Earthly life purpose: serving in love in free will ….
B.D. 4950 from August 13th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
This is the purpose of your earthly life, that you humans serve each other in love, because only serving love is true love for your neighbour. The human being must not believe that he can manage without the help of his fellow human being. He needs his neighbour, just as he should help him. Because love should ignite in the human heart, the fellow human being must sometimes be dependent on help, otherwise he would not be given the opportunity to develop his love. What can be proven in the whole of material creation is that everything has its purpose, that therefore every work of creation serves by fulfilling its purpose in a state of necessity to contribute to the preservation and enlivenment of other works of creation …. This is also the human being’s task, to serve, however in free will, thus out of love for God and his neighbour. And this serving love alone redeems the human being, for thereby he cancels the old sin, the apostasy of the spiritual from God in arrogance and lust for power …. But anyone who does not submit to this commandment of love for God and his neighbour is still full of arrogance, he does not recognize his purpose of earthly life and therefore remains unredeemed …. he cannot move in freedom after laying down his body, he has not made use of earthly life, he has lived it in vain …. even if it has brought him earthly advantage and he can look back on a busy life at the end. It is about the soul of man, not about his body. The body was given to him so that the soul could mature in him, the body was only the means to an end, for the soul is immortal, but the body dies, and the soul takes nothing of what it has acquired on earth over into the spiritual kingdom. Therefore, as long as the human being only cares for himself and lives apathetically next to his fellow human being, as long as he does not have an open heart and eye for his fellow human being’s hardship, he is dominated by selfish love, which is a great obstacle for the soul’s upward development. For this self-love pulls down, self-love is a wrongly directed love which never has a redeeming effect but binds the human being even more, which puts itself like a fetter around his spirit, which can never be brought to awakening through self-love. Anyone who loves himself will always look down on his fellow human being, and serving in unselfish neighbourly love is impossible for him, for the ruling principle is still in him and holds him back from every treatment of love. Now the deeper humanity is in selfish love, the greater will also be the earthly adversity which God Himself uses as a means to kindle the flame of love for the neighbour in the heart. Whose heart is touched by the hardship of his fellow human being is not yet hardened and his salvation is not in question. It must be earthly hardship when spiritual hardship has become so great that love has grown cold in people’s hearts …. Then God seeks to warm people’s hearts with the adversity of their fellow human beings so that they fulfil their purpose of earthly life, to increase their soul’s maturity through serving neighbourly love, for only love redeems them, only love sets the soul free and gives it light and strength, only love pulls the soul up from the abyss to the height, only love leads it out of the darkness of night into light and freedom ….
Amen

Answering prayer in spirit and in truth ….
B.D. 4951 from August 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Ask for My help in every adversity and you will experience the fulfilment of My promise: Ask and it will be given to you, knock and it will be opened to you. For I truly give you, who pray to Me in spirit and in truth, everything you ask for if it will bring salvation to your soul. Likewise, I will also give you information or an answer if you ask Me, for I will place the answer into your heart, i.e. you will feel what I want to tell you as an answer if only you pay attention to your inner voice after heartfelt prayer to Me. You can confidently entrust everything that moves you, everything that makes you undecided, to Me and I will take care of you and share every worry with you. No prayer will go unheard which is directed up to Me in spirit and in truth. Therefore, if you believe in Me, in My love and omnipotence, and let your prayer ascend in this faith, you must also trust Me that I will hear you in a way which is good for you. You therefore need receive no other answer than this: I know everything and already guide you correctly, I lead you and give you the right thoughts as soon as you only commend yourselves to Me, thus choose Me as your leader. If you let Me Myself be your advisor in every spiritual as well as earthly matter you cannot but act and think correctly. And therefore pray in spirit and in truth before every decision you want to make, and then decide as your heart drives you, i.e., as you feel it to be right, for this feeling is the answer I send to you after heartfelt prayer for My support. I only let every adversity come upon you for the purpose that you join Me all the more intimately so that I can make Myself known to you through My help, which you will then also regard as My help if you have prayed intimately beforehand. Lift up your eyes to Me from where help comes to you in spiritual as well as earthly adversity ….
Amen

Unlimited grant of grace …. effectiveness ….
B.D. 4952 from August 18th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
You will be granted a full measure of grace as long as you live on earth. And therefore no-one will be able to say that he was meagrely provided for by Me so that the light of realization was not perceptible. I step into every person’s path and point him to the truth, which he will always accept if he has the will to ascend. In every situation of life he is offered the opportunity to enter the path, the path of love, which inevitably leads to knowledge. The whole of earthly life shows a chain of gifts of grace, aids which My love continuously gives to him so that he fulfils his purpose of earthly life. No-one needs to pass by when I want to bestow My grace upon him, he only needs to open his heart and receive the gifts of grace, he only needs to use his will in the right way and the grace I bestow upon him unmeasured will become effective so that he will become blissfully happy. The human being need not possess comprehensive wisdom but only live according to My will, which even the most simple person can recognize because it is placed in his heart what is good and what is evil. Even the most simple-minded person can listen to the voice of conscience and heed it, he can be good or evil from within, he does not lack the knowledge for it as long as he does not silence the voice within himself by consciously transgressing My commandment. Anyone who is bad also knows it, even if he tries to justify his wickedness or to conceal it. This person, too, will be able to experience My grace, he, too, will be placed in situations where he can reflect on himself and change. Then I will stand by his path again and hold out a measure of grace to him, but his will alone decides whether grace will take effect on him. Full realization, however, presupposes a willingness to make use of My grant of grace, it presupposes an opening of the heart to My flow of grace which then, however, will also take effect in such a way that the human being will be transferred from the state of ignorance into brightest light …. Only a person who is active in love will ever possess full knowledge, who has therefore given up all resistance and therefore also feels My allocation of grace and exposes himself to its effect. Every person receives grace, whether he is good or evil …. But it does not find any resistance in the good person, whereas the evil person is still full of resistance against Me and therefore does not accept My gift either. Yet I will not give meagrely to anyone because all people are My living creations whom I love and want to win for Myself forever. Yet I make the effectiveness of My grace dependent on the human being’s will, otherwise it will not be a blessing for him ….
Amen

Grace ….
B.D. 4953 from August 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Whoever has experienced God’s grace in himself should also take care that others come into his possession, and this is already a sign that it has become effective in him. Therefore, a person should help his fellow human beings, just as he was helped in spiritual as well as earthly adversity. Help in earthly adversity is a work of unselfish neighbourly love and at the same time a sure means of securing a treasure of grace, and man then uses this again to help in spiritual adversity. God gives His grace to the humble. The humble person serves his fellow human being, and thus serving neighbourly love is always the path that leads to God’s inexhaustible source of grace. God’s grace is the expression of His love and mercy, it is a gift which is intended to lift the weak fallen person up to Him; furthermore, it is a means to resist temptations of all kinds, it is the source of strength which emerges from divine mercy and is available to the human being undeservedly, from which he can take and use according to his own will. The human being who is willing to love receives grace in abundance, which he acquires through his activity of love. But it also flows to the loveless person, only it usually remains ineffective because he does not pay attention to it. Thus the human being can accept or reject a gift that is offered to him, but he can also acquire a treasure, i.e. increase what he receives as a gift a thousandfold through his own will, i.e. through serving neighbourly love. Grace is everything that God bestows on man so that he may become blessed. All means of beatification are means of grace, because it is an act of grace of immeasurable importance, if God helps the fallen away from Him to reach a height again, which he could never reach by his own strength. God’s infinite love and mercy helps the fallen one to strength, but does not force it upon him, but makes it dependent on his will to accept or reject it. Everything is therefore grace which promotes the spiritual’s ascent development, except that grace cannot be rejected in the preliminary stages, whereas the spiritual, which is embodied as a human being, is free to make use of it or to disregard it. And it follows that every person can become blissfully happy if he wants to …. because everyone can also make use of grace if he wants to, and no-one will go empty-handed as long as he stays on earth as a human being. Yet no constraint is imposed on his will, otherwise God’s grace would work in every person but this would not be a free ascent and thus spiritual perfection would be impossible, which, however, is the final aim of everything that became imperfect in free will and is therefore also unhappy as long as it does not use God’s grace ….
Amen

Knowing God only through truth ….
B.D. 4954 from August 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Anyone who has recognized Me will also remain faithful to Me in the last battle on this earth. For his soul no longer leaves Me because the spirit within it leads it to Me. Anyone who has recognized Me also knows the truth, for I Myself convey it to him, and this truth gives him the strength to stand up for faith in Me and My kingdom, thus to confess Me before the world. But the human being must have recognized Me first …. And to recognize Me means to form a correct, truthful image of his creator and father of eternity. A distorted image of Me will never give him the strength to stand firm in faith, for the opposing forces shake the foundations of faith too violently so that it collapses in itself if the object of faith is found to be defective. A God whose nature is not recognized as supremely perfect will be dropped as soon as the going gets tough. And therefore it is extremely important that people learn to recognize Me, which again is only possible if they are taught the truth. But the world is full of lies and error …. And a building which was founded on lies and error will never stand. Therefore such a structure must collapse in itself if its foundations are shaken. And I will make sure that this happens one day, because I, as the eternal truth, certainly allow people’s will to be free if it distorts the pure truth, but I will never allow anything that deviates from the truth to endure. Truth will triumph and error and lies will perish …. There have always been people who recognized what was wrong and took action against it, yet My adversary always found favour when he brought error and lies into the light and undermined the truth …. People wanted to serve Me and yet they were the servants of the one who is My enemy …. Yet they were not forced into this service, again and again I let them be warned, again and again My spirit worked in those who seriously strove for the truth. Yet My voice was overheard and My adversary’s voice was listened to until a stage was reached where the ascent to Me only became possible with difficulty, whereas the descent was all the more certain. And now I call a halt to all those who walk in darkness …. I will ignite a light for them again which will show them the right path, I will send light bearers towards them and let the lie and error be brightly illuminated, I will show Myself to people as I am in truth and not as I am portrayed by blind guides, I want to help all people to recognize Me, and therefore I reveal Myself …. Whoever recognizes Me remains faithful to Me until the end, and therefore you should learn to see everything that is false and free yourselves from it, for you can only follow one, Me or My adversary …. the eternal truth or the prince of lies …. The lie must give way when the truth appears; but whoever flees from the truth is not My, but My adversary’s, share. And he will fail in the last battle on this earth, which will be waged as surely as My word is truth and can only be understood by those who have been taught the truth, who have been taught by Me Myself through My spirit, who recognized Me as eternal truth and therefore remain faithful to Me until the end ….
Amen

Small flock at the end …. gap widens …. God's help ….
B.D. 4955 from August 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
The gulf will become ever wider between My own and satan’s children, for people are increasingly distancing themselves from Me and turning to the one who is the master of matter insofar as it still harbours the spiritual, which is completely of its own mind, i.e. of a will turned away from Me. Therefore you, who strive spiritually and turn your thoughts and aspirations towards Me, will always stand more and more isolated in the midst of the world, you will be shunned by the children of the world or scorned and ridiculed by your fellow human beings who have already become devils and are devoid of all love and faith. But then you will also realize that the end is not far away, for I have foretold you that in the end there will only be a small flock which is Mine, which recognizes its shepherd in Me and respects My voice. But the majority no longer know Me, yet not without fault, for My love also wooed them, yet they did not accept My love, they strove ever further away from Me and fell into deepest night because they shied away from the light which I offered them in My love. In the world, however, only will-o’-the-wisps shine and they chase after their appearance and splendour, they do what the prince of the world commands them, they strive for earthly possessions and seek fulfilment in the pleasures of the world, they only think of physical comfort but not of their soul. Again and again I step into the path of the individual, again and again narrow paths branch off from the broad path, paths that are difficult to pass, where I stand and try to pull them over from the path that leads to ruin. But they walk past Me with their eyes turned away, they do not see because they do not want to see …. But if they meet a messenger from Me they blaspheme and try to harm him wherever they can, driven by My adversary to whom they are in bondage through their will. My gift of grace is not appreciated and you, My servants on earth, will stand alone the closer it gets to the end. But you need not fear anything because I am always with you and therefore you will never be lonely. You will certainly stand alone amongst unbelievers but My own will recognize each other and stick together and draw comfort and strength from My word. And this word of Mine will compensate them for everything they have to do without. Those who are in bondage to My adversary are earthly well provided for, they lack nothing. And therefore they look down on the meagre, needy people and are without mercy. Yet My love does not abandon My own, even though earthly hardship approaches them in an unusual way. My own can be recognized by the fact that they certainly live in physical adversity but their souls are free from fear because they recognize Me as their father and are certain of My care. And thus they will often be strengthened and comforted by their fellow human beings; yet My help will also be obvious, just as satan is obviously effective. The separation will always be more and more accomplished the closer the end is, and the two camps will wage a battle with each other, the children of satan in hatred and unkindness, My own, on the other hand, still want to convert them and try to win them over for Me and My kingdom in love. But the gulf will widen until it has become unbridgeable, until the last end comes, the Day of Judgment, when the goats will be separated from the sheep and both will receive punishment or reward according to merit. For he who is not for Me is against Me, he who does not gather scatters …. He who believes in Me also confesses Me before the world …. but he who does not confess Me belongs to My adversary, and he will also share his fate, he will be condemned on the Day of Judgment, when My justice will speak, because the time is fulfilled ….
Amen

Rejecting the gift of God's grace …. darkness ….
B.D. 4956 from August 25th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
God’s grace must not be rejected …. Consider these words and then you will understand that people have to go through suffering and misery in order to reach the aim by another path, which they could effortlessly achieve by using My grace. I struggle for every soul, I don’t want it to get lost and that is why I meet it again and again with My grace; I want to help it to reach the aim because I know that it is too weak on its own to seriously strive towards the aim of redeeming itself. Hence, where it lacks the strength to do so My love will bestow grace upon it without measure, and it need only surrender to the effect of My grace without resistance, it need only allow itself to be drawn by My love and thus make use of the gift of grace …. And it will be saved for eternity. Yet in their blindness people do not recognize My love and therefore also reject My grace. But I nevertheless have mercy on them and take their state of darkness into account, for I don’t condemn people, only they don’t free themselves from satan’s shackles, which are equal to condemnation because they signify complete remoteness from God. I have mercy on blind and ignorant people and therefore step into their path again and again. They certainly reject Me and My gift of grace but they lack the knowledge of what they are doing, and therefore I do not reject them but woo them on and on. But anyone who rejects My grace but has recognized it as grace sins against My love and cannot expect mercy. I will indeed approach him again and again but it will be far more difficult for him to recognize Me than before, because I will try to soften his heart with painful means and he will only be able to recognize Me with difficulty in such means. Suffering, too, is a gift of grace because it is meant to lead the human being to Me if he cannot find the path on his own or does not want to take it. And thus you will also understand that a precious gift will not be offered twice by Me to the person who rejects it and yet had the knowledge, thus knows its value very well. He will have to answer for the gift of grace he rejected. But he will also walk in darkness because the light I offered him has been extinguished through his own fault and now the darkness is far deeper than before. I guide the light from heaven down to earth, and whoever is touched by its ray can illuminate his inner being and chase away the spiritual darkness. It is an immeasurable gift of grace which I distribute on earth, and My wisdom can truly recognize it who can be the guardian of this light. Yet it is never My will that the human being absorbs this divine light and thereby creates brightness for himself …. Yet the fact that he can recognize it as light from the heavens if he wants to recognize it is the effect of this gift of grace which appears in every person who seriously strives towards Me and thus uses all means My love offers him. And thus ignorance cannot be used as an excuse when the human being has to answer for his rightly or wrongly used will. Instead, the soul’s resistance to My love and mercy will become obvious and thus also its affiliation to My adversary, who also influences the human being from below and impels him to reject My gift of grace. The human being is free, he is neither forced from above nor from below where the spiritual development of the soul is concerned. And thus a gift of grace will never be forced upon him again if he does not stretch out his hands longingly for it, yet whether it will ever be offered to him again on earth is doubtful, for only a repentant soul which sincerely asks Me for it can be touched by the radiation of light again. Yet anyone who once rejects My grace will fall into deepest darkness and shun all light, because the prince of darkness will pull him down and he will surrender to his power and strength without resistance ….
Amen

Love for the world – disease …. No-one can serve two masters ….
B.D. 4957 from August 27th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
The love for the world is a creeping disease which will definitely lead to spiritual death. And thus you can appreciate that your Father in heaven will quite often have to resort to painful means in order to rescue you from this death, in order to enable your spiritual recovery, in order to make you relinquish the world and its pleasures and attain eternal life …. It would be misguided compassion were I to shy away from such means only to prevent you from suffering during your earthly life; it would be misguided love which would not be a blessing but only a disaster for your soul. My wisdom, however, looks ahead and My love tries to help you. The fact that you have to relinquish the world in order to attain Me is inevitable, and if you do not sacrifice it voluntarily I will have to take what is dear to your heart. And this is why you so often have to suffer on earth, even if your way of life is not blatantly evil. Yet you are still permeated by wrong love, by love for matter, by the kind of love which first has to be redirected if it is to make you happy. And as long as you don’t eliminate this love from your hearts I cannot enter them, for where I stay all earthly longing must have been overcome.
And again I must say: No-one can serve two masters …. I Am not content with shared love, however, My adversary, the prince of the World, will not allow that you do not give him the sole right over your soul either. And thus the human being has no choice but to make a decision …. for Me or for him. But as long as he desires the world his decision is for him, who pulls him down into ruin. He will indeed give you plenty during your earthly life, but after your death you will be utterly poverty-stricken in the beyond, and torment and darkness will be your fate …. My gifts, however, are less enticing on earth for they consist of spiritual possessions which have little attraction for you humans during your earthly life, but after your death they represent an immeasurable wealth which makes you blissfully happy and turns you into children of the kingdom of light forever. I offer incomparably more than My adversary, yet his gifts dazzle you and make you hanker after them. But remember life after death …. remember the hour of your passing away is not known to you, that it can be very soon and that you then will lose whatever earthly goods you possess. Then you will have to fear the hour of death …. Yet you will yearn for it if you have gathered spiritual treasures, if you renounce earthly goods in order to exchange them for gifts offered by Me. Then you will long for the hour of death, for you know that when you leave the earth it will be the hour of entering eternal life. Earthly life will seem like a fleeting moment to you, and yet it is decisive for the whole of eternity. And therefore you should understand it when I afflict humanity with all kinds of calamities and take everything away that seems desirable to them. It is not cruelty but love and wisdom, which indeed realises and understands why you humans are in danger and wants to rescue you from it.
Anyone who must suffer should know himself loved by Me, but anyone who receives the possessions of life in abundance is already subject to My adversary, for I know his will and do not compel him to change it. Yet even these people will be approached by Me through their fellow human beings who shall touch their hearts so that they will change their nature into love. Then even they will still be redeemed with certainty. But if their hearts are hardened their good living standard will noticeably continue to get better, for the ‘master of the world’ will give to them in abundance, because they sold their soul for the sake of earthly possessions and their spiritual death will be assured to them ….

Own will activity …. blind leaders and their followers ….
B.D. 4958 from August 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
People let themselves drift without any resistance. They are brought into existence as beings capable of living and thinking, who are to use their abilities for their upward development. They can want and act and should also use their gifts. For the most part, they let themselves drift like a plaything. What is done to them, they put up with without resistance, and thus there are always only a few who want and act and determine their fellow human beings with their will. And these few are not always good, i.e., they do not always determine their fellow human beings for the good. Rather, it is precisely those people who still spiritually oppose Me who have a strong will. Consequently, this will is transferred to them to the detriment of their fellow human beings and they do not defend themselves. This also explains the acceptance of the many misguided teachings which could very well be recognized by the slightest activity of one’s own will and thoughts. But letting oneself drift without resistance is no defence against teachings which are offered to people by strong-willed and energetic fellow human beings. They therefore use their will too little and harm themselves, i.e. their soul. But I have given every individual the task to decide freely during earthly life and this decision inevitably demands his own activity of will and thought. One day you will not be able to excuse yourselves by saying that you only followed the instructions which were given to you as important for your soul’s salvation. You will not be able to shift the blame onto those who taught you, even if they were given to you as teachers and also proclaimed the pure truth to you. For this too requires your mental attitude towards it, otherwise you would not be able to recognize it as truth. It is a matter of the upward development of each individual soul …. which certainly needs guides in order to reach the heights, but must not follow everyone who offers himself as a guide. Understand that there are many paths and that you should choose the right one. Therefore you must take care of the path yourselves and not blindly follow a guide who, if he is not good himself, can also take the wrong path. I not only demand accountability from these leaders but also from you, otherwise you could truly receive neither reward nor punishment for the right or wrong way of life on earth but only your leader would have deserved it. How can you claim that you have to be obedient to your leaders? You should only fulfil My will, and you have to get to know it yourselves, which can certainly happen through external instruction, but without your mental attitude it cannot lead to the revival and activity of the will. A good guide will always encourage you to think, and you can also follow him …. but a bad leader demands blind faith in him and his teachings. But I condemn blind faith, for it will not awaken you to life. A blind faith testifies to spiritual sloth, idle will and lack of sense of responsibility; a blind faith kills instead of enlivening, and it will never lead to eternal bliss. I Myself did not create you differently from your guides, I gave you a heart which is capable of love if you are willing and which therefore can also attain realization if the human being strives for it. But if he is weak-willed the guide should help him to use his will correctly, he should certainly support him by instructing him but also demand thought from you, otherwise his instructions are pointless. For every person must make the decision himself and one day also answer for this decision ….

Suffering proves God's love …. Fire of purification ….
B.D. 4959 from August 31th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Accept every burden of life and know that it is necessary in order for you to deliver yourselves from every impediment which is still encumbering your soul. One day you shall freely and without hindrance dwell in spheres that are permeated by light, by that time your soul must have discarded every layer or it will be unable to receive the abundance of light, otherwise the light would meet with resistance which prevents it from entering the soul. What you have to endure on earth only makes it easier for the soul to detach itself from its oppressing shell, so that it can repel what is still tormenting it, what is still tying it down and thus keeping it enslaved. But the kingdom of the blissful spirits knows no impediments, this is why it can only accommodate the pure and wholly spiritualised soul which is free of all impurities that could prevent the permeation of light. The soul must have attained its original state again when, being light itself, it was divine and in intimate contact with the eternal Deity, because it was part of It, a spark of the Eternal Light. All impurities must have been removed first, and that means that the soul must have experienced a fire of purification, which can be the result of intense suffering but also of profound love, but which is always successful.
Hence you humans should not complain if you have to suffer, instead, consider suffering as proof of God’s love, Who only ever has your soul’s purification in mind in order to provide it with a blissful fate once it enters the spiritual kingdom. Then the soul will bless the suffering and with tremendous gratitude look back on earthly life which, through suffering, resulted in the state of being receptive to light and enabled it to stay close to God in blissful happiness. On earth it is incapable of appreciating the Father’s great love and kindness and often rebels against its destiny. Submission, however, guarantees more of God’s love, but more suffering also assures higher maturity of soul and life in spiritual spheres in eternal beatitude ….

Love and faith ….
B.D. 4960 from September 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 56
People lack love and faith and this is their undoing. Their hardened hearts, which only love themselves and cannot muster any feeling for their suffering fellow human beings, are also incapable of believing in a creator of heaven and earth, for faith comes forth from love, faith only comes alive through love. And that is why at the time of the end there is great spiritual hardship, the state of darkness and sin. For without love and without faith there is no light and no knowledge for people either; and therefore they succumb to God’s adversary, the prince of darkness, who is devoid of all love and also extinguishes it in people. People are completely without life, for earthly life is only short and then they succumb to spiritual death, which is dreadfully agonizing because there is no extinction for the soul but life is inconceivable in the state the soul is in after its physical death. For love and faith alone are life-awakening, where love and faith are missing, there is death. For love and faith secure the union with God, but without God there is no life, without God there is darkness and powerlessness and thus a state of inactivity, the epitome of death …. People only believe what they see, and they only love themselves. They reject everything spiritual, which is not tangible or visible to them, precisely because they have no love within themselves which, as a divine principle, would also revive faith in God, because then God Himself could work in the human being and His presence would also become an inner conviction for him. But without love the heart is mute, it is far from God and does not feel His strength. And thus the intellect cannot be moved to acknowledge a being Which is the creator of everything that surrounds the human being. The heart cannot instruct the intellect because it is itself inaccessible to all instruction, for the lack of love prevents the working of the spirit which instructs the human being from within and emotionally presents the truth to him. Where love and faith are lacking, the human heart is silent and the soul is in great distress. But in order to shape the human being into love, much earthly hardship is necessary so that he will be touched by the misery of his fellow human beings and the spark of love will be ignited in him …. Only then will his own spiritual hardship begin to fade away, only then will his heart become light, and only then will his intellect consider the questions which provide him with information about his destiny, about his creator of eternity and his relationship with Him …. Only then will he learn to believe, and the more active love becomes in him the more convinced his faith will also become, and the spiritual darkness will give way to the light of day, to right knowledge and to life …. Love and faith determine life in eternity, but they also illuminate the human being’s spiritual state on earth. For without love and faith there is no spiritual rebirth and no union with God, without love and faith there is no redemption, and the soul remains eternally in the night of death. For it is far from God and therefore cannot be blissfully happy either ….
Amen

Love for God and one's neighbour ….
B.D. 4961 from September 2nd 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Whatever you want people to do to you when you suffer adversity you should also do to them …. That is the commandment of neighbourly love, which is the most important commandment for you because it includes the love for God at the same time. For whoever loves his neighbour like his brother also loves the Father above all else, Whose child is the neighbour. And thus you humans know what you ought to do in order to become blessed, for these two commandments are the epitome of My will, the fulfilment of which is your earthly task. If you pay attention to these two commandments of love for God and your neighbour you will be unable to commit a sin but will live to please Me, and I will bless you in turn by increasing your realisation and wisdom, light and strength. Yet you humans also know that you are repeatedly approached by the opponent in order to push you off the right path, in order to make you desert Me. And therefore he will try to prevent you from arousing My favour …. He will try to stop you from loving Me and your neighbour and time and again persuade you to transgress these commandments of Mine. He will make you conscious of the fact that you are more important, that you should think of yourselves first and thus let selfish love dominate, so that you will have no understanding for your fellow human being’s hardship and neglect Me in favour of your own endeavours …. earthly possessions, which are temporary.
And thus you will have to decide, you will have to choose Me or My adversary …. you will have to fulfil My commandments or perish in selfish love, for My adversary only wants your ruin. But the love you give Me and your neighbour will make you happy, for this love is truly strength and increases spiritual possessions. Your one and only purpose in life is to help your fellow human being, for selfless neighbourly love is the right means of release for your soul, it is the purchase price for eternal beatitude. In the spiritual kingdom, however, love is natural, whereas on earth it is an effort to rise above oneself, because selfish love still constitutes a strong counterweight which, however, is wrongly directed love and locks the entrance to the kingdom of the blessed spirits. Love comes forth from Me and leads back to Me again, but anyone who is without love has voluntarily excluded himself from My circuit and is therefore at risk of falling prey to the one who is entirely without love because he is My opponent. That is why he has to be fought, love shall be practised and therefore My commandment always be complied with; you shall shape yourselves into love through selfless labours of love so that you will correspond to My fundamental nature, so that you will liberate yourselves from your enemy’s bondage, so that you will unite with Me and be eternally happy ….
Amen

Taking advantage of the time of grace before the end ….
B.D. 4962 from September 3rd 1950, taken from Book No. 56
There is still a time of grace, for the end is not yet here …. The human being still has the opportunity to take the right path which leads upwards, and My means of grace are still at his disposal so that he can reach his aim. The human being is still free to do whatever he wants for the salvation of his soul. He can still strive upwards, he will be helped in every way if his will is directed upwards …. There is still a time of grace …. But soon it will be over, and then what has been determined since eternity will irrevocably happen, then that beingness will be bound in matter again, which at present still walks on earth as a human being. It cannot be made clear to you humans how immensely significant this is, and I can only influence you through warnings and admonitions, but you don’t believe them much. And again and again I would like to call out to you: Use the time of grace, listen to My words which are conveyed to you through seers and prophets, that the time until the end is only short. Recognize My love in the fact that I repeatedly send you admonishers and warnings because I want to save you from the fate of a renewed banishment in My works of creation. Use the time of grace in which you can still change according to My will. As long as this earth still exists you can also appeal to My love and grace, to My patience and mercy, and you will never make a wrong request if you pray for your spiritual well-being and request My support. I grant it to you in abundance, yet I take pity on your state and your dreadful fate if you fail and persist in your resistance against Me until the end. It is still the time of grace when I will use all means which can still help you if you do not resist Me. Isolated little lights still shine which can illuminate the darkness of your path if you do not extinguish them yourselves. Again and again guides still step into your path, messengers from Me, who offer you their guidance on My behalf so that you will not go astray towards the abyss. I am constantly ready with My grace to help those who call out to Me in adversity or stand undecided at a crossroads; yet the time of grace will soon come to an end, and where each individual soul will stand on the last day, there it will have to stay for endless times through …. in light or in darkness …. Then My love and mercy will give way to justice. Then the gates of the spiritual kingdom close for those who did not use My time of grace …. Then the soul that has apostatized from Me must inevitably take the path that I wanted to spare it, the path through creation for the purpose of slowly returning to Me …. it must travel the path of ascent once again in greatest agony of being bound, because it did not heed My admonitions and warnings, because it did not avail itself of My grace, because it spurned My love ….
Amen

Words of love …. Words of wisdom …. Teaching ministry …. Criticism on publishing ….
B.D. 4963 from September 6th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
In realising your task in life, which consists of distributing the pure Word of God, everything will cause your rejection that has not come forth from the primary source of truth. But they can nevertheless be Words of love with no indwelling God-opposing spirit, and everything that is not in favour of Me is good if it inspires love. In the spiritual kingdom the beings which are permitted to teach recognise each other by their radiance, it is therefore impossible for a still spiritually unenlightened being to intervene. The earthly child which willingly opens itself to the spiritual influx will be lovingly grasped and protected by the beings of light …. I, your God and Father of eternity, Am present in spirit to all those who want to be in contact with Me. I do not abandon these people, for they are My children who have already informed Me of their will. Hence they also sense My presence, they hear Words of encouragement and of comfort from Me, they hear Words of love, which I have on hand for all people who want to listen to Me. It is also My will that they speak to their fellow human beings of My love, I want them to actively stand up for Me, that they motivate their fellow human beings to establish contact with Me as well, that they therefore guide all those into a living faith who allow themselves to be led, thus who are willing to recognise Me. I also give them the ability to speak on My behalf so that they can be successful when they vividly describe My working in them by filling their hearts with profound love for Me and their subsequent hearing of divine Words of love. This has to be said to all those who can hear Me speak in spirit, to whom I reveal Myself so that they will learn to recognise and love Me. They shall proclaim that they themselves experienced My working in them.
However, not all are assigned the task of instructing their fellow human beings, the task of imparting the divine wisdom, the eternal truth to them. For this teaching ministry requires more, only the chosen ones among those I have called shall hold such a teaching ministry and it is them who must therefore first be instructed by Me for the teaching ministry before they can work on My instructions. Anyone who wants to proclaim wisdom must be wise himself and accept his wisdom from Me, for that which should address a person’s heart must also be acceptable to the intellect. Wisdom must be recognised as wisdom, for although it requires good will to do so first it must nevertheless also stand up to serious scrutiny, which can only be expected from truthful knowledge. The intellect must not be excluded where it concern the acceptance of My pure teachings of faith. Since I gave the human being the ability to think I must also provide him with knowledge which his intellect is unable to reject if the heart is open to My instructions. Consider this, then you will understand that not everyone can be a teacher for his fellow human beings, that a person must first have penetrated the wisdom himself before he can instruct other people. Furthermore, consider that all instructions spread through print or in writing are intended to be a blessing …. that you should therefore proceed very judiciously if you don´t want to endanger the pure truth, which cannot be taught by everyone who is not called to do so. For you endanger the truth if a serious seeker of good will discovers flaws which make My nature seem implausible or imperfect to him, because his intellect also wants to form an opinion. I, your God and Father of eternity, certainly recognise your will to be of service to Me and bless you for it, yet you should not step into the public domain without My specific instruction, since you have plenty of opportunities to work in privacy, that is, in the circle I Myself bring close to you. For I look into the human hearts and know whom I bring together so that they can find Me. Yet I also know what causes deliberate rejection if it is not offered to people in the right way. I certainly give evidence of My love to all those who desire it, yet not all of them have attained the degree of maturity in order to hear My Word audibly, just as not every soul is capable of repeating what My love conveys to it mentally. For this reason such souls are not called for teaching work, although they can be very beneficial by communicating their thoughts to people in their vicinity since, if they love Me, their thoughts cannot be wrong as soon as they speak on behalf of Me and My kingdom.
On the other hand, it is quite a different situation where it concerns the public distribution of spiritual information to the human race, which lays claim to having emerged from Me directly and which should be accepted as purest truth. Then those who seriously and with good will scrutinise it intellectually must also be able to accept it, because the pure truth, having originated from Me, can certainly stand up to any test, since it speaks for itself. Even the pure truth will meet with more rejection than acceptance, but the reason for this cannot be found in the fact that it is unacceptable for a person, but that the person, due to his God-opposing relationship, is no longer capable of recognising it. But even the person most incapable of recognising relentlessly uncovers what prevents him from accepting spiritual knowledge and is delighted if he encounters a target in order to doubt the pure truth. And you should not provide him with these targets if you want to work for Me and My kingdom. You can certainly be of service to Me and constantly present Me to your fellow human beings as a God of love and mercy; you should, wherever possible, influence your fellow human beings to practise love, by living a way of life according to My will you should be an example to them, you should strive spiritually and also strive to encourage your fellow human beings to do the same, you should sincerely unite with Me and pray to Me in spirit and in truth, and you will feel My emanation of love increasingly more, you will think, act and speak correctly and thus be My faithful fighters in the battle against the one whose aim it is to ruin all those who don´t resist him. And thus you should wait until you hear My call to carry out specific work in My vineyard, for the time is not far away when I will need those of you who want to be of service to Me, and when I will assign a task to everyone according to his ability …. and blessed will be the one who serves Me ….
Amen

Knowledge of the eternal plan of salvation …. difference of "word recipients …."
B.D. 4964 from September 9th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Let yourselves be introduced to My eternal plan of salvation, i.e., accept the instructions given to you by the bearers of truth, My messengers, in order to make the events of the last days understandable to you. Think about the fact that nothing happens which is not based on My wisdom and that every event has the purpose of bringing the spiritual to maturity. As soon as you learn that every event is based on the individual person’s will insofar as the human being needs external events to change his will, as soon as you know that My love is only ever concerned about placing you into a state of perfection …. as soon as you therefore take notice of My eternal plan of salvation …. it will also be understandable to you that I will not let you, My living creations, walk on earth without spiritual care, for an ascent development, such as you are meant to achieve on earth, requires help, since you yourselves are too weak to ever achieve it without help. The spiritual guardians seek to draw you over into the kingdom of light without making your will unfree, because they love you. Thus they are, so to speak, My helpers in people’s redemption who, just like I Myself, try to influence people’s will so that it turns towards Me, so that contact is established between people and Me which is initially necessary in order to reach ascent. If this connection exists mentally, then the human being advances irrevocably. And therefore the beings of light will make every effort to guide the human being’s thoughts into the spiritual kingdom and to inform him of the eternal plan of salvation, which will make My reign and activity spiritually and also earthly comprehensible.
This transmission of knowledge about the work of spiritual redemption is a great necessity and yet can only rarely take place because it can only be imparted from above in all truth and for this impartation listeners have to be found on earth who want to and are able to receive this knowledge spiritually, who therefore do not hear the words from above with the bodily ear but with the ear of the heart. Thus the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom must be able to communicate with the human being in their language, and the human being must be able to understand their language, which is always a matter of the soul and not of the bodily organs. The knowledge of God’s plan of salvation is a higher realization, the imparting of which requires a special degree of maturity in order to be able to hear the language from the spiritual kingdom. Words of love can be conveyed to people who are worthy of them through feeling, words of wisdom, on the other hand, are heard by the spiritual ear, which only starts to function in a certain degree of maturity.
And now you will understand why a distinction has to be made with word recipients, with people who open themselves to hear My word within themselves. Again and again it has to be emphasized that words of love and words of wisdom can be received by people who are willing to love, that words of love certainly give the recipient the right to claim them for himself but also to mention them to his fellow human being because I embrace all My creations with My love and they should also know this. Words of wisdom, however, oblige the recipient to teach, for this higher knowledge is only conveyed to earth so that people will take notice of My reign and activity, so that they will receive information about My nature, so that they will recognize and learn to love Me. Only the full realization of Myself ignites love in their hearts, and since I court My living creations’ love it will always be My endeavour to introduce people to the truth in order to also win their love for eternity. Therefore I bless those who want to receive the truth from Me directly or through My messengers of light in the spiritual kingdom and now also seek to spread this truth …. I bless those who open their spiritual ear, who shape their nature in such a way that they understand the language of My messengers of light …. I bless them because they have to do a most important work, because they are to participate in the work of redemption on earth in the great spiritual adversity which precedes the last end. And I will support them and smooth all paths for them so that they will contribute to the enlightenment of the spirit out of the profound darkness which is spread across the earth. There shall be light where only one soul longs for light, because heaven and earth work together and are active on My behalf ….
Amen

Destructive will of God's adversary …. Bound spirits – Human being ….
B.D. 4965 from September 10th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Everything that is transient in the world belongs to My adversary, that is, all matter shelters imperfect spirits which My adversary once turned against Me and which therefore still oppose Me. Material Creation came into being through My will and he has no authority over it. And yet, this world belongs to him, for he can boast that the spiritual substances bound in matter are the product of his will. However, My will caused the emergence of material Creation in order to remove the spirits from their creator’s control and he will never ever be able to destroy My work of love and compassion although it is his constant endeavour. He certainly would like to liberate the spirits from the bound state I placed them in for the purpose of attaining beatitude, for as free beings the imperfect spirits would never strive towards ascent but, under the control of My adversary, would continue to descend ever further into the abyss. For this reason I removed his power over these spiritual beings and created forms he is unable to destroy, because they are My consolidated will. Thus, My adversary has no control over the spiritual substances which are still bound in matter …. However, he tries to use it all the more on the final material form which shelters the spiritual being, on the human being in the stage of free will …. He cannot force the human being to become enslaved by him yet he can seduce him in every way and try to cause him to maliciously destroy material creations as well. Thus, he uses the human being in order to accomplish his will after all …. the destruction of matter …. It is, however, up to the human being to comply with his will or to offer him resistance. And in order to win a person over for his disgraceful plans My adversary enticingly presents that to him which he himself would like to be destroyed. He tries to arouse or to increase the human being’s greed for matter and thereby also trigger instincts in him which do not shy away from destroying matter in order to enrich himself or to amass possessions, thereby taking their actual purpose of releasing themselves through being of service away from them, because the human being himself prevents the inherent spiritual substance from being helpful.
Consequently, what the enemy is unable to destroy he wants to prevent from developing further. He tries to give permanence to that which is impermanent, if his destructive will cannot reach it. And the human being obeys him only too gladly as long as matter is enticing to him and he constantly aims to increase it. If My adversary succeeds in tempting people into becoming destructively active, then the prematurely released spirits will wreak so much havoc that it will revoke the order, so that chaos will ensue which will also affect those people who want to withdraw from My adversary’s influence. For the devious spiritual beings will cause destruction everywhere, which will always happen through My adversary’s initiative who will once again exert his influence over the released spirits. This is why they will be bound again by My will …. Due to the individual person’s impulse of preservation, people, whose material possessions were destroyed, will constantly create works for helpful purposes again in which the spirits which escaped from matter will be bound once more for their continued maturing. And these works will then be even more eagerly of service, because the inherent spiritual substance will sense the relief of having been integrated into the process of development again, which it involuntarily had to abandon. It will sense the benefit of order which forms the basis for all My creations, in contrast to My adversary’s unlawful activity, which it is indeed subject to in a free state but which does not make it happy. The human being can, by virtue of his free will and My grace, which is at his disposal, resist My adversary and contribute considerably towards preventing him from destroying matter if he helps it to fulfil a serving function and only destroys it if matter is given a higher function of service. Then the human being will keep removing himself ever further from My adversary’s influence, then he will completely submit himself to My will by releasing himself and also help the spiritual substance in matter to progress in its development by not granting My adversary any power at all over himself and also trying to release matter from him, by making sure that the human being’s will always resists My adversary ….

The power of faith is grace, but it only becomes effective through the will ….
B.D. 4966 from September 12th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
The grace of the almighty God is unusually noticeable in the last days when earthly hardship takes hold of people which seems almost unbearable, and anyone who only turns to Him in his heart will be seized by His love and filled with His grace. The righteous person who professes God will increase in knowledge, and this knowledge alone is a grace, for it helps the person to gain strength of faith and, as a result, the power of resistance. The person who makes use of God’s grace will no longer feel weak, he will live consciously in the hope of soon being rescued from adversity. Strength of faith is a grace, for the human being himself will no longer work on himself in this great adversity of the end time such that he will attain increased faith on his own; yet God sees the will turned towards Him and also helps where the human being is weak, He puts a faith into his heart which is unshakeable and which allows him to endure the last time on earth. He puts faith into his heart …. but this does not mean that God allows people to believe indiscriminately through His grace. The power of faith is indeed a grace, but it only becomes effective on the one who wants to believe and asks God for help in his weakness. Truly, every person could experience God’s grace and mercy, but it requires a will turned towards Him, and this is recognizable to God at every hour. It will be a time of adversity which is not yet imaginable to you humans on earth, and good people will fear their fellow human beings who have become true devils. In this anxiety and fear they will become weak and call to God in supplication. Then they will obviously feel His grace, a confidence and peace will fill them and every weakness will be over …. They feel His presence and trustingly place themselves in the hands of God. Only the call in spirit and in truth is enough to be able to experience God’s grant of grace in the last days, and from that moment on people will walk their path more easily because they feel that they no longer walk it alone …. Wanting to recognize God and striving towards Him also makes the human being a beneficiary of divine grace, then he can no longer be weak, then he will look at everything with the eyes of the knower and that calm will enter his heart which can be described as peace in God, for he is now constantly united with God in spirit, he constantly feels the father next to him, he constantly senses His strength and might, and he knows that the end is approaching, that every day can bring him salvation from earthly adversity, that he will be saved through a miracle …. He knows that the coming of the lord in the clouds signifies the end of his earthly adversity and he awaits it with a believing heart, for his faith now has the strength which enables him to persevere and remain faithful to God until the end ….
Amen

God speaks as father to His children …. proof of love ….
B.D. 4967 from September 14th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
They are words of eternal life which reach you through the heavenly father’s love, they are words of grace and mercy, words of promise and warnings of eternal ruin; they are words of light, for they will lead you to realization, they will help you to perfection as soon as you pay attention to them and value them as the father’s greatest gift of grace to His children. Anyone who longs for His address will also hear His voice, only he should also consider what he thinks after heartfelt prayer to Him as His voice, for the heart’s inwardness, which longs for the father, will always resonate with Him Who loves His children exceedingly and longs for unity with them. Anyone who regards God as father and gives Him his childlike love will also hear His voice in his heart, for the father reveals Himself to him, He makes Himself known to him, for He is constantly present to him and His word is the surest sign of His presence. But you humans are still very far from God and therefore you do not hear His voice and do not believe those who have already established a heartfelt relationship with the father and inform you of His love for the children of this earth. He can only express Himself to a few so that they recognize Him in the word, yet His love and grace belongs to them, He draws them to Himself and never lets them fall again. The divine word is the pledge of His love, it is the evidence of His everlasting care for the human being’s soul, which He wants to possess and which therefore has to shape itself according to His will in order to be able to dwell in His presence. Therefore He constantly instructs them, He constantly admonishes and teaches them and thus increases people’s spiritual possessions which will one day benefit them in eternity, which guarantee the soul a ‘life’ in the spiritual kingdom, a constant activity according to God’s will. Words which God Himself imparts to people on earth will never remain ineffective as soon as the human being desires them himself, i.e. shapes himself in such a way that he is able to hear the father’s voice. Then they will also guarantee eternal life, for then they will not fade away at the human ear but echo in the heart and, as strength from God, also be life-awakening. Everyone can hear the divine word, but this presupposes an intimate connection with God, namely a connection of the heart, for words alone do not attract God’s love. And God knows about His children’s love and also considers them according to this love. He comes so close to them that they can feel Him and then also hear His words as clear thoughts through which He makes Himself known to them. Love for God expects His word, and He also gives Himself to a believing earthly child to give it proof of His love. His word helps people to become blissfully happy, therefore His word should be the first and last desire of the person who has recognized Him through His grace, then it will constantly resound in him and His strength will take effect in him …. he will live forever ….
Amen

Test the spirits …. Satan's great power before the end …. Doubts ….
B.D. 4968 from September 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
You will experience ever more doubt and confusion thanks to My adversary’s incentive who wants to pull you away from Me and also prevent the pure truth from establishing itself as it will glaringly highlight his activity. He is therefore always keen to isolate My followers and representatives on earth, to stop their connection with people who want to educate them and introduce them to the truth. He proceeds with great cunning and in a disguise which even My Own find difficult to recognise. He spreads his poisonous seeds all over the place to render everything which is intended to have a life-giving effect incapable of living. He instils severe doubts in the hearts of those who work for God and His kingdom …. But anyone in doubt should turn to Me directly and I, as the eternal Truth, will help him at all times, for it is My will that the truth shall be spread and that everything shall be denounced which does not correspond to truth …. I can certainly impart the truth to you directly, however, as long as you are not receptive for communications from the spiritual kingdom you will be instructed through My messengers, and you should scrutinise their credibility, their faithfulness, that is, their way of life according to My will. Then you will be able to form a correct judgment, then you will be beneficially affected by the pure truth and you will recognise that which does not and never can come from Me.
My adversary will put even the staunchest champions of faith under severe pressure with his weapon of deception and falsehood. He, too, pretends to be devout and devoted to God if he can thereby cause confusion. He does not eschew from using the mask he hides behind and presents himself as My representative on earth, yet it is easily recognisable for anyone who wants to belong to Me and is watchful. He can be recognised; consequently, not one of My Own needs to be afraid of getting caught up in his web of lies, as long as he genuinely wants to do what is right. He can only cause confusion in weak or undecided people who have not entirely escaped from his power. And he is only able to deceive them because they don’t take an examination seriously and don’t keep strictly to My Word, which always helps them to become aware.
Anyone who lives a life of love, who therefore lives up to My Word, cannot be deceived by illusive words of love, for My adversary will never preach unselfish love but always endorse that which will provide people with earthly success, even if the word ‘love’ is used as an excuse, for then selfish love becomes the driving force of action, which I never have preached nor ever will preach to people. The spirits which visibly or invisibly approach people must be tested, and they can certainly be recognised if the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ is mentioned to them …. if I Myself Am called upon in spirit and in truth for help with every serious scrutiny …. If complete clarification about Jesus, the Son of God, and His act of Salvation is demanded from these spirits they will have to speak up …. regardless of whether they are spiritual beings or embodied as humans. And every spiritual being which stands up for Christ and His act of Salvation, which acknowledges Him as the Son of God, is good and will never cause you harm. But if a being, be it human or spiritual, portraying itself as a saviour, as someone chosen by Me or as an anointed being designed to influence you, merely avails itself of Jesus’ name in order to make you listen to it, then it is an emissary of hell which can only mislead those who are enslaved by it or the weak, who merely expect from it and its propositions worldly-material improvements, therefore they should not be spiritually acknowledged as My messengers. My adversary has great power, especially during the last days before the end, but it will never be so great that it could be detrimental to you, My faithful followers, for if you live a life of love you will be spiritually enlightened and recognise Satan’s machinations …. However, many people are still captivated by him, and they themselves grant him the power he exerts over them. He will certainly still cause much confusion amongst people, yet My Own will not fall prey to him, and even the tiniest spark of desire for truth will find Me prepared to hand out My grace so that My adversary’s activity shall be recognised and abhorred. You, who are true yourselves, should therefore not fear his mask …. a heartfelt thought sent up to Me makes his influence ineffective and you will brightly and clearly recognise what is true and what is false ….
Amen

Light – Shadow of death …. Deceptive light – God's help by means of sickness and suffering ….
B.D. 4969 from September 19th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Anyone who is not impressed by My Word is still subject to the shadow of death, he does not recognise the light and deliberately keeps his eyes closed because he prefers darkness and thus prevents the light from entering. He keeps his sights on the world where deceptive lights are constantly flashing and dazzling his eyes, so that that he either fails to see the gentle light shining from the spiritual kingdom or entirely ignores it for the sake of the secular light. He is enthralled by everything of an earthly nature and, if he is approached by a messenger of light with My Word which suggests that he should renounce earthly possessions for the sake of his soul’s salvation, he turns away indignantly, because he has no concept of the life of the soul and does not want to relinquish the world because he feels comfortable in it, and thus he is approaching spiritual death. My Word could provide him with spiritual treasures, My Word could give him a light which soothes his soul, My Word could awaken him to eternal life, yet he is taken in by the world and only looks for and desires that which provides his body with comfort. He remains in the dark despite the world’s deceptive light …. For this reason I want to help him learn to despise the world by presenting its possessions as transient and worthless, by allowing his body to grow weak and by reminding him of his physical death. Even that which a person deems most desirable I allow to fall apart and to shatter, I let the person suffer earthly adversity and distress, bear suffering and illness and make him realise that the world will not help him. I allow the person to plunge down from an earthly elevated position, I allow poverty to replace wealth, and only ever for the purpose of his recognising the worthlessness and impermanence of what he desires, and time and again I will make My Word accessible to him, so that he will try to find a substitute in it for the earthly things he had lost …. I let him experience darkness where no deceptive light will flash anymore, so that he will see the gently light from above and turn to it, so that he will escape from the night of death into the light of life …. This is why the suffering on earth will never end, because time and again I want to draw people to Myself who are still distant from Me and subject to the prince of the world, but whose course of life will soon be over without having resulted in success for the soul, on account of which it is embodied on earth. And in all places I will let a light shine in the darkness, and anyone who allows himself to be illuminated by its gentle glow will first move from the darkness into a dim light which he finds comforting and his desire for light will grow …. My Word will touch his heart, he will recognise it as a loving Fatherly Word, as the only path to life, and his soul will enter from the shadow of death into the land of light, into eternal life ….
Amen

Embodied beings of light …. Lack of past memory …. Forerunner ….
B.D. 4970 from September 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Those who want to be of service to Me ought to know the following: the spiritual state of people who live in the last days requires special help by the beings of light which work on My instructions in the spiritual realm as well as on earth, where a large number of them are embodied as human beings in order to fulfil a redeeming mission. How the beings of light work and help them is clearly evident to people who accept the spiritual information given to them, because they know that people’s spiritual hardship can only be remedied through the gift of My Word from above. In view of the wide-ranging spiritual decline it would be completely impossible for My Word to gain acceptance amongst humanity, because it would neither establish the connection with the spiritual world, nor would it want to or be able to accept proclamations from this world. Therefore the world of light has to take mediating actions, the beings of light must look for suitable vessels on earth into which they can pour the emanations of My spirit and thus …. where necessary …. beings of light descend to earth as human beings in order to become a link between people and the spiritual world …. in order to be mediators between Myself and people. Hence a large number of beings of light are embodied during the last days before the end, in which you humans live at present, in order to help you, given that you are deluded and ignorant, live a wrong way of life and are therefore in serious trouble.
You yourselves are unaware of the low spiritual level and its consequences, and if the knowledge is given to you, you won’t believe it. Yet the world of light shelters inhabitants who look upon the activities in the darkness on earth with horror and want to rush to your aid in order to still help those who don’t offer resistance and entrust themselves to their guidance. However, they are nevertheless human beings who thus want to help and inform you. This is why you don’t recognise them, just as they don’t recognise themselves as beings from above even though they, as human beings, sincerely strive to ascend …. They are human beings like yourselves and yet their will is directed towards Me, who cannot be harmed by My adversary anymore because they have already become My Own before they came to earth for the sake of the needy human race. They want to bring you the light they constantly receive from Me and which simultaneously is the strength to ascend. Yet neither are they aware of the fact that they voluntarily came to earth, for their efforts to ascend have to be clearly observable by their fellow human beings in order to encourage them to do the same. Were a being of light recognisable as such to people it would not be able to serve them as an example, for then people who are afflicted by all weaknesses and flaws would feel incapable of ever attaining this example. Only very special, elevated spiritual beings know of their mission and origin and also inform people of it, although they will find no credence.
But such elevated beings of light will be recognisable to anyone who wants to recognise them, for their mission always involves public and not private activity, for then not just individual people but all people shall be informed of supernatural activity, of the strength and might and glory of the One, Who is Lord over life and death and the whole of creation, Who does not want His living creations to descend into darkness and therefore sends an exceedingly bright radiating light from above …. And one such light will bear witness to Me and become a talking point. And once it shines you will know that the end is not far away, that humanity has been granted just a short reprieve, for if he is not listened to and his warning call remains unsuccessful then nothing can save the unspiritual world anymore …. then the end will have come without fail as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….
Amen

Examining deviating spiritual information …. (Spiritualism?)
B.D. 4971 from September 22nd 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Don’t fail to appeal to God for clarification when you have questions or doubts in your heart, because He, Who is the eternal Truth Himself, also wants you to live in truth and brightly and clearly recognise it as such. You have the right to raise questions, as bearers of light you must be knowledgeable in order to be able to instruct your fellow human beings correctly, and thus you are entitled to criticise if you are not convinced that the spiritual knowledge you receive from external sources is the truth. In that case it is not just your right but also your duty to establish clarity for the sake of truth, in yourselves as well as in regards to those who spread error and claim it is truth. God always remains true to Himself and thus His Word will also always be the same, just as His will turns into an action in keeping with His plan of eternity. No-one will ever be able to claim to have received something from God as truth which deviates from His eternal Word, for His Word will never change. Whatever He announces through seers and prophets will come to pass according to His Word. But the meaning of His Word can be understood differently by people and therefore it is necessary to explain time and again how He wants His Word to be understood. And these explanations can only be conveyed to people from the spiritual kingdom, which repeatedly happens through divine revelations, through the direct transmission of the pure truth, by God speaking to suitable people through the voice of their heart directly but also by way of beings of light, which themselves live in absolute truth and also want to impart it to people on earth. Consequently, only the purest truth comes forth from God as well as from the kingdom of light to people, providing they sincerely desire it and the recipient himself accepts this truth without distorting it, which depends on his degree of maturity …. God does not deny Himself to anyone who appeals to Him for the pure truth, He grants it to him without reservation, yet the applicant is not always capable of receiving spiritual knowledge, that is, of understanding it as it should be understood …. The truth comes forth purely and clearly from the spiritual kingdom, however, a heart not entirely pure will cloud it and then pass on ambiguous spiritual knowledge; this is why the degree of maturity of someone who wants to spread the truth on earth will determine its purity. The spiritual information does not come spoilt from above; instead it is distorted by the human being’s will if he lacks the necessary degree of maturity which shapes him into a proper recipient of divine truth. Hence this is the explanation for minor variations which nevertheless cannot be considered an error.
However, completely contradictory messages from the spiritual kingdom claiming to be irrefutable truth necessitate a serious examination. For then different forces will be the points of origin of the proclamations and should therefore be subjected to a stringent review. And again, the degree of maturity of the one who desires to receive spiritual knowledge has to be examined first, albeit this is not easy for you humans, since a person’s inner nature is not so openly accessible to you as to be able to assess the person’s quality. But then you must keep to the Word which was once spoken by God and which will never lose its meaning, even if eternities pass by …. If therefore an explanation completely deviates from this Word you can rightfully believe it to be a deception by dark forces which pretend to be knowledgeable and which only succeed with people who seek contact with the spiritual world without having the necessary maturity to be a receiving terminal for the pure truth. Hence their hearts are not yet pure enough in order to serve as a receiving vessel for the divine spirit but who are nevertheless spiritually arrogant …. since they want to be something they are not and so fall prey to the forces of the underworld. The latter will understandably instruct them regarding their raised questions, but not truthfully so as to deepen the darkness with error where light is sought. God imposed conditions which must be fulfilled if the human being wants to hear His Word in direct contact with Him, which guarantees purest truth …. and the first condition is to shape the heart into a worthy vessel of His spirit through selfless love …. Love includes profound humility, childlike prayer and the utter submission of will to the divine will. Anyone fulfilling these conditions can confidently establish contact with the kingdom of light and need not fear to receive error or not to recognise the truth as such. As a recipient of divine truth he will also be able to legitimately advocate it, and his teaching, his knowledge, will always concur with the Word of God, which eternally remains as unchanged as it came forth from Him …. He will always know the truth because he will be instructed by God Himself, the Eternal Truth ….
Amen

Different schools of thought …. love guarantees truth ….
B.D. 4972 from September 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
It is a completely free matter of will in which school of thought people want to move and no restriction is imposed on them by Me. Yet they will never lack opportunities to take notice of different teachings and different schools of thought so that they can freely decide. But they will always have the opportunity to practice love, and accordingly they will also come close to the truth, thus they will join the school of thought which brings Me closer to them. Love alone guarantees them the truth, for even a teaching which corresponds to the truth will remain without understanding for someone who ignores love, just as, conversely, the loving human being is able to separate truth from error or lies and thus will find the right path to Me in every school of thought. It would be of little or no value if I wanted to cleanse a school of thought of all error, for the individual’s way of life would very soon disfigure the pure again as soon as it was conducted without love. And thus even a church founded in utmost truth could show considerable deviations in a short time, because the human being with free will cannot be forced into love, but without love the truth could not exist either and thus even the purest teaching very soon becomes clouded where people lack love. Hence I can only preach love again and again and instruct My servants on earth to mention it first, so that people will now also realize where the truth is and where My adversary works by bringing error and lies underneath the truth in order to suppress it and thus also make Me unrecognizable to people. Therefore it is irrelevant to which school of thought a person belongs, because he will only ever live in truth if he lives in love, but this can only be preached but not necessarily achieved. For this reason the first and last commandment is love for God and neighbour, for only the fulfilment of this commandment guarantees a change in truth, it guarantees membership of the right church which I Myself founded on earth, for love brings with it the recognition of truth and thus also the right faith, the conviction that the human being is in truth. Therefore strive much more for a life of love than for a specific spiritual direction, and then you will also take the right path, the path of truth, which leads to eternal life, to Me, Who is love and truth Myself ….
Amen

Blessings of divine revelations …. "I am the way, the truth and the life …."
B.D. 4973 from September 27th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
You humans would not be able to measure the blessing of divine revelations if you did not research and ponder but only had to abide by what comes to you from above as an emanation of divine love …. But as long as you arrogantly believe that you have to gain knowledge for yourselves and don’t want to accept what is given to you, you will not recognize what is true because it seems too simple to you. You don’t appreciate spiritual knowledge which originates in the spiritual kingdom, you are prejudiced as soon as it reminds you of the church, which you don’t want to accept, as soon as you are given information about questions concerning the gospel. But you also take offence at knowledge which surpasses earthly knowledge because you try to prove everything you should accept as truth. You research with your intellect where your heart only needs to listen, because you all have the truth within yourselves and could take possession of it if only you believed. And you seek to attain faith again on the path of research and brooding …. You want to try to fathom what you should believe, but you disregard what helps you to have a living faith.
(9/27/1950) A truly childlike mind will take you further than the sharpest intellect is able to take you, and what you ask for from the father in childlike simplicity you will receive …. Therefore you should first ask Him to guide you into truth. This prayer can only be carried out by a person who, through works of love, feels inwardly united with the eternal love Itself, Which is also the eternal truth. And from this it follows that love has to be practiced without fail in order to attain the truth. The entrance to truth is irrevocably love, which is why Jesus spoke the words: “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” For the man Jesus embodied love and thus showed people the only path which leads to truth and from it to eternal life. Then every thought will be right, every thought will fill the human being’s heart as living faith. Then the human being can only move in the truth without demanding and producing intellectual proofs. Then only the heart, the feeling, is decisive, what the human being can and wants to accept as the sole truth. And this feeling of the heart are divine revelations which are not obviously recognizable as such in contrast to those which testify to the working of the spirit to the one who is of good will. For obvious evidence of this would have to be regarded as compulsory faith, thus the human being must still be free to reject divine revelations, which he will always do if he does not seriously strive for truth and lives a life without love. God can easily reveal Himself to a loving person, for he receives the revelations with his heart which recognizes the father’s voice. In contrast, the intellect of a loveless person is unable to recognize transmissions from the spiritual kingdom and thus he rejects them. Yet he will never reach the aim, the truth, by any other means, for God Himself sets the conditions under which He distributes the truth, and therefore anyone who does not fulfil these conditions will always go away empty-handed.
Amen

God's will – wisdom …. wrong will of man ….
B.D. 4974 from September 27th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
I am the lord of heaven and earth, and the powers of light and darkness must be subject to My will, even though the latter rebel against Me and want to disobey Me. But only then can they carry out their will when I give My consent to do so, otherwise they lack the strength because they are not yet free creatures. However, once they have entered My will they will also be aware of being able to act according to their own will without being prevented from doing so, for then their will will also be Mine and they will be powerful through My strength. I alone determine and govern the spiritual and earthly world through My will. But the fact that I gave the human being free will does not mean that this will can oppose Mine, that it could annul it or render it ineffective regardless of My will, although I very often let My will become active in accordance with the human being’s will. I do not force the human being, nevertheless, he does not determine My rule and activity, he only occasionally causes Me to tolerate what is against My will, yet only because My wisdom always finds ways and means to give even the human being’s wrong will a beneficial effect. For My expression of will is always based on profound wisdom, whereas the human being often misuses his will because he lacks wisdom and therefore does not recognize the wrongness of his will. For the will will be wrongly directed as long as the human being does not seek contact with Me, for then his will will comply with Mine and wisdom and love will determine its direction. Anyone who submits his will to Me cannot help but think and act as is pleasing to Me. Then his will moves in My eternal order because he is guided by the spirit, which only influences the human being in My will, which lets it take effect. As soon as the human being allows himself to be guided by his spirit his will will come into contact with Mine, and then he will also be relieved of all responsibility, then he will have passed the test which is the cause of his embodiment on earth. He has recognized and acknowledged Me by submitting his will, thus he has given up all resistance and voluntarily professes Me by doing My will and thereby becomes free from all forms, from the bound state which was the result of the rebellion against Me in his own will, which turned away from Me and therefore became wretched ….

Working in the Lord's vineyard: spreading the word …. lightbearers ….
B.D. 4975 from September 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
I only need willing labourers who want to help Me in My vineyard, who see the great spiritual hardship as a reason to place themselves at My disposal, because the work for Me and My kingdom has to be carried out by people and cannot be accomplished by My omnipotence and love. These people who want to serve Me are mediators between Me and their fellow human beings and are instructed to instruct them in the same way as I instruct them …. to convey My word to them in all purity as they receive it from Me. This is truly a necessity, it is urgent work in My vineyard to first cleanse the fields, that is, the hearts of men, from the weeds, from the false teachings which have been presented to people as teachings of faith. First the weeds have to be removed before the good seed can be sown, and thus a purification has to take place first, but this can only happen when something better is offered, when people can also recognize the better gift if they are to give up the old. It has to be made clear to them that and why a doctrine of faith is wrong …. And this is your work, you who want to serve Me …. And thus it is understandable that you yourselves must first receive a clear picture of the human being’s actual task and of My eternal plan of salvation, which only makes all My efforts for My living creations comprehensible. The knowledge of this is a gift of grace offered to those who want to utilize it for their own and their fellow human beings’ salvation. Anyone who earnestly wants to work for Me can raise a treasure of grace of immeasurable value …. All spiritual goods are available to him, and only his desire determines the abundance of what he receives.
(9/29/1950) He will call a spiritual wealth his own which allows him to constantly hand out, to make fellow human beings happy, for in order to be able to give something you have to possess it. And he will always find the right words when it is necessary to convince his fellow human beings of the truth of the words he has received from Me …. Only through truth can the human being attain eternal life, and because truth has been suppressed amongst people, because it is no longer taught purely but mixed with error, I want to come to their aid and smooth the path for them again, I want to let them find the right path which leads to Me, Who am the eternal truth Myself. But anyone who once walks the path of truth himself also sees where darkness and shadows obscure a path, and he endeavours to bring light to those who walk in darkness. He is called by Me to be a bearer of light, he can give people the truth because he possesses it himself, because he opens himself to the light of grace from above which has brightly illuminated him and made him an efficient labourer in My vineyard …. Everyone who wants to serve Me shall experience My blessing, and his knowledge will obviously be broadened, his intellect and heart will be active in him, he will endeavour to make My will, which he has recognized, known to his fellow human beings in the realization that only compliance with My will, life in My eternal order, an unselfish life of love, enables the human being to become similar to My fundamental nature, that only compliance with My will also leads him to the realization of truth and that only through compliance with My will can he unite with Me, the eternal love, and be eternally happy ….

Power of love …. power of faith ….
B.D. 4976 from September 29th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
The strength from Me also enables you to be extraordinarily active, yet you must take care yourselves that it flows to you. You have to request it with faithful trust that I will grant your request for strength; or you have to acquire it yourselves through loving activity, for then you will work with Me by uniting yourselves with Me through every work of love and can then use My strength without limitation. Yet you lack the belief that you are powerful if you live a life of love, and thus you do not use the strength which, however, is at your disposal. And even My words are not enough to bring the belief in this to life in you, even though you only need to try it out in order to convince yourselves of the strength from Me in you. In unity with Me you can achieve everything …. Yet I cannot force you into this faith, I can only inform you of it through My word; I can advice you to let faith revive in you and again and again try to imagine My presence which awakens trust in Me in you, so that you will consult Me when you need My strength, that you will ask Me to help you and lose every weakness of faith. I want you to be strong in faith when great adversity befalls you, which you will then be able to banish at any time through the strength of faith. Believe that you possess My love, that I, as your father, will not deny you what you need; believe that the father does not let His children hope for His help in vain; believe that you, having emerged from Me, are My share, thus you can also shelter the same strength within yourselves which is able to do everything because it is divine strength and is also unlimitedly at your disposal, My living creations. And use this strength …. Subordinate your will to Mine and then you will only use the strength to work in accordance with My will. Join in intimate union with Me and then want to do what your heart tells you to do, through which My will now expresses itself and then acts, and you will be able to do everything with My strength …. Believe in it and test the strength of faith, and it will be all the stronger the more you unite with Me through loving activity. For then I Myself will work in and with you and you will accomplish everything with My strength ….
Amen

False Christs and false prophets ….
B.D. 4977 from October 1st 1950, taken from Book No. 56
And false Christs and false Prophets will come after Me, but do not believe them, even if they perform signs and miracles. I already informed you on earth of the machinations of those who misrepresented My pure teaching and introduced themselves as saviours of the world, who preached under the guise of piety and yet were anything but My followers. For they were not interested in love for Me and their neighbour, instead, they were only interested in power. False Christs and prophets only ever appeared for a purpose which was far removed from My will. They certainly preached the shaping into love but the preachers themselves did not strive for it, and so their words lost strength and truth, consequently, they could not be true prophets and proclaim Me accurately to people, even though they mentioned My name and used Me time and again for the sake of pursuing a purpose. This could only be followed by a time of confusion, a time when I was no longer properly recognised, even by people with better intentions. For the words of those proclaiming the Gospel no longer contained My spirit, now people were governed by a worldly spirit instead of being lovingly guided in My will on the right path to Me, the spirit of the Antichrist was already strongly represented and the fruits of his activity became evident: Distortion of My teaching of love, greed for power, pride, deluded thinking towards those who lived according to My will and to whom I was able to reveal Myself. These revelations meant nothing to them, they were suppressed because they undermined what people had built up, because they were the pure truth which the latter could not abide by, since they lived for the world and had worldly aspirations …. Anyone who seriously turned away from the world and towards Me also soon recognised the error and the danger it signified for humanity. However, anyone who does not recognise it has therefore fallen prey to the one who governs the world, who is My adversary and wants to corrupt people. False Christs and false prophets will arise …. Every person who does not know the truth has fallen prey to a false Christ, because he allowed himself to be misled by his apparently divine speeches, which lacked truth because the preacher himself did not live a life of love and therefore did not know the truth. Nevertheless, he portrayed himself as My representative and threatened them with temporal and eternal punishments …. He is a disgraceful prophet, for he thereby distorts My teaching of love, he falsely testified to Me, as I Am not a God of wrath but a God of love instead …. He neither speaks the truth nor is he able to speak it because he does not possess it …. Therefore he instructs people wrongly and yet educates them in the belief of knowing the only truth. My reference to false Christs and prophets mainly concerns teachers who spread errors amongst their fellow human beings, because they speak in My name and yet do not testify to Me correctly. But I want to highlight their activity and denounce their misguided teachings …. I want to help people of good will to gain realisation …. I want to send bearers of light amongst people who are authorised to speak in My name because I have chosen them Myself …. who are also capable of speaking in My name because I Am instructing them Myself. These will very certainly be recognisable as My messengers, as true bringers of light, and no-one of good will and who hates life will be able to call them false prophets. Only someone who wants to hold on to errors will not acknowledge them and portray them as Satan’s emissaries, because he avoids the light. The world is approaching the end, and thus more false prophets will appear, but in the same way My messengers will also emerge as their adversaries, so that people will recognise the value and worthlessness of both if they want to put them to the test. Where false Christs and prophets are spoken of, genuine ones must also exist, and these are very recognisable, for they enlighten people and announce the Last Judgment. In contrast, the false ones confuse people and teach them to live, but not according to My will but for their own pleasure instead. Genuine prophets proclaim My Word in its purest form, the false ones use My Word as well, yet they always pursue earthly goals with it, trying to attain advantages, power and riches. Anyone who receives from Me will pass it on to his fellow human beings without demanding a reward for it, but those who ask for payment have not received the gift they distribute from Me. This, too, is a sign by which false Christs and prophets can be recognised, for spiritual gifts are priceless treasures which may never be valued in an earthly way or they will judge the one who allows himself to be paid for them. For every gift shall be distributed with love, even more so spiritual gifts, which My love has intended for people and conveys to them time and again so that they will be saved ….

Ten Commandments …. First and second commandment ….
B.D. 4978 from October 3rd 1950, taken from Book No. 56
You shall be given the guiding principles by which you should live on earth and fulfil My will: You always have to keep My Commandments of love in mind and then you will never be able to sin, because a life of love is at all times a life within My eternal order and then it is impossible to sin. My Commandment of love towards God and your neighbour incorporated the laws and the prophets, hence the Ten Commandments given to Moses were not eliminated by My Commandments of love but merely confirmed. The Ten Commandments were integrated at the same time in My Two Commandments, wherein I required love for Me and your neighbour …. You shall give all your love only to one God, thus only one Being should represent to you what you wholeheartedly aspire to, what you love and worship, what you strive to reach. Nothing shall exist to you that could replace or displace this most perfect Being, your God, because all else a person still deems desirable are gods which reduce the love for your God and therefore cannot be tolerated beside Me. Your love shall fully and completely relate to Me, your God, Creator and Father of eternity. Because as a result of this love your conduct in life, your will and your knowledge will be shaped. Anyone who loves Me more than anything else has gained everything, Me Myself, My love and eternal life close to Me …. This commandment is the first commandment, nevertheless it also includes the second commandment, love for your neighbour. Because the love for what I created is also an acknowledgment of love for Me, and therefore both commandments are not to be separated from each other. So that you will learn to believe firmly and steadfastly you shall sense My nearness and feel that I Myself Am speaking to you and take notice of all your thoughts and requests, even if they are not voiced. I will always share your inner life, I will know your questions and always will want to answer them just as soon as you give Me the opportunity, i.e. as soon as you mentally present the question to Me and patiently wait for the answer …. You will always receive the reply as soon as you attune yourselves to receive it, thus by listening within yourselves, from where the answer will emerge.
And thus hear the explanation of the commandment: Second Commandment. ‘You shall not take the name of your Lord in vain ….’ I Am and remain the highest and most perfect Being for you, Whom you nevertheless can contact at any time. I want you to unite with Me, to strive for unity with Me; I want you to call for Me because by doing so you inform Me of your will; I want you never to exclude Me from your thoughts, I want to be the First and the Last to you, I want you to share with Me everything that moves you, I want you to come to Me for advice and completely confide in Me, and humbly submit to My will …. But I do not want you to take My name in vain without the involvement of your heart …. I do not want you to live a life of pretence, I do not want you to appear to the world as My children who are sincerely devoted to their Father and in reality are very distant from Me. I do not want you to speak My name before the world and make the connection with Me absolutely impossible due to your attitude, due to your conduct which does not correspond to My will but which remains hidden from other people because you are constantly using My name in order to deceive them. You are using My name in vain when your heart and mouth do not agree with each other, when you mouth speaks differently than you heart feels. Then it is truly better for you to openly turn away from Me, because then you would lack all knowledge, whereas by mentioning My name you are admitting to know Me although you still dislike Me in your heart. You don’t mislead Me but you certainly mislead your fellow human beings, and thus you are playing a game of falsehood and deceit with Me. You should become conscious of the fact that the deceptive mentioning of your God’s name will double your sin, that you are more or less using Me as a cover for your wrong way of life, that you want to cause confusion amongst those who still believe and to whom I Am the highest and most perfect Being. I should punish you for every call to Me and every mentioning of My name from your mouth but I acknowledge your free will and put up with your sacrilege which, however, at times makes the believers wonder and doubt their faith. Therefore every mentioning of My name without sincerity is a temptation for the believer for which I will hold you to account one day. It is belittling Me, Whom you do not acknowledge and yet use to veil your true nature, Whom you thus try to turn into an accessory otherwise you would openly turn away from Me and not try to conceal your way of life. The deceptive mentioning of My name is a lie which will avenge itself badly when all sin will be revealed one day, it is a flagrant violation of the commandment of love for God and the next person ….
Amen

Third, fourth, fifth and sixth commandment ….
B.D. 4979 from October 4th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
‘You shall keep the Sabbath Day holy ….’ This commandment is meant to make you conscious of the fact that you are indebted to Me, that earthly life was given to you for a specific purpose, that you should sincerely strive to make contact with Me …. that you should cross the bridge to Me, that you should leave the world behind and, through contemplation, heartfelt prayer and silent dialogue with Me, move yourselves into the spiritual kingdom: …. That you thus keep a true Sabbath Day, that you take a period of rest from the rushing and racing of the world, in which you certainly live but which should not turn you into slaves. In Me alone should you recognise your Lord, and it is Me Whom you should serve and thus you should frequently stop for an hour of rest, when your thoughts are with Me even when you perform your earthly duty and are constantly active. The more you can detach yourselves from the earthly world, the more often you connect with Me in thought, the more convincingly will you recognise Me as your God and Father of eternity and thus, by fulfilling this commandment of keeping the Sabbath Day holy, you once again simply fulfil the commandment of love for Me. But your love shall also apply to your neighbour. Who, however, is your neighbour? All people with whom you come into contact …. your love shall belong to all of them …. When I, through Moses, gave people the Ten Commandments it was necessary to make people particularly aware of their mistakes and bad habits, because their love had grown cold for all people in their surroundings. Even the children no longer practised love, it was a state of wickedness, depravity, and selfishness …. For this reason the commandment of love for your neighbour had to be presented to them in every detail. They ignored all divine order, and thus they had to be given several commandments which, indeed, are all included in the commandment of love for your neighbour but which also need to be observed by people today if they don’t want to infringe against love.
You shall honour your parents, offer them the love of a child and always be obedient to them. You should always remember that they, with selfless love, are preparing you to become human beings and thus enable you to live earthly life for the purpose of higher development, that they were given this task by Me, that you should thus repay the innate love they give to you and which is motivating them to physically and psychologically take care of you. You owe them your life and thus should honour them and return their care for you until the end of their life. Then I, too, will look upon you with pleasure and give you My love because by loving your parents you show a warm and loving heart which will also love Me, once it has recognised Me as the eternal Father from Whom all living creations emerged, who He wants to shape into His rightful children. Only love will turn you into My children, and anyone who loves and honours His parents will also love the Heavenly Father and be blessed by Him ….
Amen(04.10.1950) ‘You shall not kill ….’ This commandment also fulfils itself if your neighbour is looked upon with love. Because love will never damage him and even less endeavour to take his life. It does not merely concern the human being’s life on earth which the heartless person intends to take; it concerns the opportunity of development which can only successfully change the human being into a child of God on earth. You therefore burden yourselves with an irresponsibly severe guilt when you violate a human being’s life, when you forcibly end it and by doing so unlawfully rob the soul of My gift of grace. You are committing a double sin, against your neighbour as well as against Me, as in fact every offence against the commandment of love for other people is an offence against your love for Me, because you also indirectly refuse to love Me, Who created your neighbour. To end an earthly life should never be endorsed even if honourable motives give cause to it. Because once again it is decisive that the soul only received the body’s life for the purpose of higher development. You should not consider earthly life, the life of the body, as the most important and consequently only take the body’s life into account. But far less should you deem earthly life so unimportant that you think you may end it arbitrarily. The person who unlawfully takes another person’s life will be pursued by an inconceivable vindictiveness on earth and even in the spiritual kingdom and, furthermore, due to such acts of hatred and heartlessness he will lapse into deepest darkness himself for he will have devoted himself to Satan who, in order to prevent all higher development, endeavours to destroy the life that I awakened. He has transferred his willingness to sin to the person and thus has used him to commit an evil act which, however, the person could have refused to commit of his own free will. He was not forced to sin …. But when earthly rulers bring force to bear, when a human being acts in self-defence in order to protect his own life, when his inner being resists an act of most blatant heartlessness and yet is unable to oppose earthly law, the attitude of the person acting against this commandment will always be taken into account. However, if the person violates the commandment wholeheartedly he will be held fully responsible because he ignores My commandment of love and belongs to My adversary ….
Amen
Third, fourth, fifth and sixth commandment ….
‘You shall not commit adultery ….’ This area is particularly significant because it incorporates everything in relation to carnal desires. It concerns the sensual orientation, the active expression on the sexual level. Indeed, I Myself gave the right for this with the Words ‘Be fruitful and multiply ….’ I Myself created humanity such that the bodies of a man and a woman long to unite, nevertheless the final purpose of the latter is just procreation. And since the human being has free will it is up to him to control himself or to fully express himself without self-control. What on one hand is blessed by Me can, on the other hand, be a most welcome opportunity for the adversary to entice the person into sin, although he will always be conscious of it because every sexual activity, every fulfilment of carnal lust pulls the human being down and even places him below the animal, which only acts out its instinct in accordance with natural law. But the human being has his freedom of will because he should learn to control himself, because he should suppress his body in order to help the soul to ascend. The sensual instincts are the greatest obstacle for the spiritualisation of the soul. And yet I created the human being such that carnal desire can pester him greatly if he allows himself to be controlled by it …. if he has no will to resist the temptations which are always caused by My adversary. The commandment I gave to you, not to commit adultery, is a serious one …. And adultery is every impure way of life which in truth signifies an unlawful conduct against My law of order …. a misuse of the natural process of procreation for the purpose of awakening human life. Two people should find each with other pure, unselfish love, and a subsequent conception as a result of such love will never be a sin because it complies with My eternal law of order. However, all sensual passion without love is of utmost danger for the soul, which will lapse into spiritual darkness and only with utmost difficulty will be able to lift itself out of it. Carnal desire is selfish love to the highest degree which stifles all unselfish love for a fellow human being, because nothing is sacred to such a person, he does not honour and respect his fellow human being but merely takes advantage of him …. He takes what does not belong to him, and thus sins against the commandment of love for one’s neighbour in many different ways. Anyone whose soul genuinely endeavours to ascend also knows that he should not enjoy life entirely uninhibited because he will feel that his soul is pulled down and that it will have to make an incredible effort in order to lift itself up again. A right kind of marriage will never find My disapproval or I would not have created humanity to reproduce itself, however, boundaries can easily be exceeded, and every excess is a breach of the marriage wanted by Me through natural law …. the coexistence of man and woman for the purpose of humanity’s reproduction …. But I know people’s nature, I know their weakness of will and My adversary’s extremely powerful influence …. I do not condemn those who sin but I Am giving them the commandment for their own benefit, and anyone who follows it will also love Me and his neighbour, he will travel the path of ascent easier than those who give free reign to their bodily instincts at the expense of their soul ….
Amen

Dogma: Mary’s ascension ….
B.D. 4980 from October 5th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Your spiritual development depends on your attitude to truth. Anyone who looks for it will find it and progress without fail, anyone who rejects it or is indifferent to it cannot gain spiritual advancement, since he does not live with love either, which is closely connected to truth. People’s response to truth corresponds to their response to Me, Who Himself is eternal truth as well as love. And thus you will understand that I will always endeavour to convey the truth to people, since error understandably has to retract away from Me. Every inaccuracy has to be rectified and misguided teachings exposed because they poison people’s thoughts and consign the soul into the hands of the one who is the representative of lies. Hence it cannot be tolerated that people are offered error in form of religious dogma which they have to accept. Any doctrine demanding compulsory acceptance meets My disapproval, even if it corresponds to the truth, for faith in such a doctrine does not result in any benefit for the soul. It is far worse, however, if a misguided teaching is forced on people which is of no use for the development of the soul. No measure can ever meet My approval which restricts the human being’s free will …. And every dogma is an infringement of free will …. In any case, it is inconsequential for the ensuing generations how the mother of Jesus left earth because, as long as people are not spiritually advanced enough to comprehend the process of a soul’s spiritualisation, the portrayal of ascension will only result in darkness again. Complete lack of understanding will result in doubt and disbelief.
However, the ascension of Christ is a different matter. He was, after all, the divine Redeemer, Who had to be obeyed by every power and Who accomplished the act of Salvation for all human beings. Hence, all human beings should also receive knowledge of Him, and His earthly life from beginning to end should therefore be known and comprehensible to people. His ascension was the conclusion of divine activity on earth, his ascension was the culmination, it was the fulfilment of many prophesies and the completion of Jesus’ life on this earth. But even the belief in this should not be demanded, but people should remain completely free to believe it, because only a life of love and profound desire for truth results in living faith …. Consequently, it is neither valuable nor advantageous to provide people with a new bone of contention, which human intellect cannot prove and which requires a higher degree of development in order to be understood and believed. This, however, is no longer found amongst people and therefore it merely increases the confusion when, in fact, people ought to be receiving knowledge ….
Amen

Encouragement to believe in My task ….
B.D. 4981 from October 13th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
The guarantee of My presence also lies in the connection with Me after heartfelt prayer. Every thought turned towards Me attracts Me, for only those who believe in Me send their thoughts to Me, and anyone who believes in Me can also be certain of My closeness at all times, for he will also endeavour to live according to My will, even though he is not yet perfect. He can always be certain of My love and grace, for I come to the weak and fearful in order to help them become inwardly strong. Only someone who is arrogant and does not believe he needs Me will turn away from Me. But this one does not call upon Me in prayer for love and grace. Therefore remain strong, My child, and fulfil My command and keep to My word which I, your father from eternity, the creator and sustainer of the universe, send to you from above as a blessing to all people who hear it and accept it into their hearts ….
There is only one God, a heavenly father, and He is in Himself love …. But true love does not abandon anything to ruin, true love embraces its children and provides them with every protection. But true love is also connected with wisdom and therefore also guides its children into knowledge, because it knows that knowledge deepens love, for which eternal love always and constantly courts. Children who meet Me in love are seized by My love and given wisdom …. Therefore, anyone who is taught by the father Himself need no longer fear error, he will not take the wrong path, for I Myself will guide him, I Who am the way, the truth and the life ….
Amen

Seventh and eighth commandment ….
B.D. 4982 from October 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
For My child, who is serving Me with loyalty and steadfastness, another sign of My love and grace: You were also given the commandment: ‘Your shall not steal.’ If you take whatever belongs to him you are quite obviously disregarding the commandment of love for your neighbour. You should respect your neighbour’s possession, indeed even protect it against his enemies, otherwise you do not feel the love for him that I require of you. You should love your neighbour as yourselves …. and you will be grateful to anyone who respects your possessions; hence you should do the same in order to gain your neighbour’s love too. Whatever you acquire unlawfully will not result in any blessing to you, rather it will burden you and weigh your soul down which wants to ascend. You shall not steal …. This does not just concern earthly commodities, which you should not take from other people. You can also cause him spiritual damage by denying him that which benefits his soul and what My grace is giving to all people and what can be given to him by each one of his fellow human beings. Thus, anyone who owns spiritual wealth has received this from Me …. However, your fellow human beings also have the same right to partake in it …. and you should not diminish this right by withholding from him things which are also intended for him. In that case you are more than less taking what belongs to him too, even if he has not yet taken possession of it. Your behaviour will then reveal no love for your neighbour and even less love for Me, your God and Creator of eternity. Any reduction of spiritual or earthly wealth is therefore covered by this commandment, and any negligence of love for other people will reflect on yourselves, who shall receive as you give, and who shall lose what you take away from people. And thus, psychologically and earthly you shall receive the reward you deserve ….
And in the same spirit you should understand the following commandment ‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.’ Your mouth should always speak the honest truth, you should never damage your neighbour’s reputation, his standing amongst his fellow human beings, by telling lies. Any defamation is a sin against this commandment, with every lie the person is causing damage to other people and acting heartlessly and unfairly, to which he will have to be answerable. When you are asked to bear witness to your neighbour be truthful and full of love for him. Try to understand his faults and kind-heartedly point them out to him but do not take advantage of his weakness by trying to belittle him for your personal gain. You can damage the other person with a thoughtless word and awaken thoughts of retaliation in him which will stifle all love and make the person sinful. You should certainly remain truthful, thus not praise an undeserving person contrary to your better knowledge and conscience, but distance yourself from every act of unkindness, distance yourself from all belittling of other people for your own advantage. Any judgment of your neighbour that does not correspond to the truth is a flagrant violation of this commandment for it lacks all love and brings no honour to you humans. Every lie is to be condemned but when it is plainly intended to damage another person it becomes a double sin, a sin against the other person and a sin against Me, Who is the eternal truth Himself …. It is a violation against the commandment of love against Me and against your neighbour ….

Ninth and tenth commandment ….
B.D. 4983 from October 15th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
People who still languish in matter also desire it in every sense. But the purpose of the human being’s earthly life is to overcome matter, to detach from it, to eradicate everything the world can offer to people, because only by overcoming the latter will the soul achieve the necessary maturity in order to enter the spiritual kingdom. To desire worldly things need not be a sin, although it hampers the person’s higher development, but it can easily result in sin because greed tries to acquire the object of its desire and this frequently by dishonest means. The greater and stronger the passion for things which give the body a sense of well-being, the more the person’s mind will focus on it and can trigger bad instincts and characteristics in him which will result in harming other people.
For that reason I gave you the commandment ‘You shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, house, servant, or anything that belongs to him ….’ Everything that belongs to your fellow human beings should be sacred to you, you should not attempt to seize any possession from your neighbour and even the thought of taking it is a sin, because it betrays your will, your darkness of soul, which as yet does not know love. And although you try to hide your cold hearts from other people they are obvious to Me due to your longing, and as soon as you greedily think about your neighbour’s possessions you do not see the other person as your brother whom you should love as yourselves. You should grant him the same right that you demand for yourselves, to respect your wealth; you should be pleased when your neighbour is successful and help him to increase his wealth; then you are winning the fight of overcoming matter, then you will acquire more riches than you could ever take away from other people, because your love for your neighbour will be rewarded by My love, and this will truly give you an everlasting treasure of grace which offsets all worldly possessions and joys.
Hence you should also respect and protect your neighbour’s possessions and distance yourselves from greed if you don’t want to infringe against the commandment of love for your neighbour, which I only gave you to make your ascent easier, because only through loving your neighbour can you gain My love and only through love can you become blessed ….

Accountability on the Day of Judgment …. Redeemer Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 4984 from October 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Sooner or later all of you will have to give account of yourselves before My judgment seat and remember every hour you wasted and lost for eternity. Sooner or later all of you will have to confess your sins because they become apparent and cannot be kept secret any longer, for nothing remains hidden before My eyes. And thus I demand an account for all your thoughts, words and actions. And you should remember this Day of Judgment if you think that you can sin with impunity, this day, when all of you will have to be answerable about your way of life on earth. It will come without fail and take all of you by surprise because you don’t expect it quite so soon. Yet it will come like a thief in the night, without warning and in silence, it will come when no-one expects it. And yet not unannounced, for long before I will have drawn people’s attention to it, to the Day of Judgment, the day of the end and the destruction of this earth. The fact that you humans do not want to believe it will not change My plan of eternity, for this day has been predetermined according to My will and human will shall be unable to postpone it but must submit to My will. The reason why I speak to people time and again through servants on earth and in the kingdom of light is due to the fact that a day like that, which concludes an unimaginably long period of development, shall not come unannounced to humankind. The Day of Judgment is the conclusion of an earthly period which was granted to people for their salvation. During this developmental period people received a special privilege …. the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ Himself came to earth in order to help those people who wanted to fail in their process of development.
And thus people were able to redeem themselves if only they wanted to. If, however, their will fails then it will be their own fault, and as long as people live on earth I warn them time and again about this fault. Their fault only consists of the fact that they don’t want to accept help but are too weak on their own. What they can do they don’t want to do, hence they will also have to take responsibility for what they don’t want to do. This is why everyone will be held to account on the last day, for they all had a measure of blessings at their disposal which could have helped them to ascend with ease. And the indications of the end through seers and prophets are part of theses blessings. But anyone who does not listen to them, who does not give credence to them, does nothing for his own redemption either. I always admonished and warned people through seers and prophets, and the often enough announced end of the old earth also explains the emergence of prophets in My name, because I won’t leave people without warning and they are living in the last days, because the end is so near that all of you would be shocked if you knew the day and the hour. Time and again I draw your attention to it yet no-one shall be forced to believe it, but woe to those who listened to My Word and refused to believe it …. who recognised it as My Word and yet do not believe in the end and the Judgment and therefore do not prepare themselves for the end. Woe to them …. for the hour will take them by surprise when the last Judgment arrives ….
Amen

'Deliver us from evil ….'
B.D. 4985 from October 19th 1950, taken from Book No. 56
Deliver us from evil …. You are often approached by temptations which are indeed permitted by Me but which are always My adversary’s activity, because he also fights for every soul and therefore tries to influence the human being to oppose Me, thus to encourage him to sin. These temptations are always an obstacle for the human being which can make him fall, yet I, too, won’t leave him without grace as a countermeasure against Satan. I, too, will come forward, distinctly and recognisably, when the human being is facing a crucial decision, when he is pushed off the right path by My adversary’s cunning and is still uncertain. Then a short quick prayer is enough, a thought to Me: Deliver us from evil …. I will clearly step forward by revealing the right path to him, and I will show him the darkness of the other path he was in danger of taking …. I will assist every person who merely sends a questioning and imploring thought to Me. I will certainly allow temptations to take place, for the adversary is also entitled to exert his influence, after all, it concerns the free decision of will, and for this the human being must be subjected to both influences, the good as well as the evil. Yet he need not succumb defencelessly, he will always be able to give resistance, because I will help him once he has taken the path to Me. And then I will show him very clearly which power wants to harm him …. I want to deliver you humans from all evil, I want to liberate you from the control of the one who caused your constrained state, it is My will that you shall become happy, that you shall no longer feel pressurised by the one who intends to ruin you, who entices you to fall and who spares no means in doing so. He will even appear to you as an angel of light if he thinks that this will be successful, he wants to possess you and uses cunning and trickery. And yet he will find his Master in Me, for once a soul has chosen Me it will never again fall prey to him. But woe to the person who is enslaved by him …. For he will hold him tightly until the latter beseeches Me for help, which will surely be granted to him. Deliver us from evil …. Often voice these words in your heart and you will always feel My help, for with this appeal you testify to Me, because you call upon Me to help you against the one who is My adversary and your enemy ….
Amen
