God's never-ending effort of love ….

B.D. 5244 from October 28th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

You are all children of My love and care, I would like to convey My word to all of you so that you will hear it yourselves and recognize your father’s voice and feel touched by Me and moved to comply with everything I advise you. I would like all of you to be able to hear My voice within you, because then the danger of sinking would be over, because then you would already belong to Me through your will, which also allowed the hearing of My voice. Yet you are all still quite far from Me and My word can only be conveyed to you, and blessed are you if you then accept it. Always remember that when My word is brought to you I Myself will approach you in order to win you over for Me. I Myself am the word, and I come in the word to those I desire, to My creatures, whom I want to transform into My children through My word. As soon as you take notice of My word you will be touched by My emanation of love which can have an inconceivable effect on you if you allow this effect yourselves, if you accept My word within yourselves, if you move it in your heart and comply with My will which is announced to you through My word. And if you then demand to hear My word again and again, then I will have won you for eternity, then you will have recognized the father’s voice, and you will follow it and return to the father’s house, which has been waiting for you for a long time. My love and care is constantly meant for you, and therefore I will also win you for Myself one day, yet endless times can still pass for the creations whose resistance is still too great and who do not want to accept My expression of love. One day, however, they will give up their resistance and allow themselves to be seized by Me, overcome by My love which never stops looking for what was lost to it, for My love outlasts its resistance, My love is able to break the hardest resistance without forcing the creature to belong to Me …. My love pursues the lost one and warms it with its strength until it gives itself to Me without resistance and then never ever leaves Me until I have won it completely, until it has become My child, which it also remains until all eternity ….

Amen

Unrestricted grant of graces ….

B.D. 5245 from October 28th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I draw you to Me out of pure grace …. I use all means to win you and that is because I love you, because I want to remove the separation from you to Me, because I want to make you blissfully happy and therefore no separation may exist between us. Yet how often do I encounter resistance, how often is My love spurned, how often is My help rejected, how often does the world come between you and Me and then you find it difficult to find the path to Me, the path back into the father’s house. I cannot give you more than you want to accept, i.e. use, from Me. And therefore you yourselves determine the measure of grace offered to you. And you could receive unmeasured and easily and successfully accomplish your earthly task of life …. you could quickly and effortlessly cover the path of ascent and enter the kingdom of the beyond as blissful beings if only you made use of My blessings, if you trustingly revealed yourselves to Me and approached Me for help. For I am always willing to accept you and to enter into a covenant with you, because I want to make you My children and therefore long for your complete devotion to Me in order to make you fully happy with My fatherly love. What abundance of strength you could constantly receive from My hand and what treasure of gifts you could raise, what evidence of My love you could experience if only you would sincerely join Me and appeal for My fatherly care …. I consider My own in abundance, and every person who desires to be close to Me can count himself among My own. Yet you have free will and therefore cannot be forced by Me to accept the grace I want to bestow upon you. You must desire it yourselves and want to make use of it, then you will be showered with the signs of My love and grace, and the path upwards will be easily recognized and taken by all who love Me, who want to reach the father …. And I will accept My children and never ever let them go from Me, for My love will keep them and not let them go until all eternity.

Amen

Urgent reminder to vineyard work ….

B.D. 5246 from October 29th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

The work for the spiritual kingdom must be done with increased strength, for it is approaching the end. Again and again I speak these words to you to spur you on to diligent activity, and yet you all don’t know how close the end is. For the events are precipitating themselves and thus only a short period of time will be necessary where everything will take place which I have announced to you. You humans don’t have much time left, then the earth will open up and devour everything that lives there. And the people who have not heeded My word, the people who are without faith, who indulge in worldly pleasures and belong to My adversary, they will become victims of the forces of nature along with all living creatures …. Consider, My servants on earth, the tragedy of these souls which are now banished again for an infinitely long time into new creations on earth, then your eagerness to work will increase, then you will also know how necessary your help is for the salvation of souls which are not yet completely corrupted and therefore still capable of changing their attitude. You still have to do a lot of work and you must not tire, for they are all My living creations which I still want to win over for Myself, which I still want to reshape into My children with due regard for free will, otherwise it would truly be easy for Me to change them according to My will.

Your work therefore becomes more urgent every day, for only through you is it possible to influence your fellow human beings. And with My word you have a means at your disposal with which you can also work successfully …. You, My servants on earth, have a mission to fulfil which is of utmost importance. You can bear witness to Me and My working on you, and thus you can be the reason for them to reflect on what they have heard and to try to establish a connection with Me. Everything has to be done which can change people’s thinking, and since I cannot obviously influence people you have to do this work for Me and be active as My faithful servants in My vineyard. And you should not delay and postpone your work, for every day is significant, for with every day it gets closer to the end. Believe it or not, you will be surprised how soon the last signs will make themselves felt. Don’t let time be a lost time, reckon with the imminent end and then use every opportunity where you comply with My will, for people’s souls are in great distress and only loving help can save them from ruin, from spiritual death and the new banishment which will then become necessary. And I truly want to grant you the power of persuasion, I want to bless your words and also those to whom you convey them, so that your work will be successful, so that you will convey My gospel to the souls and thereby win them over for Me and My kingdom ….

Amen

"You must be taught by God …."

B.D. 5247 from October 31th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Let yourselves be taught by Me and accept knowledge which will one day make you happy if you want to be active in the spiritual kingdom but which will also make you happy on earth because you will always be in the light where your fellow human beings still walk in darkness. Through My instructions you gain knowledge about things which cannot be fathomed by intellect alone because the evidence for it will always be lacking; but if I instruct you about it you need no evidence because the direct instruction through Me is already evidence enough for the truth of what I teach you. At most you can doubt that I Myself, your God and father of eternity, am your teacher, yet if you want to establish contact with Me through faith in Me and love for Me I will always be with you, otherwise I would truly not be a loving God and father. If you believe in a God of love then you can also be fully assured of His love and consequently also of His protection against all unfair forces. But then you will also know how to evaluate the knowledge from above and not the slightest doubt will befall you as to the truthfulness of what you receive directly from Me. You are taught in fullest truth …. You have spiritual wealth with which you can work, and you should not let it lie fallow as long as you still live on earth ….

(10/31/1951) You are called by Me for your spiritual mission, for I can only choose people for it who allow themselves to be taught by Me, thus you also have to work with the spiritual knowledge you received from Me, for your knowledge is far more comprehensive than people can ever impart to you. And therefore you truly occupy a first place as teachers amongst My servants who proclaim My gospel on this earth, because you have the certainty to stand in truth, which is not offered by the spiritual knowledge received from people. You are the salt of the earth …. one grain of pure truth has a greater effect than an excess of knowledge which is no longer pure and has therefore also lost its strength. And therefore you are exceedingly necessary proclaimers of the gospel to Me, whom I truly would not instruct Myself if it were not for the fact that people so urgently needed to receive the truth. I know what they lack, I know which teachings they take offence at because they are presented to them in a distorted way; I know where their faith needs strengthening and want to help them to have the right and living faith. And therefore I give them pure truth, and this through the mouth of My servants on earth, whom I can instruct Myself. Can you be taught the truth more securely than if I Myself, as the eternal truth, impart it to you? And can you find a better teacher than your God and father of eternity, Who is true and unchanging? If I give you My word, you can drop all doubt, for I do not lead people astray. Nor do I give half truth or the truth in an incomprehensible form …. I give as is comprehensible to you and at the same time also the power of realization to the one who is taught by Me, so that he can pass on the received knowledge in an equally comprehensible way for the blessing of his fellow human beings who are to be helped in spiritual hardship …. And thus, whomever I give an office will also be able to administer his office, because I Myself ensure that My servants on earth are capable of the work I assign to them and because I Myself choose those who are suitable for it ….

Amen

Grace of inner enlightenment ….

B.D. 5248 from November 1st 1951, taken from Book No. 58

The grace of inner enlightenment will be granted to all those who intimately unite with Me and approach Me for pure truth. First of all, this requires the human being’s will and desire for truth, which, however, only very few can muster. If this will and desire for truth were more present amongst people then the spiritual development would truly be different, because the right realization would be widely spread through the agreement of the thoughts of all who are of enlightened spirit. The realization of truth would also result in strong faith and an effect of love would already be noticeable when the bond with Me is established, otherwise the desire for truth would not have awakened, for a person without love has no interest in truth. Thus one thing comes out of the other …. I Myself must be acknowledged for the first time, thus faith in Me must be present. This is also connected with the belief that I, as the most perfect and most powerful being, know everything and can do everything, thus I can also transfer knowledge to a person, and therefore in this belief he asks Me to enlighten his spirit. Admittedly, he first means his intellect that I should give him clarity, and to a certain extent I certainly also enlighten his thinking, yet it is always the spirit from Me which also influences his intellect, because without My spirit the intellect cannot impart what it does not possess itself. But if a person asks for something from his friend he will also comply with his friend’s will in order to make him inclined or also in order to express his love and gratitude to him …. Thus the human being will also endeavour to please Me and prove this through his way of life, he will give love himself because he feels love for Me which also prompts his request for enlightenment of spirit. It is not possible to think of one without the other, for this is also governed by a law which may not be overturned. Nevertheless, man still has a second possibility …. he can also receive the right knowledge from outside, through My messengers or through scriptures …. Admittedly, it still remains dead knowledge for him, which is only received by the intellect, until he fulfils these very conditions himself: Faith in Me, love and desire for truth …. But he can be mentally stimulated by this dead knowledge and make a cognitive effort to be active in love …. he can want to believe, even if only tentatively, and strive to do what is right …. and knowledge will gain life in him, it will make him happy, My spirit will start to work in him and he will find his way to Me, driven by his heart, not by his intellect. He has made use of the opportunity and has just come to the right wisdom again through faith in Me, through loving activity and desire for truth, otherwise he would not have allowed himself to be tied down by such problems which have now been properly solved. I let Myself be found by anyone who earnestly seeks Me …. Therefore only the will is necessary which has to turn towards Me, the being Which every human being well suspects but which not everyone wants to acknowledge …. Yet as long as he consciously turns away from Me I cannot influence him to change him compulsorily. He must come to Me of his own accord …. Then he will receive everything he desires, for I truly act like a father towards My living creations whom I want to transform into My children, and I will not deny anyone anything which could help him achieve this, for I love them and also want to see My love reciprocated ….

Amen

Right service to God ….

B.D. 5249 from November 4th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Worship alone is pleasing to Me, which expresses itself in true devotion to Me, which has its cause in love for Me. I see in the heart of My children the temple which they are to sanctify to Me and can only do so through a life pleasing to Me, a life of love …. If they now withdraw into silence that they want to converse with Me, that they now open their temple and grant Me entrance, then I can also instruct them and draw My spirit to them, which guides them in all their ways. And if they now let themselves be guided by Him and do everything He advises them to do, then they will also be unselfishly loving, and then they will keep a right service, they will lead a life of action and not just of form …. They hear Me constantly and not only in certain places and at certain times; they serve Me with their whole heart, for they feel urged to do so from within, they are driven by My spirit, they hear My word and become doers of My word …. Serving God means fulfilling My will as a faithful servant …. And My will is and always remains working in love, a serving in true humility and neighbourly love; serving God means being active for Him …. to do something in My stead, to help fellow human beings, to teach on My behalf, to give spiritual and earthly comfort and help where it is needed. Serving Me is a matter of free will which can never be demanded, from which you can already see that a compulsory service can never be My will and will also not be valued by Me like a voluntarily given sacrifice of time and strength to Me …. like the willingness to be active for Me in order to win souls for My kingdom which are in spiritual hardship as outsiders …. Anyone who shows Me this love serves Me in truth, and I will also bless his service. But anyone who only wants to prove his presence to Me, who only complies with the form or a humanly decreed commandment, will truly derive little blessing from it, for he is like a lazy servant who only shows himself industriously when the lord is near and then sinks into inactivity again because his will to serve is not serious. Anyone who wants to serve Me must accept My instruction and then always strive to comply with it …. He must love Me with all his heart and out of this love want to be active for Me …. Then I will bless his service for Me and My kingdom and he will not remain without success ….

Amen

Blessed vineyard work …. succession ….

B.D. 5250 from November 5th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

A tremendous amount of work still has to be done, and therefore I raise servants and handmaidens for Myself everywhere who shall and also are able to do this vineyard work because they have the will to serve Me. I take each individual person’s ability into account and their tasks are corresponding, the way they work is corresponding too, but it always consists of moving their fellow human beings to love and believe in Me. As soon as a person himself is in living contact with Me he can also influence his fellow human being and cause him to have the same relationship with Me, and that is what is particularly necessary, that people learn to believe in a God Who wants to be their father and is therefore very close to them, thus should not be sought in form. The dead formal faith is to be discarded and a living faith gained instead, and many of My servants and handmaidens can contribute to this by repeatedly emphasizing their own connection with Me and making Me known as a loving father who cares for His earthly children. But they should also show them the right path which leads to such a living faith, they should always preach love and thus point out to their fellow human beings that the God of love can also only be won through love and that love alone awakens faith to life …. They should be an example themselves, helpful in every spiritual and earthly adversity, just in thought and action and never give cause for rejection through a way of life which is not pleasing to Me. The work for Me and My kingdom can only be done by those who make an effort to follow Me, to live a life of love as I exemplified to them on earth. And only such people can be successful with their fellow human beings, for only speeches are of little use, yet living out what they preach will inspire discipleship. And therefore all of you who want to be of service to Me should make an effort to live a right life of love, and the influence on your surroundings will be unmistakable, then you will quietly yet successfully carry out vineyard work which I bless through My presence …. You will then successfully participate in the recovery of erring souls in the last days before the end ….

Amen

Word recipient first suitable to teach ….

B.D. 5251 from November 6th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

The gift I have bestowed upon you humans to be able to receive My word through My spirit is always the product of your own will to love, thus it belongs to each one of you if he puts this will to love into practice. Each one of you can make contact with Me Myself as soon as you practice love, since I am present in every work of love and truly do not make My presence dependent on the person’s nature, for only love determines the person’s relationship with Me. And therefore the man as well as the woman can shape themselves through love for My child. And likewise My spirit can work in every person if love makes it possible for him to hear Me within himself. Thus you have, so to speak, an ability which you first have to develop yourselves but which I have not withheld from anyone. This is why you humans all have the same task to educate yourselves on earth to become My children, and depending on your will to love and the development of your ability you are chosen for redemptive activity on earth. For you receive if you train yourselves to be the receiving vessel of My spirit, and every recipient shall also distribute again to those who are in need of the bread from heaven. But since only those who possess spiritual possessions themselves can give to their fellow human beings, and possession again depends on My spirit being able to work in a person, it is understandable that not many are able to do proper vineyard work for Me and My kingdom; it is understandable that the proclaimers of My word have not always been instructed by Me Myself and therefore cannot represent My word with the power of persuasion as someone who has received it from Me Myself can. But the power of persuasion also ensures success, which is why a word recipient, a person who has gained extensive knowledge through spiritual activity, is the first to be suitable to teach, to proclaim the gospel to his fellow human beings, for he has not only mechanically received the knowledge but at the same time accepted the power of realization with truth, which need not be the case with intellectually acquired knowledge which only becomes realization when its spirit instructs the person. My spirit blows where it wills …. It makes itself known without regard to person, class or gender …. he only requires a heart willing to love which opens itself to him in order to let the flow of grace flow into it. But then he also impels the human being to speak, and it is obvious that it is then not the human being himself who speaks but that the spirit expresses itself in him …. Consequently, he is also chosen to spread the gospel, and he should always give in to the inner urge and speak without inhibition wherever the opportunity presents itself. In the last days the spiritual hardship is so great that I truly do not have enough labourers for My vineyard and therefore keep recruiting and calling for the service of suffering humanity. And I will bless everyone who follows My call, I will place everyone in the place where his work is successful …. I will instruct him Myself and put the words into his mouth if only a person approaches him who desires to hear them. Then he will desire My word, and truly, I will send it to everyone who desires it, and through you, My servants on earth, he will likewise be taught by God and come to believe, because My word is blessed with My strength ….

Amen

God's infinite love ….

B.D. 5252 from November 9th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I am the father of you all, My love belongs to you all, I want you all to be blessed, I want to make you My children who are united with Me for all eternity …. My love for you is exceedingly great but it finds little reciprocation. My living creations are blinded in spirit as a result of their will which was once directed against Me, as a result of sin which deprived them of all knowledge. Nevertheless, My infinite love still belongs to them and will never cease until I have won My creations over again as My children.

This love moves Me again and again to lure and call My sheep like a good shepherd; love moves Me to constantly stretch out My rescuing hand where there is a danger of them falling away; I use all means which are suitable to guide the lost to Me again, and I leave nothing untried which could only promise a small success. Yet it is laborious work as long as the other locket …. as long as the prince of the world beguiles people and they willingly follow him ….

My curl is love, but his aim is ruin …. Yet force cannot be used from any side, the human being cannot be forced from any side but his will alone determines his path upwards or downwards. As long as the human being does not recognize My love My enticing and calling is in vain, but he will only recognize Me and My love if he himself is capable and willing to love. Then his heart will push towards Me of its own accord, then it will sense where it finds a response to his love, then it will already have become Mine for eternity ….

So it is love that is to be ignited if the being wants to become blissful. Love is everything …. it alone changes My creature’s relationship with Me, it alone turns the creature into My child, love indissolubly binds us together and restores the original relationship …. But people lack love …. I tirelessly court their love and encounter hardened hearts which remain unimpressed by My courtship. And I take pity on this humanity, for it does not know what a wretched state it is in without love …. It does not know what bliss it deprives itself of because it is without love. I cannot be angry because deepest darkness obscures its spirit, and people grope along in this darkness, suspended in the danger of falling every moment. Again and again a saving hand will reach out to them, but for the most part they do not see this hand because they do not want to see, because their eyes are directed into the distance where will-o’-the-wisps flash to deceive them ….

I cannot be angry and yet I must let them go their way until they themselves realize that they have lost their way and call for help …. I cannot provide them with light against their will which would not benefit them but only make them unfree …. And therefore much adversity and misery will still pass over the earth, yet My love will never cease for My living creations, whom I still want to win through this adversity …. For the adversity shall kindle love in them, love for their fellow human beings who are in the same adversity, and this love will then also recognize Me and learn to love Me …. And then all adversity will be remedied …. then My love was victorious …. then My love has won you and you will be eternally blissful ….

Amen

Office of the word recipient …. graces and duties ….

B.D. 5253 from November 12th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

You have been given a beautiful task to be mediators between Me and people. This mediation requires the fulfilment of conditions, but it also imposes duties. You are required to engage in spiritual work which is indispensably necessary for the redemption of the spiritual. I can only demand such work where the ability to do it exists, which is why I choose My co-workers from amongst people who are certainly all called to it but not all of whom meet the demands made on such work. I choose for Myself those whom I deem suitable for it ….

A mediatorial office is also connected with a certain distribution of grace because otherwise a person’s strength would not be sufficient to be able to administer it, for this means a mediation of something divine to people who suffer a lack of it. But if a person is to give something divine to his fellow human beings then he must first receive it himself and then pass it on, i.e. receive as much as an unusual grace which he does not deserve in itself because his state of maturity has not reached the degree to be provided with divine emanation of grace. Yet people’s spiritual need requires unusual help, that is, a supply of spiritual strength which can only reach them by way of mediation. Therefore, only those people are suitable as mediators who completely turn their will towards Me, who have established the relationship of a child with Me and humbly appeal to Me for an influx of grace in order to be able to help their fellow human beings whose spiritual hardship they recognize and whom they would like to help. I gladly take these people into My service and bless their love for Me and their fellow human beings and shower them with blessings, because I truly know that they also make good use of them. But I look into the hearts of those who want to serve Me and consider each one according to the state of his heart. And thus I judge according to the degree of unselfish neighbourly love, for this determines the measure of grace I can now bestow. This is the first condition to serve Me as a mediator, that pure unselfish neighbourly love fills him, because only this establishes the bond between him and Me and makes him suitable to be a mediator. Furthermore, he must be filled with the desire to experience what is good, right and true about Me and to pass this very good, right and true on in the knowledge that his fellow human beings lack it. And he must ask Me from the bottom of his heart and in deepest humility that I help all people through him. Then I will distribute My gifts of grace unmeasured and leave no request unfulfilled, for it is My servant’s spiritual hardship which prompts him to make himself available to Me and his fellow human beings. And thus he is suitable as a co-worker in the great act of salvation and is accepted by Me.

(12.11.1951) But now he also has duties …. to work with the treasure of grace which he now constantly receives from Me. For he is a mediator …. he shall establish the connection between Me and people, he shall also distribute the gifts which are intended for everyone, he shall step in where My direct activity is not yet possible. I want to give all people what they need, yet for the most part they make it impossible for Me, they cannot be provided for in a supernatural way, and therefore I avail Myself of willing people who are now active on My behalf, who mediate between Me and people.

The work of passing on My treasure of grace is of utmost importance and must be urgently demanded by Me when servants offer themselves to Me for work in My vineyard. The transmission of My word to earth would be completely useless if it were only to serve one person, even though it is also intended to help him achieve beatitude. But the activity of love, which is demanded by My word, consists of giving, of distributing what the other lacks.

But I let My word shine down to earth because the whole of humanity suffers from a lack of it and because it has to be conveyed to them in a way which does not force them to believe. This can only happen through people who are so in contact with Me that they hear My word but who are also in contact with their fellow human beings in order to pass it on again. Therefore, anyone who receives My word as a mediator has a great work to do …. to be the proclaimer of My word, to speak whenever the opportunity presents itself, to direct fellow human beings’ thoughts towards Me and to always mention My love and My activity, in short …. to carry My gospel out into the world ….

Such a mediatorial office should not be felt as a burden, it should be administered with joy and devotion and be the epitome of serving love. It is the greatest work of love that a human being can do, to save the soul of a fellow human being from darkness. It is the greatest work of mercy to help a sick soul to recovery, and it is an exceedingly pleasing work of filial love to Me when My mission is fulfilled in humility and obedience. What I give is always intended for all My creatures if they do not oppose it, if they do not reject My gift of grace. Therefore you, My messengers of love and light, My labourers in My vineyard, should spare no effort when it comes to spreading My teaching of love. You should eagerly proclaim the gospel to your fellow human beings, you should inform them of the knowledge which also makes you happy yourselves, and you should testify to My love and might; you should present Me to people as a God of love, as a father Who longs for His children and imparts His word to them so that they will become blessed …. You shall proclaim Me and My love, My wisdom and might …. and then you shall rightly administer the office for which I have chosen you ….

Amen

Submitting the will under God's will ….

B.D. 5254 from November 13th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Anyone who voluntarily places himself in the care of My fatherly love can feel relieved of all worries, for I now take over them both earthly as well as spiritually. As soon as he acknowledges Me as father his will is also turned towards Me and I have won him. But the human being must still strive to attain perfection on earth, and I will help him in every way. For by surrendering his will to Me he has also granted Me the right to influence him, which I cannot do without entering into My will, i.e. I Myself do not go against My law of eternity, according to which every being must have its free will in order to become perfect. But the test of earthly life has already been passed, so to speak, with the voluntary subordination of his will to Mine, and then My working on this person is uninterrupted physical and spiritual care, then the human being can be fully trusting, then everything will be for his best, whatever he is granted. Faith in My help, the firm confidence to enjoy the father’s care as a child, will let him cover his earthly path in peace and carefreeness, and he will also have the certainty to reach his aim spiritually, because I Myself lead My child by the hand and draw it to Me full of love. Everyone reaches his aim who believes in Me, thus acknowledges Me and submits himself to Me full of love …. who gives up his former resistance of will and humbly and obediently submits to Me …. Then he is like a fruit which I can harvest and which I still leave on the tree of life until it has ripened in order to then enjoy its deliciousness, which has given itself to Me that My love may consume it ….

Amen

Promise of Jesus: eternal life ….

B.D. 5255 from November 16th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

You shall live for ever and ever …. But life can only be promised to you by Him Who is lord over life and death, Who Himself is life from eternity and Who has conquered death …. Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world, Who came forth from the strength of the most high as an independent being, equipped with strength in full measure, Whose love moved Him to bare His strength and, as a weak helpless human being on earth, Who was subject to the law of death, to fight against death and to defeat it in order to liberate all people held captive by satan from his bondage. For death had been brought into the world by satan. Death is a powerless dark state that is the consequence of the former sin against God …. Light and strength mean life, powerlessness and darkness, on the other hand, condemn the being to stagnation in inactivity. People on earth would have to expect this rigid state after their physical life, they would sink hopelessly into darkness and would not be able to free themselves from it …. they would face eternal death unless a saviour approached them Who was stronger than death, Who was able to defeat it and give people the life again which they had possessed in the beginning as spiritual beings and which they had lost through the sin of their former rebellion against God …. (16.11.1951) Life had been lost to them, i.e. everything that enabled them to be happily active, for life is incessant activity according to wise law; life is the use of divine strength according to divine principle and therefore a state of unlimited bliss.

Jesus Christ promises this life to all people, but under certain conditions. He can certainly give life, but people must also desire it and do everything to make themselves worthy of true life, of life in the spiritual kingdom. They must want out of the state of death, they must take possession of the strength which secures eternal life for them, they must make contact with the source of strength, they must fight the death of their souls with Jesus Christ and defeat it, which is only possible with Jesus Christ. For it is the death of the soul they must fear, because the death of the body is unimportant, but the soul, the essence in the human being, does not perish, only in a state of complete lack of strength and light, i.e. spiritual death, it can become a slave to immeasurable, endless torment ….

But you shall live …. What comforting words these are for you humans …. Jesus Christ does not want you to meet death, He wants you to live, and He has promised you this life …. because He alone can give it to you, Who has overcome death. But your will is free …. Don’t forget that you can achieve everything, that there is nothing impossible, that Jesus Christ has also shown you all ways and means, but that you must want it yourselves, because what is to make you blissfully happy cannot be given to you against your will. Eternal life is the most beautiful promise He could give you, that all fear of death will disappear, that an unspeakably blissful future lies ahead of you which will last forever if you want it yourselves and fulfil the conditions Jesus Christ attached to His promise …. that you believe in Him …. For then you will comply with all His words, you will fulfil His commandments, you will live according to His divine teaching of love and accumulate divine strength within yourselves, love will awaken you to life even if the body’s strength weakens and your shell approaches bodily death. The soul will then release itself, it will break through the barrier of death with all its strength, it will free itself from the bonds of the one who wanted to give you death, it will become blissfully aware of its strength and now be able to be constantly active, the spiritual kingdom will receive it where there is only life, where all beingness is active in God’s will, where new life is constantly generated, where there is eternally no more death …. where everything is blissfully happy in and with Jesus Christ ….

Amen

Seemingly loveless aids of God ….

B.D. 5256 from November 18th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I will save you from the distress of the soul …. The body’s adversity will pass, it will not last forever, but the soul’s adversity will not end with death but you will take it with you into the spiritual kingdom, and there you will only become truly aware of it, for on earth you can numb it with worldly pleasures and joys. And this is precisely the misfortune that you don’t use the time on earth to help the soul, that you don’t remember its state after the death of the body, when it vegetates in agony and darkness and suffers unspeakably. I want to help it out of this adversity …. However, My help will always have a painful effect on the body, your earthly life will be affected by My help and not to your joy. I have to inflict severe hardship and suffering on you humans, I have to disturb your earthly well-being, I have to painfully intervene in your customary life in order to bring you to your senses, in order to wake you up from a state of deepest sleep where you leave the soul without help. And so I inflict wounds upon wounds …. And yet, it is My fatherly love which has to resort to these means in order to save you, My children, from eternal ruin. But whether you benefit from it is up to you …. All My means can also remain unsuccessful and then you will still only see and demand the world.

(18.11.1951) Then you will have pronounced your own judgment, then you will voluntarily choose a fate which is dreadfully painful and lasts for an infinitely long time. I know this fate of yours and therefore I sometimes intervene so harshly in your earthly life that you no longer want to recognize Me as a God of love, that you therefore often reject Me completely or rebel against Me and thereby hand yourselves over to My adversary.

I only want your bliss, I have no other aim than to snatch you from spiritual death, to give your soul a glimmer of light so that it can find its way when it enters the spiritual kingdom and can no longer work on earth. The soul continues to exist after the death of the body, but only when it can be active in the spiritual kingdom does it enjoy its life. And I want to help it achieve this and constantly encounter resistance on the part of the human being who only pays attention to and loves everything external but does not think of his soul. You only pay attention to the shell, but you forget the core, and it alone is the true, the imperishable, for whose sake you live on earth. The hardship and suffering on earth will increase the closer the end is, and blessed is the person who lets it affect him, who recognizes the transience of earthly things and strives to acquire imperishable goods. Only a few will come to realize through adversity, and yet, for the sake of these few I often allow a large number of people to lose their lives, for their bodies will not lose anything, but the souls will still have the opportunity to ascend in the kingdom of the beyond if they want to. But those I have won will thank Me eternally and also recognize the most severe suffering as a means of My love, without which they would be lost for eternity. My plan of salvation has been planned from eternity, and thus I also foresaw the completely deprived state at the end of this redemption period. And I saw My adversary’s dominion over people’s souls, but I also saw the few who can still be won. Every period of redemption comes to an end with violent interventions on My part in order to wrest from the adversary what is not entirely under his control.

You humans who believe in Me, be alert in spirit in the last time before the end …. recognize where My admittedly harsh means of help are involved and where My adversary has his hand in the game. Do not doubt My love but recognize it in every event, in every earthly adversity, in every natural disaster …. It always concerns souls which My wisdom recognizes as still capable of change and to whom help shall be brought in their spiritual adversity …. One day you will also be able to measure My love when you see the dreadful fate of those who resisted Me and yet cannot be forced to give up their resistance. But as long as this earth still exists My love is constantly endeavouring to save souls from the endless time of darkness which will follow the end of this earth for My adversary and his followers who are incorrigible ….

Amen

Not inclination but love determines the will ….

B.D. 5257 from November 19th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

It is left up to all of you in which direction you turn your will, even though you are indeed advised by My Word what end result you will achieve by any direction of will. Yet My Word does not force you either, since you can also accept or reject it again depending on your mentality and your love. For love determines your will …. You will always love whatever it is you strive for, irrespective of whether it is good or bad; your desire is directed towards it, and this is how your will is …. good or bad. You will always feel love for what you desire, but whether this love is rightly or wrongly directed is determined by your spiritual development. Now you can certainly raise the objection that love has been placed into the human being, that even love for evil arises from the heart and that the human being is thus a victim of dormant cravings within himself. And up to a point this objection is justified …. that all instincts and cravings which during the individual preliminary stages in the law of compulsion had not yet been overcome are latent in the human being, that the human being therefore brings them into his earthly life in order to then defeat and completely discard them. These characteristics are thus present in the human being and therefore also arouse the cravings. They want fulfilment and often become so powerful in a person that they completely control him. The fight against such cravings is often difficult, but this is why I endowed the human being with intellect, so that he can think about his feelings in order to take appropriate action against them.

It is wrong to say that the human being must act in accordance with his inclination …. admittedly, if he had been created without intellect and felt instinctively impelled. But since he is offered ample opportunity in earthly life to acquire knowledge, since he has a guiding principle in My commandments of love, since he has a still, small voice within himself which admonishes and warns him, which always draws his attention to My will, and since he is now able to think about everything, it is solely up to his will to wage battle against himself when necessary, when his cravings resist what he, according to his inner realisation, should do …. The fact that he is unable to do so is not applicable, for a sincere will also guarantees him a gift of strength, nevertheless, a weak will is unsuccessful …. And only one thing is necessary again in order to strengthen a weak will …. faith in Jesus Christ …. It is true that especially people who are still badly afflicted by characteristics from their preliminary stages don’t believe in Jesus Christ, however, by merely rationally thinking about it they already express their will to ascertain the truth, and they will be helped to find a correct solution …. However, where the question about Jesus Christ is unhesitatingly dismissed, where no effort is made to find an answer, that is where the will is obviously turned downwards, and that is where the human being indeed falls prey to the forces from below, yet it is his own will and not the fault of his inclination. For the human being can direct his will in both directions or one could not speak of free will. And every person can and should sooner or later question his task in earthly life …. This is why he was given his intellect ….

Harmony on the new earth ….

B.D. 5258 from November 22nd 1951, taken from Book No. 58

The transient will cease to be, but the spiritual will leave the form that has kept it safe until now. And then the new embodiment of the spiritual takes place again in another form, depending on the state of maturity the spiritual has reached. The course of development of the spiritual in the preliminary stages continues, so that this spiritual is not particularly affected by the destruction or dissolution of earth, whereas everything that had reached the stage as a human being and does not belong to the raptured no longer progresses upwards in its development but falls deeply down …. It begins its upward development anew because it has totally failed in the end …. Therefore the new creation will be an exceedingly peaceful world, equally pleasing to human beings and animals, which is in fullest harmony with the divine principle, and every work of creation will praise and glorify God in its beauty and expediency, which will be felt exceedingly beneficially by human beings. There is, so to speak, nothing base, nothing that does not delight the human eye, everything is only joy-inducing, everything is purposeful and created for people’s comfort. But hard matter, in which the God-rebellious is banished, cannot yet influence people unfavourably because it is still in a state of new banishment, completely powerless and incapable of any activity. That is why it is now also a time of peace, because nothing is in opposition to each other, because everything moves in divine order again, because the still bound spiritual feels that it is progressing upwards, and because people are full of divine spirit, thus they know about everything, and this knowledge makes them happy and makes them the most peaceful inhabitants of the new earth. For they are in contact with God and their nature is therefore so permeated by love that they can only ever be good, which is also felt by the spiritual beings still below them, the animal and plant world, and the whole sphere of love is suitable for rapid ascent development.

As dreadfully as the earth will end it will begin again peacefully and harmoniously, and the earth’s inhabitants will be granted a blissful fate as a reward for their loyalty to God and their steadfastness in faith. And God Himself will dwell like a father in the midst of His children, as He has promised ….

Amen

God requires many labourers in the time before the end ….

B.D. 5259 from November 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I will take all of you who are willing into My service, for I require many co-workers during the last days before the end who shall do redeeming work. If you declare your willingness to Me then your destiny will also proceed according to your will, that is, you will always have the opportunity to work for Me and My kingdom according to My will. You will feel My instruction in your heart and, once you have offered your service to Me, will sensitively represent Me to your fellow human beings, you will feel inwardly impelled to speak on behalf of Me and My name and proclaim My teaching to all those who cross your path, with whom you will be able to have spiritual discussions and who require your help, or I would not send them on your way. The work for Me and My kingdom need not be externally recognisable as missionary work, it can be carried out in everyday life, unobtrusively and yet beneficially, for precisely those people shall be won over who have no religious connections whatsoever, who are not affiliated to any church organisations or still belong to them as a mere formality. My Gospel shall especially be made accessible to these people, and this is far more effective during an exchange of ideas where everyone can express their own point of view.

Once people are stimulated to think about it success is more likely to be expected, this is why My representatives, My labourers on earth who want to serve Me, must be convinced of Me and My teaching themselves, so that they will also be able to speak with conviction to their fellow human beings. Anyone who has accepted the truth himself is also permeated by it, and he is a suitable co-worker in the last days before the end, for he will always and forever feel urged to offer the truth where it is missing. This is why you won’t need any particular instructions from Me, because I will tell you through your heart what you ought to do and this heartfelt expression will be felt as your own will, as an inner urge …. Therefore act according to your inner impulse once you have informed Me that you want to work for Me and My kingdom. I accept all of you and give you My blessing for this work, because the immense spiritual hardship necessitates much help and this has to be brought through a human mouth if fellow human beings are to keep their free will but nevertheless be shown a way which leads out of the great hardship. I bless every good will which applies to your fellow human beings’ souls and help you to accomplish it ….

Amen

Distributing and passing on the gift of grace – beyond ….

B.D. 5260 from November 25th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

A full measure of My grace will be granted to you if I Myself speak to you and you have the evidence of it in your hands. You, My children, need much grace and strength because you live in the midst of an environment where the gifts of grace cannot find access, and because you should also give strength of grace to your fellow human beings so that they are not unable to help themselves upwards. I provide you abundantly with grace and strength, always in view of the fact that you should hand it out because you are surrounded by immense hardship and poverty and I can only alleviate this hardship through you. Therefore, anyone who is richly blessed by Me also has the duty to pass on what he receives ….

This is to explain the mission which you, My children on earth, have taken on through your willingness to help. The need is truly great, on earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond among the souls which have departed from earth immaturely …. To help all those who suffer spiritual hardship is the greatest work of love you humans can accomplish for your neighbour. If you now have a visible sign of My allocation of grace from above in your hands, then you will also see from it that the rich treasure of grace has a most extensive purpose, that you should work with it yourselves and that I therefore give so much because you should distribute it again, and that therefore every activity pleases Me which applies to the distribution of that which My love supplies to you in the richest measure. I constantly want to give to all people on earth and to the souls in the spiritual kingdom, yet only open hearts can receive. And you, My servants on earth, should open the hearts of your fellow human beings, you should prepare them so that they willingly accept what I now offer them through you.

You shall be mediators between Me and them …. Every, even the slightest willingness to help is blessed by Me …. And consider that I Myself have shaped your earthly fate according to this will to help, that therefore, if you want to serve Me and help your fellow human beings or the souls in the beyond, everything will now also approach you such that you can help. Consider that I Myself will create opportunities for you where you can successfully work for Me and My kingdom. I know people’s hearts, I also know the state of the souls in the kingdom of the beyond, I know when the time has come for their resistance to weaken. I know to what extent your fellow human beings are still willing to accept My teaching of love, how much faith they still have in Me, I know what they all lack …. and when you speak to them I speak through you Myself and choose the words which are most likely to find their way into their hearts …. You are only My instruments which I have to use in order not to make people unfree; but you can also be the mediators between the souls in the beyond and Me …. if you interpose yourselves with your love and create the connection between Me and them …. You can help everywhere where you are only driven by love, where spiritual need takes pity on you, for I provide you so abundantly with what they all need, so that you only need to hand it out in order to provide everyone abundantly with the strength which helps them to ascend, for they are all powerless who surround you because they feel your strength and want to participate in it. Help wherever you can, and know that the spiritual hardship is considerably greater than the earthly hardship which will end one day, whereas the spiritual hardship will be taken over into the kingdom of the beyond. Therefore also remember those who are already on the other side, who only have you and your intercession, if they are to accomplish the first transformation of their being …. Remember them and also hand out to them what you so richly receive, and know that you can always be certain of My blessing if only you lovingly endeavour to alleviate spiritual hardship ….

Amen

Forgiveness of sins ….

B.D. 5261 from November 27th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

The obvious direction of will towards Me also proves to Me the change in a person’s heart, it proves to Me that the person desires Me, that he has left the previous path, that he has completely given up his resistance and acknowledges Me as lord and father. Thus the aim has actually been reached, the human being has separated himself from My adversary, whom he had followed for eternities, and he has crossed over into My camp, he has exchanged the two spheres, he seeks the light and flees the darkness. But I always recognize a change of will in a person’s heart, and then the process of imparting strength will also begin so that the will turned towards Me will be strengthened and the person will steadfastly pursue his aim of being united with Me …. A change of will infallibly also results in a change of essence, the human being’s nature aligns itself with My fundamental nature, which he strives for.

And thus the will towards Me is inevitably connected with the turning away from and abhorrence of sin, of injustice, of unkindness, otherwise the will is not yet turned towards Me. A person cannot sin if he strives for Me with all his heart, just as, conversely, a sinner does not yet desire to unite with Me …. But a sinner can be made aware of his bad state through admonitions and advice and be made to think about it, then he can recognize his state as sinful and want to be rid of it. He is then burdened by the guilt of sin as such and seeks to become free from this burden. If the redeemer Jesus Christ is presented to him as the redeemer of his guilt, he will certainly present the guilt to Him and ask Him for forgiveness for the sake of His blood …. Then guilt has driven him to Jesus Christ, not love for Me …. Every sinner finds forgiveness through Jesus Christ, through his faith in the work of redemption and use of His treasure of grace acquired on the cross …. But not only sin should drive to Him, but also love …. The human being should first think of Me and then of himself, then he will find the highest reciprocal love with Me, then he will want to be rid of his sins not because of his burden but because it is an obstacle to his union with Me and because My love is more important to him than the redemption of his guilt.

You are all burdened by guilt otherwise you don’t live on earth, for your human shell alone is already spiritual substance which has become guilty; the soul can certainly already be more perfect but it is still composed from below, i.e. it consists of spiritual substances which have passed through all earthly creations and which shall pass their last test of will on earth. Accordingly, in earthly life it must free itself from its former guilt precisely through the transformation of its nature, through conscious striving towards Me. And since only what it does of its own free will is valued, the will turned towards Me is therefore also the admission of its former guilt …. For the soul gives up its resistance against Me, thus it acknowledges Me as creator and father from eternity …. No-one can force it to make this decision of will, because only that which arises from the innermost heart is valued. If the soul bows before Me in deepest humility, then love is already kindled in the heart, then it recognizes its previous resistance as sin …. It surrenders itself to Me in humility and thus has also confessed its sin in its heart before its father, Whom the soul loves. Therefore it desires Him and does everything in obedience and love for Me what I request …. I, Who look into the heart, know exactly the degree of love and the direction of a person’s will, and accordingly My love and My grace goes towards him, for I no longer leave what has once found its way to Me of its own will and professed Me. The fallen one has ascended, it no longer wants to remain in sin, in resistance from Me, which has been the result of unkindness. It will also detest everything that could only appear as the slightest resistance against Me. It can certainly still fall but then only out of weakness, and such a fall will also be immediately followed by remorse, which is painful and tormenting for the person who already belongs to Me, and My love is always willing to forgive where I recognize love for Me …. For the soul pronounces its own judgment harshly and justly, and its request for forgiveness is a cry of pain upwards which I truly will not let go unheard ….

Amen

Forgiveness of sins ….

B.D. 5262 from November 29th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Hear the voice of the spirit which thus speaks to you: No sin is so great that it cannot be redeemed through My love. If you have sinned I will never withdraw My love, yet the forgiveness of sin depends on yourselves …. You can have recognized it as such and be sincerely grieved that you have transgressed against Me. You must have recognized sin as sin and then consciously appeal for My forgiveness. But you will only recognize your guilt if you acknowledge Me as the eternal love Which is exceedingly kind to you and Which you have therefore offended through wrongdoing. For sin is an offence against love, sin is an offence against the eternal order which always has My love as its reason …. Hence you must have acted unkindly, you must have opposed good with something evil, thus you must have violated the commandment of love towards Me and your neighbour, and this in full realization that it is wrong. Only then can a true, sincere remorse awaken in you, only then will the guilt weigh you down and only then will you detest sin and firmly resolve not to commit it again …. And if you now come before Me with this guilt of sin in humility and repentance and ask Me for forgiveness, your sins will also be forgiven, for then you will come to Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world; you will come to the one Whom you can imagine, Who took on form for you humans so that you can personally come to Him, Who bore all your sin, Who died for you. He is the one to Whom you should entrust your sin, He is the one Who approached you as a human being, Who united with Me on earth and thus sheltered Me in all fullness within Himself while He still lived on earth. He and I are one, only that I have become imaginable to you through Him, whereas otherwise you would not be able to imagine Me.

You can tell the divine redeemer Jesus Christ everything that distresses you, because He was like you, a human being on this earth and has understanding for all human faults and weaknesses, but because He also developed love in Himself to the highest degree and by virtue of this love also redeems every guilt of sin if it is brought to Him, if the human being confesses it before Him and implores His forgiveness. Yet only the voice of the heart can voice this request for forgiveness, and it alone is listened to by Me …. As the human heart feels, so do I feel, and so does My love become active, granting or also concealing itself, depending on the call which the heart sends up to Me …. If love calls for love, it will be fulfilled, but where the heart is silent, confessing with the mouth is of no use, for love alone relieves and redeems …. love alone sets free from all guilt ….

Amen

Continuation of the work of redemption ….

B.D. 5263 from December 1st 1951, taken from Book No. 58

My work of redemption shall be continued by you who want to be My disciples in the last days on this earth. You shall be active in the same way as I was when I lived on earth, because the spiritual adversity had become so great that help had to come from heaven. But the help from above can only be provided by people again, it has to appear human and yet it is from above …. I will come to earth Myself again, yet in spirit, in the word, which you may hear because the will to love impels you to help your fellow human beings. It is heavenly help, it originates from Me Myself and yet it reaches people’s ears like a purely earthly address and is therefore not compelling to believe, yet it is extremely effective for those who do not resist Me and My strength of love. You shall fulfil this task of conveying My word to fellow human beings, you shall proclaim the gospel in My stead, you shall help them to release themselves from spiritual bondage and work on earth in the same sense as I did, for only the imparting of the teaching of love, which I also only preached to people, can help them, although their own will must first become active in order to do what My teaching of love demands. You can only preach and lead by good example …. This is your sole task which you should fulfil faithfully and conscientiously, and thus you can always consider yourselves My co-workers, My representatives on earth, who only continue what I once started …. who will always find My support because they are active on My behalf and a lord will never leave His servants without assistance. Your fellow human beings need your help as long as they don’t contact Me directly and receive from Me what you shall now give them …. My word, which can save them from all adversity. They are still in satan’s clutches and yet shall be released from them. I want to redeem them but this cannot happen by force. And therefore you should support Me in this work of redemption, you have to speak as human beings to human beings, you have to explain to them why they are bound and what the bondage consists of, you have to instruct them how they can free themselves and set a good example for them so that they will willingly follow you and thus live out My divine teaching of love, so that with My help they will now redeem themselves from satan’s power through you …. Your mission is important, so important that I keep recruiting labourers for My vineyard, that everyone is welcome to Me who wants to take part in the work of redemption, for only a short time is still at your disposal, My disciples of the last days; when this time is over it will be too late for all those who do not listen to you, who disregard your admonitions and warnings and resist Me, which is why their blindness cannot be taken away from them and they completely devote themselves to My adversary ….

A period of redemption is coming to an end and many people will suffer bodily and spiritual death, they will remain unredeemed and will have to languish in satan’s fetters for eternal times again despite My servants’ diligent work on earth, for they cannot be redeemed against their will.

Amen

Transformation of nature …. Deification ….

B.D. 5264 from December 2nd 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I cannot shape you according to My will, instead, you must accomplish the work of transforming your nature yourself, for the purpose and goal of My whole plan of creation rests upon the fact that My created works will shape themselves into My children, into divine beings of their own free will …. Each one of My living creations has so much strength that attaining the goal is certainly possible, yet the strength can also remain unused and not even My omnipotence can change that if I don’t want to infringe against My law of eternal order Myself and enslave their will. You can, if you so want, shape yourselves into gods, into beings like Me, who, having completely merged with Me, are full of strength and yet think, want and act as blissful individual beings. You are able to do so, however, whether you want to do so must be your own choice …. Your intentions, thoughts and actions are entirely free in the state of imperfection but they can develop in any direction. Although the fact that you are entirely free can also result in your renewed fall into the abyss, it can nevertheless also procure you unlimited beatitudes which a bound will could never attain. You can fall abysmally low and lift yourselves to inconceivable heights, but at all times you are offered the support to hold on to or to make your ascent easier …. I Myself Am always willing to be this support for you, I Am always willing to stop you when you are in danger of falling, and I Am always willing to pull you up when you appeal for My help. You are never defencelessly left at the mercy of danger, you are never so weak that you cannot appeal for help …. but this, in turn, requires your will again, and you must believe in Me if you want to request My help. However, this belief in Me is already the first change of your will …. Hence it also signifies assured help …. It is this faith I want to awaken in the beings which, embodied as human beings, don’t use their will correctly, which constantly strive downwards and are in grave danger of falling into the abyss. A tiny spark of faith in a Power can stop their fall, and I try to make Myself known to people so that they will gain this faith. There is so much evidence of intervention by My power and love in every individual person’s life, that every individual could easily win this faith by merely paying attention to these small proofs. Yet the human being’s thinking is taking wrong paths and this, again, because he lives without love …. for he can only believe if his thinking is right, and he can only think right if his heart is willing to love …. Every person is indeed able to love, except that he himself is the goal of his love and this love of self has to be changed into love for one’s neighbour first before the word ‘love’ is appropriate, which results in faith. The human being constantly lives in an environment where he can practise neighbourly love, yet he will never be forced to do so; even so, everything depends on whether he kindles love within himself and fans it into a bright flame …. Everything depends on it, realisation, faith, correct use of his will and eternal bliss …. However, he cannot be forced to love, he can only ever be admonished and encouraged; love must ignite itself in him and thereby effectively also accomplish his transformation of nature, as this is the purpose and goal of his earthly existence as well as the completion of My eternal plan of Salvation, which intends to deify what came forth from My hand as work of creation but shall attain the highest bliss which I cannot give but must be acquired by the being itself.

Amen

Source of living water ….

B.D. 5265 from December 4th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

You should direct your steps to the source of eternal truth, for there you will receive the living water unclouded, thus also in fullest effectiveness. You will all more or less distance yourselves from it if you still turn your gaze towards the world; then a veil will hang before your eyes so that you will no longer be able to recognize the purity of My water of life, so that you will then perhaps still ingest it but pay no attention to its deliciousness and therefore also lose its effectiveness, because the strength it contains is My spirit which is only effective when it is desired by the heart. Turning to the world is a great danger, for My fountain of life, the source of living water, which alone provides salvation for the soul, does not emerge so noticeably that people find it without looking for it. The worldly mind causes it to remain hidden, yet it beckons promisingly to those who turn away from the world and only seek refreshment for their souls …. These will find the spring, they will enjoy the fresh drink which miraculously strengthens them and always increases the desire for it …. And the spring will never run dry, it will always invite the weary earthly wanderer to take a rest and be refreshed, and it will be refreshment for all who arrive there tired and powerless. For I Myself offer them a delicious drink to give them strength to return to their earthly path, which they urgently need in order to reach the aim. Wherever the source of eternal truth has opened up you should gather there, there you should receive what My love offers you. You should not bring food and drink which you have received elsewhere, you should come with empty hands but open hearts full of love and let yourselves be fed and watered by Me at the fountain of eternal life which love has opened so that My flow of love could pour out to the weary and hungry to strengthen them on their path through life …. It is the source of grace and love which you should all seek out, and you will also be made aware of it through messengers of love who have already found the path, who have felt the healing power of the spring and who repeatedly come there to draw in abundance what My love offers them. But beware of mixing the water of life with additives which cloud it and make it ineffective, carefully protect the spring from foreign additions, for only in the way I offer you the water of life is it healing for your soul, only when it originates from Me Myself is it true divine drink which refreshes and purifies and flows through you with strength. Always strive to reach the source of life and you will never lack the strength to cover the path upwards to Me, Who is your beginning and your aim ….

Amen

World clock …. Final hours ….

B.D. 5266 from December 6th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I want to inform those of you who believe in Me and have personally experienced My working that the world clock will soon run out, that the last hour will strike almost immediately and that My coming is imminent. People do not give credence to My relevant proclamations and only a few attach importance to them. Nevertheless, I keep telling you time and time again: The Day of Judgment is near and every person’s life is at risk. However, I do not refer to your mortal life, instead, your spiritual life is at risk, for if you are unprepared when the day comes upon you, you will succumb to spiritual death and this is far worse than mortal death which only affects the body. You are only minutes away from the Day of Judgment and although I use a different measurement of time …. the time will pass by at a frightening rate and the end will arrive alarmingly soon. My faithful followers will feel it and, with increasing eloquence, draw their fellow human beings’ attention to the Day of Judgment, but they will still not find any credence even when it becomes obvious that Satan is raging with all his might …. when the signs of the end are unmistakable and constantly increase …. The human race will cling to the world and refuse to believe that it will come to an end; even My voice from above will be ignored by them and that will be their downfall. Nevertheless you should speak to them and inform them of My admonitions and warnings even if they don’t want to accept anything. They shall be warned so that no-one can say that they did not know anything …. because I Myself still want to draw every individual person’s attention to it through personal indications, signs and events which affect him directly. Everyone shall be addressed by Me, even the greatest sinner and scorner of an eternal God …. They shall all still receive My grace beforehand so that they will not go astray if only they listen and make use of My gift of grace. And everyone will find the confirmation of My servants’ Words, everyone will be forced to think about it …. but the result will be determined by his own will. But then the last Judgment will come without fail …. so that what I let seers and prophets proclaim to this day will come to pass. Yet woe to those who ignore My every admonition and warning …. Woe to those who have rejected My gifts of grace from above and live an irresponsible life on earth. My Word is truth and must come true, and thus you humans can expect this day with certainty, regardless of whether or not you are prepared …. Once the world clock has run out everything on earth will come to an end and I will only fetch My Own into My kingdom, My Own, who believe in Me as the Creator and Father of eternity and also courageously profess this faith before the world. The secular world, however, is a part of the one who will be bound again and, with him, everything that still adheres to him …. they will be judged on the last day and their fate will be profound darkness.

Amen

Living faith …. power to resist ….

B.D. 5267 from December 8th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

In living faith lies all the strength to resist when the battle will flare up against Me and My teaching. Living faith makes you aware of My presence, and in My presence you fear nothing, not even the worldly rulers who threaten you in every way with their measures. Just let Me always be present in you, then nothing will frighten you anymore, no matter what is done against you. But you create My presence for yourselves through loving activity …. Where love is, I must be on account of My essence, which is love in itself. And where I am there is strength and power in all abundance, even if you are weak and helpless as a human being. And where love is, faith in Me is also so profound and unshakeable, for through activity in love you inevitably draw My strength to you, and this expresses itself in complete peace and certainty, in the conviction that I will never leave you without help. This conviction is living faith, a faith whose strength is palpable, a faith which lifts you up, whereas a dead faith depresses you because it is completely without strength …. But a living faith can only be gained through loving activity, it cannot be replaced by reflection or self-suggestion, it is there as soon as love is there …. It is the result of My presence which guarantees every work of love.

Your faith shall become so strong that it completely fills you, that everything that happens around you, that is directed against you, seems insignificant to you and only that alone is important to you, how you relate to Me, your heavenly father, Who can and will lead you out of all adversity because He loves you as His children. Once I have taken possession of your heart, so that I can always be present to you, I will also obviously make Myself felt, and then you will no longer be able to doubt My presence and therefore no longer be disturbed by what approaches you from outside. To carry Me in your heart is the highest aim you can achieve on earth, for then you will only dwell on this earth according to your body, but your soul will already be in the spiritual kingdom, therefore your soul will no longer fear the world and what comes from it. This living faith will inspire you and give you strength to resist when utmost commitment is demanded of you, when you have to openly confess Me, Whom you should deny …. Then you will choose what is right as a matter of course, then you will not be afraid to confess My name before the world, then you will also calmly face the death you are threatened with because you know that help will come to you from Me, Who is in you and no longer relies on you, Who will also visibly appear to you if the adversity is great and you need an unusual supply of strength …. Not a hair can be harmed without My will, and I can turn everything away from you, and even the greatest adversity need not frighten you, for after this time of adversity the time of joy will come for you which will compensate you for what you had to endure on earth for Me …. The strength of faith helps you to get over what the body will certainly still have to endure but which will not particularly burden the soul …. The strength of faith lets you endure everything for My sake, Who is in you and will never leave you again …. Who will fetch you into My kingdom, as I have promised ….

Amen

Spiritual work …. profession or appointed ….

B.D. 5268 from December 9th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

My word is truly given to you with the opening of your mouth, if it urges you to work for Me and My kingdom, to speak for Me and My name and to proclaim the gospel to your fellow human beings …. You can certainly also do all this for purely worldly reasons, you can have chosen the proclamation of My word as your profession and now constantly administer an office which is certainly intended to promote the salvation of your fellow human beings, but it will nevertheless remain a worldly office as long as you yourselves, as its providers, have not found the deep inner bond with Me which only makes you suitable to be true proclaimers of My gospel. If you speak in My name, the possibility should be created that I Myself speak through you, that you thus speak in My stead, that I certainly do not physically stand in front of the listeners but am certainly in the heart of the one who speaks to them and thus put My words into his mouth, which he only needs to utter in order to also find entrance into the hearts of those who listen to him. But what is more understandable than that My representative on earth himself must have entered into the bond with Me which allows My presence in his heart? What is more understandable than that he must believe in Me so vividly that he considers My working of the spirit in him possible, that he can preach without intellectual thought because it is I Who speaks through him? …. What is more understandable than that he must live a life of unselfish neighbourly love in order to attain this living faith? …. That he can only unite with Me through love so that I can be present in him? This is why there are only few true proclaimers of My word, and this is why the word has also lost its strength, because it is often just an interpretation of letters whose spiritual meaning has been lost, because My spirit has to work in you humans in order to grasp the meaning of the words I once spoke when I lived on earth. My word is blessed with My strength …. You cannot call the dead letters My word, they only come alive through My spirit, but then they are powerful and of such unheard-of effectiveness that they can penetrate the hearts of the listeners who are of good will again and want to receive My word …. but who, through their will, also already let My spirit work in them and then can also give life to a dead sermon …. My spirit must be able to be effective in all of you, and it will also be so if you live in love and prepare your heart for Me as a dwelling place, since I Myself can take possession of it and now, as always present to you, can also work in you …. Whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him …. And I will reveal Myself to him, I will introduce him to the truth and remind him of everything I have said …. My Spirit will come upon him as I have promised ….

Amen

Life energy – Spiritual energy ….

B.D. 5269 from December 10th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Never rely on your own strength. Although you have to activate your own will, i.e. you should not stay immobile and wait for help, you should always act in unity with Me and request My help and blessing and you will succeed. Your life energy entitles and enables you to be very busy indeed. But My will is in charge of everything and you cannot force My will; I, however, often find Myself compelled to oppose your will if this benefits your soul. Consequently your destiny also includes failures, futile plans and lack of success which you cannot avoid by using your own strength. Even your life energy is not of much use to you then and you frequently realise how little you can do by yourselves. All failures, all futile efforts, all sudden weaknesses are an indication that you should turn to the eternal Provider of strength, to appeal for His blessing and in recognition of your own inadequacy ask for an increase of strength and the success of every action.

Don’t forget Me, that is why I often allow you to experience situations where your own strength fails; I have to show you that your own efforts are futile without My blessing, which you should request first so that you won’t forget Me …. Cooperation with Me guarantees success; however, if you withhold yourselves from Me your efforts will be far more laborious and even then often unsuccessful. Nevertheless, you can enforce success but only with support of the strength from below which will always makes itself available to you in exchange for your soul …. Then you can be powerful on earth, then you will succeed in everything, then you can amaze your fellow human beings with supernatural works …. but then you will part with your freedom, then you are chained and completely in his, in Satan’s, power ….

Don’t ask for this strength from below even if it promises you an attractive earthly life …. Come to Me in heartfelt prayer, and call upon Me for strength and mercy and you will truly gain more than My opponent can offer you. But then you won’t take possession of worldly goods, instead I will bless every earthly beginning you undertake. I will also bless you spiritually, which means, that your close bond with Me enables Me to endow you with spiritual strength which is far more valuable than your life energy, because working with spiritual strength is always successful even if you don’t always know it. Don’t ever exclude Me whatever you start because I always want to be your adviser, leader and helper, Who directs everything for the benefit of you souls ….

Amen

Forms of spiritual work …. healing …. speaking in tongues ….

B.D. 5270 from December 11th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

My spirit’s working is based on love for Me and the neighbour, thus the person who lives a life of love, who helpfully supports his neighbour in spiritual as well as in earthly adversity and who is devoted to Me in profound love and humility so that he will always endeavour to fulfil My will, will always be filled by My spirit. Thus My spirit can become effective in him …. And it now expresses itself in many ways …. Many gifts of the spirit can be bestowed upon a person, yet rarely will all of them be recognizable in one person, for every individual person’s maturity of soul and spiritual abilities are different, and thus My spirit will be particularly prominent where certain prerequisites are present for the gifts of the spirit to come into their own, so that fellow human beings will recognize how the spirit of God can work in a person …. Where there is true love, faith will also be powerful …. But a powerful, living faith is able to do everything, and then My spirit will work in such a way that the strength of faith will become evident …. Then the human being can heal the sick, remedy states of weakness, cast out devils and thus achieve unusual successes which affect physical ailments. Then My spirit is obviously active and bears witness to My love and strength ….

Others again, who stand in love, fatefully have the opportunity to work enlighteningly amongst humanity …. Then the working of My spirit is recognizable in a different way, then knowledge is made accessible to the human being through My spirit which enables him to teach. Then the human being will be instructed by My spirit, his thinking will be ordered, his feeling will be refined, his spiritual ear will be trained so that it can hear the voice of the spirit which conveys everything to him which is to be said through him to his fellow human beings. Thus the human being can then preach in the spirit of God …. My spirit is effective as soon as the human being wants to work for Me and My kingdom out of love for Me and for his fellow human beings ….

Another gift of the spirit is the gift of prophecy, the seeing into the future and proclaiming it in order to warn and admonish fellow human beings to prepare themselves spiritually for a sudden end, for events which have a spiritual reason and purpose. This proclamation of coming events is also work for Me and My kingdom and therefore the gift of sight is to be addressed as spiritual work, because only spiritual successes are to be achieved through it and humanity shall never be surprised by a judgment without being warned but, if it believes, can draw spiritual benefit from such prophecies. Only a person filled by My spirit will draw fellow human beings’ attention to coming judgments and admonish them to a way of life which is pleasing to Me, for he knows about the spiritual adversity and his love impels him into redeeming activity ….

Another form of My working of the spirit is the gift of speaking to people in all languages they understand …. Whatever language the human being speaks, he hears his mother tongue from the one who speaks to him impelled by the spirit, he understands every word, he is addressed by My spirit which expresses itself in the speaker. But My spirit only works in this way when it is necessary, i.e. when people of all nationalities are gathered in desire to hear My word and a person filled by My spirit speaks to them in the urge of love to help them, to speak of My love, might and wisdom, thus to make them acquainted with Me and to preach the gospel to them. Then he will be able to speak in his usual language and yet be understood by all who hear it in their mother tongue …. Then My working of the spirit will be so obvious that it can no longer be doubted, yet every weak believer will assume that it was spoken in his own language, and therefore this working of the spirit is not a compulsion of faith for the weak believer, yet it is such obvious evidence for the awakened person which, however, also requires the strongest faith and the most unselfish love in order to be given to people by Me. My spirit works where it wants and how it wants …. But enlightened thinking, recognition of truth and spiritual striving is always a sure sign that My spirit is permitted to work on the part of the human being, who thus opens himself to its working through a life of love and then also safely reaches his aim on earth …. the union with Me, the eternal father-spirit ….

Amen

Large numbers of deaths …. Recalling the weak …. Decision ….

B.D. 5271 from December 13th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

And it will come to pass as I have proclaimed …. A large number of deaths will happen prior to it, and you will look upon it as a coincidence, as an accident, you will accept any other explanation but the right one, that I Myself recall people in large numbers who would fail in the last battle on this earth, who are too weak to offer resistance and who nevertheless shall not fall into My adversary’s hands either …. For I know the hearts of people and will never ever let anyone become a victim of ruin who still carries a small spark of love within himself and can still revive this spark, if not on earth then in the kingdom of the beyond, to where My love and mercy also reaches in order to bring help. It will come to pass as I have proclaimed. The scale of adversity and unhappiness will be such that everyone can recognise the time of the end if he wants to. But there will only be sorrow where My Own can be identified, for their sorrow will be caused by their fellow human beings in order to destroy My Own’s belief in their God and Creator of eternity in Whom they see their Father and to Whom they want to remain faithful. My opponent works against Me and uses people belonging to him to accomplish most disgraceful actions against My Own …. He wants them to desert Me and thus proceeds by using brutal means against which My Own are barely capable of standing up to. Yet the strength of My love supports them, the strength of My love prevails, even if My Own outwardly suffer greatest adversity …. they remain firm and surmount everything that is hostile, because My strength enables them to do so. The time draws to a close ….

What does not seem believable to you today you will soon experience, there will be a momentous change in every respect which will adversely affect all people and demand of all people an attitude towards Me, the Creator and Provider of eternity. And this attitude can only consist of acknowledgment or rejection. That is the decision which will still have to be taken before the end. I will powerfully intrude into your thoughts and you can accept Me or reject Me …. yet the decision you then make will be for eternity …. And this is why My adversary’s evil activity is being allowed, because he contributes towards the final decision for Me or for him …. he far exceeds his designated limits of authority, he presses My Own extraordinarily hard and gives to his followers in abundance …. earthly possessions, honour and fame, and therefore they would rather acknowledge him as their lord and renounce Me. Yet I will only allow those who are strong to experience the end, who are and will remain faithful to Me and constantly accept My strength of love. However, I will take care of the weak by recalling them before the end arrives, so that they will not fall into My adversary’s hands and have to do penance for an infinitely long time. But those who are strong in doing evil will suffer death on the day of Judgment, for they, too, receive My grace often enough yet they take no notice of it and consciously join My opponent’s camp, and thus they shall also share his fate when the end has come …. for everything will fulfil itself which was proclaimed through seers and prophets ….

Amen

Cooperation of light beings with humans …. lightbearers ….

B.D. 5272 from December 14th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

All the powers of heaven are working to help people in their spiritual adversity. For the great hardship on earth is evident in the spiritual kingdom, and since they also know the cause of it, they want to intervene to help. The earth lies in darkness, only occasionally do small lights flare up, but their light does not reach far and is caught by the night. People of bright spirit are only to be found in small numbers on earth, but the whole of humanity is of darkened spirit, night envelops it, the material world is predominant and the spiritual world can only radiate a faint glimmer of light, although its light is extremely effective, yet it only shines where the will for light is present …. Where darkness is preferred to night, there the light does not push itself forward. But the powers of heaven intervene, they send such bright rays of light down to earth that night is chased away where these rays of light are received, the kingdom of light establishes contact with people on earth. But the beings of light need the will of the people for this, which is expressed in the desire for enlightenment. The gates to the spiritual kingdom open up to the one who wants to know, or also …. there are no boundaries between heaven and earth where the human being is willing to lift these boundaries, where he consciously enters into contact with the kingdom beyond. There human cooperation with the beings of light is possible. The human being as such is imperfect as long as he still dwells on earth and will not reach the source of light by his own strength if he is not granted help from above, if he is not shown the path which leads to the source of light. And thus the messengers of the kingdom of light are constantly anxious to hand over guides to earthly wanderers, to illuminate the path for them and thus to precede them as bearers of light. Soon they will give the light themselves into the hands of those who let themselves be guided, and soon there will be new light bearers again who show their fellow human beings the right path which leads upwards. The spiritual kingdom works together with people on earth, yet the same work is always done, darkness is fought and light is carried on …. what is impossible at night can be done in the light of day, and people must constantly be active if their earthly life is not to have been an idle one. The night, however, gives no opportunity to work, for only light reveals where and how work is to be done. But light can only come from the kingdom of light, since the earth itself is a dark body to which light has to be brought …. i.e., people on earth are imperfect creatures who should develop upwards, and imperfect creatures are also lightless as a sign of their imperfection. But they can accept a great deal of light and become a body of light themselves if they appropriate the abundance of light from the spiritual kingdom, if they are willing to accept what comes to them from the kingdom of light …. if they want the darkness to depart from them and they approach the radiant morning through their will …. if they themselves seek the light and therefore also give the beings of light an opportunity to supply it to them …. Then the forces of heaven work unitedly with the people on earth, they fight unitedly against the darkness of night and also manage that the morning dawns and with it the radiant light of the sun …. the divine knowledge, touches the heart of people who want to escape the darkness of spirit ….

Effect of the divine word …. sermon …. power ….

B.D. 5273 from December 15th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Where My word is preached there is a possibility to enter the right path which leads upwards. My word is a call from above, My word is an indication of the right path, My word is a transmission of strength for every earthly wanderer, My word is the hand which reaches out to you humans from the spiritual kingdom to help you upwards. Where My word resounds I Myself will meet the human being, and through My word he can make the acquaintance of his creator and father of eternity, if I had previously remained a stranger to him. My word is the utterance of Myself as soon as I can speak through the mouth of an enlightened servant. But a person who is still unawakened in spirit can also make use of My word, then his attention will be drawn to it, and as he then inwardly attunes himself to the word he has heard, he will further be allowed to receive …. But he will always receive the gift blessed by My strength if he accepts My word of good will, no matter in which way. My word will always remain a call from above, for it once came forth from Me and thus contains its strength, even if it has remained incomprehensible to you humans. I always speak to the human being, no matter whether he hears or reads My word, the divine element in it will never lose its strength, and whether it speaks to you humans is entirely up to you and your will. For I approach you as you yourselves desire Me. But you express the desire yourselves through your will, to what extent it desires Me Myself when receiving My word. Preacher and listener can be in contact with each other if both have directed their serious will towards Me and now both become recipients of My word by Me Myself speaking to you humans through the preacher. Then a great blessing will flow over both of them and then I can truly say: “I am the way, the truth and the life ….” For My word shows you the right path of ascent, My word is therefore also purest truth and deepest wisdom, and in this realization the human being now also feels powerful and his spirit awakens to life, because he endeavours to put My word into action, thus the soul’s dead state is overcome and the soul’s true life awakens. Therefore, anyone who devoutly accepts My word, regardless of where and how it is offered to him, has entered the path which leads upwards …. he seeks Me and will also find Me, for I will surely come to meet him and help him to cover the last path easily. Yet without My word he can never become blissfully happy …. because My word signifies everything, light and strength and also My constant presence, otherwise you would not be able to recognize and understand My word if I Myself wanted to offer you My gift as food for the journey through earthly life. I Myself am present where My word is preached, but make sure that you make yourselves worthy of My presence, make sure that you hear My word with your heart and not just with your ears, so that it will come alive in you and your ascent upwards will be effortless, so that you will reach the aim and return to the father’s house, to Me, to your father of eternity ….

Amen

The living word ….

B.D. 5274 from December 16th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

All My words are life …. For I Myself am in every word which is sent down to you from on high …. I want to be in contact with My living creations and create this connection through My word. I Myself can reveal Myself to you through My word, and you attain knowledge of Me through My word. Every word of Mine radiates My love which is meant for you, My living creations, since eternity. My word is life and gives rise to life again …. For everything created only truly comes alive through My word, because it impels the created beings into activity and free activity testifies to life. I am your teacher, I want to try to make you understand how you should want, think and act in order to attain true life, and I can only do this by speaking to you, by trying to plant My will in you through My word, which gives you knowledge of My nature, My love, wisdom and strength, of My will, which you should also make your own will. My word shall bring about a complete change from death to life …. However, I do not call something completely lifeless dead in this case, but only that which is created by Me, which is to shape itself livingly in order to achieve highest perfection …. For life arises through a power which is used correctly in free will, and this power, which is to awaken you to life, is My word …. I speak like a father to his children and admonish them to do this or that for the sake of an aim. My word must also have its effect, yet I leave it up to My living creations whether they want to feel its effect on themselves. For this, too, belongs to true life, that it is not a means of coercion which My living creations cannot withdraw from. Again and again I come to people in the word, to the creations which are to become My children …. Again and again I present to them their present state and the glorious aim for which they are destined, and through My word I seek to awaken the desire in them to reach that aim. This is why I speak to My living creations, because otherwise they would not use their free will, because otherwise they would certainly remain My living creations forever but would never be able to attain their own life as My true children. My words, however, contain life within themselves, and anyone who accepts them into his heart will also soon feel a transformation of himself, he will experience the rebirth of his soul, he will enter into a new life, he will continuously maintain the bond with Me, he will enter into a great spiritual process of life where constant spiritual activity generates new life, he will gain eternal life himself, he will enter into heartfelt contact with the ‘word of eternity’ …. he will live in and with Me for eternity ….

Amen

Truth …. love and faith condition ….

B.D. 5275 from December 18th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I Myself guide you into truth, I Myself change the state of darkness into a state of light in people who seek the light and ask Me for it. The world is full of error and lies, the earthly-minded world lies in complete spiritual darkness, it does not know where the truth is and has no desire to possess it either. Nevertheless, it believes to be in the midst of truth, for it regards everything presented to it as truth. Earthly-minded people believe lies and error and doubt the pure truth because this corresponds to their attitude, that they are darkened in spirit and cannot recognize anything correctly. But this is also why they fight each other when different alleged truths appear, and this is why people have much spiritual knowledge and yet cannot speak of possessing the pure truth. Nevertheless …. even if rarely …. truth appears …. and that is when I intervene Myself, i.e. when a person asks Me for the supply of pure truth. Then a possibility is created to impart completely error-free spiritual knowledge to people, the pure truth, given by the eternal truth Itself. I introduce you to the truth …. The sun rises in you, so to speak, for truth is a light which shines down upon you from above, which must make the human being happy because the darkness is taken away from him, because everything is now clearly recognizable and because the spiritual image which now presents itself to the human being’s spiritual eye enraptures him and makes him strive for it with all his senses. A person’s longing and striving is now directed towards the spiritual kingdom, the earthly world loses its attraction because the spiritual world outshines it many times over, because the exit of light is there, whereas the earthly world is part of the kingdom of darkness. Anyone who has once learned to look spiritually will be able to appreciate the oppressive effect the material world has on everything spiritual; but the spiritual world can only be revealed through truth, and pure truth can only come forth and be offered by Me. For this reason the human being who desires to stand in truth must consciously establish the connection with Me and now receive it …. and acquire the ability to do so himself through activity in love …. This condition has to be fulfilled if a person wants to be introduced to truth by Me, for through loving activity he awakens the faith in himself that I reveal Myself, and I will never let such faith fail. Thus through love and faith the human being attains the truth …. but never by any other means. This is why truth can only be found to a limited extent on earth, for even the once purest truth becomes contaminated as soon as the human being neglects love and faith and would then neither be able to recognize the truth nor keep it pure. For the truth is I Myself, and since I Myself am also eternal love, one cannot be without the other. I am always willing to introduce you humans to the truth if only you fulfil the conditions. But then the sun of the spirit will shine down upon you and it will become light and bright in you, and all darkness must depart ….

Amen

Communion …. "He who abides in love …."

B.D. 5276 from December 19th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him …. Hence love is the first means to secure My strength, i.e. I can be in you directly, you have accepted Me Myself into your hearts if you perform works of love, if love fills your heart. The connection between us, the communion, is to be understood in this way and no other way, for without love I can never dwell in you because I Myself am love after all. My primordial being is love …. not that love is only a quality of My being, but I Myself am love ….

It is not possible for you humans on earth to understand this, for it requires a maturity of soul of the highest degree, it requires a supernatural understanding to fathom My being, yet it will never be possible to fathom it completely, after all, there is an enormous difference between the creator and controller of all infinity and His living creation which can certainly be greatly reduced but never completely abolished. And only love brings about this reduction, only love brings about a constant approach to Me which can go as far as a complete fusion but nevertheless does not abolish a soul’s individuality. But therein also lies unlimited beatitude, which consists of the constant longing for unification with Me and its fulfilment. Union with Me can already take place on earth through unselfish activity of love, because then I Myself will always be compelled by you to work directly in you, but I exceedingly gladly allow Myself to be compelled by you because My love draws Me to you and demands reciprocation of your love. A connection between you humans and the eternal love is not possible in any other way than that you cultivate love so that I Myself can then be present in you. You can all experience for yourselves how My presence will then take effect in you, for everyone who has granted Me entrance into his heart through loving activity also feels Me in a form and will find peace in his soul. Wherever I can be present, I have an effect on the human being from within. His living faith, his enlightened thinking, his recognition of truth, bright vision into the future or prophetic gift or also the power to heal the sick …. All these are effects of My presence, of My love for the one who loves Me, so that I can reveal Myself to him, obviously or also in secret, in deep, silent faith, gentle, exceedingly loving nature, patient suffering and constant surrender into My will. The human being can only do all this if he is flooded by My strength, which is always a sign of My presence in him, a result of the love which fills him. I Myself, as the eternal love, can only dwell where love is, but I can also never be distant from those who live in love and therefore must also be recognizable, for love is strength, and strength will always be active, thus it will allow constant changes to become recognizable which are expressed in a person’s nature or in his spiritual abilities …. in the increase of knowledge and recognition of divine truth, in constantly increasing maturity of soul and finally reaching the final aim on this earth, the highest degree of maturity, which lets the human being become My child, which he will now remain until all eternity ….

Amen

The helping hand of Jesus Christ …. Deliverance from the abyss ….

B.D. 5277 from December 20th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

On earth as well as in the beyond the Saviour’s saving hand reaches out to the souls in the abyss to aid the ascent of those who seize His hand. God’s love and mercy is constantly at work to bring redeeming help; but the souls themselves must want to be helped or every gift of grace from God will remain ineffective. But only a desperate situation can persuade someone to appeal for help. Every immature soul in the kingdom of the beyond suffers and is tormented, whereas the soul on earth seeks to numb itself with earthly pleasures and thus finds it far more difficult to appeal to God for help. Yet the spiritual hardship is just as severe but it has a perceptible effect in the beyond. The soul on earth could certainly advance with ease, since the person can use his energy of life for God-pleasing actions, whereas the soul in the beyond is powerless and depends on help, either from the beings of light or from human beings.

However, there is far less willingness to do good on earth than with the souls in the beyond, whose will is only weak as long as the soul lacks strength, but after its first gift of strength it constantly gets stronger. The torments in the beyond can bring about a change of will, and then the ascent is also guaranteed. But even on earth spiritual progress is impossible without a change of will, and since the world always has a numbing effect on people they occasionally have to be placed into a state of distress to instigate a change of will. In that case, however, the helping hand of Jesus Christ, the divine love, is always ready to elevate a person, and there is hope of redemption for every soul, yet the soul’s will, which inevitably has to aim upwards, decides the moment in time itself …. One day even the strongest opposing will shall be broken, yet not force but divine love will achieve this, which time and again will approach the being until it is recognised and reciprocated, until the being’s will overwhelmingly wants to give itself to God as His Own ….

Amen

End of the period of Salvation …. God's plan of Salvation ….

B.D. 5278 from December 21st 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I have set a goal for you and granted you humans a period of time in which you certainly could have reached this goal. And even now it is still possible for you to attain this goal if you genuinely wanted to do so. Yet the limit given to you has passed, only a short time separates you from the end, and anyone who hasn’t reached the goal by then will have squandered his spiritual life, he will have forfeited it because he didn’t want to live, and his fate will be death …. One period of Salvation comes to an end and a new one begins; yet the spiritual essence which is presently embodied on earth as a human being has definitely reached the end, and if it fails it must start the cycle of evolution once again, so that My law of eternal order shall be fulfilled. The deadline has expired, you are just minutes away from the hour when the old earth will be destroyed, when its creations will be disintegrated in order to arise anew, in order to provide again new opportunities for the development of the still immature spiritual beings. And although I repeatedly inform you of this hour …. it bypasses your ears without leaving any impression, you don’t believe it …. Yet your unbelief will not deter My eternal plan, it just induces Me to send you ever more distinct signs to make a near end seem credible to you.

Your unbelief causes Me to inflict extremely painful wounds on you in order to make you consider what your life is about and how you have used it. You cannot be spared hours of adversity and misery since they can, after all, still contribute towards leading you to the goal, which you really can still reach if you have the serious will to do so. I will noticeably help you and give you strength, yet your heart must appeal to Me for help to demonstrate your will. I can and will do anything to make you happy yet I cannot change My eternal plan of Salvation, it has to be carried out in accordance with the law of eternal order and within the preordained time, which is now coming to an end. Humanity’s spiritual state had already reached its lowest point some time ago which necessitated the end of the earth, yet I still wait for the sake of the few who are weak and undecided, as I can still win them over before the end of the deadline. But then all options will have been exhausted, then everyone will have to accept the consequences of their attitude towards Me, and Judgment will categorically take place, and everyone will receive the fate he deserves …. eternal bliss or damnation …. life in paradise on the new earth or renewed banishment into the creations for an infinitely long time again ….

Amen

Saviour and Physician ….

B.D. 5279 from December 24th 1951, taken from Book No. 58

I brought you Salvation from utmost adversity when I descended to earth …. The Saviour was truly born to you, the Physician of your souls, Who wanted to help you recover from a serious illness, Who knew your ailment as well as how to cure it …. I came as Saviour, for humanity suffered great hardship. But even today it experiences the same difficulties; people are struck by a disease which will lead to death if nothing is done to stop it, if the Saviour is not made use of again, Who alone can help them attain life. Yet people don’t recognise their ailment, they don’t call for the Physician, they are incapable of living and don’t have faith while they still live their physical life, which is the only one they deem desirable …. The adversity is far greater now than it was when I came into the word, for people know Me and forgot about Me, people know about a Physician Who is able to cure them but they don’t call on him, people don’t call upon a Saviour and yet they stand on the brink of the abyss ….

The night is dark and people don’t see the light shining for them. Their thoughts certainly drift back to this time because it is tradition to think of Me just once, Who laid as a Babe in a manger. Yet they don’t consider the significance of My arrival, because this requires a serious will and the realisation of spiritual hardship. I want to be a Physician and true Saviour again to anyone who calls upon Me in his heart; anyone who carries his sins to Me shall be forgiven by Me, to anyone who offers Me a loving heart I will bestow My blessing, with light and strength to recognise Me and to understand My act of Salvation, so that he can make use of it and so that I did not die on the cross in vain for him …. I came into the world …. Time and again I come to My children if only they accepted Me, if only they prepared the manger for Me in their hearts, if love enabled their heart to accept Me …. Like a true Physician and Saviour I would take effect in those who come to Me ailing and burdened by guilt, I want to release them from sickness and suffering, from darkness and sin, as soon as they merely consider Me and My mission on earth, as soon as they only believe in Me as the Redeemer of the world, Who took a tabernacle as His abode because He came to the poor, sick and weak who needed help in their adversity. Again I want to help and heal where I Am faithfully called upon as Saviour before the time is fulfilled, because it approaches its completion. Yet anyone who allows himself to be healed by Me need not fear the end for he will live in eternity ….

Amen
