Choose a proclamation

Love wins ….

B.D. 4619 from April 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You have been shown a path which is easily passable but which you should travel together with Me, Who always wants to be with you as your friend and guide if you allow Me to stay in your hearts. You do not yet know your future path of life, it is still hidden from you, because you should do completely uninfluenced what you would later have to do under compulsion, but which will bring you far more blessings if you act of your own free will …. There is no other path for you, you have entered the right path and must follow it to the end in order to reach the aim. And I will always push you back if you want to deviate, and you will not oppose My loving guidance, for I announce My will to you through the heart. And therefore you will carry out what you are urged to do, and it will truly be according to My will …. It is an immutable law that love will prevail, and therefore the one who carries love within himself will be stronger. For the sake of this strength of love My will is the same, because I approve of everything that comes forth from love, thus also a desire which concerns unification, for if love generates this desire it is a feeling placed in the heart by Me which you humans need not resist but which you can confidently fulfil with the awareness of My blessing. I want you to serve Me together, thus I also want your union; yet the desire has to come from within yourselves and I will take care of it when the time is right.

Amen

The working of the spirit in the wakeful state …. Evidence: reasons ….

B.D. 4620 from April 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

It is intended for you to receive My Word in the wakeful state, for this gives you the evidence of My working in you through the spirit. You should compose yourselves in prayer and enter into heartfelt contact with Me by excluding the world from your thoughts, you should completely hand yourselves over to Me and listen within to My voice. Then it will speak to you gently and subtly, depending on your maturity of soul it will be either audibly or mentally, yet always coming forth from Me and not from you. In this prepared state you are incapable of achieving the kind of mental work which corresponds to the content of My proclamations. You are in the state of a listener and not of a speaker. And if you want to clarify the difference: the listener can remain passive whereas the speaker needs to be active. Depending on his state of maturity his spiritual ear is developed such that he can understand My incoming Word although it sounds extremely gently in his heart. The depth of feeling is therefore the decisive factor for an effortless reception of My Word, and accordingly will be the proclamations’ depth of content, which are intended for him and through him for his fellow human beings; this is why you must differentiate between spiritual knowledge which shall be conveyed to fellow human beings and the Words I grant to My children as a loving Father if they suffer fear and adversity and are in need of comforting Words, which certainly provide the evidence of My compassion to all people yet are particularly given to those who call upon Me in their distress for help. I will always answer those who want to hear Me and speak to them through the spirit …. as I have promised you. You are meant to hear Me, yet in a fully conscious state, for I don’t conceal Myself behind a form which is so weak that it gives up its own will and in an unconscious state allows an unfamiliar will to take possession of it.

I constantly caution you strongly against the results of spiritual beings which manifest themselves in this way, which instantly seize a weak will with their thoughts and then try to transfer these to people. But I also caution you against preventing the obvious working of the spirit or to deny My working in a person who clearly and in an aware state receives revelations from above. And I want to give you a reliable characteristic of My working which you can always use to make the test …. My Words, which I spoke to people on Earth, will be explained such that they can be logically substantiated to every scholar, every person having become academically knowledgeable, and these reasons will never contradict themselves, because it is My Word, which always remains the same and its meaning testifies to profound wisdom. Anyone who has truly penetrated this Word of Mine will hear Me Myself speaking, thus recognise My presence, if he reads My Word or it is audibly conveyed to him. And this feeling of hearing Me Myself speaking is the most certain guarantee for My working and is intended to dispel the person’s every doubt. For I approach people in the Word, I Myself Am the Word, and those who believe in Me and want to be My Own will hear Me. My Word will affect them like a loving Father’s voice which is obeyed by a child and therefore is also loved by the Father and will be endowed with His gift of grace as often as it wants to receive it. Therefore let yourselves be guided and taught by your feeling, for I Myself place this into your heart and error will never influence you such that you are willing to diligently defend it. For I protect everyone from obscure or deceptive feelings if he has the sincere will to work as My disciple during the last days, because I need these true labourers in My vineyard and therefore also grant them the ability to distinguish between right and wrong ….

Amen

No partial knowledge …. light beings as teachers …. only truth ….

B.D. 4621 from April 23rd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

I tell you that you need have no doubts about the truth of the proclamations offered to you from above, because I Myself watch over what spiritual knowledge is imparted to you and because I will never ever tolerate erring or untrue forces making use of you in order to impart their spiritual knowledge to people. Many beings of light are certainly willing to participate in people’s instructions, and these beings of light are so knowledgeable themselves that they can be unhesitatingly recognized as teachers and the value of divine revelations can be attributed to their impartations. For as soon as a being is receptive to light it dwells in the kingdom of light and, since it always receives light, can also constantly emit light. These will only impart purest truth to people, moreover, they always act in My will, which is also their will. They are commissioned by Me for their teaching activity, thus it is not possible to speak of partial knowledge, for the knowledge they possess far exceeds that which they impart to people. Thus they can very well provide a teacher for people, they will never impart worldly or (wrong) spiritual teachings which do not correspond to the truth. At the same time they will also be able to give people the ability of realization, which they are equipped and also entitled to do by Me, because pure truth is to be imparted to people and this can only happen in such a way that beings which have spiritual knowledge also transfer it to people.

(24.4.1949) As soon as a person has prepared himself to receive spiritual gifts, as soon as he is in contact with the spiritual kingdom and receives mental knowledge in a fully conscious state, beings of light are his teachers, for this spiritual state completely corresponds to My will, it is a degree of ascent development which all people should strive for, thus such people will not allow themselves to fall into the power of beings which want to impart misguided mental knowledge to them and harm the souls instead of leading them towards perfection. Consider seriously what you expect of Me if you assume that a person who wants to serve Me is influenced by evil forces. You then either deny Me love or wisdom or power if I could not or would not prevent such. I want My living creations to recognize and learn to love Me, thus I will not want or know how to prevent a person striving towards Me from being offered untruth if I endow countless beings of light with the ability or the power to convey the truth to those who desire it. I want people to turn to Me and can only achieve this if people learn to recognize Me. For this purpose the truth has to be offered to them without fail, and therefore I, as the eternal truth, will do everything in My power to impart it to people and to push back the beings of darkness, which can therefore certainly also exert their influence on people but only if they abandon themselves to them through a way of life which contradicts My will. For these people will have no desire for the truth and therefore it will not be offered to them, especially since they do not consciously establish a spiritual connection either but only gather purely intellectual thoughts and those ignorant forces try to influence these thoughts in order to obscure the truth and spread lies and error. But you can easily check this, for what points to Me is good, what leads away from Me is the adversary’s influence, who fights against Me and wants to defeat Me but will never achieve victory over Me ….

Amen

Visible appearance shortly before the end as proof of God's love ….

B.D. 4622 from April 25th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

A visible sign shall prove My presence to you if you receive My word from the mouth of a disciple whom I Myself have chosen as an instrument. If you listen to him you will have an apparition which will remind you of My crucifixion and yet make you happy. You will feel Me close to you and a holy awe will seize you before My love which so visibly manifests itself to you. And every one of My words will penetrate your heart and remain unforgettable to you, an overwhelming bliss will fill you, and full of devotion you will assure Me of your love and want to serve Me, and I will accept your resolution because I need labourers in the last time before the end. But I have won you for eternity …. Anyone who has once felt My nearness no longer takes any other path than the one which leads to the aim, to Me, and I have won his soul for eternity. I already draw your attention to the fact that I will express Myself because I do not want you to regard something as a coincidence which is to prove Me Myself and My love for you, and if this promise of Mine comes true, you should reckon that you are only granted a short period of time which you should use to unite with Me ever more intimately, and firmly believe in an end and in My return in the clouds. Then I will physically appear to all those who persevere until the end and fetch them to Me. And your bliss will find no limits, because then you will always be allowed to be close to Me and thus constantly enjoy My presence ….

Amen

Adversity and suffering as educational means …. Increase of strength ….

B.D. 4623 from April 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The time ahead of you will require all your strength if you want to do justice to the demands life expects of you. I must repeatedly inform you of this in order to make you understand that you can increase the measure of strength yourselves and that it is your own choice as to whether earthly life is difficult or easy for you to bear. For this reason I often let you experience hardship and adversity in order to educate you for this time, when you will only be able to master life if you obtain the strength from Me, if you appeal to Me for it or acquire it through neighbourly actions of love. I constantly remind you of this time by placing you in positions of feeling helpless and abandoned, so that you will turn your eyes and your heart to Me, Who always wants to stand by your side as your guide and advisor. Yet it always necessitates a prayer, as this demonstrates your will towards Me. I will not provide you with strength against your will, since this would make you unsuitable for the battle of survival in the time to come; however, the slightest pleading thought to Me will call Me to your side, then you will noticeably feel the influx of strength and your faith will become stronger, and that is My intention. Only your heartfelt union with Me with make life bearable for you, for then no earthly worry will depress you because you will leave everything to Me and truly not do badly, because a child which unconditionally entrusts itself to the Father will never be disappointed by Him. And thus you can also be certain of being helped in every way, by merely believing in My love and My omnipotence, for I will truly not leave anyone in adversity who takes refuge in Me ….

Spiritual concentration before acceptance …. Strict self-criticism ….

B.D. 4624 from April 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You must first create a spiritual focal point before you are able to accept My Word. This part has to be observed, otherwise earthly thoughts will still stop the spiritual influx by coming to the fore and being accepted, although with serious aspirants they are only briefly disruptive because the powers of light assert themselves and prevent the earthly world from exerting a strong influence on the person, that is, they soon direct his thoughts to the spiritual realm.

Thus it can indeed cause minor discrepancies, vague definitions or indistinct and poorly worded sentence structures which, however, are of no importance and thus do not devalue or make the great spiritual knowledge appear dubious in any way. Yet care should always be taken only to regard a proclamation as such if the spiritual bond has been established whereby the recipient has therefore totally detached himself from earthly experiences. You are still too much under the influence of the world, consequently your thoughts still revolve around matter; you are still too preoccupied with worldly things and therefore cannot always liberate yourselves from spiritually meaningless notions and traditions, but you will always have to break down a barrier first, i.e., you must leave everything behind you in order to stay in the spiritual kingdom, and the more liberated and carefree you enter it the more receptive you will be for the treasures which are offered to you there.

However, the separation of spiritual knowledge from earthly notions will come easy to you, and therefore you can unhesitatingly endorse the truth of that which was imparted to you, and you need not take offence to that which is spiritually irrelevant. Therefore you will not spread error, you should only ever scrutinise yourselves as to whether and when you are prepared to receive My Word, that is, when is the inner contact established so that you can hear Me Myself …. I know of your will and take account of it, therefore I protect everyone who wants to be of service to Me and in complete desire for truth appeals to Me for the same …. And for this reason you can unreservedly accept what you are offered in this form ….

Amen

Right knowledge awakens faith and love for God ….

B.D. 4625 from April 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Penetrate spiritual knowledge and you will not lack evidence of My might and glory and My love. As soon as this knowledge is made accessible to you, every connection will become clear to you and everything will appear to you to be well-founded; you will recognize that a being looks after you, My living creations, and is active for you, and this in unsurpassable wisdom. And you will learn to love Me and strive towards Me. The darkness of spirit, the complete ignorance of spiritual things also has an effect in an impersonal relationship with Me, mostly in complete unbelief and total rejection. Only knowledge awakens faith and love, even if knowledge remains unproven, yet the idea that it could be as spiritually knowledgeable people portray it awakens in the human being the desire to enter into an intimate relationship with the being, Who thus shall preside in perfection over the whole of creation with all beings. Spiritual knowledge must be presented to the human being if love for Me is to be ignited and become a bright flame. Spiritual knowledge indeed first emerges from love for Me, yet if it is first conveyed to the intellect from outside it can then also penetrate the heart, thus determine the human being’s thinking and will, and then the light will shine brighter for him and also warm him from within, only then will it become a true light which can no longer be extinguished; then the intellect is, as it were, the stimulus for an act of feeling, for the transformation of the inner human being into love …. a love which at first is meant for the unknown controller of infinity, but which slowly also extends to everything created. And this flame of love illuminates the spirit, and this now gives man enlightenment in all spiritual questions. The thus knowledgeable human being will no longer want to lose or discard his knowledge, for it satisfies him and spurs him on to spiritual debates. But the person who has become knowledgeable will also no longer lose his love for Me as the creator and sustainer of eternity and thus also establish the right relationship with Me, he will want to remain united with Me and strive towards Me, and his whole being will demonstrate the change towards love, for true knowledge leads to love and thus to beatitude ….

Amen

Saviour of body and soul ….

B.D. 4626 from May 1st 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You should bring all your cares to Me, for I Am truly the greatest Saviour and able to take every ailment from you, Who is able to grant health to your body and soul and bestow you with an eternally indestructible life. Even though you are required to use earthly medications, without My blessing the objective of these medicines will be defeated; whereas I can also bless the sick person to become healthy in accordance with My will without external remedies. And I will do this as soon as I recognise that his suffering is no longer necessary, as soon as it has achieved its purpose and contributed towards the purification of the soul. For the sickness of soul is related to that of the body. You humans have no idea what a large factor physical illness plays in the soul’s higher development and how grateful the soul will be one day that it was allowed to take this path in the flesh, and a much shorter path of earthly life resulted in its greater maturity.

Therefore, when you suffer you should only ever pray ‘Father, your will be done ….’ Then I will do My part just as you do yours, I will come to you as Saviour of body and soul and your recovery will be ensured. Bear your fragile body for the sake of your soul’s strength and know that it will find it much easier to develop and look for unity with the spiritual kingdom if its body does not offer resistance, which it always does in a healthy state. Then the soul will be beautiful when it leaves its physical shell …. But in order for you to become conscious of My presence and My work, the healing process will happen quickly if you completely devoutly expect the miracle, if you thus believe that nothing is impossible for My might and strength and that My love is always intended for you and therefore also wants to help you. Firm faith is the best remedy which will never fail …. Bring all your cares to Me and you will be set free from them, but come with a strong, unwavering faith and I will not let it be destroyed ….

Amen

God's blessing on His servants ….

B.D. 4627 from May 1st 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Anyone who makes it his task to serve Me and thus works for the kingdom of God without striving for worldly interests can also constantly be assured of My approval and My support, for his work will then be subject to My guidance and will be right if he commends himself to Me and My grace, thus requests My blessing for it. For his thinking will be guided from the start if he places himself at My disposal of his own free will. Only few people are willing to carry out spiritual work, because the material attitude makes spiritual work seem unattractive, and therefore I give all My love to the few who give themselves to Me with their labour, and I will support their work in every way. The only thing that should always be taken into account is that the feeling of the heart should be more important than the results of the intellect, for I speak to My servants on earth through the heart, and they should always pay attention to their feeling if they have previously commended themselves and their work to Me. Then every question will be answered by itself, every indecision will be clarified, and the work will progress and result in fullest satisfaction. And then every earthly activity will also be blessed, because My labourers are worthy of a right reward and I cover their earthly needs as soon as they are active for Me. My kingdom is not of this world …. and as long as you still dwell on earth you should try to establish the bond with that kingdom and you will derive the richest blessings, because My kingdom can grant you everything, spiritual and earthly treasures; because anyone who wants to work for My kingdom need not live in want either, for I will take care of his life so that he can carry out his spiritual activity unhindered for the benefit of all who take notice of it and whose mind is spiritually directed ….

Amen

Effect of the divine word on man …. previous intimate connection ….

B.D. 4628 from May 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

My word must touch you well and wisely so that you recognize it as My word, for if eternal love expresses itself it also emanates love, and thus I make Myself known in wise communications which are intended to help you recognize and love Me again. My word must therefore appear good and wise to you in order to be accepted as My word. And you will recognize it emotionally …. you will also feel My presence with My word, it will not seem different to you as if I Myself speak to you, and then you will know that the living word is with you and the bond with Him is established by you. Anyone who has My word and does not recognize it only reads it with his eyes and intellect …. i.e. he does not first put himself into the state of union with Me, and thus I cannot be present to him either, and My word is only a letter without life. The intimate dialogue with Me must have preceded it, the desire to hear Me Myself must fill him, otherwise the heart cannot hear Me and then even the word, which is brought to the human being as My word, will remain without effect on him. Yet if it speaks to him alive, the kindness and wisdom of what reaches his ear will only be a revelation of My being to him, and not the slightest doubt will afflict him that he has been addressed by Me Myself. However, I do not communicate Myself to all people in the form of profound knowledge, not all people are able to receive wise instructions, yet they are always loving words which reach the ear of the one who wants to hear Me. I always help and advise and, through the manifestation of My will, indicate the path which leads to the kingdom of heaven. And since only I Myself know this path and can truly give you humans the right information, My word, even if it does not contain profound instructions, can always be recognized as wise and well-founded, for even the simplest instructions must be meaningful and purposeful, otherwise they would not have Me Myself as their starting point, otherwise they would not prove Me, Who am present in the word Myself. You will feel it and can trust this feeling with certainty, for what I give to you shall also be recognized by you as My gift. And you can be assured that My word, which is conveyed to you from above, contains the strength to give the human heart the feeling of My closeness as divine emanation, if only the human being accepts My word in heartfelt unity with Me. If you want Me to speak to you, then you will also hear My word and know that it is My word …. But whatever does not come from Me will not seem satisfactory to you, you will miss kindness and wisdom and the will of rejection will be stirred up in you as soon as you are devoted to Me ….

Amen

Working of love …. using of God's gift of power …. "He who abides in love …."

B.D. 4629 from May 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Again and again love must be preached to you without which you are and remain powerless. Loving activity puts you in possession of strength, but this does not mean the vitality which every person possesses even if he does not observe the commandment of love. But this vitality enables him to work with love, so that he can therefore also easily gain possession of spiritual strength with which he then succeeds in the soul’s ascent development. For this reason love should also be preached to people, because everyone is capable of performing works of neighbourly love if only he wants to. And he should use this in order to secure something for himself for the time after his death, when his vitality is withdrawn, whereas the spiritual strength, which he has thus acquired through loving activity, remains with him and he can use it to work in the spiritual kingdom on his own perfection and on the souls which are still under him in their development. Fulfil the commandment of love …. This admonition cannot sound urgently enough to you, for you are lukewarm and indifferent and don’t attach much importance to My commandments. But you don’t realize that every act of neighbourly love results in an approach to Me, that this is, as it were, inherent in a work of love, that if you love you draw Me to yourselves, otherwise you would consciously strive for an approach to Me and gain an unspeakable amount for your soul, for eternity. To work with love is already to make use of My gift of strength which is granted to you if the will awakens in you to carry out a work of neighbourly love …. Therefore, working with love is already a joint activity with Me, and if you imagine that I am always present to you when you are lovingly active then the desire for Me and the awareness of My nearness must already impel you to constantly work together with Me …. You can achieve nothing without love, nothing is of value before My eyes without love, and if you achieve everything on earth and are without love in your heart you need not take pleasure in it, for it is worthless for eternity, it is of no use for the development of your soul, and poor and empty you will enter the spiritual kingdom …. No works of love will follow you, and one day you will bitterly regret this …. The loving human being, however, can be poor on earth, earthly goods and earthly happiness can remain denied to him, yet his soul can rejoice and exult because it has found union with Me, because I am constantly close to it and every work of love proves My presence: “He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ….” Without love there is no union with Me, only love unites. The loving human being aligns his nature with My fundamental nature, which is love in itself; he will be able to work with greater strength on earth and in the beyond because love is strength which emanates from Me and enables ever new deeds of love. Use the strength of life and be active in love …. Again and again I call this admonition to you, for only love redeems you, it sets you free from the adversary’s shackles and earns you unity with Me, Who is eternal love Myself ….

Amen

The dying Saviour's last Words on the cross …. Audible Word …. Appearance ….

B.D. 4630 from May 5th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

It requires a particularly high degree of maturity in order to be able to audibly hear My Word, therefore I can only impart a limited amount of knowledge to you at first, albeit to an extent which certainly enables you to work for Me and to proclaim the Gospel to other people. Even so, the end is approaching and humanity is facing the last events on this earth. People are completely ignorant and neither able to accept My Word nor to recognise it when it is offered to them. In their spiritual blindness they no longer know about the blessing of Christ’s act of Salvation, they don’t believe in Him and will therefore be hopelessly exposed to My adversary’s control if they don’t change their thoughts and actions before the end. And in order to revive their faith again, where this is still possible, something extraordinary will present itself to people which was mentioned by Jesus on earth …. signs and miracles will take place …. The cross of Christ will visibly and so clearly appear in the sky that it will startle people who don’t believe in Him, whereas My Own will cheer and rejoice and their faith will become greatly strengthened. This will give rise to an unusual desire for clarification, so that right and wrong assumptions will prompt My servants to intervene and instruct people of the truth. And for this you will require special knowledge which I would certainly like to pass on to you but which you can only receive in the above mentioned state of maturity that the audible Word demands. This knowledge cannot be conveyed mentally, the spiritual ear and eye have to be open so as to be able to assimilate the impressions experienced by the dying Saviour on the cross and expressed with Words which no human ear heard and which consequently remained completely unknown to the human race.

The reason why this knowledge was withheld from you is based on the fact that only few people would have been able to grasp the profundity of these Words and that it requires an extremely strong faith to have come alive through love in order to understand them. But shortly before the end there will be people who will have gained this living faith through love and to whom the meaning of Jesus’ divine Words will be comprehensible. It is My will to offer them a precious gift by transmitting these very Words, and therefore I require a suitable vessel into which I can pour out My spirit …. a servant on earth who is devoted to Me, to whom I can reveal Myself, to whom I can clearly and understandably pass on Jesus’ Words on the cross through the inner voice, so that he will convey them to his fellow human beings and thus make them accessible to humanity. As soon as the appearance is visible in the sky My Own will step forward and speak on My behalf, they will cheer the cross of Christ and perceive His Words like a gentle chord within their heart …. but by this time these Words must already have been conveyed to earth, they must have been received by the audible Word and be comprehensible to My servant and find their confirmation through those believers who likewise heard it in their heart but consider it as spoken from above. But I will inform people in advance so that they become aware of the great miracle. And anyone being spiritually enlightened will feel uplifted in his soul and experience a tremendous flow of strength, and I want to give this strength to all those who demonstrate their loyalty to Me in the last days, and I want to give them a means which will so increase their strength that they will endure the most difficult battle and persevere until the end …. until I Myself arrive and fetch them home into My kingdom, until they enter the realm of peace, the paradise on the new earth ….

Agonies of a renewed banishment in solid matter ….

B.D. 4631 from May 8th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

No words can describe to you the agonies which a renewed banishment in solid matter entails for the spirits, because this state is inconceivable for the human mind. The spiritual substance perceives itself as a being and yet is unable to use its will although it is aware of it as evidence of its existence as a being. The spiritual substance is held captive and was originally created as something that was able to be freely active, hence its helplessness and weakness and constrained state result in inexpressible agonies which usually make it revolt even more instead of becoming submissive to God’s will. Humanity is in possession of free will and is approaching this very painful state …. It would still have enough time to avert this destiny from itself yet it is not open to any presentation by knowing people, and it is completely lacking faith in retribution, in the soul’s continuation of life on account of which instructions will not be able to achieve anything and thus the adversity of most people’s souls is extremely severe.

As yet the human being is still lord of creation, he is effectively in charge of it and able to avail himself of the creations according to his will …. but one day he himself will be a work of creation again, at first a lifeless, immovable object which can be used but also remain unused throughout an inconceivably long time …. one day he will be very far behind that which he is at the present time and an infinite length of time will pass by until he has evolved into a human being again, into the being which is endowed with free will and the strength to use this will. However, the many stages it will have to pass through, the countless torments it will have to endure in a bound will and the activities it will have to accomplish are not comprehensible to a person and therefore hard to believe for him. And yet he himself is responsible for the fate of his soul after his body dies. As yet he still has the strength to carry out deeds of love which will avert this bitter fate from him, he still has the opportunity to take notice of God’s will by listening to the divine Word, and if he complies with this will his nature will change and gain the right to a state of light and freedom after his physical death. As yet he is still able to use his intellect, he can think about himself, his Creator and his purpose of life and, if it is his will, he will also be able to believe …. God approaches every person with His grace and gives them a small incentive to move in the right direction, to choose the right path.

If the person is not opposed to it then he will let himself be pushed onto the right path and the true goal will be assured to him. Yet God also pays attention to opposition, that is, He does not force a person against his will …. but the person also bears the responsibility for his soul, he himself prepares its fate which will be extremely painful, and to its inexpressible regret it will have to take the path of a renewed banishment, for God’s grace may not be rejected given that this also means a rejection of His love and thus a distancing of the soul instead of coming closer to Him, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life. Only a few people will take the right path during the last days, and thus the adversity is gigantic and urgently requires corrective action. This is why God’s servants on earth should mention the dreadful fate which will await the human soul if it does not change during the last days before the end. Time and again the end shall be described to them as approaching imminently, for time flies and demands utmost activity in order to still save those souls from the downfall which accept the admonitions and warnings and are willing to do what is good. For the day will come unexpectedly and will throw countless people into ruin, into death, i.e., into the constrained state within matter from which they will only be able to release themselves after an infinitely long time. Be warned, you humans, for it concerns eternity, it concerns you yourselves, your souls, which are in acute danger and yet can still be saved if you are of good will ….

Amen

Trust in God's help …. love and protect for His servants ….

B.D. 4632 from May 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Oh all of you who are so of little faith and despondent, throw yourselves upon the heart of the divine saviour and redeemer so that He will lift you up and give you comfort and strength, and you will receive in abundance what you ask for. Let yourselves be considered by His love, see in Him your father from eternity and approach Him as His children, leave behind everything that belongs to the world when you go to Him and ask Him to take up residence in your heart, to fill it and remove everything that hinders His stay with you. And He will hear your supplication, He will make you happy with His presence, He will draw you to His heart and protect you from falling, He will stand by you in all temptations of body and soul, He will never let you be oppressed again if you commend yourselves to Him and His grace. Don’t worry about earthly things but only worry about your spiritual well-being, only consider your spiritual development important, and if God needs you for the work in His kingdom then don’t let yourselves be held back and follow His call, for then you will come ever closer to Him and your life will be secured spiritually and earthly. You should banish all worry from your heart, for it is only a lack of trust in the one Who loves you from eternity and truly will not let you perish. What seems to be a worry to you is only a test of your faith, and if you pass it all earthly worries will fall away and you will realize how thoughtful your father in heaven is of His children and how He respects all needs and provides for them when necessary. For His love belongs to you who want to serve Him according to His will. He will not abandon you but constantly be around you, He will help you in every adversity so that you will remain faithful to Him until the end, which will come as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ….

Amen

People's fear …. Natural disaster and its consequences ….

B.D. 4633 from May 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

All disbelievers will suffer inconceivable tribulation when I manifest Myself through the forces of nature, for they will experience a spectacle of development by tremendous forces against which the human being himself will be completely powerless. People will be seized by mortal fear, and even My Own will be affected yet be miraculously strengthened by My help as soon as they lift their thoughts up to Me. The disbelievers, however, will have no support to hold on to and will be hopelessly exposed to the elements of nature. In view of death a few will call to Me in heartfelt need, and their call will reach My ear and denote earthly or just spiritual rescue, if their hour has come. Yet then they will still have gained their eternal life.

But in the main, people will be senselessly scared, that is, they will be incapable of thinking of God, they will try to save themselves and face the same difficulties everywhere, for the whole of nature will conspire against them, all elements will be in tremendous uproar, water, fire, storm and light will leave their natural order and cause an unimaginable amount of devastation which will cost countless human lives. It will just be a short action but have extremely far-reaching consequences for all survivors, for only now will there start an earthly time of hardship which surpasses all previous experiences. People will have to change their way of life completely, they will have to make use of everything left to them, they will have to rely on themselves and cannot expect any earthly help for a long time, since they will be completely cut off from the world and contact will not be able to be established again in a hurry.

The magnitude of the disaster will be incomprehensible, yet I constantly draw your attention to the fact that you should not abandon yourselves to earthly possessions, that you should not consider them important and forget about your soul, as it entirely depends on its maturity how you will bear up to the aftermath.

Proclamations of this nature meet with little belief and yet should be taken extremely seriously, for they will fulfil themselves literally. And every day is still a gift of grace which you should utilize, not in an earthly sense but spiritually, for only your spiritual possessions are of lasting value. Nevertheless, I promise My protection and My help to all of you who believe and want to be of service to Me. Don’t let My Words depress you but know that everything, even the most difficult, can be endured if you hand it over to Me, if you ask Me to help you carry your burden …. I will not leave you and will help you persevere until the end ….

Amen

Power of faith …. obvious help …. last means of grace ….

B.D. 4634 from May 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The might and power of God will visibly manifest itself in those who are strong in faith and pray to God for help in great need. What seems impossible will become possible; what is humanly impossible will be accomplished by people through the power of faith in an almighty God and creator of heaven and earth. And no prayer will be in vain if it is sent up to Him in spirit and in truth and in firm, unshakeable faith; and where this faith can be found every adversity will also be bearable because it will be averted through precisely this faith. Every person who feels like a child of God and trustingly raises his hands to Him will feel the father’s love. Now that God’s activity, His love and His omnipotence are so clearly recognizable, the weak believers will be strengthened and the unbelievers will become suspicious, and this is a last means of grace for those who do not want to believe. A serious admonition approaches them once more, proof that a God lives to Whom they can also commend themselves and Who will draw close to them with equal love if they acknowledge Him as father and humbly bow before Him. The strength of faith can give everyone food for thought, for God’s help is too obvious to be denied because things happen which go beyond the scope of the natural …. God will help all who sincerely appeal to Him for such faith, who do not slacken in their struggle for it and who are of good will. For these are His own who long for Him and whose striving only applies to unification with God, which will lead to the aim. The miracles will also take place in them which are based on the strength of faith, which testify to God’s overwhelming love for His own and also revive the faith in His coming in the clouds, from which they now draw the strength again for the last battle on this earth. Their profound faith will endure everything because they are fully convinced that God will come and fetch His own into His kingdom when the adversity becomes unbearable. And God will not let such faith be put to shame ….

Amen

Battle of faith …. Publicly professing Christ …. 'I will shorten the days ….'

B.D. 4635 from May 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You will still have to endure a harsh battle when you have to confess Me before the world. You will be expected to renounce all earthly possessions completely, you will be dispossessed and have to do the kind of work that seems to go beyond your strength, you will be prevented from doing what is important to you, you will be pursued and pressured without reason and will find no peace from the pursuits of your enemies who are likewise My enemies and thus fear no avenging hand above themselves. And you will wonder why I allow all this to happen without calling them to account, but you will also be surprised that you are not as deeply affected as it seems to the world, so that you will nevertheless remain cheerful and bright and full of confidence and hope that the hour of retribution will come for you as well, and that even these pursuits will come to an end one day. And thus you will speak out ever more convinced on behalf of My name and confess Me before the world. And I will shorten the days so that you will become blessed …. Always remember My promise that it will only last a short time before you will be delivered from the hands of your tormentors, remember that you belong to My chosen ones after all, whose every suffering will be rewarded for their loyalty’s sake; and remember that through your confession lost souls shall still be won and saved for Me and My kingdom just before the destruction of earth. And for the sake of these souls take the cross upon yourselves which, admittedly, will weigh you down but it will nevertheless be bearable since I will also provide you with exceptional strength. The battle of faith will be difficult and therefore you already have to prepare yourselves in advance by strengthening your souls with the right nourishment, by accepting My Word and with it the strength with which I have blessed My Word. For when you accept My Word you unite with Me and therefore have to be permeated by strength and thus will be and remain resistant against your enemies until the end …. until I will come and deliver you from all adversity ….

Amen

Promise of most faithful fatherly care …. visible appearance ….

B.D. 4636 from May 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

I will continue to work in you, I will give you signs and perform miracles on you which you will recognize as miracles yourselves, although this will remain hidden from your fellow human beings. I will draw you to Me because you will no longer resist Me, even though you are too weak to ascend to Me by yourselves. I want you to feel that I am a loving father Who does not leave His children alone in adversity. And you shall have faith in Me and gain a firm belief, and then you will be true pillars for Me on earth, you will stand up for Me and My kingdom and confess Me before the world. I will not detach Myself from you even if you loosen the firm bond, if you believe that you have to pay tribute to the world and therefore sacrifice more time and vitality to the world. Again and again I come before you and cause you to tighten the bond, for I no longer leave you because I know that your will is meant for Me, even if the world wants to take you over. I keep you and no longer leave you in the hands of the lord of the world, for you have become Mine of your own free will and you will remain Mine because I want it that way. And with this assurance you can always be happy, you need not worry and fear for the future, you need no longer fear for your souls, you need only commend yourselves to Me, raise your thoughts to Me and give Me your love, thus long for Me and My presence, then you will also be inseparably united with Me. Yet this bond, which you have established of your own free will, cannot be severed by Me, and so that you will not sever it yourselves I will always make Myself known to you …. I will manifest Myself, I will be with you in spirit but also visibly approach those who love Me especially. For I want to win all your love in order to make you eternally blessed ….

Amen

Blessed activity for the kingdom of God …. exhortation to busy activity ….

B.D. 4637 from May 13th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Promote Me and My kingdom incessantly and don’t let your failures discourage you. You yourselves must feel permeated by My strength and therefore always and constantly receive My word, and the strength flowing towards you will impel you into activity, you will have to speak wherever the opportunity presents itself to you, out of the fullness of your heart. Then you will also be suitable labourers for My vineyard, you will be active for Me and My kingdom, you will speak to your fellow human beings in My name and also direct their eyes into that kingdom from where richest blessings for their souls come. No earthly activity equals that activity, no earthly success can outweigh spiritual success, and no earthly work will be as blessed and meet My approval as the work for My kingdom. And thus you also know that you are not walking uselessly on earth if you apply yourselves to this activity, you also know that the most beautiful task has been assigned to you and that you only have to be diligently active if you want to gain My love and satisfaction. But it is by no means a condition for you, you will not be forced into this activity, otherwise it would lose its value and could not earn you a blessing for your soul. Inner joy and the desire to serve Me and your fellow human beings should drive you, and then the spiritual work will also make you happy and give you inner peace, even though, earthly speaking, it will bring you little advantage. But My kingdom is not of this world …. Always keep these words of Mine in mind and you will understand that spiritual work will never exist or be recognized before the world, that it has nothing in common with the world and its activity, that it has to be carried out quietly and diligently and yet will result in far greater success than any earthly activity. And therefore don’t tire, don’t become lukewarm and indifferent, consider the hardship which spiritual work requires and remain sprightly servants to Me who always fulfil My will and serve Me in diligent activity and whom I will therefore bless now and in eternity ….

Amen

Prayer bridge to God …. thoughts bridge to the spiritual realm ….

B.D. 4638 from May 13th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The bridge to Me is prayer, the bridge to the spiritual kingdom is the thoughts which grant the beings of light the right to connect with you. Enter this bridge often, come to Me and hold intimate dialogue with Me, entrust all your needs and worries to Me, and thus make Me your confidant, your friend and brother Who wants to share everything, joy and sorrow, with you, and you will soon reduce the gulf between yourselves and Me because you always know a path which leads to Me, because you have found the bridge which removes every separation between Me and you. And likewise seek to reach the spiritual kingdom by letting your thoughts wander to where your true home is, where your soul shall once dwell when it relinquishes its earthly shell and no longer lives on earth. Try to find a connection in the spiritual kingdom while you are still on earth, so that the entrance is not blocked for you, for the inhabitants of the spiritual kingdom clear the way for you, they help you to find it, so that you don’t go astray or lose your way in the darkness …. The inhabitants of the spiritual kingdom constantly surround you but they can only make themselves known to you if you call them in thought or give them the permission to take care of you through your will. Every spiritual thought is a call for them, an authorization to transfer their power to you and thus to help you on the way up. You now establish the connection with the kingdom, which is a completely different sphere and which you cannot reach otherwise. Thus there is a bridge from you to that kingdom which cannot be seen and reached on earth but which nevertheless exists and wants to exert its influence on you. Pray to Me and send your thoughts upwards, and your soul will leave earth and approach its home, it will strive to return to its origin, it will certainly still leave the earthly cover on earth, it will leave matter behind and rise into spiritual spheres from which it will never return empty, for it will always be considered by beings of light, it will always receive grace and strength from Me Who will meet everyone who enters the bridge to Me. I truly have no greater joy than the return of My children who were once lost to Me and who now come to Me voluntarily in order to be and remain Mine for all eternity ….

Amen

'There shall not be left one stone upon another …. ' Great adversity ….

B.D. 4639 from May 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

A time will come when everything that was laboriously acquired and built up shall be lost; a time will come when people will realise that everything which was intended to provide them with physical prosperity is worthless and they will be completely destitute, because they lack spiritual wealth whose possession lets people get over the loss of earthly goods. I constantly draw your attention to this time for it will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture …. not one stone will be left upon another …. The fact that such a dreadful work of destruction shall take place as an act of God might sound incomprehensible to worldly-minded people, nevertheless it is inevitable, firstly, because it is intended to have an educational purpose and then it is also designated in the eternal plan of Salvation to enable the spiritual substances at a lower stage of development to attain other forms. It is necessary for people to be extraordinarily severely affected for they pay almost no attention to their spiritual development anymore and shall be given final encouragements, although they can also ignore them if they are unwilling to change and to ascend. They can only be treated even more harshly for they are no longer open to gentle admonitions and everything which hitherto was inflicted upon humanity for this purpose remains unsuccessful. However, the forthcoming time will involve a drastic change, so that people’s thoughts will automatically turn to the meaning and purpose of earthly life and nevertheless cause a change in a few people, which will be truly beneficial for them.

The adversity will be so severe that it will awaken the willingness to help in those who still have a spark of love in their heart, and this spark will find nourishment and grow into a flame, for anyone who only wants to help will also actively help and ease his neighbour’s difficult fate, because he knows himself how much distress every individual person’s fate is causing. And those who are willing to help will also be helped by Me, they will receive help as a sign of a higher Power where no way out can be found anymore, Which lovingly draws up close to people to reveal Itself to them. For earthly help often seems impossible but that which is impossible for people can still be accomplished by Me, and thus even the greatest adversity is not hopeless because nothing is impossible for Me. And thus the love which is given to one’s neighbour will bring forth good fruit, it will gain My love, and this signifies help and grace and an exceptional flow of strength, on account of which My Own need not lose heart, for they will not feel the adversity so much because they will be full of strength and always have Me by their side as a Helper Who, for the sake of their faith, will work evidently in order to still gain the few before the end who are weak in faith but nevertheless of good will …. They will receive strength and survive that time of need without damage to their soul. My Own, however, will be protected by Me and can anticipate this time without worry, for it will not last long ….

Amen

God’s word most effective means for the healing of the soul ….

B.D. 4640 from May 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Whatever you receive from Me cannot but be good and must result in spiritual progress for you if only you make yourselves worthy of what you receive through your will. The will alone without the deed is admittedly of little significance if it is possible for the human being to act according to his will, yet even a serious will is considered where the possibility of implementation is limited or the strength to do so is lacking. But then strength will be supplied to the human being for the sake of his will, and this supply of strength is effected by the word which is conveyed to you by Me Myself. My word is a gift of love and mercy …. I see your struggle, you who are willing, and I see your lack of strength, you who only have a weak will, and I want to come to your aid and consider you on the path of My eternal order, which is why I do not arbitrarily supply you with strength but make it dependent on you again, on your will, which has to be turned towards Me, but then My love and mercy is always concerned about your salvation and gives you what you need. Thus, if My gift is good, you must now also fully rely on the means I give you …. You must believe that it is the right, only effective remedy for you, through which you, who are ill in your soul, will recover. If you are sick and turn to the first saviour of the world, you must also have the rock-solid faith that He can and will make you well. Everything I offer you is medicine for the soul …. always regard everything, your earthly life, suffering and affliction, your whole fate and also the evidence of My love, as remedies whose certain effect you must not doubt …. and you will recover and be released from every affliction, for My word also has its healing power earthly, so that everyone who receives and accepts it as My gift of love will also be physically strengthened by it according to the strength of his faith. How easy it would be for you to shape your earthly path of life, how easy it would be for you to develop spiritually if you accepted My word as what it is …. which contains the greatest blessing, the miraculous power, if you know how to use it. Anyone who has My word should not fear or doubt, every fear and worry should be alien to him, for through the receipt of My word he has certain proof of My presence and thus also the best means of protection against every difficulty in life …. he should only believe and trust, he should always know that he is cared for by My love and only remain at My will …. be active for Me and My kingdom and repay My loving care with eager work. He could calmly and equanimously cover his earthly path of life, which he never travels alone but in constant company of Me, because I want to speak to him and he should work with My words again, because he serves as a mediator between Me and people who are still distant from Me and whom I want to win. Therefore, anyone who has My word need only comply with this task of administering the mediator’s office and he will always be able to be certain of My blessing, My love and grace, he will not need to starve spiritually and physically and will always be lovingly cared for by Me ….

Amen

Spiritual rebirth ….

B.D. 4641 from May 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The decisive moment in earthly life is the will’s inclination towards God, for from this moment onwards the soul begins to change, it is effectively the turning point, the start of return for the once-fallen spirit to God. The sooner this conscious direction of will happens in the human being’s life, the greater the perfection he can attain before passing away; however, it is also possible to achieve a high degree of maturity within a short period of time if the human being realises at a much later time that he, as God’s living creation, ought to strive towards unification with Him. In that case he can pursue changing his soul with an intensified will and equally still mature fully. And so every occurrence in human life will only ever be the cause for a change of will, but once the latter takes the right direction the soul is no longer at risk of slipping into darkness again, for God will draw it to Himself as soon as it has made its decision known to reach Him. This decision of will, the deliberate turning of thoughts to God, is effectively the human being’s spiritual rebirth, for the soul enters a new life, it no longer lives in the purely earthly-material world but penetrates deeper, it searches for truth and finds it, because God Himself manifests Himself as the eternal Truth by mentally influencing the soul which longs for Him …. Such a born-again soul must be nurtured and cultivated like a tender seedling, it must be kept alive with the lightest of nourishments and slowly invigorated and strengthened until it finds its own way in life and can effortlessly travel the path of higher development. The change of will is the act of rebirth, it has thereby started on the path which leads to eternal life, even though it still can present many dangers and obstacles …. worldly temptation and difficulties …. which will nevertheless be overcome by a strong soul. It is merely a question of whether the soul will receive this necessary strength or whether it must starve and will thus find the path of ascent difficult. This, again, is solely a matter of will, but once a will strives upwards towards God it will also be seized by God and constantly positively influenced, yet without being coerced. The most effective influence is the Word of God, which includes strength and life and nourishes the reborn soul and helps it to mature. A person whose soul is born-again will also always be receptive for receiving the divine Word, be it directly through listening to it or through reading divine revelations, or through mental connection with the Primary Source of wisdom, through conscious connection with the One Who is the eternal Truth Itself. He will quite frequently withdraw into solitude, that is, he will look within himself and his thoughts will be influenced from above in the right direction …. his soul will receive nourishment and increase in light and strength. But a person whose soul is born-again will also live in love, for this is the consequence of a correctly inclined will. And thus he will mature and approach perfection, which is the reason and purpose for his life on earth, as soon as he has voluntarily detached himself from the power which held him captive and from which a person must release himself. However, in order to do so he will always have grace and strength from above at his disposal which he will use for his spiritual rebirth ….

Amen

Lord's supper …. guests of the lord ….

B.D. 4642 from May 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

My guests are those who listen to Me, who desire My word and receive it into their hearts. These are the ones I feed with nourishment for their souls, and these are the ones who take supper with Me as I have promised; they are My guests who are invited to My table and who are now provided with everything that is refreshing for the soul, to whom I give food and drink according to their hunger and thirst. And My guests will never be disagreeable to Me, I will never withhold from them what they need, My will will never diminish, and therefore I constantly send My messengers to invite the guests to My table …. I Myself go and knock at the doors and hold supper everywhere, for I Myself prepare food and drink and can therefore administer the soul’s nourishment everywhere, yet one thing I require is that My invitation is gladly and gratefully accepted, otherwise I pay no attention to the guests because they do not do their host the honour which He well has to claim ….

(18.5.1949) My table of gifts is always laid and I distribute without limitation, and I will never turn away anyone who wants to come and be My guest, yet I never give where there is no desire, even if people lie starving on the ground. I certainly let them come into contact with My messengers, I let them request to come to Me in order to receive strength and refreshment, yet their will itself must decide whether they want to accept My invitation or do without. But blessed are those who follow the call of My servants, who let themselves be entertained by Me and provided with food which is exceedingly beneficial to them. They can receive food and drink from Me, delicious nourishment for their souls, true bread from heaven and delicious wine, prepared by My love, as it is agreeable to the soul. And therefore no soul will need to hunger and starve if it is only willing to be My guest and therefore comes to Me of its own free will …. Then it will receive the bread of heaven, which is My word, from which it shall draw the strength …. the wine of life, in order to be able to cover the earthly path and reach the aim, eternal beatitude. My word is food and drink for the soul, My word is the right wine of life, it is My flesh and My blood, it is the most delicious thing I can offer you humans as long as you stay on earth. If you now want to take supper with Me, you must let yourselves be taught by Me, you must listen to what My love presents to you, you must receive the eternal truth from My hand with a hungry heart, listen, what the voice of the spirit in you proclaims, which is My voice that resounds in you if you want to hear Me, for I truly give you the best for your souls because I want to draw them to Me and therefore shape you such that you endure My nearness. I will come to you Myself and feed you, for My word is the right food and the right drink, and anyone who hears My word and lives accordingly will become blessed ….

Battle of faith …. The strength of Jesus' name …. The coming of the Lord ….

B.D. 4643 from May 18th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

For the sake of My name you will have to suffer. All those who profess Me before the world will be subjected to awful threats and tribulations, for it will be people’s aim to eradicate My name, to suppress the knowledge about My life on Earth and the act of Salvation, in order to make people lose faith in it. However, they will be met with unyielding resistance by people who stand up for Me and My name and profess Me aloud before the world. Then a sharp divide will be formed between all those who still believe and those who deny Me, and My small flock will have to come forward if it wants to stand up for Me, and this will be the start of suffering for those who will remain faithful to Me until the end. For whatever wickedness can be done to My Own will be done, and My Own would never bear up against this were they not strengthened by Me as a reward for their good will. You will have to prove yourselves, for a hard battle will be waged on account of faith. But as soon as this battle starts you will know that it is the last occurrence before the end, that you must therefore persevere if you want to become blissfully happy. Furthermore, you know that I will always be close to you during this time and provide you with extraordinary strength until I finally come Myself in order to rescue you from utmost adversity. Hence you know that it will only last for a short time, as I have promised you that I will shorten the days so that you will become blessed. And this knowledge, the firm and unwavering faith in it, will make you strong and immune, and you will endure all difficulties with such indifference and courage that I will reward the fact that you must suffer for the sake of My name and yet remain faithful to Me. And if you then devoutly pronounce My name it will have an incredibly invigorating effect. This will make you realise that you truly know the truth and, with utter conviction, profess Me before the world even more and humbly accept everything people do to you, who are of service to the one who, as My adversary, wants to push you away from Me. Indeed, you will suffer but nevertheless be victorious, and your reward will not fail to materialise ….

Amen

Experiencing the downfall as if in a dream state …. memory, new earth ….

B.D. 4644 from May 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

As in a dream state you will experience the downfall of the old earth after your rapture, thus you will see the work of destruction and also be able to comprehend its extent, yet you will remain unburdened by it yourselves so that you no longer take anything heavy from the old earth into the kingdom of peace, which is now your abode until you are transferred back again to the newly formed earth where a new life begins for you in constant contact with Me. Nevertheless, you had to witness the downfall of the old earth, because the knowledge of it shall remain with you for the instruction of your children and your children’s children. You should keep the memory of the old earth with its creations, with its spiritual state amongst people, with the sinfulness, the battle of faith and the end, so that the new generation will also take note of it and the knowledge of it will influence their attitude towards Me, as it shall also serve in later times to warn and admonish people of a spiritual decline which would inevitably result in this effect again. On the new earth nothing will remind people of the old creations anymore, and it will mean miracle upon miracle for the inhabitants of the new earth to compare the new creations with the old ones, and there will be no end to bliss. And in a dreamlike way the old earth with all its experiences will appear before their eyes at the end and yet will not leave their memory because it is good for people to remain in this memory. What still seems completely impossible to people today will have to be experienced by those who are faithfully devoted to Me, and the fact that they withstand this last great adversity will earn them a state of bliss in the paradise of the new earth, which is why they will only live through the last horrors as if in a dream, because otherwise it would not be bearable for them after the time of suffering which the battle of faith means for them in the end. But those whose faith is strong are kept upright by the hope of My coming, of the rapture and the paradise of the new earth, and I will not let this faith be destroyed …. I truly prepare a fate for them which fully compensates them for all suffering, for I Myself am among them with My love and grace ….

Amen

Think not earthly …. admonition of God to take up His word more often ….

B.D. 4645 from May 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Move all My words in your heart, think about them and pay attention to the feeling they give you, and then want to do the right thing and live to please Me, and you will derive the right benefit from My word, you will have spiritual and earthly blessings and progress in your development. I cannot give you any better advice than to accept My word as often as it is possible for you. Then earthly life will no longer cause you any difficulties, for as soon as you occupy yourselves more with the spiritual, as soon as you live more with Me, earthly life will go by your side, hardly burdening you and mastered by an invisible hand; you certainly live on earth but are not unusually burdened. Try it, use every opportunity to hear or read My word, and then consider what you have heard, let Me speak to you lovingly by giving Me an ear when I want to speak to you. Every thought of accepting spiritual knowledge offered by Me is a hint from My love which I give to you in order to promote your development. And you must pay attention to this, even if you lack time, for I can very well also extend the time if it is necessary, and the short span of time you sacrifice to Me will never be lost, but far more likely a great spiritual gain for you. Again and again I say to you, don’t think earthly …. For the advantage you gain from it is again only earthly and therefore not lasting. But what you create and acquire spiritually is extremely valuable for eternity. But one day your earthly life will be over, one day the way you have used your earthly life will have an effect, the work you have done when your vitality was at your disposal. And then you will be blessed to possess a supply of spiritual possessions, and so that you will constantly increase them I admonish you again and again and call upon you to take My admonitions seriously and to receive My word from above more often, because it is the most precious gift I can bestow upon you and because it has an extremely beneficial influence on you. Let Me speak to you and ponder My words in your heart, and your earthly life will be a peaceful one, richly blessed by Me ….

Amen

God's will – guideline of life ….

B.D. 4646 from May 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Anyone who does not take My word as a guideline for his life will not take the right path, for then he will go against My will and not observe My commandments which My word informs them of. If you want to follow My will I have to inform you of it in a certain way, and I will also make sure that the knowledge of it is made accessible to you, yet it depends on your will whether you accept or reject it. Every word of Mine shall serve you as a guideline, and it is truly not difficult to live in accordance with My will, for My yoke is gentle and My burden is light …. I do not ask you to do anything that is unworkable, yet there is an obstacle which makes even the easy to do seem difficult …. your will, which must completely submit to Mine. And if your will has not yet entered Mine you will have to use force …. then you will seize the kingdom of heaven. Then you will have to wage an inner battle in order to change your will, which is still turned away from Me, into one which is completely subordinate to Me, and then it will be easy for you to do everything I tell you to do through My word. I cannot deviate from My conditions for attaining maturity of soul, yet I make them easy for you and give you strength to fulfil them. Yet you must take notice of them and not inwardly resist My requirements, you must make My commandments your own intention, of your own free will you must make an effort to live in love, and thus all commandments I give you for the time of your earthly life are also fulfilled. Your way of life must be based on My word; that is all I require of you, but it requires knowledge of My word, it requires an inner life in which you deal with spiritual questions, where you have to take a stand with what I require. Therefore, if you want to reach the aim you cannot live thoughtlessly into the day, you have to think about your purpose of earthly life and your task and criticize yourselves as to how far you fulfil the task of life set for you. And then you will always have to keep My word before your eyes for comparison, for My word gives you all guidelines and will always show you the right path …. the path which leads to the aim, to unification with Me, your God and father of eternity ….

Amen

"You will be able to accomplish even greater things …." promise ….

B.D. 4647 from May 21st 1949, taken from Book No. 53

The master’s works shall always serve as an example to his disciples, and a striving disciple will also reach the aim of equalling his master in his achievement. And so also I have said to you: “You will accomplish even greater things”. So there is the possibility of the disciple surpassing his master …. You will certainly doubt this statement but I repeat it and add that nothing would be impossible for you if only you muster the will to work with Me and My strength. A person can rarely muster the faith for this, but he will be able to achieve supernatural things, but only because he believes. Once you attain this profound faith, which can move mountains, you would never again lack strength, you would never again be afflicted by doubts and you would truly be even greater than the man Jesus, for He has told you this and His word is truth. But as long as the human being does not muster this strong faith which is able to do everything, no human being will surpass the God-man Jesus, to Whom the elements obeyed through His faith and His love and Who subjugated everything to Himself because He worked with Me and knew no limitation of His strength from Me. I Myself was active in Him, but I was also the strength which is without beginning and without end and which therefore can also express itself without limitation without diminishing. But now you, My disciples of the last days, shall provide the evidence for Jesus’ words, you shall subdue all powers through an exceedingly strong faith and likewise work without limitation for My honour and My glorification and thus practice works which bring honour to the master’s school …. you shall work miracles by virtue of your faith, constantly using the strength from Me. Only a strong faith is able to do this, and therefore I try to help you achieve this strong faith. I let you get into trouble from which I often miraculously deliver you after heartfelt prayer to Me. You shall recognize your master in it and now willingly do the work He instructs you to do, and if you now strive for highest perfection your works will also become ever more perfect until they resemble those of the master. Jesus Christ was your master, Who instructed you and admonished you to follow Him, and Who gave you the promise which shall spur you on to strive …. that you may accomplish greater things …. But who makes the test? Who seeks to reach that degree of love which means complete union with Me and thus also unlimited emanation and reception of strength? Where the strength from Me is active every success is assured, and in this confidence the faith will also be firm and unshakeable, the human being will know and feel that he will be helped whatever he undertakes, and this confidence will enable him to achieve great deeds …. He will be able to accomplish supernatural things and thus be a true disciple, as I need him in the last days before the end ….

Amen

Thirst for knowledge …. perk of asking questions ….

B.D. 4648 from May 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 53

If you let yourselves be instructed by My spirit there is no limit to your knowledge, nevertheless, your will remains decisive as to how far you want to accept the knowledge. As soon as you ask, you will receive an answer, yet even questions which occupy you unconsciously will be answered by My spirit, albeit not always at the time when you are moved by questioning thoughts. Yet I know what is useful for you to know, I know your receptivity and also how you utilize the knowledge you receive. And this is of great importance because nothing happens according to My eternal order without meaning and purpose and thus wisdom is also guided to where it finds the right use, where work is done with the knowledge of pure truth. As soon as you want to be active as teachers, the knowledge imparted to you will encompass all areas, to the extent that you need it in order to be a wise teacher to your fellow human beings. Nevertheless, you can greatly increase your own level of knowledge if you express the desire to receive deep knowledge. I leave no questions unanswered and also invite you to ask questions …. And therefore every spiritual debate is of value where unresolved issues are touched upon so that I can now provide clarification through the spirit. A person with a thirst for knowledge would still be able to draw from the source of wisdom, thus there would be no limits to his knowledge if he allows himself to be instructed through the spirit, whereas it is not possible for the intellectual person to transcend these limits. Make use of this advantage and increase your knowledge and you will be able to receive and pass on great blessings, for knowledge is light and light makes the person happy who does not want to walk in darkness. People who are still children of the world have little desire for light and therefore have no interest in answering spiritual questions. But anyone who already directs his gaze into the spiritual kingdom will be happy to receive enlightenment from there, and his thirst for knowledge will increase the more it is quenched. For this is the characteristic of spiritual activity, that the human being is not satiated but feels a constant desire to expand his knowledge. And I gladly comply with this desire, for it is the evidence that the human being’s soul strives towards Me, that it pushes towards Me, that it is hungry for light, thus it wants to make contact with the eternal light, even if the human being is not aware of it. And therefore I will take every striving for truthful knowledge into account, I will hand out where it is desired, I will give spiritual wealth and train whoever entrusts himself to Me as a pupil according to the will of utilization for teaching activity …. For where My spirit can become effective the human being can penetrate the deepest depths of wisdom …. where My spirit is active I Myself am at work and truly instruct the human being in the right way, so that he can radiate his knowledge again if he teaches in My name ….

Amen

"I will not leave you orphans …." (John 14)

B.D. 4649 from May 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

“I will not leave you orphans ….” I will be your father, to whom you may come in every need of body and soul …. I will stand by you with advice and help …. I will take over all your worries, for your body and your soul; I will guide all your steps …. I will always be with you so that you will never be alone and feel abandoned …. I will not leave you orphaned …. Consider this word of Mine. Can you have a more comforting assurance for your life’s journey? Must not all worries and cares fall away from you if you remember these words, that you are constantly certain of My protection and My love? Whatever may come your way, you need not fear anything in the certainty that no burden lies on you alone but that I will help you carry it or even take it off you completely if it is good for you. My word has to be enough for you, and if you show Me all your childlike love you will also be filled with rock-solid faith, and then you will no longer feel orphaned and abandoned, then you will be aware of My presence and you will be completely without worry. And then you will also be able to hear Me through the voice of the spirit, for once I am present to you and you are aware of it, I will also express Myself and the ear of love will hear Me …. Be blessed if you receive My word, then feel like My children to whom the father lovingly speaks, and know that you will then be free from all worries, for where I am and take care of you as father you can completely leave yourselves to Me and only occupy yourselves with yourselves, i.e. do the work on your soul …. You can use all your strength for active neighbourly love, for spiritual work and be active for Me and My kingdom in My name, then everything earthly will take care of itself for you, because I am the one Who walks invisibly beside you and does for you what is incumbent upon you. Just believe it, don’t doubt it and know that every promise by Me will come true if you have first fulfilled the conditions I attach to it. And thus I only require your true childlike love in order to take you into My special care as a father, in order to consider you as My true children in such a way that you can travel your earthly path free from all worries. I demand faith in Me and love for Me, and you will truly feel My fatherly care and constantly be aware of My presence, for I don’t want to leave you orphaned, I want to come to you and take abode with you so that you will hear My voice and constantly remain united with Me ….

Amen

God's overflowing love …. How should love for God be like? ….

B.D. 4650 from May 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You cannot measure My love which I have for My creatures and which determines Me for everything that happens and what I allow. It is like a mighty hearth of fire, it is like an enormous flame, it is like an ember which consumes everything that comes within its range. And again, My love is gentle and mild, which solicits reciprocal love with all tenderness, which never decreases, which never fails itself, which always and constantly wants to please and gives up nothing that belongs to Me. My love is of such strength that it also achieves everything it wants and is so certain of its success that it does not force anything but waits for the counter-love which is voluntarily given to Me. I want to possess your love, your complete devotion to Me, I want your will which shall turn to Me of its own free will, for then you will also love Me, then I will have won you for eternity. But what should your love for Me be like? How can you recognize that you love Me? If you have a high, holy feeling in your heart towards Him, Whom you do not see and Whom you do not know and yet believe in Him, that He is and you are His creatures. This holy feeling, however, must not only consist of mental excitement, but it must be a silent vow to belong to Him and to be at His will …. it must be a silent vow to work with Me using all strength. Therefore, anyone who makes this vow to Me will also feel drawn to everything that has emerged from My hand from that moment on, for he now has love within himself because he attracts Me Myself through his love, and thus he is also devoted to his fellow human beings …. he feels love for his neighbour which is expressed in unselfish activity for him. And thus he demonstrates love for Me through active neighbourly love, because one emerges from the other. Then My love can also shine upon him, yet only to an extent he can bear, but it will increase immeasurably, for My love knows no limits, just as My living creations’ love can and will increase once they have been permeated by My strength of love and have found unity with Me, once they have become My own for eternity ….

Destruction of the earth act of mercy by God …. seers and prophets ….

B.D. 4651 from May 26th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

My love, grace and mercy will certainly still apply to the individual human being but no longer to the whole of humanity if this is understood to mean the continued existence of the old earth, which you humans want to accept as an act of mercy. It is much more an act of mercy that the destruction of the old earth takes place, because thereby new possibilities are created again for the maturing of the still imperfect spiritual as well as of the souls of people who have already fallen into darkness and yet shall find their way back to Me, to the light. My principle is the redemption of the spiritual from darkness to light. But if the earth is completely darkened then it is no longer suitable for the purpose it is meant to serve, and then new means have to be created which My wisdom alone can judge for their expediency, and human intellect is not sufficient to weigh the pros and cons. Yet My love and mercy still wants to give the souls the opportunity to complete their course of development on earth before the destruction of the old earth, because this is of utmost importance. And therefore I inform you of what is about to happen in an extraordinary way by initiating you through revelations into My plan of salvation from eternity …. And this is a significant act of My love, grace and mercy for which you should be grateful and make use of every opportunity to bring your souls to maturity before the end is here. I inform you of this, however, you have to find the belief in it yourselves, otherwise you would forcibly change, which could not be called an upward development. But pay attention to the signs which I have constantly pointed out to you through seers and prophets …. heed them, and you can recognize for yourselves that the time has come when My announcements will be fulfilled …. that the time of the end has come which shall determine you to utmost work on your soul.

(27.5.1949) I have not announced the end through seers and prophets without purpose, and the sole purpose is that the human being should always bear the end in mind as being imminent and adjust his way of life accordingly so as not to get lost on the day of judgment. The fact that a long time has passed so far without bringing the end does not justify the assumption that people of the present time will not experience the end either, on the contrary, it is ever more probable that one day My prediction will come true, because My word is truth and remains …. that the time will therefore draw ever closer. However, you can be completely certain that you people of the present time are the ones in whom My word will come true, that the present time will therefore bring about the event which is written …. You can expect the last days with certainty, and you need no longer imagine a long earthly life, even though the world does not want to know about an end, that is, those people who are worldly-minded and only turn their thoughts towards material gain. The end will also come for them but they will not prepare themselves for it and will therefore be surprised and despair when it becomes obvious to them that they can no longer expect anything from the earthly world. And therefore it shall be spoken wherever the opportunity presents itself, even if the announcements are not believed. Yet when the hour has come for My word to come true, a few people will still turn their thoughts to Me and also be able to be certain of My help in spiritual adversity. And this is the purpose of My predictions, and therefore they should not be rejected, for soon you humans will recognize the truth of them ….

Amen

Receiving the announcements in an alert state …. light forces ….

B.D. 4652 from May 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You should accept the announcements from the spiritual kingdom with an alert mind, you should unite with Me in thought and consciously expect My answer to every question you want answered, thus let yourselves be instructed in full awareness through dialogue with Me. For then My spirit will take effect in you …. whereas such proclamations have to be received with all caution which a person unconsciously accepts, thus where the will is eliminated or is forced under its influence by a stronger will, by a spiritual power, because it does not defend itself, which it can very well do in a conscious state. People who are not introduced to spiritual knowledge are unable to judge whether the will is used by a good or bad force, and therefore they often accept error as truth, whereas they do not recognize pure truth as such …. (28.5.1949) Then they also portray proclamations as being given from above, because they certainly want to be in contact with forces of light but by not complying with My requirements they deny these forces of light the influence themselves. But My requirement is to consciously enter into contact with Me; furthermore, My requirement is to also fulfil the conditions which result in a direct approach on My part, such as: a way of life according to My will …. a life of love …. Desire for truth and now an inward listening in order to hear Me. From this it follows that not everyone can hear My word, that therefore also receptions from the spiritual kingdom in an unconscious state require the fulfilment of these conditions if they want to lay claim to truth.

(29.5.1949) But usually people who abide by My conditions are strong-willed and therefore do not surrender their own will, so that spiritual forces cannot make use of it, thus an unconscious state switches off. And the listeners have to distinguish whether the way of speaking of those who want to receive announcements from above is, so to speak, automatic, thus an external will obviously comes to light, or whether the person speaks naturally as if it were his own spiritual product. For I certainly express Myself through the mouth of a human being, I certainly choose the form for My working but never in a conspicuous way that the human being’s nature appears completely changed. For the human being should be able to believe freely, and therefore I also let My form speak freely from itself, except that I put the words into its mouth …. that I therefore speak through it Myself after all. Why should I, if I want to speak through a form, turn this form into an automaton? You humans love extraordinary appearances and only then believe, even though the same is naturally offered to you. But you do not consider that I do not take from My works what characterizes them as My work, free will and the awareness of themselves. But if a spiritual being makes use of the human being’s will then it eliminates free will and the human being loses his self-awareness. This can never be regarded as My working, which is why I seriously warn against accepting explanations and teachings of this kind as truth. Although not everything needs to be wrong if the human being’s will is seriously turned towards good. Yet caution is always advised, for My adversary will always fight the truth, for which no means is too bad for him and he will also try to assert himself disguised as an angel of light ….

Suitability for spiritual work – dedication of the world ….

B.D. 4653 from May 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Those who feel called to work for Me by hearing My spirit’s utterance as a spoken or mentally conveyed word must continue to be eagerly active and not lose themselves to the world. Nevertheless, the world is still their environment, i.e., as long as they stay on earth the world also approaches them with its demands. But it can be overcome if the heart frees itself from desires and wishes of any kind. The love that develops in every human being can be directed rightly or wrongly. If it belongs to the world then it is a wrong love which has to be fought against if the human being wants to be in contact with Me and thus active for Me. Thus the love directed towards Me is the right one, and this love must fill a person who wants to work as My servant for Me and My kingdom. There must only be room for Me in his heart, thus no concession can be made to the world, and that is what is difficult for the human being and why only rarely is someone suitable for spiritual work, for a service which requires unconditional devotion from the world. Therefore I have to choose My workers for Myself, I have to train their ability to tear the love for the world out of their heart, however, not compulsorily, but I have to try to change his will so that he surrenders to Me and is no longer turned towards the world. And thus the world’s goods must be presented to him as worthless and impermanent, which is only possible if they leave him unsatisfied so that he no longer desires them. If a person has a very worldly attitude he lacks spiritual contact with Me, and then he will also never be able to accomplish spiritual work. But it often takes a long time before a person has recognized the worthlessness of the world, and therefore workers will rarely be found who offer their services to Me of their own free will. For the world approaches people again and again and seeks to capture their thoughts. And it will always mean a battle which, however, has to be carried out for the sake of the soul’s salvation, and this battle always has to end with the defeat of My adversary who is the prince of this world and against whom this battle is therefore waged. No matter in which form this battle takes place, the success will always be a spiritual maturing, but the cause is worldly desires and their fulfilment. Therefore, consider every disappointment, every failure, every suffering through material losses as a means to overcome desires and cravings, and surrender to it without complaint, for it helps you to overcome everything that hinders you from being a good and eager servant in My vineyard …. it helps you to free your heart and prepare it to receive Me, Who truly offers you something that surpasses worldly pleasures. Give up the world and exchange Me for it, and you will gain the most delicious if I Myself am within you and bestow spiritual wealth upon you, which is truly refreshment for your soul and cannot be compared to what the world offers you. Serve Me diligently and make yourselves worthy of the privilege of having been accepted as labourers for My kingdom …. Use your service diligently, so that one day you will be rewarded as faithful servants and be blessed ….

Amen

"Become like the children …."

B.D. 4654 from May 31th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

“Become like children ….” I am pleased with the quiet, humble love of children who trustingly approach Me, who press towards the father’s love and seek a response from Him. Become like children …. If you truly feel like children and direct your steps towards the father, if you seek refuge with Him, you will enter into the right relationship in which you stood in the beginning and which you resolved yourselves of your own free will. If you now return to the father the spell is broken, you become free children of God again, you have found your way back to Me and can now be blissfully happy in My presence. You must feel it alive within you that I am your father, that you are My children who emerged from My love, who eternally possess My fatherly love …. you must be happy and calm in your thoughts of Me, remain untouched by all adversity and affliction, firmly trusting that the father will protect you from every danger of body and soul. Only the right trust characterizes a child’s relationship with its father, and until you place this trust in Me you are not yet in a child’s relationship with Me, then you are still far away from Me and I am a stranger to you and not constantly present. Where a heart opens itself to Me, where it communes with Me in the desire to receive Me, to hear Me and to feel Me, there is no longer a gulf between the child and the father, it is with Him and the father is constantly with His child, the father hears every request, every question, and He considers the child as it is helpful to Him. Therefore, first of all strive for the right of childship which arises from the right relationship with Me. For if you are My true children you are also entitled to many rights …. that the father will continue to care for His child, that He will help it spiritually and earthly towards perfection, that He will instruct it and feed it with nourishment for body and soul. As My true children you can demand everything from Me, I will deny you nothing and constantly make you happy with gifts of love which I always have in store for My children. Become like the children! …. Leave all self-conceit aside and humbly come to Me with a loving heart and accept the abundance of My love which I want to bestow upon all My living creations. This relationship between children must still be established on earth if you want to become true children of God with all rights in eternity. And once you have handed yourselves over to Me as weak-willed little children I will never let you leave Me again, I will watch over you and prevent all evil from gaining access to you so that you can no longer get lost to Me or hand yourselves over to My adversary. I am your father from eternity and only wait for the moment when you lift your hearts to Me full of childlike love. Then I will have won you back eternally and you will be free. For the father does not keep His children under compulsion as soon as they are subject to Him in love, since their will is now the same, and they will only want what is My will and can never ever lack My will ….

Amen
