The spiritual realm is to be aspired to ….

B.D. 6069 from October 3rd 1954, taken from Book No. 65

The door to the spiritual kingdom is open and everyone can step through to receive what the spiritual kingdom offers him. No one need go empty-handed who wants to receive …. But one thing is required, that the human being voluntarily makes the spiritual kingdom the aim of his striving. For he cannot be forced to do so …. And that is the task of his earthly life, to strive towards the kingdom which is his true home. He came from this kingdom, he once left it voluntarily and must return again voluntarily. After his bodily death he enters the spiritual kingdom again but he can enter a sphere where he is not blissful …. For the spiritual realm he is to strive for is the realm of light …. This shall be his aim which he can easily reach on earth. Earthly life has been given to him for this purpose …. If he then uses his earthly life wrongly, if he strives for other aims on earth, then his earthly life was in vain and his soul can only dwell in the spheres which cannot offer it anything because they are outside the kingdom of light, because they are dark and correspond to the souls’ eternal state. As long as the human being dwells on earth it is extremely easy to take the step into the spiritual kingdom from which the light shines down …. For he need only want, and he will be guided by the inhabitants of the kingdom of light who recognize his will and are of service to him. The human being does not stop thinking and can therefore also let his thoughts wander into his true home, for he is constantly stimulated to do so …. But if he resists such thoughts rising up in him, then this is his free will, which is also respected by the inhabitants of the kingdom of light …. The human being also knows that he cannot prolong his own life, and therefore he should think about what will come afterwards …. Already the serious will to learn about it is a step into the spiritual kingdom which approaches him …. But if his will resists such thoughts then he closes the door to himself and takes the path back down into the kingdom from which he had already emerged …. which is indeed also a spiritual kingdom but not a desirable aim, because the souls in this kingdom are devoid of all strength and every ray of light …. It is a realm of the dead in the true sense of the word, because life can only be where there is light and strength. Light and strength are at your disposal as long as you stay on earth, and you should desire light and strength, then you will truly be abundantly provided with it and the path will become easy for you to ascend into the kingdom of light, into your true home, where you are eagerly awaited by those who walk in the light ….

Amen

"You shall have no foreign gods beside Me …."

B.D. 6070 from October 5th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

To whom you give your love, that is your God …. And now examine yourselves earnestly as to what your heart desires, and if your senses are earthly directed, then mammon is your God, then you serve an idol; then you are enslaved to him who is the lord of darkness …. But you do not know the God of love as long as you serve an idol …. And if your mouth says: “I believe in God”, these are empty words. For if you believed in a God of love with conviction you would also desire Him; you would serve Him alone and detach yourselves from everything that belongs to the world …. you would then have no other God beside Me …. You would give your love to Me alone and now also be allowed to possess My love eternally …. You should not treat the word ‘God’ so lightly, you should be aware of the word’s deepest meaning …. You should consider that God is the highest and most perfect being, to whom all your love should belong …. You should not speak of faith in Me as long as another God is still desirable to you …. the earthly mammon, which you humans love above all else. Then openly profess your faith in him but do not speak My name …. For I, your God and father from eternity, want to possess all your love and not share it with the one you strive for in truth. I am the lord your God …. you shall have no foreign gods beside Me …. This was My commandment which you humans have completely erased from your memory, for you all have foreign gods beside Me; you all attach your heart to earthly goods, you all practice idolatry as long as you cannot detach yourselves from the world for My sake, as long as the desire for Me does not fill your whole heart …. I alone am the good, the true, the lovable, and whoever worships foreign gods besides Me, his faith in Me is not convinced, otherwise he would banish everything from his heart to receive Me alone, to serve Me alone …. and you can only serve one lord …. Where your love is, there is your God …. Consider these words carefully and examine yourselves seriously to whom you want to give your love …. For this one will also take possession of you …. to make you blessed or to destroy you ….

Amen

Sin is an offence against love ….

B.D. 6071 from October 6th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

In a world of lovelessness, sin must also abound, for sin is everything that goes against love. Sin is everything that is against the divine order, which is built on love. Now the less people live in love, the more obviously they step out of the divine order …. they sin and thereby give themselves into the hand of the one who brought sin into the world …. Sin is any wrong that has its origin in unkindness. Every sinner rebels against God, against eternal love, because he consciously does something contrary to God …. and his self-love tempts him to do so. He loves himself more than God …. he certainly also has a love within himself which, however, is wrongly directed, which he took over from God’s adversary who likewise sinned against God because he placed himself above God and therefore fell. A person who lives in love cannot sin …. He can indeed fall, thus succumb in weakness to the adversary’s temptations, but love will always let him rise again, he will want to right his wrongs, he will recognize his wrongdoing and repent of it, and he will find forgiveness because his nature itself rebels against sin, against conscious offences against love …. A sinner is without love, and he will also only recognize and repent of his sins when love is kindled in him …. Only then will he turn away from sin, only then will he enter into the law of eternal order. As long as people are dominated by unkindness, injustice will spread, people will seek their own advantages at the expense of their fellow human beings, the stronger will harass and exploit the weaker, property will not be respected, there will no longer be brotherhood among people, but one will regard the other as an enemy and openly or covertly act against him …. Men are servants of satan, but no longer children of God, which they should be and become …. And therefore sin abounds the nearer it is to the end, because love dwindles among men, and therefore it itself draws near to the day of judgment …. For when everything has gone out of order, an end must also come in accordance with the law …. so that order may be restored according to divine plan …. so that love may reign again on earth and justice ….

Amen

Influence, but no compulsion from the spiritual realm ….

B.D. 6072 from October 7th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

Coercion is never exerted on you from the spiritual kingdom, and thus it always remains your free will how you think and act …. Nevertheless, you are influenced by both good and evil forces, that is, both try to transfer their thoughts and intentions to you, but the human being can defend himself against this by virtue of his free will and therefore he himself is also responsible for his thoughts and actions. Freedom of will is respected, otherwise the good forces would truly have predominance and all people would very soon be mature for the kingdom of light. The soul’s spiritual state on earth already and later in the spiritual kingdom is based on the human being’s free will, it cannot be arbitrarily changed or improved by God’s love or the beings of light, and therefore only the right direction of will can ever result in an improvement for the soul once it has discarded the earthly body and entered the spiritual kingdom. If the soul is unwilling its state of maturity cannot be improved either, even though countless beings of light make an effort to do so. It itself must want …. But through God’s love and grace it is also guided in the spiritual kingdom such that its will stirs and can decide freely again. And there is only one certainty for the right direction of the will …. love …. which is why progress can only be achieved in the kingdom of the beyond if love is practiced, which then also certainly points the will in the right direction. And thus it can certainly be asserted that a loving soul always takes the right path when it has to decide between two paths …. There is no more decisive factor than love, for this is the divine order, and therefore everyone who moves in love moves in divine order. For love is the light which lets you recognize which path is right, so that the will thus goes in the same direction as the light shines. Therefore love will always reach the aim, free will will always make the right decision, because the light of love gives knowledge and strength ….

Amen

Living proclaimers of the gospel ….

B.D. 6073 from October 8th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

A living proclaimer of My word will also be successful in his vineyard work, for he works with the strength of My spirit …. thus he is a servant who is equipped by Me with everything he needs for his work. He can distribute abundantly because he receives abundantly. And he can pass on the gospel, Christ’s teaching of love, as I Myself preached it on earth, for I speak to people through My servant again, and such words are truly powerful and will speak to the hearts of the listeners and not just fall flat on their ears. But only someone who is always so united with Me that he feels the life-giving strength of My word can be a living proclaimer of My word, which now impels him to communicate to his brothers on earth …. Only a person who lives in love can be a living proclaimer of My word, otherwise he is not united with Me and can hear My voice. In order to be a living proclaimer of My word he must be permeated by love for Me and for his neighbour, he must want to be active for Me in his neighbour …. For this will is the entering into My will, the submission to Mine and the basic condition of the union with Me. Then he has given up all resistance, then he has already returned to Me, then he has passed his test of will on earth, and then he belongs to My own who hear Me Myself within themselves and who now have life within themselves. And now they feel inwardly driven to likewise awaken the dead to life and to impart the strength of My word to it, which alone can give them life …. Then their words will no longer touch deaf ears because it is presented alive and because every willing listener feels life and wants to participate in it and often even unwilling listeners feel the strength of My word and give up their resistance. The dead word of a dead preacher cannot awaken to life, for it does not touch the heart but only the ear which lets such words fall flat. The spirit first has to bring the word to life …. And therefore I Myself must be able to work through My spirit in every person who wants to successfully proclaim My gospel …. But this person will also be a true labourer in My vineyard, and his work will always be blessed ….

Amen

Speech of God natural …. truth ….

B.D. 6074 from October 9th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

This is God’s will that the truth be spread, and the truth can only be given to people by Himself, because human will cannot keep it pure for long and therefore the earth is constantly shrouded in darkness because it lacks the light …. the eternal truth …. is missing. God in His greater than great love tries everything to help people who walk towards the abyss in darkness; and His ways are often incomprehensible to people, yet precisely because they are still of dark spirit, otherwise they would take it for granted that God speaks to people, that He conveys His word to them directly. Yet His activity and His eternal plan of salvation are unknown to them and therefore they do not know the actual purpose of their existence on earth. And therefore there is no other option but to impart this knowledge to them …. God Himself has to instruct people about the cause and purpose of their earthly life …. He has to inform people through His word and has done so and will always do so as long as people dwell on earth for the purpose of their ascent development. But people are already so far removed from God that they dismiss this fact into the realm of the impossible …. They don’t know or believe that God Himself addresses people because they themselves are in a spiritual state which excludes a direct address to God …. Therefore they do not want to believe that only the right spiritual condition is necessary in order to be appreciated by this address of God …. They don’t want to believe that God chooses such people to whom He can convey His word directly in order to also communicate to other people through them what they need to know in order to live correctly on earth. It is far more credible that God takes care of His creatures when He knows they are in great spiritual need than that He passes by this need without helping them …. It is far more credible that God speaks to His children as the eternal love than that He remains silent towards them by whom He wants to be acknowledged as a loving father …. God speaks to people and will always and forever speak because He Himself wants the connection between people and Him to be established and because every connection between the child and the father also entails a speech, whereas a God who remains silent will never ever be aspired to as a loving father. How deep is the earth in darkness that people no longer want to recognize a bright light from the heavens as light, but reject it as coming from below …. And how much the darkness is confirmed by this, how much the time of the end is characterized …. Yet God will not withdraw His love and grace for this reason, He will again and again find people who allow Him to express Himself, and through them He will repeatedly make His will known and announce the near end …. And good for those who believe His words …. good for those who believe that God speaks to people because He wants to save them from deepest darkness …. For these will experience His special grace, they will draw comfort and strength from His word when it is necessary to confess Him before the world …. And then it will prove that they are intimately united with Him, that they receive the strength directly from Him, Who is constantly close to them in the word ….

Amen

Connection with God guarantees truth ….

B.D. 6075 from October 10th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

Strive only ever to establish and remain in contact with your Father of eternity …. Then you will also always be spiritually enlightened, unresolved problems will no longer exist for you, for every problem will be resolved by the One Who knows everything and Who also wants to convey this knowledge to you. No limitations are imposed on your knowledge as soon as you take the path to Me and request My clarification …. But I also know which knowledge helps you achieve happiness, and this information is always at your disposal providing your desire for truth is spiritually inclined …. that you expect My explanation …. that you earnestly desire it …. For I give without limitation but only ever to someone who wants it …. And what I bestow upon you will always be appropriate for you and the circle of fellow human beings to whom you shall pass on My gifts …. I speak to you simply and clearly because it is My will that you penetrate the truth yourselves so that you can also wholeheartedly advocate it. And so seemingly insolvable problems for you can be solved by Me in a way that the explanation is easily comprehensible for everyone who, like you, desires clarification …. but which will always remain incomprehensible for people who only deal with them intellectually. I speak to the human being’s heart and the heart understands …. But the heart of someone who prefers to be addressed intellectually is not receptive to Me as yet, and he will hardly become enlightened. Therefore, come to the Father like children so that he will educate you in line with your receptivity …. And the subsequently kindled light in you will be suitable to give you complete understanding, for you are being instructed by My spirit and this is truly powerful. You humans have invaluable spiritual knowledge at your disposal, yet only a few make use of it. People try to intellectually penetrate information which can only be conveyed to them by My spirit, because they either don’t know the simple path or won’t take it if it is shown to them …. the connection with Me through love or prayer …. Only the connection with Me is the source of truthful knowledge, and if this is not established, the received knowledge …. even if it corresponds to truth …. will remain incomprehensible or lifeless knowledge to people which does not contribute towards the soul’s maturity. And the connection will only be established when the human being yearns for Me Myself …. Then he will exclude all other sources …. then he will no longer seek an explanation from other people, then he will turn to Me directly and I will be able to influence him through My spirit so that he will recognise what is truth from God and what is rationally gained knowledge …. Then the living water he draws from the source will refresh and revive him, he will be able to receive, without limitation, all he needs for eternal life from the font of life ….

Amen

Blessing of the Illness …. cross bearer for the soul ….

B.D. 6076 from October 12th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

This is what My word teaches you, that you should follow Me …. Avoiding the path of following Jesus will not lead to perfection, for then you will take a path which does not correspond to My will and therefore cannot lead to the aim either …. To follow Jesus means to take up the cross imposed on you in the same love, with the same gentleness and patience. He truly walked the path of the cross, and no human being took away the suffering He had to bear for His fellow human beings. But through these sufferings He took the great burden of debt from people and atoned for it …. He suffered for others …. And so you humans should also bear the cross for your soul …. which would have to suffer immeasurably in the kingdom of the beyond if you had not proven yourselves to be cross-bearers on earth by following Jesus …. The human being should create a spiritual garment for his soul which is suitable for receiving light one day …. And thus the soul’s coverings, which still signify impenetrable resistance to the rays of light, must be melted away, as it were. For the human being himself should also do something about it and not rely solely on the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ as long as he is given the opportunity on earth to improve his state of soul with the help of divine grace …. At the same time you should dissolve the covering itself, not only free the soul from it …. you should again bear the guilt of the unredeemed spiritual that imprisons your soul …. you should likewise help this spiritual to develop further upwards …. you should suffer patiently for the spiritual being which is still far below you, which chose you to come out of its bondage. For all physical ailments and afflictions are manifestations of this wretched spiritual substance which you can and should help again by taking the path of following Jesus, by patiently taking up the cross and likewise compensating for a debt for this spiritual substance which is far below you, so that its path of ascent will become easier, so that it will already be free of a debt before the ascent development of this spiritual substance also begins …. Jesus has called you to follow Him …. But He has also redeemed you from sin and its consequences …. How do you want to find harmony between the two? He wants to free you from your guilt, but He still demands that you carry the cross …. Just as His love was for you, that is, for His fellow human beings, your love should also be for the one who needs your help, so that he will also reach the state where redemption through Jesus Christ can be accomplished in him …. You, too, should contribute to the redemption of the unfree, and it is your responsibility to take care of the spiritual substance which surrounds your soul as a cover, which has to be dissolved in order to grant entrance to the rays of light which signify life for the soul. The dissolution of these coverings is a work of mercy in which you must participate yourselves, which is why you were given Jesus’ command: ‘Take up your cross and follow Me ….”

Amen

Sun of the spirit ….

B.D. 6077 from October 13th 1954, taken from Book No. 65

The sun of the spirit shall rise for you, and its rays shall illuminate you and show you the right path to take on earth …. The night is no man’s friend …. As long as you walk in the night you are in danger of falling into the abyss or being exposed to other ruin. Only when the morning sun chases away the night with its rays will you see the path clearly before you, and then you will also see all dangers you have to avoid in order to safely reach the aim. This always concerns your spiritual life, the state of your souls, which are in the night as long as the spiritual sun cannot yet shine down on them …. as they themselves resist the rays because they have not yet felt the benefit of light. Only the effect of the rays allows the soul to awaken from a frozen state, only the sun gives it life …. The spiritual rays give it strength …. and these rays come from the spiritual kingdom, they have their origin in the eternal sun, which radiates all light and life out into infinity. Standing in the sphere of this divine sun of grace is a guarantee for eternal life, because in its light there is no solidification, no death, because its strength is so strong that it drives everything to activity, to life …. Hence the light, the ray which spreads brightness in the human being’s heart, comes from the spiritual kingdom but never from the earthly realm where profound darkness prevails and no light can be generated. And whatever spiritual gifts you humans receive …. it must originate in the kingdom of light if it is to bring you light, if it is to have an effect on you as a shining ray of the spiritual sun …. It must give illumination of the spirit and awakening life to those who place themselves in its circle of light …. You people who walk in darkness, seek to come into its light, let yourselves be irradiated by it …. seek to escape the night, for you will feel a thousand times better in the warm ray of divine love, which wants to make you happy in infinite abundance and give you what you lack: light and strength, without which eternal life is impossible ….

Amen
