Use of grace …. free will …. strengthening of the will ….

B.D. 4527 from December 29th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

Nothing will be withheld from you that will benefit your soul. And since truth is the soul’s greatest supporter it will always and constantly be conveyed to you if you are willing to accept it. This is therefore the prerequisite that you want to progress in your development, that you therefore desire to stand in truth. The will is yours, it is free and is not influenced by Me in any way, however, it is supported in every way if it takes the right direction. Everything I give to you, everything that contributes towards the advancement of your soul’s maturity, is a gift from Me which I, as the eternal love, offer to that which, having once fallen away from Me, has not yet voluntarily returned to Me. They are gifts of grace which you humans do not deserve but which My love bestows upon you in order to win you over. Nevertheless, all gifts of grace are ineffective if your will is directed towards Me, for only the will subordinated to Me turns grace into a real means of help, only if your will strives towards Me of its own accord can the graces become effective for you. It therefore only depends on you whether you travel the path of ascent, whether you reach Me as your aim, whether you become perfect and thus blessed …. It is your will which determines this, which is not touched by Me in its freedom. Yet I will strengthen this will if you ask for it, but then it will already be turned towards Me or you would not pray to Me. The will is your …. and the will determines the measure of grace which is used by you, yet an unlimited measure of grace is at your disposal from Me. Therefore, anyone who believes that he can achieve his beatitude on his own must be confronted by the fact that all use of strength certainly originates from Me, that it is therefore certainly My strength which works in him, but that he can and must request this strength himself before it can take effect in him, and this always first requires the will turned towards Me, which is not determined or directed by Me but has to be directed by yourselves. Thus your beatification can never be determined by Me, even though I have known about your will since eternity. For if you seriously think about it, Christ’s act of salvation would be completely pointless, which was merely accomplished for the sake of the weakened will, which was intended to provide help where the human being alone was too weak to use his will properly in order to become free from the form. You humans can certainly do nothing without My grace, for your entire earthly life is only a gift of grace from Me …. But since it concerns the soul’s free ascent development during earthly life I make everything dependent on your free will, which I have given to you so that you can become perfect, otherwise I would only have directed spirits and then the whole of creation would not be necessary if My will determined the beings to become blessed. My word must always be an enlightenment for you, which is always given to you in a way that is understandable to you and which always conveys the pure truth to you, so that you will be guided correctly in your thinking and therefore also in the direction of your will ….

Amen

Reference to natural disaster …. surprise ….

B.D. 4528 from December 30th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You, My faithful, will also be surprised by the sudden earthly turn of events. You will receive a last hint, but you will also pay too little attention to it and therefore also be too little prepared. But I want to inform you once again that your days are numbered and that you can safely expect to enter a new phase of life which all too clearly indicates the near end. I have told you this, and I tell you again and again, that you are the generation which experiences the end. And so that you believe that the end is near and still have the last opportunity to seriously prepare yourselves, I announce My previous revelation to you through the elements of nature. I want you to believe and make it easy for you to believe. Furthermore, I inform you of what you experience and prove the truth of My words to you, so that you will also believe in the end and accordingly use the last days for your soul. But you doubt and are lukewarm in your soul’s work; even you, My faithful, do not take My word so seriously that you would like to completely attune yourselves to it. And when I now appear you will be just as surprised despite the announcement before. But anyone who believes My word does not need another warning, for he expects Me daily and knows that there is only a short time left. And I will reveal Myself to him in an unmistakable way, for he shall still testify shortly beforehand so that his fellow human beings will believe when I appear. He will feel Me, I will always be present to him and therefore he will also be able to testify about Me and eagerly speak for Me. And I will bless his zeal and very obviously grant him My help when the great adversity begins …. The time limit has expired …. Believe this and expect Me and I will come …. Strong faith attracts Me, strong faith allows My presence and makes My revelation possible and thereby also makes the heavy burden of life easier, because I have also promised My protection to those who believe in Me and belong to My own. And they will know that the time has come, even though they, too, are surprised that what I have always and constantly proclaimed through word and scripture will come to pass ….

Amen

New Year's message: people's resistance to God ….

B.D. 4529 from January 1st 1949, taken from Book No. 52

People’s resistance against Me is great, and only My greater than great love protects them from the complete fall into the abyss. Yet the distance from Me cannot be reduced as long as they don’t give up their resistance. But resistance is every rejection of My grace, and grace is everything that leads you upwards, towards Me, and thus helps to restore the original state. Hence grace is also the supply of My word which imparts the pure truth to you, a knowledge which helps you to recognize Me, to love Me and to keep My commandments. The human being must accept this knowledge otherwise he will receive a wrong image of Me as creator and father from eternity. Lack of knowledge impairs love for Me, and wrong knowledge leads away from Me …. This has to be said first if the human being is to understand that and why truth is extremely important for the soul’s higher development. Where truth is not represented the path to Me is blocked, and I cannot be reached through error, and thus it will also be understandable that I bestow a special gift of grace upon the human being: My direct word from above, because every misguided teaching has to be corrected if he is to progress in his development, for I Myself, as the eternal truth, cannot tolerate that error and lies walk alongside Me. And therefore I must first correct the erroneous teachings, and I only require people who place themselves at My disposal of their own free will, who are willing to accept My teaching in all purity and pass it on to their fellow human beings. I convey My word to them in different forms but always with the same content; whether they receive it directly from Me or through intermediaries, whether they read or hear it, depends on their state of maturity and their willingness to receive it. This is why My word can be received in all purity in many places, for the written word can also convey the same knowledge to a person if he receives it into his heart and memory in desire for truth. Then he will always be guided by My spirit into right thinking and thus stand in truth. But where the human being’s will opposes Mine, where the human being does not hand himself over to Me but, as it were, wants to find the truth out of his own intellect, it will be difficult to present the truth. But the resistance against Me is great, for all those who persist in their spiritual knowledge, who stubbornly cling to a body of thought which was given to them from outside, offer this resistance because they are not willing to surrender this body of thought in exchange for better knowledge. And so the question must first be asked: What entitles you to regard precisely this spiritual knowledge of yours as truth, when different schools of thought, different denominations also represent different teachings? On serious reflection you must admit to yourselves that you have no proof that you possess the right knowledge …. unless you can prove direct spiritual activity which, however, will then always result in the same body of thought. The fact that you were taught this way is no proof that you were imparted the truth …. You must always bear in mind that the human being has free will and that, as long as he is still imperfect, he will, through the adversary’s influence, profess ever more that which corresponds to his imperfection, that he therefore either has to be perfect…, in order to stand in the truth, or else, in awareness of his imperfect state and his ignorance as a result of it, he must stretch out his hands from the depths towards the light, towards the original source of truth, so that his hand may be grasped and he may be drawn up into the kingdom of light. He must ask and allow himself to be given gifts …. but not to search and ponder intellectually without the humble admission of his inability to do so. Humanity is too convinced that it stands in the truth and therefore it is difficult to supply it with the pure truth. But every thinking man would have to doubt his own knowledge because of the diversity of what is regarded as truth, and therefore now seek the truth where it has its origin. I now meet people’s needs by sending bearers of truth to them, but they find open and hidden resistance …. But how do you want to come into possession of the truth? In what form shall it be offered to all those that it will be accepted without affecting their free will? It is only due to your resistance, which I will not break by force but which is nevertheless to blame for the great darkness which is spread across the earth. I could certainly achieve everything by force, yet in all freedom you must strive for perfection, and therefore there will only ever be a few people to whom I can convey the pure truth directly, just as the number of those who accept the word from above through you will not be great, even though My flow of love flows in all directions and the truth seeks to find entrance in some form or other everywhere. And mostly it is spiritual conversations which could give rise to pleading thoughts of the eternal truth. And no one will be able to deny having had the opportunity for spiritual conversations. It always depends on the inner resistance, which is often opposed to the pure truth through the influence of satan. But the desire for Me and thus for the truth breaks the resistance and enables the person to accept My word, through which he will be instructed in the truth ….

Amen

God's love and mercy ….

B.D. 4530 from January 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 52

I mercifully look upon the inhabitants of earth who, in their delusion, strive and hunt for material goods and leave the short time on earth, which is given to them for salvation, unused. I know about their lack of maturity, I see their idleness of life, I see the spiritual hardship and the fate they face after the end of their physical life, I see their will, their hardened hearts, their unbelief and their lack of strength and inability to save themselves, and this state takes pity on Me. My love is for these wretched ones to whom no salvation can be brought because they don’t want to be saved …. And My love always devises new means to turn their will towards Me; for I don’t want to lose a soul, I want to win it back and possess it for eternity. I approach all people in the form of suffering which shall make their hearts pliable and receptive for My love and grace; I speak to all people Myself through life, and I seek to urge all people onto the bridge which leads to Me …. I seek to cause them to pray so that I can assist them. I Myself dwell on this earth amongst people who no longer recognize Me, I speak to them through My servants and constantly appeal for their love, for My mercy is exceedingly great because My love is infinite …. And I have little success, for greed for matter prevails, people are too earthly minded and don’t think of their souls. Nevertheless, I will not give them up, for one day even the most obdurate soul will find its way back to Me, one day it will feel touched by My love and longingly approach Me, one day it will become Mine, even though it will take eternities, for My love is strength and life and My mercy knows no bounds …. And so I must one day win back every soul, and whether it languishes in deepest darkness …. one day it will strive for the light and thus also for Me ….

Amen

Coming in the clouds …. Rapture …. End ….

B.D. 4531 from January 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

And I will come to you to carry you into My kingdom …. Remember this promise during your hours of distress and wait for Me and My help, firmly believe that I will come as your Saviour when the adversity becomes insufferable. And don’t be afraid, for I Am stronger than the one who wants to ruin you. You should know that it would be easy for Me to destroy him; yet nothing would be achieved by this for his many followers would continue his work if they were not destroyed as well. This, however, is not acceptable, for that which came forth from My creative spirit will continue to exist forever, it cannot cease to exist because it is everlasting strength from Me. Nevertheless, I will rescue you from his power by banishing him and all those who are enslaved by him. You, however, will be led into the kingdom of peace where you will live as if you were in paradise, until I return you to the new earth which you then shall populate according to My will. No-one will believe this promise, this prophesy, for when I come in the clouds I will repeal the natural laws by lifting you up to Me in the flesh before your fellow human beings’ eyes who succumbed to My adversary. They will effectively experience something unnatural, which they currently don’t want to believe in.

But you, who are My Own, you know that nothing is impossible for Me, and therefore you also know that I can stop or revoke natural laws if it benefits My eternal plan of Salvation, thus you also know that there will be an end and that you are living in the last days before the end. Consequently you do not doubt this proclamation either, which I imparted to humanity at the beginning of this period of Salvation. You consider it possible, and you should firmly believe it, so that you subsequently will be able to survive the difficult time, always thinking and hoping for my assured help and My coming from above. Regardless of what evil people will do to you, don’t take offence, for they will receive their punishment which will be bitter indeed. They will see you being lifted up before their eyes while death is lurking around them and they will be unable to escape in any direction; they will be devoured by the earth and be granted a wretched fate on the new earth. You, however, will receive your just compensation, all hardship will have come to an end, you will live in freedom and with joy on the new earth amid a paradise, amid love and in direct contact with Me, Who will often stay amongst the people who have become love. And this is the end which was predicted by seers and prophets time and again, which was announced ever since the beginning of this epoch of Salvation so that humanity will believe. Yet no-one takes these predictions seriously, nevertheless, the day will come when all this will happen and the last Judgment will occur, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….

Amen

Making use of the power from God ….

B.D. 4532 from January 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

Make use of My strength and prepare yourselves for an extraordinary event which will soon surprise you. Only with My strength are you able to pass the tests which arise from the fact that you spread My word as a mission from above. I will always stand by you, I will not leave you, yet you will find no worldly support, only spiritually striving people recognize you and seek to help you, yet the world prevents them from doing so. But help will obviously come and then you will know that I am at work, that I will never leave you in adversity if only you trust Me. And you should acquire this trust by immersing yourselves in My word as often as you can. Your faith will experience a strengthening which you will never gain if you don’t make use of the strength of the word. But in adversity you will feel it if you intimately unite with Me and never have the feeling of being abandoned, of loneliness and helplessness. And then you will fearlessly speak up when you have to answer for yourselves, and My spirit will tell you what you should say. Therefore do not be alarmed when My word is fulfilled in you …. as soon as you have to answer for your spiritual work you can be certain of all protection, even if the world is threatening you. There is only one thing I urge you to do: to draw strength from My word before the world’s shameful activity begins, because it fears the power of the word or it would not take action against you. For the world …. i.e. opposition of the spirit …. also shows itself where it pretends to represent Me …. The world is everything that goes against Me, attacks My word from above and thus works against Me. But you are not inferior to this world, for it is My adversary, consequently I stand against it and thus on your side, and with Me you will also be victorious over the strongest opponents and therefore need not fear anyone if you are active in My name for Me and My kingdom ….

Amen

Spiritual turning-point …. Total transformation of earth ….

B.D. 4533 from January 6th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

You can take it for granted that the world is facing a change, spiritually as well as earthly. The earth itself is approaching a total transformation, a transformation of its surface as well as extensive internal changes, and, likewise, people need to prepare themselves for a process that will have spiritual repercussions because all life on earth, human and animal, will cease to exist as soon as the reshaping of earth is under way. Thus it stands to reason that the entire transformation will have a spiritual foundation, that a new school for the spirit will be created which, however, will first call for the destruction of the former. Earth cannot continue to exist the way it is at present if it is not to circle through the universe amid other creations and heavenly bodies devoid of all purpose …. Change has to take place, and this act of transformation will be experienced by people to whom God has given the grace to use the final opportunities for achieving maturity. For God has blessed the last days of this earth’s existence by providing blessing upon blessing for people who could certainly reach full maturity by the last day. That the gifts of grace are ignored, that the majority of people do not welcome and thus do not accept them, is only proof that the last days have arrived.

Hence only few will be able to observe the final act of transformation because they accept God’s will and therefore also know of His eternal plan of Salvation. They will not be harmed by the process of transformation as they will be raptured before the last act of destruction of the old earth. And thus the change will merely affect them such that they will change their environment for a kingdom of peace until they are returned to the entirely reshaped earth as root of the new human race. Until the last day, however, others will still have ample opportunity to change and thus save themselves too. For as soon as their spiritual transformation has taken place, as soon as the soul has returned to God, Whom they had adamantly resisted so far, the souls also become aspirants to the kingdom of the blessed and need no longer fear the destruction of the old earth. No creation on the old earth will survive nor will any human being continue to exist who was not lifted to heaven by God’s love beforehand …. The complete destruction of the earth’s surface as a whole will also result in the demise of every creature, and the transformation of any soul capable of change will have been achieved by the hour of the Last Judgment. Hence it depends on the human being’s spiritual change whether he will survive the end of this earthly period and be permitted to re-inhabit the new earth as a child of God ….

All people will still be capable of change but only few will be willing, and thus the earth’s process of transformation will take place, given that people’s will shall no longer take the right direction and earth no longer fulfils its intended purpose. Earthly life is misused …. As a result, the whole of humanity faces a spiritual turning-point. However, it will not happen on the old earth and it will only consciously be experienced by a few people, whilst the majority of people will indeed enter an entirely different developmental stage, hence also be affected by the spiritual turning-point, but in a regressive sense …. they will lose their physical life and continue their existence in a completely different form …. ‘Life’ will have ceased to be and the state of ‘death’ will surround the spiritual essence because it will have failed as a human being, because it did not use its opportunity to change in order to redeem itself.

In the universe, however, the act of transformation will denote an entirely new period of redemption and the conclusion of an era which was extremely significant, because God Himself incarnated on earth in order to exemplify to humanity the change from a human into a divine being, which all people should accomplish. Earth, which carried His physical body, will now have to help the hardened spiritual substances, solid matter, to achieve redemption. Every living thing will have to experience a change of its external form; everything constrained in a form below the human level will have to be able to comply with the impetus for ascent. As a result of earth’s total transformation this will indeed be possible since the love of the divine man Jesus also encompassed the as yet unredeemed spiritual substances which He also intended to help with His act of Salvation. When this period of redemption comes to an end it will also mean the end for all creations in, on and above the earth. Then a continuation of development in the creations of the new earth can commence for all spiritual substances which still need to be redeemed and which, depending on their will towards God, will animate the various forms until their final salvation ….

Amen

The right kind of teacher …. Truth – Error ….

B.D. 4534 from January 7th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

People must hand themselves over to a good teacher if they want to be taught correctly, so long as they don’t come to Me Myself for schooling. They could be instructed by Me directly at all times, yet they would lack the knowledge of this as well as faith. Consequently, they will have to receive the knowledge from somewhere else and need only make sure that the instructor knows the truth and is able to teach them correctly. Being instructed in the truth must be very important to them, therefore they must investigate the origin of the teacher’s knowledge; they should first clarify the relationship the teacher has with Me. Hence, they must first believe in Me as Creator and Father of eternity, they must inwardly acknowledge a Deity and make an effort to get to know this Deity. This is the first condition or hardly anyone would try to penetrate spiritual knowledge. A distinction must be made between people who allow themselves to be instructed and those who want to be instructed …. The first let themselves be pushed into a school without resistance, they let themselves be seized by teachers looking for subjects to whom they want to impart their points of view. The latter look for their own school in order to receive knowledge, and they are serious about attaining the truth. I will come to meet these seekers and guide them to the right teacher. However, since My adversary also wants to gain your soul he will not miss the opportunity to let representatives of error cross your path. Anyone who seeks the truth will also come across incompetent teachers, and therefore indications are given to you that you should conduct an examination in order to entrust yourselves to the right teachers and how you should do this. And again it should be said that your attention must first be drawn to the teacher’s attitude towards Me, whether he spiritedly advocates My Word or whether his lips merely pass My Words on, which is very quickly recognisable for the serious seeker, since the repeat of the living Word ignites the listener’s heart, whereas the lifeless Word is tiring and puts people off listening. Although someone with a hunger for truth can also derive some benefit from this dead Word, he will nevertheless feel dissatisfied with such teachings so that he will expect more, then he should give in to this longing and look for a different teacher. But teachers who inspire people’s keen debates, who repeat My Word animatedly and cause a positive response in people’s heart, whose bond with God can be recognised by their kind and loving nature, are true representatives of My Word and in possession of truth. You can trustingly hand yourselves over to them, they will teach you correctly and contribute to the fact that you will soon establish heartfelt contact with Me and thus can be instructed by My spirit directly, either mentally or through the inner Word. The origin of their knowledge might well be the same with both teachers, both might have gained the knowledge through study, and yet their teaching ability will differ and therefore their knowledge will also be either of purest truth or interspersed with errors, depending on their maturity of soul. For this reason you must always pay attention to the teacher’s way of life, to what extent the human being follows Christ, that is, to what extent he is permeated by love for his neighbour, which will characterise his entire nature and will always be recognisable, because love does not hide itself. Truth can always be found where love is present because it cannot be gained academically; instead, it can only be gained, recognised and taken possession of through the working of the spirit, which is the result of a life of love. And thus it can always be noticed whether a teacher expresses his own thoughts or merely words which have not yet found the right response in his heart and therefore cannot be repeated spiritedly. Test the teachers and choose a suitable teacher for yourselves, for you will come into contact with both. The right ones will lead you to Me, yet the others will not be prevented from approaching you because you can and should decide for yourselves if you seriously want to be taught the truth ….

Amen

Feeding the soul …. God's care for the earthly ….

B.D. 4535 from January 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

Do not only nourish yourselves earthly but remember your soul that it also needs food and more urgently than the body. You worry too much about your earthly well-being and don’t consider that everything is invalid with the hour of death, but that tomorrow can already bring the end of your body’s life and your anxious worry will then be completely useless. But what you have given to the soul it keeps, and that alone is the foundation of the new life in the kingdom of the beyond, it is the capital with which alone you can work. Again and again I want to point out to you that your earthly life will not last much longer and that you should seriously think about the time afterwards, that you provide for yourselves for this time, that you create an acceptable fate for yourselves for eternity. Live a life of unselfish neighbourly love and remember Me often, consciously unite with Me and appeal to Me for My support, and you will no longer need to worry earthly either, for then I will take care of you. How easy I make earthly life for you if only you want to accept My care and help, if you fulfil the conditions which let Me take care of you. You need not worry about earthly things if only you would care for your soul. It goes hungry and starves, while the body is provided with food and drink and all the pleasures of the world. Give food to the soul and offer it the bread and wine of life …. feed it with My word, for it hungers for it; give it spiritual food so that it will mature during earthly life, so that a weak, poorly nourished soul will not enter the kingdom of the beyond but the soul itself will be strengthened at the hour of death, so that it will easily detach itself from the body and enter the kingdom of light through the gate of eternity full of strength and light. You yourselves must help it to increase in strength and light, you must not pay so much attention to the body and its wishes but only satisfy the soul’s desire and give it what it needs, then the body will also be nourished and receive what it needs. But one thing is necessary, that you provide the soul with food and drink so that it does not become incapable of the spiritual kingdom ….

Amen

Power of evil …. strong faith …. "Come all ye to Me …."

B.D. 4536 from January 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

This is the power of the evil one who seeks to destroy those who want to be Mine. He does not let go of them and seeks to exploit every opportunity to push the souls away from Me. And he always creates opportunities by trying to pull the human being back to the world and wants to make him weak. Then great resistance is necessary which in turn requires great strength which only I can give to him. Strengthen yourselves through My word, then you will use the source of strength …. you get in contact with Me and I can supply you with strength without measure. How often have I already given you the assurance that you enjoy My special protection when you are active for Me and My kingdom. Why don’t you keep My word, why is your faith so weak and always threatens to fail? Only a strong faith will let you attain inner peace, and you can attain this if only you let Me speak to you and ponder My words in your heart. Then the adversary will have no power over you either, then he will let you go and flee because you confront him with the power which is stronger than him. Strong faith banishes all harm and can also give a weak person tremendous strength so that he need not fear anything if only he believes. And you must acquire this strength, then you will be able to cope with all the onslaughts of life and be master over life and death …. For you can even command death if you have firm and unshakeable faith. But anxiety and fear are a sign of weak faith and therefore also a lack of trust in My help. Call upon Me in times of need, “come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest ….” Why do you not call this promise to mind, why do you hesitate and try to cope alone with what seems difficult and insurmountable to you? …. Ask for My help and it will be given to you. Draw strength from My word and you will lose all weakness …. do not take a step without Me and your path will be smooth, for I will not leave you in adversity if you call upon Me for help ….

Amen

Earthly knowledge meaningless against spiritual knowledge ….

B.D. 4537 from January 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

Truly I say to you, your spirit will reveal to you greater things than science can ever teach you. You will never receive error if you desire the truth. Therefore you will also be able to do without worldly wisdom, it will be of little use to you, for you will also very soon recognize its worthlessness because My spirit will enlighten you about the actual meaning and purpose of your life. If you possess this knowledge all other knowledge is insignificant, you can call yourselves rich, even though worldly people have no understanding for it and prefer earthly knowledge to spiritual knowledge. But the latter lasts, whereas the former passes away with the moment of death. But anyone who receives spiritual knowledge from above should no longer attach importance to earthly knowledge, for he will not be able to assimilate both together with his heart and intellect because one tries to suppress the other, because both together mean a burden for the human being and the world of thoughts reflects itself to him unclearly and confusedly. Be satisfied with the spiritual instructions, know that you should mature very quickly and that only that which the spirit from Me informs you of is of sole value …. Know that worldly knowledge is invalid as soon as the last great battle begins, as soon as the last phase begins. What I say to you through your spirit will secure your spiritual as well as earthly life, yet you will no longer be able to utilize worldly knowledge; only works of neighbourly love which require earthly science will bring blessings to those who practice them, although spiritual truths will also bring them far more spiritual advantage. My spirit’s voice is truly irreplaceable, earthly science, however, is not entirely needed unless it seeks to bring enlightenment in order to heal people from error which undermines faith in Me. But then the earthly scientist is already filled by My spirit and draws his knowledge from Me Who also supports him in earthly matters. But as soon as you pay more attention to earthly knowledge My spirit steps back and remains silent and waiting, and then it depends on you yourselves whether it continues its teachings, whether it imparts spiritual truths to you. As long as you are in the world you must indeed also conscientiously fill the post which is assigned to you, nevertheless, you should often let the spirit in you become effective which gives you more of the truth in one hour than you can ever experience through earthly teachers ….

Amen

Spreading the divine word …. seeping water ….

B.D. 4538 from January 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

What you receive from above is intended for all people …. This means first of all that it can help the salvation of every person who takes notice of it, that it therefore signifies a means of grace for every person which secures his ascent upwards if he uses it. It will not lose its effect on one person or another if he does not make the effect impossible himself through his behaviour or attitude towards the divine word. It is therefore in truth a source from which everyone can refresh himself …. But the circle which takes notice of it can be smaller or larger, depending on the will of the person who is to carry it out into the world as My disciple. My word speaks for itself, and once it has found acceptance it will also spread again; My word will not lose its strength but it requires lively activity for Me and My kingdom if it is to spread widely. You humans can all contribute a lot to this if you take notice of what is brought to you. And everyone will also do this of his own accord if he is touched by My word in his heart, then he will be urged to convey the same to his fellow human beings and My word will then promote itself. However, the extent to which it now asserts itself depends on people’s will whether they want to be taught and receive the delicious gift from above. For the will is free and is not influenced by Me in any way ….

The word from on high will spread far and wide, even though its point of origin on earth appears hidden from public view. It will seep out in all directions like water and again and again refresh thirsty people, yet the world pays no attention to it, and there are only a few of those who take pleasure in it because other things are more desirable to people than My word. Only a few ever accept it, and therefore the truth will only be spread very little, even though My disciples work diligently for Me. And thus it is not My fault that the world does not take notice of My gift, of the truth, which alone brings them salvation, but humanity itself does not want this light, it wants to remain in the dark and rather seeks to extinguish the light than to enter the circle of light …. Yet where there is a desiring heart I also truly direct the flow of grace of My love, for I show My disciples the paths which lead past their door, and everywhere I knock through those. And where only a small crack is opened, the living water seeps through …. Whoever therefore believes in My word, it will now constantly flow towards him and draw wide circles again, because it is a water of life which never stands still and also always has a revitalizing effect on the one who surrenders himself to its effect …. However, the fact that My word, measured by humanity, receives so little attention and spreads is due to the resistance of the human being himself, which I will never forcibly break. Yet I truly offer enough opportunities, but who uses them? …. But one day there will be bitter remorse among all those to whom I conveyed My word commanded from above and experienced its rejection …. For My love offers you humans a priceless gift of grace, yet you do not recognize its value because you love the world and desire its treasures ….

Amen

People’s deliberate rejection of the divine Word ….

B.D. 4539 from January 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

It is remarkable how few people allow themselves to be affected by the divine Word, how little notice they take of the fact that it is conveyed to them in an unusual way, and how often they inwardly object to it and silently or openly reject it. People are already strongly influenced by God’s adversary who clouds their power of judgment and has weakened their will, hence they neither recognise nor do they want to recognise what they are lacking and what could help them. That which is most important seems utterly unimportant to them, they only pay attention to the body’s demands and have little spiritual interests. This also explains why the divine Word is only occasionally recognised as truth and sends its rays of light in the surrounding area …. Only a few people will feel the strength of the divine Word affecting them and thereby mature psychologically. The Gospel will certainly by carried to all places, but it will not find open doors everywhere, and thus tiny lights will only glow now and then and cannot expel the darkness of night which is spread across the Earth. It will only be bright and clear where the light from above is kindled, where the directly offered Word is accepted, whose effect on people is unsurpassed. And thus it is not down to the Word itself, nor to the activity of God’s messengers, instead, the fact that the divine Word will not find the wider distribution necessary for the human race to heal spiritually and to prepare itself for the Last Judgment is entirely due to people’s deliberate rejection. Countless threads are woven between Heaven and Earth, just as many threads stretch out from the Earth itself into all directions, the news of God’s extraordinary working reaches all places and therefore could also be spread into all directions, yet time and again the threads reach a dead end and, on account of respecting free will, it is impossible to convey the divine Word to people as long as they inwardly deliberately reject it. Hence it is necessary to campaign and work incessantly, and as soon as only one person accepts the message from above a great rescue mission will have been accomplished, and God conveys His Word to earth for the sake of these individual souls, so that they will find the path to Him before the end arrives, before night sets in and extinguishes all light …. Amen

Destiny …. purification possibilities ….

B.D. 4540 from January 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

Do not rebel against fate if it seems hard to you, otherwise you rebel against Me. I know that you suffer and how you suffer, but that this suffering is also necessary for your soul. And if you desire a better fate for yourselves in eternity, you must regard earthly life as a short time of preparation for the actual life in eternity, which is intended to prepare you for it. But you can only be suitable for the spiritual kingdom if your soul can bear My nearness. This state therefore has to be reached on earth in order to be a candidate for the spiritual kingdom, and this requires a strict school where the soul is exposed to opportunities for purification which should and will bring it success if it is willing. Therefore life must offer such purification opportunities, and these only exist in opportunities for serving neighbourly love or in suffering of the most varied kind. You humans have now become very lukewarm in your work of love and therefore need the second means of purification …. Suffering in an intensified form. I would never let people suffer, because My love for My living creations is exceedingly great. Yet without suffering no human being would mature but be in greatest danger of completely detaching himself from Me and becoming attached to matter. And I want to prevent this, and thus I often use violent means, I approach you through sorrowful events in order to induce you to come to Me, to unite with Me and to receive the strength directly from Me in order not to succumb. I know about your development, about your will since eternity, and therefore your fate is also My work and imposed on you in wise foresight of its possibility of success. And therefore you should not grumble or complain but always bear in mind that I have intended everything for you, joy and suffering, and if suffering oppresses you excessively, remember that your earthly life is no more long but that increased suffering also ensures your spiritual progress. Rejoice that you may suffer, for My love has intended it for you because I want to help you become perfect in order to be united with you forever ….

Amen

Existence of God …. Worldly scholars …. Heart and intellect ….

B.D. 4541 from January 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

The worldly scholar often finds it difficult to believe in a Deity because his intellect is forced to conclude otherwise due to knowledge which, however, does not entirely correspond to the truth. Simply a mistaken view concerning the evolution of the earth leads to wrong ideas, and then it is difficult to acknowledge an eternal Creator, a Being which could certainly be recognised by its expression of strength, but whose recognition is usually not wanted. Science attempts to prove everything. However, where this is not possible it does not admit its inability but simply refuses to acknowledge what is outside the scope of its research. And thus it is based on a wrong concept, and the path to the eternal Deity is ultimately very difficult to find, even if the will to do so exists.

All kinds of research activity should start by revealing God’s existence, which admittedly cannot be proven but which can be believed with complete inner conviction. Such research will then progress quickly and successfully. But to achieve this certain belief the human being, in spite of his keen intellect, has to disregard the latter for the time being and dedicate himself to the feeling of his heart, he has to leave all science to one side and, like a child, allow himself to be taught from within, i.e. he has to accept what his feeling imagines or wants as the truth. Effectively, he has to dream with open eyes. Then he will always find a Deity, Who directs and guides everything, and he will know that he is supported by It.

A human being’s innermost desire is and remains a strong power above himself; however, worldly intellect attempts to stifle this because it is also spoken to by the one who wants to supplant the Deity but who is unable to enter the human heart and instead attempts to influence the human intellect all the more. God expresses Himself through the heart, his adversary expresses himself through the intellect, unless the heart is stronger and persuades the intellect to be on its side. In that case it is also possible to recognise God intellectually, heart and intellect will aspire to the eternal Deity and then science will also build on a different foundation, it will draw different conclusions which will definitely not be false ones. Because once an investigation with belief in a Deity begins it will sooner or later achieve success and also come close to the truth, irrespective to which field it is applied. Then science and belief will no longer contradict but merely complement each other, and only then will knowledge be free from error, when it is in harmony with the belief in God as an omnipotent, wise and loving Being Which governs everything that was, is and remains in eternity ….

Amen

Development of the soul independent of physical advantages ….

B.D. 4542 from January 16th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

The nature of the earthly body has nothing to do with the soul’s development, it only affects the soul differently, so that every person is fully offered the opportunity to mature on earth. Spiritual abilities can certainly lead to faster perfection but on the other hand they are also a danger for the human being that he exploits them in an earthly, i.e. material way and hinders rather than supports the soul in its upward striving. A well-developed intellect should certainly be able to easily recognize the eternal creator and His working, yet a primitive person is usually more devout, who lets his heart rather than his intellect speak, whereas the intellectual person often presumes to be able to fathom everything by virtue of his intellect and therefore rejects what he is unable to fathom. But what the intellect alone cannot do is possible with the power and grace of God …. And thus one can certainly say that it is a grace to be able to believe and to penetrate spiritual truths, a grace which, as a gift from God, must also result in the soul’s upward development …. But this gift of grace has to be requested or accepted or it will remain ineffective. God gave the human being earthly life for the purpose of perfecting the soul, which is still far away from God. Due to its deficient state the soul is weak and ignorant, it would never take and cover the path to ascent on its own strength if God did not want to help it always and constantly. And this help is grace which approaches the human being in many different forms, which certainly strongly stimulates the human being’s will but does not force it. If the human being allows himself to be stimulated by it, grace will become effective in him, if he rejects it or acts inactively, then he will not make use of grace and will not be able to progress. However, God’s grace is often not recognized as such, and only obvious phenomena of spiritual development are regarded and acknowledged as grace from above. However, people are unaware of the fact that every human being can constantly receive grace and that God’s source of grace is never exhausted, indeed, they even start from the false assumption that people are already considered differently by God in their physical constitution and can therefore also mature differently. This much is certain, that physical advantages, gifts, talents and special abilities often make a spiritual maturing more difficult, because the will must first become active and is much more inclined to exploit such advantages earthly. So they are, to a certain extent, gifts of grace, but if they are not used, they are completely ineffective. The human being is constantly in the midst of graces because God’s love is constantly looking for means to help him to ascend. Everything that approaches him is a possibility of help, and thus everything is also grace which will always be effective if the human being consciously asks for the supply of grace, if he constantly unites himself with God in thought, through prayer or through loving activity. Then he will also use the graces according to God’s will. But a gift of grace with a special effect is His word, which is offered to you humans from above …. And again, the decisive factor is whether it is accepted by people, whether the gift of grace becomes effective in the individual and he wants to derive benefit for his soul from it. Anyone who has God’s word, who accepts it from above or from the mouths of His servants on earth, certainly has an extraordinary opportunity to mature, thus he is in possession of an exceedingly great grace from God, yet even this grace can be carelessly rejected if it does not want to be recognized as grace. And again, the primitively thinking person can be at an advantage who emotionally confesses the divine word, whereas the person blessed with all abilities only lets his intellect speak and rejects what the heart faithfully accepts. Thus graces can come to the human being unmeasured …. they want to be recognized and accepted as blessings, otherwise they are and will remain completely ineffective and the human being’s development will come to a standstill because he does not make use of the blessings which God, however, in His infinite love bestows upon all His living creations because He wants everyone to become blissfully happy ….

Last hour …. nightfall …. light bearers ….

B.D. 4543 from January 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

The world clock shows the last hour …. Do you know what this means? That you are close to the end, that then a night will dawn of dreadful darkness for all spiritual beings which have not found their way to the light, to Me. But light twilight is still spread over the earth, there are still rays of light which shine in the vicinity and make it possible for people to find their way. And you should turn towards these rays of light, you should not believe that they constantly shine, for when night has fallen this light will also be carried to where there is no darkness but where you humans can no longer reach if you have not already taken the right path. Make haste, for the little lights that can be your salvation will only burn for a short time. The first shadows of the night are already descending, and what the night means for you humans on this earth I will constantly inform you of …. Greatest darkness surrounds you and makes you incapable of all activity. You will stay in agonizing surroundings and will not be able to free yourselves from the shackles into which you will be beaten due to your desire for the goods of this earth. And there will no longer be any life in you, no strength for activity, for darkness paralyses all strength which the human being otherwise called his own. And the night will last endlessly before a ray of light will break through again. There is still light on earth despite the advanced time of day, My sun of grace still shines sporadically and tries to have an effect on people’s hearts, the path upwards is still recognizably in front of you, again and again bearers of light step into your path, drawing your attention to the unevenness and dangers which threaten you if the night surprises you. But you can still finish the path if you are not tardy; it is only very short and the nightfall can already find you at the final destination and no longer harm you if you only hurry to get on the right path and follow the light which is lit everywhere for the wandering travellers so that they walk correctly and reach the destination. But woe betide you when the night descends and you stand in darkness and can no longer see a little light …. then your fate will be decided, then there will be no more light for you for endless times, you will have to languish in the night of death, and your fate will be a bitter one due to your own guilt ….

Amen

Follow Me …. '

B.D. 4544 from January 18th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

Follow Me and the goal that has been set for you since the beginning will be reached by you on earth already. You have to make the effort to live a life of love which will bring you very close to the One Who is eternal love Himself. And if you now bear My life on earth in mind and for the sake of the act of Salvation appeal to Me for reinforcement of your will, you will also find it easy to live in love, for I will help you and constantly provide you with opportunities which enable you to live up to your will to love if you feel the urge to do so.

My life on earth was only a practical application of selfless neighbourly love. And the result was the unification of the Father, the Eternal Love, with Me, so that I could use His strength and might, His light and wisdom like My own possession. I was permeated by His spirit, by His strength and by His light …. And thus everything was possible for Me since God Himself was working in Me. As a human being I demonstrated that it is not impossible to be filled by the divine spirit, that thus every human being is able to work the miracles and signs I performed, that the human being can shape himself such that he, as an image of God, can utilize all powers and thus also accomplish whatever he wants.

Follow Me …. all of God’s strength is at your disposal, He does not impose any restrictions on you, He gives without measure, and you may use everything He wants to impart because He loves you …. Follow Me …. live a life of selfless neighbourly love and you will become perfect and be able to constantly enjoy God’s love and blessing. I speak to you as a human being, just as I walked on earth as a human being, Who equally had to attain divine strength through a life of love, and Who was also only able to accomplish the unification with the eternal Deity through love ….

I will show you the path which you only need to travel in order to then also recognise the truth of My Word. Let yourselves be urged by Me onto this path, don’t offer Me any resistance, try to do kind-hearted deeds and your strength will increase, your will to love will be stimulated, for love itself is strength and if you practice it, whatever you give will also flow back to you again as strength …. Try it and let My Words touch your hearts, let yourselves be called by Me and follow Me …. I Am the voice in the wilderness of your life. Everything around you threatens to wither away if you don’t irrigate the arid area with the divine flow of love …. if you don’t develop all good instincts through love and increase the strength within you. Do not let My call go unheeded, take notice of it and bear in mind that I don’t demand anything impossible from you, for I Myself as a human being had set an example for you as to what love and a human being’s will are capable of achieving …. Follow Me, and you will be and remain blissfully happy for all eternity ….

Amen

Necessity and blessing of spiritual work ….

B.D. 4545 from January 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

Only that which remains eternally is of value to the soul, and only that which brings success to the soul should be striven for, otherwise the human being wastes his strength which is given to him for the purpose of the soul’s ascent development. The human being’s thoughts constantly revolve around earthly questions and obligations, yet all these questions are solved for the spiritually striving person and every assistance is granted to him for the fulfilment of earthly duties. And this is why spiritual striving is the most important, for then the human being will comply with both insofar as spiritual beings will also assist him with earthly demands, as soon as the human being first thinks of his soul and meets its requirements. But you humans lack faith in the support of otherworldly forces, which is why earthly worries always and constantly weigh you down and prevent you from the spiritual activity which you offered yourselves to Me to accomplish for Me and My kingdom. Why do you have doubts that you are not up to the work? If I promise you My support you can carry out any work without hesitation, it will be blessed by Me and therefore always feasible for you as soon as you put spiritual work first and thereby secure My blessing. I need you and therefore also help you in every way. People’s spiritual hardship is becoming ever greater, the possibility to help ever smaller, because only few people can be found who have directed their senses spiritually and are therefore suitable as a link between Me and people. Only through them can I help people in their great adversity, because I can speak to them through them.

And it is necessary that I speak to people …. although they don’t recognize My voice, they don’t attach great importance to the words which reach their ears through human mouths; nevertheless, they must hear what I have to say to them so that they cannot feign ignorance if they have to answer for it. They shall have knowledge of My will and receive this knowledge from My servants on earth. Understandably, I will now also give My servants on earth what they need because they are willing to serve Me. But they must always put the activity for Me and My kingdom in the foreground, then every earthly worry will be taken away from them, they will be cared for like children to whom all the father’s love applies. The work for My kingdom is extremely important, for the earthly world will pass away but the soul will not pass away with it, instead it will continue its life in the kingdom of the beyond, and therefore it shall be thought of first, then the earthly work will also be blessed, it will be able to be accomplished because the human being will be granted support by spiritual beings who is active as a labourer in the vineyard of the lord ….

Attainment of childhood of God ….

B.D. 4546 from January 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

You have now entered a stage of development where the last decision you still have to make on earth applies. This is the end of your earthly career, that you must openly confess to which power you want to be subject and where this decision is now decisive for your fate in eternity. Then your course of development on earth will be over. Your soul will then leave the sphere of earthly material creations and enter the spiritual sphere, where it can continue its course of development if it has the necessary strength, but it can also remain in its degree of development or sink back into an earlier degree of development. But one possibility is taken away from it …. to acquire the degree of childship to God, which it can, however, attain on earth. The human being’s last decision on this earth is so significant because it results in the right of childship if it is correct, that is, if the human being has passed the test of earthly life in God’s will. If this last decision of faith is demanded of you humans, you must be aware of the consequences, for then you will decide your own eternity, you will have the most exquisite thing at your disposal, you will be able to grasp it with your hands, which should be the aim and aspiration of people on earth: the childship to God …. Great demands will be placed on you and you will have to acquire the reward under the most difficult conditions, yet the struggle which arises from it will only last a short time in order to give way to a glorious victory …. the most blissful fate in eternity. To possess the childship to God is synonymous with palpable fatherly love, God’s constant presence, unlimited light and strength and everlasting contemplation of God and a constant stay in the most light-filled surroundings, be it in the spiritual kingdom or on the new earth which, as paradise, will now become the abode of God’s children for the beginning of the new epoch of redemption. Bliss truly outweighs the hardship and suffering of the last time of struggle on this earth, moreover, people will experience extraordinary strengthening who have the will to remain faithful to God and to fulfil His will. Thus it will certainly seem unbearable to the unbelievers what the believers take upon themselves for their faith, yet the believer himself will be able to withstand every tribulation due to the supply of strength and grace from God. For he has already reached a level of development where God’s strength can directly flow over to him. Nevertheless, there will also be weak people who are in danger of falling away and whom God will have mercy on because He knows their will from eternity. And therefore many will still enter the spiritual kingdom beforehand so that they can continue their course of development there and not fall into the danger of falling away from God due to their weakness of will and faith. But inevitably the development on this earth will come to an end …. Inevitably the earth and its creations will experience a total transformation, inevitably all life on it will die, death will reap a rich harvest, but this will happen spiritually, for whoever remains alive at the end belongs to the group of God’s children who will be raptured from this earth with a living body, but all others are a prey of death who lose their bodily life and whose souls will also be banished as completely spiritually dead into hardest matter, into the new creations of earth, because an ascent development in the spiritual kingdom has become impossible for them. The end to be expected now is exceedingly significant and cannot be presented to you humans responsibly enough. Yet only a few will take notice of these indications, only the small circle of God-faithful people who strive for God’s childship and are therefore also informed of God’s eternal plan of salvation, of the end and the last judgment …. And this knowledge will also give them the strength to endure until the lord Himself comes in the clouds to fetch His own home when the time comes ….

Amen

Retribution …. Sin and atonement ….

B.D. 4547 from January 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 52

The God of righteousness will redress everything, and thus the conduct of humankind will indeed find its atonement, but not always in the way you humans consider right. God’s wisdom recognises people’s weaknesses, their moral degree of maturity and the souls’ imperfect state, and thus He sometimes makes use of means which can also result in the opposite, because the human being himself is striving towards the abyss as long as he still expects advantage from it …. Consequently, he must first try to release himself from earthly cravings, otherwise the injustice will keep growing and God will have to balance things increasingly more, which signifies immensely difficult times on earth and an often unbearable fate in the beyond. For every injustice must be atoned for, unless the divine Saviour and Redeemer takes the guilt upon Himself and redeems it through His crucifixion which, however, presupposes total devotion to Him and the will to live a way of life according to His commandments. In that case, the human being will have already attained a level of improvement which assures him forgiveness of his sins. But anyone who does not believe in Christ’s act of Salvation must inevitably make

Amends for the guilt himself on earth or in the beyond. The world, however, is inconceivably entrenched in sin, consequently, the earthly adversity is likewise inconceivably immense and brings forth one iniquity after another. Someone who recognises and abhors it is no longer part of it yet he will suffer because of it, because every light-desiring person will experience darkness as pain. Yet the hour of Judgment is not far away anymore, retribution is inevitable, and therefore you humans should not doubt God’s justice …. Human will as well as Satan’s activity must be allowed free rein so that people will show their true instincts, so that a decision of will is made, which can be good or evil, and good and evil must therefore be seen in order to affirm or to abhor it. But don’t think that retribution will fail to materialise …. For sooner or later the day will come when every individual person will have to justify himself for his thoughts, intentions and actions …. and the closer it is to the end the more evident becomes the raging of the dark forces and thus also the onslaught against the righteous, who shrink back from the devils in human form and call upon God’s justice …. Retribution, however, will not fail to materialise ….
