Retreating into silence …. coming riots ….

B.D. 5680 from May 21st 1953, taken from Book No. 62

There is still a time of peace where the human being can occupy himself with spiritual questions in peace and contemplation if he wants to …. And thus he only has to fight the battle with himself by switching off all earthly thoughts and only occupying himself with what is helpful for his soul, by thinking about his earthly task, about his beginning and about his aim. Only in minutes or hours of turning away from the earthly world can he pursue such thoughts, and he should often seek this turning away, the hours of silence, in which he can reflect on himself and work on himself …. It won’t be long before he will be disturbed by world events so that the time for inner contemplation will become increasingly rare. And the world will force itself upon him and completely fill his thoughts because events will rush by, because every person’s attention will be drawn to what is happening in the world. And then it will be difficult to devote oneself to spiritual thoughts, and it will already be highly valued if the human being often only sends short thoughts upwards, to the one Who directs the fate of all people, Who also knows that world events are taking shape as they are evident. For establishing contact with Him will be exceedingly beneficial, for then strength will also flow to the human being for the difficult earthly struggle, and then he will always turn to where the originator of strength is, Who will also constantly provide for him. For the lack of strength can only ever be remedied when the connection with the source of strength is established, and everyone will feel powerless in view of the events which threaten and disturb and make the connection with the creator and father of eternity extremely necessary. As soon as the human being succeeds in withdrawing into silence and conversing with his God and creator, as soon as he succeeds in calling upon the father as a child and asking Him for strength and advice, earthly events will recede and lose their terror, for then the human being will noticeably feel the supply of strength and peace and tranquillity will enter his heart in the realization that nothing happens without God’s will or His permission and that everything that happens is therefore God’s will or permission and can therefore also bring blessings for the soul. Therefore, people can only be given the serious advice to seek frequent contact with God, to keep the hours of inner contemplation more and more often and to establish a relationship between themselves and God which always enables the human being to turn to the father when he is in need …. Anyone who has entered into this bond of the child with the father will also always find a quiet hour, because God will then already be closer to the human being than the world and the latter will only be heeded as far as it is necessary for the preservation of the life of the body. No one should let the world gain the upper hand …. The struggle shall always be with the world, and the less world events will affect a person, even if they are powerful for the environment and can cause the greatest unrest. The human being who unites himself with God, who often sends a thought upwards to Him, will not let earthly events hold him back from repeatedly seeking comfort, strength and advice from Him, and he alone will overcome the world, but he need not fear the coming events, for strength will flow to him without measure because he will constantly remain in contact with the source of strength ….

Amen

Love is the highest ….

B.D. 5681 from May 22nd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Love is the highest …. What are you without love? Powerless, hardened creatures who don’t recognize Me, for whom I don’t exist because they don’t feel My strength of love which can only touch them when they have become love themselves. Love is the key to beatitude, for beatitude is freedom, light and strength, beatitude is union with Me which can only take place through love. Thus no being can become blissful if it does not develop love within itself, and every being which has become love must be blissful. For this reason everything else is worthless, no matter what you believe you possess, be it extraordinary abilities which you can achieve on earth as a human being or earthly treasures, everything is worthless if you don’t have love, for all this will pass away but love will remain as the essence of your soul and follow you into eternity …. How poor, therefore, are people on earth, even though they are earthly respected and have many possessions of their own. How poor they are when they are without love …. They lack realization of their own being and their task as well as the realization of Myself, they are far away from Me and also from truth, their life is only a delusion of their senses which ceases to exist at the moment of death. Love is supreme, and if you do not have love, you are dead forms without spirit and without life …. For love is the divine which forms you into gods, love is My share which lets you become one with Me. Love is the actual life, a state of light and strength and freedom, which you therefore create for yourselves if you are unselfishly active in love. Then you will be knowledgeable, you will be able to recognize correctly, you will be able to see through everything, nothing will remain hidden from you, you will be in the light if you live in love …. But you will also be full of strength, for love is strength, it is the fundamental substance of Myself, Who is also the source of strength from eternity. Hence you will be able to accomplish everything if you, permeated by My strength through loving activity, can now also create and work with My strength, which flows to you without restriction, and therefore you can also accomplish everything according to your will …. You will be full of strength, you will be able to be active without hindrance, for the strength of love knows no restriction, because the divine source of strength never runs dry and is always at the disposal of the person who lives in love …. And you will be able to carry out everything with complete freedom because love loosens every restraint. As soon as you are active in love you have released yourselves from your adversary’s shackle, and the union with Me does not restrict your freedom or your will, you merely align your will with Mine of your own accord, you enter into My will and thus work in freedom of will and yet in fullest accordance with Mine, which makes you exceedingly happy and fills you ever more with love …. love is the highest, and anyone who has shaped himself into love has truly found supreme bliss and won My love, which he will never ever lose, for anyone who has once united with Me through love I will never ever let go of him …. he has become Mine and will remain so for all eternity ….

Amen

Otherworldly souls pursue spiritual work ….

B.D. 5682 from May 23rd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Wherever you are active in My name I am with you with My blessing. Just always pray under My guidance and then you will also walk the right path, then you will work in My will and with My strength. The struggle will become increasingly fierce, and light and darkness will increase the closer the end comes …. The light seeks to shine through everywhere, but the powers of darkness don’t want to let any light in and they even build strong walls to close off their souls from the light of day. The struggle is becoming increasingly fierce, and strong fighters are needed who fight against the darkness and are not afraid of it. Every work done for the spiritual kingdom, for Me and My teaching, is a battle against the powers of darkness which will always bring a small success. For My blessing is upon it because it is My fighters who stand up for the truth, who thus carry the light out into the darkness …. And where My fighters fight I Myself am there, and no complete defeat can take place there either, because My bearers of light are endowed with strength and therefore can also tear down strong walls with My support. Therefore you should not slacken in your work for Me and My kingdom, even if success is not obvious to you …. There are rays of light which send their flashes into the dark night and yet let people recognize the path which leads into the bright morning. No spiritual work is done in vain, for it is valued in the kingdom beyond, even if there is no success on earth. But countless souls in the spiritual kingdom follow this work of yours and derive their benefit from it, for they cling to every ray of hope, they hunger for light, and every spark of light touches them beneficially. And therefore no ray of light will remain ineffective, no spiritual work will be done in vain …. Always put the spiritual kingdom first, don’t let the earthly kingdom come to the fore, keep your distance from the world and send your thoughts to the spiritual world, from where light radiates towards you in abundance and only requires a receptacle to have an effect on you humans as light and strength. You will still be put to the test of faith, for you will have to decide for yourselves which kingdom, which lord you will choose. For this reason the world will also present itself to you with all its charms and temptations and strive to gain your attention. But the spiritual kingdom will also intrude into your thoughts, and then be strong and faithfully devoted to Me …. Call upon Me to enlighten your spirit, to order your thoughts, to open your eyes and ears for what is right and true, and then you cannot go astray, then it will be bright and light within you and you will only seek to attain My kingdom and its righteousness …. And then you will have won against him who wants to keep you in darkness and therefore fights against you with all means, but who fights for Me and therefore with Me and will also be victorious over the darkness ….

Amen

Outpouring of the spirit …. healing the sick, working miracles ….

B.D. 5683 from May 24th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

I promised you My spirit when I lived on earth; I promised you that I would also be with you in spirit after My ascension to heaven, I assured you of My constant presence and also that I want to work in you through My spirit. For I wanted to remain with you until the end of the world, yet not in humanly visible form, therefore I promised you My spirit. I Myself am spirit and if I am with you in spirit then God is really and truly with and in you ….

This is a great saying and cannot be grasped by you humans until I Myself can work in you through My spirit. An unbelieving person could never be given an explanation for this, yet even people who call themselves believers cannot understand this mystery, they cannot comprehend that I Myself can actually be present such that the human being has proof of My presence …. that the working of the spirit in him thus makes Me Myself recognizable. For this process needs to be understood with a living faith which emerges from love. My spirit can only work in a person whose heart is full of love, who therefore also believes in Me so deeply and vividly that he longs for My presence in order to receive My strength from Me. And My strength will flow to him unmeasured and enable him to be unusually active …. as My will, My wisdom and My love recognize as beneficial for him and his fellow human beings. Profound faith calls Me and love moves Me to express My love. This is the outpouring of the spirit, that I give My strength to the person who stands in living faith …. But the strength has many effects, or else the person who believes in Me and calls upon My spirit can use this strength according to his will, for he has already subordinated his will to Mine, thus I determine him, as it were, to want as I recognize it to be beneficial …. He will be able to work miracles, heal the sick, penetrate spiritual secrets, i.e. his thinking will become enlightened, he will be able to speak in all truth, recognize the lie and the error, he will be driven to proclaim the gospel to people and speak what I Myself put into his mouth, because it is I Myself Who now speaks through him …. He will say what is to come but which is only intended to serve spiritual perfection …. And he will be able to speak so that he will be understood by everyone as soon as they willingly listen to him. For I Myself am in the one who is filled by My spirit, and I Myself can always make Myself understood, providing the listeners demand truth and confirmation of their faith …. I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh …. People wait for unusual signs when they consider these words of Mine, yet everything comes unobtrusively so as not to force people to believe …. And so also they pay no attention to those who are filled with My spirit, whose thoughts I enlighten, who are also proclaimers of the gospel (to you) and who unfold much strength of faith in order to witness Me to people, in order to glorify My Name …. People do not pay attention to the few to whom I Myself am present, to whom I Myself make Myself known through the spirit …. to whom I bestow unusual strength which they use for the benefit of their fellow human beings, for the strengthening of faith. But I did not leave you humans when I ascended to heaven, I am and will remain with you until the end of the world …. For I am the spirit, and My spirit descends upon all who open themselves to it, who through love and faith have become the vessel of the divine spirit, in whom I Myself can then work as I have promised …. who can now also do what I have done on earth: heal the sick, raise the spiritually dead to life, instruct the ignorant in all truth and thus help everyone to eternal life whom I Myself can address through them, because where My spirit works I Myself am and truly nothing is impossible for Me and My strength …. And thus you work in My stead when My spirit pours over you, for you receive Me Myself and now speak and work with Me ….

Amen

God's oversized love ….

B.D. 5684 from May 25th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

My all-overpowering love seizes people and seeks to save them …. and a large army of blessed spirits supports Me because they are likewise urged to do so by overwhelming love. For My act of salvation, in which these blessed spiritual beings also participate, is a pure work of love, for I don’t want to possess but to be loved by that which I Myself love overwhelmingly …. Only My love desires My creations which once fell away from Me, because these emerged from My love and are pure love in their original substance and because love always desires love …. And thus I also seize everything inspired by My spirit of love and try to kindle the smouldering spark of love in them into a flame which will inevitably strike Me once it is ignited and flares up, thus awakens to life. For love is strength which drives to activity, and activity is life …. And therefore I will always be where I am remembered, and My flame of love will strike over a congregation which loves Me and testifies to Me, which seeks to glorify Me. My presence is guaranteed to you where My name is faithfully pronounced, for already where two or three are gathered in My name I am in the midst of them. And therefore I bless those who proclaim Me, who pave the way for Me which leads to the heart of My children …. My love is overpowering and only bound by My law of eternity, otherwise My strength of love would truly overwhelm everyone. But one day you shall be allowed to feel this love when your heart is able to respond to My love …. When you have discarded all dross and your soul is so crystallized that it can tolerate My irradiation of love and can now use the strength of love …. when your soul itself has become love which now unites with Me. Every labourer in My vineyard who brings souls to Me, who touches their hearts so that they awaken and seek the one Who loves them supremely and wants to win them, can be assured of My richest blessing, for he does a work of love for Me Myself, he gives My children back to Me whom I lost due to the unkindness of the one who became My adversary. Every returned soul gladdens My fatherly heart and makes My love ever more intimate for My living creations, which have lost their father and have to find Him again if they want to become blissfully happy. And all My helpers in heaven and on earth rejoice in every work which applies to the redemption of these creatures from the bondage of My adversary …. All My helpers stand by you when you are busy working in the vineyard, they stand beside you blessing you, they wait for My commands and carry them out, so that the power of God may be revealed, so that My working, My love and My omnipotence may be recognized by all those who sought Me and have now found Me …. They will never lose Me again, for My love now holds them captive, but My bondage in love is bliss, from which they now never want to escape ….

Amen

God's blessing on redemption work …. vineyard work ….

B.D. 5685 from May 26th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Approach every work with God, then you will also succeed …. Whatever you want to do for Him and His kingdom is redemptive work and therefore also blessed by Him. And then you will also be assured of His support, His guidance and His strength. It is not the intellect that will guide you but the spirit, which is always active where the will to serve God is present. You will still receive a special assignment when the time comes. But first make use of every hour you can to do work for the spiritual kingdom, for you will do nothing without His support, without His blessing. Anyone who is called by Him will also no longer be able to sever his bond with Him and continue to offer his service to Him. And the willingness to serve is also the guarantee for constant contact with God and thus also for the necessary strength to carry out what God has given him. If you humans knew about the small number of servants in the vineyard of the lord who are willing to help, you would not doubt yourselves but be firmly convinced that God gives each of His servants the strength he needs to be able to work for Him. As long as your eyes and senses are only directed worldly, the thought of establishing a connection with the kingdom which you do not see will not occur to you …. But God wants to direct these thoughts of yours in order to give you strength which you can only receive from Himself …. But anyone who makes contact with Him of his own accord will truly receive an abundance of His strength in order to enable his soul to live and be blissfully happy in His kingdom one day. He distributes unmeasuredly, thus no-one need fear being so meagrely provided for that he would not be able to carry out a work intended by God …. God always and constantly gives, He lets His flow of grace flow into every open heart …. So you only need to open yourselves in order to be able to receive without restriction. He gives you strength and enlightens your spirit as soon as you want to work for Him, as soon as you want to take part in the work of redemption, in leading back to God what has fallen away from Him …. Believe that this work is so extremely important that every servant is blessed by his lord who offers to help Him, because this work of salvation can only be carried out by people on earth in the last days before the end. Yet these people, who serve as servants in the vineyard of the lord, will always find support in the spiritual kingdom, God Himself instructs His messengers of light to provide assistance, and God Himself fills people with His spirit, His strength and His grace who want to work for Him and His kingdom ….

Amen

Right prayer is the bridge to God …. Jesus Christ …. The bridge to Me is the prayer ….

B.D. 5686 from May 27th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

There is no insurmountable gulf between us, for your prayer will always bridge it as soon as it is a prayer in spirit and in truth …. And the prayer’s depth of feeling determines the length of the path to Me. You can enter into direct contact with Me if you speak to Me like a child speaks to its Father. For then I will be with you, then every distance will have been overcome, then you will have breezed across the gulf between us and come close to Me, for I comply with your call and come to meet you as soon as I hear the voice of your heart. Do you now know the exquisite means at your disposal in order to come to Me, do you know what effective gift of grace prayer is for you? Due to your imperfection you are still far away from Me as your God and Creator of eternity, yet I do not deny you to enter into a dialogue with Me and draw close to you as a Father, Who also embraces his still imperfect children with love and takes account of their faults and weaknesses. I listen to you as soon as you speak to Me in childlike faithful prayer. Yet on the other hand, you can only pray to Me correctly if you believe in Me, thus every prayer in spirit and in truth requires your belief in Me, in My love, wisdom and might …. If, however, you believe in Me, then every word will also arise from your heart, then it will no longer be a formal prayer, then only the child will speak with its Father …. and then it will also achieve everything that is only in its best interest. But in order for you to have a living relationship with Me you must also be able to have the right concept of Me, Who gives you the opportunity for this as the Saviour Jesus Christ.

Imagine your Saviour in His overwhelming love that embraces all of you humans, and remember His suffering and His death on the cross on behalf of sinful humankind and you will also be able to love Him in return, to confide in Him and to tell Him whatever weighs you down, and you will, because He Himself was a human being just like you, be able to expect complete understanding from Him for all your suffering and adversities, and you will turn to Him, Who is your friend and brother, Who due to His love wants to help all of you, Who wants to draw you to Himself into the celestial kingdom in order to make you forever blissfully happy. I Myself became a visible God for you in the Saviour Jesus Christ, and if you offer your love to Him you also give your love to Me, your God and Father of eternity, for He and I are one, and anyone who sees Him sees Me, Who lived on earth as the human being Jesus in order to gain your love, in order to sacrifice Myself for love of you, who were wretched in your sinful state and in your infinite distance from Me would have had to perish had I not established a bridge in order to make the path to Me passable …. You all can cross the bridge if you speak to Jesus, your Saviour and Redeemer, in heartfelt prayer, if you love Him and therefore also comply with His simple commandments. Then you will also be allowed to experience His love, He will help you spiritually and bodily. He will guide you and smooth all paths which lead upwards to Him, into His kingdom, to eternal life ….

Amen

Signs of the end: cooled love ….

B.D. 5687 from May 29th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

This shall announce to you the near end, that love has grown cold amongst people, that a completely godless state prevails, for God cannot be where there is no love, and the word ‘God’ is also spoken. Without love, however, the world is satan’s kingdom who has taken possession of all these people who are devoid of all love, just as he is himself. And they will also speak and act as he wants, for they are under his influence and are also considered by him on earth …. They have their reward there …. However, a terrible fate awaits them when they leave this earth. Yet everything shall still be tried on the unloving people in order to achieve a change of nature …. Love shall also be preached to them, if not with words then by example …. they shall recognize that love is a strength which overcomes what seems insurmountable. For the end is near, and just as on the one hand the spiritual decay is clearly recognizable which is the cause of unkindness, so on the other hand it will also be clearly noticeable how the spirit of love overcomes everything, how visibly God assists those who are united with Him through a life of love, Who is truly stronger than His adversary and also demonstrates His might and strength. Love has grown cold amongst people, and thus people are also detached from God, they are so distant from Him and without strength but they compensate for their spiritual lack of strength with the help of the one who is from below …. Who provides them with strength because they are too willing for Him, thus they return to the one from whom they should finally detach themselves in earthly life in order to be accepted by God into His kingdom. Anyone who lives without love wastes his life, for he enters the kingdom of the beyond dead in spirit. It is commendable to work on these souls, for the work can be successful if it is accompanied by a good example, if fellow human beings can see the peace and strength which lies in living faith and is the result of a life of unselfish neighbourly love. The end is near and therefore every soul should still be fought for, the gospel should be proclaimed to every soul but not all want to accept it when it is preached to them in words …. But a good example will be heeded and can also bring success, for God will visibly help those who are faithful to Him and also prove their love to Him through a life of love ….

Amen

Mediatior office …. feeding a gift of grace ….

B.D. 5688 from May 30th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You have been granted an incomprehensible grace …. You may serve as mediators from the spiritual to the earthly kingdom. You are, as it were, above and below at the same time, you receive spiritual wealth from the world of light and carry it into the darkness, you work with God and for God. You fight against the ruler of the earthly world, you loosen the chains in this world and help the liberated to fly into the spiritual kingdom …. You serve God and receive strength from Him for it …. you stand in His grace. But again, this is not an arbitrary gift of grace from God, for it can only be granted to someone who consciously offers himself for it, who brings the abilities to maturity within himself, which God has certainly placed in everyone but which are mostly not developed. You mediate between God and man. The direct transfer of spiritual wealth to a human being is impossible as long as the human will does not desire it. Therefore, a person’s will has to offer itself to first receive spiritual wealth from God and then pass it on in a form which does not touch the person as compulsion. And for this mediation God needs people on earth who, however, derive an overwhelming blessing from it themselves, who can promote their own ascent unusually and, depending on the will of their fellow human beings, can also help them to ascend. What God now sends to people is a gift of grace of incalculable value because it is an immediate emanation of God’s strength which never remains ineffective with good will. If no effect is apparent it will be prevented by the recipient’s will who closes himself off, thus he rejects the divine word if it is offered to him, who lets it fall on his ears without granting it access to his heart. For no human being is forced by God to accept His gift of grace, yet all people are allowed to take possession of it. For this reason He blesses people who want to serve Him insofar as they spread His gifts of grace, so that everyone can make use of them if he wants to. Darkness is great on earth, yet everywhere God kindles the light which can break through this darkness, and He blesses every bearer of light who carries it into the darkness. A great measure of grace is available which can help humanity up from the abyss, and helpers are also ready to distribute the gifts …. yet every person is free to make use of them, for God certainly gives unmeasured but He does not force anyone to accept His gift ….

Amen

God wants to be recognised through Creation as Love ….

B.D. 5689 from May 31th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

The Controller of the universe knows no obstacles, everything is subject to Him, every creature must yield to His will, every living creation, be it a spiritual one or banished into an earthly shell. His will reigns supreme, even though He allows the human being freedom of will; nevertheless, it can never be doubted, for He alone is Lord over Heaven and Earth, over the blissful world of spirits as well as over the kingdom of darkness. It should therefore not be difficult for people to acknowledge this Lord, for everything surrounding a person testifies to Him and His will. For although the human being has freedom of will, he is not capable of challenging God’s will, nor is he able to make God’s will compliant with his own; but he is not capable of creating from within himself anything that his eyes behold and his senses feel either …. He can acknowledge God, if he therefore does not acknowledge Him he will be lying to himself and through this lie he will defy the Spirit Which created Him. And, in a manner of speaking, he is passing his own judgment …. banishment from God’s proximity …. were it not for the fact that God is also Eternal Love …. God’s strength and power cannot be denied, and the fact that it reveals itself through Creation is the evidence of His love for His created beings. For it is His will that they can recognise Him, it is His will that they believe in Him and He makes Himself recognisable by revealing His power and strength …. He longs for His living creations’ love and can only gain it by manifesting Himself as a God of love …. And therefore it is clearly identifiable that His creations arose for His living beings. The strength motivating Him to let constantly new creations arise is Love; consequently, the creations must also correspond to the purpose of showing love, His creations must serve to cause happiness and delight or help to lead to happiness and bliss. Anyone who wants to recognise this creative will and is able to do so will himself come aglow with love for his eternal Creator, for where the evidence of love is established it awakens love as well. Demonstrating His power and strength is not the sole purpose for His Creation; instead, it is intended to show His love which motivated Him to let each creation arise. However, first the Being Itself has to be recognised before a Being’s love can be known, it has to be believed that the Being is a Supreme Power, that It is supremely perfect; and this can be believed because this Power gives evidence of Itself through every creation. Yet God is not satisfied by the mere belief in His power and strength, He wants to be recognised as love, on account of which all His creations also prove God’s emanation of love by having the useful and beneficial purpose of facilitating the return of that which is distant from God …. But this ultimate purpose is only evident to those who have already recognised God as a supremely perfect Being, as love; even so, every thinking human being should questioningly observe the surrounding creations so that he can receive an answer:… that God reveals Himself through Creation, that His will emerges everywhere, that no being can determine this will, that therefore the power and strength is entirely with Him, but that His power and strength only gains shape through His all-transcending love which demonstrates itself because it wants to be loved in return …. because it only ever wants to give pleasure. God’s love can never be denied, just like the powerful will of the Controller of all worlds, Who cannot be resisted by anything, Who must and can be recognised where the will for it exists ….

Amen

Maturing only through love ….

B.D. 5690 from June 1st 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Only ever perform works of love and your spiritual ascent is guaranteed …. You cannot mature in any other way than through love; I can certainly assist you with My gifts of grace, yet these should only ever stimulate you into loving activity, because everything else emerges from love, a strong faith, comprehensive knowledge and the all-conquering strength which has its origin in Me …. Whether I convey My word to you, whether I fatefully step into your path in order to influence you to turn to Me in prayer, it is always love which shall fill your heart, which teaches My word as well as determines Me to hear your prayer, because only love produces faith in you which also lets you speak the right prayer. You can only mature through love, and your spiritual progress solely depends on your willingness to love, which is why all your efforts to make Me inclined towards you would be useless if you did not make an effort to live in love …. And you have the opportunity to do so daily and hourly …. You should approach your fellow human beings with kindness, you should make their need your concern, you should feel for them, help them, comfort and support them, you should not pass by your fellow human being’s need indifferently …. You should care for them spiritually and earthly wherever possible. A kind word, a good look, a small act of help will already earn you the love of your fellow human being, it will prevent love from growing completely cold, for love should be nurtured like a little plant so that it does not wither away …. Love is everything, and if love dwindles amongst people there is no salvation for it either. Therefore try to ignite a spark of love everywhere, give much love so that you will find reciprocated love, for only then can My kingdom also come into this world, for My kingdom is where love is, because I Myself can dwell there, because I Myself am in My kingdom when I can enter your hearts which have shaped themselves into love. Love is the divine in the human being which, however, also secures perfection for you, for anyone who stands in love stands in truth, in fullest realization, he stands in light …. There is no other path to perfection than the path of love …. For only through love will you find union with Me and thus also eternal beatitude …. If you live in love your earthly life will also be an easy one, for then you will draw strength from Me and be able to master everything, you will have unshakeable faith in Me and through this faith you will be able to banish every adversity; if you live in love you will be constantly united with Me and everything you now want you will accomplish with Me and out of My strength ….

Amen

Awakening the spiritual spark through love ….

B.D. 5691 from June 2nd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You must give the spirit within you the freedom to rise up to Me, Who is after all My share from eternity and Who, for the duration of your earthly life, joins you as a spark of light, can re-establish the connection with Me as the eternal light in order to then be able to work as a divine influence in and on you. The spirit in you is divine and therefore inactive in you as long as you yourselves prevent it from working by resisting Me, for the divine-spiritual can only have an effect where all resistance has been given up. Hence no human being is completely isolated from Me as his creator and father of eternity, even though he lives an independent existence as an individual being, for every human being harbours this spark within himself which is My share and can also enter into contact with Me at any time if the human being wants to, if he therefore fulfils the condition which requires the awakening of My spiritual spark in him. By entering into My will he has to prove that he has given up his resistance against Me, he has to release the coverings within himself which prevent the spiritual spark from uniting with Me, with the eternal father-spirit. And he loosens these covers by entering My eternal order, by living a life of love …. Love is the divine, and anyone who lives in love also re-establishes the state which corresponds to My eternal order, for love is the sign of perfection, a life of love is alignment with Me, with My original being …. You all emerged from My love, thus you are products of eternal love, and therefore you must be love yourselves …. but by leaving My eternal order you also forfeit love; however, you are free at any time to enter My order again, which will also result in your transformation into love again, because the divine spark of love rests in you as My share, which you therefore now have to ignite yourselves in order to be guided by My spirit in all your thoughts, intentions and actions, which will safely and infallibly lead you to Me, to your father of eternity, Whose everlasting endeavour is to win back His children in order to grant them an eternal life in beatitude, which is the share of all spiritual substances that have perfected themselves in free will …….

Amen

Reduced resistance of the bound before the end ….

B.D. 5692 from June 3rd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Everything that is in judgement strives for a change of its state and also achieves it insofar as that ever lighter outer forms enclose it, in which it (i.e., has to) always again submit to the law of eternal order, in which it performs a serving function according to the will of the divine lawgiver, Who has always determined the activity most favourable for the bound spiritual, which serves it for its upward development. For endless times the spiritual is already in judgement, i.e. it is deprived of its free will, it has to comply as God determines; it is subject to the law of compulsion which forces it to serve, even if against its will. The more the will still resists, the harder is the outer form which encloses the spiritual; if the resistance decreases, the outer fetters also loosen, the outer forms become lighter and lighter and dissolve faster, so that the state of torment decreases the more the resistance decreases. In the last time before the end of a redemption period, which involves a dissolution of all created form on earth, the resistance in the still bound spiritual also decreases, it strives for its ascent, it strives for its final release from form, it feels, as it were, a tremendous change in its state, although it is not fully aware of what is happening in the universe. But the ever-increasing de-spiritualization of people often contributes to the fact that the external forms are dissolved prematurely, so that the maturing of the spiritual in these forms is interrupted and thereby a general unrest becomes noticeable among people, because the spiritual which has become free, which has not yet reached the degree of a new deformation, has an oppressive and disturbing effect on people, driving them to create new forms in order to be able to take up residence in them again, because freedom does not bring an end to its agonies and also no free activity of its will. People, in turn, are prompted by their desire for material goods to let those things come into being which are now enlivened by the spiritual, which now serves without resistance. For this reason these creations, which partly come into being through human hand and will and partly can be regarded as new creations by nature, have a shorter duration of existence, for they will only remain in existence for a short earthly phase in order to then also fall prey to the final destruction, which is to be expected at the end of this earth. Yet all spiritual beings still in judgment, with the exception of the human being, feel the impending liberation which will bring them relief on the new earth …. It only senses that it is facing a turning point and that this turning point is also a lessening of the state of suffering …. and therefore serves more willingly beforehand …. which is expressed in the fact that all material things are used more …. although this only proves people’s material sense in the last days …. but it serves the spiritual, which is bound in matter, for redemption, for further development in a new form as soon as the old one is overcome …. God’s wisdom is unsurpassable and His love without end, and He will not rest until everything that once went out from Him returns to Him, until all spiritual substances are finally redeemed ….

Primal law: love ….

B.D. 5693 from June 5th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

The primordial law is love, the primordial power is love, and all material substance is love in its primordial substance …. Accordingly, the highest being, the eternal deity, must also be love, as well as all beings which have emerged from it. Love is a strength and therefore always effective as long as it remains in contact with the original source of all strength …. For God, as the original source of strength, emanates it according to His eternal order, to work in love according to His law …. Therefore, all beings called into life by Him will be able to use the strength of love without restriction, because it rests in them as a sign of divine origin, however, only as long as the being moves within the law of eternal order, as long as it wants to use the strength of love according to divine will. For God’s will is founded in His love, God’s will always corresponds to the eternal order and is likewise original law. If the being steps out of divine order then it also steps out of God’s flow of love; thus it relinquishes its strength because this does not work extralegally, because love cannot step out of order because it is God’s elementary strength. Therefore it will also be understandable that one can only speak of God’s power when an effect of love is recognizable, and that nothing ungodly can make use of the power out of God, because God’s power is love, but love cannot be outside of God. (5.6.1953) And thus it emerges from this that the eternal order must absolutely be observed where the strength of love wants to express itself, that therefore the being can only then be addressed as a divine being again when it lives in God’s eternal order, because then it is again permeated by the divine strength of love and thus is also powerful and full of light itself, because the strength of love also has its full effect again …. Then the being will be able to create and shape in the same will as God, because the strength of love constantly urges it into activity, because divine strength never rests but generates constant life. The state outside of divine order is a state of death, of powerlessness, of torpor; but life is only conceivable in divine order, and divine order is love …. The beingness which moves outside of divine order would have to completely perish if it were not strength emanating from God, which is love in its fundamental substance …. And this strength is imperishable, or …. what emanates from God can never pass away …. But everything positive in itself can turn into a negative, and this therefore means a state opposite to the divine light and power …. Darkness and powerlessness, therefore, an ungodly and therefore unhappy fate. But God, as eternal love, does not turn away from these de-divinized beings …. He seeks to lead them back into His lawful order, He illuminates the cold and hardened being with His strength of love, and if it opens itself, thus surrenders itself without resistance to the influence of this radiation of love, it slowly returns to divine order …. it brings the love within itself to unfold again and uses the strength of love which now flows towards it again to work in love …. it itself becomes full of strength and light and returns to the original source of love …. it reunites with God, from Whom it once took its origin ….

Amen

Essence of God …. power ….

B.D. 5694 from June 10th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

To address a force as an entity is incomprehensible to you humans because you, as an entity yourselves, believe that you can place every force under your will as soon as you yourselves are the producers of the force. And likewise, if you believe, you regard the elementary forces in nature as being under God’s will, Who directs the strength in accordance with His will. And thus a divine entity is probable for you, or also …. God, if you believe in Him, is conceivable to you as a being …. He is more conceivable to you as a being than merely as a force; yet you yourselves make a form of a being according to your concepts, which conforms to your own form. And this idea is erroneous because something perfect can never be thought in a limitation …. Everything that is imaginable to you has not yet reached the degree of perfection, otherwise it goes beyond your capacity of imagination …. You must recognize yourselves as still imperfect beings for whom it is still impossible to grasp perfection; you must know that a limitation only applies to that which is still imperfect, whereas that which is perfect is unlimited …. and you will then also understand that it is quite impossible for you to be able to imagine the most perfect, most unsurpassable being, to which you cannot possibly give a form which corresponds to your limited capacity of concept …. You humans still have no standard for the unlimited, for perfection, indeed, even the beings of light do not completely grasp God’s essence, because His perfection is not attainable for any being, because only in the fusion with Him can their own essence be completely divinized, yet God still stands infinitely far above the individual being …. because these individual beings can indeed be completely permeated by His fundamental substance, by strength of love, but He Himself is and always remains the source of strength of love Which emanates into infinity. He Himself is love …. power and light. And love, strength and light need no form in order to be effective, because this form could only be infinity again, which is filled by Him, i.e. by love-power and light …. But just as an infinitely large fire can spray itself into endless small sparks and yet the spark in itself remains fire, so the sparks of love emanating from Him were nevertheless the same as He Himself in miniature …. They were entities which were an image of Himself, which in their fundamental substance were the same as their creator of eternity but which were only able to behold themselves and the like but were never able to behold the infinite being of God, who certainly knew about Him and recognized Him as God and creator. And a being completely permeated by His strength of love had merged with Him to a certain degree of maturity such

10.06.1952 that it was also capable of unlimited creation and activity, that it was able to accomplish the same as God, since the divine creative power is love and a being filled with love can therefore also create and shape according to its will, but which is now also God’s will …. The first created being, Lucifer, was so completely permeated by God’s strength of love that it was now active as a bearer of light and strength itself and created beings in great numbers which all came forth in utmost perfection, because God’s will and God’s love were also Lucifer’s will and love and thus only perfection could be the result of this will of love. But it was created perfect, which means that its free will had not yet been tested as to whether it wanted to remain perfect or would descend from the degree of perfection if it was also given the opportunity to do so …. This test of will also had to be taken by the first created being, by Lucifer, because only the passing of this test signified the highest degree of perfection, because only then did a deification of the being take place, which God set as the aim for all created things. Lucifer failed this test of will and with him a great appendix …. Yet countless beings passed it and remained with God, Whom they recognized and loved beyond measure, even though they were unable to behold Him. But these beings were still isolated, thus outside of God, Who certainly permeated them with His strength of love but imposed a condition for complete unification with Him which was not easy to fulfil: Voluntary descent into the abyss and from there paving a path upwards which could be taken by all fallen beings …. a divesting of the divine qualities, the surrender of light and strength, the signs of divinity, in order to now establish the connection with God out of the depth in free will, which has to be established in order to reach Him again …. A being of light had to pave the way for the fallen one, but the being had to give itself to light in order to stand on the same level as the fallen one, and then strive upwards. Thus such a being of light begat itself in the man Jesus, for the being of light was filled with love for God and for the fallen being, just as it was permeated by God’s love, thus love begat itself in the man Jesus in order to redeem the fallen being ….

No matter how this process is explained to you humans, you will never be able to grasp it properly because the term ‘love’ is not yet comprehensible to you, because you cannot understand that love itself is a being, that God Himself is always spoken of when the word ‘love’ is mentioned …. That God Himself descended to earth when love took pity on the fallen being …. that only eternal love expressed Itself through a being which emerged from His love, that God Himself in the being of light moved into the body of the human being Jesus as a soul, that He descended from above to earth in order to now proceed as a human being on the path on which all beings of the abyss could follow Him in order to attain light and beatitude again ….

Direct your senses spiritually ….

B.D. 5695 from June 11th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Direct your senses spiritually …. Everything that belongs to earth, that keeps you bound to earth, is worthless for eternity, but what you strive for spiritually remains with you and develops you upwards. Direct all your thoughts upwards towards God and only pay attention to earthly things to such an extent that you fulfil your duties, which will be all the less the more you try to win God and His kingdom. Learn to regard everything worldly as satan’s work of deception, as it keeps you from striving upwards. You can certainly meet the demands earthly life places on you, for you will be granted assistance from the spiritual kingdom if you desire it first. Then earthly life will also fulfil itself, then everything will be managed in such a way that it will benefit your ascent development, for as soon as you only direct your senses spiritually you will also be granted support from the spiritual side. And in the last days before the end you humans should concern yourselves more than ever with thoughts of the other world, of the world you will enter after the death of your body and which you will prepare for yourselves through your will, through your life on this earth. For the end is near and not all people can expect a normal duration of their life, not all will experience or survive the end, many people will already be called away prematurely and be little prepared for the spiritual kingdom. And that is because they only live a purely worldly life, because they have no connection with the kingdom which lasts forever, where actual life only begins, but where death can also await the soul which did not strive for life on earth. And the admonition is addressed to these people: Remember your soul, for the body does not remain, but the soul cannot die, it remains and yet can be dead in spirit. Direct your senses spiritually, don’t attach too much value to earthly life, recognize what you are when you have to leave all earthly things behind, and make sure that your soul will then shine in spiritual wealth, that it has acquired a life of strength and light, a life which lasts forever and is bliss ….

Death of the body beginning of real life ….

B.D. 5696 from June 12th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

If you successfully cover the earthly lifetime for your soul, then death will no longer frighten you but you will welcome it as a gateway to eternal life. For only then will actual life await you, a blissful activity in blissful communion with like-minded souls awaits you, and you will be able to work in light and freedom, in strength and fullest knowledge. Then death will also be overcome for you and you will be blissfully happy in the vision of God. You must have attained maturity of soul …. And you can only achieve this by fulfilling God’s commandments, by living a life of love for God and your neighbour. Therefore you should only strive to help your fellow human beings in spiritual and physical adversity, you should give them love and not miss a single day when you have not accomplished at least one good deed, then you will shape yourselves more and more into love and be increasingly more filled by God’s strength, Who will now also turn His love towards you more, because love will always kindle love again and you will assimilate yourselves to God’s fundamental being until He can draw you to Himself, until you have united yourselves with Him and will never be able to separate from Him again, because love wraps an unbreakable bond around father and child which you will never want to loosen. The actual life only begins with the death of the body, for every cover falls off you, you are free and remain free and will now live for eternity ….

Amen

Beginning …. eternity …. order …. perfection ….

B.D. 5697 from June 13th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

I am from eternity, and from Me everything took its beginning. It was My spirit that created everything …. My strength of love made creation possible and My wisdom ordered what now emerged from My strength. My first creations, however, were beings, they were images of Myself, in their fundamental substance they were the same as Me, they were the spirit of My spirit, they were beings of utmost perfection, for I had shaped them in My image. But they had a beginning, whereas I am from eternity. Yet what I have created will remain in existence for all eternity, because My spirit cannot eternally pass away and wants to express Itself in these created beings forever and ever …. I wanted to find Myself again in these beings, I wanted them to create and shape freely of their own accord, yet also in the same order, which is My fundamental law from eternity. Yet they had to move freely within this order, thus they had to think and act like Me of their own free will if they wanted to be and remain perfect. What now left this eternal order of Mine certainly lost its perfection but could no longer pass away, even though it had a beginning …. But it must feel its existence to be unlawful, the originally blissful state must change into an unblissful one and this must also be the reason to strive for perfection in order to restore the original state. I Myself have known since eternity about the emergence of My created beings from My order, yet I have also known since eternity about the aim, about the final return and about the inevitable beatitude of everything that has emerged from My strength of love; I know that the light will increase immeasurably; I see the glories of My kingdom making all My living creations happy, I see the emanation of My strength of love into infinity and its return to Me …. I alone know what this means when the spiritual being, which has reached perfection in free will, operates according to My will …. And I therefore pursue My aim according to My plan from eternity …. I lead everything to perfection, I always let new worlds arise, always new creations which are to serve to restore My order from eternity, to lead that which has become imperfect in free will to perfection again, to unlimited beatitude in and with Me ….

Amen

Incentive to work in the vineyard of the lord ….

B.D. 5698 from June 14th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You have an enormous task to accomplish but which you are also able to carry out with My grace and strength if only your will is devoted to Me, if you use all your strength for a work which still has to be done before the end of the earth in order to snatch many souls from spiritual death. I will lead you all by the hand as long as you want to serve Me, and thus you will also always take the paths which lead you to people who are in need and urgently require help. But your help is predominantly of a spiritual nature, for the spiritual hardship is still considerably greater than the earthly hardship, and for this spiritual hardship I will give you an abundance of resources into your hands, a wealth which you are now to use for the benefit of the poor, whom you are to feed and water with gifts of love, with the nourishment from heaven, which you will receive in abundance and is therefore intended for all people who are in need of food for their souls. The giving of nourishment for the soul is your task, which I urgently urge you to do …. Like My disciples you shall spread My word throughout the world, which alone is the nourishment on which the souls can strengthen themselves, on which they will recover if they feel weak and sick. And every work you do in this mission will be blessed by Me. I only need your will to serve Me, then I Myself will accomplish everything as it is successful for people who are also of good will. For I take pity on people who live in utmost spiritual poverty, who don’t know and recognize Me, who go astray from the path which leads to Me …. I have mercy on people who walk in error and thereby very easily get caught in the enemy’s nets of their souls. Have mercy on people who live unscrupulously into the day and have no idea how close the end is to them …. I would like to help all of them and yet I cannot address them directly so as not to make them unfree in will and faith. And therefore I call you to help Me, because help must be brought to these poor people in spirit through people …. Yet you yourselves are relieved of all responsibility as soon as you submit your will to Me. Then your will will be Mine, you will think, speak and act in accordance with My will, and every step you take will be blessed because you participate in a work of salvation which is extremely important in view of the approaching end. Therefore, place yourselves under My guidance, entrust yourselves completely to Me and you will be active for the benefit of those who are in greatest need and require help and who will be eternally grateful to you if they know that they have been saved from eternal death ….

Amen

'You truly have a Father' …. Father and child relationship ….

B.D. 5699 from June 16th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Nothing would be impossible for you if you united yourselves with Me, if you appealed to Me for strength …. if you thus let Me Myself work through you. You just do not have sufficient faith as yet, and as long as you doubt you are preventing Me yourselves from working in accordance with your will. Yet you should try to gain this faith. Place yourselves into the position of talking to Me with childlike trust, so that you really feel like children who come to the Father in every difficulty, be it of a spiritual or earthly nature. Were you able to establish this relationship with Me you would no longer doubt that I would grant your request. For if you address Me as your Father you will also be convinced of My love which turns to My children and grants them help in every adversity. You truly have a Father, you are not orphaned children, you have One Who knows your difficulties and worries, Who only wants to be called upon because He desires the love of His children and wants to respond to it …. How richly blessed you are indeed …. You have a Father in heaven Who is stronger than all the powers in the world, Who therefore can also avert everything that affects you on part of the world …. And because you have such a powerful and loving Father nothing is impossible for you either, because I always will stand by you with My strength, because you only have to believe firmly in order to prompt Me into expressing My power. As long as you are distant from Me you will also be helpless, but as soon as you establish a heartfelt connection with Me My strength will have to flow over to you, and then you will achieve and be able to do everything, and there will be no restriction for you, for all limitations disappear where My strength is being used. Just have absolute faith in your heavenly Father’s love and all worries will dwindle, they will always be removed at the right time, because you determine the time yourselves by the strength of your faith ….

Amen

I want to bless your work and guide your thoughts and grant that you will act according to My will. Therefore give your spiritual work priority over your earthly occupation, which I then will also bless and provide you with spiritual support where earthly strength seems to be insufficient. And since I bless you everything will succeed, since I bless you, you cannot be attacked by evil forces, for My blessing erects a protective shield behind which you can feel secure, a protective shield which disperses everything which is hostile, because My protective hand is upon you as long as you work for Me and My kingdom …. I want to be a good caretaker to all of you as soon as you work as My servants in My vineyard, as soon as you are of service to Me and aim to extend My kingdom on earth …. And you shall not lack anything, I will furnish you with strength, and you will thus carry out your redemption work for which I appointed you in the last days before the end ….

Amen

What is truth? …. Where can it be found? ….

B.D. 5700 from June 17th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You humans have to be informed of the truth in order to be able to fulfil the purpose of your earthly life …. But what is truth? And how can you attain truth?

God Himself is the Eternal Truth, and therefore anyone who desires truth has to turn to God Himself and ask Him for the truth. There is no other way but this direct one, for even if it is offered to someone in a different way he will only be able to recognise it as truth if he prays to God for the enlightenment of his spirit, for the right kind of thinking. Thus a person has to acknowledge God first, he has to believe in Him …. And this faith will only be alive in him, it will only have become his inner conviction, if he lives a life of love, for faith will only come alive through love. Love is the key to wisdom, love guarantees correct thinking that corresponds to the truth, for love, truth and God are one ….

You humans first have to adopt the fundamental truth that love is the first condition for correct thinking, that you can only speak of an enlightened spirit if you make the effort to live a life of love, which is to be understood as selfless neighbourly love and through which you also express your love for God. You humans ought to know that where love is, God Himself is also present, and where God is, there is also love …. You ought to know that it is God’s will to lead you into the pure truth, that He does not want to withhold anything from you, that you shall change your state of ignorance into a state of realisation and that He is at all times willing to guide you into the truth but that you first have to fulfil the conditions if you want to live within the truth. You should not assume yourselves capable of being able to ascertain the truth with your intellect alone, for your intellectual thinking will move into the wrong direction as long as God is excluded, just as the will for truth, the serious request for it, has to be present, which God considers to be the request for Himself, for He Himself is the truth of eternity …. And prerequisite for this sincere request is the fact that the person is willing to relinquish his prior knowledge in exchange for pure truth, that he opens himself to the knowledge he is allowed to receive after he has proven his faith in God with his sincere appeal for spiritual enlightenment, for receiving the pure truth. God will impart the truth to anyone who seriously desires it, and He will give him the power of realisation at the same time ….

But what is to be understood by truth in this context? …. It is the truth coming from God, which is not verifiable through earthy methods …. it concerns problems which occupy every thinking person, which he would like to solve and which are insolvable by purely rational means …. It is the knowledge of the very first beginning and the ultimate goal of everything in existence …. the knowledge of meaning and purpose of creation, of meaning and purpose of earthly life …. it is the knowledge of all correlations between the Creator with His living beings and creations …. It is the answer to all questions which you humans are unable to answer intellectually, or rather, for which you cannot provide the evidence for the accuracy of your answer …. You can only ever assume and think correctly or wrongly …. God, however, gives you the truth …. if you comply with His conditions ….

And this pure truth shall be presented to everyone. It is up to you humans whether you want to accept it, whether you adjust your attitude such that you will recognise it as truth, for you have free will …. And even the most precious spiritual information cannot compel acceptance, for it is offered to you in a way that you can accept or reject it, depending on your attitude towards Him, towards faith and towards love ….

Amen

‘Test the spirits ….’ False Christs and prophets ….

B.D. 5701 from June 19th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Test the spirits whether they are of God …. When you accept spiritual knowledge it is very important to seriously examine its origin …. You should and need to scrutinise it because you are responsible for your soul yourselves, which can only benefit from the truth but whose higher development is endangered by misguided spiritual information. If you are offered spiritual concepts, i.e. knowledge which cannot be earthly verified, you need to subject it to serious investigation. You should know that light and darkness fight each other, that the prince of darkness fights against pure truth, that he will try anything to lead people into wrong thinking and not even shy away from shrouding himself in the garment of an angel in order to deceive people ….

But you can expose him yourselves, you can test which spirit conveys spiritual knowledge to you. And the criteria you should consider with serious examination are: that the conveyed mental information proclaims Jesus Christ as Son of God and Redeemer of the world, that its message consists of His doctrine of love and that you are reminded to follow Jesus …. Then you may unconditionally accept it and address God Himself as the source of knowledge conveyed to you, then you may endorse it as divine truth. You need not fear to be pushed into misguided thinking by the spirit of darkness, for he will never acknowledge Jesus Christ, Who has delivered the world from sin.

False Christs and false prophets will arise, and particularly during the last days before the end …. They will speak the name of Jesus Christ with their mouth and yet they will not be true messengers of His divine teaching of love, because they themselves will not do as they preach or their teachings are of a worldly nature, they will not be recognisable as true Christians. And this verbal confession is frequently a disguise which hides the enemy of truth. They will not truly believe in Jesus’ Words, which He spoke on earth, in his promises, for they lack love, the sign of a true follower of Jesus ….

Consequently their words will be without spirit, they will be without strength, they cannot be considered as purely divine truth and need also be seriously scrutinised. But you can make this test anytime if you, in the sincere desire for truth, ask God Himself for His help to enlighten your spirit, to guide your thoughts right and to teach you to always differentiate between truth and error, and everyone who desires the spirit of God will receive it ….

Amen

Limits of knowledge ….

B.D. 5702 from June 20th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You should be able to gain insight into all areas, I Myself want to guide and teach you, I want to inform you of what you want to know, for I alone instruct you truthfully, and I alone can also give you the power of realization which you can never acquire yourselves but which is handed out by Me as a gift of grace to the one who is seriously willing to attain maturity. No limits are set for the human being’s knowledge, however, he sets limits for himself because he only intellectually seeks to explore areas unknown to him and because the intellect is limited. But he can exceed these limits at any time if he enters into contact with Me through love …. These words will be incomprehensible to you who have not yet penetrated spiritual knowledge, it will sound incomprehensible to you that you draw more wisdom on the path of the heart than your intellect can ever produce …. It will be incomprehensible to you that the feeling of the heart can surpass the sharpest intellectual thinking, that the human being who shapes himself into love has access to all areas which the cleverest scientist, who lacks love, will never be able to enter ……. But simple is the explanation of this: He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him …. Anyone who lives in love is always connected with Me, I Myself am present to him, the connection between a loving person and Me is so intimate that the union results in the awakening of the divine spark in the human being, which is a part of Myself and which now also reveals to the human being everything he desires to know …. He answers, as it were, from within every question the human being now asks which concerns such areas which are intellectually closed to the human being …. You humans can only receive this knowledge through the heart, there is no limit to the person who takes this path, who allows himself to be taught by Me Myself through the spiritual spark within him …. However, he can now also represent his knowledge as truth with full conviction, because he receives realization and power of judgment at the same time as knowledge, because if I instruct the human being Myself I will truly answer his questions in the most understandable way and he will also recognize Me Myself as his teacher. And thus I repeat: You all have to be taught by God if you want to know the truth, if you want to have knowledge at your disposal which is comprehensive and goes beyond earthly intellectual knowledge. My spirit must first be able to work in you if you want to gain insight into areas which are otherwise closed to you humans …. I do not set any limits to the human being’s knowledge, but the human being sets his own limits if he is distant from Me, if he lives without love and thus makes the working of My spirit impossible ….

Amen

Purpose for creation …. Process of evolution ….

B.D. 5703 from June 21st 1953, taken from Book No. 62

The world, with all its creations that are visible to you, only serves one purpose: the return of the spirit, which had once fallen away from God and which is bound in countless individual substances or tiny sparks of spiritual essence within these creations, in order to gradually evolve again by means of constant change of location, by means of constant transformation of its outer appearance, until it reaches a certain degree of maturity. This then enables this spirit to incarnate as the soul within the human being, from which the final return to God should now take place of its own volition …. The spirit has indeed walked an infinitely long way before its incarnation as human being, it is a journey which began with the immense torture of confinement and stayed in confinement for an endless long time until the bond began to loosen and eventually eased more and more but always being a state of bondage for the spiritual substance from which, however, the human being can release himself it he so wants ….

Hence your human soul has passed through all these creations which are visible to you and you have now arrived at the last stage of your evolution on earth. You only have to accomplish your last task on this earth and then you can, free of all earthly restrictions, once again live in the realm which you once had left of your own free will because of your rebellion against God …. And your last task on earth is …. to totally submit yourselves of your own free will to the eternal God because a long time ago you revolted against God …. to serve with love because in the past you wanted to rule with cruelty …. to become perfect again through love because you deprive yourselves of all divine qualities when you sin against God …. You shall become full of light and strong again, as you were in the beginning …. Because you came forth from God as perfect beings but who have no awareness of themselves because they are without love, because they had distanced themselves from God and therefore could no longer be enlightened by His love, since every resistance to God also renders His love ineffective although God’s love for His living creations won’t end eternally ….

The process of development from below to above takes place with everything and through everything you see. Thus the meaning and purpose of creation as well as the meaning and purpose of your life on earth has been briefly explained to you. You may and must know of this so that you can consciously strive towards the last goal on earth, just as you must know of Him Who is God and Creator to all of you. It is He Who wants to be recognised and loved by you as Father to give you the measure of love that enables you to return to your original state once more, so that you end your life on earth as His children and return home to Him to create and work with Him and in accordance with His will, as is your destiny since time immemorial ….

In order to give you human beings this knowledge, this awareness, He speaks to you Himself, He lets you hear His Word and teaches you by means of His Word, He informs you of His will, the compliance to which must inevitably result in that degree of maturity again which you had given away of your own free will. All He asks of you is to transform yourselves to love …. If you comply with His will then your upward development is also ensured, then you accomplish your task on earth, then the way from the deepest depth towards the height has successfully been travelled with the result that you are united again with God, from Whom you once separated and with Whom you now stay united forever ….

Amen

Own responsibility …. statement on truth ….

B.D. 5704 from June 22nd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Every person bears responsibility for his soul himself, and therefore it is not enough that he merely joins a community as a follower which relieves him of his own thinking, which prescribes his actions and omissions and which he now blindly follows without his own judgement as to whether the demands are justified, whether he himself can gain something for his soul if he does what is demanded of him. He bears a great responsibility towards his soul, for he prepares its fate for eternity through his conduct on earth …. Nor will he ever be able to pass this responsibility on to people who have taught or guided him wrongly, because he himself was given intellect and free will and should make use of them. However, he himself is not serious about the immortality of his soul, he does not believe in it correctly, he is lukewarm towards everything that relates to his spiritual development. And he has to answer for it ….. Every person’s thoughts will be pointed out, no person will be able to claim that he has never thought about the life after death …. Everyone will process such thoughts within himself at times but often reject them unwillingly and resist any further mental influence from the spiritual kingdom. And he must also answer for this, because he himself rejects every means which could help him gain the right realization. Every person has to answer for himself, and he has the right and the duty to take a stand himself on all teachings which are presented to him as spiritual truth. For he must just as well be able to accept them as error as accept them as truth, because it is demonstrable that there are many schools of thought and each one differs in its teachings from the other. If he now wants to represent one of them as truth, he first has to convince himself that this teaching is truth, and this requires a conscientious examination, which, however, he cannot undertake without God’s call for His assistance. He must be interested in the pure truth and know that only truth will lead him to the aim, that only through truth can he help his soul to a blissful fate in eternity. And therefore he has the duty to search for the truth, thus also to examine everything as to whether it corresponds to the truth. No person gains an advantage for his soul as a follower, he must gain everything for himself and therefore let his own will become active, he must always desire support from above, he must establish the bond with God himself and always seek to fulfil His will …. This serious will will soon also earn him right thinking, he will become aware of his state and his task on earth and now seriously strive to live such that he will one day be able to answer to God, his creator and father of eternity ….

Amen

Serious admonition …. Materialistic outlook ….

B.D. 5705 from June 22nd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You humans only have eyes for the world, you only lust after earthly treasures, you aim to satisfy the appetites of your bodies, you only move in an area dominated by matter but everything of a spiritual nature is silenced by you …. Yet your body is only the shell for what will continue to exist after your physical death, your body is only your soul’s abode for a short period of time. It is the soul which should accomplish maturity through earthly life, but because of your materialistic attitude you let it starve, and thus it will enter the spiritual kingdom in a wretched condition. The physical world is the kingdom of the banished spirits, although you live on it as human beings too it is nevertheless your last stage before your entrance into the spiritual kingdom. As long as you are so dominated by the worldly spirit that you only ever desire material possessions, that you only plan and work for this earthly world, you will be enslaved by matter, even though, as its master, you should rise above it. You are using your whole energy of life to purely reinforce the realm of God’s adversary when you strive for the world and its commodities. But you should use the energy of life to gather spiritual values, to acquire eternal treasures, you should voluntarily part with commodities which are short-lived and which will be taken from you one day, which you cannot take across into eternity. You should use your energy of life correctly and acquire everlasting values you can work with in the spiritual kingdom, they represent treasures for you which will make you truly happy.

You are more than just all material creations, because these were only created for you to serve you as a means to reach perfection …. But you humans fail to recognise their value, you are aiming for the world instead of recognising it as a obstacle to your spiritual development. You serve matter rather than let matter serve you, you allow yourselves to be controlled by it and become its slaves. And that means that you are preparing your soul’s death, that it will be surrounded by a thick cover when it enters the kingdom of the beyond so that no ray of light can get through this cover. Consequently the soul will suffer tremendously until the cover is dissolved, which could take an eternity, providing the cover does not get increasingly harder still and there is no further hope for the soul to discard it. You humans have no idea what you are doing to your soul when you are focussed on earthly-material things, when you only want to acquire material things. Recognise the transience of your surroundings and remember what is everlasting. Do not live your earthly life in vain because you only received it for the maturing of your soul, of the spiritual essence within you, which can only use spiritual food in order to develop, in order to leave the body without a cover when your hour has come …. Consider your soul and turn your mind towards the spirit …. because your soul will continue to exist but all worldliness will pass away ….

Amen

Faith in God …. revelation …. truth ….

B.D. 5706 from June 24th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

I want to be acknowledged as God and creator, as your father from eternity. I must first demand faith in Me from you humans; you must have gained the inner conviction that you emerged from the strength and might of a being Which works and rules in all perfection, under Whose will you are but Which draws close to you with never-ending love because you emerged from His love. I must demand this faith, for only it places you in the right relationship with Me, firstly in the relationship of the creature to the creator, to Whom you submit yourselves, and then in the relationship of the child to the father, Whom you love and towards Whom you strive. I don’t want to know you forever as beings isolated from Me, I want to be closely united with you, I want to achieve the aim I set for Myself when I called you into being: to work and create with perfect divine beings whom I can make infinitely happy as My children, whom I love and whose love I want to possess in full measure. Faith in Me, Whom you cannot see and yet can recognize, is the basic condition, the first step on the path to becoming a true child of your father, for in order to strive towards Me I must first be recognized, I must be so conceivable to My living creations that they can love Me; yet I can only reveal Myself to them as a supremely perfect being if they believe in Me, that I am real and true …. And they can gain this faith, for they need only desire to know the truth about their origin, about their being and about their destiny …. Where I recognize this desire in a person there is also a right ground for a strong convinced faith in Me …. and there I reveal Myself in many ways …. through creation, through everything the human being sees around him, I reveal Myself to them mentally, I bring the truth close to them in every form, I guide him onto the right path where he will surely find what he desires: information about Me as God and creator, as father from eternity. Every person can believe if he wants to …. but only when he believes in Me can I have an effect on him, because you, as a human being in the stage of free will, must be spared all coercive spiritual influence so that your development will not be endangered. But once the human being has attained faith of his own free will he will also experience the strength and power and love of the one in Whom he believes, for as soon as he acknowledges Me he has taken the path of ascent where he will constantly receive help from above to reach his aim. Believing in Me, i.e., in My existence, can also result in lively intellectual activity, for I have given the human being the intellect for this purpose, so that he can draw conclusions from the existence of that which is apparent to him as creation …. By virtue of his intellect he can already recognize a power above himself to which he is at the mercy, which disregards human will, which is stronger than the human being himself. Yet whether he is able to love this power, whether he wants to strive towards it, is up to his free will, and depending on this will this power also reveals itself to the human being …. For I want My creatures to become blessed, to establish contact with Me in order to reveal Myself to them as a God of love, wisdom and power …. as a father Who longs for His children ….

Amen

"Create and work …." endless long night ….

B.D. 5707 from June 25th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

An infinitely long night follows the day which is already drawing to a close, a night which will be so agonizing that you humans should do everything not to fall prey to this night. For you can remain in brightest light if you want it yourselves, the coming night need not frighten you if you hear your heavenly father’s admonitions and warnings and take them to heart, if you live according to the father’s will and thus will also be admitted into His kingdom at the end of this earth, where it is always brightest day. That is why the words are held up to you again and again: Create and work while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work. It is still in your power and in your will to avert the night from you, but when the hour will have struck, then complete powerlessness and darkness will be the fate of those who do not listen to the words from above, who leave the day with its light unused, who do not work for their souls. It is still day …. but not for long, then the period of grace will have expired, then the day of the separation of spirits will come, the day of judgment, where everyone will receive what he strives for, where there will be a general reckoning and God’s justice will prevail because His love was not heeded and because sin has gained the upper hand and brings humanity a fate it does not want to believe in because it is already in the night of the spirit. Create and work while it is still day, while you humans still have vitality which you should make good use of for works of active neighbourly love …. then you can provide yourselves with light, then you need not belong to those who will sink into the deepest night in the end, then you will find mercy with God, He will lead you to His congregation, to those who will fight for Him until the end …. Then you, too, will be accepted into their flock and experience the blessings of a profound faith in Him …. then it will become ever brighter in you, then you will well knowingly approach the time when the great darkness will befall the earth, yet you entrust yourselves to your father in heaven that He will take you away from earth so that you need not share the fate of those for whom the day comes to an end and who will be swallowed up by an endless night …. See to it that there is light in you, that at least a little light flares up, which then becomes ever brighter the stronger your will is for the life of the soul, for light and bliss ….

Amen

Deciding for the right lord ….

B.D. 5708 from June 26th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Choose your lord as long as you walk the earth, but choose rightly …. For the one you choose will also prepare your fate in eternity. Therefore this decision on earth is very significant for you and yet no-one else can make it for you, you must choose the lord yourselves to whom you want to hand yourselves over for eternity, and therefore you must also know what the lord offers you in return for your acknowledgement of Him. You must choose between God and His adversary …. This choice should not be difficult for you, for everyone strives for what seems to be the highest for him. And he will always give God priority, but for many people God’s adversary is their ‘God’ Who grants them everything they desire and Whom they therefore prefer to the God Who is distant from them because they have distanced themselves from Him. And thus it is a matter of subjecting the goods to scrutiny which are offered to people by those they are supposed to choose between. And even now the goods offered to them by God’s adversary appear more tempting to people, whereas the spiritual goods, even though they have eternal value, the goods God wants to give to people, are not desirable to most people because they cannot grasp them or see them and therefore God’s adversary will have more followers who give him their voice, who acknowledge him as lord and surrender to him without misgivings …. And you humans are in great danger, especially in the time of the end, that you will no longer recognize the right lord, that you will not see or want to see His love and mercy and therefore pass Him by and rush towards the lord Who wants to destroy you. For this reason God sends messengers along the path who sound their voices loudly and warn you humans to continue on the chosen path because it leads to ruin. And these messengers are commissioned by God Himself to bring light to you humans, to urge you onto the right path, to draw your attention to the many dazzling and deceptive lights which flash on the chosen path but which are not true lights for the human being who seeks the right path and wants to walk it. These callers proclaim the right lord, the God of love and justice, wisdom and power, mercy and grace; they speak for Him, Whom they have recognized as their lord and to Whom they are devoted in love. Anyone who is to make a serious decision must also have faithful counsellors, and God Himself sends these to people because He loves them and wants to save them. But as people adjust themselves to the world, so is their attitude towards their lord …. Worldly people strive for everything that is subject to the lord of the world, they are in the realm of God’s adversary and therefore also desire his treasures and thus also himself. But he who has overcome the world seeks other treasures, and he also strives towards the lord Who has these spiritual treasures to bestow. And he makes the right choice which he will never regret, which also opens his entrance into the kingdom of God, he makes the right decision for eternity …. And so you humans now know that you bear a great responsibility towards your soul, which will now be considered in eternity as you choose as a human being on earth …. You can acquire the highest bliss for your soul but you can also plunge it into deep suffering, into darkness and torment, depending on the lord’s choice, to Whom you give priority as long as you live on earth …. There is only one Who can prepare a blissful fate for you …. your God and father from eternity …. You must make yourselves completely His own and detest His adversary who will plunge you into utmost darkness if you are willing to do his bidding. Therefore do not let yourselves be blinded and deceived by the goods of this world …. They are transient and will not create any advantage for you in the spiritual kingdom. Seek God and His kingdom on earth and then receive the gifts which His love will offer you one day in eternity as a reward ….

Amen

Free will basic law …. test of will of the spiritual ….

B.D. 5709 from June 27th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

The directed spiritual is to be redeemed, it is to become free for once, the banished spiritual, which is to be understood by matter, is to be restored to its original state so that it can freely create and create in divine order, so that it is once again a blissful being as it was in the beginning. But at a certain stage of development, when it has regained free will, it must also pass a test of will …. the same test it was once supposed to pass but failed. A free being must also call free will its own, but a perfect being must move this free will in divine order …. Thus it will only be perfect when its will is rightly directed without coercion …. the being’s free will cannot be steered into a certain direction under compulsion, the being can only be exposed to positive and negative influence and then decide for itself which direction it wants to take. And this free decision of will takes place for every being in the stage as a human being, which is why earthly life is of utmost importance, because it concerns the redemption from a bound state, because God, after an infinitely long time of banishment, now gives the being an extremely short time to test its will which, however, is fully sufficient for the final decision. People must know what this last decision means, they must know that this decision determines their fate in eternity …. With the right attitude towards God, with a life of faith and love, the teaching about it would also appear acceptable to them, they would live their way of life in accordance with God’s will and thus also make the right decision of their own accord …. but since they lack faith in God and love, since they don’t establish the right relationship between the created being and the creator, they don’t accept instruction about their earthly task either, they lack all knowledge, yet through their own fault. And since freedom of will is an irrevocable law, the human being cannot be given knowledge against his will which he rejects in free will. Free will is a fundamental law which can earn a being unlimited beatitude but which can also postpone the redemption of the spiritual for an infinitely long time because the state of perfection cannot be created but requires precisely this free will. What emerged from God was in possession of free will, for they were God’s creations which He externalized from Himself in all perfection …. that the beings became imperfect is due to the fact that they moved their free will in the wrong direction despite their realization, despite their state of light. Free will could be directed positively or negatively, and through the direction of its will the being should prove its perfection, it should be able to choose for itself, and it decided wrongly …. It strove towards the opposite pole of God and lost its perfection …. But God’s works cannot be lost, they cannot remain at a distance from Him forever, they will one day give up their oppositional attitude towards God and strive towards Him again …. For His infinite love has eternally known ways and means to bring back that which once voluntarily turned away from Him. Yet not a single means disregards free will, and not a single being can circumvent the free will test …. But the being shall make the decision in earthly life as a human being …. And with His love and an unlimited measure of grace God influences the human being’s will without, however, forcing him to turn to Him. He certainly courts all His creations with all love, yet free will is never eliminated, the fundamental law of eternity ….

Amen

Book of Books …. God's Word ….

B.D. 5710 from June 28th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

The Scriptures, which testify of Me, would fully suffice to proclaim My will to people, it would also guide them to the light, to enlightenment, if My will were done, and they would attain beatitude. Yet this book, the Book of the Fathers, has lost its value for many people; it is no longer the book which imparts My Word to them because their unbelief also concerns the origin of the Scriptures, they cannot believe that My spirit was working in My disciples, that this spirit motivated them to write down what I Myself did and taught while I lived on earth. And therefore they no longer appraise this Word of Mine as it should be appraised …. as the proclamation of My will which requires people to fulfil the commandments …. of love for God and their neighbour ….

They would only need to acknowledge that these two commandments were given to people by Me and if they endeavoured to live on earth in accordance with these two commandments they would very soon learn to appreciate the accuracy and truth of all other teachings which My disciples recorded on My behalf for all people …. But they do not live with love, and therefore they also lack understanding for everything contained in the Scriptures. As a result, they also doubt the origin, they do not recognise Me as the source of the Word that testifies of Me. However, they nevertheless should be informed of My Word, they nevertheless should know My will and thus made directly aware of the One Who manifests Himself in many ways ….

They should know that it is possible for Me to convey My Word to earth at any time, that I instruct people through the spirit at all times just as I taught My apostles when I no longer lived amongst them in the flesh. They should know that the pouring out of the spirit was not a unique occurrence which only happened to My disciples, but that time and again I pour My spirit into an open vessel, that I instruct people in the same way as I once instructed My disciples and thus convey My Word to them, which again only reveals My will to live within love, and as a result of their compliance with My will to then guide the person into truth, to explain to him the correlation between the creation and its creator, the destiny and goal of everything that is visible, thus to bestow comprehensive knowledge to him which denotes brightest light to the soul and enables it to find the path to eternal life ….

By transmitting My Word I only intend to achieve the possibility for the human being to shape himself into love …. The Scriptures, too, only ever teach love, thus its origin has to be from Me Myself, Who is eternal love. But since love has grown cold amongst humanity, people are no longer able to recognise the deeper value of what is written, they are spiritually blind and lack all judgment. Therefore they shall be confronted again by living representatives of My Word who, although they will not bring them anything new, they will nevertheless be able to advocate the old Word with conviction and demonstrate it anew …. namely, that love is the first commandment I expect to be fulfilled, and that all additional knowledge, the higher awareness of truth, only arises from love …. My Word shall be widely spread again, for once again I say to My chosen disciples ‘Go into the world and teach all nations ….’ For people have to hear My Gospel, they have to know that the Scriptures may not be dismissed, that it comprises the truth which I Myself proclaimed to My disciples through the spirit …. They should know that I will always and forever transmit the same Word to earth and that My Word will remain even when heaven and earth pass away ….

Amen

Warning to intersperse spiritual receptions with ideas ….

B.D. 5711 from June 29th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

To draw from the fullness of the spirit also means complete independence from all knowledge that is brought to the human being from outside. Whoever is allowed to draw from the fullness of the spirit should, as far as possible, keep himself free from other knowledge so that the received spiritual knowledge is not interspersed with knowledge which has been intellectually gained and therefore does not need to correspond to the truth. Where divine strength is obviously active this supply of strength should only ever be increased, but this can only happen through increased loving activity and constant demand for divine strength. But knowledge should never be added as a supplement which has a different origin than the source of divine love, the working of the spirit of God. Then the pure truth will also remain, then no falsification will occur, it can be spoken of the pure word of God which finds access from above to a person who denies access to all other spiritual knowledge …. And therefore it is advisable to only ever adhere to spiritual receptions and to shut oneself off from the world, i.e. from thought material which in a certain sense can be called worldly if it originates from intellectual knowledge, if it is gained through study, if it is worldly recognized and advocated by people who have not yet found the intimate contact with God which results in the working of the divine spirit. Where the word of God is conducted from above to earth, there is a fresh spring from which the living water flows forth without any turbidity, pure and clear and full of vitality. And this spring must be carefully guarded against contamination, the water of life must be drunk as pure as it flows from it, it should not be mixed with an additive because then it loses its strength …. It is a most delicious gift which is offered to you humans through God’s great love …. Let yourselves be satisfied with His gift and resist those who want to bring you the same, which you cannot acknowledge as the same because it was not commanded to you from above …. The will may be good but you should set your will against it and keep the word from above pure, you should not agree to a coalition which only means a danger for the pure truth. Go into silence yourselves from time to time and listen within and examine your feelings, which will express themselves defensively if spiritual knowledge other than that received from above is supplied to you. God gives the truth but people are not content with it, they try to improve it and add to it or take away from it as it seems right to them …. yet they thereby reduce the value of divine revelations, they deprive the word of the strength which only the word received directly from God contains. God’s word has strength and affects every willing soul, and it truly needs no addition from human mouths …. and it will retain its strength as long as it is kept pure, as long as the human being only listens to the voice of Him Who makes Himself known to him through the spirit ….

Amen

Sudden end even for the believers ….

B.D. 5712 from June 30th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

The hour of the end will come unexpectedly for many of those who know of it, for they, too, still deem it far away, because the commotion in the world does not yet reveal any decline, because the signs of the end are not yet obvious enough, even if they certainly consider it possible that they are living in the end time. And even My believers are as yet unable to seriously get used to the idea that they will live to see the end, for they are still firmly down to earth themselves, they see their fellow human beings constantly bustling with activity and the spiritual knowledge seems almost unreal to them in view of worldly people’s aspirations, in view of the earthly progress and people’s future hopes and expectations. Hence they, too, will be taken by surprise and realise that the apparently unreal is becoming reality and that people’s hopes will be shattered. The end will come like a thief in the night …. yet it announces itself in advance, it casts its shadows, prior to it something will happen on a smaller scale, a natural disaster of immense proportions will announce itself and this will be the last admonition, the final indication of the end …. And although you humans doubt or refuse to believe it …. My plan of eternity is definite, and everything in the universe happens according to this plan. The end will arrive suddenly, because My admonitions and warnings are being ignored, which are truly constantly sent to humanity so that they will not experience the end unprepared. And the only reason for My announcements is to make sure that people will prepare themselves for it, that they consider the end and start the work of improving their soul, that they will live according to their short physical life which can nevertheless lead to the soul’s maturity.

It is My will that all My admonitions and warnings shall be distributed, I want people to be informed of it, just as it is My will that the day of Judgment and the fate of those who have deserted Me shall be bluntly presented to them, for people can achieve their own deliverance, the end need not signify the hour of terror for them, they can also calmly look forward to the end if they comply with what is lovingly recommended to them, if they prepare themselves, that is, if they still live on earth according to My will until the last hour has come. Although they are indeed unable to postpone this hour they can nevertheless await it consciously because it signifies the end of suffering for those who have found Me and will only harshly affect people who have renounced Me and therefore are no longer entitled to inhabit the earth which is only intended to help the soul attain maturity …. The end will come as certain as night will follow the day …. the day was determined an eternity ago yet you don’t know when it will come …. However, you should believe that everything I announced and continue to announce through seers and prophets will come true, that the day is close at hand for you, that it will take all of you by surprise and that you therefore should consider every day as the last one in order to live consciously and to work at improving yourselves. Then you will never again need to fear the end but look forward to it with complete trust in My coming, which will deliver those of you who believe from greatest adversity ….

Amen

Forwarding the divine word …. blessing ….

B.D. 5713 from July 1st 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Spreading My word is the task of all those to whom I convey My word. Anyone who receives gifts of grace from Me should also pass them on, for love for one’s neighbour dictates that everyone receives what he needs in order to become blissfully happy, that everyone gives what he owns himself and what makes him happy. In addition, people need to know that I reveal Myself, that I obviously help people on earth in their great spiritual adversity, for spiritual adversity consists precisely of ignorance about the purpose of earthly life and the human being’s task. If people are now facing a turning point, if they are threatened by greatest danger and do not know about it themselves, then I would not be a God of love and mercy if I did not want to draw their attention to this danger through warnings and admonitions and not give them the opportunity to turn it away from themselves, to escape from it. Precisely because people are blind in spirit, a light shall be given to them, and light can only be kindled by the one who possesses light himself …. Therefore, what you receive from Me through My love and grace also impart to those who walk in darkness …. My eternal plan of salvation remains in place and nothing can change My will, and what has been decided since eternity will also be irrevocably carried out, yet the state in which humanity experiences the planned state is decisive, and I still want to improve this state as far as the human being’s will itself allows …. Tell all people about what is about to happen, draw their attention to the fact that their life is in danger, but that they can also lose the life of their soul with their physical death, that they are preparing a dreadful fate for the soul if they don’t change, if they don’t recognize and acknowledge Me and thus also live according to My will …. Present to them the significance of their way of life, that they attain spiritual things if they strive for spiritual things, but that hard matter will infallibly become their fate if they do not detach themselves from matter, if they only live a purely worldly life and do not remember their God …. Pass on your knowledge and believe that I bless you for it, that you can thereby reduce the hardship of erring souls and that you are thus helping to redeem those who still languish in hard bondage …. who, in blindness of spirit, follow the one who is against Me. To release them from this is a blessed work which you carry out for Me, for I love all My living creations and want to win them over for Myself, I want all to become blissfully happy ….

Amen

Help for weak souls in the afterlife ….

B.D. 5714 from July 2nd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Not an hour should you be idle which you can use for the redemption of the spiritual. It is work which signifies the highest degree of neighbourly love if you help the souls to release themselves from their bondage, the souls which are too weak themselves and depend on your help, irrespective of whether they are still on earth or already in the beyond …. You, who are knowledgeable, you can help, you can bring them what they themselves lack …. you can help them gain strength if you lovingly take care of them, but you can also instruct them that they should only ever use the strength imparted to them for loving activity and that they can thereby always acquire more strength. On earth people likewise have to be stimulated into loving activity if their souls are to be released from their shackles. Therefore, whatever you can do to first convey the knowledge to your fellow human beings or the souls in the beyond that redemption is possible and how it is possible, you should not refrain from doing, even if you cannot yet see the effect your activity will have …. You should constantly remember that countless souls are in greatest need. And if you lack the opportunity on earth to instruct your fellow human beings, to share your rich knowledge with them or to admonish them to be lovingly active, then take care of the souls in the kingdom of the beyond who are extremely grateful to you for your will to help, who also accept your instructions, who surround you because they feel a certain strengthening in your proximity and who constantly appeal to you for the supply of this strength. Teach them in your thoughts or carry the word of God to them …. And you will find grateful listeners, and your work for God and His kingdom will truly be blessed. Don’t let an hour go by unused when you can carry out redemptive work, for earthly activity only has earthly success but spiritual activity surpasses all earthly success because it yields everlasting goods, goods for which the souls sincerely thank you as soon as they have recognized the hardship they are or were in. Also try to open up the spiritual kingdom to your fellow human beings, try to change their thinking, try to open up areas to them which are foreign to them and also help them onto the path which leads into the spiritual kingdom. Try to convey to them the realization that not earthly life but life in the spiritual kingdom after their death is the actual life they should strive for during their earthly life. Use every hour you can work for God and His kingdom, for the time you have left to work for Him is only short and the spiritual hardship is immense. But you can reduce it if only you are willing to be redemptively active, if you want to help where help is needed ….

Amen

The Word of God …. Ray of light …. The door of your heart …. Guest ….

B.D. 5715 from July 3rd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Anyone who opens the door of his heart to let the light shine in will truly not need to fear the night anymore, for the light will shine for him from within, which no-one will be able to extinguish anymore. And thus no shadow will be able to fall upon the light, no other power will be able to darken it, for the light from above will also burst through the layer the enemy would like to spread across the light …. The light from above is the ray of wisdom which originates from God and which is so effective that even the person touched by it will strive towards God, i.e., that the light coming from God will flow back to God and pull everything that once separated itself from God along with it …. For the light is the divine light of love, it has an inconceivable effect on that which is still far away from God providing it is merely receptive to His ray of love. And this is why the Word coming forth from God, which is an obvious expression of His love’s activity, has to ignite as light in people’s hearts and dispel all darkness, erroneous thoughts, misguided concepts and, therefore, wrong will. The human being must clearly recognise what he needs and what he should strive for. It has to enlighten him, and that means that he will then eagerly strive towards the eternal light, because the light gives him pleasure and because he wants to be forever blissfully happy. The light from above is a touch of God’s love Which wants to benevolently influence the soul so that it will turn to Him …. Yet the light is unable to shine into an unreceptive heart. People’s hearts must open themselves, and they ought to be encouraged to do so. A loving person must knock and present himself as a peace- and joy-bringing guest, he must, if only a small gap opens, send in a warming ray in order to open the door ever more until the guest is accepted, whose light will then fill a hitherto dark room and drive out the night ….

Anyone who spreads the Word of God amongst people in this way, who eagerly makes an effort to pass on His light, who goes to great lengths where a little success can be expected, is a faithful servant in the vineyard of the Lord, he is preparing the way for Him Who will follow and desire admittance, if He knocks in order to feast with those who open the door to Him. He is a loyal labourer for God and His kingdom whose work will always be blessed ….

Amen
