Luminous phenomenon before the catastrophe ….

B.D. 4359 from July 1st 1948, taken from Book No. 51

My intervention will be preceded by a major spiritual campaign, which will be intended to fortify the faith of My Own and will be a final indication of the forthcoming natural event. My heavenly messengers will be instructed to show themselves to My Own in the shape of luminous phenomena which clearly and distinctly can be seen in the firmament so that all self-deception is excluded, and My Own will detect the same phenomenon whereas unbelievers will see nothing and ridicule all references to them as fantasies.

And this will be the last sign …. Then you will be able to safely prepare yourselves for the hour of My manifestation through the elements of nature. Then let go of all earthly things and just take care of your souls …. Then receive My Word with complete devotion, let Me speak to you in the Word and form a deep and heartfelt bond with Me so that I can be present with you in utmost hardship which will befall you very soon afterwards. Then just take care of those around you who fearfully observe the changes in nature, briefly explain it to them and refer them to Me, speak of Me as a God of love Who looks after every person and excludes no-one who calls to Him for help ….

And then wait for Me, don’t be afraid when My voice resounds with such force that people will tremble …. Stay calm and collected and know that nothing will happen to you if it is not My will, and that I have promised you My protection if you unite with Me in prayer. Then I will be present with you and you will distinctly feel My closeness …. And then that which I have proclaimed to you through My spirit will be fulfilled …. For My Word is and remains eternal truth ….

Amen

Parable of the good shepherd ….

B.D. 4360 from July 2nd 1948, taken from Book No. 51

I want to give you a parable, and you should learn from this how I want My Word to be understood: My earthly children are like a flock of scattered sheep which an enemy’s ill will had chased from the shepherd’s view into all directions. And the shepherd, who loves his sheep, goes in search for them. He looks for them in the most hidden places, he scales mountains and clambers down gorges, he calls and cajoles and does not rest until his flock is rounded up again. He helps the lambs that lost their way and cannot return by themselves, he follows the long tracks where they already went too far, he takes the tired lambs and carries them back on his shoulders, he leaves none to their fate, to his enemy, who might rob him of it and add it to his own flock. Because he knows his sheep, and his sheep know him and follow his voice …. And the good shepherd’s heart rejoices when he has found all his sheep again, when his full flock is in his stable, when every lost lamb has found its way home ….

You all are My sheep, you belong to My flock, which nevertheless has free run and therefore can also go astray if it strives for another goal but Me. The hostile shepherd is My adversary who tries to turn you away from Me. And he will often succeed …. My sheep stray from the path I take with My flock, they seek to scale the heights …. You humans seek honour and riches and for their sake leave the path. You fall into ravines and pits, vices and lusts capture you, step by step you descend into the abyss and can be grateful if you get caught by hedges and undergrowth …. if second thoughts arise in you which you don’t ignore and are thus spared the deepest fall until your Saviour arrives.

Still others graze in strange pastures; they go astray and don’t find their way back to their stable …. These are the people who thoughtlessly wander through earthly life, who are beneficiaries of actions which do not correspond to My will but give them great earthly advantage. They do not deem themselves bad, they are half-hearted, neither for nor against Me, they wander through the earthly valley oblivious of their earthly task, they have to be startled and chased back, so that they take refuge in My arms again Who, as a good shepherd, is ready to receive them at anytime.

I have to search for My lost lambs everywhere …. My call has to be heard everywhere and thus My voice has to sound time and again …. time and again I have to approach people in My Word and call them back into the Father’s house. My Word is the call of the good shepherd, My Word is conveyed to human beings with love, My Word penetrates into all corners, wherever it finds entry into people’s hearts. And anyone who does not follow My call will stray ever more or descend ever deeper …. And yet, the arm of the good shepherd will reach him one day, even if it takes ages …. Even the person who has resisted Me for a long time will return to Me one day …. one day he will tire of his wrong path and allow Me to lift him onto My shoulders, one day he, too, will willingly follow the good shepherd, the sound of His voice will entice him …. He will recognise it as the Father’s voice and follow Me, and I will guide him into the Father’s house and prepare a feast for joy for him of finding again what had been lost ….

Amen

Power of satan before the end ….

B.D. 4361 from July 3rd 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The demonic influence is particularly strong in the last days before the end and you humans will inevitably become ensnared by it if you don’t turn to Me and seek My support. The adversary is granted great power which he uses in every way and even exceeds the limits of his authority. Yet the power is not given to him by Me but people themselves grant it to him because they do not defend themselves although they are able to do so because they have abundant strength and help at their disposal from Me. And since the human being’s will is decisive they give My adversary the upper hand themselves. But I do not diminish his power but likewise leave no means untried to persuade people to turn to Me and thus to escape My adversary’s power. Loving beings on earth as well as in the beyond support Me and likewise try to influence people, again and again presenting My love for My living creations to them and My willingness to help if people feel too weak to offer resistance. All dangers of the world are shown to people and at the same time the high aim is presented to them so that they shall decide between Me and My adversary. But he already believes himself to be the victor and will nevertheless succumb to them and with him his followers whom he will drag into the abyss. The last battle will be waged with all fierceness and he will win many who will defect from Me and join his camp, for his power is great. But again and again I tell you that you can acquire far greater power if you approach Me for it. I only wait for your call, for your prayer, in order to be able to strengthen you, for as soon as your will turns towards Me, as soon as you speak to Me in thought and send up a pleading appeal to Me, you will be helped. And if you have to go through adversity then understand that it is only a means to induce you to make this plea, because without adversity you think too little of Me and easily run the risk of eliminating Me, and then My adversary will have an easy time with you. But you should defend yourselves, then you will not be defeated either, because even the smallest counter will secures My strength for you, which you can increase indefinitely yourselves. Don’t fall prey to the demons, don’t grant them the victory which is only a supposed one, for in the end I will remain victorious after all, and My own will rejoice and triumph and receive the reward of their loyalty …. And My adversary will be bound and with him all who were in bondage to him, and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth ….

Amen

Original state …. fall …. love …. perfection …. will ….

B.D. 4362 from July 4th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You fulfil My incessant striving for your love if you let the flame of love flare up within you and express it in active neighbourly love. Then you join Me, then you are Mine, because you have now adjusted your nature to My original nature again, from which you emerged. For you are the product of My love, and what gives birth to love can only ever be love again. Yet as a freely placed being with free will you were also able to change and invert your nature, otherwise you would have been imperfect creatures if you had to remain in the state in which I created you. For this is the sign of the perfect, that it is full of power and strength in possession of free will. How it now uses the will as well as the power is left to the being itself. The fact that the use was now contrary to My will only earned the being itself the withdrawal of strength and free will, because as a divine creature it could not remain imperfect but was offered an opportunity by My never-ending love to change again into perfection. If it now wants to reach this original state again, it must become again what it was …. Love …. And thus the feeling of love can never be something contradictory to My will, just like all actions which are carried out on the basis of this feeling. Love is what stamps the human being into a God-like being, love is also the bearer of strength, and the being will be powerful again if it has shaped itself into love. Love wants to be active, it wants to create and build up, and love will never want to destroy or take anything away, therefore the being’s original state was bliss in its fullest measure …. The fact that the being created by Me was able to fall even though it was endowed with the richest power of realization can be explained by the fact that the love for Me and self-love were equally inherent in the being, because the free decision was necessary, for the being was created perfect and first had to prove itself through a test by striving for perfection itself. Thus it had to be able to fall into the abyss, just as it was able to assert itself in the height through wrong or right use of its will and its strength …. The beingness, which is embodied as a human being or in the creations of earth, failed …. and its love became a wrong love …. self-love prevailed and the being fell. For this reason love must be correctly directed, it must be meant for Me and express itself again as strength, the being in the stage of free will must use the vitality at its disposal in giving, constructive activity, in unselfish neighbourly love, and this is the purpose and aim of earthly life, that the human being shapes himself into love in order to accept his original being again and become partaker of eternal bliss. Therefore, don’t suffocate the little flame of love if it flares up in you, nourish it and let it become a bright flame which spills over into eternal love, which makes you perfect beings, which you have been since the beginning ….

Amen

Prayer: "For the sake of Jesus Christ", "in His name …."

B.D. 4363 from July 4th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

He who allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross turns all love towards people who call to Him for help. He will not leave anyone in distress, for He has spoken the words to you: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He will help you carry the cross, He will take the burden upon Himself for you, He will stand by you in word and deed if you believe in Him and that He died for you, that He suffered so that you need not suffer. You should turn to Him, for He Himself calls you with the words: “Come to Me ….” He promises you His support, His comfort and His strengthening. And so heed this call and accept His offer of love. He will truly not let you plead in vain, He will be your comforter in adversity and suffering and take the burden from your shoulders which weighs you down because He loves you. His love is unchanging, it is divine love which knows no limitation, He does not apply the measure of people but knows no measure, He gives where only His grace is required, and you can entrust yourselves to His love. And therefore you should always turn to Him when you need help, for He and the father are one, the father of eternity has chosen His shell as abode, He has united Himself with Him for eternity. And thus you call upon the father when you call upon Jesus Christ, you call upon the most powerful spirit from eternity Who can truly fulfil everything for you and also wants to fulfil everything in order to testify to His love and His power. He embodied Himself in the man Jesus, He Himself spoke the words through Him to you: “Come to Me, all of you.” And thus every call you make to the cross-bearer Jesus Christ is meant for the father Himself from eternity …. And thus you will not make a wrong request, for the sake of Jesus Christ you will be helped in every spiritual and earthly adversity. In His name you should pray, for His name is blessed for all eternity, and whoever speaks His name in all devotion will also feel the blessing of the name upon him …. He will be helped, he will receive what he asks of God for the sake of His hallowed name. Therefore call upon Him when you are in need, remember His words and keep in mind that they were spoken in love and will also be kept in love, for His promise also says: If you ask the father in My name, He will give it to you ….

Amen

Union with God …. renunciation ….

B.D. 4364 from July 5th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The complete union with Me gladly and joyfully lets you renounce everything that belongs to the world. For then your soul will already be in the spiritual kingdom, it will feel My nearness, it will feel My strength and be permeated by My love, and everything earthly will sink into nothing, even if it still lives on earth. Its desire for Me is so strong that it no longer listens to the body if it still harbours worldly desires. But what belongs to the world prevents the soul from uniting with Me, and you humans can judge from this what you should avoid and what you should strive for. As long as the connection with Me is maintained, as long as your desire is for Me and spiritual contact, as long as you desire to be taught by Me, as long as you communicate with Me and entrust all your needs and worries to Me, you will not be in danger of falling prey to the world, for then I will own you and I will truly no longer allow My possession to be disputed. But the world will no longer be desirable for you, even though it demands the tribute from you, which you have to give because you stand in the midst of the world and have to maintain your place until I Myself relieve you. But if there is a danger that you will forget Me above the world, if you are willing to give Me up in exchange for something earthly, then caution is advised, then watch and pray so that the tempter will not overpower you. I am always close to you, but if you do not call Me I will not come forth for your sake either. I will not deny you anything as long as there is no danger for your soul, yet for the sake of this I must sometimes take away what you possess in order to induce you into a close bond with Me. Therefore you should be careful and flee everything that belongs to the world if you want to possess Me completely, if you strive to unite with Me. You only give up a little, but what you receive will compensate you a thousand fold. Flee the world so that you may take the spiritual kingdom in return, which is far more glorious and offers manifold joys and bliss. And be content with what I give you, for if I give you meagrely on earth I have a far more beautiful life in eternity in store for you, for I give you what the world can never offer you if you voluntarily give it up and ask for nothing more than just to be united with Me ….

Amen

Free will …. Destiny ….

B.D. 4365 from July 6th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Nothing happens in human life that doesn’t affect eternity. Every action, every omission, every thought, every direction of will has an effect on the soul’s development, and therefore everything that occurs in human life belongs within the scope of destiny. The human being has free will and the use of this will is decisive for eternity. Every deed or omission, every thought, is first preceded by will, and its decision determines his course of life. For although he is unable to control every event in an earthly way, since God has reserved the right for Himself to direct his course of life according to wise judgment, his will has nevertheless already been taken into account and forms the basis of his destiny. The human being’s free will is being doubted because it cannot always carry out its intention, yet the intention cannot be denied the human being even if the opportunity to implement it has been removed from him. The direction the will takes determines the soul’s development, the failure of a once prepared plan does not revoke the will, and for this will the human being has to be answerable one day, even if the implementation did not come about. Changing a wrongly orientated will into the right direction is the purpose and task in life. And this is why even the slightest happening benefits this change of will and is God’s will or permission, regardless of whether it is the result of a wrongly or correctly used will. And thus it should be understandable to you humans that you will have to accept every stroke of fate as being predetermined a long time ago and only conducive to your higher development. You must therefore ask yourselves to what extent it was encouraged by your will and whether this will was right or wrong, to what extent it corresponded to divine will and thus you must try to derive a benefit from even the smallest experience, so that your destiny will truly affect you in an educational way and, if it is arduous, will also be successful for your life in the beyond. You are always in God’s hands, that is, He takes care of your course of life, after all, He wants to draw you close to Him and win you for eternity. If you accept everything from His hand, always remembering that they are educational means which are used by a loving Father for His children, then you will always want, think, speak and act according to His will, and your earthly life will not be lived in vain, for then you submit yourselves to God’s will and can’t help yourselves but use your free will correctly …. as your task in life requires ….

Mediation – responsibility …. invitation to communion ….

B.D. 4366 from July 7th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The office of mediator is a responsible one, and anyone who is to carry it out must have a strong will to constantly establish the connection with the spiritual kingdom, to constantly let Me speak in the word and to constantly distribute what he receives from Me. He shall impart from Me to people who do not come to Me themselves and whom I want to help to find Me. He shall make My will known to them and thus serve Me by doing the work as My servant which has to be done in order to make human hearts receptive for My emanation of love, for My word with its strength. For without the latter they cannot become blessed. Human hearts have to be worked, like fields they have to be cultivated and inseminated so that the field will bear fruit at harvest time. It is work which has to be carried out by people who represent Me on earth, for it is My word which is to be planted as seed in people’s hearts. I Myself must speak to them, however, through you, because I Myself cannot yet express Myself until the human being has reached a certain degree of maturity of the soul. As long as you have to represent Me on earth, as long as people have to speak to people, yet on My behalf and with My support. And if you want to be faithful labourers for Me, servants who only carry out their master’s will, your work will also be blessed, it will not be done unsuccessfully but the seed will sprout and bring forth glorious fruits. Yet you must not become lukewarm and indifferent in your activity for Me and My kingdom, and therefore you also bear a great responsibility once you have placed yourselves in My service …. You must let Me speak to you so that you can speak …. And this has to be caused by your own will that I express Myself to you, for contrary to your will you will not hear My voice. And therefore you have to let your will become active again and again, for My word will only sound in you if you turn your heart upwards of your own accord, if you open your heart and ear and thus prepare yourselves for the reception of My word. I will hear the slightest call and heed it, I will not leave your desire unsatisfied, I will always come to you if you open the door of your heart to Me and desire to be fed by Me Myself. I will always keep the lord’s supper with you and thus distribute it in order to give you the opportunity to administer your mediatorship, in order to impart to you the gifts which you yourselves shall now distribute to the poor in spirit …. I need you, you My servants on earth, you should carry the invitations out into the world and call everyone to the lord’s supper, for I want to fill everyone with the bread of life, I want to feed everyone with the food they need in order to successfully cover the pilgrimage on earth. Bear the news to them that the table is laid, that everyone shall feast on it and that they cannot become blissfully happy without My nourishment …. Convey My word to them and be such faithful workers for Me, whom I will reward one day, as I have promised ….

Amen

Crossroads …. inner voice …. right guides ….

B.D. 4367 from July 8th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Man goes his own way and for the most part does not keep to the direction that is given to him. He also has no fixed aim in mind but relies on luck that the path will lead him to where he hopes to find advantage. And this aimless wandering leads astray, for invisible forces push him away from the right path as soon as they are not resisted, and he hands it over to himself as long as he lets himself drift. His willpower is small and will also be lacking if he comes to a crossroads and has to decide which path to choose. Then he chooses the most comfortable one and does not consider that a flat path does not lead to the height which he must reach if his earthly course is not to have been in vain. But if he would pay attention to the inner voice he could certainly make the right decision, for it always announces itself when the human being’s will is undecided and gives him the right direction in which he should move. This voice also presents to him the advantages of the path he cannot take, and truly not unclear or unfounded. Anyone who allows himself to be warned or instructed by it is doing the right thing, for the inner voice is an expression of the right guide Who knows all paths and wants to lead the human being to the aim by the shortest route. But anyone who disregards the voice, who ignores it or acts against it despite better knowledge, must also accept the consequences of his own actions and will. Although he will sometimes walk more easily, his path will be long and unsuccessful and lead away from the aim, for this can only be reached by an arduous path, and only overcome resistance will allow the human being to mature his soul, for earthly life remains a struggle if it is to be successful for the soul ….

Transformation of earth …. Change …. Disintegration ….

B.D. 4368 from July 8th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You must always remember that nothing on this earth can last forever, and therefore even earth itself will not last, thus it has to change if it will not completely disintegrate in its fundamental substance. The latter will occur after an infinitely long time, but a transformation of earth will take place shortly. Just as earthly matter achieves its higher development through the dissolution of an existing form in order to rise again in a new form, so the earth as such is also subject to temporary changes, and all creations on earth will enter a new stage of development. Not just the constrained spirits within every work of creation strive to ascend but matter itself has to undergo this path of higher development by becoming increasingly softer, thus sheltering the spirit which, due to its maturity, is able to escape its form faster. Consequently hard matter, which has already existed for a very long time, has to be dissolved eventually too. Its development has to be continued in softer matter and new hard matter needs to be produced to shelter the spiritual substance which, in the stage of knowledge …. as a human being …. had failed and joined God’s adversary.

Such total transformations of earth’s external forms only take place within certain periods of time and are therefore unbelievable to people, because each such transformation happened so long ago that the truth can no longer be ascertained and upheld. Although a developmental period is infinitely long it will nevertheless come to an end one day.

People cannot verify or calculate the time when the end can be expected and neither can they deny it, but God wants people to believe in it because He Himself has revealed it to people through His Word and, through seers and prophets, has pointed it out time and again. That the destruction of earth, i.e. its total change, is only a matter of faith is due to the fact that the human being has to bring about the change of his soul in utmost freedom of will, and this would be instantly restricted if the timing of the end could be calculated. The beginning and end of an earth period are so far apart because the human being has to decide to believe it or reject it completely, without being forced into either. But as soon as he thinks about it and observes the growth and decay in nature he can see the process of disintegration and transformation repeat themselves so often that he will also apply this change to the creation ‘earth’ and find it easy to believe in an end. But he will never be told when it will happen because such knowledge would be detrimental to the soul. God, however, reveals that the end of this earth is approaching soon and good for him who believes His Word and prepares himself. The day will not come unexpectedly for him; the thought of the end will no longer terrify him in view of the blissful state God has promised His Own after the transformation of this earth ….

New earth …. creations …. paradise ….

B.D. 4369 from July 10th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The new earth will again be shaped according to God’s infinite love and His unsurpassable wisdom. All creations are again bearers of the spiritual, which can now continue its interrupted course of development and also bring it to a speedy end, because matter is of a shorter life span, i.e., it is also in constant change; the becoming and passing away changes in a shorter time, and therefore the spiritual can very quickly leave the form and move into the next form. And again, the task of every single work of creation is to serve the preservation of other creations. The people of the new earth will be constantly active in an overwhelming will of love and thus also need all works of creation so that they can fully fulfil their serving task. In addition, matter itself will also have no great resistance, with the exception of the hard matter of the fundamental creation, which, since it contains the God-opposing spiritual within itself, which was condemned to a new banishment, is an almost indestructible mass, which would again need endless time to dissolve, if God in His great mercy did not accelerate the release according to the wise plan for the spiritual to be redeemed.

(10.7.1948) On the new earth the transformation of the spiritual can go faster because people have already reached a degree of maturity that even the still bound spiritual in the animal and plant world voluntarily submits to them. It senses people’s love and therefore gives up resistance much more easily, it serves them voluntarily even if it is under the law of compulsion and therefore also progresses more quickly upwards. And so matter on the new earth is also more quickly transient, i.e., the coming into being and passing away of ever new creations is in rapid succession, but therefore all creations are also particularly attractive to look at, and they delight people in their versatility and eye-pleasing forms. Anyone who still inhabited the old earth, thus belongs to the raptured on the day of judgment, cannot marvel enough at the variety and glories of the new earth, and it is a true paradise for him because only good forces are at work and any influence by forces turned away from God is impossible. These people will best be able to measure and appreciate the wonders of God, for they still remember the old earth with all its good and bad. The following generations will only hear about the old earth and, the further time advances, the more self-evidently they will look at the creations of the new earth, and thus the love for God will then also wane, although a long time will pass where the new earth can still be called a paradise, where love dwells amongst people and God Himself dwells amongst His own. To experience this time is truly worth even the most difficult earthly life, for God Himself has set a limit for people, He will keep His tribe turned towards Himself and faithfully guide it through suffering and adversity until the end of this earth. And He will shorten the time so that His own will become blissfully happy. But everything will be forgotten by the inhabitants of the new earth, for beatitude will outweigh the time of tribulation a thousand fold. And therefore the admonition must be called out to people again and again: Hold out and remain faithful to God …. He will reward you eternally …. and His love will give you strength if you need it ….

Amen

Words of God to "servants" on earth …. representatives ….

B.D. 4370 from July 10th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

As long as you reject My word you cannot call yourselves My servants either, for they truly know the voice of their lord. But you must also never assume that I withhold the ability to recognize My word from you, that you do not have the gift to understand My word as I want it to be understood, instead, you must feel guilty insofar as that you only pass on spiritual knowledge adopted by people without first having asked Me for enlightenment of the spirit. But if I send you My messengers who are to announce My word, My will, to you, you must not reject them without seriously examining them, for you are always obliged to examine them, no matter from which side spiritual knowledge is offered to you. Accepting unchecked knowledge will cause you to fall into error, and this applies in particular to knowledge acquired through study which is passed on to you as it comes forth from people. And you should always consult Me when you approach an examination of spiritual knowledge. I will certainly not leave you in wrong thinking if you are seriously interested in truth. But how can you assume that I don’t speak to people when you know about My promise that I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth …. My love for you and My concern for your salvation is so great that I also offer you the truth without this desire for truth …. whether you want to accept it is up to you, you will not be forced to do so but only lovingly admonished by Me to listen to My messengers and then rely on your inner voice which will truly guide you correctly. Approach the examination of what is offered to you as the only truth without any prejudice. Don’t fear the influence of demonic forces but consider that only love is ever placed in the foreground, that the word conveyed to earth from above is nothing other than Christ’s pure teaching of love as it was taught on earth and as it was recorded by My first disciples. Whatever deviates from this truth offered by Me has been added or wrongly interpreted by people, and therefore I always impart the unadulterated truth to you, I enlighten you as I want My word to be understood and constantly only seek to instruct you in the pure truth so that you will reach the aim through the truth, so that you will gain eternal life through it. If you want to be My servants then you first have to acquire the pure truth yourselves, you have to be properly instructed yourselves in order to be able to teach properly. And you have chosen a responsible office for yourselves, you want to lead people to Me and I bless this will. But so that you will also be able to do so I will show you the right way to accept the knowledge you want to spread from Me. And if you are Mine you will also recognize My voice or I will reject you as My representatives on earth. For if you want to be of service you must obey your lord and comply with His will …. Yet your will is free, I can only warn and admonish you, but I will never forcibly try to determine you ….

Amen

Signs before the catastrophe (Anxiety of people and animals) ….

B.D. 4371 from July 11th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

People will be seized by immense anxiety shortly before I appear through the forces of nature. The event will announce itself such that people and animals will feel nervous and inwardly sense that something is about to happen in nature. Strange behaviour amongst animals will be particularly apparent, they will attempt to flee in a certain direction and suddenly turn back as if driven by an invisible power. And this behaviour will cause apprehension in people who realise that imminent danger is approaching against which they cannot defend themselves.

And thus everyone will worriedly wait for what is to come. And you, My servants on earth, should make good use of this time for it will be a short reprieve when people will still listen to your words because they will be looking for an explanation for the unusual sensations experienced by people and beasts. Then draw their attention to My Word, prepare them for My appearance and refer them to Me so that they will take refuge with Me when the hour has come that I will speak. At the same time you should unite with Me in thought so that you may be strong and able to support those who are unbelieving or of little faith.

You have to prove yourselves and will be able to do so if you call to Me in advance and in the hours of greatest need. I will draw your attention to the signs in advance and give you the opportunity to observe your environment so that you will see that everything I told you will come to pass, that an oppressive feeling and restlessness will burden people, the cause of which you know and thus you will be able to speak effectively where necessary. And once again you will experience a situation where the person who lives in love will believe you, whereas the heartless person, although listening to you, will derive no benefit from it. Until the hour comes when I will speak from above …. And there will be raging and gusting in the air, no one will take notice of the other any longer but only be concerned for his own life. Every person will try to escape but hear the same raging and gusting from all directions and, depending on his attitude to Me, he will be affected by the event …. he will stay alive or be killed by the natural disaster, as My wisdom has recognised and determined since eternity ….

Even though it is seemingly calm and there are no recognisable signs as yet …. do not believe that you are safe because the day of the natural event will come without fail, and the unbeliever will be able to see it for himself, if he still has time to think about it …. I have spoken and revealed it to you through My spirit, and I will speak through nature with a voice which can be heard by everyone. Anyone who does not believe the first voice will have to hear My voice from above …. But even then he will be at liberty to witness it as a mere play of nature or remember My predictions and believe that I want to reveal Myself so that you, who do not acknowledge the voice of the spirit, should hear Me. And blessed is he whose life is spared as he will still have a short time of grace at his disposal which he will be able to use to make up for what he has neglected up to then, in order to prepare himself for the end, which will soon follow the event in nature ….

Amen

The right prayer …. 'Father, Your will be done ….'

B.D. 4372 from July 11th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

No prayer rising up to Me in complete trust of My help is in vain. For this trust testifies to faith in My love and My might. And through such prayer a person has also established the right relationship with Me …. he approaches Me like a child to its father. A father, however, will never deny himself to his child unless the child appeals to him for something completely unwholesome in which case the father will protect it but also instruct it accordingly so that the child’s trust will not be disappointed. This instruction happens in a way that second thoughts will arise in a person as to whether his prayer was appropriate, that he doubts his right to make such a request, and then a true child will always add to its request ‘Father, Your will be done ….’ And I will grant what is good for him and satisfy his wish in a different way, for My love wants to give and please if I Am called upon in the right way. This is why you should always try to increase your strength of faith, for then the fulfilment of every wish will be granted to you. Greater strength of faith will always be accompanied by ever more activity of love, more activity of love assures you increased knowledge, and thus a person who is knowledgeable and lives in truth will not appeal for something which is harmful to him and therefore always find fulfilment because he believes. You should know that you cannot but think correctly if you gained the right faith through love and, in this state, send a prayer up to Me. Remember My promise ‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ….’ And thus you may at all times present your wishes to Me as true children and I will never disappoint your faith ….

Amen

Faculty of judgement dependent on love life ….

B.D. 4373 from July 12th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Anyone who wants to test and judge the value of what is offered to him through My impartation has to be in love himself if he wants to be capable of testing, otherwise every person would pass a different judgment but always rejecting it, for love alone enables a person to seriously test with truthful success. The serious will can certainly exist to think correctly and thus want to eliminate what does not correspond to truth, yet only love enlightens the spirit, and only then will much be understandable to the human being which he previously did not grasp and therefore rejected. Without love his ability to judge is weak, his thinking is on the wrong track, his view is clouded for everything that is right and true, he is still too subject to the influence of those beings who fight the truth and will therefore fight against that which is guided to earth by forces of the kingdom of light, and therefore his judgment can never be legally binding and need not frighten or influence the representative of pure truth. Just pay attention to whether a person is lovingly active if you want to assess the value of his objections and the credibility of his claims. Don’t be misled if you are attacked by doubters or scoffers, and only take the judgement of someone seriously who leads an exemplary life of love and who is serious about the pure truth. You should listen to him and debate with him and you will succeed in convincing him of the truth of what I communicate to the human being through you. You will win him as a follower of My teaching, he will become a convinced believer and stand up for the pure truth from Me. Again and again you will have to resist sharp objections, again and again you will have the opportunity to outdo a person’s acuity of intellect as long as he is not in love at the same time, for love sees more sharply than the brightest intellect, and the most difficult problem can easily be solved by a loving heart, it recognizes and understands everything that is incomprehensible to the other person and therefore its judgment alone is legally binding.

(12.7.1948) If hostile resistance now arises against you, if your spiritual work and its results are portrayed as erroneous, your own thought product, if they want to prove you wrong, don’t shrink back and don’t let yourselves be intimidated but let them speak and express their opinion and you will find many points of attack which will give you the opportunity to refute everything they put forward. And I Myself will put the words into your mouth and be a sharp opponent to them, Whom they cannot overrule. And again and again you are told that you can beat them at any time if you stand up for Me and My teaching, for then they will no longer have you as an opponent but Me Myself, and they will truly be no match for Me, no matter how clever and superior they think they are. I will win over those who earnestly strive for the truth, but those who only want to hostile you or render you harmless will only expect defeat but no gain if they presume to criticize My word and pass judgement, which they are incapable of doing. Then he will not attack you but Me Myself if he takes a stand against My word, and therefore I will also answer him through you if it is necessary ….

Amen

The Flood …. Last days …. Worldly progress ….

B.D. 4374 from July 13th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Shortly before the end it will be just like it was at the time of the Flood. People will have a great liking for all worldly pleasures, they will indulge their physical longings and vices, they will lead an immoral and unethical way of life and send no thought to the One above, Who is Lord over heaven and earth. For they will have no more faith …. The spiritual level will be the lowest ever since the beginning of this developmental period. Mocking and blaspheming they will confront the few believers with hostility, pursue them and deny them everything they need for living. They themselves, however, will feast and gorge themselves, they will live and love …. but their love will be

false and their way of life wrong, for the devil’s servants will populate the earth in the last days, and the disintegration of earth will merely end a state which no longer allows people’s higher development.

It will be a time of sinfulness which will go beyond all imagination. God will be completely displaced and those who believe in Him will be in danger of being killed …. And God Himself will put an end to this period, the last day will arrive suddenly and unexpectedly amid the ecstasy of the world in which the people of the last days constantly live …. Hence, prior to this an apparent progress will be noticeable, everything of a worldly nature will be offered to people, their demand for worldly things will be extreme and everyone will unscrupulously grant himself whatever his mind desires; the strong will fight the weak and the winner will be the one who heartlessly acquires what he doesn’t deserve, because he is supported by Satan himself who bestows material favours on him and incites him to increased enjoyment of life.

Sin will escalate to an alarming extent and Judgment will come to pass when no-one expects it. For once people have reached this level of development they will have to be devoured by the earth, as they will have become true servants of the devil and completely deny God. And then the hour of accountability will come to all sinners, the day of God’s Justice will arrive, the Day of Judgment will come to all who belong to God’s adversary and the day of Recompense for the few who are faithful to God, who persevere and don’t fall prey to the temptations of the world …. as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture …. A salvation period will come to an end because humanity will be ready for its downfall.

Amen

Office of the right servants of God ….

B.D. 4375 from July 14th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

I have assigned an office to each one of you who want to serve Me, which you shall carry out conscientiously so that I can bless you as My servants and receive you into My kingdom as faithful servants when your hour has come for Me to separate the soul from the body. For your stay on this earth is no longer of long duration, even if you experience the last end. The world is now already ripe for destruction, yet a few souls are still to be saved, for which I need you. And this alone is your task, that you spread the truth which you receive directly from Me. This is why again and again I lead people to you to whom you should proclaim My gospel, to whom you should draw attention to My working on you and to whom you can give clarification to questions they ask concerning their afterlife and the purpose of their earthly life. There are many questioning people for whom a correct answer is a great help in their spiritual development, and for their sake I still hesitate with the last work of destruction and give them time and opportunity to find Me. But you, My servants on earth, must take care of these people, for I can only speak to them through human mouths and give them the right answer. Take this task seriously and be faithful co-workers with Me in the short time you still have on earth. For soon the time will be over, soon you will have overcome what oppresses you, soon you will be allowed to receive the reward I have promised you as My co-workers …. soon suffering and hardship will have come to an end. Believe this and create and work and make use of every opportunity to inform your fellow human beings that they should also prepare themselves for a speedy end. Inform them, even if you don’t find faith, and consider that every unused opportunity can mean the loss of a soul, that you can bring light into the spiritual darkness so that the soul finds the path which leads to Me. And thus be diligent in your activity, put your spiritual work before every earthly work. And the latter will also be blessed to you so that you can easily master it with My support, for I need you for spiritual cooperation and bless you if you serve Me conscientiously and joyfully ….

Amen

God's care for His servants ….

B.D. 4376 from July 15th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You will travel the path by My hand until the end and no worry need oppress you if only you believe. You have entered My service, consequently I also take over all care for you, both earthly and spiritually. I possess your will to become Mine, thus you are not compulsorily determined by Me to want, think and act, yet I direct this will, which you have placed under My control yourselves, to think, want and act correctly. Thus you will always do what is beneficial for your salvation and you can confidently drop every worry which still applies to your earthly life. I determine your further life, I arrange it according to your mission for Me, for you still have a great deal of work to do, and so that you can accomplish it I will take special care of you, so that your earthly path will not be too arduous, so that you can happily and cheerfully carry out the work for Me and My kingdom. And thus you need not worry about the way you should spread My word, I already walk the paths with you where you are compelled to speak, and you need not do anything else but follow the inner urge, that is, to speak if you feel impelled to do so from within or to remain silent if you feel moved to do so. It is always My voice which tells you to do something or not to do something, and you should only ever follow the inner urge, then it will also be right how you act, then I can work in you and do it because you want to fulfil My will, and thus I place My will into your heart.

(15.7.1948) I want to help you achieve inner peace so that you can carry out your work for Me undisturbed, because it is unspeakably important in the coming time. Consider this and believe that I want to give you inner peace for the sake of your work and that therefore all worry is superfluous. What you need, you will receive; what is withheld from you, you don’t need, for I know the benefit and harm of all things for your soul and truly give to you as it is beneficial. Whoever wants to follow Me, let him take up his cross …. so don’t let your little cross you believe you have to carry be pressed down either, burden Me with even the smallest load if you need help, I am always willing to take it off your shoulders, but be diligent in your work for Me and My kingdom. As you measure out, so shall it be measured out to you, therefore give spiritual gifts to your fellow human beings so that their souls need not go hungry, and show them much love so that they will imitate your example and thus be won over for My kingdom …. and you will receive the same …. What you hand out spiritually and earthly will be repaid to you a thousand fold, earthly you will not need to live in want and spiritually you will be provided for in abundance. And thus you can go your earthly path without worry until the end has come, which is imminent for all of you ….

Serious reminder …. (Silencing of the voice?) ….

B.D. 4377 from July 16th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

A serious reminder is coming to you from above before the turmoil begins which will rob you of all calm deliberation. Get ready, the day is drawing to a close …. Take these words of Mine seriously, don’t pass them by lukewarmly and indifferently but regard them as a final indication of My imminent intervention. And prepare yourselves in all earnestness for the fact that you are approaching an exciting time when My call will seem like a redemption to you, because you feel abandoned by Me, because you no longer hear My word from above. I draw your attention to this time and therefore speak to you once again urgently that you should familiarize yourselves with the thought that a complete change of your situation in life is inevitable and that you will experience great adversity, but that this has to happen before I Myself appear. But then be steadfast and only remain turned towards Me in your heart, call out to Me, and if I don’t hear you, call out louder …. I want your call to reach Me, but I want to be called upon in the heart and pay no attention to what only the mouth speaks. You will not hear Me for a long time because you are unable to listen to My voice within yourselves, yet I am always with you and always ready to help. Therefore your prayer should be heartfelt and trusting in My help, and I will hear you and reveal Myself so that you will have strong faith and endure the earthly adversity.

(16.7.1948) I will give you proof that this will happen, which will convince you. I will reveal Myself to each of you, My servants, in the same way so that you can no longer doubt the truth of My words. You shall hear My voice at the same time which will once again remind you of My words. But I want to strengthen your faith and you shall pass every test of faith; therefore I work on you extraordinarily, even though you do not yet possess the maturity of soul which allows the extraordinary to appear. But it is coming to an end …. And I need you, but you shall stand firm even in the most difficult time, and you shall constantly work for Me and draw strength for it from Me if you can no longer receive it in the form of My word. For at times you will lack every opportunity to withdraw into silence in order to hear My voice which mentally touches you. But the sounding word can sound everywhere and at any time, and therefore you should especially strive for it, and your longing for it shall be awakened when you no longer mentally hear Me. Yet believe that I am nevertheless close to you and know about your desire …. and also meet it as it is beneficial for your soul. But a time will come when you, who have penetrated spiritual knowledge, will also have to pass tests of faith, when you will have to acquire the gift of grace you have received, when I will seemingly withdraw from you but you will force Me to you through firm faith, when I will let Myself be found by the one who earnestly seeks to win Me …. And therefore you should call louder if I don’t answer your soft call, for thereby you prove your faith in Me that you don’t cease to call when I supposedly don’t hear. I open the door to the persistent caller and let him in and he will receive what he desires from Me ….

Amen

Inner voice difficult to hear …. Turmoil – silence ….

B.D. 4378 from July 17th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You will always hear My voice if you hand yourselves over to Me and, with a desire to hear My Word, attentively listen within. I have always given you this assurance and will never withhold with My gift of grace if you sincerely desire it. Yet as long as My voice is not audibly heard by you but only affects you mentally and thus requires full attention and seclusion from the world it will depend on yourselves as to whether you will hear it. This is why I draw your attention to the forthcoming time which will make such great demands on you that only the strongest resolve will be able to manage to withdraw itself and listen to My voice in seclusion. The adversity of the forthcoming time will often deprive you of your inner tranquillity, even though I will help every labourer to fulfil his task if he is willing to serve. I Am always close to you and if you, despite utmost distress, stay aware of My presence, you will always hear My voice too, for then your faith will be stronger than your earthly hardship, which you will banish anytime. Yet I want to draw your attention to the fact that you can expect considerable turmoil which will restrain your every thought with the effect that it will be difficult for you to make contact with Me …. But then read My Word, draw strength from My Word, and you will noticeably feel that I Am close to you ….

Keep trying to retreat within yourselves and, in seclusion, listen to the voice of your heart, and you will succeed if your will and your desire for Me is powerful. But first draw strength from My Word, use the time, don’t become half-hearted and indifferent but believe that great danger lies in wait for you, that you will be shaken out of your worldly tranquillity and that a large world event is in the making. Always rely on My help and you will never call to Me in vain, for I will answer you who, as My children, call upon the Father in your time of need ….

Amen

Last Supper …. Spiritual meaning …. Flesh – blood ….

B.D. 4379 from July 18th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The constant desire for nourishment at the table of the Lord assures you His love …. And thus I repeatedly invite you to take communion with Me, as often as you desire it. My table is always set for all who are hungry and thirsty and want to be refreshed, and they will be able to satisfy themselves with the bread of life, with the manna that comes from heaven. Every nourishment at My table is communion, it is the unification with Me without which the offering of My flesh and My blood …. of My Word and its strength …. cannot take place. Thus you, who receive My Word directly or through My messengers, are communing when you desire to accept My Word in your heart. Then My spirit will unite with the spiritual spark within you, then marriage will take place, the union, the spiritual communion. Then I will give you the bread of heaven Myself, I will give you food and drink, I will take supper with you …. you will experience the same event as My disciples, for whom I broke the bread and offered the wine with the Words: Take and eat, this is my body, take and drink, this is my blood ….

Do you now understand the meaning I attached to these Words? How immensely important it is that you take communion at My table, because My flesh and My blood will give you the strength to reach eternal life. You have to be nourished with food for the soul so that it matures, so that it safeguards its eternal life …. it constantly has to receive strength which it can only receive from Me directly and which I will give every time it unites with Me. Then I will break the bread and offer it to the soul, and when it thus eats My flesh …. My Word …. it is permeated by strength …. the blood …. with which I have blessed My Word. No one who longs for food for the soul, who wants to be My guest, need ever starve and go without …. I will come to him Myself and invite him, I will stand before his door and knock and if he opens it for Me I will enter and take supper with him …. I will feed him at My table and he will be truly satisfied and never need to go without ….

And thus, everything I said on earth should be understood in a spiritual sense. I taught My disciples and they understood Me and carried My Word into the world. And since people were taught correctly they understood and lived in accordance with My will, in accordance with My Word in complete understanding of it. Consequently, My church, the community of believers, was established entirely in My spirit at first.

But later this was no longer enough for the overzealous representatives of My Word, they wanted to excel before the world. And thus events, which were only intended for the soul, were visually presented to people and associated with external actions, which at first could not be condemned since they were carried by the spirit, since people took My will and its fulfilment seriously. But people changed and with them changed the characteristics of My church …. What was meant to be a profound inner experience became an external action which was placed at the fore and the deeper spiritual meaning became lost …. until the simple process of spiritual communion, of union with Me and the direct acceptance of My Word, was no longer understood by people. So now they no longer believe that a direct transmission of My Word is possible, although I Myself clearly and comprehensively promised them My direct working through My spirit, although I Myself …. the Word that had become flesh …. referred to the sustenance with the bread of life, with the manna from heaven …. People no longer understand the simple meaning of My Word and in their blindness don’t want to accept the simple explanation either. But anyone who wants to hear and understand will realise it, and the truth will be plausible to him, he will strive to establish a connection with Me Myself, he will be My guest, and I will take supper with him and he with Me ….

Amen

"Where two or three in My name ….“

B.D. 4380 from July 19th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

I am in the midst of My congregation, i.e. of those who believe in Me and are in living contact with Me, who have entered into this connection with Me through works of neighbourly love and thus draw life-awakening strength from Me …. Spiritual life is meant by this, and thus I am in the midst of those who come together in spiritual striving. “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them ….” Thus is My promise …. but what does it mean: in My name? When can they lay claim to My presence, for it is not a specific place which guarantees them this presence but people have to be in a state which corresponds to My way of life on earth, they have to take Me as their example and thus live ‘following Jesus’ and in this endeavour gather together to remember Me and to draw strength from Me in prayer. Then they will be mentally united with Me and can ask for the same things Jesus asked for, and they will find an answer in every adversity. I Myself am close to them, for their striving to follow Me attracts Me; they have the aim of belonging to Me and their way of life will then correspond to My will. They must be fully convinced of My mission, they must see in Me the divine redeemer Who lived on earth, but they must also recognize the deity in Jesus and thus call upon Him as God. And My name must be sacred to them and for the sake of My name they must also always expect their prayer to be answered …. People must believe in the power of My name which guarantees that I Myself am amongst you if you faithfully pronounce it and remember Me. For the sake of My name I have assured you the fulfilment of every request. I am present to anyone who is deeply devout and speaks My name with fervour, and thus I will always be where people are together who have found each other in faith in Me and also want to work together for Me and My kingdom …. They will never lack strength because My presence always means the supply of strength for all who desire strength ….

Amen

Divine order …. basic law …. love ….

B.D. 4381 from July 20th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Immerse yourselves in My teaching and you will realize that I have only taught what establishes the eternal divine order, that I only enlighten you humans about the eternal fundamental laws which may not be violated if no disorder is to be established. Everything that is against it has the effect of decline and destruction, whereas according to My eternal order there should only be structure and progress and this triggers beatitude in the being which fulfils My law. This is why I gave guidelines on earth, because humanity had already violated the divine order so often that it no longer recognized the divine will as well as the meaning and purpose of the fundamental laws given by Me. I taught people above all the first fundamental law, love …. I taught them that divine order will always be established where love spreads, that they can never sin against divine order if love determines their will, thinking and actions. I further taught them that knowledge will also be where love is, because according to My order wisdom emerges from love …. If a person takes My teaching seriously he will live a life of love and as a result also know about everything, about My plan of eternity, about My fundamental nature, about his earthly task and the purpose and aim of every work of creation …. He will know about My will and do everything I ask and thus live in divine order. Spiritual ascent, maturity of soul, will be the effect of My teaching which I gave to people. And therefore it is necessary that My teaching is proclaimed to people again and again, otherwise no spiritual progress will be recorded amongst humanity. This is why My word continues to be conveyed to earth as soon as human will has distorted and mixed My pure teaching, which I preached on earth, with human thoughts which do not correspond to the truth. Then disorder occurs, which is destructive, and again and again I stop people to restore order and impart the pure truth from above to them. And if a person has an earnest will to live in order he will also pay attention to My word from above and make an effort to live it out …. enter the state of divine order and live his way of life according to My will. And he will recognize the eternal truth, he will enter the state of light, because light and wisdom are also absolutely necessary where divine order is spoken of, because light and wisdom trigger beatitude, which is the ultimate aim of everything that lives on earth ….

Amen

Aim of man …. love to God …. counter-love ….

B.D. 4382 from July 20th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

It is a high aim set for you humans as the crowning of your earthly life that you gain the father’s love, i.e. that you feel it, that it flows through you with all strength and makes you blissful creatures. To reach this aim is your task in life, for you yourselves must enter a state which makes you worthy of God’s love; although His love belongs to all His living creations and never ever ends, He can nevertheless only bestow it upon you if you fulfil the conditions which allow an overflow of God’s love. You must shape yourselves into vessels which can receive God’s fatherly love, you must shape yourselves into beings which, having become love themselves, can unite with eternal love. You must change yourselves into creatures which take on their original nature again, beings full of love and strength, light and wisdom. These beings emerged from God’s strength of love and His fatherly love belongs to them for all eternity. However, God’s love can only have an effect in full reciprocation, for love which is one-sided will never make people happy but constantly courts reciprocal love. God will not rest until He receives love from His living creations, only then can His strength of love take effect on people, only then will the human being have gained the most beautiful, the father’s love, which constantly gives and constantly makes happy. Anyone who reaches his aim on earth, that he shapes himself into a receptacle which contains the outpouring of divine love, is filled by His spirit, which now works in the human being as strength of love. God’s emanation of love takes shape in His word, which is conveyed through His spirit to people who make themselves worthy of God’s love through a life of love. Hence the highest aim on earth is to reach the state of being able to hear the divine word; this is the evidence that God’s love embraces the human being, that He expresses it in His word and that therefore every recipient of the divine word has also acquired His love, thus the aim set for him on earth has been reached and that he can now already work as a being of light on earth and enter the spiritual kingdom upon his passing away, as is his destiny ….

Amen

Presence of God …. love …. God’s word ….

B.D. 4383 from July 22nd 1948, taken from Book No. 51

My activity towards you must be proof to you that I am close to you, that you have gained My favour and that I give you a sign so that you are aware of it. But nothing that happens is without meaning and purpose but is based on deepest wisdom. Thus My activity towards you must also correspond to a specific purpose. But the purpose must also be clear to you, otherwise you would carelessly pass by My gift of grace, thus My activity would be without success for you. I approach you Myself such that you feel My presence, you may gain insight into My eternal plan of salvation, I inform you about My reign and activity, I impart profound knowledge to you, I constantly instruct you and thus express My love for you. I am always ready for you and express Myself as soon as you desire My gift of love. But you accept this greatest miracle, My gift, which My love offers you, as a matter of course, thus you certainly hear My word but do not feel the strength because you are not touched by My love as it should be felt by you. Again and again I offer you My love but you don’t reciprocate it to the extent I demand, you owe Me much love and therefore won’t feel the bliss of love either, which, however, would be your share, which I would like to prepare for you …. And yet, I will remain close to you because I will not give up on you and strive to win your love. And thus you will constantly find Me ready if you call Me, you will constantly receive My word if you desire it, and you will also be allowed to feel My love if you give Me your love, if you unite with Me through loving activity and thus, as it were, pay Me the tribute I demand …. if you offer Me your heart so that I can take possession of it. Then you will feel the bliss of fulfilled love, and you will become aware of My nearness and make yourselves happy, and your desire will increase the more I provide you with the outpouring of My love, with My word, which I constantly impart to you because you need it if you want to become blissfully happy ….

Amen

Research …. truth …. way of life ….

B.D. 4384 from July 23rd 1948, taken from Book No. 51

A result in accordance with research can only be accepted as truth if the researcher himself has entered into My will, thus he subordinates his thinking, wanting and acting to Me, i.e. he always asks for My assistance, which he also undertakes. Then the result of his research work can also be accepted without hesitation, then he has undertaken his research with the assistance of My spirit and his train of thought has been correctly guided by it. Consequently, you humans could form your own judgment if you take this moment into consideration and honestly endeavour to stand in truth, so that you can at least rightly condemn what is brought to you by people who obviously live a way of life which contradicts My will. For such people will never ever be able to give truthful information about things which are still unexplored. Thus they will also be unable to instruct their fellow human beings as long as they are unsuitable as teachers because they are without knowledge themselves. A right way of life is the first prerequisite for his intellect to work in the right direction. This is why a deeply believing person who fulfils My commandment of love will be able to solve all still unsolved problems much more easily, and his research will produce results which can be accepted without hesitation, just as every person will think correctly as soon as his way of life is right before Me. This knowledge will make it easier for you to assess human thought material which is conveyed to you as truth and which you have to examine before you accept it. Although the sharpest intellect was active it may have produced error if the intellect was not paired with love. The intellect can indeed try to justify logically what it represents, nevertheless love will see more sharply and discover where the intellect has drawn wrong conclusions. And therefore the judgment of a loving person must be respected more, and the person who listens to the voice of the heart, to what seems emotionally acceptable to him, will be truly wise …. For he will be closer to the truth. Again and again it has to be emphasized that love and truth cannot be separated from each other, that love is the key to wisdom and that truth can never be found outside of love despite the sharpest intellectual activity. But you humans must be on your guard that error is not presented to you if you search for truth and do not take the path to Me. For then you will be blinded by seemingly most luminous knowledge which, however, as illusion can never endure a serious examination. But if you want to test it, then pay attention to what I tell you …. always use love as a standard and your judgment will be right. Then you will be able to accept or reject without hesitation, then you will test with Me and I will truly inform you and guide your thinking correctly ….

Amen

Work in the vineyard of the lord ….

B.D. 4385 from July 23rd 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Teach the ignorant, enlighten the erring, help the weak in faith and build up My own, and you carry out your ministry according to My will, you work the fields of My vineyard. And your activity will not be unsuccessful, everywhere you will be able to lend a hand, for the soil must be cultivated, the weeds must be removed, weak little plants must be raised up and find a foothold, and even the plants which thrive well must be cared for if they are to withstand every storm and delight people’s eyes and hearts. But it is important that good seed is scattered on My field, and your lord will provide you with it, and you should not take any foreign seed on it but only that which you receive from Me for sowing. Then the field will also bear good fruit at harvest time and the scours will be filled if My labourers are eager for Me and provide for a good harvest. And thus your activity is of utmost importance, after all, human hearts shall be made receptive for Me Myself, for My word, which I want to offer them, which shall take root in their hearts as good seed. But I tell you that I will reward the work of My servants as I have promised. Those who make themselves available to Me as faithful servants at the end of this earth period must gain their faith from themselves, and I value this especially highly. I reveal Myself to them in the word which I convey to them so that they can carry out their work. Anyone of good will recognizes it as My word, and consequently he will also not act wrongly if he endeavours to procure good fruit for Me with this pure seed of Mine. He will be so stimulated by My word for his activity that he will have much success …. He cultivates the fields according to My will, and once the seed has penetrated deep into the soil the good results will soon become apparent, and the fruits will be gathered at harvest time according to your diligence and labour.

Power of the word before the end …. need ….

B.D. 4386 from July 25th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Drink from the source of life, refresh yourselves with the bread of heaven and thus receive the strength from Me which you will urgently need in the coming time. For it is a great action with which I initiate the last phase on this earth, it is something so powerful that you must be full of resilience if you want to remain in control of the situation. I have set the time since eternity …. it is fulfilled …. Humanity has reached the spiritual low which causes the end of this earth, and therefore I prepare you to experience this end in a state of soul which corresponds to My will and ensures your entry into the kingdom of light. I want to protect the few people who strive towards Me from spiritual decline, I don’t want them to succumb to the hardship of the time, that they doubt Me and completely lose their faith due to the great adversity if they have no explanation for it. For no human being would be blessed if I did not want to stay in contact with them through My word and impart to them the knowledge about what is about to happen. For unbelief is far greater, and despite My enlightening word it is already difficult for the believers to stand firm in the coming time. Yet My word will give you strength at all times, you will constantly find the support in My word which gives you stability when adversity weighs heavily upon you. My word will be spiritual nourishment for you, and through My word you will also know that you will be helped in every earthly and spiritual adversity. And I want to keep you in this confidence until the end …. Whatever may come, it will all pass quickly, it will be a time full of excitement that you will no longer have an earthly estimate of time, and if you only ever keep to My word and constantly draw strength from it, the end time will not cause you any spiritual damage but you will mature and with increasing maturity of soul feel the earthly adversity less and less until the end is there, which will bring you earthly and spiritual salvation. I only ever admonish you to maintain the connection with Me if you don’t want to become weak. For all strength emanates from Me, in Me you will find a faithful helper, a support Who cannot abandon you, to Whom you can entrust yourselves without hesitation and Who alone can reduce and avert your adversity and also does so if you faithfully appeal to Him for it. And as soon as you let Me speak to you, as soon as you listen to My voice within you or receive My word in another way, you will be filled with strength and feel My presence, for I Myself am with you in the word, and where I am every adversity will be bearable. But I will remain with you until the end, as I have promised you ….

Amen

Personal Words ….

B.D. 4387 from July 27th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The spirit imparts My Word to you, and this is what you should listen to. I will always speak to you providing you first speak to Me in spirit and in truth. Thus I do not reply to mere words spoken by your mouth, but what you feel and think in your heart will find its way to Me and give rise to a response. If you ask Me in this manner you will mentally receive My answer. Then you can confidently believe that your thoughts originated from Me and take them to heart. I want you to understand everything and not start to doubt …. Therefore I also want you to know what kind of relationship you should have towards one another. I want to give you a Word of advice which you should seriously consider so that you then can make a free decision.

I want you to establish the most heartfelt harmony of souls between yourselves, I want you to establish a pure relationship which is supported by mutual love, a relationship in which each one of you is willing to give to the other and every requirement is excluded. I want you to stay together until you are parted by death, because your earthly path is only brief. You aspired towards a mutual goal and should also try to reach this goal …. spiritual marriage, which survives everything, which signifies union in the spiritual kingdom, which consists of mutual activity and the same consciousness of strength. However, this union requires the same degree of maturity and thus the same emanation of light, consequently also the same love and the same knowledge …. And for this reason two people’s endeavour on earth, who want to work together in the spiritual kingdom, must enable the direct transmission of light and strength, of spiritual knowledge. My spirit has to be able to be effective in them and to teach them, i.e. they have to receive My Word through the voice of the spirit. And it is certain that only through actions of love will you awaken the spirit within yourselves, who then will teach you.

People who are joined together by true, pure love open the door of their hearts to the spirit within themselves, which is part of Me. They shape themselves into receiving vessels for My spirit and can be constantly taught. And thus you are destined to travel the path of ascent together, because by living in emotional harmony you will be very receptive for the strength of spirit, for My emanation, for My Word, that will then be conveyed to you directly. Anyone who receives My Word directly has to pass it on, and the more he loves his fellow human being the more eagerly he will do so. Moreover, the lovingly offered Word will be accepted where love has been aroused again. And love should be practised because it is strength in itself, thus increasing love also means increasing strength.

Your course of life is but short, and therefore every day should be used by you to work together on behalf of Me and My kingdom. But mutual activity also necessitates complete conviction in regards to spiritual questions, to the deliberation, comprehension and assessment of what is presented to you as truth through the spirit. However, correct thinking always requires the working of the spirit, and My spirit can only work in the presence of love. Hence you should never allow love to become unrequited, because the partner will lack understanding for spiritual truth when he stands outside of love. For love of Me you should make an effort to show love to other people, hence you have to practise giving, joyful love, and when it is thus returned it will cause an exchange of strength with earthly and spiritual results. And this is what you should achieve by reminding each other to love, by being sincerely affectionate to each other, by strengthening the feeling of togetherness to a point that you can no longer imagine life without each other …. Then you will experience the greatest miracle on earth, you will both hear the sound of the Word at the same time …. Then there will be no more separation for you, then My spirit will be constantly working in you, then every doubt will have come to an end, the truth of My Word will be shining so brightly for you that you will be completely filled by it and you will joyfully work together for Me and My kingdom.

Therefore you should submit yourselves entirely to My guidance, you should not wilfully do anything but what you are urged to do from within yourselves, you should only ever let yourselves be guided by your feeling, because I place My will into your heart and the prompting of your heart is the expression of My will. If you comply with this you will submit yourselves to My will, if you oppose it then your will is stronger. I would like to caution you about this, for My will always leads to the goal, whereas yours will always leads away from the goal or lengthen the path such that you will waste time, because the end is coming soon ….

Amen

Heartfelt prayer …. God's help ….

B.D. 4388 from July 28th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Always rely on My help if you are in spiritual or earthly need; I am always ready when you call Me. And stay with the thought that I prepare you for the time of your activity for Me. This thought will be an explanation for you in all situations of life, for great demands will be placed on you which you can only fulfil with My help and therefore you must always seek contact with Me …. And you must learn to always turn your thoughts towards Me, even though you are moving in the hustle and bustle of the world, when you are approached by incentives of all kinds or hardship and oppression. You must learn to concentrate so that your soul can lift itself up into the spiritual kingdom for a short time in order to fetch strength again and again. You must learn to say a short heartfelt prayer at any time which, rising from your heart, will always reach My ears. The earthly world must never become stronger than the spiritual kingdom, you must educate yourselves to this if you want to consciously serve Me and be active for Me. For this reason you will also be confronted by temptations of all kinds which you must withstand, which must not push you away from Me. With Me you will be able to cope with everything, but without Me the world will tie you to itself again and you will succumb to it. But anyone who commends himself to Me at all times need not fear becoming a victim of the world, for I hold My protective fatherly hand over him and every temptation will only serve to strengthen his will. But again and again I admonish you through My word to seek refuge with Me and in the spiritual kingdom, where you will always be granted help in earthly and spiritual adversity if only you believe, for I will not leave My servants on earth in adversity ….

Power of prayer ….

B.D. 4389 from July 29th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The power of prayer is not used enough because you humans do not have the right faith and therefore you cannot test it enough. You could request everything and also achieve everything if you believed, if you presented your requests to Me without doubting and confidently awaited their fulfilment. Prayer is the bridge to Me which I Myself have built for you and which you may enter at any time in order to reach Me. A right prayer, a prayer in spirit and in truth, will always be heard and not remain unsuccessful, and the strength of your faith also guarantees you certain fulfilment, consequently the fulfilment of your requests does not depend on My will but only on your strength of faith, and consequently you yourselves determine to what extent your prayer will be heard. Again and again I tell you that you should turn to Me in all matters, and thus you could truly have a far easier earthly existence if you would make better use of the strength of prayer. But if you say the prayers as you are often taught, you will constantly be able to ask and wait in vain for the fulfilment of your requests. Then your prayer will not reach My ear, for it is not a true prayer, it lacks the strength of faith. Then I cannot work with My might, for I Myself have taught you the right faith, I have made it a condition if your prayers are to be answered. I cannot release you from this condition, I must demand faith in Me and My working, otherwise I Myself would be unfaithful to My law of eternity, otherwise I could not mention the power of faith either. You could achieve everything and only need to put it to the test, yet you must first acquire profound faith, you must be so convinced from within that you will never make a wrong request, that I can and will help you. And I will grant you every earthly request if you pray in the right way …. in the belief that I will grant you what is not detrimental to the soul and that you are fully convinced that I will only give you what is helpful to you because I love you …. Thus you must also be able to do without if My love denies you something …. this attitude must also be represented in a right prayer, then your prayer will be right and you can always count on your requests being granted, because I Myself have given you the promise: Ask, and it shall be given you, knock, and it shall be opened to you.

Amen

Spiritual decline …. Signs of the end ….

B.D. 4390 from July 30th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Spiritual decline is increasingly more noticeable and this alone ought to explain to you the earthly adversity, for the latter is the only means which could wake people up and prompt them into changing their way of thinking. People only strive towards acquiring earthly possessions and allow themselves to be controlled by matter rather than the other way round so that they would win in their battle against matter. Hence I constantly bring the foolishness of their endeavours home to them by showing them the transience of earthly things. Yet less significant happenings are to no avail, the individual person won´t change his thinking and ignores the life of his soul, for he only takes his earthly existence into account and has completely lost faith in an afterlife. Humanity is descending ever further, faith is becoming increasingly more superficial and a bond with Me, their God and Creator of eternity, ever more seldom. And this will become particularly evident in a short time. The day of a complete change in living conditions, the day when everything will experience a transformation, is coming ever closer because My will is clearly moving into action. People will be unable to protect anything unless I protect it for them, and they will be defenseless in the face of My might and experience serious difficulties.

But blessed is the difficulty if it only has an earthly effect on a person, if his soul is not in jeopardy …. if the person has faith …. Then he need not fear this earthly tribulation, then he will only be able to gain despite his earthly losses. But this will be the start of a trying time for unbelievers, for their loss of earthly possessions will cause them indescribable suffering and they will have to give up all hope of regaining them. Spiritual possessions will be no substitute for them, for they don´t strive for but reject them when they are offered to them. But this suffering has to befall earth, it is inevitable and only the prelude to the final event, to the complete destruction of the old earth which will be experienced by all of you if I don´t end your life prematurely because I consider it favorable for your soul. The believer will see and recognise all signs of the end, the unbeliever will pass them by, he will only take notice of the earthly hardship and its effect on earthly life and increasingly turn away from God. And thus, there will soon be a separation between spiritually aspiring and utterly worldly-minded people and this, too, will be so obvious that the spiritually awakened person will recognise the last days by this alone. The end is approaching with giant steps and you will experience the end ….

Amen

Great need …. divorce …. grace period ….

B.D. 4391 from July 31th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Take note of the fact that a new time is beginning, a time of privations and hardships such as the world has never experienced before …. And you will be at a crossroads, for you can take two paths, the aim of one is a new, improved earthly world which you desire and therefore also believe you can create …. The aim of the other is the kingdom outside of earth which promises you a better life after the death of the body. And only a few will take this path, the aim of which, however, is certain, while the masses flow onto the earthly path which leads to certain ruin. Believe My words that the time has come and prepare yourselves already now to give up everything and to be satisfied with the simplest way of life, for you still possess much compared to the coming time when only a few will keep their possessions but will not be able to enjoy them because fellow human beings will take away what I leave to them. No-one wants to hear that an ascent is only illusory, that you will only live in bearable circumstances for a short time, that a great change lies ahead of you which will rob you of all joy of life and present you with a hard challenge. But it will certainly come because the time is fulfilled. And if My grace already points it out to you beforehand, it is only for the purpose that you should free yourselves from earthly desire, that you should not make plans for the future but strive with increased eagerness for spiritual possessions which alone will make the difficult coming time bearable for you and be of use to you. For you can work with them when the adversity is great and people are in despair. But I cannot turn them away from you, after all, you humans completely forget your God in your pursuit of earthly possessions. You only think of your body and let the soul go hungry, and thus I take from you what you intended for the body and offer you, however, delicious good for the soul as compensation. If you accept it you will be saved for eternity, if you reject it your body and soul will be lost, for you cannot maintain your body with your own strength. But I have decided to put an end to this and only give you one last period of grace in which you should become aware of the seriousness of your situation. And therefore I constantly point this out to you until the day will have come which will change everything …. For what I have proclaimed will come true, and I only send seers and prophets to you humans so that you will wake up and seriously think of your soul, which is in greatest danger ….

Amen

Redeemer …. faith …. free will …. compulsion ….

B.D. 4392 from August 1st 1948, taken from Book No. 51

As long as you do not want to believe, you will not be able to believe. Every person can shape his soul’s life according to his will, i.e. no constraint is imposed on his thinking, feeling and willing, it will never have to move in a certain direction but the person chooses the direction himself. But in order for his chosen direction of thought and will to be the right one, corresponding to My will and My eternal order, help will constantly be granted to him, it will be offered to him, so to speak, so that it will be easy for him to take the right direction if he first surrenders himself to the controller of infinity, irrespective of the form in which he acknowledges Him, i.e. if he believes in Him for the first time …. Even without any instruction he can intellectually ask himself the question of his origin, and this question will also be answered mentally such that he will be guided onto the right track …. his thinking will come close to the truth because I Myself want the human being to know the truth. And if he mentally entrusts himself as a thinking being, as a work of creation of a Master still unknown to him, he expresses the will for truth and it will become his. Wanting to believe also secures the ability to believe, yet the human being should never consider himself capable of intellectually fathoming the truth and thereby exclude Me and My assistance or completely reject Me and yet stand in truth …. If you were able to prove My existence as well as everything I demand of you to believe, the act of free will, which is the meaning and purpose of your earthly life as a human being, would be invalid, for the human being has to submit to an all-dominating being because he feels inferior to Him. Then he is, so to speak, driven by fear if he does not openly resist and thereby plunges into the depths again. But I do not want this decision on the part of the human being, instead, he must strive towards Me in utmost freedom, he must want a power above him to which he voluntarily submits himself. Therefore he must certainly be able to believe but he must not be forced to believe, thus My existence must not be able to be proven to him. And thus a person’s whole soul life is left up to him, i.e. thinking, feeling and willing are not subject to compulsion but to the person’s direction of will, which now also makes it understandable that a battle is waged in the spiritual kingdom for the human being’s will by both powers between which he is to decide. For the apostasy from Me came about through the influence of a counter-power which, however, was originally also the product of My love, fully equipped with everything that characterizes a divine creature. That and why this being turned away from Me can likewise only be figuratively explained to you humans. But the apostasy let the being become My adversary, under whose influence countless spiritual entities rebelled against Me, thus they fell abysmally. I woo this apostate spiritual being with all love, but the adversary wants to wrest from Me what I already partly possess again. And therefore a spiritual battle rages incessantly which will certainly end with My adversary’s complete defeat but also with the relapse of many beings into darkness because they have abused their free will again …. thus could not be forced by My adversary either but freely decided for him themselves. Now people who could not believe despite their will would have to be regarded as forced beings, as excusable …. But coercion neither comes from Me nor from My adversary, which is why it is therefore possible for the willing person to believe but faith must never be able to be proven. But once the human being has gained faith by virtue of his will he will also gain the knowledge of truth, which can only be gained by way of faith. For I must be acknowledged as the eternal truth in order to be able to distribute it. People who doubt My existence can use their intellect no matter how eagerly, they will draw wrong conclusions and get carried away into completely wrong thinking, for they research and ponder without Me and hand themselves over to My adversary’s influence, who now uses every opportunity to wage the battle against the light …. against the truth …. truth. Freedom of will is the explanation for everything ….

Freedom of will is also the explanation for the greatest mystery, for the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ …. The fact that I descended to people was merely due to the fact that My adversary’s power had become too great because humanity was too weak to use its will in the right way and to resist him. Coercion never took place on the part of the adversary, but people, since they lived without love, which is strength in itself, were no longer able to give their will the right direction because they no longer recognized it. The adversary took advantage of people’s weakness of will and exerted an ever stronger influence on them. They would have been able to resist if they had lived a life of love, and therefore people had to be given an example of what the human being is capable of if he increases the strength within himself through a life of love and transfers this strength to his will. Faith sinks as soon as the degree of love is low, on the other hand doubt rises as an attack signal from the adversary, and soon it overgrows faith and suffocates it. A person therefore had to show his fellow human beings what their task in life was and how they could fulfil this task …. a person had to use the will in the right direction and draw the strength for it from love …. It is a simple solution, and it is also understandable that the products of My love took pity on Me as creator and father of eternity, that they, although of their own will, no longer became free from their tormentor who misused his strength, which he drew from Me, for shameful activity. It must also be understandable that I sought a way out for the wretched creatures, that a work of mercy met My approval which love wanted to accomplish for the wretched. I love all My creatures and seek to win them all back again. Under compulsion it would be a work of the moment, but I do not use compulsion for the sake of the perfection of that which has taken its origin from Me. On the other hand, I was satisfied with one proof of rightly used will which a person’s deep love wanted to provide Me with for his fellow human beings. I saw the great love of this one person and for the sake of this great love mercy took the place of justice …. I redirected the strength of love as willpower to the weak people who entrust themselves to Jesus in their weakness and turn to Him for help. Thus I regard the people who commend themselves to Jesus as united with Him, as a member of Him; I no longer make a separation between these sinful people and Jesus but I regard them as a whole whom I forgive their sins for the sake of Jesus’ great love …. i.e., whom I take away their weakness of will, whom I give strength for the right use of their will. I help them to use their will correctly but do not force their will through the supply of strength …. The human being still has to redeem himself from the state of apostasy from Me, now he can do so if he appeals to Jesus Christ for help, thus acknowledges Him and asks for the supply of strength for the sake of His act of salvation …. This is the only way to look at the act of salvation. Only the love of the man Jesus was decisive, which He expressed through His death on the cross. Furthermore, He proved to people that death is something overcome for a human being Who was so perfect through love that He was able to enter eternal life, that He therefore did not die in reality but lived in elevated light, which He proved to people through His ascension …. Thus I accepted His love, and for the sake of this love I help the debtors to become free of their guilt through the use of willpower, although the complete redemption is still up to the human being himself, that he freely decides in favour of Me and strives towards Me ….

Amen

Right prayer in spirit and in truth ….

B.D. 4393 from August 3rd 1948, taken from Book No. 51

If God does not hear your request, if you do not find fulfilment, then you have not prayed correctly, and therefore you must call once more and present your adversity to Him if you ask for the adversity to be averted. For you only need to believe that God will not leave you without help and you will also be helped. Then there is always a lack of trust, faith is not deep enough, and thus God does not hear your call, i.e. He does not heed it, so that you should recognize what you lack. He will avert spiritual and earthly adversity from you if your prayer reaches Him in spirit and in truth, if you trustingly speak to Him like children speak to their father and present your adversity to Him. If you are in this right relationship with Him, the fulfilment of every request is also assured. But a right child leaves the kind of help to the father in the knowledge that His wisdom and love will always do what is right for the child, and therefore the request for help is sufficient and the human being need not worry about the kind of help he receives. And thus God will also remedy spiritual hardship if it is possible, for (then) spiritual hardship, the hardship which does not concern earthly material things but the state of soul, the right application and utilization of spiritual gifts. Feelings and distress of faith are often imposed on the human being by God in order to bring him to spiritual development, and they are therefore at times a blessing, but are likewise averted through heartfelt prayer, because God never denies His help to the human being who takes refuge in Him like a child. Trustingly pray to Him and faithfully expect the turning away of what oppresses you and you will not be disappointed, for God will not let a profound faith be put to shame ….

Amen

Spiritual mission …. truth …. end battle ….

B.D. 4394 from August 4th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You will be full of wisdom if you are to work for Me and My kingdom. To the extent that you use knowledge, to the extent that you teach your fellow human beings yourselves, you will receive spiritual possessions and your knowledge will increase without limit, for then I will always work in you and provide you with everything you need, with spiritual and physical nourishment, as I have promised you. And then your mission will be recognized by the one who only has the will for it, for your wisdom will obviously come to light, the treasure of knowledge will be astonishing which cannot conceal its spiritual origin. But if you teach people will also be hungry for spiritual food because they are in utmost need. And they will open their hearts and listen to you, yet with varying degrees of success. To many My word will be an explanation for the hardship caused by the great event which has affected them, they will be thoughtful and also consider My word in their hearts. Others again will certainly listen to it but doubt it or have little faith in it; the adversity certainly moves them to accept it but they are not a hundredfold with their heart but also look towards the world and its goods are more desirable to them. And still others reject you completely, they reject every spiritual word, every teaching which touches spiritual areas, they have lost all faith through the event because they never carried it in their heart before, because they only believed outwardly and this faith was a formal faith without any value. And they will speak against you, they will try to harm you and yet initially achieve nothing because you will be protected by those who acknowledge your knowledge, who have accepted it and found it beneficial. And thus your work will be successful in the beginning until a power comes to the helm which will prevent your freedom of speech through measures and laws which are directed against everything spiritual. Only then will the great adversity begin, which will mean the final end …. Then a battle will be waged on the part of the world against every believer, against every school of thought, but especially against you who spread the pure truth. But then I will obviously stand by you and appear such that you will still gain many followers and your work can be continued, for then you will be able to prove to your fellow human beings what strength lies in faith and love, which an unbelieving and unkind person can never have at his disposal. There will be an open separation of believers and unbelievers, two camps will form which fight against each other …. My army will be small in number yet strong and resilient, for I Myself, as the commander of the army, will always be on My own’ side, whereas the adversary will certainly be outnumbered but he will be unable to do anything against My own who fight with Me and for Me. But the last battle must take place if the separation of spirits is to be accomplished before the last day dawns, the day of judgement and the dissolution of the old earth. Those who remain faithful to Me until then will experience My coming in the clouds, but those who have fallen away will certainly live earthly lives of luxury, but they will be torn out of their frenzy and fall into the pit of hell, into the deepest abyss, when the end has come. Therefore withstand all temptations and challenges of the world, serve Me with all eagerness, let Me feed and water you daily with My word and pass on what you receive from Me. And you will be true servants to Me on earth in the last days, and your work will always be blessed by Me ….

Amen
