Book 61 · BD 5579–5608
Purpose of suffering and misery ….
B.D. 5579 from January 17th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
You are all guided as My wisdom recognizes it to be beneficial for you, and thus each one of you is entrusted to a spiritual care which takes care of your ascent development. But in no way will you be forced, which is why you always determine the aim of your path yourselves. But no matter how you walk, your guides will not leave you, and they also walk with you on dark paths and again and again try to give your gaze the right direction, otherwise you would be completely abandoned and unrestrainedly at the mercy of the forces of darkness. Therefore, as long as you live on earth it is never too late to change your course and therefore it is still possible until your death that a change of heart can take place in you which means salvation from greatest danger …. to get into deepest darkness after the discarding of the earthly body. The spiritual guides will not give up on you until the hour of death, and as long as this is the case a turning back from the path into ruin is possible, for they will always entice and urge you onto the right path, only in such a way that it is not a coercion which could never help you achieve perfection. They can only ever have an effect on you in the form of thoughts which you can now accept and act accordingly, but which you can also push back if your will is still completely turned away from Me. For this reason the thought of what lies ahead of you will also arise from time to time until the end of your life, and even the unbeliever cannot resist such thoughts, he can only quickly reject them again; but the silent admonisher will always arise again, especially strongly in days of physical weakness and hardship, in a state of infirmity and suffering, which reminds him of his end. For as long as the human being is able to think, the leaders seek to express themselves through thoughts, even if they have little or no success. For they work in My will, and My will, My love and My care is always and forever meant for My living creations, and I only want their perfection but not their ruin. Yet the freedom of your will takes precedence over everything, otherwise you would all already be released from adversity and torment but never be able to reach perfection, which, however, is your aim and your destiny. Therefore I can certainly help you, I can arrange your fate so that it will serve the best of your soul, but I must leave it up to you how you make use of My grace. I can provide you with guides who show you the way, but you must want it yourselves and willingly hand yourselves over to the guidance, then you will walk the right path and also reach your aim ….
Amen

Spiritual guidance on all paths ….
B.D. 5580 from January 18th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
So many people have to go through suffering and misery in order to find Me, Whom they have excluded from their thoughts and without Whom they nevertheless cannot live in eternity. This is why suffering and sorrow are to be regarded as grace as long as people are still completely without faith in Me, and this is why such suffering and hardship can only be taken away from them once they have found Me as a result. I don’t want people to have to suffer but I recognize the necessity to guide them onto the right path through unusual suffering, I recognize their often unbending will which defies Me and which I cannot break by force so as not to endanger its perfection; thus I can only try to change this will through means which ultimately determine people themselves to call upon Me in order to then provide them with the evidence through help for their faith that I am from eternity to eternity and am in indissoluble contact with My living creations …. Suffering and adversity, however, can also affect believing people, and for these, too, they are means of grace to increase their spiritual maturity …. But anyone who believes also endures his suffering with patience and submission to My will, for he is not without realization either, because a believing person is not without love either and love has brought him realization. He also lives in this world with spiritually directed senses and his suffering still gives his soul the final perfection. But where the earthly world is still in the foreground, faith in Me is often lost or it becomes a mere form, and then I also know ways and means to let it arise again to new life, then I also manifestly show Myself as the powerful and loving God and father of eternity if people allow this themselves through intimate contact with Me, through the call for help which is sent to Me in spirit and in truth. The right faith will always be rewarded by Me through an answer to the requests, and the fact that faith can be called right always presupposes love, people’s love for their suffering fellow human beings who are to be helped. I truly want to hear your prayers if love for your fellow human being prompts you to call upon Me for help …. For everything you request out of love will be granted to you …. And if your fellow human being’s suffering drives you to heartfelt prayer, I will hear and listen to you so that you can now proclaim the power and strength and love of God, the creator of heaven and earth, Who reveals Himself to people who believe in Him, love Him and keep His commandments and are therefore also filled by His spirit, which now works with His strength ….
Amen

Nullity of earthly worries ….
B.D. 5581 from January 19th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
How trivial are all earthly worries and how seriously and highly you value them …. And you humans pay little attention to what is important on its own, and that is why your needs and worries become ever greater, because they are intended to motivate you to remember Me and your own soul. And if this is achieved then the hardships and worries were a blessing, but where these also failed to make the human being turn to Me there is often great danger that lower powers will now become active and help the human being, yet then always at the loss of the soul which the prince of darkness tries to win. Faithlessness is ever increasing, people unhesitatingly abandon Me and greedily reach for material goods which they receive as a purchase price, as it were, because they surrender Me and thus also their soul …. And therefore earthly hardship also increases and is so obviously recognizable as being brought into the world by satan. For unbelief and earthly adversity will always occur together because satan reigns where there is no longer faith, but profound faith always signifies a way out of every adversity. This is why earthly adversity need not be valued so highly, for profound faith in Me can and will remedy it. But this also requires a certain maturity of soul, an intimate connection with Me, Who will always help you and end the adversity. To the unbeliever a hardship appears enormous, the believer is hardly affected by the same hardship, after all, he knows one above him Who sent it and can also take it away from him again, whereas the unbeliever uses his own strength in order to master this hardship and, since he does not succeed, then accepts support from below, i.e. he resorts to means which promise success and, with great certainty and expectation, forces everything that seemed to push him down. Unbelief is also a strength, but one has to be warned against it, for the unbeliever is in association with the one who also has strength but uses it wrongly and thus the recipient of strength also uses it for sinful deeds. This is why this strength can cause unimaginable damage if the human being abandons himself to it, if he detaches himself so completely from Me that My adversary has full control over him. Every earthly adversity should lead you humans to Me, and in every adversity you should first consider your soul whether it will use this adversity to unite with Me …. A serious question like this can already reduce the burden, for it is placed in you so that you will pay attention and recognize the meaning of your worries. You can very easily be relieved of these worries through an earnest call to Me for strength and help …. I only wait for such a call in order to then grant you My help, for I only want to protect your souls from the abyss, and I can do this as soon as you turn your eyes upwards and call upon Me …. But don’t be stubborn of heart, don’t believe that you can free yourselves from every difficult situation by your own strength. You humans are all weak and need support, yet turn to the right source where you can draw strength, don’t let yourselves be seduced by My adversary who promises you everything and causes damage to your soul which you can no longer repair unless you call upon Me to heal you ….
Amen

Divine mercy ….
B.D. 5582 from January 20th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
Divine mercy seizes you and protects you from the fall into the deepest depth, for this means an eternal turning away from God for you and thus eternal torment and darkness …. Divine mercy stops this fall by banishing the spiritual, the soul striving towards the depth, into solid matter, a banishment which always leads to an ascending success, because the spiritual can now no longer will itself and must now, even if forced, fit into the eternal order. This state of compulsion is the just compensation for the previous striving downwards; divine mercy, however, connects this just expiation with the simultaneous ascent, and thus the spiritual in the state of compulsion nevertheless once again reaches its freedom of will in order to be able to prove it again, in order to decide again whether it wants to dwell on high or strive towards the depth again …. There is also an abysmal fall for this spiritual being, yet divine love and mercy does not abandon the spiritual being to a fate which it would create for itself in its imperfection. God saves as long as this is possible, and although His means of help are extremely painful they nevertheless lead to the aim one day. As long as the being is subject to divine will, thus as long as it is in the state of the law of compulsion, the ascent development is assured, but free will is always the cliff, precisely because the being is still imperfect and strives towards the depth. It can endlessly distance itself from God and yet will never be outside the realm of divine love and mercy, because God never leaves His possessions to His adversary, because the products of His love are never abandoned by Him but His aim is the final return of the spiritual, which He will also achieve one day. And He never leaves the fallen spiritual substance in the abyss but again and again gives it the opportunity to start the path of development, again and again He lets new creations arise which become the spiritual substance’s abode, that its evil-directed will is bound and it has to subordinate itself to God’s will as long as this constraint of will is necessary. For the spiritual, which wants to rule in its evil will, must learn to serve, and because it does not serve voluntarily it stands in the law of compulsion and now ascends through its serving. This course of development through creation can make the will of the spiritual submissive, so that even in free will it completely subordinates itself to divine will …. And because this is possible God’s merciful love is constantly active to let new creations arise and to stop the fall into the deepest abyss through the banishment of the spirits, because He longs for His living creations and therefore wrests the victims from His adversary until they strive towards Him of their own free will, until they have recognized God’s great love and mercy as a human being and now see their father in Him, to Whom they want to belong forever ….
Amen

Living connection – receiving the divine word ….
B.D. 5583 from January 21st 1953, taken from Book No. 61
The living connection with Me is crowned by the transmission of My word …. The human being has proof of My presence which would now also make him happy and rapture him beyond earth if I let him become aware of the great grace which is bestowed upon him through this living connection with Me. But for his own sake he will not be struck by the exceedingly radiant light in all its strength, for then the soul would no longer be able to dwell on earth if it had consciously looked into the spiritual kingdom …. And every transmission of My word is a vision into the spiritual kingdom, which the soul certainly experiences but cannot convey to the human intellect what it has seen. The human being still has to dwell in earthly spheres, and therefore the light only illuminates him to the extent that he can bear it in order not to become unfit for earthly life. Yet the soul’s advantage is incomprehensible to you and it can no longer be taken from it what it was once allowed to receive, what it was offered by My love …. to receive the living word, to be addressed by the father from eternity, to have thus experienced His presence in a demonstrable way is something so powerful that it would overwhelm you humans if you had full understanding for it, if you were touched by My ray of love in all its strength. Moreover, I demand your complete devotion of free will …. But this would no longer be free if you were once to enjoy the bliss of union with Me …. Then you would be completely subject to Me for the sake of this bliss, then you would already be blessed spirits on earth …. and yet not yet so perfect as to be able to be accepted into the kingdom of light, because the will shall submit itself to Me without any compulsion, because you still have to struggle on earth and your devotion to Me shall also be an overcoming of your faults and weaknesses, of your earthly and bodily desires, so that your soul will always become more and more purified and thereby enabled to endure the bliss of My nearness …. What you are to do on earth for Me and My kingdom has to be entirely your free will, and this will be stimulated to its own activity as long as you feel weak, as long as you still feel your distance from Me. And I will truly reward you for this free will with utmost bliss, yet only when you discard the earthly body and start your work for Me and My kingdom as blissful spirits …. Then you will feel the strength of My word, the bliss of My emanation of love as heavenly bliss, and then you will also recognize what an inconceivable gift of grace you possessed on earth and thank Me eternally for the evidence of My love which helped you to attain perfection ….
Amen

Salvation of erring souls is the work of the servants in the vineyard ….
B.D. 5584 from January 23rd 1953, taken from Book No. 61
You should work with great zeal for the salvation of erring souls. The need is great and the souls need you, for they cannot find the path to Me on their own. People are always led into your path who are without faith and live into the day without thinking that they have to fulfil a task on earth. To inform these people of their task in life on earth, to lovingly point them to their creator and father of eternity, before Whom they will one day have to answer, to present Me to them as loving and merciful but also just and thus to lead them to faith, that is the work you should do if you want to serve Me as servants in My vineyard. What you therefore do to lead these people to knowledge is right before My eyes and is valued as redemptive work. Every person who believes in Me and wants to be of service to Me can accomplish such redemptive work by trying to transfer his own faith to his fellow human being, which already banishes the greatest spiritual adversity, which consists of blatant unbelief. But if you want to do more for Me and My kingdom, you should proclaim the gospel to people in My name …. that is, when you receive the commission from Me Myself …. And this commission will be given to you when you possess the ability to teach in My name …. For proclaiming the gospel means introducing people to the truth, to impart spiritual knowledge to them which completely corresponds to the truth and which you therefore only possess yourselves when you are taught by Me Myself. If you now feel an urge within yourselves to proclaim Me to your fellow human beings, only in order to help their souls attain bliss, then this urge, too, is a gentle sign from Me, a place for you where you can successfully work on your fellow human beings’ souls. Then speak without shyness as it comes into your mind, for then you are driven by My spirit, and then the words are put into your mouth, then you can only speak as it is pleasing to Me, and then your words will not fail to make an impression, because you are urged by the spirit of love which wants to express itself through you, and then you will be doing redemptive work, for all people who accept your teachings and work accordingly will release themselves from their bondage, they will believe and then also find the right path to Me …. Everything you show to your fellow human beings with the will to love has a beneficial effect on them, and if you are now seized by the spirit of love yourselves, all your endeavours will be an emanation of love which will continue to work as strength, thus it will bring spiritual advantage again to those to whom you turn your love. Anyone with an open mind will recognize the spiritual and earthly hardship all around him and will want to help because he will also recognize why these people are in need, because he will recognize that it is unbelief which has caused their earthly hardship. He wants to bring them a ray of hope, he wants to introduce them to something hitherto unknown to them when I Myself am brought close to them as a being Which is supremely perfect, loving, wise and powerful. And as soon as you make it your business to bring Me close to your fellow human beings, to help them to believe in Me, you are redemptively active and faithful labourers in My vineyard to whom I want to assign an ever increasing field of work, because the adversity is great and much work is still to be done until the end …. For people have lost their faith, they live in the world and their souls have also anchored themselves in the world, that it requires great effort to liberate them and to show them the path which leads to their true home and which they have to take in order to become blissfully happy ….
Amen

The fate in the hereafter is determined by the will of man ….
B.D. 5585 from January 24th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
You can sink deep into the abyss but also rise immeasurably and enjoy bliss in abundance. And both are up to you, to live in the most dreadful torment or in bliss for ever …. I do not determine your fate, your state in the spiritual kingdom, you create it for yourselves in complete freedom of will …. You do not know about it …. you may well object to it and thus try to shift the responsibility away from yourselves …. But why do you know nothing? Because you reject every explanation about it, because you dismiss as untrustworthy everything that could remind you of your future fate, because you do not want to know anything …. And you will also have to answer for not listening to those who want to impart the knowledge to you; you will have to answer for your own thoughts, for they are constantly stimulated by spiritual beings, so that you will already be mentally informed and need not act wrongly, thus you could acquire eternal life even without direct instruction on your part …. You can live forever because your will can just as well be rightly directed, because you cannot be forced in any direction and because I have given you intellect, thus you are also able to think and only need to use this gift. Sin and wickedness are just as little coercion as the labour of love …. You alone determine what you want to do and what you don’t want to do …. You alone therefore also determine your fate in eternity. The downward inclination is still very strong in you, yet the graces from above can give you the balance so that you don’t need to fall but can hold yourselves and also slowly progress upwards …. And no human being will be denied My graces. And just as My adversary seeks to pull you down to the abyss, forces from above are also ready to help you up, and My love will not give you up, My love will not let up in drawing you to Himself, and thus you alone have to decide to whom you grant power over you, and no-one can make this decision for you. But are you also aware of the consequence of your decision? As long as you reject all thoughts of this kind, you carelessly pass over this consequence, but it is immensely serious, and you humans should bear this in mind. You cannot avoid responsibility, one day you will have to give account of your thoughts and intentions, and you will bitterly regret having carelessly rejected all enlightenment, for every human being must irrevocably accept the fate which his earthly life has brought upon him, every human being will be judged according to his works and his will …..

God Himself will appear ….
B.D. 5586 from January 25th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
I still appear inconspicuously, My working is not yet obvious to all people. But a time will come when I will not only work in secret but unusual appearances will proclaim Me Myself and My working which, however, will only ever be experienced by the believing human being, whereas fellow human beings will always have the opportunity to doubt it, although their affirmations will make them wonder. And I want people to pay attention and think about it, and therefore I will reveal Myself often, even though this is only possible with believers who then, however, will also firmly and convincingly stand up for these signs of My presence. And the believers will experience great strengthening as a result, the believers will recognize the time they live in; they also need an unusual supply of strength and will eagerly confess My name and My teaching and thus successfully work for Me in the last days before the end …. I reveal Myself to you in many ways …. I still want to save whoever can still be saved from the downfall, I want to make it easy for people to believe, I want to help them in every way to find the path to Me, I want to let them experience and hear unusual things in great adversity so that they then take refuge in Me themselves and with a small glimmer of hope approach Me for help, which I then so obviously want to grant them so that they learn to believe and no longer give up on Me. Yet My adversary will also take advantage of this time and likewise try to win people over for himself …. He, too, will distribute strength to those who completely oppose Me, and these are the ones who try to invalidate My unusual activity, who want to destroy all faith in Me, who ridicule and hostile all believers and gloat over their adversity, which appears greater to the world than it is felt by the believers. For I give them strength and make them happy with My presence so that they will no longer have any doubts within themselves once they have experienced Me …. And they will experience Me …. Where there is profound faith and a right loving attitude I will manifestly appear and leave a quiet happiness in My own; they will feel secure in Me and fearlessly let everything pass them by and clearly recognize the last days by it, I Myself will assist My own, strengthen their faith, alleviate earthly hardship; I will convey My word to them and also personally be with those who love Me and want to remain faithful to Me until the end ….
Amen

Humility ….
B.D. 5587 from January 27th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
Approach God in all humility and He will lovingly draw close to you. Listen to the voice of your heart, don’t become arrogant in spirit when His love becomes obvious to you but always remain humbly devoted to Him, then the measure of grace He pours out on you will be inexhaustible, then you will truly be His children who have found the path to the father’s heart …. Humility must completely fill you, and even the greatest gift of love must not let you become arrogant, for it is only His greater than great love which bestows that gift upon you but not your worthiness. What is weak is lovingly regarded by God as soon as it recognizes its weakness and humbly withholds itself from eternal love …. Then it will truly be showered with an abundance of grace which will secure you a high ascent. And thus a simple explanation is given to you humans when and how God bestows His gifts of grace; information is given to you as to what alone is necessary in order to receive a richest measure of grace …. Humility is presented as the virtue which is looked upon by God with eyes of love, which moves Him to empty Himself, to distribute an abundance of grace which surely leads the human being to the aim, to the union of the child with the father …. Just as a child approaches the father in all humility, so the human being must also feel humble towards the eternal father. But where humility fades, God also withdraws His grace. Humility, however, demands nothing for itself; humility feels so infinitely small in the face of the divinity, which it certainly suspects but does not dare to address. True humility will only produce a slur, it will not be able to express itself with words, for it does not dare to address words to the highest being, Which can already destroy with a thought what It once created …. Humility is silent and only falls down before the face of God, pleading for His mercy …. Humility waits patiently until it is raised up by His benevolent hand. And where you humans recognize this humility, there the flow of grace also flows uninterruptedly into the heart, there God’s presence is evident, there the connection from earth to heaven is created, there God inclines Himself to earth and fills the vessel with His grace which is held out to Him openly, the heart which humbly surrenders itself to God in the knowledge of its unworthiness and weakness …. (27.1.1953) For humility of heart is the soul’s highest adornment, it opens, as it were, the gate to the spiritual kingdom, it opens the source of grace, for where humility is there is also love for God, Whom the soul acknowledges as a supra-holy being, Whom it hardly dares to look up to but Whom it strives towards, to Whom it would like to make itself entirely its own: The soul’s humble devotion to its creator and father from eternity is the shortest path to Him, for a powerful wave of love and grace carries it over all obstacles to the father’s heart, Who graciously draws it to Himself because a humble soul is well pleasing to Him. True humility of heart need not be outwardly recognizable, rather it often hides behind an impenetrable nature, for true humility does not apply to people but to the God and creator from eternity, true humility does not venture forth, it walks silently, true humility does not dare to come forward, it walks quiet, solitary paths in modesty and never comes forward, it is without any self-love but always endeavours to make its fellow human beings aware of God’s greatness and holiness, because it itself feels how small and miserable the human being is in comparison to His holiness. And it will find grace in abundance …. for its whole being is an abhorrence of the former sin of apostasy from God, Whom it would never ever want to offend and Who therefore grasps its will, which is fully turned towards Him, and draws the soul to Himself in the most ardent merciful love ….
Amen

False gods …. divine worship …. (antichrist?)
B.D. 5588 from January 28th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
You should not make false gods for yourselves whom you worship, you should not let yourselves be dazzled by beautiful speeches to which you listen in rapture; you should not listen to those who promise you good days on earth, who want to persuade you to belong to them and strengthen their power; You should not strive for connections with people of high rank in order to gain their favour, nor should you feel connected to those who appear unusually, who possess strength which you lack, as long as you are not entirely convinced that they are My representatives on earth, whom I certainly endow with strength but have not placed so high that you look up to them. You should not pay divine reverence to people who are above you, for I do not want one to rule over the other even if he is entitled to do so. Only for the sake of human order have I set an authority over you which you should well obey but which you must not elevate to gods, for then they will only be idols for you which are and remain dead and cannot give you life. You should all be brothers and live like brothers among yourselves, and if there is one among you who is rich in experience, who is noble and good and whom you would like to give priority among yourselves, this should only be a demonstration of love from brother to brother, but not a humble submission and thus elevation of the brother above you …. You should beware of paying divine reverence to a human being, for then you will have foreign gods next to Me. And anyone who allows himself to be worshipped, who feels exalted above his fellow human beings, who abuses his power in order to oppress his subordinates, is not Mine but My adversary’s, for he does according to his commandment, because My commandment is only love and no-one will rule who has love in himself …. Nor do I want you to look up to those who are like you, unless they surpass you in love and virtues and you seek to follow them. But they will not demand any honour, no idolatry from you but reject them as belonging to Me alone. But anyone who accepts honours, who puts up with even the slightest glorification, who waits to be singled out by his fellow human beings, who values himself more highly than his fellow human beings, is already animated by the spirit of the one who wanted to elevate himself above Me in order to rule and completely disregarded love. And this person will never be able to work on earth in My name, for he pursues earthly aims, he still seeks ascent on earth and will never reach it …. Know that only the humble find favour in My sight, and that alone should warn you if a person allows himself to be shown divine adoration. Therefore be careful and don’t let yourselves be blinded by the twinkling of the stars which will still flash before you but which have put on a shiny garment themselves in order to feign light for you. Be vigilant, for My light spreads a mild glow, My light does not radiate outwards, but whoever carries it in his heart walks humbly and no longer seeks anything that belongs to the world. But the prince of darkness exalts himself, and he wants to be counted before the world …. By this you will always know which spirit speaks from the people who want to bring you salvation, and knowledge will prevent you from bending the knee before him who is My adversary ….
Amen

Sudden end amid the ecstasy of worldly pleasure ….
B.D. 5589 from January 29th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
In the ecstasy of worldly pleasure people pay no attention to the signs from above, and the end is approaching with giant strides. The world keeps all their senses enthralled and utterly blurs the spirit; they respect no God and fear no power above, for they are content with the measures taken by the ruling powers, and the more secular their worldly promises of improvements are the more they applaud them. It is the same state of affairs as it was at the time of the great flood; their increased lust for life allows for no spiritual thoughts, and the fulfilment of their wishes and cravings is sinful because they discard all moderation and indulge in unbridled pleasure and thereby completely put themselves into the hands of God’s adversary. And he has won his game with these people; he enticed them with earthly possessions and won them over surprisingly quickly. But his victory signifies death for people, death of body and soul, for the end will not be long in coming, the end will come amid the ecstasy of pleasure, unexpectedly and so fast that no-one will be able to think about it and there will be no more escape. They certainly could have recognised that it was shortly before midnight, for all the signs pointed to it, yet they kept their eyes and ears closed as not having to hear and see what they didn’t want to hear and see. And thus the end will come unexpectedly …. When lust and vice have reached their climax, when sin gets so out of control that it can no longer be stopped by the warnings and admonitions of God’s servants …. then the Judgment must come, which has always been and forever will be announced. Therefore, pay attention to the signs, earthly prosperity will be recognisable which will signify an uninhibited enjoyment of life for worldly people who try to gain whatever they can from the world. In so doing they will find their faithful brothers’ admonitions inconvenient and getting in their way, for this reason the latter will be treated with such hostility that a time of need will commence for the believers for the sake of Jesus’ name, because the goal of the sinners’ attacks will focus on His teaching and because everyone professing Jesus and His teaching will be deprived of everything essential for living. However, this time of need will be a temporarily blessing for the believers, for their faith will become increasingly stronger since obvious strength will be conveyed to them from above and because they will be able to hear the Word of God either directly or through His messengers …. And this time is still ahead of you; it will arrive without fail and must be overcome, because it is necessary to separate the goats from the sheep, because every individual person’s attitude must be clarified; every single person must make a decision for or against God, and since this decision shall be taken in complete free will the pressure exerted by the earthly authority will be permitted, just as blessings from above will provide exceptional strength to those who want to make use of them in faith in God …. in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world …. People will still have to go through difficult times, yet blessed is he who experiences life as difficult …. For the others will go down because they paid no attention to any signs, because they feared nothing and yet will nevertheless have to face God’s decision on the day of Judgment when the end of this Earth has come ….

Sudden retrieval ….
B.D. 5590 from January 30th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
No one knows when his last hour will come and no one knows in which state he will enter the spiritual kingdom; yet everyone can make an effort to live in such a way that he need not fear the last hour. And because people now live thoughtlessly, because they don’t think about how quickly they can be called away, because they no longer think about their purpose in life and only live for this earthly world, they are often reminded of the end by the sudden call away of fellow human beings, which nevertheless lets them think for a short time of what is also imminent for them and can be imminent very soon. Everything happens to make people think, and if one thing has no effect, something more powerful will come which will startle people and make them realize the futility of earthly life. And anyone who pays attention will see how everything only points to the end, anyone who pays attention will also recognize the signs of the times, people’s spiritual low and the urgency of help if they are not all to be lost. Yet what can make one person thoughtful is passed by carelessly by the other, no matter what happens it does not affect him, and these are the ones who are visibly granted an earthly life of well-being. But do not be surprised, for they have their reward there …. They are richly provided for on earth because then they have nothing more to expect, they are supplied from below with everything they desire …. And these do not envy, for their lot is truly not desirable. But they will be the ones who oppose everything that points to God, to the end and to judgement …. They will rush and make provocative speeches, for they are under the influence of satan, who will be exceedingly active in the last days. They will also agree with him who decrees laws against the believers, they will strengthen him in his power and therefore stand high and in honour on earth and possess everything they strive for, yet their souls are devilish and therefore can only receive the reward they are entitled to. The prosperity will be conspicuous, but so will the hardship and misery of those who are faithful to God and have to confess this openly before the world …. But you humans should be aware of the fact that it is an unmistakable sign of the approaching end when the blatant difference comes to light, and then wait patiently, for then the day of your redemption will also soon have come …. Many things will still happen to rouse people, and every thoughtful person will still change his mind and change, but those people who let everything pass them by without a trace will have to pay for it for an infinitely long time that they keep their ears closed to all admonitions and warnings from above; they will have to take upon themselves the fate they are striving for …. they themselves will become matter, which alone they desire ….
Amen

Distress of souls in the deep …. intercessions ….
B.D. 5591 from January 30th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
Great is the hardship of those souls who are suddenly and unprepared called away from earth if they have not already reached a degree of maturity through a God-pleasing way of life which makes them suitable for the kingdom of light. Yet the majority pass over into the spiritual kingdom in a truly pitiful state …. without faith in Jesus Christ, without the slightest realization and completely without strength, since they lack love and thus no works of love follow them into the spiritual kingdom either …. They are poor and miserable and don’t know where to turn for help because they have no faith in the one Who can redeem them from all sin and suffering …. Jesus Christ, Who would truly hear every call for Him. The spiritual kingdom accepts all souls which have departed from earth, yet how different are the spheres which now offer them abode …. But the kingdom of darkness is the most populated, and it constantly accepts new inhabitants because there is also great darkness on earth and the souls seek out the same place they left. There the hardship is so unbearable that the souls want to escape it but they cannot do so by themselves but need support. Again and again these souls return to earth and stay close to people who were close to them on earth or who are welcome objects to them due to their similar nature, in order to transfer their own will to them, thus to continue to work indirectly on earth. Such souls can hardly be improved, and yet they should also be remembered in prayer so that through intercession impulses awaken in them which can lead to a change. Where loving prayer follows the souls of the departed, there is always hope that they will soon be able to exchange their dark abode for a dim place, and they will then seek the light until they find it. The souls of darkness often have to stay in the depth for a very long time because they make no attempt to come out and only the desire for light brings them light. Therefore you humans cannot pray enough for these souls that they will strive towards the light, that the desire will awaken in them to enter a somewhat lighter environment. For the will of the being is decisive, and you humans should pray again and again for the strengthening and transformation of a wrong will if you want to help the souls which suddenly depart from earth, which are called away in the midst of life and possess little or no spiritual knowledge at all. They can be helped if only you want to help them, if only you give them love and want to deliver them from darkness. The adversity is overwhelming and cannot be forcibly remedied. A premature recall from earth is often an act of mercy for these souls so that they don’t sink even further and then the redemption from the abyss would be even more difficult because the will would then be even more hardened and completely directed towards God. Therefore remember those who suddenly depart from earth and send loving thoughts after them so that they will feel attracted by you, return to earth and be able to learn from you, for they will always stay close to those who give them love, they will be far more willing, They will be far more willing to accept mental instructions from you than they would have been on earth, and for such souls premature death can still be the only path to a change of will if you give them strength through your love, through your prayer, which is intended for the redemption of these poor souls from the darkness ….
Amen

"I am the light of the world …." light is truth ….
B.D. 5592 from February 1st 1953, taken from Book No. 61
I am the light of the world, and only where I am can the light shine, but where I am not there is darkness …. Anyone who allows these words to deeply penetrate his heart will also soon be touched by a ray of light, for he will realize that he has to take the path to Me in order to reach the light. But light is truth, and truth emanates from Me. And thus no-one can walk in truth who is distant from God, who has not accepted Me Myself so that I will kindle a light in him. But to receive Me means to make love your own, for anyone who lives in love lives in Me and I in him …. I, therefore, am love, truth, light and life …. Without Me you live apart, in darkness. Wherever else you seek the light …. you will not find it if you do not ignite it within yourselves through love, if you do not draw Me, Who am love Myself, to you through loving activity. There can be disorder in your thoughts, but then there is also disorder in your heart, then love is not in you, which orders everything according to eternal law, which also guides your thinking correctly and does not let any ambiguity, no questions and no doubts arise in you. Thus light is only in you when I Myself have found acceptance in your heart, because I Myself am the light from eternity. But you are free to choose the light or the darkness …. If you believe in Me, through Whom the light has come into the world, if you believe in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, then you will also try to win Me, you will let yourselves be called out of darkness by Me, you will listen to My voice, you will recognize My commandments of love as My will, and you will enter into My will for the sake of light, you will long for Me, for My love, for the life I have promised you, you will recognize that there is no life without Me and thus voluntarily step into the glow of light which I Myself emanate, you will look for the light and also find it …. You will move in truth as well as you move in love …. There is no other way to reach the truth than through love …. And this will also explain to you the error spread throughout the whole world, which infallibly has to be where there is no love …. But love has grown cold among people …. Where is the truth to be found which cannot be where I am not Myself, which is not apart from Me and which has been suppressed by human unkindness itself. Where there is no love there is darkness, no matter how highly developed people’s intellect may be …. I am the light of the world, but I am also the eternal love …. but where the light is extinguished, where love cannot be found, there is also darkness of spirit, there is error, ignorance, delusion and spiritual arrogance, for there the prince of darkness reigns who wants to displace the truth and thereby also the one Who is the eternal truth, Who is the light from eternity ….
Amen

God does not condemn but wants to redeem ….
B.D. 5593 from February 2nd 1953, taken from Book No. 61
It is not Me Who condemns humanity and pushes the souls into the darkness, they strive towards the abyss themselves, they pass their own judgment by living a way of life which enables the prince of darkness to take possession of them and pull them down to his domain. I Am a God of love, and I take pity on all these souls, because My principle is to give pleasure to everything that once emerged from Me. I see their adversity, I see their pitiful state and would like to help all of them; yet as long as they don’t want to know Me, as long as they don’t want to accept My help, My adversary will keep them firmly under his control, for their will entitles him to do so, just as their opposite will would entitle Me to help them rise into higher spheres. I don’t hold the guilt of sin against any human being, albeit as a God of justice I have to demand restitution, atonement. Yet My merciful love has created the opportunity for all sinners to discard their guilt of sin, My merciful love took everyone’s guilt of sin upon itself and paid the ransom through the sacrificial death on the cross ….
And yet it remains up to every soul to make use of it, because it has received free will from Me, which I will never infringe upon. It is, however, the wrongly orientated free will which will plunge it into damnation; into a condition which is so agonising that it is like the most atrocious captivity, and which it believes was imposed by Me and thus it regards Me as an avenging and punishing God, Who has expelled it into the darkness …. The soul creates its own fate, for what it is and where it is, is a state which has been aspired to in free will, which can only be changed through its own will, but which will also immediately be improved if the soul directs its thoughts towards Me. My love takes hold of every soul and helps it to rise if it wants to strive towards the ascent, hence towards Me. I Am indeed a God of justice, yet what I demand in exchange as atonement for the guilt of sin of the past rebellion against Me, is only the acknowledgment of My act of Salvation, thus the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as the Son of God …. Just as the spirit once turned away from Me and fell, it shall turn towards Me again in Jesus Christ in order to rise to higher spheres …. I only demand the acknowledgment of His Divinity, because then I will be acknowledged Myself, since I embodied Myself in the man Jesus on earth in order to make it easier for people, for the spirits which once had fallen away from Me, to put right their past sin ….
People are far removed from God, they are spiritual beings which had left Me due to their own will; it is not Me Who has condemned these spiritual beings but they who have aimed towards the abyss of their own free will, I would like to lift them up again, yet I cannot place them into a different sphere against their free will: I was and Am and evermore will remain the God of love, and even My justice is surpassed by My merciful love which has looked for a way to satisfy My justice and yet to help the living creations, so that they could come closer to Him again if they had the will to do so. And My love will eternally endeavour to redeem the souls from the abyss, which have lost themselves; My love will eternally reach out its helping hand which need only be grasped in order to be able to escape the abyss, for I Am not a punishing, not a condemning God, I Am a God of love and of mercy, Who only ever wants to give pleasure to what once had emerged from His love ….

Serious admonition and warning of transience ….
B.D. 5594 from February 3rd 1953, taken from Book No. 61
You should become aware of the fact that everything is temporary and that you, too, have a transient body, that you will have to leave everything behind when the hour of your passing from this earth has come, that only your soul will continue to exist, and namely in the state that you yourselves have prepared for it on earth. You should become aware of the fact that it will take your human attitude concerning the world along into the spiritual kingdom, that it will still cling to or despise matter in the same way as you have done on earth. But it will experience a tremendously painful state if matter had been its sole endeavour, which it will then have to leave behind and thus arrive in a poor and miserable state in the realm of the beyond instead of happily soaring upwards with ease and in freedom, if it is not burdened by its ties to earth, if its endeavours on earth were already aimed towards the spirit ….
You humans should consider that the world can only give you illusive possessions which will not last, which will enslave you if you do not rise above them and recognise them for what they are. Greed for matter, for earthly possessions, is the soul’s greatest danger, and this greed is extreme in people of this earth and will steadily increase as the end is approaching. People have become entirely blind in spirit, their thoughts are confused, they plan and work only for the world and ignore their soul by letting it starve, and yet only the soul will continue to exist after everything else has passed away. And thus people are constantly reminded of their futile beginnings and what fate their soul can expect after death. Their attention is drawn to it, yet they can only ever be reminded and warned but not forced to change their will and thoughts. However, they ignore these reminders and warnings and also remain indifferent to the proclamation of the approaching end because they do not believe it.
This is why God manifests Himself from time to time so obviously by taking away what people refuse to give up themselves. It is indeed a divine revelation but only few people recognise it as such. It is a revelation which distinctly shows God’s actions to people because there is nothing they can do about it, since they are unable to defend themselves, since they have to admit their complete helplessness and for this reason could certainly recognise that a higher power is active in accordance with Its will. But they refuse to acknowledge this power, indeed they would rather deny It and cannot be stopped since they have free will. God speaks everywhere and His voice can be heard by everyone, and yet most will remain unaffected by it and only have eyes for the world and its goods. The craving for matter will not grow silent in their hearts; accordingly, they would like to retrieve everything lost very quickly but continue to let their soul starve. Even so, God will not cease in His endeavour to release people from matter. To this end, many things will still happen before the last days and good for those who recognise the meaning and purpose of destruction and devastation and the One Who commands creation. Good for those who recognise God within everything that takes place and call on Him for protection and help in the face of adversity …. They will receive help on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom; they will live although they have died ….
Amen

Will determines the grant of grace …. grace ….
B.D. 5595 from February 6th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
It is not My will which determines your spiritual state, both on earth as well as in the beyond, but solely your will. Not one person will be left out of My grace, not one person can say that he has never received support from Me, yet his will determines whether and to what extent he makes use of My grants of grace. People who strive spiritually, who are in realization, only reached their spiritual level because they made use of My allocation of grace, it was solely their will which offered Me no resistance and which was willing to take hold of My hand when it reached out to them in merciful love …. And all people could do the same, My hand reaches out to all people in many ways in order to pull them up from a low spiritual state to the height …. Yet I cannot place them against their will into a state which is the fate of those who are at My will. I cannot and will not place them into constrained situations, because an ascent development in constraint does not signify a right maturing of the soul, because every constrained state is contrary to My law of eternal order. Yet I can provide people with graces unmeasured …. And only the acceptance of My grace will bring about an improvement in the human being’s spiritual state. Nor should a person ever believe that I give preferentially to My creatures …. everyone receives as much and as often as he desires …. But anyone who never desires grace, who rejects the grace offered to him, also remains incapable of all spiritual striving, and all spiritual knowledge is denied to him. And again, his will alone is also decisive as to whether the human being performs works of love …. This, too, is decisive, because love already provides him with abundant blessings, for I am already so close to a loving person that the will of rejection is no longer present, and then he makes use of all blessings, i.e. he finds every means of help I provide him with beneficial and no longer resists it. It is the will which impels the human being to love or prevents him from working with love, and thus the will also determines the supply of grace, because all resistance has to be given up in order to be touched by the flow of grace. Every person can mature if he wants to, because he is always supplied with strength if he is willing to utilize this strength correctly. And what is easy for one person can cost another a great deal of effort, but only ever because his resistance is even greater and this is solely determined by the human being’s will. But I would never demand a transformation of people’s nature in earthly life if this were impossible, nor do I demand anything so difficult that it would be difficult to fulfil …. I only demand the abandonment of resistance, which is therefore determined by the will. But once resistance has been relinquished everything else is easy, because now My grace flows continuously and makes everything possible which was impossible before. For grace is everything My merciful love uses to help you …. Every day you still live on earth is grace, every indication as to how you can use your vitality correctly is grace, every assistance offered to you through My word is grace, because My word imparts the knowledge of My will and your task in life to you and through this knowledge you can live a correct way of life and thus attain maturity of soul. My love gives you grace without measure but it does not force your will, and therefore you can indeed become blessed but also remain in wretchedness for an infinitely long time until you change your will after all, until you give up your resistance and desire Me and My love ….
Amen

Effect of the divine word to the otherworldly beings ….
B.D. 5596 from February 8th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
So always come together in My name and serve Me by radiating love to all beings which surround you, to the people who live with you on earth and also to the souls which are certainly close to you but no longer in your earthly sphere but in the spiritual kingdom. Radiate your love to all of them, then you will be able to loosen and make happy everything that is bound and wretched which enters your circle of love …. And I will always be in your midst if you unite in My name to work for Me and My kingdom. I will never let you accomplish a work on your own, I will always be with you with My strength of love and bless your work, then you will never form your own thoughts or words in your mouth but your speech and thinking will be determined by Me Myself, then you will speak for Me in My stead to the souls to whom I would like to convey My word and who nevertheless have to accept it through you because they could not yet bear My direct address …. And yet they feel Me if they receive My word through you …. Although people on earth must have an increased will to love in order to recognize Me in the word, and this will only ever be a few, for love has grown cold amongst people …. But the beings in the spiritual kingdom feel strangely impressed by My word if you offer it to them, if you let Me Myself speak through you …. They feel benevolently touched by it because it conveys a flow of strength to them which they willingly let take effect on them and which awakens the desire in them to always receive more and more. These beings feel Me but do not recognize Me until they believe that I Myself address them through you. But then they will no longer leave you and constantly want to hear your words …. And then rich knowledge can be imparted to them which spreads light and attracts countless souls to the light again and the work for My kingdom can be immensely extensive and successful in this way. Anyone who wants to serve Me will also be accepted, and according to his willingness his mission will be …. Therefore be eagerly active for Me, know that you only have a short time at your disposal and that you can work very successfully in this short time if only you use every opportunity to spread My word, for wherever it is accepted, wherever it is read or listened to, souls from the spiritual kingdom will arrive which, attracted by the unusual radiation of light, will also feel the unusual effect and gratefully accept it, which will supply them with strength. Yet the success is even far greater when My word, My gospel, is consciously conveyed to these souls, when they are called up in thought and every word is also spoken for them …. No-one on earth has any idea what effect such words have on the souls in the beyond, yet bear in mind that it is My word, that you are merely the instruments I use to bring Me close to these souls without making their will unfree …. In the same way I Myself speak to the people on earth whom I cannot address directly either …. only they are far less willing to accept Me because they do not yet recognize the extent of the great spiritual hardship which, however, causes the souls in the beyond to seek help, which they experience in My word conveyed to them through you …. And they will thank you eternally for imparting nourishment to them which strengthens them and enables them to strive towards the light, they will thank you for helping them to gain strength which they lack and which they now use again in order to likewise help those who need help. Come and receive from Me and distribute again, for I give with full hands …. so you should also give to those who are miserable and unhappy on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom ….
Amen

Love is the Christ-life in man …. "My yoke is gentle …."
B.D. 5597 from February 9th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
To make God’s will your own at all times is your task, the work you should do on yourselves. It can be laborious work but it can also be easy, depending on the nature of your will, i.e., how far you are still distant from God and therefore also of a will which is opposed to His. For a long distance from God also requires an enormous path to return, then your work may well be arduous but it can be overcome, then ‘the kingdom of heaven needs force’ for you to seize it …. But if you have already come closer to Him, if you are no longer so stubborn in your resistance, if you have directed your will and desire towards Him, then your soul’s work will also be easy for you, then the “burden is light and the yoke is not heavy ….” Enter into the will of God …. submit yourselves completely to Him and submit to His commandments …. Then you will make God’s will your own, and then you will certainly reach your aim, the union with God on this earth. But you enter this earth, the earthly world, with a will which is still opposed to God, in which you should thus change yourselves and your will. And therefore you still belong to the one who placed this God-opposing will in you, which was the cause of your former apostasy from God …. You yourselves as human beings are no match for his power and cunning, you would never ever succeed in your weakness, in your lack of strength, the consequence of your distance from God, to wrest yourselves from his power, you would never ever succeed in turning your will towards God by your own strength …. And that is why Jesus Christ came to your help …. Thus with Jesus Christ you can now detach yourselves from the enemy of your souls and completely subordinate your will to God’s will, but without Jesus Christ it is impossible for you. Your earthly task is therefore now very simple …. To make use of His help in the work of the soul, in the transformation of your will …. And you secure His help for yourselves as soon as you believe in Him and keep His commandments …. For it is God’s commandments which the man Jesus taught you, it is the fulfilment of the divine will if you live out Christ’s teaching …. But you alone would be too weak to fulfil these commandments if you did not avail yourselves of His help, of His grace acquired on the cross, which enables you to do everything that is God’s will …. You should live in love …. for love is strength, and you voluntarily gave this up when you became unloving, when you therefore fell into the abyss. It is easy for a person to live a life of love if his will is turned towards God, but only if Christ came alive in him, if His love for people was recognized and also awakened love in his own heart …. for love infallibly transforms the will and directs it towards God …. Love, therefore, is the life of Christ in the human being, and love is also the change of will and nature in the human being …. No one can become blessed without Jesus Christ, because no one can become blessed without love …. Jesus Christ is embodied love and therefore God Himself. And thus your task on earth is to return to God, to revive the love in you which you once voluntarily gave away …. but which then also inevitably draws your will to God …. And since you yourselves are too weak as human beings on this earth, call upon the eternal love Itself for help, Which in Jesus Christ will also surely come to your aid …. Acknowledge Jesus Christ as God’s son and redeemer of the world, then you will also start your return, then He Himself will take hold of you with His love and draw you, for He earned the right for Himself as a human being through His death on the cross, through His blood He ransomed you from the one who holds you captive, and now you can become blessed if you only want to, for He strengthens this will so that it will no longer turn away from God but strive towards Him as long as He dwells on earth ….

"I am from eternity …." Lucifer's creation ….
B.D. 5598 from April 10th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
I am from eternity and I will be for all eternity …. I am the highest and most perfect being, and countless beings emerged from Me, also in perfection, because I could not create anything but perfect …. And thus this being created by Me was also full of power and strength, it was not limited in its activity, thus it was able to create and shape like Me because it used My strength which it drew from Me without limitation. The emanation of strength into My living creations was a process which made Me unspeakably happy and stimulated My will of love again and again to supply My living creations with My strength …. Yet I constantly did this through My first-created being in order to make it equally happy and to stimulate it into creative activity. Yet My emanation of love no longer found resonance there …. the first-created being did not acknowledge Me as the source of strength but believed itself to be the producer of this strength because it was able to create of its own free will and therefore did not want to acknowledge anyone above itself. And this was its undoing, for it volitionally detached itself from Me and thus also from love, even though it remained powerful and mighty because I did not withdraw My strength from a being which had created My love. Thus it certainly retained its strength which, however, was no longer strength of love which had a constructive effect but a destructive, disintegrating effect because it lacked love. Nevertheless, this being remained My creature, for My love cannot turn away from the products of My love. But it had a beginning, a beginning, while I am from eternity …. This alone should have given this first-created being the evidence that it was not the highest, the first being, for it knew about its beginning …. And this knowledge must have caused its love for Me, for the being Which gave rise to it, to become excessively inflamed, for it was overjoyed in its perfectly created state by Me, and it was able to constantly increase its happiness by creating beings like itself. And this ability to create also had to remind it of the one Who had also given it life …. The knowledge was in it, the first-created spirit, it was therefore the bearer of light which was able to impart all its knowledge to the beings which emerged from its will but which all had My strength as their fundamental substance, which were all born from love which constantly permeated the first-created spirit and originated from Me. And in spite of this realization, in spite of the brightest light which shone through it, the being fell …. It turned away from Me, it repelled eternal love, it no longer used its strength in My will but against Me …. But it could not detach itself from Me …. Nor could it pass away …. although it had once taken its beginning, for it was strength from Me which cannot eternally pass away. It could only have a negative effect up to a certain degree in order to change into positive strength once this degree was exceeded. But I never eternally pass away, and what has once emanated from Me also inevitably returns to Me. But then it will have undergone a transformation so that it will recognize itself as a spark of light, so that it will strive towards the eternal light, so that it will find its bliss with Me and in Me, so that I will now radiate through it with My strength of love for all eternity ….
Amen

Need of the secluded souls …. love of the people help ….
B.D. 5599 from February 11th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
No human being can appreciate the hardship the souls of unbelief or weak faith find themselves in, no human being can imagine the state of misery from which they cannot escape without help because they are completely powerless. No-one knows how much merciful love they need in order to experience relief in their adversity and how little love follows them into eternity, because people are without love themselves and only think little of those who have passed away. If you humans knew how grateful they are when only a loving thought from earthly people touches them, if you knew what a blessing such a thought of love is for this soul, you would truly make an effort to help them as soon as you thought of a soul close to you in this adversity. Yet your faith in survival is weak, and you have also been wrongly taught if you assume that you can no longer help them even if you believe that the souls live on in the beyond. You alone can provide them with active help, for your love has a direct effect on the souls as strength, and your love can also awaken love in these souls and suddenly lead them out of spiritual darkness into lighter spheres, from where the ascent can then take place with certainty. You humans have a safe means of help for these souls and don’t apply it, and those who would like to bestow love upon them, the beings of light of the spiritual kingdom, don’t easily find access to the souls because they have to approach them in the same envelopment which the souls have themselves in order not to compel them to accept the light …. But the souls which have departed without faith also lacked love on earth and therefore also all knowledge …. Therefore they will hardly accept what is offered to them by beings of light, because their will is also completely weakened in their lack of strength. These beings cannot impart strength to them out of their love because this goes against the law of divine order …. Yet the love of people on earth is accepted by God …. And for the sake of this love God’s merciful love can now become active …. He supplies the souls with strength from His inexhaustible pool of love, He accepts intercessory love and helps where the being lacks strength. You humans, remember these poor souls and give them what they always ask for, if they enter your thoughts …. Heed these supplications and give them a hearing …. send them loving and good thoughts, point them to Jesus Christ in Whom they did not want to believe on earth, call upon Him at the same time and commend these souls to Him. But don’t let your prayer be a prayer of lips, for only love has a redeeming, strength-giving effect, and all souls which have to languish in the beyond appeal to you for this love …. And you yourselves do not know in which state your loved ones have passed away, and therefore you should not omit anyone who wants to make his nearness, his requests known to you through emerging thoughts of him …. Do not forget them, and do not believe that they have passed away …. They live, but in what state …. They need not be lost if you have mercy on them and give them the power to be saved; you can help them …. Therefore have mercy on all unbelievers who no longer dwell on earth and yet still are, because the soul is immortal and therefore cannot perish …. And they will thank you eternally ….
Amen

Power of the divine word ….
B.D. 5600 from February 12th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
A powerful flow of strength touches the soul which willingly accepts My word, for the will to hear Me also opens it to receive My strength. This is why I want My word to be offered again and again to people on earth or also to the souls in the beyond in order to stimulate their will …. But the effect is only felt by the soul which is willing to listen to Me, which tries to make contact with Me in faith and thus listens to what I have to say to it. Every soul needs a supply of strength, be it on earth or also in the beyond, as long as it is not yet perfect …. Once it has become receptive to light it is constantly illuminated by light and is blissfully happy about it, yet before the soul has reached this state it is lightless and also powerless, even though it has physical strength as a human being on earth. But the soul is in darkness and cannot be blissfully happy without the supply of light. And therefore it has to be supplied with My word which, as a ray of light from above, has an exceedingly beneficial effect. It has to carry out work on itself on earth which it cannot manage without the supply of strength. It has to change the state of ignorance into a state of knowledge, for which it therefore also needs light. And the soul also receives both in the form of My word so that it can become on earth what its destiny is, a being which can now constantly receive light in the spiritual kingdom and emanate it again. But if it has neglected to do so on earth then it can still attain light and strength in the beyond, yet far more difficult than in earthly life. It must now also receive My word in the beyond in order to draw light and strength from it if it does not want to remain in the dark state in which it entered the spiritual world. But as soon as My word touches a willing soul it feels miraculously struck, it is stirred in its innermost being, sparks of light delight it and increase its desire for constant light, and it also feels an influx of strength which impels it into activity, which also strengthens its will to provide the soul with nourishment it lacks. It is not mere words which the soul hears, which willingly receives My offered gift of grace, but it feels addressed by a loving being, and Its love powerfully touches the soul and it therefore completely surrenders itself to the effect of My address …. And as soon as the soul has mustered this will it has escaped the state of darkness, a brightness surrounds it and its realization, its knowledge, increases, for the strength of My word brings about this change because it is My direct emanation upon the beings which open themselves to My word. Therefore, this one important task remains for you, My servants on earth …. To convey My word to your fellow human beings or to the souls in the beyond. Depending on the listener’s willingness the effect on his soul will also be. Whoever rejects it will remain in darkness and powerlessness, whoever accepts it will infallibly ascend …. There is therefore a sure means to help the souls up out of the darkness of spirit …. My word which, however, I Myself cannot convey directly to the beings in darkness, neither on earth nor in the spiritual kingdom, but which has to be carried through mediators to places where souls want to work with love but first have to possess themselves what they are to give and therefore open their hearts themselves in order to receive light and strength from Me. But you should convey the gifts of grace with love, because only then will the strength of the word take effect on the souls to whom your love applies ….
Amen

Good doctor of souls …. healing remedies ….
B.D. 5601 from February 13th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
Salvation is truly brought to you humans through the proclamation of My word. Your souls are sick and shall heal, and only a good doctor can give them the right remedy which brings them healing, only a good doctor recognizes their illness and knows what you are lacking. And only a good doctor will be able to free you from illness and suffering, for a good doctor has love within himself and does not want the human being to suffer if he can bring him salvation. But your souls are sick and urgently need help …. You live a life which harms the soul, and you must first recognize the disadvantage your earthly life brings to the soul …. you must be taught because you are completely without knowledge …. If My word is proclaimed to you, the doctor of your soul speaks to you Himself and gives you the guidelines to lead the soul to recovery …. But you must now also listen to it, you must obey what I advise you, you must remember your soul which is in misery as long as you don’t do what I demand …. as long as you do not obey My word. As your souls’ doctor I will always meet you where My word is proclaimed, and you can truly be convinced that I will not prescribe anything wrong to you, you can safely expect your soul’s recovery if you comply with My word, for it contains the healing power, it supplies the soul with what it lacks, it strengthens and revives it and it awakens to new life, for the previous state was only a vegetation without light and strength. Let the doctor of your souls advise and help you, for only love motivates Me to bring you help, and My word shall prove My love to you, so that you trustingly hand yourselves over to My care, so that you follow Me and thus approach a life which will never end again, even if your bodily life has ended …. Make sure that your soul does not enter the spiritual kingdom sick, for then recovery will be considerably more difficult, for you can only find the right remedy in the proclamation of My word, which is always within your reach on earth, whereas in the kingdom of the beyond it first requires great loving help until you recognize it as salvation for your soul …. and then you have to request it in order to be able to receive it. On earth your soul’s doctor constantly meets you and offers you His remedy …. Don’t pass it by, let yourselves be healed and strengthened, strengthen your soul with My word and you will recover and be released from all adversity ….
Amen

Remember the soul after death …. pitiful figures in the afterlife ….
B.D. 5602 from February 14th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
What your soul desires, that shall be supplied to it …. But do you pay attention to your soul’s desire? You fulfil the body’s demands but leave the soul’s desire unfulfilled. And thus it will happen that your real self will enter the beyond in utmost poverty and weakness, for you do nothing during your earthly life to nourish and strengthen the soul; it starves and begs and is an unhappy being, while the well-fed body remains behind and perishes. If you could see the wretched figures in the hereafter who have passed over in this way, you would be terrified and turn away in horror …. And yet the same fate awaits you if you have led the same earthly life as they. Earthly life will pass very quickly, and what you humans have striven for and perhaps even achieved you will have to leave behind or it will be destroyed during your lifetime, and then you will have to ruefully realize that you left a time of grace unused which could have brought you spiritual success of immeasurable value …. You make a lot of mistakes during this short time of earthly life and yet you are constantly reminded and admonished to remember your soul which lives on when you have to leave your body …. Why don’t you pay attention to these indications, why don’t you follow the admonitions of those who want to help you in spiritual adversity …. why do you only turn your eyes to the world and don’t even look within yourselves so that the soul’s adversity would become apparent to you? …. You pay rich tribute to the world, that is, to God’s adversary, but you do not make the small sacrifice of providing nourishment for the soul, which consists of the word of God …. Therefore you cannot expect mercy when you enter the spiritual kingdom, you will have to accept the fate you have prepared for the soul on earth yourselves …. Hunger and thirst, darkness and torment …. For it cannot reap what it did not sow on earth. It can indeed still be saved in the beyond, yet what dreadful torments precede its salvation; how immeasurably difficult it is to persuade a soul to change its will, which was completely wrongly directed on earth. The soul cannot be given what it did not acquire …. And it has to struggle unspeakably in order to achieve an improvement of its situation.
It will achieve it if it wants to, but the will is so dreadfully weak and only great love can help it up. And how rarely does a soul find such love …. because love has grown cold on earth and is therefore followed by little love …. If you humans knew about the hardship of these souls they would take pity on you and let your love flare up, yet you lack faith in it and cannot be given to you against your will …. Yet again and again divine love calls to you: Remember your souls …. Do not let them live in want in earthly life because you are preparing an agonizing fate for yourselves in eternity …. Remember the life of the soul after death, so that you do not have to think back in painful remorse of the unused time on earth. Work and create for your soul, so that you may live forever ….
Amen

Two different worlds ….
B.D. 5603 from February 15th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
There are two worlds, the spiritual kingdom and the earthly world, and they cannot both be entered at the same time because they are completely opposite and therefore the human being must decide for one of these two worlds. The earthly world is indeed the natural abode of the human being and therefore also appears to the human being as his kingdom to which he has to pay tribute. But the human being’s task consists of the soul freeing itself from all impressions of this earthly world, of recognizing its appearance and striving towards the true, of rising into the kingdom which will be its abode after a short time, which is its true home and which offers it what the earthly world can never offer it …. unlimited bliss and eternal life …. The human being should gain this realization on earth that he only temporarily inhabits a world which is transient, a world where everything on it is, as it were, only a pretence, where everything is to be overcome in order to be able to rise freely into the spiritual kingdom which will remain when the earthly world passes away. The recognition of this influences the human being’s will and actions and can result in the human being dwelling in the spiritual kingdom even though he still lives on earth. But then he has mentally and willingly renounced the earthly world, for he despises the earthly world as much as he strives for the spiritual world, because it is not possible to strive for both at the same time. They are two different kingdoms …. And their lords are also completely opposite, for the earthly world certainly arose through God’s will, yet all creations still belong to God’s adversary according to their spiritual nature, and this spiritual substance, which is bound in the works of creation, shall be liberated from its control. The final liberation shall be accomplished by the human being himself by voluntarily detaching himself from everything belonging to earth, by turning his desire away from the things of the earthly world and turning it towards the spiritual kingdom, thus consciously striving towards the kingdom of God. However, this striving first requires the recognition of the worthlessness of all earthly things, it requires faith in a God Who is perfect and in His love wants to prepare a blissful fate for His living creations, and thus it also requires the human being’s love for God, otherwise God and His kingdom would not be striven for …. It presupposes a degree of knowledge …. And this shall be made possible for people through the transmission of the divine word, for the human being must first be informed of his task in earthly life before he can make any kind of decision. The human being certainly stands in the midst of the earthly world and yet he should strive towards the spiritual kingdom. God helps him in every way to become free from the earthly world, yet anyone who clings to earth and its goods will never seek the path upwards, he will also never want to and be able to separate himself, for he still allows himself to be held by the lord of the world, he does not direct his gaze upwards and therefore remains bound, even though he feels free as long as he stays on earth. But once he has to take the path into the spiritual kingdom as soon as the earthly world closes itself to him at the time of his physical death …. But then he will find nothing to replace what he has given up; the kingdom of light will not accept him, for he is not suitable for it, he will always be drawn back to earth, and even there he will no longer be accepted …. he is in the spiritual kingdom but in unspeakable torment and darkness because he did not use earthly life to strive for light and life ….
Amen

"Many are called, but few are chosen …."
B.D. 5604 from February 17th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
Many are called, but few are chosen. You have all been given the task of forming yourselves into a vessel of My spirit, and you would all be able to do so if your will strove for it. But the fact that you do not all reach the aim is due to yourselves, precisely due to your will, which is free and not directed or determined by Me to do what is right. Only a few take their earthly task seriously, they shape their heart according to My will and therefore can also let My spirit become effective in them. And thus these are the ones who are chosen among the many called ones …. But to have been chosen by Me means to have to fulfil a task which can only be carried out by a person who allows My working of the spirit. He shall represent Me and My name before the world, he shall proclaim My word, the divine teaching of love, which reveals My will to people. No person can administer such an office on earth who does not belong to My chosen ones, for the proclamation of the gospel requires knowledge which corresponds to the truth. Such knowledge cannot be gained through study, for mental knowledge is not sufficient for the spreading of My gospel, instead, the spirit from Me must first bring mental knowledge to life, otherwise it will only remain pure worldly knowledge, even though it has spiritual content. Therefore, every preacher of My word must also have been chosen by Me for his ministry, and he must prove this …. He must be able to demonstrate a gift of the spirit, the working of My spirit in him must be obvious. This means that he has abilities which he did not acquire but which were given to him by Me as evidence of My working of the spirit in him. One such ability is also the interpretation of the word which testifies of Me …. the interpretation of the scriptures which are regarded as My word …. No matter how long a study makes the human being capable of grasping and explaining the spiritual meaning of My word. For intellectual knowledge cannot replace what My spirit announces to the human being. My spirit, however, cannot work where the prerequisites for it are not given. But where My spirit is active, intellectual knowledge is not necessary, there I Myself instruct the human being and place the spiritual truth into his heart in a highly comprehensible way so that he is full of knowledge and realization ….
(17.2.1953) And therefore it is also a futile effort to want to draw wisdom from the scriptures as long as My spirit cannot work. And thus it can also be explained why the interpretation of My word is so often wrong, why only the literal meaning is interpreted but not the spiritual meaning, which I placed in all My words I spoke on earth. For the human being’s intellect interprets the literal sense, the spiritual sense is interpreted by the spirit from Me, if it can work in the human being. And what intellectual work is required for this …. while the spirit from Me clearly and understandably explains My word without the intellect having to become active. And yet, the human being naturally reproduces this explanation as if it were his intellectual result, yet the profound wisdom of what he says, the interpretations which are understandable to all, testify to the working of the spirit, yet again only to those who are of good will and want to be taught correctly …. whereas an intellectual interpretation is not a satisfactory explanation to fellow human beings and cannot convince them. The spirit alone gives brightness, the spirit conveys truth, and the spirit alone appeals to the heart, whereas the intellect again only appeals to the intellect and finds no echo in the heart.
But My spirit will always be able to be effective where love is …. a love which is always willing to give, which wants to help and redeem, a love which knows no other desire than to alleviate hardship, be it spiritual or earthly. Where the giving, completely selfless love is evident, truth can also always be found there, because I am where love is, because every work of love attracts Me Myself and the person who lives in love is intimately united with Me …. And where I am My spirit is active, where I am is truth, where I am I express Myself through the spirit, and that also means light, knowledge …. it means possessing knowledge which corresponds to the truth ….
Amen

Awakening the dead through God's Word ….
B.D. 5605 from February 18th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
You shall awaken the dead to life …. you shall draw the lifeless from the abyss and breathe life into it; you shall touch it with a strength that will give life to it …. And this strength is My Word which comes to you from above, which I convey to you Myself, so that you, as mediators, will pass it on in order that My strength will also touch those who are still dead in spirit. You own something exquisite, a gift that has a miraculous effect, you own spiritual strength and can use it to bring the dead back into life. But having received it from the Eternal Love you must also impart My Word with love; your will to help must urge you to share what had awakened you to life …. Then you will always be successful and able to work beneficially on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom. There is immense darkness everywhere and countless spiritually dead souls dwell in this darkness. But life also means light ….
Only the soul that is touched by a ray of light which radiates warmth of love and thus has an invigorating effect on the hardened soul will awaken to life. These dead souls have to be touched by a light of love, then they will awaken to life for sure. And you shall take this ray of light to them by giving them My Word, which has a most comforting effect on them if it is offered with love. This healing water of life constantly flows to you as a result of My love and grace so that your souls will recover and find the true life, and thus you need not fear the death of the soul any longer …. Yet the many souls which rest in their graves …. which in their thoughts are still living on earth and yet are spiritually dead and in depressing darkness …. are surrounding you, and you should help them by lifting them out of the night of death into the light of life. For you have an effective remedy, you have the only medicine which can help them, you have My Word, the emanation of strength and light of Myself, which will never remain ineffective if only it can touch the soul ….
As long as My Word is merely reaching a person’s ear it cannot as yet affect the soul, for only the soul is receptive to the effect of My Word. Yet only love will open the door so that I Myself can touch the soul with the strength of My love. And your love will open the door for Me if you endeavour to help these dead souls and proclaim to them My Word with love. Consider how much power is given to you: You are able to awaken the dead to life with My Word …. And if you are only urged by love to spread My Word I will bless your efforts …. Carry the Word into the darkness wherever it may be …. look after all those who are dead in spirit, remember your lifeless fellow human beings as well as the dead in the beyond …. want them to awaken to life and bring My Word to them with love …. And the strength of My Word will work miracles, the souls will awaken to life and light, and they will never ever lose their life again ….
Amen

The Antichrist's influence before the end ….
B.D. 5606 from February 19th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
The influence of the Antichrist will also hasten the end, for then the hardship of My Own will reach its highest peak and necessitates My coming in order to put an end to this adversity. My adversary’s only objective is to dethrone Me and put himself onto the throne, that is, to completely destroy people’s faith in a God and Creator of eternity in order to be esteemed higher himself, in order to be venerated and feared like God …. He does not want to own people’s love, only their submission, he wants to control everything and thus be supreme ruler. As long as people still have faith, as long as they acknowledge a Power above themselves to Which they will have to give account one day they will not yield to the one who demands something from them that is God-opposing …. And therefore the adversary will proceed against this Power by trying to eradicate the belief in Me, and this by brutal means which will make it difficult for My Own to remain faithful to Me …. Yet the strength to persevere will be provided to them by Me in abundance. I will so visibly reveal Myself to them that their faith will become increasingly stronger, that they will accept all detriment in the realisation that I alone can give and take and will truly repay what is inflicted upon them on earth.
The Antichrist’s endeavour is to stamp out the Christian teaching …. to prevent all knowledge about Jesus Christ as Son of God and Redeemer of the world …. He openly declares war on Me …. And that is his end …. My adversary will embody himself in a person who is totally enslaved by him, i.e., he completely owns his soul and at first deceives people with all kinds of proceedings and favours which will guarantee him the support of large crowds …. And his speeches and activities will be a mask which conceals the most evil frame of mind …. He will be a master in knowing how to hide arrogance, lies and greed for profit, yet his lack of love will soon expose him, that is, only in the eyes of My Own, for towards his followers he feigns sympathy for all suffering which he, however, does not try to alleviate but only contributes towards increasing these afflictions. The believer will recognise him, for he badly has to suffer under his rule, yet anyone who complies with him, who openly renounces Me, will be treated by him like a friend and be worldly honoured and respected. And so there will soon emerge two parties …. the majority will follow him and only a small flock will remain faithful to Me in their attitude and actions. And these will constantly be at risk, because My adversary urges people to cause them harm wherever possible. The Antichrist will reward such actions against My Own in order to even make the last believers, who still offer resistance to him, desert Me.
This will be the start of a time of bitter distress for My Own and yet it will be bearable because they will be allowed to receive an exceptional gift of grace …. because I will show Myself where people are in danger of weakening …. I know each individual person’s will and attitude towards Me, and I will truly not let My adversary gain the upper hand over his soul. Besides, the end is near and My believers are faithfully devoted to Me in their hearts, therefore I can show Myself to them beyond the law in order to grant them strength. And many people will get to see Me, and then no power on earth will be able to destroy their faith in Me …. Then they will also joyfully give up their life if I require it. But I will put an end to My adversary’s cruel game …. When he believes himself to have won I will come in the clouds and judge the living and the dead …. I will fetch My Own before I accomplish the act of destruction of the earth and all its inhabitants. Prior to this the adversity will be immense, yet My love will save you and My might will place into chains the one who opposes Me, because his time is complete ….
Amen

Rapture ….
B.D. 5607 from February 20th 1953, taken from Book No. 61
Only a small flock will be able to see Me in all My glory at the end of the earth, and this flock will be lifted to heaven before their fellow human beings’ eyes, who face spiritual and physical death. For as soon as the former have left the earth it will fall prey to destruction, which means that everything that lives in, on and above the earth will be consumed by flames which burst through the earth and do not spare a single work of creation. Yet My Own will not be affected by this work of destruction, for I will take them away first, and the sight of their sudden departure will horrify people, for My Own will disappear to heaven before their very eyes. But only My Own will be able to see Me Myself when I arrive in all splendour and glory. For the others I will remain invisible, because no one enslaved by My adversary will ever behold Me in My glory. But by the time they regain their senses after the supernatural phenomenon of rapture, their end will already have come …. the earth will open and devour all those who are and remain disloyal to Me.
The event of the rapture is not comprehensible to people of this earth, for something entirely unlawful will take place, something unnatural, which will remain unbelievable to all those who do not believe in Me and do not know My eternal plan of Salvation …. And yet it will happen as I announce it to you …. I will move the bodies of living human beings to a place of peace in an instant, but they themselves will consciously experience this event and be full of joy and praise for Me …. For they will have passed the test of faith, then they shall receive the reward for their love and faith in Me, and I will open paradise for them …. A new period of Salvation will start and My Own will become the root of the new generation on the new earth …. Only faith can comprehend this, intellect, however, will resist it and doubt until the day comes ….
Amen

Offering guidance on life's way …. word of God ….
B.D. 5608 from February 21st 1953, taken from Book No. 61
You may daily receive words of love, you may daily bask in the ray of divine love, you receive light and strength, and your soul can recover and mature upwards. The divine water of life flows to you, the word, which is food and drink for your soul. For it is true bread from heaven from which you can draw strength on your earthly path of life. It is truly a gift of grace, the value of which you cannot yet measure, but good for him who makes use of it, for he will live forever. Although it is available to all people, only a few respect and make use of it …. And that is why the majority of people walk on the road to death, for they do not strive towards the right aim because they lack the strength to do so. That is why they only walk on flat roads which require little strength, and these always lead deeper down and end in the valley of death, from where it is extremely difficult to ascend again, from where it is completely impossible without help …. And that is why the word shall be brought to the wanderers again and again as long as they are still on earth. They should not be left to their self-chosen fate, again and again callers should stand by the wayside and try to stop them on the path which leads to ruin. Their attention should be drawn to the path which, although more arduous, leads safely to the aim; they should be offered a refreshing drink and good strong bread from heaven if they feel too weak to tread the path upwards. They shall be lovingly helped so that they can lift themselves up and overcome their weakness, and they shall be quietly urged onto the right path; the guides shall offer themselves to safely escort them. And their loving care can also entice people from the wrong path so that the weak will gladly follow them and allow themselves to be guided, for love is capable of much and touches the fellow human being’s soul beneficially, and then the wayfarer, who has once feasted on the water of life, can constantly desire it, and he will then constantly receive nourishment for his soul ….
You who camp at the source of life, watch out for such weary earth-walkers who trudge along off the path, without strength and without knowledge of where the path they have taken leads. Stand by the wayside with filled bowls and feed them, do not let them go on without warning, but seek to persuade them to join you and walk upwards together with you. Offer them your help and give them what you yourselves receive in abundance. Announce the gospel to them, the pure word of God, and thus also impart strength and light to those who still walk on earth in spiritual weakness and darkness, so that they will not get lost, so that they will not go astray into the abyss. For this is your reward which you constantly receive, that you offer the bread of heaven to those who hunger and thirst, so that they too may desire it from God, so that they too may come to the lord’s table to receive grace upon grace, so that they may live forever ….
Amen
