It is extremely wrong to deem the souls of the departed as being in an eternal sleep until the arrival of Judgment day …. This idea proves total ignorance of the soul’s process of development, furthermore, it proves a wrong attitude towards Me or a person could not think so wrongly …. and it proves that there is no belief in the soul’s life after death, for an eternal sleep of death, as presumed by people, cannot be described as ‘life after death’.

But this misguided thought is also a great disadvantage for the departed souls, because prayers will not be offered for them and thus they will not receive the help which they need so badly. But people who adopted this doctrine and were taught wrongly will not accept being taught otherwise, and yet they hold on to the error as if it was gospel truth. Here, too, My adversary’s work is obvious, who particularly wants to stop people from praying for the souls, because such prayer could help to set them free, which he tries to prevent. But even when these misguided teachings are confronted by the truth, people will not take the only path which could provide them with clarification …. They need only ask Me for an explanation, if they do not want to believe those who would like to correct their error …. they need only approach Me Myself. But they won’t take this path, and therefore they are beyond help and refuse to let go of their error.

However, these departed souls suffer immense hardship if they are not remembered in prayer. And people on earth cannot receive instructions for the better from the spiritual kingdom either, because they do not believe in a connection between the world of light and people on earth and therefore do not make themselves mentally available to the knowing powers. They are only concerned about their earthly life as human beings until death. Their idea of an ‘eternal sleep of the soul’ until ‘Judgment day’ only proves that they lack all knowledge about the spirits’ process of redemption, about My fundamental nature, which is love, wisdom and omnipotence, and about Jesus’ act of Salvation …. Their knowledge is very limited and does not correspond to the truth in the slightest, and when truth is brought to them they resist it. And yet they try to prove their point of view with the Word of God, with the Scriptures, but it is not their ‘awakened spirit’ that finds those references, rather, My adversary himself makes use of My Word when he wants to cause confusion …. But he is only successful when a person merely uses his intellect and does not ask Me Myself for enlightenment through the spirit when he asks for an explanation.

The letter kills, only the spirit gives life …. Anyone who does not entrust himself to Me first, so that I can guide his thoughts correctly, will truly be killed by the letter, since My adversary can use the letter too but will interpret its meaning completely differently and thereby make the biggest error seem acceptable to people …. The doctrine about the soul’s sleep of death is a truly dubious teaching …. a teaching which also causes great indignation in the needy souls of the beyond, who ‘live’ and yet are so weak that they would be grateful for every gift of strength a loving prayer could impart on them. People should frequently remember those souls in their prayers, whose family members on earth believe this misguided teaching …. so that they can gather strength, ascend and mentally help them in turn. Although a life of love on earth will soon provide the souls with clear understanding, they first have to let go of erroneous teachings before they can be assigned to a field of activity themselves …. since every activity in the spiritual kingdom consists of spreading the pure truth.

Hence, a soul that lived a life of love on earth is blessed indeed, it will easily detach itself from misguided attitudes and wrong spiritual knowledge. The others, however, will find themselves in utmost adversity, because every misguided teaching has damaging effects on the soul, but especially the teaching about the eternal sleep of death, since it can actually lead to a kind of darkness similar to death, and at the same time reduce the opportunities for help due to the belief that prayers are futile …. However, anyone who sincerely turns to Me Myself will become clearly aware how misguided this teaching is ….

Amen

All My right instruments are under My protection, they are guided according to My will and will always be welcome servants in My vineyard, of which I still need many in the last days before the end. Anyone who therefore wants Me to take him on into My service can know that he is guided and protected by Me as long as he recognises his Lord in Me, as long as he is not fickle having not yet quite decided which lord he should serve …. And the human being should precisely be aware of the fact that he can very easily be enlisted in work which is not in My will …. if he pays attention to the directions of the one who is My adversary. There are only a few people who are so filled with love for Me and their fellow human beings that they willingly want to use their strength for the work of Salvation, which is My goal but has to be carried out with the cooperation of people …. where I Myself cannot emerge obviously …. who therefore, in their love, want to help Me and at the same time help the souls of the misguided to find their way to Me. Such a love enables them to hear My voice, My instructions, so clearly and distinctly that they will only ever work in My will. And these will never listen to My adversary’s whispers, for his instructions are of a different nature …. In the end they always come down to an earthly material direction of purpose, and the souls of the needy derive little advantage from it. What must be done first for these needy souls and what is therefore the most important work in My vineyard is the proclamation of Jesus’ teaching of love, the proclamation of the pure Gospel. This is necessary in the last period before the end …. And therefore I will keep on conveying the pure Gospel to earth, I will directly convey it to those who are suitable instruments for Me, who want to serve Me in love for Me and their neighbour. The sick souls can only recover through My word, which teaches them love as the most important thing …. thus the souls must be spoken to and …. because I cannot do this Myself on every soul …. willing servants must help Me, they must lend Me their mouths themselves so that I can express Myself through them. Understand that I only call those people My suitable instruments who hand themselves over to Me, that I make use of them in order to do what is necessary for the salvation of souls on earth or in the beyond, that they mature and take the path upwards, that they strive to reach Me as their goal. You humans shall speak to your fellow human beings in My stead and then you will be efficient servants in My vineyard. People shall be given knowledge which is beneficial for their souls, the knowledge about their earthly task and how they can fulfil this task …. This knowledge is enough for people to develop upwards, for their souls to mature, for them not to get lost …. And every person who contributes his share towards bringing this knowledge to his fellow human beings, every person who is able to receive the pure truth from Me and passes it on again unadulterated, is in fact My servant who need never fear to fulfil anyone else’s will but Mine. But I Myself know what people need as nourishment for their souls, I know what is beneficial for their souls but also what is harmful to them …. But you humans do not know this, and therefore you should always be more eager to ask Me Myself for the right nourishment for your souls, you should not try to acquire intellectual knowledge which is worthless for your souls’ development, even though it is intended to feign spiritual knowledge. The last days are very short and the spiritual hardship is unspeakably great, and anyone who wants to serve Me in truth should only inspire his fellow human beings to love and therefore live a life of love himself …. he should not tarry when it comes to standing up for My word, but he should not try to direct his fellow human beings’ thoughts towards completely unimportant matters which, in view of the end, are of no value to the soul, for such thoughts are promoted by My adversary, whose endeavour is to prevent people from fulfilling what is most important …. from handing the soul the nourishment it needs in order to get out of his control. And he has many irons in the fire …. he will still present many things to you humans which want to worry your minds, which will make you forget what is most important …. And therefore you should always be careful whose voice you hear …. For all I want is the soul’s salvation, but he only directs your thoughts towards what is of use to the body ….

Amen

On your own you will never succeed in transforming your nature, for you lack the strength to do so. However, there is One who has acquired this strength for you …. The human being Jesus managed to achieve something on your behalf to remedy your state of weakness which was the consequence of your past rebellion against God …. Thus He took the consequences of this guilt of yours upon Himself, He paid for your guilt with His death on the cross and thereby made it possible for you to receive strength again …. He has acquired the strength for you and dispenses it as a gift of grace …. providing you avail yourselves of the blessings, for which your acknowledgement of Jesus Christ as Son of God and Redeemer of the world is a prerequisite, which also includes the acknowledgement of Jesus’ divinity. But what previously was impossible, that a person could change himself again into the being of light he had originally been, became possible through Jesus’ crucifixion, and so the return to God will with certainty have taken place if only the human being abides by Jesus Christ, if he appeals to Him for help on the path to perfection. The strength he subsequently receives is sufficient to liberate himself from the control of the one who had pulled him into the abyss and mercilessly kept him captive there, because without the help of Jesus Christ the being has no strength of its own to resist. Jesus Christ, therefore, also descended to hell to bring help to those who had already lost their earthly life before the act of Salvation and were still controlled by God’s adversary. They did not succeed in liberating themselves during their earthly life, for they were very weak willed and thus succumbed to the former and remained enslaved by him until the Saviour Jesus Christ arrived Whom they were allowed to follow unhindered, because He had also paid the purchase price with His blood for their souls. Yet even these souls’ free will had to be observed …. but which was subsequently strengthened if the soul was not entirely hostile ….

However, the descent into hell is not being understood properly if only the willing souls are being mentioned …. Jesus, the Crucified, also showed himself in the slough of total depravity, He dared to venture into His adversary’s, His fallen brother’s, realm …. He stood before Him with His wounds and showed Him what love was able to achieve …. He faced him like a brother, but even this immense sacrifice was unable to soften the latter’s heart of stone …. Scornfully the prince of hell turned away and with him a large crowd of most evil spirits …. Love did not find the way to their hearts for their hatred was greater and their will was free. God certainly knew that this would not be successful; nevertheless, the inhabitants of hell were offered the treasure of grace too, for love does not stop, not even for the most abject creature, but it does not compel its surrender …. Yet the act of love by Jesus, the man, could not overcome the hatred and opposition, nevertheless, it was offered to the beings of darkness as well, for Jesus’ love applied to all living creations and the descent into hell was a final attempt to persuade God’s adversary to turn around, to give him the final opportunity to change and to shorten the time of redemption for the fallen beings …. But even this greatest act of love, which God Himself accomplished in Jesus, the man, did not succeed in changing Lucifer’s arrogance and heartlessness, in fact, the latter regarded Jesus’ crucifixion as a triumph of his power and strength …. He considered himself the winner who had succeeded in delivering a divine being to his servants …. who certainly recognised in the Being that had descended to hell the One Who had ‘died’ but not the One Who was ‘resurrected’ …. Lucifer did not surrender, which the Deity had foreseen from the start …. and thus was able to base on this the work of guiding the fallen beings back which, however, will also return this prodigal son into the Father’s house one day when he recognises his weakness, but this will still take eternities until all those having been seduced by him have been completely redeemed ….

Amen

Where hearts open themselves to My word there can never be a relapse into the abyss, for the hearts will be struck by My ray of love and life will return to what was previously dead. But because the human being’s free will determines whether he accepts or rejects My word, they should also know what a relapse into the abyss implies for them …. And therefore I also give them knowledge through My word about the new creation of the earth and the banishment of the spiritual substances opposing Me in it …. For this reason only, in the last period before the end, people will be informed of what would otherwise not be necessary to know. Although very few people will believe it, their attention should be drawn to it so they might be aware of the great responsibility they bear for their souls in the short span of earthly life. The knowledge of the soul’s infinitely long course through creation before its embodiment as a human being is unnecessary as long as people believe in Me and make an effort to live according to My will …. And if they live contrary to My will then they are still offered the opportunity to change in the beyond …. although they can still sink into the abyss even then …. but there was still the possibility to mature in the beyond and to reach the light …. But once an earth period has ended, the gates into the kingdom of the beyond will also be closed, because then everything spiritual will be judged again, i.e. it will be transferred to where it belongs according to its degree of maturity for the purpose of upward development. Then the possibility of further development in the beyond will no longer exist, and the creations of the new earth will take in everything that is contrary to Me …. And therefore humanity will be enlightened in the last days, knowledge will be presented to My servants which shall make people aware of the great responsibility of their lives; and this knowledge can only be received in a spiritual manner …. but this is why it is also doubted with the remark that it is not contained in the Scriptures …. The imparting of this knowledge is a special grace, for it can contribute to the human being’s change, so that he is aware of the significance of his earthly life. This is also a ray of love on My part which kindles when it strikes an open heart. People should only think when My word is proclaimed to them …. Even if they do not believe what they are told by My servants I will give them light and direct their thoughts right so that they will come close to the truth. The act of new banishment is so momentous for everything spiritual that I truly want to do everything to protect people’s souls from it. But since free will must be respected I present their whole path of development to them …. which, again, can only happen through My word, because a recollection would only imply a compulsion of faith. But given good will everything is easy to believe if only the human being has the will to act and think right, and if only he acknowledges a Creator above himself to Whom he has to answer …. if only he willingly opens his heart to My word, which will truly not leave him untouched …. This is why I send the disciples of the last days to people with the instruction to proclaim My Gospel to them …. For necessity demands it, because I want to help all people and save them from falling away into the abyss ….

Amen

People who strive to ascend are particularly exposed to My adversary’s attacks and he uses a variety of means to reach his goal: to turn them away from Me again and to pull them down into the abyss. He is so deluded that he believes he will succeed because he does not know that he has already lost these souls through their will, which is meant for Me. For I will not abandon him any more who once turned to Me of his own free will …. But I cannot prevent him from temporarily turning to the world again if My adversary can achieve a sham success. Yet irrevocably the soul returns to Me, for the world can no longer captivate it, and My love draws the creature which has already found its way to Me. And therein you can also look for the explanation that spiritual strivers must wrestle with My adversary for their freedom. They will never be losers but nevertheless have to use strength, for he is persistent and his means are often not recognisable and can therefore have a harmful effect insofar as the path to Me is prolonged by temporary standstill or looking backwards …. But I cannot prevent people from being blinded by a false light …. and particularly not so when right light shone from Me and they passed by it for the sake of that delusive glare …. when their eyes are then weakened and they can no longer recognise anything …. Neither I nor My adversary will use coercion where the creatures’ free decision is concerned, but nevertheless My adversary will not succeed in snatching the souls from Me again which are on their way to Me, he can only stop them and try to bring them to heel for his objects. And then free will will decide again, which will, however, certainly also find its way back to Me again, even if the human being has taken wrong paths, for whoever has once chosen Me as his goal will never give up this goal again. But the fact that it is at all possible to obey his wishes in the slightest is due to you humans yourselves …. You have loosened your bond with Me yourselves and thereby attracted him to you, who will seize such an opportunity. For this reason increased vigilance is always called for for everyone who strives to ascend, for even if the adversary is blind in spirit, even if his thinking is completely wrong, he nevertheless knows that he does not have much time left, that a deadline has been fixed for him, and in his darkness he believes that in this short period of time he can still achieve to dethrone Me and to accede to the throne himself. And therefore he will not shy at any means nor will he stop at anyone …. But one thing can keep him back: when you stand in My circle of light …. He cannot fight My light and therefore he tries everything to bring the light bearers down. But if you are vigilant, then you only ever turn your eyes and hearts towards Me …. then My light of love can shine into you even more intensely and My adversary will flee from it. You should watch and pray and he will not get anywhere with you ….

Amen

The sacrificial death of Jesus Christ was an unique event …. But its effect extended to all ages, to the past, present and future …. What the man Jesus did was unique and will never be repeated, for it was a spiritual act which was displayed in an earthly manner because people had to take note of it if they wanted to participate in the effects of an event which was incomparable. Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross had a spiritual meaning and spiritual consequences, and it was suffered with spiritual strength, just as the unspeakable suffering and torment before could only be endured by a person who possessed this spiritual strength. It was love which enabled the human being Jesus to endure a measure of suffering which every other human being would have succumbed to …. It was love which recognised the necessity of such a sacrifice, and it was love which moved a soul of light to walk the way to the cross on earth for people …. But the act of Salvation by the man Jesus has been accomplished for all ages and will therefore also only be unique, for the spiritual cause underlying the act of Salvation now had its effect and a repetition is therefore not necessary any more, because all people of the past, present and future can participate, because all can avail themselves of the graces which the man Jesus acquired on the cross, and because His act of mercy will never ever fall into oblivion …. precisely because it was not just a human event but because God Himself died for people in Jesus and therefore this very act was and is unique. For a long time people had to live on this earth in sin and hardship before the Saviour Jesus Christ took pity on people, but redemption was also brought to all those people through the sacrificial death …. For a long time people also still dwell in darkness because they are under the sway of God’s adversary …. But one day the redemptive work of Jesus will also bring them deliverance, and though an endless number of creatures will still have to walk the earthly path …. all of them will one day be seized by God’s mercy and find redemption from sin and death through Jesus Christ, Who also died for the people of the future …. For they will always and at any time receive knowledge of the greatest work of love, only it will always and at any time also be up to the individual whether he avails himself of the graces of this work of Salvation. Jesus’ sacrificial path compensated for all of humanity’s sins, for it was so immeasurably agonising because an angel of light passed through the deepest depths, because not only the human body but also a pure soul had to suffer indescribably and because no human being could endure this degree of suffering, and therefore the act of Salvation by the man Jesus is to be valued completely differently and will not lose its value in eternity. This gift of grace is offered to every human being, every human being can utilise it, and every human being must accept it if he wants to be saved …. And therefore every person can feel touched by God’s love when Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation is presented to him, then he will be given an indication where he can seek and find his salvation …. For the sacrifice of the cross must also have been made for him, and this includes the human being acknowledging the divine Jesus Christ and placing himself under His cross …. And therefore the act of Salvation needs but to be repeated in the human being’s heart …. he must think of Jesus and His greater than great love, which made the sacrifice for him, and he must want the act of mercy to include him as well, which will never lose its redeeming power. And the human being will be released from all guilt, no matter how great it is before God …. He Who died on the cross for love for humanity has also redeemed this guilt if it is repentantly presented to Him ….

Amen

You will be unable to demonstrate any noteworthy success at the end of your earthly life if you have travelled the broad road, if you have joined other travellers without first having asked where the path of the masses is leading to …. For then you will be mere conformists who believe that they can shift their responsibility onto other people, onto those who lead the crowds. Each individual person will come upon crossroads during his life on earth, and each time some of his companions will turn off, and then the human being will have to decide for himself which direction he wants to take …. For as long as he merely remains a conformist for the rest of his life he will have gained nothing for the salvation of his soul. This is why church organisations can never guarantee that their members will reach beatitude, for this has to be pursued and attained by every person himself, and although he can indeed be appropriately instructed every person nevertheless has to do the work of improving his soul himself …. that is, everyone will then have to take his own path of ascent.

It is a big mistake for a person to think that he can pass the responsibility for his soul on to alleged leaders, to only ever comply with the requests of these leaders and to believe that this is ‘conscious psychological work’ …. And it is an even bigger mistake to believe that people should not scrutinise these leaders’ requests, that they should unconditionally accept or believe everything that those in authority portray as truth …. And even if it is the truth, every human being should form his own opinion of it, for only then will he be able to recognise when error creeps in and guard against it. But anyone who entirely relies on what definitely must be scrutinised should not assume that his omission will be excused, he should not assume that he can transfer his blame onto those who have guided him wrongly, for everyone can see the paths branching off and can take these just as easily as the trodden one, but he always needs to ask himself where the different paths will lead to and then make a conscious choice.

However, anyone who keeps his eyes to the ground and thoughtlessly follows the crowds can miss the crossroads, and then it will be his fault as well, for he is supposed to be watchful himself, he is not meant to walk blindly since he was given the gift of sight …. And he is supposed to think, because this is why he was given intellect, which he should use for attaining his salvation. And you also should know that the path of the masses will never be the right path …. For the masses are led by God’s adversary and the truth will never be found there. If only you humans would bear in mind that the adversary dominates on earth and that far more people belong to him than to God …. If only people’s wickedness, heartlessness and spiritual low level would make you realise much power he has over the human race …. Then, if you were seriously striving to reach your salvation, you would not move with the crowds, you would separate yourselves and find a path which leads in a different direction …. You would pay attention to the messengers who lead the way with a light in order to illuminate the path …. you would not be satisfied; you would think for yourselves and become ever more enlightened.

Shake off your indifference where it concerns your souls’ salvation …. Don’t let others take care of you for your soul is your own responsibility, of which no one can relieve you. Try to contact God Himself, choose Him as your Leader, liberate yourselves from those who want to be His representatives on earth, for His true representatives will only ever advise you to establish your own connection with God, but false representatives want to relieve you of your responsibility and just demand blind obedience from you and the fulfilment of their own commandments …. If you want to attain bliss then you will have to take the paths which lead to beatitude yourselves; you have to appeal to God to show you the right paths and to give you the strength to take them, even if they lead uphill …. And God will also send the right guides to meet you, He will draw you to Himself, and you will safely reach the right goal ….

Amen

Again and again I pour out My Spirit into the hearts of those who open themselves to Me, who have prepared their hearts for Me so that I can make My dwelling in them, who love Me and want to have proof of My love for them …. I pour out My Spirit on all flesh …. Yet the redemption through Jesus Christ must have preceded that you are now delivered from My adversary, that you have the strength and the will to shape yourselves into a receptacle for My spirit, and I Myself can now also work in you. The working of My spirit is impossible in an unredeemed state, for it requires a certain degree of maturity of your soul which, however, you will never be able to achieve without the help of the divine Redeemer, which is why you must avail yourselves of the graces of His act of Salvation, which at the same time means that you hand yourselves over to Him and appeal to Him that He may also have died for you so that you will be released from the burden of sin which still binds you to My adversary …. But if you are freed from him, then I can also take possession of you, then I can make My power of love flow into you again, as once before you fell, and then I can also pour out My Spirit upon you …. I can speak to you and give you full understanding for everything, I can brighten your thinking, I can impart strength to you in abundance so that you can perform works of love …. I can disclose knowledge to you which enables you to instruct your fellow human beings, I can initiate you into My eternal plan of Salvation and give you knowledge of what lies ahead of you …. I can train you to be capable labourers in My vineyard and assign you tasks which serve the salvation of your fellow human beings …. Thus I can speak to you directly and you can now constantly keep up contact with Me, I can be constantly present in you …. And I gave you this promise when I walked on earth, that I will stay with you until the end …. I may have left you physically, I have ascended to heaven, but I have sent you the one I promised you: My spirit, the Comforter, which always reminds you of Me, which teaches you again, as once, and which, above all, presents the significance of My act of Salvation to you, because this is the most important thing in your earthly life, that you acknowledge Him, Jesus Christ, Who died for you on the cross, Who was only a shell for Me in which I incarnated Myself, because I wanted to redeem you from sin and death. Anyone who is not enlightened by My spirit will not grasp the profound significance of the act of Salvation either. But there will always be people into whom I can pour out My spirit, and therefore Jesus’ death on the cross will always be emphasised …. never will His act of Salvation fall into oblivion, because My spirit keeps on announcing it anew in order to point Him out to people, Who alone is your Redeemer and to Whom they must hand themselves over in order to be released from a power which otherwise keeps you captive eternally …. I will stay with you until the end of the world …. How else can it be understood than that I dwell with you in spirit, that I Myself am present to you and reveal Myself to you? And all of you can prepare your hearts for Me as a dwelling place, all of you could serve Me as a receptacle of My spirit, for I want to pour out My spirit on all flesh which makes itself worthy to receive Me Myself ….

Amen

The way home can be long and comfortable but also short and arduous, depending on how serious you are of reaching your goal …. But you can also quite easily walk a completely wrong way if you don’t care where you go to …. A difficult path will never lead into the abyss, for the one who wants to entice you to descend shows you ways which are appealing to walk …. He will never lure you to himself with a difficult path. This is why it should always give you cause for concern if your earthly path is far too easy and full of joy; then you should always ask yourselves whether you are on the right path, whether it is the path to your eternal home. But you are generally satisfied as long as your earthly life gives to you what you desire, and then you will rarely consider the life of your soul after death …. But you should be concerned …. If you want to reach higher spheres then your ascent must require strength, it will never be possible to cover it effortlessly unless you completely hand yourselves over to Me and let Me be your guide. In that case you will not feel the effort of ascending quite so much and yet your path will lead upwards …. Therefore, take notice of the fact that an even path can never lead to the goal …. and humbly accept all adversities and difficulties, for they guarantee you a path of ascent, to Me, Who should never be searched for below but only ever above.

And also beware that you do not divert from these ascending paths onto the wide and comfortable road again, for you can change your goal at any time, the opportunity will always be offered to you to change from the broad path onto the narrow path which cannot be effortlessly walked; just as the reverse is always possible, for My adversary will never stop enticing you and time and again will show you appealing regions to prompt you to direct your steps to where he wants you to go …. An all too easy earthly life with all kinds of earthly joys and pleasures is such a wide and easily passable path, which certainly can still be exchanged before the end of your life on earth with the steep path towards ascent, but although the achievement of the goal can still be possible it is nevertheless very doubtful, for no person knows when his earthly life will be over and whether he will still have the opportunity at the end to turn onto the narrow path towards ascent. No-one knows whether he can ever catch up on the missed time or whether he will still be able to change the direction of his goal in his earthly life …. This is why you should not be envious of any fellow human being who lives a carefree earthly life which constantly seems full of joy …. He is not on the right path yet, he is still too much taken care of by the one who wants to lure him into the abyss …. And yet, guided by My hand, you too can enjoy your earthly life, but your joys and wishes will be different ones than those which you observe with your fellow human beings. For the gifts distributed by Me are of a different kind but they can make the person far happier than material possessions …. And at the same time they give you the necessary strength you need for the path of ascent …. And you will truly not make a bad choice if you decide quite early to turn off the broad way onto the narrow and seemingly impassable path towards ascent …. For then you will no longer desire what you have left behind …. You will look upwards and follow the light, and you will safely reach the goal, to Me in your Father’s house ….

Amen

You do not know God’s love and mercy and His unceasing efforts to help you, His creatures, from the depths to the heights. He wants to leave nothing in the depths, everything that once fell shall return to Him again in order to be able to be unspeakably blissful in His nearness. What is separated from Him, what is at a great distance from Him, is unhappy and moves Him to pity …. And His love enticingly calls for this wretched creature to turn to Him again, from Whom it had voluntarily turned away …. Yet everything happens without coercion, it is not possible to force those beings to return to God, the return to Him can only be achieved through love, but that it will happen some day is certain, for God’s love will not relinquish anything that is His, that has emerged from Him. But because only love can influence the fallen being in that way that it voluntarily returns, therefore the irradiation of love must touch the being again and again until it opens itself and is determined by the power of love to approach God again. And this process takes place in earthly life when the human being becomes aware of the fact that he is guided and led by a higher Power, that he now hands himself over to this Power and follows his inner voice, which is a silent address from God …. Then his resistance is broken and the being is on the path of return to God …. for now God’s love draws it, and His mercy also helps the still unworthy to ascend. God’s love is infinite …. And therefore no being can be lost forever …. God’s love and His mercy pursue that which has sunk into the abyss, and that is why there is also ransom from hell, because God’s love is greater than the sinner’s guilt …. and because mercy wants to compensate for the fallen being’s weakness, and that is why every being is wooed by God’s love until it opens itself and allows a ray to work in it. And then the spell is also broken, for love has great power. This is why people must not speak of an ‘eternal damnation’ …. For eternal damnation presupposes a severe, unloving judge who deprives the being of all freedom and mercilessly passes his sentence …. But God does not want the state in which the wretched finds itself, into which it has fallen through its own fault, in free will …. God wants to save the wretched from it, He wants to lead it to salvation, He wants to irradiate it with His love, and His mercy does not make a distinction as to the magnitude of the guilt of sin. But He does not force any being into salvation …. And therefore such wretched states can also last eternities, for they must be ended by the being itself …. You humans can believe that all help will be granted to them, because God’s love is infinite and will never diminish or decrease, no matter how long His creations persevere in resistance …. God is not angry but He takes pity on the unhappiness of those creatures, yet He cannot put them into a state of bliss exercising His power because this would neither correspond to His justice nor to His creatures’ freedom of will …. Thus He will only try to influence the souls’ will in that way that they will voluntarily turn to Him …. But then a complete return is also guaranteed, for God’s love is so powerful that it conquers everything where only its effectiveness is permitted …. And one day every being will have returned to Him, one day even the abyss will have to release everything, because God’s love is stronger than hatred and because even God’s adversary will one day voluntarily turn to God again, even though this will still take eternities, but God’s love will defeat him.

Amen

You should diligently endeavour to attain the gifts of the spirit, for they cannot be given to you; you will have to acquire them by preparing yourselves such that My spirit will be able to work in you. Don’t think that you can receive them if you failed to do the work of improving your soul, if your nature has not sufficiently changed that it has become love …. Your soul must have reached a specific degree of maturity before My spirit can work in you, and this degree of maturity requires your firm will to live entirely in keeping with My commandments on earth, it requires self-denial, selflessly helping your neighbour, a complete turning towards Me …. Only then will I be able to pour out My spirit over you, and then will the human being be able to receive the gifts of the spirit for which he is particularly qualified and which will determine his future work for Me and My kingdom. All of you can partake in the gifts of the spirit, for all of you are called to diligently co-operate in the work for the kingdom of God …. But only a few are chosen …. Only a few fulfil the conditions which is followed by the working of My spirit, only a few take the work of improving their souls so seriously that they shape themselves into a receiving vessel for My spirit, and therefore I can endow only a few with the gifts of the spirit …. But anyone who is in possession of it is already blissfully happy on earth, for he knows himself to be in heartfelt contact with Me, he knows I Myself Am working in him and he will successfully work for My kingdom.

However, you humans cannot prove your affiliation to the church of Christ …. to the church I Myself established on earth …. in any other way but through the possession of a spiritual gift, for this is the characteristic of My church. Various gifts testify to the working of My spirit; but a seemingly extraordinary strength will always become evident, an ability will surface in the human being which he has not acquired through application or study or physical exertion but which was clearly ‘given’ to him …. be it, that he performs miracles, heals the sick, teaches with wisdom or has the gift of prophesy ….

They all prove their membership to the church of Christ by their living faith which had arisen from love and thus they are in heartfelt contact with Me Myself, so that I can work through My spirit as I consider beneficial for their and their fellow human being’s salvation of soul. Hence you humans need only seriously strive to attain a living faith …. and therefore live a life of love …. Then you will do whatever it takes to gain your soul’s degree of maturity and also become aware of My presence in you and, as a result of this awareness, also have remarkable strength at your disposal which I allocate to you such that it will be conducive to you and your vicinity …. And anyone who thus has acquired an unusual gift of the spirit will also be a loyal labourer in My vineyard, for he will work with this gift in order to lead his fellow human beings into a living faith in Me in Jesus Christ …. For every person enlightened by My spirit will always testify to the divine Redeemer, because redemption through Him must have preceded before My spirit will be able to work, before the gifts of the spirit can be distributed …. and because only a person redeemed by Jesus’ blood also has the strength to so work at improving his soul that it will attain the required degree of maturity to receive gifts of the spirit …. With the help of Jesus Christ all people can and will succeed …. And for that reason every spiritually-awakened person will proclaim the One Who promised His spirit …. And every person who can exhibit a spiritual gift bears witness to the fact that he found salvation through Jesus Christ from the night of death, for My strength is working in him, My light shines within him, I Myself Am in him and work through My spirit ….

Amen

My spirit reveals to you what you need to know in order to be saved. You must be spoken to by Me Myself in order to hear about My will, for I alone can explain to you why you must first enter into My will, why only a life according to My will can lead you to salvation. As long as you humans have not reached the degree of maturity again which ensures brightest light for you, thus full realisation, you must be taught how to attain this degree of maturity, and only the One Who knows everything can teach you truthfully …. And therefore I reveal Myself to you …. It is My bliss to guide you into knowledge, yet again, knowledge alone is not of use to you but you must first fulfil My will, only then can knowledge become comprehensible to you, only then will you experience knowledge as a light …. But My will is only that you move within the eternal order …. and My eternal order again is a life of love …. My will is only that you practise love, then you will move within My eternal order, and then you will also reach the degree of maturity which will bring you light, i.e. brightest realisation …. You can now certainly also accept such a knowledge from your fellow human beings …. But do you know whether it corresponds to the truth? Do you know whether the people who teach you have already reached that degree of maturity which guarantees them a bright light? Do you know whether originally pure truth is still offered to you unadulterated? Therefore you must also then take the path to Me and appeal to Me for illuminated thinking and right assessment of that knowledge …. And thus I Myself must reveal Myself to you …. I must always first contact you Myself, but this is only possible if you come to Me, if you establish the connection with Me yourselves, because I do not restrict your free will …. You can certainly also just believe your fellow human beings and do what you have been taught as ‘My will’ …. And then you will also recognise by the effect your way of life has whether this knowledge is truth, whether it originates in Me, and then you will also have approached Me and established the connection with Me, and then it will also be possible for Me to reveal Myself to you, whereas untrue teachings will not bring you spiritual progress and you will stay away from Me …. You must know of My will and live according to My will. And if you are of good will yourselves then you will also want to seek Me and know of My will, and then I can also reveal Myself …. by guiding your thinking right if you cannot hear My direct address …. He Who created you is also in constant contact with you, otherwise you would not be able to exist …. He Who created you, He, however, also wants you to desire to be united with Him …. He does not want you to isolate yourselves from Him, even though you lead an independent existence …. He wants you to hand yourselves over to Him despite your independence, to desire to be in intimate communion with Him, for He Who created you loves you and also desires your love …. And because I love you I also constantly seek to reveal Myself to you in whatever way it may be …. I always seek to direct your thoughts towards your God and Creator, towards your Father, and I always seek to induce you to establish the bond with Me so that I can make My will known to you, the fulfilment of which will bring you unlimited bliss …. But I do not force you, I want you to come to Me voluntarily, that love for Me determines you to seek union with Me, for only love guarantees salvation ….

Amen

You enter into contact with Me when you rise your thoughts to Me, but this bond can be severed again at any time because your thoughts never linger on the same subject for long and therefore the will has to be active again and again so that your thoughts deal with Me. But it is different when you establish the connection with Me through loving activity …. Then you yourselves draw Me to you, and then you also receive My power of love which chains you to Me ever more, so that the bond cannot be loosened so easily. For anyone who has once kindled love within himself will also nourish the small flame, he will not be satisfied with some work of love but will precisely be stimulated by My power, by My presence, to ever new loving activity. Love is truly the firmest bond which unites you to Me. But a person who repeatedly raises his thoughts to Me will likewise be stimulated to work with love, for his thinking of Me, of his God and Creator, is always a sign of a good attitude, and such mental bonds, if established frequently, will not fail to have an effect on his will and thinking, which will inevitably move along paths which correspond to My will. The bond with Me can never fail to have good effects, and therefore it cannot be recommended to people sufficiently; but the most powerful effect will always be works of love. In every situation in life the human being is offered the opportunity to unite with Me, and anyone of good will will also make use of the opportunities …. But as long as the human being’s thoughts concern other goals, as long as the human being lives in self-love, he does not seek Me but keeps himself separate from Me, and as soon as he lacks any bond with Me he is still under the sway of My adversary, who directs his will wrong and therefore is an influence on him, because the human being cannot resist him, because he has no strength which arises from his loving activity only …. because I Myself cannot assist him, for he makes My presence impossible through his wrong will and thinking. There are two goals which the human being can strive for in thought, but both goals are fundamentally different …. If, however, I Myself am the goal of his thoughts, then the human being can record a great plus at the end of his earthly life, for the bond with Me also yields him a great treasure of grace which precisely presupposes the human being’s willingness in order to be utilised. I truly do everything to turn the human being’s thoughts towards Me in earthly life …. to prompt his activity of love, yet My adversary leaves no stone unturned either …. And the human being himself is the deciding factor, for his will is free. But his life will be an idle one if he does not find his way to Me …. whereas it can also be richly blessed if he unites with Me in thought and ensures My presence through loving activity …. For then he will remain connected to Me forever ….

Amen

The higher development of the soul is the human being’s task on earth …. Yet only few are aware of it, only few question the purpose and goal of their existence …. The majority only strive for prosperity, for everything that provides the body with a sense of well-being. But all people have the gift of intellect, all people would be able to question themselves about the purpose and goal of earthly life, and all people would also receive an answer …. for it is the first step of ascent. However, since people think no further than their death, since they seldom believe in their soul’s life after death, the question of their earthly welfare is more important to them and they consider their earthly activity and work a priority …. They lack faith …. for even if they had just a little faith they would not find inner peace regardless of their earthly comfort …. The more the end approaches the less faith can be found amongst people ….

This is why unusually devout people will arise in the last days who can also carry out unusual feats and draw people’s attention to themselves, for God will truly still try everything so as to help those who just require such unusual stimulation in order to become aware of the purpose of their lives. These people are beings of light who are embodied on earth for the purpose of a mission, who want to remedy people’s adversity and therefore live on earth in the flesh without realising their origin. Their strong bond with God which they, however, establish voluntarily as human beings just like all their fellow humans would be able to do, gives them extraordinary strength …. For they have a loving nature and thus their belief is so alive that it expresses itself in unusual activity …. by proclaiming Jesus Christ with a living faith and in practical help of body and soul in His name …. On account of such people many can still come to believe, for they clearly demonstrate a strength which cannot be explained in an earthly way. People shall be helped to find faith and simultaneously shown the path to God for which, in view of the entirely incredulous human race, unusual means must be used which nevertheless will not force them to believe.

More and more awakened people will prove their strength of faith the nearer it is to the end …. Until a bright light begins to shine …. Until someone appears who announces the imminent arrival of the Lord and prepares the way for Him again …. His light will shine brightly in all directions …. For his appearance will soon become known, and although he will be a source of strength and comfort to many people, the majority will nevertheless meet him with hostility since they belong to God’s adversary and on his instruction take action against everything of a divinely-spiritual nature and particularly persecute those who speak in Jesus’ name and proclaim the near end …. Yet precisely because God’s adversary will proceed with extraordinary brutality during the last battle on this earth, the extraordinary light will be sent to earth …. once again a spirit of light will embody itself on this earth as it is written …. Once again he will precede the Lord and proclaim His coming, and once again he will make himself known as a ‘voice in the wilderness’ …. And he will know who he is yet unassumingly live his earthly life, which will also be sealed with his death again.

But all people faithful to God will draw strength from him and time and again be lifted up when the adversity of the time seems to knock them down …. For he speaks on God’s instructions …. God Himself speaks through him to people. They will also realise the important mission of Jesus Christ’s forerunner and therefore fully consciously expect the Lord’s arrival and won’t doubt that they will be delivered from greatest distress. By the time the former appears the time will have come which has been constantly announced by seers and prophets, for when he comes the adversary’s activity, which affects the believers so extraordinarily, will be so obvious that they will also need extraordinary help …. For he will let his light shine, sending its rays far and wide …. People everywhere will hear about him and the believers will know who hides behind this light, and thus they will also know which hour has struck. Yet despite hostility and a ban on speaking Jesus Christ’s forerunner will continue steadfastly along his course …. He speaks on God’s instructions and recognises no other Lord than the One he serves …. And his speeches will ignite hearts; they will strengthen the weak to muster the courage to die for their belief ….

However, every human life rests in God’s hand …. He alone knows when the hour of deliverance will strike, when His coming to earth and the removal of His Own will take place …. And His forerunner, too, knows his end but even his death will still be a service to his Lord …. For he will bring the work of glorification to completion, as a result of his death God’s might and glory will be revealed …. For only One rules over life and death and this One will prove Himself as Lord, as victor over His adversary when the last day comes …. He will give life to those who believe in Him …. and all who are enslaved by His adversary will fall prey to death ….

Amen

It is an eternal law that the fallen original spirits must reach height again, because all power which has been radiated by God also irrevocably returns to God, because this is law in itself that radiated power of love flows towards its source from eternity again and exactly therefore all spiritual beings also take this path, even though in completely different periods of time, because the being itself decides when to return. But it does not eternally remain distant from God, because the distance from God is a state of weakness and confinement, the radiated power, however, must become effective according to its own destiny …. thus in incessant activity the created being walks the path back to its place of origin …. The being which has fallen into the abyss would never decide to become active itself because it feels completely powerless and because no tiny ray of knowledge shines for it …. That is why God puts this being into a working process …. Thus it now carries out a certain activity in a state of compulsion, thus the once radiated power begins to work to a small degree, and this effectiveness testifies to a faint life …. what is completely hardened, thus so to speak has died, stirs and now proves a beginning life. (27.5.1956) And now the upward development begins, for awakening life spreads, and every activity produces new life again, or it contributes to the preservation of it. And this power, which has now thus become effective, is proven in creation where nothing remains unchanged but everything reveals life and further development. Creation is the reservoir of power, for all power once radiated by God, which became ineffective through the separation of the spiritual from God, has been transformed …. The creatural was dissolved and in innumerable small and smallest forms was admitted to activity again …. Every spark of power was assigned an activity, and what was once rigid, hardened, began to stir …. The state of death was broken for the time being because God Himself is life and because His radiation of power cannot remain ineffective forever …. But the power now bound in the works of creation now remains active and in union becomes capable of ever stronger activity …. so that life in creation also becomes more and more recognisable, i.e. that more and more individual beings develop which have already gathered many of the spiritual particles within themselves and therefore also become more and more similar to the once fallen original spirit until it recognises itself in the last form as a human being who has now united all soul substances belonging to him within himself …. Now the power of love once radiated by God, the being, has again reached the degree of effectiveness where it can freely increase this degree by constantly accepting the power flowing to it from God, and thereby the return of power to God takes place …. And then the divine law will have been fulfilled, which means undreamed-of bliss. But the cycle can also be interrupted …. The power possessed by the creatural, the once fallen original spirit, can be used in a negative sense, which would result in a renewed relapse into the abyss …. and this cycle can keep on repeating …. Endless periods of time can pass until the last uniting with God in free will has taken place. But the law remains valid that all power which has emanated from God returns to God …. that it is one day used in the right way, and even if eternities pass, however long the fallen being resists. God is life, and what emanates from God can also only ever be life …. It can indeed fall into a dead state if it prevents the effectiveness of God’s irradiation of love through its resistance, but then the being, which is no longer aware of itself, is forced into activity in its individual substances, and then these individual particles awaken to life and the resistance slowly decreases …. And thus the individual being which once came forth from God …. the fallen original spirit …. also comes to life again. But the last uniting with God in free will, the final re-radiation of the power to its origin, must be striven for by that individual being itself, which is why the cycle can also take endless periods of time, but some day will certainly be completed ….

Amen

You will still have to experience the world very bitterly if you don’t learn to despise it of your own accord, for as long as you love the world it will be of great danger to you …. And if I want to save you from this danger then I will have to ensure that you will loose your love for the world. I have to cause you suffering and pain by using the world itself so as to make you aware of the fact that it is not helping but controlling you, so that you will experience its dominance painfully and withdraw from it by yourselves. Much is yet to happen that will make you understand My Words, for that which you presently consider an increased enjoyment of life will so get out of hand that you would gladly forgo the pleasures in order to be relieved from the great physical risks …. You will have no more security, since people’s lust for life who are enslaved by My adversary will escalate to a point that it will override all thoughtful concern for others, that everyone will only consider himself at the expense of his neighbour and frequently place the latter into a position of danger which he can no longer evade. That which you strive for with all your senses will become your downfall. And for as long as you make this world and its commodities your sole purpose of life you will not want to loose your mortal life either and try to prolong it in every possible way …. Nevertheless it will still encumber you such that you will yearn for an end …. But only those who do not completely belong to My adversary as yet will find life burdensome and frightening.

And that which I announce in advance will happen for their sake, so that their lust for the world will diminish and they will reflect on themselves, for these last few will need strong means of help otherwise they, too, will completely fall prey to the world, otherwise they will become the ‘hammer’ themselves who before had been the ‘anvil’ …. People should consider themselves lucky to suffer damage ‘by means of the world’, for they are the people I want to save from the world. But anyone who has fallen prey to it already will ruthlessly and recklessly only assert himself …. An era is dawning such as has never been experienced on this earth before …. human life counts for nothing anymore, the laws of humanity are no longer sacred to anyone who committed himself to the world, thus to My adversary. The belongings of fellow human beings will not be respected and as a result people will unscrupulously experiment, exploit and enjoy anything that will give them an advantage regardless of whether it will cause damage to another person’s body or possessions. And I will allow it to happen, because My concern does not apply to the body but to the human being’s soul …. and if it can be saved by these means then it will thank Me for it one day, even if it had to suffer excessively on earth. People cannot be spared this suffering in the last days, for as long as there is still an available means to release the souls from the adversary’s nets I will also use this means or allow it to happen, albeit it is effectively My adversary’s activity on people who already belong to him …. And if people think that they are advanced then the great destructions which will be triggered will prove the opposite to them …. Yet he who is blind sees nothing and does not want to see anything either, however, the hour on the clock of the world will be obvious to him who can see ….

Amen

The greatest benefit of your earthly life is the union with Me. You must see your goal in it, and you must not rest until the union with Me has taken place …. You can bring about this union consciously and unconsciously but you must always believe in Me first. You must acknowledge Me as a Being with Whom you now desire to have contact. This desire in you is already proof that the will, which initially still belonged to My adversary, has turned towards Me. And as soon as you now mentally occupy yourselves with Me you consciously unite yourselves with Me, even if the right bond first requires that you first transform yourselves, that you make an effort to adapt your nature to Mine, because I can only unite with perfection, but this perfection can also be achieved by you …. Hence you first must shape yourselves into love, because My fundamental nature is love. But as soon as you mentally establish the bond with Me, as soon as you pray to Me, strength will also come to you to be able to accomplish this change of your nature. Your will now is Mine and therefore I can give you strength, which was not possible before, since belonging to My adversary also implies resistance at the same time, i.e. defence against My power of love. Therefore, the change of will is necessary first, only then the change of nature can happen, which requires Me bestowing power. My power, however, is the radiation of love …. and it will have an effect again in loving activity …. As soon as you carry out works of love you make use of this power and thereby draw Me Myself ever closer to you …. I am Love Itself, and therefore the uniting with Me can only take place when love joins love …., just as no work of love can be accomplished without Me. For this reason you can also unconsciously establish union with Me if you live in love, even if you do not mentally seek the bond with Me …. Yet such thoughts will certainly arise in you later and will not leave you any more, for the conscious acknowledgement of Me Myself must take place so that you can be saved, and it will also take place where I Myself can be close to the human being because he works with love and thus makes use of My power. It is not so difficult to find this union for the person who is not dominated by selfish love, but it is difficult where selfish love prevents the person from unselfish neighbourly love …. Thus My adversary dominates the human being’s thoughts there, no ray of love from Me has access there, I am still far away and the bond with Me is neither established willingly, thus consciously, nor unconsciously. And without love the human being is still so imperfect in his nature that I Myself cannot unite with him …. Then the human being will not reach his goal on earth, and it will also be difficult to bring him to think differently in the kingdom of the beyond, for as long as he is dominated by selfish love he will not be touched by the hardship of other souls either, and he will never be able to receive strength because he will never allow the will to help to arise within himself. Therefore the most important and also most difficult battle on earth is the battle with oneself, the battle against wrongly directed love, which must be changed into complete unselfishness in order to be capable of being addressed as ‘love’ which changes nature. Where only an attempt is made I will help out with My power, for love must find love, only then will you be able to unite with Me and remain united forever ….

Amen

Every person believes himself to be walking the right path, and this belief is all the stronger the further away the person is from Me, for the one who has already come close to Me is full of humility, and he will always feel deficient and never believe to live his life entirely according to My will …. he will never be satisfied with himself and therefore constantly strive for perfection. But if every person possessed this realisation of his shortcomings, then he would also have to admit that his path can still be wrong …. He then would not go through earthly life so convinced that he is on the right path. But most people suffer from arrogance, humility is alien to them. And their arrogant mind is expressed in not wanting to accept any teachings, advice, and hints, but considering themselves entitled to convert others to their views. Only those who have entered humility turn to Me and ask Me for instruction and help …. which, however, the others refrain from doing because they do not believe they need help and teachings and are not fully convinced of My Being either. For faith in Me as a supremely perfect Being would make them aware of their great distance from this Being …. But unbelief and arrogance are the characteristics of the one who controls them. And he consciously leads them wrong ways and they willingly follow him because they are of the same spirit. Yet there are also people who seek Me on wrong paths …. who do not take the path of truth but believe they are walking the path of truth. They, too, still lack the humility to entrust themselves to a guide who will lead them to the goal safely …. They, too, do not take the path directly to Me by asking Me Myself for My guidance but blindly follow those who lead them the way, who have not entered humility themselves, whom I therefore could not properly instruct where to go either …. These are therefore only to be regarded as followers who do not even wonder whether they are being guided right by their leaders, and, such a question arising, turn to Me Myself for an answer …. No-one should miss to do so who is not a unbeliever …. every one of them should call upon Me Myself for My guidance but not thoughtlessly go along and rely on leaders who are completely incompetent for this function. As long as a person believes he is walking right who has not handed himself over to Me and My guidance beforehand, he will be guided by My adversary …. And his followers are always clearly recognisable by the arrogance which characterises these people, that they do not open themselves to loving enlightenment, that they believe they do not need any instructions and that they are satisfied with sayings and empty dogmas which, on serious examination, lack all wisdom. Humility, however, turns to Me, the humble person recognises and confesses his deficient state which he would certainly like to remedy but feels too weak to do so himself without My help …. And thus I can give to him according to his faith, I can distribute to him what he lacks and guide him because he allows himself to be guided without resistance …. And he will certainly reach the goal, for he has already proven through his humility that he has detached himself from him whose nature is arrogance …. His humility made him take refuge in My heart, and I will now also take care of him until he has reached his goal ….

Amen

The work for Me and My kingdom has to be carried out diligently since time is pressing and many shall still be won before the end …. And world events also contribute to the fact that people could become reflective and listen to My Gospel, providing a living sermon is given by those who are spiritually awake. In fact, only such people can be successful during the last days, lifeless preachers are more likely to achieve a reduction in faith than an awakening of their listeners …. Because they do not even preach on My behalf, but they have anointed themselves as ‘servants of the Lord’, which they cannot be as long as My spirit does not work in them, as long as they have not let My spirit awaken them, which, however, demands a life of love. Only the evidence of life can produce life again ….

And My Word has to be given to people as a living sermon in order to revive them, it has to be offered to them such that they feel the strength of the Word and thus feel motivated to comply with it. They have to feel addressed by Me Myself and this is only possible if I Myself can speak to them through the mouth of an awakened servant …. And this is incomprehensible and unknown to those who pretend to be My representatives on earth and yet proclaim a rigidly lifeless Gospel to people …. who merely use the words which I once spoke to the people, but which are thoroughly without life because they are without the spirit which will bring them to life first. Only a few of them speak effectively when they live a true life of love and by doing so also achieve illumination of thought …. And if these people allowed themselves to be wholly embraced by Me they too could become true representatives of My teaching on earth …. But they have problems finding the path to Me, which must lead directly from the heart to Me, and not through an elaborately devised structure which they call ‘church’ ….

You humans don’t want to hear the truth, but once you have sincerely and trustingly taken this direct path to Me you will never need to regret it …. Yet I can only give this advice to those who have abundant love, because only then can I speak to them, because then My spirit will descend and then they can also be My true representatives …. There is a lot of work still to be done, and I keep urging this vineyard labour to be done, time and again I seek to attract labourers willing to serve Me faithfully …. And I will also tell them what qualities are required by those who are needed to work in this vineyard …. They must have a living faith which was brought alive by love. For I Myself have to be able to work in them otherwise their work will be in vain …. Speaking My Words is of no avail if the life reviving strength does not flow from them at the same time, and life can only be given by God, Who is life Himself …. Thus every messenger of My Gospel has to allow and enable Me to speak through him Myself.

He has to unite with Me so sincerely though love so that I will then be present in him and speak through him when he opens his mouth to preach My Word …. He should not assume that My presence is a matter of course if he merely uses My Words which, without My spirit, are just empty letters …. He has to ask for My spirit beforehand by consciously uniting with Me and then facilitating My presence through unselfish works of love …. And an inconceivable blessing will emanate to all who listen to him, because then they will hear Me Myself and can be touched by the strength of My Word so that they come alive themselves …. And then they will no longer be in danger of getting lost, because whatever has become alive on this earth cannot lose its life again …. whatever has escaped death has escaped the one who had once subjected it to death …. But then it will live forever ….

Amen

Darkness cannot withstand the eternal light …. One day the rays of the eternal light will break through even the greatest darkness, and it will break forth victoriously, and an eternal day will shine in brilliant light for all the creatural …. But the night will have been dispelled for ever and ever …. For the eternal light has a victorious power. But this power inherent in light will not break through as long as a counter-acting force still works in the darkness which repels all light radiation. For He from Whom the light emanates …. Who Himself is the Light from eternity …. He pursues a purpose with the supply of His light. He does not arbitrarily send it to places where it is not desired, nor does He allow it to break through with all force because then it would have a compelling effect and not correspond to His purpose. But the resistance of the opposing force weakens more and more when the creatural in the dark areas longs for light, which is then also supplied to it. But in immeasurable periods of time the resistance will be lifted completely because every ray of light has exerted its effect, and brightly illuminated areas have arisen in the midst of darkness from which the ray effect likewise emanates again and increasingly chases away the darkness. The light will triumph, but it takes its time over it …. For the light is God Himself, and for Him a thousand years are like a day …. He does not use force, He also takes the compelling power away from His divine light of love, because He does not send it forth in all its radiant glow but always only effective to the extent that it is beneficial to the creatural irradiated by Him. Light is life, darkness is death …. One day the dead will irrevocably have come to life, yet life must be desired or the life-awakening power will not be accepted. Eternal Love will not rest until It has returned to all the dead the life it once possessed; but It also leaves the dead its freedom of will, and thus this freedom of will determines the degree of the irradiation of love, which is why eternities will still pass until the light of day will have completely chased away the dark night …. But only a state of being filled with light can bring bliss, for bliss can only be found in the union with God, and union with God also implies the constant overflowing of His brightest light of love onto the being. But what God …. the Eternal Love …. now seeks to achieve, His adversary now seeks to prevent because he is destitute of all love …. He is the ruler of darkness, just as God Himself is the Light from eternity. And therefore darkness incessantly fights against light and light against darkness …. And this is a battle which will last as long as darkness still exists …. For this will be defeated, but never will the light be defeated. The dark power uses all its strength and means in this battle, while the light does not express itself in all its might but only ever becomes effective according to the will of the creatural. For as soon as the all-powerfulness of the divine light would break through, the darkness would suddenly disappear, which, however, does not correspond to God’s will. The being’s freedom of will can and will therefore favour a long-lasting darkness but will never be able to eternally resist the irradiation of the divine light of love. The light will triumph …. but never compel. For love does not tolerate compulsion, and the life that is to be attained must be a completely free one if it is to fill with bliss. But darkness can never make people happy, and therefore the being will certainly want to escape from darkness one day once that it has felt the blessing of a ray of light …. And every being starts (2.6.1956) this voluntary ‘flight towards the light’ some day, but it decides itself the point in time when it wants to release itself from the darkness of night. And neither power nor cunning of the dark forces will be of any use, they will not be able to prevent it because the power of light is stronger if only the will to reach light is present. For the light is from eternity and will remain to the end of time, whereas the darkness only came into being through the apostasy of the originally created from God ….

Amen

There could be a paradisiacal state already on earth if all people lived in God’s will and served each other in love …. Neither hardship nor sorrow would oppress people and they would live together in peaceful harmony, always seeking to maintain each other’s well-being and security and giving each other support where help is needed …. Where love reigns, there is no discord, no envy, no greed …. where love reigns, there is no arrogance, no impatience, and no enmity …. For God Himself is where love is, and He blesses the people who are united to Him through love. But the earth is not such a blessed place that it could be called a paradise …. The earth is dominated by God’s adversary whose will is carried out far too zealously, and the earth shelters a majority of people who lack love, who therefore live at enmity with each other, and no-one strives for the other’s advantage but everyone only thinks of himself in self-love. But it shall become paradise …. For the time has come when Satan’s activity will be put to an end, the time has come when the human race must be renewed, when the few who still have love within themselves and strive to live according to God’s will have to be separated …. The time has come when the earth will be cleansed and transformed into the Garden of Eden again, where God Himself can dwell amongst His Own again, because love reigns on earth again …. You humans who are now living on earth are facing this transformation, this purification, the end of the old earth …. Although you will not be able to comprehend that and how such a transformation will take place, yet with God no thing is impossible …. And this transformation has been planned for eternity, after all, the state of unkindness amongst people has been known to Him for eternity, which no longer allows for upward development and therefore also causes the end of this earth. The earth is indeed intended to be a maturing station for the developing spiritual substance, the souls are intended to shape themselves into love during their earthly lifes …. But they can also do it, and thus people could already create the paradisiacal state for themselves in earthly life, and within a short period they would have reached the degree of maturity and be able to enter everlasting bliss …. But they misuse the grace of their embodiment on earth …. They do not strive for a change of their nature, they remain in their loveless state, which was the result of their former apostasy from God, and thus they create for themselves a life of hardship and misery, sickness and sorrow …. and perish physically and spiritually …. For they only have a limited time on this earth. And that is why a limit has also been set for the human race, so that it can only sink to a certain depth in order to then be integrated anew into the process of maturing, which is extremely painful but nevertheless successful. But the earth will take on a new look, both as creation and spiritually, for the new human race consists of souls which were serious about their transformation, about their maturity …. which have shaped themselves into love and therefore may experience the paradise on the new earth. And God Himself will be in their midst, for their love permits of His presence. And all adversity will now be over …. All of you humans are facing this change. Ensure that you be among those who may take possession of paradise, ensure that love fills your hearts, that you still use the short period of time until the end, that you live according to God’s will, Who only requires of you to fulfil His commandments of love …. For soon the time of grace will be over, soon the hour of the end will have come ….

Amen

The human being’s earthly path will be and remain a path to the cross if it is to lead upwards, unless he hands himself over to Me in such a complete trust that I can take his cross from him or help him carry it; then he will be able to walk upwards unburdened, for then he already is completely Mine and no longer needs any special purification processes on this earth. But this is rare, and anyone who is still very heavily burdened with the cross should not be unhappy about it, for it is always a sign that he is walking the right path. For the wrong paths are smooth and full of joy, and man enjoys his life. I did not lead you the way on the path to the cross without reason requiring you to follow Me …. You must always remember that …. when you have to carry a cross …. you are walking in My discipleship. But if it seems too heavy to you, then just turn to Me trustingly and I will help you out, I will help you carry the cross for as long as it is necessary that you are still burdened with it yourselves. And I will give you strength …. as soon as you ask for it. Just do not walk your earthly path alone, remember Me and let Me walk beside you, then you need not fear to collapse under your burden, for I know when it becomes too heavy for you and then I will truly take it off your shoulders. You humans have often been told that the hardship will increase the closer it gets to the end and that the only short path must therefore be particularly steep if it is to lead to the goal. And therefore you have often been admonished to ask for much strength in prayer and to acquire it through loving activity …. And you can believe that you will also receive strength if you approach Me for it, because I will not allow more to come upon a person than he is capable of coping with. And I always want to motivate you humans through hardship and tribulation to unite with Me, to join Me ever more intimately, for then everything will be bearable for you, you will be able to overcome the greatest adversity, you will be led out of every distress …. Just do not rely on yourselves and your strength, because this is not enough to master the struggle of life if you do not want to hand yourselves over to the one who gives you earthly abundance but takes away everything from you spiritually. Do not let him become your lord but rather bear the heaviest cross because it will not burden you for long, whereas you will be enslaved by that lord again for endless periods of time for only this short span on earth which is left to you. Believe Me that you truly have an advantage over those who pass thoughtlessly through earthly life …. Believe Me that I know about all your worries and even if I seem to be holding back …. My help will not fail to arrive as soon as you trust Me. But the fact that hardship will come upon you is not unfounded, for it solely concerns your soul which, although it is not affected by earthly destitution, is in far greater distress as long as it does not hand itself over to Me, so that I may guide it and give it what it needs to mature …. this is why I said: “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness …. everything else will be given you besides ….” Remember these words and believe that I will always give you what you need if you first fulfil My condition: to seek Me and My kingdom with all earnestness and zeal …. And the cross imposed on you shall only help you to look around for the One Who wants to help you carry it ….

Amen

Time and again My breath of love will touch you which shall breathe life into you, so that you will awaken and rise from the rigidity of death …. so that you look around you and can see life everywhere. For I am an opponent of death and do not want to let you, My living creations, fall a prey to death. With My warmth of love I want to cover the frozen again and thus give it life again. For the frozen shall be able to warm up with Me and now be brought to the state of pulsating life, so that it will be blissful again as it was in the beginning. My plan of Salvation …. the plan of returning the dead to life …. will also some day have brought Me this desired success, because My love never slackens and as long as love can be effective it will also constantly give birth to new life, and because every spark of life is spiritual substance awakened from death …. Yet the effectiveness of love is conditional, for it remains silent where it encounters resistance. Resistance, however, is an opposing influence, resistance is the working of My opposite pole which wants death just as persistently as I want to bestow life …. And the being created out of My power of love and its will stands between the two of us, it decides itself on life and death insofar as it must open itself to Me and My irradiation of love in free will in order to be awakened to life. Then My love can begin to be effective, something dead returns to life and My opposite has lost this spiritual being to Me for ever …. This process of development uninterruptedly happens throughout the universe, for as long as earthly-material creations continue to exist it has not yet come to an end either …. And ages will still pass until the final goal is reached, that there is nothing dead any more in the whole of infinity, that everything is light and life …. But only a few people know something of this process of development, about My eternal plan of salvation …. Knowledge of it is therefore not necessary as long as people still show spiritual striving, as long as they unconsciously integrate themselves into My law of order and are thus, as it were, in the midst of this process of development …., i.e. slowly come to life …. But this striving decreases more and more, and before the end of a developmental period it has sunk to a minimum …. And then they will also be given knowledge through spirit-awakened people so that it will still be possible for a few to deal with My plan of Salvation intellectually and now consciously integrate themselves into this process, for there are people here and there who cannot close their minds to the logic of this knowledge, who will find in it the explanation which they have long sought intellectually but have not yet been able to find. These can now be determined by the knowledge of the eternal plan of Salvation to change their mind and will, because they now become aware of the great responsibility which a wrong decision implies for their soul, and to these now the knowledge of My plan of Salvation has become a blessing. But far more people reject it, far more people doubt the credibility of such a knowledge, and these are still entirely under the sway of My opposite pole, and thus they also render My irradiation of love ineffective, My breath cannot touch them, they lack all warmth of love which awakens them from death to life …. And endless periods of time will pass again until they, too, make this awakening from death to life possible; endless periods of time will pass until they have freed themselves from My adversary, until they turn to Me in their free will and open themselves to My touch of love …. But since My love never ceases I will not give up on any of My creations either. And time and again I inform people of this through My word, for My word is such a ray of love which wants to affect people’s hearts. My word will always and forever resound and no-one will be deprived of it, but it must be received into the heart of free will if it is to have an effect as a ray of love and give life to the dead again ….

Amen

All of you gather around the proclaimers of My Gospel if you want to make contact with Me, if you want Me to speak to you Myself. Your desire for Me and My word also determines the gift I offer you so that your souls will be nourished and mature. Believe that My word is the bread of heaven, which you need no less than the bread which strengthens your body …. Although you can sustain your earthly life through physical food and drink, the soul will not gain anything of this food for itself if it is not likewise offered food, if it is not provided with the nourishment which comes from Me Myself …. with My word, which is strength in itself, which only gives the soul the right kind of life. With hunger and thirst you shall gather where I distribute the bread of life …. And your soul will draw all strength from it. Time and again you should visit the places where My word is offered to you in all purity, for there you can receive the most precious thing offered to you in this world …. the gift of My greater than great love …. I speak to you Myself and thereby give you strength and light which help your soul to ascend. But you must desire this food for your soul or it will remain completely ineffective. All food for your body is worthless if you do not consider your soul at the same time, for the body does not last and the best nourishment cannot protect it from perishing. But the soul is the imperishable …. And some day, after the death of the body, it will be in a state according to its nourishment in earthly life. Even if it had to live in want it will still not perish but it will be in a pitiable state …. whereas it will be able to leave its earthly garment in a glorious shape if it was allowed to receive what served its development: My word, which imparted to it everything it needed to mature, to become perfect …. And this food can only be offered to it by Me Myself, even if it receives it through My servants …. Wherever My Gospel is proclaimed vividly I Myself distribute nourishment for the soul, and therefore you should always gather there and you will soon feel that I Myself am present and speak to you. The world constantly offers its goods and is excessively sought-after …. But where I offer a delicious gift only few people gather, and yet there is nothing on earth which surpasses this gift of grace in value …. There is nothing of equal effect, there is nothing from which the soul could fetch roughly the degree of strength as at My table, where it is offered spiritual food, where it can eat supper with Me Myself …. And yet so many people pass it by …. The most delicious food is offered to them and they pay no attention to it, and therefore they starve their souls, which are in a dreadful state as long as they are not nourished with the right food which gives them life. Everywhere springs are opened up from which living water flows, and everywhere people could go and see for themselves that they may receive a wonderfully refreshing drink, but they must come to the source themselves, they must request and receive the water of life from Me Myself, they must go where My word is preached with conviction and not be satisfied with dead proclamations of the word, they must also feel hunger and thirst for strong food and living drink themselves …. Then I will always supply them with what their souls need, and then they will also mature and shape themselves in that way that they will live eternally full of light and strength ….

Amen

You can always abide by My word …. And My word will always teach you the same, that love comes first, that the commandment of love is the greatest and most noble commandment, because the fulfilment of this commandment cannot be avoided if you want to enter eternal beatitude. And love will always express itself in some way, because love is strength which is active …. which therefore means that it expresses itself through works, or also that an activity of love will always be recognisable where the human being’s love has been kindled, where My divine commandments are fulfilled …. It does not matter in which way this activity expresses itself, for it need not always be visible works, care of a different kind, whether spiritual or earthly, can also be regarded as a work of love …. always provided that true unselfish love underlies this activity. For equally good works can also be carried out which are certainly also beneficial for the fellow human being but which lack the motive of love …. These works are dead and will not be able to give life to the soul one day, just as, conversely, love does not necessarily need to be apparent and yet can determine a person’s thoughts and actions …. Love, then, is of first priority …. and only this love makes faith come alive …. Thus no one will be able to say that he has a firm faith if he does not live in love. Without love no-one will recognise Me Myself in Jesus Christ either, even if he does not object to these teachings and thus wants to outwardly profess his faith in them …. He cannot possess this faith without love. Therefore no-one will be able to refer to his faith in order to be saved who has refrained from working in love, because he is incapable of living faith, because he only intellectually professes a faith in order to partake of the blessings of faith known to him …. because My words read: “He who ‘believes’ in Me shall have eternal life ….” Without love faith is dead; a person may perhaps be intellectually convinced of the way of life of the man Jesus on earth, of His death on the cross and His act of Salvation …. But he lacks inner conviction and will never be able to recognise Me Myself in the man Jesus and thus convincingly acknowledge Jesus Christ as the One with Whom I became one through love. Because he lacks love himself he lacks all realisation, My spirit cannot enlighten him and his thinking …. And what he says is only the result of intellect, a dead knowledge without life …. a faith without love is not the faith I have spoken of that will bring you eternal life …. but all of you can kindle love within yourselves because I have placed the spark of love within you …. and that is grace …. You therefore are saved “through My grace” …. because without this special gift of grace you would be completely powerless and could not attain life for ever …. That you are allowed to embody yourselves as a human being on this earth is likewise a grace, a gift from Me, which is not your merit, for your will was and still is directed against Me when you begin earthly life …. But all of you have the same right to attain life, all of you only need to use the gift of grace in the right way, all of you only need to give your will, which is completely free, the right direction …. Thus you will never be determined or chosen by Me to be saved, instead, you alone choose the fate of salvation or damnation …. and only ever by how you make use of My gift of grace, how you behave towards the spark of love within you …. For you must kindle this spark within yourselves in order to be able to enter everlasting life after the death of your body. Everything emanates from love: brightest realisation and thus a living faith, which inevitably also results in redemption and intimate union with Me …. Love, however, never remains inactive, it will always express itself in works, be it of a spiritual or earthly nature, for it is a power which constantly remains active ….

Amen

All powers of heaven and earth are subject to Me and must bow to My will. And thus I also often use the forces of darkness, that is, I permit their evil will and activity but always create opportunities for the people affected by this activity to mature their souls. Hence, what is thought out and carried out in evil will can nevertheless bring spiritual success, and then My adversary will also still have served Me despite his adverse intention …. This is why the world can be as bad as it is in the last days before the end, souls can nevertheless find their way to Me precisely because of it, providing they are of good will, otherwise the ruler of darkness will gain these souls, as is his plan. The world of light serves Me consciously, but the dark world serves Me against its will …. But My will rules and no being can resist My will. Yet I only penetrate with My will when I can save or protect, when I want to provide those who trust Me with proof of My love and might and wisdom …. Then even those dark forces must bow to My will …. otherwise I will not restrict their activity either and by virtue of their will they can also act completely wrongly and badly without being prevented by Me. Then I will allow what proves their wickedness even though it contradicts My will completely. But no person needs fear attacks from the dark world as long as he entrusts himself to Me with complete faith. My adversary or his helper will never dare to approach a person who is standing close to Me, who has taken refuge in My arms and approached Me for protection …. And this is what all of you humans can truly do …. You can unite with Me daily and hourly in thought and always ask Me for protection against everything dishonest, against all evil which wants to harass you, and you have already warded off your enemies with this prayer, for they must withdraw as soon as you take refuge with Me, as soon as you allow My presence through your supplications, for I am with every person who calls upon Me in spirit and in truth …. The call of My name is sufficient, yet it must be spoken with heartfelt sincerity, for I do not hear empty words which are only spoken by the mouth, I keep My ear closed to them …. And so that you can call sincerely to Me you only have to muster the will to be children of your Father in heaven, you only ever must see Me as your Father and you will also be able to speak to the Father like children and beseech for His protection in every distress of body and soul. And then you will be immune to everything the evil forces undertake on behalf of their lord …. For although I let them have their freedom they will nevertheless not abuse their freedom on you but choose other victims who, however, can also turn to Me if they do not want to succumb. I am above everything, and whatever happens I know about it and will know how to direct everything in that way that the effects can always serve the souls to mature, be it that the soul itself resists them and thereby matures, or also that it takes refuge with Me and through the intimate bond with Me takes the path of ascent ….

Amen

Those who voluntarily offer their services to Me on earth are integrated into a process of redemption and will always be able to fulfil their task because they are My servants who have offered their cooperation to Me. If you humans could follow the work in the spiritual kingdom and also the battle of the world of light against the darkness, then you would also know what a small light already means in this darkness, and you would also realise how significant a contact is which was established from earth with the world of light …. which cannot be created by force. You would see how such a connection is utilised on the part of the beings of light and what extensive redemptive work can be initiated and carried out through it again …. For the beings of light cannot influence the people of this earth if they do not enter their realm voluntarily …. if they only ever turn their thoughts towards the world. And every person on earth who, through his own spiritual striving, also tries to direct his fellow human beings’ thoughts in this direction is a hope for the beings of light to one day be able to establish contact with those they would like to work on for redemption. And in the same way joyfully the souls in the spiritual realm, which still dwell in darkness, welcome a ray of light which radiates from earth and which can likewise have a redeeming effect and really has a redeeming effect on a large scale. For this reason, however, the little flock of My co-workers is also recommended to the protection of all beings of light, and they all take care to keep these auxiliary forces so that the work of redemption can be carried out, which is particularly urgent in the last days before the end …. after all, it is still necessary to save the souls from the new banishment into matter …. You humans only know what has been revealed to you through My love …. The beings of light, however, grasp everything and their understanding and activity around all souls which are in greatest danger is far greater. They make use of all possibilities of help and always endeavour to create new possibilities of help for themselves …. And therefore they watch over people on earth with utmost care who are indispensable to them precisely because of their bond with the spiritual world …. who open many doors for them through their spiritual work on earth …. who work as bearers of light themselves and thus stand in the battle against darkness themselves …. And do you really believe that I would so easily want to extinguish a light which once has flared up in love for Me and which I can continually top up with ever brighter luminosity? Anyone who therefore knows what the pure truth means for all people and all souls in the spiritual realm will also not doubt that I protect every bearer of truth and try to keep him for a mission which is so urgent because the darkness has also become almost impenetrable …. And thus, as long as the redeeming activity depends on light being brought into the darkness, on pure truth being opposed to error and lies, the bearers of truth will also be specially protected by My and need not fear becoming incapable for their mission, for I reward their devotion to Me by working through them Myself and also maintaining the form for Me for as long as I need them to cooperate …. because the last days require My unusual activity and therefore this will also sometimes emerge unusually ….

Amen

Every spiritual progress wants to be achieved …. And it has to be emphasised time and again that the path which leads to the goal must lead upwards, thus always requires a certain amount of strength. Since you humans possess little strength yourselves you must therefore request it from Me or acquire it through loving activity …. The path upwards could never be travelled without supply of strength, for it is not even, it is exhausting for every person unless he possesses a measure of strength of love that he feels no strain at all. Then love itself carries him to the height …. Therefore, anyone who is still powerless and yet wants to travel the path upwards has to make use of help, a guide who leads him, supports him and provides him with strength …. And this helper and guide is Jesus Christ, to Whom you humans should entrust yourselves on your earthly path so that it will lead to the goal. Jesus Christ will first guide you to the fountain of life where you can draw strength for your earthly path …. For Jesus Christ brought you My word, the divine teaching of love, and you will always have to take note of this teaching of love first and then act in accordance with the teaching …. Then you will receive strength and can confidently start your ascent at your leader’s side, for you will now be able to overcome even the most difficult obstacles by virtue of the love you shape your being into if you live according to My teaching of love …. You are powerless at the beginning of your life but you need not remain powerless …. For you can easily acquire a measure of strength of love if you make use of Jesus Christ’s help, Who for this reason died on the cross because He took pity on your weakness and therefore acquired a measure of grace through His death from which you can now draw unlimited grace and strength. The ascent to the height requires strength, and only One can impart this strength to you: Jesus Christ, for all strength emanates from Me …. and I and Jesus Christ are one …. Hence you must make use of My strength with full awareness by asking Me for it …. by believing in Me and then also fulfilling My will in this faith, i.e. by making the divine commandments of love the guiding principle of your way of life …. Then you will acquire strength, and I Myself will never leave you without strength either, because you have approached Me for it in complete trust …. And then you will take the path of ascent, and now you can use your strength to overcome all opposition, to remove obstacles from your path, and you will not slacken or sink down without strength, for He Who provides you with strength also constantly walks beside you now, because you acknowledge Him, because you believe in Me in Jesus Christ, because you chose Him as your leader, because you let Me be present to you as soon as you live a life of love, as soon as you live the divine teaching of love. You must know this because otherwise you cannot understand why your earthly life is often difficult and oppressive and why you must take refuge in the One Who alone can lighten your burden, Who teaches you how to travel the path effortlessly …. You must know that only love is the source of strength, that without love you will not reach your goal, for you start your earthly life in the abyss and should leave it in the height if your earthly path is not to have been in vain. But you can reach your goal if you call for the right guide, if you join Jesus Christ, Who Himself walked the path and Who calls upon you to follow Him if you want to be saved ….

Amen

The strength of your prayer will also guarantee your requests to be granted. For I Am true to My Word: Ask, and it shall be given to you; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ….’ You should always remember that My Word is truth, that I do not give you a promise without fulfilling it. You should also bear in mind that it is always possible for Me to grant your prayers, and that My love for you gladly complies with your wishes …. but that you may only rely on the granting of your prayers if you firmly believe, if you don’t let any doubt arise in My love or My power. But the slightest doubt prevents Me from proving My love and power to you, in that case you are, as yet, not united with Me closely enough, you don’t see the Father in Me as yet but only ever the distant God Who will not push Himself to the fore as long as your childlike love does not draw Me, your Father, to you …. which, however, a firm faith will do. For this reason so many of My earthly children’s prayers remain unheard, and this increases their doubts in the power of prayer even more. And yet, only the missing strength of faith is to blame that you often wait for the granting of your prayer in vain …. Come to Me like children to your Father and speak to Him with true humility and childlike love, and then tell Me your wishes in firm trust that I will hear you, understand your problem and avert it from you …. And you can rest assured that I will not ignore you but I will comply with your prayers ….

For I want to draw you ever more firmly towards Me and therefore will not disappoint someone with a firm faith either. And a true child will certainly only appeal for things which will not damage the soul; a true child leaves it up to Me and I direct its thoughts so that it realises and rejects every desire which hampers its spiritual development. The right relationship of a child with its Father also guarantees you enlightened thinking, an enlightened spirit …. It is My will that you should entrust yourselves to Me in every adversity of body and soul, and I will help you, as I have promised, as soon as you believe in Me with a living faith. However, I cannot give you a living faith, you have to acquire it yourselves through love …. And thus you know why so many prayers remain unheard: insufficient love is the explanation for a weak faith, because no person may ever expect the complete evidence of My love from Me who has insufficient love himself and therefore also prevents My activity of love …. My Word is truth, but My promises also require compliance with the conditions …. Then every promise will come true for you. Therefore strive to strengthen your faith, let it come alive through kind-hearted activity …. Then you will also have strength of faith and My love and might will manifest itself to you ….

Amen

The Words you receive from Me are spirit and life …. Therefore they must also speak to every person’s spirit and give it life. He will feel the strength of My Word providing he opens his heart and allows Me to enter, providing he gratefully accepts the gift he is offered by Me Myself. And anyone who loves Me and who also offers love to his neighbour will always feel touched by My Word, because due to his love he will already have a connection with Me and will also recognise My voice as the voice of the Father Who wants to make His child happy. ‘My sheep recognise My voice ….’ And My voice will only ever be heard if I Myself Am able to speak to people …. You cannot describe the empty word as the ‘voice of the Father’ which can certainly be used by those people who do not allow Me to be present with them as yet, who are still spiritually unenlightened, who indeed claim to preach in My name but of whom I cannot as yet avail Myself in order to speak through them to all who listen to them. The recognition of My voice requires such a conscious connection with Me that I Myself will be able to speak …. And this bond must be established both by the preacher as well as by the listener of the Word …. Then the good shepherd Himself will coax His sheep and they will willingly follow …. My sheep recognise My voice …. Does this not presuppose that I speak to people time and again? I emphasise the fact that My sheep recognise My voice …. Hence I make a distinction with those who hear Me, for not all people can count themselves as My Own and therefore not all will recognise Me in the Word …. But I will always speak to My Own Myself so that My promise will come true: that they will hear and consequently also recognise My voice as evidence of the presence of the One to Whom they have surrendered. Hence with these Words I also referred to the fact that I will always and forever speak to you humans, that I did no mean the written Word alone which can also be devoid of spirit and life if I don’t bring it to life Myself, if My spirit does not give it life.

However, I also knew that My Word would only be recognised as My direct communication if a life of love had resulted in the awakening of the spirit within the human being, and therefore I spoke about ‘My Own’, for love is the bond which unites Me with them and enables My direct working within them and for them. The Word can certainly be heard by everyone, but My voice requires My presence …. Thus I also assured you of My presence, and I provide the evidence of it by My voice …. And My Own will recognise it as the ‘Father’s voice’. But it is only a small flock which hears their shepherd’s coaxing call and follows Him, there are only a few who listen to His voice, because people increasingly allow themselves more often to be deceived by fine words which resound loudly but lack all spirit and life. And those do not count to My Own, they do not share My spirit, they are without love and therefore they don’t strive towards Me either. And if I speak to them they turn away from Me and go to places where My cleverly camouflaged adversary speaks, and they are satisfied with the empty shell from which they cannot derive any strength. But My Word is strength which will give life to all those who allow themselves to be addressed by Me Myself, who yearn for My voice and who, as My children, shall also experience the Father’s love ….

Amen

He who loves the world will lose his life, he who despises it will gain his life …. For the world brings death to the soul, but overcoming the world awakens it to life …. You humans certainly stand in the midst of the world, and it is your earthly task to carry out the position where you have been placed also in an earthly manner. Nevertheless, apart from this task you can fulfil your actual earthly task: You can give life to your soul by valuing another goal higher than the world, by striving spiritually in the midst of the world. However, this actual earthly task of yours first requires of you to overcome the world, i.e. it must not dominate you but you must be and remain master over everything that belongs to the world …. you must only pay attention to it as far below you as it should serve you. But you should focus your attention on the spiritual kingdom which you can acquire if you live right on earth. You can choose between life and death, for you alone determine the state of your soul after the body’s demise. But you can never gain life if you are enslaved by the world, if nothing else occupies your thoughts but only the attainment of earthly goods and goals …. Consider this well and strive to give life to the soul …. You cannot possess or gain both the earthly and the spiritual kingdom at the same time, you must decide for one or the other, for both kingdoms are opposites as are the demands each kingdom makes on you. But remember that one kingdom is transient whereas the other lasts forever …. And do not use your strength, your worries and efforts for something worthless which you will lose again, but use all your vitality to gain eternal values. Life or death is the result of your earthly life, and you yourselves determine this …. So let yourselves be admonished and warned time and again and be reminded of the end of your life, which you cannot escape, which is present to your mind as a certainty. If you want to live forever and not need to fear earthly death, then you must also already on earth take care of this life by paying more attention to the soul than to your body …. by trying to awaken and maintain its life and just allowing the body to live in want, which cannot live forever after all …. And therefore you must not pay too much attention to the world, which only serves the body but not the soul. If you regard the world as your enemy who only wants to hand you over to death …. because the world embodies God’s adversary …. then you will also lose all love for the world and turn your thoughts to the kingdom in which God reigns, Whose concern is only ever to awaken everything that is dead to life so that it can be eternally blissful in His kingdom …. Then the world will also no longer be a danger, then you will have overcome it, then you will be able to stand in the midst of the world and yet gain for your soul the life that lasts forever ….

Amen

I must have infinite patience towards you humans, for you do not reward My great love for you in such a manner that you live according to My will …. You constantly oppose My eternal order, you violate My commandments of love, you do nothing to earn My pleasure. You live completely wrongly on this earth, you do not make use of the short earthly life in order to change, and you constantly obey the wishes of the one who is My adversary …. And if I wanted to be just then I would have to leave you to your fate, which you have chosen voluntarily …. But My love is infinite and so is My patience with you, who are wretched and would remain so forever if My love and patience did not take pity on you and thus not look at the length of time when you resist Me. Therefore I permit of your activity and do not annihilate you, for you are My share …. My love created you and My love will not let you cease to exist again for ever …. And what I fail to do in a certain redemption period, because your free will is decisive, I will nevertheless succeed to achieve one day, for in My patience I always create new opportunities for you to mature, and no matter how depraved you are …. even if you are still devoted to My adversary with all your senses, I am not angry, but you only move Me to pity, I only see your weakness and inability to free yourselves from that one by your own strength, and I come to your aid …. Only I cannot snatch you from him against your will, but I will not slacken to influence this will without using force. And this is an undertaking which requires utmost patience and perseverance …. You often put My love and patience to a hard test, yet I am Love Itself, I cannot condemn you because you are Mine and because the counteracting force still determines you too much to contradictions, for My adversary does not leave you to Me without a fight, and therefore you still succumb to his influence too easily. You certainly did not need to fall into the abyss, for once you possessed strength and also light, i.e. realisation, and you voluntarily turned away from Me …. And this sin weighs upon you, but even this great sin has not diminished My love for you, but it is the cause of your present unhappiness …. it is the cause of your weakness …. And therefore I brought you redemption from this guilt for the first time …. which, however, requires your free will again. You can never return to Me again unredeemed, yet My adversary has lost all power over you as soon as you only want to become free yourselves and call upon the One Who redeemed you: Jesus Christ, Who died for you on the cross …. But as long as you reject Him, you remain under the sway of the adversary …. For this reason his mind is constantly directed towards presenting Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation to you humans as implausible, to deny Him Himself, thus to prevent you from taking the path to Him …. And you humans willingly follow His influence, you defy Me through your behaviour, you keep adding more and more sins to the great sin of old, because you live completely contrary to My order from eternity, because you disregard the commandments of love which the man Jesus taught you in order to help you rise from the depth to the height …. As long as you reject Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation there is no will in you to turn back and take the path to Me, and despite greatest love and patience I cannot save you from the abyss …. precisely because you do not call upon Me in Jesus Christ …. nevertheless I do not relinquish you, even if eternal periods of time pass by, for I do not repay evil with evil, I do not strike the fallen with eternal darkness, I do not condemn but seek to redeem …. I want to fill the unhappy with bliss, I want to give light and strength to those who are weak and darkened in spirit, I want to free those who are bound …. But you yourselves decide upon the time when this is possible …. You cannot be forced to love, to return to Me, therefore I solicit your love with untiring patience, and I will never slacken to pursue you with My love until one day you voluntarily turn away from My adversary and take the path to Me, until I can draw you to My heart, until you have given up all resistance and want to be and remain Mine forever ….

Amen

In My love and mercy I draw near to you in My Word so that you will learn to recognise and love Me. The connection between Me and you can only be proven to you if you listen to My speech which is intended to convince you of a Being Which you indeed are unable to behold but Which nevertheless can be present to you if you yourselves allow It to be present. If I Myself address you, you will no longer be able to deny Me …. But if you don’t want to hear My Words then it will not be proof of Me either even if you hear them anyway. Yet first of all I consider those who listen to Me voluntarily and who let My Words penetrate their hearts …. Hence I want to draw close to them in order to win their love, and therefore I must also inform them of My nature, My will and My love …. I must reveal Myself to them, for this revelation can also kindle the love in them, which is the purpose and goal of conveying My Word to earth when I Myself speak through the mouth of a person. Every person who considers that such communication is possible, who opens his ears and heart when he hears My Word, can already be counted among My Own, for by listening to Me he proves that he has relinquished his opposition to Me. In My Word I Myself come to people on this earth, I instruct them, I admonish and warn them, I explain to them the consequences of their way of life and I bring them the good news of the salvation from sin and death …. This, however, can only be conveyed to you by the One Who is the eternal Word Himself, Whose knowledge, light and truth is supreme and Who alone can also enlighten you about His nature. The ‘Word of God’ is the greatest gift of love, for it must have come forth from Me directly, it must give evidence of Me Myself …. And once I have addressed you, you will no longer be able to deny Me …. And yet, innumerable people walk past the most delectable offer they will receive in earthly life because they don’t want to be addressed by a God.

I cannot reveal Myself to someone who does not recognise anything above himself, who does not want to know anything about Me, who rejects all knowledge because his nature rebels against the thought of having to be subject to a Power Which has created him. He is still so filled by the satanic spirit that it is impossible to reveal Myself to him …. He will never believe that a ‘God’ will manifest Himself to people …. And yet the Word sounds from above and enters the human hearts which open themselves …. For only through My Word can I influence those who shall take their test of free will …. My Word does not compel, it does, however, impart great strength to a willing person, My Word can turn the will in the right direction without compulsion, and My Word can kindle love for Me …. because it is My direct emanation of love. Since I Myself Am therefore the Word of eternity I can also descend to people, talk to them and time and again try to turn their thoughts to Me …. I can constantly nourish those who have recognised Me, who love Me, with My Word, which is the right food for the soul with the most obvious effect of strength …. And thus I will talk to people time and again for as long as the earth exists, and over and over they will hear the same Word …. time after time the Gospel will be proclaimed to them which I preached to people when I lived on earth. People will repeatedly be offered this Gospel in its purest form, so that My Word will come to pass: Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my Words shall not pass away …. For I Myself will never ever change, the truth will always and forever remain unchanged, and My Word is the outpouring of Myself and therefore always and forever has to be the same. And in order to remain pure it must come forth from Me Myself, and that also necessitates that I continue to speak to people on earth directly, that I Myself must come to people in the Word and bring to them what they need in order to find their path back to Me …. I must reveal Myself in order to be recognised and loved by My living creations ….

Amen

Everything bears the sign of decay, even if you humans believe to be busy in building up and promoting …. Even if you incessantly work in the earthly sphere. You only contribute towards bringing the end ever closer, for all your striving is only aimed at earthly goals, and thereby you unfit the earth for its actual purpose of serving you for the maturing of the soul. For you only pay attention to that which serves the body’s well-being, and you often prevent the bound spiritual substances in matter from maturing or serving by unlawfully dissolving creations in order to make them useful for your earthly plans. And what appears to be a blossoming, a progress, is in reality a chaotic state, because the development of the soul alone proves the extent to which divine order prevails …. and because this has reached a minimum which again proves the infringements against the eternal order. Much matter will certainly still be induced to serve, natural creations will certainly be dissolved for the purpose of earthly use, much spiritual matter will certainly be released from hardest form again and can continue its path of development in a new form, yet no human being will think of this but only of the earthly advantage which accrues to him when he uses matter …. And the spiritual substance in matter senses this earthly-oriented attitude and often only reluctantly gets ready to serve, which shows in the fact that disadvantages upon disadvantages become recognisable, that damage becomes apparent which now causes people much trouble and annoyance. For the spiritual feels it when its serving purpose has not been considered first, and therefore it often opposes. These are not blessed works which come into being through human hands without any spiritual attitude …. and however tremendous they appear and command people’s admiration in view of their construction …. And their existence will not last long even if people believe to have created works of permanence …. And it is precisely this increased will to work with only an earthly goal that goes so far as to carry out plans which only add to the chaos …. a chaos that now makes itself felt in a spiritual and earthly manner. For people’s spiritual state is remarkably low and expresses itself in complete faithlessness and in a loveless way of life. And the earthly decay manifests itself in such a way that people can no longer protect themselves against life-threatening influences which, however, are triggered off by people themselves who work on behalf of the one who wants to destroy everything in order to liberate the bound spiritual and to attach it to himself again. And people willingly offer him their hands for this, for he gives them the illusion of great earthly successes, he is an expert at directing their thoughts towards wrong goals and is always listened to, because people do not want to know about a spiritual purpose of their earthly life, because their thoughts are only directed towards earthly things and because the spiritual which they liberate in a god-opposing will, cannot exert a good influence on these people either, who disturb its course of development. It is seeming advancement and yet decline, a fall, as it cannot be imagined to be worse …. And only a few people have an open eye for this because they carry God in their heart and regard earthly life only as a passage to actual life in eternity …. And this is also continually pointed out to these so that they can still influence their fellow human beings as far as this is possible …. People strive ever higher and sink ever lower. And they should let themselves be warned by the apparent advancement they experience …. They should think and not live blindly from day to day, for creation did not come into being for purely earthly purposes, although it serves people, yet its actual purpose is spiritual development which, however, is now completely disregarded, and thus the earth no longer fulfils its purpose either ….

Amen

Once the spirit awakens to life in the human being the connection with Me will be established, for the spirit within a person is a spark of My divine Father-Spirit, it is a part of Me and thus the same as I Myself, so then you will also be able to rightfully say ‘God is within me …. ‘ For the spirit within you only awakens to life when you practise love, and then I, as the Eternal Love, can be within you Myself. However, although you all carry this divine spark inside of you it can nevertheless be buried due to your own will, due to your way of life, and remain so until your death …. In that case you went through life ‘without God’ …. because you lived without love and thereby made every contact with Me impossible …. Even so, you have lived your earthly life and thus left a great blessing unused; you failed to live up to the purpose of your incarnation as a human being: You did not unite with Me but remained in the isolation you once entered as a result of your apostasy from Me. In order to facilitate the unity I helped you with a great act of grace: First I placed a tiny spark of My divine spirit inside of you and then constantly stimulated you to kindle this tiny spark by placing you into situations through destiny where you, with good will, would be able to accomplish labours of love …. It often was and is possible for you humans to let the spark of love within you ignite into a flame. You truly don’t lack opportunities but it is an act of free will, and thus you can also neglect being lovingly active and the spirit within you remains dormant and cannot express itself, thus you have not established a connection with Me and are dead although you believe yourself to be alive …. And your earthly life is at a standstill, because a life ‘without God’ can never lead to advancement but attests to the connection with My adversary.

Thus I Myself cannot be within you because through your heartless nature you yourselves deny Me entry. This state amongst people can be observed far more than people’s heartfelt unity with Me by living a life of love and allowing themselves to be guided by My spirit …. And this state can always be recognised when people no longer have faith in Jesus Christ Who, through His death on the cross, intended to help them strengthen their weak will of releasing themselves from My adversary. The divine teaching of love which the man Jesus preached on earth was meant to show people the path of uniting the spiritual spark within them with the eternal Father-Spirit. This is why Jesus exemplified a life of love to His fellow human beings and also demonstrated the effects of such a way of life: the complete unification with Me, which showed itself in His Words and activity on earth …. What was impossible to achieve before Jesus’ sacrificial death, due to people’s weakness of will who were still burdened by the original sin, was possible for people to achieve after his crucifixion, because they were granted the strength if they acknowledged Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world and laid claim to His help. And then it also became possible for them to establish unity with Me by awakening the spiritual spark within them through activity of love and thus enabling Me Myself to take effect in them. However, without Jesus Christ no person’s spirit can be awakened, for I Myself cannot be in someone who rejects Me, who does not believe that I redeemed him from sin and death …. Although My tiny spiritual sparks lays dormant in every person’s soul only love will awaken it to life, love, however, recognises Jesus Christ, it recognises Me in Him and unites itself with Me …. or in other words: Love is the divine spark which wants to unite itself with the fire of eternal love …. Then, however, you will be alive even if you lose your mortal life …. You have already been resurrected from death as soon as the spirit within you comes alive, and thus you cannot lose this life again because you have returned to Me and with Me death can never ever happen again ….

Amen

You shall receive a good measure, for I am lavish in handing out, I give without restrictions if only you want to receive My gift. And therefore I have to emphasise time and again that you alone determine the measure, through your will to make use of it …. You stand in the midst of a stream of grace. If you open yourselves grace can flow into you, but if you close yourselves it will flow past you and you will not receive any blessing from it, for it does not penetrate against your will, it does not break the resistance but remains ineffective. And this also explains the spiritual low level of individual people, who admittedly all live in the same circumstances of life, who would all have the same opportunities to develop upwards and yet are so different in their spiritual maturity, because the will of resistance is partly still very strong but partly has been given up and in a few cases there is also an eager acceptance of My gifts of grace …. but these people can mature unusually in their souls. And thus the acceptance or rejection of My word, which is offered to people through My right servants, can also be explained …. This word of Mine is a gift of grace with a very special effect and yet it can remain ineffective where the resistance is still too great. Then it is neither understood nor recognised as a divine gift, and people carelessly pass it by, which could bring them an unheard-of ascent if they wanted to receive it and live it …. Nevertheless, time and again I distribute My blessings, time and again I offer My word to people even if they have already rejected it many times, for I give without restrictions because I love My living creations and want to lead them to salvation. And they can only reach the goal with constant help, they cannot be saved without My grace, for they are too weak to ascend without help, and all help is grace …. because My living creations have fallen into this state of weakness of their own free will and because their often long-lasting resistance to My help makes them guilty, thus they could not expect any help if My love were not so great that it is lenient …. Time and again I am willing to help them, time and again I make My streams of grace flow to them, and where much is received more grace constantly flows in, for I truly am lavish in distributing My gifts. And all of you should make use of this assurance of Mine and request the supply of grace and strength incessantly, for I will pay special attention to this conscious request and impart grace and strength in abundance to all who desire it …. You can only be saved through grace …. Do you now understand these words? But they do not mean that I arbitrarily bestow grace upon people, that I arbitrarily choose some to be saved …. This assumption would be a great error which would relieve you humans from striving and working hard in order to be saved …. But a life on earth, however long, would be unsuccessful without My grace, and therefore you must request it and make use of it …. And I will never give to you meagrely, I will distribute according to My infinite love, and each one of you can and will reach his goal who opens himself and gratefully accepts what My love offers him so that he will be saved ….

Amen
