Thought activity …. spiritual emanations ….
B.D. 4787 from November 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
A short hint, a slight doubt, is enough for the one thirsting for truth to pursue the truth, and he will never remain without success. His thoughts are picked up by the beings of light and an answer is radiated back, which the human being regards as his own thought material and pursues. This thought activity is the actual living in the human being, it is the activity which is also continued in the spiritual kingdom, it is the actual function of the soul which now moves through it either on earth or in the spiritual kingdom, depending on the aim to which it turns its function …. thus corresponding to the direction the human being gives to his thoughts. If the human being desires truth, then his thoughts circle far away from earth because he feels that truth is not to be sought on earth but outside of earth. Every doubt now settles in the heart and is now the object of his thinking …. If the human being’s thoughts are now turned towards earthly problems, the same process certainly takes place that the thought waves, which are spiritual emanations, approach the human being, yet they then emanate from spiritual forces which are very close to earth, thus they are still so connected to earth and matter that they want to communicate their thoughts, their will, to people. Now these thoughts are often subject to error because they are imperfect beings which stay close to earth and absolute truth cannot be expected from them, which is why earthly knowledge can again and again trigger doubts and give rise to constant research and mental activity. But if a person’s thoughts concern the knowledge of eternal truth, if they therefore wander into areas which are not connected to matter and the earthly kingdom, then those forces which are above matter will also intervene …. thus spiritual beings which have entered the kingdom of light, where every being is in fullest realization, thus what it communicates to the human being also corresponds to fullest truth. Then their emanations touch the human being’s heart, they are processed by the physical organs of intellect and felt by the human being as his own thought result. But a thinking person has to ask himself where the thought material comes from, because everything has to have an origin but the human being himself is not able to let something arise from nothing. Therefore a spiritual substance must be present which condenses, thus takes on some form …. And such a form is the thought, which is explained as originating from the human being himself. But it is spiritual strength which requires a source of strength, a source …. the source is God Himself, the bearer is the beings which have become perfection, which constantly draw strength from God and also radiate it for their own happiness. The radiation of thoughts is the actual activity of the beings of the kingdom of light, for it signifies the illumination of that which is lightless, thus devoid of all knowledge. The fact that the human being opens himself to these emanations through thought is unknown to him, yet he places himself under the influence of these spiritual forces, but through the direction of his thoughts and his will he determines himself which forces approach him; however, a digression of thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, thus the will to fathom knowledge which lies outside of earth, is always of greatest blessing, for it earns him the support of beings which stand in truth and can lead him to the light ….

Gaining knowledge of right faith through love ….
B.D. 4788 from November 26th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The knowledge of which faith is the right one is very easy to gain as soon as the human being is in love, for through love the human being will become wise, thus he will receive knowledge from God ….
(27.11.1949) Then he will no longer need to search but be convinced of the teachings which correspond to truth and thereby also know that it is the truth. And thus God has made it easy for people to acquire the right knowledge insofar as He only requires love from them. For every person can awaken love in himself if only he wants to. The fact that so many different faiths could arise amongst people is only proof that people are devoid of love. Where there is no love people’s thinking becomes confused, they drift away from what is right and true and they make up their own religious doctrines which they eagerly advocate and try to win over followers. Where love is, there is also truth; the thinking of people who are lovingly active will always agree, and no special external instruction is required for confirmation, for the conviction to possess the pure truth lives in the heart of everyone who lives in love. Where truth is, God is also present, and He instructs people through the voice of the spirit. The different schools of thought must of necessity make people doubt and investigate because they all represent something different and, since there is only one truth, must now be tested for their truthfulness. And God has given every single human being the gift to be able to do this if he wants to …. otherwise it would be a dubious act of God’s love and justice for Him to place every individual person into a different denomination or school of thought through birth or upbringing …. from which it can be seen that what is right and true has to be born within the human being, that nothing brought in from outside can help or hinder a person’s inner right attitude towards God, towards love and thus also towards truth. For God, love and truth are one …. Truth and love cannot be where God is disregarded, i.e. not acknowledged. God and truth cannot be where love is eliminated, and God and love will also guarantee fullest truth, thus right thinking, at all times. Therefore, the right knowledge can also be gained in every school of thought or faith as soon as love precedes everything and the human being’s spirit becomes enlightened through the practice of it, so that he now recognizes what is truth and what is error, which teachings of a school of thought correspond to truth and what is additional human work and therefore erroneous before God. Without love the human being lacks wisdom, for this is the effect of love, which is why all people who do not comply with the law of love have to live in error and wrong thinking and are therefore far removed from God, Who is love and truth Himself ….
Amen

Spiritual mission requires willpower …. love ….
B.D. 4789 from November 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Great strength of will will be required from people who want to work for Me and My kingdom on earth. It is not a game, not an easy activity which you have entrusted to Me …. it is not difficult work as such, yet since it requires all your will you have to use force, you have to wage a constant battle against yourselves, you constantly have to submit your will to Me, you constantly have to set the world back if it still captures your will. You will not be determined in any way, i.e. forced to think, want and act, freely out of yourselves you will have to work for Me and My kingdom for the redemption of erring souls. Yet you will always experience a strengthening of your will if only you ask Me for help …. for the sake of Jesus Christ, Who acquired a stronger will for you through His death on the cross. The temptations approach you ever more strongly, yet you should prove your will even in hours of adversity and always put spiritual work first. It is an important mission which you should fulfil, and not everyone is capable of carrying it out. But as soon as a person can muster a strong will, he will easily accomplish the work. The will alone is decisive, you shall render your services to Me of your own accord, of your own accord you shall help Me where it is necessary to alleviate people’s spiritual hardship. I do not appoint you to do this, your heart should long for Me and for My love and therefore constantly strive towards Me, constantly be active for Me. It requires a strong will, but one day I will reward it, as I have promised. But you should not serve Me for the sake of reward either …. Love for Me and the unredeemed shall drive your activity, and if you let the love in your heart ignite into highest fervour then your will will no longer betray any weakness, then you will be active with increased eagerness, because love is the strength which drives you, because love also strengthens the will, because if you work with love you live as followers of Jesus and thus, like Him, have a strong will at your disposal which accomplishes everything it strives for. Strengthen your will through loving activity, and if you nevertheless feel weak then pray and pray directly for strength through heartfelt supplication and intimate dialogue with Me. Then you will truly not fail in your service for Me, then you will work for Me eagerly and joyfully for the blessing of all those whom you take care of in their spiritual need ….
Amen

I live and you shall live too …. light and power ….
B.D. 4790 from November 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
I live and you shall also live …. I am constantly active, and thus you should also utilize your strength, which you draw from Me unmeasured if you are perfect. Life alone is a state of bliss, life is consciousness of freedom and possession of strength, life alone is desirable, for it includes everything that makes the being happy. I will give you eternal life …. Do you now understand what promise these words contain? That I want to give you the best you can possess? Do you now understand that I wanted to save you from the night of death through My death on the cross? That I wanted to redeem you from a state which completely contradicts the state of life? The night of death is the most dreadful thing that can be granted to a being from Me, it is a state of weakness and lack of strength, it is opposed to My fundamental nature, for everything that is My share, everything that is a sign of My divinity, is lost to the being if it remains in the night of death. It lacks light and strength, freedom and bliss, it is a tormented, blind, powerless being which is condemned to eternal darkness if it does not strive of its own free will for the life I can and will give it if it only strives towards Me. I live and you shall also live, for you are My children, My creations, which carry a part of Me within themselves and which emerged from My strength of love which gives birth to life and is creatively active again and again. And thus I do not want to leave what has emerged from the light in darkness, which it has certainly chosen itself but which does not bring it a blissful state. I want My creations to attain eternal life, that they assimilate themselves to Me as the inexhaustible life and are active in creating and shaping like Me, Who is constantly creatively active, because life never means a state of rest but constant utilization of the strength of which I am the original source. And thus I also want to feed My living creations from My source, I want to provide them with strength so that they, too, will be active according to My will, so that they will live just as I live, and so that they will find their bliss in constant activity, as I have promised them ….
Amen

Sin of omission …. repentance …. change in the afterlife ….
B.D. 4791 from December 3rd 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You will have to answer for every sin of omission, for every unused opportunity, yet it will not be held against you but you will be reminded of it and now realize for yourselves what you have neglected and what advantage you have forfeited as a result, and your remorse will be great. For this is the punishment for your wrongdoing which you will never be able to forget and which therefore causes you immense self-torture which can certainly be regarded as a just punishment because you ignored God’s grace on earth and cannot atone for this wrongdoing in any other way than through profound remorse for your harshness and your disobedience of God’s commandments. And the torment will only become less if you try to act in the kingdom of the beyond contrary to your unkind life on earth …. if you then practice love of your own accord for the souls who have to suffer like you and who are helped by every deed of love. Then you will also feel the strength of love, then you will try to right your wrongs. But this requires a small spark of light which gives you the recognition of your self-inflicted situation, for as long as you don’t possess this glimmer of realization you are not yet aware of the great failure on earth either, for then you are only filled with selfish love which only wants to improve your own fate but not that of the other suffering souls. And this state can last a long time, depending on the tenacity of will and the degree of self-love. Love first has to be awakened, which can certainly happen through the prayer of a person on earth who lovingly remembers that soul. Then the soul will be transferred into surroundings inhabited by unspeakably many suffering souls, so that the former shall get to know mercy through suffering …. For the suffering is far greater than its own suffering. And now the soul must prove itself. If it only has a helpful thought then strength flows to it to carry it out, and now a small light is kindled which can no longer go out, for it feels a happiness within itself and begins to think about the activity in love and is supported in it by beings of light which, in a disguise beneficial to the soul, instruct it and stimulate it to loving activity. And as soon as this state has occurred it recognizes what it has missed …. Its remorse is great but its will to help also increases, and the more it practices love, for which it is given ample opportunity, the weaker the feeling of remorse in its heart becomes, because it is now so full of gratitude towards God Who still gives it the opportunity to ascend, although it knows that it will never be able to make up for what it missed on earth, that it will never be able to reach the highest degree of beatitude. But it is blessed to be able to work in love and to be relieved of its misery ….
Amen

Development process …. free or bound will ….
B.D. 4792 from December 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Every passage through matter is to be regarded as a process of development for the spiritual being which is completely opposed to Me, which certainly results in a weakening of the resistance against Me and is therefore the only means to slowly bring back to Me that which has completely fallen away from Me. This process of development can repeat itself many times, depending on the spiritual being’s attitude in the stage of free will as a human being. But this stage must be granted to the spiritual being after the endless times of bound will, otherwise the ascent development would not have resulted in a state of perfection but the spiritual being would remain directed, i.e. it would become as it is through My will but not through its own will. Free will, however, is a sign of perfection, free will is absolutely necessary if God-likeness, i.e. alignment with Me, is to be achieved. The stage as a human being is usually also evaluated to such an extent that the being either remains in the same state or increases its state of maturity during earthly life. And then the possibility is given to continue the ascent development in the spiritual kingdom if the former does not sink back into the abyss through stubborn resistance, thus will turned away from Me. But the stage of free will can also easily result in a regression, the being as a human being can carry out the apostasy from Me again, it can render all stages of its development in the state of compulsion pointless, thus sink back into the state which necessitates renewed banishment into the solid form in order not to be mercilessly damned by Me forever. But My love does not allow this eternal condemnation, and therefore My will of creation is unlimited, because again and again I create new possibilities to help this spiritual being, which has sunk into the abyss, so that it will one day be able to redeem itself of its own free will. Coercion is never exerted on the spiritual beings from My side, and even the state of bound will is not a state of coercion insofar as the being can only change into a new form when its resistance to Me subsides, which it admittedly does not do consciously since it is devoid of all knowledge. Nevertheless, the transformation of every will is known to Me. The spiritual does not recognize itself, but I recognize it. The testimony of the spiritual into solid matter is indeed an act of force on My part but at the same time an act of atonement for the sins of these beings embodied as human beings, which became true devils due to their complete distance from Me, due to hatred and unkindness, which is why they deserve a just punishment and this act of punishment is at the same time an act of mercy to lead them out of deepest darkness into light again. Such a process of development can turn a perfected devil into a true child of God, but just as the devil in the being can break through again in its human stage and therefore its fate is a repeated agonizing banishment into matter until it nevertheless feels touched by My profound love one day and then pushes towards Me in a state of free will in order to never fall again, in order to attain ever higher perfection, because it is now indissolubly united with Me ….

Decay of earthly goods …. giant steps towards the end ….
B.D. 4793 from December 6th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The end is approaching with giant strides, and if you knew how close it is you would spend all your time for your souls, if you even believe in the soul’s life after death. Yet you still turn your eyes to the world, that is, everything earthly still moves your mind too much and you take care of your physical well-being where the soul needs your care much more. You don’t really believe in the end yet, and that is what makes your spiritual striving weaken. You still doubt the truth of My word, and therefore you are not quite suitable for spreading My word as long as the world still holds you captive. But the world’s goods are not permanent …. Let these words pass through your mind, for you will very soon experience the confirmation, you will very soon see earthly possessions deteriorate and realize how futile the world is, and thus the worldly people also enjoy their possessions. But you, who want to be My servants, detach yourselves in your heart from everything that belongs to the world. Look upwards more and more often and desire spiritual goods, for they alone are enduring, and anyone who possesses spiritual goods need not fear earthly decay. His wealth cannot be taken from him even though he loses everything on earth. Therefore, try to increase your spiritual wealth, don’t worry about earthly needs, start the day with thoughts of Me and also end it like that, and often have a conversation with Me, Who can distribute spiritual wealth to you and also sustain your earthly life. How many worries do you cause yourselves unnecessarily which I can and will remedy if only you believe in My love. I will give you the evidence of what I announce to you and then you will remember the unused opportunities you let pass by because of your weak faith. Only take care of your souls and thereby make yourselves My charges whose bodily worries I take over. Don’t pay attention to the world, for it keeps you from spiritual striving, it deprives you of the strength for spiritual work, it withdraws you who have already partly overcome matter …. Don’t let yourselves be taken captive by the world, for it will soon have ceased to exist for the people of the present time, and what will come after that is determined by you yourselves through your will. Direct your senses spiritually, lift your eyes to Me and prepare yourselves for a great experience which will come as surely as one day follows another …. Soon, very soon, the end will come, but before that I will still show Myself to those who want to believe, and I will speak to everyone in serious language so that they will reflect and prepare themselves for the end which will follow very soon ….
Amen

Leaders' and teachers' way of life is decisive for truth ….
B.D. 4794 from December 8th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
It is of utmost importance for you humans to be informed of the truth and that you therefore join a school of thought which upholds the truth, whose leaders and teachers are educated by God and thus enable the working of the spirit within themselves. And by the way of life of those who claim to be the representatives of the truth from God you will always be able to recognise the degree of truth, and thus you will at all times know how much value can be ascribed to their teachings. Therefore you should first pay attention to the attitude the leaders and teachers of a school of thought have towards the divine commandments, towards the commandment of love for God and their neighbour. Don’t let their speeches alone deceive you, whether they put into practise what they teach is the only crucial factor and places people into the service of God. For a way of life according to God’s will makes the human being an aspirant for the spiritual kingdom and therefore he will think correctly, for a person who fulfils God’s commandments recognises the truth and his power of judgment is considerably enhanced through the enlightenment of his spirit, which becomes effective as a result of his loving activity. A person whose way of life corresponds to God’s will can always be believed, and if he then endorses a specific school of thought he will also work for God and His kingdom, because God will never let a person become guilty of a lie if he strives towards Him and wants to advocate the truth.
The human being’s will always has priority, and accordingly God will take care of him or He will turn away from him. The right will, however, is full of humility and obedience towards God; hence he will never try to stand out, that is, he will not want to achieve earthly advantages or honour and fame, no reputation or high office, he will only quietly and modestly serve God and for the sake of truth endorse the truth because he feels that only truth leads to God and due to his love for his fellow human beings he would like to lead them to God as well. The teachers themselves have to be educated by God …. Yet only love will gain them this extraordinary privilege, and therefore a person has to have love if his spiritual knowledge is to be acknowledged as truth, as directly received knowledge from God. Consequently, where you humans cannot detect love in a servant of God you should also reject his spiritual information, for it is not from above, it is Satan’s work of deception who, under cover of piety, tries to spread error and will always find good ground where love is missing. Test it and appeal to God for help to make the right judgment, yet do not accept without scrutiny if you don’t have the guarantee that the Word of God is imparted to you directly from above. Test all things you are offered, by appealing to God, and keep what is good …. This is God’s will so that His spirit shall become active in you ….
Amen

Recognition in earthly life or after entrance into the hereafter ….
B.D. 4795 from December 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Progressive knowledge is the success of a way of life according to My will. Yet a person’s state of knowledge need not always be noticeable, yet the soul has the wealth of knowledge within itself which it only becomes aware of after the human being’s passing away, so that it can therefore enter the kingdom of light with a high degree of knowledge, even though it was inexperienced as a human being on earth. But then the human being did not need this knowledge because he also endeavoured to live a life pleasing to God without it and his life of love therefore earned him a rich treasure with which the soul can work in the spiritual kingdom and is blissfully happy. However, people who search for truth, who want to enrich their knowledge and are unconsciously or as a result of My revealed will lovingly active, will receive knowledge which will change their initial ignorance, they will constantly increase in knowledge until everything that moves them spiritually is clear and understandable to them. But they can already work on earth with their knowledge, they can give light, they can pass on their knowledge and bring brightness where there is still deepest darkness. They can be guides for their fellow human beings and will have reached a high degree of light by the time they enter the beyond which will enable them to carry out a delightful activity and help the erring souls in the beyond in their adversity. For ignorance is a state of distress, just as darkness is always a regrettable state for a being which originally stood in the light. Ignorance is the result of the apostasy from Me, because the spiritual being withdrew from My flow of love due to its distance from Me and this meant complete spiritual darkness, which the being experiences as torment in the spiritual kingdom. On earth it can easily put itself into a state of light, because active love activity results in a supply of brightest light, yet this requires free will, which usually fails because the being is still too much in self-love and thereby renders the strength from God ineffective, which expresses itself in brightness of spirit, thus in a state of realisation. Love is always indispensable for the human being to attain knowledge, love always has to be awakened in the human being before he becomes knowledgeable, and love will always earn him a degree of light, even though he will not be aware of it himself in earthly life. However, the realization comes to him in a flash when he enters the spiritual kingdom, where there is then no more error for him because he immediately recognizes every error and detests it. For light is bliss and darkness is torment. But darkness can be broken through, and even many beings of darkness can change if they follow a ray of light and likewise turn their will towards the working of love, which they always have the opportunity to do, as on earth, so also in the spiritual kingdom ….

Right child relationship with God …. fulfilment of requests ….
B.D. 4796 from December 10th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Whatever you ask for with firm faith will be given to you if it does not harm your soul, and since you may receive My word as often as you want I will always express Myself and speak to you through the voice of the spirit. I will always advice you what you should do and what you should refrain from doing, I will always instruct you and impart profound knowledge to you, and therefore you will always be welcome to Me if you come to Me as a pupil or if you, as children, ask the father for clarification. I want to be a just father to you, Who indeed does not tolerate injustice if you carry it out but always lets you recognize the injustice. You may always come to Me in trust, because I understand everything and also forgive everything if you come to the father like children and appeal for My love, which is expressed in the word. Anyone who desires My word belongs to Me, and anyone who belongs to Me will not make a wrong request to Me which would make him doubt My love. I hear him who believes in Me and reveal Myself to him through My word. This is why an intimate connection with Me, once it has taken place, can never be broken off unless he allows himself to be captured by the world and turns his back on Me and the spiritual kingdom, that is, his will strives away from Me and towards the world. Then I will cover Myself, then no call will reach My ear either, then My adversary will have won him, yet through the human being’s own fault. But anyone who does not pay attention to the world, who only ever desires Me, is no longer offered anything by the world and My word is the most important thing to him, My voice fully compensates him for what he gives up in the world. For through My word I reveal Myself and give the human being the evidence of My nearness, My presence and My love. Love, however, grants everything, it understands and forgives everything, it only wants reciprocated love in order to be able to make all who give Me their love happy without measure ….

Ruthless action against heresies ….
B.D. 4797 from December 11th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You certainly have the right to oppose spiritual knowledge which contradicts your knowledge if you feel impelled to stand up for the truth. But you, who hear My word yourselves or receive it indirectly from Me through My servants on earth, have the proof of this: lies and error are the greatest evils, for they poison the human being’s soul, it is, as it were, enclosed by a cover which does not allow any rays of light to pass through, and if this cover is not forcibly pulled away the soul will sink into darkness. Such an act of violence is the ruthless action against false teachings, the uncovering and branding of these by a bearer of truth, who is thus only a tool through which I Myself come to the soul’s aid. It is not right to silently tolerate an error where it is recognized and the truth can be opposed to it. Understandably, however, the knowledge which is opposed to the error must have flowed from the right source …. thus the eternal truth itself must be the original source of what is called truth, then divine wisdom will also include the power of persuasion within itself. Then a bearer of truth must succeed in suppressing error, as long as the one being taught is of good will. It is urgently necessary that fellow human beings are guided into right thinking, because every hour on earth is lost for the soul which it spends in wrong thinking. For brightness of spirit is a sign of the human being’s redemption which is taking place ….
(13.12.1949) Brightness of spirit means the influx of strength from Me, thus the pouring out of My spirit upon a person who is worthy of it. Thus he must already have detached himself from My adversary, he must have entered the path which leads to Me. Then his thinking will be right, then he will recognize error, then he will ascend, and liberation from form is the aim he has reached. That is why error must first be recognized and banished, truth must be consciously requested as My share and opposed to error by bearers of truth. And this is your task, which is why you need never show consideration for a representative of erroneous teachings but must relentlessly uncover what does not agree with the eternal truth from Me. You should and can always go against error and advocate the truth, only you must be enlightened by My spirit yourselves, you must have received the truth from Me Myself so that you can advocate what you teach with conviction. Anyone who convincingly stands up for his opinion will always be victorious in a battle of words, for My word, which he now makes the content of his teaching, speaks for itself and will never fail to make an impression. And thus I admonish you again and again to wage battle against teachings which obviously contradict My word conveyed from above. For the truth has to be spread if people are to find the right path to Me, because only the truth leads to Me, whereas error eliminates Me, Who am the eternal truth Myself ….
Amen

Disciples of the end time …. perk as reward for faith ….
B.D. 4798 from December 14th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
You, My disciples of the last days, you truly only have faith without any evidence that I once walked on earth in order to exemplify to people the path they should take in order to become blessed. You must now let this faith in Me become so alive that My spirit can work in you, which I announced to you with the words: “I will send you the comforter” and “I will remain with you until the end of the world”. What cannot be proven to you will nevertheless convince you as the only truth, because the spirit within you makes it known to you. And thus you can feel like My disciples, like apostles, like My first disciples who had Me Myself around them as obvious evidence and for whom it was therefore far easier to believe what I taught them. But you shall experience My return, you shall experience the crowning of your faith, you shall visibly experience Me at the end precisely because you believe and establish such a close bond with Me through this faith that I can and will reward it …. through My visible presence and your being brought home into the kingdom of peace. This is such an immense privilege on earth that you have to earn it, that you have to struggle and provide Me with the evidence that you believe in Me and My act of salvation. How often will the bulwark of faith still be shaken in the last days, then you must remain steadfast and by no means let yourselves be influenced by people’s speeches. And this strong faith has to come from yourselves, for every one of you humans can request My support, and if he prays to Me in spirit and in truth he will truly receive what he asks for. And thus you should ask for strong faith, and the feeling of My presence will also let you become profoundly faithful, even though you otherwise have no evidence of Me and My working on earth. But if I wanted to exert My influence by giving you evidence, your merit of faith would be weak and a favour, such as the extraordinary return in the clouds, would be a compulsion of faith which I, however, will never use because you shall become perfect. And thus you must struggle for strong faith and not allow yourselves to be distracted by any doubts. You live in truth and will also reach the aim, for you will be looked after by beings of light which constantly surround you and also order your thoughts, so that you can provide your service as My true disciples on earth for the blessing of fellow human beings who are in danger of falling away from Me. You will complete the mission of My first apostles …. spread My teaching in the last days before the end. You will also be able to do so because I am constantly present to you and also give you the grace to recognize Me and My working …. And thus you will need no further evidence than only My working of the spirit, which I pour out on all those who want to serve Me and believe in Me ….
Amen

Calling the name of Jesus …. (word notebook Mahlberg)
B.D. 4799 from December 16th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The mystery of divine revelations is only a mystery as long as people are not yet clear about the outpouring of the spirit. And as long as this is the case they will also doubt, reject, regard genuine things as false and also listen to false prophets again, because people are more addicted to finding out about something unusual, something hidden from them, than they are to the deep desire for truth and the love for God as the original source of truth. Divine revelations originate from this primal source, because the eternal deity expresses Itself to people so that they can learn to recognize It and love It. So for the first time it cannot be denied that God reveals Himself. Whoever wants to hear Him must come close to Him, otherwise God will not reveal Himself to him. And thus the first condition is a strong faith that God is present to man …. But God’s presence can only be accepted if the human being draws closer to God through love, thus if he attracts God, as the eternal love, through his conformity to Him. And thus a way of life in love must be obviously recognizable where divine revelations want to have been heard. Faith and love are therefore necessary for the time being, and from them comes humility …. a profound humility towards God, Who is recognized as the most perfect being and makes the creature’s imperfection, respectively the far distance from Him, become conscious. God gives His grace to the humble …. Therefore, a person who is worthy of divine revelations will never put himself in the foreground, he will never emphasize his own person but only ever stand up for God towards his fellow human beings. And such a humble person who stands in love and faith can never be a false prophet, he will be used as God’s instrument and be the recipient of divine revelations which have to be judged as spoken by Himself and only contain purest truth. There are no half truths, there is no partial knowledge, if God makes Himself known to a person, if He pours out His spirit upon a person who makes himself worthy of it. God will always and forever impart His word to people on earth, and this word of His will always and forever remain the same ….
(17.12.1949) But if God speaks to people through the heart and mouth of a willing human being, if He therefore gives His word through him to all people, it must always be expected that satan will use all his zeal to prevent divine activity and, since he cannot turn against God Himself, he will try to make his instrument submissive. Thus he will endeavour to prevent people from receiving the divine word as often as possible. He will not shy away from any means, but he will always have a strong opponent in Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world. For He was, so to speak, satan’s greatest enemy from the beginning of His mission, because He overcame him and, through His victory, wrested countless souls from satan. This enmity between the supreme spirit of light and the prince of darkness will result in a constant counteraction of the latter to the supply of pure truth. But the human being as such has a sure protection against all such influences and God-opposing efforts in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ Himself, Who, through the mere call, through the utterance of His sanctified name, gives the human being the strength to defend himself against the troublesome enemy. But this call must not merely be a lip prayer, a thoughtless utterance with the mouth, as everything that is to have the effect promised by God presupposes a prayer in spirit and in truth. Jesus Christ is still the patron of profound faith, He is still a match for the adversary’s power and is only able to render His adversary harmless through His will alone. But whether people want to make use of His protection is up to them. Unbelief in the power of His name gives satan the upper hand, but then people have only themselves to blame if they fall into his power, which God will always try to prevent but will never forcibly influence the human being’s will. Faith alone is the inexhaustible strength which a person can oppose the adversary and he will certainly give way, yet faith is a matter of a person’s free will, he can achieve everything but will never be forced by God, which is why the human being who does not believe profoundly will feel the power of His adversary who tries to make him fall away from God …. (19.12.1949) Thus the invocation of Jesus’ name is and remains the surest protection, for satan has to give way to Him, otherwise Jesus’ deity would have to be doubted or satan’s power would surpass God Himself. It is wrong to assume that promises once given could lose their power and effect; it is also wrong to consider utterances of immature souls from the spiritual kingdom to be divine revelations, for a distinction must be made between transmissions from the spiritual kingdom to the human being’s physical ear and those which touch the spiritual ear as works of the spirit. A distinction must therefore be made: Outpouring of the spirit in the awake state from communications out of the spiritual kingdom in the unconscious state where, so to speak, all spirits have access and the human will allows those spiritual beings to be heard to which it hands itself over. Then the formal utterance of Jesus’ name is not enough to displace those spirits. But if Jesus Christ is called upon in spirit and in truth, those spirits will also be banished. Therefore it is also not advisable to establish contact with the spiritual world if the results are obtained in an unconscious state, which may also never be presented as divine revelations, because the working of the spirit in the human being is necessary for such, so that God’s utterances are heard as an inner voice. Intercourse with the spiritual world can certainly be initiated through eager spiritual mental activity, because then the spiritual beings will mentally influence the human being, but then the human being’s will, his way of life and his degree of maturity are still decisive as to which beings approach him and mentally instruct him. Yet the call of Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth will certainly protect the human being from spiritual danger, just as it is not otherwise conceivable if a divine power full of wisdom and love is to be acknowledged, Which also has power over satan and will truly protect Its living creations from its influence if the living creations themselves seriously want this, if they therefore strive towards God and want to escape from satan. Always seek the fault or the reason in yourselves if your experiences do not correspond to the promises of Christ. His word is inviolable, it is unchangeable and purest truth, therefore it will also remain and never lose its effect. And people will always be able to take His word as a guideline for their way of life, and the fulfilment of His promises will be certain to them ….
Amen

End of the time of graces …. serious reminder ….
B.D. 4800 from December 20th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The time of grace will soon be over and people will not change. They rebel against every stroke of fate which should bring them realization, they don’t make use of any help from God because they don’t believe in Him. They walk in darkness and shun the light, and a dreadful end is in store for them according to God’s eternal plan of salvation. And this end is coming soon. No matter what people start to do in order to live well, it will all be done in vain and people will no longer benefit from it, for their thinking and striving is only earthly, but everything earthly is transient, and even the earth will experience a change in its external form which necessitates the dissolution of matter. And thus matter, which surrounds the human being, will pass away and only that will remain which people have created and acquired spiritually. And this will be very little with most people. Again and again they are reminded of the end, of the transience of earthly things, again and again they are placed in situations where it is easy for them to take the step into the spiritual kingdom …. where they are urged to pray, to call upon the one Who is their creator and sustainer; yet they rarely take the opportunity to gather spiritual riches. And thus the admonitions and warnings have to become ever more serious, ever sharper means have to be used to make people think, to make them aware of the transience of earthly things. And therefore the world will experience a spectacle which would certainly be suitable to bring people to their senses if only they would recognize it as a sign from above. But only few see it for what it is …. as a last admonition and warning call from God before the earth experiences a work of destruction from which the new earth is to emerge. God announces Himself beforehand and gives a last sign, and whoever pays attention to it can still save his soul from eternal death. But anyone who passes by it will have to expect a difficult fate when the end has come, for on the day of judgment every person will receive what he strived for on earth …. Anyone who has sought the spiritual kingdom will also enter it and then be allowed to dwell in paradise on the new earth. But anyone who was a friend of matter will receive what he desired …. he will again be bound in hardest matter and will have to languish in captivity again for an infinitely long time because he was unable to detach himself from that which he was meant to overcome on earth …. because he did not want to free himself from the earthly and left the spiritual unnoticed. You humans, remember the end …. for it brings true death to the soul which did not seek life on earth. Detach yourselves from matter, do not be slaves to that which pulls you into the abyss. Let yourselves be admonished and warned, and listen to the voice of the prophets who speak to you in God’s stead and announce to you the near judgment. And so listen to their speeches and respect them as God’s word, Who wants to speak to you through His servants on earth so that you may save your soul from eternal death, so that you may come to your senses and stretch up your hands to Him so that He may help you and save you from eternal ruin ….
Amen

Blissful condition of mature souls and the state of imperfection in the beyond ….
B.D. 4801 from December 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
Blissful conditions have been prepared for you in My Father’s house. There you will find everything that gives you joy when your soul has become free from all earthly desires and ready for the spiritual kingdom. But you can only understand these blissful conditions, the joys for your pure, spiritualised soul, when you already strive for spiritual values on earth, when the earth and its possessions cannot attract you anymore. They are spiritual pleasures which give the soul unspeakable delight. They are pleasures which touch the feelings of the soul like earthly pleasures touch the body, bringing the soul great happiness because it no longer has any earthly desires. Like on earth, the soul will also experience beauty in the beyond and, like on earth, it will also experience feelings of happiness but far more profoundly. It will consistently long to increase its spiritual riches and this longing will indeed be granted. It can see and hear indescribable creations and will continually draw wisdom and strength from it …. It will move in the most delightful surroundings for which there is no earthly comparison because earthly creations are poor and barren in contrast, and therefore the human being lacks the imagination for the wonders of divine love which the Father allows His children to see. And since every being is in contact with like-minded souls the bliss will increase considerably and the light will become steadily brighter.
On the other hand, the state of the imperfect beings in the beyond can be described because it does not differ much from that on earth so that the souls still believe that they are living on earth, and this for a long time. Just as people on earth live for material things and cannot understand how spiritually aspiring human beings can withdraw from the world and still be happy, they also live in the spiritual world with the same desire for material things which will be granted to them but in a way that the achievement of their wishes cannot make them happy until, after a long time, they have become aware of the worthlessness of material things and begin to detach themselves from them. But the spiritual kingdom of light with its inhabitants will be closed to these beings …. It is another world of which they will have no understanding as yet nor could they exist there because the abundance of light would consume them. But disguised beings of light are always amongst them, who try to teach them and attempt to direct their will to liberate themselves from earthly lusts and to help them strive for something higher so that they also can enter, often after a long time, the kingdom of light. Souls with the same degree of imperfection can enter the beyond yet will need different lengths of time to mature fully …. it all depends on their hearts’ ability to love, which, sometimes will change faster in the spiritual kingdom than on earth, but they can also take a very long time to overcome their errors and bad habits. However, these immature souls are always faced with known concepts, while in the kingdom of light the soul will meet completely unfamiliar conditions where seeing and hearing result in blissful happiness and the wonders never end. Herein is the promise of Jesus fulfilled: ‘Eye has not seen and ear has not heard what He has prepared for those that love Him’ ….
Amen

Christ's descent to earth and reason ….
B.D. 4802 from December 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
My descent to earth was necessary because people, My living creations, suffered immense hardship due to their own fault. However, My Fatherly love did not want to let them perish. Besides, My adversary revolted against Me insofar as that he totally controlled My creations, which his will certainly created but nevertheless with My strength, and was effectively denying them freedom of will by weakening My living creations such that they were no longer able to use their free will correctly, that is, in a way that was pleasing to Me. And thus I wanted to help My weak creatures in their desperate need …. This hardship not only applied to their earthly life, this hardship would last forever had I not come to help them. I felt pity for My living creations although they had turned away from Me of their own free will …. However, the fact that their will was so exceedingly weak as to be controlled by My adversary was merely the result of their lack of love …. Love is strength and fortifies the will to resist the assaults by the enemy of the soul. Wherever love exists there is no danger of falling prey to the adversary because the presence of love demonstrates My presence too. But at the time of My coming into the world people were entirely without love …. apart from a few to whom I came in order to help them in particular, so that their utterly heartless surrounding would not lead to their ruin. I descended to these few because they were under great pressure and called upon Me in their distress. Yet even their faith had become weak, no-one established the connection with their Creator and Father of eternity such that I was able to express Myself audibly to him. Where love did not exist, faith was missing and My opponent reaped a great harvest, for his activity even robbed the few of their faith in Me, in My love, wisdom and might …. And thus I Myself came into the world …. A human body received Me because I wanted to help people as a human being in order to provide them with the evidence that a person is able to approach and unite with Me if he strengthens his will through love and then deliberately fights the enemy of his soul, My adversary. My body was purely human but it was inhabited by a soul of light which, however, initially had no past memory at all until the unification with Me through love had taken place. Only then did the soul recognise itself and its mission. Jesus, the man, had united with Me through love, for love is strength, it is My fundamental substance, it is the Divine which permeates everything, hence it also shaped the human being Jesus into a divine Being Which was bound to be full of strength, might and wisdom.
Thus I entered the human form after it had shaped itself through love into an abode for the Eternal Deity. You humans will find it difficult to understand this enigma as long as you still lack love, yet where love exists there is also light …. that is where I Myself can work and enlighten your spirit …. I came to My Own and they did not know Me …. However, I wanted to reveal Myself to them and therefore had to enlighten them as to why they were in the dark, why they didn’t recognise Me and why they were in great danger. And therefore I instructed people through the man Jesus. I brought them My Word which they themselves were no longer able to hear but which was heard by the human being Jesus, since due to His love He allowed Me to be present in Him …. For My presence means that you humans can hear My voice. Hence, you can only hear Me if you change your nature through love, if your love allows for My presence ….
If love is within you, you are strong and no longer need to fear My adversary who intends to ruin you. I had to come down to Earth because you lacked this knowledge and I wanted to inform you of it again. And this is why I come to My Own again, for once again there is immense hardship, once again people don’t recognise Me, My adversary is firmly in control of them again and only a few call upon Me for help. And I grant their prayer and Am in the midst of those who want to be My Own. And I bestow My Word upon them …. except that I Am not physically amongst them but Am with them in spirit, as I have promised. However, I will return to Earth and fetch My Own into My kingdom …. For the adversary’s activity is getting out of hand, thus the time has come for him to be bound again, the time has come for the goats to be separated from the sheep …. It is the time of the end, of which it is written that I will come in the clouds to judge the living and the dead. Yet I will be present to anyone who remains in love, he will not need to be afraid of the last Judgment, I will be His Redeemer again from greatest adversity, the Saviour, Who will come from above when Satan believes that he has won his game …. And he will be bound in chains so that peace shall come upon those people who are of good will ….
Amen

Incarnation of many light souls during the last days ….
B.D. 4803 from December 24th 1949, taken from Book No. 54
The earthly world also helps the beings of light to reach perfection. For it offers the most opportunities for attaining childship to God, which even a being of light can only achieve by means of living in the flesh on this earth. In that case, however, their life on earth as a human being does not require the higher development in a state of compulsion, instead the enlightened soul can directly engender itself in the flesh in order to then pass its decision of free will, for which it will often be sorely tested. Time and again beings of light will descend to Earth, and many such incarnations will be especially granted during the last days before the end, since precisely this difficult lifetime on earth guarantees the highest degree of maturity, whereas erring people will also require spiritual leaders, which only people embodied by beings of light can become. Jesus Christ, too, was such a soul of light which accepted a great and sacred mission that made greatest demands on a human being’s will. His soul was certainly perfect when it entered this earth; nevertheless, this degree of light had no influence on the earthly life of Jesus the man, or it would have devalued His mission, the redemption of humanity. The conditions placed upon the human being as such were extremely difficult …. Like every other human being he had to overcome the body’s wishes and cravings, which were extremely strongly developed in Him and thus required extreme self-control and abstinence. His soul had to resist immense temptations, as a human being Jesus had to fight a constant battle against Himself during His younger years. And therefore His love, gentleness and patience had to be valued far more than those of a gentle and passionless person who does not need to overcome anything because little or nothing attracts him. The soul of light knew its mission from the start and travelled its earthly path when humanity’s hardship necessitated it ….
Thus Jesus came into the world at a time when people’s carnal sensuality had become rife and people needed to be given an example that and how it would be possible to exercise control over their carnal desires. Everything, even the most difficult, is possible with the strength of love …. Nothing exists which a human being who lives a life of love cannot overcome. Love itself is strength and thus can shape the free will to become incredibly strong so that everything is possible for a person. If, therefore, an extraordinary number of light beings are incarnated on earth during the time of the end, then they will all be given a mission which requires love and willpower. However, all these souls have the same in common: to spread the divine Word amongst people. For knowledgeable souls open up the knowledge to them on earth again, that is, it is brought back into their memory again, and they feel urged to pass the knowledge on to their fellow human beings who live in spiritual darkness. And thus the characteristic of those from above rests in the fact that they eagerly participate in the distribution of the divine Word, but, please note …. of the Word which has originated from the spiritual kingdom …. The teaching of love which Jesus Christ proclaimed on Earth was God’s Word spoken through Jesus and will remain it for all eternity. And this teaching of love should and must always be mentioned where a person wants to stand up for God. Thus embodied souls of light only find earthly happiness by spreading this divine teaching of love, and they are God’s true representatives on earth. Whatever is taught outside of this teaching is human work. No-one who supports this originates from the kingdom of light, instead his home is in the realm of darkness. And the souls of light will always desire to take action against such teachings which, in the last days, will happen very often ….
Amen
