A time of anxious misery and suffering lies before you and you can regard the time prior to this, the time in which you presently live, as the calm before the storm, during which you can still live your life within the scope of tradition, during which you can still speak of a certain extent of prosperity compared to the poverty and the deprivation which await you afterwards. And yet it will be a time of grace, a time when I will be clearly recognisable, when life will only be bearable if you deeply unite yourselves with Me in your thoughts, since then you will never be alone but will always be able to have Me as your protection. And I will also manifestly reveal Myself to you, I will approach individual people in the shape of the One Who harboured Me in all fullness within Himself. And I will be recognised wherever people’s love for Me is strong, even if I dwell as a human being amongst people, for My eyes will tell them who I AM, and their hearts will come aglow with such burning love for Me as they would never be able to offer to a fellow human being. I will come to meet them with ardent love, I will illuminate them where they lack knowledge and comfort them in hours of distress and they will be able to overcome the most difficult situations and not despair, for they will sense My help, and wherever I visibly approach them they will be full of strength and profound faith. And once this fills a human heart no oppressive adversity will be able to exist anymore, for then they will only utterly rely on Me and I will truly not disappoint their faith. Yet anyone who lives without Me will hardly be able to endure this time. I cannot leave him in his spiritual adversity and will therefore have to sorely strike him with earthly adversity until his opposition against Me slackens, until he starts to believe and expects help from Me ….

Thus all of you will be subjected to anxious distress and suffering through which I want to win you over completely. Nevertheless, you also have abundant strength and grace at your disposal which will help you to gain Me. I only want your love and once I own it I will come to meet you …. in the last days even visibly in order to strengthen your and other people’s faith, because you are in need of extraordinary strengthening and consolation. Consequently, you won’t need to fear the difficult time ahead of you either, for you will survive it with My help. Nevertheless, it will remain a time of grace, and the yoke I impose upon you will be an easy one if only you make correct use of the gift of grace. To be allowed to behold Me with your physical eyes is truly worth the cross you will have to bear until the end. Yet I will also offer Myself as a bearer of the cross to those who take refuge in Me and appeal to Me for My help …. And for their sake I will shorten the days until the end. I know every individual person’s problems, and those who are faithful to Me are My true children who will really not call upon Me in vain for help. Therefore don’t let My announcement frighten you, approach the coming events determinedly and calmly, detach yourselves from the world and wait for Me …. And I will come …. at first appearing to individual people, in order to then fetch My Own into My kingdom …. in order to lead them away from the place of perdition into to the kingdom of peace, where their life will be as blissful as in paradise ….

Amen

Take up your cross and follow Me …. And I will walk beside you and help you carry it, for My love will not let you suffer where it can take away your suffering without harming your soul. But if the cross weighs you down, then know that this is necessary for your soul’s maturity …. And bear in mind that I know about your spiritual adversity and try to remedy it first, for the soul is in greater danger than the body when the hour of death has come. Consider that all adversity will end with the end of this earth and that this end is not far away. And therefore try to shape yourselves such that your stay in spheres of light will be assured, that you will gladly give up your earthly body and exchange it for a life in the beyond in complete freedom, if you have passed the test of will on earth. And this life will compensate you for everything you have suffered on earth and you will never desire this earth again. And the more suffering weighs you down the sooner you will have to (be allowed to?) give up earthly life and yet be purified for the spiritual kingdom. And you will thank Me eternally that I let you suffer for your own sake. Nevertheless, I give you comfort that your suffering can be averted through heartfelt prayer to Me, that I will take it away from you if you trustingly come to the father like children. Then I will lovingly take care of you and carry the cross for you, i.e. I will find a solution which is equal to a reduction of the hardship …. I lighten your cross so that it no longer weighs so heavily on you, and you will be able to carry it because you draw the strength for it from Me. “My yoke is easy and My burden is light…” I Myself gave you this word. Do you want to doubt its truth? Therefore always believe that every cross is bearable for you if only you carry every burden with your eyes turned towards Me, and if it seems heavy to you, consider it a sign of My love for you, for I want to make My kingdom accessible to those I let suffer without guilt already on earth, because I know about their direction of will, about their activity of love on earth and about their state of soul, which I want to elevate. And therefore patiently accept all suffering, it is only imposed on you for your own good, and you will never reach your aim in the same time if you are spared suffering, if you are not burdened with a cross, if earthly life gives you fulfilment of all your wishes and much more. And if you know of My word that it is a sign of My great love for you, if you get into earthly adversity which almost makes you despair of life, then do not complain and grumble but surrender to your fate and think that your father in heaven truly does not burden His children with suffering if it would not bear far greater blessings for your soul, the maturing of which is the aim of every human being on earth ….

Amen

Love has to come alight in you if you want to be united with Me. Only he who remains in love remains in Me and I in him. And thus you must feel impelled by your heart to give love to your fellow human being, to make him happy and gain his affection, you have to be in constant harmony with him, you have to be a friend and brother to your neighbour, you have to share joy and suffering with him and always endeavour to ease his fate on earth, and you must always be willing to guide him correctly in spiritual matters, because the most important and most pleasing activity of love is to save or benefit his soul. If you are impelled by love, that is, if you feel urged from deep within yourselves to carry out works of love, I Am closely united with you, for the feeling of love already shows that I Am taking possession of you, it is an overflowing of My strength of love to you, which is the result of your will turning towards good, thus an unconscious turning towards Me.

I can certainly draw all of you to My heart, I can instantly kindle love in you and in that case win all of you over for Myself, if I wanted to do so …. however, in that case I would have no living creations as My image but only judged beings without free will as a sign of their divinity. But I want to work and create with perfect beings, I want to give them ultimate happiness because My love for them is infinitely profound, and I can only do so if they have reached a particular degree which people should and can reach on earth. And this is why I must constantly admonish you to be eagerly active in love, because I want to be united with you in order to be able to work in all fullness within you and thus increase the strength of your love, so that you become divine beings yourselves, as was your destiny in the very beginning.

I want to be as one with you yet you must accomplish this merger of your own free will …. And this is why you have to practise love yourselves, you must constantly make an effort to do good works, you must change your feelings if they have not yet come alight as love within you, you must want to be good then you will also be able to become it, for I will bless such a will and give you strength to implement it. You must want to be united with Me and I will come to you and take possession of you with the intention of never letting go of you or allowing you to separate yourselves from Me again. For My love is so profound that it will not rest until total unification has taken place, because this was the original state, because My living creations came forth from Me, because they are strength from Me which inevitably has to return to Me again ….

Amen

The people who will survive My intervention, the raging of the elements of nature, will still be faced by indescribable chaos, and no-one will have the strength to be active in a constructive way apart from My Own who can constantly draw strength from their bond with Me. They will also master the most difficult living conditions, they will achieve great things because they will obviously be helped by extraordinary activity on My part, for their profound faith in Me allows for such activity. And they will find a field of work of far-reaching proportions …. There will be people everywhere who are left helpless in the world and unable to cope with the difficult circumstances. And to bring them to faith in Me and My love, to give them a faint recognition of truth, to stimulate them to active neighbourly love and thus to inform them of My word, that will be the task in the coming time of suffering, which you can well fulfil if you want to be efficient labourers for Me and work for Me and My kingdom. But then you will also have to go through the time of suffering yourselves, I cannot keep hardship and misery from you where the whole of humanity is affected by it, instead I have to confine Myself to filling you with strength so that you will survive the time of adversity. But this requires a constant relationship with Me, deepest faith and love for your neighbour. Then you can act as teachers for Me, and you yourselves will be guided as My will and My wisdom have determined since eternity. And for this reason, you should speak everywhere where it is possible, for what I once say will come true to the sorrow of countless souls which are still very far from Me and to the joy of those who have found their way to Me. You shall bring them the gospel, you shall inform them of the time of grace until the end, of My activity of an extraordinary kind and of the great spiritual success of the fulfilment of My will, which I make known to people through you. You shall instruct them of the effect of a life of love, of the consequences of right thinking and acting. And if you succeed in making them believers, in winning them over for My teaching, you will have worked successfully for Me and you yourselves will be blessed in a spiritual as well as earthly way and thus already be rewarded on earth through the bestowal of extraordinary blessings during the extremely difficult situation of life in the last days …. (24.9.1947) You will have neither earthly nor spiritual shortage, you will be able to work for My kingdom filled with strength, you will withstand all temptations and also be able to stand your ground to the world, you will be courageous and confident and by no means bow down to the measures of those who are hostile towards Me, and you will always and constantly receive My word, and this will be the greatest gift of grace which will make you endure the days until the end. For you will feel Me, you will be aware of My presence and thereby exceedingly happy, because I will also show Myself to you if increased strength is required for you. And therefore you, who are Mine, will also endure the last and most difficult days and patiently persevere until I come to fetch you into My kingdom. Yet they will weigh unspeakably heavy on those who have no faith in Me and who therefore have fallen prey to My adversary beyond all hope. For a terrible end awaits them …. They will remain under his control and will be banished anew, so that one day they will be able to be free from his rule, even if it is after an infinitely long time ….

Amen

What stand the human being takes on the spiritual transmissions determines also his capacity for these announcements. And thus two people can receive the same knowledge and yet be touched by it differently. Although the announcements themselves are easy to understand for every spiritually striving person, they are a completely new field for a purely earthly-minded individual. They originate from the spiritual kingdom and also have the spiritual kingdom as their content, thus they also appear improbable to the worldly-minded person, just as everything spiritual seems unreal and therefore implausible to him. A closer explanation will also not be successful for him. He cannot grasp it because he also does not want to delve into an area which touches him (26.9.1947) terribly. For his soul rejects everything that goes beyond its cognitive faculties. It rejects it as completely contradictory to its state, it does not want to submit itself to demands which are contrary to its will. But a worldly-directed soul’s will is always turned towards matter, and spiritual striving is not appealing to it but obstructive to its worldly interests. Its aim is earthly goods and therefore it neither desires nor utilises spiritual goods if they are offered to it without desire. And therefore, understanding can rarely be expected from a worldly-minded person unless the world disappoints him to such an extent that the soul then seeks a substitute, namely instinctively where imperishable goods are handed out. Such a change of heart can occur after earthly failures, after tribulation and great earthly hardship, which would then have fulfilled a high purpose for which the soul, after realising it, is extremely grateful to its creator. Yet it must in free will seek contact with the spiritual kingdom through reflection or continued activity of love, then it will also have understanding for the announcements from on high, and its powers of judgment will also correspond to its desire for truth, it will mature in realisation, it will receive a treasure of spiritual knowledge, it will never ever want to miss it and endeavour to fulfil God’s will and thus live in divine order …. But then it has also already become an aspirant of the spiritual kingdom from where knowledge is imparted to it. It has become a bearer of truth, a receiver of light, and it can now distribute truth, it can let the light shine …. i.e., the human being can make use of his knowledge and instruct others who are ignorant, he can work for the kingdom of God …. But only that human being can be addressed as a worker for the kingdom of God who is in contact with the spiritual kingdom, i.e. who has received the knowledge from on high, or to whom it was conveyed by fellow human beings, and the beings of light must have had such an effect on him that it has fully become his intellectual property. He must not only have listened to it with his ears but his heart and intellect must have become active after receiving spiritual knowledge, only then will it have brought him realisation, and only then will spiritual gifts …. announcements of spiritual content …. be utilised correctly and ensure the human being’s spiritual ascent …. an increased degree of maturity of his soul ….

Amen

Even the sense of justice is subject to a law. It can certainly be increased many times over, nevertheless, in cases relating to equal rights it has to be limited. For it always has to be taken into consideration that both giving as well as taking are first subject to the commandment of love. Giving is determined by love, insofar that love has to be the driving force of giving, and thus every gift has to awaken love in the recipient. For love is the fundamental substance of everything that is visible to the human being, just as it must incessantly flow to all works of creation if they are to continue to exist. Consequently, it requires the strength of love if the offering is to awaken love in return and increase the strength in itself. Giving is the evidence of love, but the receiving can take place without love, in which case it will remain appropriately ineffective unless the recipient is voluntarily partaking of the spiritual gifts from above which lead upwards again. Earthly gifts can only have an earthly effect, that is, the giving part has to take into account that his gift will indeed be accepted yet not valued differently than a matter of fact and therefore awakens little or no love in return, which would be classed as a spiritual failure. In that case, only the giver’s will is of importance but not the act itself. The degree of love which urges a person to give is always the decisive factor, this is why giving cannot be generalised, since the degree of love is not always and towards all people the same; rather, the human being has to exercise firm self-criticism, otherwise he will regard actions as deeds of love which are merely the results of education or habits and thus lack the driving force of love for a another person. The latter conduct of people is doubtlessly commendable and therefore should not stop; nevertheless, every act carried out by love has eternal value, because it results in the soul’s higher maturity. Actions of love increase humanity’s spiritual state on earth, actions of justice can certainly go hand in hand with love yet are generally only driven by the feeling of formal thoughtfulness, which can be automatically carried out without the heart being involved and therefore does not follow the person as a deed of love into eternity.

Just thinking and just conduct is expected of people, for the contrary has detrimental effects on fellow human beings and is therefore unkindness; it is a violation of the commandment of love. Consequently, just thinking and just conduct can be regarded as the fulfilment of the commandment of love …. But justice should not always be understood as equal rights …. because a demand for absolute equality cannot always and by all people be made …. For even here, laws apply which are subject to divine will. The human being should certainly take care not to value himself too highly either way, thus he should not lay claim to more than he is willing to give, he should give to another person what he himself deems desirable, yet this will has to remain free, it must not be forcibly aimed in one direction which, however, is the case when the reason for giving is an acquired formality that a person complies with. Hence you should seriously examine which feeling prompts you to put your will to give into practise. Don’t be satisfied with a correct act which lacks all warmth but follow the urging of your heart, then you will be governed by love and every thought, intention and action will be good. However, in cases of emergency you should act fairly, when not just one person relies on your help but when it is needed everywhere. Don’t deny it to one person while you give it to the other but make an effort to distribute and judge fairly. Give pleasure where you can and don’t try to keep an anxious limit, for this stifles love, it does not awaken mutual love, and where love is lacking there is no spiritual progress, even if you have effectively created earthly order, yet divine order must be fulfilled first, and according to divine law love comes first. Where it is observed all other good qualities will follow, and this includes justice as well ….

Amen

Anyone who does not bow down to My will will also hardly inherit My kingdom, for he can never enter into complete union with Me as My child. However, it is every person’s own business what stand he takes towards Me and My will, thus towards My commandments, and therefore he will neither be forced nor prevented from performing actions which prove his direction of will. He can freely decide upwards or downwards, yet he is responsible for his decision because knowledge of My will was conveyed to him beforehand, which he should respect first. And My will is made known to you through My word, which you can hear loudly and clearly directly, offered by My never-ending love to people who have profound faith in Me and My might. I can express Myself to them and yet only within the scope of the natural so as not to infringe the freedom of will. Yet I give people proof of the truth of My word by giving them the opportunity to inform themselves beforehand of events which take place in nature according to prediction. I speak through a human being to the entire environment …. Anyone who listens to Me has gained much, for what I promise a person will truly come true …. Anyone who listens to Me cannot get lost, he is in contact with the spiritual kingdom and will never ever remain without guidance from the beings of light …. anyone who listens to My word …. however, not only with his ears but also accepts it with his heart and follows it. And if he now complies with it he fulfils My will, he bows to the law of love, the fulfilment of which I demand as the only and first thing because eternal beatitude depends on it, the complete uniting with Me and the complete transformation of your being into love. Everything the human being does to fulfil My will must therefore be dictated by love if it is to be successful for his soul, otherwise it would be a humanly issued commandment without value and effect for eternity. But I pave the way to salvation for you by informing you of My will. Therefore make My will your concern and you will thank Me for all eternity that I make it easy for you to submit yourselves to My will. And believe that I have great power and want to use it for My children, for whom I want to prepare a kingdom in eternity which will open up all glories for them. Believe this and make an effort to do everything that corresponds to My will so that you will be saved ….

Amen

Spiritual communion has to compensate you for what you are denied, for you receive My word as a sign of My love, and you can always draw the strength for renewed loving activity from the connection with Me. It is indeed a renunciation which is not caused by My will, yet it is not detrimental to the soul insofar as that it pushes all the more intimately towards Me and is also seized by My love. For I do not deny Myself to any of My living creations, I draw to Myself what does not resist Me and make happy what hands itself over to Me. And if you therefore receive My word I no longer cover My face but I let it shine and its rays fall into your heart. And they will light up, the fire of love will be ablaze and scatter its sparks in all directions, and they will no longer be able to be extinguished because their embers are too great, it is a fire which has Me as its source, the eternal fire, ardent and everlasting love. And love must therefore awaken everything to life that enters its circuit. Nothing can resist love because this is My will and My plan from eternity also provides for that which brings about the release of love. True love balances and does not refuse, it tolerates and forgives, it gives and makes happy, it shares in the suffering and hardship of the other, but it also sees the highest happiness in union. But anyone who has My word should not lack love, he should only entrust himself to Me and let Me alone rule, and his path through life will be well-organised, he will realise what helps him to attain maturity of soul and never ever doubt My love and grace, which grants him everything and wants to deny nothing ….

Amen

It is immensely important to take care of the spreading of My word at a time when the whole of humanity has reached a spiritual low. No-one takes My word seriously, no-one establishes the right relationship with Me, even those who deem themselves faithful look for Me in the distance, and the few people devoted to Me who have the right living faith are not taken seriously, they are laughed at because of their profound faith and only reluctantly listened to if they stand up for Me and My word in order to bring Me close to them. It is a state which cannot continue, for people live a life without Me even though they keep up appearances and outwardly profess to be united with Me. Yet they do not know Me and therefore cannot be irradiated by My love. They live a life which resembles the state of death …. unawakened spirit, complete spiritual blindness. They do not know what is in store for them, they know nothing of the end time and its manifestations, of the demands which both earthly life and I Myself place on the human being, they know nothing of My love and grace, of My mercy and constant helpfulness …. They live and yet are dead in spirit. And therefore, My word must be conveyed to them wherever possible, the blessing of love must be preached to them, they must know about My will and about their state of soul so that they will start the work of changing their souls, for there is not much time left. Yet only people on earth can provide them with information, and these I instruct Myself and put into their mouths what they should say, just as I always direct their steps towards those who are in need and accessible to My gift of grace from above. For I know of every person’s spiritual condition and take all circumstances into account. Yet if My word is offered to them and they do not accept it, I cannot help them in any other way, for they reject Me Myself with My word. But anyone who wants to receive Me must also take note of My word, otherwise he will not be able to grasp the significance of My presence either. And therefore I constantly hire willing servants on earth, for My word shall become established amongst people of good will. And therefore take every opportunity, you who have offered yourselves to Me as labourers in the vineyard …. do not be afraid to speak of Me and to mention My extraordinary working, present the end to your fellow human beings, the significance of the last days and the last Judgment, and thus work for My kingdom and I will bless you. For this work is so urgent that all other work shall remain unnoticed until the spiritual work has been done. My word is absolute truth, and anyone who follows it need truly not fear death, even though it is close to him in view of the end and the work of destruction which will come as a result of a great shaking of the earth, which is destined for you soon. Take My words seriously, for they will not sound for much longer in order to then be heard from above. But then it will be dreadful, for only few will stand in faith to face this disaster calmly. But I will disturb the whole world in its rest, and it will happen as I have proclaimed …. And you shall prepare people while there is still time, you shall speak as if the next day could already bring the disaster …. Then your speech will not remain without impression, and a few will allow themselves to be advised, they will offer no resistance and thus be seized by Me. And I will reward you for your activity for Me and My kingdom. But the most beautiful reward will be the gratitude of the souls which have found their way back into the father’s house through you ….

Amen

Signs and miracles happen to those who want to belong to Me because I take care of those who entrust themselves to Me in their adversity. I do not stay away from them but hear their call and listen to their pleas. And since I have assured you of My help in spiritual and earthly adversity you shall also obviously experience it, for you, who want to serve Me, shall inform your fellow human beings of My love and care, of My working on you and of the truth of My word. And therefore I also let you run into difficulties from which only My help can rescue you, where there is no other way out than that I take care of you and make the hearts receptive for every gift of grace, which also includes the expression of My will, which I have instructed you to observe for your own sake. There is only a short time left for you to prepare in quiet living together, in spiritual training and shaping of your souls. Then life will once again approach you in all its oppression for a short time, but you will master it. I give you this assurance so that you can adhere to My word, so that you are strong in spirit, set each other up and never ever leave each other. You will be able to do what you want to do because the strength of love is active in you and no longer allows for weakness. And I will tell you the time when your mission will begin. A time of greatest excitement will precede, the world will draw all attention to itself, people will fear the future because they see a fire developing which cannot be easily extinguished. Yet all this has to precede it, otherwise too little attention will be paid to My intervention, for I will emerge when the climax has been reached, when there is no way out but boundless destruction. Then people shall hear Me, and then you will also have to be ready and proclaim Me to all those I lead to you. And then do not hesitate but serve Me, walk the path I mark out for you and work for Me and My kingdom, for time is flying and there are only a few days until the end ….

Amen

Remarkable gifts of grace can be offered to people and they walk past them as if they were everyday occurrences. They can’t be troubled to examine them earnestly, and although they hear what is offered to them as a most precious gift of grace they do not apply it to themselves and, therefore, do not perfect themselves according to My Will. And thus the time of grace will pass without much benefit to them. The end is near. I will make Myself known in every possible way, I will use every means to open their hearts so that I may enter and teach them Myself. Consequently there will be twice as much work in the forthcoming time and My servants should take their task seriously and not deceive themselves by believing that their job is done. This short time before the end requires exceptional assistance on My part and particularly keen activity on the part of My servants on earth, if the souls are to be saved which are in extreme distress. Although it seems that you will not be very successful, since many will reject you, your work will not have been in vain.

Someone will come and speak the same words to people that you have received from Me. And people will compare and be surprised because they will recognise that the content corresponds to what they have already received through Word and Scripture. And again people will be offered a great opportunity to change their way of life and to shape themselves in accordance with My will. Because the messages from above will be so obviously consistent with the Gospel preached by him, who is My forerunner before My last coming. Only a few will recognise the extraordinary light and know that the time has come. The majority, however, will disregard a gift of grace which My love repeatedly offers to them. They cannot be helped anymore because it is their own free will as to whether they accept or reject it and which I will never compel. But the time of grace will be over soon, soon the hour will have passed and the last bell will toll. And anyone who has not found his way back to Me by then will remain distant from God for eternity and thus in a miserable state, which My love constantly attempts to prevent …. but success is up to you humans yourselves ….

Amen

I want to heal the sick, strengthen the weak, lift up the fallen, comfort the afflicted, I want to be a father to the orphaned, a teacher to the ignorant, and where an erring soul stands helplessly by the wayside I will offer Myself as a guide to warn it of the wrong path which leads it into the abyss. And all people who need My help and want to accept help will evidently experience it so that they believe that there is a God in heaven Who takes care of them and does not leave them on their own in their adversity. They are only not allowed to resist Me because then I will withdraw My will so as not to curtail their freedom of will. Nevertheless, I could very well impose My help on them, yet then it would not be real help but merely an obstacle to their soul’s ascent, which has to travel the path of ascent in utmost freedom if it wants to be saved. And therefore I can only inform you humans through My word of My love for you and of My will to help. And if you now come to Me of your own accord My love can work on you and you will thank Me eternally that I have taken care of you. And thus all hardship and suffering will be a burden for you if you do not want to accept help, and then earthly life will be unspeakably difficult for you and you will hardly reach your aim if My love cannot take effect on you. But I will still not leave you, and if I do not manage it in this earthly life then you will indeed have to go through another life on earth, yet one day you will reach the aim and let My love take hold of you, and your adversity will be remedied eternally. But now I once again urgently admonish you to follow My word and entrust yourselves to My guidance, for you do not have much time left on this earth. Use every day to approach Me, listen to My advice and let yourselves be instructed by those who are My true representatives on earth, who convey My word to you, which they receive from on high, from Me, in order to convey it to their fellow human beings. Listen to them, for they are My servants on earth who shall speak in My stead and inform you of My will, of My working and My love for you. Listen to them and follow My will, and very soon you will be guided onto the right path and will certainly reach your aim in the short time you have left until the end. Let yourselves be seized by My love and you will be eternally blissful ….

Amen

Where spiritual bondage prevails there is little success for My representatives on earth, for people are extensively deprived of knowledge, but on the other hand they are bound to handed down traditions which they never ever want to surrender and which, however, oppose what you, My servants on earth, represent and try to convey to them. Tremendous work has to begin in order to separate the pure teaching given to people by Me on earth from additional human work. Where intellectual freedom reigns, clarification can be accomplished through claim and counterclaim. But where the human being is prevented by commandments and prohibitions from freely deciding for himself, a purification of the falsified teaching is difficult to accomplish, and there it will also hardly be possible to win people for the revelations from on high, thus for the pure truth. But people remain in spiritual bondage as long as they unconditionally accept what they are taught without thinking about it themselves, otherwise they would encounter contradictions which would give them reason to doubt the absolute truth of what is imparted to them. Doubt must first set in before the human being is receptive to the pure truth, if he is in error. And error is everything that does not correspond with the teaching offered by Me Myself. Thus you humans can always use it as a guideline, for what is proclaimed to people through the voice of the spirit is pure, absolute truth and can also be represented as such at any time. However, evidence will also be produced on that side of the correctness of what contradicts the pure truth. But this evidence is not fully valid, it partly originates from human accounts which have been sanctioned, but partly also from unclear reports on which the stamp of credibility was deliberately put in order to strengthen the foundations of an organisation which wanted to occupy a position of power. And so the members of this organisation have been guided by themselves into a wrong thinking from which they do not want to or cannot free themselves. Every bearer of truth who endeavours to refute misguided teachings or merely to portray and illuminate them as doubtful will be in a difficult position against those, for they are commanded to have undoubted faith in the correctness of what they are taught, and thus they are spiritually not free, they are in a bondage which is wanted by satan and tolerated by people without resistance. And they cannot free themselves from this bondage as long as they do not have the firm will to attain the truth and call upon Me for My assistance. Then they will testify to Me that their will is turned towards Me, and then they will truly receive the strength to break away from the power of the one who is the enemy of the pure truth. Then they will also start to doubt from within the truth of what they are taught; they will desire the truth and I will convey it to them in a form that they can accept it. And then those will also have lost their power who are in the service of him who fights against the truth. Then they will not belong to the crowd of followers who accept without thinking what is to be thought through, but they will feel far happier in possession of the pure truth, which they will also recognise as such. Yet the opportunity is offered to all to take a stand on the spiritual knowledge imparted to them, for everyone will run into a position to discuss controversial issues, yet how long such occupy their thinking is again up to the human being’s free will. And therefore, everyone is also responsible for his spiritual knowledge, although the teachers also have to answer who distribute spiritual knowledge which has not become their own mental knowledge but was also passed on by them irresponsibly, without the teacher having acquired the inner conviction of truthfulness. But he who exercises a teaching office must also be able to defend the body of thought, which is only ever possible if he himself deals with it intellectually. If he fails to do so he will have to answer to Me as the eternal truth Myself, which I offer to anyone who only seriously desires it in order to invalidate My adversary, whose most eager endeavour is to undermine the truth and lead people into wrong thinking. And I will truly be victorious, for My adversary will be defeated at the end of days, whereas My word, the light from the heavens, the pure truth, will remain, although heaven and earth will pass away ….

Amen

Anyone who opposes My will will find no peace in this life once he has realised that I, as Lord and creator, rule the entire world and that I also incline towards the tiniest being if it needs My care. And this realisation will occur to every person who once received My word through the mouth of a servant on earth and let it speak to his heart. Anyone who has remained untouched by My word will not incur guilt if he does not fulfil My will, even though he is impelled to do so from within; yet he lacks realisation and thus he will not be held responsible either. But where the powers of realisation have also been acquired for deeper knowledge, a violation of My will is a disregard or rebellion against Me Myself, which also has to be atoned for accordingly. And thus you have to expect that I will withdraw My gift of grace from you, that your view will be clouded and that you will lose spiritual wealth and a great emptiness will remain in your heart which will make you unhappy and weak towards earthly life until the desire for My love and grace overcomes you and you sincerely appeal for the granting of My word; and then My grace will shine for you again, providing you comply with My will and do what I have commanded you. For My will is unchangeable and I truly know best what is necessary for you to become faithful labourers for Me and My kingdom. And so let yourselves be admonished and follow My will, and do not become negligent in your striving, work diligently and try to make My gift of grace accessible to your fellow human beings, receive yourselves what My love offers you and utilise it, otherwise you will be weakened in wanting and carrying out what I demand of you through My word. Draw the strength from My word and you will be faithful and willing labourers for Me and always fulfil My will ….

Amen

Why do you doubt My word? You cannot yet grasp what a gift of grace you receive, for the inner voice is a great gift from Me which I grant to everyone but which requires an extremely high degree of maturity which people no longer have today. Nevertheless, My love for you, My living creations, is so great that I want to transform you into My children and therefore My word, the light from above, is indispensable in a time of spiritual low. And therefore I give you humans a gift by choosing you to be a mediator between Me and you. And I also gave you the ability to receive and understand My word; it is a great gift of grace, although your will only made this gift possible. And such a gift shall make you happy and joyful, it shall give you strength and comfort in every difficult situation in life, it shall be a support for you when earthly supports fail and you doubt the truth of the word which comes to you from on high? Give yourself completely to Me and all doubt will disappear from your heart. What else could I possibly want but to preserve you for a task which is extremely important in the time of humanity’s deepest distress. And if suffering oppresses you, then this shall only contribute to making you strive towards Me more intimately. Yet you can always be certain of My help, for I want you to work for My kingdom and will never let you become unfit for it due to excessive suffering. And if I give you the assurance that you will work together in the time to come, then quell every doubt and believe, for the strength of faith also guarantees certain success. I do not want a separation, I do not want a decline in your spiritual life either, I want love to increase because without love no activity on My part is possible in you. Therefore give up the fight, let Me rule and entrust yourselves to Me and My love without limit, for I never deny Myself, I am always ready to stand by you, and I know about every adversity your soul experiences, yet I also know what is for your best and helps it to mature …. Yet I can only advise you and make My will known to you …. And if you follow My advice My blessing will also always accompany you and you will be happy ….

Amen

You must likewise believe unquestioningly that you have been given a spiritual task, and you must by no means easily ignore it or neglect to fulfil it. To be allowed to serve God is a special distinction which certainly requires the human being’s will but also a higher degree of maturity which enables him to do unusual work. But being allowed to serve God also obliges one to do it with the utmost commitment, it obliges one to be industriously active and to be most willing to conscientiously fulfil the task set. And again, the fulfilment of such a task is extremely important and significant, for humanity’s spiritual hardship demands that the former finds help, that God Himself brings it help through His very servants on earth. And this service to suffering humanity should be taken seriously, for countless souls are dependent on help. But the help consists of a human being being the mediator between them and God, Who informs humanity of His will through this mediator and tries to lead people to right thinking and a way of life in love. But since people are no longer able to establish the connection with God themselves, a human being must volunteer to enter into contact with God as a mediator in order to receive His instructions and, as it were, pass them on to people for their salvation. This task is so extremely important and its fulfilment so urgently necessary that God gives the one who wants to serve Him every opportunity to fulfil his task and also grants him every protection, every support and every grace so that the mediator can carry out his office in peace and can constantly work for the kingdom of God. And therefore you should not doubt that you have a mission to fulfil, and if you believe you will also be diligently active and not miss any opportunity to work for God and His kingdom wherever possible. Then you will put spiritual work first and never regret it, for if you work for God and His kingdom He will also reward you …. He will give you grace in abundance so that you can participate in Christ’s work of redemption already on earth and one day in eternity ….

Amen

Communicating spiritually is a process which guarantees unmeasured gifts of grace, for it is the uniting with Me Myself, Who bestows grace in abundance. Through spiritual communion the human being’s soul enters a state of transfiguration, it no longer belongs to earth but is in such intimate contact with the spirit within itself that it is, as it were, spiritualised itself and in this state feels the bliss of the connection with the father-spirit without the human being feeling anything with his physical senses. It is merely the soul which is participating in it, the soul which has detached itself from the earth and to a certain extent also from the body and dwells in spiritual spheres. I Myself seize it full of love and also radiate love into it, I fill it with strength which enables it to feel and think completely spiritually and to only want what corresponds to My will. Spiritual communion is a state of complete surrender of will to Me, for only that soul can be united with Me which has given up all resistance and surrenders itself to Me in deepest love, thus it accepts My fundamental nature and becomes love itself. This transformation of its nature takes place through the human being’s activity of love first, which is then followed by a heartfelt desire for Me Myself which is so strong that the soul desires to hear and feel Me. Through this desire the soul draws Me to itself, because love seeks and finds union and because I, as the eternal Love Myself, know no other aim than to be united with My living creations and to make them happy with My love. And therefore I comply with every desire of a loving soul and make it happy by making My presence known to it through My word …. so that it feels My presence, so that it is certain of My nearness and receives undeniable evidence of My love …. My radiance, My word, My flesh and My blood. Spiritual communion is the intimate union with Me which can never remain without consequences. The soul is born anew, it emerges from its shell, it becomes free from imprisonment, it enters into life, for My spirit unites with it and awakens it to life, it becomes spiritually active and receives gifts of grace …. a rich knowledge which encompasses eternal truths. She is no longer in a state of death but lives a new life, in light and strength, in knowledge and love. And I am constantly united with it, for anyone who once communicates spiritually no longer wants to miss the union with Me, he constantly longs for My presence and My love, and his longing will constantly be fulfilled. For a soul born anew constantly returns to its origin again, it feels that it belongs to the kingdom of spirits as a spirit, it feels closely united with the father as a child, it remains in constant love and therefore never parts with Me again for eternity …. And the earth only keeps it bound until it has given away its spiritual wealth, its treasure of grace received through spiritual communion, to its fellow human beings in order to likewise provide them with the unspeakable happiness of spiritual uniting with Me, in order to help them attain the beatitude which it has found itself through love ….

Amen

Once the soul has united with its spirit the body will have lost its entitlement to the soul, i.e., the soul will reject physical desires because they contradict the spirit’s wishes. For this reason a union between soul and spirit can only take place at those times when the body is not occupied with earthly activities during which all thoughts and feelings, hence the soul, are focussed on this activity. Although a human being’s activity may well correspond to divine will, the spirit’s effectiveness nevertheless depends on the soul’s complete surrender to the spirit, consequently it requires a person’s withdrawal into seclusion for the spirit to make itself heard by the soul, especially if the conveyed spiritual knowledge is also intended for fellow human beings, hence if it needs to be written down. This is why proclamations from the spiritual kingdom, thus the Father-Spirit’s emanations to the spiritual spark, can only be received in seclusion, when the soul can unreservedly hand itself over to the spirit. Then a complete connection between soul and spirit will be possible, so that God Himself will be able to express Himself through the spirit, so that the soul will spiritualise itself and during moments of contact with the eternal Father-Spirit receive, understand and subsequently inform those people of His Word who desire to know the outcome of the retreat. Only then will the soul establish contact with the body and inform the latter of what it has received from the spiritual kingdom ….

Amen

Even the most inconspicuous creature on earth enjoys God’s love and care, for it emerged from His power of love and is eternally inseparably united with Him. But it also has a purpose of existence to fulfil, and that is why it was given life, be it as a human being or an animal, in a free state or in a state of constraint. Every creature is assigned a task which it must fulfil. If it now fulfils this task, then it becomes free from the respective form and can re-embody itself in a higher form. Thus every creature has to carry out an activity which, however, always differs from the previous one, because different abilities have to be developed, which certainly repeat themselves in the course of infinitely many embodiments, but are always adapted to the being’s degree of development. Before the embodiment as a human being the activity of those creatures is subject to God’s will and therefore takes place in a certain regularity, which is why the same abilities are always characteristic of the creatures, which then mark the being in a form. And thus there are infinitely many forms before the embodiment as a human being, and in each one the being’s task is different, and every activity corresponds to the divine will, His unsurpassed wisdom and His greater than great love …. It results in the maturing of the creatures, the safe ascent to the height, to the last embodiment as a human being, whose purpose of existence is again the upward development of the soul. And in this last period of development divine love takes special care of its living creations, which now have to carry out an activity of their own accord, no longer subject to the law of compulsion, but which is always intended to secure the soul’s upward development. But every activity as a human being must prove serving love, then it corresponds to God’s will and will also be blessed. Now God’s love is also constantly turned towards His creatures. And it expresses itself especially in that it creates opportunities for the human being where he can carry out a serving activity. Every earthly work is such an opportunity, and the spiritual development of a human being is also according to how he views his work, always dependent on the degree of love which inspires the human being during his activity. But divine will ends the earthly life of every soul at a time determined by Him in His wisdom in order to then transfer the being, whether perfect or imperfect, into the spiritual kingdom, where it will continue to be cared for by His love and also now has to be active in serving love in order to become perfect and to finally find union with God as its aim, which is the only purpose of every being on earth and in the spiritual kingdom ….

Amen

Remain faithful to Me, open your hearts to Me and let Me enter, let Me work in you, whom I have chosen to cooperate with Me, so that My working can indeed appear but is concealed from people in dark spiritual night, because bright light would blind them and could only have an effect to the detriment of their souls. I need you to help Me and therefore I must prepare you such that you will be suitable instruments for Me in the time to come, which will be extraordinarily difficult for the whole of humanity but bearable for you because I am with you and smooth your path of life so that you can travel it safely until the end. I constantly want to make you happy with My word, I want to speak loving father words to you, I want to give you comfort in hours of adversity which also cannot pass you by because it will be one anxious experience after the other. I want to strengthen you and spur you on to tireless work for Me and My kingdom, I want to loosen your tongues, put your thinking in order, and I want to work in you through My spirit and give you brightest light, clearest realisation and profoundest knowledge, I want to kindle your hearts into a great flame of love so that you will take care of your fellow human beings who live in great spiritual distress and need your help. Let Me constantly stay with you, call Me so that I can come to you, and familiarise yourselves with My word, for it is a source of strength, a refreshment and nourishment for the soul, and remain intimately united with Me in prayer, then you will never need to fear falling into a weak state and be masters of every situation in life. I only require one thing from you, that you make My will your own, that you do not resist Me but only keep My commandments …. love Me above all else and your neighbour as yourselves …. But consider what these commandments demand …. and then fulfil them, and you will be assured of My constant blessing, My love and grace, and you will remain faithful to Me and persevere until the end, and you will be willing servants through whom I Myself can work where My working is required ….

Amen

The One Who gave you life also determines your destiny, and both your earthly and your spiritual life are subject to His will, the latter is indeed dependent on your will insofar as that you create the degree of your perfection yourselves, yet furthering your spiritual maturing through everlasting spiritual impressions which, to a certain extent, are caused by earthly impressions, which is why every person’s destiny is predetermined according to the human being’s will for perfection. And thus you always have to go through the school on earth which your soul needs, for God has known since eternity which course your spiritual development takes, He also knows about the degree of maturity the soul has reached at its passing, He knows about the individual’s lifespan, and He often has to apply more stringent means before the death of the body in order to further the soul’s development. Then life approaches the human being with complete harshness and thereby forces him to free himself from every earthly desire, so that the soul will only long for God and thus discard its last earthly fetter in order to enter the spiritual kingdom completely free and purified. Sometimes a state of extreme adversity is necessary for a soul so that it completely entrusts itself to its creator and ruler and dissolves all ties with the world. But then it reaches a high degree of maturity which brings it complete happiness and thus full compensation in the spiritual kingdom. It receives again spiritually a thousandfold what was taken from it earthly or remained denied to it. And the human being should bear in mind that God does not let him suffer arbitrarily but only ever pursues one aim, to make him blissfully happy forever. And if the school he has to attend is not to remain unsuccessful, then often all severity must be applied or the human being would not be able to educate himself spiritually in the short time which, according to his eternal destiny, still remains until the end. And since the end is not far off, hardship sets in in a way which often does not reveal a God of love. And yet, God’s infinite love itself determines the educational path the soul has to take, and therefore the human being should always commend himself to God’s love, then his soul will derive its benefit from every experience, it will mature in a short time and enter the spiritual kingdom with a high degree of development as soon as it leaves its body, its last shell, and after an infinitely long time of being bound it can enjoy eternal freedom ….

Amen

Only rarely can I express Myself in such a way that a regular transmission of My word to earth takes place through the will of a person who is at My service. Only rarely is such a connection established which not only produces mental results but also results in written notes which can be made available to fellow human beings. And only rarely, therefore, is there the possibility of giving people enlightenment and answering every spiritual question. It is a connection between heaven and earth, between Me and people, which obviously has an effect as a sign that an informal contact with Me is possible and that it evidently results in the conveyance of My word. And therefore it is understandable that I will never dissolve such a connection but that I will favour it and lovingly look after the person who establishes this connection with Me, and that I will help him in every way to find his way on earth with regard to both earthly and spiritual matters so as not to lose him, because a great task awaits him which can only be carried out by such a person that is completely devoted to Me and therefore also sinless, so that My spirit can express itself through him. Anyone who is active for Me need never fear that this gift of grace will be withdrawn from him, because once he is in close contact with Me he cannot go so far astray that he makes the working of the spirit in him impossible. He will not deliberately disobey Me, he will consult Me in every matter of human life and thus never need to do without My word, because he can never become so unfaithful to Me that he consciously resists Me. Yet I can certainly withdraw from him the gift to enlighten his fellow human being if he makes himself unworthy of My instruction. For the extent to which the deeper knowledge is comprehensible to the fellow human being depends on the way the transmission is rendered. And thus the recipient can very well keep the gift of receiving divine wisdom and be constantly instructed with My full will, yet the listener can remain little impressed and My gift of grace will pass him by completely ineffectively, and he will experience this state as agonising and suffer but grasp every opportunity where he can feel My working of the spirit again and follow it ….

Amen

Receive what My love offers you and strengthen yourselves with it at all times. And if you are burdened by earthly worries, consider them imposed on you by Me and bear them submissively, and if they seem unbearable to you, come to Me and I will help you bear them or take them away from you completely, i.e. give you strength or send help so that the hardship which has burdened you will be remedied. And thus you will never come away empty-handed if you turn to Me, for a father does not deny Himself to children who love Him and want to gain His love by fulfilling His commandments. And therefore you will always find Me willing to make you happy with gifts of grace, you will always hear words of love from Me if you have inner contemplation. You will never need to go hungry and never lose My love either, because I am always willing to give and want to distribute My goods in spiritual as well as earthly regard to those who need them. I do not leave anyone empty-handed, however, I distribute My goods differently according to the individual’s will of utilisation. And thus you should not be anxious in giving and always bear in mind that I am the One Who can bless and increase all your goods, whether earthly or spiritual, that I can give back to you what you give away and that I will also do so, only distributing them in a different measure if you give to your neighbour out of love. You will lack for nothing if you do not leave your neighbour in need, for My possessions are not limited and My love even less so, and thus you will be allowed to receive without measure if only you use your gifts right and thus use them to work in unselfish neighbourly love. And then do you need to worry about your needs if I give you the assurance that they will be covered? Do you need to fear that you could become weary in the battle of life if I stand by your side and you never need to believe that you are abandoned by Me? Just believe in My love and every worry will leave you, believe in My omnipotence and you will no longer doubt that I can help you in every adversity and also want to help you because I love you. Believe in My wisdom which only shapes your life in a way that is good for your soul. And thus you can constantly receive gifts from Me, I will provide for you in earthly regard and not leave you spiritually destitute, as soon as you receive My word and draw all the strength you need from it for your earthly path of life in order to be able to cover it according to My will ….

Amen

You will reap what you sow, and you will always have to recognise Me as a righteous Judge if I allow the fruits of your sowing …. the consequences of your way of life and your activity on earth, to clearly show as sufferings or joys, as hardships or blessings of all kinds. I want you to recognise Me, to regard nothing as coincidence but to always and constantly see My providence, My hand, whatever comes upon you. And I want you to account for the extent to which you yourselves are to blame for your fate, if it seems to be difficult for you to bear. Every lack of love results in spiritual weakness, every act of love results in increased knowledge. And thus, with strict self-criticism you can judge by your spiritual state how far you practise love. You will always be happy, strive towards Me, seek to increase your spiritual knowledge and thus desire to hear Me, directly or through My servants, if you give …. spiritual or earthly goods …. As you measure out, so will be measured out to you, i.e. you will not see any shortage if only you endeavour to make contact with Me through love. But where love is lacking My activity to distribute spiritual or earthly riches is also not possible …. and where unkindness prevails even that which the human being possesses will be lost. A person’s actions must have a backlash on him, they must rebound on him otherwise My justice would be called into question, the fruits must correspond to the sowing, even if it is sometimes not immediately recognisable, because My patience often delays in order to give people the opportunity to reflect and change when their thinking is not right. And if a person is serious about his spiritual development, about increasing his soul’s maturity, about spiritual progress, broadened knowledge and approach to God, his life must also be an unmistakable work of love; he must make an effort to give love to his fellow human beings, to distribute what earthly or spiritual possessions he has, he must give and make happy, he must be lovingly active in the sense of the word, then he will also gather the fruits of his life on earth, because I am just and give to everyone as he is worthy of My gifts ….

Amen

You certainly hear My word and thereby can learn My will, you are also willing to serve Me and to take care of the spreading of My word …. you also live consciously and strive for a higher spiritual state …. you also make an effort to live in love and are often in mental contact with Me, yet you still lack one thing: the boundless trust in My help in every adversity of body and soul. Yet it is precisely this trust which is the characteristic feature of My children that they come to the father and present their needs to Him in faith in My certain help. Not the slightest doubt is allowed to arise in you, you must put yourselves into the love of your father and creator and sustainer for His creatures. If you are able to feel seized by the father’s love then every doubt in you will also disappear, for then My love will explain everything to you, then you will know that I cannot act differently towards you than to grant you everything you request, because true love never denies itself but wants to see itself united with the object of its love, and that I therefore always want to grant you what is good for you so that you will not come to any harm. Yet your intellect cannot grasp it, and you are still far too active with your intellect where only your heart should decide; your intellect questions and ponders and hardly comes to a satisfactory result. But your heart has the right feeling and tells you again and again that only My love is decisive and that this love is intended for you forever if only you desire it. And therefore you only have to make yourselves worthy of My love, and then you will never make a wrong request, for I will grant you everything if only you can be counted as My Own by fulfilling My commandment of love, among those who no longer have a home on earth but see their true home in the spiritual kingdom and who therefore long for a connection with Me, their eternal heavenly father. You need only ever think of My love and your trust will increase, and then you will have the guarantee for the fulfilment of every request yourselves, and then you will no longer doubt because I have given you the promise: ‘Ask and it will be given to you, knock and it will be opened to you …. “

Amen

The power of love is overwhelming and yet it is too little recognised and used. It is like a torrent which seizes everything and takes it along with it, it is like a fire which nothing can withstand, which consumes everything that comes close to it. There is an unusual power in love, but it must be a pure love, otherwise it triggers instincts that pull down. A pure love can and must awaken requited love again, just as a force also triggers a counteracting force. And that is why it will also find a reciprocation, even if not directly as a consequence but only when love has had an effect on the fellow human being. It must, so to speak, first touch his heart before the reciprocal love awakens and thus radiates back. It is an original law that love works as a force and that as such it also has tremendous power. It is a fundamental law that it must double itself as soon as two beings feel attracted to each other, but that one behaves passively, the other actively and that therefore the love of the one must be stronger, otherwise it would not be constructive, thus noticeable as power. It is love emanating from God and therefore to be called divine as long as it only strives for spiritual good. However, a person’s love can also be for his fellow human being, and even then it can still be divine if the principle of giving love prevails. Then it will also arouse requited love, but it must then be completely free from self-interest, and its aim must always be to give and bestow happiness. (24.10.1947) Anyone who carries love within himself which is willing to give and make happy is truly connected to Me and constantly draws strength from Me. For such love will always urge activity, it has to express its power, and this urge results in everlasting activity. But activity is life, and therefore the human being is only in a state of life when he is full of love. For only love activity ends the state of death which surrounds the soul before. Love work is an activity emanating from the spirit, which cannot be compared to earthly activity, even if it has an earthly effect. The influx of strength from the spiritual kingdom will always drive the human being to increased activity of love, and consequently the strength within himself will constantly increase. Although the human being is not particularly affected by it physically, his entire life of feeling experiences a deepening, he is extremely sensitive and therefore hears the voice of the spirit within himself, which only sounds softly and faintly and cannot be perceived by the physical senses. This voice of the spirit is therefore the effect of loving activity and loving activity again the effect of loving feelings in the heart, this again an emanation of Myself which I let flow to him who loves Me, i.e. who fulfils My commandments, who endeavours to do My will, who consciously strives towards Me, i.e. who acknowledges Me and believes in Me. Love is always power, whether it comes forth from Me and touches My living creations or returns to Me in the form of unselfish loving activity. And this power will continuously flow into the universe, for I Myself, as the eternal Love, want to give and make happy and raise My living creations into a state of bliss, I want them to live and receive and distribute the strength from Me through constant activity, because it drives them to want to give and make happy ….

Amen

Spiritual striving should unite you and no longer allow separation. Common experience shall let you mature, and everyone shall strive upwards out of innermost impulse, everyone shall feel as God’s agent who has a mission to fulfil and ask God for strength and grace to be able to carry out this mission according to His will. And you will find plenty of work if you place yourselves to His service, for He needs willing labourers to cultivate a field which shall bear abundant fruit. He needs people for sowing, just as He needs reapers for the time of harvest, who serve Him and work diligently. If God has chosen you, be aware of this honour and make yourselves worthy of it. For it is a very special grace to be allowed to receive His word which prepares you for this mission, which makes you knowledgeable and able to pass this knowledge on to your fellow human beings. Therefore be aware of this gift of grace and accept with gratitude what God’s love offers you, but also fulfil His will which is made known to you through His word. Every spiritual conversation will benefit you, it will result in increased knowledge for you, and this knowledge will make you happy, for it is offered from above, from God Himself, Who instructs His servants to teach you and Who reveals Himself to you as a teacher, takes you into His school and imparts divine wisdom to you. If He Himself instructs you, you will be far from all error and the truth will flow to you in purest form, for His love is exceedingly great, His wisdom is unfathomable and His might unimaginable. But you can notice love and wisdom and omnipotence in every announcement and therefore be happy that His nature is revealed to you and that you possess the ability to grasp what His spirit announces to you. And therefore appreciate this gift of grace, make yourselves worthy of it, do not become lukewarm and indifferent but desire it with all your heart and receive it with gratitude, then your spiritual striving will bring you blessings, you will progress in your development and surely reach your aim …. complete union with the eternal Love Which wants to win you for eternity ….

Amen

You shall become My Own and never separate yourselves from Me again, you shall enter into unity with Me, hand yourselves over to Me and desire no more than My love, and if you have reached this stage of renouncing all earthly things, you can relinquish your life without qualms, for then you will have passed your final test on earth and will be ready for the spiritual realm. But what do you need to achieve this degree of love for Me which will make you blissfully happy forever? You must have the relationship of a child to its father, then you will not desire anything else but to be united with Me, for the child only desires to be with the father because it feels his paternal love and knows that it is well protected by it. The child is weak and requires protection and support; it requires gifts which only the father’s love can bestow upon it, so it trustingly comes to him and asks him full of childlike humility, and the father will not deny the child anything because he loves it. You must all feel like My children and have this confidence in Me so that you can present all your worries, hardships and afflictions to Me and faithfully wait for Me to take them from you, to remove them and let your fate on earth be bearable for you. And thus you forge a bond with Me, your Father of eternity, you entrust yourselves unto Me, and therefore feel so close to Me that you speak to Me without inhibition and also make an effort to gain My pleasure and thereby My love again, and you will be aware that you, as My children, possess My love and this awareness will give you inner peace and strength in abundance. And yet you will not become arrogant, you will remain profoundly faithful and be showered with My grace …. Then I will be able to take effect in you, I will be able to speak to you through My spirit and you will be able to hear Me …. the connection with Me will lead to an abundance of blessings, for then you will belong to Me and I will never ever let you leave Me again. The union will have taken place which should be all peoples’ goal on earth so that they will be able to enter the kingdom of peace when their life on earth is over ….

Amen

Secret powers are always at work, in union with the original power, the creator of the universe, with God, to Whom everything is subject in the spiritual kingdom as well as in the material world. These powers are constantly active and influence the thoughts of people who are entrusted to their care. Thoughts are spiritual currents which are conveyed to people by these powers, but whether they are accepted by them is up to people themselves. And therefore the spiritual powers seek to guide the human being’s will in a certain direction, so that the will is now ready to receive the thought waves which surround it and present them to the intellect for digesting, so that then both the soul as well as the intellect will benefit from them. These powers are now at work to achieve a total change of thinking, and they take every opportunity to admonish and warn people, and therefore these powers, spiritual beings of light, first try to direct people’s thinking towards the spiritual kingdom, and for this purpose earthly life is fatefully made more difficult for them so that they give it up more easily and seek a substitute where they cannot be disappointed. (28.10.1947) In many cases people chain themselves even more to earthly life after severe strokes of fate, and then it is difficult for the spiritual powers to make themselves heard, for the mental emanations are not accepted …. The human being remains in his completely material thinking and is lost for the spiritual kingdom. But where only a few get together and mention what occupies their thoughts, where only one person touches spiritual spheres in conversation, there those powers can also work and express themselves mentally, and the people who do not oppose him will acquire mental knowledge which satisfies them inwardly and is recognised by them as truth. And to receive this knowledge mentally is enlightenment of the intellect, which is the grant of grace to every person who directs his will into the spiritual kingdom in desire for knowledge, for truth, and receives it from God through His beings of light. Right thinking does not originate from the intellect but from the spiritual kingdom, the spirit from God is active to awaken the slumbering spiritual spark in the human being, which is His share, and to instruct the soul through it, which then makes itself heard by the human being, which now also requires intellectual activity, so that the knowledge becomes the human being’s intellectual property. In order for the human being’s intellect to become enlightened it is necessary for it to be directed into the spiritual realm through impressions or conversations with other people, to mentally occupy itself with spiritual problems, and for the knowing powers of the spiritual kingdom to carry out God’s task and to influence people’s thoughts, to convey the truth from God to them, which alone leads to God and secures eternal life for people ….

Amen

A great disappointment will be experienced by those people who hope for an improvement of the situation in life and do all kinds of work with the prospect of a better time. They believe they can reshape their lives through human hands and human will, they believe in an advancement in every respect, they carry out all work which amounts to provision for the long term, they are exceedingly hard-working in unimportant things, but they leave the most important thing unattended …. to make provision for the life beyond. Their thoughts constantly revolve around earthly duties, earthly pleasures, earthly prosperity. But they are completely indifferent to spiritual life, and thus it is understandable that they strive away from God even though they talk about His name, for the world’s charms are stronger and the world is part of the one who works against God and wants to displace Him. And since they concede more rights to God’s adversary through their desire, what they desire will also be granted to them, yet he will also take possession of their soul and a release from his control requires a strength of will which earthly-minded people cannot muster. For these people the disappointment will be overwhelming if the earth is afflicted by divine will, if the natural disaster destroys all their hopes and places them into extremely meagre living conditions which contradict all their plans and hopes. It will be a bitter time for all worldly-minded people which they can hardly bear, for now they realise the impossibility of a better way of life and are incapable of any constructive work. They grumble and complain and reject a creator and sustainer of all things, for they are unable to recognise God in this adversity which has occurred through the work of destruction. They will not accept a spiritual explanation of the coming time, for their worldly attitude deprives them of all ability to make a right assessment and therefore they will be completely at a loss in the face of the newly created situation until God has mercy upon them and either takes them from earth or gives them a renewed opportunity to take note of His word in order to be able to change seriously, if they muster the will to do so. Nevertheless, it is the only possibility, for the inclination towards the world is too great to be discarded if God had not simultaneously combined this work of destruction with an action of help in order to give them the opportunity to detach themselves from matter. For this must first be overcome if the human being wants to be saved, if he wants to get to know his actual task on earth and strive to fulfil it. Divine intervention through nature is the last means of help to turn to spiritual striving in free will and to learn to overcome the earth with its charms.

Amen

You will experience the time of harvest, of which it is written that the wheat will be separated from the chaff and the fruits of the fields will be gathered into the barns. And the Lord will instruct His servants to do their work dutifully, He will send them out to be diligent reapers of the harvest, to be anxious to fill their master’s barns, and not to rest until the last fruits are brought under cover, until they can say to Him: “Lord, our work is done.” (31.10.1947) This time is near, and all those who work for the kingdom of God, all those who want to bring souls to God, who seek to spread His teaching of love, who inform people of God’s work and activity, these are His servants whom He has hired so that the work may be done which is urgently needed before the end, before the day when the wheat will be separated from the chaff. And this day is no longer far away, again and again it is told to people through the mouth of the prophets, through the mouth of those who serve God and place themselves completely to His service. Time and again God avails Himself of them to speak through them to all who want to listen to Him. But time will pass quickly, an exceedingly lively activity will have to start in order to still gather a rich harvest until the last day. But the reward will truly be worth the labour …. Even in the last hour God still needs labourers for His vineyard, and He solicits such incessantly, for the urgency of the end requires excessive labour, and all the more so the greater the spiritual need is amongst humanity. Who offers his services? Who does not shun work for God and His kingdom? Who has mercy on erring souls and wants to help save them from eternal damnation? Who hears the voice of the Lord, Who calls servants to serve Him? All of you will experience the time when God will reap the harvest, and all of you should listen to His call and place yourselves to His service. The work is indeed difficult and requires much patience and love for your fellow human beings, yet God will bless your efforts a thousand times over and will not demand more from you than you are able to achieve. And He heaps His grace upon all who enter His service, for the end is near and haste is called for because the day has been determined since eternity when the last Judgment will be held ….

Amen

To hear the sounding word in the heart is My love’s most unmistakable sign. It sounds like a softly spoken word, fine and delicate and yet bright and clear. It fills you humans with heartfelt joy, for it is so unusually pleasant that you would constantly desire to hear it if I did not want to disillusion you so that you can also stand your ground in earthly life. For the bliss of feeling My nearness deprives you of tranquillity, and therefore I must also always approach you in covering, whether in word or in My presence, and protect you from becoming exuberant, which is not suitable for this world. Love for Me is indeed kindled in you like an unquenchable fire, yet I do not let it flare up in bright flames for your own sake. But I know when your heart is capable of profound pure love for Me and when I can therefore express Myself soundingly in you. But you do not know the degree of love which allows this surest sign of My love, and therefore you have to be urged to increased love and often through suffering which is to push you into My arms. For whom I have seized with My love I will never leave again, but neither will I leave him on the same stage of development, I want him to draw closer to Me, to become ever more perfect, so that in the end he will only desire Me alone …. and this requires a heart which is completely purified and open to Me …. Do you understand that I only want to help you achieve this and that you have to go through schools of purification in order to be able to be blissfully happy in My presence? In order to be able to hear My spoken word and thus to be fully convinced of My presence? Do you understand why you have to go through suffering and misery, why I exhort you to constant activity of love and constantly give you the opportunity to work in love? Do you understand why you have to serve in order to be able to rule one day, why you have to bow down in humility in order to be lifted up by Me? If you hear My word resounding within you, you will understand all this and thank Me with all your heart, for then you will also have mature knowledge and an understanding for everything that happens in the world, around you and to yourselves. Everything is only based on My greater than great love, everything only has the purpose to make your approach to Me desirable and to help you achieve it. For you can only be saved in union with Me. Becoming one with Me is your aim, because you are My share from eternity which I will never relinquish or hand over to My adversary. And if you only have the slightest will for this uniting with Me then you will certainly reach the aim, for My love takes hold of everything that strives towards it, and love’s highest aim is final unification with Me for all eternity. And if you knew of the depth of My love, a blissful peace would flow through you …. But you should struggle and ask for strength, you should be diligently active and work on yourselves in order to attain the highest perfection. But then I Myself will dwell in your hearts, I will speak to you and you will be allowed to hear Me at any time and in any place, as often and as long as your soul can bear it, as long as you still live on earth …. But one day you will be allowed to hear Me constantly, you will be able to constantly stay close to Me and constantly be made happy by My love, and your bliss will have no end …. you will be eternally blissful ….

Amen

Jesus was the mediator between God and people at a time when the connection with God was no longer established on the part of people and it was therefore impossible for God to make Himself known to them through the inner word. A link between them and God had become necessary, so to speak, and the possibility had to be created to convey God’s will to people, and this could only happen through a person who had such a high degree of maturity of his soul that he was able to hear the inner word, so that God Himself could express Himself through this person without endangering the freedom of will. This act can only take place in fullest unison of the human being’s will with divine will and therefore total submission of his own will to God’s will, and this complete submission results in the ability to hear God’s voice, and since the divine voice (3.11.1947) sounds extremely fine and delicate only the person who attentively listens inwards is able to hear it. Jesus, the man, was full of love for His fellow human beings, He Himself heard the voice of God in Himself …. (4.11.1947) and in His love He sought to inform His fellow human beings of what He received from God Himself. For God spoke to all people through Jesus, and thus He was only the shell through which God Himself expressed Himself. The connection between God and people had become so absolutely essential, for without the mediation of divine will no-one was able to fulfil his purpose on earth, to shape himself in God’s image, to shape himself into love, for at the time of Jesus Christ people were completely devoid of love and thus endlessly distant from God. There was a gulf which could only be bridged through loving activity, and people would have been irredeemably lost had God not sent them a Saviour in Jesus Christ, Who bridged the gulf by virtue of His great love for people, Who established a path from people to God …. the path of unselfish neighbourly love. This was intended to bring them back into the state of hearing the word of God, of hearing Himself and recognising His speech as divine and obeying everything God demanded of people. However, the people of that time did not establish the connection with God Himself, they neither practised unselfish neighbourly love nor did they believe in a God Who wanted to speak to them. Jesus knew about this human condition and wanted to help them by offering to fulfil the conditions which were directly linked to the hearing of the divine word. And thus He first shaped Himself into love and thereby entered into such intimate union with God that He was chosen as a mediator, that God Himself took on His body as a cover in order to conceal His radiance, His all-consuming fire of love, from people who walked in such dark spiritual night that bright light was unbearable to them. God made use of a human being, and He spoke through His mouth. Nevertheless, He was recognised by only a few. Only a few lived according to the divine will, so that they also recognised the divine in the man Jesus and accepted His word as spoken by God. The majority called His word in doubt, they did not recognise Him because they were sinful and without love …. And in this same adversity are people now again who have no faith in God and are so distant from Him through their unloving (nature) life that they cannot hear His word. (4.11.1947) And again they need mediators …. Servants through whose mouth God can express Himself in order to send admonitions and warnings to people in their spiritual hardship, to give them the commandment of love and guidelines for their way of life so that they will not be dragged into the abyss by His adversary but attain eternal beatitude. And these servants must be so intimately united with God that they are able to hear His word, they must have acquired this ability through loving activity and a will turned towards God; love for their fellow human beings must induce them to provide spiritual and earthly help. Furthermore, they must be completely independent of religious organisations, i.e. they must not be pushed into wrong thinking which can prevent them from accepting the pure word of God and rejecting contrary teachings …. because they should seek to spread the word received from God with all zeal as the sole, eternal truth. To be a mediator between God and people, to establish the connection with the spiritual kingdom is certainly the most beautiful task on earth and eclipses every earthly activity. It is a task which earns a wealth of grace of inestimable value, yet such an office is also obligatory, for he who has much must also distribute much, and he will also be held responsible for how he has administered his wealth. Being a mediator between God and people is truly of utmost importance, it is the narrowing of a gap which has become almost unbridgeable due to people’s unkindness. But one person’s love can build a bridge, and countless people can step onto this bridge and become able to hear the divine word again. And for this reason, God will bless His servants on earth who freely offer to render a service to their fellow human beings which will have an effect for eternity, and He will always be mindful of supporting them with love and grace so that they can fulfil their mission …. to be a suitable instrument for God Who wants to speak to people in times of deepest spiritual adversity, Who wants to help them because they urgently need His help, for time is coming to an end ….

Amen

The gift of prophecy is only given to the person who makes use of it in the right, i.e. God-willed way …. who announces to his fellow human beings what he is able to see or hear as a servant of God. Judgment never comes upon people without prior announcement, they never remain unwarned. Warnings and admonitions, however, must come to them through the mouths of men, for people are to decide in free will for good or evil, and thus they must also be allowed to judge the predictions without constraint and be able to make a stand of belief or disbelief, it must be left up to them to change on the basis of the predictions, i.e., to decide on a God-pleasing way of life, they must by no means feel compelled to do so, and thus the predictions must be conveyed to them in a way which does not influence their free will. They are spoken by human mouths on behalf of God, and every religious person will undoubtedly believe God’s servant, yet generally little faith will be placed in his statements because people consider the prediction of great events to be impossible as well as the fact that God Himself expresses Himself about future things through seers and prophets. However, since people are only made aware of forthcoming events in their spiritual interest for the sake of their work on their souls, individual people are given the ability to see into the future, which, however, cannot be generalised, but only those in God’s service can be believed, which is why people should not presume to want to reveal future things who have not been commissioned by God to do so. God’s spirit must make known to them what is to be revealed to their fellow human beings, and these revelations must be combined with admonitions for a God-pleasing way of life, otherwise they are pointless if not harmful, for God does not let seers and prophets arise amongst people in order to satisfy earthly curiosity. But since humanity’s spiritual low necessitates a Judgment people will be warned beforehand and the knowledge about the development of earthly events will be made accessible to them, yet always in connection with people’s spiritual good, which is why seers and prophets will always arise amongst people if people are in danger of falling prey to a coming Judgment and they should still remember their souls before it is too late. But anyone who is called by God to work for Him on earth is also given the gift by God to predict future things. And they can be fully believed, for soon the evidence will also be provided to them, for all predictions will come true ….

Amen

It will remain an eternal battle between light and darkness, i.e., eternities will pass until the light has completely overcome the darkness and only an infinite kingdom of light exists where no more darkness can enter. But then there will also no longer be a battle of spirits against each other but deepest love will unite all spiritual beings in their common work for God. The striving for perfection will never cease and thus a new basis will have been created for the activity of all beings in the spiritual kingdom …. For this will then no longer apply to the redemption of erring souls, because the kingdom of light only contains redeemed souls, but it is a mutual spurring on to ever greater perfection, a constant uniting of the equally mature spiritual and intensified activity through constantly increased strength, which is exclusively used for approaching God …. to lively activity of love, for activity in love will eternally remain the first law in the spiritual kingdom. But it mainly turns to the creation and shaping of spiritual creations, to the happiness of spiritually like-minded souls which unite in order to let new creations arise by means of increased strength, which in turn help other spiritual beings to ever higher perfection. It is an incessant life, i.e. constant activity in the most light-filled surroundings, yet driven by the desire for the face of God, for His love and His word, for constant emanation of God, which triggers unspeakable happiness. And this desire is constantly fulfilled and yet never decreases, for God’s love will always remain worth striving for even for the most light-filled, perfect spiritual being, and therefore beatitude will also never end, the beings in the spiritual kingdom will be blissfully happy for eternity ….

Amen

The power of love is great and it is victorious. And if the human being feels weak, then his love is not strong enough, otherwise strength would flow through him and he would be master of every situation. For love forces everything and even wins over its opponent …. It awakens requited love, provided it does not prematurely give up the fight, i.e., provided the human being does not slacken in his wooing of his fellow human being’s love. Then he forfeits strength, the other side, the fellow human being, is stronger than him, he does not use the power of love, which forces everything and can never be unsuccessful. It must set itself an aim, but this aim must also correspond to God’s will insofar as it does not exclude or exceed love for God, and love for God requires complete submission to His will. Thus love can certainly be directed towards the neighbour and aim at uniting with Him, yet the strongest desire should always be offered to God and from His hand should be accepted what He gives to the human being. And depending on the strength of love and faith the power of love and faith will also appear …. love will be victorious …. because God Himself as the eternal Love is now active and He wins for Himself what He once seized in love. Love is something divine which can never be without power, and no one can resist love. However, a union of love can only take place when God Himself approves of it, when He Himself joins this union by deeming it beneficial for the human being’s soul, when it does not endanger its development. But this is never the case when the human being submits himself to divine will without resistance. Then his soul will no longer be in danger, and then God can and will grant him what his heart desires, He will let love flare up, He will unite Himself with the human being and all resistance will be given up, for if God Himself wants to take possession He will no longer be denied love, and the bond will be firm and of eternal duration, because love is the greatest power ….

Amen
