The arduous path to the top …. earthly reward
B.D. 4804 from December 28th 1949, taken from Book No. 55
What will be your salvation is your fate in life. A person’s education into a child of God will always be a path of suffering which has to be travelled with a will turned towards Me until the end, so that I can then accept him into My kingdom, so that I can draw him to My heart in order to reward his loyalty. And thus souls of light also have to take this path if their embodiment on earth is to be successful for the sake of which they entered the embodiment. An earthly life without hardship and suffering also reduces the possibilities of maturing and is only granted to those who make no effort to gather spiritual wealth, who therefore only strive for earthly aims, who devote themselves to My adversary who grants them worldly support in order to no longer lose their souls. Therefore never envy people who succeed in everything, who revel in earthly prosperity and have to endure few trials. Know that their souls achieve almost no progress from the beginning of their embodiment until the end, that they certainly live but are doomed to spiritual death, that they therefore already receive the reward on earth, as it were, for deeds which were not motivated by love but which helped their fellow human beings in their hardship. Nothing remains unrewarded for people, but woe betide them if only earthly reward is granted …. People will enter the beyond miserable after their death, and their hardship and darkness will be great there. Endure everything that is imposed on you and increase your spiritual possessions when earthly hardship oppresses you, so that you will be rewarded in the spiritual kingdom and don’t need to live in want there. And know that only a thorny path will lead you to the aim, that it is the right path which leads laboriously and steeply upwards. And if the path is even, ask for a quick ascent and for strength to be able to walk every path, no matter how arduous. And don’t look with envy at those who can enjoy their earthly life, for one day they will be pitied, while the just reward still beckons to you, which I Myself will grant you if you have entered My kingdom ….
Amen

Outpouring of the spirit ….
B.D. 4805 from December 29th 1949, taken from Book No. 55
What speaks to the soul does not touch the senses of the human being but only the heart. And that is why the voice of the spirit cannot be heard and felt with the senses of the body but only resounds in the heart, i.e. rises from the innermost part of the human being and only then becomes conscious to the human being. If it were to touch the senses of the human being in a pleasant way, then he would certainly listen more often to the voice in the heart, but the spiritual success would then only be slight, because the body is also involved. But that is why it is also far more meritorious to let the inner voice sound without bodily impetus, because then only the human will strives for the connection with the spiritual world, with the kingdom from which the voice, audible to the soul, sounds. And that is why it is only rarely that the inhabitants of the kingdom of light can express themselves to a human being although they constantly endeavour to make themselves known to them. They are in a kingdom of which the human being as such cannot form an idea, and that is why the existence of a spiritual kingdom is doubted. And thus they do not seek to gain insight into this kingdom, they do not seek to establish contact with the inhabitants of it. But if a person is willing to do so because he believes and wants to hear the beings of the kingdom of light, he will also never be abandoned by these beings again because through him they can gain contact with people and communicate with them, albeit indirectly. And therefore the human being will only need to want and never wait in vain for the utterances of the beings of light, which are therefore, so to speak, power stations for God’s emanating strength, for His spirit, which pours itself out on all sides, which is only looking for an open vessel in order to pour itself into it. Hence there are only obstacles on the part of the human being when his willingness decreases, although this is only ever a temporary state, because once a person has been touched by spiritual currents in such a way that he was allowed to hear God’s expression through the beings of light within himself, he will never want to miss this spiritual voice again and again and again opens his spiritual ear because the soul impels him to do so …. or also the spirit. The latter wants to make itself known to the soul, and if it finds no resistance then the soul constantly drives the body to create opportunities for a quiet inner contemplation, for the reception of spiritual good through the inner word. Everything that promotes the human being’s spiritual development is under God’s care and will be supported, which is why even the most difficult living conditions cannot affect a spiritual striving, because the human being’s will adapts itself to divine will, because God wants to speak to people through the voice of the spirit and therefore the receipt of spiritual good is supported in every way. And thus it is always pleasing to God if an earthly child desires to hear His voice, and He will always accommodate it because it is the soul which desires nourishment and He will never let it go hungry ….
Amen

God’s word gift of grace …. unbelief in connection with God ….
B.D. 4806 from December 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 55
The gift of grace of a direct connection with Me is of such inestimable value that people cannot be grateful enough to hear words of love from Me which otherwise could never touch their ear. For this not only applies to the direct recipient of My word but also to fellow human beings who take notice of it through him, even though it first requires people’s will to hear Me speak, otherwise My word will touch the individual like a word spoken by people. You can all come into possession of a gift of grace if only you have the will to do so …. if you want your heavenly father to draw close to you and make you happy with His word. But very few carry this pious desire in their heart. Countless people walk this earth to whom the thought is alien to connect with their father and creator in order to hear His voice …. and the few who certainly have the desire to hear Me do not believe that this is possible …. And thus there are only a few whose faith allows for a connection with Me, because this faith came alive through love and only a living faith allows for an audible utterance on My part. It is now up to these few to enlighten people about their relationship with their creator and about His willingness to make Himself known to His living creations. But they will only find faith again where love is active, where the spirit is awakened through unselfish activity of love, so that what is said to him about the living connection with Me appears credible to the human being. And then the desire to hear Me speak also arises in him. Whether he hears Me directly or My word is conveyed to him through My servants is the same in its effect, for he will recognize and feel the word conveyed to him as being spoken by Me and accept it with the same love as if he were honoured by a direct address from Me. Just as his desire for Me is, so is the fulfilment of his desire …. His heart’s emanation of love also determines the degree of bliss when receiving My word, but which is felt more by the soul than by the body. I thereby enable you humans to take notice of My will and to fulfil it, since I also give you the strength at the same time as My word. There is the possibility of approaching Me to the highest degree if My will is fulfilled. And therefore I make sure that you know about My will and convey it to you through My word. For all who don’t believe in a living connection with directly imparted word I send My messengers to bring My word to them from outside, to proclaim the gospel to them which expresses My will as a teaching of love. Yet the word received from outside only comes alive when it penetrates the human being’s inner being and is enlivened there by the spiritual spark …. when the spirit from Me can therefore be active in the human being so that the word coming from outside is also recognizable to him as My word. Then it will exert its effect, it will guide the human being’s will in the right direction, it will give birth to a living faith through love, the human being will establish the living connection with Me and become able to hear My voice in his heart himself. But then he will already be very close to Me that only his earthly life will still stand between us as a separator …. Then he will depart from this earth as My child and be lovingly received in the spiritual kingdom by the father from Whom he once originated and found his way back again in order to never again separate from Him for eternity ….
Amen

Gulf and bridge …. Renewed banishment …. Circuit of flow of love ….
B.D. 4807 from December 30th 1949, taken from Book No. 55
The gulf between humanity and Me grows deeper and deeper, for the number of those who believe in Me with conviction continues to fall. The strength of My representatives on Earth gets constantly weaker, they certainly speak in My name yet are not the distributors of the pure truth. Ever more people leave the faith and turn to the one who is My adversary …. they turn to the world which is his kingdom and thereby increase the distance from Me which they should reduce during their earthly life. They move away from Me and broaden the gulf that separates them from Me. Yet this only works up to a point, for once the limit has been exceeded when the strength of My love no longer affects them, the spiritual substance within people hardens again into solid matter …. As long as the earth still exists the defected people will remain within the circuit of My flow of love, yet leaving it signifies the disintegration of the forms which shelter the spiritual substances …. it signifies the death of people as well as of animals, it signifies a dissolution of creation and a restoration of the same.
No being can distance itself from Me with impunity, for it will lose its life if it loses Me. And so, anyone who wants to stay alive and does not want to lose his life ever again must strive towards Me and look for Me, he must endeavour to reach Me and thus lessen the gulf between us. However, without faith in Me as Father and Creator of eternity there is no path across this gulf, for the bridge leading to Me is invisible …. Only faith makes the bridge apparent, for faith causes people to call upon Me. Faith in Me leads to prayer, which is the safest bridge to Me. Untold people go past this bridge and even those who should be their leaders often don’t find the bridge themselves because their words are lifeless, because the paths they take are unsuitable to serve as a bridge, paths, which time and again lead back to the beginning; because their words of prayer do not emerge from their heart and therefore do not reach My ear either, thus they do not use the bridge which is the only path that leads across the gulf to Me. Sooner or later, however, even this bridge will not exist anymore, for once My Own have come across it will be too late for the others, because then every path will be cut off and there will be no more escape for those left behind; then they will be devoured by the abyss, the earth will admit them again and everything will become solidified and become matter once more, because it didn’t strive to ascend but chose to reach the abyss ….
Amen

Who is it that reveals Himself? …. God, the eternal light ….
B.D. 4808 from December 31th 1949, taken from Book No. 55
You will always fulfil the will of the one Who created you if you want to serve Him and commend yourselves to His love and grace. For I will truly not let you go to ruin if you seek ascent, if you want to be subject to Me. But who is He who speaks to you? …. satan is truly unable to influence you who desire God, who desire Me, Whom your soul strives for, Whom you want to belong to and Whose children you are through your will. For it is the will which decides which lord you belong to. My creations are in My adversary’s hands as long as their will applies to him, who once turned away from Me and thus succumbed to his influence. As soon as this free will of yours pushes towards Me you will also have escaped the adversary’s control and he will no longer be able to harm you, even though he still lurks around you as a constant tempter in order to bring you down. But I seize a will turned towards Me and no longer tolerate a downward turn. If you are willing to listen to Me, to hear My voice, then I will also fulfil your desire, for anyone whose will turns towards Me belongs to Me, he has passed the test of will on earth, he is an aspirant of the spiritual kingdom in which the free spirits dwell close to Me. And if he now hears My voice then he need no longer fear deception, no error and no untruth, then he will be in contact with Me, Who is the eternal truth Himself …. But his will is always decisive …. But you must test yourselves as to whether your will applies to Me, for it is the desire of the heart, not the language of the mouth, which I evaluate. A person can use the same words with which another expresses the desire of the heart and yet his thoughts and aspirations can be turned towards the world, which is My adversary’s kingdom. I Myself certainly know about the human being’s will, yet the fellow human being can be deceived by pious words of which the heart knows nothing. Then satan can certainly intervene and influence the human being’s thoughts so that he expresses what is not My will. But then it is not I who speaks in the human being, but the human being himself speaks, driven by satan. He speaks his own words, which are not the working of the spirit. But anyone with a humble heart who offers his services to Me, who appeals to Me for help and grace, who renounces the world and strives to fulfil My will, will not give the enemy of his soul a target of attack, he will be completely seized by Me and protected from evil influence because I know his will. Anyone who prays to Me in spirit and in truth is also in love, otherwise he does not possess the living faith in Me which enables him to pray in spirit and in truth …. And My love also applies to him, which would never let him run into a fire so that he would get burnt. Therefore, anyone who prays in spirit and in truth hears Me speak, for satan will not approach him because I am present and he shuns Me and My nearness. To anyone who wants to hear Me I will also reveal Myself as God and creator, as father and eternal spirit of infinity, and My words will touch his heart so that he will recognize Who is speaking to him and will never be able to doubt, for the words of love are unmistakable, just as the words of the one who expresses himself under a mask, in the garment of light, to those who are in bondage to him through their wrong will, are also recognizable …. At the end of days there will be much error and lies and the truth will seem to be darkened everywhere; error and truth will walk side by side, unrecognized by most, yet the light of truth will shine brighter and soon eclipse all false lights, for I Myself choose people as bearers of truth who have a strong will which is entirely meant for Me. And these will carry the light everywhere and protect it so that it will not go out, they will courageously face My adversary and blind him with the bright light so that he will flee back into darkness, so that he will avoid all those who are in My service as bearers of light, for he knows that I Myself am the light which illuminates the darkness, which he can never ever extinguish ….

Acknowledge Jesus Christ necessary ….
B.D. 4809 from January 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Jesus Christ must be acknowledged as God’s son and redeemer of the world, otherwise the human being will fall back into darkness, from which God’s great fatherly love has already helped him up so that he can easily reach the light. But the light of knowledge also includes an understanding of Christ’s work of redemption and thus an acknowledgement of Christ as redeemer. The man Jesus broke through the night of death, He changed people’s dark spiritual state into a luminous one through His death on the cross, because He proved through His death that there is a path to eternal life, the path of love …. Through His way of life, which was crowned by His death on the cross, He showed people a path which leads out of the darkness of night into the most radiant light; thus He overcame this state of darkness, spiritual death, and likewise acquired the grace for people to enter the light with His help, because no-one alone is capable of doing so due to the weakened will which, without the divine redeemer’s help, is influenced by His adversary who would like to pull the souls back into deepest darkness again who already possess a faint glimmer of realization. Jesus Christ stands by these souls in the battle against the adversary; but alone they are too weak and succumb to the strong power of satan …. The human being is the product of a creative power turned away from God, i.e., a being which abundantly fed God with strength used this strength again to create beings which carried its will turned away from God within them …. These were spiritual beings which, as products of God’s emanating strength, were also His share which He will not relinquish for eternity. But God’s strength, which was, as it were, profaned by the adversary’s will, had to take on its original form again, i.e. the beings which emerged from this strength had to become truly divine beings in order to be able to enjoy the bliss in the spiritual world which corresponds to their perfection.
This change takes place in the creation which came into being for this purpose in an inconceivably long time. However, God’s adversary, i.e. the producer of those beings, does not want to allow this change, and so a battle is now being waged for these beings, but the being itself has to bring it to a conclusion in its short earthly lifetime as a human being. However, due to the adversary’s influence on his creations the human being is very weak-willed during his earthly life, so that the decision on his part would always apply to his producer, thus to God’s adversary, which, however, cannot be regarded as a free decision of will, since satan keeps it bound, so to speak. And therefore God came to the aid of the bound beings by sending them a saviour Who was to redeem them from these bonds of satan, yet He also now demanded free will. The human being’s will now has to decide for itself again whether it leans towards the divine redeemer or towards its creator. But now the will is truly free and strong if it avails itself of the grace of the act of salvation by acknowledging Jesus Christ as redeemer and appealing to Him for support in its decision of will. If, however, the divine redeemer is ignored, if His act of salvation is not acknowledged as well as His mission, then the human being will continue to remain under the control of the one who has placed his God-opposing will into him, and he will remain eternally in the night of death, in a state of deepest spiritual darkness, without recognizing himself and his relationship to God as creator and father, as controller of all infinity. He remains eternally as a child of satan in a state of wretchedness, bound and enslaved …. in eternal captivity. He absolutely has to call upon the help of the redeemer, Who alone can free him from satan’s power, Who alone can rescue him from the state of death and raise him to life, because He died for him on the cross and with His blood ransomed him from the one who had been lord over him since the beginning ….

Purpose – God's evidences of His love, omnipotence and wisdom ….
B.D. 4810 from January 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Divine omnipotence intervenes where divine love wants to express itself and reveal itself to the human being in his adversity. For with God no thing is impossible and His will becomes action through His love. But the human being’s intellect cannot grasp what divine love is able to do, for it is strength which manifests His will, and thus the human being can truly ask for everything, God can make it possible even though it appears humanly impossible. And therefore no adversity is so great that it cannot be remedied by God, and no work is too difficult that it cannot be carried out by God …. Nothing is impossible that a person asks of Him if only he believes in God’s love and omnipotence. God does not deny Himself and does not close His heart to the child which sees its father in Him and comes to Him in its adversity. Faith in God’s love and omnipotence is a sure means to remedy any adversity. God’s omnipotence knows no limits, and God’s love is without end and of a depth which is incomprehensible to you humans but which you can feel if you faithfully entrust yourselves to Him. Creation and your own life prove to you that His love applies to you, for it is a gift of grace from His love that you may take the path through creation ….
(2.1.1950) Because His love willed it, His will became powerful, the strength of love unfolded and let everything come into being …. an exceedingly exemplary creation and yourselves as the crown of the …. His love created man …. He established a relationship with what He had created, like a right father with his child. He provides for and cares for the whole of creation, and He bestows His special love on the human being, whom He wants to educate into a right child of God. And His love, His wisdom and His omnipotence will always work together to make that which has come forth from Him happy. Whatever He wants will happen, but it will always be good for the being which He wants to reshape into His child. But it will also always learn to recognize its creator and father of eternity through God’s wise activity, through the visible evidence of His love and His omnipotence. It will love Him again and long for Him, and this is what God aims for through all evidence of His love, wisdom and omnipotence …. He wants to win His children for eternity, He wants to make everything that has emerged from His strength blissfully happy, He wants them to enjoy His vision as blissful spirits, He wants them to be eternally blissful ….
Amen

Divine revelations: knowledge …. help …. creation …. word ….
B.D. 4811 from January 3rd 1950, taken from Book No. 55
What the spirit reveals to you from Me is valid for all eternity. And thus you will realize that only that which is to be addressed as heavenly wisdom can be considered divine revelation, that is, the knowledge which gives you knowledge of the otherwise eternally unfathomable, of the essence of your creator and father, of His eternal plan of salvation, the knowledge of the cause, purpose and aim of everything that is. This is therefore the divine knowledge which is imparted to you through My spirit in the form of My word …. as divine revelation. This includes everything that explains the cause, purpose and aim of the whole …. Divine revelations are furthermore the proofs of My existence, My love, omnipotence and wisdom …. And thus the whole of creation is also a revelation of Myself to the one who wants to recognize it as such, but just as any obvious help in earthly adversity is also a revelation on My part. For you humans will always be able to recognize a proving expression of Me, a sign of the creator’s love for His living creations, if you want it. However, the greatest revelation will always remain My word, which is heard through the inner voice in sound or in thought. For through this word I Myself approach the recipient and through him also all people and express Myself to them. I speak to people in such a way that everyone can understand Me …. Thus I create a connection between the spiritual and the earthly world through the word, I direct people’s thoughts from the earthly world into the spiritual kingdom …. I point them to their aim and guide all means which are intended to fulfil the purpose of leading people to the aim. I give people direct revelations from above so that they shall escape the abyss and strive upwards. For these revelations, which therefore only have the purpose of guiding people upwards, to Me, are not transient, they will remain in existence for all eternity, because My word is imperishable, because what is once spoken by Me inevitably lasts for eternity and also has to, otherwise I could not be called perfect. What comes forth from Me, what is announced to people through My spirit, must be irrevocable truth, and truth remains eternally what it is. And thus I am the original source of truth, and from this source flows the living water …. divine revelations which are life-awakening gifts of grace which help the soul to perfection, to the maturity it needs in order to unite with Me eternally. There is no substitute for a divine revelation, for is there anything better than being honoured by Me with an address which must always have a beneficial effect on the soul? Is there anything more blissful than to be instructed by the father as to the path by which the child attains eternal life? Is there a greater guarantor for truth than the eternal truth itself? But if I take care of My children, they are truly well cared for …. Therefore I reveal Myself to those who are My true children and give them My word as a sign of My immeasurable love ….
Amen

Bliss of the soul only in union with God ….
B.D. 4812 from January 4th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Bliss only exists in connection with Me. On earth the connection with satan can indeed trigger a feeling of happiness in the human being but then it will always be physical pleasures which delight the human being but in which the soul has no part. The soul only finds happiness and peace in unity with Me, because it is spiritual substance which originated from Me and thus never loses its feeling of belonging to Me, it is just not aware of it as a human being in a state of imperfection. The spiritual cannot be satisfied with worldly pleasures, and if the soul is pushed back from the body because of matter then the soul’s cover, which is spiritual in itself and now sinks into a state of death or sleep as long as it is surrounded by matter and dominated by it through the human being’s will, condenses. The soul could certainly defend itself but it is too weak and gives in to the body’s desire. But it will never be blissful as long as the body finds fulfilment of its desires. My nearness triggers the highest bliss in it. It strives towards Me as soon as it has once felt My presence, as soon as it has once found union with Me through loving activity, since I am present in every work of love and thus it draws Me to itself when it works with love. And it no longer wants to miss this bliss and only strives ever more eagerly towards Me. What a soul finds in union with Me compensates it for all adversity during its long course of development on earth and for all suffering during its earthly life as a human being. Yes, it is grateful to Me for these because they had brought it the union with Me. It will never have to give up the happiness of a union with Me, for a relapse is never possible. It can certainly exchange the kingdom of light with earth for a short time for the purpose of a mission on earth, but compared to eternity this is only a single moment where the soul is, so to speak, left to itself again but constantly longs upwards, for My kingdom, because it unconsciously feels what it left there. Nevertheless, it takes upon itself the embodiment on earth as a necessary work of love, for it is aware of its mission and also serves people of its own accord in order to likewise help them to become blissfully happy. Such a soul always stays with Me in spirit, it is only for its own sake that it is deprived of recollection as long as it lives on earth. Yet satan has no influence on such a soul, for it has much spiritual strength, it has much love for God and its fellow human beings. And this love always makes it seek contact with Me on earth, for Whom it longs until it is united with Me again ….
Amen

Measure of grace unlimited …. no preferential treatment of the individual ….
B.D. 4813 from January 5th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You will always be granted the measure of grace you want to accept, i.e. let it become effective in you. I am always ready to pour out grace upon every person, yet not all are willing to accept it, to open themselves to the flow of grace and to bathe in it. How often are you surrounded by My grace, how often do I pour out the cornucopia of My grace over the earth, and everyone is entitled to take possession of it. Yet My gift of grace is only rarely valued as a gift of love from Me of utmost success. And that is why people’s development on earth varies so much, that is why there are so many stages of maturity, and that is why many people remain at the bottom while others ascend to the highest height, because ever more grace beckons to them the higher they ascend. My love, however, embraces all My creatures, and therefore I consider none of them meagre …. They can all take as much as they want from Me but they don’t want much, that is, only a few have recognized the value of My blessings and enrich themselves with them, because they are not limited in receiving blessings, because they constantly work on themselves and thus also let the blessings take effect. However, I do not force grace on anyone …. I also give it to those who don’t desire it of their own accord, I offer it to them, but then the human being’s will first has to be willing to accept My gift, otherwise it will remain completely ineffective, thus they will not have received any grace in reality. The fact that the influx of grace is evident in a few people should not justify the conclusion that I give extraordinary consideration to these people, that they are destined to achieve great things according to My choice and that I therefore shower them with grace …. The will of these people was ready to work with My grace for My glory …. This is why they were also able to draw immeasurably from the source of grace which My love has made accessible to every person. Yet anyone who avails himself of My grace can achieve everything on earth which is his spiritual aim. For to receive My grace means to do nothing without Me anymore, to request and achieve every assistance from Me and to constantly be under My special protection …. He lives in My grace, I look upon him favourably, for his thoughts often seek Me in the awareness that I am his most faithful friend and father Who provides him with abundant gifts of grace. No human being on earth needs to manage without grace, that is, I am always ready to help where My help is needed, because My mercy and My love applies to all My living creations whom I want to help to beatitude; anyone who accepts My grace will become blissfully happy, yet anyone who rejects it will be hopelessly lost for all eternity, because no-one can escape spiritual death without My help ….
Amen

Spiritual marriage ….
B.D. 4814 from January 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Be united in spirit with Me, Who wants to be everything to you, friend, brother, father and bridegroom of the soul. The world has no part in Me, and so I will have to avoid the children of the world, and their lust does not have Me as a companion. They stand lonely in the world, although they are surrounded by friends, for these are again children of the world and without connection with Me. But I am everything for My own and leave no-one alone. For I seek closest communion with My creatures, and what is still far from Me I seek to win. And thus I am to everyone what he wants to see in Me. Anyone who needs a friend I will support with advice and action, anyone who sees the father in Me I will also give him My fatherly love, My concern for all those who regard Me as a brother is brotherly; but those who give Me all their love I also want to make happy with My love, and they shall eternally desire nothing more than this love of Mine ….
(8.1.1950) The spiritual marriage with Me presupposes a love from both sides …. My love is eternally unchanging, it will never diminish or become less, it draws to itself with its ardour everything that had its origin in it. My love does not want to give up anything it once possessed, and therefore every being could feel loved by Me. Yet only reciprocated love makes the being capable of feeling My love, and I constantly court this reciprocated love. Only when the love of My living creations, and thus especially of the human being, has reached a degree which can bear the weakest degree of My love does the union, the spiritual marriage with Me, take place, which is truly the highest happiness for the human being’s soul, because now My strength of love can continuously overflow and the soul thereby becomes blissfully happy. In the spiritual kingdom such a union is indescribably sublime and blissful; on earth the union can also take place, yet the human being as such only feels peace within himself and the feeling of security at the father’s heart, because through his love for Me his faith in My love, wisdom and omnipotence is also alive and in this awareness he no longer knows earthly worries. An increased degree of bliss would be unbearable for him on earth as long as he still has to fulfil earthly duties and thus is active in life. In the spiritual kingdom, however, every barrier between Me and My living creations falls. Then a blissful union takes place, accompanied by inconceivable light radiation, which returns the being to its original state where it was able to freely create and shape according to its will. And this state is every creature’s aim, which I want to help it achieve. You can only reach this aim through intimate union with Me in spirit and in truth, and this is the spiritual communion which you should only strive for in your heart, for which you don’t need external signs and customs, because this act of union with Me only requires the unification of the spiritual spark in you with the father-spirit of eternity and this unification can only take place in the heart, at any place and at any time …. wherever the heart quite lovingly longs for Me, there I will also be and marry Myself to that heart ….
Amen

Teachers must be taught by God Himself ….
B.D. 4815 from January 10th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Anyone who has the gift of hearing the word of God through the voice of the spirit thereby gains knowledge which enables him to be active as a teacher of his fellow human beings, for he is taught by God Himself. Although he has not received any special school wisdom and will therefore rarely be recognized as a teacher, he will nevertheless be able to enlighten his fellow human beings, which teachers who have been educated through study are often unable to do, especially when deeper problems have to be solved which directly require the imparting of the truth from God. Furthermore, there are often disputes to be resolved which have given rise to divisions in the church and which will always remain an object of dispute. Only a person who has been taught by God is able to shed light on this, and everyone who seriously strives for truth must acknowledge the logic of the explanation on the part of the one who has been taught by God and declare it to be the only acceptable answer. And then the proof is given that the right answer can only be sought and found with God. No matter how diligently a person studies, he will not be able to acquire the wisdom he receives through instruction by the spirit. But all too little attention is paid to them, all too little truth is examined or truth is striven for. Nevertheless, a servant taught by God must make use of his ability, he must also try to impart to his fellow human beings what he has received in knowledge, he must again and again contrast the spiritual results with the teachings of others, he must come forward with the truth wherever error can be recognized and draw people’s attention to it and advise them to contact God through heartfelt prayer and approach Him for clarification in the disputed question. And he will always receive an answer, but it will be supplied to him in a completely natural way, so that he now has to let his will become active again in order to examine the commanded as well as the challenged knowledge. The servant taught by God is in possession of truth, which would be inconceivable otherwise, and he will be able to answer every question, he will be able to enlighten where there is still darkness, for his thinking is enlightened by God, and in a flash he becomes aware of every wrong teaching, every erroneous statement of faith, and just as quickly also the correction of that which, as error, exerts a poisoning influence on people. But anyone in possession of the pure truth due to God’s great love and omnipotence will not hesitate to give it to his fellow human beings, and therefore a seeker will not need to search for long and a bearer of truth will step into his path and instruct him, and well to those who listen to His voice, who accept what God Himself sends to them through His messengers, through His disciples, whom He Himself chooses to spread the gospel throughout the world ….
Amen

Justice of God …. guilt and atonement …. bondage – redemption ….
B.D. 4816 from January 11th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
All creatures that are in the state of free will have reached a certain level of cognition, i.e., they are able to receive a certain knowledge. But whether it is comprehensible to them, whether it really puts them into the state of cognition, depends on how the human being uses his free will. For the state of knowledge is the sign of the human being’s ascent development, it is a degree of maturity of the soul which the human being’s free will should strive for and which is therefore not arbitrarily assigned to him. But the upward development is the result of a way of life according to God’s will, and God’s will is a life in love. Consequently, only a person who is active in love can stand in knowledge, thus higher knowledge can only be acquired when the person makes an effort to live a life of love. But then he will have understanding for everything, he will only need to occupy himself with a question in thought, and the right answer will also come to him in thought …. he will think truthfully and gain rich knowledge ….
Yet there will also be problems whose solution requires divine support, because the human intellect in itself would eternally be unable to cope with them, for they require the human being’s spiritual rebirth, they require a degree of maturity which is not often found in people. Yet God never refuses to answer such questions if they are seriously put to Him. He alone can also present what is incomprehensible to people in such a way that it becomes understandable to them if they sincerely ask Him for it, yet a certain faith is always necessary which also accepts what seems incomprehensible as long as the human being’s spirit is still unawakened, for everything is understandable to the awakened spirit.
(13.1.1950) There is nothing that does not reveal God’s love, that does not have God’s love as its reason. But the righteousness of God cannot be eliminated, because the perfection of God requires it. And this already clarifies a major problem: the redemption of humanity through Christ …. On the one hand there was a great guilt, on the other hand the eternal Godhead, to whom the spiritual became guilty. But the guilt was so great because the spiritual possessed knowledge, thus it did not sin as a result of a lack of knowledge. This sin also challenged the justice of God, because the perfection of God can never depart from His fundamental principle. Atonement for every violation of the divine order, which took place with the apostasy of the spiritual from God. But the atonement was unspeakably heavy, because sin was endlessly heavy. The distance from God resulted in the weakening of the spiritual. The spiritual beings lost all strength, they could no longer walk uphill on their own but sank deeper and deeper until a being of light took pity on these spiritual beings, until this being came to the aid of the weak, sunken being before it completely lost itself in the depths. The being of light wanted to atone for the guilt, it wanted to sacrifice itself for the unfortunate beings who, after an infinitely long course of development, now threatened to fail in the human stage because they were powerless. And this being of light descended to earth …. A child of God embodied itself as a human being in order to help its fellow human beings. The being of light was in contact with God and knew about the wretched state of the beings who lived on earth and forgot their actual purpose …. But the being of light also knew a path which led out of this unhappy state. It knew about everything that was happening in the spiritual kingdom, on earth and under the earth, i.e. about the fate of those who dwelled in the abyss. And as coming from the kingdom of light Itself, It wanted to provide people with the same enviable condition. But it encountered a great resistance …. It worked a being from darkness against the being of light with word and deed. It bound where the being of light wanted to loosen, i.e., the being of darkness had great influence on people and drove them to their thinking, wanting and doing. But the latter did not correspond to God’s will, thus the essence of darkness worked in a God-opposing sense and the human being would have had to resist its influence if he had wanted to make up for his past wrong against God. But the human being was too weak to do so, he was, so to speak, bound by the will of God’s adversary …. If people were to be redeemed from God’s power they had to be confronted by a being which possessed strong willpower, which consciously stood by God and made use of His strength and power in the battle against Him. And this being was Jesus Christ, He was the being of light embodied as a human being, Who was exceedingly strong-willed and opposed the adversary with a weapon against which he was powerless …. The love which united Jesus with God and made Him the recipient of strength from God …. And thus He was superior to the adversary, and He delivered countless people from the yoke of dark power ….
(14.1.1950) But the yoke consisted of the fact that the human being, as being able to decide upwards or downwards, felt the greatest incentive downwards through the influence of that to which he owed his state of imperfection, that he thus took pleasure in everything that was contrary to God, that he strived for everything that pleased the body and dragged down the soul. The adversary of God sought to win over man’s thinking, feeling and willing, and in doing so he met with little resistance because all the urges that were the adversary’s principle were found in man. Thus man was to a certain extent in bondage to that power which did not give him freedom but always pressed him more and more so that he always carried out its will and distanced himself more and more from God. The human being was a weak creature whose will was bound, which is why he was unable to defend himself …. which would certainly have been very easy if he had used love as a counterforce, against which God’s adversary is powerless. For this reason one had to come as saviour Who proved to people for the first time that a release from the adversary was indeed possible but only through love, which provides the human being with the strength to resist, thus results in strength of will. Furthermore, he had to enlighten people about their task in life because they lacked all knowledge due to the influence of God’s adversary. The saviour out of spiritual adversity therefore had to bring light to people and impart strength …. He had to help them to freedom, He had to loosen the chains of the bound ones from which they could not free themselves alone. Christ’s work of redemption only extends to people’s spiritual state, which was so indescribably low that it was impossible for them to rise up on their own …. precisely because of the lack of love …. And therefore Jesus Christ first instructed people, and He gave them the commandment of love as the most important thing, so that people could bring themselves into possession of strength and light. But then He acquired a spiritual fund through His death on the cross, i.e. a treasure of grace which every person who believes in Him and His act of salvation can draw from. He acquired for the weak-willed strengthening of the will and forgiveness of their guilt …. God looked favourably upon a person’s work of love and granted Him fulfilment of the request which the man Jesus presented to Him for His fellow human beings …. He was satisfied with the death of one human being Who wanted to save His fellow human beings from spiritual death. The love of the God-man Jesus was so strong that it satisfied the eternal deity, Who yearned for the love of all people. He gave His blood for the sins of humanity, He extinguished the guilt with His blood, but mind you …. only of those who acknowledge Him and His act of salvation and want to belong to the flock of the redeemed, otherwise all spiritual beings would already be redeemed but then they would not be able to reach the state of perfection which requires the free test of will ….

Defacing the pure teaching of Christ …. free will ….
B.D. 4817 from January 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
What I spoke to you humans on earth should remain in all purity. This was My will, and therefore I simultaneously gave you the promise that I would remain with you in spirit and thus watch over what is proclaimed as My word on earth. But this promise only applied to those whose will was fully turned towards Me; it applied to those who desired Me in their heart and saw the father of eternity in Me. But I could and never wanted to bind people’s will, and thus it could not be prevented that people’s will disfigured My pure teaching, that what was right for these people was added and left out, and thus My word lost its purity, that it was mixed in with additional human work and therefore also lost the strength and effect which originally adhered to My word and as long as the teaching was divine, thus free from human work. I do not make the human will unfree. But it is understandable that this will was influenced by My adversary as soon as a person makes himself in bondage to him through thought, will and action. It is understandable that truth can no longer flow out of an evil person’s mouth, just as his thinking must be directed against the truth if he harmonizes more with My adversary than with Me. My adversary’s power is great and yet, again, not so great that people have to fall prey to him …. Their will alone determines the influence on the human being’s soul. And therefore pure truth soon became illusory where people did not let Me Myself be present through their will, their love and their way of life. Yet I remain with you in spirit …. I was and am always present where the door of the heart is opened for Me and My dwelling place is prepared …. And there I will also always speak words of love and truth, and anyone who thus hears Me in his heart, who allows Me to speak to him through the spirit, will always know the pure truth and need not fear that he will receive untruth. And thus a constant purification of the teaching takes place which is proclaimed as Christ’s teaching on earth and no longer corresponds to the pure truth, which is no longer what it was at the time of My life on earth. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will endure for eternity ….” Yet only the pure word from Me endures, but word changed by people perishes, even if it has a long existence due to human will, but it will never be able to withstand the truth when it begins to shine in brightest light. For pure truth is like a sharp sword which defeats everything that does not submit to it. Truth will be victorious because it is from Me, Who am the eternal truth Myself ….
Amen

Judgment announcement …. longsuffering of God ….
B.D. 4818 from January 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
For the sake of the few who are still undecided I still hesitate with My obvious emergence, and this gives you cause to doubt My word or to deny the divine origin of the word conveyed to earth. I certainly have great long-suffering, I take the weak, undecided into account, I still try to save as many as possible from ruin and therefore use all means to change their minds, and thus I still stand apart from My purpose …. But once the time has expired and you humans will not have to wait much longer, then word for word will be fulfilled to the sorrow of unspeakably many people but to confirm to you what I have announced to you. You should not doubt, even if one day after the other passes without bringing the announced judgement. Today you can still live in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the world in pleasure and joy, and tomorrow you can already be filled with horror in view of the destruction around you who remain alive. Today there can still be calm everywhere and tomorrow already the strongest storm, to which everything falls victim. Just believe that I speak to you Myself, your God and creator, your father from eternity, when the revelations from above are conveyed to you; believe that this only happens because you are close to the end and I want to save you by conveying My word to you. Understand that I had to choose servants for Myself on earth because you lack the truth and cannot become blessed without the truth. Take every word of this revelation of Mine seriously and believe that the end is near, even though the world would like to teach you otherwise. I certainly let everything take its course and do not hinder My adversary if he wants to draw you into his fishing nets by luring you with the pleasures of the world, that is why I send you My messengers who are to warn you and admonish you not to fall prey to the world; listen to them, don’t turn away unwillingly, consider every word they say and prepare yourselves, for the day is already alarmingly close which will disrupt your life of rest and comfort which you strive for and also know how to procure for yourselves. It is not the right life you lead, for the world is dragging you down. Do not try to stupefy yourselves or to lie to yourselves, the truth will come to light in a frightening way, because there is no existence of lies and therefore also no existence of that which belongs to the realm of the adversary who shuns the truth and tries to suppress it.
Therefore I warn you once again to carelessly reject or disregard My word. Very soon you will remember My word and recognize in Me the one Who rules the world and directs all your destinies, Who spoke words of love to you which you did not accept as the father’s words because you preferred to hear the voice of the world. Wake up, you who are still asleep, and prepare yourselves for the day which will come as surely as My word is fulfilled, because it is the eternal truth ….
Amen

Spiritual turn …. last judgment ….
B.D. 4819 from January 18th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
The world is facing a turning point, i.e. everything that is worldly on earth undergoes a total change in a material sense through a process of destruction, and only the spiritual endures and survives the process of the work of destruction and continues to work in a different form on a new work of creation. Thus the earth renews itself, it emerges from the work of destruction in a completely new form and is again inhabited by human beings who partly originate from the old earth and partly also emerge from this old stock in high spiritual maturity. It is the conclusion of a period of development which will take place in a short time. A period of redemption is coming to an end and a new one is beginning, but so fundamentally different from the old that one can speak of a turning point before which humanity stands, which is to be understood purely spiritually and also earthly. The spiritual low of humanity necessitates a dissolution and reshaping of everything that contains spiritual substances, so that no standstill or decline occurs in the upward development of the spiritual. The human being’s will is always taken into account, i.e., he is allotted the lot which his will strives for. And since people are only matter-hunters in the last days, they themselves become what they desire …. hardest matter encloses their soul and no longer releases it, until again through God’s will the spiritual is redeemed from hardest form, until it is mature to dwell in less hard deformation and now slowly develops upwards in the state of compulsion until it again enters the stage as a human being where it can finally redeem itself if it wants to. But the period of time of such a developmental period is so long that the human being cannot perceive an obvious end of creation in his short earthly life (time) and therefore does not want to acknowledge an end of a period, a spiritual turning point, and therefore does not take his spiritual development seriously either. And thus humanity also now does not want to believe that it is close to the end of an earth period, and it does not recognize the great danger which is lurking for it …. they don’t know or don’t want to believe that the earth will devour all those who are still closely connected to matter, so that they completely forget God about it. They don’t want to believe it and will therefore be surprised when all signs point to the fact that the day is approaching, that the earth will experience its last days. For God will obviously still appear before then, and anyone who is not completely hardened will also recognize Him. But most people have to expect the fate which has been announced to them, that the earth will open up and devour what cannot exist in God’s sight …. And a new earth will emerge which is inhabited by those who remain faithful to God and persevere in greatest adversity until the end because they believe in Him and in His word ….

Conditions in the beyond ….
B.D. 4820 from January 19th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Once you have walked through the gate of death you will no longer feel your earthly shell but will be able to move about easily and freely, you will not be prevented from going wherever you want, you will not be forced in any way. And yet, this state can be painful for you too, namely, when you find yourselves in darkness, when there is no light and you are unable to see anything. This spiritual blindness is coupled with complete helplessness and a weakness of will which is unable to shake off its lethargy. Hence you will not be influenced by anything externally perceptible, but there can still be a limitation within yourselves which will prevent you from living, that is to say, from actively working in accordance with God’s will, which all light-receptive souls may do when they leave earth, and who will therefore be placed into a kingdom where they may behold ever increasing beauty.
To dwell in this magnificent kingdom is immensely blissful for the souls of the dead, for they will leave all worldliness, difficulty, misery and imperfection behind and will be united by love with spiritual beings who are full of love, wisdom and strength. And the soul will take part in this now, ever new discoveries will enchant its spiritual senses, it will behold creations of exceptionally marvellous shapes which cannot be compared to earthly creations. Furthermore, it will no longer be subject to time and space, it will be able to stay wherever it wants and can move into the past as well as into the future. Once the soul has reached perfection, that is, once it has entered the kingdom of light, it is no longer bound to the law of space and time.
Yet even there the degrees of light differ, which stimulate ever greater aspiration and also unite the beings to shape and work with combined strength. The activity in love is a supreme law in this kingdom as well, for this reason the beings of light help each other in perfect harmony, giving happiness and receiving it in turn. Their constant effort, however, concerns the souls in darkness, whom they know to suffer utmost hardship and whom they want to help through teaching.
There is no impulse of life in areas of spiritual darkness, the beings are totally apathetic if they are not burning with rage, thirsting for revenge and engaging in constant fighting with one another. The latter need an endless time until they calm down and fall into a lethargic state. But only then can they be helped by the beings of light. In contrast to these, the imperfect beings are mainly full of selfishness and therefore unapproachable for teachings concerning the commandment of love. However, having ample patience the beings of light never tire of helping them, so that it almost always will result in spiritual progress after the beings have discarded their vicious instincts and no longer attempt to tear each other apart. The state of lethargy is at all times the preliminary state of awakening from sleep, and it only requires some loving support so that these beings, too, will catch a gleam of light and begin to see. Yet it will often take a long time, because free will takes precedence in the spiritual kingdom too, which may not be forced if the being is to achieve beatitude.
Amen

Grace of inner enlightenment ….
B.D. 4821 from January 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
The grace of inner enlightenment proves the right relationship with Me, otherwise My spirit could not express itself in the human being, for the child can only hear the father’s voice where it has entered into the right relationship with the father. As spiritual living beings with consciousness and free will you humans carry a tiny spark of My spirit of God within you, yet as long as you are isolated from Me your will is not yet directed towards Me. But until then this spiritual spark is inactive, it slumbers in an envelope which makes its activity impossible, because divine strength does not forcefully assert itself but only becomes effective when it no longer finds resistance. And even if I am in you to a certain extent, because this spiritual spark is My share, you still cannot feel anything from Me as long as you don’t want to feel anything. Only your will creates the right state, only your will has to establish the right relationship between child and father, then the union of the spiritual spark with the father-spirit will also be established and then the child will hear every expression of the father through the spirit within itself. But anyone who approaches the father as a child also does His will, and thus a person’s way of life who wants to hear My voice within himself must also correspond to My will, and anyone who does the father’s will also has His love, which again affects the soul as strength and helps it to attain perfection. The strength now expresses itself in the form of My word, in enlightened thinking and speaking …. in the ability to receive My word and to be the proclaimer of My word to fellow human beings again. Everything the human being does for the kingdom of God, every spiritual work, is the evidence of inflowing strength from Me, which is therefore utilized in the work for Me and My kingdom and results in increased maturity of soul for the human being himself. Hence you should not expect a physical feeling of strength when the supply of strength is mentioned, instead, you must consider your spiritual development, the progress in knowledge, the gift of teaching or enlightening fellow human beings as the effect of the transmission of strength from Me, and then you will also recognize the truth of My word and draw strength from the word itself, because it secures increased knowledge for you, with which you can again be eagerly active for My kingdom. But the supply of strength is also noticeable physically because I increase every child’s earthly strength if it wants to use this strength for the father. Even if My servants on earth are not spared the tests of faith I will not let them become incapable of work by diminishing their vitality. For their tasks are important and their help for their fellow human beings urgently necessary, therefore I also provide My servants on earth with earthly strength so that they can also carry out the work in My vineyard. For the last days require fit and faithful workers who are so intimately united with Me that I can work in them through the spirit; for they shall serve as an example to all who are willing to establish the right relationship with Me, to all who want to come to the father as children and speak to Him. They shall give evidence that the father is inclined towards every child which comes to Him in love and lives in accordance with His will. For My love longs for the creations which came forth from Me and which I eternally don’t want to lose ….
Amen

God's plan of salvation ….
B.D. 4822 from January 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
What has been decided in My plan of salvation will irrevocably take place, for My wisdom recognized the necessity of it in order to bring to perfection what once had become apostate to Me. The time for every event has been determined since eternity, because the will of the spirit has also been apparent to Me since eternity, so that I also recognized the length of time in which a process of development is to be regarded as finished or failed, which is why new phases of development always begin when no results are achieved. Since it is therefore now clearly before Me that and when people fail, it has been determined since eternity when a new earth period begins and the old one is therefore finished. And this point in time is held in abeyance because a departure from it would only have an evil effect on the spiritual and My constant concern only applies to these beings which are in dire need due to their imperfection …. (23.1.1950) The end of an earth period is therefore fixed in time and cannot be postponed by human will, yet human will can shape the way of the end of a developmental period into a less painful one if it would be willing to subordinate itself to My will, so that the destruction of the old earth would affect the spiritual substances still bound in the creations, whereas the human being who endeavours to live according to My will could reap the reward in a painless passage into the spiritual kingdom or even in a sudden transfer to a newly emerged creation. A will which submits to Me does not need such sharp means of education and the time of the end of the earth could approach for people without any horror. But people can no longer stop it from coming despite a possible change of will. For this has been determined since eternity. People can certainly shake off their belief in it, but then only to their own detriment. But if a person believes he can reduce the horrors for himself, even if he cannot completely avert them for the sake of his fellow human beings. Yet as soon as he submits to My will as an individual he is under My special protection, and that which completely opposes Me together with its lord cannot harm his soul, even though he is also earthly oppressed. Yet such a believing person is strong for himself because My strength flows through him and he feels safe and secure in My protection. I inform My own of My eternal plan of salvation, I announce the near end to them, I draw their attention to the signs of it and give them the promise of My help, My presence and My coming in greatest adversity. And anyone who believes these words of Mine will survive the time of the end without harm to his soul, he will not need to worry, for his faith gives him the expectation of My help, his faith gives him strength and grace to remain faithful to Me and persevere until the end ….
Amen

Purpose of creation …. re-creation in matter ….
B.D. 4823 from January 25th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
An exceedingly wise creator was at work when the fallen spirit was in utmost remoteness from God and had cut off its own way back to Him by committing the gravest sin, by spurning His strength of love in arrogance and lust for power. God’s infinite love thought of ways and means to lead this spiritual being, which had become sinful, back to Himself again, and His wisdom recognized a path for success …. the path through the whole of creation, through forms which had to serve each other and thus fulfil the purpose set for them. Thus His love and wisdom formed outer shells for the fallen spiritual substance out of His strength which were intended to stimulate it into serviceable activity, and these works of creation were intended to bring about a gradual upward development by enabling the spiritual substance to serve in them in a state of compulsion, so to speak, and thereby reducing the distance from God more and more. These forms, thus divine works of creation, are so versatile that they can shelter all immature spiritual substances, thus through their natural growth and decay they can also receive the most diverse spiritual entities and release them again until these entities have reached a certain degree of maturity. The divine creator saw all possibilities of a maturing process, and that is why creation is so versatile and includes works of creation in all degrees of maturity, yet it is only apparent to Him what success the spiritual being can achieve, He alone knows about the many stages it has to go through until it reaches the stage of free will as a human being. He determines the duration of every creation, He determines the activity of every work, and He alone recognizes the degree of maturity which then makes embodiment as a human being possible. But He also saw the negative successes, He saw the spiritual being, which was already almost close to Him, sink back into the abyss again because it had free will at its disposal, which God respects but which the being abuses again …. His creations testify to unsurpassable wisdom, thus there are paths of development to be taken which could guarantee certain success, yet He leaves the human being complete freedom, He does not force him to acknowledge Him and subordinate himself to Him, just as He, however, does not completely abandon the being to His adversary either but constantly endeavours to help it up so that it will become blissfully happy. God’s infinite love and unsurpassable wisdom certainly recognizes and creates all possibilities for the spiritual being’s perfection, yet free will is decisive as to whether the ascent development in the stage as a human being proceeds or the spiritual being remains in resistance and sinks into the abyss again and has to start the course of development anew.
(26.1.1950) The re-emergence into solid matter only takes place when a period of creation has found its conclusion, when therefore all creations release the spiritual, when they are dissolved for this purpose by God’s will, which means destruction of that work of creation where the ascent development has begun. God’s wisdom and love lets new creations arise again, which are again suitable through their assigned purpose to help the spiritual bound in them to higher development. Then the interrupted course of development is continued, again with the same aim, the stage of free will as a human being, where perfection or renewed apostasy can take place because God’s love approaches the being again and can be accepted or also rejected. In God’s sight a thousand years are like a day, and with infinite long-suffering and patience He looks after the beings, and if innumerable phases of development are necessary so a being remains particularly stubborn in its resistance to Him …. Again and again He gives it new opportunities until it has finally reached its aim, until it has found its way back to the one from Whom it once took its origin ….

He who does not leave God, will not be left by Him either ….
B.D. 4824 from January 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Don’t leave Me if you don’t want to be abandoned by Me, for I don’t keep anyone who leaves Me, yet his path is then no longer Mine, it leads away from Me and ends in loneliness. Only he who stays with Me is certain of his aim …. it is eternal life …. But what use is a life on earth if you pass away without Me …. It can certainly offer you earthly pleasures, it can be a life entirely according to your wishes, you can possess everything you desire, yet if you live it without Me then someone else will take My place, then someone will constantly stand by your side who will never let you go and who will push you onto a path which, although it seems extremely appealing to you, will nevertheless lead into darkness. And darkness is your reward if you leave Me …. I certainly love you but I will not keep you if you want to separate yourselves from Me, for what I require of you is only your love, which you should give to Me of your own free will. But then you will truly find deepest reciprocated love and this will also make you happy on earth. But if you separate yourselves from Me it is also your free will and you will not be hindered by Me, even though I know that it is not a blessing for you. True life can only be with Me, true life can only be given to you by My love. Hence, if you live on earth without Me you are in truth dead, you only live an illusory life which My adversary helps you to achieve; he deceives you into believing that you live but in truth you are dead, for I alone am life and I alone can give you life, because I alone distribute the true strength of life which only requires love for Me in order to be received. But anyone who loves Me does not leave Me, and I will not leave him for ever either. Anyone who chooses Me as his companion will truly not lose his strength, for life flows forth from Me and flows to the one who walks with Me because he loves Me ….
Amen

Unbelief and devils during the last days …. Battle of faith …. The coming of the Lord ….
B.D. 4825 from January 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
The lack of belief during the last days before the end will have alarming consequences, since people will only chase after profit and never remember a God. Then people will equally try to cheat and outsmart each other, for the sake of matter they will increase all evil instincts, their lack of conscience will not hesitate to harm their neighbour as long as it is to their own advantage. They will solely think and strive towards increasing their possessions …. God, however, will be forgotten, they will neither believe in Him nor fear Him, they won’t believe in their future accountability and punishment for their sins, and thus they will sin without hesitation and fear of a Judge. In an earthly way they will be prosperous, because they are supported by God’s adversary who impels them to ever more greed for material possessions. He will have great power where faith in God does not exist; this is why unbelief is exceedingly dangerous for people, because this will move them closer to devastation. Where faith is missing there is no love either, since only this would be able to revive their faith. Where love is missing, people are spiritually blind, they don’t know anything, and what they know is untrue. Darkness is spread across the human race and the earth is approaching the end …. From a secular point of view, there is no adversity, people are living in prosperity apart from the few whose faith is still firm and who will be treated with hostility by the former. Although their fate will indeed be harsh for a short time, they will recognise the most unmistakable sign of the end in their unbelieving fellow human beings’ prosperity, because they were informed of it in advance so that they will bear up against the adversity they experience as a result of their faith in God …. When the time of Satan’s obvious reign has come, the end will not be far away either, for it also has been proclaimed in advance that the world will be full of devils, and people who do not believe will likewise behave like devils and therefore declare bitter war against the believers. But then the coming of the Lord will not be far away anymore, then every day might bring the end, because the Lord will come when the adversity is so great that they will fear to lose heart …. when Satan believes that he has won, when unbelief abounds to such an extent that the believers must fear for their lives. Then the Saviour will come from above, as it has been proclaimed …. He will come in the clouds and fetch His Own into the realm of peace and implement a final Judgment on earth. This will be the end, when Satan will be enchained and, with him, all those who were enslaved by him …. And a new Earth will arise which will only be occupied by profoundly devout people, people, who will remain faithful to God during the last battle of faith and thus receive their reward …. a life in the paradise on the new Earth ….
Amen

God's extraordinary gift of grace ….
B.D. 4826 from January 30th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You can always be certain that you will receive an extraordinary gift of grace if the evidence of My love for you comes to you from above, and that you can therefore already attain a high degree of maturity of soul on earth if only you use the gift of grace correctly. I establish a relationship with you which is indeed the right one from eternity, yet it is not your love for Me which gives rise to it, as it should be, but My greater than great love takes hold of you who do not find your way to Me of your own accord. And My word is the proof of this, for I speak to you as a father speaks to his children; I lovingly present your spiritual adversity to you and warn and admonish you, I give you advice as to what you should do and what you should refrain from doing; I so openly inform you of My will that you only need to live accordingly in order to acquire My love. Thus I also come to the unworthy and approach him through My word …. I help him to become worthy of My love. I offer you a gift of immeasurable value, for you yourselves do nothing to acquire this gift. Yet without your will to work with My gift of grace you will hardly feel any blessing from it, and thus it is still up to you to experience the effect of My proof of love. Everyone has to become active himself if My word is to bring him the blessing which will help him to ascend. I let much grace flow down to you, yet you may not withdraw from this flow of grace, you must open yourselves so that the grace flows into the centre of your heart, then you will feel My love, you will live out My word, the soul will be at an advantage, it will mature in a short time, it will love Me again with all its strength and thereby be filled with strength itself. For this is My purpose, that through My evidence of love from above you will recognize that I am your father from eternity Who loves His children and also wants to win their love …. that He will give you a gift of grace which shall lead you back to Him so that you will remain with Him for all eternity ….
Amen

Strong faith result of love ….
B.D. 4827 from January 31th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You draw the strength to believe from your love for Me, or love brings faith to life. Everything will appear to you close to its essence, thus no longer unreal, as soon as love fills you, yet you can only understand this if you have love within yourselves, otherwise they are only words which have no life in them. Again and again I can only point out to you that strength emerges from love, that you are able to do everything if you live in love and thus can also believe deeply, that you then call a living faith your own. I can only answer every prayer to Me for strength of faith with the words: Love Me, then you will also be able to believe …. and love for Me includes love for your neighbour. Therefore you only have to be good and helpful towards your neighbour and your faith will grow into that strength which is unshakeable and withstands every onslaught. But if you have a deep, unshakeable faith then you will also feel Me near you, then I will always be present to you and you will be aware of it. As soon as you are able to speak to Me like a child speaks to its father, your faith will also be strong and alive, for you will only speak to the one Whom you acknowledge, and you prove your faith in Me through prayer in spirit and in truth, and if you then practice the intimate dialogue with Me for a long time, you will no longer be able to doubt either My word or My love, nor anything else which seems unacceptable to you. Then you will believe everything because you feel that your father only speaks the truth and that He loves His children. And because you believe in Me you will also do everything I ask of you, you will live as it is pleasing to Me …. Love will fill your whole being …. Then the union with Me will take place, then spiritual life will have become a reality for you, whereas earthly life will pass you by like a dream state, then you will be so firmly united with Me that a separation from Me will no longer be possible, then you will no longer be able to speak of faith but everything will be knowledge, realization, light for you. Every doubt, every unbelief is eliminated, you are completely permeated by Me and have returned to the original state which signifies light and strength and bliss for all eternity ….
Amen

Need of reapers at the time of harvest ….
B.D. 4828 from February 2nd 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Many labourers will be needed when it is time to harvest and therefore I welcome everyone who offers His services to Me. And everyone will be assigned a place according to his ability where he can work and do his best to fulfil his duty. I will reject no-one because the work before the end is urgently needed and because I cannot have enough reapers when it is time to harvest. However, they must grant Me their will and their loyalty, they must support their Lord as suitable labourers and always accept His instructions with a firm determination to comply with them and thus to serve Me faithfully. Yet they should not only comply with My will but also adopt this will as their own, that is, they should be convinced that they can only help their fellow human beings through their work, that their spiritual work will not merely be accomplished mechanically or on My behalf but that they enjoy it themselves because they realise that only this work will profit the soul. Everything My labourers do for Me and for My kingdom must be carried out with utter conviction, eager dedication and love, only then will they be the true servants I have chosen to work for Me. Anyone who purely complies with his task under pressure will not gain any benefit from it, he will not be able to be the right leader of the blind because he cannot see himself. Being of service to Me means to be lovingly active for one’s fellow human beings in order to help them spiritually and physically in their adversity. For that is what I do in My love, yet My servants shall do this instead of Me, they shall represent Me, thus fulfil their Lord’s will if He cannot express Himself because people would be unable to endure My presence on account of their immature state of soul. To these I must speak through a human mouth and, for this purpose, diligent servants should lend Me their mouths so that I can talk to the former if they require My Word. There is much work to be done in My vineyard, there are many fallow fields, human hearts, which shall be made receptive for the pure seed, for the Gospel which originates from Me and which shall lead people back to Me. So anyone who spreads My Gospel, who enlightens people and enables them to accept My Word, who instils love in their hearts and thus makes them receptive for Me Myself, is My labourer and serves Me well and He will already be blessed on Earth and, one day, in the spiritual kingdom, for he helps to save many souls from eternal death. He spreads light and thereby illuminates the path to Me, the path to eternal life ….
Amen

Sacrificing time for God and spiritual work ….
B.D. 4829 from February 4th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Offer Me your time, remember that it is I Who gives it to you and Who demands of you that you not only remember the world but also Him. Anyone who wants to serve Me must be willing to sacrifice everything for Me, and thus he must also always be ready for Me, i.e. he must want to be active as My servant for Me at all times if I require his services. Thus he has to put everything else aside when it concerns working for Me, when he feels that I want to speak to him or send people in his way to whom I want to make Myself known. Before every work for the world, before every earthly activity, he should direct his thoughts towards Me, and if his striving towards Me is serious then he feels the inner urge within himself for a work which is My will to accomplish. But he must want to hear My instructions, he must come to Me before every earthly activity so that I will bless it for him. If I now require him to do work for Me and My kingdom, then I instruct him to do it and he willingly complies with this instruction, i.e. he does what he feels inwardly urged to do. Thus the first condition is that a person wants to serve Me. Anyone who claims a lack of time has no serious will to work for Me, for he will always find time for what makes him happy if he seriously wants it. Anyone who desires to hear Me must not be deprived of this gift of grace, and as soon as I recognize his desire for My word I will always find ways and means to express Myself to him …. I give him the time as soon as I recognize his serious desire for dialogue with Me. The people of the world cannot and will not understand that I am lord over time and that I distribute it as I will …. that I can shorten or lengthen time, that I can make the human being efficient, but also that I let time pass uselessly through obstacles or the failure of all work if it is My will. How can you humans then complain about a lack of time if you shorten it yourselves because you don’t invoke My blessing? What you sacrifice to Me I give back to you a hundredfold, and again and again I tell you that I spiritually and earthly bless every sacrifice that is brought to Me by blessing its work and it will truly achieve more and also gather spiritual treasures which are inaccessible to the only earthly creator. But anyone who only sees the world, who only devotes all his strength and time to it, will only have achieved little in the end, for he will lose what he possesses on earth and nothing can replace the lost time which he certainly believes to have used, which is why he withheld it from Me and acquired nothing for eternity ….

Battle between light and darkness ….
B.D. 4830 from February 5th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
A constant battle rages between light and darkness, and there is not a being on earth which does not feel this battle, for no being is free but oppressed by some force which it has to defend itself against. The human being feels this struggle the most because he becomes aware that he is in bondage, because what he strives for is something other than what he experiences. Only, as a human being, he can also kill this consciousness, or he can strive for the same thing, which grants him life …. Then he stands on the side of the power of darkness, for the power of light grants something other than what earthly life gives. Man must fight against the earthly because it belongs to the kingdom of darkness; man must fight for the kingdom of light, he must stand on the side of the power which is light itself. The struggle between light and darkness is therefore synonymous with the struggle of the spiritual from the depths to the height, it is synonymous with the overcoming of earthly matter on the part of man in order to attain spiritual good …. Furthermore, it is synonymous with the transformation of the being, which is initially full of urges and desires, into love with all its virtues. It means, as it were, the transformation of the spiritual being, which acknowledged the adversary of God as lord and now detaches itself from him in order to belong to God …. It therefore means that God Himself confronts His adversary in order to wrest from him the spiritual which the latter wants to appropriate illegally …. And the light will be victorious …. God will conquer His adversary, with His help He will assist all spiritual beings so that they will release themselves from his control, He and with Him all spiritual beings full of light will stand on the side of the helpless spiritual beings enslaved by God’s adversary in order to redeem them …. The power of God and of light alone would suffice to render the adversary harmless and to lead the spiritual substance to the light, yet the adversary’s free will stands in opposition to this, and therefore a battle must be waged, not in order to break the will but in order to change it …. But such a battle can only be won through love …. otherwise it would have ended long ago with success. Yet this battle between light and darkness is not decided by power but only by love, which must be so strong that it bends the will, that the will allows itself to be defeated by love. Love wrests from the adversary what he holds bound, love is the weapon of battle that the adversary is no match for …. Love is God Himself to Whom he must submit. Where love is weak God’s adversary has the upper hand, darkness rages there and seeks to displace the light. Earthly life is a path through dark territory which has to be illuminated by the human being himself, who has to shape himself into love in order to chase away the darkness around him. He himself must lead the battle against darkness, against everything that is part of God’s adversary as being connected to earth. He must let love flare up in him, and since this signifies the presence of God Himself, he will pass every battle against darkness victoriously …. The human being himself brings the battle of light against darkness to an end, yet only ever with the help of God and the beings of light, whom he makes his fellow combatants through love, who win every battle against the darkness ….
Amen

Professing Jesus before the world …. Voicing the name of Jesus ….
B.D. 4831 from February 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Profess Me and don’t hesitate to frankly mention My name when your attitude regarding your faith and Me is demanded of you. For your heartfelt avowal draws Me Myself to your side and all fear will leave you, you will speak candidly and without inhibition about matters of faith, about My teaching, about My working in you and on your behalf and also about the future. Then you will pull down a wall, a wall of silence, behind which much can be concealed and which is therefore suitable for covering-up the truth. Speak fearlessly wherever it may be, for I Myself will take you to where you will be asked to profess Me. Not much more time will pass until you, who still believe in a God, in life after death, will be mocked by the world, for increasingly more worldly people fall away and everything that is neither visible nor tangible is unreal to them. These worldly people will develop an open enmity towards the believers who, as a constant target, can barely protect themselves against the animosities. Nevertheless, it should not make you fearful, it must happen like this because the time is fulfilled when a separation between My Own and the supporters of My adversary takes place, who aims to stifle all faith in Me and by whom they are enslaved. You should know that I Myself Am with you, both in spirit as well as visibly, where necessary …. Know, that you are far stronger than they are, even if there are more of them. For as long as I fight by your side no-one will ever be able to defeat you. Yet you must openly and confidently stand up for Me, so that the enemy will recognise Who provides you with strength, because it will be obvious that you receive exceptional help. Simply voice My name with complete faith if you are being pressured, confront your assailants with My name, call upon Me with your heart and mouth and fear no earthly power …. and I will provide strength to all those of good will, to all who want to be My Own, as I have promised. In the name of your divine Redeemer you possess a weapon which truly cannot be surpassed, because all My love belongs to every person who manages to find faith in Me during the last days …. And anyone who professes Me before the world also proves his unwavering faith to Me and I will take particular care of him. Soon you will be forced to confirm or reject Me, then don’t fear the worldly power, instead, merely remember My Words: Whosoever therefore shall profess Me before men, him I will also profess before My Father …. You will be forced to make a decision for Jesus Christ or against Him. Then gladly profess Him before the world, for you can only reach Me through Jesus, only through faith in His act of Salvation and His help can you come close to Me, the Father, Whose love wants to unite itself with everyone as it united with Jesus, Who redeemed the world from sin on account of His infinite love ….

Testing the power of faith …. miracle healings ….
B.D. 4832 from February 7th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You must test the strength of faith so that you can also represent the truth of My word to the world. As soon as you have living faith yourselves, as soon as you know that I hear every prayer which is sent up to Me in complete trust, you can ask Me for whatever you want; your faith itself guarantees you fulfilment. Only the request must arise from a loving heart, thus what you ask for must serve your neighbour’s well-being, it must be based on love for him and never arise from self-love. Put every test of faith to the test …. Where your help is needed, grant it, and what you are unable to do with your own strength, bring it to Me and request the necessary strength for it. Know that I will never withhold it from you if only you believe and want to work with love. Pure, unselfish love must prompt you to help me, then you will be full of strength and no longer doubt the success of what would otherwise be impossible for you as a mere human being. Every doubt, every timidity, every inhibition is the result of too weak faith. Then I cannot fulfil your prayer, otherwise I would be unfaithful to Myself, Who made the fulfilment dependent on a strong faith. The strength should come from yourselves so that your fellow human beings will recognize what a strong faith is capable of. Faith can move mountains …. But such faith is no longer to be found amongst you humans, and therefore these words seem like a figure of speech to you. But you can put yourselves to the test at any time if only you let Me be present in you through love, which then also makes your faith strong and unshakeable through its strength. If you feel Me Myself within you, not the slightest doubt of success will befall you, and then you will work with Me and nothing can fail you. Then every deed will certainly be considered a miracle in the eyes of the world, yet it is only the natural result of an intimate union with Me, Who now also makes you recipients of strength to an unlimited extent. Believe and put your faith to the test and prove to your fellow human beings the power of faith …. not in order to work miracles but in merciful neighbourly love you should use this strength of faith which truly lets you be powerful, because it is I Whom you now cause to express strength and Who will never ever let a strong faith fail. People will approach you asking for help, don’t refuse their requests, help them by laying your hands on them in My name. By doing so, also help them to firmly believe and teach them that faith only comes alive through love. I place great hope in you, My disciples of the end time, to still win souls which find their way back to faith for the sake of the faith you possess and which proves My existence to them. Help these souls, for you are able to do so if only you intimately unite with Me in order to receive strength from Me which enables you to achieve every feat …. Try out the strength of faith yourselves and you will be able to work for the blessing of your fellow human beings for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Voice of conscience …. commandment of love …. knowledge ….
B.D. 4833 from February 8th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
I will provide you with what you need on earth to reach the aim in the richest measure so that the maturing of your soul will not be impossible for you. But I have also known for eternity the measure of grace needed for each individual …. I therefore also know which means are useful to him and how he adapts to them. Hence also the different fates of life, but they are all paths to the aim, to the final perfection, if the human being treads them and strives upwards. Life on earth consists for each one in a different activity, which brings him success or failure. The most diverse occupations produce striving people who are intent on earthly success, who therefore also make different demands on life according to their successes, which, however, are mostly for the well-being of the body. However, this earthly striving does not result in spiritual advancement, which is why this is completely independent of a person’s living conditions and ability. Only a way of life according to My will is necessary in order to progress spiritually, and every person can lead this way of life, whether poor or rich, whether high or low, whether young or old, whether clever or limited in his knowledge. I have placed a reminder in people’s hearts so that everyone also knows by himself what is good or evil, because he knows exactly how every action affects himself. Whoever heeds this admonisher, whoever listens to the voice of his conscience, will also take the right path that leads to the aim. But the voice of conscience is first formed through education, through teachings, through receiving My word, in short, through knowledge which is imparted to each one of you through the gospel which is proclaimed to you through word and scripture. This gospel makes My will known to you, which is summarized in one commandment: Love God above all things and your neighbour as yourself. Whoever fulfils this commandment lives in My order and his spiritual ascent is certain. He can also be without deeper knowledge, yet his soul will mature from …. But he can also receive knowledge from Me …. People are considered according to how they want to utilize the grace they receive …. He who wants to hand out much will receive much; but he who only lives for himself, yet this in My eternal order, will also be able to be ignorant on earth, yet he will not be empty of spiritual possessions, for he will stand in brightest light, thus he will be knowledgeable and powerful as soon as he discards his physical cover. To become perfect on earth does not require special knowledge but only the will to unselfish neighbourly love, and this can be mustered by every person who strives for more, who listens to the admonisher in his heart, who fulfils My will because he feels that he is only pleasing to Me if he is good to his fellow human beings of his own accord, if he shows Me and his neighbour the love I demand of him and therefore have given people the commandment of love as the most important commandment ….
Amen

The right, lawful marriage before God ….
B.D. 4834 from February 10th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Marital togetherness absolutely necessitates God’s blessing otherwise the marriage may well be lawful on earth but not in heaven. Anyone joining together on earth without believing in the Creator and Provider of all things, in the God and Father of eternity, will not be able to claim God’s blessing. He does not acknowledge God, and thus God will not acknowledge a bond either, even though it was legally joined on earth, i.e. all required formalities for a marriage ceremony were complied with. Only when both step before God with the plea to bless their bond, when both acknowledge God as their Lord, to Whom they will be striving in love, can they be assured of His blessing, for God is present where He is desired. He is effectively witness to a marriage which is based on love for one another …. And thus it is quite understandable that only few marriages are able to make the claim to be joined before God, since not even a ceremony in church will replace the fulfilment of God’s required terms. Because a church ceremony can also be performed by people who marry without love for the sake of earthly advantages, which will not ever be blessed by God.
Marriage is a sacred institution which was set up by God for the procreation of the human race as well as for the mutual maturing of souls who are attracted to each other by love. However, marriage should not be seen as a businesslike union which is to be entered into only to indulge in sensuality or to attain earthly advantages. Marriage is not a state which can be arbitrarily finished or changed either. Anyone who is lawfully joined before God, i.e. who had begged for God’s blessing with mutually agreeing will, remains eternally joined before God and can only be detached by death and experience a temporary separation. But for the most part such marriage partners also unite with each other in the spiritual kingdom and jointly strive towards ascent. The unification of spiritually like-minded souls on earth as well as in the beyond is the greatest joy and goal, and anyone having joined together through love will remain joined for all eternity. But there are only few such right, lawful marriages before God …. And for this reason profound happiness and spiritual agreement is rarely to be found on earth, because due to their sensuality people do not attach any importance to it but are content with purely physical sympathy which, however, can never be called deep love and will never last either. Only those who sincerely request God’s blessing will enter into a right, lawful marriage before God, and they will live in harmony of souls until their physical death and also in eternity ….
Amen

Essential Deity ….
B.D. 4835 from February 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You humans certainly try to imagine Me as the most perfect eing, as the greatest spirit of infinity, yet you will never be able to fathom My being as a human being on earth. You only know limited things because you yourselves are imperfect beings which are bound to a form, and therefore you also imagine the highest entity as a form, albeit to a different extent, luminous and powerful …. You cannot imagine that there is no limit for Me, that I fill the whole universe and yet I am a being …. And what you cannot imagine you do not want to accept as truth. I fill the entire universe with strength which, however, has to have an entity as its original source, because strength works in a constructional way, thus it is applied in the recognition of its effect for the emergence and maintenance of all creation, whether spiritually or earthly visible. All power must therefore be wisely directed, otherwise it would unfold elementally and cause the greatest harm. Thus the original source of strength must be a thinking entity whose wisdom knows every effect and therefore assigns its purpose to every work of creation, which cannot be expected from a strength alone. You must believe in this entity in Me, otherwise I cannot speak to you because you do not listen to My voice. My love for you humans is infinitely great and I would like to reveal Myself to you in My entire nature, yet you would not be able to grasp it and therefore you will only ever have to recognize Me in a veiled form and believe that a being wants to make Itself known to you if only you always wanted to, but you cannot accept this from a force. If you speak to Me as beings on earth, the most powerful being in the universe will also incline towards you …. It hears you and gives you an answer …. Like you it has intellect and free will, only to a degree you cannot imagine. However, I don’t need a form in order to shelter My strength, yet for your sake I took on the form which is conceivable to you as the human being Jesus Christ, because My whole creation has the same form and thus I sheltered the whole fullness of My divinity in this human form, just as the whole of creation also shelters Me, thus I am everywhere because I am an unlimited being Which can be everywhere and also works everywhere. Yet only one being can draw close to you and only one being can fulfil what you request …. You can only strive for a being as a being Itself due to Its perfection, whereas striving for a strength from you would be absurd and eliminate all assistance on My part. For I only consider people where I am called upon as the highest being, otherwise they would not have the right faith in Me and thus could not expect help from Me either. You will never be able to fathom My nature as long as you live on earth, yet you must believe in an essential deity, for only through this faith can you also penetrate this mystery, even if only in the state of perfection, but which you can only attain with My support, which you must request, which therefore irrevocably includes faith in Me as an entity and therefore you can only become blissfully happy through this faith ….
Amen

Spiritual death – new banishment in matter ….
B.D. 4836 from February 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
It is truly better for you to endure bodily death than to fall prey to spiritual death at the end, from which there is only an awakening after an infinitely long time. You can exchange physical life with a life in the spiritual kingdom, and even if you have not yet reached the degree of light you are still given the opportunity to enter the kingdom of light from darkness, whereas spiritual death means that you are deprived of every possibility to still mature in another world. To fall prey to spiritual death means a new banishment into solid matter, a return to the state which was your fate eternities ago and which you had long since overcome when you were allowed to embody yourselves as a human being on earth. Let your earthly life be taken from you and don’t be afraid, for it is only the body which your enemies can kill, but the soul remains alive because it is something spiritual which people cannot kill, especially if people want to kill you because you believe and don’t want to surrender your faith. Then all fear shall fall away from you, then you should only consider that He, Who gave you life, is lord over life and death …. that He therefore will not let anything happen to you other than what is good for your soul. Anyone who loses his life for the sake of faith can calmly give it up, for his soul will be taken into the kingdom of light where it will live eternally in bliss. But woe to those who try to preserve their lives and deny God …. A short time is still granted to them where they pay homage to the world and prove their allegiance to satan. But then death will irrevocably befall them in two ways …. they lose their physical life and are doomed to spiritual death, which is the most bitter fate you humans cannot imagine …. But you will constantly receive warnings and admonitions, you will be made aware of the end, you will be made aware of God’s working in an unusual way. The responsibility towards your soul will be held up to you, you will be made suspicious by world events by seeing the decay of earthly goods, thus the transience of matter, and in the end you will still experience things which God, in His overwhelming love and mercy, will make you aware of in order to still change you in the last hour …. But irrevocably the end comes and with it the fulfilment of what is announced to you. Make sure that your souls live, do not let them fall prey to spiritual death, from which there is no salvation for an infinitely long time ….
Amen

Retribution – Atonement …. Eternal Order …. Forgiveness through Christ ….
B.D. 4837 from February 14th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Retribution exists on this earth for all deeds, both good and bad, you cannot sin with impunity, just as you can’t do something good without being rewarded, yet neither fear of punishment nor the expectation of reward should determine whether you perform an evil deed or a good one. Pure love for your neighbour should prevent you from harming him, instead you should help him, hence be willing to be of service to him, you should do good for the sake of it and abhor evil because it is evil. Thus is My will and corresponds to My eternal order; it is the law of the spiritual and therefore also the earthly kingdom to live in My eternal order so as to be happy, and anyone who revokes this law of order is in a wretched state and will be judged accordingly, that is, he will join those spiritual beings which oppose My will, thus likewise disregard My order. The being will be able to realise its wrong there, if it wants to, and likewise have the opportunity to make up for it. Yet this requires an extraordinarily strong will as soon as the being has departed from earth, whereas on earth it can much more easily realise as well as make
Amends for its wrong doing …. Nevertheless, according to divine justice every wrong doing must be atoned for, and you humans should consider this as long as you live on earth. This is why love is constantly preached to you, this is why the Gospel, the teaching of Christ, is made accessible to you, so that you will reconsider, recognise your wrong doing and make an effort to make
Amends through good deeds, so that you make an effort to live a life of love, which is and forever remains the law of My eternal order. There is retribution, and you can consider yourselves fortunate if you are already allowed to make
Amends on earth, for it is extremely difficult in the beyond to dispose of your guilt, so difficult, that you will need an incomprehensibly long time for it, while on earth you may take refuge in the One Who died on behalf of your guilt of sin …. Yet this always requires the realisation of your guilt and the will to dispose of it through a righteous atonement or through the help of Jesus Christ, Whom you must call upon for forgiveness of your guilt, but this necessitates that you despise it yourselves and have the firm will to become better and to enter My law of eternal order …. to live a life of love according to My will ….
Amen

Reference to great adversity …. Battle of faith …. Admonition ….
B.D. 4838 from February 14th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Not much more time is given to you …. you should know this and live the short time consciously so that it will still be a time of grace for you during which you can prepare yourselves and gather strength for the forthcoming event which will require all your strength. Don’t let yourselves be deceived by the apparent calm and state of peace, for this will change overnight and the conduct of people at whose mercy you are will petrify you. You will not want to believe that the past hardship repeats itself so soon and follow the events in the world with horror; yet believe that you will only be helped if you turn to the One Who is Lord over everything, Who can protect you even from the greatest danger and to Whom you must entrust yourselves if you want to endure the coming time and remain steadfast in the battle which you must fight for the sake of your soul’s salvation. You can still gain much if you make use of the period of rest in order to reinforce your faith, to accept God’s Word and to accumulate spiritual wealth …. yet sooner than you think great adversity will threaten to overcome you if you don’t appeal for strength from above, which requires strong faith from you in order to be able to pray in spirit and in truth. The opportunity to be able to enter into contact with God exists for you at all times, and you should use it before it is too late, for once you get into difficulties you will hardly be able to think straight. This is why you should turn your eyes upwards now and call upon the One Who hears you in every adversity and who wants to and can help you if only you turn to Him with complete trust. Be seriously admonished not to forget about Him so that He will not forget you when you need Him and depend on His help. There is only a little time left, therefore make use of it and gather strength, which God imparts to you through His Word ….
Amen

God's revelation through His creation ….
B.D. 4839 from February 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
God’s clearest language is His work of creation, which bears witness to Him, His love, His wisdom and His power to an unusual degree. Every work is the expression of His love, which is meant for His creatures on the verge of perfection, through which He wants to make Himself known to them. He speaks to His creatures through all His works, He speaks a language which is so powerful that it should be understood by all people if they do not close themselves off to His revelations, which are His works for them. Where wisdom, love and power are expressed, one must speak of a revelation of a being Who is supremely perfect and proves His perfection through His revelations. Creation is the greatest revelation of God, which can no longer be surpassed. Nevertheless, there are people who blindly pass by everything that surrounds them; who also pay no further attention to the miracles of creation and to whom these give no cause for reflection, who therefore do not want to or cannot recognize the creator of all things. God reveals Himself to them in another way in order to help them recognize Himself. He comes closer to them through the fate of life, which clearly shows the intervention of a higher power, but only if the human being wants to recognize. All revelations of God are incomprehensible to the unwilling, the unwilling person is blind and deaf and hears nothing, no matter how clearly it comes to light. He is still inaccessible even if God Himself approaches him through His word, through the greatest evidence of His love for people, which causes Him to express Himself audibly to them. And His word testifies to Himself, His word is the sign of direct contact between God and people who want to accept His word …. His word is the direct revelation of Himself, for only a being Which exists can express Itself such that It is audible; only a being Which wants to be recognized makes Itself known through the word and thereby demonstrates both Its essentiality and the degree of Its perfection ….
(16.2.1950) He comes close to people in such a way that they can recognize their own descent, that they must feel that it is the same being as themselves, only in a degree of perfection which they lack and which is their earthly aim to achieve. He reveals Himself to His creatures …. He speaks to them in various ways but only ever because He wants to be recognized by them as the father of the universe, as the creator and sustainer of all beings and also of matter. He shows Himself to them as the creator of the imperishable as well as the transient and wants to give them the proof that they themselves are imperishable as beings and that they can therefore be true children of their father if they assimilate themselves to Him, also in their essentiality. He reveals Himself to them …. His language is understandable to all if only the will exists to understand Him, His language is full of love and wisdom, whether directly through His word or through His creation, which came into being through His will, His omnipotence. It is a language that no human being can speak, for it is unsurpassable. People can only take note of it and through acknowledgement make themselves worthy of His love; they can hear His word and thereby put themselves in a position to conform to His nature. Then they, too, will bear witness to the fact that they are children of God, then they will have respected His language and increased in knowledge …. in wisdom and love …. Then the revelations of God will have become a blessing for people and will have fulfilled their purpose ….
Amen
