God speaks …. God Himself is the word ….

B.D. 4914 from June 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

No one who seriously delves into the word of God will ever doubt that the connection between heaven and earth, from the spiritual to the earthly kingdom, can be established …. God’s word has to come from Himself and be conveyed to the human being, and for this purpose God makes use of people who are devoted to Him, who thus heard His word and passed it on to their fellow human beings. God’s word is the audible expression of His will which has to be made known to His living creations or they would not be able to live according to His will. Whether this word of His is handed down, whether it is read out of ancient writings …. it must once have been spoken by God, and people must have heard it directly from Him, who then pass it on to their fellow human beings on His behalf. The divine word is unmistakable evidence of His existence for the one who hears it from Him, yet if he then passes it on to his fellow human beings, faith in the existence of a being Which wants to reveal Itself to His living creations must already begin. But faith, in turn, should be a convinced one, and it is the human being’s task during earthly life to create this inner conviction. But God Himself helps every person who wants to recognize Him. However, His word must first be acknowledged, i.e. seriously considered, otherwise the human being will not be able to make a judgment which can give him inner conviction. His word must be seriously thought through and then put to the test, i.e., The human being must live according to the divine word which reveals God’s will, and then, as a result of his way of life, his ego will be able to judge, it will, so to speak, recognize itself as the creature of an exceedingly perfect being, and its faith in this being will now be convinced, i.e., it will be alive, for it is no longer improbable to the human being that there is a connection between the spiritual and the earthly kingdom; then he will soon be able to hear God’s voice within himself, because God reveals Himself to everyone who believes in Him and wants to hear His word. The belief that God reveals Himself through the word is little found amongst people who, however, should only go back to the origin of what spread amongst people as the ‘Word of God’. Once people have acknowledged that God has spoken and that His word, the scriptures and the tradition originated from Him, the assumption that He will no longer express Himself is also unjustified; rather, the ever-increasing spiritual adversity is the reason for a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence to reveal Himself again and again in order to strengthen people’s weak faith, to revive it and to make Himself known. Anyone who believes in God is only a convinced believer if he also considers an expression of the God-being possible, because a living faith also considers the connection between the creator and His living creations to be irrefutable and the transmission or manifestation of God’s will can also be derived from this relationship of coexistence, which then also explains and proves God’s nature. God Himself is the word, and through the word He has given people the proof of His existence …. And thus He established the connection between heaven and earth, yet always only on condition that the human being seeks the connection to heaven from earth, i.e. that he is willing to enter into the right relationship which earns him the audible utterance of God …. God reveals Himself through His word to the one who wants to know God and who makes himself worthy of His love and grace ….

Amen

Unifying spirit – soul and body …. struggle against matter ….

B.D. 4915 from June 16th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

In the recognition of truth from God lies the greatest satisfaction and the most secure feeling of security at the father’s heart. For anyone who has come to know God through the transmission of truth is already united with Him in spirit, and he feels part of Him and therefore free and untroubled according to the soul, even though the body is still earthly bound. Thus the human being can indeed still suffer according to the body but only if he does not listen to the soul’s ideas, if the earth still burdens him from time to time and he tries to cope with it instead of consulting the soul, i.e. if he seriously turns away from worldly thoughts and seeks help in adversity from the soul, which then presents him with the groundlessness of earthly worry and only refers him to divine love, which always helps where help is faithfully expected. For the soul stands in recognition and can only not assert itself with its knowledge where the human being’s thoughts are still directed outwards instead of inwards. The feeling of security occurs immediately when the human being seeks solitude and establishes contact with God, a contact which the soul certainly maintains at all times but of which the human being is not aware as long as his thoughts wander. But if he joins the soul then it can immediately impart to him the peace and tranquillity which it possesses itself through the realization of eternal truth. For the soul is one with the spirit in itself, which is part of the father-spirit from eternity. Where spirit and soul are already one, the human being is only in distress according to the body until he also joins the spirit and the soul. But since the human being is in the midst of life, he is constantly exposed to external pressures which, however, are only intended to spiritualize the body as far as possible, to consciously enter into the right relationship with matter, so that he does not become its slave but its master. The human being must not allow himself to be disturbed by things which are purely worldly, and therefore he must constantly struggle with it, which will always and constantly oppress him and which he should conquer by turning away from it, by turning his gaze upwards and making God the content of his thoughts. Then everything oppressive will leave him, then he will feel the power and strength of God and feel safe in His care, then all shadows of worldly worries will leave him …. then he will abandon himself to His love and grace and find peace in God …. Yet the truth must already have had an effect on him, he must have recognized God and love Him, because otherwise the soul would not be able to unite with the spirit and then the body would draw the soul into the earthly battle. This is why the human being’s first aim is to live in truth, because only a correctly recognized being is aspired to and the conscious striving towards God results in the unification of spirit and soul ….

Amen

Defence of the divine word sign of the end ….

B.D. 4916 from June 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The most unmistakable sign of the approaching end is people’s lack of openness towards My word, which is offered to them in purest form. For everything divine is pulled down or rejected as soon as the human being stands in opposition to it, as soon as he is inclined towards devilish forces, which is why he neither recognizes a deity nor feels beneficially touched by what emanates from this deity. A person addicted to the adversary cannot feel My love because he rejects it; and therefore this person cannot recognize My word as a gift of grace from a benevolent, perfect being. And if you look around you in the world, if you lovingly offer them My gift of grace, the all-round rejection of My word will have to give you pause for thought, for you can only conclude from it people’s spiritual state who, in their distance from God, no longer recognize anything that comes from Me. But such a spiritual state causes an end to that which was originally intended to bring people into a high degree of maturity …. it causes the dissolution of earth, which was created by Me as a maturing station for the spiritual and now no longer fulfils its purpose. Anyone who is attentive must notice an obvious flattening amongst humanity, a complete lack of interest in questions concerning eternity, the outcome and aim of the human being and the rule and activity of a creator. Only rarely do such questions move a person, and it is only these few who live according to their destiny and thus now also recognize and strive towards Me. But the majority will become unwilling if only such questions are mentioned, and the closer the end comes the more obvious people’s wrong attitude towards Me, their God and creator of eternity, as well as their love for that which belongs to the world, thus is part of My adversary. And people will increasingly succumb to his desire and influence, their way of life will increasingly contradict My will, and unkindness and hatred will prevail where love for the neighbour is to be practiced. The enmity on the part of My adversary’s followers against the few who want to belong to Me and do not comply with their desire will become ever greater. Believing people will never be hostile towards each other but they will stick together the closer the end is because they will be strongly harassed by the followers of the world who are under the adversary’s influence and want to tear Me out of their hearts. Don’t be deceived by your environment which wants to win you over under a false mask …. Offer them My word and you will recognize their true spirit, for where I Myself confront them in the form of My word they rebel against Me, thus they reject Me …. they ridicule and blaspheme you who follow Me and stand up for Me and My word. And then you will also know that the time of the end has come, for satan will proceed against you with all cunning and power by trying to oust Me from your hearts in order to win his game. But anyone who has My word will recognize his false game and be of a watchful heart; he will draw the strength to resist from My word, whereas My adversary will certainly also provide his followers with strength but only ever to commit evil deeds in order to ruin them for ever …. until I Myself put an end to his doings and put him in fetters …. until the last day has come and with it the last judgement ….

Amen

Redemption through Christ is an act of free will ….

B.D. 4917 from June 18th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

I wanted to redeem the world from its sins, I wanted to bring freedom to people, I wanted to redeem them from their bound state which was the result of their sins …. Yet the world did not accept My sacrifice which I offered to God for them as the human being Jesus …. The world remained in sin and sank ever further into the abyss. This explanation has to be given beforehand, otherwise the concept of a redemption through Jesus Christ would be incomprehensible to people who seriously think about it and consider the spiritual low of people in general. Christ’s act of salvation does not restrict people’s free will, i.e. humanity has not been abruptly redeemed from bondage, but only those people who want it themselves can place themselves into the blessing of the act of salvation, they can be beneficiaries of the treasure of grace Jesus Christ acquired for humanity through His death on the cross. All people could place themselves in the blessing of the work of redemption if they wanted to, and all guilt of sin could be redeemed …. Yet people themselves did not want it apart from a few who took refuge in Jesus Christ and partook of the blessings His love acquired for them through His crucifixion, which is eternally unfathomable like His love, which eternally never ends. Yet free will is never ignored, otherwise everything spiritual would be redeemed immediately but could never become perfect. And therefore also the acknowledgment of Christ as God’s son and redeemer of the world is an act of free will and faith, which again can be gained through right use of the will. The work of redemption can only come into effect with the conscious call of Christ for help, which, however, presupposes faith in Him, thus also means a volitional turning to Him. If this act has taken place, then the overflow of strength and grace is also assured, which brings the human being salvation from spiritual adversity, which sets him free from satan’s fetters, from the bound state, which is the fate of all spiritual things as a result of the former rebellion against God, as a result of sin …. The will alone sets a person free if he turns to Jesus Christ for help. But where faith in Him and His divine mission is lacking, there can be no redemption, there humanity remains in sin and remains bound in satan’s power until one day he allows himself to be seized by Christ’s overwhelming love, until he too sinks down on His cross and begs Him for His mercy ….

Amen

Recognizing God's sign of change of will …. exceeding authority ….

B.D. 4918 from June 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Recognize your origin in Me, your creator and father from eternity. Then you are already what you should become on earth …. children who long to return to the father. For as soon as you become aware that you originated from Me the divine principle, love, will awaken in you, for you recognize yourselves as emanations of eternal love and also long for it back. You recognize Me and are also no longer separated from Me in essence, even though the degree of your perfection has not yet been reached, yet will-wise you are Mine. A will turned away from Me prevents the human being from recognizing his origin, then the human being neither believes in a power from Which he emerged nor in the connection between a creating power and himself, if he recognizes a creating power. This is why the feeling of having come forth from God is already a sign of the change of will which the human being has accomplished, for he only acknowledges Me if he separates himself from My adversary. For this reason ‘faith’ will also mean striving upwards at the same time, however, only living faith is to be understood by this, because a dead faith has no effect, because a dead faith only expresses with the mouth what the heart does not yet acknowledge. Hence a person can certainly acknowledge Me as God, father and creator with words, yet his heart knows nothing about it and thus he does not establish the childlike relationship with Me which results in a right recognition. Then it is difficult to reach the aim on earth. The recognition of Myself and at the same time of yourselves is already a testimony of maturity for you, because it signifies a state of light which only occurs in a certain degree of maturity. And again it has to be said that only the human being’s will is decisive as to whether it becomes light or remains dark in him, thus that every person can recognize Me as the outcome if he wants to. For I will never fail to approach every individual person and reveal Myself to him, yet I will not force him to accept these revelations but will constantly give him the opportunity to learn to recognize Me. Only someone who obviously resists Me remains shrouded in spiritual darkness, he makes no progress during earthly life and is subject to My adversary’s power, yet of his own will.

The strength of My presence, which emanates from every revelation of Myself, can be fully sufficient to ignite the human being’s heart and let a bright light radiate, yet if it only finds the slightest resistance in the human being’s will it remains ineffective, because it is divine emanation which does not tolerate any resistance but does not break through victoriously either so as not to exert any coercion on the human being’s will. But if the human being’s will is willing My strength of love ignites an undreamt-of fire which comes to the human being’s awareness as love for Me. And once love for Me has been kindled, the adversary’s strength and power will be broken. I want to be recognized by My living creations as father and therefore also reveal Myself to them; I have to be recognized by them if they want to feel Me as present …. Only then will the process of development begin, the transformation of the being which is still bound by My adversary, until it has recognized Me and now also consciously strives towards Me. As long as people still receive the knowledge that there is a God Who created heaven and earth, it is also possible to attain a living faith in Him and to reach the aim on earth. But if this knowledge is withheld from people so that the human being remains completely ignorant of his outcome, of Me as creator and father, then the adversary unjustifiably uses his power and falls into the harshest judgment, then he exceeds his authority and prevents the human being’s test of will, who is to decide on earth between Me and him, but for which knowledge of Me and him is also necessary in order to be able to decide. I want to be recognized but he does not, and therefore he would also prevent people from recognizing Me if I granted him this freedom. Yet as soon as he exceeds his power his judgment is also pronounced; he will be bound anew as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ….

Amen

Humility – Arrogance …. Danger ….

B.D. 4919 from June 22nd 1950, taken from Book No. 56

I bestow My grace upon the humble, to the arrogant I deny it, for arrogance smothers love, whereas humility awakens it. And for this reason all My love belongs to the humble which showers him with grace beyond measure. Someone with heartfelt love for his fellow human being cannot be haughty to him but regard him as his brother and help him because of love; this is why the humble person will carry out deeds of neighbourly love, for which I will bless him and reward him in turn with My love and grace. An arrogant person’s heart is hard and unfeeling, he does not serve but wants to dominate and will therefore be disregarded by Me, because this feeling, the need to dominate, was the reason for the past apostasy from Me which can only be atoned for through profound humility towards Me, hence humility also signifies returning to Me. The spiritual being had sunk very low due to arrogance, however, in the stage as a human being it has already ascended to a certain level but now it is in greatest danger of succumbing to arrogance again, of elevating himself, and this manifests itself in heartlessness towards his fellow human beings. The fact that the human being, due to arrogance, also deprives himself of all means to ascend further, that he thereby forfeits My grace, is the greatest danger to which I always draw your attention, so that you will not plunge into the abyss again of your own fault. Everything that is domineering still belongs to My adversary, who remains in utter opposition to Me and believes himself capable of overthrowing Me. Having once been the highest bearer of light he became My adversary because he elevated himself above Me …. he believed he was able to place himself above Me and plunged into the deepest abyss.

Arrogance is the first step into a bottomless fall …. humility, in contrast, is the ladder to higher spheres, the safest bridge to Me …. For the person who receives My grace will safely reach his goal, because My grace signifies help, My support and My guidance. Consider your past sin which separated you from Me, consider My greater than great love which wants to draw you back to Me; consider your weakness and imperfection and how very distant you are, then you will bow your head with utmost humility and longingly stretch your hands out to Me, and then I will take hold of you with My love and grace and provide you with everything you need in order to reduce your distance from Me, in order to return to Me from Whom you originated. But woe to you if you never become aware of your distance from Me, if you deem yourselves too exalted as to pray to Me with profound humility …. In that case you cannot receive grace, then you are still under the control of the one who made you fall, then you can never become free from the sin of your past arrogance, for without My grace you will never ever become blissfully happy ….

Amen

"I will put the words in your mouth …."

B.D. 4920 from June 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

What is given to you in the hour, that speak …. and do not fear those who call you to account, for they will have no power against you as long as I stand beside you, as long as I speak through you, and truly as they need. I will put the words in your mouth …. so you don’t need to think about the meaning of your speech because you are only the mouthpiece through which I make Myself known to those who are against you. It will not be long before all those who fight for Me and My kingdom will be called to account, when they will be pressured to abandon their faith and deny Me. And you will experience the apostasy from Me on a daily basis because the earthly reward entices people and they betray Me for it. They will no longer profess Me, they will become apostates because they have long since been alienated from Me in their hearts. And then sharp action will also be taken against My own, against the small circle of true believers who want to remain steadfast. And then the strength of faith will become evident, for those who now turn to Me in their heart for help will become unshakeable in their faith and all fear of worldly power will disappear, they will speak for Me and constantly feel My nearness, and thus they will also speak freely of themselves, and yet it is I Who speaks and gives them the strength for open resistance. Anyone who works for Me in this time will be fought against, but anyone who is fought against has Me by his side as a fighter, for I know about everything that is still kept hidden, thus I also know who is in need for the sake of My name and come as a faithful helper in every adversity. And now My spirit’s working will obviously appear, for My servants on earth possess knowledge that every worldly-wise person will be struck and the way it is presented will make him wonder. For I hear every objection, every question, every doubt and give the right answer. And without any preparation My servants will be able to explain the problems which wise people want to raise. Yet they are not the ones who speak but I Myself give speech and answer, and truly, no opponent is a match for Me. This time will come very quickly, for My adversary rises above Me and uses the last resort …. he seeks to destroy all faith and influences the earthly rulers to make decrees which are directed against the believers, which therefore signify a battle against all those who still adhere to Me. And this battle will not last long, it will be waged with all fierceness, and I Myself will lead My own to the final conflict from which they will emerge victorious, because I can never ever be defeated ….

Amen

Unwarranted doubts …. truthfulness – servant of God ….

B.D. 4921 from June 25th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

If you are taught from above, you must not leave any doubt as to the truthfulness of what you receive through the voice of the spirit. This applies to the one who receives the divine word directly as well as to the one who receives it through God’s servants. For one thing must not be disregarded, that the recipient is always considered by God Himself if he consciously makes contact with Him. Therefore, only a divine being can make Himself known if God is first called upon for enlightenment of the spirit, for His gifts of grace, for His word …. In order for the fellow human being to be convinced of the divine mission, in order for him to recognize the spiritual knowledge imparted to him as God’s word, all he needs is the same attitude towards God, which always guarantees that he will also be considered by God. A person who seriously strives towards God will therefore either not receive wrong spiritual knowledge or inwardly reject it if his will is good and he seeks the truth. No error can come to you from above, and no being can communicate itself to you from below in the same way if you direct your gaze upwards and want to be taught by God. And therefore every doubt is unjustified which is brought towards a right servant of God as soon as he represents the spiritual knowledge received from above. For then his spirit will also be so enlightened that he will be able to speak freely himself and his speeches will be in truth, he will not merely hold a dead conversation but His words will be life-giving as soon as he works for God and His kingdom. Doubts are only justified when worldly problems have been touched upon, because then the human being’s own thoughts can prevail and, since his will is free, no constraint is imposed on his thinking. But every person can easily carry out this examination himself. What is of value for the human being’s spiritual development is spiritual knowledge and guarantees purest truth. However, what is not of importance for the soul and its upward development can very easily be permeated by worldly thoughts and calls for caution. Anyone who is taught by God only works for Him and His kingdom, i.e. he only tries to influence people’s souls and support them spiritually; he wants to instruct them in spiritual knowledge and inform them about the nature of God, he only rarely touches upon worldly problems and only when they are connected with spiritual development; he moves on a spiritual path and turns his back on the world …. And he only voices what he receives directly from God or what is conveyed to him by beings of light who carry God’s will within themselves. Therefore you humans can believe without hesitation those who work for God and hear His voice …. their profound knowledge will give you the evidence that they are taught by God, and where God expresses Himself all access is denied to the forces from below ….

Amen

"Worlds will pass away, but My word endures …."

B.D. 4922 from June 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Worlds will pass away but My word will remain for eternity …. And thus you humans will receive My gospel in all purity as long as you inhabit earth for the purpose of maturing the spiritual substances within you. It will always be the same word, because I will never change and thus My word, which originates from Me, cannot change either. You humans can certainly make changes yourselves but then you will no longer live in truth, because every change of My word signifies error and then it is no longer possible to speak of My word, which originally originated from Me in all purity. That is why I have spoken the words: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will endure for eternity.” Yet these words shall never mean that a change is impossible for people, for then I would have to curtail people’s free will if I wanted to prevent an erroneous teaching from spreading in the world as My teaching. As long as imperfect people inhabit the earth it will not be possible to eliminate error. But I want to help people attain perfection through truth, thus I must again and again purify My word of what people add in their imperfection; I must illuminate the errors and shortcomings of what people offer to their fellow human beings as divine teaching. Hence I have to look for willing servants on earth who are willing to receive My word again in its original form, which is only possible through direct transmission, through an obvious manifestation of My spirit in the human being’s heart …. But this guarantees purest truth.

(28.6.1950) And therefore My word will always and forever sound in all purity in the hearts of a few people and be made accessible again by these few to fellow human beings who cannot receive it directly. Thus My word will not pass away as long as people are on this earth. But people will also always be presented with the educated word which no longer has the right to be regarded as My word. For the adversary works against Me, and thus he tries to enforce the pure truth with error in order to turn people away from Me. And they are too ignorant to reject that word which no longer corresponds to truth. They only adhere to the word: “Heaven and earth will pass away but My word will remain in existence for eternity”, according to which they believe they have the guarantee that the word once spoken by Me cannot be altered …. But as long as I leave free will to the human being it is also possible for him to deform My pure word without Me preventing him from doing so. But then it is no longer My word which is offered to you humans. But My word will flow to you again and again from the source which is inexhaustible and only contains pure truth. And anyone who is serious will always find the source and draw from it; he will not go where the water has become turbid but refresh himself with the water of life; he will want to drink the living water and it will also be offered to him as soon as his desire for it is serious. My word is the true water of life as soon as it has not yet become cloudy, as soon as it is clearly and purely received by people from above, imparted by Me to those who present themselves to Me as pure vessels so that I fill them with My grace. My word is full of strength, which, however, can never be claimed of the word which has already experienced many changes due to people’s will. This word is powerless, it can be listened to and will hardly make its way into the human being’s heart, it will remain without effect because it has become human work which is worthless for eternity. My word shall be drawn from the source, it shall be desired and received directly from Me and I will not withhold it from anyone. Everyone can also feel the strength in himself while people remain apathetic towards the word, which is not My but My adversary’s means to push people away from Me. And therefore he tries to contaminate it and mislead people because the pure truth is his downfall, which he very well recognizes. Yet I help people and guide them into the truth, because only the truth leads to Me and the truth alone makes them blissfully happy ….

Amen

Blessed end after great need ….

B.D. 4923 from June 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

And your end will be a blessed one …. Don’t fear the coming time with its struggles and suffering but face it courageously, for it will not last long and what comes afterwards shall already fill you with joy today, you who are Mine and carry Me in your heart. Do not be afraid, but only believe that I will not leave you, that I am always with you and ready to help in every adversity and danger. It will certainly be a time full of hardship and worries but always bearable for you who believe, for whatever you ask Me for I will give it to you so that you will not despair and become aware of My love which is constantly meant for you, and especially in the last time before the end. And for your sake I will shorten the days; they will fly by, and soon the end will be, the day when you will be delivered from all adversity …. And it will be a blissful end for you, regardless of whether you are transferred to the new earth or enter the spiritual kingdom beforehand. I know the will of the individual and will not abandon anyone who turns to Me and wants to come to Me. But the adversity must come if the last souls are to be given the opportunity to call upon Me for mercy and help. For a call coming from the heart will be heard by Me, and My love will take hold of everyone who calls to Me. Therefore you will also have to endure great adversity but you should not fear it because I will help you to bear it and there is truly nothing I cannot avert from you if you sincerely appeal to Me for it. But one day even this adversity will come to an end; and therefore always keep in mind that you are approaching an exceedingly blissful time and will forget all suffering on this earth, that you will behold Me Myself and sing My praises and give thanks to Me for My guidance which let you become blissful creatures to whom I bestow My love for all eternity ….

Amen

Inability to recognize the announcements …. work for God ….

B.D. 4924 from July 2nd 1950, taken from Book No. 56

I am with you all days until the end of the world …. Yet you often don’t recognize Me even though I am obviously working amongst you. And I cannot make Myself known to you as long as you still look with the eyes of the world, as long as you pay attention to what happens on the outside and don’t look inwards. I would like to embrace you with arms of love but you strive away from Me and therefore you do not recognize Me. This is said to all those who are unable to recognize Me in the word which comes from above to My chosen servants. My voice is clear, thus it can be recognized as the father’s voice. Non-recognition indicates a state of inability to receive My word, which is due to the fact that the intellect and not the heart is used for criticism and that the cold intellect can never judge correctly because My voice can only be heard by the heart. The heart and the intellect should certainly be active, for My word can endure intellectual scrutiny, yet only the heart’s judgment is decisive. But I point you to My gospel that My disciples can be recognized by their love for each other. Love makes you all My children, but you must also testify to love for each other if you want to be My true disciples. Where one acts as the other’s adversary, love is lacking and therefore also the ability to judge, since the human being without love is also without wisdom. For My sake you should love one another, otherwise I cannot impart wisdom to you, the only true knowledge from above. The evidence of My love falls like dewdrops into the open chalices

(1.7.1950) of loving hearts, and thus only one thing can give you the evidence that it is I Myself Who speaks words of love to people …. that the recipient walks in love, that he is a good, willing and unselfishly serving person who is therefore also in My grace. Loving people recognize Me, they recognize My voice, yet a heart without love never recognizes Me. Therefore love one another, want to be active as My disciples and hear My fatherly voice …. This to all those who doubt the authenticity of the word which is conveyed to them as a divine mission. But to My faithful co-workers I say the following:

(2.7.1950) Let time work …. time will accomplish much that seems impossible to you. You must not harbour any illusions that My pure word from above will be spread as it should and would also correspond to its immeasurable value. You must not forget that the forces of darkness are just as eager to undermine the pure truth, and you must consider that My adversary has been given great power for the last time on this earth, which he uses. Everything depends on the human being’s free will; I certainly guide people but I don’t force them …. What I give from above is intended for the individual as well as for all, everyone can feast on it, yet anyone who does not want to do so is not forced to do so by Me. Anyone with a hungry heart desires nourishment for the soul and also finds it, for I will provide it for him in some way as soon as he desires it. People could certainly be given abundantly, for there is much bread from the heavens at your disposal. If I would now prevent the opposing forces then this would be a certain coercion of will, both on My adversary as well as on people, who would no longer need to decide but would have to accept what is offered to them. The will of the human being alone decides. And even where one person’s will seemingly harms his fellow human beings, there I still stand ready with My gift of grace so that no-one who wants to be fed at My table will fall short. I share My supper with everyone who wants to be My guest. And no human will prevents Me from doing so. But you, who are to serve the bread to My guests in My name, do not be unwilling when your sphere of activity is still small …. Very soon you will be able to develop yourselves, very soon work will be demanded of you where you can fully apply yourselves and you will also understand that until now I only demanded preliminary work from you because human will itself prevented you from eagerly working for Me and My kingdom. Very soon you will receive the call to place yourselves undividedly in My service. I want to bind My adversary for a long time …. Yet even this must not happen out of arbitrariness, for My love and My righteousness will always determine My will. As long as My adversary does not exceed his authority, as long as he only does what I have granted him and what contributes to a person’s free decision of will, I will not dispute this right. But he will exceed the limits of his authority …. by wanting to prevent people from gaining knowledge of Me, of a supremely perfect being Who is love, wisdom and omnipotence in Himself and wants to be recognized as the creator and sustainer of all things …. He tries to prevent the knowledge of this, and I also leave him complete freedom in this until his measure is full …. And now understand that his first endeavour is to suppress the pure truth from above, thus to deprive people of the opportunity to gain knowledge of Me through the word of God conveyed to earth. Understand that he will always start where the truth from Me begins to assert itself …. And then you will also understand the many resistances you will face in the spreading of the pure gospel, which I could certainly overrule with My might and My will if it were not against My eternal order to use coercion, neither upwards nor downwards …. And believe Me that I bless even the smallest activity for Me and My kingdom which is done in compliance with free will despite the great oppositions which make your work for Me more difficult. You will still be allowed to do much work and therefore should not tire of working in small ways until I call you when it is time ….

Amen

Spiritual or letter sense …. communion ….

B.D. 4925 from July 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Everything I have spoken on earth is said for eternity and will therefore never lose the meaning I have given to My words. However, the fact that people themselves give them a different meaning must never lead to the assumption that I recognize this educated interpretation. Every person would have to come to the realization himself that and why certain interpretations of My word are wrong if only they would seriously think about it; yet they only adhere to the human interpretation and less to My word, which also allows for a different interpretation which should be thought through with the desire to recognize what is right and true.

(5.7.1950) It is certainly justified to quote My word unchanged as proof of the truth of a doctrine of faith, but it must always be kept in mind that it is not the word alone but the spirit of the word which gives the meaning in the first place, thus every word can also be applied if one wants to put a different meaning into it. What I have spoken only makes sense in connection with spiritual development and must therefore always be interpreted spiritually. It must be in connection with the whole, one word cannot be picked out at random and interpreted. My teaching is not incomprehensible, however, it also requires enlightened thinking, because My words only appear meaningless to an unenlightened spirit, thus the human being can only grasp the right meaning if his request for enlightened thinking has preceded it. No coherence can be found with merely intellectual interpretation, pure intellectual thinking gives My word a meaning which can sometimes even be contrary to what I want to say to people. For one thing has to be taken into account, that there is always a battle between truth and lies or error and that the representatives of both sides want to win people’s souls, thus they try to influence their thoughts. And the forces of darkness will always intervene where the intellect alone is active, because it is not possible for them to take notice where the human being’s spirit is enlightened by his will and his call to Me ….

(6/7/1950) You humans could all be instructed by the spirit within you and then you would also immediately recognize where My teaching is permeated by error; where the interpretation of My word is given according to the letter but not according to the meaning; you would also be able to correct any error yourselves through bright thinking, for then you would always be assured of My support which I grant to everyone who desires the pure truth. Yet the adversary endeavours to keep you in ignorance and will try to obscure the truth precisely where important doctrines of faith are at stake. One false doctrine entails another, and a wrong interpretation of My word means a false doctrine.

I cannot stay in an earthly-material form in any other way than that the spiritual substance which is bound in this form is a part of Me which, after the former apostasy, shall slowly return to Me again …. But I, as a supremely perfect being, do not occupy a form which is visible to you in order to be present to you in this form. I am always and everywhere present, yet whether you are aware of Me and can feel Me depends solely on your attitude towards Me. Consequently, you cannot unite with Me through a specific process but only through your self-shaping into love, which results in a direct connection with Me. You therefore have a wrong idea of the Last Supper with My disciples …. because you again only read the literal sense out of My words which I spoke to the disciples but not the spiritual sense …. I gave out bread and wine …. food and drink, I gave and the others received …. always I will be the giver and distribute the bread of heaven, the nourishment of the soul, which it finds in My word alone, which gives it the strength to ascend …. Do the same in My memory …. These words were the simplest indication of the fulfilment of the commandment of neighbourly love, which alone earns people the impartation of My word …. which alone secures My presence for them, so that I can therefore take supper with them as I have promised. My words, My actions were only figurative indications of what they should do in remembrance of Me …. And anyone who asks for the enlightenment of spirit will brightly and clearly recognize and understand the meaning of My words, for the awakening of spirit presupposes a way of life in love, thus also already the union with Me, which earns him fullest truth. Yet as long as people do not understand the spiritual meaning of My words, as long as they still believe Me to be bound in an earthly material form, their spirit is not yet awakened, and therefore they cannot distinguish error from truth ….

Amen

Key to wisdom is love ….

B.D. 4926 from July 7th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Fulfil My commandment of love if you want to become blessed. Then you will also do everything that corresponds to My will, then your thinking will also be right and you will stand in truth. Then every doubt will fall within you, every question will be resolved for you and you will be able to believe with conviction. But you must also have the will to come close to the truth …. You may not allow yourselves to fall into self-created opinions, you must be willing to surrender your opinions, to exchange them for the pure truth, you must seek the truth …. This is a condition for standing in the truth, since it does not come to you without your desire. It will certainly be brought to you from outside through conversations or books or even through thoughts, yet you will only be able to accept it, i.e. to affirm it with heart and mind, if you are seriously willing to find it. For the truth, the knowledge about Me and My working, about the purpose and aim of everything that is, is a most delicious gift to you, since you once gave it up voluntarily when you fell into darkness due to the sin of the former rebellion against Me, which also meant a state of complete ignorance. You do too little yourselves to put yourselves into possession of the knowledge of everything again, and yet I am willing to convey the truth to you as a gift of grace so that you can work with it in order to become perfect. But on the other hand I also demand all your willingness to be introduced to the right knowledge by Me, otherwise the truth will remain withheld from you and you will not be able to recognize it for what it is. However, you don’t need to research and ponder intellectually about the value or unvalue of the spiritual knowledge you receive, but only one thing is the key to wisdom …. love. Without love this knowledge remains closed to you, without love you lack the power of realization, without love you make yourselves unworthy to receive the pure truth from Me, otherwise even the evil, the unkind, would have to be recognized correctly and there would be no need for error in the world, which is nevertheless strongly represented in the world. Therefore I can only give you one commandment to practice love if you also want to be in possession of truth and become blessed. For you can only reach Me through love, because I Myself am love ….

Amen

Feebleminded people …. obsession ….

B.D. 4927 from July 8th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

You will all be shown the path that leads to eternal life. And thus no one will be able to say that he has remained uninstructed, it is just that the instructions can take place in many different ways. But it is often incomprehensible to you how souls mature whose bearer is of weak intellect, who have no right judgment and lack the ability to differentiate between bad and good …. people whose spirit is confused and who therefore cannot be called to account. These souls also have to fulfil their mission. They often don’t need the earthly course itself in order to mature, instead they are merely a means to an end for their fellow human beings who have to take part in their fate and to whom such people are assigned for testing on this earth. The actual inhabitant of the body mostly withdraws while the body is occupied by immature beings which are not admitted to embodiment but want to express themselves, thus unlawfully influence a body to speak and act according to their will. Since these beings are immature, the people ruled by them are also without any intelligence and therefore inaccessible to rational ideas. Such a person’s path of suffering is certainly credited to the soul inhabiting them, but the immature being derives no advantage from its wrongful embodiment. Nevertheless, such a process is permitted by Me because fellow human beings can test themselves on such an unhappy person, because they can practice love, patience, gentleness and mercy to a high degree and thus mature themselves spiritually, while the quietly withdrawn soul seeks and also finds spiritual contact with kindred souls who were granted the same privilege of inhabiting an earthly body without being allowed to carry out the actual function for this body but thereby ascend in their development ….

(8.7.1950) It is a process of the expression of will during the earthly change which nevertheless signifies a submission to My will, for the soul staying in the body is already without resistance against Me at the start of its embodiment as a human being. Immature forces make use of this voluntary relinquishment of will and thus join the soul, in a sense determining the human being’s actions and speech which, however, lacks reason and therefore could not be spoken by a normally thinking and feeling being. Yet they are human beings …. which My will also allowed to shape, which also possess My love, even if this is little recognizable to their fellow human beings. They are human beings who appear unhappy to fellow human beings and are meagrely thought of by Me but who take this path as a means of purification for their fellow human beings and are also called to account in a different way. Yet they must complete their earthly path of life, and it may not be prematurely interrupted on the part of human beings, for it is a human life which was awakened by My will and whose purpose you fellow human beings do not know. They should be given love and mercy and also active help where it is needed. Through heartfelt prayer the forces which have embodied themselves in them can also be banished or changed, yet I must always be called upon because I alone know what these beings lack and need, and I am also the lord over the immature spiritual substances which oppress them ….

Amen

Extraordinary events are signs of the approaching end ….

B.D. 4928 from July 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Everything points to the end and if you humans pay careful attention to the events around you, you will also recognise that I Am speaking to you through them, that through them I want to draw your attention to the end and your special mission of being leaders in the final battle of faith. I want to strengthen your faith in My Word, but I also want to help your fellow human beings to gain faith, since they either cannot find it or are too weak to advocate it. I want to speak to all of you by every conceivable means so that you will not fail in the final battle of faith on this earth. Nevertheless, I will always take account of the fact that you live in an extremely materialistic world, that you have little contact with the kingdom which emanates the truth and that it is far more difficult for you to believe because you no longer carry Me in your hearts lively enough, since you distanced yourselves from the manifestation of Jesus Christ to such an extent that, due to your unbelief, you receive little strength. You do not accept the truth conveyed to you from the spiritual kingdom; you do not grant credence to the teachers, who are My servants. But I nevertheless do not want to let you fall and will approach you time and again with references to the end, with images by seers which will become public knowledge, with predictions by prophets which will also be heard by those who have no interest in the end and the last Judgment. I also know many people’s struggle for faith and I would like to give them a sign too, which, however, shall not compel them to believe. I want to make them question and become reflective, this is all I intend to achieve with extraordinary events during the last days, for once they spend serious thought on it I will be able to approach them in My Word and instruct them according to the truth. They will only be open-minded for My Word if it is made accessible to them as My evident working through the spirit, for I can only give them the pure truth through My Word. And only through the Word from above can something be proven to them which they would otherwise find incredible, but it cannot be proven by the sign itself, because the sign only speaks to the intellect and not to the human being’s heart. You humans must always be aware of the fact that you are living in the endtime, that that there will be an increase in signs which cannot be explained in an earthly way and which will visibly point to another world …. Anyone who recognises them as such will derive benefit from them, but anyone who bypasses these as well, will have to fear the final end because it will result in his downfall ….

Amen

God's love …. revelations …. mediator ….

B.D. 4929 from July 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

This is My love for you that I constantly speak to you and choose the people through whom I can reveal Myself to you. You all cannot measure how much you need My encouragement, My admonitions and warnings, My teachings and explanations, since you are all in a state of ignorance which I want to remedy. I want to speak to you and you cannot hear Me. You live in a world where you are unable to hear My voice because it is drowned out by the voice of the world. Only a few open their hearts and hear what I want to say to you. And so these are the mediators who make it possible for a connection to be established between Me and you. I speak to all of you through these mediators, yet you humans do not believe it and doubt the word which originates from Me Myself and is now offered to you. The father speaks to His children and they do not recognize His voice …. There is great confusion amongst people, they see what is right as wrong, they recognize what is wrong and cannot be convinced of the error of it. They have no discernment and yet presume to judge divine transmissions. The darkness is great and yet they try to extinguish the light which I send into the darkness in order to help humanity onto the right path. And this circumstance, too, is a sign of the end, that they no longer recognize Me anywhere and equate My working with satan’s working, that they regard everything divine as satan’s work of deception but don’t want to see his obvious counterworking. They themselves pass by a miracle apathetically and are, so to speak, themselves a slave to My adversary who clouds their view and seeks to obscure the light. Yet I protect My bearers of light, I do not tolerate them being attacked, they are active for Me and thus I also stand behind them and their activity. And no matter how much the adversary fights against the truth, against My servants and prophets, they are active on My behalf and therefore need not fear that I will leave them without strength, that they will be defeated in the battle against My enemies …. they serve Me, and as their lord I protect them from all attacks, just as I also equip them with all wisdom and thus give them a weapon in their hand with which they will gain victory over the enemy. For they will fight with the sword of their mouth and the shield of faith will cover them, I Myself will fight by their side, and thus victory will also be ours ….

Love for God – love for neighbour …. worker in the vineyard ….

B.D. 4930 from July 10th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The word of God comes to you and you are thereby in the knowledge of the truth, you are knowledgeable and can instruct your fellow human beings. Thus you are labourers in the vineyard of the lord. Work can be a joy to a person, but it can also be a burden, and the latter when it is carried out reluctantly, when it therefore gives him no pleasure. Working for the lord in His vineyard is a voluntary service, and what is done voluntarily also gives joy, even if the work is hard. To be active for God and His kingdom on earth is the most beautiful work for a person who loves Him. Therefore, the love for God is decisive for the joy the work gives people, and this love for God must express itself in serving neighbourly love. Man must serve God by helping his neighbour in his need. Then deep peace and inner bliss will fill him and he will be a faithful servant to God. What is now offered to you by God shall cause you to be of service to your neighbour, for it is spiritual good which is indispensable for your fellow human beings, which they do not possess themselves and which should therefore be supplied to them. Humanity is poor in this, whereas you possess immeasurable wealth, a treasure which you should constantly increase and with which you can make everyone happy with whom you share yourselves. Then you serve God and your neighbour. And then you will also fulfil the divine commandment of love, and you will be blessed by God Himself, Who has chosen you as His labourers because He knows about your will to work for Him. And therefore you have no cause for discouragement, you have no cause for doubt as long as you receive His word from above which proves His love to you and which you should repay Him with your love …. Be good and helpful towards your neighbour and thereby give Him proof of your love for Him, which will truly be repaid to you ….

Amen

God’s word undeserved grace ….

B.D. 4931 from July 11th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The transmission of the divine word to earth in the last days before the end is an undeserved grace. For during this time people are so distant from God that they would never ask for it of their own accord and also make no preparation to shape themselves in such a way that they could hear God’s voice. But if God does not want to come to people’s aid in an extraordinary way, even the few people who strive towards Him would be in danger of sinking into the abyss because the prince of hell has great power and people too little strength to resist. God counters his great power, which people themselves grant him through their attitude, with His grace …. so that it is not made impossible for people to escape the power that wants to overthrow them. God’s grace, then, is an undeserved gift, an aid of immense value, which God gives to people even though they do not ask Him for it in prayer. But the bestowal of this grace is not connected with any compulsion to accept it. It is such a certain means to reach the aim on earth which God has set for the human being, but he is completely free to use it. It is a gift that does not oblige to accept it. It comes directly from God to the human being, yet whether he acknowledges it as God’s mission is left up to his will. And therefore it cannot sound to people in such a way that it must be unmistakably recognized as God’s voice, but it must also leave the human being the possibility to reject it as long as he resists God’s grace. And therefore it will also be contested and doubted, it will be portrayed as His adversary’s illusion who approaches people in a garment of light in order to deceive them. But again, it is easily recognizable as God’s word to the one who is in intimate contact with God through love. He will be able to believe with conviction and, as a child of God himself, will well recognize the father’s voice. For the divine will be recognized by all those who strive towards the divine themselves and want to shape themselves into what they were from the beginning. And so only the faith of those who are good themselves and strive towards God can be cited as proof of the divine mission. The voice of the heart will tell them who speaks to them, because God reveals Himself to every human being through the heart, yet the heart has to be filled with love again in order to hear these revelations, which therefore recognizes God because He is love Himself …. And this love prompts Him to undeservedly bestow His gift of grace upon people in great adversity and to come to the aid of those who are oppressed by the adversary because they believe in God and seek unity with Him. He reveals Himself to them and His voice will always be recognized by them as the voice of the father.

God's will: Fulfilment of the commandments of love ….

B.D. 4932 from July 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

My will plainly manifests itself in My commandment of love for God and other people. It includes everything you should and should not do, and if you therefore fulfil these commandments you will approach your perfection. For then you will neither be able to sin again nor remain within the old sin which consisted of the fact that you had voluntarily distanced yourselves from Me, thus you denied Me love and consequently became heartless towards all living creations which originated from Me. And thus your love for Me, if you fulfil My commandments, signifies renewed unification with Me and illumination by My strength of love, so that your past nature of light and strength will be restored again and you will possess full realisation and be able to work and create in line with your own will …. so that you will be perfect again, that is, you will have shaped yourselves into divine beings again which you were in the very beginning.

For this reason you humans must first know My will, so that you can live accordingly in order to become blessed. You have to be informed of My will and thus you have to listen to My Word which clearly and understandably reveals My will to you. My Word familiarises you with My commandment of love, with your obligation towards Me and your fellow human beings; My Word explains your distance from Me if you don’t try to reduce it yourselves; My Word informs you of My love, grace and mercy, of My wisdom and omnipotence, so that the flame of love for Me can ignite itself if only your heart is willing to love. My Word also describes your fellow human beings as My children whom you therefore should approach like brothers, to whom you should also give your love if you want to fulfil My will. My Word cautions and admonishes you and draws your attention to the consequences of a wrong way of life, of a heartless way of life, by failing to observe My commandments. You have to accept My Word if you want to become blissfully happy. But leave it to Me as to how My Word shall be conveyed to you, just be willing to accept it when I offer it to you, for you can only discover My will through My Word and only through living in accordance with My will can you become blessed ….

Earth life purpose transformation of the being to love ….

B.D. 4933 from July 13th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

In the realization of My will now also lies your task in life: to shape yourselves into love in order to assimilate yourselves to My nature, in order to take on your original nature again, which is necessary to stay close to Me, because otherwise you would have to perish in My radiance of love. The shaping into love then infallibly also results in the state of light, thus a constant increase in wisdom and strength. Earthly life is only a means to an end in order to achieve this transformation, which is an act of free will, thus it can be accomplished on earth but does not have to be. The human being is always offered the opportunity in earthly life to be active in unselfish neighbourly love; he can grasp every opportunity but he can also pass it by, yet the ultimate purpose of life is only the transformation of his nature which, at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being, knows little of the love which applies to his fellow human being but is only inspired by selfish love, which he should overcome on earth. It is a certain process of change which takes place in earthly life but which can also remain unsuccessful if the human being’s will does not strive for success. But anyone who regards earthly life as an end in itself, who still tries to gain from it the physical pleasures it offers, who does not create for his life after death, will be in a miserable condition at the end and full of remorse think of the unused opportunities he missed of his own free will. He will be in the same state of maturity as at the beginning of his embodiment on earth or will even have regressed in his development if he allowed his urges and desires to break through unrestrainedly on earth and thereby acted contrary to My commandments of love, thus increasing his distance from Me even more. I gave the human being earthly life for perfection, for higher development, and it can bring him the highest success, yet he must also answer to Me for an unused earthly life, for a gift he disregarded or misused for new sin, for renewed apostasy from Me ….

Passing the test of will in earthly life ….

B.D. 4934 from July 13th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Earthly life is only a time of trial where you shall prove to yourselves that you use your will correctly. If you pass the test, only then will you have the right life, a life which satisfies you in everything, which makes you happy because it always brings you fulfilment of your desire. But your longing is of a different kind than on earth. You first recognize how futile earthly goods were compared to the joys of the spiritual kingdom, you no longer strive for anything transient but you recognize the value of the goods which are imperishable. But as long as you chase after material goods on earth, as long as your thoughts and intentions revolve around earthly pleasures or earthly possessions, your will will still be gagged by the one who is master of the earthly world, for that is his means of winning you over, that he entices you with the pleasures of the world in order to distract you from the aim which is set for you for earthly life. But then you will hardly be able to pass the test of will and also hardly be able to enter the spiritual kingdom for eternal life after your earthly demise. For the failed test of will will earn you a doubtful fate in eternity, a state of torment where you will constantly long for earthly goods in order to constantly have to recognize that they no longer exist for you, that you are therefore poor because you possess neither spiritual nor earthly goods. As long as you live on earth you should learn to recognize the unworthiness of earthly-material goods and try to detach yourselves from them, for only by turning away from them will spiritual possessions become accessible to you, because no human being can attain both at the same time and because the human being’s free will has to decide which goods appear desirable to him. The human being’s will is correctly used when he collects spiritual goods, when he does not allow himself to be tempted by earthly pleasures but constantly seeks contact with the spiritual world, when he renounces what the world offers him and instead allows himself to be spiritually thought of, when he therefore pays little attention to the body’s wishes and instead considers the soul, when he provides it with spiritual nourishment and renounces earthly pleasures in order not to let the soul starve. If the human being seeks God He will also allow Himself to be found, because such a will is pleasing to Him and assures the human being God’s love and grace. Then he will have passed the test of will and successfully lived his earthly life for the soul, and then a blissful life awaits him in the spiritual kingdom which will last forever and compensate him a thousand fold for everything he missed on earth ….

Amen

Divine power – living faith – miracle work ….

B.D. 4935 from July 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

An undreamt-of strength dwells within you which you only need to develop in order to be able to accomplish everything you want. As creatures which came forth from Me you are part of Me and therefore must also be able to dispose of everything which makes you recognizable as children of Me; like divine beings you must be permeated by light and strength as soon as you feel yourselves to be children of Me. You are, yet you are not aware of it, and that is because you wanted to break the bond with Me, which exists indissolubly between us, thus you mentally detached yourselves from Me, thus you accomplished the separation from Me in your consciousness. But you nevertheless remain what you are, and you only need to consciously re-establish the bond with Me in order to be able to work in all strength and power, as was your original destiny. This consciousness slumbers within you but can awaken as soon as you are of good will and practice love …. Love is the only means to reach your original state, love re-establishes your connection with Me, love puts you into a state of realization and thus you also become aware of what you are and in which relationship you stand and should stand with Me. Love also brings faith to life in you, and then it is possible for you to feel yourselves to be children of Mine and to change your hitherto ungodly nature of your own will again and to shine in purest divinity, to become My image and now also be able to accomplish in fullness of strength what you set out to do. You are divine products and can never deny the original being; but you were able to take on a different form yourselves through your will, thus disguising the divine in you, and thereby you became weak and powerless, blind in spirit and devoid of all realization. However, this is not your actual nature but only an assumed state, an illusory state, which I use all means to remedy, but which can only happen in such a way that you yourselves attain realization of what you were, what you are and what you should become, and you make an effort of your own free will to reach the aim, the state of perfection, which puts you into possession of undreamt-of strength and brightest light, so that you are already able to accomplish everything on earth, that you can already work miracles on earth if you take the transformation of your nature seriously, if you live in love, thereby attain living faith and consciously use your strength in contact with Me, as is My will ….

\+15.07.1950 Then, believing in My love and grace, you will also be able to work miracles, you will, so to speak, use your strength to bless your fellow human beings, appealing for My support, yet in awareness of the abundance of strength which will enable you to succeed in everything. As part of Me you also possess divine strength which you can increase indefinitely through your faith. But this is already a sign of unification with Me in free will. Your stay on earth will then only be necessary for the sake of your fellow human beings, you yourselves will have reached the degree which is necessary for entering spheres of light, and your activity will therefore only be a testimony for the unbelievers or those of weak faith. You are children of God but nevertheless first have to acquire the right of a child again because you have voluntarily given it up. Therefore, as long as you are without strength you are still under the burden of the former sin of wanting to separate from Me. Consider that you have not yet reached your aim on earth as long as you lack this strength, which can only be a lack of faith which only comes alive through love. Hence you lack love and faith, and to remedy this lack shall be your work, your constant striving and your innermost desire. And if you entrust yourselves to Me in prayer, if you ask Me to strengthen your faith and deepen your love, I will help you and fill you with strength as a sign that you are My children whom I have loved from the beginning and will continue to love for all eternity. You will succeed in everything by believing in My infinite love for you. And if you now consider that your faith, which enables you to perform miracles, can also save your fellow human beings from deepest spiritual adversity, if you know that it is My will when you use your strength to awaken or revive your fellow human beings’ faith, that it is also My will when children of faith stand up for Me and My word in the last days and reinforce their speeches with signs of the strength of faith, then you also know that I bless everyone who is thus active for Me that he testifies to Me and My strength, who works miracles in My name on the sick and the weak, on people who are in great physical hardship but who allow the extraordinary work to take place through an even if only weak faith in Me. I need strong supports on earth in the end time as counterforces for the work of satan, who wants to eradicate all faith and who finds resistance in strongly believing people which he cannot defeat …. I need everyone who allows himself to be permeated by My strength in order to manifestly testify to Me and My kingdom, which is not of this world ….

Amen

Strength of faith of a living but wrong belief ….

B.D. 4936 from July 16th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Only a few people follow the right and true faith, hence the faith which utterly corresponds to the truth. But I also respect the faith of those who are not instructed in the truth, who also have a living faith in what they were taught, who therefore, for love of Me and their neighbour, gained a living faith to which they hold fast for fear that they might sin. They trust in Me and are convinced that I will grant their prayer, and I do not disappoint such faith, which goes to show that even wrong believers can receive remarkable help by virtue of their faith, but then it should not be assumed that what they believe is true, instead, merely the strength of a living faith can be recognised through it. Nevertheless I also try to convey the pure truth to them, for one day they will have to accept it in order to become blessed …. if not on earth, then in the beyond. Yet it will be far more difficult to get through to them with the truth because wrong teachings are too deep-rooted in them and time after time My adversary tries to combine new misguided teachings with the truth, and the more blindly people believe, that is, if they don´t think about the spiritual knowledge they are given, the easier it will be for him. Love, however, is the decisive factor, for love illuminates the spirit. In a loving person reservations will arise by themselves and the correctness of what is presented as truth will be doubted. This is why a loving person is often discerning and can detach himself sooner than others from wrong doctrines, or his faith becomes so alive through love that He sees in Me the most loving and powerful Being to Whom nothing is impossible …. which also gives rise to profound faith in the miraculous power of certain things, which I will not disappoint, even if he diverts from the truth and no doctrine can ever meet My approval which leads people astray. Everything is certainly possible to Me, yet only a person´s childlike love and unlimited trust in My help motivates Me to grant it to him, for I have given you humans the promise that I will not disappoint a firm faith, that I will give you whatever you request, if you pray in spirit and in truth. And a firm and indisputable faith also guarantees a prayer in spirit and in truth ….

Amen

Limits of knowledge …. crossing them ….

B.D. 4937 from July 16th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

No limit is set for your knowledge, but you set it for yourselves through your will and your state of maturity of the soul. For you can change both your will and the soul’s state of maturity, and therefore it is you yourselves who set a limit to knowledge. Ignorance, thus a lack of knowledge, is the result of your still great distance from Me; if you now reduce this distance of your own free will then you will also enter the state of realization, thus you will receive knowledge which corresponds to the truth and thus guides you into realization. And depending on your striving to get close to Me the state of light in you, which therefore corresponds to the knowledge of truth, will increase, and that unlimitedly from Me. As soon as you fulfil your purpose of earthly life, that is, as soon as you strive to become perfect, i.e. to shape yourselves into My image through a life of love, the penetration of truthful knowledge is a matter of course, because it results from living according to My will, from the transformation into love itself, that you enter the state of knowledge again from the state of ignorance, into a state of light which was originally granted to you and which you lost through your own fault. Love and knowledge of the pure truth therefore belong together, it makes the human being a divine being again, which he was from the beginning. Nothing remains hidden to the human being from Me, he can penetrate all secrets if only he chooses the right path …. the connection with Me, Who knows about everything, through activity in love …. Consequently, there are no limits to the human being’s knowledge, for I will not withhold anything from anyone who researches with Me and about Me if he is worthy of the truth to the fullest extent through his way of life. For even such areas can be researched with My support which are unfathomable to the human being’s intellect as soon as his will strives for it, but at the same time the will also applies to his perfection. For I set conditions for the distribution of pure truth, of knowledge, which I alone can impart. And these conditions must be fulfilled: The shaping into love is the first condition, otherwise the human being would not be worthy and also unable to receive the knowledge imparted to him by Me. He first has to shape himself into a receptacle of the divine spirit in order to then be introduced by My spirit into deepest knowledge which is unlimited for the one who wants to exceed the limits set by his intellect. Yet this will only be understandable to the human being who has created the evidence for himself through a life of love and serious striving for truth and has therefore already become knowledgeable. The intellectual person, however, cannot provide the proof, for he does not accept the knowledge gained through spiritual activity as truth either, and therefore he will never be able to exceed the limits of knowledge which were set for him as a human being ….

Amen

Power transmission through the word of God ….

B.D. 4938 from July 19th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Being able to hear the father’s voice is the result of a living faith which causes the earthly child to immerse itself in its innermost being and speak to Me in thought or wait for My address because it longs for the father’s voice. My child can no longer lose this faith, only it can withdraw into silence more or less often and therefore also be more or less permeated by the strength of My word, which therefore also has a different effect on the soul’s state, which is now strong or weak in the earthly life struggle. If the soul lacks strength it is no match for the trials of earthly life, it can offer little resistance and is dispirited and despondent. But if the soul receives strength, then the human being can cope with everything without difficulty. The supply of strength can only come from Me Myself, it is conveyed from Me to My own in the form of My word …. Anyone who always draws strength from My word will never be weak or unable to fight the battle of life, for he unites with Me in thought and desires to hear Me. And thus he turns to the right place, for only one can distribute strength and does so. Anyone who hears My voice and recognizes Me in it is also My child, which I will never leave without assistance. But it must come to Me of its own accord and want to hear Me. Only then will I express Myself to him, yet not always in the same way, because not all people can hear Me directly if their faith is too weak to believe that I make Myself known in the word through My spirit in the human being’s heart. But then I will also convey My word to him through fellow human beings or through writings, but always recognizable to the one who seeks Me and wants to hear Me. But listening to My voice within oneself testifies to a profound faith in Me, which I value particularly highly and reward through the transmission of My word, which is blessed with My strength. And you should all make use of this directly received word, because you receive much strength from Me and can deepen your faith as soon as you let My word take effect on you. The strength of My word is immeasurable, yet My strength also reaches those who receive My word through mediators or the scriptures, for their will and desire for Me enables them to recognize it as My word and they likewise expose themselves to its effect, they receive strength and grace …. Anyone who recognizes My voice as the father’s voice belongs to My own who can request strength at any time and will always receive it from Me. Therefore, often enter into silence and listen to what I want to say to you, and you will easily and freely go through earthly life, nothing will frighten you and nothing will oppress you, for you will overcome everything because you receive strength with My word ….

Amen

"In the name of Jesus Christ …." teachings ….

B.D. 4939 from July 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Whenever you teach in My name you teach correctly …. Yet it is not enough to merely mention My name, which can also be pronounced by anyone who does not have living faith in Me, but in spirit and in truth you must call Me to you, then you will also speak in My name, and your words will be right, your thinking will correspond to the truth, and you yourselves will be fully convinced of what you speak, thus you will also be able to successfully instruct your fellow human beings. But you must never exclude me …. Hence you should bring the gospel to people in the name of Jesus Christ, you should act as My messengers and try to make your mission credible to people by conveying the word which you receive directly from Me. You should speak in My name and glorify My name again by reporting My extraordinary working in and on you, so that fellow human beings will also learn to believe with conviction. You shall carry My gospel out into the world …. as true messengers of Me you shall preach love and also practice it yourselves in order to give evidence of the strength of love to all who are of good will. For the teaching of love has to be proclaimed again, just as I Myself taught it on earth. And therefore My spirit must be able to be active in you, I Myself must be able to dwell with you through your will. As soon as you devoutly speak My name I will be with you, and then everything will be guided and directed by Me, then you will be true disciples who will fulfil their task with My assistance, that is, who will spread the gospel amongst people. If you speak to them in My name, then the words are addressed by Me Myself to fellow human beings, then they will not fail to have an effect, for the willing human being recognizes My voice and is also touched by it because he feels that they are not human words but God’s words. You should never speak on your own initiative but always start the conversation in My name and you will be amazed at the success and effect of your speeches on the listener. For where I dwell through your will success is truly also guaranteed, even if it is not immediately recognizable, yet the words retain their effect and again and again enter the thoughts of the one to whom they apply with clarity. My name has great strength, and blessed is he who makes use of this strength ….

Amen

Prediction of the natural disaster …. Dead stretches of land ….

B.D. 4940 from July 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The last end will be preceded by an enormous event which is bound to make all people think who survive it. It will be an indication of the end, a small scale destruction compared to the final work of destruction of this earth, yet of such an extent as never experienced by humanity since the earth came into existence. It is a natural happening which will throw all affected people or those who hear about it into turmoil, for the consequences of the incident are too vast as to go unnoticed. So-called dead stretches of land will form which exhibit no life whatsoever because the vapours of the earth smother all life in these areas. An obvious influence by natural forces will be recognisable so that this phenomenon cannot be traced back to human activity because I want to reveal Myself through this happening in order to make the near end credible to people, which seers and prophets are constantly proclaiming on My instructions. People are faced by renewed suffering and yet cannot be spared this suffering as long as they still pay tribute to the world and only take notice of Me in passing. They must look for Me so that I can let Myself be found, which can only be accomplished by an event which can no longer be explained with people’s activity. They must sense that a higher power is behind it and entrust themselves to this power in their earthly adversity. But in order to do so they must also be at the mercy of this power in order to take refuge in it of their own accord. They must physically be without help in order to noticeably feel the help from above ….

And for this reason a violent storm will arise which will uproot and lift everything off the ground; the earth will split open and from above and below people will find themselves at the mercy of the elements which they will be unable to fight as they will not have enough strength; an unbearable heat will, in fact, have already rendered people incapable and lethargic beforehand and so they will watch the first signs in nature without interest until they recognise their grim situation and then they will almost brutally fight for their life which they fear to lose. And I will help all those in their adversity who are of good will; I will provide them with realisation so that they can recognise My reign and activity in all happenings and as a result of this insight also instruct their fellow human beings and encourage them to turn to Me, and they will preach to them about My love, wisdom and omnipotence so that they will call upon Me when they are in danger. I want to be their Leader, and those who believe in Me and want to serve Me shall be saved during all hardship of the last days before the end. For shortly after this event follows the destruction of the old earth, as it is written. Yet people shall not experience this destruction unprepared, hence I will cast a shadow beforehand …. a final indication which should be given credence, so that people will not walk into eternal ruin, so that they will be able to save themselves if only they use their will correctly ….

Amen

Increasing darkness before the end ….

B.D. 4941 from July 22nd 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The shadows will darken as the end approaches. Darkness will increase amongst humanity, many more will turn away from faith who think they are too clever to be able to believe, for which all evidence is lacking. People will want to suppress faith with their intellect and a way will be sought to convince people of the untenability of faith. And humanity will sink into ever deeper night …. for it flees the light, and the brighter the light shines the blacker the night will be for those who step out of the ray of light, i.e., anyone who once had the grace to be touched by a ray of light and flees from this ray will not see day again for a long time, for he spurned a gift of grace from Me which My love offered him …. Anyone who has once taken notice of My word imparted from above, which appears clear and pure to him and which he nevertheless does not accept because he feels comfortable in the darkness of spirit, will not find his way out of the darkness for a long time, and not undeservedly. But in the end it will be conspicuous how action is taken against the light and its bright shining …. In the end all faith will be rejected, and all the more easily where false doctrines are openly recognized as such and believe to be able to justify the rejection of all doctrines of faith. In their dark spiritual state it will be impossible for people to recognize what is true, and therefore everything will be rejected which has to do with faith in a God and creator of eternity. And where a light brightly breaks through the darkness it will be regarded as a deceptive work and everything will be done to extinguish it …. Darkness will increase the closer the end is. But then the light from above must shine with all its strength to show the way to the few who want to escape from the darkness. But this light has been kindled by Me and is also maintained by Me, and it will not be possible for the powers of darkness to extinguish it. Again and again the light shines down to earth and the darkness, which is spread over the earth, becomes all the more obvious. And anyone who is permeated by light is no longer harmed by the darkness, his spirit sees brightly and clearly and recognizes Me, and that is why he also remains faithful to Me and confesses Me until the end. And therefore I seek to kindle a light everywhere which shines brightly into the darkness …. I seek to kindle living faith in Me and My love, in My activity and My truthfulness everywhere …. And anyone who has gained this faith can no longer fall back into darkness, he will not let himself be distracted by the intellect of those who want to take his faith away, for he knows more than human intellect can fathom …. he has attained the realization which cannot be gained by the intellect but only by the heart, and this realization helps him to persevere until the end, which is imminent ….

Amen

'Thou art Peter, the rock, and upon this rock I will build My church ….'

B.D. 4942 from July 27th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

I certainly established a church on earth but I did not want an organisation …. I say this to all those who interpret My Word ‘Thou art Peter, the rock, and upon this rock I will build My church’ such that I Myself Am the founder of worldly organisations which call themselves the true church of Christ. Like all My Words these, too, were intended to be understood spiritually, in fact, they are very easy to comprehend if the faith of My disciple Peter is understood as a rock, which everyone must possess in order to belong to My true church. My church is a purely spiritual foundation; it is to be understood as a community with a faith as rock-hard as Peter’s, but never the amalgamation of people in a purely secular organisation, which has to be called secular because everything that proves the affiliation to this organisation must be outwardly recognisable and because further regulations or laws were decreed which inhibit a person’s thinking and actions, which entirely contradicts My will. It is My will that people wanting to belong to My church should strive towards Me of their own free will, which necessitates faith in Me as well as love …. Neither can be enforced nor achieved through regulations; love for Me does not awaken as a matter of duty but through faith in My perfection, and although this faith can be taught, it cannot be demanded. The human being must bring himself to believe after he has received knowledge of Me, of his Creator and Father of eternity. A human being only becomes a member of My church through this self-attained faith, therefore My church cannot be an organisation with a mass of members who lack living, self-attained faith. For although faith and love are being preached, the listeners must nevertheless first activate their will in order to acquire the right of belonging to the church which was founded by Me.

And therefore I repeatedly emphasise that people could not have formed this church by establishing an organisation in which, like in any worldly organisation, leaders of various ranks work, to whom I have never appointed such a ministry, whose functions are more of a ruling than a serving nature and who are often not members of the church I founded themselves because they, too, only believe blindly what they were taught and as yet have neither acquired a convinced faith through deliberation nor a living faith through activity of love. Hence these believe themselves to be My representatives on earth, and yet they are unable to convey truthful knowledge to people because they don’t possess it themselves. They feel that they are Peter’s successors but they are not because their faith lacks the strength of a rock as soon as it is tested. The church founded by Me will prove itself …. not even the gates of hell will defeat it. But once the walls of the former are shaken, which is intended by My will, it will not survive and only blindly believing fanatics will remain steadfast but not on account of conviction but because of fanaticism which is not valued by Me as faithfulness. For I want people to think about everything they encounter, and it is My will that they shall acquire vision and don’t remain blind due to their own fault. I also want them to think about My Words: Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it …. I want people to reflect on how these Words of Mine are to be understood: It is My will that they should be truthfully interpreted and you humans also recognise when human interpretation does not correspond to the spiritual meaning which I have placed into My Words. And you will be able to recognise it if you dwell on it with willingness for the pure truth when you are taught by those who call themselves My representatives on earth. My true representatives are certainly informed of the truth and can therefore also provide their fellow human beings with a correct explanation regarding My Word and its deeper spiritual meaning. However, My representatives also belong to the church founded by Me, even though they are not members of an earthly organisation. My true representatives will also announce in My name to all spiritual organisations the end of their existence, because everything that has distanced itself from the real truth will fade away, even if people are convinced that that church will be invincible. Only the church which I Myself have founded on earth will be invincible, which is a spiritual community of those with a faith like Peter’s and who, through this faith, shape themselves into My image, who can indeed have a living faith because they are instructed in the truth, who allow My spirit to be effective in them, which always is and will remain a sign of affiliation to the church I have founded ….

Amen

Divine revelations oblige …. near end ….

B.D. 4943 from July 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

To be taught the truth by Me is a gift of grace which also obliges. Anyone who is richly blessed by Me should give away of his possessions to his neighbour, otherwise he is not worthy of My love and grace. And anyone who is showered with My grace is always willing to share himself and make his fellow human beings happy, just as he himself is happy. Whoever receives My gift of grace also stands in love and passes on what he receives. From this it follows that when I reveal Myself …. for My revelations are extraordinary gifts of grace …. I also want them to be spread because they are of immense value for the soul’s development. Understand, you humans, that My word is the surest means for you to achieve your aim on earth of becoming perfect. Thus My word must not be disregarded, the living water must not dry up in the sand but a riverbed must be created for it, it must continue to flow so that many can refresh themselves with the water of life which flows from the fountainhead of My love. When I reveal Myself to a person it means that I give him proof of My existence and My bond with the person who longs for Me in his love, I reveal Myself to him, I let him become aware of My presence, as it were, I make Myself known to him …. But anyone who has recognized Me himself also gives testimony of Me to his fellow human beings, and this is what every revelation is intended to do …. to awaken or strengthen faith in Me. And since I wrestle for the souls of all My living creations, since I want to win everyone for eternal life, all people shall also gain knowledge of Me, they shall know that the eternal deity expresses Itself to every person, because all are children of Its eternal love. Therefore, every revelation on My part shall be mentioned, and fellow human beings shall believe in it or not according to their way of life, because the soul’s ascent is a matter of free will …. He who receives much shall also distribute much. If the recipient of My word is now destined for a teaching activity, the measure of grace will be inexhaustible, for now he is active as a mediator between Me and people, he has a mission to fulfil, to pass on extensive knowledge, the spreading of which has now become necessary in order to reduce the great spiritual hardship. This knowledge concerns the purification of My already very educated teaching and, at the same time, the plight of people who live on this earth during the last days and are in a pitiable state due to their lack of knowledge, who, due to a way of life which contradicts My will and due to misguided thinking, are in utmost danger of being lost in the end for eternal times. By conveying the truth and through admonitions and warnings still willing people can be guided onto the right path, and this is the mission of the one who is taught by Me, who is the mediator between Me and people through the inner word. For this reason the knowledge which this mediator receives comprises for the first time the pure gospel, the unadulterated teaching of love, which I Myself, as the man Jesus, brought to people on earth in order to lead them back from the path of ruin they were walking on to the path of salvation. The gospel shall be proclaimed to people again as purely as it once came forth from Me, and therefore I must send My word from above to people again, they must receive it directly from Me, albeit conveyed through the mouth of a human being, because the presently educated teaching is used as My adversary’s means and therefore causes more harm than spiritual success for the soul. I know how necessary it is to convey the pure truth to people, and I bless everyone who, in the last days before the end, as My true disciple, as an apostle of the end time, supports the spreading of the pure teaching, who wants to fight against error and lies and makes himself available to Me for this purpose. And thus the transmission of the pure gospel to earth through the inner word is a great revelation of Myself, for I Myself am the word, and whatever emanates from Me must also testify to Me as what I am. My word is recognizable to everyone who wants to recognize it …. But furthermore, the end is near …. And I want to announce this to people through seers and prophets. Therefore I need people again who, driven by My spirit, repeatedly present to their fellow human beings that the last time has come. They do not speak for themselves, they speak on My behalf, as My messengers, and this mission is also important, for people are to be disturbed from their rest and pointed to the future, which is decisive for eternity for every individual. My servants on earth will not have much success, nevertheless they shall be restlessly active and not miss any opportunity to mention My extraordinary working, My revelations. They shall make use of every day as industrious labourers in the vineyard of the lord, for time is pressing. The end is near, so near that you cannot believe it. Therefore call out to each one: Work and do while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work.

Amen

The power of the word …. ineffectiveness ….

B.D. 4944 from July 31th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The power of the word cannot become effective as long as the human being rejects it. Therefore the word will also not be recognized for what it is: as emanation of the eternal deity, as long as the human being does not want it to bear witness to it. The inner defence is a visible influence of the adversary of God, for a good person feels beneficently touched because the adversary of God has no power over these people. The divine word is the direct emanation of God …. God’s strength of love can certainly penetrate everywhere but it immediately becomes ineffective as soon as it encounters resistance, otherwise the word would exert a certain spiritual coercion on people who are still God-opposing. The opposition to God does not only consist of open rejection of God and obvious counteraction, but the person can appear outwardly as God-affirming and yet inwardly be full of opposition to everything that has to do with faith. And on such a person God’s word remains completely without impression. His heart remains closed because his intellect wants to deny what requires an affirmative attitude in order to be able to work as grace. Offering these people the pure word of God from heaven does not promise much success, and these are the people of whom it can be said that they are neither warm nor cold …. who do not have the courage to openly reject, who are considered believers and yet inwardly deny everything and often still influence their fellow human beings with their attitude. For these, therefore, the divine word is no source of strength, for they only hear it according to the letter and it has no spiritual meaning for them. These are the ones who also doubt the book of the fathers, even if they openly profess it. And therefore they will also read it without understanding, and it will confuse rather than enlighten their spirit. For the power is not able to penetrate to the heart. It is only a dead word, for life is missing because man himself is dead in spirit. And spirit must speak to spirit. God’s word is the current of strength which again touches the divine spark, but only if the human being is willing to do so. All resistance interrupts the current because God gives nothing that does not want to be accepted. And so it is understandable that the word of God is all the more effective the more intimately it is desired. The desire for the divine word also secures an inconceivable blessing for the recipient, and the power of God flows through him who opens himself to the flow of power through his desire for it. He feels what his fellow human being cannot comprehend, he will understand what is completely inexplicable to him, for he connects himself with God through his desire, a connection which the latter can never enter into because he is far from God and does not make use of His strength in order to be able to approach Him. For without the supply of strength from God the human being is a weak being, and he will achieve nothing on earth as long as he withdraws himself from this supply of strength through his will, as long as his will is still under the influence of the one who is God’s adversary, who did not want to acknowledge God as the source of strength and therefore fell ….

Amen

Source of life …. holy communion …. flesh and blood ….

B.D. 4945 from August 4th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

You should always and constantly draw from the source of life, and you will never lack the strength to ascend. What you are offered is nourishment for your soul, which you urgently need on your path through life, and therefore you should not let your soul go hungry by indifferently passing it by when I want to feed you at My table …. I will give you bread and wine to strengthen your soul, and My table of gifts is always laid for hungry earthly wanderers who want to be My guests. I feed them and give them drink and let no one go from Me unsated who wants to be refreshed by Me. But I don’t force anyone who resists Me to accept My gift, yet I advice him not to pass by the gift of life which opens up the most delicious things on earth to him. He should keep still for a while during his walk and think about whether his strength will suffice until the end of the path if he does not accept strengthening when it is offered to him. For he will bitterly regret it if he sinks down before the end and can no longer rise to continue the path. You humans all need strengthening, for it is not the body that should reach its aim but the soul. You certainly provide abundantly for the body but you leave the soul in want, and if a source of life opens up for it, it rushes past and you weaken it so that it cannot fulfil its earthly task of developing upwards, for what it lacks cannot be given to it by the world but only I can hand it the nourishment, the bread from the heavens, which alone gives it strength on the path upwards. The nourishment I give it is My word, which is conveyed to it from above through My love …. Anyone who accepts My word within himself will receive much strength and effortlessly be able to cover the ascent, for My word is such effective nourishment and such life-awakening drink that the human being no longer knows any weakness and is filled with strong will to reach Me, Who stands at the end of the path and stretches out My hands towards him in longing love for all My living creations. And thus My love is constantly intent on conveying the strength to the earthly children which can only be imparted to them through My word. I constantly want to offer them My word, My flesh and My blood, because they have to receive Me Myself in order to come close to Me, because without Me they cannot ascend and therefore I bring Myself close to them in My word so that they will become blissfully happy ….

(4.8.1950) No externally perceptible act is necessary in order to let Me be present, for the human being will only ever hear My word if he quietly listens within himself. Thus he will only be fed by Me with nourishment for the soul if he mentally establishes an intimate connection with Me which enables him to hear My word, and this intimate connection requires no external sign, no ceremony and no visible action. An open heart is all I require in order to let the flow of grace of My love flow in, in order to truly feed and water the human being, because his soul needs strengthening and I reward the intimate connection with Me by expressing Myself in the word. My word is the manna which comes from heaven, My word is the pledge of My love, for the only path to Me is love, which is taught to everyone through My word. My word is both a means and an end, for it leads to Me and emanates from Me as strength so that it helps the human being to ascend. The word proves Me Who is without beginning and without end, Who manifestly makes Myself known, thus giving My flesh and blood to all those who want to accept it from Me. And all of you shall feast on My gift of grace, all of you shall hunger and thirst for My address, all of you shall desire to be fed by Me and you will always receive bread and wine; I will always invite you to supper and provide you as My guests with everything you need for body and soul. And your soul will never ever need to go hungry if the spring from which the living water flows has been opened up to it ….

Amen

Willful decision in earthly life ….

B.D. 4946 from August 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Only the decision of will is demanded of you during your earthly life, but you have to express it with your heart, not only with your mouth. The human being’s will will be directed upwards or downwards, and his way of life will correspond to this will, which thus expresses the direction his will has taken. Since the will is now free from Me, the human being determines the direction of his will of his own accord, thus he is not in a state of compulsion and therefore, in order to be able to decide, must have knowledge of both aims between which he is to decide. Good and evil can be his thinking, good and evil can be his striving, good and evil are the opposite poles which exert their attraction on every human being who lives on earth. Good and evil are the forces that try to influence human thinking. But the human being has to make the decision himself and thus I have also given him the ability to recognize good and evil, thus according to his feelings his decision should be the right one, yet this feeling is dulled by opposing forces through an irritating portrayal of evil which, however, is only successful where the resistance against Me is still great. Good as well as evil can be recognized, whether it wants to be recognized is up to the human being himself, who can think and want freely in all directions. Where the adversary lures the human being with earthly advantages and successes, graces without measure are available from My side, so that the battle between good and evil can never be called unequal and even the most primitive human being can just as well give the right direction to the will as the intellectually extremely superior one, for which My justice and My love is a guarantee. Yet the slightest affection for evil gives the adversary tremendous power which he uses in a frightening way, just as, conversely, the slightest devotion of the will to Me guarantees an extraordinary influx of grace in order to withstand all temptations and onslaughts of the adversary. The human being has free will and is not defencelessly at the mercy of the opposing powers during his earthly life, yet he has to make the decision himself because it determines his life in eternity.

Amen

Antichrist …. The faith is in danger ….

B.D. 4947 from August 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

The Antichrist will irresponsibly proceed against all who still believe in a God of heaven and earth. For he will force people to deny their faith which, on My part, is entirely a matter of the human being’s free will. He will force them by threatening measures which appear intolerable to people, hence they will be too weak to resist. The faith is in danger …. This should make everyone think who is approached by Me through My messengers on earth, who receives My Word which I have conveyed to My messengers. The faith is in danger …. Do you know what it means having to make a public declaration and at the same time heading towards extreme earthly hardship? …. Do you know how people will pull every single religious doctrine apart with the intention to demonstrate its uselessness to you and how little you will be able to answer? Do you know how difficult they will make it for you to stand firm in faith of Me, your God and Father of eternity? How they will take and destroy everything that hitherto seemed irrefutable to you?

Everyone who determinedly rejects their demand of denying Me will be treated brutally, and in the face of this many will weaken and betray Me without resistance, for they lack the strength of faith which arises from the pure truth. I want to draw your attention to this time and enlighten you in advance, because I know every individual person’s character and the spiritual adversity you will experience resulting from My adversary’s activity, who can be distinctly recognised by the Antichrist’s measures. And I want to inform you of his success …. since he will fight with much cunning and force he will find many followers …. He will succeed in doing what many before him had failed to do, he will shake the faith which seemed unshakable …. He will overturn religious doctrines with the greatest of ease for he will be an effective speaker and will show people the error of their thinking, and those who don’t carry Me in their heart will cheer him on and agree with him, considerably strengthening his power even more.

He will achieve what no-one else has achieved before …. he will overthrow a power which was deemed insurmountable. But there is one wall he will not be able to pull down, he will meet with one resistance, namely wherever My fighters are under My guidance …. There he will fight in vain, for My fighters will be invincible since they will be protected by the shield of faith which is so alive that it is strength in itself and cannot be shaken. These fighters of Mine will draw the strength directly from Me, for they will be able to hear and even see Me and not succumb to any temptation …. they will be enlightened and therefore will also recognise what hour has tolled and how close it is to the end …. The right knowledge will provide My Own with the strength to persevere to the end; but the majority of people will lack the right knowledge, and when it is given to them they will not accept it.

But I know what will happen and want to help you, and Am only able to do it such that you will be informed about the battle of light against darkness in the last days before the end, about My adversary’s great power and your heavenly Father’s even greater love and grace for everyone wanting to remain His Own, who thus have the sincere will to belong to the small flock whose shepherd I Am and whom I therefore will not abandon during the worst battle of faith which the people of this earth will still experience before their end ….

Amen

God speaks to the people …. power of the divine word ….

B.D. 4948 from August 10th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

What is given to you at this hour, that speak, for it is not you who speak, but it is My spirit who impels you to speak in My name. And by your words everyone will recognize your mission who is of serious and good will. The time dictates that I appear extraordinarily, that My grace is with those who believe in Me and give Me their love. And I will make Myself known to them in the word, I will confront them again and instruct them and they shall recognize their father’s voice Who speaks through a human being to all people. They are not words which the human being himself shapes into what they are through his intellect, they are words of love which I speak to you, which allow My spirit to be recognized and which flow out of My speaker’s mouth of their own accord, who wants to serve Me and allows My spirit to work in him. You humans will need obvious evidence of My love because you will often still be afflicted by weakness in view of the external circumstances you get into shortly before the end. Then you will long for My loving fatherly words which give you strength and comfort in every adversity. And if someone from My ranks then appears and speaks to you, then you may believe that it is your father Himself Who has chosen him to be His instrument so that He can make Himself known to you. And if you believe and show Me your love you will also recognize My voice and it will make you happy. And what you hear are the same words I spoke to you when I lived on earth, they are words which shall help you to eternal life, they are words of encouragement and comfort, of encouragement to believe, they are words of promise, they are words of love through which I want to win you for eternity. And anyone who accepts them will become blessed, for My word is blessed with My strength and will enable you to stand firm even in the most difficult time and to persevere until the end, until you will be delivered from all adversity ….

Amen

Effectiveness of grace dependent on the will of man ….

B.D. 4949 from August 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

Examine yourselves to what extent you are willing to be instructed in the truth. And if you seriously request it you will receive it, for then I, as the eternal truth, will also come close to you humans because your desire will then also apply to Me. And I alone am able to reveal things to you which human intellect cannot fathom. I alone can give you information on questions which human intellect is unable to answer. And I will also do so as soon as you ask Me for it and let My spirit work in you so that I can speak through it: I will draw you to Me through My grace …. for without My grace you will not find the path to Me, without My grace you lack strength. Hence the flow of My love has to pour out upon you and I have to pour out My grace upon you in fullest measure. Since I now love all My living creations, all My living creations will also receive equal attention from Me, yet not all of them are equally willing to accept My gift of grace and therefore determine the measure of grace which takes effect in them. Since I gave you a test to pass as free-willed people, it is understandable that this will may not be influenced by Me in any way …. Therefore, if the grace given to you were immediately and unhindered effective it would be like a compulsion on My living creations; thus grace would have to shape them into the beings they once were and shall become again. And My love would be the guarantee that all creations would be redeemed in no time at all, because My grace is exceedingly effective. The being would then have become through My will, through My help, but what it should and also can become through free will if it accepts My help. Consequently, I also have to make the effectiveness of My grace dependent on the human being’s will turned towards Me in order to eliminate a spiritual imperfection. Thus the effectiveness of My grace is certain if it is desired, however, for an unwilling person who is still turned away from Me the grace remains ineffective until he willingly turns to Me again, from Whom he once willingly separated himself. My grace can be used without measure, My bestowal of grace knows no limit and ensures the spiritual ascent, the spiritual maturity, for the willing person in a short time. Thus every person would have to become irrevocably blessed if I had not imposed a condition for effectiveness which only consists of the will turned towards Me, of the conscious striving towards Myself. The flow of grace can therefore exert its effect if it is not resisted, so that the human being’s will can also change if grace touches him and he surrenders to its effect without resistance …. if his will is therefore undecided as to where it should turn, thus the decision of will downwards has not yet taken place. The latter feels seized by My grace and its effect will be obvious and also recognized for what it is …. as an act of mercy by the eternal love Which wants to win back Its creations. A soul without resistance, even if it has not yet found the path to Me, feels the effect of grace and submits to it, a soul turned towards Me is impelled by it towards Me, but a soul still opposed to Me remains unaffected by grace because it may not be forced to give up its resistance but should do so of its own free will in order to become blissfully happy. Grace and will therefore relate to each other in such a way that the will determines the effect of grace but not grace the direction of the will. For I do not make the human being’s will unfree through My love and mercy, but just as I never helplessly hand the human being over to the opposing force but again and again approach him with My grace so that he will test its effect, i.e. give up his resistance against Me and allow himself to be drawn by Me in order to also obviously experience the effect of My grace. I help everyone through My grace but I don’t force anyone to let it take effect but leave the human being’s will fullest freedom ….

Amen
