Value of divine revelations ….
B.D. 4680 from June 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The value of spiritual revelations is only recognized by a few and cannot be proven to people in a school-like manner, but it will make all who awaken the spirit in themselves and are now worthy to receive divine revelations extremely happy. It can only be mentioned to fellow human beings, but the extraordinary grant of grace only becomes comprehensible to the spiritually awakened. And yet, fellow human beings should be made aware of it, because every divine revelation contains the strength within itself and can therefore still have an effect on the heart so that it feels the benefit and truth of what is brought to it as divine revelation and now desires it again and again, which can also lead to the awakening of the spirit. What comes from God will never be without beneficial effect …. only this effect presupposes a certain attitude towards God …. the human being must acknowledge God and be of a will turned towards Him …. Then he will also feel His word, His revelations, as a benefit, he will feel the strength which flows forth from the word of God, and he will seek to turn to this benefit more often, he will desire the word of God, gratefully receive it and be aware that he thereby draws closer to God Himself, because God is present to him as well as He knows the human being’s desire and will to be directed towards Himself. A divine revelation is therefore always proof of God’s presence, even if it is not passed on directly but through the mouth of man. The listener will always be able to feel the power of the word in the form of increased desire for the divine gift. Many people can place themselves in the blessing of divine revelations but most lack knowledge and therefore do not know about the extraordinary gift of grace, about the love which manifests itself through a revelation to those who want to know God. And without knowledge they don’t strive for it, but without striving and desire no gift of grace can be given to them either, because then it would remain completely unnoticed. The fact that God reveals Himself proves the creator’s intimate relationship from eternity with His living creations, whom He wants to let participate in His emanation of love, whom He wants to put into possession of light and strength …. (2.7.1949) For He knows about people’s weak state in need of help, who are indeed His eternal living creations but who, due to their wrong will, started earthly life as spiritual beings turned away from Him and should turn to Him again of their own free will. Yet they are unable to do so without help, therefore God’s love comes to meet them and wants to strengthen them and motivate them to change their will. But in order for them to recognize Him He reveals Himself to them in various ways so that it is now possible for them to change into the enlightened state from the beginning if only they want to. This is why divine revelations are of such immeasurable value, since they can shape the spiritual being’s fate into a blissful one for all eternity, yet always dependent on the human being’s free will during his earthly existence. God has constantly revealed Himself since the beginning of creation, the connection between God and people has never ceased, His revelations have always been the light which broke through the darkness of night …. the fallen creatures’ lack of knowledge …. and thus the possibility was always given to reach the original source of light, to God …. But again and again the light was dimmed, i.e. what emanated brightly and radiantly from God was darkened or completely extinguished by human will. Pure truth was interspersed with error or displaced by falsehood. Divine revelations were disfigured and in this state still presented to people as divine. As a result, humanity fell more and more into darkness, except for a few who opened themselves in free will to divine revelations and were now able to receive radiant light again. Such rays of light shine sporadically in the middle of the darkness of night and their effect is indescribably beneficial for the perfection of souls which are in the process of ascent development and need help from God, but conversely the disfigured revelations have an unfavourable influence on this process, indeed, they mostly prevent it. For this reason God will again and again reveal Himself to those who are of good will and place themselves in a state which allows direct or indirect revelations. For God is the eternal truth and also wants to guide people into truth, because truth alone is light and leads people to the right realization of God’s essence, which is love, omnipotence and wisdom, and thus also awakens the right love for God in them ….

Outpouring of the spirit …. task of the servant of God ….
B.D. 4681 from July 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Anyone who mentions My working through the spirit portrays the relationship between Me and My living creations as it is, and which the human being usually does not believe because he believes the deity to be infinitely far away from him and therefore does not recognize Its love either. But I want to win people for Myself, I want them to know that I am close to them, I want them to establish a familiar relationship with Me and therefore I want to reveal Myself to them through you who let My spirit work in you. People have completely lost their faith in such an intimate connection between Me and people, which results in hearing My voice, and when they speak of Me they only speak of a power Which they acknowledge; they certainly speak of Me as their and the universe’s creator but not of their father, Who I am and also want to be for them in their consciousness, for until they recognize Me as father they will not love Me and desire Me either. Therefore you should proclaim to your fellow human beings again and again that you hear My voice, that I speak to you and constantly instruct you, that I impart knowledge to you in an unusual way which eliminates human aid, thus it cannot demonstrably come from outside but emerges from yourselves, which can only be regarded as evidence that I Myself make Myself known through My spirit in the human being. People certainly understand the enlightenment through the spirit by hearing it, however, it cannot be imagined in any other way than by right thinking …. but the fact that a knowledge is dictated to the human being only makes this concept correct, and you should testify to this as living proof. You shall enlighten people about the prerequisites for My presence, above all you shall demonstrate to them the strength of love and the consequences of a life of love, which is the prerequisite for My working, for My presence in the human being’s heart and for the soul’s ability to hear My voice within itself. You shall portray Me as a fatherly being Who cares for His creations, Who wants nothing else but to be united with them who have emerged from My love. Only the awareness of being able to call upon the eternal creator as father awakens trust and love for Him in the human being, and I constantly court this love and therefore need you, My servants on earth, as mediators. For through you I want to speak words of love to My living creations, and so that they believe that it is I Myself Who makes Myself known through you, you must continue to communicate with your fellow human beings and mention My working in you. You must point out to them My visible help to you if you are in need, the abundance of knowledge which was offered to you and with which you can prove My influence to your fellow human beings. You must remind them of My words: “I will remain with you until the end of the world …. I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth ….” If people cannot find a proper explanation for these words of Mine, they will accept My working on you as a sufficient explanation and begin to think about the creator’s right relationship to His creatures …. and, if they are of good will, acknowledge Me as father and likewise strive towards Me. And then you will have fulfilled a beautiful task and your reward in eternity will not be small ….
Amen

Judgement of supernatural working …. (Gröning ?)
B.D. 4682 from July 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Don’t burden yourselves with thoughts of seemingly supernatural events whose value and nature you cannot judge as long as you cannot convince yourselves of the spiritual basis of such occurrences. Where a connection with Me is established, that the most intimate union takes place between Me and the human being, there the human being’s strength is also unlimited, and whatever he achieves he achieves by using My strength, thus in unity with Me. And then it is also My will that this expression of strength will be revealed to humanity. Thus I Myself am behind every supernatural deed, and it is the strength of faith which brings about every success. But I reserve this transfer of strength for Myself, that is, where I know a person as a representative of My teaching and his will, who is fully devoted to Me, and who is therefore active on earth in My name, I will also work in communion with him, but only there …. Thus you will be able to recognize for yourselves My or My adversary’s assistance in every extraordinary feat of strength which can therefore be described as a miracle …. Faith and love are the hallmarks of My presence and My assistance. Where deep faith and true neighbourly love determine a person to help, I cannot be excluded because I Myself am love and will therefore always be present where loving activity takes place. But I will not prevent My adversary from using strength either if he finds the will turned towards him in a person, yet his activity will also be recognizable in the person who carries it out himself …. He will not be a proclaimer of My teaching …. thus not active in My name, because then he will only have to stand up for Me and My name. He will not spread My word, even though he speaks the name ‘God’ …. And by this the right and the wrong servants of God can be recognized and also every miraculous deed, that My word has to be preached where I Myself donate My strength for the benefit of suffering humanity. For I work to confirm My word because My word is the most necessary thing people need. And thus judge for yourselves if you are given the opportunity to judge, i.e., ask for information as to whether and to what extent My gospel is being proclaimed …. Where My adversary is at work My word will hardly be conveyed to people, otherwise My adversary would have to preach love and would no longer be My adversary from that moment on. But I leave the examination up to you so that you pay attention to what touches you miraculously, so that you reflect and appeal to Me for My support, so that you judge righteously …. acknowledge where My spirit is active and reject where My adversary is active. And I will guide your thinking correctly if you want to recognize what is right, for truth shall become yours if you desire it ….
Amen

Lord's right sendings …. gift of speech ….
B.D. 4683 from July 6th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I instruct My messengers to bring the gospel to people in My name, thus I send them into the world in My stead, i.e. to fellow human beings who are still in the midst of the world, thus who have not yet spiritually directed their senses. My gospel, the divine teaching of love, is to be presented to them so that they will adjust their way of life according to it, thus always be active in love. Now this task is spiritually of utmost importance, earthly, however, it is regarded as completely useless work, and therefore only few are willing to enter My service, i.e., to carry out their lord’s will as My servants. Therefore, the messengers who are My messengers, i.e. who preach in My name, do not often get in your way. Yet there are many who appear to teach without, however, having been instructed to do so by Me and having been taught by Me themselves. They certainly pretend to be My messengers but they have not received the commission from Me and therefore have not been trained by Me for their teaching activity either. And thus their knowledge will not suffice, their teachings will only be piecemeal, yet if they are of good will and seriously want to serve Me I will enlighten their spirit, if they themselves allow it through the love which has to ignite in them I Myself shall be with them. Therefore all can feel taught by Me who only seriously want to be My servants. But this serious will is not inherent in all who call themselves My servants, and therefore the right gospel is only rarely conveyed to people, the listeners are only rarely under the impression of hearing Me Myself speak, and therefore the word does not really go to their hearts, they think more intellectually, they take literally what is to be understood spiritually and easily reject everything which is best and most successful for people, which is offered to them from above. Yet the few who are in possession of the pure truth, because they receive the gospel directly from Me and have the will to pass it on into the world,
(7.7.1949) I call them My messengers, for they convey My will to the earthly children who open their ears and hearts and thus let Me speak to them through them. The serious will to be active for Me and My name and thus also the right way of life arising from it makes the human being My messenger, My emissary, who now works with his lord’s goods, who conveys My word to his fellow human beings. Anyone who has received this assignment from Me can be assured of My support in every way, I will give him the ability for the teaching ministry, I will give him the opportunities to appear in a teaching capacity, I will guide people into his path who need My instructions and are worthy of My address, I will also guide him to those who stand apart from Me and to whom the last lifeline shall be thrown; I will bless his activity for Me earthly and spiritually, I will keep him so that he will not fall and always present him as My apostle by giving him the gift of speech and a clear intellect which especially stands out in spiritual conversations because I want people to have a sign who that apostle’s lord is, in whose service he stands. And they will be able to recognize it at any time if they remember My word which I spoke to people on earth. For My promises will be visibly fulfilled in them …. I want My word to be spread throughout the world …. I therefore want My apostles, My disciples of the last days, My messengers, to speak for Me and My name, I want them to proclaim My teaching of love everywhere and point people to the end, to the last judgment, to their spiritual hardship …. that they admonish and warn them, so that people will go into themselves and remember their souls …. And I will bless everyone who works as a labourer in My vineyard, who as My servant does the work I require ….
Amen

Power of satan …. "Watch and pray …."
B.D. 4684 from July 8th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Great is the power of him who wants to destroy you. He does not shy away from any means and wraps the cloak of righteousness around himself, he tries to confuse your thoughts so that you are no longer able to distinguish right from wrong. He wants to overthrow you, he wants to bring you down so that you remain lying on the ground and can no longer rise. And he will harass you in every way, but most of all when you have chosen Me as your aim and have taken the path which leads to Me. Then he will lurk at every crossroads and want to lead you astray. He approaches you under the mask of a friend behind whom you see no falsehood, and he tries to win you over through words and deeds which, however, do not arise from love but are only appearances which you should fall prey to. Pay attention to this and always stick to Me, then I will not fail to warn you and walk invisibly next to you, I will pull you onto the right path and put the feeling of disgust into your heart if the deceiver approaches you under the cover of love. Detach yourselves from the world and you will only be exposed to a few temptations, but he lures you with the world and its pleasures and not infrequently succeeds. Give up everything the world offers you and seek Me, Who can truly give you goods which are incomparable to earthly goods. Know that behind every earthly joy lurks the tempter who wants to oust you from Me and turn towards you and who uses the pleasures of the world to win you over. His power is great, for he has many means at his disposal which are successful with people. But I only offer you one thing …. My love which wants to help you attain beatitude. And this love expresses itself in the transmission of My word, which is why you must therefore regard My word as a gift of love which you should never ever underestimate and which you should therefore request and receive at any time if you want to increase your spiritual wealth and then also be strong in your resistance against the enemy of your soul. My word is a sure weapon against the attacker, for if you oppose him with My word he will lose all power over you and desist from his plan to win you for hell. But again and again he will approach you and try his arts on you and therefore “watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation ….”
Amen

Light being embodied …. mission …. childhood of God ….
B.D. 4685 from July 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Consider that you are not of this earth if I look after you with a mission which aims to redeem the erring souls. Consider that it is My will that everything returns to its origin, that all My living creations must find their way to Me in order to become blissfully happy, and furthermore, consider that the imperfect spiritual being’s will is so weakened that it would never take the path of ascent itself if it were not helped with advice and action by beings of light which assist them by trying to determine their will to turn towards ascent. And these beings of light are now partly spiritually and partly earthly active, that is, beings of light are embodied in the flesh for the purpose of proclaiming My will in order to fulfil their mission to convey My will, which is proclaimed through My word, to people and thus to be active for their redemption from the form …. And if you consider this you will also understand that you desire to return to your homeland and that this earth is not the right place for you to stay. But you will also understand why you have to humble yourselves, why you have to discard everything that reminds you of the world, if you want to carry out your mission and even make spiritual progress, which can certainly be achieved on this earth even for beings which originate from the kingdom of light …. For earth is the lowest work of creation of its kind which, however, enables the highest (brightest?) degrees of light which shape a being into a child of God. This is why I also allow the embodiment of beings of light on earth, yet the conditions are often difficult and require great love for Me and strong will in order to be fulfilled. Yet again and again I give you the comforting assurance that I will not let you fall, even though you must also let your will become active in order to achieve the highest, for I do not make the will unfree …. I certainly help but I don’t force. And therefore you, too, must take the path of the cross, through suffering and love you must attain that degree of perfection which shapes you into true children of God, you must kindle your love for Me into highest ardour and then work for Me out of this love, you must be active on this earth in a redeeming sense, you must complete your mission until I come to fetch you into My kingdom ….
Amen

Rights leaders …. messengers of God ….
B.D. 4686 from July 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Leaders also lack knowledge if they have not gained it from Me, if they do not fulfil the conditions which earn them the recognition, the knowledge of truth. Then they have elevated themselves to leading positions without being called by Me, and then they can only be blind guides who take the wrong path and cannot guide the people entrusted to them properly either. And I repeat again and again that I Myself call My servants on earth and give them the right training so that they will then administer their ministry correctly and be reliable supports and companions for their fellow human beings. In the last days I need people who know the pure truth, for many will want to detach themselves from those who cannot give them the right information about the meaning and purpose of earthly life. And a messenger from Me must step into their path and gently urge them onto the right path which, although it is often uneven and full of obstacles, nevertheless leads to the aim. These messengers, if they have an enlightening effect, will gain people’s trust, and their teachings will be listened to because they reveal divine origin and because the truth will break through if it is conveyed to people in the right way. Blind guides will lead people astray, My messengers, on the other hand, carry a light and thus they illuminate the darkest path …. because My messengers have My word …. Powerful is this saying that I Myself associate Myself with the messengers so closely that they are able to hear My word …. But by this you also recognize My messengers and know how to distinguish them from the opposing forces, that they are representatives of My word which they receive from Me Myself. Consequently, they must also have the right knowledge because I teach them Myself ….
(10.7.1949) And you should join these leaders, you should entrust yourselves to them if you want to reach the aim, to reach Me, Who can only be reached by one path …. the path of truth. But the pure truth is only contained in My word, the pure truth can only be conveyed to you humans through My word, which is why I instruct My messengers to bring you My word and thus to be reliable guides for you on your path of earthly life. I send you right guides and if you pay attention to them you will gain much, for they possess much and can therefore give much to those who possess nothing. But they receive their possessions, their wealth, from Me and constantly accept it from Me, thus you, too, can come into possession of a gift which originated from Me, you can participate in the enjoyment of that which I can only impart directly to earthly children who are turned towards Me and willing to love. You can enter its blessings and then you will take the right path of your own accord, for then you will only follow the guides who, as My messengers, know the right path which leads to Me. And therefore make sure that you don’t let yourselves be led wrongly, demand clarification from your guides, and if they cannot give it to you then don’t choose them as your guide but search until you have found the right guide, and truly, I say to you that he who seeks will also find, for I Myself come to meet the willing and give Myself to him to recognize …. I approach him in a person through whom I can express Myself, to whom I therefore bring the gospel, unadulterated and pure, and who, therefore …. taught by My spirit …. can convey the full truth to him, which alone leads to Me and to eternal life ….
Amen

Subordination of the will under the divine will ….
B.D. 4687 from July 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Entering into My will inevitably results in union with Me. For then the human being will strive for perfection, he will assimilate himself to My fundamental being and now become My image, so that every gulf between Me and him will be bridged and he will be able to constantly dwell close to Me as a spiritual being full of light. Entering into My will means giving up the former resistance, acknowledging Myself as the highest and most perfect being, inserting Myself into the divine order and shaping Myself into love, because I place love as the first condition in order to unite with My living creations. Furthermore, entering into My will means complete detachment from My adversary, since he tries to transfer completely opposite will onto the human being and the human being has now decided of his own accord to subordinate his will to Mine. Thus the adversary has lost the right to rule over the human being and the latter has liberated himself from his fetters. But entering into My will also presupposes knowledge of My will, and again the reason is given that I must convey My word to earth, which imparts knowledge of Me and My will to people. Hence it is an act of love and mercy that I do not leave people to their self-chosen fate but present their task in life to them, that I show them the path they have to take and that I thus acquaint them with My will, although I leave it up to them to fulfil or reject it ….
(11.7.1949) And now it is decisive how far the human being still opens himself to the influence of the adversary of Me. He has free will himself, thus he is not forced to accept My or My adversary’s will, which also tries to make itself heard by the human being through physical impressions and sensations. His means are the pleasures and joys of the world, but My means is an emanation from the spiritual kingdom which, if it is used, also draws the human being’s soul into the spiritual kingdom, for following My word is already a subordination of the will to Mine and thus an approach to Me which ends in complete unity. Subordinating the will therefore means fulfilling My will, My commandments, which I announce to people through My word …. But My first commandment is: Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself …. Whoever fulfils this commandment has done everything; he no longer rebels against Me but acknowledges Me with a loving heart …. not under compulsion …. he has eternally returned to Me from Whom he originated, he moves entirely in My will, which is also his will, and as My child and heir he will be placed in all the rights of a child and thus be able to create and shape in fullness of strength and be eternally blissful ….
Amen

Devils of the end time …. beyond closed …. new banishment ….
B.D. 4688 from July 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You will continue your interrupted development in the beyond if you do not leave this earth as perfected devils, thus there is still the possibility that you will develop upwards. But your attitude is devilish if you are full of hatred and vengefulness towards your fellow human beings who strive towards God, who are therefore of good will, acknowledge God and seek to fulfil His will. If these people are persecuted merely because of their attitude then a truly diabolical attitude can be attributed to the persecutors, and then all mercy will cease because the spiritual substance in that person will harden and, due to his distance from God, will have to fall into that state which causes banishment in hardest matter. The souls of these people cannot enter the kingdom of the beyond, for there is no possibility of improvement for them, only an ever deeper descent into hell, into remoteness from God. And it is therefore an act of mercy that the spiritual is bound again in matter, because in the state of compulsion it slowly progresses upwards again, even if it takes an infinitely long time. The beyond, the spiritual kingdom, can certainly also receive countless souls which remain in a completely inactive state for eternities but which are still capable of change, which therefore have not yet reached the degree which necessitates a banishment in matter. They can certainly still sink to that degree, but as long as there is still a possibility of the opposite, the soul will not be placed into the state of compulsion either, but which will inevitably be the fate of people who have become devils after the downfall of the old earth. Therefore, what is still capable of change will still be called away before the end of the earth, and these souls can increase their deficient maturity after their death if they are willing to do so. And thus humanity will ultimately only consist of good and evil people, and the separation of spirits has already taken place, so to speak, before the Last Judgment will be. For the few people who are faithful to God will give rise to the divestment of people’s true spirit …. They will be hostile and persecuted and will truly have to live among devils …. And there will be hell on earth …. The most brutal means will be used to make the godly fall away, satan will unleash all his power and cunning to overthrow God from the throne and exalt himself. And it will seem as if satan is victorious. The faithful will tremble and hope and in their deep faith find the strength to persevere. They hope for the coming of the lord and the miraculous salvation from greatest adversity. And God will not let their faith fail, He will come in the clouds when satan believes he has already won the victory. Then the spiritual kingdom will have closed its gates, for then there will only be living and dead people, people who are destined to live on the new earth, who also have eternal life in truth, and people who will be banished into the most solid matter, who will endure death from which they will only awaken to life after an infinitely long time ….
Amen

Pure gospel …. "My word endures until …."
B.D. 4689 from July 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I want to be understood correctly by you and will therefore always try to explain My word spoken on earth to you correctly, providing you are interested in it, i.e. that you strive for truth and the right knowledge. To explain the right knowledge, to give you humans the right realization, is solely My right and My power, for the truth has to come forth from Me Myself but it can be conveyed via many stations and therefore also be brought to you by people. But these people who bring you the truth are always instructed by Me and taught accordingly, so that they have received the knowledge from Me before they teach you. Hence, if the origin of a person’s knowledge can be proven to Me then you can unhesitatingly accept his knowledge as truth, but if the knowledge is of human origin, i.e. his own intellectual activity, then its truth is doubtful, and so that you humans can then constantly check what is offered to you as truth, again and again I will convey the pure truth to earth, thus I will preach the gospel in spirit just as I did on earth, and recipients of the gospel, thus listeners to My word, will be those who show their love for Me in their heart so that I can place the knowledge of the pure truth into their heart. Again and again I give explanations of My word, again and again I try to convey My teaching of love to them, and My spirit’s working will not end until the end of the world …. For without this there is no truth, because people’s imperfection always contaminates the pure, it disfigures the well-shaped, because the divine, which comes into contact with people, will, in time, acquire a human colouring, because the divine will never remain as pure amongst people as it originally came forth. However, as long as My spirit is active the divine will radiate down to earth, as long as My spirit is active the emanations of pure people who are willing to love will also be received, and thus the pure word of God will come to earth again and again, “My word will continue to exist for all eternity ….” Thus the earth will never be able to sink into darkness, My word, as I have spoken it on earth, will never remain misunderstood, for wherever an explanation is needed I am always willing to bring light through My spirit to people who are thirsty for knowledge, and I also always find the right ways and means to convey the truth to those who desire it. But in the end time people feel comfortable in darkness, in the end time people are satisfied with earthly knowledge, they don’t want to hear My language and thoughtlessly accept what is offered to them as My word. And therefore they no longer understand My word either because it has not remained pure, but neither do they strive for the pure truth of their own accord. And therefore I draw their attention to error and lies, I send bearers of light amongst them who, by flashing brightest light, let people recognize the darkness in which they dwell. For I want them to come to knowledge, I want them to hear My word pure and unadulterated and therefore speak to them through My spirit …. I send My disciples of the last days out into the world to spread My teaching, to teach people love again, because without love knowledge cannot be received by them either. And thus I will speak through their mouth, My spirit will become effective in people who are devoted to Me and work for Me and My kingdom. And light will become apparent to all who desire light, the truth will be heard and understood by all who desire it and thus also by Me, Who am the eternal truth Myself ….
Amen

B.D. 4690 from July 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
My small congregation will remain faithful to Me until the end, for it comprises the father’s true children, they are My own who, through their intimate bond with Me, continue to receive strength to persevere even in greatest earthly adversity. My own will certainly be severely harassed by the children of the world who belong to My adversary and fight on his behalf against My own, but I will also always walk alongside My own as a fighter and grant them extraordinary strength so that they cannot be defeated even though the battle is extremely difficult. They have an indestructible shield which is their surest protection …. the shield of faith against which all attacks are unsuccessful …. The harder the earthly adversity becomes, the more confidently they expect My help, My coming from above and salvation from earthly adversity through Me …. they no longer have any earthly protection and are solely dependent on Me, on their faith, otherwise they would have to completely abandon Me and surrender to their earthly enemies. But now it will be recognizable what a strong faith is capable of …. In greatest adversity I will obviously bring help because My own firmly believe that I will help them. And I will never ever let this faith go to waste. And although the adversaries are earthly highly respected, have an abundance of material goods and seem powerful and strong, My own will not desire their goods, they will only strive upwards, they desire Me and spiritual goods, they have completely overcome matter and are therefore also ripe for the stay in paradise on the new earth, which will compensate them for all suffering in the last days before the end. They truly have to pass a test which shall earn them rich rewards, for they do not have to experience the severe suffering and tribulation at the end for their own sake but for the sake of their fellow human beings, who shall recognize by the strength of faith which attitude is the only right one and who still have one last opportunity to profess Me in view of the obvious activity on My part which gives them food for thought. Thus the great tribulation before the end is also to be regarded as a means of redemption for the erring souls, and therefore My special love applies to those who take up a cross for the sake of their fellow human beings and yet firmly stand by Me. But that it is bearable for My own is firmly assured to them, they will persevere and remain faithful to Me until I Myself come in the clouds and fetch them home into My kingdom …. and all adversity will be ended ….
Amen

Man's life task ….
B.D. 4691 from July 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I will use whatever can help you to become blessed, for the spiritual adversity is great which is caused by your unbelief. Yet I want you to learn to believe, I want you to let go of all doubts, I want you to become enlightened, I want you to recognize Me, I want you to perceive My guidance, I want you to join Me, I want you to see in Me your father Who cares for you and wants to promote your spiritual well-being …. It is your task in life to attain the realization of your original nature, your aim and your destiny. But you can only gain this knowledge through faith, otherwise you will remain eternally lightless, thus ignorant. And true knowledge can only be gained through faith which comes alive through love, that is, if you believe in Me as a supremely perfect being then the love for Me will awaken in you and you will try to become like Me in My fundamental nature, thus you will strive for perfection. But only a person who strives to be good can become perfect. Therefore he must live in love …. Through this faith comes alive, i.e. becomes the innermost conviction.
Only a living faith strives for contact with Me, which means that the spiritual spark, which rests as My share in every person’s soul, unites with the eternal father-spirit, thus the person’s thoughts are meant for Me and he now speaks to Me in spirit and in truth, praying to Me. Then it becomes light in him, because he is lovingly active at the same time as the mental connection, driven from within by My spirit, which, because it is My share, tells the human being to do what I Myself do …. work in love …. And love is the key to wisdom, the light of knowledge which is kindled in him increases in brightness, the thoughts move in truth, from within he is now instructed by My spirit, which means that every thought in him becomes the innermost conviction, that he thinks logically and can and will also represent his now mentally gained knowledge to his fellow human being as truth.
You humans should come to this realization, to the truth from Me, during your earthly life, for this knowledge will determine your conduct of life which is good, thus pleasing to Me. Then you will have fulfilled your task in life, and you will have moved from the stage of ignorance at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being into the stage of realization, always in contact with Me, Who may never ever be excluded, thus I must work together with you if spiritual success is to be assured. You humans can reach this aim if only you seriously want to. And I help everyone because he alone is too weak-willed to strive for this aim. I guide people into his path who shall give him the impetus for inner self-examination so that the process can begin of its own free will which turns the still dead, powerless spiritual being into a creature striving for perfection which, in contact with Me, can reach the highest aim …. to become a child of God, as is its destiny ….
Amen

Remodeling the earth in a moment …. miracle of creation ….
B.D. 4692 from July 18th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The act of remodeling the earth is incomprehensible to you humans because it does not proceed within the framework of lawfulness, as every earthly work of creation has so far emerged on the path of a slow upward development, but it will be the work of a moment apart from the destruction before, which affects all creations on the old earth and which, because it takes place before the eyes of the raptured and can also initially still be observed by the people succumbing to destruction, requires its time, as it is natural law. Hence people can observe the course of the work of destruction and therefore God does not work contrary to law, whereas the reshaping of the earth is an activity of God in the universe which is not visible to the human eye and therefore God does not need time but can let everything come into being in an instant which His strength of love and His wisdom wants to bring to pass.
The people brought to the new earth thus find a finished creation of immensely delightful versatility …. Creations which their eyes have never seen will astonish them, especially as they still remember the creations of the old earth and constantly draw comparisons. They will truly find themselves in paradise, standing in fullest harmony with their divine creator and father, cared for and guided by His love and instructed in everything that is foreign to them. People’s relationship to each other will be like a large family and all will strive to gain the love of the heavenly father, to live for His pleasure and to be active in serving neighbourly love. They cannot estimate the duration of their absence from the old earth and their stay after their rapture, for the concept of time is taken away from them until their return to earth, which is why they also have no clue as to the period of time in which the new earth came into being. But they also know that nothing is impossible with God and therefore also consider a sudden creation to be probable, which is why their love and veneration for God always increases and their bliss increases when they look at the miracles which testify to God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence and offer people a thousandfold compensation for the tribulation and suffering during the last time of the old earth’s existence …. God certainly tests people severely but He also rewards their faithfulness, and blessed are those who experience the end on this earth as sheep of His flock …. blessed are those who must endure and endure the worst and in return exchange for the most beautiful, the paradise on the new earth with the constant presence of the father among His children …. blessed are those who persevere until the end, when God Himself will come in the clouds to fetch them into His kingdom, into the kingdom of peace, until He transfers them back to earth, which will truly reveal miracles no human being could dream of, because there is nothing on the old earth which could be cited as a comparison. Yet God’s love knows no bounds and His creative will is inexhaustible and again and again brings about new works which surpass all past ones in order to make His children happy and to reward their faithfulness ….
Amen

Good shepherd …. guide …. carefree living ….
B.D. 4693 from July 19th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Believe that I will walk beside you on your path through life if only you are of good will. I am the good shepherd Who truly tends His sheep, and thus I do not leave any of My creatures to their own devices, but I faithfully take care of every single one and guide it towards the aim …. I lead it the right way into the homeland, into My father’s house. But if you now have a reliable guide, why do you still worry about your earthly well-being yourselves? Nothing should worry you if you know that I am with you and know everything that weighs you down and moves you. Only one thing should be your constant concern …. that you can stand before Me if I demand responsibility from you, as you have used your earthly life for the benefit of the soul. Seek to gain My pleasure in this alone, consider your soul, which I cannot consider without your consent …. I am constantly with you if you don’t harm Me yourselves, and I will always guide you such that body and soul will find what they need …. I will consider the body if you pay attention to the soul’s well-being. But whatever you want to give to the soul of your own free will I will also supply to you, for all gifts come from Me, and as your father of eternity I also take care of My children physically and spiritually. And therefore you should cultivate heartfelt fellowship with Me and choose Me as your guide, then I will never ever leave you and walk the earthly path with you until the end, and then you will not be responsible for any step, for it is My will, and every event on your path of life is foreseen by Me and determined according to your attitude towards Me, so that your soul will mature. Yet the awareness of having Me as your guide shall allow you to travel your earthly path calmly and carefree, and in every adversity of body and soul you should only trustingly come to Me so that I will help you and you will be relieved of all worries ….
Amen

Expression of the spirit dependent on maturity of soul and receptivity ….
B.D. 4694 from July 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
A certain maturity of soul is necessary in order to hear My voice, because the spirit in the human being expresses itself through the soul, i.e. it makes itself known to the soul, which therefore has to be so prepared that it is receptive for every expression of the spirit. For the human being does not hear with bodily ears but it is the soul which receives the spirit’s utterance and passes it on to the bodily human being, the intellect. Therefore the soul must be turned towards the spirit within itself; for a soul which is more turned towards the body directs its ear towards the world and therefore does not hear the quiet voice of the spirit, thus the human being must first separate himself from the world, from the earthly, before he is capable of spiritual announcements which are imparted to him through the spirit. Then the human being has reached a certain degree of maturity of soul, because the spiritual spark in the human being already exerted its influence on the human being’s soul beforehand, stimulating thinking, feeling and willing into loving activity. Once this degree of maturity has been reached, which is the prerequisite for receiving My word, then every question can be addressed to Me and I will answer it so that it is comprehensible to everyone. Thus the recipient of the announcements need not fear that he will then be mentally active himself and write down his own thoughts as My word. The human being is certainly mentally active but only in such a way that he processes the thoughts which I want and have transmitted to him through My beings of light. For the duration of the acceptance of My word the recipient is incapable of thought activity directed towards Me, rather, this thought activity is now an emanation from the spiritual kingdom which meets the recipient with My will and is conveyed to the soul by his spirit. This is why the human being can also convincingly represent the knowledge he has received in this way, for it is purest spiritual knowledge from the heavens, it is My voice which, however, can only be heard by the person who allows the spirit to express itself. But I will always give an earthly child devoted to Me the knowledge it requires, and it could then take advantage of this assurance by discussing with Me in thought what is unclear to it and where it requests clarification about it. Then it will be given to him in a detailed way, because I constantly want to communicate Myself to those who let Me speak to them ….
Amen

The word of God proof of His love ….
B.D. 4695 from July 22nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Nothing can prove My love for you more than My word. And therefore you cannot do anything more reprehensible than reject My word, because you thereby also reject My love. You humans do not yet understand what the latter means, yet your lack of strength, your spiritual low, is proof that you cannot ascend in your development without My love, without My word. Where My word is received through listening or reading or directly from Me, people will also draw strength from it, for I Myself speak to them and transfer My strength to the recipient, and this expresses itself in an increasing desire for Me and My presence, it expresses itself in spiritual striving, in loving activity, in turning away from the world, furthermore, it expresses itself in increasing realization, thus in correct, truthful thinking and knowledge about the beginning and destiny and thus in a way of life according to My will. All this is brought about by My strength, which you receive with My word …. Thus the transmission of My word is also evidence of My love which wants to make you happy in every way and help you reach perfection. For through My word the striving upwards shall become easy for you, through My word you shall gain an insight into My rule and activity and come closer to Me willingly and through activity in love. And since you yourselves, due to your imperfection as a human being, are unworthy to be addressed by Me but I nevertheless do so, you have proof of My love for you again, for with My word I give you a gift of grace of inestimable value and undeserved. Yet your will is too weak to desire My word and therefore I communicate with you in the word without being asked, yet it can only become effective for you if you accept it of your own free will, that is, you will only feel the strength of the word if your will is ready to receive it. And thus My word can also remain completely unsuccessful with people who certainly hear it but don’t make use of it, for whom it is just an empty sound because they don’t receive it into their heart but only hear it with their physical ears. They feel no effect of strength and therefore cannot recognize My love from it either, because they themselves have a hardened heart which is incapable of love. They don’t know Me and don’t desire Me, for their love still applies to the world and matter and they disregard what comes to them from the spiritual kingdom. But then it is never due to My word that they go empty-handed but due to themselves, because My gift of grace has to be accepted with desire and gratitude in order to be effective and to testify to My love for people ….
Amen

Knowledge …. love – truth – God ….
B.D. 4696 from July 23rd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The clear realization of what exists, thus what can be called spiritual knowledge, is only part of perfection and can therefore never be achieved intellectually but only through a will which is completely subordinate to God’s will and which results in a way of life which is full of love and which returns the being to its original state, to the state of freedom, light and strength. Then the being, whether on earth or in the beyond, will no longer be ignorant of things, then it will know everything, about God’s rule and activity, about the connection of all created things with the creator, it will know about the original beginning and the final aim, about the meaning and purpose of divine activity and its cause and effect. Then the being has thus become knowledgeable, it stands in the light and can radiate light itself and again dispel darkness where good will is present again. To gain deep knowledge through thought alone is not possible because the intellect of man certainly carries out a spiritual activity, therefore seeks to order the thoughts, however as long as it happens without spiritual support, therefore where the intellect alone seeks to reach knowledge without the heart. The human being must be good from within, that is, he must feel driven to work of love, only then will the spirit of God come into action, which now orders and directs the human being’s thinking, his intellectual activity, and only then will the result of intellectual thinking correspond to truth, which, however, will not have been achieved by the intellect but by the heart, which to a certain extent influences the intellect to receive and process the thoughts flowing in from the spiritual kingdom. The complete subordination of the will to the divine will is the first condition and presupposes this deep love for God and humility, which finds its expression in serving neighbourly love. Therefore, only the human being who fulfils the divine commandments and thus, through a life of love, unites himself with the one Who is eternal love Himself, but Who is also eternal truth and consequently all knowledge, the pure truth, must originate from Him but can never be passed on to those people who are indeed intellectually extremely active but devoid of all love. For they have no connection with the original source of love and truth and therefore cannot possess or achieve anything which God reserves for those who love Him and keep His commandments. What is not possible for the keenest intellect, to penetrate the all-encompassing knowledge, to penetrate the essence of the eternal deity, is easily possible for a loving heart, and again, even the keenest intellect will find a process incomprehensible which nevertheless results in demonstrable success. For the fact that a person without prior education can provide information and enlightenment requires knowledge which can therefore only have been conveyed to him spiritually and which therefore has to be regarded as proof that the deepest wisdom, the eternal truth, can only be gained through love ….

Help to erring souls greatest work of love and mercy ….
B.D. 4697 from July 25th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You will be granted manifold blessings if you endeavour to help erring souls who cannot find the right path because they are blind in spirit. Bringing them light, pointing them to the right path and thus making it possible for them to reach the aim is a work of mercy and neighbourly love which is significant for eternity and which is therefore highly valued by Me, Who loves all My creations and wants to bring them salvation through you. Physically helping your neighbour is certainly also a work of love which will be rewarded to you; however, putting a soul into the state of recognizing its situation and subsequently changing itself, thus entering the right path which leads to My kingdom and is the only aim worth striving for, is far more meritorious, for at the same time it is evidence of profound faith if a person imparts his knowledge to another which has only been acquired spiritually, thus it cannot be proven. Moreover, such a work of love has an effect for the whole of eternity …. If you imagine that your efforts to enlighten an ignorant person can result in a state of light for his soul which it will never lose again, then this awareness must already be the greatest reward for you to have spared this soul unspeakable suffering which, however, would have been its fate in the beyond if it had entered it in darkness. To have brought light to a person is the greatest work of love, for it proves sincere, unselfish neighbourly love. Although the efforts for an erring soul are often seemingly unsuccessful, what a soul has once received will emerge again in it in cases of great earthly adversity, and then it is still possible for the person to confess it, and this will always be and remain your merit, for a saved soul will eternally thank its saviour if it once stands in the light …. if it has recognized the fate it has escaped through His help ….

Coming need …. living faith …. test of faith ….
B.D. 4698 from July 26th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You have to expect an extremely great adversity in which only faith in Me can sustain you, for little earthly help will be able to be brought to you and you, left to your own devices, will have to appeal for all help from Me. And then you will visibly be able to ascertain the success of profound faith, for My love will always know ways and means that you will be released from the most oppressive adversity. There will be a time when human wisdom and human will will be ineffective because you lack the strength which you have to request from Me. And yet, one will be able to help the other, and if he does so his own hardship will also decrease, yet the entire living conditions will experience a change due to My natural intervention which, however, is intended to show worldly people the impermanence and worthlessness of that which alone is desirable to them …. Again and again I draw your attention to this time, yet in the gear of the world it seems impossible to you that such a time still lies ahead of you. But how then will you survive if you have not already prepared yourselves for it, if no help can be brought to you on the part of the world because I Myself prevent this? …. How can you expect help if you don’t believe in Me and take refuge in Me? Your faith in Me is still very weak, even if you profess it with your mouth and also speak My name as evidence of your faith in Me. Yet true faith has to be won, and I only call true faith living faith, the firm inner conviction of what you claim to believe. But you will fail when this difficult test of faith is put to you. Only then will you realize how much more you should concern yourselves with thoughts of Me, your creator and father of eternity, Who is love, wisdom and omnipotence in Himself, thus He wants to and can help you and will do so if you have this firm faith in Me. It is faith which I want to shape into a living faith through My word, which I repeatedly convey to you, and through the adversity and tests of faith to which I already subject you so that you will mature and become strong in faith before the great adversity sets in. Still regard every day as a gift and make use of it, let your thoughts wander upwards, that is, think more often about your purpose of existence and aim, about life in eternity and about Me, Who is the controller and shaper of everything that exists and in Whom it will be easy for you to believe if only you seriously want to and mentally occupy yourselves with Him. For I truly help everyone to recognize Me who only has the will to do so. And if he calls upon Me I will hear him because I want him to believe in Me. Don’t let the great adversity approach you until you have gained this faith in Me. I alone will be able to help you if all other help fails, for no thing is impossible with God …. And I will provide you with the evidence in the coming time that a profound faith is able to do everything and also banishes the greatest adversity …. Therefore you can also look forward to that time without fear if you have a living faith in Me, in My love, wisdom and omnipotence ….
Amen

Right knowledge – right way of life …. truth ….
B.D. 4699 from July 26th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Everything you need to know will be conveyed to you as soon as you want to become knowledgeable …. For you will be given according to your desire for truth, yet in different forms, because each individual’s thirst for knowledge is also different and I also know what is helpful for the maturing of the soul. And thus you will receive various instructions, you can gain insight into all areas, but your will always has to be good otherwise the knowledge of truth will be withheld from you. But then you can also judge the value or claim to truth of the knowledge conveyed to you by your fellow human beings, for the person who offers it to you must have fulfilled the conditions I have attached to the transmission of pure truth; thus, in order to think and speak correctly he must also act correctly and have a correctly directed will within himself …. He has to be turned towards Me, then he can also believe himself to be in possession of the truth and confidently stand up for it, thus his body of thought can be recognized as corresponding to the pure truth. This is why every debate with good people, with people who take My commandments as a guideline for their way of life, is valuable and beneficial, because it only brings truth to light, whereas it is completely useless to debate with people of an obviously inferior attitude, even though the gospel should also be preached to them. Yet you can never expect truthful enlightenment from such a person, and wisdom will never emerge from his speech, for it is denied him as long as he does not fulfil what is required of him …. as long as he does not make an effort to live a godly way of life which allows My spirit to work. Therefore, first try to ascertain the attitude of the person who wants to instruct you before you impart your spiritual knowledge to him; don’t let yourselves be deceived by pious speeches, examine their deeds and their will as far as you are able, and then examine the mental knowledge he tries to impart to you and you will recognize the giver of what is offered to you …. For everything that is good originates from Me, and thus a good person is also constantly under My influence, a good person is mentally guided by Me and therefore can only receive and also distribute truth, and he will find faith with all who strive for truth ….
Amen

Hearing the divine Word …. Thoughts ….
B.D. 4700 from July 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Only through the inner Word are you able to receive clarification about questions which cannot be answered by earthly scientists. An appropriate Authority regarding spiritual questions certainly exists, yet people rarely take the path to it. For this reason a truthful answer will also rarely be received which can only be provided by the One to Whom nothing is unknown, Who knows everything, Who also wants to impart the knowledge to humanity which enables people to recognise Him. Hence God manifests Himself through the Word and anyone who wants to hear it must gain God’s love, he must make Him well disposed towards him by doing everything God requests of him …. then God will come so close to you that you will be able to hear His voice, for He expresses Himself through His Word, He makes Himself known to you, He speaks to you humans in easily understood language, He speaks through your heart to your intellect and deals with every question you voice or consider in your thoughts. He responds to you …. His Word is therefore a sign of affinity from Him to you, for you will only be able to hear His Word if you unite with Him either mentally or through activity of love …. And as long as the earth has existed God has always spoken to people in this way, however, until now He was more easily understood, whereas now His language is only seldom appreciated. These few people, however, are considered by Him to an unlimited extent. He wants to explain and substantiate everything to them so that they will be able to impart the knowledge they gained in this way to their fellow human beings for their souls’ salvation. And in order to stop them from doubting further He allows them an insight into His eternal plan of Salvation, and thus He ignites a light for them which will never ever let them descend into darkness again …. He approaches those people in the Word who are willing to let themselves be taught. And thus the Word will forever remain the bridge between God and people which, however, can only be entered by a person if he withdraws himself from the world, if he avoids the broad roads which seem more attractive to his eyes and entice him to take them …. He can only perceive God’s voice in solitude, i.e., he must avoid the world and let his thoughts wander into the spiritual kingdom. Then he does what he should do initially: He makes mental contact with God, he enters into a dialogue with Him, he presents Him with questions which move him by allowing his thoughts free rein …. And these thoughts are already emanations from the spiritual realm. For the human being is unable to produce anything by himself.
The intellect is certainly capable of receiving and processing the thoughts which flow to him, yet the thought itself does not arise in the person, instead it touches his heart, but it flows from the kingdom which lies beyond earthly spheres …. The thought is a spiritual product, thus a strength which takes on a specific form as soon as it is received by the intellect, thus the intellect is influenced by the heart to become active by shaping the influx of thoughts and giving them a certain order. The intellectual activity consists of retaining the thoughts which touch the heart as waves and cannot find a response if, due to the bustle of the world, a person’s will only uses his mental activity for worldly things and pays no attention to spiritual currents. However, if the person seeks solitude and turns his back to the world, his heart will be touched and beneficially affected by spiritual currents and eagerly accepted by the person. Due to this willingness of reception the Word shapes itself, that is, the person becomes sensibly and clearly aware of what God Himself wants to tell him. Thus he hears His voice in his heart, the thought waves are received by the heart and conveyed to the intellect, and the person as such is able to rationally take possession of the received spiritual information and also understandably explain it to his fellow human being. This process is in fact simple and uncomplicated, it is just not understood by a worldly person because he does not appreciate the soul’s sensations and therefore also only tries to explain mental activity purely organically. Yet the actual source of the thought is unknown to him and a relevant explanation not acceptable to him because he does not acknowledge anything of a spiritual nature, he only acknowledges what he is able to see or touch. But God continues to provide evidence of forces which human intellect is unable to explain and provides the information about everything through His Word …. Anyone who allows the Word of God to speak to him will have comprehensive knowledge at his disposal, for nothing will remain unknown to a person who allows himself to be taught by Him, and therefore the human being is able to broaden his knowledge, he can delve into everything and get any information he desires. For God does not impose any restriction on a person as soon as he gets in touch with the Giver of knowledge and truth and allows himself to be taught by Him …. as soon as he believes that God Himself speaks to him through the heart ….

Explanation of the stigma…
B.D. 4701 from July 31th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
In My suffering and death on the cross you were given an example of profound love and greatest willingness to make sacrifices which is unparalleled. Now there are things between heaven and earth which are completely inexplicable to you humans because you know nothing of the influence of spiritual forces on a human being who allows such through his will, who moves in divine order. And thus you are often faced with a riddle whose solution, however, is simple for the one who has penetrated spiritual knowledge, for the one who finds an explanation for everything which is offered to him through his spirit. However, such an explanation from the spiritual kingdom can rarely be given to a person because only the direct working of the spirit is seldom admitted or taken into consideration. For often that is regarded as one’s own mental activity which, however, is the working of the spirit, and only rarely can the spirit manifest itself in the human being so obviously that it is recognized and the result is therefore accepted.
My suffering and dying on the cross was exceedingly agonizing for the human being that formed My body, that the sacrifice of the man Jesus surpassed everything that could ever be considered an act of love on earth …. And yet, humanity almost no longer takes any notice of it, it has forgotten because it wants to forget. The concept of a redeemer of humanity has been extinguished in the hearts of most people, and only a few visualize the suffering of the man Jesus without, however, grasping and feeling it in its depth …. The spiritual world, however, is constantly under the impression of the redemption through Jesus Christ. The spiritual world full of light experiences everything in the present, it knows no concept of time, past, present and future are one for the beings of light, and thus they experience Christ’s crucifixion at all times and praise and glorify Him Who opened heaven to them through His death on the cross, Who helped them to see God, Who redeemed the great sin which separated My living creations from Me for eternities. The beings of light are urged to draw people’s attention to the greatest deed of love ever accomplished on earth …. The beings of light would also like to convey the profound impression Christ’s crucifixion repeatedly makes on people, and they meet with resistance, for humanity is so under the impression of the world that the divine redeemer Jesus Christ is only a fanciful figure to them, that for them the portrayal of the act of salvation only signifies a fable and increasingly loses credibility. The luminous spiritual recognizes the increasing darkness on earth and seeks to kindle a little light here and there, it seeks to impart to people a faint reflection from the spiritual kingdom, driven by love for the unredeemed spiritual which, embodied as a human being, threatens not to pass the test of earthly life. Yet access to the human heart is difficult to find for the beings of light, for the soul has to give its consent of its own free will, even though the body can be uninvolved in this expression of the soul’s will …. In a state of detachment from the body, in sleep or in complete lethargy of the body, the soul has to show the desire for an extraordinary supply of strength in every form. Then the beings of light take possession of the soul, which they also do not give up when the body is again in its usual activity in connection with the soul. Then the soul is granted an insight into the spiritual kingdom on the part of the beings of light, which is so impressed by it that the impressions of the soul are also transferred to the body …. Thus the human being does not see spiritual experiences in the bodily state, with the intellect and the eyes of the body, but only the soul sees what, however, is visibly noticeable in its body. The soul experiences the process of Christ’s crucifixion with such intimacy but it does not pass this experience on to the bodily intellect, so that the human being’s thinking is therefore completely uninvolved but the body is affected by the soul’s excitement …. so that the body therefore experiences in the true sense of the word what the soul beholds …. The world full of light seeks to direct people’s thoughts towards the greatest mystery in the universe, towards the greatest work of love, without which no-one could be redeemed from the spell of sin …. The beings of light take every opportunity where they can speak through a person to everyone around him; they also try to attract the attention of those who are unbelieving and try to give themselves a natural explanation. They light little lights which nevertheless spread a bright glow if they are not kept hidden or extinguished by the adversary’s influence who seeks to stifle everything that points to salvation through Jesus Christ. For the battle between light and darkness rages ever more fiercely the closer the end comes, and therefore all indications will also increase …. Signs and miracles will happen, and blessed is he who pays attention to them and draws his conclusions from them ….
Amen

Turning the will to God passing the earth life test ….
B.D. 4702 from August 1st 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The spiritual being which has decided to return to God in free will will also pass the test of earthly life, for the will alone is decisive in order to also receive the strength from God. God will support the will turned towards Him in every way, and even if the temptations approach him, God will hold him so that he will not fall, He will come to meet him as soon as he takes the right path to Him through his direction of will. The will towards God is the beginning of the redemption of the spiritual from form. But the human being must constantly mature through constant struggle, consequently his will is repeatedly put to the test by oppositions which he will either defeat or change his will. But the fact that the human being now completely distances himself from God, that he turns his will away from Him again, will never be the case, because God no longer gives anything which once voluntarily submitted itself to Him, thus was determined to strive towards Him. Periods of standstill can certainly occur, the human being can be indecisive and temporarily pay tribute to the world, yet again and again he will return to the one Who gave him life, again and again the desire will arise in him to move within the eternal order, thus to fulfil the divine commandments, and this is synonymous with the subordination of the will to God’s will and thus already a passed test of faith which ends with union with God. At the beginning of its embodiment as a human being the soul declares itself willing to take on earthly life for the purpose of final maturing, thus the will to belong to God and to do in earthly life what earns it union with Him is first awakened in it. But it also has to carry out this will in full consciousness as a human being. And therefore it is, so to speak, freely placed into earthly life so that it can make a decision, and the human being can only make this decision as soon as he becomes aware of his distance from God. Thus he has to recognize his deficient state and strive for perfection, by which he therefore also strives towards God Himself. Then his will will also become active, and then God will also provide him with strength and never ever let him fall back into the hands of the adversary, from whom the human being has voluntarily withdrawn. Then he will constantly find support from those beings which have already completely entered into God’s will and also want to move people towards it ….
(2.8.1949) Then they will no longer stand alone in the fight against the temptations of this world, then the beings of light will mentally influence the human being, and the will towards God will become ever stronger and therefore the supply of strength will also increase, because by fulfilling God’s commandments the human being will be in contact with the giver of strength and will constantly be able to accept strength from Him. And the path of earthly life will not be unsuccessful, the human being will reach his aim …. the unification with God …. because his will is turned towards God ….
Amen

Various apostasy from God …. Different distances ….
B.D. 4703 from August 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You were given the grace to live as a human on this earth and thus to be able to achieve the highest degree of perfection, if you use the grace in a right way. It is not arbitrary, that you are authorized for this course of development by the creations on this earth, but recognized from My wisdom and joined by My love you walk on this earth, although countless possibilities to mature exist in the universe for the spiritual, that once was insubordinate to Me and shall return to Me. But the course of development is a benefit on this earth, that can lead beings to the brightest light and most powerful strength. But it is also a very hard school, to complete it the spiritual has volunteered, that already has a certain level of maturity once, so it has revived other stars before, but this also can develop up from the deepest depth in the bounded will and may gain the greater advantage, as it passes this test of earthly life. It can be a true child of God, who possess all the rights and all the power of the Father, so it can take the Father’s legacy …. in the most intimate union with God and supreme bliss. Who knows about the eternal salvation-plan of God and about the original ground of My doings and work, he is to ask often himself, what I am determinated, to bless just this earth with My personal presence, to attract the meat and walk among My creatures as a teacher and model …. He is wondering, what I am determinated, to bless this work of creation, the earth, and to come to aid the inhabitants in their ascent to salvation …. It is the spiritual, that was perfectly created by Me, that was apostated from Me by free will, but the break with Me was not equal to all beings, it was argued differently and is happened in various ways, so that the resulting distance from Me was just different in size, that former light beings plunged in the deepest depth and the outer darkness surrounded them, while others retained a glimmer of recognition, even indignant, climbing up to the light again. And so were the conditions, that allowed a return to Me, different, and there were necessary various possibilities to mature, which My works of creation offer in manifold versatility. Deeply fallen spiritual requires a process of maturity, that requires all the hardships, but also promised certain success, however always taking account to the free will, so never compulsorily leads a return to Me. The spiritual, which must go back the path through the creations of the earth, therefore has been in greatest distance from Me, but in the stage of a human almost near to Me, but now it must go the final step only in free will and has to pass a short, but severe test of will, then to enter into the original relationship to Me and to achieve his original quality, to be an eternal blissful being. The course of development is probably easier on other creations, but does not lead to the ultimate aim, to a complete union with Me, to the right childship to God, what for you humans probably is also difficult to understand, because these spirits were not sunk so deeply and still should not to reach the highest height …. But a glimmer of knowledge was left them, so their guilt was so far greater, than that they were able to find back easier but remained in a distance from Me, until they too could reduce by My love and mercy the distance to Me on those creations under less severe conditions, but also with less high aim …. Also they can be blessed creatures, but the grade of bliss is so different, but will never reach the grade of a child of God, of a spiritual being, who will use his will in a right way in spite of most difficult conditions and is therefore holded and pulled up by My love, to be blessed eternally in union with Me ….

Loving Fatherly Words …. Guidance ….
B.D. 4704 from August 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You can always entrust yourselves to My guidance, and you will also always feel it if you are observant. You will not take one step on your own as long as you don’t exclude Me from your thoughts, as long as you endeavour to live with and for Me, as long as you consciously strive towards Me. Thus recognise in every happening My guidance, My hand, and place your trust in Me, for anyone who chooses Me as His confidante will truly find the most loyal friend, the most loving bridegroom, the most caring Father and Protector, Who cannot be replaced by anyone on earth but Who also wants to be loved by you in the same way as He loves you. I will always walk next to you once you have chosen Me as your guide, and I will truly guide you on the right path once I have taken over the care for you, then everything will approach you such that it will help your soul to progress. If you can bring this faith in you to life you will truly take your path on earth without worry and in peace, for I will look after you and have arranged everything in the best possible way. Everything will serve a good purpose; even adversity and suffering will benefit your soul if you carry Me in your hearts, thus, if you mentally stay in contact with Me and don’t want to lose Me. For only this will makes you dear and valuable to Me, and once a person has adopted this will, he will never lose Me again, I will be close to him and he shall constantly feel My love and care. He will never be alone and forsaken, he will always find the confidante in Me Whom he can talk to at all times and Who will always find Words of love and of comfort for him and forever stand by his side with advice and practical support ….
Amen

Thirst for knowledge …. Unlimited knowledge ….
B.D. 4705 from August 5th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The field of knowledge is boundless. And even if you believe that you have been exhaustively taught by Me it is nevertheless merely minimal knowledge although it is sufficient in order to instruct your fellow human beings in turn and to impart a glimmer of realisation to them. Yet you could constantly receive new knowledge, time and again you would be given new information in all fields, time and again you could broaden your knowledge, and the questions and answers would have no end. But it is entirely up to yourselves as to how deeply you want to penetrate the fountain of wisdom …. The aspirant’s desire will always be fulfilled and therefore you, who are being trained for teaching work, will time and again be stimulated through spiritual discussions, so that through your conversations you discover gaps in your knowledge in order to kindle your thirst for knowledge which subsequently can be satisfied. I want you to ask questions so that I Am able to answer you, it is My will that you take an active interest in conversations of a spiritual kind, that you don’t merely listen but allow your heart and intellect to be impressed, then elucidating knowledge will be imparted to you which will satisfy you and make you grow in wisdom, faith and strength …. The deeper you penetrate spiritual knowledge the more convincingly you will be able to believe and the closer you will come to Me and receive strength from Me directly. The fountain of knowledge is inexhaustible and the field which only I can open up to you is unlimited …. Even if infinite time passed by you would never reach the end because My creation is infinite and because that which is perfect must also be forever boundless. Knowledge pertaining to spiritual subjects can therefore never be completed; all the same, what you humans need to know, what is absolutely essential for the soul’s maturing, can indeed be offered to you to a limited extent, yet it depends on your free will as to whether you want to add to this extent or whether you are satisfied with what I give to you …. Time and again I say to you that you will receive an answer to every question, time and again I invite you to ask questions in order to stimulate your thirst for knowledge and time and again I offer you the opportunity to be mentally very active so that I can instruct you again in accordance with your will.
However, don’t consider your knowledge to have reached an end, don’t believe that you are already in possession of all knowledge. For it is an infinite subject your soul can still negotiate if it has the will to do so. Yet the knowledge you receive from Me is certainly sufficient in order to motivate a fellow human being in turn to believe in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence …. And anyone who accepts this knowledge can already call himself indescribably wealthy, for it is the truth, and a tiny grain of purest truth can offset a vast amount of knowledge which is interspersed by error and is more likely to obscure the human being’s spirit …. Pure truth alone is invaluable spiritual knowledge which merits the term knowledge. Only pure truth is illuminating, whereas teachings interspersed by errors will always leave gaps, they are concepts which often seem incomprehensible or incredible to a person who seriously desires to become knowledgeable. True knowledge, however, provides explanations for everything, because it is offered by Me, the Giver of truth. But true knowledge will time and again also give rise to questions; it will constantly inspire you anew to ask questions, so that it should increase and awaken the desire for more knowledge in a person. Inner desire presupposes enlargement of knowledge, this is why I welcome every thinking and questioning person who wants to be taught by Me. And although he does not voice the question I nevertheless answer him through My instrument which I use as a mediator between him and Me in order to express Myself …. Hence, you humans can receive extensive knowledge, no incomprehensible subject need exist for you if only you seriously strive for truth and enter into mental contact with Me. However, I require your full attention, otherwise you will be unable to hear Me, otherwise I refuse to answer although you asked a question yet without seriously expecting an answer, which you demonstrate with your thoughts, which are truly not hidden from Me …. ‘Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ….’ However, My prerequisite is a serious searching, an appealing thought and an expectation of My answer by listening within or by listening to a mediator …. but then you will be instructed, you will be able to receive unlimited knowledge which completely corresponds to the truth ….
Amen

Charity ….
B.D. 4706 from August 7th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
In christian neighbourly love lies the foundation of peace and harmony, both on a large and small scale, i.e., nations and states will live in peace with each other, just as people will live together in harmony among themselves if their behaviour is based on the principle of neighbourly love, if they only want to do good to each other and strive to keep suffering and worry away from their fellow human beings. Then there will truly be peace on earth …. but how far away are people from this now ….? They offend each other and are full of ruthlessness, even though they don’t consciously want to harm people, yet there is no sign of love for each other, and that is why the great spiritual decline is so obvious, for without love the human being cannot strive spiritually either, without love there is no spiritual progress …. people do not reach their aim …. Only a few still accept the law of love which, however, has to be fulfilled or there can be no peace. And so every individual should seriously ask himself how he behaves towards this law …. he should ask himself whether he is doing everything in his power to bring joy, to alleviate suffering and to control the hardship which becomes obvious to him and requires his help. Man should think more of others than of himself, then he will also see what is lacking and be able to remedy it. Man should avoid everything that offends his fellow human beings, but do everything that makes them happy. Seriously ask yourselves whether you could justify yourselves if such a justification were demanded of you. And you will discover many omissions which are then a sin if the fellow human being suffers or suffers as a result, be it mentally or physically. Help where you can and protect your neighbour from suffering where you can …. Never let self-love prevail, never let your neighbour go hungry if you yourselves are doing well …. This is to be understood literally and also figuratively, for even a kind word, a good look, a helpful action can refresh and strengthen the fellow human being, therefore don’t let it be lacking. Practice neighbourly love …. and your earthly life will be harmonious, there will be peace and harmony in and around you, and if all people lived according to this commandment it would truly be paradise on earth. But how does it look in the world? All bad qualities, greed, hatred, envy, discord, insincerity and self-love dominate people, they are not friends but enemies, they do not respect each other but seek to exalt themselves, they do not lay a soothing hand on wounds but inflict new ones, and thus evil becomes ever greater and plunges people into ruin. Love has grown cold among people, and that is the end …. For where love no longer exists all substance hardens, where the heart can no longer feel love all knowledge is lost, thus all life will also die, for only love alone is life …. Hence you humans can certainly still live physically but spiritually you are dead if you are devoid of all love. Again and again love will be preached to you, don’t let these admonitions fall on your ears but know that they are the last calls from above; know that there is not much time left until the end but that you will be judged according to your love. Therefore take care that you do not need to fear the judgement …. Practice neighbourly love and thereby acquire eternal peace ….
Amen

Traditional faith …. Conventional faith …. Misguided teachings ….
B.D. 4707 from August 7th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
It is extremely hard work to change people’s traditional faith, the conventional faith, into a living faith, because they do not yet understand the word ‘faith’. They have adopted the word traditionally without being aware of its actual deep meaning and rather adhere to external practices and customs than to the core which constitutes the teaching of Christ.
They may have indeed listened with their ears to everything in relation to Jesus Christ as the divine Redeemer and describe this knowledge with the word ‘faith’. They only mean by this that they do not object to this knowledge or reject it as improbable. But they have neither explored the details of the Christian teaching nor are they at all aware of the significance of the act of Salvation. Hence they refrain from forming an opinion of what they are being taught which, however, is necessary in order to gain a living faith, i.e. to gain an inner conviction for every religious doctrine.
But only living faith can lead to eternal life, because all kinds of conventional faith are unsuitable to transform the soul.
And everything is a conventional faith as long as the person is not overcome by a deep desire for pure truth. Because only this desire prompts him to think about the imparted spiritual knowledge which is then followed by inner conviction or by conscious rejection if he cannot find inner conviction, or living faith.
And this elimination of wrong from right has to take place. Error has to be separated from truth otherwise people cannot find a correct concept of God, Whose essence is of such perfection that everything which testifies of Him also has to be perfect. However, false teachings will never reveal God’s essence but forever mirror a distorted image of God. But as long as the people wanting to instruct other people …. (08.08.1949) do not know the difference between conventional and living faith themselves, as long as these people have not gained the knowledge of truth themselves, precisely by forming an opinion with divine help thus having achieved a living faith, they will not convey the right faith to the learners either. This explains why countless people may well call themselves religious yet are far removed from it …. why error is therefore widespread and truth is only of little interest, why human beings accept much as truth which, with sincere will, they certainly could recognise as error. But they keep to tradition, for generations they thoughtlessly and unreservedly continue to adopt the same distorted teachings which initially were given by Jesus Christ in their purest form to the people and which only became clouded and distorted due to a lack of own thinking and thus deviations were ignored. Moreover, people became duty bound to accept religious dogma unconditionally, so that they did not feel responsible and thus their faith became increasingly inflexible and a dead faith cannot result in spiritual progress.
People’s attention should be drawn to their lifeless state, and thus living faith has to be preached all the time. They have to be advised that they may not call themselves believers as long as they only accept traditionally adopted spiritual knowledge without having made it their own, thus being able to uphold it with innermost conviction and not just with their mouth, and that this also necessitates intellectual contemplation. Then the veil will fall from their eyes, then heart and intellect will occasionally refuse to accept something, and only then will the truth be made known, which will then make the person joyful and turn him into a diligent supporter. And then the human being will be able to believe actively and have freed himself from formality, only then can his soul mature and only then can he be a member of the church which Jesus Christ founded on earth ….

Irresponsible experiments are the reason for the destruction of earth ….
B.D. 4708 from August 9th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The divine world order cannot be revoked; nevertheless human determination can challenge it, but only to its own disadvantage. Laws exist which human intellect will never be able to ascertain, for they not only affect the natural properties of earth but also form the basis of continued existence for other creations, hence they are impenetrable for the human intellect and have to be accepted, that is, they must not be ignored if opposite laws are not to come into effect, which were likewise given by divine wisdom, thus intending to maintain the eternal order.
A certain degree of creativity is indeed granted to humanity, and research in all directions can likewise be embarked upon. However, as long as the human being is not yet in full possession of spiritual strength he is subject to limitations both in regards to knowledge as well as to the exploitation of earth forces which are always active and must be utilized in definite conformity to law, in some sort of orderliness. If this lawfulness is ignored, if these forces are activated contrary to law, then the effect will be disastrous and total destruction of all matter will be the inevitable result, which human will is unable to bring to a halt. For then other creations, other celestial bodies which interact with these forces, will exert an influence and thus will be affected. People will no longer be able to observe these effects as they, without exception, will fall victim to such destructions, apart from those already in possession of spiritual strength who will be taken away from the endangered vicinity of earth by God’s will.
Such a process will take place and thus signify the end of this earth. Human will is arrogantly resolved in wanting to investigate forces and through experiments thus will activate forces with said enormously destructive effect …. For the motives for these investigations, which will result in this unimaginable outcome, are not honourable. Hence God will deny them the blessing which rests on activities that aim to benefit fellow human beings. Besides, they will be contravening divine natural law in so far as that they conduct experiments at the risk of human life, that they use human beings as test objects who have to sacrifice their lives. This is a sin against divine order, against the love for God and other people, as well as a sin against humanity which thereby is doomed for destruction. For the knowledge of those conducting such tests is far from sufficient and thus they will be undertaken prematurely which, however, is known beyond doubt. And such irresponsible experiments cannot be tolerated by God, hence they will have repercussions for the experimenters, who will achieve nothing else but total destruction of all material creations on earth, thus a shattering of matter which, however, in the spiritual sense means a disintegration of every form and a release of the spiritual substances bound therein. Thus people will trigger this final act of destruction on earth, and the whole of humanity will be destroyed due to the fact that craving for fame, excessive need for recognition and greed for material possessions are turning people into reckless speculators, who nevertheless are not ignorant of the fact that they will endanger their fellow human beings and still conduct their tests. Previously gained experiences will already have provided them with enough cautions and warnings in order to refrain from them, consequently their action is a sacrilege which God will not leave unpunished ….

Love power of the soul …. perfection ….
B.D. 4709 from August 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The strength for the soul’s development is love …. Where love is present in the heart the soul will also turn to spiritual things, it will lead an inner life and not only pay attention to the world, although the human being lives in the midst of the world and has to meet its requirements because the task he is given demands it. Nevertheless, the human being can shape his inner life spiritually, it does not need to be affected by the world’s gears. His inner life can be led completely separately and therefore also a soul can mature whose body cannot separate itself from the world, indeed, its merit will be far greater, for the temptations are also greater which want to hold such a soul back from spiritual striving. Yet love is its strength …. A person who is willing to love unfolds within himself what unites him with God, and then God’s love draws him upwards, for love is the bond which is unbreakable and intimately ties the soul to God. A soul that is able to love will not get lost, for through love it detaches itself from God’s adversary, whose emblem is unkindness and who loses all power over a loving soul. Love is the good, the soft in the human being, which drives him to always act, think and speak well and to help his fellow human being in every adversity. Love will therefore ennoble the human being, it will turn all bad instincts into the opposite, it will shape the human being into the divine image as which he was created in the beginning, because love let him come into being and only good can emerge from love. Such a being created by God’s love could only be changed by unkindness, and this was the work of God’s adversary who, however, did not have a determining effect on the being but only tempted it …. And the being succumbed to the temptation of its own free will …. The love in it grew cold and thereby it fell into the abyss …. it became imperfect and had to accept all the consequences of imperfection. And thus it also became powerless, because love is the only strength which enables the being to create and work. The being is in a struggling state as long as it is without love …. As soon as love fills its being again, it is also filled with strength and succeeds in everything it wants …. And thus it will also reach the former height again, the state of light and strength and in proximity to God, if only it develops love within itself, because then it will not lack strength, because then it will unite with God again, Who is love and the eternal source of strength Himself, from Whom a perfect being is now constantly fed. Only love makes the being happy, for only love leads to God ….
Amen

Spiritual exchange of thoughts ….
B.D. 4710 from August 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You can gain incredibly much in an exchange of thoughts with spiritually inclined people if you desire the truth, for then knowledgeable spiritual beings will influence your thoughts by participating in your conversation and will interact informatively. Admittedly, you will then look upon your thoughts as gained by your own intellect when they are, in fact, transmissions from the spiritual realm, thought currents, which you received and subsequently enter and are retained by your consciousness. Spiritual exchanges of thought will always concur if both partners strive spiritually and possess the same degree of maturity, or it will be a matter of questions and instructions, if their degree of maturity differs. Yet such conversations are always beneficial, both for the knowledgeable as well as the uninformed person, because they always result in new realisations, precisely because of the participation of the beings of light which, in most instances, also initiated such conversations, for they bring their protégés together on earth, the souls which are entrusted to them, so that such conversations can take place and be influenced by them. However, if the debaters oppose each other, then controversial issues will often ensue whose solution is also the light beings’ work which can occasionally result in defeating the opposing partner. Moreover, discussions of a spiritual nature stimulate people´s thinking and this is of greatest benefit for the soul, for then it will form its own opinion of every spiritual question and only then can and will it debate with intense interest. But anyone who avoids every spiritual conversation also prevents the beings of light from carrying out their caring work, he remains inaccessible to every spiritual instruction and will never broaden his knowledge, because he does not communicate and therefore can neither accept what is right nor relinquish what is wrong ….

Overcoming matter ….
B.D. 4711 from August 12th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Never forget that you are indeed children of the world but that you have to overcome the world in order to become aspirants of My kingdom, which is not of this world, and that this is your actual purpose of earthly life. Do not regard your earthly life as an end in itself but know that it is only a means to an end and that the end is only to detach yourselves from matter, thus to completely overcome the world. You have indeed been placed into this world and surrounded by matter which you can also make use of, yet only ever to such an extent that you, as well as the matter you use, are of service, that its actual purpose is fulfilled and at the same time you are able to serve your fellow human beings again through the use of matter and are thus active in neighbourly love. You shall overcome matter, but matter will overcome you …. it will try to captivate your thoughts, your souls, for this is the world’s seduction, that everything worldly appears to you so appealingly that your desire for it is aroused and this desire can suffocate every other feeling if it is not fought against. You stand in the middle of the world, behind you lies the material world, i.e., all spiritual bound in matter still surrounds you, yet in front of you lies the spiritual kingdom, and both kingdoms seek to exert their influence on you. But your senses are still imprisoned by the material world and therefore cannot find the entrance into the spiritual kingdom. Therefore you have to fight against your desire, you have to fight against all covetousness which aims at earthly-material things. And in order to be able to do so more easily, the worthlessness of everything that surrounds you is presented to you; I constantly let you recognize the impermanence and nothingness of material things so that you detach your hearts from them, so that you become free from matter and can enter the spiritual kingdom unhindered by directing your thoughts to where there is no more passing away, where everything you acquire in spiritual possessions is permanent and imperishable.
You are indeed in the midst of the world but at the same time you can also occupy the spiritual kingdom if your soul desires it and only grants the body the right to dwell in matter, yet completely untouched by it, because the soul, the human being’s thinking, feeling and wanting dwells in spiritual spheres and has found the true kingdom there where it feels at ease and will never again exchange it for the material world. Overcome matter, imagine its worthlessness and turn away from the goods of this world …. Seek to gain My kingdom and you will possess far more than the earthly world can ever offer you. For even if you are children of the world, the spiritual kingdom is open to you and accepts everyone who leaves the world behind in his desires and only strives upwards, who wants to enter My kingdom because he has recognized that the earthly world is My adversary’s share and whom I therefore help to reach the aim ….
Amen

Assisting in the work of redemption …. spreading the gospel ….
B.D. 4712 from August 13th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You can reach a high level of spiritual development by actively helping in Christ’s work of redemption. His mission on earth was to spread the teaching of love, and as soon as you are active in the same way, as soon as you convey the divine teaching of love to your fellow human beings, as soon as you draw their attention to the effects of a right or wrong way of life, as soon as you do the same as Jesus Christ did …. bring the gospel to people …. you participate in Christ’s work of redemption, and you help erring or struggling souls out of darkness into light. You don’t know how indescribably important it is to point people to the divine teaching of love and therefore you, who receive the word of God directly from above, will be pointed to it again and again, for you have many opportunities to preach love, and you should make use of every opportunity, for only through love will the human being fulfil his earthly task, and through love can he redeem himself. Jesus Christ, in His greater than great love, gave a living example of what He advocated and what He adviced through His teaching …. He died the most bitter death on the cross out of love for people …. You should now pass on Christ’s teaching of love, you should also be a living example, you should live a life of unselfish and active neighbourly love yourselves and thereby also awaken love in your fellow human beings, you should follow Him, Who truly showed you the greatest love …. Who bore your guilt of sin and made atonement for it to God. He gave His disciples the commission to carry the gospel into the world …. “Go ye, and teach all nations ….” He asked nothing further of them, just as He now makes the same demand of you …. To spread His word. And His word teaches love. Therefore, anyone who encourages his fellow human beings to be active in love, who exemplifies a right life of love to them, who takes notice of God’s word himself, that is, who receives it from above or from His messengers and also passes on to his fellow human beings what he receives, is a disciple of Jesus, he is one of His apostles whom He sends out into the world to teach all nations. For people need His divine teaching because they are devoid of all love and must awaken love in their hearts as the most necessary thing for their salvation, otherwise they will be eternally lost. God only requires one thing of them, to practice love, and if this commandment is fulfilled the soul is saved from certain death. However, people take too little notice of this and therefore have to be reminded again and again of their actual purpose in life, to shape themselves into love. And this task is incumbent upon you, who are called by God to spread His teaching of love, and you will be true followers of Christ, you will be redemptively active on earth and also one day in the spiritual kingdom ….
Amen

World wisdom – spiritual knowledge ….
B.D. 4713 from August 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The all-encompassing worldly wisdom cannot replace the knowledge that can be called heavenly wisdom, that is, knowledge of what lies outside the world, but which cannot be proven either, precisely because it concerns truths lying outside the world. Anyone who is considered exceedingly wise in the world, on earth, can nevertheless be ignorant to the highest degree in matters concerning those regions, and his wisdom is gone at the moment of death, he has, so to speak, only participated in the exploration of a limited region, but over which the soul passes in its bodiless state, which is no longer worth fathoming for it, which it therefore leaves behind, no matter whether it has explored it completely or only partially. It now enters a kingdom where completely different explorations are of value, and its wealth or poverty now obviously comes to light and it determines the state of its new sphere of activity, which can be agonizing or also blissful. Anyone who has acquired spiritual knowledge on earth will be able to make use of it and thereby create a fate for himself which will make him happy, because he will be absorbed in the happiness of other souls which vegetate in complete spiritual poverty and are dependent on help. This spiritual knowledge is rarely striven for on earth because people do not yet recognize it as valuable and forget it above worldly knowledge. Worldly wisdom is not wisdom, for man only specializes in existing things, things which he can observe and, according to the acuteness of his intellect, also calculate and teach people about as established fact. He calls this ‘knowledge’, but it is only the knowledge of the divine order in which the whole of creation moves, and he procures this knowledge through intellectual research and brooding. As soon as his soul leaves the physical shell this knowledge is of no importance to it, it can do nothing with it in the kingdom of the spirits, where only that knowledge is of value which touches that spiritual kingdom; then the most minimal spiritual wealth, thus knowledge about the divine plan of salvation, about the creator’s relationship with His living creations, can be beneficially used by the soul, it will constantly increase the wealth. Then the intellect will no longer be decisive but the heart, i.e. the soul’s life of feeling, how far it penetrates spiritual knowledge. The area which is now accessible to its research is unlimited, it will therefore eternally bring new things and therefore also constantly make it happy, it will be a constant progress, an increase of spiritual knowledge and consequently also an ever more assiduous activity and a constantly increasing sphere of activity; whereas the worldly researcher is limited, if only by the recall from earthly life, which breaks off all research and makes it worthless for him. Worldly knowledge only serves the human being on earth but cannot be used in any way by the souls in the beyond for their activity. Worldly knowledge only concerns purely concrete things and leaves every spiritual question open. Nevertheless, worldly knowledge can also be of value to fellow human beings if spiritual striving is recognizable at the same time, then worldly knowledge will contribute towards the human being also seeking knowledge of areas which he cannot penetrate by virtue of his intellect …. if, for example, it is proven to him on the basis of worldly science that an offence is not possible after death and he then also intellectually recognizes another area which he then strives for and thus strives towards. Then worldly knowledge can be called the first stage which leads to spiritual knowledge, but it may also only be used as a stepping stone to spiritual knowledge, because this alone is decisive, because this alone is unlimited and therefore worth striving for and must be gained by everyone who wants to be admitted to happy activity in the spiritual kingdom ….
Amen

Reference to the end and the intervention of God ….
B.D. 4714 from August 15th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Great things will still be revealed to the world, yet the world doesn’t pay attention to it. Phenomena of the strangest kind could give people food for thought, yet they only hear, wonder and soon reject the thought; all admonitions on My part bounce off their worldly mind, everything spiritual is unreal and unprofitable to them, and therefore they don’t turn to it. But anyone who only looks around him and pays attention will also recognize the near end by the signs of the time, for I speak clearly to the people of this earth everywhere, I manifest Myself in many different ways, I give indications of the eternal divine everywhere, just as I also brand people’s sinfulness and let My displeasure become apparent. I speak softly and with gentle words, but I also speak with a loud voice in order to draw people’s attention to the end, in order to present to them the horrors of a sudden death and the power of the one Whom they don’t want to acknowledge and to Whom they are nevertheless at His mercy and cannot defy Him. Recognize all these signs as pointing to the near end …. And acquaint yourselves with a sudden end of your body’s life. Live as if tomorrow will be your last day and imagine your further life in the beyond, give yourselves an account as to whether your life corresponds to My will, whether and to what extent you fulfil My commandments which demand love for Me and your neighbour. The end will be ever more obviously pointed out to you, and what still lies ahead of you is only ever a means of guiding the human will which is still turned away from Me and therefore endangers your soul. Don’t let these means be in vain or ineffective, just pay attention to everything that contributes to the shaking of human thinking. And you will always recognize My hand if you are of good will, My will will be revealed to you, and as soon as you recognize Me everything that happens will be a blessing for you, even if it has a painful effect on you. I speak often and everywhere …. Pay attention to My voice, don’t overhear it because of the world, for the world will decay. But what remains is My share and you should try to gain it, try to be counted as My own who are still far away from Me, for I will stand by My own in every adversity of body and soul and give them strength to endure everything the end time will bring. For great things are in store for you where you will need much strength and profound faith in order to stand firm and remain faithful to Me until the end ….
Amen

Extraordinary gift of grace obliges to pass on ….
B.D. 4715 from August 16th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The grace of being spiritually instructed is not given to a person arbitrarily but always requires the will to use this spiritual instruction according to its purpose. Therefore the instructions, i.e. the knowledge gained through them, always have to be passed on so that fellow human beings will also benefit from what is offered to a person from above. Then grace will also become effective in the human being, then he will mature in his soul. Therefore, on the one hand the recipient of spiritual gifts is exceptionally gifted, yet he has an obligation which he absolutely has to fulfil, otherwise God’s grace will remain ineffective in him. And thus this knowledge received from God has to be advertized in all directions, it has to be spread, it has to be brought to all doors and offered, yet it remains up to the messengers whether they are joyfully received and listened to, for every effect of grace requires free will. But if the bearers of truth make an effort to pass on the divine word then many doors will open, many hearts will be willing and able to receive it, many will therefore also be allowed to participate in the gift of grace and the souls will mature. Anyone who wants to work actively for the kingdom of God will always find a field of work, and now he must also prove himself worthy of the undeserved gift of grace which has fallen to him …. he must speak everywhere and mention the divine activity, he must convey His word to all those who are willing to listen to God and yet are unable to hear Him directly. And the living water will refresh and refresh all who are hungry and thirsty …. And thus recognize your task for the first time; believe that it is important and significant and that you should therefore place this task before the earthly one; believe that you are guided and that everything meets and moves you as it is necessary for your spiritual work; believe that God is always close to you and guides your paths, that He Himself brings people together who should work together or mature in each other, and consider nothing as coincidence …. Everything is divine providence, determined since eternity, because it has been recognized as good since eternity and not otherwise. And no matter how unreal it may seem to you, the spiritual is the only real thing, whereas everything earthly-worldly is only an appearance which fades away if God wills it, which does not exhibit and cannot give birth to anything permanent if the spiritual light does not shine and have a life-awakening effect. Anyone who is destined to work for the spiritual kingdom will only ever lead to the aim, which is called the redemption of erring souls. Everything will happen in his life in such a way that his fellow human beings will be given the opportunity to gain insight into the truth and that they will be pointed to their earthly task …. to redeem themselves through love …. Whoever is active in this sense, that he helps his fellow human beings to salvation, will also receive His blessing as a right and diligent labourer in the vineyard of the lord now and one day in the spiritual kingdom ….
Amen
