Power diversion process ….
B.D. 5440 from July 17th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
You humans on earth cannot comprehend what is happening in the universe, for an exchange is constantly taking place, a flow of strength from God is being channelled into the countless earthly and spiritual creations. Power stations, that is, spiritual beings full of light, which can receive and absorb an abundance of strength from God in order to pass it on again to where light and strength are needed, are everywhere …. It is an uninterrupted outpouring of power from God and an uninterrupted distribution of it into His creations. But since nothing happens without meaning and purpose, the process of redirection takes place in a lawful order, and the Will of God, the Lawgiver from Eternity, is just as active in His beings of light as in God Himself, yet it is entrusted to them to carry out the divine will. The existence of the entire spiritual and earthly creation has therefore been entrusted to His beings of light, which are in highest perfection, because the uninterrupted reception of strength also impels these beings to uninterrupted activity and this activity again consists of organising and providing for that which is dependent on God’s supply of strength in order to be able to be active in God’s will again. The perpetual supply and diversion of strength generates a perpetual life, but it also proves life, for there is no standstill, which would be like death …. There is nothing lifeless in the entire universe as long as it is fed by God’s all enlivening power; but there is also no cessation of the supply of power, there is no weakening power, yet the power is passed on in different intensities, which also means more or less pulsating life …. which is why the creations in the universe are also of different kinds, from the still completely material to the completely spiritualised creations. Yet nothing is completely without a supply of strength, so that life is noticeable everywhere, even if it is sometimes barely recognisable. The flow of strength from God therefore touches His children in fullest intensity, that is, the spiritual creatures which have attained highest perfection, which directly receive His radiation of love and use this strength in their loving urge in order to enlighten the spiritual world full of light, in order to constantly give it away and thus to start the process of redirection which, as a final result, shall again bring the return of the strength from God to Himself in the form of beings which have attained ultimate perfection and which, as children of God, may receive His strength of love again …. (17.7.1952) Throughout the entire universe beings of light, that is, recipients of strength from God, carry out their ministry by, as it were, ensuring the life of that which is entrusted to their care. It is simply said: The beings of light ensure the existence of it …. This means as much as that these beings of light are creatively active, that they utilise this strength in God’s will as power stations in eternity and then time and again new creations arise, through their will indeed, but which is also always God’s will, otherwise they could never receive unlimited strength, because this necessitates complete acceptance of divine will, thus the being is actually only the executor of divine will in order to thereby be allowed to experience supreme bliss. No being keeps the power of love flowing towards it for itself but uses it to awaken new life, so that therefore new creations constantly arise as well as the spiritual, which is in a dead, i.e. powerless state, is called into life, because the radiation of divine power always has a life awakening effect and it is only left to the receivers of power to use it in the right way, i.e. to transmit it in wisdom and love to where powerlessness is visible, which at the same time means spiritual death …. Innumerable receivers of light and strength are bestowed happiness by God, countless power stations receive and send, spiritual and material creations arise, darkness is flooded by light which also penetrates the graves and awakens the dead to life …. No spiritual being, which is still imperfect, is without such spiritual care, and every being filled with power wants to communicate, it wants to pass on and let the stream of power from God flow ceaselessly to where there is a lack of power …. Innumerable small and smallest living beings catch this power and awaken to life in order to now be included in the power exchange process for their part, for even the smallest living being increases this power by again giving life to beings and the uninterrupted supply of power takes place, which has its origin in God but which never flows out arbitrarily, but according to divine order, in accordance with His principle of wisdom and love, fills the whole universe, gives rise to spiritual and material creations and gives all beings the opportunity to become perfect by supplying them again with the strength of which they once deprived themselves and which leads them back to God’s presence where they once started out ….

Descriptions of the beyond only illustrative and comparative ….
B.D. 5441 from July 18th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
Everything above and beyond your earthly life will remain a mystery to you, even if it is revealed to you by your Heavenly Father’s love and kindness, for it can only ever be explained to you such that you can understand it while you are living on earth. Despite explanations you can only form an impression as far as it correspond to your intellectual capacity and knowledge, and you also try to apply this knowledge to the sphere which is still closed to you …. Yet you fail to consider that your knowledge is indescribably limited and that even the earth you inhabit is incredibly small and poor compared to the splendours of many other creations in God’s kingdom. You don’t consider that you are lacking all means of comparison in order to give you humans full understanding of this supernatural world …. Thus it is also impossible to give you an explanation which totally corresponds to the truth …. You can only receive comparative descriptions from which you can see that, just like on earth, laws have to be complied with, and that the divine order in the spiritual kingdom must categorically be observed if higher development is to continue in the beyond. Furthermore, it is impossible to convey spiritual impressions to people on earth or even approximately explain them …. No words can describe to you humans the state of the beings in the beyond and how they feel ….
These emotions are the effect of what they experience, what they behold and how they feel in view of the indescribable creations, irrespective of whether these are of a blessed or wretched kind …. Trying to explain this to you humans is only possible by using analogies, thus earthly concepts are given to you which indeed allow you to recognise the meaning and purpose but which are not the reality. The death of the body is not the end; the soul continues to live in spheres which it has created for itself as a result of its earthly life. Its fate can be a happy or a wretched one …. but be it as it may …. it can only ever be figuratively brought home to you humans, and every such explanation, every description, is only ever a faint attempt to solve a problem with concepts that are known to you …. in order to increase your sense of responsibility towards the soul, whose fate in the beyond is shaped by you humans on earth ….
The knowledge of otherworldly things is withheld from humanity, and neither will it ever be able to penetrate an area which may only be entered when a human being’s spiritual development has reached the degree which enables his spiritual vision …. But even then it will still not be possible for him to intelligibly describe his impressions and emotions to his fellow human beings, because the earthly kingdom and the spiritual kingdom are two entirely separate regions where one is no longer responsible for the other …. thus where the applicable laws in one world are completely revoked in the other …. Even so, the spiritual kingdom is a reality, and everyone will be able to realise it himself when he discards his earthly shell and enters this kingdom, and then he will understand that the people on this earth could not have received an explanation which totally complies with the truth ….

Spiritual decline …. Urgency of helping co-operation ….
B.D. 5442 from July 19th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
A spiritual mission must be undertaken and carried out completely voluntarily, for all compulsion prevents its effect. But the free will to do so arises from love, from love for Me and for one’s neighbour, otherwise a person would never offer himself to such a mission, which only has purely spiritual causes and pursues a purely spiritual purpose. If love for Me and for his neighbour impels a person to lead him to Me because he knows that the distance from Me has a disastrous effect on his fellow human being’s soul and because he knows that I take pleasure in every soul which returns to Me again, only then will he be successful in his mission, because love is the strength which brings about success …. I can only make people realise their spiritual adversity, the will to remedy it now has to awaken in the human being’s heart and impel him into further action. Although I Myself Am always the driving force, it is My love which I bestow upon you, who want to serve Me, which constantly keeps the desire alive in you to help those who are in need …. And My love can affect you in this way because you are of good will …. The danger of spiritual decline is immense amongst people, nothing leaves a deeper impression anymore, no matter what they encounter …. everything is viewed purely earthly but no spiritual meaning or explanation is ever recognised. Mankind can no longer be influenced in any way, even the greatest disasters only affect them insofar as their own possessions are lost as a result, but those who are not affected themselves only take note of it, yet the event does not leave a deeper impression. Scorn and derision only affect those who believe to recognise a spiritual connection; people are very superficial and it is unspeakably difficult to touch their hearts so that they open themselves to the spiritual influence and come to recognition. It is also unspeakably difficult for you, who have taken on this mission, to be heard by the people of the world …. And yet you are still best able to make them think because you live amongst them and yet walk a path which is unknown to them. They have no desire to follow you on this path and yet they wonder where your path might lead …. The very fact that you walk among them and think and act differently from them can make them think, and that is what is necessary in order to be able to continue to influence them. But I know about every soul, about its degree of maturity, I also know that only a few can still be won and I will not leave them to their fate but send you on their way. I Myself can only influence them through you, and that is your mission, that you create the connection between them and Me, that you give Me the opportunity to speak to people without forcing their will …. They will not recognise Me but listen to the words as emanating from you, and yet they will remember some of these words because My power is at work where they only listen to Me …. No encounter you will have is arbitrary, just as no event around you is pointless and purposeless, yet the human being’s will itself decides the effect on himself, on his soul. I rejoice in your co-operation, yet you also have to carry out this work entirely of your own free will, which is why I cannot prove the importance of your work to you through unusual signs but only require your faith that I need you during the last days before the end because immense spiritual hardship prevails on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom, and that I bless you for your will to help and your loving cooperation ….
Amen

Spiritual drought – water of life …. Awakening spiritual hunger ….
B.D. 5443 from July 20th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
You are to seize every opportunity to be active for Me and My kingdom. Spiritual hunger is to be awakened, you are to hand out small pieces and, believing in Me, always be certain of My blessing so that your work will be successful. There is a great spiritual drought, a spiritual desert where no life thrives, and into this desert you are to bring fruitfulness …. an endeavour which seems almost impossible and yet is possible if the living water is supplied to it, if something truly life-awakening is carried into the desert and careful care is given to the emerging seed, if My Word, the right water of life, is carried with much love and patience to wherever people’s hearts are barren and empty and in need of a new revival. The spiritual hunger in people’s hearts must be stirred and therefore the bread of heaven must be brought to them so that they can reach for it and refresh themselves …. Only a few make the attempt, but these will never regret it, for they receive something precious that they no longer want to give away. No spiritual gift remains ineffective once it has been received as nourishment for the soul. Anyone who receives it in the desire for spiritual nourishment will also experience strengthening and gratefully recognise it as the bread of heaven, he will supply his soul with living water and truly turn a desert of the heart into fertile soil, he will feel the flow of divine love and open himself to it, and he will never again go hungry, for as soon as he desires nourishment for his soul he will also receive it. I will send My messengers to him so that they will give him what he needs for his soul. And therefore you should be constantly active, for the spiritual hardship is great and only My Word can give people what they need in order to reduce it ….
Amen

The loving person cannot deny God out of conviction ….
B.D. 5444 from July 21st 1952, taken from Book No. 60
What you do to those in need, you have done to Me. As soon as love motivates you to help your fellow human beings in spiritual or earthly adversity, you also love Me, for love encompasses everything and thus you can no longer exclude Me, Who Am Eternal Love Myself, if you feel love within you. To whom you turn your love does not matter; love always remains something divine, it is always a sign of approaching Eternal Love. Hence, I accept every act of love as having been granted to Me and reciprocate the love to a greater extent, which is why the willingness to love will constantly increase until the human being’s nature has completely become love. This is why a loving person cannot deny Me as Eternal Love if he is seriously confronted with the question of whether he believes in a God Who is Love in Himself. He cannot do so with conviction, but it is possible that he does not seriously ask himself this question, that he thoughtlessly denies an Eternal Deity in order to oppose …. Therefore he could believe if he wanted to, but he lacks the will to deal with this problem. Being able to believe presupposes the will to believe, as soon as the will is there, previous doubts immediately melt away when he mentally grapples with a doctrine that must be accepted and can also be accepted with good will. The objection ‘I cannot believe’ is an untruth, because then the will to believe is not yet present. A loving person can very easily become convinced because faith arises from love; on the other hand, it is difficult for a completely unloving person to gain this faith and so love has to be practised first if the will to believe is there, which, however, will rarely be the case with an unloving person. But without faith there is no bliss, for I cannot give Myself to a person and reveal My glories to him if he does not recognise Me, that is, if he does not believe in Me as a loving, exceedingly wise and omnipotent Being. Recognising Myself causes Me to give without measure and I provide the souls with undreamt-of glory, yet they can only take possession of Me through faith in Me …. But I do not deny Myself to the human being yet he himself accepts nothing from Me since he does not recognise Me, since he denies My Being. Butt I will not give up on even the most unbelieving soul, I will approach it time and again and try to reveal Myself …. One day I shall succeed, one day even the most unbelieving soul will know that there is a Being to Whom it owes its existence, and one day it will also recognise His perfection and long for His love. Then it will also be able and willing to love, and then it will be able to believe firmly and without doubt and approach Me in this faith; it will long for Me and also find fulfilment, it will come to Me voluntarily and I shall receive it because it now loves Me and believes in Me ….
Amen

God as Teacher …. Truth – Light ….
B.D. 5445 from July 22nd 1952, taken from Book No. 60
I Am your Teacher, and I truly teach you right. I give you light …. And thus the battle against darkness starts from Me, for to carry light into the darkness means to fight against the darkness, to dispel it with brightly radiating light which penetrates into every corner if it is not denied access. But bringing light means bringing the pure truth to those who still languish in error, in the darkness of the spirit. Truth, the Eternal Light, emanates from Me and is directed against the one who is an enemy of truth, who wants to spread error and lies in the world in order to dethrone Me. He shall never succeed because the light has such a strong luminosity that it exposes every intention of My adversary. It will uncover the pure truth quite clearly and distinctly all correlations and thus also the battle between light and darkness and its cause, and all the sooner where humanity is brought the truth which will appear acceptable to all those who want to know what was not sufficiently explained to them …. about the meaning and purpose of earthly life and their earthly task …. He opens up and the light can shine into his heart. He accepts the truth I give to him through My servants, whose Teacher I Am Myself. I Myself therefore bring the truth to those who ask for it, even if they receive it from a human being …. Yet it is I Myself Who speaks through this person. And because the darkness lies very densely spread across the earth I have to kindle little lights everywhere, that is, take abode in the spirit of many people in order to speak to people, and I do this wherever devout people who are devoted to Me and active with love, speak for Me, be it in congregations, be it in small circles …. wherever My Name is mentioned, where, as it were,
I Myself can dwell amongst them through the will of those, there I can also express Myself through the mouth of one or the other, and he will then be able to speak spiritually and then speak for Me and My kingdom, and what he speaks shall be pure truth. For where two or three are gathered in My name I Am in their midst and I shall truly know how to prevent My adversary from gaining the upper hand if one of his representatives would be among them …. The truth shall find access everywhere, but whether people feel comfortable in brightly lit rooms is up to them …. Many retreat into darkness again because they believe they can do without the light, the pure truth. For My adversary also fights with tenacity and all the means at his disposal. Nor does he shy away from seemingly accepting the truth, from presenting himself as a servant of Mine in order to turn a blind eye at the first opportunity and to clearly move on to the opposite …. to reject everything he had previously advocated …. Wherever there is still darkness, where uncertainty and lack of understanding prevail, there My light has not yet penetrated, there My adversary is at work. Where, on the other hand, illumination full of light can be given, there the truth is advocated, there people speak for Me, the One Who is Eternal Truth, and you should listen to them. Untruth, error and lies have an ungodly and serious effect in the beyond because the soul has no clear realisation, because all its thinking and willing is confused and it cannot find its way out of the darkness without help. Only the light of truth points the way in this kingdom, and anyone who does not possess it is poor and wretched …. This is why I want to instruct you humans while you are still on earth and convey the pure truth to you so that you will not wander around in darkness on earth and even more so in the spiritual kingdom, where you find it even more difficult to accept the truth than on earth …. But you can only be saved through the truth, for truth is light and light is bliss ….
Amen

Spiritual compulsion …. Doctrines …. Truth ….
B.D. 5446 from July 23rd 1952, taken from Book No. 60
One characteristic of the working of My spirit is hearing the inner voice. I Myself communicate with you so that you can understand Me, so that you can even hear My voice audibly within if you have reached a specific degree of maturity which allows for the latter. Hence you can hear My Word within yourselves which My love, wisdom and omnipotence pours into you in the form of brightest thoughts, and which also reveal My love, wisdom and omnipotence to you …. Kind admonition, comfort and advice will therefore reach your spiritual ear and teachings of wisdom will be conveyed to you, explaining My reign and activity in a way that you can also recognise My omnipotence, for all My revelations I bestow upon a person are merely intended for you to recognise Me Myself, to recognise a Being Which is exceedingly kind, wise and powerful. Consequently, if I reveal Myself to a person who is able to hear My voice within himself, he must also receive Words which allow Me to be recognised in My nature, and thereby you human can make the test, if you doubt the authenticity of such Words which are presented as having been ‘received’ from Me. Every human being should be able to hear My voice within himself, yet only a few people exist on earth, especially during the last days, to whom I can speak so that they will hear Me. Although anyone may feel himself addressed by Me, I will not deny Myself to any person, however, whether his soul is sufficiently prepared so that it can hear and understand the voice of My spirit is the only decisive factor, as to whether the spiritual knowledge presented to people as My revelation is My spoken living Word. For the intellect can also produce words which are pleasing to Me, a person’s thoughts can aim towards Me and desire to hear My speech, he can want Me to express Myself in a way he desires. In that case the spiritual information is produced through human will, and although it is not in contradiction to the divine principle it is nevertheless not the divine Word My spirit would like to impart to the soul, but the soul can neither hear nor understand this because it has not attained spiritual maturity as yet.
This person is indeed influenced by My spirit or he would not express God-opposing views, however, My voice, My living Word, is always received without forethought, in a manner of speaking, the recipient receives My literally imparted Word …. Words with profound meaning through which all people shall be guided into realisation; Words which are profoundly significant and are intended to enlighten people who are still living in spiritual darkness. If I speak through the spirit to people who are to pass on to their fellow human beings what they heard from Me, then I will truly speak in a clearly understandable way which also testifies to My love, wisdom and omnipotence, otherwise I Myself would not be recognised in the Word that flows forth from Me. However, the intention of My Word is for humanity to learn to recognise Me …. Consider these Words seriously if you conduct an examination of spiritual knowledge which claims to originate from Me. If people can recognise an exceedingly kind, wise and powerful God and Father of eternity in it, they can unhesitatingly accept them as coming from Me. Nevertheless, only very rarely reveal Myself to a soul which had so sharpened its spiritual ear in order to perceive the voice of My spirit and to repeat word for word the message it receives from the spirit …. A genuine Word recipient is never intellectually active himself and his spiritual knowledge includes all areas, because I first want to introduce himself and through him subsequently all people to the truth, because he shall become a true proclaimer of the truth, for only this can make My nature identifiable to people. It is imperative that anyone who wants to recognise Me must know the truth, so that he will learn to gain a living faith, i.e. that his inner faith will become conviction, which before was merely traditionally adopted spiritual knowledge. I, however, want to be recognised, because I want to be loved …. For this reason all My revelations will only aim to achieve to give people a truthful impression of Me, so that they will be able to love Me if they inwardly visualise this picture which is, however, only possible if purest truth is conveyed to them. And the unusual way of transferring the truth through a person’s indwelling spirit is always the most unmistakable characteristic that a person hears My voice within himself, that he receives the living Word from Me Myself, Who is the eternal Word Himself ….
Amen

What is creation ….
B.D. 5447 from July 24th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
What is creation …. Ideas and thoughts emerged from Me, they took on form, and My will to love consolidated these forms, they were, as previously still purely spiritual substance, hardened and condensed into something visible …. into matter, which is therefore spiritual force consolidated in itself, the starting point of which I Am Myself …. My ideas and thoughts, however, did not flow purposelessly into infinity but were based on My love and wisdom, they were, as it were, the means I recognised to change a wrong state of the spiritual substance once created by Me, which had fallen away from Me of its own free will. No cause remains without an effect …. My created visible and invisible worlds were the effect that emerged from the cause …. the apostasy of the spiritual from Me ….. In My wisdom I recognised a path by which, what once had fallen, could return to Me …. This path emerged before My spiritual eye as thoughts and ideas and I realised them through My loving will, for My love is force and what I wanted also happened. I now saw the ideas in reality before Me, they had taken shape and I animated these forms with the spiritual substance, thus I effectively moulded the spiritual substance itself into the creations, which now became visible reality as hardened substance …. Hence the material creation is the spiritual force condensed into form which hardened because it had become inactive due to its refusal to accept My influx of power which would have enabled it to carry out the activity which was its destiny before the apostasy of the spiritual substance. The spiritual substance resisted Me of its own volition; it believed that it could exist without My influx of strength and thus became incapable of any activity, which therefore resulted in the congealing of the spiritual substance …. or also: My will bound or strengthened the spiritual substance and, as it were, let it take the path which intended a change of will …. The process of upward development through Creation began with the goal of the fallen spiritual substance’s return to Me …. Everything that came into being through My will and My power of love, be it the spiritual or the material creation, first emerged as a thought but was immediately already a reality because no time was needed once wisdom and love moved such thoughts within themselves which corresponded to My perfection and were therefore no longer capable of improvement. The condensed or bound state of spiritual force was only meant to be a temporary one because it effectively signified a decline for the freelycreated spiritual substance which, however, was able to return the former freedom to the spiritual substance which had voluntarily entered a state of powerlessness and had to regain its original state in order to be happy. Moreover, My perpetually emanating force is also perpetually effective, which means that it can only have positive success because it is always constructive but never destructive …. It is only allowed to find no resistance, which then also excludes a negative effect but, according to the law of eternity, cancels the effect as long as this resistance …. the rejection of My power of love …. exists. Until then the spiritual substance will also remain in its torpor, for My power of love alone redeems the torpid spiritual substance, My power of love alone returns the life which was once in it and leads it back to the purpose it was able to fulfil in the beginning …. My power of love dissolves hard matter and spiritualises it again, and the thoughts and ideas externalised by Me have proven themselves and accomplished what is the meaning and purpose of every work of creation …. They have returned the spiritual substance to Me which once voluntarily distanced itself from Me but could never separate itself from Me because it cannot exist without Me ….

Spiritual spark …. Life ….
B.D. 5448 from July 25th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
It is the spirit that gives life …. It is My Spirit, My Share, which slumbers within you and shall be brought to awaken, which does not push itself forward but patiently waits until you prompt it to express itself …. But then it will announce marvellous things to you, for it is divine and therefore knows everything, it can also reveal everything to you that you desire to know and even more ….
My Spirit is the divine spark which rests in every human being’s heart and which only gives him the right life if it can be active in him. And to let this spiritual spark become an infinite sea of fire is the purpose of your earthly life or also the fulfilment, for then you will be filled with the divine spirit as soon as the spark in you, which is My Share, has become a bright flame of love. For then you will have accomplished the union with Me, the spark of love will have united with the fire of Eternal Love and I shall be present in the human being in all fullness, he shall live in and with Me …. At the beginning of your embodiment as a human being your soul came from below, that is, its substances passed through the material creation because they belonged to the fallen spiritual substance which first had to develop upwards again …. The body is likewise still very immature spiritual substance, and both soul and body would hardly progress upwards during earthly life if the divine spark within the soul did not take the lead …. or also …. if I were not always willing to let My Spirit, My power of love, flow into the human being, which always results in the achievement of the final goal, but this grace is not utilised by every human being …. For My Spirit can only express itself once the human being listens to it of his own free will, My Spirit can only express itself when the human being’s heart shapes itself into love which enables him to hear the subtle voice of My Spirit …. Thus he awakens it to life through love, that is, he allows its effectiveness, My Spirit becomes active and now guides the human being onto the right path …. My Spirit instructs him, the human being is taught divine wisdom from within because it is not earthly but spiritual knowledge which he now receives, knowledge which originates from Me Myself, which is thus conveyed to the human being through the voice of the spirit. However, in order to be able to hear this voice the human being’s spiritual ear has to be trained, that is, the soul has to shape itself such that it understands what the spirit is saying to it, and this shaping happens through loving actions …. A person who lives a life of love has the ability to inwardly hear the words imparted to him by My Spirit; however, the soul has only regained this ability, for it once possessed great abilities which it lost due to its past apostasy from God …. But love brings back all its divine attributes, and therefore the human being can still accomplish much more if he endeavours to live a life of love, for it is his original state into which he enters once he joins Eternal Love through love, when he can now work in union with Me and thus also accomplish everything. But the soul would never reach this goal by its own strength, therefore I placed a small spark of My Eternal Spirit into the soul, and blessed is he who allows himself to be guided by it, blessed is he who listens to its voice …. blessed is he who establishes the connection with the Father-Spirit of Eternity …. For he shall live forever ….

In My Father's house are many mansions ….'
B.D. 5449 from July 26th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
In My Father’s house are many mansions …. Can you understand the meaning of My Words? That I promise you a dwelling in My Father’s house but at the same time want you to know that a suitable abode is prepared to accommodate every one of My living creations …. that I want to tell you, that what you have not yet achieved on earth you can still strive to achieve in My kingdom, because I have countless possibilities to improve your development in the spiritual kingdom. I have not just the earth at My disposal, but all My creations are places to attain full maturity for the still imperfect soul until it has finally developed to the point that, in heavenly bliss, it will be able to take possession of the most magnificent spiritual creations, for wherever it stays is in ‘My Father’s house’, in the sphere of My infinite love, and it will always stay where the Father has prepared a dwelling place which corresponds to its degree of love and its ability to reign and work in the realm to which it was assigned by Me.
In My Father’s house are many mansions …. No being is homeless, the eternal home accepts all souls, yet this home has many different aspects …. it can exhibit the most magnificent flower gardens and wonderful palaces, but it can also include infinitely vast barren regions which take ages to wander through …. yet even in these barren regions paths branch off which lead to areas full of flowers, and it just depends on whether the ramblers pay attention to these paths, whether they attentively try to find a way out from this barren region and also take this way out …. Everyone will be accepted in My eternal home, and everyone has the right to take ownership of a dwelling. But what it consists of is entirely subject to their will.
And therefore I say: In My Father’s house are many mansions …. For every human being, every being, prepares its own place of abode depending on the degree of its perfection. Yet no matter how poor his dwelling is …. through his will and his work it can really quickly be transformed, and the most delightful homesteads can arise if only the soul has the desire for it and diligently strives for fulfilment. In that case it will be supported by countless helpers who will create and work with the soul, and it can become a paradise-like dwelling place where previously was a barren and bleak region …. One day every soul will return to its true home, but as long as it is still imperfect it will feel homeless, although it will have already entered the kingdom from whence it once had come. However, I have many schoolhouses, and higher development will advance for sure, even if it often requires a long time …. One day the lost son will return home and reside in the mansion he once owned, he will stay in the Father’s house where all children are gathered around the Father, he will be lovingly received by the Eternal Love, Which will give him a seat next to Himself ….
Yet infinite times will still pass by until all My children have found home again, until they can take up residence in My house; infinite times will still pass by, yet I will not abandon any one of My children …. The Father’s love attracts them, and not one of My children will be able to resist this love forever ….
Amen

Neighbourly love guarantees God's presence ….
B.D. 5450 from July 27th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
Works of neighbourly love, accomplished in complete unselfishness, secure the union with Me, for I Myself Am love, and anyone who abides in love abides in Me and I in him. Thus you have a guarantee of My presence if you practise love. And again, love is the surest weapon against Satan, for where there is love he flees and can then no longer harm you. Now it is understandable that the human being, as long as he lives on earth, is not perfect, that he will time and again fall back into his weaknesses and faults even if he seriously endeavours to live in and according to My will …. And then My adversary will also try to get hold of him time and again; he will want to influence the person to sin, he will try to seize him where he is weak …. But to the same extent I will also be ready to protect him, certainly in consideration of his free will. However, just as evil currents from his side affect the human being, so do the waves of My love, and without touching free will a person’s heart willing to love will nevertheless allow itself to be more influenced by My illumination than by Satan’s, because the human being has already willingly professed Me …. It is a battle between light and darkness which, however, is decided by the human being himself, and the darkness will never be victorious over a person who wants to be good, even if he is occasionally afflicted by a weakness of will. Then I will give him strength and he will also accept it ….
Consequently, there are undeniably also people on this earth who are suitable for a mission to spread the pure truth. And I choose these people Myself, recognising in My Wisdom whether they are suitable for it. And even if My adversary will use all his powers of seduction there …. his strength is not stronger than Mine, whereas My love is stronger than his, and this love of Mine captures and fills the human heart which is willing to serve Me. For the latter is the decisive factor as to whether I will grant him My Protection …. since he has voluntarily offered his service to Me and will therefore also rightfully enjoy My Full Protection. Moreover, it must surely be possible for Me to convey the pure truth to people …. However, if no human being were safe from My adversary’s influence it would not be possible to convey the pure truth to humanity either. Nevertheless, you should always seriously scrutinise and not accept what appears dubious to you …. But anyone who strives for pure truth shall also receive it and recognise it as such despite all counter-efforts of the one who campaigns against the truth but can never prevent Me Myself, as the Eternal Truth, from coming to people in the Word, as I have announced through My Word: ‘I will remain with you until the end of the world ….’
Amen

Time of grace …. Serious warning about the end ….
B.D. 5451 from July 29th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
The time of grace will soon be over …. For even the longest time comes to an end, and I have truly been patient with you humans and time and again granted you a respite in order to still save from destruction anyone who uses this respite for the salvation of his soul. For the sake of these few the end will not come sooner, as has been planned since eternity, even though humanity’s spiritual state has long since reached a stage which justifies the destruction, that is, disintegration of the earth. Yet as long as a single soul is still capable of improvement I have mercy and patience and delay the judgement which was announced to you humans through seers and prophets. And yet, even the longest time will come to an end one day …. and according to the plan from eternity everything that was told to you beforehand will be fulfilled. Yet even if I repeatedly call out these admonitions to you, you will not believe them …. and do nothing to improve your spiritual state …. And suddenly and unexpectedly that will happen which signifies the end for you humans who do not listen, an end which you cannot avoid but which will affect you extremely painfully. For it is not the end of your existence, yet the continuation for you, who are unbelievers, is an agonising and endlessly long time until you once again reach the level you were already on when you started your earthly life as a human being. You humans, let yourselves be warned and admonished, no longer live thoughtlessly but seriously consider the state of your souls. And know that for many of you there is no further life in the spiritual kingdom in the beyond but that you remain on earth after the death of your body but are banished into hardest matter, unable to live and yet not extinguished …. You humans, imagine an extremely harsh imprisonment and you will do everything to escape it …. know that an unimaginably harsh imprisonment awaits you if you don’t believe My Words and mend your ways, that is, if you live a way of life according to My will in recognition of Me Myself …. if you don’t believe in Me and keep My commandments. You will have to languish for an infinitely long time, whereas here you only needed to control yourselves for a short time, give up the pleasures of the world and recognise Me as your Lord in order to then be able to live in freedom and bliss for eternity …. I want to save you all from this dreadful fate but only your will can prevent it. And therefore I approach you time and again and tell you what fate you are facing …. Yet one day My Patience and Mercy shall recede, for My Law of Eternity is unchanging and must be fulfilled …. Only a short time is still granted to you until the end …. Use it well and work while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work ….
Amen

Giving out the light presupposes desire for it ….
B.D. 5452 from July 31th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
Light shall become yours, you who desire the light. And therefore My Sun of Grace will also shine into the darkness, rays of light will also flash in the abyss so that the desire for light will be awakened in those souls which have been in darkness for an infinitely long time and cannot leave it on their own. But as soon as a ray of light flashes, the desire to escape the darkness is awakened in some souls, and these souls will also be offered the opportunity; they will be lured out of the abyss, as it were, and slowly and often hesitantly they will follow the ray, and they will be led to where light is abundant but not visible to them in all its brightness because they could not tolerate it as long as they are still dark in spirit …. Beings of light constantly descend to the abyss in order to fetch up those who are willing to follow them. It is not an act of force and also not a seemingly extraordinary process which could determine the souls of darkness to follow them but, as on earth, the soul has to be willing to accept a gift offered to it …. It will perceive the light as a blessing when its resistance against Me has subsided, and then it will also voluntarily follow the messengers of light, even if it only sees them as compassionate souls which it should join. And this willingness is the condition that it will be touched by a ray of light …. For the will of every being in the abyss is known to Me, and I constantly send souls willing to help them in order to lift them up into spheres where they are then offered the opportunity to acquire light for themselves and improve their fate.
(31.7.1952) All souls in the kingdom of the beyond which have reached a certain degree of maturity, which can receive light, carry out redeeming activity, for every soul has to possess light itself if it wants to pass it on to those who still dwell in darkness. But redemptive activity can also be carried out on earth by people who, through a way of life in accordance with My will, are likewise able to receive and pass on light. As soon as they take care of the souls in true neighbourly love which are still in spiritual darkness they will join the group of people who are active in redemption, and they, too, will be recognised by the souls in the kingdom of the beyond as a source of light and strength and will therefore always be surrounded by them, for where only a loving thought applies to the souls in the beyond it will be recognisable to them as a ray of light ….
But where there is love there is also wisdom, light, which chases away the dark spiritual state. Where there is love, the souls who want light are drawn to it, and where there is love they will also always be allowed to receive it …. Once the will and the desire for light has become active in them they will never let up, they will hungrily accept what means nourishment for them, they will strengthen themselves with it so that they can always receive more and more and are likewise now inspired by the will to give away or to point souls of darkness to where light is radiated. Yet, nothing can be given without desire …. The beings should want it freely, on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom …. they must return to Me of their own free will, yet they will always receive loving help, for the light wants to spread and illuminate everything that was dark before …. I want to bestow happiness with My light of love to all beings which willingly open themselves to receive My Light ….
Amen

Submitting your will to God's will ….
B.D. 5453 from August 1st 1952, taken from Book No. 60
I recognise all of you as My servants on earth as soon as you merely submit your will to Me and are therefore willing to do the will of your Lord and Master. Then you will have consciously entered My service, and then I Myself can be active through you, that is, you will now carry out what I would like to do Myself for My earthly children, but for which I need mediators because My direct activity would mean a compulsion of faith. And thus you represent Me Myself, you do everything in My place which you perceive as a task from Me within yourselves, you work for Me and My kingdom, you carry out spiritual work which, although it does not yield any earthly profit, will nevertheless be rewarded by Me Myself one day. What is done for My Kingdom will always be work, which is not recognised by worldly people, which is not valued earthly and is, as it were, regarded as a waste of time, and yet it is the most important work because its effect extends to eternal life, because it can result in eternal successes which will continue to exist when the body passes away. But anyone who has submitted his will to Me also recognises the importance of his service for Me and he will carry it out conscientiously even though he will not receive any earthly recognition for it. But he should regard himself as a fighter for Me who goes into battle against My adversary …. He fights for a holy cause, he fights for the eternal life of many souls who are dependent on his help against the enemy. For by submitting his will to Mine he has much strength at his disposal because he draws it from Me and is therefore suitable as a fighter for Me and My kingdom …. You humans can accomplish nothing on your own but everything with Me …. And the human being must possess this faith in order to offer himself to Me for service. He feels weak himself but is fully confident that he can do everything with My Strength, and he wants to utilise this strength of Mine for Me, he wants to help increase My Kingdom by bringing souls to Me who once fell away from Me and turned to the one who is My adversary. And I accept him because I need many servants and because I only find a few who want to serve Me of their own free will. The army of My fighters is indeed small but strong because it can make unlimited use of My Strength …. And I will bless the small number of those who want to serve Me with love and their labour will not be in vain …. I will also protect them against all attacks by My enemy, who time and again tries to run against them because he knows that they represent a great danger for him and his power. He will use all means to make them apostate from Me, yet My servants will recognise and see through him …. For I enlighten their spirit and they will recognise and fight everything that is dark. Therefore, anyone who wants to serve Me should hand himself over to Me with complete trust and his life will henceforth be in My love and grace; and he will go every way, guided and accompanied by Me …. And he will be able to go wherever he wants, I will always walk beside him and never let him fall into the hands of the enemy …. For I Am a good householder to My servants, Who truly rewards faithful labour ….
Amen

Mission to proclaim the Gospel ….
B.D. 5454 from August 2nd 1952, taken from Book No. 60
And it is My will that My Gospel shall be carried out into the world …. for humanity is ignorant of what it should do in order to become blessed. Although they know My Teaching superficially, and you will not bring anything new to people, yet that which is still dead, which was only words to them without meaning and spirit, shall come alive in them. You are to enliven people with My Word, which comes from above, you are to make My working known to them, which is the result of a living faith, a life of unselfish neighbourly love and the most intimate connection with the One Whom you want to proclaim to them. You should teach them that not everything they want to dismiss and relegate to the realm of fantasy and legends is to be rejected, that profound truth was only distorted by human will and that you bring this truth back to them in its purest form. For there are seekers amongst the masses of people and to them you bring precious gifts which they appreciate and are happy to find …. And because it is My will that you proclaim My Gospel I Myself will support your activity in every way …. I will show starving souls the path to you, anyone who desires light shall see it shine and enter its ray, and I will guide your thoughts so that they will always want what is right once they carry out spiritual work and thus serve Me.
You only feel yourselves to be beings with inferior labour, and yet even the smallest effort can be of greatest blessing, a tiny stone can be set in motion and have a mighty effect, a single Word of Truth can draw ever greater circles and set countless spiritual beings in motion which intervene in people’s thoughts and provide further clarification and thus can kindle light where it is still dark …. Carry the Gospel out into the world, speak where it is appropriate and know that I will always stand by your side if you are active for Me and My Name …. For the time is coming to an end. Therefore help redeem all who are of good will, for you, who know the truth yourselves because you receive it directly from Me, are also able to spread it, for anyone who wants to distribute it must possess it himself, and therefore I will provide for you abundantly so that you can pass on My Gift, for there is great hardship amongst people and you should be constantly active in remedying this hardship. And I will give you My blessing, and all souls will also thank you for leading them from the darkness of the spirit into the light of eternal life ….
Amen

God's Will …. God's Permission ….
B.D. 5455 from August 3rd 1952, taken from Book No. 60
As the Lord of heaven and earth, as Lord of the blissful spiritual kingdom and also of the deepest darkness, I truly have the power to release and bind, that is, to set all imprisoned free and to prevent My opposing forces from utilising their strength if it is not according to My will. And yet I withdraw My will as far as possible because I want to leave all beings, whether good or evil, to their own devices, because I want them to freely determine their own state as independent beings, because I want them to become perfect one day. Therefore I often allow what does not correspond to My will, yet only ever for the purpose that the being itself recognises the wrongness of its thoughts and actions and changes its nature of its own accord.
Yet if I want everything has to obey Me and even the darkest powers will then be unable to offer Me any resistance. And I would also be able to prove this power of Mine to people on earth, yet I Am far more interested in My living creations’ love than in its fear, which would certainly also result in obedience but which is no joy for Me …. I want to gain My living creations’ love, and even the beings from the deepest darkness shall feel My rays of love from time to time so that they will voluntarily turn to Me again. And therefore I do not always let MyPower become effective, even if the actions of people and also of the spiritual beings in darkness often require My Power to intervene …. But I weaken the effect of My adversary’s excessively great misconduct, that is, I leave My living creations the freedom to think and act according to their will, even if what they do is often bad or beyond worse …. But I protect those who are targeted by evil people’s attacks by weakening the effect or turning it into the opposite …. in that, for example, what a person earthly inflicts on his fellow human being with evil intent serves him for the salvation of his soul. Then the human being has seemingly achieved what he intended, to harm his fellow human being in some way, yet the soul of the harmed perosn can derive a benefit from it which amply outweighs the earthly damage …. And yet I have not prevented the former from realising his intention …. I could well do so but I do not, because only in this way can the being itself come to the realisation of its sinfulness. And yet, nothing happens in the entire universe without My Knowledge …. And this should always give you humans the certainty that nothing will come upon you except what I Myself recognise as good for you. In this respect even the evil forces serve Me, for they, too, do not carry out anything that I would not know …. And they cannot harm you humans as long as you are in contact with Me, but they can gain control over you if you detach yourselves from Me through unbelief and unkindness …. Then My adversary will indeed have control over you, yet I will also allow this because I don’t want to force you to turn to Me but the voluntary return has to take place, which can still be postponed indefinitely because this is your free will. Hence you should never blame the evil forces, if you have fallen prey to them …. They cannot force you, just as I do not force you to follow Me, nor will they be prevented by Me in their activity unless you stretch out your hands longingly towards Me in a case of danger from their side …. Then My help is assured to you, as truly as I Am Lord over heaven and earth, over the blissful spiritual kingdom and also over the kingdom of darkness …. Whoever calls upon Me I will deliver from their hands and he will never again need to fear the forces which want to destroy him ….
Amen

The only beatifying church ….
B.D. 5456 from August 4th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
There is no ‘only beatifying church’ if an organisation is meant by this. Anyone belonging to the church founded by Me on earth will become blessed, because his eternal bliss is already guaranteed by the fact that he is a member of My church, that he therefore lives in a faith which has become a living faith through love. It is not the ‘church’ that ensures a person’s beatitude but faith and love …. which might well be entirely missing in spite of belonging to a church supposedly founded by Me but established by people as the ‘only beatifying’ church. Indeed, true members of My church can emerge from every church or school of thought as this is solely determined by faith and love, but no human being can ever belong to this church of Mine who cannot demonstrate its characteristics …. the working of My spirit, which is based on faith and love. My kingdom is not of this world and although My Words were undeniably spoken to the people of this world they nevertheless had a spiritual meaning, because they were meant to help establish My spiritual kingdom, they referred to the kingdom outside of this world, which is everlasting. What I demanded of people was to guarantee their eternal life in the spiritual kingdom, My demands should in fact be fulfilled on earth but not with earthly actions in which the soul could stay detached …. rather the soul has to comply with My will ….
Only the soul has to change itself, and if it genuinely strives to do so it will already be a member of My church, because then the person also has faith and his inner impulse for willing pursuit is My spirit, My voice, to which he will listen and strive to follow. And this working of spirit is proof of membership to My church …. which will later result in blissfulness …. I brought the pure Gospel to people, I enlightened people about everything required to enter My kingdom which is not of this world …. I taught them to love and thus showed them the way which leads into the kingdom of bliss, I gathered around Me all those who so far had been taught wrongly, and thus I was their preacher representing His church and wanting to give its beatifying effect to the people who listened to Him …. Therefore I founded the true church while I lived on earth, and I admitted everyone into it …. Jews, Gentiles, tax collectors and sinners …. and to those who believed in Me, who accepted My teaching and lived accordingly, I sent My spirit after My death, the attribute of My church, which cannot be overcome by the gates of hell ….
But where is the working of the spirit in the church which calls itself the ‘only beatifying church’? My spirit can certainly express itself even there, as long as a connection with My church has been established first, because I alone pour out My spirit and only where the conditions are met which result in a working of My spirit. And that is where the true church of Christ can also be recognised, because no matter what is done to its people, they cannot be defeated or driven away even if hell itself takes action against them …. My church is invincible because it is My work …. it is the only spiritual church which leads to beatitude. No self-righteous Christians can be found in it because they exclude themselves from the community of believers and are therefore not true followers of Christ and neither are they devout representatives of My name when they are put to the test. And this test of faith will be demanded of them, it will be demanded of all who call themselves believers, and then it will be proven who belongs to the true church, the church which I founded Myself. Then the working of My spirit will be proven as well as the strength it can give to those who come under attack for My name’s sake but who gladly acknowledge Me before the world when the decision is demanded.
And then it will also be proven how little the church, which calls itself the only beatifying church, lives up to its promises …. how all its members will leave who did not belong to My church, who then recognise its weakness but not the spiritual value of the church which was built on faith as strong as Peter’s …. Because every one of My Words was and is to be understood spiritually and can only be understood as such when My spirit can work within a person. But then he has a living faith and he will only strive for the kingdom which is not of this world ….
Amen

Wave of awakenings during the last days ….
B.D. 5457 from August 8th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
A large wave of spiritual awakenings is moving across the earth, for the end is near and during the last days many souls shall still be won for the spiritual kingdom. The love of God is infinite and helps wherever people are without strength because they live without love. God’s outpouring of grace flows constantly to people, and where a heart merely opens to receive this flow of grace God’s strength becomes evident and the human being testifies to Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world …. For that reason God’s Word is proclaimed everywhere, but it can only take effect on people if it is preached by someone filled by the spirit of God, who will give life to the Words and therefore also affect the listeners. And during the last days such preachers filled by the spirit of God will arise ever more, and thus they will have been awakened …. The Lord of Heaven and Earth reveals Himself in every way, he speaks through the mouths of many people, yet only if a spiritual awakening has preceded. But then the spirit within the person will impel him to be eagerly active on behalf of God and His kingdom …. But God’s adversary also works to the same extent, and his endeavour is the same: to let people speak on his behalf so that darkness will be spread and that God shall lose his power. The human race lives in confused thinking, it no longer has the gift of discernment, it accepts and rejects entirely arbitrarily, for it is incapable of recognising truth as truth and error as error. And this inability is used by God’s opponent by trying to intersperse the truth with errors …. Where divine revelations are conveyed to earth, where the spirit of God can work in a person, that is where the pure truth exists, and this will also be protected by the One Who wants to reveal Himself through it. The adversary can only exert his influence where the desire for truth is not predominant, where therefore God, the eternal Truth Himself, does not assume first place or where still earthbound thoughts emerge, so that the spirit of God has no unrestricted reign in the person …. Then it recedes and the hostile power gains influence over a person’s thoughts although he believes himself to be instructed by the spirit of God. In that case, however, one cannot speak of a spiritual awakening either, the will might have been present yet he failed to do what is necessary in order to give life to the spirit within himself …. Many people want to hear God speaking and God is also lovingly inclined towards those who desire to hear His Word. Yet whether they will be able to hear His voice depends on the shape of the soul, which is the spiritual ear for God’s voice. But the will to hear God’s Word can also inspire the intellect to form divine Words, which is not to be condemned since the human will does not think anything anti-divine …. Nevertheless, it is not God’s Word which is delivered by the human intellect …. On the other hand, however, a person can deeply desire God’s Word and, filled by this desire, hear Him without being aware that it is God Himself Who speaks through Him …. In that case, he is unconsciously of service to the Lord as someone who is spiritually awakened …. and he speaks the truth, because his desire for it is, at the same time, also a desire for God, which He always grants ….
The awakenings during the last days before the end will particularly emerge where the proclamation of the Gospel is felt as an inner need. That is where the spirit in the person is already working, and then it will clearly express itself insofar as that an unusual talent will come to light, yet only during his service for God and His kingdom. Then a person without any special oratory gift will be able to make good speeches, a person without any special previous knowledge will be able to offer informative clarifications; he will have fluent answers to questions about spiritual things …. The spirit of God will visibly take effect, the person will belong to those who are awakened, who vividly stand up for the Word of God because they will be inwardly impelled by the spirit which continually strives towards the Father-Spirit, which always reveals the divine will to the person and urges him to implement it. This kind of awakening will particularly emerge in congregations where the desire to hear God’s Word predominates, and where God therefore speaks to the congregation through a person …. And the congregation will listen to this person, because the working of God in him will be obvious. But he will speak in his own words, nothing abnormal will come to light, even though he will show talents which he otherwise does not possess. Yet he will not speak in a psychic state, he will not speak automatically, hence he will not be forced to speak such that his mouth forms words uninfluenced by his intellect …. Such proclaiming can also take place but it is not to be regarded as an awakening of the spirit, it is more likely the taking possession of the human will by a being which wants to express itself. In the right kind of awakening the spirit illuminates the human being’s intellect at the same time, it corrects his thinking, thereby enabling the person to speak spiritedly to his listeners, not like an automaton, which brings forth one word after another and betrays a strange power speaking through him …. If this power is evil it can cause tremendous damage; if it is good, the spiritual results can also be good yet they must never be judged to be the same as the working of God’s spirit in a person, which is such a bright illumination of divine strength of love that it is recognisable through increased knowledge and great diligence for God and His kingdom. Hence this applies to the proclamation of the divine Gospel in the congregation, which needs to be paid special attention to during the time of the end. But the spirit of God can also express itself in solitude, it can educate an individual person and impart knowledge to him for a purpose …. Then the spirit of God within a person has equally been awakened through the person himself. And this kind of awakening is also associated with a mission …. the knowledge which is subsequently received by the person shall be passed on, for the Gospel shall be spread in all purity with divine support …. God Himself takes care of people who received the Gospel in a spoilt form and who therefore no longer have the right kind of faith; he will, however, give it back to them by imparting the pure truth to them. To these spiritually enlightened people is God speaking directly, they hear His speech within themselves like clear mental Words, they receive impressive instructions with the purpose of passing them on to people …. Thus God speaks through these people, yet again not in a way that the human being serves God in the form of a speaker but that he, after having received the divine Word, has to activate his own will to pass the divine Word on. This working of the spirit is insofar significant as that it establishes a foundation again, so that people can be introduced to the fundamental truth, so that God Himself can instruct the human race and thereby every doubt can be refuted, every error exposed and every wrong interpretation corrected …. so that the pure Gospel can therefore be proclaimed by God Himself, received through a person in whom His spirit can be active, and recorded by his will to be of service to God and to people. Spiritually awakened people will always serve God with enthusiasm and conviction, and that in different ways …. Thus the spirit of God is always active in them, which guides their thinking and intentions correctly, which provides them with unusual strength to seriously work for the kingdom of God …. And such awakenings will happen frequently during the last days, yet where this is possible the spirit of God manifests itself unusually, because His love and wisdom recognise what is beneficial for the salvation of the human race. He knows His servants and assigns to them the work they are capable of doing. He works in public like in solitude; according to His wise Judgment He appoints positions to those who are capable of administering them well …. And thus the tasks he gives to His servants are different; yet they all work for His kingdom and are of service to Him, and the work of every individual person will be blessed ….
Amen

Power of light from above …. Deceptive light of Satan ….
B.D. 5458 from August 10th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
An exceedingly bright light shines where divine truth is conveyed to earth. And where there is light, the path can also be clearly recognised and man cannot go astray. Thus truth is the signpost to Me …. But truth is not readily accepted and therefore people often go astray where they could easily find the right path …. But this is a sign that the end is near, for in the end the darkness will be so great that no-one will find the path to Me anymore, for Satan rages as he has never raged before. He knows that his time is up and therefore does everything to extinguish the light, to darken the path, because in the darkness he still has the power, whereas the light lets Me be clearly recognised and people longingly stretch out their hands towards Me, who walk the illuminated path …. My adversary therefore loses them for good …. And thus you humans also know that and why the pure truth, which originated from Me Myself, is being opposed everywhere …. You will now understand that the acceptance of truth is a rarity, whereas the majority of people reject what alone could lead to their salvation …. A bearer of light cannot indeed be attacked because I Myself protect him, yet he will be pressurised from all sides to let the light fall, people will want to make the gentle glow of the heavenly light fade through dazzling and deceptive lights, they will often want to veil it because they fear the glow if it illuminates the night in which people feel comfortable because they shy away from the light in their sinfulness …. Satan will send companions to the light bearers who will seemingly place themselves in the light, but who will try to block it out so that it loses its effect. Yet the light from above has great power …. It will always illuminate the path that leads upwards. It will chase away the many shadows and dark figures so that they cannot oppress those who walk on this path with their eyes turned towards Me. For even if Satan has great power in the end, he will succumb to My light of love from above, and that is why all those who are in his service flee from it, they seek out deceptive lights which only blind their eyes and thus make them feel the darkness even more strongly than before. My Word is truth, My Word is the light which shines so brightly that all untruth is uncovered; and therefore no-one need fear the darkness who receives My pure Word from above into his heart …. Satan has lost his power over him, for I have already taken possession of him and will never again abandon him or let him fall into his hands ….

"Watch and pray …."
B.D. 5459 from August 11th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
Words of love also have the divine spirit in them. That is why you may accept everything as good which lets you recognise love. However, you must nevertheless scrutinise the origin of these words and not blindly assume a divine origin, since such a belief can easily lead to error. Therefore test everything and keep the best, and ask your heart what it says about it, for the heart will not deceive you if you earnestly desire to stand in the truth:
You will certainly also receive admonitions from the kingdom on the other side, because the beings of light regard you as their co-workers and the souls you want to help also take an interest in your fate on earth, for even more mature souls are able to foresee and urge you to pay attention in order to avert disaster for you at the same time, yet they do not know the day and hour since their concept of time is unclear to them. Yet they will not deliberately misinform you, for they love you and only want to do you good. That is why they will not be hindered when they want to warn you because their will is good. But you humans should always be vigilant, you should not walk blindly and you should remain connected to God …. But then you will also go your way peacefully despite earthly hardship, for it will affect you less the more you are connected to the One Who alone can help you. Furthermore, it is good for you if you pay attention to everything that can cause you unrest …. Watch and pray …. For you are always in danger of being oppressed by the tempter. But to watch means to always be on the lookout to see if the enemy is approaching you, to be vigilant means not to put yourselves in danger, to recognise the danger in good time and to avoid it …. Something often seems insignificant and yet can have serious consequences; it can be a real danger for you if you do not watch and pray for protection and help. For the enemy of your soul lays snares to catch you, and the unwary, the gullible and the reckless fall into them and become his prey …. Therefore watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation …. Satan’s power is great, but God’s love is even greater, and it applies to all those who are sincere and of good will and humbly ask for His Mercy. Then no disaster will happen, He will protect them earthly and spiritually and save them from temporal and eternal destruction, and the beings in the beyond will also intervene to help if they know that their protégés are in need ….
Amen

God-inclined will is the passed test on earth ….
B.D. 5460 from August 12th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
Those of you who looked for and found Me will never ever lose Me again. Admittedly, as long as you live on earth you are exposed to My adversary’s influence, yet once a person’s will has turned to Me I will have taken hold of him and prevent his relapse into the abyss. However, I Am talking about a serious person’s will who strives to Me in a fully conscious state …. Where this seriousness is not yet present My adversary can certainly still succeed in pushing him away from Me, for there are people who, through upbringing or discussions with others, have more or less become followers, who thus join their fellow human beings but not because of the inner desire to hasten towards the Father they recognised in Me. But where this inner desire has awoken in a person My Fatherly love becomes active …. I constantly coax and call this person, I take hold of him and never let go of him again. He is already released from Satan’s chain even though the latter will not stop in his efforts to win him back until I recall the person into My kingdom. A will which is seriously inclined towards Me is the most certain guarantee that a person will gain Me and My kingdom …. For I give him strength because I long for My child Myself and his will has already passed the test on earth. It is merely a matter of decision for Me or for My adversary …. The serious will is the decision, precisely because this will had turned away from Me in the past and the return to Me must therefore be accomplished willingly …. I judge the will and not mere words which are not serious but most certainly recognisable by Me as mere words, which are voiced by the mouth or are thought but which the heart is unaware of …. Nevertheless, once the will for Me has awakened the human being will incessantly strive towards higher spheres. For as soon as he receives My strength as a result of his change of will he will use it for spiritual striving. He will have effectively joined Me already, I will be walking next to him, I will just not be recognised by him as long as he is still weak in love …. But once the love in him grows stronger My image will become increasingly clearer until he has accepted Me Myself through the love in him and then he will also recognise that he can no longer descend into the abyss, because I do not relinquish what belongs to Me and voluntarily has become My Own. You will never ever be able to separate yourselves from Me again if you passed the test of earthly life, insofar as that your will has chosen Me. Then earthly life can only contribute towards a higher maturity of soul, you will be consciously of service to Me and faithful to Me until I recall you into My kingdom when your hour has come ….

The inner Word …. Light …. Truth ….
B.D. 5461a from August 14th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
The divine spirit instructs you correctly and if you allow it to speak you cannot live in error, for then God Himself will reveal the pure truth to you through His spirit, He will give to you what you ask for or what you need …. For He gives with love and wisdom as it benefits each person’s soul. Consequently, wherever God’s love and wisdom is working you humans only receive that which helps to advance your soul’s maturity. And at the same time the attribute of divine activity is shown, if it helps the soul to progress, if it therefore has an educational value so that it helps a person to attain perfection. You can use this as a guideline if you are in doubt as to whether you should accept something as divine activity …. Everything that helps a person to become psychologically mature is good and should therefore be acknowledged as being imparted to a person through God’s spirit. Nevertheless, it still has to be scrutinised in which way God’s spirit has affected the person who wants this spiritual information to be acknowledged as divine revelation. God’s spirit puts thoughts into order, in a manner of speaking, it enlightens a person’s thinking, and thus he can’t help himself but to think and speak as is right. His intellect starts to function in the right way, and one can therefore speak of virtuous thinking which is in accordance to God’s will, which can result in many blessings for fellow human beings, because the former will never speak anything but good and on behalf of God and is therefore also especially blessed. And God will always guide his thoughts correctly if he wants to speak on His behalf and His kingdom …. Hence, the divine spirit certainly works in every person yet not so conspicuously that God expresses Himself through a person’s mouth …. that therefore the divine voice Itself speaks in a person, who indeed speaks on behalf of God and His kingdom, yet not as an obvious instrument which is consciously of service to Him ….

The inner Word …. Light …. Truth ….
B.D. 5461b from August 15th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
I certainly speak mentally with many people who desire to hear Me, and they can indeed consider themselves addressed by Me, yet there are also instances when I manifest Myself in extraordinary ways for the sake of a special mission …. But these extraordinary instances do not infer that all mental knowledge of a person, even it corresponds to My will, was imparted to him through the ‘inner Word’ …. It concerns the transference of the pure truth to earth …. This requires a state which excludes all error; hence a person, who receives the pure truth from Me through the inner Word, must first have shaped himself such that he is able to hear the Word, audibly or mentally …. Time and again I have to emphasise the fact that I know a person’s heart and can only assign a mission to him if he is capable of accomplishing it. And I only rarely find this ability because people’s willingness to love is only small and only love can develop the ability in a person to accept spiritual messages. In the last days it has become urgently necessary that the truth should be conveyed to people because almost every religious dogma has been distorted. To convey truth therefore means: to correct misguided teachings and to explain the correlation of everything in existence; to bring people the truth means to provide people with a right concept of their Creator and Father so that they will believe in Him and be able to love Him ….
Through the transference of truth it is intended that people learn to think and conduct themselves correctly and to comply with their purpose of earthly life.
The truth is something so hotly disputed that it is truly not easy to give it to all people, for as long as people don’t desire it seriously or if they fail to recognise it, it will therefore be rejected by those who think wrongly because they live entirely without love. For love and truth cannot be separated because they are the eternal Deity’s concepts …. Hence, it should be understandable to you that the transference of the pure truth to a person requires very special abilities, that not everyone is suitable for it, although I would like to impart the truth to every person I cannot do so by means of My direct speech, because not every person is able to hear Me since his soul is not shaped such that it can perceive spiritual sounds with its spiritual ear. Only few people are capable of this and of these few only some individuals offer their services, and this mission of receiving the truth form Me and spreading it on My instructions is only possible in free will. And again I reiterate that light is meant to be spread …. that the spiritual darkness on earth motivates Me to send light to people, but light always signifies knowledge of the pure truth …. I want to illuminate people’s spiritual state, hence I must convey the kind of information to them which corresponds to the truth. And this is only possible by revealing Myself through My direct communication to a person who is suitable to accept it. But merely the will to be of service to Me is not enough, it also requires the faculty of hearing …. not everyone who has the will is suitable, just as, vice versa, the soul’s ability to understand My Word is not decisive if the will to be of service to Me is lacking. Therefore it follows that I have only a few servants and handmaidens who are able to achieve this mission, but that I take particular care of these few and won’t allow them to be prevented from implementing their mission, because this is urgently required during the last days before the end, when only the pure truth can guard against the fall into the abyss, and therefore the pure truth has to be conveyed by Me to earth so that all those of good will can still be saved ….

Divine law: Serve in love ….
B.D. 5462 from August 16th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
In heaven and on earth only one law applies …. to serve in love …. Serving love is infinitely blissful, it is a desire to please in an infinite variety of ways. Anyone who serves with love, be it on earth or in the spiritual kingdom, has reached a degree of maturity in which he realises that he is seized by God’s love, and this blissful certainty stimulates him to ever more eager activity of love, and he now fulfils his actual purpose of his own accord because divine will now also fills him through the presence of God, which is the certain result of the working of love. Where the law of love is fulfilled, everything is also in divine order, for the law is based on love …. Disorder only occurs where there is a lack of love, because negative forces are at work where the divine power of love cannot take effect. However, decay, decline, destruction and chaos can also be recognised there. Love is therefore the sustaining, constructive, nurturing and organising force …. It can be absent or even reversed …. But then the creatures step out of order and are unhappy. And every unloving act destroys what love builds up, which is why you humans should be extremely careful if you don’t want to weaken yourselves, if you don’t want to deprive yourselves of the strength you have at your disposal if you live in love. Love is powerful and always has a positive effect, which is why it is also extremely soothing. Nevertheless, love can also seemingly inflict wounds, but eternal healing is then the goal and thus it nevertheless remains love …. And this is why Eternal Love sometimes resorts to means which appear unloving in order to ensure eternal healing for its creatures, which is why God’s Plan of Salvation includes events which do not reveal God’s love and yet are determined by His infinite love …. But where disorder has occurred, order must be restored, the principle of love must prevail in heaven and on earth if the creatures are to be granted a blessed fate. Everyone should serve and please each other, love should be the driving force behind all actions, then God, Who is present in every work of love, will always be present, and then disaster can never again occur but bliss and peace will reign where there is love ….
Amen

The will determines the thoughts …. Responsibility ….
B.D. 5463 from August 17th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
Thoughts are born out of the human being’s will, for the spiritual forces in the beyond can work as his will is and convey their thought currents to the human being …. Thoughts are always expressions of those forces which are accepted where the human being’s will corresponds to that of the spiritual transmitter …. Thus the spiritual forces intervene in the organic activity as soon as the human being himself forms thoughts …. and the content of these thoughts is the spiritual knowledge possessed by the spiritual forces. And thus the human being’s thinking is, as it were, stimulated by these spiritual forces, but they cannot forcibly influence the human being’s thinking, instead, the spiritual forces become active in accordance with the good or evil directed will, so that it is therefore up to the human being himself which spiritual information he mentally accepts, whether it affects him from the kingdom of light or from the kingdom of darkness, whether it is truth or error, for he himself also determines the beings which impart their mental information to him through his direction of will. The will determines thinking …. Thus the human being is responsible for his thinking. And therefore there is only one way to be relieved of responsibility …. if the human being trustingly hands himself over to God and the beings of the world of light so that his will and thoughts will be directed correctly …. Then the human being need not fear misguided thoughts, then he will be guided and led into right thinking, then beings of light will take responsibility and they will truly only exert the influence on the human being which promotes good and right thoughts. He need not fear anything if he commends himself to the Heavenly Father before every decision, before every thought activity which requires right thinking, if he asks all good beings for protection and help. Then his thinking will be right, because then the beings of darkness will not be able to gain access, then they will not be able to cause confusion in any area whatsoever. A good will turned towards God protects the human being from erroneous thinking. But you humans nevertheless have hours when your thoughts, that is, your will, are turned towards the world again, and God’s adversary uses this to invalidate what good beings have conveyed to you. Then doubt sets in and the opposing forces immediately take effect. The desire for the world can hand you over to these opposing forces, for the bond with God, with the World of Light, is loosened by every thought which is still directed towards the world, by every desire which does not have spiritual goals. This is why every person should observe how far he is still earthly minded, he should loosen every earthly bond as far as possible in decisive questions, he should unreservedly devote himself to the spiritual world of light and he will then always be certain of being cared for by it, he will speak and think as is right before God and also feel the inner steadfastness as soon as he represents the thoughts which were imparted to him in this connection ….

Redemption of souls from the depths …. Ray of light …. Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 5464 from August 18th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
It is indescribably blissful to have opened the gates into the kingdom of light for a soul which had previously been held back by dark forces and was unhappy. It was not God’s Grace that opened the way for her, but her will turned towards the light and His Grace helped her to escape the darkness. Darkness must release every soul that desires light. It is a perpetual endeavour on the part of the World of Light to awaken the desire for light in those beings. That is why rays of light flash everywhere, also in the deep, which however do not touch all beings beneficially but only those whose resistance against God has diminished a little, and for these souls the rays of light also shine now and then because God knows when the time has come when the souls are accessible to the light. Yet, the light never compels, it merely stimulates the souls’ will to follow the ray of light. The beings of light then approach these souls, unrecognised indeed, yet offering them their help, and it is then up to the souls again as to whether they accept the help …. Often they still remain in resistance and then it is dark around them again, and they now experience this darkness even more agonisingly and their desire for light becomes ever stronger. Yet as soon as the darkness torments a soul, the time is not far away when it starts to become luminous …. And the already mature souls around it eagerly endeavour to provide it with light. For souls who enjoy the bliss of light themselves repeatedly turn to those souls in the depths with compassion. Love grows with the abundance of light they themselves receive and therefore a redemption of the souls from the abyss will certainly take place. Yet since every being’s free will has to become active itself, it often takes a long time …. But the helpers are indescribably happy once they have succeeded in drawing a soul into their circle and their need has now come to an end …. For now there is one more helper to take part in the work of redemption. To have helped a single soul means to have again prepared the way for its followers, which leads upwards. For every rescued soul wants to help its own again in its love, which has now been kindled, and it remembers the need of those in the depths. And its will to help will never remain unsuccessful because it analyses its own experience and starts where it has suffered itself …. that it preaches faith in Jesus Christ to all those it wants to help …. If the distress of a soul who has been taught about it becomes unbearable, it will nevertheless turn to Him in its distress, Who has been presented to it as Saviour …. it calls out in its great distress and is heard. For Jesus Christ only waits for the call that expresses the soul’s will in order to help it. His Name holds the greatest power and the greatest secret …. faith in Him can also still be found in the spiritual kingdom, and every soul of light endeavours to awaken this faith, its love gives it strength and it will not let up until the kingdom of light opens its gates again for those longing to ascend from the abyss, for Jesus Christ’s mercy and love is infinite, and His Work of Salvation shall be continued in the spiritual kingdom, for He it is His will that all His created beings become blissfully happy ….

Spiritual hardship can only be remedied by spreading the pure Gospel ….
B.D. 5465 from August 19th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
Only the concern for people’s spiritual state must be taken seriously, for this concern has to be remedied by people themselves. By no means can pressure be exercised but instead the human being’s free will has to decide to actively work for the soul’s maturity, and this free will can indeed be influenced, but never be forced. But in the last days the human being completely submits himself of his own free will to his adversary; this is why the souls’ state of maturity is particularly dismal and My love accomplishes little, the end comes ever closer and the earthly world with all its attractions and goods will perish; and only the souls will remain, which are in such dreadful shape that they cannot be admitted into My kingdom since due to their attitude they are part of My adversary and therefore Satan’s servants. Only a few have reached the degree of maturity because their will had turned to Me of its own accord and therefore people also recognise Me. Their souls’ became receptive to light, they recognised the importance of their earthly task and lived their life on earth accordingly. The general public, however, lives superficially and does not consider the soul’s life after death because it does not believe in it. And that is the great hardship which motivates Me to send a light amongst people everywhere, to instruct My messengers everywhere to proclaim My Gospel and to lead people back to faith, which is absolutely essential so that people will be able to turn to Me when they are in trouble.
Nevertheless, whoever wants to spread light must have received it from Me Myself first …. I can only use those people for the distribution of the Gospel who have light themselves, who let themselves be permeated by Me with the light of eternal life, with the one and only Truth. I cannot send everyone into the world, for even if there is good will to work for Me, only the spreading of the truth is useful and that can only be received from Me Myself, i.e. a human being can only realise the truth if My spirit is able to work in him, and this working of the spirit necessitates the fulfilment of conditions. However, everyone who is willing to fulfil these conditions is accepted by Me as a labourer in My vineyard. For there is great hardship on earth, and I only want to control this hardship through My faithful servants on earth, time and again I want to awaken people who receive My Word directly and pass it on to those who are willing to listen to it. People’s souls are in great danger, they are completely immature and soon will have to depart from this earth …. Their state of maturity, however, determines their fate in eternity. Only My pure Gospel can still save people and raise their state of maturity. For it originates from Me, it harbours spiritual strength and can have a revitalising effect on the souls, providing the human being willingly allows himself to be affected by the strength of the divine Word …. He will bless the hour when My Word was made accessible to him, for only My Word can save the soul from eternal death ….

Testing the strength of the divine Word in adversity ….
B.D. 5466 from August 20th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
You are all to test the power of My Word if you are in trouble, if you are burdened by spiritual or earthly worries. My Word will always be the right help for you, it will give you comfort and strength, it will lift you up, it will be a counsellor on Whom you can truly rely, for I Myself Am with you in the Word and I shall never leave you without help, without advice and without strength. My Word will also show you the path you should take in order to get rid of your worries, through My Word I will also tell you when and where you are doing wrong and how you can get back on the right path if you have left it. My Word is always the bond between us, and thus, if you accept My Word within yourselves, you will draw Me to yourselves and then you will also present your heart’s desire to Me, I can gain insight into your world of thoughts because you allow Me to be present within you as soon as you listen to My Word in your desire for Me. Put yourselves to the test if you are burdened with all kinds of worries …. Take refuge in My Word and the burden will fall away from you, your heart will become light and free if you sincerely desire that I speak to you Myself. The power of My Word is strong enough to lift the burdens that weigh you down. My Word is My address to you, which will truly touch you such that you will be rid of all worries and anxiety, you just have to let it have an effect on you, you have to let Me speak to you, because I would like to give you comfort and strength at all times but can only do so where I am approached vividly for it. However, anyone who takes refuge in My Word in the adversity of body and soul demonstrates faith in My love and My power to be able to help him and he shall also be helped. Let Me speak to you again and again in the Word so that I can now have an effect on you with My grace and My strength. The bond you enter into with Me in the desire to hear Me Myself in the Word shall also enable you to grasp everything I want to tell you, you will recognise your faults, you will recognise the cause of your worries and My will shall become apparent to you as to how you can fight your faults and weaknesses …. I will help you in word and deed to become masters of your worries, for all evil will only come upon you so that you take refuge in Me and turn to Me for help and listen to Me when I speak to you …. I Myself Am with you in the Word and therefore My Word shall fill you with strength as soon as you need it ….
Amen

Satan rages with increased power …. Last days ….
B.D. 5467 from August 21st 1952, taken from Book No. 60
The signs pointing to the end will grow …. And Satan’s activity will emerge ever more distinctly, for all those who are striving towards Me will get to feel his hostile actions. He will try to plunge them into doubt and confusion, and often not without success. Even so, I will protect My Own and highlight his activity so that it will be evident to anyone who seriously aims towards Me. They are the signs of the time, for the forces of darkness work incessantly because the end is approaching …. Therefore I say to you: watch and pray and simply turn to Me at all times, then he will not be able to harm you. Light and darkness fight each other because the darkness hates the light and will therefore always manifest itself as a shadow where a bright light is shining. But I also have the power to dispel such shadows, and the light will shine brighter than ever. Yet you may never enjoy harmony, it will remain a constant battle with My adversary for as long as you live on earth. Up to the end he will make an effort to harm you because he knows that he has lost you, and because he believes he can regain you again. Hostilities on the part of his enslaved followers will mount ever more the brighter you shine, which he can see full well. Nevertheless, he hates the light because he hates the truth, and as a result he fights the truth …. Therefore, for as long as your effort on earth is to spread the truth, to carry My Word to your fellow human beings, he will also pursue you as an enemy and will try to corrupt you. And he will publicly attack the truth, he will try to defame you all, who support the truth, he will portray you as imposters in order to also undermine the spiritual information you advocate …. and yet, he will not succeed against you because I Myself stand behind you and the truth. However, he will succeed in scattering you, My representatives, he will succeed in isolating you because cooperation is not to his liking since he expects to be more successful by fighting the individual. Yet even then I will still protect the light, the pure truth, which he will not be able to invalidate. However, you should watch and pray …. for you are always at risk of weakening if you don’t call upon Me for protection against all hostilities by the adversary. For the end is near, and even if he rages with increased power …. his time has come to be bound, as it is written. And the truth will prevail and help everyone towards beatitude who listens and accepts the light which I let shine in order to help them escape the spiritual darkness, the night of death, to attain light, to attain life and, through the truth, become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Forces of heaven are unusually active …. Help through people ….
B.D. 5468 from August 22nd 1952, taken from Book No. 60
In times of deepest spiritual trouble all powers of heaven are active to help men on earth. Without such spiritual help they sink hopelessly into the abyss, without spiritual help the forces of darkness pull them down, for they are weak-willed on their own and do not fight for their spiritual life. The life of the soul is in danger and so help can only be brought to people spiritually. And therefore the beings of light try to intervene in people’s thoughts and spur them on to fight against their spiritual downfall …. They try to influence the human being so that he will learn to recognise the world for what it is, that he will recognise its worthlessness and its transience …. Only then will the human being think about what exists beyond the earthly world, what will happen to him after the death of his body. Yet the beings of light do not often succeed in arousing such thoughts in people unless they are helped by a fellow human being who comes forward with such questions and thoughts where several are gathered …. unless areas are touched upon in the form of conversations which then give rise to questions and thus enable the light beings to enter people’s thoughts. All forces of heaven are active and they truly work diligently on sick humanity as soon as their work is supported by a person on earth, but this can only happen when devout people turn their faith outwards so that it can be recognised by their fellow human beings. A deeply believing person cannot remain silent about his faith towards his fellow human beings, for it makes him happy and fills him with the desire to be able to give it to everyone. A person must first be imbued with it himself before he gives it away out of inner impulse. And therefore the beings of light will first express themselves where they recognise the willingness to be taught, and they will not miss such an opportunity because they can now impart to countless souls what they lack. For the open-minded person will not miss an opportunity to pass on what he has received and what makes him happy. The spiritual world is extremely active in the last days before the end, as it is at the same time also a counteracting of Satan, who unscrupulously tries to mislead people and is also supported by his servants. It is a battle that will not cease and will be particularly fierce in the last days. However, according to God’s Will the beings of light appear in an unusual way, and where there is only the slightest possibility of achieving spiritual success He Himself will help, sometimes in an extraordinary way. It is a matter of snatching the soul from death, awakening it to life and keeping it alive …. And He blesses all those in heaven and on earth who are committed to it, who become active in order to save souls from eternal ruin, and because there is not much time left until the end He often helps where only a willing soul offers to be active for Him. Yet everything must take place within the framework of nature, the Law of Eternal Order must not be circumvented. But you humans need only want it and you will be helped, you will be able to escape Satan’s power, for the beings of light are always ready and approach you with great love, likewise people on earth are also willing to participate in the redemption work and provide enlightenment where it is requested …. The end is near and with it the Last Judgment …. but God’s Mercy will try to save first those who still walk in darkness, and His love and His Power are immense, and no-one need go astray …. yet He does not compel, for the human being’s will is free ….
Amen

Everyone can hear God's speech …. in form of thoughts ….
B.D. 5469 from August 23rd 1952, taken from Book No. 60
I impart to you the Word of love, of comfort and of encouragement, and wherever you lack knowledge I will always enlighten you, but you must establish a connection with Me yourselves otherwise I cannot speak to you …. However, My speech will not always be heard by you, rather, your thoughts will noticeably shape themselves in such a way as I want to speak to you, providing you pay attention to it and wait until My communication has been received by you. For this much I want to say to you: As soon as you merely think of Me, speak to Me in prayer or call upon Me for help My love will already be with you …. You will not speak in vain, but I hear all your thoughts and will also answer you. However, only few people wait for My answer, only few people are so profoundly devout that they are convinced of My reply, therefore I can only seldom make Myself known to a person so that he can recognise My clear answer in his feelings and thoughts …. Not a single word you speak to Me in deep devotion goes astray, and not a single word will be left unanswered by Me ….
Even so, your soul very often disregards something which would make it extremely happy. You have not developed your spiritual ear as yet and therefore don’t perceive the response of My love …. All those of you who make contact with Me in heartfelt prayer can consider yourselves addressed by Me …. but if you also want to understand My speech, which you all yearn to hear, then you must train your spiritual ear, for you all should strive to achieve this task, because it would make your earthly life considerably easier since it is truly blissful to be able to hear My speech which, without exception, applies to all those of you who enter into heartfelt communication with Me. You would all draw much strength and comfort from My speech, which will only ever be perceived by you in the form of feelings and thoughts, which could provide you with inner serenity and the feeling of security, hence you would truly be comforted and strengthened by My Fatherly love which constantly applies to all of His children. Consequently you should, after you have prayed to Me in spirit and in truth, wait and remain in thought of Me and you will sense My presence, and your soul will receive the gift of My Fatherly love …. For I draw all those towards Me who call upon Me, who enter into heartfelt conversation with Me, and I want to give to them whatever makes them happy ….
Amen

Guarantee of God's presence: works of love …. Acceptance of the Word ….
B.D. 5470 from August 24th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
I Am always present to you as soon as you carry out a loving activity. And this shall also be your guarantee that you will then also think and speak correctly, because I Myself will not allow your mouth to utter error. Hence it is impossible for a good person, who always endeavours to fulfil My Commandment of Love, to think wrongly …. Yet it is quite possible that he was previously led into wrong knowledge and does not think about whether it is the truth …., that he therefore represents teachings as truth because the real truth has not yet been conveyed to him and he does not doubt it. But then all it takes is a nudge, an awakening of his intellect, and he will then be taught by the spirit within himself in a way which corresponds to the truth. I Myself also allow doubts to arise in people who are active in love in order to then be able to convey the truth to them through My Spirit. But emotionally the person will always come close to the truth because his loving activity guarantees it, because I Myself Am in him if he carries out works of love …. This is why you, My servants on earth, will rarely encounter resistance from loving people when proclaiming the pure Gospel, but you will experience great resistance where the person is without love …. And this goes without saying because I Myself Am Love and also the Truth …. My adversary, however, is of a dark spirit and devoid of all love and therefore the characteristics of the one who can work in people are quite obvious …. Therefore, without love, the truth can neither be recognised nor accepted, and therefore your first endeavour should be to convey the teaching of love to your fellow human beings, to make them aware of the effect of a life of love and the consequences of the opposite, for love is and remains the fundamental principle without which there can be no truth and no faith either. Knowing everything else is not as necessary as knowing that without love no-one can be saved. But as soon as a person lives in love, other knowledge is also made accessible to him and he realises the truth of it with a clear spirit because love within him is the key to wisdom. You can achieve everything as soon as you live in love …. You attract Me through every work of love and along with Me the truth at the same time, the knowledge of spiritual correlations, you are introduced to the deepest secrets and will also be able to understand them because your spirit is enlightened through love and brightly and clearly gives you information about everything that makes you happy and promotes your spiritual development. Therefore practise neighbourly love and thereby come close to Me Myself, and you shall truly feel My closeness in a blissful way, for I will give you everything you need and which will help you to become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Shortening of the days …. No shortcoming for the people ….
B.D. 5471 from August 25th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
People’s spiritual development is only progressing minimally, an alarming state has arisen, only a few people are increasing their degree of maturity but the whole remains on the same level with visible deviations downwards. And if the Eternal Plan of Salvation did not provide for an end to this earth, even those people with a higher degree of maturity would be thrown back into the abyss. But God has shortened the days for the sake of the chosen …. The complete decay and apostasy from God can no longer be stopped, which is why a shortening of the days is no longer a shortcoming for fallen humanity but still a salvation for those who are only able to hold their ground with difficulty and who have to struggle terribly in order to resist the onslaught from below. Humanity is heading towards the end because people are hastening it itself, because the days are being shortened for the sake of the salvation of the believers; people are only hastening the end because it is clearly recognisable that there is no more salvation for people and therefore their days are not being shortened as they could still be saved …. They have finally decided in favour of God’s adversary and therefore only His children shall still be helped so that they will stand firm during the last tribulation on this earth. And thus salvation will come suddenly and unexpectedly for these children of God …. before they falter, for Satan won’t stop until he is bound. All possibilities shall be used beforehand in order to still promote people’s spiritual development …. yet without success, as God knows since eternity …. People will not be open to any admonition or warning, they only know one goal, to live on earth in joy and pleasure …. and everything that could prevent them from doing so, they will reject and attack it. They mock God and even more His servants. The time has come of which it is written: “It will be as in the days of Noah, when they ate and drank and let themselves be courted …. until the day of judgement. People will truly lose nothing when the earth is destroyed, for what they possess is so worthless and what is of value they no longer strive for, but the sooner these people’s lives are over, the sooner they will set out on the path that will one day lead to the heights again …. There is no longer a long time, for the days will be shortened for the sake of the chosen …. Therefore, if the conditions of life seem unbearable to you, who want to remain faithful to God, remember that you will receive strength to persevere until the end, and that this end will not be long in coming, for the promise will be fulfilled that God will shorten the days for the sake of the elect in order to help them attain eternal bliss ….
Amen

Explanation of cases of possession ….
B.D. 5472 from August 26th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
I always want to instruct My children correctly and give them knowledge, and it is My will that they also instruct those who are ignorant: It is a great danger for people if they do not turn to Me in cases of earthly adversity but want to overcome their adversity with their own strength and dogged defiance and then succeed …. But then it was not their own strength but their attitude, the unconscious inner rejection of Me Myself, which allowed the forces of darkness to supply them with strength from below and thus also to seize the human being’s soul in order to gain more and more influence. The human being need not be outwardly recognisable as bad, yet in pride and arrogance and in earthly wealth the signs are recognisable that the power from below has taken possession of him. Omissions of good deeds without self-interest, insensitivity towards the hardship of fellow human beings and excessive hedonism only ever reveal the worldly person who has no bond with Me but who cannot be proven to have openly violated the law either …. He stands upright and righteous before his fellow human beings but his soul is without love and without faith in Me. And his end is not a happy one, the earth keeps him bound, he still desires its goods in the beyond because he has nothing else and his worldly greed was great …. This human being was thus bound by dark forces and yet they did not succeed in making his soul so submissive that he committed downright evil deeds. Although they prevented him from reaching Me, they had not yet completely taken possession of him …. And therefore they now try to continue their endeavours where similar dispositions, similar thinking and weak will can be recognised, which is most likely to be found among the earthly descendants, and this can be successful for many generations, but thinking turned towards Me can also weaken their (his) effect or make it completely impossible. Those people can also only be oppressed temporarily but then so strongly that one could speak of it as case of possession. These forces rage particularly badly when they recognise their lack of success, when people repeatedly strive towards Me in their thinking and willing. And this can be possible as long as the soul of the former has not yet found redemption, as long as it allows these forces to take up residence in that which originates from it through its own wrong will and desire. People themselves could indeed liberate themselves through heartfelt prayer to Me, through a living bond and profound faith …. Yet they lack this and reject My Gifts of Strength, influenced by those forces which fiercely wrestle for souls. But as soon as the soul is redeemed in the beyond, the power of the dark force is also broken. And this is why I especially encourage you to help those souls because they are too weak on their own …. Pray that they will know about Me and My love, that they will call upon Me for help and this will be granted to them, and at the same time the souls on earth which are under the influence of the forces which were once granted power over a person who did not call upon Me for help but drew strength from My adversary in order to master earthly life will also find deliverance.
Amen

Rescue of a single soul …. Large contingent ….
B.D. 5473 from August 28th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
The work which you, My servants, have offered yourselves to accomplish is not yet complete. There are still isolated people whose souls are willing to accept My Word and not all of these souls have yet received My Word …. But I will not rest until even the last soul still to be saved has found its way to Me, and I will not let the judgement come upon the earth any sooner because every soul is unspeakably dear to Me and I want to win it before the end comes. Yet the judgement is imminent …. You, My servants, therefore have the task of eagerly looking out for ways in which you can still win souls. You must not let any opportunity pass you by, and if only one thought arises in you, you should also carry it out, for it is My Voice which points you here and there, which you should follow as soon as it sounds within you. And don’t fear that you might lack the strength to do what you want to do for Me and My Kingdom …. Just be willing to serve Me and the strength will always go to you …. And know that everything will happen in a way that is beneficial for your mission.
You have given yourselves into My Hand and I truly guide you correctly; through your will you have given Me the right to guide you and can now also be unconcerned, for you no longer go wrong even though it sometimes seems so to you. Your earthly life unfolds according to the task of being active for Me and My Kingdom. But the time of your real activity still lies ahead of you, for I need you in full commitment and you will also gladly carry out your work because you have mastered what I demand of you. Do not forget that only one single soul can already move Me to an act of rescue which requires great labour on the part of My helpers, because one single soul possesses My love to an extent which is incomprehensible to you humans, and that one single soul, if I can win it, shall taste a large contingent of beings of light and people on earth and yet nothing is too much for Me if it is thereby rescued from Satan’s fetters. But I know these few souls which can still be saved and will lead them to you or let you take the path to them. And therefore always feel guided by Me wherever you go …. I know where work can be done for Me and My kingdom, I know where your redeeming activity is needed and I know where you can be successful. I will not leave a single soul in its spiritual adversity which is still capable of change, for its salvation is My gain, its life is My beatitude ….
Amen

Participance in the work of redemption ….
B.D. 5474 from August 29th 1952, taken from Book No. 60
It should not be a law for you, but with inner joy you should serve and participate in the work of redemption. The promise of a reward should not motivate you to do so, but love should urge you to do what helps the souls on earth or in the beyond to be set free from Satan’s bondage. An unselfish will to help will always be successful because then love is the power which achieves everything. And thus you will always receive My blessing if you want to help completely unselfishly …. And My blessing means that I Myself will help where your strength is too weak. There are many unredeemed souls who have no human being on earth who remembers them with love. And therefore the path to the light is infinitely difficult for these souls and they become increasingly more stubborn where they should give up their resistance in order to reach the light. Yet I show them all the path they have to take, only that I can only do so again in such a way that they don’t necessarily recognise the path as the right one. I certainly send them messengers of light but they are not recognisable to them as such and therefore they are rarely listened to and their teachings are not successfully accepted. However, these souls can only be led onto the right path through instruction, and since they do not believe them and have to do without the power of intercession they remain in darkness for an infinitely long time …. I inform you, who are fellow helpers in the work of redemption, of their hardship in order to stimulate your hearts to intercede, but which I again do not demand of you, because only prayer with love will give strength to those souls, but love cannot be demanded. Yet I describe the hardship of these souls to you as immense, and yet you cannot fathom their torment from which I would like to liberate them and will do so if you contribute towards it, if you give them loving thoughts and would like to help them out of your innermost impulse …. An unbending will can soften as a result, a hard defiant spirit can become compliant and draw strength from you because you want to help it. Consider that you are all children of My love and that you are all close to My heart …. but that you, who live close to Me, are far more blessed than your brothers who languish far away from Me in weakness and darkness …. Carry light to them, impart strength to them, for you, who receive abundantly from Me, can give to them, and love shall inspire you to do so, then you will prove that you are My children, that I Myself can work in you as it were. And then the work on the fallen brothers will not be in vain, then you will show them a path which they will willingly take and I will stretch out My hands towards them so that they will safely reach the goal …. so that they, too, will return to the Father’s house which they once left voluntarily ….
Amen
