Choose a proclamation

Exhortation to vineyard work …. spreading the gospel ….

B.D. 5022 from December 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

Spread the gospel and I will bless you. You should try to change the ignorance of what helps people to become blessed through your work in My vineyard and bring light to people; you should instruct them in My name, you should only proclaim the divine teaching of love to them and admonish them to live in accordance with this teaching. People have become right worldly people who only strive to create wealth for themselves and no longer think of their neighbour. But they don’t know that selfish love means the death of their spirit; they don’t know that the human being’s purpose on earth is to bring his soul to maturity through serving neighbourly love, and they don’t know that they don’t fulfil their task in the slightest and therefore earthly life passes by unsuccessfully for the soul. If you now carry My gospel to people you will also acquaint them with their earthly task, and you will advice and admonish them to make use of their life for eternity. Then you will bring light into the darkness in which people are wandering. And this is necessary so that they cannot say they remained completely ignorant of their earthly task. You must speak to them as human being to human being because they have long since dismissed the church doctrine; you must explain to them that earthly life is a means to an end but not an end in itself; you must point out to them their duties towards Me Who, as their creator and father of eternity, also has rights over My children and to Whom they must submit if they acknowledge Me as their father. Present to them the right relationship they should have with Me, explain to them the reason for their human existence and My infinite love and patience to win My living creations for eternity. Present My love to them and admonish them to love Me in return, which they can only prove to Me through unselfish neighbourly love. Draw their attention to the hardship around them where they can and should intervene helpfully if they want to gain My pleasure …. then you are true proclaimers of My gospel on earth, then you are My true disciples who are restlessly active in My name, who continue what I have started on earth …. to show people the path of love which they absolutely have to take if they want to become blessed. I can only speak to them through people, and thus you shall serve Me by working on My behalf for souls which are not aware of their purpose of existence but which I do not want to let go astray but want to help them through you so that they gain knowledge of My gospel and live accordingly ….

Amen

Characteristic of truth of the proclamations: Love, grace, mercy ….

B.D. 5023 from December 18th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

If you know that I Am speaking to you, you will believe …. if, however, you are troubled by doubt, you will also doubt that I Am the Giver of what you receive. Therefore it is so important to conduct an examination first, that is, to pay attention to the characteristics which verify Me Myself as the Provider. The spirit within advises you correctly if you allow it to take effect with every examination. It will point error and untruth out to you when these occasionally accompany the truth due to the influence of evil forces. Call upon the spirit within for help and advice, that is, make contact with Me, the Father-Spirit of eternity, as soon as you desire clarification. The most reliable distinguishing features of the primary source of truthfulness are My mercy and love, which will always be mentioned. My loving and merciful nature lets none of My living creations fall as long as there is still a possibility for salvation. Nevertheless I respect the free will of these living beings and adjust Myself to it. This is why My proclamations seem improbable to you when they seem to be earthly, but, coming from the spiritual kingdom, they are indeed presented to you as truth. As soon as I Myself Am presented in such proclamations as an infinitely kind Being, not evil forces but beings of light which know the truth are portraying the events in the beyond in an understandable way to you, because as human beings you will never have a correct idea of the spiritual kingdom, since it far exceeds your comprehension. I will truly protect all people who try to find Me and are voluntarily devoted to Me from becoming entangled in a web of lies which might harm their souls. I Myself come close to anyone who seeks the truth, as I Am the Eternal Truth Itself, but I nevertheless address a human being in an understandable language, which they will also recognise as truthful in the kingdom of the beyond, even if they grasp different concepts there which can only exists in the spiritual realm and can only be portrayed to you humans on earth in comparable metaphors. Nevertheless they correspond to the truth and can therefore be viewed as being conveyed to people according to My will, as long as the one characteristic is not missing …. that I Myself Am always recognisable as love, grace and mercy, as the Father Who seeks to gain His children …. Then you need not be afraid of falling prey to error, for it will be I Myself Who conveys these proclamations to you from the spiritual realm, because I know when they benefit your soul’s salvation ….

Amen

‘Whoever loves his life shall lose it ….’

B.D. 5024 from December 20th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

The will to live means guaranteed victory over death …. Admittedly, you cannot prevent bodily death, but even physical death can be the transition into life if the human being’s will is strong enough for him to gain eternal life. This will to live has My approval, even though I said the Words ‘Whoever loves his life shall lose it, and whoever loses it will gain it ….’ Anyone who only thinks about how he can preserve his physical life will very soon realise that he is completely powerless and taken from this earth without being able to oppose it. Thus it is not this kind of will to live which will enable someone to be victorious over death ….

The soul’s true life has to be desired, and the human being’s will has to use all its strength to acquire it, then there will be no more death for the person for eternity, then he will live in light and strength and be able to be constantly active for his own happiness. Then he will have truly conquered death, and the soul’s separation from its body will be an awakening into new life, unburdened by the physical shell, free from all matter and yet with an inconceivable abundance of strength. This is the life people on earth should learn to love and only endeavour to gain one day, then they will long for their death, then they will want to relinquish their earthly life for the sake of true life in eternity. But people are still far too attached to their bodily life, they fear to lose it, they love earthly life and therefore will lose it and their fate will be death.

And again, not physical death is meant by this but the death of the spirit, into which the earthly life-loving soul will descend without fail. This death is worse than a human being can imagine, for he will then have lost himself, he will have lost his earthly life and his soul will be without light and strength, totally helpless and in profound darkness …. Spiritual death is an indescribable torment for the soul because it is conscious of itself, thus it is aware that it was not obliterated at the moment of death but continues to exist in an agonizing condition. The desire for pleasing activity can only ever be fulfilled by the living soul, for this requires strength which is only inherent in a living being, whereas a being without strength is dead.

However, what the human being accomplishes on earth with his inflowing energy of life need only consist of worldly activity, which will certainly increase material commodities but they are worthless in the spiritual kingdom …. Or it can consist of spiritual activity, which will produce everlasting treasures and thus also guarantee a life in eternity. And for this reason, the human being’s will should seriously strive towards eternal life, so that he then utilises his energy of life for the acquisition of spiritual strength …. then he will be victorious over death, then eternal life will be certain for him and he will not taste death for eternity ….

Amen

Voluntary return in love to God …. unbreakable bond ….

B.D. 5025 from December 21st 1950, taken from Book No. 57

You will never lose Me again in eternity once you have found Me of your own free will. Then you can never ever strive away from Me because the bond between you and Me is unbreakable, it is stronger than every hostile attempt to snatch you away from Me. My love keeps you captive although you remain free wanting and thinking beings. But love is a binding agent that lasts forever. You can no longer detach yourselves from me, as I also never ever let go of you, because you are My share, which I Myself have created for joy. But unlimited is My joy only then when you have found back to Me yourselves, when your love for Me has caused your return, what is then the case when you come to Me voluntarily. That is why a being, which once has entered the union with Me through love, cannot sink back into the depth anymore, because My eternal love holds it. As long as the union with Me has not yet taken place, a falling away is certainly possible, but then the being strives away from Me out of free will, therefore cannot yet accept Me as found. And you will see from this how unspeakably important it is that you change to love because through this alone the union with Me can take place, which binds you to Me for ever, which protects you from sinking into the deep. Love means everything …. It is, so to speak, the key to eternity, to the kingdom of light, it is the way to Me, to the father, Who awaits you in order to be blissfully happy with you. If you have love, then you also have Me, Who am eternal love …. You can therefore assure yourselves of My presence as soon as you practice love, and then I will never ever leave you …. But every work of love presupposes free will, and therefore the test of will is passed, you have chosen between Me and My opponent, who prevents you from every work of love, if your will is not stronger. Whoever lives in love has escaped the power of My adversary, he has taken Me into himself, I Myself have taken possession of his heart and can work in him …. I am in him who lives in love …. and what belongs to Me I never leave forever …. Satan certainly has great power, but he does not succeed in alienating a person who lives in love from Me, because this person carries Me Myself in himself and he recognizes My opponent very well. Make yourselves mine through love, let yourselves be captured by Me through constant love work, and a blessed captivity will be your lot, My love will never leave you, you will belong to Me and still be free ….

Amen

Spiritual influences, questions – truth ….

B.D. 5026 from December 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

A person’s heart is often moved by unvoiced thoughts which he himself is not entirely conscious of but which are obvious to Me at all times. I try to respond to them in the form of thoughts but only after a person seriously occupies himself with the question as to whether My answer can mentally flow into him, prior to this it is not possible. And therefore I require mental communication with Me, I require a trusting dialogue with Me, the presentation of everything the person is concerned about in order to answer him in an easily understandable way. The human being has to intellectually consider everything arising from his heart, then a clear responsive thought will come to him, likewise gained through his intellect, and he will understand what was previously unclear to him, he will feel that he received advice from Me and all doubt will perish, for he turned to the right Source Which enlightened him. He has to conduct all his mental activities with My support, then correct thinking will be guaranteed. However, it is far more difficult to impart knowledge to a person who is mentally inactive, knowledge, which is completely unfamiliar to him and of which he therefore cannot form an opinion in order to attain an answer. This requires the complete exclusion of all mental activity, because then forces will be at work which affect the spirit in the person, for which the physical organs are not required. These forces are, in fact, also in direct contact with Me because they effectively only pass on what they receive from Me. Hence they establish contact with the spiritual spark in the person, they effectively exclude the organic person and transmit a flow of spiritual currents into the person’s soul. These spiritual currents affect the spiritual spark and establish its connection with the eternal Father-Spirit ….

Thus the spiritual influences originally come forth from Me, even if they are imparted to you through beings of light.

And such spiritual influences always signify thoughts of truth and clear realisation. I don’t want to keep you humans in darkness about anything, I want to illuminate your innermost being, as soon as this is your own will. I want to make the eternal truth known to people because they can only become blessed through the truth. But it only ever concerns the life of the soul …. which shall be attained through the truth, not earthly-material life, for this life has to be lived by you as I recognised from the start to be expedient and successful for you. Therefore the instructions, which I impart to you Myself or through beings of light, will relate to your spiritual development, thus they should be considered by you as a Gospel, a teaching originating from God, which leads back to God again. A person who takes his spiritual progress seriously will therefore only ask spiritual questions in his thoughts, he will lead a second life alongside his earthly life, which will certainly show itself in his earthly life because his thinking, intentions and actions will betray his spiritual attitude. Whilst he therefore takes care of his spiritual life I will take care of his earthly life …. which I will arrange appropriately in order to further his maturing. In fact, the human being’s wishes quite often diverge from My will …. I don’t always let life proceed as he would like, yet I truly know best what will help him reach perfection. Then the human being will speak to Me often and desire an answer that pleases him …. Yet he should only be spiritually-minded and leave Me to take care of everything else. The light that has been kindled in him shall shine far and wide and not only illuminate one person’s destiny …. it radiates from the spiritual kingdom to Earth and emits a bright shine. Light, however, is knowledge …. thus knowledge is conveyed to earth which has everlasting value, which is and must be helpful for all people or it would not be light from above. This is conveyed to you by forces of light on My instructions, and since it comes forth from the eternal Source only truth can flow to you. Consequently, with every examination you humans must consider whether spiritual thoughts or earthly questions are expected to be answered, if you become doubtful. You are only intended to spread spiritual knowledge amongst your fellow human beings, and this is imparted to you in all truth. However, earthly questions can also be answered, yet generally this answer only benefits the questioner and not another person, this is why someone who wants to be instructed from the spiritual kingdom is no longer paying attention to the world and is therefore a suitable recipient for spiritual gifts, which he then should distribute in order to help his fellow human beings ….

Amen

Christ's descent to earth once and now …. Act of Salvation ….

B.D. 5027 from December 24th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

At the time of My descent the same hardship prevailed on earth as can be found amongst humanity now, for it lived in the same profound spiritual darkness as it does now. I took pity upon this state and in order to help people I came to earth Myself. I came as Saviour, and a path out of darkness into light existed for people which I Myself showed to them. All they had to do was to emulate Me and their spiritual adversity would be over …. I came as Saviour and released them from Satan’s chains who had caused their immense spiritual hardship and from whom they lacked the strength to escape. The path I told people to take was possible for them to travel for I Myself went ahead of them as a guide. I Myself knew the path for I, too, had to take it beforehand, because I had embodied Myself within a human shell and therefore only expected from people what was possible for them to accomplish …. I took the path of love, and this path has to be taken by everyone who wants to awaken from the spiritual kingdom to the light of life, who wants to release himself from My adversary’s chains, who wants to be redeemed from sin, which was the cause of humanity’s profound spiritual hardship. I came as humanity’s Redeemer into the world which, without My help, would have got lost in darkness. And I accomplished the act of Salvation for time and eternity, for the past, present and future …. therefore also for present day people, who experience the same spiritual hardship and require urgent help if they don’t want to decline further and plunge into the abyss as a result of My adversary’s doing.

For the danger is far greater now because people are not granted much time anymore, the time of grace allowed for the redemption of the human race will expire soon …. Humanity is facing the end of a developmental period, it is approaching a significant chapter, it has to make its final decision, to choose life or death …. The only options will be continued existence or to perish completely, that is, a life according to divine will or physical and spiritual death if the human being fails to make the right decision …. And once again I come as Saviour in need, at first spiritually, according to My promise that I will reveal Myself to those that love Me and keep My commandments. To those I reveal Myself in the Word and inform them of the approaching end. But then I will come again in the clouds, just as I once ascended to heaven …. I will come and, when they are in greatest distress, will help those who followed Me, who have taken the path of love I preached by fetching them into My kingdom, away from the earth whose only remaining inhabitants will be devils in great numbers. I will come as a Saviour again, yet My arrival will be the conclusion of My act of Salvation on earth, because I will have died on the cross in vain for anyone who has not recognised Me by then, he has not accepted My act of Salvation and will remain in My adversary’s bondage for an incredibly long time to come. For he and his followers will be bound into matter, and spiritual death will be the fate of all those who refuse to acknowledge Me because they voluntarily submitted themselves to his influence, they ignored My act of Salvation and will therefore languish in the bondage of darkness due to their own fault ….

Amen

Battle of faith – Immense adversity – Professing Christ …. Saviour ….

B.D. 5028 from December 25th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

Remain in constant faith in your God and Father, Creator of Heaven and of Earth and Ruler of the spiritual kingdom in Power and in Glory …. remain in faith in Him even in greatest adversity and profess Him before the world …. This is demanded of you humans and requires much strength, especially during the last days before the end. And only those people will endure who request the strength for it from Me and constantly accept it through My Word. You will all still get into great difficulties, you will be put under a lot of earthly and spiritual pressure to change your mind and to deny Me. Even you, who are faithful, will still have to pass tests of faith, although they are expected of you more for the sake of your fellow human beings than for your own sakes. You will manage to struggle through because you already have much strength, because you are in contact with Me and will not break this contact off, because I hold on to you with My love which you feel and return with all your heart. Nevertheless, you cannot be spared these tests of faith, after all, your steadfastness is intended to make your fellow human beings realise where you receive the strength from and how effective it is because you believe in Me. It will be like it was when I came into the world, where faith in Me was even lacking in those who were considered to be their fellow human beings’ teachers and who, through their way of life, betrayed their shallow faith in a God of love, omnipotence and wisdom.

The same lack of faith will be in people now and those who are determined to make them deny God completely will find it easy and meet with little resistance, since people’s faith is lifeless because they live without love. They don’t believe in a God and Creator of eternity and even less in a divine Redeemer, Jesus Christ, in His act of Salvation and are therefore under the control of the one who wants to wrestle the souls from Me for good. He will not succeed for My love will not even let go of the lowest fallen souls. And therefore I allow Satan to do whatever he can think of in his hatred and delusion …. I allow it because I want to commence a new period of redemption as soon as there is no more hope that people will change on this earth. And thus he will rage until he goes too far, and you humans will experience the consequences and full force of his hatred, for he will fight those of you who belong to Me and wage a brutal battle.

Nevertheless, you should fearlessly anticipate this time, for I, too, will work extraordinarily, but with love and not hatred. And love will triumph, I will come to you as your Saviour when you are in greatest distress, but I predict this adversity time and again so that you will not waver in your faith but realise that everything will come to pass which I announced to you through seers and prophets, through My disciples of the last days, who work in My name in order to convey strength and comfort to you when you are in desperate situations. I Myself will always be close to you and this certainty will give you strength, and you will prevail until the end even in the staunchest battle of faith, I will fight by your side and victory will be ours ….

Amen

'The powers of the heavens shall be shaken ….' Reversal of natural laws …. Rapture ….

B.D. 5029 from December 28th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

The gift of grace from above is strength from heaven; it comes from the spiritual kingdom of light, from heaven, in contrast to the expressions of strength from below, which originate from hell. Beings from the kingdom of light thus become unusually active as soon as the pure Word of God can be conveyed to people by way of God-serving and helpful people’s will on earth who are receptive to the transmission from the spiritual kingdom and who accept the spiritual gifts …. The powers of heaven are moving …. they will be exceptionally active during the last days before the end. This explanation must first be given concerning Jesus’ Words about the signs of the end and His second coming. He made a powerful statement, for He announced changes which, according to His Words, signify a reversal of natural laws …. His Words always had a spiritual meaning, yet in the last days a second meaning will come to light apart from the spiritual meaning, for inconceivable natural phenomena will also take place, which the human being will be unable to explain by virtue of his intellect. They will run counter to divine natural law but are in principle only humanly unknown natural laws again, and these events are described by the Words ‘The stars shall fall from heaven …. The sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light …. ‘ Scientists and the like will be unable to provide an explanation for this, they will be unable to throw light on the matter because their knowledge fails them where divine strength is at work. No-one will be able to fathom these natural laws because they only come into force at the end of a period of Salvation and the disintegration of physical external forms has become necessary. They are unnatural phenomena and yet intended in God’s eternal plan, consequently part of His eternal natural law, which is completely incomprehensible to people who are as yet spiritually unenlightened.

Nothing is impossible to God …. hence He will always be able to be active and achieve everything, even outside of natural law; or else His omnipotence would be limited. Nevertheless, His activity always moves within divine order, for it is impossible for the human being as such to judge this; it would, however, be presumptuous to doubt it, because this would also doubt God’s wisdom. And since God is Eternal Love Himself He will always implement His will such as it is necessary and good for His living creations, which He wants to gain for Himself. Things will happen before the end which you humans cannot possibly imagine as yet. And this can only be vaguely indicated to people with Words which announce unusual, indeed, almost incredible events. Even so, the Word of God is purest truth and will come to pass when the time is right. Then the strangest changes will occur in the cosmos, yet this present human race will only be able to observe them in the beginning; the end will not be experienced by them apart from a few who will be taken away and be able to watch the process of destruction of this earth and their inhabitants …. The old form and composition of earth will have ceased to exist, but the new earth will only shelter spiritually awakened people who will know the reasons for all events at the end of the earth, however, they will also know about God’s power and glory, His greater than great love but also about His righteousness ….

Amen

Unusual need – unusual help …. feeding God’s word ….

B.D. 5030 from December 31th 1950, taken from Book No. 57

An unusually great spiritual adversity requires unusual help from where alone this adversity can be remedied, although human will has to accept this help first. Thus everything is done from the spiritual kingdom to provide people with help, for the time is drawing to a close and God’s mercy is exceedingly great, and He wants to bring salvation to all who have to expect a dreadful fate if they continue to resist the efforts to bring them light, so that they will recognize their spiritual hardship themselves and change. The state of adversity is precisely the great spiritual darkness, the ignorance in which people live, the indifference they show towards their souls and the way of life which is not suitable for them to become enlightened, because only a life of love can bring about light, that is, enlightenment of the spirit. As long as people are not aware of their actual purpose in life, their destiny and their deficient spiritual state, they only live a life for the world, and such a life is completely useless for eternity. Dark of spirit or with only a faint glimmer of realization they can enter the beyond, where an upward development is certainly still possible but not certain, since free will is still decisive there too, as it is on this earth.

But now it is the time of the end …. and that means that the gates of the spiritual kingdom are closing, that there is only an entry into the spheres of light or a banishment in the creations of the new earth …. that every soul which has not reached the light on earth is lost for an inconceivably long time, that it cannot continue its course of development in the spiritual kingdom but will inevitably be transferred into the state where it was an infinitely long time ago …. that it will be bound in hard matter again and has to cover the path through the whole of creation once more. God knows about every individual person’s maturity of soul and His mercy seeks to save everyone from this fate of being bound, but your will determines itself and He does not touch it. He constantly comes towards you, His light is brought everywhere through bearers of light …. All people are offered the opportunity to contemplate within themselves, to questioningly occupy themselves with thoughts about life after death, all people will be given a ray of light through word and scripture which can ignite in their hearts, and no-one will be able to say that they have remained completely uninformed …. But the will of man is free …. But time passes with lightning speed and the last day draws ever closer. He who finds himself in darkness takes a wrong path that does not lead to the aim. And he should pay attention to the flashing of the light which, depending on his will, is enduring and also sends a beneficial brightness into his heart, if he opens himself to the ray of light which touches him as divine help, so that he will not get lost ….

(31.12.1950) Countless messengers of light step into people’s path. They are active on earth on behalf of God, they enlighten where there is ignorance, they give light where there is darkness …. they bring people the truth which they have received directly from God, the eternal truth. And this is the extraordinary help that God Himself draws close to people, that He, recognizing people’s great adversity, supplies them with what they lack …. the pure truth, which alone leads out of spiritual adversity. As long as people live in error, in ignorance of their purpose and outcome, they will also miss their purpose of earthly life and suffer spiritual adversity. And the soul has to bear the consequences of this ignorance. For this reason God, in His love and mercy, conveys the truth to them, His word, through mediators who place themselves at His disposal to help their fellow human beings. This is an unusual help because people no longer make any effort to contact the heavenly father themselves in order to receive the truth directly from Him. People believe too little and therefore this direct connection from the human being to God is no longer possible. Yet God’s mercy and His love always devises new means where the human being himself fails …. He uses the willingness of a few people to help and spreads His word through them. And thus He kindles light to chase away the darkness which lies spread over the earth. This light shall also kindle the flame in the heart, love, and even that which comes from outside must first find acceptance in the heart, then the spirit will be illuminated, only then will the darkness disappear, only then will the spiritual adversity be remedied and salvation brought to the soul if people accept God’s word and let it take effect on them before it is too late, before night falls, which lasts endlessly and is exceedingly painful ….

Amen

Connection between spiritual beings and humans …. 'form' ….

B.D. 5031 from January 2nd 1951, taken from Book No. 57

The beings of the spiritual kingdom make great efforts to establish contact with people on earth. They seize every opportunity to make themselves known, for every being of light is entrusted with people on earth for whose spiritual progress they care, but just as the beings of darkness approach the inhabitants of earth because many of them correspond to their nature, i.e. have dispositions which drive the soul towards darkness. Therefore there is a battle in the spiritual kingdom for the souls of people on this earth, and people decide this battle themselves. No soul can be forced to be good or evil, although the beings of light have great strength at their disposal and it would be possible for them to determine the souls according to their will. Yet they always respect the human being’s will since it is divine law. Thus the beings of the spiritual kingdom wage a battle with each other which is decided by people themselves through their will. As soon as a connection is established with the spiritual kingdom those beings will approach the human being and make themselves known to him, to whom he himself grants access through his innermost attitude. Thus good people are protected by the beings of light, they cannot be forced into evil power or be induced by bad forces to do bad deeds. Only there is the danger that people themselves are not able to distinguish whether they are being instructed rightly or wrongly by proclamations from the spiritual kingdom. This danger exists when spiritual beings use a human form to make themselves known. In this case ‘form’ means a human shell which has given up its will, which therefore does not express itself in its actual essence, but where the soul steps back and gives a spiritual being authority over its outer shell. A good person is certainly protected by beings of light, but there are also strong spirits from the depths which are attracted by impure thoughts of individual people in the former’s surroundings. Then a moment can suffice for that spirit to force its way into the cover and, because it recognizes the good disposition in general, it expresses itself under the mask of light and seeks to confuse the listeners in their faith and thinking. This danger should always be recognized when it concerns messages from the spiritual kingdom which do not relate to earthly but spiritual things. As soon as the human being, whose spiritual beings make use of him in an unconscious state, subsequently lacks memory, he himself has no knowledge about the beings using his body, whereas the beings of light leave a glimmer in him so that he can also reproduce some of what was conveyed to him by these beings in an awake state. Through intimate contact with God people can also reach the state of fully consciously receiving spiritual announcements, and they are constantly in control of their body, i.e. they do not switch off their own will, so that only good forces from the spiritual kingdom can approach the good person who longs for God and truth and every dark force is pushed away by the human being’s will. But God evaluates people’s will …. If it is in favour of Him, then people can also be assured of His special protection and they will derive blessings for their souls from every spiritual contact. For countless beings are close to earth, concerned about the spiritual development of those who were close to them on earth, and these souls’ need to communicate is very great because they want to warn people against a wrong earthly way of life; therefore the spirits are also to be recognized …. Who only teach love and point to God, to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, who want to influence people in a good sense, and they will always protect the souls of these people from harm, thus they will also protect them from the attacks of evil ….

Amen

Spiritism …. truth – error ….

B.D. 5032 from January 3rd 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Your thinking is right as long as you want to think correctly in order to come close to Me, for as soon as your will is meant for Me you are already living in truth and need not fear any error because you will immediately recognize it as error. Anyone who fully consciously hands himself over to My guidance can also be certain that I will guide him correctly, thus never to the detriment of his soul. However, spiritual progress also includes the right knowledge, that is, the ability to make a right judgement. In order to sharpen this ability, the human being must also be presented with negative phenomena on which he should apply his ability to judge. For not everything is good that gives itself this appearance. Especially in the end time a serious examination of everything that is supposed to come from above is necessary because good and bad forces want to participate in the transformation of the human being and understandably the latter appear under camouflage, as beings of light, where weak or gullible people receive their expressions. But these weak people are always joined by good people of strong faith who have a special feeling for the influxes from below and thus reduce, if not eliminate, the effect of the opposing force. And therefore I bring people together who have united themselves in spiritual striving with the beings of the spiritual kingdom, so that one always serves the other for instruction. Yet I promise My fullest protection against the forces of darkness to every person who desires Me. And thus people can certainly be led astray who are only driven by a purely earthly desire to derive benefit for their body from the connection with the spirit world, who therefore have no spiritual striving but only curiosity to quote the spirit world. For they will also hear enough of powerful error without being able to protect themselves against it, for only the human being’s innermost attitude, the striving towards Me, guarantees protection. And thus everyone should examine himself to what extent he seeks the salvation of his soul and what kind of desire for knowledge he has …. And then he will also be able to answer himself whether and to what extent he stands in truth and whether his thinking is right ….

Amen

Suitability for teaching ministry …. awakened spirit …. ability to judge ….

B.D. 5033 from January 4th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

A teaching activity also requires one’s own intellectual thinking, it requires being completely permeated by knowledge which the human being is now to pass on. Only the person whose will is first willing to increase his knowledge in order to be able to fulfil his task, who therefore first allows himself to be taught by Me before he can carry out his task, receives the assignment to be active as a teacher from Me. Hence he has to let his intellect and heart participate, he cannot only accept spiritual knowledge with his heart and switch off his intellect, thus be a mediumistic tool of the beings of the kingdom of light, but as an earthly human being he has to utilize the spiritual gift, thus submit it to his intellect so that he, too, professes it and can now represent it to his fellow human beings as logical and claiming faith. The intellect must not be switched off, because the eternal truth, which is the content of the teaching, is again first received by the intellect before it touches the heart of the listener. For humanity itself is not yet able to directly receive truthful spiritual knowledge, which is then first conveyed through the heart …. It still has to be brought to people from outside and thus first presented to the intellect, and therefore the spiritual knowledge has to be able to withstand every intellectual examination. Hence it is also to be understood that people are suitable for spreading My gospel if they possess a clear faculty of judgment themselves, if their intellect is awakened, although the awakened spirit is first required in order to be able to receive the truth from Me directly, in order to be instructed in higher wisdom as My pupil. Only then can a teaching ministry be administered correctly on which countless people’s salvation depends, because only truth leads to the aim. Thus I prepare the disciples of the last days for Myself, I know how urgently necessary it is to spread the pure truth amongst people and I also know who is suitable for spreading it, both in terms of their soul and their physical constitution. Soul and body are in harmony with those who are to serve Me, yet their serving tasks are also different. I do not assign all of them to teaching activities because their abilities are different. Nevertheless, all who belong to Me can exert their influence on their fellow human beings by setting an example through their way of life, which is often more successful than speeches and teachings. Therefore everyone shall serve according to his ability, and everyone will be placed by Me in the place where he can work if love for Me and his fellow human beings impels him to do so. But anyone who is destined for teaching activity will be introduced to his office by Me Myself, and his will and his love for Me will also guarantee him the right success ….

Amen

Insertion into the divine will …. will decision ….

B.D. 5034 from January 6th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

And the human being deserves special merit if he submits to My will, which guides him according to his earthly task. For the submission of the will is, as it were, already a walking with Me, and every exercise in word or deed is right, i.e. pleasing to Me. Nevertheless, the human being should be active himself, thus not leave himself completely inactive to Me in the belief that I will then guide him mechanically …. For the human being is an independent being which, like Me, can want, think and act and must also use this gift, only in accordance with Me and not in opposition to Me. Thus his thoughts and actions correspond to My will and he will want the same if he has aligned himself with Me through his attitude. If his attitude is good, his thoughts and actions will also be good because he will be driven from within, by My spirit, to do good and will never be able to act contrary to Me. The spiritual resistance is then lifted and the human being works together with Me, which can only be good working. Nevertheless, he must constantly control himself as to whether he remains turned towards Me or whether his will also digresses towards the world, which always means a distance from Me. Therefore he is never to be regarded as a slave of his will, which can freely turn to wherever it draws him. And this means that the human being constantly has to struggle and fight, that he has to turn to Me anew again and again and is not compulsorily subject to Me because he once professed Me. Admittedly, this battle is only necessary on earth, and it becomes weaker and weaker the more the human being unites with Me through actions of love and prayer, so that in the end no turning to the world needs to be feared because it has lost all appeal for the one who has found unity with Me in free will. The battle of light against darkness, thus of the good and evil forces in the spiritual kingdom, in order to win people’s will lasts as long as it unites with earth, and these are the rights of both forces to influence the will in order to win it for themselves. My adversary has been granted this right and he makes use of it in every way. Earthly life was given to the human being for the purpose of a decision of will, thus both forces also have a corresponding effect on him, and the human being himself decides which force he will lean towards. Therefore it is of greatest blessing if the person striving towards Me sacrifices his will to Me, if he submits himself to Me again and again and thereby his turning away from My adversary is obvious. Then he will be seized by Me and safely guided upwards, and yet it is his own merit, because the decision is his own and he has triumphed over the power of darkness. His will, which is rightly directed, also secures him the supply of grace, which signifies constant strengthening of his will, so that My love is therefore always evident where the human being is in danger of becoming weak. I do not let the human being fall, I only require him to constantly strive towards Me so that I am also accessible to him ….

Amen

Process of development to perfection …. Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 5035 from January 7th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

All things press towards the perfection …. An eternal law will be fulfilled and the power and glory of God will be revealed. A work of redemption is taking place over an infinitely long period of time which you humans cannot even begin to comprehend but which nevertheless justifies all becoming and passing away, all creating and existing, because it is a matter of making imperfections perfect, of returning the power once emanating from God back to the original power …. to shape what has become ungodly of its own free will back into divinity as it was in the beginning. This transformation, the attainment of the original state, requires an endlessly long path. But God’s love and wisdom recognized from eternity both the necessity and the means to achieve the aim …. And thus His plan of salvation has been determined since eternity, according to which countless periods of development serve to bring the imperfect spiritual substance, which once fell away from Him, back to perfection. Infinitely great is His power, unsurpassable His wisdom and inexpressibly deep His love for that which He has created …. This overwhelming love determines Him to make new attempts at salvation again and again when the spiritual resists God through its own will and threatens to fail on the path upwards. Then He ends one redemption period, so to speak, in order to let a new one begin. He is a God of love but also of justice, He cannot withdraw His love from any being, yet the strength of love diminishes in the beings which resist Him, otherwise free will would be in danger. And therefore it is an exceedingly lengthy process which shall bring the imperfect to perfection …. it can take eternities but it can also be completed in a short time with the success of the spiritual being’s complete divinization, which inevitably has to take this path of development in order to reach God again as its origin.

All of you humans are such spiritual beings destined for perfection, you have all travelled the path and still have to go further until you reach the aim of being reunited with God. This path can be very long for you, yet as soon as you yourselves desire to give yourselves to God as the recognized father and creator of eternity, you already cover the last stretch of the path …. You are on the verge of perfection, for your will of resistance has been broken, the cause of your apostasy from God. God as the eternal love will not let you fall, no matter how much you are in sin; but you yourselves are walking a dreadful path as long as you wade in sin. And therefore you must call upon Him to lift you up out of an abyss which makes it difficult for you to ascend …. you must be free from a burden of sin which presses you to the ground and makes the path of ascent impossible for you, you must shake off your burden of sin and, because this is not possible for you alone, call upon your saviour, Jesus Christ, Who takes your sins upon His shoulders and adds them to humanity’s great guilt of sin for which He died on the cross. You must call upon Him …. for He alone is your salvation, He alone helps you to perfection …. One day you will truly stand above in the light, but how long you need to do so is for you to decide. Alone you will never reach the aim, but with Jesus Christ you will reach it very quickly …. It is He Who has bridged the deep gulf between you and God, it is He Who helps all people to attain perfection and Who can still save in the last hour those who faithfully call upon Him for help. That is why He calls to all sinners to come to Him, to free themselves from their guilt in order to easily cover the path of ascent. He is close to everyone who acknowledges Him, who believes in Him and prays to Him in his adversity. He wants to be the redeemer for everyone, He wants to show every person the path, He wants to bring the truth to everyone so that everyone will find eternal life before a period of redemption comes to an end which signifies spiritual death for all who have not found their way to Him, to Jesus Christ ….

Achieving the aim …. love …. will ….

B.D. 5036 from January 8th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I only have one aim, to make you humans My true children who adhere to the father with most trusting love and are always obedient to Him, i.e. who submit their will to Mine. What is of My spirit inevitably belongs to Me, and therefore I seek to gain it, because I cannot force it, I don’t want to proceed against My law of eternity which does not make what was originally created free unfree. How and by which path you, My creatures, now find your way to Me is left up to you, but I will assist all with My grace who long for Me as their ever loving father from eternity. The freedom of will alone makes a person’s diversity of thought, will and action understandable, and he also covers the path of ascent development in accordance with this. Every earthly wanderer certainly takes the right path to ascent if he strives towards Me as his aim, yet not all of them take the same step, not all of them have the same time and the same impetus, but they all reach the aim, albeit in different periods of time, provided My will does not prematurely call one or the other away from this earth. This will be understandable to anyone who seriously wrestles and wants to reach Me, that every path is different, that only one guarantees the right path, a way of life in love …. Love is the most effective stimulant, love is the strength which lifts the human being and makes the most difficult ascent easy for him, for love is the surest guarantee that I Myself will meet My living creations and lift them up to My fatherly heart, because I have now truly won My children if they have adapted their nature to Mine. Anyone who has love within himself truly does not need to laboriously climb a ladder to the top, he will be carried by the strength of love and will irrevocably land with Me. However, not all people take this simple path of love, which does not exclude the thorny nature, and yet they willingly strive towards Me. They also reach their aim because the will towards Me is a guarantee. They want, and I bless their will …. and thus they do what seems necessary to them in order to gain eternal life. They remain faithful to the teachings and precepts which were designated to them as the path to ascent by people who pretend to be guides on the way up. They do not detach themselves from the ceremony, but always in the belief that they are thereby acting in a manner pleasing to Me. Nevertheless, they are on the right path, even though this is not conceivable to them without external characteristics. Every person who strives upwards reaches the aim …. And thus let no one be distracted by the other whose will is serious to establish unity with Me …. I know the will of every individual and bless those who turn it towards Me. My blessing, however, means the giving of grace, thus help in every way so that My living creations will reach the aim, so that they will find their way to Me as My true children and be accepted by My fatherly love, because I Myself long for unification in order to make My children eternally blissfully happy ….

Amen

Fight against the enemy of souls …. call upon Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 5037 from January 9th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

You will always remain victorious in the battle against evil if you call upon Jesus Christ for help. He knows the enemy of souls, who also confronted Himself as an enemy when He walked on earth and who determined people to crucify Him. He knows him and knows his treachery, his cunning and violence and his power, which he abuses to push you humans away from God and to alienate you from Him. He knows him and therefore presents Himself to him for battle as soon as you call upon Him for help. You are in constant danger, for he lies in wait for you and tries to harm you, he knows who strives towards God and especially tries to bring him down by wanting to deceive him with a mask, by pretending to be pious and yet being full of satanic thoughts. Jesus Christ, however, exposes his shameful game and gives clear power of knowledge to the one who entrusts himself to Him. No call to Him goes unheard, and no enemy is too powerful for Him to take action against him. He compels all and emerges victorious. Therefore you need not fear the enemy of your souls, no matter what he wants to do against you, for as soon as you call upon Jesus Christ for help, for His assistance, he will leave you of his own accord because he knows and fears the power of the divine name. But anyone who trusts in his own strength and does not believe he needs Christ’s help is left to his own devices and has to take up the battle against satan himself. And he will be defeated, for a weak person is no match for his strength, which he also received from God and which he now uses in a completely wrong way. Jesus Christ always helpfully stands by you humans, yet you must come to Him and appeal to Him for His love and grace, you must believe in Him that He is a strong conqueror of satan, that He is therefore able to help you; and the help will not fail to arrive, He will deny the enemy of souls access to you as soon as you want to pay homage to Him, as soon as you hand yourselves over to Him that He may help you. For everything is subject to His power and He also controls the spiritual kingdom of evil, thus the forces of darkness have no power over you who call upon the divine redeemer Jesus Christ for protection against evil. Commend yourselves to His protection and His grace, and He will watch over you ….

Amen

Work of satan …. "I am the good shepherd …."

B.D. 5038 from January 10th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I will give you a sign by which you will recognize Who speaks to you, a sign which is irrefutable so that you will also acknowledge My direct activity. Yet you must pay attention to everything you encounter, for I always work within the framework of the natural so that you will not be forced to believe but it should be easy for you to believe. It is My will that you firmly live in the conviction to receive the pure truth, therefore I want to help you where this faith is in danger, where doubts arise in your heart, where you become weak due to satan’s influence. He certainly has great power but it never extends to My own who have the safest protection against him in My love. Therefore, if you are Mine through your will and your attitude you no longer need to fear him, for he only has power over the undecided and his followers as long as they do not call to Me for help. If I did not want to protect My own against him, then My love would truly be small or My power would be weak. Look around you and notice how he works where the world is placed before Me, where the desire for matter is predominant, where there is no love …. Everywhere he is the ruler and confuses people’s thinking. But where the striving towards Me is evident, where I am the aim, where matter is only disregarded and the human being strives to fulfil My will, that is My territory, and satan has lost his power there, although again and again he tries to break in like a wolf who wants to steal My sheep. but I am the good shepherd …. remember these My words …. I am the good shepherd …. Do you believe that I abandon My sheep to My enemy? Do you think that I watch him break into the sheepfold to cause confusion in My flock? Then I would not be a good shepherd and you would have to doubt My word …. Even the lost sheep I seek to win back, how much more will I protect those from the enemy who want to be Mine? The power of satan is certainly great, but greater than this is My love …. Hence a limit is also set to his power, which is why you, who desire My love, need not fear him. Through your desire you determine your lord to whom you want to belong; everything you desire and still belong to him also makes you his servant …. But if you strive for Me and My kingdom, then you are Mine and will remain Mine for all eternity, otherwise My love and My power would truly be limited if My own were not able to rely on it in every spiritual and earthly adversity. I am the good shepherd and lay down My life for My sheep …. Do not forget this word and you will always know that you are protected by Me and need not fear My adversary ….

Amen

Love of the world – Satan's followers …. Love of God – Overcoming matter ….

B.D. 5039 from January 11th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Only a person desiring to reach God lives a spiritual life, whereas a follower of Satan lives a purely worldly life on this earth, even if he seems to be a representative of God. Overcoming the world also means overcoming Satan, who is lord of the material world insofar as that the still immature spiritual substance bound in matter belongs to him, even though his power over it was removed from him. It is certainly still part of him because it shares his spirit yet it is inaccessible to his influence while it is bound in its form. Nevertheless it is his means in order to draw people …. the souls which have to make a decision between God and him …. over to himself. For the human being, who starts off spiritually immature, desires that which the world presents to his eyes. Yet he should rise above it …. Then he will belong to the Father of eternity but Whose kingdom is a spiritual one. Therefore, anyone who loves the world and its pleasures, who strives for material goods and only lives for their acquisition, belongs to God’s adversary and also gives him authority over himself. But anyone who strives for God is no longer attracted to the world, he has surmounted the world, otherwise the desire for God would not have awakened in him. Consequently, turning away from the world is also a sign of a voluntarily aspired affiliation with God.

Satan uses the world to entice and therefore has a means of attraction which most people fall prey to because they love the world. Love of the world and love of God are not possible at the same time, and love of the world and neighbourly love will also rarely be found together as the latter would indicate a lessening of the former, and thereby you recognise the followers of God and the followers of God’s adversary …. And as long as a person still pays attention to worldly possessions and still yearns for them he will be unable to find inner peace, the peace of soul. For peace of soul comes from God, and God is only with someone who turns his back to the world. The human being is certainly placed into the world and has to fulfil his earthly task, and that will also force him to keep in touch with the world. Yet it concerns the desire of the heart, it concerns the innermost attitude towards the world’s treasures which will completely lose their appeal if a person is imbued with the need to strive for the spiritual kingdom and its treasures. In that case he will indeed continue to exist in the world yet only to fulfil the duties which earthly life imposes on him. The world, however, will no longer attract him, and that is the sign that he has overcome the world and with it its lord, that he has detached himself from God’s adversary so as to be able to establish contact with God. No-one can serve two masters, and his desire clearly demonstrates to which lord a person is of service …. The earthly world and the spiritual kingdom are so far apart from each other that what a human heart desires is easily distinguished. And Satan can never dominate a person who, through his will, has already been taken possession of by God ….

Amen

Revelations …. book of fathers …. living word ….

B.D. 5040 from January 13th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I am always with you if you want to communicate with Me, if your heart desires Me. But the world does not recognize Me, My fundamental nature is unknown to it, that is, I have become so alien to people whose thoughts and aspirations are still in the earthly world that they are unable to believe that I reveal Myself to My children, that I speak to them through the heart, that I am therefore in closest contact with them. And therefore you will always find resistance if you mention My revelations to the world. And this resistance will also occasionally cause doubts in your heart as to the truthfulness of what I reveal to you through the spirit. But always bear in mind that the followers of the world are not capable of judgement, just as they also lack knowledge, thus their resistance is easily understandable because it corresponds to their imperfect nature. But you should not let this resistance determine you to doubt My presence. Anyone who desires Me will also find fulfilment, I will also be present to him and also manifest My presence through My word. But thus I am also present to those who, desiring to hear Me, read the Book of the fathers, which is likewise a revelation on My part and will remain so as long as the earth exists. Thus anyone who reads it with love for Me in his heart will hear Me Myself speak, for the letters will come alive to him, they will tell him what I Myself want to say to him …. Every person will experience the expression of My love differently, and everyone will be able to testify that he has experienced it. For I look into hearts and where I discover a desire for Me and My love I am always willing to fulfil it. A follower of the world, however, does not long for Me because the world seems more desirable to him. To them the hearing of the inner word is incomprehensible and unbelievable, just as My word in the book of the fathers will remain charmless and without content as long as they are still followers of the world. Thus they will never be able to experience the blessings and the strength of My word and will therefore always be the enemies of those who are in close contact with Me and receive My word from Me. The closer it is to the end the smaller the flock of My own will become and the greater their opponents who are so far away from Me that I no longer exist for them, thus they also consider an expression on My part impossible because they no longer acknowledge Me Myself. But then My own shall have all the deeper faith, which I will reward them with such obvious signs of My presence that they will draw strength from it to resist their enemies, who are now also My enemies because they fight against Me, because they also want to rob My own of their faith and take brutal action against them. I remain with you until the end of the world …. I will truly not leave you who desire Me, and I will always be with you in the word as soon as you desire to hear Me ….

Amen

Achieving beatitude – Free will …. Wolf amongst sheep ….

B.D. 5041 from January 14th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I truly only have but one goal, to give you humans beatitude …. But your blessedness first and foremost necessitates that you should want it yourselves. Try to understand that this is not up to My will but solely up to your own free will.

And this will is also sought by My adversary, who does not want to let go of you but cannot hold on to you if you want Me. Thus you can understand that and why he afflicts those people who strive towards Me, whose will has in fact already chosen Me but whom he wants to regain. Beatitude is only possible in unity with Me, which will be achieved without fail once a person has made his decision in My favour. Anyone who desires Me is no longer at risk, but as long as he lives on earth he will be confronted by all kinds of temptations, because My adversary will not stop fighting until then, even if he is unsuccessful.

My adversary works with cunning and force indeed; nevertheless, his spirit is dark or he would recognise the futility of his endeavour. I want to give you beatitude …. and by directing your will towards Me you humans give Me the right yourselves to draw you towards Me. But Satan, realising that you are lost to him, will not give in because he underestimates the strength of My love, since he believes that he can still wrest from Me what nevertheless belongs to Me. His method is to cause confusion, to plant doubts into people’s hearts and thereby shake their faith in Me. Yet, again, only your will is the decisive factor. If it belongs to Me then you will soon recognise his deception and turn away from him. What was incomprehensible will become clear to you, and you will liberate yourselves from his power, he cannot hold on to you because you strive towards Me. Hence, anyone who wants Me will reach his goal indeed, irrespective of Satan’s raging during the last days before the end.

Admittedly, at times he will be difficult to detect, for he frequently sneaks in disguised and takes hold of the most fleeting thought that could serve his purpose. He works with much cunning and force and people, who are not fully instructed in the truth, are used by him as tools because error itself grants him the cover he needs to conduct his battle from there. Pure truth will not let him arise, since he will always be recognised by those who live in truth. However, even the slightest error will grant him access, and then he will cause utter confusion, like a wolf that breaks into a sheep pen generates fear and terror. Yet even then he will still be unable to cause harm if My sheep take flight to Me, to their shepherd, Who protects them from all danger. Thus, again, only the will is decisive, and as soon as it is turned towards Me, Satan has lost all power over a person. Thus you should know that you will always be on the right path when I Am your goal, that you can neither fall nor trip since I Am walking with you because I Myself want to help you gain beatitude. Therefore, do not fear any adverse power but trust only in Me, your God and Father of eternity, hand yourselves over to Me and strive towards Me …. Then your will shall belong to Me and truly, I shall not let you fall into My adversary’s hands, who wants to alienate you from Me. My love will seize you, and the strength of My love will also conquer him, since nothing can resist My love forever ….

Embodiment as a human being consequence of sin …. work of redemption ….

B.D. 5042a from January 15th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Your being as a human being is the result of sin. You had to take on a subordinate form, a form which is impermanent, which was therefore only created by Me for the duration of your stay in it and which will always remain transient because its substance is matter, something immature spiritual which requires an exceedingly long time in order to enliven a human body like your soul. This external form of yours is a burden, a fetter, which imposes constraints on the spiritual being sheltered in it, thus the state of the spiritual is not bliss. It is in a state of judgement, and this judgement is the result of sin, of the former rebellion against Me and the turning away from Me …. Sin is an offence against love. Love is something divinely sublime, it is the original substance of Myself, thus an offence against love is also an offence against Me which cannot go unpunished according to divine justice. The sin cannot be undone by My love but it has to be atoned for or My justice would not be satisfied …. This act of justice takes place through the banishment of the spiritual substance, which once resisted Me, in a material form, which always means a fetter for it. Hence this bondage is a consequence of sin, and thus all spiritual substances which are bound in the material creation up to the human being are under judgment. It is, as it were, atoning for the guilt it has incurred through the sin of its former rebellion against Me. The process of atonement, however, lasts an infinite amount of time and would not end with the last embodiment as a human being either, since the guilt is inconceivably great and the atonement could not be made in the short time of earthly life ….

Embodiment as a human being consequence of sin …. work of redemption ….

B.D. 5042b from January 16th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

which this great guilt required. Thus an inconceivably great sacrifice of atonement had to be made, for according to divine justice satisfaction had to be made for Me; the sin had to be cancelled, so to speak, and an immense purchase price had to be paid for the freedom of the beings under ban. The guilt of sin had to be redeemed …. And this work was accomplished by the man Jesus for the whole of humanity …. You humans cannot measure the magnitude of this labour of love because you also lack all understanding for the magnitude of the guilt. All beings which still resist Me live in this guilt of sin, unconsciously in the bound state, consciously in the state of free will, as a human being, because the latter is also aware of his state of weakness, of his lack of strength and light, as long as he is still under the spell of sin. The fact that he usually does not want to admit this is proof of his lightlessness and also proof of his sinfulness, which does not always mean a sinful life on earth. The great sin of the former rebellion against Me is to blame for the banished state, and this great sin must first be redeemed before the being attains light and strength.

The man Jesus knew about the great hardship and the unspeakable misery in which the fallen spiritual being found itself; He also knew that it was impossible to atone for guilt during earthly life and that the being could not ascend in the spiritual kingdom either because the burden of sin always pulled it into the abyss and it could not defend itself against the forces from below. Jesus knew about the wretched state of the being who had become sinful through his own will, and He wanted to help him …. He wanted to take the immense guilt of sin upon Himself in order to bring him redemption. His love was superhumanly great that He accomplished a work which consisted of superhuman hardship and suffering. He brought Me a sacrifice of atonement. He redeemed all men from sin. But the free will of man is not eliminated …. The work of redemption must be acknowledged and claimed …. The human being must also carry his excessive guilt of sin to the divine redeemer’s cross, he must recognize and confess himself before Him as a sinner, as a weak, inadequate human being who is and will remain bound if Jesus Christ does not have mercy on him and intercedes for him as a merciful mediator Who is willing to redeem his guilt, as soon as the human being believes in Him as redeemer, repentantly confesses his sinfulness to Him and asks for forgiveness of his guilt. Only the recognition and confession of one’s guilt is the sign of faith in Jesus Christ. The human being must call to Him from the depths, he must implore Him for help in his spiritual need. He must entrust himself to Him, he must know and confess that he is in the depths and needs His help, he must stretch out his hands to Him and demand mercy from Him, then he will also recognize his guilt, his defective state, which is the result of the great sin, which was the cause of every human being’s embodiment on earth, and in heartfelt prayer he must appeal to Jesus’ support in order to ascend to Me, Who came to My children on earth Myself in the human being Jesus in order to redeem the immense guilt of sin …. And salvation will come to all who confess their sin, for by admitting their guilt they willingly detach themselves from the one who let them become guilty and request forgiveness, which will also be granted to them for the sake of Jesus Christ ….

Amen

Revelation …. living faith ….

B.D. 5043 from January 17th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I am always present to you as soon as you seek Me mentally. Then the connection is established between the spiritual spark in you and its eternal father-spirit. But an instruction can only take place if you desire it, i.e. if you act as a receiving organ by listening to what My spirit announces to you, by paying attention to your thoughts if you do not yet hear My word in sound. Not every thought can be regarded as instruction on My part, but always those thoughts which arise in you after heartfelt prayer and questions to which you desire an answer. These are My answer and you should acknowledge them as such. Therefore it is you yourselves, so to speak, who cause Me to express Myself spiritually, as soon as you converse with Me, thus desire an answer to questions. I do not express Myself to those who neither believe nor want Me to speak to them, because they would not listen to an address or, if it undoubtedly sounded in their hearts, it would force them to believe, which would be completely worthless for the soul. And likewise, I will not give any obvious evidence by which the human being could certainly be strengthened in faith but would also, as it were, be subject to a compulsion of faith. A freely gained faith is far more effective and provides the human being with a blissful certainty of heartfelt unity with Me. My constant endeavour is to bring you humans to a living faith, therefore I must sometimes seemingly distance Myself from you so that you will believe …. yet you will not otherwise attain such faith which achieves everything it wants. I am certainly always present to you but sometimes I let the feeling of being alone arise in you so that you sincerely desire My presence in order to then also be able to feel it. For you alone determine when My presence reveals itself to you. It is only you who cause Me to speak, and thus you hear My voice as soon as you desire it. Whether you recognize it as My voice again only depends on yourselves, on the depth of your faith, which recognizes in Me a being full of love, Which wants to make Itself known to Its living creations in order to also gain their love. Faith in My love considers everything possible, even that a father reveals Himself to His children ….

Amen

Spiritual work …. light …. knowledge …. plan of salvation ….

B.D. 5044 from January 19th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I speak to you through My spirit, always with the same love and unchanging patience. My words are only ever means of grace to help you attain beatitude. My love for you causes Me to reveal Myself to you, and in order for you to recognize Me I work in you, because My adversary also tries to influence you from outside but he can never express himself through the spirit in you. For the spiritual spark in you is only active when you establish the connection with Me through loving activity or heartfelt prayer. Thus spiritual activity is always the expression of Myself and therefore beyond all doubt. But the adversary can also influence the human being’s thoughts, which he likewise regards as coming from within, and therefore it has to be examined what is to be understood by working of the spirit, which My adversary has no ability to do and never will have.

My adversary cannot let anything arise in the human heart but he can only awaken or bring to mind such thoughts in him which are already dormant in him, i.e. which have already impressed the brain through external events or thought activity based on experiences or knowledge imparted to him from outside. Hence something must be present in the human being which the adversary stimulates through his influence, and understandably he will only bring to mind in the human being that which is helpful to his striving to distance him from Me; thus he will never influence him in My will …. Spiritual working, however, brings mental results to light which the human being had not previously gained in any way and which can never be imparted to him from outside either, unless someone else’s spiritual working is brought to his attention.

Spiritual work is an introduction to eternal truth, an elucidation of hitherto dark areas, a solution to problems that exceed human understanding. Spiritual work is also the gaining of a profound knowledge of the meaning and purpose of creation and of the creator’s original relationship to what has been created. It is a higher wisdom which, however, mind you, comes to the human being from within, for even the same knowledge brought to him from outside only becomes realization if it is illuminated by the spirit in the human being, thus I can work in the human being through the spirit. Now My adversary can never impart this knowledge to a person who has never been given such knowledge before, who does not have the ability to do so, thus he can never give this knowledge to a person in bondage to him from within either, because he no longer possesses it himself, since he has fallen and this fall also brought darkness of spirit with it. He finds himself in completely wrong thinking and tries to transfer this to people, and he will only ever impart the thoughts to the human being which correspond to his darkness and push him away from Me. My adversary flees the truth and will therefore never convey it to the person he wants to distance from Me. Truth, however, is the knowledge which portrays Me as the most loving, omnipotent and exceedingly wise creator of heaven and earth …. Truth is the knowledge which gives light, thus brings the human being knowledge about My eternal plan of salvation. For the latter will also learn to recognize Me as a God of love, as I also want to be recognized by My living creations so that they will love Me again and strive for unification with Me, which is the first and last aim of all created things, because this unification signifies eternal bliss which I want to prepare for My living creations ….

Through the spiritual spark in the human being he is inseparably connected to Me, yet he only awakens to life from Me when he himself establishes the connection with the eternal father-spirit. And so that you humans recognize this, I work through My spirit in you who believe in Me and long for Me …. I reveal Myself to you in My love, wisdom and power ….

Amen

Seers and prophets …. strength of will and faith ….

B.D. 5045 from January 21st 1951, taken from Book No. 57

It requires a special firmness of faith to face fellow human beings as a seer and prophet, for the earthly material world with all its representatives stands in such stark contrast to what is predicted by the prophets that this is rejected as fantasy and the prophet himself is ridiculed and mocked. And this attitude of worldly-minded people is also easily able to shake a seer and prophet if he is not firm in faith and again and again withdraws into silence in order to remain in contact with this world which has conveyed to him what is coming. The strength of faith of these mediators awakened by Me between Me and people must have such a convincing effect on fellow human beings that they believe everything to be possible, even the predicted event, because they believe their words. And therefore only people of strong will and faith can hold this office, who will not let themselves be shaken by threats when the going gets tough in the end. I will inform people beforehand, I will warn them and give them the opportunity to change their will …. Therefore I must also have organs on earth through which I can speak to people and inform them of what is coming. Through them I want to announce the near end and the preceding great adversity, which is partly caused by nature and partly by humanity itself, which has become diabolical; I want to inform them of the reason and the effect, I want to help people in every way so that they come to the right realization and tackle their soul’s work. And therefore I make Myself known to people through seers and prophets, for anyone of good will will also know that they do not speak out of themselves but that I express Myself through them. For they represent a completely different world than the one in which people feel comfortable, they preach My kingdom which is not of this world, and their words are My words with which I still want to draw people over into My camp before it is too late. It will certainly be difficult for My servants in the end time to remain strong and firm in faith, yet they are My representatives whom I also fill with My strength and give them the ability to stand firm in the face of the world. They also have to be strengthened from the spiritual kingdom because people in the end time are so far removed from Me that they no longer accept anything spiritual and this attitude would deprive My servants of all security if they were not filled with the spirit and strength from Me that they are knowledgeable and able to meet all opposition as far as possible. Anyone who listens to them and takes their words to heart will do well, for the end will come irrevocably and the adversity beforehand will give him the proof that they are not just words which flow from the mouths of seers and prophets …. And the harder the battle is against Me, against faith and against all spiritual striving, the firmer will those stand whom I Myself have chosen to proclaim the end, the great adversity and the day of judgment. Their faith will be strong and also still defeat individual people and snatch them from the power of darkness. But woe to those who do not listen to them, for their end will be terrible ….

Amen

God's promise …. earthly and spiritual ….

B.D. 5046 from January 22nd 1951, taken from Book No. 57

What I have promised you will come true as soon as you live according to My word. Therefore you need not fear earthly or spiritual hardship, for I will provide you with everything you need for body and soul if you feel like My children and make an effort to fulfil My will. My promises are always linked to the fulfilment of My commandments, to the living out of My word in free will. I promise you eternal life and also take over the care of the body as long as you stay on earth. Thus I am lord over time and eternity, and My love for you, for whom I want to prepare a blissful fate, will never cease. But as long as you live on earth you have to acquire life in eternity. And therefore I give you strength and grace that you will be able, if you want it, to become happy. I will provide you with everything you need so that you can carelessly seek your salvation, so that you can work on your soul so that it will become mature for the entrance into eternal life. Through My promise I want to give you comfort and strength and confidence in every adversity, for My word is truth and comes true. Therefore there is nothing that may oppress you, for I promised you to bear every burden and to avert every adversity from you, I promised you spiritual and physical nourishment and finally heavenly bliss. You shall attain the vision of God and be eternally blissful in My love …. But I demand of you that you love Me and serve Me in humility and obedience, that you come to Me like children and long for My fatherly love …. Yet I require of you love for your neighbour, through which you manifest love for Me …. I only ask little of you in order to be able to give you immeasurably much, as I have promised that no man’s eye has ever seen and no man’s ear has ever heard what I have prepared for those who love Me ….

Amen

Vocation …. task …. truth bearer …. sensitivity to untruth ….

B.D. 5047 from January 23rd 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Anyone who feels called to work for Me and My kingdom can always be certain of My blessing, of My support, for whom I choose Myself will also be strengthened and enabled by Me for his office, and the inner urge to be spiritually active and to lead fellow human beings to faith in Me is the sign of his calling for Me, which he can now accept as completely certain. But his calling is connected with tasks, certain duties, which he has to fulfil in order to be a faithful and diligent servant to Me. His main task first consists of spreading the gospel, which he receives directly from Me in its purest form. Therefore he must first listen to Me if I want to convey the gospel from above to him, if I instruct him and make him suitable for his office. He must process what he hears from Me with heart and mind in order to be able to pass it on to his fellow human beings in a lively manner, since only a lively presentation makes an impression on the listener and can likewise stimulate him into eager spiritual activity. He must not become lukewarm and careless in his work because his knowledge matures according to his eagerness to work. And the realization of truth then also enables him to assess everything that is advocated as truth amongst people but is often far removed from the truth …. Anyone who is instructed by Me to spread the pure truth will also certainly be in fullest knowledge and have the ability to pass right judgment as long as he is a faithful worker for Me himself and seeks to fulfil My will. And thus he also has the duty to stand up against what he recognizes as lies and error by virtue of the enlightenment of the spirit …. He should be critical in his assessment of spiritual thought material, then he will certainly recognize the wrong emotionally, for I place this gift into the heart of the one whom I have called to work in My vineyard. You humans often think wrongly because you do not defend yourselves against the influence from below which aims to confuse your thinking. A right desire for truth and sincere love for Me protects you from this influence. Yet the desire for truth is not overly strong in you humans and therefore you often fall prey to the whisperings of those forces which try to instigate confusion in order to separate you from the eternal truth. For this reason I send bearers of truth amongst you humans who are to bring you the truth on My behalf and who are also permeated by truth themselves, so that they will pay attention where they are confronted by untruth. Thus you, who feel called by Me to spiritual work, should fearlessly fight against that which is not in harmony with the only truth which I Myself convey to you from above. This is a duty which is connected with your calling, otherwise your activity would be in vain to introduce fellow human beings to the truth. Remain eagerly active for Me and My kingdom and both your knowledge and your ability to judge will increase, you will brightly and clearly see every untruth, and then you should also not be afraid to openly take action against it, for I Myself place the right feeling in your heart and will always bless your work for Me ….

Explanation and reason for an arduous destiny ….

B.D. 5048 from January 24th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

An arduous destiny on earth will profit the salvation of your souls. For every day brings you closer to the end and the end is near. And do you know whether you will experience the last days? Do you know that you won’t be called back before the end and that your earthly life might only last a short time yet? Always consider that tomorrow could be your last day and that you will then be grateful to have reached that particular degree of maturity which entitles you to enter the realm of light. Consider that earthly life is only the means to an end and that it won’t last forever. Everything is temporary, joy and sorrow, desire and pain. Only the soul is immortal and its suffering should be reduced. Therefore the body has to suffer as long as the soul lives on earth. Those who are spared suffering on earth cannot expect a painless hour of death because the soul will still have much ballast which it will take across into the spiritual realm. Yet the agonies in the beyond are considerably greater and can often last an endless time if a soul is hardened and thus will find little help.

People still have to endure much adversity because time is passing swiftly and rapidly bringing the end. Only the soul which has been purified by grief and suffering will have the strength to resist during the last days …. because such a soul can receive My strength, while a soul within a dense cover cannot be touched by My emanation. For this reason the human being should look at each day as a gift of grace and be grateful, he should use his time well since he does not know when it ends, because one day he will regret every day which has not brought him spiritual progress. Suffering and love mature the soul and therefore you human beings must patiently endure what is given to you as this is in your best interest; everything My will inflicts on you can lead you to perfection ….

Many paths – One goal …. True members of the church ….

B.D. 5049 from January 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Complement each other but do not separate; walk together but do not take different paths if you all have the one goal to reach Me, to behold My countenance and to be blissfully happy in eternity. You should know that I assess every single person according to his inner nature and that I do not reject anyone even though he may not turn to Me, for he is an erring child which only requires My grace and mercy and not My wrath. Hence I will also help all misguided people and gently push them onto the right path which leads to Me. Every person is considered differently, yet this should not lead you to believe that he would therefore be unable to reach the goal. Anyone who merely asks for Me will also be pulled up by Me. Therefore do not fight against each other but fight together in the last battle on this earth. Then there will only be one troop for Me whose commander-in-chief I Am …. who believe in Jesus Christ and therefore have His name imprinted on their forehead …. I only take notice of one thing, and that is of importance, namely to what extent their faith is alive …. the fact that they profess Jesus Christ with their mouth does not yet include them in the group of My Own, but the fact that they are true Christians who live a life of following Jesus and have thereby attained a living faith is decisive in order to be included in My small flock whose shepherd I Am.

And as long as the congregations fight each other they lack this living faith, because then they will also lack the understanding of that which I regard as the church founded by Me. True members of this church of Mine understand each other even if they belong to different denominations and schools of thought, true members try to find each other and are happy to have found themselves, and true members are in innermost contact with Me Myself because they desire My Word and also recognise it as the right food and drink. True members of My church are not offended by outward appearances and attach no importance to them either, but they are permeated by love for Me as well as for their neighbour, consequently their spirit is awakened and instructs them correctly, so that they recognise each other and have nothing against each other anymore. Then they will strive to ascend together, and if the way up is difficult one will help the other, for then they will approach an elevated goal: they will return to the Father’s house and I will come to meet them and show Myself to them, for I will draw near to anyone who genuinely desires Me, I will approach them as a friend and brother and draw all My children to My Fatherly heart, never ever letting go of them again ….

Volunteer God serving …. struggles of the soul ….

B.D. 5050 from January 27th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

To be active in free will for Me and My kingdom, without any inner and outer compulsion, is the right redemption work which you, My labourers in the vineyard, should carry out for your own and your fellow human beings’ blessing. I cannot determine you, just as I cannot prevent you from striving in opposition to Me; you must want to serve Me of your own accord and always be ready for Me, otherwise you will still place the world above Me and then you will not be able to be suitable servants. I know about your will, I know about your inner struggles and about the challenges which approach you from within and without, but I also enable you to nevertheless carry out spiritual work because I impart an extraordinary gift of grace to you which gives you strength and light so that you can certainly recognize the right path even if dark shadows obscure it. The last time on earth is a time of struggle of utmost importance, it is a struggle for every single soul on the part of the dark forces, yet you humans are not defenceless in the face of them, for I, too, am obviously active and always ready with My help where you are in danger of succumbing. Moreover, the time still doesn’t last long …. A fierce struggle is a sign that it is necessary for the soul …. why it is necessary I alone know, therefore always recognize Me, even in your oppressive events, for nothing comes over you without meaning. Earthly life seems to go on calmly but the more the soul life of those who want to belong to Me is agitated. Earthly life seeks to win people over for itself, it seeks to turn all thoughts towards itself, and therefore the soul must also be aroused so that it does not remain inactive and finally becomes captivated by the world. Just recognize Me everywhere, even in suffering, then you will bear it calmly and devotedly, and your soul will mature and always grasp Me more and more, it will also feel My presence and be calm and peaceful despite the storm and struggle in earthly life. I constantly hold My protective hand over you, yet I will never force you or have a coercive effect on you that you should serve Me …. voluntarily, for love of Me, you must do what the spiritual hardship among people requires …. tell them about the pure gospel which is sent to you from above as an extraordinary gift of grace in order to help humanity …. The spiritual hardship is great, your work will often be unsuccessful, yet nothing is done in vain which is undertaken for the salvation of erring souls …. One day you will experience the results yourselves, and the souls you have rescued from spiritual adversity will thank you, for My pure word is blessed with My strength and will become effective wherever there is just the slightest will to recognize Me and to reach Me ….

Amen

Childship to God …. grace, power …. suffering and love ….

B.D. 5051 from January 28th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

To achieve childship to God requires great self-conquest and constant work on his soul, i.e. constant control of his thoughts, speeches and deeds. The human being must strive for good from the heart and therefore also be completely in love, he must discard all bad characteristics, be pure and true in his whole being, he must remain in constant contact with Me, otherwise he is without strength even though he has good will. He must constantly draw strength from Me through loving activity or prayer, i.e. mental contact with Me with the request for strength. You humans can achieve much on earth but you must always be supported by My grace which, however, will never be withheld from you if only you desire it. Without grace you are weak, and without a request for strength you cannot receive it. Thus you must inevitably make contact with Me, but then you can also be certain that you will receive strength in order to fulfil your task on earth …. to educate yourselves to become children of God to whom all beatitudes are accessible in the spiritual kingdom. The childship to God is the highest degree of perfection you can attain on earth, therefore it will also be understandable to you that this attainment of the degree of perfection necessitates an extremely difficult earthly life, and then many a fate of good, devout people will be explainable to you who have to suffer exceedingly during their earthly life. Love and suffering crystallises the soul and makes it receptive to light, love and suffering loosens the dense covering and spiritualizes the soul so that it can enter the spiritual kingdom completely carefree. A quiet earthly life free of suffering can never produce the degree of maturity which gives the right to childship to God, to the state which allows a direct dwelling in My nearness, a being able to create, as it were, with Me and in My will in unlimited bliss. Earthly life is only short, and even if it were one of the most difficult and sorrowful, it nevertheless does not compare with that bliss which is part of the one who attains the degree of childship to God on earth. Yet again and again you should be told that you are only able to reach this degree with My support, with the impartation of grace and strength, and that you therefore always have to remain in contact with Me, for without Me you can do nothing ….

Amen

Explanation of the awakening of the spirit …. hearing the inner word ….

B.D. 5052 from January 29th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Awaken the spiritual spark in you to life and you will no longer doubt that I, as father, speak to you as My children, for the spirit in you unites with the eternal father-spirit, it receives My word and passes it on to the soul, which thus now hears My word as it originates from Me. Hence the soul always hears My emanation of love which expresses itself in the form of My word; but the human being as such is not always able to understand the language of the spirit, and therefore the soul has to mentally pass on the imparted word to the human being, it has to adapt itself to his ability to (mentally) receive spiritual gift. Hence the soul can want the spirit to make itself known to it, then it will receive without restriction, but the human being need not know about it, even though he forms the soul’s external cover, for it would often be incomprehensible to him, which makes the soul extraordinarily happy. But then the soul has already experienced an unusual strengthening, and it now seeks to influence the external human being in such a way that he willingly complies with the soul’s desire. So then the human being’s intellect withdraws and he begins to listen within himself, he tries to understand the voice of the soul and then he becomes aware of what the soul has received from the spiritual kingdom. Then spirit, soul and body are in harmony, and then the human being can receive undreamt-of wisdom because the spirit in him no longer rests once it has been awakened to life. Then the body cannot permanently remain insensitive to the divine word, it will be touched by the ray of My love and its strength will start to take effect, so that the spirit will become increasingly more alive and also the soul, which will likewise increase in light and strength, because every emanation on My part signifies light and imparts strength from Me to the human being. Then the soul will also succeed in making itself understood to the human being, in determining him, in paying attention to all impressions in the heart, and thus, if the human being listens within, he can clearly hear My word within himself and then also send it to the intellect. Then the heart and intellect will be active, then the spirit spark which has been awakened to life will have accomplished a tremendous change of nature, it will have shaped the soul and body according to its will, which is therefore My will, into a receptacle for the strength from Me, it will have determined the human being’s soul …. thinking, feeling and will …. to submit itself to Me, and then the body, too, complies with My will, and thus the human being consciously becomes the recipient of My word, of My emanation of love, which is, so to speak, the elixir of life for the soul through which its eternal life is assured. Such a spiritual awakening can be accomplished according to plan if the human being’s thoughts turn to Me of his own free will and he appeals to Me for strength and grace, for My spirit. Then, because the human being wants it himself, My strength will obviously flow into him, and then the soul as well as the human being’s heart will be able to understand My word in an instant, because the strength of the spirit has an inconceivable effect that it can change a person into a receptacle for My spirit in an instant as soon as he only has the firm will to serve Me through this ability, thus to be redeemingly active for his fellow human beings. This will is the reason for a gift of grace of the most comprehensive kind. It allows no restrictions because My spirit is unlimited and its activity is only determined by the human being’s will itself. And thus the human being’s will also determines the nature of the working of the spirit and the way in which the gift of grace is to be evaluated, and in accordance with this will every person receives the gifts of the spirit in order to be a living testimony to his fellow human beings of the success of the right relationship with Me, his creator and father of eternity ….

Amen

Light and shadow …. truth bearers ….

B.D. 5053 from January 30th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

In the twilight you do not feel the shadows, but you do when you stand in the light. The light should indeed shine through your soul in such a way that every shadow is consumed, nevertheless a shadow will creep in again and again, dark figures who believe that they can extinguish the light if they place themselves in front of it. They can indeed temporarily dim a light, but once it is kindled in a person’s heart, the shadows will also be discovered and prevented from spreading …. A person who has once gained sight no longer allows himself to be dominated by darkness because he recognizes it early enough and meets it with the light which comes from above. Therefore do not fear the shadows, they are insubstantial and no longer a serious danger for a light bearer, they will always be there where a light shines brightly but can never exist in its glow. He who has made it his task to carry the light amongst people is also served by countless angels of light, because the human being wants to serve God. And thus he accepts the light directly from God, he goes among people with it in order to kindle little lights again everywhere in the hearts which are to illuminate the darkness of night that lies spread over the earth. And that is why the light bearer will always be accompanied by shadows until one day the night will disappear and the brightness of the day will embrace all people, until the light will shine so brightly that the night will be transformed into a radiant day …. Then there will be no more shadows. But as long as there is still night in the hearts of men, everyone who wants to put a light into the night will also be pursued by shadows. As long as it is still dark in people’s hearts, as long as they walk in spiritual darkness, doubts will come from all sides if a bearer of truth steps amongst them and wants to enlighten their hearts. And doubts will be hastily nourished on the part of darkness because its endeavour is to extinguish all light. Lies and error will roll against the truth but dissolve into nothing before the bright shine of truth. For the light consumes every shadow. And every doubt which arises in the heart of man need only be submitted to the light from above and it will become bright in the heart, for a dark shadow cannot withstand this light. Where there is light there is shadow, and therefore don’t wonder why so many people walk in darkness when they shun the light and want to hide in the shadow …. Then they forfeit grace to themselves, they prefer the night and remain dark in spirit …. until one day they, too, will feel the benefit of light and strive towards it, for without light no soul will find the path to eternal life, which, however, will always be illuminated by bearers of light so that everyone can enter it and the shadows of night will leave it forever ….

Amen

Night – dusk – dawn – daylight ….

B.D. 5054 from January 31th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

He who does not know the night does not know how to appreciate the light either …. To ascend from the depths to the light always first requires a walk through darkness and a perception of it as torment. The soul seeks to detach itself from that which causes it agony, especially when a ray of light has touched it and awakened a feeling of well-being in it which it would like to increase, and therefore eagerly pursues the radiation of light, thus slowly flees the darkness. This change from night to light can take little but also a great deal of time, yet it is always an act of free will, thus it is left to the human being himself whether and when the soul allows this change to take place. For the human being is placed in the world with duties and tasks which his purpose of earthly life is to fulfil. Despite eager earthly activity he can keep his soul in darkness, for what gives the soul light are spiritual, not worldly goods. Thus a person can be continuously active but still deny the soul the only thing it needs …. the spiritual food which puts it into a state of light. Then it remains dark in it, then there is only the world for it as the human being sees it with his physical eyes. But if the human being is concerned about the well-being of his soul and provides for it according to its desire, if he thus gives spiritual food to the spiritual in him, then the soul will emerge from the state of darkness, the night will clear, a gentle twilight will give way to the dawn, and the sun of the spirit will then rise radiantly, illuminating everything and nourishing it with its vitality …. Then it has risen from deepest darkness to the light of day, and light means bliss. Man is certainly stimulated by his soul, but he does not always comply with this stimulation; then one says that his soul yields to what the body wants. As long as it is dark in it, the will can also be wrongly directed, because it lacks knowledge, the light, the knowledge of what is beneficial for the soul. Yet again and again it is influenced by the spirit within to follow the light after all, and then the human being need only provide the soul with the opportunity to receive rays of light… through reading or spiritual conversations, which are always a gift of grace from above and can kindle a light in the soul which is of good will. Light alone is bliss, darkness is torment …. and anyone who is still in torment is also still in darkness, and every illumination of the spirit eases the torment, for it signifies recognition of the truth, and truth makes free ….

Amen

God's blessing rests on every vineyard work ….

B.D. 5055 from February 3rd 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I want to guide you and you should only let yourselves be guided without resistance. I know the hearts of those who want to work for Me and am with them with My love and grace, assigning to each one the work he is able to do for Me and My kingdom. You, therefore, who want to serve Me, do not take a path of your own will but My will guides you and you carry it out. And therefore you will also only ever act, guided by My will, as soon as you ask Me for advice before every activity and request My blessing. Then you can want, think and act at your own discretion, and it will always correspond to My will because it is active in you. Your task is to inform your fellow human beings of the blessing of spiritual activity, to admonish them to tackle their own soul work and to draw their attention to the urgency of it because the end is near. Anyone who has penetrated spiritual truth himself should also impart it to his fellow human being so that the life of the soul is promoted, because the body is transient but the soul is imperishable. Everything that is done to inform fellow human beings is blessed by Me because it signifies help for the erring souls to emerge from the darkness of night into the light of day. Your work should always be to bring light into the spiritual darkness, and every activity in this sense corresponds to My will. I Myself have kindled a light in many places, it constantly shines for you from above in the form of My word which gives enlightenment to all who desire it. And this light shall be carried everywhere where darkness still exists. Thus I will also bless every activity which applies to the spreading of My word, which is offered to you from above as evidence of My greater than great love for you humans. The fact that I speak to you humans expresses the urgency of extraordinary help, and yet you humans must participate of your own free will if My help is also to become noticeable and bring salvation to the spiritually blind people …. I need you, My servants, to be active as mediators, to receive My gifts from heaven and distribute them to your fellow human beings to whom I cannot speak Myself because they are unable to hear My voice. You should offer the full cups of the water of life, which you are allowed to draw daily, to those who are thirsty so that they, too, will find refreshment on their journey through this earthly life …. And you should also call to those to refresh themselves at the spring of life who want to hurry past it carelessly, you should point them to this spring which is open for the salvation of people’s souls, accessible to everyone and promising refreshment. For people will all need much strength and fortification in the coming time and will only be able to receive it where the flow of grace from heaven pours out, where I Myself stand and call out to them: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you refreshment ….” I Myself send you out as messengers of light to step into the path of those who become weary and weak on their long journey through the valley of the earth and are in urgent need of strengthening. You shall illuminate the path for them and then they will also walk correctly …. on the path which leads to Me, from Whom they can now constantly receive their soul’s nourishment. You shall be active on behalf of your lord to gather the weary and hungry of the street, you shall invite them to supper at My table …. you shall bring the gospel to your fellow human beings in My name, you shall be restlessly active as My disciples of the last days to proclaim Me Myself to people so that I will not find any closed doors when I Myself come to take abode with them …. And therefore I bring you together so that you are active together in My name, and I Myself will always be with you with My grace and My blessing and guide all your steps …. And whatever you undertake in My name will be right and blessed by Me ….

Amen

"Where two or three are gathered in My name …."

B.D. 5056 from February 7th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them …. You draw My presence yourselves if you call upon Me in your heart, if you come together for My sake, if you make Me the subject of your conversations. I am in your midst and intervene in your conversations Myself, for I fill you with strength and guide your thoughts correctly. Therefore you can always be certain of My presence and also that I will dispel everything that would like to oppress you from the dark side, for where My light shines the dark spiritual element which wants to harm you will flee. Then you will be inaccessible to its evil influence and open to the light radiation from the spiritual kingdom. Then you will also hear My word as it emanates from Me and feel its strength and effect. I Myself dwell in your midst and distribute My gifts of grace, considering each one according to need, and your soul shall rejoice because I Myself give it nourishment …. then you all dine at the lord’s table …. I distribute and you receive, bread and wine …. My flesh and My blood …. you are My guests whom I have invited to the lord’s supper and who have willingly accepted My invitation and are therefore abundantly provided by Me with gifts from heaven, with My word, which is delicious refreshment for your soul. If I am present to you, you will never need to go hungry, for your father truly provides abundantly for His children who love Him and want to be obedient to Him. If you now gather in My name, then you press towards Me, your father, like children, and My heart rejoices in your love and comes to you in order to also announce My love for you. I fulfil every call of a loving heart, every desire for Me,

(7.2.1951) for I want to speak to you and I want you to listen to Me. I am always with you if you grant Me entrance into the circle where you live. Where My name falls, spoken with the mouth or also in the heart, there is the place where I like to stay, even though you are not able to see Me with bodily eyes. Every thought of yours attracts Me, thus you need not doubt My presence. And where people gather to converse about My kingdom there is also the opportunity to express Myself, for their hearts are completely unresisting towards My divine strength and this strength loosens their tongues …. they speak, driven by My spirit …. their thoughts will be rightly directed because they can never ever be in error where I Myself am working. My working is certain if a person is devoted to Me with love. My blessing will always rest on spiritual conversations, after all, they are proof to Me that My children desire to know the truth, that they love Me and that their thoughts apply to Me …. Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them …. You should take these words of Mine seriously, for they are a promise from Me which can give you comfort and strength at any time …. that you will never stand alone if you remember Me. And then you can confidently expect all kinds of help from Me, for if I am with you I also see and hear your suffering, I know about your heart’s every request and fulfil it according to your faith. I dwell in the midst of you …. The stronger this faith in My presence is, the stronger your faith in My help will be when you are in need. But I also want you to ask Me and thus prove your faith in My presence. And therefore I bless those who open themselves and listen for My answer …. who are willing to hear My voice if I want to speak to you. For I always speak through the mouth of your fellow human beings, be it in speech and counter-speech or also in direct address to the one who listens inwardly for My voice. I want to reveal Myself to you humans and am always willing to do so, but I do not always find people who are also willing to listen to Me. I will give them words of love and wisdom in abundance, words of advice and comfort, as I have promised, for if I am in your midst I will not keep Myself hidden, and since you are unable to see Me you shall hear Me. And blessed are those who believe and gather together in My name, for I will bless them and they will feel My blessing as strength which expresses itself in the desire for above, for Me and for eternal life ….

Amen
