Serious admonition from God to His servants …. World affairs ….
B.D. 6505 from March 19th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
I address the following words to all My co-workers: The service for Me and My kingdom requires much love for Me and for the neighbour, for it will not be easy in the time to come. You will obviously be hindered by earthly influences as well as by spiritual conflicts you get into due to world events. And precisely then it is particularly necessary to join Me and take care of your fellow human beings who are in distress due to world events and who are completely helpless without faith. Then you must point out to them the One Who can help them and wants to help them …. Then you should only ever mention Me, and therefore you must first be so intimately united with Me that you are inwardly driven to speak on My behalf. I predict that you yourselves will weaken in view of what threatens you, but you can overcome this weakness through intimate union with Me. Then do not let yourselves be pushed away from Me by world affairs …. I seriously address this admonition to you, for you can only be strong and fulfil your task in union with Me: …. to also transfer your strength to your fellow human being whom you can help to believe and thereby also ease his situation. Love for Me and love for your neighbour will carry you through all difficulties, and the more you become immersed in My word, the more your senses are directed spiritually, the less you will be affected by all earthly experiences and the stronger will be your support for Me and My kingdom …. I alone am the point of rest, all strength comes from Me alone, and I alone can also direct the earthly events around you in such a manner that you will remain less affected by them, but this presupposes intimate union with Me, otherwise My radiation of love will remain ineffective because you shut your hearts to it the more you are captivated by the earthly world, the more you distance yourselves from spirituality. For there will be great confusion amongst people and all thoughts will only be preoccupied with world affairs, and then there is the danger that the spiritual bond will be interrupted, that the world will stand between Me and you and that it will then take you captive …. Whatever may come, do not let yourselves be frightened but always feel safe in My love …. stick to Me so that I can always be present to you, and you will then be protected from all adversity. As soon as you loosen your bond with Me you will be in danger …. Therefore, I earnestly admonish you to always carry Me in your heart and to strengthen the bond through loving activity towards your neighbour …. Always consider yourselves My supports in the last time before the end, whose cooperation I need but which can only be achieved in union with Me …. And only ever look at world events from the point of view that everything has to happen in order to carry out the last purification on this earth, that nothing happens without My will or My permission …. but only those people will emerge unscathed who do not relinquish their spiritual bond with Me …. who do not see any danger for themselves even in the most exciting world events because they are completely devoted to Me and therefore also enjoy My fatherly protection. I urgently admonish you, My servants on earth, to only draw all strength for earthly life from Me, not to start anything without having requested My support, My blessing, and to trustingly hand yourselves over to My guidance. Only the intimate bond with Me can strengthen you in the time to come, and only love for Me and for your neighbour will lift you above all oppression that will still come upon the earth through human will …. These are the storms which will still roar over the earth before the end but which cannot knock you down as long as you remain united with Me through love and prayer ….
Amen

Faith without love is dead ….
B.D. 6506 from March 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Living faith alone opens the kingdom of heaven for you …. And only a few people have this living faith, because it requires a life of love. You first must understand the term ‘faith’: You can certainly affirm a doctrine in order not to contradict it, you can even inwardly believe this doctrine to be possible, but the firm conviction is not yet within you, and then it is not a living faith either, the faith which helps you to be saved …. And thus faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation can only be addressed as ‘faith’ when the human being is inwardly fully convinced that God Himself came to earth in Jesus in order to suffer and die for people, in order to redeem people’s sinfulness, thus to redeem them …. And this inner conviction will only be in the human being when love is also in him …. when he shows love towards God and the human being, thus having awakened faith within himself through this love. Precisely this difference between a living faith and a formal faith is so tremendously important because Jesus Christ Himself said: “He who believes in Me shall live for ever…” With these words, however, He never meant a shallow formal faith, the acceptance of a teaching without contradiction, but also without inner conviction. For the right faith in Jesus Christ brings about a change in the way of life, a self-transformation into love, and love brightens the spirit which now gives the human being such a clear knowledge about the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ that no doubt, no indifference, and no dead faith will find room in him anymore, but everything will gain life and a relationship will be established between the human being and the divine Saviour and Father from eternity which will also guarantee entry into the kingdom of light after the body’s passing away …. A dead faith can never replace love, which alone is valued in the spiritual kingdom …. And thus no person can acquire the kingdom of heaven who lacks love either. When Jesus Christ promises life to people who believe in Him, He presupposes love, which is what makes faith come to life in the first place, for Jesus did not speak of a dead faith, because all His words were only truth and life and His words never concealed a false meaning …. a meaning which people made up for themselves as it suited them …. Jesus spoke only of living faith …. But what people often call by the word ‘faith’ are rather empty phrases, they are acquired terms, ceremonies that have become a habit, which Jesus Christ does not allow to suffice Himself in order to make people happy with eternal life …. Yet it is already a considerable advantage for the soul if it is not an opponent of Jesus Christ, if it did not openly reject Him on earth, for then its thoughts can at least be directed towards the One Who can open the gates for it if it turns to Him in complete trust …. even though it can take endless periods of time until it sends this living call to Him …. But it will only attain ‘life’ in the kingdom of the beyond through loving activity, which it can then exercise on unhappy souls who, like itself, are dead in spirit. A life in the spiritual kingdom requires love, and where love is already practised on earth faith in Jesus Christ is also a living one, and this faith is therefore the guarantee for ‘life in eternity’ …. as Jesus Himself promised ….
Amen

Vital energy …. Love power ….
B.D. 6507 from March 21st 1956, taken from Book No. 70
It is a law that cannot be overturned eternally, that love is the power which brings everything into being, sustains everything and always has a constructive and beneficial effect …. just as, conversely, a lack of love always leads to a state of death, to the dissolution and degradation of spiritual abilities, and a chaotic state is the result …. Where progress is to be recorded, be it in nature or spiritually, love must always be at work, for without strength there is no emergence and existence, without strength there is no ascent …. And the power is and always remains only love. However, this only ever refers to everything that is spiritually significant, but which also includes the entire material creation …. The vital energy which is available to every human being for the duration of his earthly life is also sufficient for earthly construction, for earthly progress …. This vital energy can also be used without love. But then it will only ever create transient values, it will strive for transient goals and, as it were, be wasted completely uselessly, for it is given to the human being so that he may perform works of love and thereby acquire spiritual strength: …. this very power of love which is able to create the unimaginable. But the human being does not value and use the power of love and therefore does not acquire it either, whereas he often tries to use the vital energy excessively by ruining his body in order to gain treasures which are completely worthless for his soul but which are misjudged by the body …. The power of love alone masters everything and accomplishes everything, for it is of divine origin …. Everything God created came into being from His power of love. And you humans once possessed the same power when you emerged from His hand as spiritual beings. However, you voluntarily relinquished this power, you no longer embraced it when you voluntarily parted with God. But you can take possession of it again at any time, only your will must be willing to do so. And you declare this willingness through conscious activity of love …. Then you will make use of the power of love from God again, then it will flow through you as it once did, and then you will also be able to work what seems impossible. But then there can be no more decay, then there can be no more disorder, then only constant building up and progress is recognizable, then your being is again as it once was: divine, i.e. full of love power …. Your vitality, on the other hand, constantly decreases as you approach the end of your body …. This decrease, however, is completely insignificant if you have utilised it for constant love activity, for then you are filled with love power which is capable of far more than just vital energy …. This is why you can do nothing better on earth than to only ever carry out works of love and enrich your strength, and then you will be truly wise …. you use the ‘pound’ you have been given, you are faithful stewards of the good …. of your vital energy …. by acquiring spiritual possessions with it. Where love is disregarded there is barren land, nothing can flourish there because the all-animating power is missing. But you humans only ever look at the earthly achievements which are apparent to you …. and you do not know how spiritually barren you are if you do not allow the power of love to work in you, if you only do what you use your vital energy for …. They are only formations in the air which you make arise with this strength without love, which perish with the death of the body and leave you in a barren region devoid of all life …. whereas a loving human being can create the most wonderful regions for himself which are everlasting because the power of love makes them arise, which knows no limitation, to which everything is possible because it is the original vital force which has its origin in God Himself, Who is love in Himself ….
Amen

Surrender to Jesus …. Saviour and Physician …. Redeemer ….
B.D. 6508 from March 22nd 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Your burden of sin due to your past apostasy from Me has turned you into imperfect and therefore unhappy beings which can only be completely happy again when they are released from their great guilt of sin, when they have atoned it themselves as far as it was possible during the time prior to their embodiment, and when they subsequently allow themselves to be redeemed by Jesus Christ, that I therefore can erase all guilt because they have handed themselves over to the divine Redeem Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself on earth …. For then they will return to Me again, from Whom they once had distanced themselves …. Then they will voluntarily acknowledge Me as their God and Father of eternity …. And then they will also be infinitely happy as they were in the beginning …. Hence I require you to surrender to Jesus Christ, for your dedication to Him also demonstrates your will to return to Me. But do you humans serious about taking refuge under the cross and receiving forgiveness for your sins? Are you approaching Him, Who is your Saviour, your Redeemer and your Brother, with absolute faith? Do you in all honesty want to make use of His grace which He had acquired for you on the cross? Do you speak words in spirit and in truth? Or are they just empty phrases when you profess Him?
He is truly your Saviour and Physician, He is the Redeemer from sin and death, He is the vessel which carried Me, and thus His might and strength was limitless …. And this man Jesus is and will remain the Eternal Deity, for I chose Him to enable Me becoming a visible God for you since I Am but Spirit from everlasting to everlasting. And if you call upon Him you call upon Me …. And I listen and will grant your request, since I gave you the promise through Jesus Christ ‘Whatever you will ask in My name, that will I do ….’ Trust these Words with complete faith and don’t hesitate to commend yourselves to your Saviour and Redeemer, so that I can give you the evidence that I will keep My Word …. You must always remember that I give you the occasion for every prayer in spirit and in truth Myself, that I want you to come to Me in every adversity of body and soul …. And thus take this step to Me, consider My Words, let them penetrate them deeply into your heart and believe without doubt, for My promises are truth, but you determine their fulfilment yourselves.
I carried all your sins on your behalf, I took upon Myself all suffering and adversity which you would have had to carry as penance for your original sin …. And every person’s life can be free of worry and suffering if he hands his sin over to Me Myself, that I might also have carried his guilt on his behalf. Yet he must pray with absolute faith, he must know that I don’t want people to suffer …. but that I cannot avert his suffering contrary to My eternal order if his faith is still so feeble that his call won’t reach My ear, if he still doubts My love or My might …. I can help all people and want to help all people. And if your faith is a living one then make use of My assurance and hand yourselves over to Me …. You first requirement is a living faith in My act of Salvation, you have to be convinced that I have carried all your sins, that I have taken all your suffering upon Myself and died on the cross so that you can be free of them. Only then will all your doubt disappear, only then will you entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith, and only then can I take your suffering from you and redeem you from sin and death. For only then will you have accomplished your return to Me, only then will you acknowledge Me in spirit and in truth ….
Amen

The soul, a miniature creation …. Retrospection ….
B.D. 6509 from March 24th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
The world carries countless living creations which are all on the path of ascent and need the most diverse creations which suit their state of maturity …. Hence the earthly-material creations are the abode of untold soul-substances which belong to a once fallen original spirit but which exists in such a variety of external forms that effectively every work of creation carries a tiny particle of a once fallen original soul and which will come together again one day …. but then this original soul incorporates everything that exists in the whole of creation. In the final stage of its developing process this original soul embodies itself in a human being, in the earthly external form which is suitable to enable the soul to pass its final test of will, in order to then enter into the spiritual realm as a spirit of light again and to be inconceivably happy in its original state full of light and strength …. However, since the soul carries all creatures within itself it is, in its state of perfection, naturally also interested in all these creations, because it now has recollection and can experience its process of development retrospectively and assist the still struggling spiritual substances within the same forms to release themselves by fulfilling the divine will, because these spiritual substances accomplish their assigned activity in the law of compulsion. The perfect soul is extraordinarily happy in the contemplation of its countless components, because it beholds the entire creation and can, in a manner of speaking, participate in its emergence and preservation. However, it takes an infinitely long time until an original soul has attained this perfection and yet, it is aware of its countless previous forms, and in the process of contemplating itself it is filled by inconceivable bliss of knowing itself as a creator of countless forms, which it is allowed to recreate after the image within itself in order to help the still unredeemed tiny particles of other original souls take the path of ascent …. In order to be able to perform this creative activity it has to be brightly enlightened and receive unlimited strength, but the bliss of creating in conformity with divine will stirs a perfected soul into constant activity, and God assigns this task to such souls in order to make them happy. However, it always has to have within itself whatever it intends to create …. The immense number of fallen original spirits will still need earthly and spiritual creations for eternities, and the will to help all these fallen spirits attain beatitude delights every perfect being and inspires it to such versatile activity as works of creations exist …. because everything that exists in the universe is also present in every soul. Therefore it cannot but keep looking back at the individual phases of development, in order to then, with ever increasing happiness, be creatively active. And what once had been agonising and insufferable is now recognised by the soul to be beneficial and necessary, and although it now places immature spiritual substances into such creations it does so with profound love for God and the still unredeemed original spirit, looking after the individual tiny particles with untiring patience and love and guiding them step by step on the path of ascent ….
This is God’s plan in which perfect beings participate …. No being evades this task because every being is permeated by love for God and the still unredeemed spirits and because love always wants to confer pleasure, to the still unredeemed as well as to God, Whose beatitude rests in the return of all spirits to Him …. Nevertheless, it will take eternities and time and again new creations. And all these creations are God’s will implemented by the beings of light which are able to do so because they know everything, because every being of light is a perfected creation, because all of God’s ideas are present in every enlightened soul …. and because in its God-inclined will it is also capable of being creative thanks to the abundant strength at its disposal. Countless celestial worlds are thus creatively supported by the beings of light to whom these worlds are entrusted, but always according to divine will, on account of which different life forms exist on every work of creation, depending on the spirits’ degree of maturity, but nothing exists in the whole of Creation which is not present within a perfected soul. And thus the human being is in fact already a miniature creation of the great universal man; it is a matchless wonder for a soul with spiritual vision, which will never cease contemplating itself …. Therefore it will also constantly work and create in eternity, because it is inspired by the forms it beholds within itself to create them again in order to animate them with the countless tiny particles which still need to be redeemed …. However, this redemptive work can only be accomplished by a perfect being, but it is so incomparably enjoyable that for this reason alone a complete redemption of all once fallen spirits will take place, because the further the process of redemption advances the more souls will carry out this redemptive work. Even so, it will still take eternities …. which is explained by the number of fallen original spirits and their often infinitely long time of resistance, since time and again free will is the decisive factor, which must not be forgotten. However, for the blessed beings time is no longer of the essence, with the Lord a thousand years are as one day …. it is only an infinitely long time for the imperfect spiritual being, but even this soul will reach the state of light and beatitude one day …. And then the retrospection of its path of development will only be a wonderful surprise, an admiration of all that which the soul had to go through …. Then it will no longer know suffering and agony but only praise and gratitude for the might and love and glory of God, its Creator and Father of eternity ….
Amen

Voluntary surrender to God is His desire ….
B.D. 6510 from March 25th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Everything will be a blessing for you if you submit to My will and desire My blessing …. Then you will be unable to do anything but what is right, because now My will is also in you as soon as you have voluntarily handed yourselves over to Me …. And now you will also understand why I demand a close bond between you and Me, otherwise this heartfelt devotion cannot take place, which is now the guarantee for right thinking and right wanting and acting …. Anyone who has found the path to Me need no longer be afraid of getting lost, for he will now always be accompanied by forces of light which I Myself have allowed to guide and protect you against all attacks, to which you will indeed always be exposed because My adversary will not give up fighting for you until death …. But you are now in safe protection, for anyone who has handed himself over to Me I will never let fall into his hands again. You humans do not know how rich you are who voluntarily hand yourselves over to Me …. for you have won My love which, although it always and forever is to every one of My living creations, can now really take effect on you through your voluntary surrender, which, admittedly, only your soul actually feels, for it feels the power flowing towards it, it unfolds and matures, it pushes ever more towards Me and can now be eternally assured of My presence …. For My love also kindles a bright flame of love in it, and then the union can really take place which cannot be loosened anymore. If only all of you humans would want to unite with Me in convinced faith in Me …. if only you would voluntarily take the path to Me, have a heartfelt conversation with Me in your thoughts and then willingly hand yourselves over to the God and Creator you have recognised, so that He will guide your further earthly path according to His will …. You have no idea what you can gain by this …. For this is already the passed test of will that you voluntarily turn to Me again, from Whom you once turned away. Many people certainly acknowledge Me as God and Creator from eternity but they are still so far away from Me and make no attempt to approach Me …. They may fear Me but they do not love Me and therefore do not entrust themselves to Me either. First the great distance from Me must be reduced, it must be bridged, the creature must come close to Me or at least have the will to be closer to Me …. One day it must enter into living contact with Me and it will never ever have to regret this, for only then I Myself can work on it if it voluntarily turns to Me for help, guidance, or enlightenment …. For I will truly hear such requests …. But I cannot work on people who are still completely indifferent towards Me, even though they believe that there is a God Who is the Creator and Sustainer of all things …. This God wants to be a Father to His children, He wants to possess their love, their trust, and their will in order to then definitely lead them and draw them to Himself, to the true home, to the Father’s house. Only when the inner surrender to Me has taken place does the human being live his earthly life consciously, and he can live it in firm belief that he will reach his goal, for I now guide his ways, I direct his thoughts right, I urge him to be lovingly active and constantly provide him with strength. And then he will unite with Me ever more intimately and can travel his path of life in the certainty that he will be accompanied everywhere by My beings of light which I Myself provide for his protection. I do not ask for much, but what I do ask for is indispensable: voluntary surrender to Me …. which, however, will certainly bring the human being maturity of his soul, because then My blessing will rest on everything he starts ….
Amen

Knocking at the door of the heart …. Love condition for acceptance ….
B.D. 6511 from March 27th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
All gates will open to you where love is at home, you will always find entrance where My spirit rules, for there the Father’s voice will be recognised and joyfully listened to. It is only a small circle …. measured against the myriad of people …. where I can enter when I have knocked on the doors …. There are not many who hear this soft knocking at their heart’s door and are immediately prepared to open it to receive Me. But wherever I enter I spread blessings and inner peace, and no-one will want to miss Me who has once caught the ray of My light of love …. who has once heard My address …. He only ever feels at ease in My presence, and once the world comes between him and Me in a disruptive way, then he will feel this as discomfort, and he will not rest until he is in My fellowship again, until he is together with brothers and sisters again in order to also know Me Myself in the midst of them in accordance with My promise …. All of these desire My word, and they will also willingly open the doors if you want to bring it to them. Even if the doors often remain closed to you, even if you often meet with resistance, even if you are ridiculed because of your activity for the spiritual kingdom …. You should not be disturbed by this and try to please the few who listen to you. For true life awakens there and this life spreads even if you cannot observe it. They are incomparable sources of strength which open up wherever My word can be heard, and the power of the word does not remain ineffective while dead, barren territory is around you, although with regard to earthly matters a blossoming can be recorded. They are and remain two worlds which differ completely …. But I have placed you in My world, in the world of the spirit, which is the only truth …. And in this world you should work, i.e. try to spread the spiritual kingdom and lure people from the earthly kingdom into your circle …. Time and again you will find some because there are people in all circles who are willing to love, and because these will also follow you …. But you will only be listened to where love is. Nevertheless, others must hear the teaching of love as well, and it is never detrimental if love is repeatedly emphasised first, if people are found who preach love eagerly, regardless of how their speeches are received …. For even the greatest sinner must be admonished in order to refrain from his sin …. the most unloving person must be inspired to love in order to do a bit of soul-searching …. All doors must be knocked on …. An attempt must be made to awaken life, which is only possible through the supply of My word. Therefore rejoice when you are accepted as bearers of My word and do not be offended when you are rejected, but do not tire in your work for Me and My kingdom, for sparks of love glimmer everywhere which you can cause to flare up …. I Myself knock at the doors of the heart everywhere, and time and again a heart is found which opens itself to Me, which is delighted when I speak to it and is increasingly more inflamed by hot love for the One Who gives life. And I will bless you if you remember these people who are still languishing in death, if you endeavour to awaken them to life …. if you are faithful labourers in My vineyard and only ever carry out what your heart urges you to do …. for you have received Me into your heart and so now I can speak to you and through you to those who shall awaken to life ….
Amen

Way to the cross over Golgotha ….
B.D. 6512 from March 29th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
The way to the cross must be walked irrevocably, for it alone leads you to the gate of everlasting life …. The way to the cross is the way of love and suffering …. it is the way to Jesus Christ, it is the way to Golgotha …. Jesus Christ Himself walked it for you, yet you must follow Him and take upon yourselves everything that is given to you …. But if you seriously want to take the path to the cross, to Him, the divine Redeemer, then He will surely walk by your side, for He takes everyone who wants to come to Him by the hand and helps him if he weakens. You must take the path via Golgotha if you want to reach the gate of everlasting life. You must visualise all the sufferings and pains of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and tell yourselves that He bore them for you …. You must, as it were, accompany Him in thought on this path and stay with Him until the hour of His death …. His suffering must be your suffering, so that it strikes your heart and causes the love in you to flare up into bright embers …. You must want to suffer with Him in the knowledge that it is your sins for which He suffered and died on the cross …. And thus you will also participate in His act of Salvation and become living confessors of His name. No one can attain everlasting life who does not tackle with this greatest spiritual experience, with a deed that is unparalleled …. No-one can be redeemed who has not yet mentally experienced the act of Salvation himself, who has not once taken the path to the cross in order to now quietly join Jesus on the way to the cross and stay with Him until His death …. Time and again you humans must call to mind this process, and your love for Him, Who suffered and died for you on the cross, will become ever deeper …. Walking this way to the cross to Him and with Him is indispensable, for only then will you enter into the great mystery of God’s incarnation and His act of Salvation; only then will you realise what the man Jesus has done for you, and only then will you become true followers of Jesus, because you are urged by love for Him, because you no longer want to leave His side, because then you will also be willing to bear the greatest suffering in order to participate in His act of Salvation …. The events of Jesus’ crucifixion must not just remain words for you, you must make them come alive in you, you must immerse in the immense suffering He bore and therefore often take the path to the cross in your thoughts …. And the cross will become a shining one for you which points to the gate of everlasting life. Only then will you be able to represent His name vividly, only then will you be able to speak of ‘redemption’ yourselves, only then will your soul be touched by the divine Redeemer’s greater than great love, but then it will never ever let go of Him, (29.3.1956) and then it will be able to enter the kingdom of light at His side after its earthly demise, because its path led via Golgotha. And it will be granted indescribable bliss, for it has now awakened to true life, it has conquered death thanks to Him Who died for it …. Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation is of such a great significance that His death on the cross must be remembered time and again and with all fervour, that the human being should time and again visualise His life and death in order to penetrate into the mystery of His act of love, for the more he becomes aware of Jesus’ act of love…, the more his love for Him flares up, and love now pushes him to the cross of its own accord, love also takes upon itself the suffering of a walk to the cross, love is prepared for anything in order to utilise Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and, as it were, to take part in it itself, for love sacrifices itself ….
Amen

Atonement of guilt through Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6513 from March 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Taking humanity’s suffering upon Myself was indescribably difficult …. There was not one bad deed which did not have to have an effect on people, and you would have had to suffer immeasurably if you yourselves had had to remove every sin weighing heavily on you. The sin of the former rebellion against God was so immense by itself that you would have been unable to atone for it, neither in your constrained nor in the human state …. For this reason I took all your guilt upon Myself, I collected the result of every evil deed and burdened My human body with it, which then atoned for your guilt by suffering an extremely painful death on the cross …. I was moved by My love to help you …. And all the spirits of light, all first created entities who remained loyal to Me, were filled by the same love for you …. Love, however, will never let anything go astray, love will not leave anything in darkness, distress and agony …. Love offered Itself for the deliverance, for the redemption of the immense guilt …. Love Itself descended to earth in an entity filled with light and love …. But the forthcoming events on earth had to take place in a human form; Love had to take on a human garment, I had to embody Myself in the flesh and therefore took abode in the human being Jesus, Who was nevertheless so pure and without sin that I was able to manifest Myself in Him …. And this human being Jesus made
Amends for your guilt, Jesus the man took humanity’s enormous burden of sin upon his shoulders and walked with it to the cross ….
Even if the inhuman suffering were described to you many times, you would be unable to comprehend its profundity because your nature’s imperfection would prevent it …. His suffering was incomparably severe, and He knew of this well in advance since He was filled by My spirit, because I Myself had taken abode in Him. Consequently He knew everything, He knew about His mission as well as His crucifixion. His soul trembled and shook because He was a human being, and although the Divinity He had achieved due to His love certainly gave Him strength, it did not diminish the extent of suffering …. A human being walked to the cross Who wanted to suffer on behalf of His fellow human beings in order to help them. Because this human being knew about the immense suffering of those who were held captive in the abyss by My adversary …. Jesus knew that a sacrifice had to be made in order to purchase the souls from this opponent …. He knew that the immense guilt of sin had to be atoned for to satisfy the Father’s justice, Who could not admit any child burdened by guilt into the parental home …. He wanted to return My children to Me, He wanted to pay the purchase price for the souls …. And since the guilt was enormous, the sacrifice also had to be exceptionally momentous ….
And for this reason Jesus the man knowingly accepted the suffering, for this reason He allowed what was done to Him and what no other human being except Him could have endured …. He consciously walked the path to the cross and suffered indescribable torment which ultimately ended with a most painful death on the cross …. You humans are still unable to appreciate the magnitude of this act of compassion but you should always remember that He was completely innocent and suffered on behalf of you, who could never have returned to the Father from the abyss without His act of Salvation …. I Myself was within Jesus the human being, He was full of love because He could never have done this task without it. However, I had to remain silent during the most painful hours of His path of suffering because a human being had to suffer and die, since the Divinity within Him could not suffer, but according to divine justice the Divinity within Him could not redeem any guilt without atonement either …. One day you will be able to understand the full depth of what is still inconceivable to you, and then you, too, will be able to participate in this greatest act of mercy. Due to His human existence Jesus the man lived in your realm and His soul, having descended from the kingdom of light, suffered terribly because it had looked into the deepest darkness and was besieged by the forces of hell …. Thus Jesus the human being not only suffered physically but endured the most intense torments of soul which increased His suffering a thousand fold …. However, He brought you humans salvation from sin and death ….
Amen

Resurrection into life ….
B.D. 6514 from March 31th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
People shall arise from the dead into life …. They shall emerge from their graves and ascend to the light, they shall escape death and then become capable of being powerfully active, i.e., ‘of living’ …. I died on the cross for you humans and with My resurrection on the third day gave you the evidence that I had overcome death, that there need not be eternal death, that you therefore can also arise from the dead into eternal life if you live your earthly life like Me, if you live a life of love …. Then you will defeat the one who brought death into the world, then you will constantly draw God’s strength of love to yourselves and no longer experience a state in which you lack strength and light, then the body can perish and the soul will step out of its shell into radiant light, it will arise from its grave and live forever …. I walked a bitter path of suffering on earth and was often afflicted by fear that I might fail, for I knew about My mission which made Me descend to earth as the spirit of an angel …. The human shell weighed heavily upon Me and often caused Me to doubt the power of My will and My strength …. The human shell made me fearful and disheartened, nor was I spared inner conflicts and suffering, even before I already suffered unspeakably as a result of these occasionally emerging fears that I might not be able to cope with My mission …. Yet My love for My fellow human beings grew and so did the strength. I knew that I had to struggle as a human being and had to be victorious were I to help people become free from the adversary’s control since I, after all, expect them to take the same path so that they will be able to arise from the dead into life, but that they would never have been able to take the path of a God in their encumbering sinful nature ….
Therefore I was indeed without sin, i.e., My soul came from above, but My body was of the same substance as that of My fellow human beings and thus I also had to fight against all cravings, weaknesses and oppressing states for which there was only one antidote: love …. For this reason you humans can likewise emerge as victors from this earthly life, if you live a life of love like Me, for love is the strength which achieves everything, which cannot be resisted by anything …. And I demonstrated this strength to you by My resurrection on the third day …. My soul emerged from the tomb and took all spiritualised substances of the body along …. which is a process every soul goes through, only that this process, because it is purely spiritual, cannot be seen by people on earth …. this is why I Myself let this resurrection proceed visibly in order to provide you humans with the evidence of a resurrection into eternal life after death. Therefore no person needs to fear his body’s death, for only the shell passes away but the essence continues to exist …. The soul escapes from the body and enters into eternal life, providing it takes the path of following Me, the path of love …. My resurrection on the third day was the crowning glory of My act of love and mercy on earth which was indeed tremendously difficult for Me as a human being, but the human part of Me had thereby achieved complete unity with the Divine …. which is everyone’s goal in earthly life but which you would never have been able to achieve without My help. I exemplified the right kind of life for you and …. because you were too weak to implement it …. through My crucifixion acquired for you the blessings for strengthening your will, of which all of you can avail yourselves in order to reach your goal with certainty …. You need not fear death, for you will arise again just as I arose on the third day …. And you will be able to enter a life of glory, yet you must have the will …. otherwise the night of death can still keep you captive for a long time …. Your Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ, however, will lift you out of your graves as soon as you call upon Him ….
Amen

Attaining childship to God …. Opportunities for maturation ….
B.D. 6515 from April 3rd 1956, taken from Book No. 70
You cannot prolong your life by one hour when your time has come to pass away from this earth, nor can you arbitrarily return to earth again, you must accept it as a certainty that your earthly life is finally concluded with the hour of your death …. What follows will take place in a kingdom which is not of this world, even if your soul has to take abode again in creations of a lower kind …. if its state does not allow it to stay in spheres of light which no longer require any material creations. But you always dwell beyond this earth, only as long as you are earthbound, i.e., with great longing for this earth you feel repeatedly drawn back to the places of your former abode without being able to make contact with them. Thus your soul can gain through bodily death but it can also have to move to a more primitive abode than the earth was …. always according to the maturity it has achieved as a human being …. But it will never be transferred back to earth again unless there are very special occasions or preconditions which, however, must not be generalised. Earthly life now offers the soul so many opportunities that it can easily reach a degree of maturity which frees it from all oppression, all weakness and all darkness …. if only the human being makes use of these opportunities …. Then the soul truly emerges as an conqueror of death, death is only the last obstacle for it to a life in freedom, light, and strength. If it does not make use of these opportunities then a fetter will certainly fall, the earthly body will release the soul but it will nevertheless remain bound because it is destitute of light and strength and will now be transferred to where it has the opportunity to recognise its miserable state as well as to change this state, yet mostly under far more difficult circumstances than on earth. Then it has, as it were, gone backwards in its development, but through its own fault, in free will …. But there is always a path of ascent, for there are innumerable possibilities of maturing, and the whole of creation with its countless stars offers these opportunities. But the soul has forfeited an unheard-of opportunity, for on earth it was offered the only opportunity to attain the childship to God. You humans do not understand the full profundity of what this means, but the bliss of those who reach this goal is indescribable, and every person can reach the goal if he wants to …. But even the best will is of no use to the soul if it failed on earth and now still takes the path upwards elsewhere …. this goal is unattainable for it. Nevertheless, it can likewise be saved, rise ever higher, for divine Fatherly love constantly draws each of His living creations and does not rest until the goal, the spiritualisation of every being, has been reached …. This knowledge is presented to people but only a few believe and take the transformation of their being seriously …. only a few reach the goal in earthly life, and only a few can leave earth at their death and enter the kingdom of light as fully spiritualised. And yet all people have this possibility …. But they lack love, and without love there is no progress, without love there is no light, no realisation …. Without love they also lack the right direction of will and the strength to carry it out. But people must move on earth in complete freedom of will, and they can only ever be taught. And therefore, as long as earth exists, God’s love will not slacken in teaching, admonishing, and warning them through His word …. He will do everything that can move people into the right direction of will, He will spare no grace, and time and again preach love, but He will never induce a person to do what he must do in all freedom of will …. The human being alone determines the fate of his soul after his death ….
Amen

Hunger for the world …. Revival …. Lightbearers ….
B.D. 6516 from April 5th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
The world will not take any notice of what is happening spiritually, i.e. the worldly-minded people will hardly pay any attention to the revivals of those who find life through Jesus Christ …. They will not pay attention to the signs and miracles which are the obvious working of the divine spirit, nor will they feel in the least impressed by them when they hear of them …. The world stands opposed to the spiritual, and whoever walks on one path rarely only dares to jump onto the other path because it seems impassable to him. The more obvious the working of the spirit becomes, because the end is at hand, the more the world will come forward with its seductive arts, for this too is a manifestation of the end, that hunger for the world and addiction to satisfaction will become ever stronger …. that people will perish in the frenzy of indulgence …. And though on the other side, too, the miracles will increase, which could still shake up every man of the world, because they are incomprehensible …. They only evoke laughter and ridicule from those, and only very occasionally does a person let himself be impressed, and he does a bit of soul-searching. That is why the work of My servants is not easy either, and it often looks fruitless, but everything that is possible must still be done …. The time until the end must still be used in every way, for to only know that one soul is saved is incomparably blissful for the one who willingly works for Me, and to have only won one soul for Me makes Me happy because I love it and now know that it will be saved from further great suffering …. And My servants will find support through light bearers who will arise everywhere and work in My name and for My name …. Wherever Jesus Christ is proclaimed out of a loving, deeply believing heart, there the ‘power of God’ will also become apparent, for His name will work miracles where it is only spoken in deep faith. Faith in Him, in Whom I embodied Myself, will still reveal such obvious effects that people will still be touched by it and come to their senses after all …. For I grant mercy for justice …. I regard the apostates as pitiful, weak, sick souls whom I want to help and to whom I give, even against their will …. but leaving it up to them whether they accept and utilise My gifts. Their worldly attitude, their relationship with Me, is indeed a rejection of Me Myself, nevertheless I do not look upon this rejection and distribute My gifts of grace to them as well because the end is at hand and their salvation is My greatest concern …. I know how far unusual things are allowed to approach them without forcing their faith, I know that they can only be influenced with difficulty and I keep to the limits so as not to harm their souls, but what My love can still bestow upon them it will not refrain from doing. And you, My co-workers on earth, should also think like this. You should not slack, you should use every opportunity to accomplish a work of Salvation and always know that, in view of the approaching end, I will support every effort you make to help it succeed. I will grant all of you great strength so that it will be obvious that you work with support from on high …. My name shall be proclaimed and My spirit’s working shall be mentioned, My teaching of love shall be preached and held up as the most important thing …. and some little fish will still be caught in the net which My love has cast …. For I will give you My blessing if you work for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Loving help …. Free decision of the individual ….
B.D. 6517 from April 7th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Every human being must take responsibility for himself; his fellow human being cannot take over his responsibility, even if his love is ever so great. Each person must decide for himself and thus avow himself for or against God …. And this avowal must be a matter of the heart, not just an empty assurance of the mouth. And the heart will then also feel if and when the human being moves in truth. The human being will profess the truth just as he professes God …. He will not go astray, he will no longer be able to think wrong because God Himself, Whom he has recognised and professed, guides his thinking and draws him to Himself …. But an acknowledgement and profession of God is at the same time also the acknowledgement and profession of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, because a thinking which is now directed right by God also includes the understanding for the significance of the act of Salvation, because the human being now clearly understands all relations, and the incarnation of God in Jesus is fully comprehensible to him …. Whose heart professes God has decided freely and, as it were, already passed the test of will on earth …. which is the purpose of earthly life. For this reason, however, one person cannot make this decision for another, each person has to come to a conviction within himself and live his life in accordance with this conviction. And therefore the right knowledge cannot be transmitted in a school-like way either, only certain teachings can be imparted to the fellow human being which, however, he himself first has to mentally digest so that his heart will then be urged to make a decision. The disciples of Jesus were given the task of going into the world and teaching all peoples …. Only the Gospel could be brought to the people, but they themselves now had to make their will become active, they had to accept it and live according to it, only then would they decide …. And no-one can be relieved of this decision …. But love can intercessionally remember the fellow human being …. And love can do infinitely much. What intellectual explanations cannot achieve, love can achieve, which is meant for a weak, still unwilling person and his salvation. Through loving intercession strength can constantly flow to his soul which, although it does not determine his will, directs him more and more to where the power of love emanates …. to the original source of power, to eternal love Itself …. Love can achieve anything …. If the human being himself is active in love with complete unselfishness, then this also guarantees that his thinking will become clearer, that the human being himself will come to recognise the Deity in Jesus Christ. But if he lacks such unselfish love, then the fellow human being who is capable of love and willing to love can step in to help …. then his love can give strength to the former, for vicarious love is accepted by God, yet always passed on in a form which does not mean compulsion of will but strengthening of will. Nevertheless, the human being must make the free decision himself, it cannot be relieved of it …. The human being can be guided into right thinking through the supply of strength but still remain in defence according to his will or go up to God. However, the soul usually feels loving help and thereby softens and opens itself to right knowledge. This is why a person who is followed by loving thoughts, who receives loving spiritual help, is not lost, because loving intercession can achieve infinitely much …. And no human being would need to be lost on earth if people’s love for each other were stronger. Yet the free decision must be made by every person himself, it cannot be made vicariously, for this is the purpose of earthly life and the final test, the passing of which liberates him from all shackles ….

Last resort to save before the end ….
B.D. 6518 from April 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Your existence on this earth will not last much longer. You humans will no longer be able to enjoy many more days, for the destiny of the individual will come true, as will that of all humans …. Earthly existence will come to an end in not much longer time …. And this must also be an explanation for unusual events, for experiences of a peculiar kind and above all for obvious grants of grace which affect the individual person, which are intended to promote spiritual maturity or to facilitate the path to spirituality for completely earthly-minded people. The short period until the end necessitates unusual activity on the part of God and the world of light, for love seeks to help and save before it is too late. People cannot be spoken to directly, therefore they will be spoken to by fate, and they could easily pay attention to this address and follow it …. Time and again people will be able to make contact with God because He will constantly influence them in a way which, although very painful, will clearly show them the path to Him which they can now take but do not have to take. And it will be clearly revealed whether a grain of faith still lies hidden in the human being, which will now push forward, or whether a God is no longer thought of …. Every human being will somehow be touched and pushed to self-contemplation, which can only ever be achieved by strokes of fate which they, as human beings, cannot cope with. And again, hearts will harden even more and in a completely faithless manner deny everything divine-spiritual, but some will also awaken to life …. Every individual will be touched, but only a few successfully. Often such an obvious activity or intervention of spiritual forces will be recognisable so that people could easily find faith in God, yet their eyes are directed only in a worldly manner and therefore they will not accept anything other than worldly things, they do not want a bond with the spiritual kingdom and reject everything that could stimulate them into a change of will. And thus the end approaches with frightening haste …. And it will surprise everyone but find only a few prepared …. But people do not believe what is announced to them, they do not know what lies ahead and cannot be forced to think differently. But all of you should not be surprised that many things will still happen in the time to come which you now still consider impossible …. You should not be surprised that death will still stretch out its hand to many people in your surroundings because you should still be set thinking. Accidents and severe strokes of fate will increase and snatch people from the midst of life, and many of you will be affected by them or will have to take an interest in the fate of fellow human beings …. But everything shall only serve to shake you up, to lead you to self-contemplation, to unite with the One Who alone holds your destiny in His hands. If this is achieved then every adversity will have been a blessing, however painful it was for the individual, but you must always bear in mind that you do not have much time left, that the end will soon have come for all of you and that you should experience this end in a spiritually awakened state, that you at least have established the bond with God, that you can pray to Him in spirit and truth …. God wants to achieve nothing else, He aims at nothing else through the strokes of fate which will affect you humans in abundance because you are still far away from Him Who, however, wants to draw you to Himself …. The end is coming, and before this end He still wants to save all people who do not oppose Him ….

Earthly science and spiritual knowledge ….
B.D. 6519 from April 9th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Science will never be able to fathom what the spirit from God is able to explain effortlessly …. And likewise, the human being’s intellect will also not be able to measure up to the working of the spirit, i.e., those results which were gained intellectually cannot be compared to and put on a par with the knowledge which the spirit from God imparts to the human being. For intellect, although it also testifies to divine wisdom, is a physical function which ends with the death of the human being. The soul which escapes from the body will certainly still continue to think, feel and want, yet in its darkened, immature state it will no longer be able to grasp a clear thought and will only have very little or nothing to show of its intellectual wealth on earth …. always according to its state of maturity. However, knowledge gained through spiritual working on earth remains with the soul, for it has already attained a degree of light, otherwise the working of the divine spirit would not have been possible on earth. And this degree of light also signifies knowledge which it can constantly increase …. In the spiritual kingdom only spiritual knowledge has value, earthly knowledge, however, is worthless if the spiritual state is a lower one. The spiritual world, however, is nevertheless in contact with the earthly world and also seeks to guide earthly thinking right if it is approached by people for it. Then their intellect is certainly also active but through their requests for right thinking it now also moves in right thinking, because at the same time the spirit is active, which through the appeal also has the right to intervene without exerting compulsion on the will of the human being. Then the human being will always believe to have reached the right result through his own thoughts, that is, through intellectual activity, but he must know about the relations, about the conditions and prerequisites which guarantee right thinking, and he must know that the spirit must absolutely be working in him in order to give intellectual thinking the right direction. Such a person will also be able to transfer much of his earthly knowledge into the kingdom of the beyond and then, as likewise pervaded by light, also be able to mentally influence people on earth again if the same conditions are created, so that they entrust themselves to divine guidance …. that they therefore never undertake their earthly research as well without God, that they call upon Him that their work may succeed. A distinction must therefore be made between knowledge which only the intellect acquired on earth and knowledge where the invocation of God has permitted spiritual activity …. Then you humans will also know which beings in the beyond possess knowledge, no matter if it is of purely spiritual or earthly nature …. The fact that earthly knowledge is also fully transparent to the beings of light is beyond doubt, since a being of light possesses bright light, i.e. correct knowledge, about everything and also needs this knowledge in order to be able to help people on earth in their struggle for life. Immature beings, however …. even if they were also above-average thinkers as human beings …. can no longer find their way around, their thoughts become confused, and if they want to communicate with human beings of their affinity they will certainly be able to do so with the help of evil powers but they will always contradict the truth. They will only ever be able to influence the thoughts of people who are completely God-opposed themselves and believe that they can fathom everything with their intellect alone …. Every being will be granted what it desires …. Truth and true knowledge will be granted to those who approach God Himself for it, be it in spiritual or earthly direction …. and anyone who arrogantly considers himself capable of attaining knowledge without God’s help will remain in darkness. And the state of every soul in the kingdom of the beyond will be the same, where the light cannot shine, where the spirit from God could not express itself in earthly life, there it is and remains dark even in the spiritual kingdom …. But whoever has received the light can now also carry it into the darkness …. And happy the souls who receive it, who follow the sparks of light …. who now turn their thoughts to God …. who humbly call upon Him for light ….
Amen

Conveying the truth …. Exchange of light and power ….
B.D. 6520 from April 11th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
The paths you take should all lead to the same goal, and that is why they must come together at some point, even if they had completely different starting points. The shorter the path, the sooner the goal will be reached. But if you humans choose detours, it can also take a very long time until you reach the goal. Nevertheless, your will is decisive to strive for the right goal in the first place. And I can only ever tell you that the shortest path to the goal is the path of love for Me and for your neighbour …. for this path is brightly illuminated and therefore also recognisable as the right path. For My messengers walk before you, bearers of light, and in its bright beam you truly walk safely and cannot go astray. Now I send these messengers of light towards all those who do not feel comfortable on dark paths, who are afraid to take the wrong path and who, in this worry, turn to the Light from eternity so that It may send them a ray …. who thus desire light …. And these I lead on the shortest path to the goal. For the time being I make sparks of light fall into their hearts which will light up and express themselves through activity in unselfish neighbourly love, which now simultaneously proves love for Me, because the one of them must undeniably lead to the other …. But what is meant by the light that illuminates your path? …. The path of light is the path of truth …. If I am to illuminate you humans the path to the goal, to Me, then I have to convey the truth to you, I have to send messengers towards you who will instruct you in the truth. And I have to commission messengers of light and love, both on earth and in the kingdom of the beyond, who receive the truth from Me and distribute it again …. a process of incessant exchange of power and light in the spiritual and earthly kingdom …. a process which always and constantly takes place on an enormous scale and directs My light of love everywhere where it is not opposed. Countless beings of light are at My disposal, and many beings of light are also embodied on earth to make this exchange of light and strength possible, so that the light can shine into the profound darkness which is spread across the earth …. so that the truth, which alone is the path to eternal life, will be brought to the people who walk along in dark error and wrong thinking. It is My spirit which continuously effuses itself into infinity, which radiates through perfect beings and impels them into activity …. which pours into open hearts, which emanates from Me in a constant cycle in order to return to Me again in the beings which have achieved perfection …. It is the flow of love which fills the perfect spiritual beings with bliss, which urges them to pass it on again because love never remains inactive …. which is therefore directed to where this flow of love is desired and is caught, and thus remains in constant working and accomplishment …. It is the light of realisation which is kindled wherever light is desired, wherever a being calls upon Me Myself for truth …. And where this flow of love is received the path leading to Me must also be clearly recognisable and it must be possible to reach the goal in the shortest possible time, whereas badly lit or dark paths easily make it possible to go astray and deviate from the right path, and the human being only reaches the goal after detours if he nevertheless seriously strives for it …. Truth alone secures you humans access to Me, and to convey this truth to you is My everlasting concern, because I want you to walk the path on earth with ease and without qualms, to the eternal home, which you now recognise in the light of truth as the only right path to Me ….
Amen

Benefiting from the graces of the work of redemption ….
B.D. 6521 from April 12th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
The blessings of the act of Salvation are available to you humans, and no-one is excluded from it who does not exclude himself by consciously denying or rejecting the act of Salvation, by not acknowledging Jesus Christ as God’s Son and Redeemer of the world. So all of you can be saved through Him …. if this is your will. Salvation means living, being active in light and power …. Bliss is the state you were in before your apostasy from Me …. it is the state of perfection which, however, is now to be attained by you of your own free will, whereas in the original state you were created perfectly …. i.e., you were placed out of Me as beings to be independent. The attainment of perfection in free will has only become possible through your fall into the abyss and therefore brings you unimagined bliss because you have overcome this abyss and worked your way up …. But there is still no excuse for the Fall, your former turning away from Me …. because you stood in such a bright light that the fall into the abyss should not have happened, and even then you could have decided in favour of Me of your own free will in order to stay with Me in eternal bliss …. For this reason, however, the path from the abyss, from an infinite distance back to Me again, is extremely arduous, because the sin against Me was immeasurably great …. but the final return to Me is associated with immeasurable bliss if you attain the childship to God …. the highest degree of perfection …. through your life on earth. And you can achieve this precisely through the redemptive work of the man Jesus, Who acquired a treasure of grace for you through His death on the cross, of which you may avail yourselves without restriction. I Myself came to your aid on your way back to Me because My love for you is endless and wanted to win you back again after ages of turning away from Me …. Yet as long as you do not recognise Me Myself in the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, the graces of the act of Salvation will also remain ineffective on you, you will not recognise them for what they are …. You will not avail yourselves of them and therefore remain powerless and in a lightless state out of which I would like to help you but cannot do so against your will. You must ask for these graces for Jesus’ sake …. then you will acknowledge Him as the One in Whom I embodied, and then My help and your ascent and reaching of the goal will also be certain …. The human being alone, as a once fallen original spirit, is too weak because he is constantly held on by My adversary; if he turns to Me in Jesus Christ I can release him from the bondage and give him freedom, but without the call to Me I have to let My adversary have his right, since you once voluntarily followed him to the abyss and your will now also determines again whether you reach the height …. A rich treasure of grace is at your disposal …. Use it, avail yourselves of what the man Jesus acquired for you on the cross …. For He suffered and laid down His life to give you life …. He paid the debt which brought you death, a state of complete lightlessness and powerlessness …. And so you can now gain light and strength again if you accept His sacrifice, if you acknowledge Him and ask Him for help …. if you accept His grace, if you are willing to follow Him, Who has led the way upwards for you …. Then you too will attain eternal life and be filled with immeasurable bliss ….

Process of maturing …. Limited and unlimited bliss ….
B.D. 6522 from April 13th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
All of you will find your way back to Me and one day will be filled with unspeakable bliss …. You, who are already Mine through your will and your conscious striving towards Me, you can understand these words, for you know about My plan of Salvation, the plan of deification of the beings once created by Me …. But the words are incomprehensible to anyone who does not possess this knowledge, because they do not yet know and acknowledge Me Myself and therefore can never believe in a ‘return to Me’ …. And their path will still be infinitely long until the goal is reached. But I do not know time, for Me what you call a long time is a moment, and I see just as clearly what lies ahead of you in ages as what is happening in this time …. I therefore also know which paths all of you still have to take, I know in which period of time the return of each individual to Me will take place, and I am blissful to know My plan of deification of all beings to be purposeful and successful some day …. to be able to prepare a bliss for all My creatures which no human being can imagine …. But I cannot depart from the law of My eternal order …. I cannot prematurely bestow bliss upon My creations as long as they do not move within My order. And therefore countless beings will still have to go through a process of maturing which will extend over ages because they do not comply with the law of My order, because their will is directed differently and first must change before the process can be completed. This is why the spiritual substances which have not yet reached maturity will still need material creations for ages, and only when everything is completely spiritualised, thus when it has completely entered My eternal order, will these material creations be replaced by spiritual creations, and only then the ascending development will continue in these spiritual creations, because the striving upwards will never come to an end, because I Myself always and forever stand above all spiritual beings as beyond reach, but I am also always and forever striven for by them, and this constantly signifies increasing light and power flowing to the perfect being from Me. It is impossible for you humans with limited comprehension to be able to follow Me in this because …. as long as you are imperfect …. everything appears limited to you but perfection is unlimited …. and precisely this is the beings’ bliss, that they never stop striving towards Me, that they always feel My nearness more, that their desire is always fulfilled, but that they will also never stop longing for Me, and constant longing and constant fulfilment create unlimited bliss …. So one day all of you will reach this goal …. But as long as you are still wretched you will also be tormented by the endless time …. or, because this state is agonising, you will feel the duration of being far away from Me to be dreadfully long, and yet you can end this state of torment yourselves. Your free will will lead you to Me in a short time or it will also keep you separated from Me for ages. And therefore I convey the knowledge to you humans which should one day seriously prompt you to think about it, which should spur you on to enter into My will and eagerly strive for perfection, as far as this is possible on earth. What you humans cannot yet believe, consider it an illusion and give yourselves over to this illusion …. and soon you will realise that it only gives your life the right focal point, and the danger is over for you that you yourselves will prolong the period of time until your return to Me …. for soon you will also look at your earthly life with alert eyes and a clear mind, you will recognise truth as truth and now consciously work on yourselves, on your perfection …. you will even shorten the period of separation from Me because your will is now directed right ….
Amen

Right childlike relationship …. "If you do not become like children …. "
B.D. 6523 from April 16th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Unless you become like children, you cannot enter My Kingdom …. You should understand this right: A child fully trusts the Father, it listens to His words and does not doubt the truth of what it is told, it confidently awaits the promise, it believes everything the Father promises it, it believes everything He speaks to the child …. And I demand this faith from you, that you trust Me without any hesitation, that you accept My words as pure truth and make them your guiding principle in your way of life. But this should not mean that you blindly accept what is passed on to you from another side, then you should first check to see where these teachings or words originate from, for I only speak of the right childlike relationship which I want to see established in order to be able to speak to you as a Father. And therefore I say: ‘Become like children …. “You can believe your Father, and in order to hear Him thus you must first have established the right childlike relationship, and then you need not doubt or fear that you will be offered something which could harm you …. Therefore I have to demand faith from you because no evidence for spiritual teachings can be given to you. But I do not want you to believe everything that is presented to you as long as you are not sure that it originated from the Father, that it is in fact a good gift which He offers you because you are His children whom He loves …. But he who always opposes his intellect, who cannot muster a childlike faith, is like a wayward child who does not abide by what the Father says to him …. It does not matter to him who speaks to him, he will always believe that he can best judge for himself, and he is not in the right childlike relationship with Me and his thinking is endangered. You will not be able to fathom spiritual matters with your intellect, but your heavenly Father will give them to you if you turn to Him as children in the right way, and what He gives you you can accept as truth without any hesitation. Therefore, first ensure that you make contact with your Father; come to Me trustingly and approach Me Myself for it, feel towards Me like underage little children who hand themselves over and allow themselves to be given a gift by the Father …. And then take notice of the gift, value it as a gift of love through which the Father wants to please you, help you, and save you …. The undoubted faith of a child should serve as an example for all of you, however distinguished you are in earthly life …. Become like children …. Then you will also be protected like children from all dangers which threaten the soul when forces approach it which offer it harmful, impure food …. Let yourselves be fed by the Father alone, Who will truly give you what is best for your soul …. A childlike faith will lead you upwards safely, for I will not allow a child’s faith in Me to fail ….
Amen

Earthly work and toil before the end ….
B.D. 6524 from April 17th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Everything points to the end …. And no matter how hard you humans try to increase earthly prosperity, no matter how hard you work at building up earthly-material works, you only create for a short duration and nothing of what you created will last for long. For the time has come when an end is put to the earth with all its creations and all its inhabitants. And even if you humans want to dispute it again and again, even if your will and your thinking resist accepting it as truth …. You cannot destroy My plan, and as it has been determined since eternity, so everything will also come to pass. Nevertheless, I will not keep you humans from your work if only you do not allow this to become the purpose of your life but first think of your soul so that you do not make it suffer privations as a result of too eager material activity. For the day of the end is secret to you, you can still do much service for your fellow human beings; as soon as you ask for My blessing for this, every earthly activity can have a spiritual effect. Moreover, you can also help the still bound spiritual to be of service, and the more obvious the possibility of service becomes in the works you create, the more blessing will rest on it, because everything spiritual shall still mature before the end has come …. Yet in many cases people only use all their strength to increase mammon and make themselves its slaves, then they are obviously working for My adversary and on his behalf, then neither love nor the will to help fellow human beings is apparent, it is rather a case of taking advantage of fellow human beings and also often endangering their lives …. You humans should certainly not give yourselves over to idleness, you certainly should use your vitality and not let it lie idle, but you should always think of your actual purpose of life first, then nothing you undertake will become a danger for you …. But the end will come irrevocably …. Therefore, in everything you do, remember this serious admonition and warning of Mine, and do not chain yourselves too strongly to matter but seek to detach yourselves from it, even if you still have to work in the world …. Your innermost attitude will always be decisive as to whether you become master over matter or let yourselves be ruled by it. Considering the forthcoming end you should always give account to yourselves and practise strict self-criticism, you should not live as if everything will continue but always consider the imminent end …. but nevertheless be active. For if love determines your actions and thoughts, then all works which you make arise will be blessed by Me …. But where love is lacking, where purely earthly planning and activity takes place, My adversary’s places will be erected, even if it is apparently intended to serve people’s salvation …. Bear in mind that I can only bless what serves noble purposes and that I Myself am not deceived …. For only then can matter still mature, and the short period until the end can offer the spiritual substances contained in it an opportunity to take abode on the new earth in lighter external forms and to progress more quickly in their development. My plan has been fixed since eternity …. You, too, can plan, yet you should adapt to My will as far as possible and thus, as it were, still support everything spiritual and free yourselves from the desire for the world and its goods …. Then everything you undertake will be blessed, and the short period until the end will be used in My will ….
Amen

Spiritual working of love …. Need of the soul ….
B.D. 6525 from April 18th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
People lack clear knowledge, they walk along in confused thinking, they are unable to detect any relations, their thoughts move along wrong paths, they do not tell error from truth …. There is still no light in them because they have not yet escaped the darkness which has been their lot since their former apostasy from God …. when they became lightless through their own fault. But neither do people make an effort to attain clear realisation, although this is their actual task on earth. They do not feel their lightless state to be deficient, they content themselves with worthless knowledge, they are completely indifferent towards the truth and do not desire insight where they are completely ignorant. This is an obvious sign that they are still under the sway of the one who caused the spiritual darkness. It is a sign that their will is not directed upwards, otherwise a light would also shine to them from there. And people cannot be forced into a different attitude, they cannot be forcibly put into a state because free will must be respected. And therefore there is only one way to wrest people from this dark spiritual state …. a spiritual working of love, which alone promises success …. Those people are powerless as long as they have not yet kindled light within themselves …. But only love can kindle light …. If people lack love due to their affiliation with God’s adversary, then they will never be able to gain light and strength either …. And therefore strength must be given to them by those who already possess light and strength …. They must be remembered with love and their spiritual salvation must be desired with a loving heart …. Something must be offered in utmost patience and love which increases their knowledge, which gives them a small light …. Such a gift is usually rejected by those who are still completely blind in spirit. But the degree of love is decisive in which such a gift is offered to the fellow human being. All vineyard labourers should always bear in mind that love offers a certain guarantee for the success of their vineyard labour. The right servant knows about the spiritual need of the one who is still completely destitute of light, and this need must touch his heart and drive him to help him …. Then it is a work of unselfish neighbourly love, it is an act of mercy which will also not remain unsuccessful, for the soul feels this love and wakes up, it feels the darkness as torment and longs for light, and this desire alone now also ensures that it receives light. Just as you humans should not pass by your fellow human being’s earthly hardship, you should even more keep in mind the spiritual need which will have its effect in eternity …. And you should try to control this destitution and only ever think of the soul’s state with love and thus want to help the soul enter the light …. if the human being as such is unable to awaken love in his heart …. The soul is pitiful, it is as helpless as a child and …. when its physical shell leaves it destitute …. dependent on the help of its fellow human being who can now provide it with strength through love. You humans do not know what an enormous force love is …. And everything you undertake with love will succeed. And your love is like a bright light in the darkness which cannot be driven away by the darkness but which breaks through the darkness and brings illumination everywhere …. And anyone who gets into such a beam of light, for whom your love is intended in particular, will also inevitably step into the light, he will detach from his ignorant state and always become brighter in spirit, then love will have conquered the darkness ….
Amen

Battle of the dark forces against the truth ….
B.D. 6526 from April 19th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Where My flow of grace can flow abundantly to earth the battle between light and darkness will break out particularly fiercely, for multitudes will gather around the source where they can refresh themselves with the water of life, and likewise the forces of darkness will be driven there by My adversary in order to prevent life-awakening nourishment from being offered to the souls. For this reason you, who serve Me and accept My word from on high, will certainly feel resistance but far more strength will flow to you from the beings of light which shield you from those dark beings, which hinder them and are also able to do so because your will and also the will of the souls surrounding you gives them a right to do so …. Nevertheless, the dark forces do not slacken in their fight against the light, and they always find willing people who work on their behalf where they themselves get nowhere …. people they can influence to take sides against you, who are enemies of truth and seek to intersperse My pure word with error. They want to contaminate the pure spring water with poisonous additives on behalf of My adversary who gets a willing hearing from them and can therefore use them as his henchmen. But the bright beam of light reveals everything, and the serious will and the desire for truth is the safest protection against those forces. Therefore you should not be surprised if time and again your fellow human beings attack the pure truth from Me …. And countless souls are worried about your standing firm because they recognise every cloudiness and yet long for light …. And they are grateful when the ray of light becomes ever brighter around you, because every temptation passed strengthens the light around you, and now you are helped on all sides as soon as dark forces are on the advance again. The battle between light and darkness must be allowed, for it concerns the free decision of you and also of the souls in the kingdom of the beyond …. Nevertheless, so many graces are available to the willing that he can emerge victorious from this battle. And My adversary is enraged about this and seeks to achieve his goal through cunning. But no matter how cleverly and cunningly he disguises himself …. he can be recognised and will be recognised by all those who are serious about their souls’ salvation, about truth and about My love …. And therefore no-one needs to fear falling into his hands or not being able to cope with his attacks if it is only his will not to fall under his sway, for this will alone is enough for Me Myself to be with him and he is under safest protection. But prepare for ever stronger attacks from his side, for he, in his delusion, will not slacken to take action against Me and you, and he constantly lies in wait at the places where I have opened up the fountain of life for all those who come along the path hungry and thirsty …. He tries to deny access to all of them but he cannot prevent it because figures of light accompany the wanderers who long for the source of life …. But My adversary flees from the light, he does not dare to enter its glow …. But since My word is the light from on high, it cannot be extinguished or dimmed by him and his followers unless people themselves are of his mind and work for him …. But even then the light is still stronger than the darkness, and it exposes anyone who with evil intentions approaches the fountain of life, which I have opened up for all those who desire the light, Me and the truth ….
Amen

The adversary's attempts to slip in ….
B.D. 6527 from April 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Don’t let any kind of anxiety take hold of you, for this is the working of My adversary who will make use of all means to separate you from Me. Everything that gives you a feeling of being distant from Me is his work, but you can eliminate this yourselves by joining Me ever more closely. Believe Me, I will always be with you as long as your will applies to Me …. Believe Me that he will not be able to get anywhere and that all his efforts will be in vain because I Myself will render them ineffective …. Your anxiety is therefore entirely unfounded, he is, after all, not stronger than I Am, and I promise you My protection in every earthly and spiritual adversity. Nevertheless he will keep trying and you yourselves offer this opportunity to him as soon as he knows you to be weak and fearful. Whereas he will instantly slacken if you take refuge in Me with complete confidence in My help. I have often drawn your attention to the fact that he is lurking around you in order to avenge himself, to incapacitate your work for Me and My kingdom …. For this reason you must overcome your weakness and appeal to Me for strength and you will receive it …. Nevertheless, the decisive factor is your faith whose intensity can dispel him instantly but he makes use of its weakness for his own benefit. He will not be able to dominate you, since you belong to Me on account of your will, but he can still intimidate and pester you, and then you must fight him by taking refuge in Me and requesting My special protection, which he cannot bear up to. But neither will I prevent his course of action, after all, I want your faith to become increasingly stronger until the adversary finally finds no further target, until he must realise that his temptations are to no avail. You can truly be far stronger than him because you have an immeasurable amount of strength from Me at your disposal, but you must also recognise him, regardless in which shape he approaches you …. Everything that gives rise to unrest, everything which disruptively intrudes between yourselves and Me, which wants to prevent your work for Me and My kingdom …. every doubt, all fear and each lapse …. are My adversary’s methods, they are unmistakable efforts on his part to pull you down, to distance you from Me, to shake your faith and to extinguish the light from above. And he will not slacken, time and again he will try to slip in and wreak havoc …. But time and again I will also be willing to protect you, I will never leave you to him without a fight. You, however, can gain much and every temptation by him can strengthen your faith until you are no longer a target for him, until the strength of your faith no longer permits him to slip in …. You humans are all subject to his influence but as long as you don’t belong to Me you don’t think his influence is bad and willingly give in to him, for he is still your master whom you do not resist …. But anyone who already belongs to My Own experiences everything coming from him as harassment, and thus it should be a sign for you to beware if you become anxious or are pursued by troublesome thoughts …. Then you will know that he is at work, then you should very seriously take the path to Me and these harassments will stop very quickly. Your earthly life need not be painful and difficult; you can spend every day in happy joyfulness if only you join Me with all your heart and hand every problem over to Me with complete trust …. Then I will take care of you and guide you safely and soundly on the path to ascent, for then you will have totally handed yourselves over to Me and My adversary will have no more claim over you ….
Amen

God's word – Elixir of life …. Death and life ….
B.D. 6528 from April 21st 1956, taken from Book No. 70
You are to acquire life for yourselves, you are to escape the state of death in which you humans dwell, and thus an elixir of life must be offered to you, forces in you which lie idle must be released through it, a new stream of life must flow through you, and everything must be set in motion which previously rested inactive and rigid in you …. You must awaken from a sleep of death lasting ages …. There is a reliable remedy for you to awaken to life …. It is the living word, it is the water of life which pours out from God and which radiates a power that is sufficient to give life to the dead. For this water of life, God’s word from on high, is the direct irradiation of divine love which is of such strength that nothing touched by it can remain in a lifeless state …. But one thing is necessary, namely that this irradiation of love is not resisted. The length of time in which the awakening to life takes place depends on the willingness of the creatural. For by ‘life’ is not meant what is regarded as life by people on earth. Humans, animals, and plants also have a life …. But this life only serves to reach real life, which is to be understood as an eternally never-ending state of light and strength and is the goal of all creatural, because it signifies eternal bliss. And only God’s word gives you this ‘life’, but you humans must willingly listen to it, ponder it and act accordingly. Then all of you will feel its strengthening effect on yourselves, then you will understand that God’s word can be called the true elixir of life and that there can be no eternal life without this life-giver. For to be dead means to fall into a hardened state completely devoid of light and strength …. And yet this state is agonising for the being, because the term ‘death’ must not be confused with ‘non-being’. The creatural suffers immeasurable agony, for what once came forth from God can never ever cease to exist, it could only fall into an immeasurably agonising state because it gave away its life …. because it lost light and strength, thus the condition for activity, and fell into a state of hardening …. And it should free itself from this, it should strive for its former life again, it should acquire strength and light again, and it can do this by allowing the light of Love from eternity to flow into it and by now kindling itself with it …. by receiving the word of God and following it by practising love …. Thereby it becomes a power station itself, for love is power in itself …. The power begins to become active and what was dead awakens to life …. to a life it can never lose. Without God’s word this process of change from death to life is not possible, for by ‘God’s word’ is meant not only the direct address or impartation of spiritual knowledge, the human being can also be spoken to emotionally so that an urge for love expresses itself in him …. God can also speak to people in the form of feelings …. But the irradiation of divine love is always necessary for the dead to change into life …. God’s word is indispensable and conveys the knowledge of His will to the being. For God’s will must be followed if the dead being wants to attain life. God’s will is love for Him and for the neighbour. But love is light and strength, love is life, and where it is active the state of death must change, the being must be stimulated into activity, and activity gives proof of life …. And God will not rest until all dead has returned to life, for it was originally created in light and strength, something living had been brought forth from God Himself …. And this life, which it once possessed and voluntarily gave away, must be regained irrevocably, otherwise the being would have to persist eternally in wretchedness and torment ….

Spiritual and earthly change close at hand ….
B.D. 6529 from April 22nd 1956, taken from Book No. 70
You are approaching a spiritual turning point which, however, also causes a total earthly transformation, for people will not strive for and accomplish it themselves, instead I have to reshape the earth Myself, I first have to disintegrate all earthly creations or it would be impossible to create a spiritual state on earth again which is in complete contrast to the existing one. It can no longer be expected that people will acquire a higher state of maturity on earth, that the utterly unspiritual human race will so change that one can speak of a spiritual revival on this earth. At this present time people are aiming more and more towards the abyss and only a few strive to ascend, who are on a spiritually different level by having recognised their actual purpose of life and trying to attain it. The majority, however, are still infinitely far-away from everything of a spiritual nature and will not get any closer to it on this earth anymore. In any case, this low spiritual level cannot carry on because it signifies a darkness which will only result in utter disaster, both spiritually as well as physically …. This is why I set a limit and decided on a complete transformation from the start, since I have always foreseen this low spiritual level ….
People’s present way of life on earth is without meaning and purpose because they derive no benefit from it for the soul, since the real life in the spiritual kingdom is never even taken into consideration, although it is the reason why you humans were given your earthly life. A total transformation of the earth’s surface, a reshaping of all earthly creations and a new embodiment of all spiritual beings into external forms suitable for their degree of maturity has become imperative, and then people’s spiritual state will be an elevated one again because the new human race will consist of spiritually mature people who have overcome the great distance from Me and will be so close to Me that I can dwell amongst them on this earth. Then a true spiritual change will have taken place, then the earth will have a different appearance and all living creations …. human beings and animals, …. will live in peace and harmony on this earth …. It will truly be a paradise on earth, a new period will begin in happiness and bliss, but a new banishment will also be imposed upon the spiritual essence which will have descended into the abyss again and thus failed its last test of will on earth ….
All of you are facing this spiritual change …. And each one of you can still improve himself in this short time until the turning point, each one of you can overcome his low spiritual level and develop a degree of maturity which can still qualify him to become a fellow inhabitant of the new earth …. All options are still open to everyone, because I still lovingly and mercifully draw everyone out of the abyss who longingly stretches his hands out to Me …. But this opportunity will soon end, when the end has come the gate to the kingdom of the beyond will be closed, when the reshaping of the earth’s surface takes place, when the spiritual change occurs just as the earthly change happens through the disintegration of the earthly creations, through the liberation of all bound and the banishment of all free spirits …. Then the separation of the spirits will have taken place and all spiritual substances will have been ‘judged’ …. i.e. placed into a form which corresponds to their state of maturity. The spiritual change is near and an earthly change is therefore inevitable; but a blissful time will be granted to all those who are and want to remain My Own, who prove themselves during the last battle on this earth and despite suffering and adversity remain faithful to Me until the end ….
Amen

Right will recognises origin of word ….
B.D. 6530 from April 24th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
You should listen to Me and completely rely on and trust in My word, then you will truly take the path which leads to the goal. Many people certainly have the will to go right, yet their will has not yet become a feeling of the heart but only an empty saying, otherwise people would recognise the Father’s voice and act accordingly. It is and remains a battle between light and darkness, but the desire for light decides and also gives victory. What would I rather do than give light to those who desire it and who thereby also prove their desire for Me, Who Myself am the Light from eternity? …. My sun of love constantly shines down on you humans and you need do nothing else but enter its circle of rays, you only need to look for Me Myself and the light, you only need to let yourselves be illuminated by Me and it will become bright around and within you. I am now making My light shine to earth in the form of My word, and anyone who basks in this light will awaken to life which he will never lose again. Can you humans now doubt that I Myself am at work when you are offered something spiritual which gives you brightness? They are not empty words which you hear …. you can recognise them with your intellect and your heart as wise and testifying to love, and you cannot determine any other origin than within the person who imparts them to you …. Thus they must sound within this human being himself and come from a source which you cannot deny but which you will not find in the earthly realm either …. otherwise you would have to hear the same sound within you …. You can indeed do so, but then you would no longer doubt either …. But to the doubters I say: Seek to find out how such words come about, which reveal profoundest wisdom …. Seek an explanation for it, but keep being sincere and honest …. Do not use sayings, but think seriously. And you will have to look for the source of knowledge, the origin of the word, which imparts profound knowledge to you, where truth alone can originate …. with Me, your God and Creator from eternity …. with the eternal truth Itself. And you will be able to gain this knowledge if you are serious about walking the right path. Your will alone decides whether you think right or wrong. And your will is going to be judged by Me. For this reason I will provide in a physical and earthly manner for him who is of the will to serve Me and the truth, and I will protect you against all interference on the part of the world which are directed against Me as the Eternal Truth and against you as My servants …. I will not leave you who have come to Me voluntarily, and My word will always sound in that way that you will recognise it as your Father’s voice, and never ever will your inner feeling deceive you when I speak to you, you will press ever more intimately towards Me and therefore always be able to hear more clearly what your Father is saying to you. But your fellow human beings will only recognise the Father’s voice in the word conveyed to you if they desire to be spoken to by Me, if they willingly open their hearts and ears, if they approach you without prejudice and allow the power of My word to take effect on them. But every inner resistance makes them unable to hear My voice, then they only hear empty words and do not believe in their origin either …. Yet everyone receives what he desires, and light will shine to everyone who wants to walk in the light ….
Amen

Descent into hell …. Lucifer's opposition ….
B.D. 6531 from April 25th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
It is true that I descended into hell after My death on the cross and that I also brought redemption to those who had not yet entered the gate into eternal bliss, because this gate first had to be opened by My death on the cross …. Countless souls had awaited the hour of their salvation and I appeared to them as Jesus the human being, and I described to them My suffering and death because they, too, had to voluntarily acknowledge Me as Son of God and Saviour of the world. But I was also accepted by those who had lived a good life on earth; I was not rejected by everyone, nevertheless countless souls resisted Me and rejected the gift of grace, My Salvation …. My adversary’s influence on these souls was so strong that they only saw Me as the human being who had revolted against earthly rulers and hence was sentenced to death …. The freedom of will had to be upheld for all these souls. Therefore I could not appear in power and glory …. I had to come amongst them just as I had walked amongst the people on earth …. as a human being Who only by means of the Word tried to convince them of His mission and the accomplished act of Salvation.
But My adversary did not want to let go of the souls, nevertheless for the first time he realised the consequence of My act of Salvation …. he could not hold on to the souls who acknowledged Me, who voluntarily wanted to follow Me through the gate which had been opened by Me for them …. They were released from his power, they broke the chains with the strength they received from Me, because I Myself had loosened them …. Hence My adversary raged even more amongst his followers, and now the battle of light against darkness (the battle of darkness against light) began in earnest and has never ceased, and thus rages on earth and in the spiritual kingdom …. I had descended into hell to bring salvation to all those whose earthly life had ended before I came to earth …. to all those who, in spite of a right way of life, were still subject to My adversary who even fought against Me Myself and against whom I fought on earth for every soul he was keeping in chains …. And he lost a large proportion of his followers ….
I had died for all those souls and everyone could have liberated themselves from him. But his fury was never-ending when he saw himself deprived of his followers …. when he had to realise that I had gained a victory, but which was entirely achieved by love. He, too, could have submitted himself to love, yet his power, his ownership, was still too large and he resisted the strength of My love, and hence it could not take effect on him either. But the moment had come when he had to realise that his power was defeated …. He had to accept that he had found his master in the human being Jesus, Whose love had achieved unification with Me …. And thus his hate grew ever stronger because the divine Saviour Jesus Christ had now become a serious opponent Who could take his followers away by virtue of His love. But My adversary still found a helpful solution in the fact that this depends on every being’s free will and constantly tries to influence his victim’s will, be it on earth or even in the spiritual kingdom. But I descended into hell after My death on the cross, and I continue to descend into hell to bring salvation to all those who want to liberate themselves from him, and he will not be able to stop Me, he will never be able to forcibly retain the souls who want to follow My call …. His power has been defeated by My death on the cross, but even this crucifixion could not break his resistance, his hatred and his will are unyielding, his actions are evil, and his essence is entirely without love ….
For this reason he lacks the strength to give life to the dead. His remaining strength will only ever be used for negative actions, and thus positive strength has to weaken his activity ever more …. love has to attract and draw to itself everything which is lifeless and then revive it again …. With My descent into hell the return of the once fallen beings to Me had started, the awakening of the dead into life had commenced, for love has proven that it is stronger than hate, love has made
Amends on the cross for the guilt which had resulted in the death of the beings. And thus life has been bought for them, he who had put the beings into the state of death had been defeated ….
Amen

God's work through His instruments ….
B.D. 6532 from April 26th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
You only have a short period of time left to work for Me and My kingdom, and you should use it to the best of your ability, always bearing in mind that it is necessary, that you do not work in vain, that it is a service to people and the suffering souls in the beyond which can still be very successful, even if the majority of people are not receptive to My word. You should always know that it is not you who carry out this spiritual work but that I Myself work through you, that you only carry out what I deem advisable and beneficial, and that you are therefore, as it were, only instruments for Me, guided and controlled by My will …. but that you must give Me your will otherwise I cannot use you for this work. What you therefore tackle spiritually is and always remains My will, for it is most important at present considering the approaching end, it is urgent work that everything earthly should take second place, because earthly work can also be carried out by many others, whereas spiritual work is only rarely done by a person with the degree of dedication which allows My working through him. Time and again you are told that your services are welcome to Me, that rescue work can only still be carried out by people in this day and age because humanity is already too far away from Me and I Myself cannot influence it directly. I can certainly bring about everything, nothing is impossible for Me by virtue of My power …. yet I cannot and will not use it in order not to curtail people’s freedom of will. But through you I can still unusually work upon people because it will still affect them within the scope of the human and natural. But for this I need just such people who hand themselves over to Me without any resistance and now serve Me as a form …. but who are and remain aware of their work, who therefore only do what I mentally place in their heart, who fulfil My will because it is also theirs through their surrender to Me …. Understand Me, I Myself work through you, and thus you can spend your days on earth completely free from worries, and every day will proceed as a blessing for you and your fellow human beings and for the souls in the spiritual kingdom as long as it is your will to serve Me and live to please Me. Do whatever you feel urged to do; as soon as you are undecided ask Me for advice and clarity and always hand yourselves in full trust over to My guidance …. the end is at hand and much work shall still be done and My servants shall not tire, but I will provide them with strength, I will give them bodily and spiritually what they need and I will guide all their thoughts so that they move along the right paths …. I will bless them and their work ….
Amen

Work of the spirit ….
B.D. 6533 from April 27th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
“Whatever will be given to you in that hour, that speak ….” “I will put the words into your mouth ….” What else do these words mean but that My spirit should be active in you …. My spirit is poured out upon all flesh, i.e., I Myself want to express Myself in a human form; the human being shall receive something which is not provided for in the human being’s nature, in his bodily functions, but which demonstrates a power which cannot be fathomed by nature but which cannot be denied either, since it has an obvious effect. I will pour out My spirit upon people, just as the process took place on My disciples after My resurrection …. This act was not just a one-off, it shall and will always be repeated where the prerequisites are present which also made My disciples capable of this act, for the outpouring of the spirit is only possible when a person has prepared himself as a right vessel through a way of life according to My will. The human being must experience a certain new birth; he must have accomplished an inner change which has transferred him from My adversary’s sphere of power into My sphere so that he can receive My illumination of light of love …. a process which gives him light and brightens his thinking, and he now brightly and clearly recognises what is and remains hidden from his fellow human being until he has likewise accomplished this change of nature. And this irradiation of love can take place with such a different intensity, depending on the human being’s degree of love and maturity, so that the working of the spirit becomes apparent in most different ways …. that the human being can work miracles, heal the sick, teach in all wisdom or also reveal the future to his fellow human beings on My behalf …. But it is always the same spirit which accomplishes this, it is My spirit which pours into every human heart which has prepared itself to be a proper receptacle of My divine flow of love. A power which remained ineffective until My crucifixion was now able to permeate after the act of Salvation and enliven people in many ways, for anyone pervaded by My spirit has conquered the darkness of death. He has been given light, knowledge has been imparted to him which only the ‘spirit from God’ could convey to him …. His thinking is enlightened and he has received all of his knowledge from Me, because My spirit now fills him, which informs him about all things …. But My spirit can only pour into a suitable vessel …. All of you humans can form yourselves into suitable vessels if you live according to My will, if you form yourselves into love again …. I make only this a condition for you in order to be able to pour out My spirit upon you who still walk the earth ignorantly: …. cultivate love …. Through My crucifixion I have acquired the strength you need to work with love, because as human beings you are still weak …. If you now turn to Me in Jesus Christ and request this strength, then you will also succeed in performing works of love, and through these you will purify your heart and align it well …. The more eagerly you practise love the brighter your inner being becomes, you receive Me Myself because you attract Me through every work of love …. But when I Myself am present to you everything must be bright and clear and I must also express Myself to you. And now My spirit fills your hearts and guides you into all truth …. It gives you strength in abundance, you see what was previously hidden from you, you are no longer weak, gloomy creatures but you have acquired light and strength through love. You have requested My spirit which now works in you, which enlightens you, which teaches you …. which proves My presence to you, which I promised you with the words: “I will stay with you until the end of the age …. “
Amen

Lightbearers …. Worldly-minded people ….
B.D. 6534 from April 28th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
My word will always seem incomprehensible to the worldly-minded person, and the best explanations will not illuminate his spiritual state. On the other hand, everyone whose thoughts and eyes are turned towards Me will understand it. For this reason the bearers of light, the proclaimers of truth, will be judged very differently by their fellow human beings …. because everyone judges according to his talent, and everyone believes to give the right judgement. You stand in the midst of a spiritually completely deprived world, and what you should bring to people who are in a very low spiritual state touches them so abstractly, so nonsensically, that they despise you, deride you and regard you as inferior …. whereas people who have already received a small light are delighted by a gift which seems priceless to them and therefore also approach the bearers of light with love because they recognise and appreciate them as My messengers. There are two worlds which confront each other when the light from on high is offered to completely blind people …. Yet if a little light would never shine into this darkness the few who desire light could not be lured out of the darkness. And therefore the attempts must be made again and again to preach My Gospel to the worldly people too …. even if there is not much success …. And My servants must not let themselves be held back by vituperation of any kind, they must always bear in mind that they are My servants and that they are destined for the same fate as I was when I lived on earth and was called ‘servant of Beelzebul’. But those still believed in a God and His adversary. But the people of the present time no longer want to acknowledge anything and only consider you to be people of confused mind who live in delusions …. People do not recognise My voice, they do not recognise the truth, they do not know in what spiritual darkness they are walking …. but they think themselves wise and therefore do not accept any instructions either …. And thus, on the one hand, most profound wisdom, clearest realisation, and strongest working of spiritual power can come to light …. the dark world profits nothing from this …. It is and remains ignorant, blind, and powerless, and yet people live together and side by side …. Lights have been lit in the midst of darkness, and their gleam would probably suffice to chase away the darkness of the environment. But the light is opposed, people try to extinguish it, they refuse to see its soft gleam and continue to walk in darkness. But I protect My bearers of light …. and even if they cannot achieve much success with their fellow human beings, these will not succeed in extinguishing My light …. time and again new little lights can be lit, and time and again individual people will be found who feel comfortable in their rays and shield every bearer of light if he is threatened by danger in the darkness. Anyone who feels comfortable in the darkness will perish in it, anyone who seeks the light will also see the bright morning sun and the light of day will never leave him again. But the people of the world only see the delusive glares and they make for them, and suddenly they stand in the deepest night when the glares go out …. But that is why they are not able to kindle a small flame of love in themselves, because their eyes are so blinded and they are not able to see a tiny flame when it is held out to them, so that they themselves may take light from it in order to reduce the darkness …. in order to walk in the dim light and thus feel a small desire within themselves to also improve this dim light and step into the brightness that will fill them with bliss. The soul only feels happy in light, and every soul must possess light if it wants to be happy in the spiritual kingdom one day. It can already receive light on earth. But if it resists the light bearers I Myself send in its way, it will enter the kingdom of the beyond completely destitute of light, and then it will have to struggle hard to receive what it could easily acquire on earth. For such a soul will act just as rejectingly towards those who want to bring it a light as it did on earth, and endless periods of time can pass until it changes its mind, until a light will shine for it …. For the darkness holds it captive as if with chains, and its will for light alone is decisive that light will now also be conveyed to it ….
Amen

Right use of vital energy ….
B.D. 6535 from April 29th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
The fact that you can want, think and act already presupposes a force in you …. the vital energy which is at every human being’s disposal during his earthly existence. Now thinking, wanting and acting can just relate to earthly things, the human being, in his entire nature, can be orientated in just an earthly manner, then the vital energy will only be used for earthly purposes and everything achieved will decay with the death of the body, i.e. it is transitory and therefore has no lasting value. Then the human being has led a useless life, then it was an idle life which he has covered …. He has used the vital energy to which he is entitled in the wrong way …. The right use of vital energy consists in his creating spiritual possessions for himself …. that his thoughts, intentions, and actions aim at spiritual gain which will remain with him forever, for every earthly action can also result in spiritual success; a person’s intentions and thoughts can be directed right if they are determined by love, which then urges the person to use the vital energy again for loving activity. Every activity can be based on two different motives …. Earthly achievements can stimulate the human being and drive him to activity, but the human being can also be driven by love to wanting, thinking, and acting, and then every activity will result in spiritual success. Then the vital energy is used in the right way, then it is used according to divine will, then earthly life is successful for the soul, then the human being fulfils the purpose of his earthly life, and the vital energy yields him spiritual strength which he can take with him into the kingdom of the beyond. Thus you humans have been given the means to acquire spiritual wealth by being supplied with vital energy, which in itself is a gift from God, because you once rejected every irradiation of power from God. But it would not be possible for you to pass the test of free will on earth if you were not allocated the amount of vital energy which a free decision of will requires. For precisely the utilisation of this vital energy is the decision of will …. And it is solely a matter of whether the energy is used in the sense of God’s adversary or whether the vital energy is determined by love, thus by the divine principle …. whether it is used to acquire spiritual strength and to be released from every fetter in which the soul is put by God’s adversary. Earthly life was given to the human being for this purpose, and this decision of will is extremely significant, after all, it determines the state after death in the spiritual kingdom. If your thoughts, intentions, and actions are only directed in an earthly manner you will only use up your vital energy without any success, for the end of your physical life is certain and you will enter the kingdom of the beyond without a plus …. But if you let the love within you determine all your actions, thoughts, and intentions, then you will accumulate a treasure of spiritual possessions and you will not live in vain on this earth. However, the vital energy is usually only utilised in an earthly manner, and yet it alone can help you to attain eternal wealth, since everything earthly is one day subject to decay …. Spiritual possessions, however, are not obviously recognisable, whereas earthly goods are visible and tangible and therefore much more likely to be striven for. But one day you humans will lose your vital energy, and then it will turn out how you have used it, whether riches await you on the other side or whether you will have to live in poverty and misery, in weakness and darkness, because you failed to acquire lasting possessions on earth …. because you did not use your vital energy for the purpose for which it was given to you ….

Souls in the beyond pay attention to every spiritual work ….
B.D. 6536 from April 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
If you could see the multitudes surrounding you who want to draw nourishment from you, you would be overjoyed to be able to help all of them in their spiritual need. You are truly saviours for them who pull them up from the depths because you can bring them what they can cling to, what gives them comfort and hope and what makes them find their way to Me, Whom they now strive towards with all eagerness once they have felt the power of My word. Countless souls surround you, and time and again new souls are brought into your circle by those who found help with you and in their gratitude also want to help the other needy souls again. And all of them are only awaiting the hour when you will make contact with Me in order to be able to participate in the spiritual exchange. You are constantly surrounded by seeking souls, for the sphere of light in which you dwell attracts the souls, and as soon as you are spiritually active a ray of light becomes recognisable, and the souls are waiting for this, which know that they may receive light and strength from you …. This certainty alone should spur you on to spiritual activity, and then you will also understand that these beings constantly urge you and that you feel this as an admonition to work in the vineyard, that you only find satisfaction in this work and want to detach ever more from earthly activity. Spiritual work is blessed a thousand times over, and multitudes of souls are redeemed insofar as that they now get to know the path which leads out of darkness. It is the knowledge of Jesus Christ which these souls must receive so that they then take the path to Him themselves, Who alone can open the gate to everlasting life for them. That is why you should time and again mention the act of Salvation. You cannot talk enough about what Jesus has done for humanity …. You cannot let your minds wander to Him often enough, so that the souls surrounding you will also turn their eyes to where they behold the cross, where they can carry their sins in the knowledge that He alone is able to redeem them. All these souls eagerly accept the knowledge from you and they do not doubt it either, because they are beneficially touched by all My words, and they believe it, because they at the same time behold a light …. because My word also has the power to accomplish an inner change in them, and because the souls which approach you have little resistance within themselves, because they feel your love which wants to help them and they willingly submit to this love …. If you knew what redeeming power emanates from you when you are spiritually active …. if you knew how grateful all souls are when they are allowed to gather again in order to participate, when you yourselves are taught through My word or pass on My word …. You would only take care of these souls with utmost joy and willingness to help and find far greater inner satisfaction than any earthly work you have done can give you …. And therefore you should not grow weary, for this is the only help which can still be brought to the immature souls from earth. Your love shall follow them even beyond the grave, and you shall never cease to remember all those who departed before you into the kingdom of the beyond …. Every good thought has a beneficial effect on these souls, and you draw all those close to you and can help them through the transmission of My word, so that they attain salvation through Jesus Christ, Whom they now learn to know and love through My word, which is offered to them through you ….
Amen

Unquestioning faith earns the human being overabundant strength ….
B.D. 6537 from May 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 70
The human being is weak and yet he could have a measure of strength at his disposal that everything would be possible for him if only he believed that he could accomplish everything in union with Me. He only needs to intimately attach himself to Me and in full confidence appeal for My help …. He only needs to believe that I can help and want to help …. and I will not let this faith be shattered …. But where can such a deep faith be found? Doubt will always creep in with you humans, and this doubt weakens the strength of faith, this doubt prevents Me from making My love and My might evident. You humans could truly remove mountains, you could accomplish everything and yet you do not use this possibility because you are weak in faith …. But you can develop your faith to full strength if you are constantly active in unselfish neighbourly love. For activity in love also guarantees unity with Me, Who am Eternal Love Itself …. And My nearness, My presence will have an effect in the feeling of certainty that you will also gain everything from Me you ask for. It goes without saying that your requests now are mainly spiritually directed, because love also illuminates your thinking, nevertheless, earthly requests are also granted to you as soon as they are based on love again, as soon as you want to help those who are in trouble. You can achieve much with a strong faith, yet you will only ever muster such a faith through loving activity which directly brings you strength from Me, and such a strength of faith is then also capable of accomplishing everything. You must always keep My promise in mind …. the words I spoke to people when I lived on earth are truth and come true …. And if I have promised you that you will receive what you ask ‘the Father in My name’, then you can also expect with all certainty that I will fulfil My word …. Time and again you must recall My words and adhere to all of them. And if you now believe in Me as your God and Father, as your Redeemer from sin and death, you will also know that I can take all suffering from you and will also do so if you trustingly ask Me for it. The faith of all of you is still very weak and you thereby tie My hands yourselves, because I cannot accomplish anything unusual so as not to coerce your faith …. as long as it is still weak …. Yet you know that nothing is impossible for Me, and you also know that I am Love …. Love does not deny itself but always wants to please and fulfil, and if you now bear this in mind then it will also become a certainty to you that you are not asking in vain …. Then you will come to Me trustingly and in full confidence, and then you will ask Me in spirit and truth and await fulfilment …. And it will come to you, because I will not let such a faith be shattered …. Anyone to whom I can be present also feels Me, and he is certain of the fulfilment of his request. But I can only be present to those who are unselfishly active in love, and therefore the strength of faith will always depend on the activity of love …. But all of you can attain a strong faith if only you fulfil My commandments of love, which are therefore the most important thing in earthly life …. For only love gives birth to a living faith, and then nothing will be impossible for you to achieve ….

Battle of faith …. Hostilities …. Antichrist ….
B.D. 6538 from May 3rd 1956, taken from Book No. 70
I want to bless you so that you will be My firm supporters when the edifice of faith which, for My Own, is the essence of the church of Christ, is being shaken …. when they shake what I have erected Myself and what I keep teaching people time and again through My Word. The time is approaching when not only the representatives of misguided teachings will treat you with hostility, but when all faith per se is intended to be rooted out, regardless of whether it is misguided or corresponds to the truth, because then My adversary will be determined to use his sharpest weapon: to displace all knowledge and belief in Me and My act of Salvation and replace it with materialistic points of view and plans. And this will be the dawning of a period which you as yet consider impossible, for My adversary will embody himself within a worldly ruler and start his work so cunningly that at first he will only be recognised by few people as to who he really is ….
And so he will win many over who will subsequently follow and obey him blindly as he inconspicuously changes his plans …. For in the beginning he will only proceed against individual denominations and will be supported in this by others who will be only too willing to help him when it concerns removing their opponents. And this is why you will at first believe that you are only subject to hostilities by those who only fight the pure truth because they are representatives of errors and lies themselves. And then you will have to be careful as not to endanger yourselves deliberately. Not long afterwards they will be treated with the same hostility, and then the Antichrist’s activity becomes obvious …. And even then he will still be followed by many, because they will already be under his control and he will have an easy game with them. Not much time will pass anymore before the first signs become apparent …. The battle of faith will not start with an act of violence, for My adversary will proceed cunningly and even deceive many believers, who will consequently follow him and, at a later time, become his welcome servants. Yet he will be unable to deceive you, who are spiritually awake, for I will open your eyes and guide your thoughts into the right direction …. For then it will be time to arm yourselves for the final battle, which will be waged with inconceivable brutality. But I will bless you …. I will be with you Myself and leave no one defending Me and My name without protection. For this battle will be decisive since it will, after all, separate the sheep from the goats and be the work of My adversary which will condemn him …. As soon as he fights Me Myself, as soon as he wants to stop the distribution of knowledge about Me and My act of Salvation he will have passed his own judgment, he will be bound and deprived of his every power without fail.
But a clear separation must nevertheless take place, because far too many people are still neither fish nor fowl …. because far too many deem themselves devout and first have to pass this test and regretfully fail because they are not living in truth, because they have little love and therefore can neither receive nor recognise the truth for what it is …. This is why you, My servants, still have to be incredibly active, for then many opportunities will still present themselves where you can enlighten those who then …. beset by doubts …. will be incapable of discernment and desire advice. And you will indeed succeed in helping those who are weak of faith into becoming strong believers; you will succeed in drawing a few over into your camp, you will be able to give them clear and intelligible information and present Me as a loving God and Father Who only requires firm faith in order to also be able to help them in utmost adversity and to grant them the strength to persevere until the end ….
Amen

Lightbearers and their task …. Divine gift of grace ….
B.D. 6539 from May 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
Anyone who has once placed himself within the range of My sun of grace, who has once exposed himself to the effect of its rays, will no longer feel at ease in the darkness of night, he will time and again seek the light, he will no longer want to live without light …. And My sun of grace shines incessantly, it sends its light far out into the darkness and touches people’s hearts; but its effect can only touch the heart which voluntarily turns towards the ray of light, which opens itself to the light and ray of love and seeks warmth. And therefore it is also possible that a heart remains completely unimpressed if it closes itself, if it resists every ray of light; then this heart has not yet moved into My sphere of light, then the shine of My sun of grace is completely ineffective, the human being is in a dark sphere and stays there although he is constantly offered the opportunity to enter the realm of light. And therefore light and darkness will be close together on earth, the hearts of some will be filled with light and thus stand in the sphere of My sun of grace …. while the others cannot be struck by My ray of light, only because they turn away themselves, because they have no desire for light and feel comfortable in darkness. Yet people have free will …. If My ray of light and love were to be effective despite resistance, this free will would be overridden and the individuals’ states of light would no longer vary …. but then becoming perfect would not be possible either, because this requires free will …. But no being is denied light …. My ray of love shines so brightly into the darkness that truly everything could be filled with light if all resistance was given up. And in the last days both this radiation of light and the resistance are very clearly recognisable, for I make use of unusual means of grace in order to supply humanity with light. Yet more than ever this light is resisted, the resistance is stronger than ever …. And that is why the earth is shrouded in darkness, that is why it is also absolutely essential for bearers of light to venture into dark territory on My behalf, that they time and again make their light shine out into the dark night. The effect of the light is unmistakable, for once it has been kindled it will not go out again …. But the kindling is precisely an act of free will, as the spark which lies dormant in every person, which I have placed in every person’s heart, flares up through loving activity …. But then the human being also has entered the realm of My sun of grace, then the light will incessantly shine down on him and kindle ever brighter light in him …. love will become ever more powerful in him and he will become a bearer of light himself again, because he, too, felt the darkness to be a state of torment and likewise wants to lead his fellow human beings to the light. It is only ever love which gives light, because love is divine and because God is the Light from eternity …. Thus you approach Me Myself when you live in love; then you must catch My illumination and thus also stand in the light. And that is why ‘spreading light’ means: To proclaim My divine teaching of love to people …. Therefore the human being lights a little light which shines out into the darkness when he explains the significance of Jesus’ teaching of love to his fellow human beings, when he encourages them to live a life of love, and when his speech meets with approval and his fellow human beings want to follow him …. then another little light has been lit, for the human being will mature in knowledge as soon as he is not only a listener but a doer of My word …. as soon as he himself will make an effort to live a life of love. And anyone who has caught a ray of My divine light of love will also allow it to take effect and will not return into darkness any more. There is little light among people because there is little love …. And therefore there is no more urgent work for all who stand in the light than to preach love incessantly and to live it themselves …. Love has grown cold among people, and much warmth of love is needed to revive these cold human hearts and to stimulate them to carry out works of love …. But where a spark of love can spread out, there is also still hope that it will kindle in the heart of the fellow human being and that it will now also become light in him and he will escape the darkness forever ….
Amen

God's guidance and surrender of will ….
B.D. 6540 from May 5th 1956, taken from Book No. 70
You will live a blessed earthly life if you devote yourselves fully to Me and consciously strive to fulfil My will. Then your former resistance will be broken and earthly life will only serve to achieve the deification of your being which will earn you the childship to God. For even if your soul is now completely turned towards Me, your body is still composed of immature substances which you should and can help to spiritualise during your earthly life. And the soul, too, will have substances which are not yet fully matured, which in the previous embodiments did not completely submit to My order from eternity and also first must come to the just order, but which you can easily achieve precisely through your conscious way of life, through your realisation of your purpose of earthly life. But where the will exists to submit completely to My will there is no longer any danger that the human being could fail, for he is guided like a child by the Father’s hand and therefore cannot go astray. But in order to submit the will to Mine, there must first be a deep faith in Me as God and Creator and as Father of His children …. For only the latter explains the trust in Him Whose child the human being wants to be but who only initially sees himself as His creature. The human being now places himself in My care, he places himself under My guidance in the firm belief that he will now also be guided right. How easily all people could attain perfection while still on earth if they had this belief that they need a guide if they want to walk the right path, if they want to pursue their earthly task …. But this first requires the knowledge that every human being has to fulfil a task in earthly life. And where this knowledge is lacking it will also be difficult to find faith in a God and Father and therefore the connection with Him will not be established through surrender of will. But every human being would have to consider a purpose of his earthly life as probable, and therefore every human being would also have to become restless at times and ask himself questions. But world affairs prevent him from doing so, and once such questions arise in him, then a thousand other thoughts will quickly chase them away again …. unless he realises the worthlessness and transitoriness of earthly goods and therefore looks for another purpose in life …. And therefore I have to keep on making people aware of this ‘transitoriness of earthly things’, I have to take away from them what their hearts cling to, I have to inflict pain on them so often that they will come to recognise the worthlessness of everything that holds their thoughts captive. Then I can sometimes achieve that they seek and strive for another goal, and then it is also possible that they submit their will to the One Whom they had to recognise in losses and strokes of fate of all kinds. But people often go astray for a long time until they take the right path, whereas it would be extremely easy if they allowed themselves to be guided from the very beginning of their earthly life …. which, however, requires deep faith …. But faith cannot be given to them, it must be acquired through loving activity, then the human being will no longer resist accepting the instructions he receives about Me and My nature …. Then he will try to bring himself into contact with the Being in Whom he now wants to believe …. And I assure all of you time and again that the slightest good will will be recognised and heeded by Me, that I will now evidently come close to every person showing this will, and that you can now constantly know yourselves to be guided by Me as soon as you only want to be, as soon as you give up your former resistance and want to live to please Me. This change of will will also irrevocably result in your change of nature, because I Myself will help you, because I will not any more abandon anyone who has once decided to subject his will to Mine. And it should truly be easy for all of you humans to acknowledge a God and Creator …. Who, however, wants to be your Father and to Whom you can always turn with complete trust in His help …. He will always be there for you but never determine you against your will ….
Amen
