Christ's path to the cross ….
B.D. 4876 from April 8th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Anyone who wants to follow Me will walk a lonely path, misunderstood by his fellow human beings as was My share, too, despite the love I gave to fellow people. Anyone who wants to follow Me will have to accept his cross just as I did, although My eternal love will not let anyone’s cross become as heavy as that of the man Jesus …. He will have to carry it, yet he can ease his burden at any time if he calls upon Me for help. Then I will place the cross on My shoulders and carry it for him, and with Me everything gets easier, with Me he no longer walks on his own, I will empathise and share his suffering and joy at all times; he can always follow his earthly path in silent togetherness with Me, and therefore he will find his cross bearable and humbly submit to his destiny …. I took all of humanity’s suffering on My shoulders as I walked along facing crucifixion and endured unspeakable physical pain. I walked the arduous path that ended with death on the cross for everyone who wanted to follow Me one day. I suffered indescribably as a human being so that people’s suffering would be lessened. I participated in all of humanity’s suffering and carried the cross on its behalf. And anyone who loved Me followed Me …. There were only a few, compared to the whole human race on whose behalf I died, only a few shared My pain, they suffered with Me and for Me. They, too, carried their cross because they followed Me, since their love for Me made them feel all their suffering twice as much. Yet their love was like balm on My wounds which were inflicted on Me by pitiless people; their love increased My will to suffer on behalf of humanity and to bring help to them through My crucifixion. Many followed Me on the way to the place of execution yet only few sympathized with My pain …. Many people live on earth but only few are My disciples …. I died for all people on the cross but only few accept My sacrifice and make use of the attained blessings. Only few people follow Me and yet, only by following Me can they become blessed. Everyone should take his cross upon himself and remember My sacrificial walk to Golgotha, which was almost too difficult for a human being to bear and made Me fall …. But the love of a person came to My aid when I had almost failed as a human being and I made the sacrifice, I emptied the cup of suffering completely ….
And if you humans have to suffer remember My Words ‘Whoever wants to follow Me let him take up his cross ….’ You should know that all suffering you humbly endure in My will is taken into account as a path to the cross which signifies redemption and liberation from all guilt for you …. You should know that you are living on earth in order to release yourselves from guilt, the magnitude of which cannot be estimated by you as human beings, for which I have indeed died in order to lessen it but which every one of you also has to remove, as far as it is within your power, if you want to take part in the act of Salvation which was started by My love with My crucifixion. You humans were only given a small cross to carry because I have taken the heaviest weight from you, but you cannot remain entirely without suffering in order to keep going towards the One Who wants to help you at all times, Whom you should follow so that you will become eternally blessed ….
Amen

Unattainability of God …. Recognising His fundamental nature ….
B.D. 4877 from April 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
No human spirit will be able to grasp Me as long as it has not united with Me, with My eternal Father-Spirit. And this union with Me is an act which necessitates utmost willingness to enter into My will, thus it means conforming to My fundamental nature. Only what has become as one with Me is able to recognise Me, otherwise it is mere faith and not complete realisation. The human being’s spirit certainly has the ability of insight but never by itself, only in unity with Me. It is a spark of My eternal Father-Spirit, it is part of Me which came forth from Me and keeps in permanent contact with Me, but only the human being’s will brings it to a state where it can function. And this will has to subordinate itself to Me, then the spiritual spark can become active in the person. But it can often take a long time until the human being’s will awakens the spirit in himself, and this time is lost for eternity.
The human being’s earthly progress in the state of ignorance is futile for the soul, as then it will only live for the world, it is not yet able to understand the meaning and purpose of its earthly life, it has not yet got in touch with its inner spirit and is completely blind. Only the awakening of the spiritual spark in the person will safeguard the soul’s higher development, its maturing. For the awakened spirit will persuade the soul to turn away from the world and listen to the spirit’s voice, and then there will be a dawning, the darkness will be dispersed by light …. and the spirit will edify the soul about My Being, about My working and My continuous care for My living creation. Then the person’s spirit will guide him into truth, it will convey knowledge to him which he cannot receive from an external source, since it would be presented to him incomprehensibly or he would not be able to grasp it. Then the spirit will persistently urge the soul towards a unification with Me since, being part of Me, it also wants to draw the soul unto itself; hence unification with Me should also become the soul’s aim.
The human being will only start to appreciate My fundamental nature when he has reached a certain degree of maturity, even then he will never be able to fathom it in its full profundity. He cannot grasp it as a human being, and even a being of light is still very distant from Me, although permeated by My strength and therefore blissfully happy. It is impossible to completely ascertain My fundamental nature, for I outshine all other beings of light and strength and therefore I Am incomprehensible to every being, even when it has achieved the highest degree of perfection. If it were possible to comprehend Me, I would not be Infinite, neither in perfection nor in power. Yet precisely this incomprehensibility fills a being of light with bliss, so that it is able to look up to Me and love Me ever more profoundly, so that it will constantly strive towards Me with longing, and will always receive fulfilment of its desire. The fact that I Am unattainable to the being will intensify its love because, in awareness of My unattainability, it will regard My love as the greatest gift.
Yet on the other hand, My living creation is inseparably connected to Me …. Its self-inflicted imperfection, its thoroughly contradictory state to My fundamental nature does not limit My love for it and eternally will not induce Me to disown it, thus to separate Myself from it …. Irrespective of how unattainable I Am to the being, it is nevertheless connected to Me, it belongs to Me, because it originated from My strength and thus is a fundamental part of Myself. And this togetherness shall now find its culmination in the conscious unity on the part of the being. By striving to reach Me it should put itself into the state of bliss because, in order to feel My love and experience it as bliss, the being’s will must be totally inclined towards Me. There must be no opposition in the being whatsoever. It has to want to reach Me in order to be lifted up by Me, and this lifting up, this drawing-to-Me, is a never-ending state in eternity ….
The being will never reach the final goal, yet it will constantly come closer to Me, this certainty is still incomprehensible to you as human beings on earth. However, the being’s bliss rests in its continuous desire and fulfilment …. A completely satisfied being would no longer be able to feel desire and therefore also miss the elation of fulfilment. But I want My children to strive for Me at all times, I constantly want to give to them and therefore also want to be constantly desired …. And thus, as the final goal, I will stimulate the beings into utmost love and yearning, but always remain above My living creations, not due to lack of love but because of My greater than great love, for I want to bestow never-ending joy, because My love can never cease in all eternity ….
Amen

Jesus' forerunner at the end ….
B.D. 4878 from April 13th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Someone amongst you will emerge who shall bear witness of My coming in the clouds. And when you hear him you will know that the end is near. He is one of the purest, he is full of love and kindness and therefore closely united with Me, he is a comforter and friend to you humans, a liberator from emotional distress. He is spiritually illuminated and knows about the Last Judgment, and therefore he will warn and admonish people in My name. He will fight for Me and My kingdom and be fully enlightened. And thus he will also know where the pure truth is represented. Consequently he will emerge from amongst those who receive My teaching from above and, due to his way of life, due to his love for his fellow human beings, he will also be taught from above, because he will still have to accomplish a final task …. to be My forerunner prior to My return. For the time is fulfilled, the predictions of the prophets are coming to pass and thus he, too, will have to appear. He will descend from the kingdom of light to earth for My sake in order to announce Me to people who are suffering utmost adversity and distress.
He will bear witness of Me since his voice will be My voice and anyone who listens to him, listens to Me. However, he will not stay with you humans for long …. Until you recognise him he will indeed live in your midst, but My adversary will persecute him and provoke people against him. He will preach love but people will listen to him with hatred. They will pursue and try to kill him. But I will know how to protect him until his hour has come, for he has to complete his mission, he has to prepare a path for Me, he has to uphold the flock of My children and inform them that the Lord’s return is at hand.
And once he appears, not much time will be left. His words will ignite and arouse the lazy and undecided from their sleep, for he will only be a mouthpiece for Me, through him I want to openly express Myself just one more time. And once again he will be a voice that cries in the wilderness, who will only return because I will need a strong worker in the end, a worker from above to help humanity. Yet the world will hate him and spare no means to eliminate him, even though he will only speak and do good. But the world will have descended into darkness and all lights will have gone out …. Consequently, a bright light will appear on earth and all bearers of light will fetch oil for themselves to brighten their own lights again, which worldly people will endeavour to extinguish. And all people of true faith will recognise him as the forerunner of My return, and they will know that the time is fulfilled when I can be expected and with Me the Last Judgment …. They will take his words to heart because they sense that it is I, Who speaks through him, and that I announce My coming through him, who is My messenger as destined since eternity.
But he will have a difficult time with people who worship the world and reject his admonitions and warnings, yet who will not shy away from trying to kill him in spite of the fact that he will prove himself helpful towards all people and many will also accept his help. The former will want to prevent him from completing his mission but I will not recall him into My kingdom until he has prepared the path for Me, until he has proclaimed My coming to all who long to behold Me and whose faith he has strengthened, because he will only proclaim what he receives from Me through the inner Word, through the remarkable working of the spirit within himself ….
Amen

Fulfilment of predictions made by seers and prophets ….
B.D. 4879 from April 14th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Very soon you will realise that My Word will fulfil itself, because the time has come I have always and forever announced through seers and prophets. They all proclaimed My Word, thus they only expressed what I wanted to tell people, and since I used the prophets as My representatives they were only able to say what I Myself wanted to say. Hence it is certain that these messages will fulfil themselves, because My Word is truth. The believers are merely unsure when My prophesies will come to pass and therefore they are not taken seriously either, for everyone believes that what people were foretold a long time ago will happen in the future. They don’t know when the time will be fulfilled, but neither do they believe that they are living in the midst of this time ….
They believe and yet they do not believe …. They do not reject it, but they do not want to admit it is happening now, and therefore they have become indifferent to their psychological task. But I keep telling you that you do not have much time left to think about it if you do not want to be taken by surprise. You will only be on this earth for a very short time and it is up to you whether you, too, will belong to the inhabitants of the new earth. In that case you will have to believe firmly and resolutely that the end is near and prepare yourselves for this end. You have to live in accordance with My will, then you will discover for yourselves what time you live in. Then you will no longer waste time and also know what fate awaits humanity; and in order not to belong to those unfortunate people who will have to fear the end you will have to join Me and turn your back on everything that belongs to the world.
But if you exist without faith you will only pay attention to the world and will not recognise the gravity of the hour. Then you will be hopelessly lost for an infinitely long time. I can only warn you of the end and remind you to love, but I cannot forcibly convey the understanding and knowledge to you. You are therefore in utmost danger and only because you do not believe the Words, which will be repeatedly proclaimed to you through seers and prophets that the end is near. Yet time and again My love will cross your path in order to guide your thoughts to the end …. My love will let you take painful ways in order to take your eyes off the world …. My love will speak to you through My servants, it wants to save you, nevertheless, it allows you complete freedom ….
Amen

Importance of work for the kingdom of God ….
B.D. 4880 from April 16th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
A sign will be given to you from above when your actual activity is to begin, for you are still only doing the preliminary work of putting yourselves into a state of knowledge and also communicating your knowledge to those who, like you, want to actively participate in the spreading of truth, who are hungry for truth themselves and struggle for it. But your actual activity extends to the giving of the word, which is given to you from above, to all people who step into your path after the great shock they had to experience for the sake of their souls. I will once again sound a great warning cry, and this will be the last before the end …. All who are asleep shall awaken …. but whether they send their eyes upwards or continue to walk along with their eyes averted is up to each individual, yet in the last stretch of their only short life you shall meet them and call out to them that they should walk the path of light and not sink any further into darkness. You should proclaim the gospel to them, yet in its purest form, so that they will not be offended by it, as is now the case due to the many false teachings which are presented to people as the teaching of Christ. You should help them to find the right path, you should lovingly explain to them the cause and purpose of all sorrowful events, you should point them to Me so that they seek contact with Me and take care of all those who are in spiritual hardship, who don’t want to believe or cannot believe …. You should speak to them and I will assist you, I will put the words into your mouth so that they will not miss their effect. This work is so immensely important that I will make you suitable for it and also give you the full understanding of what you should do or not do, where you should speak or remain silent and whom you should particularly take care of, because I know the hearts of all those I lead to you. This time still lies ahead of you and I am training you for this work, therefore you will be active in silence for the time being, you will be able to speak in small circles in order to still recruit workers for Me, because I cannot have enough of them in the coming time, for the time of your activity will only be short. And therefore the work shall be tackled with all diligence so that the short time will be fully utilized for the salvation of the erring and the lukewarm, for the salvation of the unbelievers who can attain faith again if only they are of good will. I will call you Myself when your hour has come and you will gladly and joyfully follow My call …. But then no longer worry about earthly things, for every earthly worry is invalid in view of what I send upon people. Then only spiritual work will be of value and importance, for you cannot secure anything earthly; only what I want will remain with you, and that without any worry on your part. Don’t look back but only forward, give up everything voluntarily, for I will provide you with everything you need if you are active for Me. But I will bless you and your work for Me and My kingdom …. I will pour out My grace so that hearts will awaken and become receptive to My word …. so that all souls who want to be saved by Me will still be saved ….
Amen

Acquiring spiritual goods …. earthly activity …. idleness ….
B.D. 4881 from April 18th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Nothing is more important on earth than the soul’s development upwards. Therefore, every earthly activity should only satisfy you if spiritual work is carried out at the same time, which, as the most necessary activity, must never be disregarded if earthly life is to be successful. For whatever earthly possessions you gain through earthly activity are impermanent possessions which can certainly secure you an earthly life of well-being, but only if My will allows it. You have an earthly task to fulfil which alone should be important to you …. you shall mature spiritually …. And the world, together with everything desirable to you, is only the means to an end; it is the opportunities in which you are to mature. And thus earthly life must indeed be lived in the midst of these things which stimulate and spur you on to earthly activity, yet it must not be an end in itself, you must become and remain aware that you have a higher task to fulfil than merely increasing earthly possessions or creating physical comfort, and only when spiritual work precedes earthly work will you fulfil the purpose of earthly life. And therefore you must always bear in mind that it is not in your power to prolong your earthly life by just one day. Furthermore, you must always reckon with being called away and be aware of the fact that you will then have to leave behind everything you have acquired on earth and may only take over into the beyond what you have acquired in spiritual treasures. And thus every thing is worthless which appears desirable to you on earth, for it is matter which does not follow you into the spiritual kingdom but is always and constantly a share of earth which, however, you only live in for a short time. And since you never know when your time is up you will only act wisely if you use every day to acquire spiritual wealth. Therefore, spiritual activity alone is profitable, even though you should also do your earthly duty and carry out work which is of benefit to your neighbour. One should serve the other …. then every earthly activity is, as it were, a service to the neighbour as long as it is not detrimental to him. For this reason a person must not be idle, otherwise he will not use his vitality and his works of neighbourly love will only be minimal. An idle person will not do spiritual work either, for this requires a heart willing to love, and willingness to love always expresses itself in such a way that the neighbour’s needs, be they of a physical or spiritual nature, are taken into account. What the human being does to serve his fellow human beings is earthly activity which is at the same time credited as spiritual soul work, but earthly work which only strives for one’s own advantage, which is only motivated by self-love, is worthless for eternity. It is uselessly wasted time which can never be recovered, which, moreover, still means a decline for the soul, yet from a purely worldly point of view the greatest advantages are achieved because the human being works with the help of My adversary who provides him with earthly goods to a great extent. Yet such a person enters the spiritual kingdom empty and poor after his death, for he has to leave everything behind on earth and has no spiritual treasures to show for it. His life was lived to no purpose and a sad fate awaits him in the beyond ….
Amen

Call to action …. spreading the truth ….
B.D. 4882 from April 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
When you become aware of your call to work for Me then an inner peace will take hold of you and you will let everything approach you without worrying in the knowledge that everything that comes upon you is My will. And then you will be true representatives of My teaching, then you will feel Me close to you and your thinking will only be spiritually directed; everything earthly will no longer affect you, you will live with Me and no longer with the world, and then your power of persuasion will fill your speech and you will still win people over for My teaching who previously resisted you, for your conviction will make them think and seriously examine it. Every single soul which is still wrested from death is an inestimable gain for which I bless you, and every soul which still awakens to life before the end can count itself amongst the redeemed for whom I died on the cross. For it, too, has overcome death, it is free of every bondage and goes towards a blissful life on the new earth or in the spiritual kingdom, if it is still called away before the end of the old earth. The supply of pure truth is your task, for only pure truth has the right effect on the soul, only pure truth can cause the human being to strive spiritually, for only truth gives a correct image of Me and My being and gives rise to the human being’s desire to come close to Me. And that is why the pure truth has to be brought to them, that is why you first receive the truth from above so that you can distribute it to your fellow human beings who are still without all knowledge. What you can now fully accept yourselves you will also be able to represent to your fellow human beings with conviction. And therefore you must have been instructed before you can take up your teaching ministry, you must know everything yourselves so that you can now enlighten those who are still of dark spirit. And I will make sure that you are suitable for this, after all, I need you as co-workers on earth in the last days before the end, because I can no longer bring the truth to people Myself and therefore have to speak to them through mediators. You shall speak in My stead and I bless everyone who places himself at My disposal so that I can work through him, for humanity is in great spiritual distress and urgently needs help because there is only a short time left until the end ….
Amen

Immense affliction before the end ….
B.D. 4883 from April 22nd 1950, taken from Book No. 55
People everywhere will experience immense affliction when the final adversity before the end starts. Every nation will go through suffering and distress, partly caused through human will, partly through the influences of nature or fateful events, and people everywhere will have the opportunity to place themselves at the service of neighbourly love, for wherever there is adversity it can be alleviated by people who are able and willing to love. All people will be affected apart from those who receive their strength from below, that is, whose hearts are so hardened that they are enslaved by God’s adversary who will provide for them to an exceptional extent. The contrast between good and evil will strongly emerge everywhere, and thus a spiritual battle for people’s souls will also be waged before the end. Spiritual influence will therefore trigger all instincts in the human being during the end time, both good as well as evil will visibly manifest themselves and, therefore, a separation will also be noticeable, for good people will keep away from evil ones and yet will constantly be pursued with hatred, on account of which good, and therefore God-inclined, people will suffer progressively more distress. There will be an extraordinary scale of adversity …. The words of the seers and prophets who have proclaimed this immense affliction for the time of the end can be applied in all instances; it is merely the cause of affliction which will not be the same everywhere. But a separation of the spirits will happen in all places and thus the time of end can be recognised. The earth and the spiritual realm will be the goal of people’s efforts, and anyone aiming for the earth with its possessions will be lost for the spiritual kingdom, he will pay homage to the world and therefore to the one who governs the world. And the majority of people will focus on the world, whereas the spiritual kingdom will only have a few followers; only a small flock compared to the whole of humanity will consciously or unconsciously strive towards God with a will for good and abhorring evil. For this reason there will always be just a small number of spiritual aspirants present among people, at first they will be laughed at and ridiculed by their fellow human beings until people’s evil nature breaks through and expresses itself in hostile actions against all those who abide by God and remain steadfast in faith.
This will be the start of an affliction the world has never before experienced …. Evil will prevail everywhere and suppress good, evil will indulge itself in all places and good will suffer adversity. Until, finally, even the life of God’s faithful followers will be in danger, they will have no more protection because people will reverse the laws, that which is right will no longer be acknowledged and only the power of the stronger will count. And this will be with those whose attitude committed them to Satan. They will be favoured by him throughout their temporal lives, for they will have sold their souls to him in return and will have elevated themselves as masters over the weak, treating them vindictively and denying them all earthly necessities. The extent of distress will be such that the believers will require, and indeed receive, an extraordinary supply of strength so that they will not give up during the final battle, which will only last for a short time and will be shortened for the sake of the chosen, so that they will not weaken in view of the hardship within their own ranks and the affluence in the ranks of the adversary. Then salvation will come to them from above, as it is proclaimed. The Lord Himself will come in the clouds and deliver all those who remain true to Him. The affliction will come to an end and a new life will begin on earth, and God’s faithful followers will receive their reward …. just as Satan’s children will be punished, because God’s justice demands their atonement. It will come to pass as it is written …. The Lord will fetch His Own and place them into a realm of peace, He will pass strict Judgment on all sinners and they, too, will receive what they deserve, and the hardship on earth will be over ….
Amen

Freedom of will ….
B.D. 4884 from April 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Freedom of will is the explanation for everything that seems incomprehensible to the human being and which makes him doubt the nature of God. The still imperfect human being often uses his free will in such a wrong way, but then God does not prevent him from carrying out what his free will wants to do and thus, to a certain extent, gives His approval, i.e. He tolerates what the human being carries out in his imperfection. But He does not approve, even if He does not prevent the human being from doing it.
(25.4.1950) If the human being has freedom of will, he must be able to extend his will and actions downwards as well as upwards, for freedom eliminates every restriction. But man was created with free will, because this is decisive for eternity, for the life of the soul after death. The human being’s free will creates the state in the spiritual kingdom for his soul. God’s will will always be a moving in divine order, an adapting to His law which was decreed in highest perfection, in wisdom and love, so that God’s creatures can live according to these laws and thus develop into perfect beings. But they must also be able to transgress these divine laws by virtue of their free will, because God confronts them with the decision. He does not influence the human being in any way against his will but even complies with his will by not turning away or withdrawing the human being’s strength if he directs his will wrongly and wants to do something which completely contradicts God’s will. Then He does not withdraw His strength but submits to people’s will with His will. And therefore things happen which are not in harmony with the eternal deity, yet even then His wisdom considers the effect of every event in such a way that it can also benefit the human soul’s upward development.
(4/27/1950) God does not touch the human being’s free will, consequently He must also give him the opportunity to express himself and to be able to carry it out. And this always means the granting of power to works which do not necessarily agree with God’s will. Yet God’s wisdom foresees all possibilities of a favourable effect for the human being’s soul; and thus a God-opposing will can unintentionally contribute to a soul’s spiritual ascent, only then this ascent is not attributed to the human being’s wrong will but he has to answer to God for this wrong will, even though a certain blessing has arisen from it in other ways. God directs all destinies, He gives His living creations freedom of will in their human stage, they will always be able to decide in favour of the good and are never compelled to act contrary to God, yet as their will is, so is their thinking and acting, and their fate in the beyond and the degree of perfection resulting from their activity in earthly life will be accordingly ….
Amen

Dissemination of revelations ….
B.D. 4885 from April 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You have been given a certain time to work for Me and My kingdom, and you should use it to the best of your ability. What is given to you by Me from above is only of value if it is spread, because I do not speak to one person alone but through one person to all who want to listen to Me. My word must therefore be brought to them, and it requires the full use of your strength and your will. I have awakened seers and prophets everywhere so that humanity will receive information about the seriousness of the time and the coming last judgment. If they are believed, then people will also prepare themselves. But I cannot force anyone to believe, it is a completely free matter of will, which is why nothing more can happen on My part than to reveal Myself again and again to those who are able to receive My revelations through their will and their way of life. Hence these revelations will only be acknowledged by those who live a loving way of life in accordance with My will. They will also know the value to be attributed to My revelations, and their endeavour will be to take care of their distribution. Where there is a will there is also a way …. Whatever is undertaken in order to make Myself and My working known to people, in order to save fellow human beings from eternal ruin, in order to inform them of the inevitable which humanity is approaching, I bless it, and every possibility can be used, the spreading can happen in many different ways, My blessing will always rest on it, because it is urgently necessary that people take notice of My word which is given to you purely and unadulterated from above. Not for nothing do I speak to people through My spirit, not for nothing do I choose suitable people for Myself through whom I can work in the spirit. Their work should not be regarded and treated lukewarmly and indifferently, for it is always Me to Whom you humans then demonstrate your indifference. Anyone who has My word should pass it on; anyone who receives it from others should likewise work with it as soon as he has recognized it as My word, and anyone who does not recognize it does not belong to My own, yet he should think about it, for one day he will be asked to give an account of how he reacted to the gift of grace I brought to him. And thus every day shall be used, no day shall pass without spiritual work. This applies especially to those who want to participate in the redemption of erring souls. They will receive all support from Me which enables the spreading of the pure truth, and therefore everything that approaches My servants shall be considered in terms of work for Me and My kingdom, for I gather My own together so that they can work unitedly for Me in the last days before the end ….
Amen

Spiritual connectedness …. question and answer ….
B.D. 4886 from April 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You, My servants on earth, will work successfully in constant unity. And therefore consider everything as providence and subordinate yourselves to it, but also pay attention to the voice of your heart, i.e., pay attention to the feelings which move your heart when people approach you, whose spiritual child they are. The strength of love radiates over you, but even evil thinking and striving or hypocritical behaviour is not without effect on a person’s heart, and therefore you should pay attention to the feelings a person triggers in you when he tries to join you. You should not refuse anyone’s request for help, yet joint activity requires spiritual solidarity which will always be present where there is good will. Therefore, always consult Me and I will instruct you correctly as to what you should do and what you should not do. Whoever asks Me will also hear the answer within himself. And thus I will always come to those who come together in the will to serve Me, and I will direct all their steps to where their spiritual work is successful. Anyone who is willing to work for Me and help his fellow human beings will always be able to count on My support, for he is driven by love and thus he is in contact with Me and cannot do otherwise than act correctly. And therefore he will do without hesitation what his heart instills in him, for I Myself speak to him through the heart ….
Amen

Remorse of souls who rejected divine gifts of grace ….
B.D. 4887 from May 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Souls will find themselves in serious spiritual difficulties if they have been approached by Me in the Word and did not accept it as the Father’s voice. For they have the ability to recognise it, they merely lack the will to consider it seriously. Yet one day these souls will realise it and then their remorse of not having utilised My precious gift of grace will be huge and their self-reproaches will be inconceivable torments. Anyone who is offered My gift of grace is in fact being called to work spiritually, because I know his soul’s degree of maturity and want to further its progress. He is capable of understanding as soon as he is willing to live in truth. Hence he will face the crucial decision to either follow eternal truth or the world, and it is then up to his will to choose which path to follow. Consequently, a person who can choose between two directions and voluntarily takes the wrong path has to be answerable for it. The soul is subconsciously aware of this and therefore in difficulty, even if the human being’s intellect wants to dismiss such considerations. Then soul and intellect will argue about significant spiritual disagreements, and blessed is the person whose soul is still able to convince the intellect of its error before it is too late, that is, before the soul leaves its mortal shell.
But if it enters the spiritual kingdom in a state of darkness then it will experience the light, which should have illuminated it, like a fire within itself. For even in a state of ignorance the soul will remain conscious of the fact that it dwells in darkness due to its own fault, because it had fled the light that was ignited by My love and grace. Then it will live in great anguish and long for this immense gift of grace, which it cannot receive again once it has been rejected. Although it can be helped by the beings of light they will not appear to the soul as carriers of light, instead the soul’s free will is tested in a different way, so that it will have to make a crucial decision again …. to follow the souls of light, which do not identify themselves but want to be of help …. or to remain obstinate and decline the light beings’ assistance. Just as the human being on earth is not forced to accept the light that shines to earth from above, the souls’ will in the spiritual kingdom also decides whether they should accept the help that is constantly offered by My eternal love in order to guide them towards progress.
On earth, however, they have an exceptional gift of grace in My Word, which will result in their spiritual maturity with certainty. Therefore, it is irresponsible to ignore My Word which is offered to people from above, and to be indifferent or completely negatively inclined towards it. And, understandably, it has to be extremely depressing for a soul to know that it had ignored the most certain means for attaining eternal life and has to dwell in an unfortunate state in the spiritual sphere of darkness and misery. Yet it was of its own free will, it will have created the pitiful state of its own accord and now either has to endure it or voluntarily strive to change, thus make use of every opportunity My love and mercy provide so that it will still be able to ascend and enter the kingdom of light, if only after an infinitely long time. Only the soul’s will creates its fate in eternity …. its will awakens the soul to life, just as it can cause its spiritual death ….
Amen

The dead shall rise …. guilt of sins ….
B.D. 4888 from May 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Sin will be revealed on the last day …. The dead will also rise in their works, i.e., the souls which are spiritually dead will look back and experience every bad deed, every evil thought and will which they allowed to arise in their earthly life, as if written with fiery script, and then the soul will recognize its own hardness and also that it is not worthy for a life in the kingdom of light, because it will only be pleasing to God when it has complied with His wishes and decrees on earth. (3.5.1950) The dead will rise …. Nothing will remain hidden, good and evil will be revealed, everything man has done and thought on earth will come to light, and woe to those whose deeds were evil …. Every sin will find its retribution, provided it has not been deleted by Jesus Christ, that is, it was already forgiven on earth by the human being who, recognizing his guilt, carried it to the cross of Christ and requested absolution from Him. These are redeemed from sin through Jesus’ exceeding love and grace. And these need not fear the last judgement. But how few are they …. Faith in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation is truly so rare to find, for mere words do not yet testify to Him as long as He is not alive through love. Hence only those people can be considered redeemed through Christ’s blood who live a life of love …. who found Jesus Christ through love and recommended themselves to Him in their spiritual adversity. For only love recognizes Him as God and redeemer of the world; but anyone who does not have love within himself only speaks empty words when he professes his faith in Jesus Christ. Anyone who does not have love within himself will not approach Him in profound humility and confess his guilt to Him, for anyone who does not have love within himself is still a slave to God’s adversary who stands against Jesus Christ and thus prevents his heart from turning towards Him. And therefore much sin will be revealed at the last judgment, only a few will belong to those redeemed through Jesus Christ’s blood, and people’s guilt of sin will be enormous when the dead rise from the graves to justify their actions and thoughts, i.e. when the souls of those will have to confess their guilt because nothing will remain secret any longer what once happened …. All those who died without Jesus Christ, all those who did not acknowledge Him on earth and thus did not avail themselves of the blessings of the act of salvation, will have to answer for themselves, for without living faith in Him they will still dwell in deepest darkness in the beyond, even if endless times pass over it. For they cannot ascend without Jesus Christ because they do not have love within themselves and even in the beyond an ascent is only possible through love. Even in the beyond they still have the opportunity to recognize Jesus Christ, yet only a few change into love of their own free will, only a few take hold of His saving redeemer’s hand when He descends to them in order to help them ascend to Himself …. Without love they don’t recognize Him and don’t let Him help them. For sin pulls them down and holds them in the depths as if with chains. Only One can free them from it, and they do not recognize this One in the blindness which is the consequence of sinfulness. But the last judgement will separate the spirits. Even then the merciful father’s hand will reach out to the sinners, and whoever grasps it and allows himself to be pulled up will be saved from the punishment of hell of a renewed banishment in the solid matter of the new earth. Sin will be revealed and also the will of those who have sinned, and the fate of the souls will be in accordance with this will after the last judgment, for God is a God of love and mercy but also a God of justice ….
Amen

Reference to the end ….
B.D. 4889 from May 4th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You only have a short period of time left …. Time and again I say this to you because you are of weak faith and don’t want to believe that you are living in the last days and that My warnings and admonitions are therefore meant for you. But you should believe it, for it depends on your faith how you use this final time for your soul and its progress. Whatever you do without faith is only done for the world; but this will pass away and all your efforts will be in vain, all commodities will disintegrate and nothing will stay behind which will be useful to you in eternity. You will only keep that which is not of this world; only the spiritual treasures you gathered will remain with you. If you, therefore, believe in a speedy end, then you will no longer create and work for this world, for the body and its requirements, but you will first take care to improve the state of your soul, and thus you will work for your eternal life. The world stops you from doing this work, the world tries to captivate you with earthly pleasure and all kinds of enticements. And fulfilment of earthly wishes always results in a slackening of spiritual work, thus the loss of everlasting spiritual treasures.
For this reason I caution you against the world …. Don’t take more notice of it than is necessary for your earthly life; don’t seek it but avoid it wherever possible; don’t ascribe any value to it other than that it is the necessary means for your maturation on Earth, and don’t let it triumph over you but strive to rise high above the earth. And you will be able to do so once you allow the belief of the near end to come alive in you. Know that I Myself Am talking to you, your God and Father of eternity, and know, that every Word is truth because I tell you so. And therefore, only take care of today and don’t worry what will happen tomorrow, for you worry about useless things and should only take your spiritual maturing and spiritual preparation for eternity seriously. You should always let this be your first concern, then you will not need to fear an end, you will await it calmly and collected and be prepared for My coming at the end of the time which you are still granted to release yourselves from Satan’s shackles ….
Amen

The reward of a life of love, blissful fate in the beyond ….
B.D. 4890 from May 5th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Those of you who heed My will on earth are granted a blissful fate. I expect nothing else from you other than that you conduct yourselves on earth like your Father’s children, that you love and help one another like true children of the same Father do. No other commandment is given to you by Me, for true love includes everything, from true love emerges everything that leads to unification with Me. Consequently, true love is all you need to strive for on earth. Your nature must shape itself into love, it must become again as it once was when it originated from Me, the Eternal Love …. Then you can stay in your true home again, in the kingdom of light, in My presence and illuminated by My strength, which signifies eternal beatitude for you. A blissful fate is granted to you if you respect My will …. Therefore, make My will your own, live in Me and with Me, and My will shall be yours too. To live according to My will is all I expect of you. But anyone who lives according to My will cannot be anything but good, and thus is kindness of heart also the evidence that a person has entered into My will, that he is a true child of his Father. And I watch over My children with all love and care, consequently they can go through earthly life without worry as soon as they feel themselves as My children and are closely united with Me through love, which characterises the human beings as My children. Be kind to each other, support each other in every adversity, try to keep all suffering at bay and help wherever possible. Prove yourselves as My children, and your Father’s love will be your eternal reward ….
Amen

Bridge to God – prayer in spirit and truth ….
B.D. 4891 from May 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
People no longer find the bridge to Me and therefore they are in physical and spiritual adversity. They are no longer in contact with Me because they alienate themselves from Me, because they strive away from Me and this always results in earthly and spiritual adversity, for the former is the consequence and the means to remedy the spiritual adversity. The connection with Me would also secure people the strength to master every earthly adversity, yet without Me they are incapable of overcoming the adversity, without Me they are weak and abandoned. They don’t use the bridge which My love has built for them, they don’t call upon Me, they no longer pray, and therefore I cannot come to their aid because this help requires their free will which they express to Me through heartfelt prayer. In prayer people unite with Me as soon as the prayer rises from the heart to Me. Then they have used the bridge, they have come to Me and present their hardship to Me …. How much easier earthly life could be for you humans if you wanted to come to Me in prayer, Who has shown you a safe path on which you can escape all adversity …. And you pay no attention to this, you are in adversity and misery and yet don’t pray to Me as a father’s true children do. I certainly see your adversity, I could also help you, yet without your will My help would not be a proof of love for you, instead, you would distance yourselves ever further from Me the better you are, and then you would be eternally lost to Me. And thus I have to wait for your call before I intervene to help you if I am not to completely endanger your soul’s salvation. But who comes to Me in prayer …. who is so intimately united with Me that he speaks to Me at all times and presents all his needs to Me? There are only very few, and these shall give their fellow human beings proof that One hears the call which ascends from earth. And therefore they, too, must come to Me in adversity for help, and I will help them so obviously that fellow human beings will be able to recognize the strength which lies in a right prayer in spirit and in truth, which every human being can acquire because My love is unlimited and constantly gives. The right bridge to Me is prayer in spirit and in truth …. This bridge will certainly lead to the aim; a person will never pray in vain who expresses a request in intimate contact with Me, who establishes the right child relationship with the father and who, as a child, also fully trusts the father because he believes in His love. As long as the bridge of prayer is used, there is no adversity which is too great to be remedied. For a believing prayer is able to do everything …. it is able to stimulate My omnipotence and love into utmost activity, because I will not leave a believing person without help even if it seems earthly impossible. Everything is possible for Me and nothing is impracticable or insurmountable for Me. Yet anyone who does not want to take this path of supplication to Me, who stands apart from the bridge and makes no effort to reach Me, will continue to persist in his adversity so that he will realize how weak and incapable he is when it comes to helping himself because he believes he can do without My help. The human being must feel his own inability so that he turns to Him for help, Who is able to do everything and wants everything that is good and Whose love is unlimited, so that He wants to help everyone who comes to Him in his need ….
Amen

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God …."
B.D. 4892 from May 7th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all else shall be added unto you …. Hear what I want to say to you about this statement: You can always rely on My fatherly care if you live according to My will. And My will is that you first think of the soul’s needs before you let earthly worries approach you. However, the way you humans are at present you will not accept My statement, for your faith is so small and weak that it seems impossible for you to be earthly sustained. For you put this earthly life first and only think and create for this. But I want the soul to be considered first, and if you fulfil this condition I will take over the earthly care for you. This is a promise which I did not make in vain at the time of My life on earth, after all, I knew about the ever-increasing craving for matter and also about My remedies which I have to use in order to educate people. I have to let earthly adversity approach them in order to turn their thoughts towards Me, and I wanted to give them the surest means to get rid of earthly adversity. I therefore set a condition …. to seek My kingdom on earth …. the fulfilment of which I wanted to reward with earthly care so that they could carry out the work on their souls completely unburdened. My words were clear and distinct, and they may also be interpreted as they read: I take care of all physical needs as soon as the human being does what earthly life is given to him to do, to increase his soul maturity, to develop spiritually upwards, thus to strive for My kingdom with all eagerness in order to become blissfully happy. But who takes these words of Mine seriously, who shakes off every earthly worry in order to burden Me with it in full faith in My help? There would truly be no need for adversity on earth if these words of Mine were believed, which prove My living creations’ right relationship with Me as their father from eternity and therefore also guarantee fulfilment. Only a few have created the evidence for themselves, only a few seriously strive to acquire My kingdom and are therefore free from every earthly worry, for I care for these few like a right father for his children …. I provide them with everything they need and My gifts of grace often flow to them in a miraculous way, because I don’t leave anyone in earthly adversity who unconditionally trusts Me and tries to gain Me and My kingdom. For the others, however, My word is merely a figure of speech; they don’t take it seriously and will not experience the fulfilment of My promise as long as they stay away from Me and My kingdom themselves, as they strive to possess the earthly world with its goods and forget their soul in the process. They have to take care of themselves, for I have made My care dependent on the fulfilment of the condition to seek My kingdom and its justice …. Everyone will be able to convince himself of the truth of My promise as soon as he puts the care for his soul before everything else, as soon as he strives towards Me and is therefore embraced and cared for by Me with all fatherly love ….
Amen

Spiritual rebirth ….
B.D. 4893 from May 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
I want to help everyone of good will to attain spiritual rebirth. For eternal life, the state of freedom and strength, the state of bliss, only starts with spiritual rebirth. Everything that is still enshrouded in matter, everything that still languishes within its constraints, is still enslaved and weak and only ever wastes its energy of life in order to increase matter. However, the soul which detaches itself from matter begins to liberate itself and slides into a different sphere, although it still lives on earth. The soul, recognising its true purpose, begins to establish a different relationship with Me, its Father and Creator of eternity, a relationship which is more akin to the original relationship, albeit still in a primitive form. It strives away from one realm towards the other kingdom, it steps into another previously unknown world …. it is born-again …. And this rebirth clearly takes place when spiritual aspiration takes the place of earthly endeavour, when the world with its demands no longer comes first but is only taken notice of as far as the preservation of the earthly body requires. Spiritual rebirth is the result of intimate mental unity with Me through the right kind of prayer or actions of love …. I Am motivated to approach a soul the moment it looks for Me, the moment it strives towards Me. In that case, its attention has been focussed on Me and the purpose of earthly life will have been achieved, a change of will has taken place which will also cause a change of nature, an assimilation with My fundamental nature, which is love in itself. The soul has stepped out into a spiritual life and thus starts its spiritual ascent, which will certainly be achieved once it has taken hold of My hand and allows itself to be drawn by Me. In order to attain spiritual rebirth the soul must have buried its earthly desire, it must no longer be held captive by its old shell because of cravings which aim to comfort the body; it must unhesitatingly be able to renounce what the world has to offer because it cannot be in the earthly and the spiritual world at the same time, but the entry into the spiritual world can only take place when it has completely overcome the earthly world. It is, after all, the soul’s life and not that of the body, which shall start anew. The body can certainly still be on earth; however, it must now submit itself to the will of the soul, thus its continued life on earth will be determined by the soul. I want to help everyone of good will to attain spiritual rebirth …. And My help for a human being happens first of all by way of assisting him to liberate himself from matter. Admittedly, this often signifies My painful intervention, yet it is only ever intended for the salvation of his soul, so that it will learn to rise above matter, so that it will seek a different life, a life with everlasting possessions, so that it will strive towards the kingdom which is its true home, where it is free from every shackle and full of light and strength, where it can be blissfully happy for all eternity ….

Explanation for divine revelations ….
B.D. 4894 from May 10th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
You should learn to believe in a direct influx of My strength in the form of My word. Then you will also understand that in cases of great spiritual hardship and simultaneous open-mindedness of a willing person I will obviously announce Myself by speaking directly to him in order to help all people through him. Furthermore, it will be understandable to you that My love also indicates ways and means to help them out of spiritual adversity, that I therefore instruct them spiritually and sometimes also earthly if the situation requires it. I certainly often have receptive hearts, that is, people who are devoted to Me in love and want to hear My word. However, they rarely hear My word in sound, which requires a certain degree of maturity. Through the sounding word I can express Myself to people whose task is a special one, namely to be high spiritual guides for their fellow human beings. To these I will be able to make My will known so clearly and understandably that My direct address will leave no room for doubt. However, I cannot speak to all people in this way because they themselves do not yet have the degree of maturity which allows such an obvious working on them. Nevertheless, I approach all those in the word who show Me their love and will and want to hear Me. I would like to speak to all people but they do not lend Me their ear. Therefore I consider the few who want to hear Me as often as they open their heart, their spiritual ear, to Me. I give them no less than the former, yet they cannot receive everything themselves, which is why the content of the proclamations differs, since a person can only receive what his soul is receptive to. I certainly have personal contact with the recipients, just as I am so intimately connected with every one of My creatures that it can hear Me when it wants to. And thus it can also receive My instructions and advice which it perceives as clear thoughts and which can guide or influence its way of life. But spiritual work can also be demanded of him, for which he is likewise urged by Me and for which he receives instructions. For the spiritual work, the participation in the work of redemption of the many erring souls on earth, is extremely important, and anyone who makes himself available to Me for this I accept as a servant and also assign the work to him. I express Myself to My children in many different ways, and everyone can become aware of My word in a different way, yet I always enter into personal contact with those who desire My word, who long for Me to express Myself to them. The right, deep desire for Me also guarantees them the overflow of My strength in the form of My word. Yet this is not always recognized as My direct influence but is regarded as their own mental activity, which is why fellow human beings again and again fall into doubt about the diversity of what My children receive as manifestations. I communicate Myself to everyone who wants to hear Me, and the desire for Me will not remain unsatisfied ….
Amen

Wake up, you sleepers ….
B.D. 4895 from May 11th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Wake up, you sleepers, and get to work, for the day is short that is still given to you until the end. Every idle and negligent work will be avenged, and only he who is diligent and carries out his work in all seriousness will receive the blessing that means eternal life, while everything that fails is doomed to death. Wake up, you sleepers, and look around you and you will notice the changes which already indicate the approaching end. You must not regard anything as coincidence but know that nothing comes over you without a reason and that you therefore have to pay attention to it. Don’t give yourselves over to idleness because it will only bring you ruin instead of rescue from the adversity which cannot be denied, and only those who are constantly active can control it. But your activity should consist of enriching yourselves with knowledge and then passing it on to your fellow human beings, of presenting yourselves with the questions which only I can answer for you, and of asking Me to instruct you. And then I will mentally give you the right answer and spur you on to carry out what I advise you to do through the voice of the heart …. i.e., everyone of good will will gain knowledge of what he should and should not do in order to secure peace for the soul. He will be awake and stay awake and not fall into the tempter’s hands in his sleep, for the tempter does not sleep and constantly sets out to catch souls in his nets, which the human being does not see and recognize, who walks along drowsy and will surely fall because he does not protect himself against it. There is a safe way, indeed narrow and thorny, where an ascent without danger is certain, but the still drowsy man does not find it, he goes towards an abyss and is in greatest danger if he does not first awaken and look around for a safe way. And the day is short, soon night will fall, and whoever has not yet found the safe way will be lost, he will fall into the abyss without salvation. Anyone who does not make use of the time until the end belongs to those sluggish sleepers who do not take their work seriously and will therefore be rejected in the end; who cannot reach the aim because they did not let themselves be admonished and warned by My servants, whom I send into everyone’s path so that they will guide those who take the wrong path, so that they are never helplessly abandoned to ruin but can always save themselves to Me ….
Amen

Divine revelations – words of love and wisdom ….
B.D. 4896 from May 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
I and My word are the same; My word is the emanation of Myself, consequently therefore the same substance. For where My word is heard I must also be, because it emanates directly from Me. And thus My word will only ever testify to Me Myself wherever and however it is received. For this reason, however, it must also always agree, otherwise it is not My word but human word. The constant presence of Myself guarantees correct thinking, thus a person who is united with Me through a life according to My will, through a way of life in love, can never ever think wrongly as soon as he hears My word not in sound but in thought. For the time being you must have established this prerequisite in order to now judge right and wrong prophets, about the truth of that which is represented as revelation from above. Wherever I Myself can be present through love, right thinking and right feeling is guaranteed …. But you humans are often unable to judge the extent of a person’s love, and therefore you sometimes lack the ability to judge the truth of the announcements which want to be received from the spiritual kingdom. Whatever points to Me, Who is eternal love Myself, must also be grasped by My spirit of love; however, this does not yet prove that the recipient of My word has penetrated wisdom. I impart words of love to every person who shows love towards Me and desires the expression of My love from Me. Words of wisdom, however, presuppose the fulfilment of a mission, words of wisdom are conveyed to those who have a teaching task, who are to bring the gospel to their fellow human beings. Where words of wisdom are imparted, a certain degree of maturity of the soul has been reached, just as the conditions have been fulfilled which are attached to a teaching activity for My kingdom. People’s free will can well close itself to this wisdom, thus reject it as untrustworthy, if they don’t believe in the mission of a prophet, of a servant for Me and My kingdom. But the one awakened by My spirit accepts these teachings without doubt and they complement his knowledge, his realization, they increase his love for Me. But anyone who takes offence at wisdom teachings can also certainly be denied the awakening of the spirit, otherwise he would recognize My word, thus also Me as the giver of the word. (14.5.1950) I take great joy in those who turn away from the world and seek and find their purpose in life in service for Me and My kingdom. I will always be close to them, I will give their thoughts the right direction, I will never leave them without spiritual protection, i.e. I will always provide them with guides from the kingdom of light who will look after them and prevent them from going astray, for where good spiritual forces are allowed to work through a will turned towards Me there is no danger of sinking into the abyss. All forces from the kingdom of light are receptacles for the strength of love from Me and thus stations through which My strength is also conveyed to people. Whether My word, the obvious emanation of My strength, is received by Me directly or conveyed to people through My bearers of light in the spiritual kingdom is of no significance for the value of the manifestations, since only My will determines and the bearers of light only ever carry out My will. It is always the spiritual spark in the human being which seeks contact with the eternal father-spirit and which recognizes everything spiritual and accepts it as an emanation of the father-spirit. I give without limit and let the rays of My eternal love shine down upon the imperfect spiritual, and gaps in knowledge are always filled, the human being is always instructed in such a way as I consider beneficial for his course of development. As soon as a person’s knowledge is expanded, as soon as knowledge opens up to him which he had not possessed before and which was not conveyed to him from outside, an emanation of My love is evident, and then the person can also consider himself taught by Me. He may well have gained his knowledge mentally and yet My spirit was active in him which taught him to think correctly and let him find a result which satisfies him, which he therefore recognizes as right. Only he must …. and this is the first condition …. present the questions which move him to Me. He must consciously request My support, he must approach Me for help, for right thinking and full understanding for wisdom from the heavens, i.e. for knowledge which lies beyond earthly limits. He may not expect his weak intellect to be able to give him complete enlightenment but he must mentally turn to the originator of truth, he must come to Me and I will truly not let him go the earthly path in ignorance, I will instruct him in such a way that he will truly become knowledgeable, that it will become light in him and the spiritual darkness will be dispelled, for people are My living creations whom I want to educate into My children and who can only recognize Me as father and creator of eternity through truth, which is why I guide all people into truth who desire it and who believe in Me otherwise they don’t request My support ….
Amen

The kingdom of God has come near …. epiphany of the lord ….
B.D. 4897 from May 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
The kingdom of God has come close to you, My children on earth, yet familiarize yourselves with everything My love reveals to you. And thus you will be initiated into the knowledge of My eternal plan, of My rule and activity in the universe, of My everlastingly applied means
(16.5.1950) with which I want to win My living creations for Myself forever. I let you gain an insight into My kingdom insofar as that I let you know about the activity of the blessed creatures, about the connection of all spiritual substances with their creator and about the great plan of salvation, which underlies everything you humans experience and see on earth. Thus you gain spiritual knowledge which already makes you aspirants of the spiritual kingdom whose lord I have been since eternity. You can believe that My love has now seized you, for My love is a ray of brightest light, and light is wisdom …. My love is of inconceivable power, and anyone who experiences it is blessed, for he feels the benefit of light and strength, even though the body is initially still uninvolved. Yet the increasing realization is a visible sign of My influx of love, for it proves the soul’s ascent which can now willingly transfer itself from the earthly kingdom into the spiritual kingdom, which has sought Me and found Me because its love unites it with Me. And thus I can now approach you and you will recognize Me when My foot treads the earth again, certainly also in the flesh but not as once born. For I will step into the path of many of My own where adversity requires it, where My own are badly pressed and I want to bring them help …. My kingdom has come close to you, and thus I Myself will also come close to you …. Although I always dwell among you spiritually, your love can also cause Me to approach you visibly, and you prove your love to Me by believing in Me …. I know how difficult it will be for you to believe in Me and therefore I will so obviously come close to you with My kingdom that you will be able to recognize Me, because I want to prove your faith and also reward it. Anyone who believes in Me has love within himself, but love is Mine …. And thus every person who lives in love is also Mine, and he shall also be allowed to possess Me as I possess him, he shall be My child as I am his father. He is admitted into My kingdom, although his body still dwells on earth, and I give him the evidence for it …. that he can behold Me …. Time is coming to an end and therefore you humans will still experience many things which seem impossible to you …. that the father will come to His children and obviously assist them and that His children will recognize Him because He makes Himself known to them. For My love knows no limits, and My children’s earth fate at the end of days is difficult, and thus they require a full measure of My love which flows to them as strength and light, so that they will remain steadfast in the last battle on this earth and persevere until the end ….
Amen

God's love for His creatures ….
B.D. 4898 from May 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
The fact that My love will never be withdrawn from you is proof that you emerged from My love which never changes. Therefore you will always be able to feel My love if you want it yourselves. Yet if you distance yourselves so far from Me that you will never be able to feel the strength of My love, you will not be excluded from My love, instead, My love will always create new opportunities to guide you back into its circuit so that you can participate in the happiness which My emanation of love means for you. You are children of My love …. You cannot grasp the full extent of this statement because you can certainly sense the bliss of love on earth but you would no longer be able to live if the abundance of My strength of love were to flow through you in the body of flesh. What has emerged from My love will eternally remain My share of which I will not let anything get lost because it is intimately united with Me, even in the state of apostasy, which the being itself certainly experiences but which can never take place from Me because it is kept by My love. But unlimited beatitude only means love when it unites both partners, which is why I constantly court My living creations’ love in order to be able to provide them with bliss through this love, and I Myself find happiness in this love. Yet one day My love will reach it, because its strength is inconceivable, it just does not have an unrestrained effect on My children, because I want them to come to Me voluntarily, that they also voluntarily show their love to Me, that they become My children in truth, which lets them find intimate love for the father. And because I love you with unchanged strength you can also trust Me and consider everything possible which otherwise seems impossible to you if it is a blessing for you. For because I love you I don’t want to deny you anything that makes you happy, I just don’t want to grant you anything that contributes to your unhappiness either; therefore leave it up to Me how and in what form I give to you as long as you live on earth, for My infinite love determines this and My wisdom recognizes what is helpful for you. Yet always be convinced that you possess My love, that it looks after you and only ever wants to promote your eternal salvation; be convinced that you will eternally remain My children who will never be rejected by the father’s love because they emerged from My love, which remains eternally unchanged.
Amen

Incarnation of beings of light …. Forerunner ….
B.D. 4899 from May 19th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
I repeatedly convey the Gospel to earth, and as you receive it from above it is pure and uncorrupted by human will. I know that this is necessary since untold people are no longer able to find Me because they are no longer taught the truth. Therefore I have embodied Myself in the spirit of those who want to serve Me. The fact that they now receive the truth in its purest form is a necessity which was long recognised by My love and wisdom, which in itself prompts Me to protect the recipient of truth from above against the influence of impure spirits, which want to confuse his thoughts and prevent the truth from being conveyed to him. Therefore, anyone who receives the Gospel which I Myself taught on earth and which My servants on earth are once again instructed to spread, can rest assured that he has the truth, that he, as My apostle in the last days, may instruct his fellow human beings without fear that error could enter his teaching. And in this knowledge he should approach all those who cross his path. He should consider himself as My representative and always stand up on My behalf of what he has received from Me Myself, and which will express itself as an inner feeling because it is pure truth.
Many beings of light are presently embodied on earth because the immense spiritual hardship requires exceptional help which can only be provided by beings of light. Such souls of light are usually spiritual leaders, i.e. due to their way of life in accordance with My will they have a close relationship with Me and thus are able to accept My instructions directly and pass them on to people. The degree of maturity of these light beings is such that a descent into the abyss is impossible, on account of which they always live in utmost humility and unselfishness and only try to bring My kingdom to people without wanting any benefit for themselves but to serve Me and to help people. It is therefore possible for a being of light, sent to earth by Me, to incarnate several times if people’s spiritual low level necessitates it. But these incarnations are always in utter service to Me until the end, for My will prevails in these beings as they had already submitted themselves to Me voluntarily and cannot lose this degree of maturity on earth anymore. Inferior spirits will never be able to dominate such a soul embodied in a human being, and it will never succumb to their evil influences either. Hence, an already perfected spirit on earth will never be able to fall, that is to say, not achieve its mission …. Such a mission can merely appear in people’s opinion as having been interrupted as a result of a sudden recall into the spiritual kingdom or due to adverse human actions which prematurely ended its earthly life. Yet even this is known to Me since eternity, and I do not forcefully interfere so as not to enslave people’s will.
Nevertheless, the act of Salvation will be completed, and everything will come to pass as destined by My eternal plan of Salvation. Even the most perfect spirits from the heavens will temporarily embody themselves in order to achieve spiritual progress amongst people, for without such help the latter will be too weak to resist. And then the dead will rise from their graves, that is to say, those who are spiritually totally blind can be awakened and enabled to see through a bright flash of light from above …. But then it will be the time of the last days when My return can be expected, which was constantly proclaimed by seers and prophets. And prior to My coming the greatest light on earth will shine in modest apparel. Yet again it will proclaim Me as he had done before My appearance in the flesh on this earth, before I commenced My teaching of people to whom I wanted to bring the Gospel …. He was My forerunner and will be it again. You humans will recognise him by his words, after all, he will be using the same words and will testify of Me as he once did before. His spirit will return to earth in order to fulfil the law whereby he has to precede Me in complete awareness of his origin and his task. He understands everything and also knows his earthly fate, which he will not avoid as it is part of the act of Salvation, in which he will participate for love of the unredeemed. He knows that his mission is only fulfilled with his death and has no other desire but for final unification with Me, his Lord and Master, his Friend and Brother, his Father since eternity.
And once he appears the end will be near, for I will follow him shortly and fulfil My proclamations. However, My return will be the final act before the earth’s total destruction and everything that lives on it …. Then comes to pass what is written. A new heaven and a new earth will arise where I will dwell in the midst of My Own, where there will only be one shepherd and one flock, because all those who live will be united with Me and allow My presence. For all children on the new earth will be My children to whom I will come Myself to bestow utmost happiness on them ….
Amen

Retribution and rescue work …. spiritual need ….
B.D. 4900 from May 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
It is a time of utmost confusion, a time of profound spiritual darkness; it is a state amongst people which is far different than it should be. People are only connected to matter and also live accordingly, for they don’t pay attention to My commandments if they can only attain earthly possessions. They allow themselves to be dominated by urges which are visibly the influence from below; they no longer strive upwards but are far more turned towards the forces of the underworld from which they attain fulfilment of earthly desires and cravings. The spiritual need is great …. so great that it must be broken off by force so that people are prevented from sinking even lower. This is the actual cause of the forthcoming work of destruction of the earth …. to strip the spiritual, which is currently embodied as a human being, of its present form and to give it a new cover where a descent can no longer take place but an ascent must be achieved. The last end of this earth is at the same time a work of retribution as well as a work of salvation, incomprehensible to him whose spiritual state excludes a profound knowledge of My plan of salvation. But it is the end …. also regarded as a work of salvation …. extremely significant for those people who experience it. For the new banishment in solid matter is an agonizing state that I want to save all people from having to walk the path through the whole of creation once again. What is still free will be bound again, what is powerful will be completely powerless, what can think and want freely will then carry out what I want in a state of compulsion; darkness will surround the beingness for endless times until it moves up again to the state of free will in order to now be able to decide freely again. The new banishment will be an unspeakable torment for the spiritual, which still walks freely on this earth. If people knew about the pitiable state they are approaching they would truly change their way of life out of fear, but it would be a change of essence under compulsion, yet without value for eternity.
(21.5.1950) People must go their own way of their own free will. They can certainly be admonished and warned, the coming judgement can be presented to them, but always in the form of predictions which they can believe or not. But what will happen at the end of this earth is inconceivable to man, yet it is something so powerful that human intellect could not give itself an explanation for processes which are completely contrary to nature. Yet it is a spectacle which only My own, awakened by My spirit, can watch, who cannot suffer any damage to their souls as a result. But the rest of humanity, in its horror, is incapable of processing the impressions intellectually, for it only sees death before its eyes, which is also its fate …. spiritual and earthly. It is the greatest contrasts that appear at the end of this earth …. supreme happiness, jubilation and joy over My coming to earth for My own who only see radiant light and are free from all adversity …. and greatest horror, fear of death, darkness and dreadful events with the undeniable prospect of complete annihilation …. You humans are still given a period of time in which you can determine the outcome for yourselves; gifts of grace will constantly be sent to you through which you can become sighted if you are willing to do so. Your attention is drawn from all sides to the fact that unusual things are preparing themselves, the end is pointed out to you through all kinds of appearances; I reveal Myself in many ways so that you will think and tackle your soul’s work; I constantly stretch out My hands to you in order to help you ascend …. But I leave you free will …. Use it in the right way and pay attention to the announcements of seers and prophets …. The time will irrevocably come when everything will be fulfilled …. Therefore take care that you belong to those who need not fear the day, for whom it will be a day of rejoicing and bliss, as I have promised ….
Amen

Transcending matter ….
B.D. 4901 from May 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
The goods of this world lose their value as soon as the spiritual kingdom has opened its horn of plenty and pours it out on people. Therefore you will always be able to recognize who is in contact with the spiritual kingdom, be it consciously or unconsciously through a God-pleasing way of life, for the world does not mean much to him. But there are only a few of them, the majority of people are held fast by matter and have no will of their own to detach themselves from it, which would also give them the strength to do so. Matter exerts an ever stronger attraction on the inhabitants of the earth the closer it gets to the end. Matter pulls the human being down, therefore he is in greatest danger, and if he is to be helped it is only possible that matter is taken from him through divine will. He must be forcibly released from matter in order to still be able to renounce it of his own free will or to desire matter again with all his senses and strive to regain it. Then he has rejected help, his striving obviously goes downwards …. matter becomes his ruin …. Then he is granted what his desire stands for, but in a different way …. He does not gain earthly goods, but he himself becomes what he desires …. (22.5.1950) to the hardest matter, which again requires endless times to overcome. But as long as he stays on earth he has the opportunity to free himself from it as soon as only his thoughts take the direction of will towards the spiritual kingdom. For once he is touched by its emanation then the love for matter begins to diminish, the soul feels the benefit of the spiritual rays and surrenders to them more and more. A touch from the spiritual kingdom already takes place when the human being listens to the divine word. Mere listening with the physical ear has no effect yet, the human being’s heart has to open up to it and heart and intellect have to process what is heard; then the spiritual rays of light begin to have an effect and emerge as a counterweight to matter. The time until the end is only short and yet it is enough to change a person’s will, for with good will the influence from the spiritual kingdom can bring about a change in thinking within a short time, which is evident in the reduced desire for the world and its pleasures, for earthly possessions and honour and glory. A spiritually striving person withdraws from the world, he begins to turn inwards, he certainly still lives in the material world but is little touched by it, and therefore the spiritual world can have a successful effect on him, for it distributes in the same measure what earthly goods are given away, only that it gives goods of everlasting value which help the soul to eternal life. The world has to be sacrificed in order to be able to receive spiritual good; but where the eyes are still focused on earthly matter, on the world with its pleasures, spiritual good can hardly be guided there …. But if you humans knew how short your earthly existence is and that you, who desire the world, would then lose everything you now strive for, you would gladly and joyfully gather wealth for yourselves which will last for eternity. But full knowledge cannot be granted to you, i.e., you will indeed be told that it is so but you will not be forced to believe it because you should freely decide to surrender matter in order to exchange spiritual possessions. You must stand in the midst of the world and learn to despise it, you must have everything at your disposal and voluntarily relinquish it, you must detach your heart from it even though you are earthly blessed with many goods, you must sacrifice what is dear to you to your fellow human being in need …. Then you will receive everything you give back in imperishable form; you will receive a treasure from the spiritual kingdom which will enrich you unspeakably and which you need never fear to lose. For you will take this treasure with you into the spiritual kingdom when the end has come or when you are prematurely called away into eternity. Detach yourselves from matter, give it up voluntarily and change your desire while there is still time so that you need not fear the end which will bring the ruin of everything that still surrounds you as matter …. Gather spiritual goods for yourselves which will not pass away even if the whole earth passes away in order to be shaped anew again ….
Amen

Using the power of the divine word ….
B.D. 4902 from May 23rd 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Constantly strengthen yourselves with My word, which will be refreshment for you in times of deepest adversity, but which also already provides you with strength and fortification for your will and your faith. Consider that My word is a direct gift from Me to you and that My gift truly has to be of utmost effectiveness; furthermore, consider that I Myself am with you with My word, that you receive eternal love into your heart yourselves when you accept My word. You make far too little use of the strength of My word or you would never be weak and discouraged, otherwise no worries would weigh you down and you would always be able to walk your earthly path joyfully and cheerfully. You give yourselves far too little to the effect of My word, you don’t deepen yourselves enough into the meaning of the word and your thoughts too often stray into the earthly world, which need not frighten you at all if only you would strengthen your faith, which My word helps you to do. Immerse yourselves in My word often and thus let Me speak to you in every adversity of your life, in happy as well as in gloomy hours …. My word radiates strength into you which lets you endure or feel less weak whatever oppresses you. Always make your heart receptive for Me, Who wants to come to you in the word to strengthen and comfort you. I constantly want to be with you with My love, yet if you close the door of your heart to Me by turning to the world you will also be and remain weak, because no strength emanates from the world to refresh your soul. My word alone is food and drink for your soul, My word is the right nourishment which you should constantly supply to your soul if you also want to receive Me with the word within you. But to receive My word does not mean to merely read it or to accept it with your ears, for then you will feel no strength, then it will remain ineffective, for then it will only be empty letters in which I can never be. Intimately unite with Me in thought and desire to hear Me, then let Me speak to you and you will feel My presence through the strength which flows to you with every word from Me. You will feel that I speak to you and be happy, for the awareness of My presence fills you with peace and tranquillity, with an inner bliss which lets you endure everything that is allowed to happen to you for the sake of your soul and also for the sake of your fellow human beings. Immerse yourselves in My word and the effect of My word will not fail to materialize ….
Amen

Characteristics of the right servants of God ….
B.D. 4903 from May 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Anyone who proclaims the gospel to his fellow human beings, who helps them to attain the truth, to rightly recognize what the human being’s destiny is, will truly not remain without My help, for his thoughts and actions meet My approval and I bless his activity. Only selfless love must motivate him to do so, love for Me and for his fellow human beings whom he knows to be in spiritual need. If other motives are decisive, if self-love is the reason for activity for My kingdom, then he cannot feel like a true servant of God, then he is just a worldly servant, he practices a profession which is assessed exactly like any other worldly profession, then he is not seriously active for Me and My kingdom but he serves himself, self-love has urged him to his profession. and My support is accordingly. And thus I assess spiritual activity according to the human being’s will, for I look into the hearts of those who want to serve Me. Where the serious will exists, the attitude towards Me is also the right one, and consequently also the prayer. As soon as a person speaks to Me like a child to its father, he is united with Me and constantly draws strength from Me. And then the desire will awaken in him to communicate with his fellow human being, he will want to use and distribute the strength, he will want to pass on the knowledge he receives from Me, and thus he will become My servant of his own accord because he recognizes My will and wants to fulfil it. And now I can completely grasp him and direct all his thoughts because he has handed himself over to Me through his will, because he has relinquished all resistance against Me by establishing the right relationship with Me, his creator and father of eternity. But this is how a true servant of Mine must be, completely devoted to Me and listening to My voice within himself. Only then is he suitable as My representative on earth to proclaim My gospel to the children of the world whom he wants to turn to Me. He conveys the truth to them which he has recognized himself, which I Myself convey to him mentally or through the inner word. Anyone who calls upon Me in Jesus as father will also think correctly, because I will never allow him to walk in error if he has turned to Me. For as soon as he strives towards Me the spell is also broken, the former fall into the abyss and its consequences are atoned for and finally forgiven through conscious striving towards Me. My love has lifted up the fallen being because it no longer found resistance, and the being is again in fullest realization of truth and therefore also able to proclaim the truth to fellow human beings, whom he now wants to put into the same state to recognize the father in Me and to serve Me. These are My true servants whom I bless and always and constantly assist if love for their fellow human beings impels them to work for Me on earth. And I will give them strength to work so that the spiritual hardship will be reduced in those who are of good will ….
Amen

Admonition to stand firm in faith ….
B.D. 4904 from May 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Everything you have to endure for My sake will be repaid to you. Therefore remain steadfast and always remember that the body can indeed be taken from you but not the soul; that the body can indeed be killed but the soul will not suffer death at the hands of its enemies. Remain steadfast in your faith in Me as the son of God and redeemer of the world, for they want to take this faith away from you, they will prevent the knowledge of Me and My act of salvation, they want to displace Me from people’s thoughts and achieve this through brutal measures which are very suitable to make the weak believers waver. But then trust in Me, Who will help you in every earthly adversity and can also protect you against these measures if I deem it good. Strengthen your faith, let it become so firm that you stand above everything the world wants to do to you. Remember My words: I will repay you for everything you have to suffer for My sake …. If your faith is strong the measures of the earthly rulers will not affect you, they will not frighten you because you recognize your lord in Me Who protects His servants, because you see your father in Me Who lovingly cares for His children and protects them from the enemy of the soul. The world will badly oppress you on the impetus of it, yet you will be able to resist it if only you join Me, if you draw Me into the battle against the enemy, Who will truly fight by your side in order to gain victory over him for you. You must not be afraid of him and openly confess Me and My name, you must not remain silent, for you shall speak where they want to silence Me …. I need you to bear witness to Me when people are afraid to confess Me. Then you should loudly proclaim My working in and on you, then you should provide them with the evidence of what strength of faith is capable of, you should not fear for your life, which has no value if you sell your soul, but you should also be willing to surrender your life and exchange it for a far more glorious life in the spiritual kingdom. But you will only be called away where it is My will, for you will not be able to be harmed against My will. And therefore I call out to you: Hold out and remain steadfast until the end, believe in My promise that I will come in the greatest adversity in order to save you and fetch you away from the place of ruin, from the kingdom of the devils …. Expect Me and do not fear, for My word will be fulfilled when the time comes. And I will truly not let My own fall into the hands of My adversary. I will come to fetch them into a kingdom of peace, and blessed will be those who are strong and persevere until the end ….
Amen

"I will pour out My spirit on all flesh …."
B.D. 4905 from May 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, and servants and maids will prophesy …. I will draw your attention to the time of the end, when these words of Mine will be fulfilled …. The cornucopia of My grace will be poured out, for My spirit reveals Itself to all who allow Me to work in them. On servants and handmaidens I will pour out My spirit …. all who are willing to serve Me shall be taught by Me directly, they shall hear My words and proclaim the coming time. The prophecies of ancient seers and prophets will be repeated by seers and prophets of the last days, for they, too, see in spirit how it will come, they see the approaching end, humanity’s great spiritual adversity, and they give themselves as mouthpieces for Me, they prepare themselves as vessels into which My spirit can flow so that they can brightly and clearly see what has been determined since eternity. My spirit thus works in those people …. When I ascended to heaven the work was accomplished …. death was overcome, the darkness of spirit was broken through, the ray of light from above was able to penetrate and My spirit was able to fill people who believed in Me. The connection had been established between heaven and earth, between the spiritual and the earthly kingdom, there was a bridge from one to the other which infallibly leads to Me, for anyone who allows My spirit to work is entitled to My eternal fatherly love, as My child he is the father’s heir.
But the outpouring of the spirit was little recognized by people, it was regarded as a one-off Pentecostal manifestation, as a visible confirmation of the mission of My apostles who spoke in all tongues and were therefore filled with My spirit. The working of the spirit, however, is not a one-off, for My promise is: “Whoever believes in Me, out of his body will flow rivers of living water ….” With these words I announced the outpouring of the spirit on every human being who believes in Me and lives out of this faith as it is My will …. I pour My spirit into every receptive and willing heart which has prepared itself as a vessel well suited to let My spirit flow into it. Only a few people have experienced this process themselves, only a few people are so devout that I can work directly on and in them. And that is why humanity knows nothing of the meaning of these words, of the meaning of the outpouring of the spirit. In the end time, however, they will be made aware by the fact that the outpouring of the spirit will obviously take place, which is recognizable through prophetic indications of the end, through indications which only confirm what ancient seers and prophets have prophesied. Servants and handmaidens will be awakened, i.e. they will voluntarily place themselves in My service and now be filled by Me with My spirit; they will make My working in themselves possible through their will, which is entirely meant for Me, and thus they will be able to be active as My apostles of the last days and proclaim the gospel, the last end and My coming in the clouds. I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh …. Many will be able to hear My voice when the last end is near. But for the time being there are only a few who unite with Me so intimately that they will be able to hear Me. Yet all of them have been assigned a mission by Me: to be active on My behalf for Me and My kingdom. These few will feel the calling within themselves and therefore they will not shy away from voicing what My spirit announces to them …. they are not afraid to announce the last judgment and to a certain extent repeat the prophecies of the old seers and prophets
(29.5.1950). Thus they speak influenced by My will, their spirit perceives what is to come and the mouth speaks out what the spirit perceives and conveys to the human being’s soul. He is filled by My spirit, otherwise hidden things are revealed to him, he foresees what is coming upon humanity and, in his urge to help his fellow human beings, he communicates to them what he has seen in the spirit …. and servants and maids will prophesy …. I pour out My spirit upon all flesh without distinction of gender, because everyone who wants to serve Me and consciously strives towards Me can be certain of the awakening of his spirit, of the flowing through of My strength of love, and this will obviously manifest itself before the end. What My disciples spoke at the outpouring of the spirit will also now be proclaimed by those who are awakened by the spirit, for My spirit remains the same, My spirit guides you humans into knowledge, My spirit introduces you to knowledge which you should pass on again to those who are not enlightened by My spirit. The feast of the outpouring of the spirit shall not only be a reminder that My disciples spoke in foreign tongues, but it shall be a constant reminder to you to also shape your heart in such a way that I can pour out My spirit upon all flesh. Furthermore, it shall make you remember My promise from which you can see that not only My disciples were receptacles of My spirit but that all people can be; that all people, impelled by My spirit, can speak if they truly want to be servants and handmaidens to Me, if they want to serve Me, because people’s spiritual hardship requires servant help. My spirit will make it known to them what they are to say, and you can believe them even if they announce the approaching judgment to you and thus appear as seers and prophets in order to save you humans from eternal ruin. For now it is fulfilled as it is written: “I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh, and servants and maids will prophesy and young men will have bright dreams ….” I Myself appear in an extraordinary way because people are threatened by great spiritual adversity and because every person who applies for My help can experience the working of My spirit within himself so that the great spiritual adversity will be remedied ….
Amen

Embodiment of immature beings in the end time …. (Hitler – Hausser?)
B.D. 4906 from May 30th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Let yourselves be instructed by Me where you are beset by doubts or lack knowledge, for only I can inform you of the truth, which I will also do where the truth is desired. I will always clarify error, I will inform you where you are ignorant, I will give you light where it is still dark, for I Myself as the eternal light want to chase away darkness, I want it to become light in you, that you lose all doubt and entrust yourselves to Me with every question, which I will always answer: Comprehend that the world is full of immature spiritual beings which are admitted to embodiment because they themselves wanted it in order to find their conclusion on this earth; which therefore certainly possessed the degree of maturity which allows an embodiment as a human being on earth, but due to their instinctuality are completely under the influence of bad forces which therefore can exert the influence on them because the spiritual beings in them have not yet given up their resistance against Me, which therefore consciously turn downwards in completely free will. They could develop upwards in their earthly career, for their weak will is well taken into account and many means of grace are at their disposal which enable a path of ascent, yet they oppose Me anew and therefore descend …. they become devils, and the end time will reveal countless such devils. My adversary particularly takes advantage of this time by trying to cause spiritual delusion where the truth is to be represented …. by inciting his followers to appear as representatives of the truth and thus initially lulling people into the belief that they will blindly believe what is presented to them. Thus people appear as angels of light in pious garments and yet they are devils in human form but unrecognized by their fellow human beings because they know how to disguise themselves very well and also find support through the forces of the underworld. Whatever people want to do on earth will not be prevented by Me, and no being will be forced to be good if it wants to be evil, just as goodness can never be raped by evil forces either. But anyone who is subject to bad influence does not want it any other way himself
(31.5.1950) and therefore has to be counted amongst those who openly resist Me, for he recognizes the evil at the bottom of his soul. And because he recognizes it he often tries to disguise it, he hides behind a mask, he tries to blind his fellow human beings in the garment of light, always driven by the spiritual forces which still offer Me the greatest resistance, which defy Me and therefore fight everything that could lead to Me. In the end time they fight with all means, and not least they make use of My words to seduce people. Anyone who is in bondage to these forces is already a devil on earth, even though he hides behind the cloak of piety. Everything that is applied on My part in order to redeem people, in order not to let them fall prey to judgment, will also be applied in an adversarial sense, i.e. every extraordinary event, every extraordinary activity on My part will find a parallel in a negative sense …. And thus the beings of light which embody themselves on earth in the last days will also have their partners who are inhabited by demons, yet they will always work in a similar way as happens on the part of the beings of light. And many people can be deceived by this, especially if they neglect to ask Me for clarity in childlike humility and instead want to check by virtue of their intellect. Then great caution is called for, for the more it comes to an end the more confusion will take over. My adversary has a thousand traps into which he tries to lure the souls, and as soon as he has failed he always uses new means, and he wins over the weak believers and the spiritually arrogant who have left the path of humility and therefore often stumble even if they seek the path of ascent. Therefore you humans must be particularly careful in the end time where many dangers lie in wait for you, where devils incarnated as human beings want to give themselves the appearance of a God-seeker and beguile you. You will recognize them by their fruits, by their way of life, which is different from their speeches …. My adversary has much power in the end but he can never force you into his sphere as long as you strive towards Me and My kingdom. Just protect yourselves from arrogance, remain deeply humble and don’t exalt yourselves above your fellow human beings whom you should help. Then your thinking will also be right, then the light of realization will shine brightly in you and let you recognize every error which the adversary would like to plant in you for his benefit. Anyone who is Mine recognizes his intrigue, and anyone who does not recognize him has alienated himself from Me through arrogance. For he can be recognized by anyone who is of good will and desires Me as the eternal truth ….
Amen

Process of conveying the Word from above ….
B.D. 4907 from June 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Accept My Words as purest truth and also always acknowledge Me as the Originator of what you receive as a dictation. Regard the form of transcription as being given word for word but not that a sentence is taking shape in your thoughts. This characteristic ought to disperse your doubts, should you succumb to such. The activity of thought cannot be compared to this way of writing, because a person’s will usually dictates the direction of the former, that is, a person chooses a subject before he intellectually, by way of active thinking, works out the details, whilst a spiritual dictation, a genuine proclamation from above, excludes such deliberations, because the subject is unknown to the person and is effectively only given when the writing down of the dictation starts. The fact that the person can mentally comprehend what he is writing does not warrant the assumption that he himself performs the mental work as he only receives what he writes down. In fact, I also subject a person who earnestly wants to be of service to Me to tests of faith and willpower and repeatedly will expose him to temptations in which he should prove himself, that is, in which he voluntarily has to keep turning to Me in order to pass the tests of faith; yet the strength of My Word will protect him from falling away as soon as he allows himself to be affected by it.
However, you keep asking yourselves what you should regard as My Word …. I will always speak to you if you want to hear Me …. The only decisive factor is whether your heart desires to hear My voice. As soon as you want to hear Me I will indeed speak to you …. The idea that I might withdraw and deny you My strength is wrong, for I know what your heart desires and what you would like to know, and therefore I will also reply to unspoken questions and this truly according to truth. But whether you understand the answer correctly, whether you accept it according to truth or give yourselves a different interpretation is entirely up to you, yet it must always be taken into consideration. My Word is eternal truth but who stops you from interpreting My Word according to your liking because your will impels you to do so? Nevertheless the meaning of My Word remains unchanged, and you will also learn to understand the true meaning and recognise that only purest truth was imparted to you and that you only received what was given to you by My love. For I protect all those from misconceptions who want to be of service to Me and are of good will ….
Amen

Communion …. flesh and blood ….
B.D. 4908 from June 3rd 1950, taken from Book No. 55
I speak to you and you hear Me and I want you to pass on My word to your fellow human beings who also long for the food of their souls, for My word, for My flesh and My blood. For this reason I have called you to be My guests and to be satisfied at My table and that you now again distribute the bread of life to those who are hungry and want to eat at the table of the lord. For I have laid My table for everyone, I want to distribute to everyone what they need for their souls, and you shall be My servants who administer My gifts to them because they have not yet made direct contact with Me themselves but nevertheless believe in Me and want to place themselves under My care. And thus you have an extensive work to do …. to feed and water the hungry and thirsty who are in danger of succumbing on the path if they don’t receive strength which you shall impart to them. Flesh and blood shall be offered to them, bread and wine …. My living word …. For I am the word from eternity, Who became flesh and redeemed humanity with His blood. Whoever receives Me in the word into his heart eats My flesh in truth. And the power of My word is the blood that brings him redemption. Bread and wine, the right nourishment for a weakened body, shall also be received by the soul if it is weak and needs strength for its upward development. Then the bread of life, My living word, shall be its nourishment and the soul will be flooded by strength, it will not need to starve and be able to refresh itself at the source of life, it will be a proper guest at My table which I have laid for all people because I love them. And I send out My servants and also invite those standing outside to make use of the common banquet. Whoever wants to come and be My guest will be accepted and will experience the true strengthening …. Therefore you should eagerly advertize for Me and present My love to them so that they will desire to share the banquet with Me, so that they can convince themselves of My love which wants to give them everything the soul needs in order to become blissfully happy. My gifts are not meagre, but I give abundantly to those who let themselves be cared for by Me in a fatherly way. I want to knock on everyone’s door and invite him to communion, and whoever opens his door to Me will be My guest for eternity. And therefore you should go before Me and announce My coming so that a place will be prepared for Me where I Myself can stay to take supper with those who listen to your voice and want to receive Me. I will offer them bread and wine, My flesh and My blood …. the living word, which they shall hear directly within themselves or through you, My messengers, whom you shall all seek out as mediators of My word, who will open the door of their hearts to you …. Let this be your mission, which I give strength to fulfil to all who want to serve Me ….
Amen

'I Myself Am the Word ….' The disciples' Gospel ….
B.D. 4909 from June 4th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
Engross yourselves in the Gospel I send to you from above and you will realise that it is the same that My disciples had written down, who did so on My instruction. It is always Me Myself Who speaks to you humans if you accept My Word, wherever it may be. I spoke to people through My disciples and still do so today, because My love is not restricted and neither is My Word, that is, the emanation of My love, which expresses itself through My Word and will never end, which you will certainly understand when you know what My Word fundamentally is. I Myself Am the Word …. This alone must prove to you that I have not committed Myself to letters and that My Word will always and forever be conveyed to the spiritual essence which has embodied itself on earth as a human being. My Word will certainly forever remain the same because, being the only truth, it can never be changed by Me, yet you humans rearrange it through your will, you assign a different meaning to My Word, as long as you are not yet spiritually enlightened. And for this reason alone I must repeatedly convey My Word to earth, so that My Word will come true: Heaven and Earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away. … My Word, the pure Gospel from the heavens, which time and again provides you with the evidence of Myself and My love. As long as you humans are still imperfect you will not keep anything of perfection the way it is ….. Instead, you will always strive to change it, precisely because you are imperfect. It is a natural law that nothing will remain pure as soon as it comes into an impure environment, and human will is far more inclined towards that which is imperfect and will always try to drag down what is above himself. Nevertheless, it is free will, which will not be interfered with from My side, hence I will never keep My teaching pure by force, instead, I will repeatedly convey the pure truth again to those of you who desire it. People will never become aware of the distortion of My originally pure teaching if they do not profoundly desire the truth themselves, otherwise the error would not be so widespread. And neither will they accept anything that is offered to them by Me with love, for they are spiritually blind, they keep to the letter and remain untouched by the spirit of My Word. I will never expend Myself, and I will never stop bestowing the emanation of My eternal love upon humanity. And therefore I will never stop descending personally to people in the Word …. which I promised you with the Words: I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world …. If I therefore want to stay with you Myself, then you must also be able to hear Me, for I Am life, I Am strength and thus also the Word of eternity, which manifests itself as life and strength, light and love. I do not want you humans to look upon Me as a distant God. I want to be a Father to you, always close and always willing to give you Words of love if you want to hear them. Just as I once spoke to people when I lived on earth, just as I spoke to My disciples after My ascension to Heaven in whom I continued working in spirit as before on earth, that is how I also always want to speak to people like to My children, I want to convey Words of love and wisdom to them in order to reveal Myself to them as God, Creator and Father of eternity. And therefore I will never stop being present to My earthly children in the Word, and yet I will only ever impart to them the same that My disciples also received as Gospel from Me, because it is the pure truth, which shall remain, even if Heaven and Earth pass away ….
Amen

God's blessing to the workers in the vineyard …. time of need ….
B.D. 4910 from June 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
I want to give you My blessing who are active for Me. For you alone recognize the spiritual hardship and do your utmost to remedy it or to save souls which allow you to help them. The spiritual adversity consists of the fact that the world, which is to be overcome, determines people’s thoughts and aspirations and therefore they forget what purpose earthly life has in the first place. But since earthly life is limited for every human being and yet it is the last chance for him before his final entry into the spiritual kingdom, they do themselves the greatest harm if they have not made use of earthly life and enter the kingdom of the beyond naked and poor. But they do not consider this because they do not believe …. But faith must awaken in them without coercion or become a conviction. But people do nothing to gain it, they do not think about their outcome and their purpose in life. Thoughts of the world fill them and leave no more room for thoughts of what is after their death. There are only a few who carry a living faith within themselves, for even those who outwardly profess Me only do so in form; they have a traditional faith, they call handed-down knowledge their own which they have certainly received with their ears and also dimly considered in thought but which has not penetrated their heart and therefore did not have a life-awakening effect on their spirit. People are in great spiritual distress, for one day they will have to answer for their will which they do not use properly in their earthly life. Furthermore, they enter the kingdom of the beyond completely blind; as soon as they have left the earth in ignorance of their origin and their destiny, so they also stay there and therefore have to expect a twofold death, the death of the body and the spiritual death. Mankind endures Me, for they are My creatures to whom My unceasing love applies. I know about their hardship and torment which they have to endure, I know about their helplessness which they cannot overcome themselves if they don’t change their will, and I cannot forcefully correct the will if I don’t want to deprive them of the possibility of becoming perfect. And therefore I want to create opportunities for them to change their will while they are still on earth, which you should and can help Me to achieve if you work for Me and My kingdom with love for the suffering human race. This is certainly a thankless task compared to the world and its real pleasures, for the success of the spiritual work is only spiritual again, you can only win souls for the spiritual kingdom …. yet how much more valuable is a single soul than the whole earthly world …. The latter will pass away, but the soul is immortal and has all of eternity ahead of it, which it can spend in utmost agony or in supreme bliss. To release a person’s soul from endless darkness and agonizing bondage is the greatest work of love you can do on earth and for which both the soul will eternally thank you and unspeakable reward from Me is assured to you, which outweighs all pleasures of the world …. I will bless you for your work, because only loving people can help those who do nothing for their soul by themselves. Don’t leave them in their distress but stand by them, for their fate is so sad that it would take pity on you if you could see these souls in the spiritual kingdom. I will bless your work and assist you in every way so that you can carry it out according to My will; I will give you what you earthly need so that you can work for Me without worry; I will guide you so that you will always take the right path; I will mentally instruct you what you should do in order to successfully work amongst your fellow human beings, I will guide your spirit and body and take care of you so that you will feel My love and also give Me your love which enables you to work for Me and My kingdom. Always remember the suffering souls, remember that they are all My children whom I want to help to return into the father’s house and that I need servants devoted to Me for this purpose who are to speak on My behalf and in My stead, who are to proclaim to people what they can expect here on earth already and later in the spiritual kingdom; who are to tell them the danger they are in, that they are not only threatened by bodily death but spiritual death when the end comes, which you are to announce to them and the last judgment. People are so far away from Me, they are so unbelieving that I Myself can no longer speak to them without forcing them to believe. That is why you should speak for Me, that is why I want to make use of you and speak to people through you in order to admonish and warn them of eternal ruin. Blessed be your activity if it applies to Me and My kingdom, if you take pity on the erring souls and help them to believe and to recognize …. And you will always feel My blessing ….
Amen

Through the world goes the angel of light ….
B.D. 4911 from June 7th 1950, taken from Book No. 55
The angel of light goes through the world and proclaims My gospel everywhere. And where he finds willing hearts he stays there and lights a light which radiates into the darkness again. I know very well where I will find receptive hearts, I know very well who is suitable to spread My gospel again, who distributes My precious gift as a bearer of light and is therefore a support for Me on earth in the last days before the end. The spiritual darkness on earth is almost impenetrable, and where a light shines there are also opponents who try to extinguish it again, for light and darkness are in constant battle with each other. And it is the end time …. Consider this, you humans, that the earth will be in complete darkness at the end because dark forces have the upper hand; consider that the light can only still be guided to earth through souls of light which dare to enter the darkness in order to still wrest souls from the prince of darkness, and that equally strong dark forces want to destroy the work of the souls of light; consider that this is why the earth is facing its end, because darkness prevails and overshadows every ray of light unless people’s will is so strong that they carefully guard the light; then you will also understand why the pure gospel does not prevail, why it does not spread as it should; I pour out My gifts of grace in abundance, yet My adversary also has great power in the end with My permission. It is a battle between him and Me which will certainly find victory on My side; nevertheless, I let him have his way, after all, the human being’s free will is decisive as to whether he prefers light or darkness. And since free will is more inclined towards My adversary, his power is so great and I do not restrict it because I will not make the will unfree. But My messengers of light are constantly at work, and even if the little lights are rarely lit they nevertheless spread extraordinary brightness in the darkness of night, and the light has a beneficial effect on such souls which have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary. And I try to save these souls from his power before it is too late. Humanity is not blameless for its state of darkness, for there is a sure remedy for it which, however, they cannot use …. to lead an active life of love. Then they will prepare themselves for a change from night to light, then they will not be defencelessly enslaved by My adversary either, and then it will become light within themselves. But who can force people to love, which has to be practiced completely freely or it could not be called love? Love can only be preached, and this is done by My bearers of light who come from the spiritual kingdom and work directly or indirectly on earth. Love has to be preached to people because it is the only means to redeem them from that power. And therefore ‘spreading light’ means conveying My teaching of love to people, to constantly admonish and spur them on to be active in love, and therefore it is most important to make people understand the significance of love, to teach them that love is strength and only through love can the human being emerge from the night of death into the light of life. Therefore, only those who proclaim My teaching of love wherever possible will ever be true representatives of Me on earth. Then they will scatter sparks into people’s hearts which, if they find nourishment, can flare up into a flame and then give off a bright glow of light which can be seen and felt as warmth in a wide area again. Teach love to all of you who want to serve Me, try to reveal to your fellow human beings the secret of their salvation, kindle a little light everywhere and thus spread the gospel in the world, simply and purely, without outward appearances, then you, as My apostles of the last days, will be emissaries from the spiritual kingdom …. Then you fulfil your mission, which you have taken on of your own free will …. to be active in the redemption of erring souls in the last time before the end ….
Amen
