"What God has joined together …." Connections blessed by God ….
B.D. 4655 from June 1st 1949, taken from Book No. 53
What God has joined together, man shall not separate. What I have blessed must therefore remain indissolubly united for all eternity. But how can My blessing be recognized? Not an earthly bond guarantees My fullest approval, a spiritual agreement of both parts must obviously be recognizable if people want to claim My blessing and believe themselves to be in possession of it. People who are spiritually of different kinds, who do not find themselves in the same spiritual striving, can indeed likewise enter into a union which also has its earthly justification, but they are by no means to be regarded as united by Me, even though they believe to fulfil all conditions through ceremonies and religious actions which are intended to secure My blessing for them. I certainly consider the union to be closed and never approve of a separation, yet I reserve the divine blessing for Myself and distribute it to those who approach Me together in prayer, who want to travel their path of life together with the same striving for perfection, for maturity of soul and with the same love for Me, Whose commandments they want to fulfil and Who is their aim on this earth. Consequently, many marriages can be considered concluded, but only a few are blessed by Me. In order to be united forever before Me I make demands on the will of both partners that they want to belong to each other for time and eternity, that one wants to be the support and staff of the other, that they therefore love each other without self-interest and are driven by the desire for union to enter into a bond which does not consist of external formalities but of intimate communion physically and spiritually. The desire for union will be all the greater the deeper the spiritual harmony of the souls is, which is therefore expressed in the same thinking, the same acting and the agreement of words and speeches which have Me as their content, thus testify to spiritual communion. These are therefore also destined for spiritual cooperation by Me and will consequently be able to be completely certain of My blessing if they offer themselves to Me for spiritual cooperation. And the blessing will be easily recognizable which rests on those people who work together for Me and My kingdom, for they will not suffer any hardship, they will be fully satisfied spiritually and earthly, and I will obviously be with them in every adversity and danger. But such a bond must not be severed, even if it is not earthly sanctioned, thus earthly it would be very easy to dissolve …. For what I join together man shall not separate …. Do you know why I brought you together, why I allowed your paths to cross when I made it possible for you to come together and yet spiritual agreement was recognizable? Thus you may not separate again on your own authority or carry out a separation which could withdraw My blessing from you if I did not prevent you from carrying out your plan. A separation may only take place if I Myself separate you for the sake of your soul’s salvation, if I, in order not to endanger your salvation, take each one of you into My care as long as spiritual differences arise, thus an agreement no longer exists that it no longer allows for spiritual cooperation. But then this union will nevertheless not be dissolved, because what I unite can never be dissolved by people and because My blessing will rest on every union which was concluded in spiritual striving and found My approval ….
Amen

Instrument of God …. holding up the errors right of the disciples ….
B.D. 4656 from June 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Where My grace flows to you in such abundance that you are taught by My spirit, there is also a certain justification to draw your fellow human being’s attention to his faults without being accused of self-conceit. This is, so to speak, the office of the one who receives the pure gospel, that he carries it out into the world, that he thus opposes the right to the wrong, that he passes on My word in the same sense as he receives it. Anyone who is enlightened by My spirit also has the gift of righteous judgement as soon as he is active as My disciple, thus working for Me and My kingdom amongst his fellow human beings. He will recognize people’s faults and weaknesses and also know their cause and effect, he will also recognize the truth of My word by the latter, for through My word I initiate the spiritually enlightened person into knowledge which explains everything that is and happens around him. And thus it will not remain hidden to him why My word is not fully accepted, for he knows that the cause of this is the human being’s way of life himself, his will and his wrong attitude towards what I demand of people through My word. And therefore he is also entitled to reproach his fellow human being for his faults and shortcomings so that he will change. He even has the duty to draw people’s attention to them, even though he is rarely listened to with pleasure and a change in this respect is also rarely striven for. Nevertheless, My disciple is in the right, for I make use of him in order to speak through his mouth to those who are unable to hear Me Myself. And again and again you should be told that your ways are entirely subject to My guidance, that you are only the tools for the work I Myself want to do for My living creations, but that I cannot approach them directly and therefore need you as mediators. What you notice in your neighbour, what you recognize as being contrary to My will, what appears to you as error and vice, you should also reprimand or kindly and patiently draw the fellow human being’s attention to it, so that he will now work on his soul himself and try to adapt himself to My will. For I train you as teachers …. therefore instruct your neighbour, enlighten him where he errs …. be it in wrong knowledge or also in wrong assessment of himself; make him aware, but in love, not in anger. And you will only administer your office correctly into which I Myself have appointed you, for it merely concerns the recovery of the souls which are ill, and anyone of good will will listen to you and not become angry with you, he will recognize that he has to keep your office and your own nature apart, that you only do to him what you have to do in order to be obedient to Me. For your office obliges you to be at My will ….
Amen

Realization of the eternal Godhead ….
B.D. 4657 from June 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 53
The clear realization of the eternal deity, the awareness of Its existence and Its supremely perfect being, can only be gained by people who live in love. It is only given to them to form a true picture which they cannot express in words because it is merely a matter of feeling. Yet their feelings will correspond to the truth, because love cannot produce anything other than truth, because a person who lives in love cannot think and feel anything other than true and thus the concept of God is also comprehensible to him …. However, the intellect is not particularly challenged in this process, instead the heart becomes more active insofar as it is the seat of sensations which are then certainly conveyed to the intellect and received by it and, since they were not produced by the intellect, become conscious to the human being as sensations. But such mediations from the spiritual kingdom can only touch a heart which is formed for love, for this is receptive and willing for spiritual currents. A heart devoid of love will not open itself and will therefore remain insensitive and therefore also without knowledge. For the knowledge of God is spiritual wealth which originates from God, Who is love Himself, and is only given to the one who seeks to assimilate himself to His fundamental nature. For this awakens the spirit in him to life, which is a spark of the eternal spirit of God. The eternal deity can therefore certainly be fathomed, even if not in its full depth, as long as the human being still dwells on earth. It can be fathomed to such an extent that the human being becomes aware
(3.6.1949) that a supremely perfect being created him and that this perfect being is connected with himself, thus with imperfect creatures which, however, have only become imperfect through their own fault. Thus the human being recognizes a creative power for the first time which demonstrates all the characteristics of an entity …. Furthermore, he recognizes in the countless creations a supernatural working of this strength and thus the will and wisdom of the being, as well as the original cause of creative activity, love ….. He can therefore now believe in this being out of inner conviction, because he has gained the knowledge from within as a result of a life in love. And then he will be introduced to deeper knowledge by this very being, which will make the eternal deity ever more understandable to him, because the meaning and purpose of everything that happens will be explained to him and he will thus be initiated into God’s eternal plan of salvation and thus penetrate the secrets of divine activity ever more deeply with God’s approval, because God Himself wants to guide people into truth and gives fullest enlightenment if they make themselves worthy of it by fulfilling the divine commandments, by living a life of unselfish neighbourly love. Then it will become easy for people to recognize the eternal deity …. Problems which are unsolvable for those who approach them intellectually will be easily solved by all those who dare to solve them with a loving heart, for God reveals Himself to them and also makes Himself known ….
Amen

Outpouring of the spirit …. task spreading of the teaching of love ….
B.D. 4658 from June 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
It is given to you to speak in My name, that is, to proclaim My kingdom, to spread My teaching of love throughout the world and thus to be spiritually active. And thus you must first be convinced of the truth of what you should pass on to your fellow human beings, you must have received the spiritual knowledge you receive from Me with heart and mind, thus you must be able to affirm it emotionally and intellectually. This is what I want to achieve with you, that no doubt will move your heart anymore, that you will be able to believe and become knowledgeable in order to be a suitable and wise teacher for your fellow human beings who is beneficially active in My vineyard. Your mission is not bound to time and place, you will constantly and everywhere have the opportunity to stand up for Me and My name, and you should make use of these opportunities and utilize everything you receive in spiritual wealth. I constantly distribute My gifts to you, so you should also constantly give what you acquire, what you possess, what makes you happy. Then you will be able to determine the gift of speech in yourselves, yet only as long as you speak for Me and pass on My word. And you will recognize My spirit by the fact that your intellect does not whisper the words to you but that you speak from within, that you speak with full conviction about things which are completely foreign to your knowledge. And it will appear plausible to all those who again have the serious will to stand in truth. I pour out My spirit upon you as soon as you want to serve Me and work for Me and My kingdom …. And what he now imparts to you is purest truth and well worthy of also being presented to fellow human beings, because the spirit from Me will give you nothing but purest truth, for it is a part of Me to which nothing is alien and which also wants to make knowledge accessible to you to the greatest extent. Heart and intellect shall be active in receiving the knowledge imparted to you by the spirit, and heart and intellect shall pass it on, i.e., it shall be offered with love in such a form that it also appears to be intellectually acceptable to the human being and he likewise attunes himself to it affirmatively. You will often have the opportunity, for I will supply you with souls which are willing and able to receive and utilize spiritual knowledge from above. As soon as you are convinced yourselves you will also be able to speak with conviction and then more easily win fellow human beings for My kingdom. And yet you also have to request My grace in particular so that I Myself will work through you if you are active for Me. And I comply with every request for spiritual progress, for enlightenment and strength to reproduce My word, for anyone who works for Me truly does not ask in vain …. he will be allowed to utilize a measure of grace which is unlimited, and it is only up to him how far he uses it for the spreading of truth and in My will. And he can always be certain of My blessing ….
Amen

Radiance of God …. instruction from within …. gift of speech ….
B.D. 4659 from June 5th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
You need constant instruction in order to change the state of ignorance, in which you start earthly life as a human being, into the state of knowledge. You need to be constantly instructed because you are not receptive to the extent that you could immediately tolerate brightest light; you need to be slowly introduced to the right knowledge so that your heart and intellect will grasp it and your soul will derive the right benefit from it. Therefore teachers must be given to you who are qualified to guide you into truth. These teachers can be trained by Me Myself, but they can also indirectly receive everything they need to know if it is their firm will to enter My service and be active for Me and My kingdom, for this will guarantees that they will be taught correctly and thus also be able to carry out their teaching activity in accordance with My will. For I want the truth to be spread, I want people to step out of the darkness of spirit into the bright light; I want them to learn to recognize who and what I am and what task they have to fulfil as My living creations on earth. Thus I am the right teacher who imparts the right knowledge to those who want to be active as teachers again …. But you cannot hear Me in any other way than through the spirit …. I certainly speak to you, yet My word does not sound to your ears from outside but you have to hear it inwardly. And thus I am also at work where the instruction happens indirectly, thus through intermediaries. It is always My spirit which first has to work in you in order to make what has been imparted to you effective, in order to make your intellect receptive and to awaken the feeling in your heart for the depth of truth. Where My spirit is not at work, the deepest wisdom can be offered to you, it would leave you completely untouched and fall on your ears like empty words. My spirit first enlivens the dead word, My spirit is the strength which flows through every word so that it can have an effect on the human being and thus is also perceived as divine. My working of the spirit is the sign of sympathy for you, for only when you open yourselves to Me do I take a share in you by helping you to perfection through the working of My spirit. Then you will be able to understand everything you receive directly or through intermediaries, you will be able to leave the state of ignorance into the most enlightened state, for then you will be in direct contact with Me if I work in you through My spirit. My spirit is simply the emanation of Myself, the gift which is not material, which cannot be seen or grasped but only felt, which is therefore something effective but not visible, and which nevertheless proves Me, thus it is a living testimony of Myself. My spirit is the emanation of My love …. My love expresses itself in the form that it radiates a tiny spark of what it is itself into the human being’s heart, who thereby can develop into a divine being and always progresses more and more towards perfection. But to be perfected means to be in the brightest knowledge in the spiritual realm, to have overcome the state of lightlessness and to have become a being of light with My help, which can now dwell in My vicinity and, constantly permeated by My spirit and My love, is exceedingly blissful for all eternity ….
Amen

Working of the spirit (pentecost) mediator …. truth – error …. mission ….
B.D. 4660 from June 6th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Whatever is given to you at this time speak, for you will not speak from yourselves but it is I Who speaks through you …. And by this you can always recognize the working of My spirit, that the disciples called by Me Myself, if they offer My word to people, cannot be defeated by counter-speeches, that they are able to refute every objection without first preparing themselves for spiritual debates. Anyone who has My word and wants to spread it is active in My name, he speaks for Me, on My behalf and only passes on what he has received from Me. Thus he is only the mediator between Me and people to whom I want to speak and cannot do so directly because they do not allow it due to their wrong direction of will or their souls’ inability to hear My voice within themselves. But I want to approach them, I want to set their soul into vibration, I want them to reflect on their earthly task, I want to gently and softly persuade the soul to turn to Me in order to become blissfully happy. And therefore I need you to speak to them through you, and therefore it is not you who speak, and this is also recognizable to every person that you are inspired by a strength which is unusual and touches the listener beneficially as soon as he is not already completely captured by My adversary. Then people will rebel against you and everything you speak, they will hostile you, and then it is more advisable to shake the dust off your feet and turn your back on them. But anyone who is searching or still undecided listens to you and noticeably feels the strength of My word ….
Thus My spirit impels you to speak and thus you will never say anything wrong, but neither will you fail, for My spirit enlightens your thinking and thus it certainly appears as if your intellect is very active, whereas you are merely an instrument which cannot speak otherwise because I Myself am active in you. Thus you have the evidence of My working in the gift of speech of a person who otherwise does not know how to speak like that, and also in the lightning-quick refutation of all objections which are opposed to My word. For mostly people are trained as teachers who have little spiritual knowledge because their hearts are more receptive for truths which do not agree with the spiritual knowledge which is offered to people and represented as truth. But the pure truth, as it is offered to people by Me, sometimes deviates greatly from it and is therefore little received; people tenaciously hold on to misguided teachings and are therefore understandably little suited to accept corrections, thus to question the spirit from Me within themselves and let it take effect. But where He is active error is denounced, and therefore zealous representatives of truth must be sent to people …. those who are still completely uninfluenced if they are instructed by the spirit within themselves. They must give in to the feeling of the heart and accept everything as purest truth what the spirit proclaims to them from Me,
(7.6.1949) but which they can easily grasp if they are without spiritual knowledge, i.e. if they were not previously impressed by erroneous teachings, which they then must surrender if they are offered otherwise. The strong will for truth will indeed accomplish this, for the sincerely desiring person easily recognizes error and frees himself from it. I do not demand thoughtless acceptance of spiritual knowledge, and therefore I give understanding reasons and explanations from which every examiner can gather that what he is offered is not human thought but spiritual working. And thus if I speak through a servant devoted to Me to people who listen to him they will not go away empty-handed but will be able to receive instructions which will provide them with clarity in many doubts and questions, providing they desire the truth, thus they want to be taught. And they will always be able to say that they have been taught by God, for it is I Myself Who speaks through those people whom I have called to be My disciples, who allow My spirit to take effect in them and to whom I can therefore convey the pure truth ….
Amen

Announcement of the Judgment …. Doubts …. The approach of a star ….
B.D. 4661 from June 7th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
You have been informed of an approaching Judgment but you doubt this and do not take My Words seriously enough, or you would not make further earthly arrangements and only prepare yourselves for the day when My proclamations will come true. Although you do not know the day, it should suffice you that I, as your Creator and Father of eternity, have revealed it as shortly forthcoming, that I thus have informed you that it is time for you to prepare yourselves or I would not constantly repeat the admonitions and warning, but leave you without notice. And therefore you should pay heed that the deadline grows ever shorter and is expiring very quickly everywhere. All earthly worries are in vain for I will take care of My Own so that they will have what they need. The others, however, will not be able to hold on to anything, even if they associate with My adversary, even if they, at present and with his help, are prosperous in a worldly sense and continue to increase their possessions, be they earthly goods or honours or worldly wisdom. My adversary will not be able to protect them on the day of terror, since I want to bring people to their senses through the forces of nature, so that they will think of their God and Creator and entrust themselves to Him in dire adversity.
Then everything will fall prey to the forces of nature, nothing will be left for people except what I want them to keep. And therefore they should endeavour to gain My grace, they should unite with Me through deeds of love and heartfelt thoughts, they should speak to Me and listen for My answer, and they will reap a far greater reward than if they worry about their body’s wellbeing, about earthly wealth and earthly progress. You should believe that soon will come to pass what I already predicted long ago; you should believe that there is not much time left and no longer worry how to gain earthly profits, for this worry is futile, as you will very soon realise.
I will give you, who spread My Word, a sign so that you will support it with full conviction. I want you to know that a star is approaching earth with great velocity, and that this appearance will happen shortly before I bring the constant proclamation to fruition. Then you, who are informed, will know that the hour is at hand. Then you should live only in accordance with My will, inform your fellow human beings of the forthcoming event, turn everyone’s attention to it and closely unite yourselves with Me so that I can give you the strength you need during these perilous hours. Do not fear but only believe that I will deliver you from all hardship, so that you will be able to fulfil your mission for which I have prepared you …. so that afterwards you will bring My Gospel to your fellow human beings, for many of those who emerged unscathed will accept My Word with a hungry heart. You should realise that you do not have much time left until the end …. And preceding this end everything I constantly proclaim will come to pass. Believe it and prepare yourselves, for time is running out and I will appear very soon ….
Amen

'Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation ….'
B.D. 4662 from June 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
You should be vigilant and pray, so that you will not fall when you are being tempted …. My adversary’s onslaught against those of you who want to remain faithful to Me will be relentless in order to estrange you from Me. He uses all means and not least of all those which intend to disable you from establishing contact with Me, so that he will have an easy game as soon as you are weak. He lies in wait for opportunities to cause your downfall and only someone with a strong will, someone who is able to send a thought up to Me for help will not succumb to him. Call upon Me in every adversity of body and soul …. this is what I call pray and watch …. direct your thoughts upwards where he cannot follow you and you will safely escape from him and place yourselves under My protection. He will try to shackle you to earth with all his might, to that which is his share and which belongs to his realm …. he will want you to abscond from Me, from spiritual striving, he will cause you to doubt and want to confuse your thoughts through adversities and dreads, so that you won’t find your way back to Me, so that you will engross yourselves in earthly things and forget about Me …. Watch and pray …. and detach yourselves from the one who is My adversary, and attach yourselves increasingly more to Me, Who is your eternal Father and Who can truly offer you more magnificent things than he can …. Watch and pray, for you are constantly surrounded by the tempter trying to catch you. A vigilant person will be able to recognise and escape from him …. And be joyful and happy in knowing that I Am your constant Protector Whom you can turn to when you are threatened by danger, for I hear the faintest call coming from your heart and will support you so that you will be victorious in your battle against him. But anyone who places too much trust in his own strength and believes that he can do without My help will succumb, for he is overestimating himself and failing to consider that the adversary’s strength is greater than his. You will win with Me but succumb without Me and fall prey to every temptation. But to walk with Me means to allow My presence through prayer and kind-hearted activity …. Then you are protected against all incursions by the enemy, then he will be powerless against you, for then he would have to fight against Me and I Am far more powerful than he is. Watch and pray, then he will have lost his target, he will avoid you, because then you will be surrounded by light which emanates My presence and that is intolerable to him …. Call upon Me in every temptation and I will always be with you ….
Amen

Task of those who became knowledgeable at the source of wisdom ….
B.D. 4663 from June 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
I have initiated you into My eternal plan of salvation, you have received profound knowledge, you have taken note of the purpose of all My works of creation and of the human being’s task during his earthly life, you have penetrated knowledge which you should pass on to your fellow human beings, thus you also recognize your own special task which, however, depends on your free will. Consequently, you are enlightened and of sound mind, which means that you can record progress in your spiritual development, which thus demonstrates a certain degree of maturity, and thus you no longer need to fear that you are on the wrong path, for the knowledge you possess proves to you that you have walked the right path, otherwise you could certainly also believe but would not find any coherence of spiritual knowledge and thus would never be able to instruct your fellow human beings. Right knowledge must also be able to be passed on, but the ignorant person cannot find his way around himself and thus would never be able to instruct his fellow human beings in an understandable way. If you now pass on My word, if you have the opportunity to speak to your fellow human beings about it, it will be recognizable where you have taken your wisdom from …. the water of life, which is My word, can only flow from the source which originates from Me as the eternal truth. This source contains all strength within itself, it is a spring which is never exhausted, from which all people can refresh themselves, and thus My word, which originates from Me, is also the true source of strength for all people, which enlightens the spirit and makes the human being knowledgeable. Knowledge is light …. You can now truly say that it has become full of light in you, that the connection of Me with everything created is explainable to you and that you have recognized My love and wisdom through the knowledge imparted to you, that you no longer stand empty and ignorant in life but the great mystery has been revealed before your eyes, that I am no longer the mysterious, unknown or alien God to you but the father Who is constantly concerned about you, Who guides you into all truth and wants to strengthen and refresh you for earthly life and Who therefore gives you His word, the source of wisdom and eternal fountain of love …. For it is not a piece of knowledge but comprehensive and clear and proving divine working, the most wise plan of salvation, of the spiritual substance which once fell away from Me, is revealed to people’s eyes …. Love and omnipotence are recognizable, and anyone who is thus instructed by Me will also be wise and able to instruct his fellow human beings, for he only imparts to them the pure truth from Me …. My living word ….
Amen

Demonstrating the love of God through labouring charity ….
B.D. 4664 from June 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Only that is valid before My eyes which has love as its principle. You will ask yourselves in what way I want love for Me to be expressed, and I can only ever give you the answer: through active neighbourly love …. You should never harm your neighbour, you should never cause him suffering, you should never let him ask in vain if he needs your help, and you should never let him live in want of his soul, for this is a special work of neighbourly love that you come to the aid of your neighbour’s soul while it is still languishing in darkness. What you do to your neighbour I regard as proven to Me and reward you accordingly …. I give you My love in return, and to be allowed to receive My love truly means everything as long as you live on earth. You will not always feel My love physically, it is something spiritual and can only be felt as blissful, you will only be aware of it at times, or else you will have constant evidence of My love and grace through the acceptance of My word, which I Myself dictate to you as a sign of My heartfelt fatherly love. Anyone who has this word of Mine can know himself loved by Me even if he does not know the feeling of bliss on earth …. Then I have My wise reason for this, for I truly know every person’s life of feeling, I know how easy it is to lose the bond with earth and only want to dwell in spiritual regions …. This is not beneficial for the soul, and therefore I still keep the hearts imprisoned, I burden them with earthly worries and thereby prevent them from sensations which would cloud the soul’s clear vision but which is absolutely necessary because I Myself want to take abode in the heart and be heard and this should happen in a state of sober thinking. I come to you Myself, I occupy the heart of the one who has prepared it for Me and now instruct him from within, without external influence and external teachers …. Thus I express My love through this …. What is more understandable than that I also demand love, which you should now demonstrate towards your neighbour? (11.6.1949) Therefore, what you should do in order to please Me, in order to also gain My love, can only be borne by love for your neighbour, for you can do nothing else for Me Myself but acknowledge what has emerged from My strength of love and thus, if you want to love and honour Me, also love what I have created. And since I created the human being in My image and therefore, even if he has become imperfect, he shall shape himself into My image again, he is also worthy of the love of his fellow human being. You are all My living creations and should love each other, then you will also give Me as the father the right pleasure, then I will also be able to embrace you all with My infinite love, for then you will already accept the being which can join Mine, which is pure love in itself. Understand that without love no-one can become blissfully happy, because love is divine and a God-like being belongs to beatitude. And therefore you should be good towards your neighbour, you should helpfully try to remedy every need, you should not offend him, not harm him but always consider him your dearest brother to whom the father’s love belongs again. Every thought, every action, every word should only ever radiate love, then you will gain My pleasure, then I will accept this love for your neighbour as love for Myself and return this love to you with all sincerity ….
Amen

The world wants to see miracles and does not see the greatest miracle of all ….
B.D. 4665 from June 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
It seems strange to you that I do not appear in great glory, that I do not make My presence known through eye-catching unusual appearances, but simply and without splendour merely express Myself through My Word where I Am able to be present. The world wants to see miracles but My Own see miracles everywhere and therefore will also recognise Me in plain clothing. They feel My spirit which gives evidence of itself that it is not a deceptive light, but it spreads a soft yet bright light that radiates from the heart, where I Myself can dwell. The world wants to see miracles and fails to see the greatest miracle of all ….
For is it not a miracle that you may hear the voice of God, that I Myself can speak to you like a Father speaks to his children? Is it not a miracle that I personally answer questions which arise in a thinking person and which he is nevertheless unable to answer himself? Is it not a miracle that you yourselves have the teacher within you Who educates you in purest truth and grants you wisdom? You, who look for God in the distance, will never be able to grasp this miracle and therefore you will be unable to believe, for you do not allow My working within yourselves and thus I cannot make Myself known to you either. Yet My Own, who have established a relationship with Me through their thoughts, who always feel Me close to them, are impressed by the miracle, even though the miracle keeps itself hidden from them, that is, they cannot comprehend the full extent of their experience. For they should remain open-minded in their relationship with Me, so that they speak and commend themselves to Me as a friend and brother without any sense of excessive awe. And therefore I Am closer to them than to those who want to behold Me intellectually and yet will never be able to find Me.
But I will also appear to some in an obvious manner, and they will then be able to bear witness of Me and portray Me as truly existing, and through their faith they will also help to strengthen the faith of those who are still weak but not without faith. My Word will speak for itself and give evidence of Me to the world. The substance of the Word conveyed from above to earth is a far more obvious miracle than any extraordinary process which people would like to experience as ‘proof of God’. My servants on earth who remain simple and receive My Word without trance, who equally simply pass it on again as they have received it from Me, are not affected by inner excitement, yet their souls experience the merciful, unusual event and will be enlightened, even if the human being as such is unaware of it. I know why My servants must have this apparent insensitivity and thus it is also My doing, not in order to disadvantage but to benefit the soul. And therefore do not allow such thoughts to reduce the value of the messages but know that I Am present with you Myself when you hear My voice, and that this presence of Mine is truly the greatest of miracles which, however, only few people believe or experience consciously. For the world wants to behold and be in awe but not quietly listen and be grateful for every genuine secret revelation which the conveyance of My Word from above signifies to people ….

God as teacher …. truth bearer ….
B.D. 4666 from June 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Anyone who undergoes My instruction will increase his knowledge and be a suitable labourer for Me in the last days before the end. For the knowledge he receives from Me will take root in him and never ever disappear from his memory. My way of teaching is adapted to his later activity, and the frequent repetitions are therefore necessary so that the knowledge becomes so firmly anchored in him that he can never lose it. And it will become apparent in debates of a spiritual nature that My disciples are fully instructed and can represent My teaching completely and convincingly. If I Myself am their teacher, knowledge and full realization are guaranteed. This is why you humans can adhere to what is offered to you by such a disciple without hesitation as long as you are of good will and believe that I reveal Myself to those who love Me and keep My commandments. Then it will also be easy for you to believe that I want to convey the gospel purely to humanity again and again and that I choose as mediators precisely those who are receptive and willing, who are able to hear Me Myself and to whom I can therefore convey the purest truth. But anyone who is taught by Me listens, and you hear My word in its purest form. Admittedly, I can only communicate Myself directly to a few, and only a few believe that I communicate Myself directly to a human being …. Yet it is the time of the end when true faith in Me is only rarely to be found. As soon as humanity is distant from Me due to a lack of love, it also does not believe in such an obvious working of My spirit and thus of Me Myself, and therefore it distances itself more and more from the pure truth and can no longer recognize it as such if it is offered to it. For this reason, however, I constantly advertise for servants on earth who are willing to accept My word and spread it, so that truth will take hold again amongst humanity, so that the darkness will be penetrated by light, for humanity languishes in the darkness of spirit and is heading towards ruin. I recruit servants on earth and bless everyone who allows himself to be taught by Me, whom I can train as bearers of truth and who is now eagerly active for Me and My kingdom, for there is not much time left and salvation shall still be brought to the few who are not against Me in spiritual adversity through the supply of pure truth, so that they will find the path to Me and enter it, so that they will still become Mine before the end ….
Amen

Value of spiritual thoughts ….
B.D. 4667 from June 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Every spiritual thought is beneficial for the soul, whereas earthly thoughts only benefit the body, but only if this is the intention, since earthly thoughts can also have a negative effect, that is, they are detrimental for body and soul. However, people are usually only concerned with earthly thoughts and completely exclude spiritual thoughts, then they can neither attain realization nor be guided into right thinking, and their earthly life is idle, for it does not fulfil the purpose …. it does not promote the soul’s ascent development. Anyone who reflects on the meaning and purpose of earthly life and then lives his life according to the knowledge he has gained about the soul’s continuation of life already mentally enters spiritual spheres and constantly draws from the gift of life for his soul. He will also certainly come to the right realization, he will have to stand in living faith and believe that he will not cease to be with his bodily death, for otherwise he will find no explanation for his life in the flesh, and he will seek the explanation in continued life, thus he will feel called to new activity in the spiritual kingdom and live accordingly. The belief in life after death can be gained by everyone through reflection and contemplation of the works of creation, which do not pass away but only change in order to continue in a new form. This belief cannot be proven, but the firm conviction can take root within oneself that the human being is only temporarily on this earth in order to then enter the spiritual kingdom to fulfil the duty towards God, which is a different destiny than on this earth, which only signifies a transitional station for the spiritual, which should now create and work in all freedom ….

Eternally cycle ….
B.D. 4668 from June 13th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
It remains an eternal cycle from the abyss to the ascent and vice versa as long as the spiritual being’s upward development continues, yet with the excretion of that which has completed its development on earth as a being of light, that is, which has reached the state of perfection again in which it was in the beginning. But as long as this development is not yet completed it can ascend as well as descend, yet always with the aim of becoming a being which has finished the cycle and now constantly dwells in the height. Then there is only an ascent, a constant approach to God, then a relapse to the abyss is excluded, however a voluntary descent is possible as a helper for the unredeemed spiritual, which is apparently also a decline but can never lead to the abyss, thus it can only be a work of redemption, which only a true child of God can achieve, thus it is no longer to be regarded as the course of development of an imperfect being but as the help of a being of light. Therefore, as long as earthly creations exist everything is in the cycle of becoming and passing away, of dissolving and re-emerging, and the still immature spiritual being step by step reaches the height …. to the stage as a human being, where it can thus rise to the final height or also fall abysmally in order to begin the cycle again. But by no means does the being have to sink as a human being …. just as it will not necessarily rise either. Therefore a stage of solidification can also occur, thus a persistence on always the same level of development, which, however, can only be in the beyond, thus outside of earthly creations, certainly beginning with the stage as a human being where it is granted freedom, since it is no longer in a state of compulsion, which always signifies an ascent development from God. The human being himself determines whether he continues the cycle, whether he steps out of it or remains on the same level for a long time, thus often delaying the final decision for eternities and then not interrupting the cycle but continuing it with all probability, because he is more likely to sink than to rise …. The short earthly life as a human being is sufficient to complete the upward development with a degree of light which only allows a constant ascent. But if it is not utilized properly, so that this degree of light is not reached, then the spiritual must continue to move in divine order in bound will, regardless of whether in earthly creations or in the kingdom of the beyond …. it is not free and thus continues the cycle until the aim is once reached …. The state of bound will always ensures an upward development, the state of free will, however, can endanger it and thus also result in a backward development, but the time always comes for the deeply fallen to move upwards again until it has once ended the eternal cycle ….
Amen

Spreading the pure truth …. God's love, omnipotence and wisdom ….
B.D. 4669 from June 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Unhesitatingly devote yourselves to the forces which impart announcements to you whose content corresponds to My commandments of love, and don’t doubt the truth of what is offered to you from above. For I Myself am behind this extraordinary work through which great knowledge is imparted to you. It is My will that the truth is offered to you because you desire it yourselves; furthermore, it is My will that you also pass it on to your fellow human beings, which is why I enable you to have a teaching effect. Yet know that again and again you will have to expect onslaughts regarding the authenticity of the proclamations as a divine mission and that you will be unable to provide any other evidence than that a God of love gives His spirit to those who ask Him for it. And believe firmly and unshakably that I am a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence and therefore will give everything to My living creations which I recognize as good for their souls because I love them and want to make them happy. But pure truth is always the most necessary for the soul, and since I alone can only distribute truth I will not withhold it from those who approach Me for it in childlike trust, thus never ever let children who trust Me fall prey to error without preventing it. Believe in My love which wants to give you everything that is good, and believe in My omnipotence which can give you everything I want, and believe in My wisdom which truly knows the right way and the right means to guide you, My living creations, into the right knowledge which shall help you to become perfect. But what I give to you will also make your fellow human beings happy who, like you, are unable to hear Me yourselves. Therefore share it with them, pass on the delicious knowledge you receive from Me and don’t let yourselves be disturbed by the objections of those who doubt or try to fight your spiritual knowledge, for you receive it directly from Me, whereas your opponents represent something which was conveyed to them from outside through teachings or thought products by people who did not let My spirit work in them, otherwise it would be the same mental knowledge you receive from Me. As soon as you believe in a God of love and omnipotence you can leave yourselves to Him without hesitation, He will guide you correctly, He will give you what you need for the salvation of your soul, and He, as the truth Himself, will only convey the pure truth to you and make sure that it is spread. Just always remember that I love you, My children on earth, and want to make you blissfully happy, and then you will never doubt that it is I Myself Who teaches you, and your faith will become stronger, just as you will also penetrate the truth ever deeper and thereby become able to work for Me and My kingdom by also conveying My word to your fellow human beings as purely as you receive it from Me …. you will be able to fulfil your mission for which I have called you ….
Amen

The reason for God’s remarkable action ….
B.D. 4670 from June 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
_(12th anniversary of receiving the Word) 15.06.1949 The spiritual poverty of the world is immense and has once again reached the same low level as it was at the time of Christ’s coming because people are no longer able to hear My voice. They can no longer hear Me nor do they want to hear Me and therefore live their earthly lives without purpose and aim, although they are pursuing earthly goals and are very busy indeed. Yet they cannot find contact with Me anymore and keep themselves apart from the One Who should be their only goal. They no longer acknowledge Me because they no longer know anything about Me, and thus feel no love for Me either which would otherwise elevate them from their low spiritual state. It is a desperate situation because their ignorance results in an agonising state in eternity, which they could escape if they would utilize their final earthly life appropriately. I know what dreadful fate awaits the souls, I see the people in their blindness head towards the abyss, I call to them with Words of caution and alarm, I send guides along their way to return them to the right path towards Me. Yet people’s will persistently aims towards the abyss, they do not accept advice, they resist and withdraw from My support …. they revolt against Me Whom they should love with all their heart, to Whom they should rush like children to their father.
They follow the attractions of the world, they purely live an earthly life, and thus I cannot come closer to them and they cannot hear My Word by which I want to win them for eternity …. And yet I will not let them fall, and if they do not want to hear Me Myself I will try to approach them in other ways …. I will send messengers to them whom they do not openly reject, and through these messengers I will speak to them Words of love and of concern for their souls. I would like to come to My children but they do not accept Me …. And thus I choose a cover, I hide behind those who support Me but who also associate with people who are still distant from Me. And thus I contact and reveal Myself to them as well, even though they do not recognise Me and only hear My messengers voice. Can you now understand why I appear in remarkable ways by transmitting My Word to earth, by speaking through My devoted servants? Can you now understand the extensive hardship which I would like to remedy and therefore use every means in order to establish contact with worldly people?
There is not much time left and urgent help is necessary if I don’t want My living creations to go astray, if I want to save them from repeating their path through the creations. You cannot imagine the implications of this harsh spiritual poverty but I take pity on people who could still have many opportunities to accomplish the purpose of their earthly life and who do not think of what will become of them after their death. I have compassion for them and yet I cannot help them in any other way but by means of My Word. I can only advise them and inform them of their deficiency but I cannot force them to live in accordance with My will. Nevertheless I can tell people that I will indeed use every means to help them and that I therefore will embody Myself within the spirit of those who want to help Me save the people. And thus you should believe those whom I send to you as My messengers, you should believe that the spiritual poverty is enormous, that I nevertheless take care of each one individually who will not resist Me …. that I Myself will approach him and that he can recognise Me, if only it is his will. Let Me help you and don’t reject Me, turn around, retreat from the abyss …. there is still time but I only give you a short time until the end …. Be warned and follow My servants sent by Me, and recognise in this your Father’s great love Who wants to encourage all of you to return to the Father’s house in order to become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Incomprehensible value of the word of God …. supply greatest gift of grace ….
B.D. 4671 from June 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Nothing can prove My love to you more vividly than My word, nothing can lead you more safely to the aim than My word, nothing gives you as much insight into My reign and activity as My word. And therefore My word should be desired with all senses, it should be requested as the most precious gift and accepted with heartfelt gratitude, for nothing else can replace it …. It is the emanation of Myself and consequently must also be of greatest effectiveness. And yet, it is not recognized and used according to its value, and the human being remains distant from the aim he should strive to achieve. For truly, I say to you that you must do the will of the one Who created you, you must not close yourselves off or turn away from Me, and if you want to do My will you must listen to Me. As My children you must listen to what the father says to you, for only love determines Me to reveal Myself, and you must not reject My love or you will remain powerless and ignorant, thus remaining in spiritual darkness. But if you listen to Me you will enter a state of light from which you will never be able to sink back into darkness. You can only constantly increase the degree of light because, if you listen to My word, you will come into contact with the source of light. (18.6.1949) You will now be constantly fed with light and strength, for if you listen to Me, thus receive My word, you receive Me Myself, Who is the word from eternity. You do not yet understand this and are therefore not aware of the great grace which the transmission of My word signifies for you …. that I Myself make contact with you in a certain visible form, that you have evidence of a body of thought in your hands which contains comprehensive knowledge, that you can therefore provide evidence of having been instructed from above. This applies to My directly received word where I obviously reveal Myself. But even if you receive My word in another way it will radiate its strength to you who receive it in your desire to hear Me. Through your heart’s desire My spirit will pour over you, your thinking will be right, your knowledge will correspond to truth and everything imparted to you through My word will be understanding. You always make contact with the source of light and strength if you request light and strength, and the supply always happens through My word, regardless of whether it is received directly, through reading or through hearing My messengers. I Myself am present to you in the word, and this alone guarantees that you will not go away empty-handed. In the word I Myself descend to you and, as father, bring My children the bread of life which they need as nourishment for their souls …. The word means everything …. food and drink, light and strength, love and wisdom …. and whoever has My word can no longer perish eternally, it is My flesh and My blood, bread and wine from heaven, it is the outflow of My love, for the word is I Myself ….
Amen

The soul matures through suffering …. God’s care …. World and God ….
B.D. 4672 from June 18th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Whatever serves to benefit your soul has been foreseen since eternity. Therefore you can regard every difficult and upsetting, joyful and edifying experience, which only aims to achieve your psychological maturity, as having been imposed on you by Me. And if you consider the course of your life from this point of view then nothing should bother, burden or frighten you …. for all is for the best …. Every experience enables you to mature, you can derive benefit for your souls as long as you always recognise Me as the One Who allows it to happen, and remain in contact with Me by constantly glancing towards your Father above, Who wants to shape you into His children on this earth.
Fear and worry are unnecessary if you hand them over to Me and ask for My help. You are never alone if you allow My presence next to you, if you do not want be alone and never exclude Me from your life, if you leave your thoughts, needs and actions entirely to Me, if you let Me take care of them, so that I will guide you and you are merely the executor of My will. You could travel your earthly path carefree and without worry if only you would always walk with Me …. Yet the world frequently stands between you and Me and separates us, the world is close to your eyes, and you neglect Me even though you want to belong to Me. The world is still too important to you, you do not realise its triviality because you are still involved with the world. However, as soon as you are able to value Me above the world, as soon as you are able to put Me first, the world will no longer burden you, it will not disturb you, you will be able to cope easily and be master of everything that approaches you on a worldly level.
Make the attempt, let Me take care of you and entrust yourselves to My protection and care with complete faith. First fulfil your duty towards Me by living in accordance with My Word and working for Me and My kingdom. Then you should also inform other people of My will by always reminding them of their true destiny, by motivating them to improve their souls and by passing on My Word, which you have received from Me and which will enlighten them where they are still in the dark. Draw your fellow human beings’ attention to the fact that I Am in charge of all people’s destiny, that nothing happens to people without meaning and purpose, that higher development is the purpose of every experience, and that everything is bearable if I Am approached for help, acknowledged as Controller and Creator of eternity and prayed to for My Fatherly care. Caution them not to forget Me for the sake of the world, then every individual person’s earthly path of life will be easy and safe and his soul will derive benefit from every experience. For I only want your soul to mature when you have to go through suffering, but you can make it bearable for yourselves if you take heed of My Word and always allow Me to walk with you. For I Am your Father and only want the best for My children ….
Amen

Consistency of the pure word of God …. change man's work ….
B.D. 4673 from June 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
What is from Me will last for eternity, what is of human origin is impermanent, i.e. it changes in a shorter or longer time. And thus My word will remain in existence for eternity, thus My pure word will always be conveyed to people in the same form, yet human will can change it, and this changed word will be reshaped again from time to time because it is not the pure teaching from Me. But you humans will only be able to judge whether what you are commanded is truth if you are enlightened by My spirit, if you make yourselves worthy and capable of being taught by My spirit by living according to My will, thus allowing its working in you. Then it will be possible for you to distinguish truth from error if you use My word, through which I Myself speak to people on earth, as a standard and then compare it with the serious will to recognize the truth. Then you will also understand the meaning of My words and also clearly recognize what is human additional work and it will not be difficult for you to differentiate. Then consider what you feel to be right …. and it will be right, for I Myself guide your thoughts and draw your attention through doubt by speaking to you through the voice of the spirit which expresses itself in the individual’s life of feeling. I place doubt into your heart as soon as you carry the serious desire for truth within yourselves, because I want My only true word to be recognized as divine and therefore also want people to learn to distinguish My word from the human word, which they can do with My support, and I will indicate to you the characteristics where My activity begins and My adversary’s activity ends …. (20.6.1949) What is from Me can easily be recognized by the love which speaks from every word. This must always be taken into account, after all, only My commandments are given which are based on love for Me and for the neighbour. Therefore it can easily be checked whether what is demanded of people is harmful to their fellow human beings if it is not fulfilled …. Human beings added other commandments to My commandment of love and through these also contaminated My pure teaching, because human statutes thus made My commandments pale and were sometimes more respected than those. In order to justify these humanly issued commandments another meaning was attached to My words and thus the pure word of God was changed, which resulted in a deviation from the pure truth and changed continuously. The explanations of what I spoke as a human being on earth now had to conform to the teachings or human statutes if My word was not to be completely eliminated. And thus error came upon humanity which was only recognized by those who allowed My spirit to take effect in them. But error cannot exist forever, again and again truth is conveyed from above to earth, and again and again action has to be taken against error, yet whether it is successful is up to the human being’s will, who can profess both truth and error. Yet only that which comes directly from Me and remains unchanged can be recognized as My word …. Every change is man’s work and will also not remain in existence, but My word will remain in existence for all eternity ….
Amen

Love epitome of divinity …. reverse love ….
B.D. 4674 from June 21st 1949, taken from Book No. 53
The most sublime feeling is and remains love …. But not everything that you humans understand by love is to be recognized as love …. For love can also be a perverse one which cannot claim to be sublime. Love is the divine principle, thus it is actually the epitome of divinity, it is something that cannot be defined, it is the essence and characteristic of God, it is the great power which is inexplicable to human beings and which caused everything to come into being because it has a creative and enlivening effect. It is therefore the original being of God, it is something radiating from God, which is found in all His creations and should come to full development in the human being. Right love draws upwards, it seeks union with eternal love, the original source of life and all strength. Again, it is only possible to grasp this in people in whom true love has come to fruition, otherwise this remains an incomprehensible concept because people can certainly feel the feeling of love in their heart but usually give any desire the name ‘love’, which, however, is only a wrongly directed love, a desire for union with things which appear desirable to the human being. But such a wrongly directed love is not strength-giving, whereas right love is strength in itself at the same time, which again can only be made understandable to a loving person. For only a loving person can recognize this strength because he not only lives an earthly life but also a spiritual life, thus he seeks contact with the kingdom where right love is emanated and the strength of love has a more spiritual effect insofar as it is used for loving activity, thus it certainly stimulates earthly activity but never seeks to achieve earthly success with it but unconsciously strives for spiritual ascent. The strength of love can achieve everything …. Anyone who brings love to its highest development is able to work miracles because he is filled with divine strength for which nothing is impossible. The fact that people cannot prove this to themselves is due to their limited willingness to love. They could provide this proof at any time, yet the most sublime feeling, pure divine love, which is completely selfless and only seeks to please, this love is alien to people, and thus the union with eternal love, which results in the supply of divine strength in abundance, is only rarely established. For it is understandable that everything which conforms to God’s original nature, which is love in itself, can also develop divine abilities, because the human being is a part of God which only has an anti-divine relationship with Him through its own will. If it changes its will …. thus it shapes itself into love, which it previously lacked, then it takes on all divine characteristics again which it originally possessed and lost through its own fault. As soon as God’s thinking creature, the human being, realizes what it actually is, as soon as it recognizes its belonging to God and tries to make itself worthy of it, it approaches the original source of strength again, for eternal love recognizes its will and draws it towards itself. But then the human being is also active in love, for the supply of strength expresses itself in activity in love, because God and love are one and, where God is present, it cannot be active in any other way than in love. This means as much as approaching God and receiving strength in all fullness. Love is the most sublime feeling which can move a person, for it is divine emanation into the heart of a person who is of good will …. Love which turns to earthly things, which are therefore still to be regarded as matter, is not strength-giving but strength-sapping, and since the human being has no spiritual supply of strength he uses the strength of life to gain what his wrongly directed love desires. Thus he gains nothing but loses, because what he gains is transient and he forfeits imperishable values which he should create for himself with his vitality. Right love makes the human being happy,
(22.6.1949) right love is not a demanding but a giving love, it distributes without wanting to receive and yet constantly receives the more it distributes. For right love is a united working with God and therefore must also be capable of everything, thus it will always be victorious, i.e. stronger than any other strength or power, it will conquer evil, it will appease anger, it will achieve everything because it is patient and long-suffering, and thus even God’s adversary will not be able to resist the strength of divine love and one day declare himself defeated, because he, too, will long for God’s love and surrender to it without resistance, just as all spiritual beings sense God’s love and allow themselves to be redeemed by it by no longer resisting it ….

'That day and hour knoweth no man ….' False prophets of the last days ….
B.D. 4675 from June 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
No seer and prophet will ever be able to predict the time of an impending judgment, for this is not permitted by God due to being detrimental for people. For this reason no person will ever be able to predict the day when a judgment comes upon people. Nevertheless, their attention shall be drawn to it, and so God proclaims through a human mouth, through seers and prophets, as soon as a judgment is approaching. The announcement of a judgment on its own should therefore be believed, but if a definite time of the judgment is given, the prophecy can rightfully be dismissed as wrong …. In that case false prophets will have appeared which need not be listened to, for such announcements are generally made for the sake of earthly advantages and then you must be cautious. However, if God avails Himself of a person in order to inform humanity of His eternal plan of Salvation, He will not merely inform him of His intention, of the forthcoming judgment, but He will also provide him with the general knowledge which makes the necessity of a judgment comprehensible to God’s servant, so that he can convincingly substantiate these prophesies to his fellow human beings. But regardless of how determinedly he will stand up for the truth of the proclamations, he will never be able to state a precise date, because God reserves this right for Himself. Nevertheless, each such proclamation can be accepted as absolute truth, and time and again the Book of the Fathers will confirm that the announcements completely correspond to it, consequently, the fulfilment of these announcements can be expected with certainty and the forthcoming judgment taken as established fact, even so, humanity shall remain uncertain as to when God will manifest Himself; however it shall always be prepared, otherwise the announcements conveyed to people by God’s love would defeat the purpose and the judgment would befall humanity suddenly and unexpectedly ….
Amen

Sphere of activity for workers in the vineyard of the lord ….
B.D. 4676 from June 25th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
The sphere of activity of a person who wants to put all his strength into My service is vast, for I will hand over a field of work of greatest extent to him. Extremely fit workers are needed whose activity extends to everything that promotes spiritual development. And thus every worker for Me and My kingdom will also have the opportunity to proclaim My word everywhere, he will be guided by Me such that My water of life will seep everywhere where it can have a fruitful effect. He is in My service, and thus he receives assignments from Me which he will also always be willing to carry out, and I place these assignments into his heart, i.e., he will always act as he feels urged from within. Thus he will carry My word to where it is needed, he will fertilize the field of life, he will work on his fellow human beings’ hearts in order to scatter good seed which will bear fruit when the time of harvest has come. Spiritual development has to be promoted, therefore I have assigned spiritual guides to you humans who bring you the gospel in My name, who proclaim My word to you, which is the source for your hearts, for your field of life, from which the living water flows, without which it cannot bear fruit. And it will require much work, for human hearts are often like stony ground which first has to be cultivated in order to receive the seed. Still others have received bad seed and must first be cleansed of weeds. They have certainly received spiritual good, but not according to the full truth and must be instructed so that they give up the wrong and exchange right knowledge for it. This, too, is a work which servants devoted to Me must carry out …. fight against misguided teachings in order to set pure truth against them. This is the task I set for those who are devoted to Me and want to work according to My will, whom I therefore train as true teachers who have an office to administer. It requires great love for fellow human beings and profound faith but also results in richest blessings, because it brings salvation to many souls which, in their ignorance, step into the light, guided by My servants, whom I Myself send to you humans. Their mission is important and therefore also blessed by Me, for they work in My name, they work for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Purpose and aim of the earth walk …. instructions and help of God ….
B.D. 4677 from June 26th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
The purpose and meaning of earthly life is the upward development of the human being’s soul, which begins earthly life as a human being in a state which is not God-like and is meant to develop into a God-like being. This upward development can only take place when the human being moves in divine order, i.e. fulfils God’s will. God’s will, however, is that the human being discards all his faults and instincts which he possessed at the beginning, that he shapes himself into love in order to become similar to God, Who is eternal love Himself …. If the human being lives in divine order then the state of ignorance will also disappear, the human being’s knowledge will increase, his knowledge will correspond to truth, his thinking will always be right, his will will turn towards good, and every activity will be based on love for God and his neighbour …. the human being’s soul will become perfect, as is its destiny, and finally be able to discard the earthly shell in order to enter the spiritual kingdom light-heartedly as a being of light which can work in all strength and wisdom for its own happiness …. This is the purpose and aim of the earthly walk. In order to reach the aim, that is, to do what is necessary to become perfect, the human being must be instructed, which can happen in many ways: He can receive instructions from outside which first stimulate him to think, whereupon the instructions can be continued from within, i.e., the activity of thought is constantly stimulated by spiritual beings which stand in knowledge and the human being can, so to speak, hold dialogue with those beings which now instruct him truthfully, even if mentally …. thus the human being will always think and want correctly as soon as he is serious about truth. And thus he will now be informed of what the human being is, of his relationship to the eternal creator, of how he should change this relationship and what his fate in eternity should and can be. The responsibility for his soul has to be presented to him so that he now leads an appropriate way of life. Instruction offered to him from within, if the human being is of good will himself, that is, if he thinks in a God-oriented way, will always correspond to the truth. However, since people who are distant from God also want to teach, thus they want to transfer their wrong thoughts …. which must be wrong because they are not turned towards God …. to their fellow human beings, it is understandable that people will be offered many misguided teachings which contradict each other, and there will then always be a battle on earth between error and truth. And therefore God now comes to the aid of people who demand Him …. He imparts His word to them as guarantor of truth …. He teaches people directly by revealing Himself through the inner voice to the person who desires to hear Him. Thus He trains teachers who pass on His word, the truth He received from Himself, to their fellow human beings. And through His word He makes His will known to people, He instructs them what to do and what not to do, He gives them the commandment of love and introduces them to knowledge which is extremely valuable for the soul’s development. He clarifies error, warns and admonishes and thus constantly helps His children to perfection on this earth like a loving father. However, His word, which is directly conveyed to earth, is and always remains the same as He Himself preached to people at the time of His life on earth, for His word never changes for ever …. If it undergoes a change due to human will then He will always convey it to earth again in all purity, and thus His word will remain in existence for all eternity. But the word changed by people will constantly give rise to divisions because it changes again and again as soon as it has once deviated from the only truth. God will always ensure that perfection is possible for the human being in the short time on earth, even though He leaves him free will to make use of every possibility. Yet error and lies make perfection on earth impossible, which is why the pure truth has to be conveyed to people, and everyone who seriously desires the truth will be brought close to it. Therefore the human being only needs to want to experience what is right and true and God will supply it to him. Depending on his maturity and ability to recognize, he will be instructed directly or indirectly, as God in His wisdom recognizes to be effective for him ….
Amen

Endlessly long course of the soul before embodiment as a human being ….
B.D. 4678 from June 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
Keep the soul’s infinitely long course through all creations in mind so that you become aware of the responsibility you now bear towards the soul as a human being. In the stage as a human being you are deprived of recollection, thus you only have to believe what is conveyed to you through announcements from the spiritual kingdom. But you are taught by knowing beings who give you nothing but truth, and thus you can never say that you remained completely ignorant of the soul’s life before its embodiment as a human being. It is constantly pointed out to you, and you constantly have the opportunity to increase your knowledge about it, and thus, if you seriously imagine what lies behind you, you must come to your soul’s aid so that it can complete its course of development on earth. The many stages before in the bound will have been overcome by it, and the path constantly led upwards. But now as a human being there is the danger of sinking again, and you have to avert this danger from your soul by being attentive and now consciously striving upwards. The knowledge of the earthly life before the embodiment as a human being will certainly increase the sense of responsibility, but the human being cannot even begin to imagine the agonies a new embodiment means for the soul, for the spiritual. For this reason I provide people with the knowledge of the whole of creation and its actual purpose, and I also instruct them about the fate of those who fail in earthly life and are now faced with their final decision, who create or determine their fate in the beyond themselves through their will. As soon as they believe, these instructions will not remain without impression, and the human being will make an effort to live in accordance with My will …. then he will avert the greatest danger from the soul, and it will eternally thank him for it. But anyone who does not believe pays no attention to these words either; for him there is no kingdom in the beyond, for him there is neither eternal life nor spiritual death, for him there are no preliminary stages, just as there is no survival of the soul after its death. And it is these who consciously go to their ruin, who will certainly have to cover the path through the whole of creation once again, for neither the agonizing state in solid matter nor the infinitely long time the spiritual has to remain in every creation until the final redemption from form is imaginable to them. They will have to feel in themselves what they are warned of through My love again and again. They don’t believe and therefore have to experience it if all admonitions and warnings remain unsuccessful and they don’t listen to My word, which cannot sufficiently describe to them the great adversity which awaits them after their death ….
Amen

Deep faith in truth of divine word …. "Ask and it will be given to you …."
B.D. 4679 from June 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 53
To possess profound faith in the truth of My word is the surest means of help in all adversity. For then you will be able to remember every word of Mine and be full of confidence in My support, then you will draw comfort and strength from every word and nothing will shake and depress you anymore, nothing will seem so difficult to you because I have given you the assurance that I will arrange everything for you and always take care of you. Faith in My word is the greatest wealth you possess, for with it you can achieve everything, cope with everything and resist every enemy attack, for it is at the same time strength-giving and will chase away all weakness. But again, such profound faith is also a special grace which is granted to all of you but is used by very few. If you ask for this grace then you will also be able to believe, for then you will also want to believe, and I bless this will and help you to gain strength of faith. And if you then accept My word into your heart it will seem like a convincing, comforting speech which touches you beneficially, and you will not feel any doubt but only listen to Me attentively and feel comforted and strengthened by My word …. But then you will also be able to believe, for as soon as you believe to hear Me Myself My word is also sacred to you, you will not doubt it, and you will have gained infinitely much if you carry this faith within yourselves. For My word is the only truth, and if I promise you something, if I give you the assurance that I will help you, every adversity is already taken from you as soon as you believe that I am love and truth Myself and that My omnipotence is truly sufficient to grant you everything you ask for. But I Myself have given you the promise: “Ask and it shall be given you; knock and it shall be opened to you ….” So is there anything you cannot achieve if you turn to Me in believing prayer? You who have My word, you only need to believe in this word of Mine, and you will lack nothing ….
Amen
