Light of knowledge in dark night ….

B.D. 5752 from August 23rd 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You will be endowed with gifts which enable you to cooperate in the salvation of erring souls. You offered yourselves to Me for service, I accepted you, but the service you are to render Me also requires a suitability for it, it requires that you first enjoy training in order to be able to administer the office into which I now appoint you. You shall help Me to rescue erring souls from greatest adversity, to bring light into the darkness of night …. You shall spread My word amongst your fellow human beings. It is a teaching activity for which I need you, it is the distribution of knowledge which corresponds to the truth, because the spiritual darkness can only be penetrated by a light which has exceedingly great illuminating power …. A light which shines far into the night must be placed in the darkness …. But who of you humans possesses such a light himself …. who can consider himself in possession of knowledge which fully corresponds to the truth if he has not been commanded it by Me Myself? …. Thus I Myself must impart such knowledge to you so that you will be convinced that you can bring a bright light to people which will not fail to have an effect, which will send its rays far into the night and clearly show those who walk through the night a path which leads towards the bright morning. An almost impenetrable darkness is spread over the earth and the people who are surrounded by this darkness are irretrievably lost, for they are striving towards the abyss because they have deviated from the right path …. Only a light can still save them, only a light can show them the perilous path and cause them to turn back, only a light lets them find the right path …. And where a light is kindled, there the danger is averted. But the light can only come from the source of light …. it can only be kindled by Me Myself, but only when the spark of love is kindled in a person’s heart, when the tiny spark which rests in every person’s heart allows itself to be seized by the fire of eternal love and then flares up into a bright flame …. Only then is it possible to show and reveal everything to the human being …. to impart knowledge to him which he now also grasps because the flame of love enlightens his spirit, orders his thinking and lets him recognize everything which was previously hidden from him. Then he will be suitable for an office because he will be able to administer it conscientiously, because he will work with his knowledge for the benefit of his fellow human beings, because he will be able to carry the light out to them, who are wretched creatures in spiritual darkness and will remain so without help. But the human being should not let any talent lie idle …. thus he must not hide his light under a bushel either, as he has become knowledgeable himself he must try to spread this knowledge; he must …. feeling the benefit of light himself, he must also want to bestow this benefit on his fellow human beings, then he will use the gifts I endow him with, then he will fulfil the mission he was given as a result of his willingness to serve …. Then he will be truly redemptively active, then he can and will lead many souls out of the night of the spirit into the bright morning, then he will bring salvation to the souls from deepest spiritual adversity …. Then he will be a faithful co-worker with Me in the redemption of erring souls on earth and in the spiritual kingdom.

Amen

Listening to God's voice ….

B.D. 5753 from August 24th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You should listen to Me, and I will always speak to you such that you will also be able to recognise My love for you …. Everything around you can and will change …. but My love for you remains the same, it pursues you whether you are far away or close by, and it constantly seeks to influence you, that is, to awaken reciprocated love in you, which signifies your ultimate return to Me. And if I can address you, if you listen to Me, you will open your heart’s door to Me, and then the full strength of My love can be effective, then I can ignite a fire in you which cannot be extinguished anymore, because My love is so powerful that its fire dissolves all resistance, that it takes hold of the person’s nature and changes him completely …. that it shapes the person into love. I desire contact with you, this is why I speak to you …. If you listen to Me willingly then you will establish the connection with Me, and then I can revive what is dead, I can give true life to you who are still dead while you are far away from Me. My Words shall change this dead state, for My communication is a ray of love that intends to awaken you to life.

If you then give Me the opportunity to lower My ray of love into your heart, if you make it possible by willingly listening to My Word, you will soon feel the effect in yourselves, you will become aware that you are no longer alone …. you will, as it were, sense the presence of a benevolent being to Whom you will give yourselves without resistance, for My ray of love has the effect that it lowers your resistance when I have the opportunity to speak to you, and you will listen to My Words carefully. And you will always listen to My Words if you withdraw into solitude for a short period of time, if you collect your thoughts in prayer or quietly think about yourselves. Then you always give Me the opportunity to speak to you, albeit you won’t recognise My voice at first but merely believe that you hear your own thoughts ….

I always enter your thoughts since you are, after all, pursued by My love which always tries to embrace you when you become silent and turn your vision inwards. In that case you listen, and then I can speak to you …. And the more consciously you practise this turning away from the world and looking within, the more willingly you open the door of your heart to Me and the more clearly will you hear My voice, which answers your questions or instructs you such that your love for Me flares up, because you will recognise Me as a God of love as soon as you listen to Me, as soon as you turn inwards and your thoughts turn towards Me ….

I always want to speak to you, yet rarely do you listen to Me …. But if you seek solitude by turning your thoughts inwards you will hear Me speak, even though you will not immediately recognise it as an expression of My love, because the intellect cannot grasp as yet what the soul has already felt or comprehended. Yet My communication will ever more consciously become an indescribable blessing for you and all those whom you inform of the fact …. that the Father speaks to His child as soon as the child wants to hear the Father ….

And you all can establish this bond with Me, you all need only listen carefully in order to hear Me, and I merely want to stimulate you to sharpen your spiritual ear, to practise listening to spiritual communications by often withdrawing into solitude and longing for My presence. Then I will be with you and speak to you …. Then I will come to you Myself in the Word, and then you will also know that I love you and want to gain your love as well ….

Amen

Attitude of intellectuals regarding spiritual gifts ….

B.D. 5754 from August 25th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

There will always be people who are difficult for Me and My teaching to win over because they use their intellect too much but only seldom let their heart speak, which recognises Me sooner than the intellect. For the latter is used by My adversary to make himself heard, whereas the heart will hear Me. I can certainly also be intellectually recognised but only after the heart has recognised Me. The intellectual knows little about the gifts of the spirit, of abilities which a person can develop within himself but which have no organic foundation. The intellectual’s path is different from that of a spiritually enlightened person, and since both take different paths their goals also differ …. the goal of one is full of light whilst the other’s goal is bleak and sinister …. People who look for the truth by intellectual means establish their own limitations, because their intellect is limited, whereas the spirit can rise above all limitations since it has access to every region. And thus no person will ever be able to call himself knowledgeable if he purely searches rationally without having previously awakened the spirit …. And the fact that he will not acknowledge information acquired through the working of the spirit testifies to the inadequacy of his intellectual knowledge ….

Nevertheless, I suffer him and his spiritual weakness because he can only be taught when he realises that the final knowledge remains inaccessible to him …. when he realises how little he can achieve with his intellectual knowledge which, in the final analysis, leaves him dissatisfied and which no amount of deliberation can increase …. For the knowledge has to be imparted to him …. not by people but by God …. He has to appeal to Me for it, only then will he increase in knowledge, in light, only then will he accept wisdom, not just earthly knowledge which is inadequate. He must become empty so that he can be filled …. he must let go of earthly knowledge so that he can receive spiritual wisdom, he must search for the light so that he can find it …. only then will My teaching testify to its origin, only then will he strive for My kingdom and only then will My spirit be able to work in him and convey knowledge to him which is accepted by the heart and intellect because it originates from Me ….

Amen

At the end of the earth gate to the spiritual realm closed ….

B.D. 5755 from August 26th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You all have to enter through the gate of eternity after the death of your body, yet it is only open until the end of this earth in order to then close for a long time …. You will only understand this when you know that the soul can also continue to mature in the kingdom of the beyond but that it is also possible to sink into the deepest abyss, which then results in a banishment into solid matter again. Now at the end of this earth this banishment of the spiritual being in the deep takes place, which stands in spiritual death in the kingdom of the beyond as well as on earth, therefore can no longer awaken to life through change of will. The will of these souls is so hardened that it could only be broken through coercion, but this is not intended in God’s plan of salvation, instead, a renewed binding of the will can only bring about a change of will after an infinitely long time …. This point in time has now come with the end of the old earth where the separation of spirits takes place, where people who are completely opposed to God, who have become true devils, and also the worst beings of darkness will be bound in matter again, while the people striving towards God will finally still have to go through a purification fire of their souls in order to then be able to enliven the new earth as spiritually mature people again, thus not entering the kingdom of the beyond as spiritual beings. For the new earth shall be populated with spiritually mature people who are in closest contact with God and therefore will already be transferred to paradise on earth as compensation for the extremely difficult end time, since they have proven their loyalty to God. Yet countless people still live on earth who have deserved neither the height nor the depth, who have not yet descended into the kingdom of darkness and yet would not pass the final test of faith either, but who still have the prospect of attaining the light in the kingdom of the beyond …. whom God’s love and mercy therefore calls upon even before the end of earth in the knowledge of their spiritual state, their weakness and their will …. Hence they will still find entrance into the kingdom of the beyond and can blissfully praise themselves for the last service of love on this earth, which God proves to them by ending their physical life, for they are not irretrievably lost, nor will they have to fear a descent into the abyss in the beyond because many satanic beings will be bound again and therefore the struggle of these souls in the spiritual kingdom will no longer be as difficult as before. But with the end of the old earth a time of rest will come, and the battle between light and darkness will be over for a long time …. Satan is put in chains, he can no longer harass the people on earth who, in most peaceful harmony with each other and in most blissful union with God, radiate such light that the beings in the spiritual kingdom also enjoy this light and ascend incomprehensibly fast …. so that the souls in the beyond can also maintain contact with the people on earth because their will to reach God is obvious …. It is an epoch of peace on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom, which will indeed be replaced again by a time of silent struggle and wrestling of the beings of light for souls which allow themselves to be captured by matter again, until finally satan himself is liberated by people who only strive for what belongs to satan …. who desire the earthly world again with all their senses and forget God about it …. Yet he has lost countless souls in the time of peace, countless souls have eternally returned to their father …. and his power will diminish from one redemption period to the next until he himself will also allow himself to be redeemed in order to return home to the father’s house as a prodigal son ….

Amen

Father words …. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God …."

B.D. 5756 from August 29th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Trust in Me and do not worry, for I will take all your worries upon Myself if you ask Me for them. But you also do what you can do for Me …. gladly and willingly do the work for Me which I assign to you because it has to be carried out by people. My kingdom is not of this world and yet you humans of this world must strive to attain it, and one shall help the other if he cannot find his way into My kingdom. Thus you humans on earth, if you want to be of service to Me, have to guide your fellow human beings because you already know the path but they first have to look for it and need your help to do so. This is work which requires your love for Me and for your fellow human beings, and I want to return this love by helping you if you are in need. I have assured you of remedying your adversity with the words: Seek first the kingdom of God …. everything else will be added to you …. which also means as much as: Work for Me and My kingdom, and then I will also consider you as My servants like a good householder …. You will be able to go through earthly life carefree and light-hearted as soon as you only concern yourselves with the spiritual work of drawing your fellow human beings’ attention to the path which leads into My kingdom …. Not for one hour would you need to find yourselves in earthly adversity if only you would trustingly turn to Me to take it over …. Yet you often become of little faith and fickle, often the earthly world pushes itself between you and Me and you don’t find the strength to break through the wall which separates us; your faith is weak and therefore your worries don’t leave you, and then you also forget My words which promise you help …. but which you have to believe so that the promises will come true.

(8/29/1953) Everything will be bearable for you as long as you maintain the connection with Me, as long as you live in faith in Me and My love and entrust yourselves to Me out of this faith …. Thus, as long as you are in the right relationship with your father as a child you will be assured of His help in every adversity. There will still be much suffering on earth where you will have to prove this faith in Me …. you will still often be in distress because My adversary constantly tempts you, because he wants to bring you down and his effort is to shake your faith, to make you fickle so that he can always influence you more and more …. Don’t let the tempter triumph over you, in every adversity of body and soul turn to the father in heaven, Who only waits for your call to be able to help you; believe Me that I always want to help and that every right prayer will be answered, for one promise also reads: “Ask and it shall be given you, knock and it shall be opened to you ….” You may confidently regard every one of My words as having been spoken to you, and you may trust every one of My words that I will also fulfil them …. And therefore there should be no earthly adversity for you, because if you hand it over to Me you will be free of it. Only your faith in it must be strong and unshakeable …. A loving father does not let His child ask in vain, He helps because He loves His child …. Keep reminding yourselves that you are My children after all and that I want to win your love and trust and therefore will not act unkindly towards you. But often I have to nudge you softly so that you don’t forget your father …. But this, too, is love, because only I can offer you the highest happiness, because you cannot find beatitude elsewhere and therefore I repeatedly try to avert your eyes from the world …. and, if danger threatens, also have to touch you roughly, but always immediately ready to help if you turn to Me again …. It is a wooing for your love, but not a lack of love on My part …. For My adversary also seeks to win you over completely and gives you earthly goods if you turn to him. He tempts you but I seek you and follow you, for I want to lift you up while he wants to overthrow you. Trust and believe that My love applies to you and that you may experience My love at any time, that I am always ready to help if you call upon Me ….

Amen

Free will …. earth fate ….

B.D. 5757 from August 30th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

My plan of salvation has been determined since eternity, i.e., everything unfolds according to a plan which was determined by My love and wisdom, because I have known from eternity what is expedient and therefore apply it in order to enable the beings to receive real healing …. Hence the individual person’s destiny is also determined according to My thought of salvation, because I also know the human being’s will, because every impulse of will and direction has been known to Me since eternity …. But this will is and remains free, even if I have known about it since eternity.

It is incomprehensible to you humans that the human being is not forced into thinking, wanting and acting, that he is completely free to use his will in every direction, but that I have already shaped the human being’s destiny according to this will in order to influence his will in the most favourable way imaginable and thereby achieve the highest possible maturity during his earthly life. I only ever want to give him the opportunity for a change of will, thus for a connection with Me, which the being once wanted to dissolve …. And this shall bring about the earthly fate imposed on it …. Hence it depends more on the transformation of his thinking than on what he …. is determined to do by any predicament …. The will in itself is not always the same as the execution of a thought …. The will is the innermost impulse in man …. and the will can also be directed towards something completely unattainable, something that appears to be unrealizable to it ….. And it is precisely this will which is evaluated, for which the human being must answer …. Actions can certainly result from this will, which the human being then sees as being caused by fate and which let him deny free will …. and yet, for the first time they are based on free will which, however, has already been recognized by Me since eternity and was the reason why I shaped his earthly destiny as it is now fulfilled in him. Admittedly, you can now also counter that your thinking is also subject to a lawful compulsion …. And My word must now suffice you here that neither I as God and father of eternity nor My adversary will forcibly influence your thinking, that you can defend yourselves against every thought which comes from below if you only want thoughts to touch you from above and vice versa …. Your will is and remains decisive, which is not subject to any coercion. And therefore you must first clarify what you understand by ‘will’ in the first place …. As beings with self-consciousness who are capable of thinking, your self must therefore create a mental content for itself, it must move in a sphere which addresses it …. the self must be able to assert itself in the self-created sphere and freely determine itself …. The will is nothing other than a projecting or striving out of the ego into the sphere outside itself …. Thought and will are inseparable concepts, for a being capable of thinking can only prove its thinking through the will. However, thinking and willing are not to be confused with the execution of the will …. because this requires strength, which the being may or may not have …. but the lack of strength does not cancel out the ability to will …. that the human being is forced by fate to act in this or that way is a great error if it is claimed that the human being then therefore has no free will …. For it is not the action that is decisive but the will that accompanies every action …. but I have known about it since eternity, which should now also explain the individual’s fate, which is based on precisely this will of his ….

Amen

Shaping the heart to the temple of God ….

B.D. 5758 from August 31th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

You shall shape your heart into a temple in which I can take abode. And in this temple you should pray, enter your inner being and seek Me there and speak to Me in humility and love …. and you will hear My counter-speech, providing you make My presence within you possible. But if you shape your heart into a temple of God you will cleanse it of all rubbish, you will remove everything from it which does not allow My presence, you will adorn it with virtues of all kinds; you will do everything that pleases Me and draws Me into the temple of your heart, you will become love yourselves in order to be able to receive eternal love within yourselves. And then you will always worship in silence, then you will gladly stay where I am and only ever long for the hour when you can converse with Me, when you offer your services to Me, when you entrust your needs and worries to Me, when you ask Me for help and strength in humble silent prayer …. You will insert this hour more and more frequently into your earthly existence, for then you will dwell in a realm which lies outside the earthly world, you will seek comfort and strength in the place where I dwell, because you have made it into a dwelling place, into a temple for Me through your love …. You do not need to look for Me far away, not in public places, not in dead objects, for there I am not to be found …. but if you go into your own heart, if you go into silence to call upon Me, then I will respond to your call, even if your heart is not yet shaped in such a way that I can dwell in it, but I will come to you and help you to prepare the dwelling place for Me ….

For your desire for Me is already a great aid for the purification of the heart, and then everything that prevents Me from moving in with you will also be removed with My strength …. I can be so close to you that you feel My presence, that you are able to hear Me, and I also want to be so close to you because I love you …. But you must make it possible for Me to be with you …. By shaping yourselves into love you must prepare your heart as a temple into which you can then enter at any time in order to receive words of love from Me which will always make you happy as soon as you desire to hear Me ….

Amen
