God's address ….
B.D. 6285 from June 15th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Blessed are the people who are allowed to hear My word, who allow themselves to be addressed by Me, who desire My address and therefore can be considered by Me as it is beneficial for their souls …. Blessed are those who recognize the loving father in Me, Who speaks words of love and wisdom to them …. Blessed who directly receive strength from Me because I have blessed My word with My strength …. My love applies to all of you who still walk on earth, and therefore I also want to give you all the opportunity to be able to listen to My address. And therefore I send My word down to earth in such a way that it is not only intended for the recipient alone but that his fellow human beings can also hear it through him …. that he can pass it on in the form in which it was sent to him …. And thus all can come into possession of My word, which is conveyed purely and unadulterated to those who open their hearts to the address from above …. All people can refresh themselves at the spring from which the living water flows …. My word, which is life-awakening, because eternal life Itself has poured it out …. Anyone who drinks from the spring of life, who thus receives My word into his heart, who does not just let it rush past his ears but wants to be inwardly touched by it, can never fall prey to death. For My word is nourishment for the soul, it is food and drink which are necessary for the life of the soul …. And this word comes to you humans in all purity and seeks access to your hearts …. I Myself, Who am the word from eternity, stand at the door of your heart and knock so that you may grant Me entrance …. And then I Myself can feed and water you, I can take supper with you, you can unite with Me and remain united until all eternity. For if you hear My word I Myself must also be present to you, and My presence must already make you blissfully happy on earth, because then you will constantly be able to hear My word and you will always have the evidence that I Myself am with you …. I want to address all of you and inform you of My love for you, because I want to regain you who were lost to Me for an infinitely long time. And therefore My word from above will sound again and again, and again and again I will choose the right vessels for Myself into which I can let My flow of strength of love flow …. And again and again I will find access into open human hearts which happily accept what I offer them, who feel hunger and thirst and shall be refreshed with the right food and the right drink …. Again and again My strength will flow to those who intimately unite with Me in order to receive strength …. For My love for you humans is unchanging and will always supply you with what you need in order to become blissfully happy ….
Amen

Fight against longings and passions ….
B.D. 6286 from June 16th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Deaden your every longing and you will mature in the shortest possible time …. If you have the will to become perfect everything that is still pulling you down into the abyss has to be overcome …. and this concerns all longings and passions which still adhere to you from the time of your preliminary development …. and which still cause you so much trouble because My adversary influences you through these instincts and longings and thereby intends to prevent your return to Me …. But these instincts and longings are an obstacle for your union with Me, because they are ungodly attributes which a perfect being cannot have …. and which therefore first have to be overcome before the union with Me can take place.
The human being has to fight against every craving for material things, for this always involves a greed to own something which belongs to My adversary’s realm, which therefore merely serves to satisfy the senses …. regardless of what it is …. As soon as a person’s physical senses delight in it they are longings which find earthly fulfilment …. This includes everything that provides the person with a sense of physical well-being, if it is actively pursued by the person himself and therefore lacks the foundation for spiritual endeavour: the realisation that all earthly things are transient.
I will also endow people with earthly possessions and their earthly life, too, will be blessed and offer them everything, and that in abundance, as soon as I recognise their spiritual aspiration, as soon as their love applies to Me and I Am their first goal …. Then My love will give to them abundantly, and even their earthly life will be blessed and offer them everything because it will no longer harm them, since it will not captivate their senses. However, as soon as a human being still has a powerful desire for earthly pleasures, possessions and stimulation he has to fight it, for these longings are My adversary’s weapon which frequently help him to be victorious. Nevertheless, the human being will not become unfit for life on this earth, his strength will grow but he will utilise it differently …. He will want to work spiritually and only find satisfaction therein …. yet instantly slow down if he sets his sights on the world again and sees something that he desires to own ….
This is why ‘the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force ….’ Earth is the kingdom of the fallen spirits, it is My adversary’s realm …. Anyone who seriously thinks about this will also know that everything desirable in the material world always requires the payment of tribute to him and that everyone who pays this tribute also belongs to him …. He will also know that there cannot be any compromises between Myself and him, that I want you completely and that a human being who still has his eye on My adversary’s kingdom will hardly reach Me ….
You should not allow yourselves to be captivated by the world, you have to exercise self-control with the things that still appear desirable to you, and you then seriously have to suppress your cravings for them, you ought not to give into them, but you may enjoy without reservations what I bestow upon you Myself …. You may be pleased with what you receive without having greedily aspired for it …. what My love gives to you because you belong to Me, because you have recognised the purpose of earthly life and are now willing to be of service to Me ….
But be content with it and stifle every arising craving and always recognise in it a trap set by My adversary to win you back for himself …. Without an inner struggle you will not be victorious over him, but if your endeavour applies to Me then you need not fight any longer, then the world will no longer attract you, then your yearning will aim towards heaven …. then matter will have lost its power over you, then you will learn to despise it …. it will have to be of service to you because you will have become its master ….
Amen

Scrutiny of spiritual knowledge advisable ….
B.D. 6287 from June 18th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You are being educated by the spirit within you and this cannot convey anything but the purest truth to you …. If you therefore encounter contradictions brought to you from external sources, then you must first investigate whether this spiritual knowledge was produced by a person’s own intellectual activity or by the working of the spirit …. And you will always come to the conclusion that My spirit has not been at work where a contradiction is present. For the spirit from Me does not err, the spirit from Me always imparts the same to a person: the pure truth …. Admittedly, it is difficult for you humans to conduct an examination like this as long as you are still spiritually unawakened, but precisely because of this you should not accept everything, especially if teachings are imparted to you which do not include My Gospel, which can be found in the Scriptures …. if it concerns teachings which are in addition to My Gospel, the pure teaching of love I proclaimed on earth. In that case you must always exercise greatest caution, for that knowledge which is additionally conveyed to a spiritually awakened person as profound spiritual wisdom …. the knowledge which reveals My eternal plan of Salvation to you humans, can only be conveyed to you through My spirit; however, it will be undermined by My adversary through wrong doctrines, erroneous portrayals or entirely new teachings, which could already be recognised to be incorrect by the fact that such knowledge does not promote maturity of soul …. For this is precisely how he works, he wants to do the same as I do …. he presents error to people in the same way as I distribute truth …. His activity consists of educating servants who pretend to do the same: to address people on divine instruction …. It is not easy for you humans to recognise what is right and what is wrong as long as your desire for unusual supernatural knowledge predominates, as long as you don’t appeal to Me in a childlike, humble manner for the pure truth, as long as you seek out ‘people’ in order to be taught by them without having commended yourselves to Me first, so that I will guide you right and only let you take the path of truth. You must do everything …. absolutely everything …. with Me, then you will not go astray, you will not make wrong judgments, you will learn to distinguish error from truth …. You can truly believe that the serious will for truth is your most certain protection, then the feeling of rejection will predominate in you towards all misguided teachings, and this feeling is My working in you because you request the truth …. Intellectual products are easy to refute if they contradict the truth …. But it requires an awakened spirit in order to judge planned messages from above, for only the spiritually awakened human being can see through the machinations of the adversary of truth, the prince of darkness …. He recognises the contradiction and can also substantiate it, but he will only ever find credence with those who have a strong desire for truth, because they already experience the same feeling, which I will grant anyone who is serious about the truth …. who has already accepted Me in his heart through kind-hearted activity. Anyone who is united with Me through loving actions or heartfelt prayer will instinctively reject anything which contradicts the pure truth, because the Eternal Truth protects him from being led astray and is indeed able to do so on account of the sincere union and the desire for truth …. Those of you who are devoted to Me and strive to fulfil My will should therefore not be afraid of being led astray …. I will guide your thinking in the right direction and you will always be able to differentiate between truth and error ….
Amen

"As you measure out, so shall it be measured to you …."
B.D. 6288 from June 19th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You are always urged by Me to be eagerly active in love, and if you follow My instructions you can also expect constant help, for I distribute what you give to your neighbour. Hence you can also live a completely carefree life on earth, your earthly needs will also be covered if only you distribute again what you receive from Me spiritually and earthly …. People who ask or are in need will always be led into your path, people who are in earthly or spiritual need, and you should give them what you receive from Me …. earthly help if they ask you for it, or spiritual gifts which they always need and which are far more important than earthly provision, because the latter comes from Me if only the human being makes an effort to utilize the spiritual gifts correctly …. if he is willing to provide for his soul first. Then the body will also be taken care of by Me, for I have given you this promise that you should first seek the kingdom of God, everything else will be given to you in addition. And from this you, My servants on earth, will be able to gather that your concern should primarily be for your fellow human beings’ spiritual well-being, for spiritual hardship is not so obviously noticeable that people seriously try to remedy it, whereas earthly hardship is felt by the body and therefore people’s concern only ever applies to earthly provision …. There too you should help as far as it is in your power, but since you possess spiritual wealth in abundance you should distribute it to all who are in need and try to make people understand that earthly hardship is only a consequence of spiritual hardship …. that they are spiritually missing something and therefore have to suffer or struggle earthly …. You should inform them that their activity of love leaves much to be desired, otherwise they would be considered by Me according to My promise: As you measure out, so shall it be measured out to you …. that they therefore have to live in want because they also let their fellow human beings live in want because they do not give them what they can give: love …. which every human being needs so much. For everyone, no matter how poor he may be in earthly goods, can be kind to his fellow human beings; no one is so poor that he has nothing to give away …. And even the poorest of the poor can testify to his helpful will, and help for himself will certainly not fail to materialize. The commandment of love is not heeded enough, and therefore earthly hardship also increases …. And if help is to be given to people it first has to happen in a spiritual way, so that they learn what the cause of their adversity is …. that people first have to make an effort to meet each other in love, that they should always pay more attention to their fellow human beings than to their own adversity, because they themselves receive help to the same extent as they want to help. And therefore they must also be offered spiritual gifts, My word must be held up to them, which I taught when I Myself lived on earth …. again and again they must be assured that they can abide by My word, that My word is truth and that I stand by My promises …. that everyone just has to put it to the test himself by doing what I demand in order to then also safely be allowed to experience the fulfilment of My promise ….
Amen

Controller of fate …. God of love ….
B.D. 6289 from June 20th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You should know that I want to win you for Myself and therefore your whole earthly life will unfold such that I will achieve My goal as long as you don’t oppose Me …. Although it is always up to you whether you utilize your earthly life, whether you will allow your souls to be affected by everything that happens to you in this earthly life, whether everything will contribute that you will take the path to Me …. for you are also able to resist and rebel against your fate which I only imposed on you in order to achieve your beatitude …. You can defy and resent the Controller of your destiny, but then you will never take the path to Him and submit yourselves voluntarily to Him …. Then you will turn again to the one from whom I want to liberate you.
You first must learn to believe in a God of love …. Then you will also understand His reign and activity, you will understand that He only ever intends to make you happy …. The knowledge to be guided by a God of love will enable you to bear every burden he inflicts upon you, since you then will also trust this God of love that He only means well with you. And you can easily believe that I Am a God of love by just observing the creation surrounding you …. by just contemplating the fact that everything was only created for you humans after all, to enable you to live and enjoy the natural creations …. The fact that you
humans often experience difficult conditions should not make you doubt the love and wisdom of a Creator but only ever question why you get into such situations ….
Everything in nature is so wisely arranged that one thing serves the other for its development, that everything arises and exists according to wise law as long as the natural order is not disturbed through human interference. Hence you also have to come to the conclusion that you yourselves are not living in the God-intended order …. that you yourselves are the cause of suffering and adversities which affect you …. Consequently, you also have to trustingly appeal to a God of love, Who has created everything surrounding you as well as you yourselves, to help you restore order again ….
You humans, who feel unable to do that, merely lack humility …. You are too arrogant to subordinate yourselves to a strong Power, you revolt against It and therefore have to come into situations where you learn to recognise your own weakness …. Only the humble person takes the path to Me, because he feels too weak and incapable to improve his situation by himself …. Faith in a God of love and wisdom also necessitates humility …. The arrogant person cannot believe because he does not want to believe, because he does not want to acknowledge a Power above himself to Which he should submit himself ….
Earthly life with all its fateful experiences could indeed provide him with the evidence that he is helpless against the will of a stronger Power, and every human being could derive from it the benefit for his soul …. Yet his will remains free …. and his resistance to Me will only let him sink ever lower, whereas subordination will let him rise higher …. and for this purpose earthly life was given to you …. I want to win you for Myself in order to make you blissfully happy …. For far away from Me you will remain in misery, darkness and pain ….
Amen

Strokes of fate …. Remedies ….
B.D. 6290 from June 21st 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The wounds I have to inflict on you if I don’t want you to fall into everlasting death are truly not an expression of wrath, of lack of love, nor are they indications of just punishments for your transgressions …. They are merely remedies to remove ailments which you have caused yourselves and which are needed in order to restore the health of your soul …. It was your own fault that you left the eternal order or your fate would be one of pure happiness and beatitude. Believe Me, I would much rather grant you blissful happiness but you yourselves make it impossible for Me as soon as you leave My order …. however, I will use everything to lead you back into divine order again so that I can make you abundantly happy once more. The more hardship and sorrow, misery and illness are evident on earth the greater are the offences against My order, and by looking at this adversity you humans can see how low you have fallen, for I would truly rather make humanity happy than let unfounded tribulations befall them in order to restore My eternal order again …. And although the individual person believes himself to be a lesser sinner than the misfortune he has encountered …. you humans don’t know the correlations or the extent of a misfortune’s effect …. nor do you know who will be helped to mature in turn as a result of the individual person’s fate …. You also don’t know what you have voluntarily offered to endure before your incarnation as a human being …. I, however, know everything, and I truly will not impose upon you a greater burden than you are able to bear ….
Furthermore, I offer Myself as a cross bearer if your cross seems too heavy for you …. Unfortunately you don’t very often take advantage of My help, and thus you complain about your burden and frequently protest its weight …. You were motivated by love to offer yourselves to bear a burden of the cross …. But in earthly life you don’t know why you, who believe to belong to Me due to your will, have to suffer …. Yet I want you to travel your path silently and without complaining even without knowing the cause, I want you to humbly accept your cross, I want that you always submit to My will in the recognition that the One to Whom you submit yourselves is a God of love and that everything you receive from Him will be a blessing for you ….
Therefore, don’t object to your destiny whatever comes your way …. don’t complain and grumble if you want to belong to Me but always rest assured that it is only for your benefit …. that it always signifies help and a restoration of My eternal order …. rest assured that one day you will realise it and be grateful to Me that I allowed you to take this arduous earthly path with its misfortunes but also with My love, which is the reason for everything that affects you, because it only ever wants you to become blessed ….
Amen

Time of end ….
B.D. 6291 from June 22nd 1955, taken from Book No. 68
In My eternal plan of salvation the time is fixed when the work of transformation on this earth takes place, for I have known since eternity when My will has to intervene in order to prevent the spiritual substance from completely sinking into the abyss, in order to reintegrate it into the process of development so that it can strive upwards again. And the periods of time are always measured such that they are certainly sufficient for the complete redemption of the spiritual substance but that they must not be too long for the failing substance either, because it will always sink deeper and then the return to Me will become increasingly more difficult and agonizing, because the means for the redemption of this spiritual substance correspond to the distance from Me …. During the period of redemption a great deal of spiritual substance is released, but the spiritual substance which has passed through creation is often still so opposed to Me that it needs a longer time until it can embody itself as a human being, which is why at the end of such a redemption period humanity usually still carries much of this resistance within itself and therefore precisely these people have no impetus to ascend but increasingly chain themselves to matter again, thus the inclination towards matter also pulls the soul down. And when people of such an attitude predominate, then the time has also come when a complete transformation of the earth is necessary in order to favour the process of development again …. Then the separation of spirits has become necessary …. And therefore I have known since eternity …. I will never prematurely end a redemption period in order to save what is still possible before the new banishment, because I alone know what such a new banishment in solid matter means for the spiritual being …. I will never let a being fall prey to this fate which still offers the slightest prospect of a change of will, of a rescue from this fate. But I will also not miss a day longer in order not to increase the agony of these newly banished beings, which, however, would necessitate an ever deeper fall. I know when the time is fulfilled which was granted to the spiritual beings to become free, and My eternal plan is also based on this. And therefore I also have to point out to you humans the events which lie ahead of you, because even these indications can still shake people up and the short time until the end can still bring them salvation. But the day of the end will not be postponed by this. And even if you humans are never allowed to know the exact time for the sake of your freedom of faith, I nevertheless tell you that you are very close to it, that you don’t have much time left, that your life on this earth will end very soon …. I tell you very urgently and advise you to believe Me and to adjust your life as you would do if you knew for certain the day and the hour …. Let yourselves be earnestly warned and admonished …. Turn away from the world, leave everything that is perishable and remember your soul, which is imperishable, and prepare a blessed fate for it by only striving for that which will bring you salvation …. Establish contact with your God and creator of eternity, see in Me your father Who longs for His children, and entrust yourselves to Me that I will guide and direct you in the last days of your earthly life …. Use the last short time you have left until the end …. so that you belong to the few who will still be saved from ruin …. so that you may live and not perish to eternal death ….
Amen

God's presence and expression ….
B.D. 6292 from June 23rd 1955, taken from Book No. 68
I am always with you when you call Me in your thoughts, when you engage in spiritual conversations, when you speak for Me and My kingdom …. whenever you want Me to be in your midst …. For this I have promised you. And thus you need not look for Me in the distance; you can always imagine that I am present to you as soon as you are gathered in a small circle and do not hold worldly but spiritual conversations …. And thus you can also feel addressed by Me, and the transmission of My word need not be surprising to you, for how should I prove My presence to you other than by addressing you Myself? This is why everyone who is willing to be addressed by Me will be able to hear Me, and all his thoughts will then be guided by Me, because this will to hear Me also certainly guarantees him My address or right thinking. You know that I am your father and that you are My children. Therefore it is also the most natural thing that the father speaks to His child and that the child will always hear His voice if it pays attention …. if it does not close its ear or listen to loud sounds which sound to it from the world. Anyone who is willing to hear Me will also hear Me, and every thought turned towards Me will now also secure his own thinking according to My will. And thus it will also be protected from error if it desires the pure truth, if questions or unsolved problems occupy it …. But it must never expect a certain answer to such questions …. that is, such an answer it would most like to hear and which need not correspond to the truth. Anyone who desires to be instructed in the pure truth in order to pass it on to his fellow human beings should completely free himself from spiritual knowledge which has been imparted to him from outside …. He should empty his heart and open it for My flow of love, and I will fill it according to his desire …. but also according to his task if the human being wants to serve Me. And thus you humans have to make a distinction as to whether you only want to mentally communicate with Me, whether you desire My words to give you comfort and strength so that you can fulfil your earthly task …. or whether you offer yourselves to Me as mediators so that I can speak through you to all people …. In either case I am present to you Myself, in each case you hear My voice as soon as you desire it and make it possible for Me through your desire and your inward listening …. But whoever has a mission from Me I must also consider according to his mission …. for the fulfilment of the mission requires a certain knowledge which enables a teaching activity …. And this knowledge can only be received by a person who has attained a certain degree of maturity and fulfils certain prerequisites which enable him to convey My word …. You humans may all come to Me if you want to hear Me Myself …. You can all believe that I am with you and speak to you wherever My name is spoken in devotion and your heart opens so that I can enter …. but whom I have urged to work for My vineyard, whom I have entrusted with the teaching ministry, to him also goes what he needs for his work …. And you should listen to these in the firm belief that I Myself speak through them, because it is necessary that you humans are taught so that you learn to recognize and love Me and now also fulfil My commandments and thereby become blessed ….
Amen

God's loving address ….
B.D. 6293 from June 24th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Words of love I want to give to every child who desires to be addressed by Me …. For I embrace all My children with tremendous love and therefore cannot speak to them other than full of love …. And even if I have to admonish and warn them, then it is still My love which wants to protect them from making themselves unhappy …. And very often people are in this danger, even if they seriously strive towards Me, because they are constantly besieged by My adversary and he tries everything to bring them down. For you humans are still completely immersed in the world …. and the world is a danger for every serious striver …. Not only that it can affect the human being’s senses with its charms and its dazzling work, but also the demands made on you by the world often cause derailment, unkindness, restlessness or even anger, because My adversary will always affect the people in bondage to him such that they will make the children striving towards Me the target of their attacks …. For My adversary works with much cunning and trickery …. especially when he has little success to show, when he cannot oust Me from My child’s heart …. So then My words, despite all love, are warning and admonishing in order not to let My child fall into the hands of the one who wants to possess it …. Yet a brief thought to Me is enough to chase him away, and you can always send this thought up to Me and a delicious peace will surround you, which I Myself will lower into your heart if you faithfully adhere to Me and are not submissive to the adversary. And I constantly watch over those who want to belong to Me, I just have to allow their will freedom and instil vigilance in your hearts, for every child means too much to Me to want to lose it to My adversary. But you always have an extremely effective means to drive away his desire for you and him: The smallest act of love already makes him unable to fight, with the smallest act of love you already establish the connection with Me, and where I am, he must flee …. where I am, you no longer have to fear him …. Therefore, when the world is pressing upon you, when situations arise where you are put into unrest or displeasure …. speak a good word, let a good thought arise in you or do a good work …. And of your own accord all afflictions will subside, you will emerge victorious in every battle of words, in every situation where you are confronted with hostility …. For then you will direct your will rightly in all freedom, and then you can never again be defeated …. But this will always cost you an inner struggle …. If you pass this battle, if you emerge victorious from this battle against yourselves, then you will also have defeated the one who is My and your opponent …. And I bless you for it and surround you with constantly increasing love, and what first appears to be a battle to you will now be easily mastered by you, and the world will also no longer have an effect on you because you prove to Me through your will that you want to belong to Me completely. And again and again I tell you: You can know that you are loved by Me always and forever, especially if you want to take the path upwards as a human being on this earth …. Then I pursue you, My children, with My fatherly love, and on every path you take I walk beside you …. and over thorns and cliffs I lead you through suffering and hardship towards the right aim …. I will guide you back to your father’s house, where My love has glories in store for you which you will never be able to imagine …. which the father has prepared for the children who love Him ….
Amen

Effective means of grace ….
B.D. 6294 from June 25th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
My gifts of grace are at your disposal without limitation because My love for you is unlimited and does everything to help you attain beatitude. And thus the transmission of My word is also an unusual gift of grace which can help you to completely release yourselves from the form, to completely spiritualize yourselves during your earthly life …. For My word is of unusual strength because it is a direct emanation of Myself. The souls in the beyond obviously feel this effect of strength because, if they are of good will, they abruptly come to realization and become light where previously it was dark …. The effect of strength cannot be so obviously demonstrated to people on earth, for it would force them to accept that which has to be received by them into their heart in fullest freedom of will in order to be success-bringing for the souls. But then the great effect will also be unmistakable, and the human being will completely change himself and his nature, he will shape himself into love and thus become free from all bondage, so that at the end of his earthly life he will now be able to enter the spiritual kingdom as completely spiritualized, as completely redeemed. Whether on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond …. I always have to address My living creations if I want to be recognized by them as father, to Whom they shall strive as children in ardent love …. An aim must be held out to them, a perfect being, Which they want to reach because they feel that this being loves them …. And this is only possible because I speak to My living creations so that they can also believe in this being Which reveals Itself to them …. I must make Myself known to all My living creations as a being full of love, wisdom and power …. And therefore they must be able to hear Me …. but in order to hear Me they must also open themselves, that is, they must open themselves to My address from above. But then the strength will also flow to them from above, and then they must absolutely also be able to do everything I demand of them and proclaim to them through My word …. You humans are powerless creatures because you have become imperfect due to your former apostasy from Me …. Your strength would never suffice to reach the former perfection again …. Therefore I must first supply you with strength, which now happens through the supply of My word, which I have blessed with My strength …. And ever new strength now flows to you the more often you let Me speak to you, the more open your heart is to receive My word, the more you want Me to speak to you and in your desire for My word now also make use of the unusual gift of grace …. by obeying what I tell you to do and thus step by step ascend with the success of complete detachment from the world, which kept you bound for eternities …. If I demand that you deify yourselves during your earthly life, then I must also give you, as weak beings, the means to be able to fulfil My desire …. And these means are gifts of grace, a gift from Me which gives you strength to ascend upwards …. And the most effective means of grace is My word, which again and again comes to you from above, but which you also possess in the scriptures which testify of Me …. if only you willingly open your heart so that I can speak to you …. Then you will also do everything with strength to fulfil My will, you will transform yourselves into love and be able to enter the kingdom of light as free beings ….
Amen

Development of earth and human being ….
B.D. 6295 from June 26th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You can come to Me with complete truth and ask My any question that moves you, for I will always answer it such that it will help you. However, you can only grasp a limited amount of knowledge …. yet what I impart to you is sufficient in order to grant you an insight into My eternal plan of Salvation …. it is also sufficient for you in order to explain it to and teach other people …. and in order to reveal to you My love, wisdom and omnipotence. And I will add to this knowledge the more you progress yourselves, the more receptive you become to My light and strength …. for it is My aim that you shall become as perfect as you were in the very beginning, and this also involves profound realisation …. the comprehensive knowledge about My reign and activity, about My Nature and your goal ….
It took an infinitely long time for you humans to advance from the abyss to the point which permits human existence …. This infinitely long time until the development up to the human being had occurred was necessary because everything can only develop in lawful order …. no phases of development can be left out at will, hence these phases of development had to take place in accordance with My eternal plan of Salvation and thus appropriate creations were also required for this development …. which as ‘pre-historic’ has become a concept to you. Although the human need for research certainly attempts to calculate the duration of this pre-historic time yet only with very limited success, for the slow advancement of the spiritual substances …. as well as the emergence of creation …. which you are now able to behold as human beings, has taken eternities; they were infinitely long periods of time for which the word ‘eternities’ is certainly the right word …. The concept of time, however, only began when the living creation ‘Man’ was called into being by Me, for prior to that the living beings were not rational enough as to enable them to think and reason independently, as to enable them to live consciously and to grasp the concepts of ‘past – present and future’.
Only the being endowed with common sense and free will can be called ‘a human being’, which was sufficiently capable of thinking in order to acquire a certain amount of realisation and live accordingly …. Hence from this time onwards one can speak of the conscious development towards ascent, where the once fallen spirits were given the opportunity to return to Me for good …. The creation of the first human being was the beginning of a period of Salvation where free will became the crucial factor and not My will, as was the case in pre-historic times, where everything took place under the law of compulsion which irrevocably had to result in higher development …. And now you wonder how long the ‘human being’ has populated the earth already …. whereby you only ever mean the rational human being who is capable of making his own free decisions and as whose descendants you regard yourselves ….
The first human being capable of accepting responsibility for his actions and thoughts was Adam …. even though human-like beings already existed before Adam in all parts of the world who instinctively carried out much of which is assumed was human thinking but who nevertheless were impelled by spiritual intelligences, who thus served ascending spiritual substances as a shell and in the law of compulsion carried out what was needed for the development of the creation of Earth …. to become a dwelling place for future human beings. They were human species whose instincts and compulsive impulses broke through incredibly strongly but who nevertheless could not be held responsible because they, too, contributed towards the fact that spiritual substances were constantly released and able to embody themselves anew …. because everything just served to prepare an area for the human being which was suitable to pass their last test of will …. These human-like beings were therefore physically already very akin to the form I had prepared for the human being Adam when the time for the fallen original spirits had come to have their free will returned in order to then be able to liberate themselves from the form altogether. Time and again pre-historic creations released spiritual substances, and the development of what to a certain extent had advanced the whole emergence of earth in its bound state continued to progress …. and thus the time eventually came for this spiritual substance to make a free decision ….
And this was the beginning of the epoch of Salvation which is of significance for you because it enabled the being to use its free will and intellect and thus live a conscious life …. However, the beginning of this epoch is so infinitely far in the past that you humans are unable to make any relevant calculations …. yet due to My will the most important periods and their events remain known to you, and although you also divide them into well ordered time-spans …. it is entirely irrelevant for your own development. Yet the endless number of fallen spirits necessitates an infinitely long time of higher development …. therefore you are no longer capable of estimating the duration of the pre-historic time …. just as the embodiment as a human being will have to take place on such a large scale that it will take eternities …. It will not be possible for you humans to determine the beginning of this epoch scientifically, yet you will always believe otherwise, because it is in the human being’s nature while he is still imperfect that he mentally limits everything that is in the past …. but never wants to acknowledge that there is a limit for the time ahead of him …. consequently he does not reject a beginning …. but an end seems impossible to him. The former, however, is irrelevant whereas the latter is so extremely important that the human being should direct his whole attention only to what lies ahead of him …. that one period of Salvation will come to an end, as did so many before …. but that My eternal plan of Salvation will remain …. that there will never be an end as far as the act of Salvation is concerned …. that an endless number of fallen spirits also require an infinitely long time for their return and that time and again I will give these spirits the opportunity to ascend from the deepest abyss to the light …. to Me, from Whom they once came ….
Amen

Sluggish thinking ….
B.D. 6296 from June 27th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The more captivated a person is by the world the more indifferent he is to the truth, the less he desires it, and he thoughtlessly either accepts …. or rejects everything that is presented to him as truth …. For his heart has no desire to know the truth. And once again you can therefore recognise that the world is a great danger for you soul, because without truth you do not live expediently, you have no idea about the meaning and purpose of your earthly life because you don’t receive the right explanation, consequently you don’t live consciously either but always chase after earthly possessions although you know that they are transient, that you cannot take anything along with you once your earthly life is over …. But neither do you believe in a continuation of life after death …. and again because you don’t care, because you don’t want to know anything about it and on account of this very indifference you can never reach the inner conviction that your life is not over after the death of your body …. God’s servants on earth would find far more acceptance if the desire for truth were present in fellow human beings, yet everything else is more interesting to them than that which is most important: to gain the right knowledge and to then live their earthly lives accordingly. This is why everything which increases people’s indifference has to be condemned …. it has to be condemned when they are taught that they need not spend any thought on what they are demanded to believe …. that they may only accept what they are offered by a specific side, and that they are relieved from every responsibility as long as they trust and subordinate themselves to God’s alleged representatives. All such teachings contribute towards tempting the human being into sluggish thinking; they contribute towards allowing other people to do the thinking for him and not to feel responsible themselves ….And if the thinking of such a person is not changed through acts of love he will remain ignorant and caught up in error for the rest of his life …. However, only truth leads to God …. Hence, he will continue to be very far removed from God when he departs from earth. If people had a greater desire for truth, the spiritual darkness among them would truly not be so immense, for their thinking would be guided into the right direction because of a desire for truth …. And a correctly thinking person will then also live according to God’s will and thereby come ever closer to Him …. But people only want to increase their knowledge regarding earthly things, because spiritual knowledge does not result in earthly success, but through earthly knowledge they can improve their physical well-being and therefore remain unreceptive to anything else, even if it is offered to them as a special gift of grace …. And therefore, Earth will remain shrouded in darkness, for light only establishes itself where it is desired but never where its illumination is rejected ….
Amen

Divine guidance ….
B.D. 6297 from June 28th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You are brought together according to My will …. as is successful for your spiritual activity and always such that you can serve Me to the best of your ability, that you can guide My word everywhere, which I send to you from above …. that you can proclaim the gospel wherever it is only willingly listened to. Nothing happens arbitrarily and nothing comes to you by chance. Everything is fixed in My plan from eternity, it can only be utilized differently …. whatever is left to your free will. Therefore you can regard everything that happens in your spiritual activity as My guidance, you can regard all people as having been brought to you by Me with whom you can talk about ‘My word’ in spiritual conversations …. You can regard every change in your own situation as beneficial for your vineyard work, and every day will be directed by Me such that you will be able to progress if you have the serious will to do so …. And you should keep this in mind especially in the coming time, that I direct your destiny, that everything only ever comes as it has to come so that you can be active in a redeeming sense …. for often you will not understand that I lead you along paths which hardly seem feasible to you …. Yet the aim is glorious and can only be reached through such paths. And as soon as you believe that I Myself always walk beside you, as soon as you start and end every day with Me, blessings will lie on everything you undertake, even if no earthly advantage arises from it …. Then you must always know that I bring everything about as it comes and that it has its wise reason, for I overlook the effect and everything comes to you according to it. The number of those who are seriously willing to serve Me and in the last time before the end want to help Me establish My kingdom amongst humanity is truly very small; but anyone who has this will I seize with all My love, and his earthly life is now fully regulated according to this will …. The human being himself would often act differently out of his will if he had not already submitted his will to Me beforehand, so that I can now direct him to be an efficient labourer for Me in My vineyard …. Yet I require his complete devotion to Me for this …. But then he can be fully confident that I will also include his earthly hardship and worries in My plan, that I will solve everything at the right time which worries him as an inextricable tangle. For if he wants to serve Me, then I will also serve him, and that spiritually as well as earthly …. But My love and wisdom often have other ways than seem good to the human being …. Yet I never want his harm, and never do I abandon him in times of earthly adversity …. I regulate everything, yet at My discretion, so that it ultimately serves the spiritual development of the human being himself and many fellow human beings who are entrusted to him, whom he can help and whom I therefore guide to him. Trustingly leave everything to Me that I will arrange it for you and you will truly do the right thing, for who could care for you more lovingly than I, into Whose service you have voluntarily entered? …. My aim is only ever the beatification of My creatures …. Whatever can be done for this I truly do, and if you want to help Me this will certainly not be to your detriment …. But you must always know that everything is arranged by Me and always serves you for the best, that all situations in life, good as well as bad, serve you to mature yourselves but also always open doors for you where new work is waiting for you, because your actual task consists of diligently working in My vineyard, for My kingdom will last forever, but the earthly kingdom will pass away as soon as the time is fulfilled ….
Amen

Earthly world is a passageway to the true home ….
B.D. 6298 from June 29th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The inclination towards the world is still the sign of the bond with God’s adversary, although you humans do not like to hear such a judgement about yourselves, yet you would unhesitatingly despise the world, if you had already completely detached yourselves from it. You could find no pleasure in material things, in joys and pleasures which lie outside of the spiritual kingdom, for your soul would …. long to return to the spiritual kingdom where it had been in the beginning, if it had detached itself from its enemy, it would know and feel that the material kingdom is only a passageway which imposes fetters on it, but it would never ever desire it. As a result of your ignorance, you humans believe that life on this earth is the epitome of what you call happiness, if you can shape this earthly life as you please …. because you don’t know true happiness, which is entirely different from the unfree, burdensome life in the flesh on this earth …. You do not know freedom in abundance of strength, you do not know the radiant light in which you are allowed to move once you have detached yourselves from the desire for the world …. because you still belong to the one who is lord of this world. Yet all desire will cease, when you seriously turn away from the one to whom you owe your existence as a human being …. And your desire now applies to another goal, the soul desires other pleasures than the world is able to offer it …. the soul recognises its weakness and inadequacy, and now desires strength and light, it longs for the state of perfection again, it strives with all its senses towards the spiritual kingdom of which the human being’s intellect cannot conceive. But the soul, which has detached itself from God’s adversary, knows that its true home is desirable. And that is why it is also unable to gain anything from the goods of the world, which it has learnt to recognise as empty appearances and which it therefore despises. As long as you humans desire the world, you are also still under his control, you still belong to him because you have not yet been able to muster the strength to detach yourselves from him, to renounce what he offers you in order to exchange goods, which can make you happy in truth. Yet you cannot possess both at the same time …. You have to give up the one in order to gain the other, you have to …. venture the step into the spiritual kingdom even if you still live on earth, for this is your decision of will, to want to exchange the material kingdom for the spiritual one of your own accord …. And once you have succeeded in doing so, you will have passed the test of will, you will have freed yourselves from the power of the one who holds you captive. And you will be helped in every way that you dare to take this step, you will be enticed and offered help, yet you will not be forced …. But the transience of earthly-material possessions is so often made clear to you that it should truly not be difficult for you to strive for that which is imperishable. And time and again God lets His call resound: Free yourselves from the fetters which prevent you from returning to the Father’s house …. give up the world, so that you can take possession of the spiritual kingdom again, which offers you peace and bliss, which the world can never offer you ….

Transience …. destructions ….
B.D. 6299 from June 30th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Everything earthly is transient …. There is no human being who does not know this, and yet there are only a few people who take this fact to heart and do not strive for earthly goods, there are only a few people who strive for the imperishable …. but the majority use all their strength just to gain possession of earthly goods despite the knowledge of their transience. And this justifies the question as to how the desire for them could be taken away without curtailing their free will. The knowledge of transience alone is not enough as long as the human being can only enjoy his possessions for the duration of his life. And there is only the possibility to repeatedly make him aware of transience by making him lose his own possessions through human influence or through expression in nature. Only when man recognizes the hopelessness of his endeavour, only when he recognizes that he himself has no power to secure his possessions, can his striving slowly change and turn to other aims …. Yet some people take a very long time to realize this until they tire of the hunt for earthly possessions, and they waste, as it were, the precious earthly lifetime which they should use to acquire spiritual goods. And therefore destructions of all kinds are also a blessing in a certain sense, because people thereby lose their material possessions and again and again are reminded of the transience of earthly things, and the most severe misfortunes or natural disasters can result in an overwhelming spiritual advantage for people, for God helps them, albeit in a painful way, to separate from that which chains them to earth, so that they will more easily find the path upwards …. Again and again God clearly and unmistakably shows people that it makes no sense to strive for earthly goods, and He instructs them to set themselves a spiritual aim …. Again and again He allows works of destruction to be carried out by human will which harm their fellow human beings, just as He Himself also intervenes directly and takes away from people what their heart is attached to …. always only for the purpose that they should direct all their striving towards what will remain and follow them into eternity. As long as the human being does not come to terms with the fact that he is using his strength wrongly …. as long as he only pays attention to the earthly-material, as long as he chases after dead aims, as long as his earthly life is an idle run and completely unsuccessful for his soul …. And therefore the decay of earthly things will become ever more apparent, ever more painful events will startle people and the destruction to which human life and earthly possessions will fall victim will be ever more immense, and the ultimate purpose of this is that people will be made aware of their transience …. so that they will reflect and strive to acquire imperishable possessions which can never be taken away from them …. For it is the time of the end when nothing will remain as it is, when only those imperishable goods will be valued which every person can still acquire ….

Last decision of faith ….
B.D. 6300 from July 1st 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You will be faced with the decision to confess Me or to deny Me, and this will be the prelude to a battle of faith such as has never been fought before. For it is My adversary’s last work that he will try to completely oust Me from people’s hearts because he believes he can overthrow Me in order to then take over the reign himself. And since this battle is waged using the most brutal means of coercion, since it is not a free decision of will which in no way uses threats or promises as weapons, this is an overstepping of My adversary’s authority …. it is an open action against Me with which My adversary pronounces his own judgement: that he will be bound so that he can no longer exert any influence on people …. But for people it is doubly difficult …. not only that this decision affects those who are not yet quite clear within themselves or to whom the denial of Myself means nothing more …. but also those people who stand by Me and want to fully confess Me will be put into a difficult situation by coercive measures, so that they will truly have to endure a difficult inner battle in order to be able to prove their loyalty to Me, for they will have to completely end earthly life, even if it is still left to them physically …. They will have to give up everything they own and will live a meagre existence as disenfranchised and outlaws …. And this is the time of which it is written: “I shorten the days, lest the elect yet falter ….” They will only need to suffer for a very short time and will be so extraordinarily strengthened by Me during this time that they will not regret their decision but will inwardly rejoice and exult in the certainty of My love, power and glory …. And they faithfully await the day of their salvation …. Only those who consciously close their eyes to the world and only await My coming will be overcomers and able to enter the paradise of the new earth …. And I know My own, I know who is capable of surviving this time of terror for the believers and withstanding satan’s last rage on this earth …. Nevertheless, I draw all people’s attention to this, for the weak can still educate themselves into strength of faith, because only firm will is necessary in order to also receive the strength to confess My name before the world. Anyone who still maintains too strong a bond with the world, who still stands in the midst of the world and is unable to detach himself from it, will succumb to the measures which are enacted in order to break My own’s will …. And he can consider himself blessed if I snatch him from the midst of life and spare him the fall into the abyss …. But this decision has to be demanded first, so that satan can also finish his game, so that he exposes himself, that his action is open battle against Me Myself …. For limits are set for him which he may not transgress but which he does not observe and therefore he will be put in chains anew. But afterwards humanity will also enter a state of peace and bliss on the new earth, for it can no longer be displaced by the enemy of its souls …. And thus a period of redemption will come to an end and a new one will begin again, as it has been intended since eternity …. Much is demanded of you humans during the time of this battle of faith, but it also brings the highest rewards to those who pass it …. And you humans can pass it if only you firmly and intimately unite with Me beforehand, if you have the earnest will to become and remain My own for all eternity …. Then I will never ever let you fall into his hands, then I will supply you with strength and also be with you Myself in greatest adversity …. And those who need unusual strength will be able to see Me, and they will stand firm until the day dawns when I Myself come to save My own and fetch them into a kingdom of peace …. when the time is fulfilled and the end of this earth has come ….
Amen

The congregation of Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6301 from July 2nd 1955, taken from Book No. 68
It is My will that My small congregation should firmly remain united, so that one supports the other spiritually and earthly …. All shall gather around the font of life and refresh themselves, they shall draw the strength from it which they will need more than ever the closer it gets to the end …. And the fact that the end is coming will be known and believed by everyone who allows himself to be permeated by My living water, for then he will have deeper insight and know why the end is approaching …. And it is My will that many people shall receive this knowledge, I want the elixir of life offered to all who cross your path …. And then it will be left to every person as to whether he wants to stay with you or turn away again from the source that My love has opened up for you …. Share the living water that flowed forth from My font with everyone …. Spread My Word which comes from above and is imparted to you …. and help to constantly increase the circle of those to whom I can impart strength through My Word because I know how urgently everyone will need this strength in the forthcoming time. Whatever can be done in order to spread My Gospel throughout the world shall be done by you, and I will bless everyone, for I alone know that ailing souls can still be saved by taking refuge in the healing font and recover through the delectable living water ….
All of you, who receive My Word directly or through My servants on earth, belong to My small flock which is protected by its shepherd …. You all belong to My church which I founded when I lived on earth …. You are all My apostles of the last days whom I send into the world with the instruction to proclaim My Gospel to people …. Know, that I Am with everyone of you who wants to work for Me and My kingdom …. know, that I will lead you to those whom you shall refresh in turn with nourishment and drink; know, that every person can render vineyard work who offers himself to Me for service …. But also believe that I need every one of you because a lot more work needs to be done until the end and because this work can only be undertaken by people who are willing to do My will, who thus accept instructions from Me Myself …. Believe, that I certainly know what will help erring souls in order to become enlightened and that I will always hand you the means which will beneficially affect them …. that I will always speak to them the right Words through you, on account of which My Words are imparted to you, so that I can address every person directly, and My Words can truly not fail to make an impression as long as their will is good and I still see an opportunity to save the human being …. Work together with combined strength and rest assured that I will stay within your midst, that I Myself invite people to come to the font of love and to allow themselves to become refreshed and invigorated …. Rest assured that I will bless every person’s services for Me and My kingdom, spiritually and earthly, and therefore be diligently active in My vineyard, for the time of harvest has come and I need many reapers, because there is not much time left until the end ….

Utilizing the divine word ….
B.D. 6302 from July 3rd 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Everyone will have to answer for how he used My word, how he let it affect him, how he adjusted to it when he had the grace to be addressed by Me Myself …. I will not condemn him if he did not recognize it as My word, nevertheless, one day he will bitterly regret having rejected a gift of grace which he could have recognized if he had been serious about doing the right thing and experiencing the truth …. But those who did not leave My word without impression, who felt it that they were addressed by Me and yet disregarded it out of convenience and carelessness, will have to answer, for they still resisted Me otherwise My voice should have touched them …. I address every person such that his heart will be touched if he is without inner resistance against Me …. Yet My word demands a change of his nature, and if the human being is not willing to do so he closes his heart and also his ear, and then he renders My word ineffective …. “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood will live for eternity ….” I have spoken these words and made clear to you humans the importance of accepting My word …. For I Myself am the word Which became flesh, and I Myself come to you in the word and bring you nourishment for your soul, which you must not underestimate because it alone guarantees you life in eternity. You cannot live without this nourishment, you will perish to eternal death if you don’t accept food and drink which give life to your soul …. You must accept Me Myself within you, and since I Myself am the word it will now also be understandable to you that you must not reject or disregard My word, that it will not remain without consequences if you pass by My word indifferently when it is offered to you …. You judge yourselves when one day you will recognize what you were commanded and how you behaved towards this gift of grace …. when you recognize that I Myself approached you in the word and offered you food and drink for your soul which you thoughtlessly rejected …. My word will testify against you, it will be resurrected on the last day, for a wasting, starving soul will one day stand before Me and testify by its condition how this soul has valued My word in earthly life …. And I cannot consider the soul other than according to its condition …. For it rejected what could help it to live, and what it now urgently needs in order to prepare a miserable life for itself it will have to struggle to acquire, and its remorse will be great for having forfeited on earth through its own fault what was abundantly available to it and would have earned it a glorious fate in the beyond …. I speak to people again and again, but only a few recognize the father’s voice, and therefore only a few accept My word …. But these will be blessed, for they constantly receive food and drink for their souls, which now enter into life in glory when they leave the earthly body …. And thus the soul judges itself which disregards My word, for it can only be considered as it shapes itself in free will, and it will enter the kingdom of the beyond in a deformed state, and My word will bear witness against it ….
Amen

Effect of the work of redemption on everything spiritual ….
B.D. 6303 from July 5th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The death of Jesus Christ on the cross has an effect on all living and dead creatures, on everything bound in creation and on all beings in the spiritual kingdom and in the entire universe …. Only the human being who has already penetrated spiritual knowledge to such an extent that he knows about the upward development of the spiritual from the depth to the height, that he knows that nothing is without life, i.e. everything is permeated by God’s strength, can understand this, to him the significance of the act of salvation is also clear, for everything existing in the universe is on this path to God but would never be able to reach the aim without the work of mercy of Jesus Christ …. For this work of mercy was not only begun with Jesus’ descent to earth but already an infinitely long time before, when the shaping of the spiritual into material works began, when the whole of creation was in the making …. For the creation only had the purpose of returning the spiritual, which had fallen into the abyss, to the height again, and since one’s own guilt …. an offence of free will against God …. had caused the deep fall, it was God’s work of mercy to take care of this fallen being and to make it possible for it to ascend again. The man Jesus crowned this work of mercy through His death on the cross, and He built a bridge from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light …. For even if all bound spiritual matter travels the path through creation, even if seemingly dead matter will one day also change into creations that bear witness to life …. the ascent would one day come to a standstill when the being has reached a stage where only free will is decisive …. Then it would irrevocably fail …. because everything spiritual is still in the realm of God’s adversary. And in this realm the gate has been opened by Jesus Christ into the realm of God …. It was through Him that the connection between these two worlds was created in the first place, a sacrifice was made through which God allowed Himself to be moved to open His kingdom for those who join Jesus in order to be able to leave the kingdom of darkness with His help. The infinitely long path of development through the whole of creation would be a futile undertaking if the gate had not been opened in the height to be reached, which Jesus achieved through His infinite love for the fallen being under unspeakable sacrifice and suffering, for without such a sacrifice as atonement for the fallen being’s inconceivably great guilt God would never ever have been able to admit a being from darkness into the kingdom of light, even if it had languished for eternities in the bound state …. The justice of God demanded compensation for this guilt, and the love of God, which had embodied itself in the man Jesus, paid the compensation and thus redeemed all guilt …. The struggle in every form before the embodiment as a human being would have been completely useless without Jesus’ act of salvation, for in the state of free will the being would have irrevocably sunk back into the abyss again because it lacked the help through Jesus Christ …. which, however, is now available to it in such abundance that redemption from the abyss is assured to everyone who calls to Jesus Christ that He may have mercy on him and carry his guilt under His cross …. He will be redeemed from sin and death and enter into eternal life ….

Love and faith power ….
B.D. 6304 from July 6th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The union with Me is the aim you should achieve on earth. You became unhappy when you separated from Me and can be blissfully happy again if you return to Me, thus long for My presence and do everything to be close to Me again …. that you change to love, because only love can unite with Me again …. If only you knew how powerful you can be on earth already if you establish unity with Me through a life of love …. Yet this is not believable to you, that you are able to accomplish everything because you no longer know any weakness or darkness in your union with Me, because you can make unlimited use of the strength from Me and therefore nothing is impossible for you anymore. People chase after aims which would appear completely worthless to them if they were able to work from within themselves in full possession of strength and light and only recognize every weakness and limitation as a sign of distance from God. Nothing earthly-material would appear so appealing to them because through their union with Me they would also have insight into the spiritual kingdom and only long for it with all their senses …. But they would also master everything earthly and be able to unfold powers for the blessing of their fellow human beings which can certainly be confirmed but not requested by their fellow human beings as long as they have not united with Me themselves through love …. For it is My divine strength of love which is at the disposal of those who have intimately united with Me through loving activity. Yet no human being on earth puts it to the test …. No human being makes use of the strength which now flows to him without restriction after he first shapes himself completely into love and then applies the strength in firm faith in My word. People are so weak in faith and thereby prevent the effect of My strength of love, but they could convince themselves of it at any time …. which, however, is only possible if heart and intellect seek Me, if their thinking, acting and will consciously draw benefit from the intimate bond with Me …. if the human being therefore does not wait until I take effect but becomes active himself in order to prove the strength of God working in him …. My spirit within him ensures that he does not misuse this strength, which guides and warns or impels his thoughts correctly …. always provided that the human being is willing to utilize the unlimited strength flowing to him from Me and thus, as it were, to glorify Me and My name through it, so that people will learn to believe and then likewise strive towards Me of their own accord …. You once came forth from Me full of strength and light, and you are entitled to light and strength in all fullness again if you have discarded imperfection and voluntarily unite with Me again …. And you can already reach this state on earth, thus you can also then work as a divine being which is not subject to any limitation of strength and light …. You can and should only believe that I do not set limits to your abundance of strength and light but that you yourselves do not go beyond the limitation of imperfection, even though you are able to do so …. And you should believe that it is My will when you request My strength without limitation and that I always give you My blessing when it is your will to glorify My name and to serve your neighbour …. You should express the strength of love because this also contributes towards the redemption of erring souls ….
Amen

Create and work for eternity ….
B.D. 6305 from July 7th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
It is your task on earth to create and work for eternal life, and if you comply with this task your temporal fate will also be protected even though you will still have battles to cope with so as not to become tired in your striving for the spiritual goal. However, if you look upon Me as your Father and endeavour towards true childship you will also be in Fatherly care and your earthly life will have to progress such as the Father sees fit for His children. But its trust in the Father’s love and care releases the child from all fear and worry, for it is full of confidence that its God and Creator, its Father of eternity, will direct everything just right …. And thus it can create and work for eternity, for it is full of love for Me which also expresses itself towards his fellow human being and thus carries out everything with a view to ascend, it strives towards Me fully consciously and lives a way of live in accordance with My will …. Every human being is given the opportunity to recognise his affiliation to Me because he is able to think about himself and his origin and this will mentally lead to realisation if he genuinely wants it. Thus every person can decide to work for eternal life, yet he is not compelled to do so …. Everyone can lay claim to My leadership and guidance, just as he can separate himself due to his own sense of strength and power, but then he will be isolated and far away, incapable of ascending …. but not striving for it either …. Then he will feel inwardly estranged from Me, he will not think of himself as My child nor look upon Me as the Father Who wants His child’s love ….
And then he will not produce anything for eternal life but only ever see the world and its goods and desire them with all his senses. The burden of life will indeed weigh heavily upon him in the beginning because I want to guide his thoughts to Me, yet this burden will become increasingly lighter because someone else will take it from him and give him whatever he strives for …. but also claims his soul in return. Create and work for eternity and do not pay so much attention to earthly life but accept it with all its burdens and troubles, for they are truly only for your own good, just as everything that happens to you merely serves those of you in gaining perfection who dedicate yourselves to Me, who strive for unity with Me, for My presence …. who hand yourselves over to Me so that I can take care of you …. You have truly chosen the best part even though you lack earthly pleasures, yet you will be rewarded in My kingdom and receive so abundantly that you will want to share it again and also be able to do so for your own happiness. Do not forget that earthly life is only given to you so that you will find the entry into My kingdom …. but which you sincerely have to look for …. and not that you forget your task and get caught in the mire of the world, so that you won’t succumb to My opponent’s temptations to stay away from your true destination …. Be aware that an arduous path is the right path but that I Myself will always meet you on this path, that I will take over your guidance and safely lead you to your true home ….
Amen

Union of the soul with the spirit ….
B.D. 6306 from July 8th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
When the human being’s soul unites with its spirit, when it therefore leaves the guidance to it, the human being cannot go wrong, and all his thinking, wanting and acting will now be rightly directed …. But when does the soul unite with its spirit? …. This is the moment when the human being learns to believe in a God and creator Whose creature he is himself out of innermost conviction, and when he has the desire to enter into contact with this recognized God …. when his thoughts are turned towards Him and he inwardly desires to enter into a relationship with Him which is pleasing to God …. when he positively attunes himself towards God …. Then he will be seized by the divine within himself, the spirit slumbering in him will guide him from that moment on and he will feel inwardly urged to live according to God’s will, he will ignite love within himself, because this is already the working of the spirit in the human being and because the spirit can now also express itself noticeably, because the human being gives him the right to do so through his way of life in love …. Thus, the first sign of a spirit awakened to life is the working of love, for the spirit determines the soul …. the thinking, feeling and willing in the human being …. and it can certainly be said of a loving person that his soul has united with the spirit. And then the human being will also live a spiritual life alongside his earthly life, then his thoughts will not only be concerned with the world and earthly things, then he will often mentally dwell in the kingdom where he seeks God; he will deal with questions which lie outside of earthly knowledge, and he will then, as it were, pose these questions to the spirit working within him, which will also answer them, even though the human being only ‘imagines himself to be mentally active’ …. The desire to be in right relationship with God irrevocably results in the unification of his soul with the spirit, and this desire will certainly be granted to him, for it is a spiritual request which the human being sends to the creator of the universe, which is heard and which is always granted, because it is the human being’s purpose of life in the first place to enter into right relationship with Him …. But then the spirit will completely take over the human being’s guidance, and then he will also safely reach his aim …. The divine in the human being will always express itself when his thoughts seriously take the path to God, for then God Himself will also work on him through His spirit, and every thought turned towards Him is a step upwards, and if this thought is consciously pursued by the human being sending a prayer to his God and creator of eternity, then God will also soon reveal Himself to him as father, for prayer is the bridge which establishes a connection from the human being to God …. But then the human being will be in the best of care, for the essential deity will take hold of him and affect him through the spirit so that he will increasingly narrow the gap between himself and God, for the spirit will constantly push towards the father-spirit and the human being’s desire to come closer to God will grow ever greater until it is fulfilled in complete union with Him through love …. which now fills the human being’s nature because the eternal love Itself is active in him ….
Amen

Salvation only through Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6307 from July 9th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
It is not impossible for a person to release himself from the bondage which was his fate due to his past apostasy from Me, for through My death on the cross you can put yourselves in possession of strength which you completely lacked before, and you can resist what was impossible for you before. You humans do not understand the significance of My act of salvation, and words alone are not enough if you yourselves do not mentally deal with why this act of salvation was so necessary for you, why a human being had to die so that you became free, so that you could draw strength for your redemption …. You do not understand that I have only created an opportunity for you to reach the former height, to take the place again which you once voluntarily gave up …. You yourselves, in your imperfect state, cannot measure how you used to be, but you can achieve it again, to enter the original state …. precisely through My act of salvation, because I Myself atoned for the great offence against Me through My death on the cross by suffering unspeakably for you as a human being and dying an exceedingly painful death …. Admittedly, you still remain bound as long as you oppose the act of salvation, for as long as you don’t accept a gift of grace offered to you by My love you are completely unable to liberate yourselves, you remain without strength and without light in the power of the one from whom I want to liberate you. But the strength can only be received from Me Myself, and therefore you must also acknowledge Me as the one Who brings you redemption from your sin and the ensuing death …. But as soon as you acknowledge the redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself in order to redeem the guilt of sin for you, it will be easy for you to free yourselves from My adversary, for now I can impart strength and grace to you in the richest measure …. You need not doubt for a moment that you will become free, for I have already purchased this deliverance for you through My blood, which I shed for you …. Thus My adversary can no longer hold you back if you want to break away from him. He has lost his power over you as soon as you turn to Me in Jesus Christ …. as soon as you place yourselves under My cross and thereby confess that you are and want to remain My own for eternity. This will can awaken in you because I died to strengthen your will, because I acquired for you what My adversary withholds from you …. strengthening of the will …. For the will alone decides whether you return to Me or want to remain with him as his appendage …. But in order for you to experience this strengthening of will, you must therefore make use of the treasure of grace acquired through My death on the cross …. Only from this source can you draw strength to resist, for only through Jesus’ death was the fountain of grace opened and made accessible to you humans. And therefore Jesus must be acknowledged as God’s Son and redeemer of the world, Who was only a cover for Me before people’s eyes so that I Myself could accomplish the act of salvation for you humans …. For you were also My share, and My concern for the once fallen is tireless, so that it returns to Me again in free will …. For this reason your will had to be strengthened, for you would never have changed your will on your own and taken the path back to Me, for this was prevented by My adversary, under whose control you had been since your fall into the abyss and from whom I therefore redeemed you. You can all be released from him, yet only if you take the path to the cross and then commend yourselves to Me as your lord, Who will truly help you and give you the strength to finally release yourselves from the bondage of death ….
Amen

God's constant call ….
B.D. 6308 from July 10th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
People have distanced themselves so far from Me that My call barely touches their ears, that they are indeed still able to hear it but they are not aware that they have to pay attention to it and that they therefore allow it to be drowned out because other sounds penetrate them which they willingly comply with …. The voice of the world is heard by everyone and only a few close their ears to it, but My voice is lost, for it does not impose itself, it calls and warns, it lovingly entices and admonishes without, however, exerting compulsion on the human being, for it must be willingly listened to if it is to bring beneficial success …. But the more distant the person is from Me the weaker is the effect of My voice, and therefore My bearers of light will also have little success with those whose unkind way of life betrays their great distance from Me …. For even if My word is brought to them they don’t feel touched by it, for them it is just empty sound which disturbs them far more than influences them beneficially. Nevertheless, again and again I try to be heard …. Again and again I bring My bearers of light together with them, I address them Myself through My servants and yet every now and then I achieve that a person becomes perplexed and takes notice …. This success will only rarely be recorded, and yet nothing shall be omitted if even one soul is saved from ruin. Anyone who has given up on Me will hardly find Me again, and then it will still require quite powerful means which I will also still use before the end comes. My voice will then sound loud and audible and only confirm what was previously proclaimed to them in a quiet speech …. My concern is always for those who are still far away from Me and have no idea what this great distance means for them …. I will not give up on a person until the end, and if only I succeed in making them consciously listen to Me for once My words will be so insistent that they will not remain without success. But often this is not possible, for I do not take away their freedom of will, and it requires free will to listen to Me without resistance. But then My word will have great strength, it will no longer let go of the human being and, if not sooner, he will raise a fearful cry to Me in the hour of the end which, because it comes from the heart, will be heard by Me and will give him the last hope …. and he will be spared the last thing …. the new banishment into matter …. I only want to save people from this, I only want to achieve that they still find their way to Me beforehand, that I can still call them before the end is there …. so that they do not belong to those who have to languish in bondage and darkness for endless times again …. The short time of grace until the end should therefore still be utilized, and you, My servants on earth, should remember that every saved soul means infinite joy for Me, because I don’t want the being to suffer and be banished again …. You should do everything to make My word accessible to those who are distant from Me …. You should exhaust all possibilities to be active on My behalf; you should know that My blessing will always be upon you and your start, because you only accomplish My will if you take care of those I would like to address but cannot address them without your cooperation because they distance themselves from Me and don’t hear My call. You also have access to those who are denied access to Me, and you can speak to them purely humanly and inform them of My working on and in you. They will not believe you but they will nevertheless temporarily open their ears to you and something can penetrate them which will then come to the surface when the time is there which I announce again and again. And then still a seed can come up, a tiny plant can sprout and strive towards the light …. A person can still recognize in a flash before the end and then take refuge in Me …. And I will accept everyone who then still comes to Me, for I want to save but not eternally condemn ….
Amen

Idleness of life …. church christians ….
B.D. 6309 from July 11th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
People must be directly influenced, for they pay little attention to the fate of their fellow human beings and remain unaffected by it, thus they do not draw any conclusions which could favourably influence their way of life. People’s indifference is far worse than a blatant rejection, for such arises from ignorance and can still result in a change of attitude, whereas an indifferent person is nowhere to be touched and therefore will be lost without salvation if he cannot be roused from his indifference …. which always requires a distress of his own life. People can find themselves in a spiritual void despite church faith and seemingly religious life because their soul is not involved in any way, because only purely mechanical demands are fulfilled and a spiritual attitude towards it is completely missing. These people will outwardly be counted among the ‘righteous’, among the ‘faithful’ …. But they are always only church christians for whom their christianity is a worldly affair like everything else …. To teach them that they lack the spirit would be unsuccessful, for they have too high an opinion of themselves and do not accept such teachings, always relying on the fulfilment of what is demanded of them ecclesiastically …. And yet, their life is an idle one if it does not reveal a change in love …. And these people often have to be touched hard so that they wake up from their soul’s sleep, so that they reflect and ask themselves what might be the reason for such strokes of fate …. They must be affected themselves, only then will it be possible for them to seriously consider spiritual questions, and then the strokes of fate will have been a blessing. As soon as a person is willing to love he will also be affected by his fellow human being’s fate, and then he can draw spiritual benefit from everything he experiences around him …. But people’s hearts are hardened, love has grown cold …. No matter how great the misfortune …. it does not trigger a warm feeling in the fellow human being, and even less does it determine him to reflect on the cause or to change his way of life. It is a danger in which people float because of their indifference, for all remedies remain without success as long as they do not let themselves be touched by it. And therefore ever more severe blows have to come upon people, and the adversity will not abate because it alone can be heard as a wake-up call and bring about a change of heart …. For everything will still be tried which could serve the salvation of those souls ….
Amen

Apostasy and return free will act ….
B.D. 6310 from July 13th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The separation between God and the beings was accomplished in free will …. The return to God must therefore also take place in free will, and therefore God can only open up every possibility for the beings, yet the will always remains decisive as to how the possibilities are utilized, for even if the being, through God’s love and mercy, has reached a degree of maturity again after an infinitely long time which already signifies an approach to God again, the last step towards Him must nevertheless be taken voluntarily, and it is because of this last step that you humans on earth, who are the beings in that degree of maturity which the infinitely long time of pre-development has brought you. And now God again opens up every possibility for you to take the step yourselves, yet He does not force you but leaves you free will. But if you look back on your earthly life you will see how easy it was to take this step …. And with only little knowledge you will not be able to understand that a human being can fail in this last test of will …. Yet you must endure a battle because there is one who wants to keep you in the depths and also does everything on his part to win …. For he fights against God and God against him for every soul, yet this battle is brought to a head by the very human being himself in free will …. Thus he is influenced from both sides and it is up to the human being to choose his fate, earthly life was given to him for this purpose. For he fell away from God of his own free will and must now also take the path to Him again without any compulsion if he wants to attain his former glory again, the state of light and strength and bliss in which he was in the beginning. This is why the return to God is also a process of infinitely long duration, for the distance was too great, so that it takes an extremely long time until the ascent is reached again, where free will then is the deciding factor …. and this time, although only very short, can just as well bring about the renewed fall as the final return to God, and then the process of return to God has to start anew and therefore so often endless periods of time are necessary …. which, however, can never be shortened by God’s will if the human being in his freedom resists Him …. Whatever can be done by God to shorten the separated state He truly does not refrain from, because the fallen being’s return to Him is His beatitude …. but the human being’s free will determines how long the being remains separated from God …. For this cannot be eliminated because it was the cause of the fall into the abyss …. (13.7.1955) otherwise the redemption of the spiritual being would have been accomplished long ago through God’s greater than great love. But then it could never reach the highest degree of perfection, for it would then be a being according to God’s will which could not be other than as God had shaped it. A being without free will is nothing independent, it is only a creature of God like all other works of creation …. But God wants to have free, independent beings around Him which strive for divinization out of themselves …. And these beings therefore often need endless long times when free will turns away from God again and again and strives towards the abyss. But God’s love does not diminish, and God’s wisdom always finds new means which can lead to a change of will if the human being is to prove himself in the stage of free will. He does not abandon any being, for His love for the fallen being is boundless …. But free will alone is decisive, which His love will never determine. Yet the human being can feel the strength of divine love and now voluntarily turn to Him, and then he will also be close to his perfection, for whatever voluntarily surrenders to Him will be seized by God and eternally no longer surrendered …. The separation is now lifted and the bond with God is now so firmly established that the being will never ever detach itself from the one Whom it has recognized as its God and father from eternity ….

Right love is life ….
B.D. 6311 from July 14th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The law of order is love, the epitome of blessedness is love, and God in His primordial substance is love …. And everything that submits to this law will be blissful and united with God. And that means to be in possession of strength and to stand in the light of truth …. It means to be able to create and shape as a divine being in supreme wisdom and to be able to rule over worlds and their inhabitants which are handed over to the care of a being which has become perfect through love, which can now work on them in a redeeming sense. Perfection can therefore only be achieved through love, and perfection includes the uninterrupted reception of light and strength from the original source …. from God …. Such a state of perfection cannot be approximately described to the human being on earth as long as he himself is not close to this perfection …. He can still reach it on earth, for every human being can live in love …. Yet no human being is forced to do so, and only few voluntarily strive towards this aim, for their wrongly directed love prevents them from doing so, and this wrongly directed love is therefore the wall between light and darkness, between beatitude and torment …. between fullness of strength and complete weakness and inability to do happy things …. Where love is still wrongly directed neither light nor strength can enter, for wrongly directed love is the most effective means of God’s adversary to prevent the return to Him and thus to make the source of strength inaccessible to people …. Misdirected love is the inherited evil which has afflicted people since Adam’s fall and from which they will not be released until they call upon the one for help, Whose love was rightly directed and Who calls upon all people to follow Him …. He taught people where to direct their love, He proclaimed the right gospel to them when He walked on earth, He exemplified right love to people, and He died on the cross for the strengthening of people’s will in order to show them what right love is capable of and what it results in …. the resurrection to eternal ‘life’ …. For life means to be able to work and create in possession of light and strength in supreme bliss, because the eternal source of life now continuously emanates light and strength onto a being which has completely joined Him through love. This source of strength has been made accessible to you humans through Jesus’ death on the cross. But you have to practice love yourselves in order to reach that source which now continuously nourishes you, which gives you eternal life in bliss …. Therefore fight against selfish love, against the wrongly directed love which only knows as its aim everything that belongs to the adversary of God …. fight against it, for it only brings you death …. But ask Jesus Christ to help you live in the love He preached …. Ask Him for strength and fortification of your will, join Him and follow Him, and your earthly path will safely lead into the valley of life, for this is why He died on the cross, so that you can be given the strength for this which you, as fallen beings, lack as long as you are still in the bonds of the one who is God’s adversary …. Jesus Christ will release you from these bonds, Jesus Christ will lead you the way to God, to the final union with God, which He Himself had already found on earth …. For the man Jesus lived a true life of love on earth and thereby shaped Himself into a shell which God Himself could now occupy …. in order to suffer and die for people so that they might attain eternal life ….

Reunion in the beyond ….
B.D. 6312 from July 15th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
There will be a reunion in the spiritual world, you humans can be certain of that …. But whether a reunion with your loved ones can be granted right after your departure from this earth depends on your soul’s degree of maturity as well as on your loved ones’ souls; if this maturity is not yet sufficiently developed to enable spiritual vision it will have to be acquired first, which could take a long time. Not until the soul has achieved a certain degree of maturity can it assimilate spiritual impressions. Hence the soul has to be enlightened to see who is approaching and although a less mature soul also knows itself to be surrounded by beings, it will not be able to recognise them as long as it lacks spiritual vision. After all, the beings’ happiness consists of their ability to communicate with those who were close to them on earth …. The souls which are already enlightened as a result of their maturity will therefore always approach their loved ones, either to interact with equally mature spiritual beings or to assist the weaker souls in achieving maturity too ….
Consequently, the more mature souls have the ability to recognise the weaker souls but not vice versa …. because weaker souls should be inspired to strive and not be compelled on account of proof …. since it would always be proof if they were approached by a soul of light which it recognises as one with whom it had been linked on earth …. And thus the joy of reunion once again is a gift of mercy and the share of the mature spirit, who feels unspeakably happy as a result and, in turn, does everything to help the immature souls to reach the same degree of happiness …. They support them in the most loving way and never tire in encouraging them …. yet always unknown by them because they approach them in the same cover, in the same garment. The longing for the souls who were near to them on earth draws them closer indeed and can be an enormous advance, and when the moment of recognition comes the souls are infinitely grateful and happy …. And only then do they realise the care which had been given to them and in turn attend in the same manner to the souls which still languish in darkness …. they now help them to ascend because every soul longs for those who were once close to them on earth.
There will be a reunion, but the time when this is possible is up to you …. If you have already gained this certain knowledge on earth you will do whatever it takes to at least achieve the degree of maturity on earth which will allow you to enter the realms of light where you will be welcomed by those you love and who can instantly recognise you; or where you can, without being known, begin your work of deliverance on these souls …. Just take care that you don’t pass to the other side without knowledge …. take care, that you have already found God in Jesus Christ so that you …. redeemed by Him …. can enter the spiritual realm …. Then this entry will give you much happiness because of the joy of reunion …. However, if you have not attained maturity on earth you may have to wait a long time …. because everything can only take place in accordance with law, your freedom of will has to be observed even in the spiritual realm so that you too may be greatly blessed one day ….
Amen

Cosmic phenomena ….
B.D. 6313 from July 16th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Very soon you will know for certain that something is taking shape in the cosmos, for unusual events will worry you humans because you will be unable to find an explanation for them. Many speculations will surface, many opinions will meet with conflicting notions, yet only those people’s points of view come close to the truth who suspect a connection between that which was proclaimed in Word and Scripture, which people were told by seers and prophets at all time …. Anyone with spiritual vision can find an explanation for all events, for everything has a spiritual meaning and is intended to fulfil a spiritual purpose: to draw people’s attention to their actual purpose of life so that they prepare themselves for the imminent Judgment …. And science, too, will support this, for it will discover the unusual changes in nature first, the cosmic happenings, which will confound them, and the significant appearances which they will not be able to explain due to lack of knowledge. They will observe and marvel but they will not accept the only true answer that the earth will be shaken to its foundations, which could indeed be caused by these phenomena. They won’t want to believe it and will therefore always argue against it if the Scriptures, the ancient prophecies, are pointed out to them, if they hear the opinion of the believers or if the messengers of My Word proclaim to them the approaching end …. And therefore it will be difficult to make the intervention on My part plausible to worldly people, because an attempt will be made to explain everything in a purely scientific way. And only a few will become aware of these unusual phenomena and therefore ever more assuredly draw people’s attention to the end.
And I will so evidently support their words of admonition and warning that even the scientists will apprehensively admit their lack of knowledge …. And they will discover a star which will come constantly closer to the vicinity of earth and which will apparently take an irregular course …. By observing its path their attention is drawn to ever new peculiarities …. And they will recognise it as a danger to earth …. and at the same time they won’t want to believe in its destruction because it will never before have been experienced …. But I will allow it to happen, because My eternal plan of Salvation necessitates something extraordinary which still intends to benefit humanity …. and because it shall be an warning sign of the work of destruction which will follow soon afterwards and which will bring this period of Salvation to conclusion …. The more the end approaches, the greater will be the irregularities which people will experience, because they are meant to take notice and begin to wonder about the correspondence with that which is quoted by the believers as the Word of God, as predictions by seers and prophets, and endorsed as truth …. And now My spirit also proclaims through My servants on earth the near end again and My loudly resounding voice of thunder before this event …. and these very phenomena will bear witness of the truth of My Word …. Pay attention you humans, and just look at everything as indications of the end, which I give to all of you so that you do not fall prey to ruin, for everything that happens is so important that it would be able to convince you if you were of good will …. The time is fulfilled and the end is near ….
Amen

Spiritual rebirth ….
B.D. 6314 from July 17th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
The turning point in your life is the hour when you tread the spiritual path, the hour when your thoughts venture into an area which is to be sought outside of the earthly …. the hour when you become aware of the outcome, thus realize that a higher being has created you, on Whom you are now dependent, both in body and soul …. This hour can be the beginning of a rapid ascent upwards for you, as soon as from then on you concern yourselves more with such thoughts than with earthly thoughts; but it can also take a long time until you have detached yourselves from the world, thus your thoughts can repeatedly wander back into the earthly world, and then it will take a struggle until you finally continue unswervingly on the path which you have recognized as the only right one. If only you find it at all during your life on earth …. If the human being has an earthly life on earth which fully satisfies him, then he will hardly take that path, instead he will intoxicate himself again and again, and his senses are extremely firmly rooted to earth, he can hardly detach himself, and he must be prompted by strokes of fate to think differently …. What hinders him from finding the right path has to be taken away from him …. And this shows that it would not be a blessing for the human being’s development if the human being were granted an easy and beautiful earthly life, for in such a life it would take far longer if there was any prospect at all of a change of the human being’s will. And yet, sorrow and suffering need not necessarily be life’s companions, for it is possible for the human being to develop love for his neighbour in every situation of life, and it is this love which certainly also leads on the path to spiritual rebirth …. It is love which will always direct thoughts towards the eternal love Itself, Which then inevitably takes possession of every human being and draws him onto the right path …. How beautifully you humans could therefore all live on earth and also enjoy this life if you wanted to shape your being into love …. Then it would truly not be necessary to let yourselves go through hardship and suffering, then your thoughts would very often be in those spheres, although earthly life would also give you what makes you happy …. The purpose of your earthly life is the transformation into love, the transformation of the self-love dwelling in you into unselfish neighbourly love …. What you now do voluntarily, out of yourselves, need not first be achieved by means which are painful for you …. You would not need to suffer if you would kindle love within yourselves and let it flare up into brightest embers …. For then the purpose of earthly life would have been achieved, that you had taken the path which leads upwards, then your thoughts will cross over into that kingdom far more often, even if you have tasks to fulfil on earth or are placed in a circle of duties which demands much of you …. You will do justice to both, but your soul will soon feel more at ease in the spheres into which its spirit pushes it than where the body still has to stay …. Yet adversity and suffering can be alien to the human being, for then he will also live in accordance with God’s will without such, and God’s blessing is assured to him earthly and spiritually …. For He has promised people that He will take fatherly care of His children …. and love for God and one’s neighbour proves God’s childship …. it leads to complete union with Him and eternal bliss ….
Amen

'Descent into hell ….'
B.D. 6315 from July 18th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
When humanity’s hour of salvation struck, the previously departed spiritual beings …. the souls of people before the birth of Christ …. dwelled in an intermediate realm, neither on earth nor in the kingdom of light and bliss, and waited for their hour of salvation …. This is only comprehensible for you humans if you know about the original sin and the reason for the act of Salvation, if you know about the infinitely wide chasm between the once fallen spirits and God …. The human being’s earthly life was unable to bridge this gulf, even if it was lived according to divine will, for the original sin had not been redeemed as yet and the human being would never have been able to redeem it during one life on earth …. the redemption through Jesus Christ, however, applied to all spiritual beings, the act of Salvation was accomplished for all people, past, present and future …. For Jesus’ crucifixion opened the gate into the kingdom of light, so the souls in the intermediate realm were also able to enter as soon as they acknowledged the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ …. This plan of Salvation through Jesus Christ regarding the return of the spirits to God was decided from the start, and from the time of the first forefathers the coming of the Redeemer was repeatedly announced through seers and prophets …. And all people who professed God, who made an effort to live according to His will, were told about the Messiah Who was meant to bring salvation to people …. Yet not all lived to see Him, many generations before Him were called back from earth, and their souls would now have to linger for their Saviour. This is why Jesus descended to hell after His death …. He wanted to bring them deliverance from Satan’s shackles as well, since the latter was still able to keep them enslaved because the guilt of sin had not been fully redeemed as yet. For God’s adversary would never ever have released these souls to which he was entitled in view of the fact that they had followed him voluntarily into the abyss. However, in hell, too, existed many obstinate souls which only regarded the divine Redeemer, like everyone else, as a human being akin to themselves and did not believe in the redemption through Him from sin and death …. Their free will to decide also had to be respected, therefore Jesus did not enter this realm of spirits in His radiant state but as Jesus, the man, Who had died on the cross …. Yet many knew that He was the Messiah Who was repeatedly announced to them …. All souls could have found this faith in Him, because God’s messengers of light had constantly informed them of the events taking place on earth …. and because the forefathers devoted to God in that realm did not stop informing them of the prospect of the divine Redeemer’s coming …. For they acted on the Lord’s instruction, so that His descent into hell would be expected and He was thus able to bring redemption to countless souls and open the gate to beatitude for them as well …. The descent into hell resulted in the return of the first fallen spirits to God, for whom the human being Jesus had paid the purchase price through His crucifixion, and thus, from then on the actual process of return began; the first spirits having been bound by Lucifer found their freedom for good, even though their previous life had already prepared the path for these souls up to gate, which was still closed but which Jesus had opened and thereby cleared the path into the Father’s house for every soul which wants to walk with Jesus Christ ….

Divine guidance ….
B.D. 6316 from July 20th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You all need My guidance because otherwise you would take the wrong path, for if I don’t guide you, someone else will guide you who doesn’t want you to reach the aim for the purpose of which you live on earth. And I also take care of every single one of you and only want you to follow Me without resistance …. that you consciously entrust yourselves to Me by commending yourselves to the one Who created you by admitting your weakness. For you know that you have a mighty one over you to Whom you are subject …. Therefore entrust yourselves to this mighty one, surrender yourselves to Him and ask for His guidance, His strength and His protection …. Know that I love you all and don’t want to lose any of you to My adversary …. but also know that I don’t force you to turn to Me but that you have to do it voluntarily. But then I will take hold of you and never leave you again. And one day you will realize what this means when you look back over your earthly life and also see the dangers through which I have led you to your salvation. Don’t walk alone, that would be your undoing, for then My adversary will constantly walk next to you and try to push you away ever more, which he will easily succeed in doing, for you cannot resist his temptations as long as you lack the strength which only I can give you …. Let yourselves be guided by Me and consciously request this guidance, otherwise My love cannot become active in you, which certainly applies to you constantly but cannot become effective against your will. And therefore you will certainly constantly receive admonitions and warnings, yet you yourselves must open your heart and ear and want Me to guide you on all your ways …. And you will truly no longer go astray, you will surely reach the aim ….
Amen

Renewed captivity ….
B.D. 6317 from July 21st 1955, taken from Book No. 68
What will happen to you humans if you don’t change cannot be described to you pessimistically enough, for it will exceed your worst imagination …. It is most dreadful for you, because you will have to give up your already attained degree of freedom, because you will be constrained and for infinitely long periods of time find yourselves in captivity again, until one day you will meet the same fate of living as a human being on earth once more …. But irrespective of how shockingly your fate is described to you, you don’t allow yourselves to be affected by it and yet, you would still be able to avoid this fate if only you would take it to heart and change your ways …. For I only require you to change your nature, I only require you humans to change your attitude towards each other, that you help rather than fight and antagonise each other, that one will make the other happy and offer kindness instead of being mutually nasty and intensify the hatred in yourselves. I only require every individual to make an effort in cultivating unselfish neighbourly love, then his whole nature will change and then the person will make contact with Me Myself, and the danger of a new banishment after the end of this earth will no longer exist for him ….
And even if you don’t want to believe what awaits you, you should nevertheless try to improve yourselves, for a life of love would still only have beneficial effects on earth, because then you will have the energy at your disposal which a heartlessly thinking and behaving person is lacking …. The forthcoming fate can only ever be portrayed to you as a horrible experience to which you will fall prey yourselves …. And you should only ever be encouraged into loving activity if you want to evade this dreadful outcome …. If you find it difficult to believe …. you can nevertheless still live a life of love, and you will soon know for certain what you don’t want to believe, for then your spirit will become enlightened by love and you will clearly recognise the inevitable consequence of a violation against the law of order …. because then you will be able to observe cause and effect in every event and experience …. Yet anyone who remains indifferent to these admonitions and warnings will experience what he could have avoided …. and he himself will be the victim of his life without love. For all his strength will be taken away from him and the utterly weak substance of his soul will harden again, the most solid matter will confine the being again and the release from it will take infinitely long periods of time …. in order to finally arrive at the same level you are at the moment …. An infinite cycle, which will repeat itself until you exclude yourselves through conscious endeavour and a conscious connection to Me …. Only then will the process through matter be over and the path into the spiritual realm assured for you ….
You could already achieve this now if only you would put My will into practise: that you release yourselves from all restraints through loving activity, that you believe in Me and seek contact with Me …. and that you establish this contact precisely through this loving activity …. You are able to do this while you still live on earth and the energy of life is at your disposal, but you only have very little time left …. Use it well, believe My Words, believe that an appalling fate awaits you, and consciously avoid this fate by just striving to live correctly and honourably and practising neighbourly love. It is an urgent exhortation which I proclaim to you with a loving heart: Change yourselves before it is too late …. Remember Me and remember your neighbour with kindness, so that you become free and don’t have to fear what is approaching you ….
Amen

Release from form ….
B.D. 6318 from July 25th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
You have already had to travel through countless forms and you are still not released from the form, for your soul …. the spiritual, which shall develop upwards …. is still enclosed in a material shell which signifies a shackle for it, for it cannot rise freely and light-heartedly into the spiritual kingdom. Yet it has already travelled an infinitely long path, and if you humans knew how short the last stretch of the path still is and how close an exceedingly glorious aim beckons you, you would only have this aim in mind and head towards it …. You are told again and again but you believe too little, and it is also not possible to give you the recollection of the past time of your development because then you would do everything driven by fear in order not to have to travel this path again. You have to strive towards the final aim without any knowledge, yet you are given knowledge of it in the form of teachings which you, however, can just as well reject as accept because no proof can be given to you. Only a few people accept such knowledge as truth, but these have a considerable advantage over those who don’t believe and therefore live irresponsibly into the day …. For they don’t need proof because they feel it within themselves, which is truth, and now also live on earth in accordance with the realization …. They overcome the last form, as it were, which only shelters their soul until the death of the body, in order to then be able to enter the spiritual kingdom completely carefree. People on earth already walk close to the border of the spiritual kingdom, it is no longer a long way to the aim, and the death of the body can be the end of an endlessly long time of development …. But the cycle can also start anew, the being can fall from the already reached height into the deepest depth …. the already considerably loosened outer form can condense again and there is no question of a ‘release from form’ for an infinitely long time …. because the time of grace in the last embodiment was not used …. But which human being believes this and draws the consequences from it? …. It is a matter of will which every person has to decide for himself; only knowledge can be presented to people, but the human being himself has to take a stand on it without coercion if he wants to draw an advantage from such knowledge …. However, this will be made easy for him if he does not resist, for then so much thought material will be brought to him that he will, as it were, be prompted by himself to think about his development, about his earthly task and about his aim …. What he does not seek himself will be brought to him and again and again his will will be influenced to think about it ….. Only the final decision has to be made by him, and this now requires a conscious life …. a life in accordance with that knowledge …. overcoming the last form through the intimate desire for freedom, for light and strength …. for God, through self-shaping to love …. Only through love does the spiritual redeem itself from the form which was only given to you because it lacked love …. But the power of love breaks every form and gives the spiritual eternal freedom ….
Amen

Peace in God ….
B.D. 6319 from July 26th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Only in union with Me do you find true peace …. Only when My ray of love hits you will you feel bliss …. And even if you believe you have found earthly happiness it will not last as long as you are not united with Me. True peace can only be found in union with Me, because only the soul feels it and is not satisfied with earthly happiness …. The human being’s thoughts and aspirations can indeed only be earthly directed, thus the body can likewise determine the soul to strive for earthly pleasures …. But the soul will never feel truly happy, for what truly makes the soul happy can only originate in the spiritual kingdom, and it can only receive spiritual possessions through direct union with Me. You humans will only experience this once you have been spiritually nourished, once you have thereby recognized the love with which your father inclines towards you …. then nothing else will come close to satisfying you, even if the body still has needs it would like to satisfy. But only that which flows to you from Me will cause the soul happiness …. Then the soul will feel that its desire is satisfied, whereas earthly fulfilment is not true happiness but only a temporary intoxication. But worldlings don’t understand this, they only continue to chase after earthly goods and pleasures, and they always try to numb the feeling of emptiness which arises in them with new sensual pleasures …. they only ever feel satisfied as long as they indulge in worldly pleasures in order to be dissatisfied with themselves and the world when these worldly pleasures subside …. They will never find true peace, because I reserve this for Myself and can only ever bestow it upon the one who turns to Me and longs for true bliss. The world cannot give you humans this peace, for it is My share, it has nothing to do with the world …. But people can certainly live in the midst of the world and still be blissfully happy in My peace …. And this is what you humans should strive for, so that earthly life can also become a source of bliss for you if you only ever seek contact with Me in it …. And you establish the connection with Me through loving activity. Hence unselfish neighbourly love will in turn earn you the deepest peace, you will no longer ask for anything but only ever want to give, and the deeper and more blissful will be the peace which fills your soul. And you yourselves will be rich, for you will receive in the same measure as you give out …. Hence you will not suffer earthly hardship either, you will therefore no longer need to desire earthly goods because you will receive everything you need and have no desire for more …. Then inner peace will fill your heart but it must not be confused with earthly satisfaction …. For I will give you the peace which the world cannot give you …. This is My promise, which will also be fulfilled if you seek contact with Me, if you keep My commandments and work in love and thereby also give Me the opportunity to consider you in the same way as you distribute …. Then a deep peace will sink into your heart and you will already be blessed on earth ….
Amen

Voluntarily being of service …. Selfish love ….
B.D. 6320 from July 28th 1955, taken from Book No. 68
Anyone who knows the spirits’ process of development, who is informed of Creation’s meaning and purpose, also knows that the human being as the most perfect work of creation forms the closing stage of an infinitely long process of development which has taken place on this earth. He knows that this will irrevocably be followed by his stay in the kingdom of the beyond where material creations no longer exist, where development can certainly continue under incredibly difficult conditions yet in an entirely different way than in the material world …. if the process of development on earth has not been completed to a point that the soul will be able to enter the kingdom of light. But only the least people on earth realise this, for it first requires the will to know this in order to be able to understand and believe it and this is only rarely present in people. In contrast, people’s will is extremely strongly inclined to utilise the works of creation such that they will benefit their physical life …. Admittedly, by doing so people unconsciously help the bound spiritual substances in the creations to progress, because it is of service to them, although in the law of compulsion …. A great deal of matter is being dissolved through human will, it is reshaped into constantly new creations all of which are assigned useful functions, which necessarily results in the spirits’ progress …. Yet the human being himself can thereby also come to a standstill or even regress in his development if he is not helpful himself at the same time, since he is no longer subject to the law of compulsion and therefore has to push his own higher development forward …. As soon as he does everything consciously, always with the intention of helping his fellow human being, his earthly work can derive inconceivable blessings for his soul …. even if he has no idea about the spirits’ process of development, even if he is without all knowledge about the meaning and purpose of earthly life and the creations of this Earth …. He does not need to know it if only he voluntarily helps with love …. Yet usually he is indeed impelled by love to work but only by the love for himself …. In that case his activity can also have a detrimental effect on his fellow human beings, for the less he considers his fellow human being the more his selfish love will be satisfied …. But selfish love also has an unfavourable effect on the works of creations which were assigned to the person’s field of activity, insofar as that the spirit’s development in such works of creation will often be prematurely interrupted for the sake of his own advantage, because selfish love contradicts divine order and thus the person’s conduct is also totally contradictory to divine order …. Even if such people knew the meaning and purpose of the creation and of earthly life they would not stop their wrong way of life and their actions against the divine order, because they are utterly controlled by selfish love and completely unapproachable by other ideas. And these humans enter the spiritual kingdom in an absolutely dreadful state, for they can no longer satisfy their selfish love like on earth, and the path to the right love, to love for their neighbour, is infinitely far away and often cannot be found at all ….
Hence, a person who only loves himself takes his love for matter along into the other world, and release from it is extremely difficult, for things he desired with all his senses constantly appear before his eyes which are acutely tempting to him only to instantly disappear when he wants to satisfy his cravings …. inciting his cravings even more, and these are dreadful torments which the soul has to suffer until it starts to fight its craving with the result that the temptations gradually weaken. People have no idea of the benefits they create for themselves in the beyond if they try to overcome matter while they are still on earth, if they become its master and not its slave …. The human being can make use of everything on earth for his advantage, for the purpose of all creations is to serve the human being as well as every creature …. because being of service signifies redemption for the bound spirits within …. Consequently, the human being himself contributes a lot towards this if he offers matter the opportunity to help, if he creates things for himself which fulfil a useful purpose, in which he can certainly take pleasure again as a gift from God, yet he should always remember the spiritual purpose of material things and not tie himself to it such that all his thoughts and intentions apply to the gain of material goods in order to create a comfortable life for himself and to descend increasingly lower than things which are far less developed than him …. which signifies spiritual regression for him …. The development must always be a progressive one, and the human being’s goal in earthly life is the complete release from the material shell, the rise above the latter, for then the soul will be able to leave the physical body as a free and unburdened being and soar into higher spheres …. Then it will not be held back by matter and forced to remain in earthly spheres although it no longer lives on earth …. You humans don’t know how grateful a soul is which can detach itself from these spheres, but take it for granted that that which you strive for on earth with all your senses is your biggest enemy …. For your bliss rests in freedom, but you remain enslaved for as long as matter still holds you captive, and it will hold you captive for as long as you are still governed by selfish love, as long as you don’t liberate yourselves through helpful love …. Only the one who is of service will be liberated …. And your existence as a human being constantly provides you with the opportunity to be of loving service ….
However, you have free will and, unlike in your preliminary stage of development, are not forced to be of service. Love must impel you to do so, and helpful love will only be practiced by a person who suppresses his selfish love, who does not want to take but to give. He will indeed learn to despise matter; he will detach himself from it and liberate himself completely …. His process of development on earth will be successfully concluded with the complete spiritualisation of his soul, which subsequently will be able to be active in the spiritual kingdom with an abundance of light and strength and in helpful love take care of those souls which still linger in slavery and darkness and require help in order to finally be able to also let go of their chains ….
Amen
