The human being can live and yet be spiritually dead, but conversely he can also die and yet enter eternal life, except that this is a spiritual life, whereas the former only concerns the body, whereby the soul is in a state of lightlessness and consequently also without strength, thus a state of death is its fate, even if it lives in the midst of a joyful environment. For earthly life is only an illusory life which does not last, yet the human being who is spiritually dead is also without realisation and therefore places the illusory life before the actual life, the life of the spirit in eternity. But what are you human beings basically and really? You are spiritual, only enclosed by a material cover, and as soon as this cover falls, which is transient, the spiritual in you is free, no matter in what state the soul leaves the body …. It is free from its outer form, but not every soul is free to will and able to create. But wanting and being able to create out of itself is its bliss, it is the state which was its original purpose and which has been lost. Wanting and being able to create, however, is synonymous with life …. being able to be continuously active according to its will …. On earth, too, ‘life’ means being able to be active unhindered by physical weaknesses and infirmities, for an earthly life which is accompanied by the latter is not fully valued and is regarded as a shortcoming as long as the human being does not have the right knowledge about his earthly task. On earth, however, even the inactive person usually compensates himself by fulfilling earthly desires and thus helps himself to overcome his state of weakness or conscious inactivity …. idleness …. taking himself day by day, which was given to him for the upward development of his soul. In the spiritual kingdom, on the other hand, the soul must do without any anaesthetic, it must feel the state of its inactivity oppressive, it must become a torment to it so that it seeks to escape from it. Its lack of strength prevents it from changing its state on its own authority, it is poor in every respect and has to live in want until help is brought to it in its adversity through the prayer of people close to it on earth. For where love sends such a prayer after it into eternity, a glimmer of realisation will come to the soul in a flash. If it uses this, the light around it will soon become stronger and the dreadful torments of lightlessness will subside. But the desire for life now awakens in it and stimulates it to activity, but activity in the beyond is: to work in love, just as the soul can only gain eternal life on earth through a life of love, which only gives its soul the right life. And thus death need never frighten a person who endeavours to live a life of love on earth, for he will not die but live in eternity. But for the others, who only value earthly life alone, death will retain its sting, for they are truly in the state of death after their demise, only that they are not completely extinguished but that the awareness of their existence clings to them extraordinarily and often such that they only think of themselves and pay no attention to the hardship of the souls around them. And then they are in deepest danger of having to remain in the state of death for eternities, for only love can give life, because the law of love has to be fulfilled on earth as well as in the beyond, because without love there is no life and the human being can never be saved. Life and death can therefore be close together, a person’s passing away need not signify his death, just as a person’s life on earth can only be called life if the spirit is constantly active, if the person sets himself a spiritual aim and eagerly pursues it; if he works with love as his spirit tells him to do, for he will not die but live for eternity ….

Amen

Direct your gaze inwards, sharpen your spiritual ear and listen to what I reveal to you through My spirit. Then you will also hear My voice and behold My image deep in your heart, you will experience My love in every way, which I bestow upon those who entrust themselves to Me, to whom I want to be a guide throughout their entire earthly life. My love, however, expresses itself especially in the increase of their souls’ maturity, which is certainly achieved through My love and grace but which also results in increased love for Me, so that My love kindles theirs and makes it become a bright flame and the human being is urged to increased loving activity …. Therefore, if love flares up in you then you also know that I Myself am in you; otherwise you would not be able to feel love …. Thus I am close to the one who gives love and practices love. And I determine his will, thinking and actions through My spirit working in him. Let this be said to you that love ennobles everything, that it cannot give birth to anything bad and that it always guarantees My presence …. But when is love pure, that is, divine? When is it to be assessed and recognised as an emanation of love on My part? …. When it is not self-love, when the principle of giving predominates and when the human being’s thoughts are meant for Me, even though they also concern his neighbour’s well-being. For true love will always also have an earthly effect as long as you humans live on earth …. There are probably few of you who exclusively turn their gaze towards Me. But as soon as the neighbour steps into their path, giving neighbourly love will also be practised, and because this is a law from eternity that love has to have an effect, that it impels to give, that it seeks to make happy and finds its own happiness in making the neighbour happy. And this love is divine, it pleases Me and will be blessed by Me. And I will never condemn the one who is close to Me through love, who carries Me Myself within himself, who fulfils My commandment to love his neighbour as himself, who, through love for his fellow human being, ties Me to himself …. I will remain with him, for he has prepared his heart for Me to dwell in, he has become Mine through love and can never ever lose My love ….

Amen

You must feel completely unbound if you want to reach the highest level of realisation on earth. You must, as it were, be able to renounce earthly life in exchange for a better life if I take it from you, and you must not feel the slightest regret at the thought of having to part from your surroundings, from your neighbour as well as from everything dear to you. You must be able and willing to give up everything, then you will no longer be bound to earth and your spiritual ascent will be assured. Hence, to renounce is the first thing you have to practise, and if I therefore take something from you to which your heart is chained I will only help you because it is difficult for you to voluntarily renounce, and if you love Me you must also resign yourselves with complete trust to everything that has been destined for you since eternity, you must bear your fate without complaint, want to serve Me and completely hand yourselves over to My guidance. Then the soul will mature and you will already find peace and tranquillity on this earth, for I will only take from you that which signifies a danger for your soul, that which still ties you to earth and which to give away is an act of free will that is still weakly developed in you and which I thereby want to strengthen. And thus you know why I reduce your earthly possessions and why you had to go through a time of loss of earthly goods and what reason I give to let you also intellectually recognise the truth. For everything that happens is based on profound wisdom, and to you, who are to spread My word, I also want to give you a truthful explanation, after all, you yourselves are often affected by the fate which, however, touches people almost without exception in the last days. You should enlighten your fellow human beings, after all, it is incomprehensible to them that everything has been taken from them and that the eternal creator has allowed this to happen. It is all for your good, for you are still too closely tied to matter and therefore need support from Me, which I have also given you, even though you are unable to recognise My love and wisdom in it. Yet you do not know the danger your soul was in and that you can only gain even if you lost what you loved on earth. Soon your life will be over and nothing of earthly goods will follow you into eternity. Therefore it is not too great a sacrifice to voluntarily give up what hinders your spiritual ascent, and you will thank Me when the end has come and you feel free from all earthly desire ….

Amen

What God has joined together, let not man put asunder …. This I say to you, in Whose power it lies to bless a union or to dissolve it. I tell you so that you shall recognise from it that neither your own will nor chance brought you together but that My will alone was decisive and that you must submit yourselves to this will if you do not want to grieve Me and act against Me. The fate of both of you is destined for you and will unfold as it has been determined since eternity …. You only have little time left and in this short time you shall serve Me with all your heart, and you can only do this in complete agreement, in the complete devotion of one for the other. And for this reason, much love for each other is necessary, because the same thinking, the same wanting and the same acting is the prerequisite for a spiritual cooperation which goes beyond the bounds of the natural. But how do you want to be active if My spirit cannot work in you at the same time? For you are dependent on each other and therefore have to live together in harmonious understanding, and this requires pure deep love for each other which you have to cultivate like a delicate flower, which you have to guard like a precious stone, for love alone makes it possible that I Myself am with you and prepare you for your task, for your work for My kingdom. If you want Me to take full and complete possession of you, then you must enter the circuit of My love through loving activity and constantly seek contact with Me. And you will always and constantly find the opportunity to do so, for daily life requires and demands much loving activity towards each other as well as towards your fellow human beings. And you must not forget that you owe love to each other, that everyone is entitled to the love of the other. And therefore you should work together for Me and My kingdom, because I need hearts which are willing and able to love and I have recognised these in you. Take My words seriously, let yourselves be admonished to constantly unite so that you can work together with joy and devotion to Me, Who will bless you and your spiritual activity as I have promised you ….

Amen

In times of the most blatant lack of love, people must be particularly influenced by an exemplary life of love so that they recognise their faults and weaknesses, so that they take it as an example when their neighbour approaches them with a request. No human being is spared suffering and hardship, everyone will be dependent on the help of others, and then everyone should also prove himself, the will to love in him should be stimulated and come into effect. A good example can bring more blessings than just words of instruction, a good example often wins over a hard heart. And you, who voluntarily work for Me, you know about the effect of a life of love, you have become receivers of strength and light and can therefore be active in love in an earthly and spiritual way …. You can give at any time, even though spiritual gifts are not valued as much by fellow human beings who do not live in love themselves. Yet the distribution of earthly goods, help in daily life, is also particularly significant in your work for My kingdom. For where you distribute such you will also find open hearts for the spiritual gifts and awaken reciprocal love. The great lack of love can only be controlled in such a way that My Own are recognisable through their work of love, that they obviously step out of the framework of the general public, that their way of life stimulates fellow human beings to think and to imitate them. For love is a power which never remains ineffective. My emanation of power comes to light in the working of love, and thus I Myself work where love is practised, and where I work, success can never fail to materialise. The awakening of the slightest degree of reciprocal love is already a success which cannot be valued highly enough, for then the human being already unites with Me and, through the smallest work of love, extricates himself of My adversary, whose sharpest counter-weapon is love. He cannot withstand love, and continued working in love completely drives him away. If a person now begins to change, if he gives up unkindness and endeavours to do the smallest of labours of love, he will noticeably feel the release from the power to which he has been in bondage until then. If he pays attention to this and continues on the path of love he will also feel freer and drawn towards God, he will then unconsciously strive towards Me. For the knowledge of his beginning and his destiny will not yet earn him the feeling of God’s presence, but loving activity lets him sense what was previously hidden from him, and therefore it is extremely important to kindle the spark of love in the fellow human being so that he himself feels the feeling of God-connectedness within himself and seeks to increase it. And if he does not do so on his own accord it should be demonstrated to him by good example, and if his heart is not yet completely hardened an act of love shown to him will not remain without effect, and then one more soul will be won for My kingdom, which otherwise would inevitably be lost forever.

Amen

All spiritual conversations ensure success, just not always immediately afterwards. Some time may pass before they are utilised, but they do not remain entirely without impression if there is mutual interest during the conversation. If, on the other hand, one part only listens reluctantly or inwardly rejects it, then success is doubtful, unless fate puts him into life situations where he recalls such conversations. Then there will also be success, and he will be grateful for the instructions he received from the spiritual conversation. And therefore, My servants should use every opportunity to promote My kingdom. They should take every opportunity to inform their fellow human beings of My working, they should teach where teaching is possible and always bear in mind that the spiritual forces are also active and influence the thoughts of those who have spiritual conversations, and that these forces also subsequently still try to exert their influence by repeatedly intervening in people’s thoughts and reminding them of the speeches, and thus My servants on earth helped them to direct people’s thinking in a spiritual direction. And this spiritual activity is incumbent upon you, for only then is full understanding present for the spiritual knowledge offered by Me when the human being mentally deals with it, and this is only the result of debates of spiritual content, providing the will is present to be told the truth …. (28.7.1947) If people are willing to engage in spiritual conversations then their course of thoughts will be directed as if by itself towards a subject which the beings of light want to explain to them, so that they will progress in realisation and knowledge. They certainly believe to have raised this question themselves but the influence of those beings has preceded, for they are in knowledge of the spiritual state of the people entrusted to them, whom they now try to instruct in accordance with divine will. But it absolutely requires an open heart, thus the human being must have the will to broaden his knowledge, he must desire the truth. Then the beings of light will teach him, they will often intervene in his thoughts …. Anyone who makes the spiritual kingdom the aim of his thoughts will always be guided by his spiritual guardians in such a way that he will be offered the opportunity for spiritual conversations, that he will be able to express his thoughts and thereby will benefit himself from it as well as his partner in the conversation can increase his knowledge according to his desire. And thus the beings of light also determine the human being’s fate to a certain extent, i.e. they also intervene in earthly experience but with the aim of the spiritual progress of those who are entrusted to them as protégés. But they always guide the human being according to God’s will, so that the human being’s destiny has been determined by God since eternity but is carried out by the beings of light, just as the human being’s will itself is decisive for his destiny. Then they will influence the human being’s thoughts in such a way that he will undertake what is advantageous for his spiritual upward development. It is no coercion which is exerted on the human being, only a representing of this or that thought which the human being can now freely take up or let flow, and he will also use his free will if he feels little coercion and yet listens to the spiritual influences, although he believes he shapes his life himself through his free will. The spiritual guardians are full of love for their charges and also guide their life’s destiny such that spiritual development can always be furthered, that great spiritual danger can be averted and the connection with God can be established and eagerly cultivated, but always respecting the human being’s free will, thus never exerting coercion on his decision. But if the human being is pleasantly touched by spiritual conversations, if he seeks them or does not avoid them, then he will gain inconceivably much, for then the spiritual working of the beings of light can be infered with certainty, and then he will also be certain of his ascent, for where beings of light can work the human being is relieved of all danger …. he will progress in his upward development, he will reach the aim on earth, he will enter into contact with God and never ever be without spiritual protection and help ….

Amen

A short period of time only passes until the end of this world. And in this short time I use all means to cause you to transform your soul. I make Myself heard to people before the last Judgment is still to be expected. Thus you humans must first await this manifestation of Mine before you expect the final end. But this follows the previous one very quickly. Again and again I have to announce the same to you, otherwise you do not believe My words enough; again and again I have to point this out to you because you humans are currently not spiritually minded enough, thus you do not value words offered to you from above much differently than human talk, indeed, you rather acknowledge and pay attention to the latter than instructions whose content only benefits your soul. So what shall I do in order to urge on you what is necessary for your souls’ salvation? If My word is unable to motivate you to tackle the work on your soul, My voice must sound louder so that you will be alarmed and call out to Me in the fear and distress with which you will be seized in view of the end. And I point out this event, which takes place in nature, to you with all urgency, for only then will it give My word the confirmation of its authenticity, which people mostly doubt. But before that I already want to have an effect on human hearts which are receptive for My love and grace, which recognise My word as a sign of love and grace and therefore accept it with joy and gratitude. These will have a double blessing from the last admonition and warning sign. They will be exceedingly strengthened in faith themselves and therefore eagerly and with conviction speak up for My word and will be able to successfully participate in Christ’s work of redemption. For now the eyes of all believers are directed towards the end, which they expect with conviction and therefore will also stand firm in every battle against Me and My (word) kingdom. This is My purpose in My frequent announcements beforehand that a last sign of My love and mercy will still be sent to all people, even though it will only rarely be recognised as such. But My Own understand that and why I speak to people from on high and therefore they expect every day that I will let My voice be heard. But I have My fixed plan and I speak when the time has come, when you least expect Me, when you think of Me as inactive, when an earthly adversity has seemingly been averted. But what is foretold in word and scripture comes true …. I will let a natural event of unheard-of magnitude and expansion take place which will cost countless human lives …. And yet, this is only a small foreshadowing of the destruction on the last day, only that I will not visibly express Myself now, whereas shortly before the end I Myself will come to make My Own happy and fetch them home into My kingdom. But anyone who survives the natural disaster beforehand will gain convinced faith if he is serious about it. And this is My purpose, that a deeply believing person now represents everything to his fellow human beings which refers to the last end …. For this will not be long in coming. (31.7.1947) When My voice will be audible from above, you will fast be approaching the end. For many the last hour of life will indeed already have struck with the outbreak of that natural disaster which will claim countless human victims, yet I announce this for the survivors’ sake, for they shall derive a benefit for their souls from it, they shall learn to believe and learn to recognise Me as their Creator and Sustainer, as Father and divine Friend, they shall call to Me of their own accord and, if they have experienced My obvious help, strive towards Me; having recognised Me they shall seek to attain Me with a loving heart and make My will their own; having found Me they shall not give Me up again but remain faithful to Me until the end …. And therefore I allow the earth to be partially affected by an exceedingly great storm of destruction so that the thoughts of those who survive will change and turn to Me, Who I long for My living creations which are still far away from Me and yet possess My love because they once came forth from Me and shall return to Me again. For My love does not diminish, My love never ceases, it is eternally meant for the created by Me, even if it has not yet found its way to Me. Then I will show it the path again and again and offer Myself as a guide to those who entrust themselves to My care and want to follow Me, so that one day they will reach their aim, so that they will be eternally united with Me, as was their original destiny ….

Amen

And I have no greater concern than to make you partakers of My kingdom which, with its glory, with its spiritual creations, offers unimagined bliss, which is therefore worth striving for beyond all measure. But, so that I am able to offer you all this, you humans must also be informed of what eternal glory consists of so that you strive to attain salvation and fulfil all conditions I have attached to the attainment of eternal bliss. You must unconsciously or consciously fulfil My will, i.e. be driven from within into loving activity or practise loving activity, educate yourselves to love if you do not carry it within yourselves. And because you have a totally weakened will and would certainly never fulfil these conditions of Mine if earthly life would give you complete satisfaction, I come to your aid in such a way that you admittedly do not recognise My help but rather doubt My will to help as well as Me and My existence itself. You are so far behind in realisation, you are in the knowledge of those who are no longer in contact with the original power from which they originated. You yourselves no longer have any powers of judgement and therefore believe what is presented to you without accounting for the extent to which what is offered to you corresponds to the truth. And therefore My first concern for the souls’ salvation is the imparting of the pure truth. You must first accept this into your heart or you will not acknowledge the eternal Truth Itself and strive towards It. And therefore I will help you in every way, I will bring you the light to illuminate the still dark path, I will bring you the eternal truth. I convey it to you through My word and confirm it through My obvious influence …. I fulfil what seers and prophets have proclaimed to you long before …. I give My word even more emphasis by putting countless people into a state of anxiety from which they can still flee to Me in their distress. I use the sharpest means, so to speak, in order to influence the human being without coercion who is not yet entirely of bad will …. I inflict many pains on people who are still attached to earthly matter too much in order to teach them to overcome the latter. For in order to be able to enjoy the spiritual kingdom in all its glory, matter must first have been completely overcome. My aim is your happiness, and therefore I must inflict a misfortune on you now …. but one day you will recognise My care, My love for you, and blessed are those who then stand at the gate of heaven, who no longer allow themselves to be beguiled by the world for the sake of the spiritual kingdom. Blessed are those who are already convinced of My love on earth, who humbly accept all adversity and know that I only send them what is best for them. For they have faith and belong to My Own, otherwise they would lack realisation. But anyone who knows about My love for My living creations is not as much affected by adversity, by earthly suffering and hardship, even though he is confronted with them, for he always retains hope and firm confidence in My help despite all difficulties in life, because he also recognises My love in suffering and throws himself into the father’s arms like a child, hoping for His help. But he also knows that earthly life is only a school for life in eternity and that it therefore has to be difficult if the human being is to attain the highest maturity of soul on earth. And he abides by My promise: ‘What no man’s eye has ever seen and what no man’s ear has ever heard, these I have prepared for those who love Me ….” I truly know no greater joy than to make My creatures happy, because I have loved them from the beginning and will never cease to love them. If My creatures have left Me, I nevertheless do not rest in regaining them again. For I will not give up in eternity what was once Mine, and I will certainly achieve their return, but often only after an infinitely long time. But in order to shorten the time of their being far from Me, which is also a time of wretchedness, I use all means. And likewise in the last time before the end, for now there is great danger that they will no longer recognise Me, that they will no longer love Me and therefore even deny Me with a completely turned away mind if I do not help them in such a way that they have to recognise Me and can love Me if only they are of good will. Yet everything I do is based on My love which never ends and is eternally intended for My living creations ….

Amen

Recognise your weaknesses and try to resolve them …. don’t become impatient when you should put yourselves into another person’s position, and be lenient …. don’t hurt his feelings, and take the commandment of love seriously when your neighbour needs your active help or encouraging words …. Don’t provide any reason for argument but kind-heartedly try to find agreement, take My example, I Who approached all people with a loving heart to win them over. And thus you, too, should always try to win the other person’s heart; you should leave nothing undone that could awaken love, for full understanding of the other person’s weaknesses can only manifest itself in love. And thus each one of you should do this to the other, leave no opportunity unused to please with a kind word or a loving action, for if you avoid hurting your neighbour, if you give him inner peace, you will do a truly Christian deed of neighbourly love which will benefit you, for you will thereby strengthen him physically and spiritually. He will be placed into a state of love himself, he will feel love in return, and he will not fail to put his love into action. He will lessen his selfish love ….

Be patient and gentle, meek and humble, and your life will become easier, for love is the best weapon against animosity, and love forgives and endures, it gives and makes happy, it unites hearts, it heals wounds and will never be without understanding of the other person’s weaknesses and faults and will finally triumph nevertheless, for love is strength which achieves whatever it wants ….

Amen

Do not let yourselves be carried away to any judgement as long as you are not yet of fully awakened spirit. There is so infinitely much that would burden your intellect if it should digest it, but which is nevertheless divine wisdom, thus knowledge which completely corresponds to truth. The human being, in his inadequacy, cannot grasp a particle of it, nor can he receive light about it through even the sharpest intellectual activity, but he must desire and receive clarification about it in a spiritual way …. He must let God speak to him directly or in the form of thoughts which arise in him after heartfelt prayer for enlightenment. What is fully understandable to one person can be knowledge darker than the deepest night to another, and thus the latter will reject what the former recognises and accepts as pure truth. But a debate about it can also give clarification to the latter, if he demands such. Likewise, God can also distribute the truth in the form of instructions through fellow human beings, if He can express Himself through an organ or dictate to it in the pen what is necessary to know: …. There are various explanations of the scriptural text of the creation of the world, and each can be truth if it originated from the One Who is the eternal Truth Himself. And thus it depends on the degree of maturity of the person being taught which explanation he needs. He can look at the days of creation as he likes, he can want to recognise a purely spiritual relation and be instructed accordingly …. But he can also regard himself as the centre of all material creation and accordingly interpret the traditional words of Moses or put them aside as incomprehensible to him until further notice, i.e. until his maturity of knowledge is increased by a way of life in accordance with divine will. He will never attain complete understanding on earth, for divine wisdom is inexhaustible, unfathomable, until the human being is perfect, although God enlightens the human being and can impart extensive knowledge to him through His spirit. The creation of the world cannot be made clear to people in any other way than metaphorically. The people of Moses’ time were familiar with imagery, so that they not only understood it as the earthly, i.e. the material development of the earth, but were also able to comprehend the spiritual relation, if they wished to learn about it. Moses’ words are not given superficially, and therefore they cannot be understood according to their wording either, but God Himself spoke to Moses, and indeed for the whole of humanity of a whole epoch of redemption, which encompasses an infinitely long period of time …. (5.8.1947) And his speech was designed in such a way that it could be applied to the present, the past and the future. It illuminated both the time from the beginning to the end of a redemptive epoch as well as the time before and the time still to come, which was clearly and surely foreseen by a spiritual visionary, as Moses was, even if the human being as such does not know about future things. To the visionary, however, everything is revealed, and his actions are accordingly. Moses therefore gave humanity a light, he was in fullest unison with God’s will, and therefore he was also able to express what urged him to speak: God now wanted to make known to people the order of earthly creation, whereby it must be considered, however, that an infinitely long time was needed for this and this time must be related to both spiritual and earthly development. The spiritual development always concerns the creatural in the embodiment as a human being last. Consequently, the upward development as a human being must also be comparable with the slow development of earthly creation, and since the former takes place in divine order, it must resemble the course of development of the earthly material world, which also took its course in God-ordained order. Only the spiritually striving human being understands the connection and can realise this, and he also understands the spiritual meaning of Moses’ words. However, a more comprehensible explanation cannot be given as long as the parallel of spiritual and material upward development is not sought. To explain the development of the material creation to people was truly not important, and the knowledge of it does not enrich the human being. Nevertheless, its beginning was in accordance with the spiritual state of the creatural …. Everything that followed resulted from the preceding. But it can by no means be denied that God constantly gives men indications of their destiny, of their purpose in life …. the higher development of the soul. Through Moses the same thing happened in the same way that people’s attention was drawn to the origin of the earthly creation, always in view of the spiritual aim. And in the same way the man Jesus explained the words of Moses, driven by the spirit in Himself, and the spiritual development of the human being was of greater importance to Him, so that He explained everything in view of it in order to induce people to attach less importance to the actual creation of the world than to the spiritual correspondence, the parallel, which every earthly event has to show and which has to be paid far more attention to if the human being wants to achieve success for his soul …. Many other explanations can be offered, and it is also the case that the recipients of spiritual announcements receive different interpretations of them through the work of the spirit. But then a discussion is necessary from time to time, and where the same views, the same explanations are to be found, there it is also possible to speak of sure working of the spirit, for all explanations must agree with each other and ultimately always concern the spiritual man’s upward development, albeit in an easier or more difficult to grasp representation. Where the spirit of God itself can work, understanding is also guaranteed ….

Amen

Much is still hidden to you, yet My love does not set any limits to your knowledge if you try to transcend them of your own free will. Yet I must demand one thing of you that you believe My words, that you recognise the teachings as divine and use them accordingly. For you must tell yourselves that I do not speak to you arbitrarily but that My wisdom and love see the necessity …. that I know about your helplessness and want to remedy it. And what I now proclaim to you from above has unconditional educational value …. it shall shape your soul into perfection. Consequently, I will not burden you with knowledge the possession of which does not particularly contribute to increase your souls’ maturity, for you receive this knowledge in the spiritual kingdom as soon as you have become receivers of light and strength and as such are also able to utilise it for yourselves and for the needy souls handed over to you for care. But what you lack is the knowledge of My will. And therefore I convey this to you as the first and most important thing for your earthly task. I familiarise you with My will, which merely concerns the fulfilment of divine order, and I constantly present to you the blessing of unselfish neighbourly love as well as, conversely, the hardship of the soul if you do not observe this commandment. Through increased love for Me you can now extend your knowledge, yet you also have to possess a certain spiritual maturity in order to derive the right benefit from it. Without this state of maturity the knowledge is completely useless to you, and therefore I only ever give according to the human being’s state of soul, yet every word is the purest truth which is conveyed to you from above through My love. And the more faithfully you receive it the deeper you penetrate, and the greater peace and tranquillity will come over you if you recognise My love and wisdom and, as it were, entrust yourselves completely to Me in order to receive further knowledge and let yourselves be made happy by Me. You can still mature a lot and receive divine truth, but then your striving for it must never stop, you must always think of your aim and make use of every opportunity to assimilate the content of the announcements so that you will also receive the undivided blessing of those, so that you will learn to love Me and diligently work on shaping your souls ….

Amen

And you shall be witnesses of the last events on this earth …. Therefore if I have appointed you to it, a mission awaits you, the last one My disciples have to fulfil on this earth before its ruin …. that they once again establish the connection between heaven and earth, that they are mediators between Me and people in the time of hardest distress of the believers and deepest spiritual destitution of the unbelievers. This mission requires workers on earth which are willing to help and which offer their services to Me of their own free will, because otherwise people would have to be influenced by compulsory faith and this would be unsuccessful. And since I need many labourers in My vineyard I constantly hire them, I still go among people late in the day to hire servants for the last hours …. who places himself to My service? …. Only a few want to carry out work which, although it seems hopeless, is nevertheless of greatest blessing, even if only a small success would be recorded, for one saved soul alone will thank its helper in eternity that it has found its way back into the father’s house and no longer needs to take upon itself the infinite torments of a renewed earthly progress. The time is flying, the end will not tolerate any more delay, the day of the last Judgment is near and countless souls languish in spiritual darkness to whom light shall still be brought …. And therefore every labourer is welcome to Me, and everyone who takes care of the spreading of My word can consider himself My servant who is exceedingly valuable to Me if he willingly does work for Me. Work and be active while it is still day …. bring light to people, lead them through the night into the light of day, inform them of the urgency of your activity by announcing the near end to them, by pointing them to eternity, to life after death and to the state of their souls. Admonish and warn them, even though they listen to you incredulously, laugh at you or try to oppose you with their worldly wisdom. The time will come very soon when they will remember your words. For that is why I lead them into your path beforehand, so that you should already do the preliminary work, the blessing of which will only then be recognisable. And therefore do not slacken, do not let yourselves be held back by the length of time until the fulfilment of My predictions, and do not tire, for your work is urgent, it has to be done, and therefore you should always be active ….

Amen

God’s mercy is greater than His wrath, and His love is endless …. And although the last Judgment is to be regarded as a punitive Judgment, although it imposes a terrible fate on the condemned, it is nevertheless the prelude to a new redemptive epoch, it is the absolute necessity for a renewed ascent with the final aim of complete release from the form. And that is why God is not eternally angry, but God’s mercy takes the place of wrath, He helps the fallen again to ascend, even if a long time passes over it. God’s love and mercy outweigh God’s justice, even though this is satisfied by the torment of being banished. He is not eternally angry, while His love remains eternal and is meant for that which has come forth from His power. Consequently, the spiritual is the product of His love and wisdom and can therefore never ever cease to exist, it can indeed be banished from His face by God’s wrath for a long time, yet God always turns His face towards it again because love understands everything and forgives everything. (9.8.1947) That which has fallen away from Him is weak, and this weakness moves Him to pity, for God’s essence is deepest love, and love can never ever turn away but only finds happiness in the union with that which once parted as a spark with the eternal fire, from God, Who is love Himself. His embers increase and consume everything that approaches Him and turn it into most blissful beings, and where that which once emanated from Him languishes in wretchedness, there love deepens and, full of mercy, inclines towards these unhappy beings …. love does not condemn eternally because this would mean eternal distance from God and this is never possible because God is love Himself. Yet the state of union cannot occur as long as the fallen being resists it, because love never compels but only seeks to make happy. But then the being also remains unhappy, and this state, which at the same time signifies remoteness from God, where the being no longer feels God’s love, is, as it were, a judged state, a state of banishment and thus can be described as ‘being under God’s wrath’, where the being must forfeit all emanation of God’s love due to its own fault. However, the fact that this state cannot be a permanent one emerges from the fact that again and again new creations come into being and that these testify to God’s love again, Whose mercy has destined them to be the abode of the spiritual beings which oppose Him; that God’s power of love comes to light in them again and enables the creatural to reduce its state of remoteness from God and to enter into ever closer contact with the original power in order to completely join this original power of its own free will after an infinitely long time. Then God’s love will become ever more obvious to the being if it is able to recognise God’s love and grace embodied as a human being. And now it can also love God and seek union with Him in free will. And then it will be saved, for what is once seized by God’s love, what once no longer has to fear God’s wrath, will eternally remain in His grace, it will have kindled itself by the fire of love and become a flame itself, the fusion with the eternal love will irrevocably take place as soon as it surrenders itself without resistance, as soon as it has changed itself into love ….

Amen

My word reaches you from on high, that is, spiritual beings full of light convey it to you if it is not offered to you by Me Myself. And you must accept this origin if you try to fathom it, for it is wisdom which is offered to you, it is knowledge which cannot be imparted to you by human beings because without My support people can never gain it with the certainty of absolute truth. But if you believe in divine origin it must also be extremely valuable to you, you must value it as the most precious good and try to increase it, you must accept it as purest truth and live and act accordingly. Thus you must believe and accept every word as an emanation of Myself. Then it will not remain without effect on you. You, who believe, I could also offer you the word directly from on high, I could speak to you loudly and audibly without influencing your faith in a coercive way, yet this shall still attain a firmness, it shall withstand every onslaught, and therefore it must be tested again and again and also be subject to trials through My gift, for only when you unconditionally accept every word from Me as truth, the connection between you and the spiritual world is so profoundly established that constant contact can take place without any preparation, for this is necessary in the time to come when My Own will depend on the strengthening from above through My word, when they will need My encouragement, My comfort and My help in every situation of life, when they will be distressed and therefore require My support. Then they can only find it by receiving My word, and then they have to be very strong in faith so that I can express Myself soundingly without increasing their faith in a coercive way. The profundity of faith must be gained by people themselves through heartfelt prayer and steadfast conviction that they stand in the midst of divine activity. No doubt may arise in their hearts about the truth of what I offer them, they must always and constantly recognise My voice and know that they are surrounded by beings of light which prevent every disturbance if only the human being has the serious will to stand in truth and to be taught by Me. Only then will My word have the fullest effect on My Own, only then will they be aware of My presence and find peace and tranquillity in this awareness, even though they stand in the midst of the hostile world. Weak faith, however, results in doubts, and where My gift from on high is doubted no real success can be achieved, neither towards oneself nor towards fellow human beings. For there My word loses its effect and has in vain been spoken to you from on high. Believe firmly and without doubt and you will have surprising success for your souls …. My love will speak words of love to you and you will understand them and be blissful …. My love will give you advice and you will be able to go through life easily and free from worries, and if I give you an assignment you will fulfil it unhesitatingly and be My faithful ministers and servants on earth. For this reason, you first have to gain a strong faith, and for this you will also be subject to frequent tests of faith which, however, you can pass if you constantly seek contact with Me and appeal to Me for help in every adversity of body and soul. For I will never ever abandon you who receive My word from on high …. And I am constantly present and audible to you as soon as you desire to hear Me. And all My servants in the spiritual kingdom support Me and help you humans where help is required ….

Amen

You need never doubt that the voice of the spirit teaches you correctly, for it is God’s voice …. You need never assume that beings other than God-devoted beings can influence you if you first commend yourselves to God in prayer. The connection you establish with God through prayer protects you against forces which would like to impart other than pure truth to you, and your own line of thought will never lead you astray, because good spiritual forces protect you from receiving the thought material of impure beings. And yet you must always take care that you eliminate bad influence through your will yourselves, so that the battle between the world of light and the forces of darkness cannot break out in the first place, so that only good beings have access to you, which only the human being’s will can accomplish. For it alone is decisive as to which forces approach him. If your will is turned towards truth and therefore also towards God Himself, your thinking will always be right, it will correspond to the spiritual good which you receive through the working of the spirit within you; the voice of the spirit will always instruct you in divine wisdom, and everything you think, do and speak will correspond to God’s will, Who works in you through His spirit Himself and, through His presence, constantly keeps all imperfect spiritual things away from you and prevents them from distressing you or winning you over. You can be completely certain of His protection, you can also be certain of His love which protects you from all harm to your soul, and you can always regard every advice, every instruction and every other announcement as His word, as His expressed proof of love, which He constantly wants to give to you so that you will recognise and love Him and remain in constant contact with Him. For He gladly dwells where a human heart opens itself to Him, loves Him and deeply desires Him …. And there is no more intimate union with God than through love …. Where love is practised, God will always be present and will reward the earthly child a thousandfold for its love. But the most beautiful reward on earth is His word, which sounds in the human heart …. Anyone who reaches this state can consider himself extremely fortunate, for he has the undeniable proof that God loves him and wants to make him happy and makes this known through the sounding word. But then there is no longer any doubt, then the human being on earth has already reached the degree his soul needs to unite with God. Then he will only live in order to fulfil a mission assigned to him, yet his longing will now constantly be directed towards the spiritual kingdom in order to be and remain intimately united with the aim of his longing, with God, for all eternity ….

Amen

I will place the feeling as to what you should and shouldn’t do into the heart of those of you whom I love because you strive towards Me. And if you entrust yourselves to Me in prayer, if you confide your worries or thoughts to Me, you will feel it in your heart and whatever you then feel urged or desire to do, that is what you should do and it will be right before My eyes. If you commend yourselves to Me in prayer you will no longer be able to sin, for then I will no longer let you become sinful. If you appeal to Me for My protection I will grant it to you, and then you can confidently rely on the voice of your heart, that is, you can do what your heart desires. I Am your Father, I want you to come to Me with complete trust, and I truly want to provide for you like a loving father does, I want to give to you what makes you happy, providing it does not cause you damage. And since you yourselves are unable to judge what is beneficial for you and detrimental to the soul, you should come to Me and totally hand yourselves over to Me, tell Me your problems, be they of a spiritual or earthly nature, and I shall answer you, that is, I shall place My will into your heart so that you will want to do what is right and also be able to accomplish it. And thus you can come to Me with all concerns, you will never be left without an answer, for I will place it into your heart. You just have to pay attention to the voice in your heart, you ought to know that every inner urging is always the influence of forces which want to persuade you to accomplish something or to leave it. Forces of darkness will want to tempt you into committing a sin, forces of light into actions which are pleasing to Me. Let the forces of light gain influence over you, then you will never be able to sin. And hand yourselves over to these forces whenever you seek to make contact with Me in prayer, whenever you communicate with Me and always consult Me with all your problems. I love My living creations and My only goal is their salvation of soul. And where there is no danger of this I will grant them everything, even earthly pleasures, if they do not detract from spiritual striving. Yet I always want to be your Mentor, you should always leave the decision to Me and, after heartfelt prayer, ask your heart and it will truly guide you correctly ….

Amen

God instructed you to love each other; He gave you a commandment you must fulfil if you want to be saved. And this commandment requires nothing else but love for Him and your neighbour …. Yet it includes the entire work of improving your soul, which should attain perfection while you still live on earth. Your every thought, word and action should correspond to this commandment of love, it must express itself in your will to give and to please, to help, comfort, encourage and protect …. the human being must do to other people what would please himself were he in need of the same degree of help. Love your neighbour as yourself …. Hence, God has granted the human being a degree of selfish love by which he can always judge how far he fulfils the commandment of neighbourly love. If a person loves himself very much, he also has a duty to give a greater measure to his fellow human being if he wants to comply with God’s will. In that case he must also accomplish more kind-hearted deeds …. If a person’s selfish love is small and he wants to fulfil God’s will, his neighbourly love will exceed the degree of selfish love, and he will find this easier because he will easily be able to let go of earthly possessions and give them to his fellow human beings. But you humans are always expected to practise unselfish neighbourly love, consequently, you must also be able to go without, you must be able to make sacrifices in favour of pleasing a fellow human being. And the more you love a fellow human being, the easier you can do this. But in order to awaken the feeling of love for a fellow human being you must bear in mind that all of you are children of a Father, that all of you came forth from the same strength and therefore all of you are creatures of God’s love …. Then you will learn to regard your fellow human being as your brother, you will treat him with love, you will want to help him if he suffers adversity, and your willingness to help will make you happy, because it is blissful in itself and results in spiritual knowledge …. If you give to your neighbour what you desire yourselves, then God will give you what belongs to Him …. He will give you the truth, He will give you light and strength and grace …. He will please you and likewise will only give you possessions which originate from His kingdom, which cannot be offered to you in an earthly way. But He will also bless your possessions in an earthly way by increasing what you sacrifice if it benefits your soul’s salvation. If you therefore give because of love for your neighbour, you will not need to starve, for God’s love will give you in kind if you are in need, and He is not prudent with His Own but distributes His gifts without measure …. providing you also sacrifice without anxiously calculating what you can do without. If you are impelled to give by love, you will not hesitate or give very little and therefore also receive in abundance from the eternal Love. And if you are incapable of the feeling of love, then you must train yourselves to accomplish unselfish deeds of love, you must look around yourselves and actively intervene with helpful support when you come across hardship. This is God’s will, and you should adopt this will as your own, then your kind-hearted activity for your neighbour will make you happy in every way …. you will kindle love in yourselves until it grows into a bright flame which takes hold of everything that enters its vicinity. For love is divine, it comes forth from God and leads back to God again, this is why the commandment of love for God and one’s neighbour is the most important commandment which must be fulfilled on earth as well as in the beyond in order to unite with the eternal Love and to attain eternal bliss ….

Amen

As long as you humans are not of the same opinion you are also not of the same spirit, for the voice of the spirit will only ever proclaim the truth, it will never contradict itself, thus it will express itself concurringly with all people. Therefore, anyone who listens to the voice of the spirit can also be convinced to hear the truth as an answer to questions which are put to him. But I will not withhold an answer from you if you approach Me for it yourselves; I will give it to you through My spirit if it can work in you; I will give it to you in the form of clear thoughts if you do not hear the voice of the spirit yourselves, or also through My servants on earth whose instructions you may confidently accept as pure unadulterated truth. What you receive in the form of thoughts must therefore correspond to what My messengers convey to you, otherwise you are not yet enlightened, thus you have not desired My answer but your thoughts are the result of intellectual thinking alone. You have to make this distinction that you can very well come up with an answer to spiritual questions which has no claim to absolute truth if I am thereby eliminated insofar as that you have not requested My judgment before forming your own opinion. And therefore, different opinions will always be found amongst people, and now the question arises: Who is enlightened by My spirit? Which result is pure truth? And in case of doubt there is again only one answer: Submit the questions to Me and I will answer them for you so that you will come to clarity …. I distribute My gifts unmeasured but always considering how they will be used by the recipient …. I can give, I can deny. The former where the gift is utilised in accordance with My will, the latter where My love and My activity are not recognised and therefore My gift is not appreciated. I can hand out little or much as well, and both again depend on the recipient and his unconditional faith in Me …. Thus a believer will always be allowed to receive from Me and need not suffer any hardship, for I Myself never overspend and thus always have gifts ready to hand out, even if this seems impossible in an earthly view, for I am, after all, the Lord over all creation and I am also free to distribute the fruits of My creations at My discretion. And one person can have it while the other comes away empty-handed, and this at times of earthly adversity as well as earthly prosperity, for the distribution of earthly goods is solely up to Me. And therefore a believing person does not need to make provisions, because this is My sole concern as to what a person should dispose of …. (16.8.1947) And if you consider the different distribution of earthly goods amongst your fellow human beings you have to admit yourselves that this does not depend on the human being alone but that it happens in a way according to destiny, that the human being himself does not always control the creating of living conditions according to his wishes. And ultimately, if you believe, you must look at this distribution from My point of view, that I prepare both good and bad living conditions for people, depending on the necessity for the soul’s maturing. In the same way, therefore, the care of the body is My work and proceeds according to the strength of faith. And the weak believer will not rely so firmly on My help and therefore also be petty in caring for his body, where he would only be allowed to trustingly appeal to Me in order to be free from all concern for his physical well-being. Providing for you in the long term does not correspond to My will, for My aim is to develop you into supreme strength of faith, and you humans will rarely realise that I obviously stand by you, that I sustain you and cover all your needs, often in a way which completely steps out of the bounds of the natural in order to precisely thereby strengthen your faith and form it to such strength that there is no longer any doubt about the fulfilment of every request and that the human being need not worry at all about the maintenance of his body as long as he lives on earth. This strength of faith also guarantees complete supply, certainly corresponding to the spiritual state of the general public but also adapted to the needs of the individual. I truly know what people need, and I especially take care of My Own, i.e. those who strive towards Me of their own free will and acknowledge Me as their father from eternity, and I will prevent their faith from being shattered. And therefore I often take from people what they have gathered with the intention of providing for themselves for later times, otherwise they will need a long time to trustingly open their hearts to Me in profound faith and to request and expect My help. For I want to be recognised by people, I want to be a faithful father to them, and My children shall bring every request to Me, entrust themselves to Me and faithfully expect My help. And they will never ever suffer hardship again, for I have given them the promise: ‘Seek first the kingdom of God, and all other things shall be yours as well …. “

Amen

Let Me speak to you in all places, at all times and in all situations of life, in joy and in suffering, in hardship and worry of body and soul by turning your thoughts to Me and desiring to hear My voice …. And I will speak to you, and everyone who expects My communication shall hear Me. For I have promised you that I will manifest Myself to the one who loves Me and keeps My commandments, who thus strives towards Me and lives a life of love …. Anyone who fulfils My commandment will also recognise My Word, he will accept My revelations and be joyful in the knowledge that I Am talking to him. The awareness of hearing Words of love from Me will make him happy, he will strive towards Me even more sincerely and ever more longingly listen to My Word in silence, he will open his heart to Me and I Myself will enter him, I will take abode in his heart, I will unite with him and remain in constant communication with him. This is the state every person on earth should strive for, to be in constant contact with Me, to mentally establish this bond and, in blissful unity with Me, to relish My flesh and My blood, that is, to accept the strength of My Word. Once you have reached this state on earth you can confidently consider yourselves as My children, you can come with every concern like a child to its father, you may know yourselves loved by Me and need not be afraid or feel abandoned in any earthly adversity for then I will constantly be with you, I will safeguard every step you take, I will guide and protect you and grant every wish you request of Me in spirit and in truth.

I will hear your call, regardless of how secretly it is being sent up to Me …. For I love those of you who have the will to come to Me. And since I Am connected to you by greater than great love I will not allow you to go astray if, faced by a crucial decision, you don’t know which way to turn. I will very gently push you towards the right path, I will take you by your hand so that you will not stumble, I will illuminate the path if it gets dark and you are no longer able to recognise it properly. And time and again you may be permitted to hear My voice which intends to give you the assurance that I Myself Am with you. You should only look upon the earth as a stage of transition in order to achieve on it the degree which allows for My presence. However, once you have achieved this you no longer need to fear anything of an earthly nature, for then you will be earmarked as aspirants for the spiritual kingdom and they will infallibly attain their goal. Consequently, don’t be afraid of that which will still be imposed upon you in an earthly way, because it is only temporary and will just last a very short period of time, which you will no longer have to go through on your own but in constant company with Me you will also be protected from all harm. The hearts in which I have taken abode belong to Me without fail, and I will never again let go of that which has become My possession, and this assurance should make your life easier to bear, you should believe it and always consider yourselves as My children who will safely return to their Father’s house under My guidance ….

Amen

Expect My speedy arrival, for there is not much time until the end …. You will shortly experience things which will confirm what My love has made known to you long in advance …. namely, that the final phase before the end has already started. You will wonder why I allow such disasters to happen, why I let such immense adversity come upon humankind and I can only ever give you the answer that it is necessary for those people who have as yet not recognised Me and only ever look upon each event from an earthly point of view but never associate people’s spiritual development with it. These are irrevocably the final pangs, and the end will follow soon without fail. Time and again I call your attention to the fact that you should not go through earthly life in a secular-minded way, as it only lasts for a short time and it can still be of greatest significance for you if you consider your purpose and make appropriate use of life. However, you humans are half-hearted and complacent regarding My admonitions and warnings, for you don’t believe in My Word. And I can’t give you further proof about the truth of My Word, because you must take the right path without influence, you must feel impelled from within to comply with My will, otherwise your souls cannot mature. Yet you can draw visible proof from the forthcoming event, for thereby I will come extraordinarily close to you, revealing Myself to those who know about My gifts of grace and confirming these to them so that they will be able to recognise Me. And those of you who want to be of service to Me should know that you do not have a long lifetime ahead of you and that the mission incumbent upon you allows for no further delay, and that you, for the sake of this mission, should first convince yourselves of the truth of My Word so that you can spread it without inhibition. And thus you will see that everything I have proclaimed to you in Word and Scripture will come true. You will learn to despise the world and examine the spiritual kingdom more thoroughly, for your own advantage, for the transformation of your soul. Countless beings of light are at My disposal, and through these I influence you humans time and again by constantly steering your thoughts to the forthcoming event, by allowing you to go through so much adversity and misery until you yourselves will yearn for the downfall of Earth in order to escape from the harsh pressures inflicted upon you by fellow human beings. Then you will gradually prepare yourselves for the end, for then you will believe in it and make an effort to live on earth to please Me. This time will be followed by incredible chaos, during which you should trustingly expect My help from utmost adversity, for I assured you of this and will not disappoint your faith. And thus these Words of Mine are your best guarantee that no harm will come to you even though you will be put under pressure from all directions. However, you must give your love to Me, and if you love Me you will long for Me, and for that reason I will come to fetch you from the place of perdition into My kingdom, where you will never ever be persecuted again, where only I Am in charge and evil is not allowed to enter. And all hardship will have come to an end for the believers, but for the others the adversity will have just started, as I have proclaimed …. they will be condemned into darkness …. they will be banished on the new Earth into creations which are beyond your imagination until you populate the new Earth yourselves ….

Amen

I want to be a loving Father to you, a wise guide and advisor, a faithful friend and brother, I want to give you everything you need on earth both psychologically and physically, I constantly want to care for you and you shall never feel abandoned by Me; I want to stand by your side in every adversity and protect you from all onslaughts by your enemies, be they spiritual or earthly, I want to shower you with an abundance of gifts of grace and you shall always recognise My love which I have felt for you since the very beginning and which will not diminish in all eternity …. Nevertheless, I expect you to entrust yourselves unto Me, to strive towards Me, to love Me like a child loves its father. If this love belongs to Me, then I can take hold of you with My strength of love and completely gain you forever. And I ceaselessly seek to attract this love. This is why I will try to guide you into truth, into recognising Me Myself and My eternal plan of salvation, for you first need to know that you are My living creations and the relationship you have as My living creations with Me, the eternal Creator. You must be aware of the great responsibility towards Me and live accordingly, so that you will find grace before My eyes. Your heart must impel you to do so, only then will I recognise your love and then you will belong to My Own whom I have promised My kingdom, for then you will look for Me and when you have found Me never let go of Me again; you will seek the union with Me and appeal to Me for strength because you recognise Me as your Lord and Creator. And you will humbly approach Me, and you will be as it is pleasing to Me, full of love and truth, portraying your problems to the Father with a childlike quality. And I will grant your prayers, I will fulfil your every request because My love for you manifests itself such that I want to make you happy while you are still on earth and one day in eternity …. Therefore you must listen to My Word, for you learn to recognise Me through My Word as soon as you accept My Word in your heart, think about it and subsequently live as it pleases Me. Then you will love Me as well and see your bliss in being in possession of My love for you. In that case I can come to you Myself, I can make you happy through My presence now and forever …. I can provide you with spiritual gifts depending on your worthiness; I can receive you in My kingdom once you have finished your life on earth, and make you blissfully happy for all eternity ….

Amen

What can earthly life still offer you if you have realised that life in the spiritual kingdom is far more valuable, that it is, after all, the actual life which is only preceded by a period of preparation …. the life of the soul in embodiment as a human being …. And when this time of preparation draws to a close, every thought must then be directed towards the afterlife, this afterlife must be eagerly awaited because it replaces the life in the last shell and the soul as a free spirit enters spheres which touch it in an extremely pleasant way if only the soul has reached a certain degree of maturity. Everything earthly must lose its appeal in view of this realisation and every day must only be regarded as an intermediate station. And thus the human being cannot be shocked by the knowledge of the near end, for if he has this knowledge he knows the cause and purpose of it, and the knowledge of it only contributes to a faster detachment from everything that belongs to earth. The human being has to become calm within himself, he only has to concentrate on spiritual knowledge, he has to strive to avoid every temptation and hand himself completely over to God so that he will be seized by His love, and then he will only live in God and his earthly life will not have been in vain. However, the knowledge of eternal truth is a gift of grace which the human being can and must acquire for himself through unselfish neighbourly love; but this always means overcoming selfish love and thus renouncing earthly joys and pleasures of his own accord …. Consequently, the human being must first give something before he can receive, he must not regard the earth with its appeals as desirable, but he must learn to despise it, only then does he relinquish what is still valuable to his fellow human beings. He gives it to the needy neighbour and receives something purely spiritual in return …. The spheres of light open up to him and radiate into his heart, which now detaches itself more and more from earthly things and exchanges spiritual knowledge for it, which now makes him consciously strive for spiritual life. The end will not come as a surprise to such people, for through knowledge they stand in deep faith and through faith again in the knowledge of God’s eternal plan of salvation, of the meaning and purpose of earthly life and of the worthlessness of earthly matter. They live consciously and with God and will gladly exchange life for eternal bliss ….

Amen

The gracious act of spiritual instruction cannot be denied if a person gains an insight into spiritual knowledge of great extent and seriously reflects on it. He must then acknowledge a power as the origin if he cannot explain it naturally. The spiritually awakened person can certainly give an explanation, for he knows that the recipient’s way of life makes teachings possible …. he knows that God teaches every person who acknowledges Him as Teacher and enters His school. Nevertheless, it remains a grace of utmost significance, which not every person can exhibit, if the kind of instruction proceeds in such a way that it makes the recipient happy in the form of notes, thus that it is also extremely significant for fellow human beings. Then it can certainly be realised that God is concerned about people’s spiritual state, that He not only wants to instruct the individual but also gives his environment the opportunity to draw from the source of eternal truth, for spiritual instructions are irrefutably purest truth, which is why anyone who wants to stand in truth must have the spirit of God as a teacher. If the will for truth is present, God’s spirit is always ready to work in and on people and guides them into truth, albeit in different ways. But it is always a gift of grace which the human being receives, and this gift of grace must be desired and gratefully received. This is a prerequisite for the human being to be guided into right thinking and also to gain the inner conviction to think right, if he is not yet informed of the working of the spirit. The knowledge of this is already an increased degree of maturity of soul, a proof only for this person himself but not for his fellow human beings to whom the knowledge could not yet be imparted. For as long as they do not strive for the truth themselves, their powers of realisation are also merely weak. And consequently, they first have to be stimulated to seek the truth and call upon the Giver of truth to impart it to them, to take them to school Himself and instruct them …. And God will not let Himself be asked in vain ….

Amen

What you receive from Me not only applies to the individual person, to the recipient himself, but everyone who hears My word through him is, in a manner of speaking, My student whom I instruct Myself. The fact that the ability to receive varies and is often completely lacking does not justify the assumption that the human being is not offered the opportunity to penetrate the truth, just as, conversely, the other person does not therefore become wise, i.e. full of spiritual knowledge, because he is in direct contact with Me. The only decisive factor is the human being’s will to penetrate the truth and his way of life in unselfish neighbourly love. Thus I also give every person an answer if he desires such …. first through the transmission of My word to My servants on earth, to whom I, apart from their ability to hear My word in their heart and write it down, also give the ability to recognise and utilise everything correctly, i.e. to speak about it freely and proficiently. Thus anyone who receives My word through a mediator is likewise taught by Me, for he will recognise it as My word. But if the case has occurred that My word has lost its purity by passing it on frequently, then the person desiring truth will no longer be fully convinced but want to raise objections which can only be refuted again by My awakened disciples. The pure truth will always have a convincing effect on a person taught by My spirit. Where would My love, My wisdom and My strength be if I did not want to grant them to a person who seriously desires the truth? How would I relate to you, My children, if you were helplessly left to My adversary’s arbitrariness? I only require your will to turn to Me in full seriousness …. that you inwardly realise how ignorant and imperfect you are and therefore appeal to Me to guide you into knowledge of the pure truth. This expressed will will also inevitably bring you the truth. But very few people muster this will, and yet I cannot influence them to think right against their will, because My adversary likewise has a share in them and they have freely conceded their will to him. Thus the separation from him first has to be accomplished in terms of will before I can influence the human being with My power of grace …. But then I am only concerned to make it easy for the human being to recognise error, because this is the greatest obstacle to attaining maturity of soul. Whatever comes from My adversary with the intention of displacing Me can never be tolerated by Me but it has to be fought with perseverance and patience. And therefore, My adversary will never triumph where only the slightest will for truth is present ….

Amen

Only those who are actively engaged also in an earthly respect will ever be able to be mediators from Me to people. They must be willing and able to work constantly. For I demand this when someone starts work with Me and must demand it all the more when it is a matter of training a servant who serves Me and preparing him for an activity. Only someone who is dutiful and diligent in an earthly respect can be called upon for work which certainly touches the spiritual but also requires the use of physical strength, which thus can be called earthly to a certain extent. Thus, anyone who is deemed suitable for this work by Me will be given My gift of grace which can then be regarded as coming forth from his hands until the fellow human being tackles the work himself …. to shape his soul according to My will, which is made known to him through the gift of grace offered from above. Then he will understand the urgency of a transmission from above and recognise the purely spiritual task of the one who is active on My behalf. But anyone who disregards this working on the soul will never consider the announcements to come from above but will only see earthly work in them which, in his opinion, is completely useless. But I attach great importance to it and will not slacken to remind My servants of the urgency as well, and I always admonish them anew to be extremely active and not to let themselves be disconcerted by disparaging words of fellow human beings, for it concerns the highest, it concerns the soul’s fate in eternity. Whoever seriously keeps this in mind will also pay more attention to the announcements, and they will not remain without success. (29.8.1947) But in order to be able to receive the announcements, the recipient must first believe that they come from above. If this belief is missing, then it is also not possible for beings of light to intervene in the thoughts of the receiver. And then the fellow human being is also inclined to believe in human influence and rejects it. Faith in My working in the human being through My spirit is absolutely necessary in order to receive such a gift of grace from Me. And therefore, it will be rare that I can express Myself in this way, despite people’s will to live in My will and despite faith in Me, My love, omnipotence and wisdom. For only faith causes the human being to listen inwards, and then he can hear the inner voice if he is sensitive, i.e. if he can interpret every sensation. For hearing the inner voice is a refined feeling and likewise a necessity, for establishing a connection from the earthly to the spiritual kingdom requires thoughts turned towards the spiritual kingdom which, however, must be paired with the firm will to serve God. Both of these factors provide the human being with refined sensitivity, and only through this is it possible to hear My voice. Yet the time to come is so difficult and will make people of little faith waver. But I give every person the opportunity (30.8.1947) to take note of the eternal truth and therefore not only speak directly but through mediators to all people, thus they receive the same, so to speak, as the servants on earth who are directly taught by Me, only that I speak to them through their mouth in order to eliminate a compulsion of faith in those who are still weak in faith. For the word spoken by Me must be offered to them in such a way that they can accept it of their own free will or also reject it. And therefore I also reserve the method of transmission for Myself by also putting the words into My servants’ mouths in a way which is most helpful to their fellow human beings in order to stimulate them to think. And therefore the conversations will also take the course which I deem favourable, i.e. My servants will speak as it is My will, if they speak up for My word, if they work for Me, thus if they have conversations within the scope of the spiritual. Where the human being is sensitive, he has to be touched if the words are not to remain without impression, and where he is in erroneous thinking the battle has to start, for error has to be fought first, and this cannot be achieved with tolerance, with consideration for old tradition. Anyone who fights for Me must fight with the sword of his mouth, he must not become unfaithful to Me for the sake of people; My word must be more important to him than the affection of a person whose life or views contradict My word. And therefore I choose fearless, intrepid fighters on earth who uncover the slightest contradiction against My word, who eagerly speak up for everything they have heard through the inner voice, who, once they have recognised My truth, give it up no more and use every opportunity to spread it. And their work will be blessed …. However, the extent to which it is successful for fellow human beings is entirely up to their will and desire for truth. For their will is free …. I want to help people recognise the truth and offer it to them, however, I do not coerce them to accept it but give them their freedom ….

Amen

I call to My Own: Prepare yourselves and consider that you will soon be called back and need to proceed with the work for which I have hired you. The days are counted and only a few are still granted to you. Then the truth of My Word will be proven to you and you will become strong in faith. However, until then you will still be subject to many different internal as well as external problems, so that you will join Me increasingly more sincerely and I can grant you the strength which will enable you to stand up to all opposition and become willing labourers for Me. I persistently urge you to work diligently at improving your soul, for I know how important it is that you don’t become half-hearted. I Myself Am with you and, time and again, direct your thoughts to the spiritual kingdom, I motivate you to seek contact with it and send messengers from the kingdom of light to meet you, who will always instruct you according to your understanding. And I Myself will enlighten you about anything you desire to know. It is not My will that you should be troubled by doubts, hence I want to dispel them by conveying the pure truth to you; so once you are enlightened and convinced that you possess the truth, it will be easy to work for Me, for then you will also advocate what I teach through My spirit within the person. And this speaks in you as I Myself would speak to you were I among you. Consequently, you can always ask Me questions and the right answer will come to you. For as soon as you are called, you must defer your earthly task and first comply with My request through the inner voice. First of all, I want to remove any doubt that still burdens you and that you shall discard. I want to answer your questions even if you don’t ask them out loud, for I Am aware of your most secret thoughts, of your strength of will and your faith:

Firstly, keep to My Word which is offered to you from above. This Word comes from Me directly or is offered to you through beings of light, which only comply with My will and educate you according to My instructions. The man Jesus taught in the same way on earth, for He was also a being of light and spoke to people on My behalf, thus likewise according to My will. Hence, His Word was the same Word that came forth from Me and therefore He could rightfully say ‘Anyone who hears Me hears the Father, for the Father and I are One ….’ My voice sounded in Him, My strength was active in Him and My spirit completely filled the man Jesus, Who, thus permeated by Me, was completely united with Me. And this complete unity was the result of an exemplary life of love, a life of selfless neighbourly love, as I demand of all people who want to become perfect. A life of love therefore results in total unity with Me and this, in turn, the mediation of My Word, the emanation of Myself …. I Am the Word, therefore the Word is God …. Receiving and accepting the Word is spiritual nourishment …. It is the bread from heaven which is offered by Me Myself to someone who is hungry and thirsty for it. And when I offer people the bread from heaven I say ‘Take this and eat, that is My flesh and My blood’, after all, I Myself Am the Word …. flesh and blood in the spiritual sense …. On the occasion of a physical meal, the Supper with My disciples, I tried to explain to them the spiritual meal; I wanted to encourage them to accept spiritual nourishment more often, to enjoy My flesh and My blood in remembrance of Me, since then they would always be able to unite with Me and be full of strength. The fact that I broke the earthly bread and drank actual wine with My disciples at the same time was of no great importance, for My disciples understood My meaning because they were spiritually awakened, they lived a life of love and therefore also understood My figurative comparison. Besides, they were meant to take Me as an example …. they were meant to share all possessions with fellow human beings in need of them …. to feed them physically and spiritually, and I linked it to the promise of giving Myself to them …. they should find unity with Me through distributing everything they possessed and their neighbour lacked in order to receive My Word, through which I reveal Myself to all those who are united with Me through works of love. I did not prevent people from using My Words to create a process which can only be regarded as a purely external one, which can only be said to have been metaphorically carried out if a person has secured My presence first through a life of love, nor will I ever prevent it, so as not to curtail your freedom of will; however, I will always provide people with the right explanation through other spiritually enlightened people, who therefore have the right understanding of My Words and will pass them on. However, without the right understanding they will merely be an insignificant formality which only gains in value if the spiritual meaning is observed, if people hunger and thirst for accepting My Word, if they thus let themselves be nourished by Me with the bread from heaven, with My flesh and My blood, in order to be and forever remain united with Me ….

Amen

I told you that you will witness the destruction of the old earth while still in the flesh and I say it again so that you will believe it. Your faith is weak, and inwardly you refuse to accept the fact that you live in the last days. But My spirit repeatedly tells you that the time of the end is close at hand …. Why don’t you want to believe this? Since, on the other hand, you cannot deny the truth of My revelations? And why do you hope for and expect progress, an improvement of earthly conditions? Why does the thought of an end in combination with a total destruction of the old earth seem unbelievable and unacceptable to you? Because you would gladly continue to live, because you are not yet prepared and do not sufficiently contemplate My Word, which very clearly explains to you the necessity of a total transformation of the old earth and will guide you into profound faith if you, with your will towards Me, absorb and accept every Word as coming from heaven and live accordingly ….

Even you, who should spread My Word, allow yourselves to be troubled by doubt, and therefore do not represent My Word convincingly enough, you allow yourselves to be undermined by objections to the contrary. Your faith is not strong enough, in spite of your good will to serve Me. The reality of life affects you and you find it impossible to reconcile it with the human being’s spiritual destiny. Consequently you don’t support My revelations about the forthcoming time diligently enough. You do not take My Word seriously enough yourselves, hence I always have to give you the same urgent warning of the approaching end again …. You will experience it while you are still in the flesh …. Does that not tell you enough? Do you know what age you will reach? Could it be that you will only live a short time? Only I know which day will be the last and I will keep it a secret, but I will tell you that it is not far away and that you will serve Me until the end …. Consequently you will have to experience the day and should believe it!

You will be good labourers for Me because a convinced faith also lets you speak convincingly. I need servants like you on earth who will strongly urge and vividly describe to people the need for My working on earth and the spiritual hardship humanity will experience if it does not receive help. You receive My Word and are therefore already advanced in knowledge …. and yet you do not want to believe although you will not reject or oppose it ….

For this reason I speak to you all the more insistently, because profound faith is necessary if your words are to make an impact on your fellow human beings. When you yourselves are convinced that what you hear through the voice of the spirit is the absolute truth, then you are true representatives of My Word on earth, and then you lend Me your mouth so that I can speak through it Myself. Your task during the approaching time is to be My mouthpiece because I cannot reveal Myself to people in any other way, but it is absolutely necessary that they should hear Me Myself, although they are not always able to recognise My voice. The extreme difficulties of the last days will come upon people with such severity that they would have to despair without My help, without My Word. But if I speak to them Myself they will be strong and able to resist even the greatest adversity because My Words will have given them strength. Hence you should render your services, because people have to be influenced without force, and because I Myself will always be present when you, as mediators, engage people in spiritual conversations and thus establish the connection between Me and the people who are to be instructed, who urgently need My Word if they want to endure until the end. And the end is coming soon …. I call to you time and time again; you should believe My Words and with complete trust approach the future, which will unfold as I told you well in advance in Word and Scripture ….

Amen

Excessive suffering is an exceptional grace, even if you find this incomprehensible; for My love does not want to let you humans slide into the delirium of the world and confronts some of you with hours of starkest adversity in order to bring you back to your senses, or the soul would remain empty-handed and not progress in its spiritual development. Suffering must always be considered as a means to render the human being helpless and make him aware of his weakness, and as soon as the suffering has contributed towards the fact that the soul turns to Me, that it appeals to Me for help and humbly entrusts itself to Me, it is a great blessing and should therefore be viewed as a gift of grace. For suffering leads to Me, whereas the joys of the world as well as all earthly pleasures will achieve the opposite. Suffering motivates people to pray, without prayer it is impossible to make contact with Me. Without prayer you cannot be given the gift of grace, because prayer expresses the will and the longing for Me and thus enables Me to meet the human being and, as fulfilment of his prayer, give to him what he needs.

If, however, the human being is spared suffering, the body will continue to reject the spirit when it wants to communicate with the soul in order to give the person the right guidance and instruction. But it is absolutely essential for spiritual progress, for reaching a high degree of maturity, that the soul be instructed by the spirit and that the soul will thus unite with the spirit. For this purpose I must absolutely grant help to the soul with My strength and therefore must first be asked for it, because the human being’s will is decisive and suffering impels its decision. Suffering can also harden a human heart, in which case the person will drift away and no longer strive for ascent, and then there is no other means that would be more successful. But as a rule suffering leads to Me, generally a human being perfects himself through suffering and then it has fulfilled its purpose. Subsequently, you should be grateful for it and also acknowledge it as a grace; for earthly suffering is not a permanent condition and extremely beneficial, providing you want to mature. Then you will be eternally thankful to Me, and in the state of realisation earthly life will be easier for you to understand and you will also be able to cope during the time of great need, for then you will not live your life alone but with Me, because you will open yourselves to Me in prayer and thus receive strength which you, in turn, can use after your own will and with certainty will use for your spiritual ascent, as you are destined to do ….

Amen

All proclamations originate from Me as soon as they are audible as the voice of the spirit after heartfelt prayer. Hence it would be absurd to assume that I could ever contradict Myself, and therefore it is imperative to attach value to every manifestation, and thus its meaning will also be easier to understand …. I provide you with spiritual attendants on earth, and I also give them the right to influence your earthly life insofar as that they guide you on your earthly paths, that they direct and arrange your destiny according to My will. And thus your earthly life will always unfold in such a way as is helpful for your spiritual maturing. It is hardly possible to speak of complete fulfilment on earth, because then the maturing would be questionable. Rather, constant struggles must take place through which the human being who is serious about his spiritual ascent can mature. But as soon as this is striven for and the danger no longer exists that the human being will lose himself to the world again, they will also take earthly wishes into account because this is My will; and even then spiritual upward development is guaranteed, although earthly happiness concurs to spiritual work. But then it is My will which the spiritual attendants carry out, and then the human being can calmly enjoy his earthly luck, it will not cause him any spiritual disadvantage, as long as the human being’s prayer always is: Father, Thy will be done …. An overly strong desire can certainly influence the human being’s spiritual work so that it is carried out less eagerly, yet then the spiritual attendants will be active accordingly in order to put limits on the desire, i.e. they shape life in form of destiny and determine the human being’s renunciation, yet never in a coercive way but only through mental influence in order to dissuade him from the overly strong desire and, if he is devoted to My will, to shower My gift of grace upon him again. Yet a child striving towards Me is exceedingly dear to Me and will be faithfully protected by Me until the end …. And I will also listen to its every request, I will take care of all its wishes and already grant it luck and joy on earth if only it longs for Me and does not exclude Me from its desire, if it approaches Me with love and trustingly presents every request to Me. For My love is always willing to give and bestows a state of bliss and peace upon My Own on earth as well ….

Amen

Anyone who loves Me also recognises My voice and will obey it. But to anyone who loves the world My voice is alien, for it does not sound as he desires. And for this reason, My voice from above will not be heeded either, because only a few people turn away from the world but most are still slaves to the world and thus unable to recognise My voice. And yet, I also express Myself to them in order to have them wondering. For there are only very few where you, My servants on earth, will be successful, (10.9.1947) because people completely lack the belief that I speak to people on earth in a form which manifests My love for them. It is only My great love for My living creations which causes Me to reveal Myself because they are in great distress and I want to help them; because I do not want to influence them in a coercive way, otherwise I would speak audibly from above in a way that they would have to recognise Me. I want to be recognised but the will to do so has to originate from My living creations themselves. Then I will so obviously approach them that it will be easy for them to believe in Me and to love Me. And then the right relationship between My living creations and Me will also have been established, the relationship of a child to its father …. then I will be able to seize it and take it into My special care, I will be able to give it what it needs and I will be able to induct it to the truth, and this will be recognised as originating from Me and find complete faith. And anyone who has once recognised My voice will be a willing servant to Me, for he is happy to be able to serve Me because he loves Me. And thus love and the gift of recognition will always be together. Only someone who feels love for Me will be able to recognise the divine origin in My word, in My gift of grace from above, and therefore accept it as a revelation which is certainly addressed to all people but which requires the will for truth before it has an effect on people. They will experience the blessing of My voice in themselves, they will be happy on earth already and will never be able to weaken, for anyone who receives a gift of grace from Me Myself is My child whom I always want to help to gain strength so that it will not live weakly through earthly life and can fulfil its purpose of earthly life ….

Amen

And in every spiritual adversity I am close to it and strengthen and comfort it, I remedy every earthly adversity as soon as it is helpful for its soul. But it will always hear My voice if it listens within and wants to hear Me. For as a loving father I am always anxious to make My child happy in the form of My word which expresses My profound love. And thus I will also enable My children, who strive towards Me with love, to hear My word and they will recognise it as the father’s voice …. And My Own can be recognised by this again, that My gift of grace, My word, is exceedingly dear to them, that they do not want to miss it any more once they have heard Me, and that they gratefully receive it from My servants who are mediators from Me to them. For all of them are taught by My spirit, I can work in all of them, even if in different ways. Anyone who loves Me fulfils My commandments, and anyone who fulfils My commandments draws Me close to him and I can reveal Myself to him. But My revelation is the most precious gift of grace a person can receive on earth. I Myself communicate with him, I speak to him, I instruct him and never ever let him go, and thus I will enter his heart, I will take abode with him and unite Myself with him …. I will fill him with My spirit, with My strength, and the connection with Me already means bliss on earth and one day in eternity ….

Amen

And thus walk your path together until the end, under My guidance, with the assurance of My help in all situations of life, in every earthly and spiritual adversity and especially in your spiritual work, which is now to be the purpose and aim of your union. And do not let any doubts arise in you as to the truthfulness of what is conveyed to you through the voice of the spirit, for your strength and the certain success of your spiritual work lies in profound undoubted faith. Whatever you start, consult Me, do not live your life without Me, let Me be your daily companion and ask Me for My blessing …. And I will never leave you, I will look after you, give you information where it is necessary and always be a wise and loving advisor to you, a friend and brother and an exceedingly good father to Whom you can entrust yourselves without limits. And if you now know about My will, then follow it, do not miss the time which remains for you to work for Me and My kingdom, and consider that you must be united before I usher in the end with My intervention; for this will be followed by a time which is very difficult for everyone in which you must already work if you want to be successful. And this unity must have taken place inwardly as well as outwardly for the world, which will then also become fully understandable to you. You do not yet know what is coming, but I know of your fate, of your situation in life and therefore also know what is necessary for you to be able to fulfil your task for which I have chosen you. For time is short and every hour is precious. Therefore use it and follow My advice …. Unite closely and be sure of My blessing, which accompanies you on all your paths ….

Amen

A teaching post can only be administered by people who are prepared to acquire the necessary knowledge, otherwise they can never work as teachers. It is extremely important that these teachers are instructed by people who are really knowledgeable, i.e., the teacher must know the truth himself, he must have knowledge at his disposal which enables him to pass it on, and therefore it is understandable that the highest knowledge, divine truth, must first have divine origin, that the recipient of this knowledge is therefore truthfully instructed, because the origin, God, is the eternal truth Himself, that God Himself is therefore to be regarded as the teacher and therefore those who spread the divine truth must also be taught by God if they want to teach again on earth amongst people. He will also always choose the people Himself who are active on His behalf and spread the gospel throughout the world, and He will know how to prevent His disciples from receiving wrong knowledge or the pure truth from being presented to them in an incomprehensible way. Furthermore, He will also protect the teachers chosen by Him from erroneous thinking or erroneous whisperings of bad forces, but conversely, He will also instruct the beings of light, i.e. knowing forces, to spiritually influence the people who are to preside over the teaching ministry one day. And these beings of light can again only distribute the pure truth from God because they only fulfil God’s will and, as beings of light, constantly receive knowledge and can utilise it. But once a person has been appointed to the teaching ministry God will never ever let him go, after all, the appointment by God only took place after the human being’s voluntary surrender to Him, after subordinating his will to divine will, and thus the striving towards God was shown so obviously that God will never ever let him sink back into the state of separation from Him. He seizes the voluntarily returning to Him and now takes it into His constant care as His own. And He entrusts it with a task …. to work for Him on earth and to be active in spreading the divine truth. So the first thing He does is to instruct the human being according to his task …. He trains him as a teacher, He gives him the knowledge which he should then pass on to his fellow human beings so that they will become free from error and acquire the pure truth from God. But anyone who is taught by God must inevitably also be recognised as a teacher, even though he lacks worldly studies and has never been taught by people. The right knowledge must come from God Himself. But it can be passed on and then conveyed to fellow human beings, who can certainly also deform the pure truth if their will strives for such. God does not prevent this, but He will always convey the pure truth directly to earth again, and this in an obvious way as soon as a person is willing to let himself be instructed by Him. For His will is always and constantly that the truth shall be spread, and thus He chooses His servants on earth who shall spread the gospel throughout the world ….

Amen

Anyone who has the ability to receive the word directly from God, i.e. who succeeds in concentrating so that he is able to hear the extremely delicate voice of the spirit, will understandably be able to achieve a higher maturity of soul through this gift of grace if he has the serious will to do so. But he will have to struggle and fight all the more, he will have to compensate for his spiritual advantage in a certain respect through difficult life situations, through spiritual hardship and earthly difficulties, in order to rightfully earn the gifts of grace, thus he must, so to speak, acquire the spiritual good, which secures him a faster ascent, and withstand the struggle for it, otherwise it would be an unequal distribution of ascent opportunities from God. Every person is offered by God what is useful for the maturity of his soul. And one person needs less, the other more resistance at which he is to mature, yet the aim, perfection on earth, can be reached by every person because gifts of grace are allocated according to the will. If the will is good, i.e., if it seriously strives towards God, then its path of life will be an uninterrupted chain of receiving grace, and the temptations by the world, the onslaughts from outside, will also be less. But a soul that does not have to fight becomes lukewarm and indifferent and does not mature, but remains stagnant on its stage of development. And this is what God wants to prevent, and therefore He tries to encourage the recipient of spiritual gifts to detach himself from all earthly things and to only work spiritually, He tries to increase the desire for the latter, but He also presents the world with its attractions to the human being and lets him test himself against it. He constantly leads him by the hand over paths which are stony and thorny, He guides him and His guidance is truly the right one, even though the human being cannot understand why burdens are sometimes imposed on him which seem almost unbearable to him. Through constant inner struggle the human being makes himself receptive for the divine word as well as for the influx of strength, for adversity drives him to God, to the father, and the connection with the father through heartfelt dialogue is always successful, for God never dismisses a child calling upon Him without strengthening it. What is offered to man from the hand of God is always precious and must be utilised accordingly. God knows of everything that is still hidden from people, He also knows what is helpful for those who receive His word, He will help where help is needed, He will ease the pressure which weighs them down when the time comes and He will bless everything that contributes to a person’s inner development. The firm bond with God is the human being’s first and last aim, for the sake of which the individual’s life will often be more difficult but will immediately be relieved when the purpose is fulfilled, when the human being has entered into contact with God through heartfelt prayer or by trustingly submitting all needs and worries to the heavenly father. Then His fatherly love will be revealed again, the sun will break through cloudy skies, it will be a bright and cheerful day when the soul revives and is willing to serve God again and engages in its spiritual work with great zeal and thereby serves Him as a faithful labourer in His vineyard ….

Amen

And this shall become your certainty that My gift of grace can never be distorted by you as long as you are so united with Me that the reception of My word is the result of heartfelt prayer, that you ask Me for spiritual enlightenment and trustingly approach Me, asking for My support in earthly and spiritual adversity. The appeal to your father in heaven protects you from erroneous thoughts, from misrepresenting what you have received and from a lack of understanding of what My spirit imparts to you. You can confidently make My word your own, you can advocate it as purest truth and make it the guiding principle of your daily life, you need not fear that I allow misguidance through evil forces, just as you must never assume that I indifferently face earthly hardship and leave you in it, for this would call My great love for you into question. But I only want your happiness and My word shall help you to live a blissful life. Through My word I will never mislead a person but I will try to lead a misguided person to the truth, and thus My word must be truth. And the fact that it is My word is evident from the fact that I only ever admonish you to love, because if you follow My admonitions you will also realise clearly and brightly that you can only have contact with spirits of light, because love never wants to harm or allows harm. If you practise active neighbourly love yourselves then you will also be fully convinced of the originator of the spiritual transmission and there will no longer be any doubt in you. For who should admonish you to love if not He Who is love Himself? You can certainly make a distinction between spiritual and earthly announcements but never consider the latter impossible as long as I, as your guide and advisor, have also taken charge of your earthly life and thus instruct you spiritually what you should and should not do. I have also promised you My earthly help, and since I want you to approach the father like children with all your concerns and needs I will also answer you like a loving father and help you where My help is required. And therefore do not doubt the truth of My word but accept everything as given by Me and comply with it, and you will live according to My will, you will not take wrong paths but constantly be guided by Me until the end of your life ….

Amen

A strict judgment will be held at the end of times, that is, there will come a time when the composition of earth can no longer be called earthly matter, but when all material substances will have spiritualised themselves, so that even the earth will have become a spiritual creation like many others in the universe, each of which, however, lays claim to be a place of education for the spirit. And earth will remain such a place of education for the spirit, only that its creations as well as its inhabitants can be called spiritualised, that the living beings’ life will proceed under different conditions and even their task cannot be compared to their present one. Earth, too, will have to go through such an era after an endlessly long period of time, and it is this era Jesus spoke about to His listeners on earth.

Every material creation has to take this path of development, that is, it is only condemned matter in the beginning and, after an infinitely long time, after eternities which people will never be able to assess, it elevates itself to a completely different level; it increasingly spiritualises itself and can finally only be referred to as a spiritual creation. Yet these are immeasurably long periods of time, because all banished spirits first have to take this earthly material path so that matter will then have been completely overcome. Consequently, an endlessly long time will still have to pass until the complete spiritualization of earth has occurred. And this duration of time is comprised of individual phases of development again; each one on its own will be regarded as an eternity by as yet unenlightened people, because many generations will have to accomplish their full maturity during one such phase in order to attain a specific degree of maturity which then is comparable to the spiritualization on earth. Every stage begins with spiritually highly mature people and ends with people whose inclination to the abyss is so strong that it will be fulfilled, that they will be banished again into the creations of the succeeding new earth. These phases of development are in fact by human standards also infinitely long but they will always come to an end one day, and time and again an era of development will start anew. Yet at the end of times the spiritualization of the once material creation will proceed ever faster, and the tests of will, which happen in every period, can become increasingly less, because all living creations will then feel the same …. they will all desire to behold the countenance of God and therefore strive ever more sincerely towards God, or they have already been too far removed from God by the adverse power as to be able to return to God. And this is why they later, in spiritual creations, have to stay as spirits in places to which they are drawn and this is the harshest punishment which can come upon God opposing spirits since it is, after all, a state of complete blindness, a state of servitude, where helping only takes place against the servant’s will, yet the person is unable to take any other path but to be of constant service until he surrenders his resistance.

This, too, is a divine law, that every occurrence takes place on a small scale and then repeats itself in infinitely diverse variations …. Jesus foresaw the end of this time, but you humans are only able to look forward to times which allow for humanly possible events …. All of you only take one Judgment Day into account …. But this will keep repeating itself as long as periods of Salvation find their conclusion in accordance with divine will …. Every judgment will end with the condemnation of the adversary’s adherents and an admission into the spheres of light of those who remained faithful to God even in utmost adversity. And thus the Last Judgment will also result in the total destruction of all matter, but a completely spiritual new earth will arise, if only after such an endlessly long time that it need not be mentioned so as not to give people a false sense of security by proclaiming a new period of development in which they, in their opinion, would be able to make up for their neglect.

The judgment which separates one period of Salvation from the succeeding one will come irrevocably soon …. This shall be proclaimed by seers and prophets who are called by God and whom He informs Himself through His spirit, for it is necessary for the whole of humanity to face up to the approaching end, to change their way of life and to improve their souls, for the time left to humanity as a final gift of grace will pass quickly …. Soon the final hour will arrive and with it the Judgment which will carry out a complete separation of the pure from the impure ….

Amen
