Book 71 · BD 6626–6661
God's word is blessed with His strength ….
B.D. 6626 from August 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
All souls will be able to draw comfort and strength from My word, regardless of whether they are still on earth or already in the kingdom of the beyond, if only they willingly listen to it when it is recited to them. For I have blessed My word with My strength …. and it is due to this strength from Me that the souls find salvation from their adversity when they turn to Me, when they learn to recognize the great act of mercy of the man Jesus, in Whom I embodied Myself for the sake of these unhappy creations which are still distant from Me. My infinite love and grace is presented to them through My word, and the strength of My word causes them to understand everything and be touched by it …. that they can believe, because the strength of My word stimulates love in them and they are now also able to fulfil My will …. My word is blessed with My strength and will exert a great influence if it is listened to of good will and received into the heart. Yet I only ever speak of the living word, not of mere form, of empty speeches which remain completely without an effect of strength …. For if the latter had the same effect then there would truly be no more unredeemed souls in the beyond, since people speak everywhere but all too often it is merely a dead reading of letters which lack all strength, and therefore such places of dead word proclamation are rarely visited by souls in the beyond which need truly enlivening words in order to awaken from their dead state. And the same happens to people on earth …. They will not attain life through dead word proclamations, this requires the living water which originates from Me and which also has an obvious effect of strength on people who willingly listen to it. But the word is only alive when I Myself speak it, and this requires the proclaimer of My word to let Me Myself speak through him …. that he himself is of living faith, that he completely hands himself over to Me as soon as he wants to speak to people, so that I can then take possession of him and thus speak Myself, even if the word sounds from his mouth. The proclaimer’s intimate connection with Me must exist, otherwise I will not speak but only he himself will speak and then the strength of My word will never be able to touch a human heart unless the listener himself establishes the intimate connection with Me, for then I will speak directly to him and he will likewise be touched by the strength of My word. These words will be understandable to you humans if you consider that ‘the word of God’ is constantly and everywhere publicly proclaimed, but that humanity’s state of soul is so unusually low that one has to speak of spiritual darkness, of spiritual hardship …. This hardship, this low level, could not exist if ‘My word’ were conveyed to people, if every proclaimer of God’s word were himself of such a nature that he would be a suitable instrument for Me, through whose mouth I Myself could express Myself …. The strength of My word would penetrate everywhere and truly reveal an obvious effect …. (8/20/1956) And then there would be far more opportunity for people to hear Me Myself than there is now, where people indeed visit the places by tradition where the word of God is to be offered to them, but where often only human words are heard because I Myself am not given the opportunity to express Myself through human mouths, but I never bypass the free will of the preacher who has to establish the connection with Me himself in such a way that I can make use of him …. Then people would also be able to feel the strength of My word, then they would leave these places deeply impressed and take something with them if they are of good will and desired to hear My word. The powerlessness of what they mostly hear, however, is expressed in the fact that people do not change their way of life in the slightest, that they do not take to heart what is demanded in the gospel, in My divine teaching of love …. Church attendance only has a visible effect on very few people, that they make an effort to change their nature, that they consciously work on their soul, that an upward striving can be recognized …. because the ‘strength of the word’ which brings about such a change is lacking. What is Mine, what originates from Me and testifies to Me, will never remain without effect as soon as a person is open-minded and allows Me to speak to him …. And therefore My word has to be conveyed to people, and for this I need such servants who are willing instruments for Me, who …. if they want to proclaim My word …. also let Me Myself speak through them …. Only then will the word have strength and also show visible effects. And only then will people’s spiritual state be able to improve, which, however, also includes the listeners’ willingness to accept My word. If I now convey My word directly to people again, then you will also be able to explain this to yourselves in the great spiritual adversity …. And where those fail whose office it should actually be to proclaim My word to people, there I assign servants to Myself who willingly accept My word and pass it on in order to help those who long for My word, who need strength and desire it from Me Myself …. who willingly open their hearts and ears and who will therefore now also hear Me Myself, even though I don’t address them directly …. I have blessed My word with My strength …. All who allow themselves to be addressed by Me will experience this, for they will mature in their souls, their nature will change and become like My original nature …. they will live in love and reach the aim …. to eternal bliss ….
Amen

Different schools of thought …. Where is truth? ….
B.D. 6627 from August 21st 1956, taken from Book No. 71
All spiritual disagreements could be resolved if each supporter approached Me Myself with his opinion and awaited My explanations …. Then there would truly be no conflicts, then all people concerned would have to re-unite because they would all simply receive the same answer from Me. The fact that so many divisions have occurred, that so many schools of thought have been formed, is certain proof that this path to Me had not been not taken, that people had only used their intellectual thought and this can never produce the same results, because My adversary can all too easily intervene and confuse the intellect where I Myself Am not called upon in order to enlighten it. A few advocates of their point of view have done this, and therefore their opinion will more likely correspond to the truth, but it is not accepted by those who have ignored Me.
And thus the law, the truth, will repeatedly shine through but too little attention is given to its light and conflicts are not resolved. They will always surface because intellect is more highly rated and intellect can alter the worst distortions such that they are deemed to be wise and are then endorsed again. If you humans now considered the many different religious doctrines and schools of thought, then this itself should make you doubt the truth of what everyone supports, since there can only be one truth …. Thus …. if the truth really was amongst the various schools of thought …. all others would have to be wrong. But which one is true? …. Each one claims to have the truth and yet it cannot be recognised or it could not be doubted and abandoned in favour of another. Do consider this …. Do consider that the truth belongs to Me, do consider that you are My children, whom I love …. Thus I will not withhold the truth from you …. thus it will also have to be recognisable. Therefore, as long as you humans do not know but merely assume that you live in truth you will not possess it.
However, this does not apply to those of blind faith who have never formed an opinion of what they are expected to believe, rather I address the leaders, the representatives of individual denominations or schools of thought who in turn seek to convince their followers of the truth of what they represent. I speak to those who use their intellect and come forward in order that their still undecided fellow human beings should join them. I speak to those who certainly would be mentally capable of recognising the pure truth if they let their heart speak at the same time, if they offered the spirit within themselves the opportunity to express itself but have so far refrained from doing and are thus misguided in spite of having a highly developed intellect. All these would be surprised to get the same results if they followed the right path to Him Who is truth within Himself and can and will only ever give the truth ….
The many denominations and different schools of thought provide alarming evidence that the ‘working of the spirit’ is alien to all those in charge at the top, who do not work together because they represent conflicting opinions …. And if they were to permit the working of the spirit they would soon realise that there is no need for an external organisation, that the human being has to look for the truth within himself and that everyone will recognise the truth who allows himself to be taught by his spirit, who takes the path to Me, abides by My will and listens to Me …. But then he can claim the right that his ‘faith’ has become ‘certainty’, and then he will also convincingly support the religious doctrines. And all those of the same spirit will also be taught the same by their spirit and thus know that pure truth can only be found in Me Myself, that it makes everyone indescribably happy who has found it and that all disagreements will be resolved when it is explained by the only One in authority to do so ….
Amen

World wisdom and dazzling light …. request for truth ….
B.D. 6628 from August 26th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Worldly wisdom will pass away like everything else that belongs to this world. But My word will always and forever remain, and the light which radiates from Me and shines out into the darkness will remain. But you humans have to go through the darkness, and thus you also have to learn to distinguish between dazzling light and the right light which brings you true enlightenment …. And dazzling light is all knowledge which was gained intellectually; dazzling lights are all wisdoms which do not originate from Me. And you must learn to distinguish these from the rays of light which illuminate everything and show you the path which leads to Me. This right light can certainly also be offered to you in a form which appears to have been gained humanly, i.e. intellectually, but then the intellect was also enlightened because it was in intimate contact with Me. And then this person is also a bearer of light, a representative of pure truth …. But then all seemingly intellectual knowledge will also be in harmony with the spiritual knowledge which I Myself convey to humanity in direct form. But as long as this agreement does not exist, that knowledge must be called ‘worldly wisdom’, which will pass away like everything that belongs to the world. But the world will not allow itself to be convinced, the world holds its children captive and they cannot detach themselves from the world if they don’t sincerely appeal for My help to do so. The human being who thinks of reaching the aim without Me is in fact taking a path which leads far away from the right aim …. For in all childlikeness the human being must confess his father of eternity and approach Him for the right guidance …. then he will also be guided correctly …. If only you humans would believe that you can achieve nothing without Me …. and if you would not want to resist when I take hold of your hand to guide you. My love will always supply you with what serves your perfection; but if you don’t accept it then delicious streams of grace will have flowed to you in vain, and your earthly progress can also be in vain because your soul did not receive the right nourishment, because you filled yourselves with unsuitable food which neither gave the soul strength nor maturity. But you yourselves must bear the responsibility for your soul’s fate, or else you must take upon yourselves the fate you have acquired for yourselves …. But earthly life is given to you to prepare a glorious fate for yourselves, i.e. for your soul, after the death of the body …. Truth alone is the right nourishment for the soul. But only I Myself can distribute it, and if you want to have it conveyed to you by people because this path seems more natural to you, then you must nevertheless first make heartfelt contact with Me and ask Me to convey to you the person who imparts to you that which corresponds to the pure truth …. For I do not have just one way and not just one means to convey the pure truth to you, but it must have its origin in Me if it is to bring about your perfection …. Therefore you only ever have to ask Me for the truth in your desire for it …. This is the only certainty that you will then also come into possession of the truth. For I truly do not leave this request of an earthly child unheeded, for I long for this request in order to be able to reveal Myself in whatever way …. No person who has addressed this request to Me in spirit and in truth will be left in error by Me; the pure truth will be conveyed to him, and he will also feel it as truth and be blissfully happy …. As long as a human being only regards himself as a created being, as long as he has not yet established the relationship as a child with the father, the light of truth will not shine for him either, for this light allows the human being to recognize the connection with his creator and father of eternity …. Only this light shows the human being the short path which a right child only needs to cover in order to reach the father …. But anyone who regards God as unreachable also finds it difficult to establish contact with Me …. And he walks endless long ways and the aim moves further and further away from him. For a child achieves everything from the father …. but the creature remains in the separation from Me which it once accomplished itself ….

Final rescue attempts …. People's low level ….
B.D. 6629 from August 27th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
And even if an angel descended from heaven bringing the Gospel to people, they would not believe it …. for their wilful rejection is so strong in the last days, My adversary’s power over humanity and their distance from Me is so great, that they will be unable to feel or perceive anything Divine; because they are so earth-bound that they are incapable of moving into spiritual spheres and thus everything of a spiritual nature will either be declined or disputed. This is such a distinct sign of the approaching end, and precisely because of this attitude I will bring about the end, since no further development is possible on this earth anymore given that people won’t change, instead they are growing ever more worldly and ever more unsuitable for spiritual emanations. Consequently, it becomes increasingly more difficult to proclaim My Gospel to people, it becomes increasingly more difficult to change their way of thinking and to open their hearts for My Word, since they don’t recognise it as My Word and thus close their ears …. but they thereby also reject the means by which they could be helped and raised from below. Only very rarely will someone listen, and only very rarely will the Word be accepted by a heart and also recognised as a divine gift ….
And for the sake of these few I will not intervene earlier but wait for the day that has been determined since eternity, although humanity has already reached the degree of low level which calls for an end …. But every individual soul that I can still gain is worth this delay, I will helpfully stand by every individual soul of good will and let it find the path to the messengers of My Word. But there will just be a few, and the time will soon be fulfilled, the signs pointing to the end will soon increase, and the hour of Judgment will soon strike for all people …. At a time when My adversary gives the orders, because people have joined him, My servants’ work on earth will be particularly difficult and even often unsuccessful, and yet it has to be done, for no-one shall be able to say that they didn’t receive any blessings from Me …. Every person shall sooner or later have been addressed by Me, and every person’s path will be crossed by one of My messengers, only that this messenger can either be entirely ignored or his gifts declined …. but this is always determined by the person’s own will. And this will has to be offered possibilities to be tested, which thus also includes the presentation of My Word, which can never be forcibly imparted to a person.
And likewise, hard-hearted people will often still be affected by alarming events, and even then they often will still be able to soften their hearts, for I will continue to attempt to bring deliverance to people until the very last day. I will not let anyone fall before the end but I will be unable to delay the end beyond the time determined by My plan of eternity as not to let the souls of the lost fall even lower, in order to spare them an even more painful fate than the renewed banishment into the creations of the new earth, which therefore has to take place at the designated time.
And I truly know what benefits people’s souls, and I also know how to protect them from the worst …. My servants on earth, however, will receive the strength from Me so that they, despite an apparent lack of success, will nevertheless work diligently in My vineyard, for no work will ever be done in vain; and one day they will also recognise it themselves and be happy that their work to improve the souls has contributed towards the souls’ redemption, because My blessing rests on all work which is gladly and joyfully done for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Exhortation to undaunted vineyard work ….
B.D. 6630 from August 28th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
People’s mental confusion increases more and more and they move away from the truth more and more because they are completely under the influence of the one who is an enemy of truth. For their thoughts are meant for the world and thus they also surrender to the lord of this world who leaves no stone unturned to keep the truth from people. But they don’t allow themselves to be taught either; they are convinced that they live right and justly because they only ever consider their own advantages and consider everything to be good which therefore benefits them. And such an attitude can never earn them the truth, which is the share of the one who despises the world and only strives for the spiritual kingdom. It is impossible to move in the world and in truth at the same time because truth requires giving up the world. A renunciation of earthly goods only earns the human being spiritual goods. But as long as the human being strives for nothing but earthly goods, truth will be denied him or he will not recognize and value it as truth if it is nevertheless offered to him. But a worldly person does not desire truth either, he is content with the goods which make earthly life pleasant for him and does not think about the soul’s life after death. And his spiritual state becomes ever more dark, his thinking ever more erroneous and his soul ever more wretched …. If I now give you reasons for the present spiritual darkness, this should not mean that you, My servants on earth, should therefore slacken in your work for Me and My kingdom. Where you have no success at all, there “shake the dust off your feet” and walk on …. You should undauntedly carry out your work in My vineyard, for it is not done in vain, it will nevertheless result in success, because no spiritual work is useless, you yourselves just cannot see the effect of your efforts. And therefore you should not tire and always carry My word anew into all the world …. If one rejects you, then go to the next and on and on, a grain remains with everyone; it can fall on stony ground, but a seed can also sprout in secret at a time when you no longer think about it …. A single word may have remained in your memory and at a later time sound again softly and then find an echo …. For it does not lose its power, and I count on it …. You should not let your hands drop hopelessly, you should not give up your work …. you should only always know that I Myself am with you and bless every work for Me and My kingdom …. and that this blessing will be evident one day, thus no work is done in vain. For as soon as the desire for the world subsides, the hitherto confused thoughts will also clear up and the submerged will come to the surface …. And that once the desire for the world subsides, I Myself will see to that, even if often in a painful way …. But it is the salvation of the soul and not of the body that is important. And suffering of the body can be exceedingly beneficial for the soul. Therefore do not worry but undauntedly do the work for which you have voluntarily offered yourselves to Me …. Also accept derogatory remarks undauntedly and do not let them hinder you …. Keep on walking and offer My gift of grace to everyone you meet …. Every now and then you will find shelter and be able to do beneficial work. And if each one of My own saves just one soul again, he will have done a blessed work which will have an effect which you cannot measure …. But you will always have the world as your adversary, yet you should also administer to the worldly people what is salvific for them …. For many of them will remember your words when the time has come when what I have long announced to you will be fulfilled …. And then the seed can still sprout and bear fruit …. For until the end every person still has the opportunity to call upon Me, and no call to Me will be in vain ….
Amen

God's word unusual resource ….
B.D. 6631 from August 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
An unusual hardship requires unusual help …. And that people’s hardship is unusually great is beyond doubt, for it is not about earthly hardship which only affects a part of people but about spiritual hardship which is far worse because its consequences extend into eternity. Admittedly, only the earthly adversity will be obvious to people and they will not try to remedy it either, which would certainly be within their power …. For they have too little love for their fellow human beings, they don’t want to help unselfishly, and this is also the great spiritual adversity, that people lack love. For without love they are in the power of God’s adversary, without love they face a dreadful fate, without love they end up in the abyss. But people nevertheless don’t believe and therefore do nothing to remedy the great spiritual adversity …. Therefore, if they are to be helped this has to be done in an unusual way, because there is not much time left until the end and otherwise there is no prospect that a change of their attitude will be aspired to of its own accord. And this unusual aid is the great gift of grace of the divine word which God Himself conveys to earth and which could certainly bring about a change if it were listened to and taken to heart. Admittedly, the latter is also dependent on the human being’s free will, but even a person of good will would no longer take the path to God without an obvious grace as long as He appears to be far away from him …. which, however, is also the case in recent times due to people’s unkindness. And the proclamation of the word in the hitherto customary way can hardly cause a person to establish a closer bond with Him, which, however, His direct address can still achieve. It is an unusual act of help because the spiritual need is unusually great but God’s love still uses every means to control this need. What empty words without spirit and life can no longer achieve, a living word can still achieve: that the person thinks about it, goes into himself and changes …. This is the only thing God wants to achieve through the transmission of His word, that the ear and heart are touched, that the word does not fall on the ears, because a dead proclamation of the word is completely without power and because power is necessary in order to bring about a change …. The water flows slowly and sluggishly, it already carries a lot of impurities with it, it has neither a cleansing nor a revitalising effect, and where no attempt is made to free it from impurities or additives it will soon be unable to fulfil its actual purpose …. But the fresh, clear water which flows from the spring is different and has an exceedingly beneficial, invigorating and revitalizing effect …. And therefore God opens the spring and lets His word flow to people in all purity, so that those who had already fallen prey to death will come to life, if only they withdraw their strength from the precious gift of life …. if they willingly listen to the living word of God and live according to it …. Through this unusual remedy spiritual hardship can truly be remedied, and countless souls could still be saved before the end …. But no compulsion will be done to them either …. God gives delicacies, and He gives abundantly …. But anyone who is satisfied with dead proclamations of the word cannot eternally recover or awaken to life. He is in deep spiritual distress, for he lacks one thing: the love which would also let him realize that his life is an empty run …. He first has to let himself be addressed by God Himself, Who will present love to him as the first and most important thing he has to practice …. And if he allows himself to be addressed by God Himself, then he will be touched by God’s love and feel its strength …. And then he, too, will change, his will will turn towards God, and he will draw from the well of life, he will recover and grow stronger …. he will come to life and will no longer lose life ….
Amen

God's care for souls beyond …. intercession ….
B.D. 6632 from August 31th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
My merciful love applies to all My living creations and thus also to all souls in the kingdom of the beyond which still suffer from a lack of light. And since I Myself Am the Light from eternity I also don’t want to leave My living creations in darkness, and every opportunity to give them light will be utilized. But everything has to take place in lawful order, and therefore the will, the desire for light, is first necessary in order to be able to supply them with light. But as on earth souls in the beyond often remain in a defensive position towards the truth for a very long time, only because My adversary has persuaded them that they themselves stand in truth. And just as on earth, problems are often debated in the beyond too, and many different opinions are represented …. although no longer with unclouded clarity because the thoughts of those souls often become confused, but for the most part they don’t easily depart from their views. And if I want to help these souls to reach the light, the truth, I first have to put them into states of darkness so that they feel uncomfortable and start to think why they are no longer clear and able to think. I have to awaken in them the desire for light, only then can they be given light, even if only to a small degree at first. Believe Me that I am constantly concerned about the souls in the beyond who can only not be given light because they resist it, but who could easily achieve it if only they would give up their resistance to the pure truth. And this is especially the case with souls who dealt with questions on earth which cannot be solved without the working of the spirit …. whose earthly existence was filled with brooding and intellectual work, with investigating their and their fellow human beings’ ‘being’, who believed themselves capable of teaching and administered spiritual knowledge to their fellow human beings which was truly not to their advantage …. who were welcome tools for My adversary to cause ever more confusion amongst people and to deprive them of their childlike faith …. but who nevertheless did not act with bad intentions but in their delusion alienated themselves from the one Who alone is the source of truth. A very long time can pass until they have detached themselves from their wrong concepts, but they, too, are products of My love, My concern is unchanged for them too, and again and again I also open up opportunities for them to change their thinking, but still leaving them the freedom of their will in the beyond. But the desire for light will come if they have only once been touched by a spark of light …. And My love and My mercy guarantee that sparks of light will flash upon them …. You humans don’t know the immense effect of My word’s strength and therefore don’t know about its redeeming power when it is lovingly offered to the being in the beyond …. But the souls which once have gained access to the circle of light of My gifts of grace are saved for all eternity, for a word from Me will no longer let them go, for they feel its strength and also the benefit of the spark of light which clarifies their thinking and gives them the impetus to seek the truth …. Anyone who was once able to hear My voice through you will long for it forever and his longing will be fulfilled …. This is why there cannot be impenetrable darkness for a soul which is willing to listen to you if you want to bring My word to them; yet you can achieve its entry into the circle of light through loving thoughts and prayer for these souls …. The soul will comply with every such loving request, for it will not close itself off to love. And you can see from this that every individual person can achieve redemption if he lovingly takes care of those who have not attained light on earth, if he points out to them that they can still find what they lack on the other side and if he recommends these souls to Me Myself that I will have mercy on them …. and for the sake of your love I will also lead them to the light ….
Amen

Earthly limitations can be exceeded by spiritual means ….
B.D. 6633 from September 1st 1956, taken from Book No. 71
The limitations you imagine yourselves to have were not imposed on you by Me, you are not as limited as you believe yourselves to be, because you can always achieve by spiritual means what appears to be unattainable in an earthly manner. But you have to take this spiritual path of your own free will; it is closed to those who are unable to muster the will to establish spiritual contact with Me …. Thus, they are restricted, both in regards to their knowledge as well as their strength …. yet, again, they were not created by Me as they are at present, instead they placed themselves into this imperfect state, which is therefore also a state of limitation. No person should ever say such words as ‘No-one can know that ….’ or ‘No person will ever be able to fathom that ….’ For these words merely prove that he has not established a heartfelt bond with Me, they demonstrate that the spiritual state of such people is still low …. that they have not done anything yet in order to attain light, to attain realisation. As long as the human being is still living in sin on earth, as long as he has not been redeemed by Jesus Christ from the original sin which caused his darkness of spirit, he cannot become enlightened …. But once the redemption through Jesus Christ has taken place My spirit’s working in the person becomes possible and then all boundaries fall away …. Then My spirit will provide him with the knowledge which his intellect alone cannot give to him. But he can also achieve greater things than his still worldly fellow human beings …. he can indeed possess strength in abundance and contrary to his humanly-natural ability achieve feats which likewise demonstrate that the ‘limitations’ can be exceeded …. Yet only a few people acquire light and strength by spiritual means, only a few people exceed the natural boundaries even though all people would be able to do so. For the limited state is merely the state of imperfection which, however, could be changed by people at any time were they willing to do so.
The fact that so little true knowledge can be found on earth, that people speak so absolutely convinced of the limitation of their knowledge and the limitation of their strength, merely proves the degree of their imperfection again …. Did I not say ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect ….’? Hence you are also able to do it, and then you would also be able to know and accomplish everything, like your Father in Heaven. These Words alone should encourage you to strive towards perfection, and then the state of limitation would no longer exist for you …. Instead, you even doubt the truth of what you are told by those who have exceeded the limits, who take the spiritual path and have established such intimate contact with Me that I Myself can reveal the knowledge to them which concerns that which exists beyond earthly things …. which cannot be fathomed by your intellect alone as long as you are not released from the original sin, which makes a ‘working of the spirit’ impossible …. Hence the act of Salvation first has to be accomplished in you, the guilt has to redeemed which once obscured your spirit; but then you will be able to become enlightened again and limitations will no longer exist for you, since this boundary had been erected by the guilt of the original sin. However, it can be removed at any time again as soon as the original sin no longer exists, as soon as it is redeemed through Jesus Christ …. as soon as the person can be enlightened again by My spirit and the relationship with Me has been established again as it was in the beginning. The fact that people have no knowledge of this demonstrates their state, it demonstrates that they are not yet redeemed from their original sin, it also demonstrates the lifeless faith people live in although they proclaim to be Christians, who constantly speak My name and yet live their earthly life in complete spiritual blindness. And it is difficult to guide such people into a living faith in the strength of the spirit, which wants to reveal itself and yet is only able to manifest itself in a few people. It is difficult because people have not ignited love within themselves and therefore cannot understand My great love which accomplished the act of Salvation in the man Jesus …. And as long as the act of Salvation is not fully consciously made use of people will remain in darkness, and the limitations cannot be exceeded by them ….
Amen

Creationless spaces ….
B.D. 6634 from September 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 71
It is the love for the unredeemed which underlies the whole of creation, which brought it into being and ensures its existence. And this love has no end, which is why there will also be no end or cessation of earthly creations until all bound and therefore wretched spiritual beings have been redeemed. Visible creations only prove My working to you, for you humans are unable to see the spiritual creations, but these spiritual creations likewise serve the spiritual for perfection, which, however, is still incomprehensible to you as long as you are imperfect inhabitants of earth …. Yet My love also let these spiritual creations come into being because, apart from their purpose of leading to higher perfection, they also contribute to the happiness of the beings which are already allowed to receive light and strength from Me and are now allowed to use them creatively in accordance with My will. My rule and activity is the constant emanation of love and its purposeful determination …. Where love and wisdom can work unhindered, even the most wonderful creations have to arise and serve to make the spiritual being happy again, which was once created with the ability to feel and judge, so that works of love produced by Me have to cause it indescribable bliss. However, I cannot bestow these blisses on beings which have given up their perfection or have not yet attained it, but which I nevertheless love infinitely …. And thus I first try to shape them such that they can join the host of blissful spirits …. and therefore constantly create new creations which correspond to their degree of maturity but whose task it is to increase that maturity …. And thus earthly creation is secured for endless times to come, because there is still infinitely much spiritual which needs such creations to mature, to return, to the perfection it once voluntarily surrendered. And once the earthly creations have passed through, even if only with little success, then the still imperfect will be supplied to spiritual creations, and even now My infinite love ensures that further development is possible, even if in a completely different way than could happen on this earth. I do not leave any being to its fate, for I have created innumerable opportunities to mature in My longing for love for the spiritual beings which once fell away from Me. And even the greatest resistance is only increased impetus for creative activity for Me, because thereby I can express My love which is always and forever meant for My living creations. But love never forces …. And therefore it also leaves unlimited freedom to the beingness, but it is so strong that it constantly draws the beingness …. And as long as earthly works of creation exist I demonstrate My love, because these serve the once fallen being to return to Me …. Yet even this greater than great love of Mine can meet with resistance, and creations can be wandered through without the slightest success. Then it can be possible that this spiritual being, which is still completely opposed, cannot see any work of creation, neither earthly nor spiritual …. that it is in complete emptiness, in endlessly vast spaces, where it is completely dependent on itself, where nothing proves ‘life’ or ‘love’ to it and yet it is conscious of itself to endless agony. This state of being without creation is the most dreadful fate that can be bestowed upon a soul which left all creation unused for spiritual further education, which also drew no benefit from its earthly existence, which thought it had emerged from nothingness and also believed it would sink back into nothingness after the death of its body …. And yet, even this state is a loving act of mercy for the soul, for it does not last forever either, but it prepares the soul such that it looks at the first creations again full of astonishment and gratitude, which My love now lets arise before its eyes …. And now the further development can begin in the spiritual kingdom which it neglected on earth …. And My creations, whether of a spiritual or earthly nature, will nevertheless achieve perfection after an infinite time, because My love will never cease to help the unredeemed until I will once be able to make it happy with My love until it accepts it without any resistance and thus has accomplished the return to Me of its own free will ….
Amen

Mischief and misery …. God's will or permission ….
B.D. 6635 from September 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
The worldly man is satisfied with what satisfies his bodily senses and does not deprive himself of anything that satisfies his senses, even if he believes that he is indulging in ‘spiritual’ pleasures and only understands this to mean intellectually acquired goods, if he occupies himself with knowledge which again only concerns earthly things. Thus he feels good and does not deprive himself of anything because his soul does not push itself forward with its desire and cannot push itself forward either, since the body has the upper hand. But this state of contentment does not last until death, or only very rarely, because such a person usually ruins himself physically, because illnesses or increasing age prohibit those earthly pleasures or the fulfilment of bodily desires and the person is then often forced to think about himself, about his life and about the purpose of existence. And then God’s love approaches him again and again and tries to hold him back from the world, He tries to impart strength to the soul that it influences the human being from within to detach himself from the previous striving and to free himself from worldly thoughts …. But the soul will only penetrate if it has a certain amount of strength which, however, must come to it from outside …. through help which can consist of good conversation, spiritual conversations or transmission of the divine word, through good books or through loving intercession of a fellow human being …. From this the soul receives the strength to also influence the body, and then a slow change of thinking can occur, and the rest of earthly life can still be used well for the maturing of the soul. Illness, misfortune and earthly hardship are therefore indispensable for people who give themselves too much to the world and are often the best and only means to learn to recognize the world’s staleness. And these means are therefore used again and again and become ever more apparent the more humanity turns its gaze to the world. And that is why increased enjoyment of life, excessive earthly pleasures and the sensual performances of the worldly side will always be accompanied by phenomena of a negative kind, by misfortunes, illnesses and blatant misery, which is based on excessive enjoyment of life. People should, as it were, already experience in their own bodies the devastating effects which hedonism and intemperance produce, and they should thereby learn to recognize what the body actually is and what the life they have led up to now has brought them. For other means are unsuccessful with such worldly people, but these can still achieve what ideas and good speeches could not …. that they distance themselves from the world and escape the greatest danger of being devoured by it. For this reason, all apparent disaster in the last days should be regarded as divine will or permission which can also still have a beneficial effect, even if it is caused maliciously or also testifies to adversarial activity …. It can always bring people to their senses and result in a turning away from the world, and then their soul will be saved from a far worse fate after its recall from this world ….
Amen

Guardian spirit …. Spiritual guides ….
B.D. 6636 from September 5th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
A loyal spiritual guide accompanies you throughout your earthly life wherever you might go …. You are never without spiritual protection, and if this guide, as well as the beings of light surrounding you, were permitted to work unrestrictedly, your full maturing on this earth would be guaranteed, since their love for you leads them to do whatever will help you to ascend. But they are not allowed to affect you unreservedly because your will itself is imposing restrictions on them …. They, too, are only able to influence you according to this will, and you humans often prevent the activity of the beings which guide you due to your opposing will. Nevertheless, your guides will not abandon you and will keep trying to exert their influence until you die. Hence you are constantly surrounded by guardian spirits, and you can always turn to them for help, yet they are only permitted to help if you have established the bond with Me first, for it is the law that the beings of light only ever implement My will, that they only ever act in accordance with My will.
Thus a God-loving-person can live a truly carefree earthly life …. because he will always be granted much loving support if he, after heartfelt prayer to Me, hands himself over to My helpers and also asks for their protection and support. These guardian spirits and guides are permeated by light and strength; consequently it is easily possible for them to shape your earthly existence such that it will be bearable for you …. They are able to resolve adversities which confront you on an earthly level or which arise through the influence of evil forces ….
These spiritual guardians are instructed by Me to take care of you as soon as you have established your bond with Me through your will, through your attitude, through labours of love and through prayer. Thus a person devoted to Me can always rest assured that he is protected by Me directly, and My heavenly servants merely implement My will …. And My will always has your well-being at heart, since you have already given yourselves to Me and desire My protection.
And thus you know that you are never alone, regardless of how lonely or abandoned by the world you believe yourselves to be …. You are surrounded by a host of helpful spiritual beings which, instructed by your spiritual guardian, take care of you and protect you from physical and spiritual harm.
But it would be wrong if you only made contact with these beings due to a certain sense of superstition, if you saw in them anything else but My servants who are only allowed to help you once you have established the connection with Me …. For as soon as you call upon spiritual beings for help without faith in Me and without love for Me you will call upon adverse forces and place yourselves under their control …. For these adverse forces, too, are in your vicinity and only waiting for the opportunity to take possession of you, and this opportunity always presents itself when I Am excluded from your thoughts, when you live and act without Me on this earth …. In that case even your spiritual guide will be unable to take precedence, since your will does not allow for it.
And then the adverse forces will be especially busy, which you are just as able to feel around you as the good beings which work on My behalf. But you will invariably fall prey to these evil forces since they are very powerful and they will use this power because your will is giving them the right to do so …. However, you need never fear these evil forces if your will only ever applies to Me and you commend yourselves to My protection. In that case I have numerous helpers at My side wanting to be of service to you. And then the path of your earthly life will always be under the protection of your spiritual guide, whom I placed by your side Myself from the time of your birth until your death ….
Amen

Fear of dying …. Beholding the spiritual kingdom before death ….
B.D. 6637 from September 6th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Spiritual death is far more dreadful than physical death. And it is spiritual death which people unconsciously fear if they are frightened to die, for they fear what will happen to them after the death of the body …. this fear can befall the very person who does not believe in a continuation of life after death …. The soul feels that it is in a wretched state, and it transmits this awareness as fear onto the body, which therefore fights death as long as possible.
Fear of death is an involuntary confession of psychological immaturity, for the person lacks all realisation and therefore also confidence in God’s mercy, in hope for help, which it certainly would always receive if it would call for help. The soul is in utter darkness and unconsciously fears to approach an even darker night. A fully matured soul expects its final hour with complete calm, it longs for deliverance from its bodily shell, it hands itself over to the One in Whom it believes, and commends itself to Him and His grace. And often such souls are allowed to take a glance into the kingdom that awaits them and can radiantly happy open their eyes, in order to then close them forever and to escape from their body into the kingdom they beheld. Fear of death is a distinct indication of the soul’s state, and such souls must be given much help by their fellow human beings so that they will still awaken in the last minute and turn to the One Who wants to help and is able to help them ….
Anyone who witnesses the death struggle and fear of a soul will be able to send a quiet, heartfelt prayer to Jesus Christ if he wants to help this soul to find inner peace …. For the soul will feel this help and reach out for the last rescue anchor, and it will be carried by the fellow human being’s love when it leaves the body …. to Jesus Christ, Who will not close His ear to a sincere prayer for help. For this reason people should take especially good care of those who are afraid of dying and who thereby admit that they are still far from the light, from the right realisation and therefore also from God …. Fear of death confirms that they need help or they would be permeated by blissful calm when they feel that the hour of their departure from this earth is approaching.
And it is an act of utmost mercy and love to support a fearful soul, when nothing else can be done but to call upon Jesus Christ Himself that He may have mercy on this soul. This loving appeal will be heard and can save the soul so that it will be spared the darkest night ….
Amen

The concept of 'hell' …. Renewed banishment …. God's infinite love ….
B.D. 6638 from September 7th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Even the most depraved living creation is a child of My love. Therefore it also has My unabated care to return to Me one day, even though it will have to travel a far longer path in order to bring itself into line with Me and My fundamental nature. But I will not let it fall, and whatever can be done on My part will be done by Me in order to help the creature to recognise and change itself. However, the distance is often so vast that the opposing force has greater influence and My illumination of love remains ineffective. For this reason it may also take eternities until it comes a little closer to Me but I will never abandon it …. However, when we talk about hell this relates to an accumulation of such depraved living creations in the beyond, which had already passed through earthly life with negative results and which continued to descend ever further in the beyond because they submitted themselves to My adversary anew …. Therefore, before a renewed banishment of the creations on earth takes place, which always signifies the beginning of a new era of Salvation, these adherents of Satan move within spheres where they can indulge in their most evil passions, where they inflict all kinds of evil deeds on each other and where constant fighting and arguing prevail and where they always try to draw weaker beings into their domain …. hence where they, on instructions of My adversary, act such that they will sink ever deeper. These places have no boundaries; hell is, in a manner of speaking, wherever such deeply fallen beings congregate, where they rage against each other …. on account of which one can also speak of on earth of hell and of states of hell when evil-minded people are hostile towards each other and wreak all kinds of havoc. All these beings are nevertheless My living creations on whom I take pity and whom I would like to release from their sin and their bondage to My adversary, for they are still wholly under the influence of the one who rose up against Me and who also incited all of his created beings to revolt against Me so that they, too, apostatised and became wretched.
But they had also been My children because they emerged from My strength which permeated My adversary without limitation and which enabled him to create these beings in the first place. Therefore My love also belongs to these beings no matter how deep they have sunk …. which will now also explain to you humans why a new creation of earth will have to take place. For I Am just as concerned about these unhappy creatures in the deepest abyss as I Am about the people on earth …. I also want to prepare a path again for those which have already languished under My adversary’s control for an infinitely long time; I want to wrest them away from him and constrain them once more in solid matter so that their path will go upwards again, so that the immense resistance they still offer Me will slowly wane …. My love for those having descended remains unchanged and will never diminish either, but there is no other way to demonstrate My love than through a renewed banishment into earthly creations, there is no other way to achieve success or their return, therefore it follows that a transformation of earth is necessary, as I always and forever proclaimed to you. Only love determines My every activity and reign throughout the universe, even if you humans are unable to detect love therein …. Sooner or later you will understand My plan of Salvation and give thanks and sing your praises to the One Who also guided you out of darkness and death, Who wants to give happiness to all beings which emerged from Him …. and Who, with invariable love, also considers those which require His love most urgently because His adversary is keeping them enslaved ….
Amen

Soft light …. Deceptive light …. (Sensationalism …. )
B.D. 6639 from September 8th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Due to the fact that people are moving increasingly further away from the truth their spiritual adversity is steadily increasing. They are no longer capable of discernment, error and lies seem more believable to them than pure truth so that conveying truth to them is becoming ever more difficult, precisely because their thoughts are confused due to the influence of the one who opposes the truth, because he opposes God and thus will do anything to keep people’s thoughts confused. You can truly call it spiritual chaos, and if truth is to prevail again it can only be brought about by people who receive the light of truth from God and thus, as bearers of light, try to pass it on. But even these bearers of light will find it difficult to be accepted, because the places where they want to work are particularly besieged by opposing elements, who more or less counteract them such that they apparently represent the same, in order to confuse even those who are willing to accept the truth. You humans have no idea about the battle of darkness against light during the last days before the end. Yet people would not need to fall victim to this battle, for anyone who desires truth from the bottom of his heart truly need not fear wrong thinking, and he will always notice when the adversary has infiltrated the spiritual knowledge that is offered to people. Thus he will also recognise where truth is to be found, and he will join the bearers of light and gladly accept the truth of God from them.
The truth is glowing but it is not a deceptive light …. and a deceptive light is anything that affects the eye as dazzling as lightening, rendering it unable to recognise the true light, which only emits a soft light that is soothing to the eye ….
If you now consider Christ’s plain and simple teaching and the powerful effect of the pure Word of God …. and compare them with the restlessness, tension and sensationalism people are subjected to through reports, which pretend to be of spiritual origin but make a person insensitive to Christ’s simple teaching, so that he only ever wants to see the unusual, exciting …. then you also know what is meant by ‘deceptive lights’ and that they cannot benefit your soul. If you turn to God you will also be looked after by God …. but if you turn to the powers in the universe whose actions you are unable to judge, you can also expect flashing deceptive lights from the universe, and then you humans will become confused, which is to be expected, since God’s adversary has found a suitable ground where he can establish himself.
As long as people are offered alternative nourishment to the ‘divine Word’, which appeals more to the senses than to the heart …. as long as activities of the spiritual world are associated with appearances of a mysterious nature …. thus, as long as ‘sensations’ are sought or feigned which, however, do not result in any ennobling influence on people’s souls, it is not God Who is at work but His adversary in disguise, in order to gain people for himself, in order to destroy their appreciation for the light from above, for the pure Word of God. And he is succeeding at this to an alarming degree as long as a person’s mind does not exclusively belong to God, as long as the world is not entirely overcome by those who believe that they have been called to improve the world and its people …. who are not satisfied with the soft shine of the divine light of love but prefer the dazzling glare of lightening and become blinded by it ….

Doubt about doctrines of faith …. spiritual compulsion ….
B.D. 6640 from September 9th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Being in inner conflict with a doctrine of faith is only ever advantageous because it proves the will for truth and because then the truth can also be mentally conveyed to the human being because he opens himself to receive it. Every doubt is preferable to absolute certainty as long as it is not the directly imparted truth which, however, will then also appear acceptable to a person seriously desiring truth, even if doubts have preceded it. In any case, however, doubt proves that the human being is not indifferent to the nature of the spiritual knowledge offered to him. And therefore it is to be condemned in any case if people are forbidden to think about a doctrine of faith, about the justification of the truth claim of such a doctrine …. The human being has the duty to think about it, because he alone has to bear the responsibility for his soul …. because this responsibility cannot be passed on to those who demand the unquestioning acceptance of a doctrine of faith. Only when the human being thinks for himself can spiritual good become useful to him, and then he will also …. if he is serious and demands truth …. will take offence at illusionary or untrue teachings. He will mostly start to doubt, and this is truly a blessing, for then he will open himself to the spiritual currents which are mentally conveyed to him through the world of light. It is so easy for the human being to attain truth, for the desire for it also secures him the attention of truth. But people have fallen into a certain laziness of thought precisely because of the well thought-out trick of God’s adversary to forbid people from thinking about what they are required to believe …. This is one of his most shameful means by which he has subjugated people to himself and can keep them in blindness of spirit …. But neither will man be able to excuse himself, for whatever the ‘supposed church’ demands of him …. he can turn to God Himself at any time and let Him advise and instruct him, and just one thought of wanting to fulfil God’s will would truly also reveal God’s will to him, for God has ways and means enough now (in order to) comply with the human being’s desire. But this very ‘desire’ is lacking in people, and they entrench themselves behind this commandment …. to accept every doctrine of faith unchecked and without hesitation. And thereby God’s adversary created many opportunities for himself to assert the pure truth without being offended. And therefore every doubt is the first step to escape from this area; every doubt proves one’s own thinking and use of intellect, which God gave to every human being because it concerns a free decision of will in earthly life. Every person has to stand up for himself, and his intellect can help him to do so if he wants to reach God, to fulfil his earthly task. But God’s adversary prevents this free decision of will by wanting to force them to adopt his way of thinking …. which, however, never leads to God …. And thus, as long as people are still dominated by spiritual coercion, as long as they are still forbidden to acquire knowledge and to freely choose their thoughts, they will still be under the adversary’s power, but they will immediately escape from him if they pursue the doubt arising in them and try to acquire the right knowledge …. And God meets them, He first lets them clearly recognize the baseless and wrong and then also guides them to the pure truth which will dispel their doubts and which they unhesitatingly and convincingly accept as truth. For the intellect should not only be used in earthly relationships but it is also the task of the intellect to fathom and clarify spiritual matters as soon as the human being seriously strives to perfect himself, to reach God and to think, want and act in accordance with His will …. Then he can be convinced that God will not let him fall prey to error because He Himself is the ‘eternal truth’ and He also wants His living creations to walk in truth ….

The being of God ….
B.D. 6641 from September 10th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
You humans will never be able to completely fathom My Being, for your own imperfection will prevent you from doing so for the first time, but I will also be and remain unfathomable for every being created by Me, because I am the eternal primordial centre Whose emanation you as well as all created beings are …. Creations of infinite tininess which are unable to grasp the elemental power from which they originated. And thus I can only ever give you pictorial explanations as long as you stay on earth, yet these explanations will always correspond to the truth, even though they are such that they can only be regarded as a weak comparison of what you want to know about My being. As long as you personify Me Myself, that is, as long as you imagine something limited as ‘God’, it is difficult to give you a correct explanation …. As soon as you imagine Me as ‘strength’ alone, you are likewise still thinking erroneously …. But if you are able to imagine something being-like, which fills the whole of infinity, or if you are able to imagine the whole of infinity as a living, I-conscious, thinking and exceedingly powerful being …. then you are already getting closer to the truth, for I am the all-filling spirit, Who knows no limitation, Who is everywhere and Who is nevertheless also present in the smallest, most inconspicuous work of creation …. Who is strength and light in Himself, Who is love, wisdom and power in highest perfection …. No-one can imagine this spiritual being because every created being is just a tiny spark of that divine strength which is precisely unable to grasp its creator. Yet the bliss of My living creations consists of being in contact with Me, their creator …. to live and work in the awareness of belonging to Me, to know themselves loved by Me and to constantly receive My strength of love …. This blessedness is increased by the fact that I …. the hitherto incomprehensible and unfathomable being …. that I likewise assumed a form for the formed being, that they can now communicate with Me as with something similar, because the strength of love flowing through the being triggers such a desire in them to be united with Me in intimate communion. As an all-filling spirit I cannot be visible to My living creations but I was able to shelter Myself in a form equal to their own, I was able to occupy a form in such abundance as it was able to contain while it was still earthly matter in order to then radiate through the spiritualized form without limitation, so that I was and remained visible to My living creations who were able to bear the sight of Me …. And every being can also experience this irradiation with divine strength of love and increase it to an ever higher degree, which therefore means the ‘deification’ of the created being, which I set as the aim for every being when I called it into life. The human being Jesus was therefore the first being to achieve this deification on earth and at the same time fulfil a mission which had become necessary due to the apostasy of the originally created spirits from Me …. Who, however, could only fulfil this mission if the ‘divine strength of love’ was used …. when love filled the human body to the highest degree. Thus I Myself, Who am the strength of love from eternity, had to be in the human being Jesus …. ‘Love’ had to embody itself in a human form so that the mission could now be carried out: to redeem the guilt of sin of the former turning away from Me …. I, the eternal deity, therefore took abode in the human being Jesus, but precisely in such a way that My essential strength: love, wisdom and omnipotence, poured into that human being, Who was to serve Me as a form and Who was also never to lose this form, because I wanted to become a ‘visible’ deity for you in it, Who has now become imaginable to you in such a form …. Nevertheless, I am and remain unfathomable in My beingness for all beings, because this also belongs to bliss, to always and forever strive for something seemingly unattainable and yet to know oneself loved by this elemental, supreme and most perfect being …. And I have proven this immense love to you humans through My death on the cross, which the man Jesus indeed suffered but was only able to suffer because of My love …. because I Myself was in Him and thus love accomplished the act of salvation which now made the highest beatitudes accessible to the created being, which it would never have been able to achieve without this act of mercy ….
Amen

Jesus' soul ….
B.D. 6642 from September 11th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Everything conveyed to you by My spirit will concur in its meaning …. It is certainly left up to people’s own will to assign a different meaning to the Words My spirit reveals to you, in which case such a person is not spiritually enlightened, nevertheless, it cannot be claimed that contradictory spiritual knowledge was conveyed to you by Me. For the ‘Spirit of God’ does not err …. And where an apparent contradiction appears to be present clarification needs to be requested; I Myself must be approached for an explanation: …. The soul of the human being Jesus came from above …. A spirit of light descended to Earth, a being which had come forth from Me and remained with Me entirely of its own free will when a large host of created spirits fell away from Me and plunged into the abyss …. But this spirit of light had to fulfil a mission as a human being, He had to descend into an unenlightened region, thus he had to leave his abundance of light behind to begin with, which merely would have had a disastrous effect since the people on earth were incapable of accepting such a light from above, thus they would have perished in its radiance. A human being had to accomplish the mission …. the act of Salvation for humanity …. And this person had to be in the same environment as his fellow human beings, for the point was to show them a path, to exemplify a way of life to them which they should follow …. Consequently, Jesus, the human being, had to be just as human as they were …. And so He was, despite the fact that the soul had descended from the kingdom of light …. The soul, which sheltered in the body of the infant Jesus, was just as influenced in its thinking, wanting and feeling by its earthly shell like any other human being …. Thus, due to its surrounding environment as well as its external shell, the same passions and cravings had to be awakened, for to live earthly life as a ‘human being’ also meant having to fight against the same instinct from within and outside …. After all, the point was to strive towards spiritualising the soul, to achieve the unity of the soul with its spirit, which is the purpose and goal of every person’s earthly life …. It was necessary to provide people with the proof that it was possible to achieve this spiritualisation on earth ….
And so Jesus, the human being, fought and struggled in the same way …. which therefore necessitated a similar natured soul …. which had nevertheless descended from the kingdom of light in order to be able to serve God Himself as an abode, Who would never ever have been able to manifest Himself in a sinful soul …. For Jesus’ soul was without sin, but this does not mean that it was entirely devoid of instincts and passions, for no matter how strong these weaknesses and passions of His were, no matter how strong the temptations approaching Him were, He resisted and was able to resist them because His love was also strong and this gave Him the strength for resistance. The soul of Jesus, the human being, left the light behind and entered the darkness …. And countless earthbound souls adhered to this soul, thus they besieged it in the same way that every human soul is besieged by dark forces …. Since Jesus had to travel the path as a human being, the soul was unable to push these beings away, instead it had to try to overcome them by means of a demanding battle, it had to muster the will not to give in when it was tempted. It was able to muster this will by virtue of the love it had not left behind, which was and remained its share because it was divine strength, with the help of which Jesus, the man, was intended and able to accomplish His mission …. but which would also enable every person to be victorious if only he would kindle and nourish the love in himself …. Time and again it must be stressed that the act of Salvation had to be accomplished by a human being, that Jesus at first should only be regarded as a human being, Who succeeded in spiritualising Himself on earth …. and that this human being had therefore entirely subordinated himself to natural law, that His physical body was like that of every other human being and that His soul was not allowed to defend itself either when impure spirits took possession of it …. However, at no time did He allow these spirits to gain the upper hand, because His will prevented this and because through love He also managed to find the necessary strength. Nevertheless, He had to struggle like every other person, for He should and wanted to be a shining example to them, He wanted to show them the path which they, too, could take in order to spiritualise themselves while still being on Earth. For only that which was also humanly possible could be expected of people …. If Jesus would have had strength at His disposal which was entirely impossible for people to acquire, He would never have been able to say: ‘Follow Me ….’ Yet this never excludes the fact that His soul came from above, that it had been a soul of light, in which God Himself took abode and was able to do so because it was pure and without sin, since love gave it strength to resist all temptations ….

Request for strength secures God's help upwards ….
B.D. 6643 from September 12th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Only with divine support will you be able to assert yourselves in earthly life against the temptations or oppressions of God’s adversary, for you cannot resist alone because you lack the strength to do so. No matter how bad his temptations are, no matter how cunningly and treacherously he acts against you, God’s grace is equally at your disposal, and you can always expect help from God if only you request it. It is solely a matter of your decision which lord you profess, which lord you want to belong to, and thus, if your will is turned towards God, you will also appeal to Him for help, which will always be given to you. But you will never be able to free yourselves from God’s adversary with your own strength, because you do not possess this strength when you enter earth as a human being. You once forfeited it yourselves, i.e. you rejected the strength which God gave you in excess …. And as weak, powerless beings you are now embodied on earth …. And now you have to ask for the strength again which you once rejected …. And it will flow to you without restriction, for God will certainly grant you this request, because you will only find your way back to Him with His strength and yet He longs for your return, thus He will also do everything to regain you who were lost to Him for an infinitely long time …. Thus your earthly life is an idle one if you live it apart from God, even if you are not His adversary’s outspoken instruments, because without God you will remain on the same level if you don’t sink back into the abyss again. But your path shall go upwards and for this you need strength. God constantly offers you this strength through His word which is intended to lead you to Him, which reminds you of a lord above you and which you want to accept in your heart and live out, because then strength will already flow over to you and your heart’s desire will now be for God, Who will imperceptibly pull you upwards. But without God you will not reach the height …. Ask Him for the supply of strength, turn to Him Whom you recognize as being above you, and through this request oppose the adversary and he will have to let go of you, as soon as you call upon God for protection against him, for strength to be able to withstand his temptations. For God does not leave you without help, He gives gladly and abundantly, and His flow of grace constantly flows to you …. Open yourselves and also constantly draw strength from God, and your earthly life will be a blessed one and lead you to your aim …. For even if the temptations are great, even if the decision in earthly life requires your entire will …. nevertheless God’s love is so great that He will grant you humans strength and grace to a far greater extent and you can well survive the battle against His adversary if only you make use of His love and grace ….
Amen

God's love for the apostate (degenerated) …. salvation ….
B.D. 6644 from September 13th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Even those who turn away from Me are children of My love, and My concern is also for them to find their way back to Me. Therefore do not believe that I have written off just one person before the end …. don’t believe that I will give one up before the last day has come. For the return to Me can come suddenly, and what My words could not achieve can still be brought about by unforeseen events which have such a profound effect on a person that a great change can take place within him, but then he will also be saved for eternity …. Every person’s soul is nevertheless connected to Me in its fundamental nature, it is the spirit of My spirit, and even if it is immersed in deepest darkness, it can nevertheless gain realization like a flash of lightning and then long to return to Me. But this also involves stirring events which are often so painful for the person himself that he feels close to the end and therefore carries out a ‘general cleansing’ …. that he suddenly realizes the wrongness of his way of life and heartfeltly desires to be or become a different person, if he still has the opportunity to do so. And I know the nature of every individual soul, I know its attitude towards Me and what it needs …. Therefore I also know how I have to attack it in order to win it over. And no matter how depraved the human being is, seen with the human eye …. The soul is and remains My share which I will never ever let fall …. And I always take into account the fact that it is imprisoned by My adversary and cannot free itself from him alone, that he has power over it, thus everything evil the human being does is his influence, his activity, which makes use of this very soul in order to do its mischief on this earth, and therefore I always see in this soul the enslaved being which cannot defend itself when it is driven by My adversary into despicable activity. The human being certainly has free will but it is so weak that he cannot resist without help. And he lacks this help because he does not turn to Jesus Christ, because he does not call upon Me Myself in Jesus Christ. And yet I love this soul and leave no stone unturned that it, too, will find the path to its saviour and redeemer. And thus you humans should also look at such apostate people with eyes of love, you should remember them with profound compassion and help them through good thoughts which will always have a beneficial effect on such wretched people who can indeed be successful in earthly life but who already have to (can) go through great hardship in earthly life, as My love and wisdom deemed good for their souls …. Show mercy to all those souls and don’t condemn them, for they are tormented, wretched beings for whom the path to Me can still be endlessly long if success is not recorded in the still short but exceedingly hard time of the end. Especially this being, which is completely controlled by the adversary, needs your help, your loving intercession and your good remembrance because it is exceedingly weak. Yet such people are detested by people and their ‘lord’ has all the greater power over them. And you should beware of this if you don’t want to increase his power. Wrest every soul from him which is in such distress, help them to find Me, which you are very well able to do if you give them loving thoughts which will always have a good effect, because love pushes the adversary away and gives the soul the strength to defend itself. You can still contribute infinitely much in the short time until the end that you have already found Me, if you also see My children in those people for whom I struggle until the end …. Just don’t condemn them and don’t show them hatred …. because this will only plunge them into greater darkness ….
Amen

God gives back many times …. gifts without love worthless ….
B.D. 6645 from September 14th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
What you voluntarily sacrifice you will receive back in many ways. You humans should never believe that you have to live in want yourselves if you sacrifice yourselves out of love for your neighbour, for your father in heaven knows what your situation is like and will never let the earthly child suffer a lack if it lives on earth in accordance with His will, if it practices love and always works in love. But people’s selfish love often keeps them from helping their neighbour, for they are not willing to sacrifice so as not to diminish themselves …. And these will never experience the blessing of the working of love and will also never be allowed to experience the pure joy of giving to themselves. But your father in heaven will repay you abundantly, you can be sure of that …. And thus wealth will always increase for an unselfish donor, spiritually and earthly the more he gives of what is his the richer he will be, he will not need to live in want, which is why no human being can excuse himself with poverty which prevented him from giving …. But the will to love is valued which accompanies every gift, for without love every gift is worthless, no matter how great and valuable it may be. And this again shows that even the knowledge of God’s return should not motivate a person to do good, for as soon as only self-love or calculation is the motive for an apparent work of love, it nevertheless has no value …. Only you should not let the fear arise in you that you will not be able to exist yourselves when you give to others, for this worry is unnecessary if only your heart impels you to give and to give happiness. And therefore it would truly be a paradise on earth if no human being would want to pass by the hardship of his fellow human being …. if everyone would relieve hardship regardless of his own situation …. For this will never get worse. But every good work would awaken love again and let people mature much faster …. But selfish love prevents this, and everyone thinks of himself first before he thinks of his fellow human being, but he himself will not be able to acquire anything through his own strength, he should bear this in mind …. And just as he first receives from God what earthly life gives him, he should also want to give out of inner impulse, and it will never be to his detriment. For every deed of love has a spiritual and earthly effect, and every deed of love is a step closer to God, Who Himself is love ….
Amen

Human responsibility …. free will ….
B.D. 6646 from September 16th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
You have to take the last step towards perfection in earthly life of your own free will …. Until then you were guided and could not go any other way since you were subject to the law of compulsion, thus you had to carry out everything God determined, whereas now in earthly life God’s will is indeed revealed to you but you have to fulfil it completely freely out of yourselves and therefore can also live your life contrary to His will. Thus it is, as it were, given into your own hands what you achieve in earthly life …. And this is a great responsibility for you, for your ‘thinking self’, which determines your will and actions. But precisely for this reason your perfection is often called into question because you do not respect God’s will but let your own will prevail which is opposed to divine will. And yet, everything depends on this short earthly time, for the life afterwards will be in accordance with this earthly lifetime. It can be immeasurably beautiful, a life of eternal bliss, but also immeasurably agonizing when the dark kingdom receives the soul after the death of the body …. And you decide that for yourselves …. As infinitely great as God’s love for His creatures is, He nevertheless cannot turn away a fate from them which they have created for themselves in free will …. He cannot influence the human being against his will because perfection would then also be impossible …. He can only ever admonish and warn through His word, but still leaving it up to the human being whether he heeds the divine word at all, whether he follows it. But it is only an exceedingly short time compared to eternity, which the human being should, however, evaluate differently than he does …. Yet the freedom of his will, which he has regained after an infinitely long time of bondage, he very often abuses and yet he cannot be prevented from doing so …. He could reach the highest perfection on earth, for nothing more is required of him than: to overcome his self-love so that he would then be compensated a thousand fold in the kingdom of light and glory for what he sacrificed in earthly life …. He only needed to give very little in order to receive an infinite amount …. But he does not want to believe this and thus enjoys it beforehand. And thus he is content with pleasures which cannot in the least outweigh what he forfeited …. But he cannot be prevented from doing so, for free will is not taken away from him, precisely because it is meant to prove itself, because the human being alone has to decide how to evaluate his earthly life …. He can only be guided, everything can only be presented to him and he can be helped by indications, but it must be left up to him what benefit he derives from his guidance of destiny …. And that God takes care of every human being with love, that He makes it easy for him and offers him all possibilities, that is truly without doubt because He loves all His creations and wants to win them back. But He will never forcibly try to influence people, and therefore there is a great danger that people will fail in their last test of earthly life …. And yet, no human being can say that he did not have the strength for this, for it is abundantly available to every person but it has to be requested or acquired through prayer and activity of love. Prayer, however, presupposes faith in God and loving activity presupposes a change in his self-love …. The human being can do both, for he has the ability to do so within himself, and he only needs to want to, then he will be supported by God in every way. His strength would be increased and a light would also be kindled in him …. But where the will is absent there is no hope, and earthly life has been put back without result. The body has been abundantly provided for but the soul has remained as it was in the beginning of its embodiment as a human being …. Heavenly bliss, which lasts forever, has been forfeited for the sake of worthless goods. And the soul must continue to go through hardship and misery and perhaps also cover its entire course of development once again …. but the human being’s will has determined this fate itself ….
Amen

What is the soul ….
B.D. 6647 from September 17th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
There is still a complete lack of clarity about problems which cannot be solved by human intelligence alone and where God’s spirit has to work even though its working is rarely acknowledged. But only He is able to give a clear answer to questions that concern unsolved problems. However, even the results of such working of the spirit are doubted although they alone correspond to the truth. Irrespective of what question is asked, only the answer given to people by God Himself through His spirit will always be correct …. However, ‘spirit’ should not be confused with ‘intellect’ because intellect can just as well reason in the wrong direction …. There is no guarantee that intellectual results correspond to truth or so many different opinions and points of view would not exist, all claiming to be truth but all merely gained by means of intellect ….
The ‘spirit’, however, is the radiance emanated by the Eternal Truth Itself which gives light, i.e. knowledge which is simply accepted by the intellect, for which there is no evidence. But the ‘spirit of God’ provides absolute innermost conviction, it provides comprehensive clarification even without making special use of the intellect: …. The concept of ‘soul’ cannot be tangibly explained to someone unless he has already acquired a certain amount of ‘spiritual knowledge’ because the soul is something spiritual, it has no earthly-physical quality and can therefore only be explained spiritually. The soul is the fluid essence which gives life to the body, to the physical form …. The soul is the actual life, the human being’s true ego, which is sheltered in an external physical shell, which cannot be seen but is always present as long as energy expresses itself in it. Without the soul the human being would not be a self-aware being. The soul is God’s once emanated strength which He externalised as a spiritual being to whom He gave an independent life. And this being was endowed with free will and the ability to think …. The fact that and why this spiritual being …. the soul …. shelters within the human body during its earthly life is a separate issue; first it should be explained that it is the soul which thus enables the human being to think, feel and want.
It should be emphasized that the soul is the animator of all organs, that every physical activity, every prompting of will and feeling is the expression of the soul within the body …. which is indeed something spiritual that cannot be seen by the human eye and which …. if it could be seen …. would fully resemble its external human shell. It is the soul which continues to live after the death of the body and which then can also be seen by other souls whose degree of maturity enables their spiritual vision. The soul can therefore never be explained as some kind of physical substance …. it is and remains spiritual substance, thus God’s spiritual emanation, which is intended to fulfil a purpose on earth …. It is indestructible and immortal but can differentiate itself from other souls by its emission of light, and the purpose of its earthly life consists of increasing the degree of light which it had once darkened of its own free will ….
It is not possible for anyone to explain the essence of soul purely scientifically because the soul is nothing tangible nor explicable with human senses but strength from God’s strength, Whose essence is and remains equally inexplicable but Who cannot be denied by thinking people. Just as the soul is the true Self of the human being which cannot be defined either, which exists yet cannot be proven, which certainly controls the functions of the physical organs but can also exist without the body, whereas the body without the soul is completely lifeless matter even if all organs are still unchanged …. But the life is missing as soon as the soul leaves the body …. something is missing that activates the body, which triggers the organs’ functions, which decisively influences the brain voluntarily and which arouses the stirring of every resolve in a person …. And this thinking, wanting and feeling something …. the soul …. now exists in other spheres but always as the same being which previously inhabited the body. And therefore it can also be recognised in the realm of the beyond which, however, requires a certain degree of maturity ….

Dishing out the truth …. leading …. spreading light ….
B.D. 6648 from September 18th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Take care of the ignorant and introduce them to the truth …. Again and again I give you this instruction, but I also know how difficult it is to pass on to your fellow human beings what you receive directly from Me, because I also know that people’s thinking is too real, that they mostly close their minds to the spiritual and that they also don’t want to believe that they can be taught by spiritual beings who work on My behalf. And thus they also don’t believe in a direct impartation of truth …. but they unhesitatingly accept what is conveyed to them by human beings. If the leaders on earth were to be won over, people’s thinking and knowledge would truly be better off because they would be believed …. But precisely the leaders are inaccessible to the spiritual transmission of truth, and yet they could spread infinite blessings through truthful enlightenment. Only people who make contact with Me Myself will think correctly, and I can also enlighten their spirit as soon as they are willing to impart spiritual knowledge to their fellow human beings. But no-one will attain the truth on his own, through pure intellectual thinking, for I reserve this for Myself, and in order to receive it the bond with Me has to be sought and established first. But it is urgently necessary that the truth should be spread, because the knowledge of truth alone can bring about a change, because truthful thinking will also result in a way of life in accordance with My will. But conversely, the human being will not fulfil his purpose of earthly life if he is not properly enlightened …. Unless his life is an activity of love which then also gives him enlightenment from within through the spirit and guides him into right thinking. Love is decisive as to how far a person stands in truth …. And no matter how highly developed a person’s intellect is …. If he does not possess a love-filled heart which constantly impels him into loving activity, then his intellectual thinking does not correspond to the truth either, and then he will neither achieve spiritual progress himself nor be able to lead his fellow human beings onto the right path, because the right path to Me is only ever the path of truth …. Without love there is no recognition of truth …. People must first know that love is the ‘fire’ from which the ‘light’ of truth shines. And if a person’s love fills his heart, then he will also be accessible to the ideas of a light bearer, and then it will be easy for both of them …. to distribute light and to accept light …. And then beneficial work can also be done for fellow human beings who need guides as long as they don’t make themselves receptive for the truth from Me, which I constantly try to convey to people who are of good will. People’s attention should only be drawn to the fact that it is not the highly developed intellect but only a heart capable of love and willing to love which guarantees that pure truth will be offered to them, and thus they should and can also test the value of every spiritual gift, and they will always be able to believe a person whose way of life reveals love, for his thinking will also move in truth ….

An hour of Christianity …. The way to God's heart ….
B.D. 6649 from September 20th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Only few people find the way to My heart, and only few people are willing to walk that way even though they claim to be faithful Christians, even though they outwardly belong to those who have joined clerical organisations and are therefore called religious. All these have indeed followed this path but have stopped before they reached My heart. You humans can understand this when you take a closer look at your earthly life which gives priority to the world, to physical welfare, and when you give serious account of how little time you spend thinking of Me and your actual purpose in life. And for the most part you only give Me the traditionally designated time …. a short morning, noon and evening prayer or the hour of the official church service. Only rarely do your thoughts search for Me of their own free will, only rarely do you speak to Me of your own accord, only rarely do you desire to come into heartfelt contact with Me …. your thinking will always be completely occupied with earthly worries, earthly plans and earthly pleasures.
I Am not the main subject of your thoughts, even if you believe in Me as your Creator and Preserver you are still a long way from seeing the Father in Me to Whom you are drawn by your love …. And therefore you only rarely take the way to My heart, or you would be able to speak to Me like children to their Father, so that you could let Him be with you in every situation in life, so that you more than less live your life in close contact with Me. Then you would also talk about Me more often, your conversations would take other directions in that case, because hardly anyone mentions Me in daily life and those who do are smiled at contemptuously, they are not taken seriously ….
This is how you humans are in reality, only seldom can I be present within you because you don’t remember Me and even less often come together in My name …. Only seldom do you sacrifice Me an hour due to actual inner need …. and therefore I say, only few people walk the way to My heart, only few allow Me to be their constant companion on this earth. And this hour of Christianity cannot result in spiritual progress, as long as it only consists of the traditional visit to the church service and the performance of its rites it is not a voluntary relationship with Me …. Only the living relationship, the inner urge of your free will, can help you humans to perfection, and the desire to hear My Word and to offer food to the soul will be considered as longing for Me and will be fulfilled.
And the human being should give account of himself about his innermost feelings for Me and to what extent he simply observes the traditional requirements which he was taught, and whether he merely observes them traditionally too …. I look into the hearts and no one can deceive Me but I also long for those hearts and Am not satisfied to be only in second or third place. And as long as the world and its demands are still in first place you belong to the ‘dead Christians’ because living Christianity expresses itself differently …. It consists of an unceasing activity of love, i.e. an activity with Me. And the human being with whom I can be present because of love will always remember Me too, he puts Me before all worldly matters and starts nothing without sincerely uniting with Me first ….
But there are only few and yet, many people believe they live the right way because they live in accordance with clerical demands. And all these will not stand firm at the time of the last decision, for they will lack the strength which they have to receive directly from Me and therefore they need the heartfelt inner union with Me …. You should know that the time will come when the last decision will be demanded of you and you will then experience serious difficulties if you don’t possess living faith which, however, requires that you have to find the way to My heart and proceed on it …. Because only I can give you strength but I have to be present with you, and therefore you have to unite with Me in love ….

Power of living faith …. presence of God ….
B.D. 6650 from September 21st 1956, taken from Book No. 71
The world will still make great demands on you which you should be able to cope with. And you must spiritually acquire the strength to do so, for there are also spiritual attacks which indeed come from the world but precisely for that reason require much strength to resist. I want to prepare you for this time, I want to strengthen your faith, but this can only ever happen if I impose tests of faith on you, the passing of which results in an ever stronger faith. Again and again I tell you that I need faithful servants on earth, and again and again I recruit new servants because much work is still to be done before the end. But all these servants must have strong faith because otherwise they are unfit to work in My vineyard. And therefore they must be unusually loving and thereby increase their strength of faith, for they can only speak vividly for Me and My name if they themselves are alive in their faith …. They must serve their fellow human beings as an example of the strength a living faith produces and how only this living faith can be won …. The working of love is indispensable in order to attain strong faith, and the working of love is stimulated by fellow human beings’ adversity and suffering …. which therefore cannot be eliminated and can bring much blessing. But I also have other means to let you humans mature into a strong faith, after all, it is only a matter of feeling Me present, of coming so close to Me that you then trustingly present all your needs and worries to Me and ask Me for help, which will then also become yours …. You must look for My closeness and commune with Me ever more often …. for then even doubts which still exist will give way to the certainty that I will help you. And then you will no longer let go of Me. It is My presence which gives you security, and for this reason I would like you to call upon Me through heartfelt prayer …. For the closer you draw close to Me the easier I can influence you so that you will feel Me and then also firmly believe. And you will need such faith in the coming time …. and this alone is the reason why you will be able to stand firm. The world can still push you away from Me, that is, you feel two realms, as it were, and cannot unite them, the spiritual kingdom will be displaced as soon as the world approaches you. And this separation must be removed by you …. You must feel just as connected to Me in the world and know that I am present to you, only then will you also have power in the world and your vineyard work will be successful …. Then you will not fear the world which threatens you because you will know that I am at your side …. This alone I want to achieve, and therefore I try everything to draw you so firmly to Me that this bond can no longer be loosened by worldly impressions or worldly demands on you. And illnesses and suffering, hardship and worries also serve this purpose, because they can result in this intimate bond with Me and then an over-strong faith is certain gain …. “Come to Me when you are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest ….” – “Ask, and it shall be given you; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Always remember these words and take the path to Me, and know that I am your father and also want to be loved by you, His children, as a father. And a loving father does not leave his children in adversity as soon as he can help them …. And you will not doubt that I can help you, that I want to help you is proven again and again by My words which betray love for you, and love is always ready to help ….
Amen

Caller on the earth's path ….
B.D. 6651 from September 22nd 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Long distances are still to be covered by those who do not heed My call, Who draws their attention to a short path and yet they pass it by. They can still wander for endless times and will not reach their aim because they have taken a wrong direction. But again and again paths branch off, to Me …. But if they are not followed, the human being will eternally not reach the aim. But I do not stop calling so that they will be stopped by the call and can reflect whether they want to walk on or turn back and turn into the right path …. And such calls always sound for a person when My word is presented to him, when his attention is drawn to My will in some way, which can happen conversationally or also through writings, because again and again the human being is forced into trains of thought which involve Me Myself or his actual purpose of existence. Then a call from above will sound to him, as it were, then messengers from Me will step into his path, and then he will be prompted for a short time to make a statement which can be beneficial or also detrimental for him …. Most people take this wrong path which does not lead to the aim, but I do not let up with My indications to change the path, and I will not let up until the end, for again and again paths branch off which lead to the height …. to Me …. and until the last hour the human being will still be able to change his mind and leave the old path if only he listens to My messengers once. But there is a great obstacle, there is a reason which makes people far rather go wrong …. My adversary persuades them to be on the right path …. that is, everyone is so convinced of himself, of his knowledge and his value, that he does not like to listen to the advice of others, and this self-assurance is whispered to them by My adversary who tries to prevent people from striving towards Me. A person who doubts himself and his thinking will look around and ask and therefore also listen if he encounters a caller on his path …. And this person is easily influenced to leave his path and continue on a different path, and he will truly not regret having followed the guide who lured him onto the right path …. But with most of them the callers only meet with rejection, because the wanderers feel superior to them, because they themselves believe to possess the best knowledge of the right path. My adversary has gained great power over people, for they willingly follow him wherever he leads them. But no-one will be able to say that he has not been addressed by My messengers, no-one will be able to say that he has never seen paths which branched off from his own …. No one will be able to say not to have come into contact with people who broached spiritual conversations and espoused views different from his own …. And everyone had the duty to also think for himself once, because then enlightening thoughts would certainly have come to him, for I always help where only the slightest will is evident to think and do what is right. But every person retains the freedom of his will, and therefore he must also answer for how he has used his free will. The broad, even path is taken en masse, many walk along it self-confidently but most only follow them as fellow travellers who don’t think about the aim they reach themselves and who also allow themselves to be led by those without any concern that it could also be their undoing. And again and again My messengers mingle with the masses, drawing their attention to the byways, but they find little hearing, and only very few hikers join them who have faith in those messengers and also do not fear the somewhat more difficult ascent. Yet a glorious aim awaits them which all people could reach but only a few do, because people don’t pay attention to My messengers whom I send their way again and again in order to help them attain beatitude ….
Amen

Right assessment of life on earth ….
B.D. 6652 from September 24th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
You cannot comprehend the bliss the spiritual kingdom will give you if you transform your being during your life on earth in such a way that you can take possession of the realm of light. Nor can it be illustrated to you, because you would then live your life on earth to some extent with an attitude of coercion and thus the purpose of your life would be completely lost. And although it is presented to you as truth there is no proof because it would endanger your freedom of will. But this much can be said, that the most difficult life on earth in hardship and distress, in sickness and despair, will be compensated a thousand times by this state of happiness, and in retrospect you won’t be able to understand the difficulties you experienced when you had to make sacrifices. Because then the time on earth will appear to you like a fleeting moment and the whole eternity of bliss will be ahead of you ….
You humans place too much importance on your earthly life, in a worldly sense …. Spiritually it is indeed significant for you because a rightly lived earthly existence can result in said eternity of happiness. But what this earthly life gives you in a worldly sense is entirely useless and merely offers a temporary sense of well-being compared to eternity. You should always consider that one day you won’t understand how you could have enjoyed things that were of no spiritual value …. and you will be grateful to every soul who showed you the worthlessness of such things and guided your vision towards other goals. But as long as you humans live on earth you won’t appreciate such advice and therefore Jesus said ‘the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and only the violent take it for themselves ….’
If you would try to imagine the endlessly long time that your soul has already walked on this earth and that eternity is ahead of you then you could better evaluate the short lifetime on earth. You would know that it is really just a moment and gladly give up the pleasures of this moment in view of the blissful happiness which you would acquire by making an effort. This is exactly your test of will: that you don’t strive after the share of God’s opponent but that you strive towards God as your goal …. And when you humans receive such evident help by being given the knowledge about the purpose of your earthly life, when your eyes are being opened to enable you to see what the blind person doesn’t see, then the goal should entice you too, because earthly life won’t last forever and for the individual it can even end tomorrow ….
Your earthly existence is questionable because you cannot be certain to enjoy it for long …. however, every one of you can be certain of the spiritual life, it just can turn out very differently. And that is something you determine yourselves with your attitude in earthly life. Yet you nevertheless have the right and the duty to take the place that was assigned to you in your earthly life. Consequently, the pleasures of life are not denied to you and God does not expect you to become hermits, nor to completely retreat from the world …. But you should not let the world dominate you, you should be master of the world, you should make the world serve you, as it is God’s will …. but remember that the meaning and purpose of existence in this world is always spiritual development, which you can indeed achieve during your earthly life …. ‘The world’ should not completely occupy the human being’s thoughts but spiritual thoughts should dominate instead, then the world will no longer be a danger even though the human being completely lives in the midst of the world. And the human being should always be aware that earthly life is not an end in itself but only the means to an end ….
Whoever accepts these thoughts for himself will not be satisfied with the offerings of the world …. He will search and strive for higher goals and the world will no longer be a danger to him, he will no longer find fulfilment in the world because he will have recognised its real worth, or worthlessness. More over, God gave the human being with his creation many gifts which the human being may safely enjoy, just as He leaves it to the human being to take rightful pleasure in all things as long as only God Himself is and remains the most important goal for the human being ….
Amen

Heralds of the word called by God ….
B.D. 6653 from September 26th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
It is truly a beneficial task to proclaim the gospel which originates from Me Myself. For people suffer from a lack of it because they are rarely only presented with pure truth, because I Myself can no longer address people as long as the proclaimer of My word has not been chosen by Me for this office …. if he has granted himself this office without having been called to it by Me. The proclamation of My gospel, of the divine teaching of love, is inevitably necessary for humanity because it should know My will in order to live in accordance with it on earth. Thus I will bless everyone who makes himself available to Me and teaches his fellow human beings on My behalf. But he must first be informed by Me of My will, or he must be of such a nature that I Myself can address the people through him to whom he wants to proclaim My word. I cannot use him for this office if he wants to spread his own knowledge which he has acquired through study and which he believes to be the truth …. Before he takes up his office he must first unite himself with the One he wants to proclaim …. He, as a right servant in My vineyard, must first receive the orders of his lord …. he has to hear the instructions from Himself in order to be accepted by Him as a servant and to be looked after with a task. As far as earthly matters are concerned, this is a self-evident process for you humans that every subordinate receives instructions from his superior …. But when proclaiming My gospel you are often satisfied with what fellow human beings present to you, but you do not approach the actual lord for His instructions …. You elevate yourselves to a place which I have not assigned to you, you call yourselves ‘representatives of God’ or ‘servants of God’ and are often not in direct contact with Him yourselves. And those who suffer are those to whom you want to proclaim My word but who therefore lack strength because I Myself cannot speak to them through you, thus they do not hear My word but your own words which therefore will have little effect of strength unless the hearers themselves unite with Me so intimately that they then hear My voice in your words. But for this reason I bless those whom I could call to teaching activity through their own will, for they will never speak their own words but always allow Me Myself to speak, and if I now address people they will noticeably receive strength and light. You can see for yourselves the hardship humanity is in because too few genuine representatives are active by the lack of faith which has taken hold amongst people, because these words do not penetrate, because they have no effect on the listeners, because their proclaimers were not called by Me but only created a profession for themselves, a worldly employment under a spiritual cloak …. Proclaimers of My gospel called by Me Myself will never use empty words but always speak vividly, full of conviction and zeal they will represent Me and My name and only ever proclaim truth which will convince again when the listener has a desire for My word. And such a living proclamation will also be successful, the listeners will let the word penetrate their hearts and make an effort to also become doers of the word, (26.9.1956) because I Myself address them and My address truly has a different effect than mere words which are devoid of spirit and life, albeit they shall reflect what I Myself preached on earth. Only if My representatives on earth make it possible that I Myself can speak through them will there be success with people. But there are far more empty preachers of the word than those who are alive and preach in My spirit. But only the latter can bring it about that people awaken and become alive themselves, because only those can work through My strength of spirit which awakens life, which brings the dead back to life …. And I will bless those who are active for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Individual's decision of will ….
B.D. 6654 from September 26th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
It is every individual person’s task to still reach the last aim on earth, but it is only fulfilled by a few. Every human being stands isolated in creation, even though he has contact with his fellow human beings; but everyone has to pursue his development of ascent for himself, he can only find loving support, but his own will is always a prerequisite. And this will is what earthly life is about …. The will can indeed be stimulated in many ways to take a certain direction but it cannot be forcibly determined to do so …. And it can often be influenced and yet it decides differently, and it renders all influences ineffective. But the decision of will alone is what matters in earthly life, which every human being has to make for himself. Hence there are two aims which the human being on earth can strive for …. the world, earthly matter, the goods which are transient, or the spiritual kingdom, which also reveals itself to people on earth but, because it is not visible or tangible, is mostly overlooked. Both aims are known to people, it is just that the spiritual aim is very often unbelievable to people, even though they are presented with knowledge about it …. Therefore the choice is not easy when it concerns visible and invisible goods for which the human being should decide. And he usually chooses what is visible and tangible to him and completely ignores the other aim. But his will is free …. There is therefore only one possibility to disparage in his eyes the goods that appear desirable to him …. to present them as pseudo-goods without value, as impermanent and illusory …. on the other hand, to emphasize the spiritual goods as solely valuable and permanent. Man cannot be forced to think rightly, but it is possible for him to do so …. And just as little can he be forced to think wrongly …. He is free to do both, he has to make the decision all by himself, because this decision also determines his later life in the spiritual kingdom. And therefore he is approached by the most diverse experiences which are all suitable to guide his thinking into the right direction, but opposing influences are not left out either …. And the human being is often forced to make decisions which he has to make himself. And now only his innermost attitude towards God is decisive …. If the human being only has a little faith in a God and creator then he will also feel that he belongs to Him and make the right decision …. But if he lacks this faith, then God’s adversary will have the upper hand and the human being will decide in his favour. Only faith in God must be present, then the right decision is certain. But precisely this faith is not often present because humanity is on a low spiritual level, thus it is still in bondage to God’s adversary who would like to stifle all realization, all knowledge of a God of eternity in people. Yet God constantly ensures that this knowledge is conveyed to people, and anyone of good will also knows that he is united with a power Which gave him life. And his will will also certainly turn to this power …. It is possible for every human being to come to this realization that a ‘higher power’ rules the world and that he himself is dependent on this power. But not every human being accepts this realization. There are many who close their minds to every reasonable explanation, who do not want to be subject to a power and who can therefore easily be ruled by God’s adversary …. But their will is free …. And thus every individual person’s decision remains a matter of free will, and eternal life depends on this decision …. the earthly or the spiritual world will dominate thinking, i.e., God or His adversary has an influence on the human being but the human being himself determines his lord …. And thus it will certainly also be possible for the human being to reach the final aim if only his will is correctly directed …. to God, Who will then also provide him with strength which, however, he will lack if he allows himself to be controlled by God’s adversary ….
Amen

Serious admonitions and warnings from God …. sheet anchor ….
B.D. 6655 from September 27th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
You will drift inexorably towards the abyss if you don’t grasp the sheet anchors yourselves which again and again are thrown to you by My love. But this grasping of a lifeline requires your will, and this is too weak or turned towards completely different aims so that you don’t pay attention to what could mean salvation for you. And thus time will pass until the end without you being willing to leave the paths which lead towards the abyss. And you cannot be prevented from doing so …. Nor will My unusual intervention bring you to your senses, you will accept it with the same unbelief which is your nature before, you will indifferently follow everything and seek again to arrange and continue life for your benefit …. You will remain untouched by what should be a last attempt to awaken people and urge them on a different path …. But you will not be able to stop the last end, which will then bring a hard lot for you …. the new banishment in the creations of the new earth. Because of your freedom of will you cannot be hindered in your conduct of life, you can only be made aware of it again through warnings and admonitions, yet this, too, depends on your free will as to whether these warnings and admonitions make an impression on you, whether they influence and stimulate you into a change of will. And therefore earthly life continues in an apparently orderly manner, an apparent blossoming can be observed as far as earthly plans are concerned, untiring work and activity can be observed, an accumulation of earthly values, an increased lust for life is evident, success upon success, and people are satisfied with this earthly development as soon as it provides them with physical advantage, physical comfort. But the deeper they sink spiritually. For in the midst of their earthly striving they completely forget their actual earthly task, that they should mature spiritually …. But I have recognized this state since eternity, and My plan of salvation has also been determined in accordance with it, which then provides for an end of the development period when no more spiritual successes are evident on this earth. And this point in time will soon come, for there are only very few spiritually striving people but an infinite number of only worldly oriented ones. And since the purpose of the earth is only the upward development of the soul, but this is no longer regarded as a priority, the earth has fulfilled its mission for this epoch …. it must give way to a completely new-ordered earth, or also: a new order must be established on this earth so that it again corresponds to its actual meaning and purpose. But it can never be expected that the people on this earth will change again …. They drift ever further downwards and I stop this fall by binding them again in the creations of the new earth. There is no spiritual change on this earth, as is often assumed by those who don’t want to believe in an end of this earth period …. But the change will come, however, on the new earth a spiritually more mature human race will be found which will now live a life again according to My will and in constant contact with the spiritual kingdom …. But such a life can never be expected on this earth because the material spirit is too developed, because My adversary keeps people in bondage and they themselves do not oppose him. Therefore, what he thought he could plunge into the abyss will be taken from him …. His share will be snatched from him through the new banishment, thus he himself will be weakened for a long time and will no longer be able to harass people because they have given themselves to Me and are withdrawn from his influence. But one thing is certain, that you humans on this earth are close to this turning point, that you have to reckon with an end of this earth and that this end also means a complete destruction of the earth’s surface, which also includes the end of man and animal, thus of every creature. This is why again and again words of love and mercy sound to you humans, this is why I don’t stop sending you admonitions and warnings, this is why again and again I throw you lifelines, because I want to help you to grasp the whirlpool of the world and not let yourselves drift on …. otherwise you will inevitably end up in the abyss and face an agonizing fate, the new banishment in the creations of the new earth ….
Amen

Power stream from God ….
B.D. 6656 from September 28th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Try to receive the divine currents of strength within yourselves by opening yourselves to Him, Who is the source of strength from eternity. Your thoughts, your will, your desire may only be turned towards Him, and your heart must open willingly in order to receive from the eternal source of strength what God wants to give to all His creatures: strength and light in abundance. Consciously enter into silence in order to unite with Him and cultivate this intimate contact, and you will always be strengthened anew, His love will always give you what you lack and what you desire …. You must live more consciously …. by always longing for the nearness of the one Who is your father and to Whom you should establish the right relationship as children in order to also experience the father’s love. Life has been given to you by God and therefore you should always remember Him with love and gratitude, you should not take it for granted but also appreciate this extraordinary grace by not letting go of Him in your thoughts and thus a continuous overflow of His strength can take place in you which will let you grow and mature until perfection …. And when you feel certain of the influx of strength then you will also be able to accomplish or overcome everything, then every weakness will fall away from you, for then you will be in possession of the most delicious good …. Divine strength fills you and you are aware of God’s presence …. Your earthly progress shall bring you to this state where you have become overcomers because you are allowed to make unrestricted use of divine strength, but you still have too little faith that you are allowed to appropriate this strength, and yet God requires nothing more of you than that you open yourselves to His strength …. that you appeal to Him for the supply of strength and at the same time are already willing to accept it …. that you let yourselves be fully consciously permeated and, as it were, surrender your whole body to Him so that He takes possession and expels everything that is ignoble …. that you only seriously want to become a receptacle of divine strength. Your will is everything, and your will also causes everything, as soon as it is spiritually directed …. And to be filled with strength from God is a spiritual desire which is fulfilled. The desire for divine strength still expresses itself too little, even in spiritually striving people …. For then the body tangibly feels this lack of strength, and it has to suffer …. But where there is strength from God, there is no suffering, no illness, no hardship, for all this is overcome with divine strength …. God wants to be present to you always and forever …. But you do not always allow His presence. When you perform works of love you tie Him to you because He Himself is love …. But you can also cause Him to be present through thoughts, and you should make use of this and thus never go without Him, for He only waits for your call, which is every thought turned towards Him …. And He responds to this call and will make you happy as a sign of His presence with power in the form you request …. And He will speak to you as a sign of His presence when you open your ear, or He will convey strength to you when you open your heart to His flow of grace …. You should make use of His love and always allow yourselves to be given, for He only ever wants to give if only He recognizes your willingness to receive, if only you are willing to accept what His love has intended for you …. Power and grace in abundance which will make you overcomers on this earth. For strength from God is always effective if only its effect is permitted …. if only the human being faithfully trusts this strength ….
Amen

Presence of God safest protection
B.D. 6657 from September 29th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
You can be certain that My fatherly hand constantly guides you and that you cannot go astray if I Myself am your aim. In times of earthly adversity you often believe that I have withdrawn My guiding hand from you, that I leave you to your fate, and then you become anxious and despondent …. Yet in every adversity of body and soul I am closer to you than ever, I only want you to strive to come closer to Me, that you long for Me, and therefore I seemingly keep Myself hidden in order to awaken the feeling of abandonment in you which then makes you look for Me, that you seek Me and desire to be intimately united with Me. The intimate bond with Me also brings you back the certainty that I am always ready to help. I always walk beside you but at times you are not aware of it because you turn your eyes to the world or because you are too busy with yourselves and therefore don’t think of Me. And every lonely walk will frighten you, for then you will also be exposed to harassment on the part of your soul’s enemy, which I will not prevent because you should realize that you need Me Who wants to be your protection and shield, your guide and companion. The dangers for you are becoming ever more imminent if you walk your earthly path alone, because the number of your enemies in the last days is immense, and therefore you need ever more of My help and guidance in order to withstand the tribulations. But you humans are not aware of this danger and therefore often careless because you distance yourselves too far from the one Who alone can help you …. And therefore I always remind you of Me through hardship and suffering which you cannot cope with on your own …. because I want you to turn to Me, to let your thoughts wander to Me ever more often, to grant Me a permanent stay with you, but which your will alone only makes possible, that you mentally unite with Me and thereby draw Me to you. The closer it gets to the end the more strongly the world will bind you, not only due to your love for the world, which you may already have overcome, but the demands of the world will still be on you, because every individual has to fulfil his duties in the midst of the world, which often seem unfulfillable to him …. And there is the danger that worldly worries and thoughts will try to displace Me, that you will hardly find time for a quiet hour which you give to Me and therefore neglect to let Me take part in your worries and turn to Me for advice and help, for the allocation of strength for your earthly path of life …. And then you will become weaker and weaker, and yet you could also provide yourselves with ample strength for the most difficult situation in life, because I am always willing to impart it to you if only you ask Me Myself. Let it be said to you that you need not fear any weakness as long as you let Me walk beside you and consciously remain in constant contact with Me. But don’t exclude Me from your thoughts, don’t let the worries of the world push themselves forward, no matter how great they appear. I certainly have the power to take them away from you but that is why I want to be intimately approached, I always want to be felt as present by you and therefore always be the main content of your thoughts. As soon as you withdraw Me I will also obviously withdraw Myself, and then the world will always oppress you more …. However, if you grasp My hand to guide you through all adversity then your fear and weakness will also leave you, for then you will receive My strength, it will flow into you through the intimate bond you establish with Me …. And I require this intimate bond which, unfortunately, you often sever and thereby cause Me to seemingly withdraw …. You will still need much strength in the coming time, and it will always be at your disposal if only you, like children, reach for the father’s hand, Who will safely guide you until you have reached your aim ….
Amen

Acknowledge God before passing away …. come all to Me ….
B.D. 6658 from September 30th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
No matter what spiritual state you are in you will always find help if you desire it. And therefore My word is conveyed to you which you can use to strengthen yourselves at any time, which will always become a source of strength for you if you willingly listen to it and try to comply with it. My word will give strength to those of weak faith, and it will also be most precious to those who are already Mine, who are strong in faith and love …. And My word can also touch a person’s heart who is faithless if only he allows himself to be addressed without resistance …. Then the effect of My word can be that he becomes thoughtful and his will to defend himself decreases, for My word always has a powerful effect where there is only no open resistance. For this reason I will also occasionally address the faithless through My messengers if they don’t show any open resistance, always in the hope that they will remember it one day and revive My words in them again …. but just as I also make use of a person’s temporary weakness of faith to come before them Myself and address them ….. Although always through My servants who let Me speak through them. And such open words can considerably contribute to the strengthening of faith, which every human being urgently needs. You humans are all in need of help, whether you are of weak or strong faith, for you have not yet attained the strength which relieves you of all earthly adversity, because you are all severely harassed by the enemy of your souls, who has been so conspicuously active lately that even My own will not remain untouched. And there is no better antidote to his activity than My word, which is the emanation of strength from Me and therefore also the best help against him. Anyone who willingly listens to My word is immune to his influence …. And therefore My adversary makes good use of this time when the human being shuts himself off from My word …. Therefore, when you are oppressed by evil power, only take refuge in Me by allowing yourselves to be addressed by Me, by immersing yourselves in My word and depriving it of the strength to resist his oppressions …. The will to hear Me Myself already displaces him, and My word is the best means of protection against his temptations and attacks. My own usually take this path to Me of their own accord when they are in spiritual or earthly adversity …. But I also call out to the weak in faith as well as to the faithless: “Come to Me when you are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest ….” In every affliction you should come to Me, i.e. send a thought to Me which I recognize as a cry for help and also come to your aid …. Therefore I say you will all experience My help, no matter what spiritual state you are in, if only you turn to Me. And I especially appeal to those who don’t believe in Me that they should nevertheless make an attempt to call upon the one for help in unusual distresses, Whom they refuse to acknowledge …. I am not resentful, I will also come to their aid in order to reveal Myself to them. For I want to win the lost for Myself even before the end has come. For this reason I also use seemingly cruel means for which you humans cannot explain yourselves. But if I only achieve a call for Me when completely faithless people send such a call to Me, then these means will not have been in vain, and they themselves will recognize the blessing of that adversity even if they are taken from this earth …. but I Myself have been able to address them and have been heard by them, and now I can lead them further on the path of ascent …. If only I achieve that I am acknowledged before the departure from this earth, then the soul will be saved, then My adversary will have lost it for good, then the resistance will be broken, and then it can slowly ascend to the ascent in the kingdom of the beyond too …. And therefore I speak constantly and to all …. Whoever lets himself be addressed by Me is saved, and over him My adversary has lost the power and the right …. he is Mine and will remain so for all eternity ….
Amen

Renewed reminder to vineyard workers ….
B.D. 6659 from October 1st 1956, taken from Book No. 71
An office has been assigned to you by Me, and as soon as you are willing to serve Me you will also be able to administer this office, for I don’t demand anything of you which you cannot fulfil. Nevertheless, at the same time you must also make an effort to gain My satisfaction, for I require diligent work from you, as only the person who loves Me and therefore also serves Me joyfully will achieve. As soon as the human being’s zeal diminishes, his work will also be less successful. But it is urgently necessary in the last days before the end …. And My adversary will be just as eager to hinder your work, to undermine it and make it ineffective, and he will have much success. And his success will tire you and there is a danger that you will slacken in your work for Me and My kingdom. Again and again I tell you that you should nevertheless remain eager and not allow yourselves to be influenced by his successes and your apparent failures …. For I Myself am on your side and you work on My behalf, thus also under My blessing. You, as My disciples of the end time, do not have an easy ministry because little faith will be placed in you. But you possess something exceedingly effective in My word which is directly commanded to you by Me …. And this word cannot be outweighed by anything else, even if My adversary sets the world with its goods against it …. All this is transient but My word will last for eternity. Every person to whom you impart My word will be addressed by Me Myself through this word, and he will draw strength in abundance from this address and his soul can no longer get lost. And since the soul is the imperishable, it will awaken in the spiritual kingdom after the death of the body because it has come to life through My word …. And therefore My instruction to you, My servants on earth, is to only ever convey My word to your fellow human beings, which you receive directly from Me …. Take this work seriously, for you possess delectable possessions which you should distribute, because only such work alone is of value, whereas every earthly activity is only blessed by Me when the spiritual work is preceded by you. Everyone who has come into possession of My word has the same task again if he wants to live to please Me. And he will fulfil this task just as eagerly if he loves Me and also shows love to his fellow human beings. Anyone who has once accepted My word in his heart also knows that the spreading of this word is the most important, the most urgent thing at this time, for I Myself was able to address him and guide him to the right realization. And your concern should only ever be to open hearts for My word, to inform your fellow human beings of My word and to give them samples which can also awaken a hunger for the right food and drink. There is not much time left at your disposal where you can be unhindered in your activity …. But as long as you are still free in your spiritual activity you should also be eager and make use of every opportunity to speak for Me and My kingdom. For it is necessary, for people are increasingly turning away from Me and towards My adversary. And therefore everything spiritual will also seem ever more untrustworthy to them and the gulf will become ever wider, it will become ever more difficult for you to find acceptance, to be listened to and to be able to convey My spiritual knowledge to them, but this should not hold you back in your eagerness, for as long as the earth still exists the last possibilities are not exhausted either, and again and again a soul can still find its way back to Me, whose salvation is therefore still incumbent upon you. You should not worry whether you will be successful but always believe that you possess the most effective means of help with My word and therefore can also work with My word …. For I only send it to earth so that the souls will still be saved before the end comes …. But for this I need people who serve Me as mediators, because I Myself cannot address those people who are still far away from Me …. I need you and therefore constantly call upon you to work diligently and not to slacken in your service for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Faith in God …. powerfulness ….
B.D. 6660 from October 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 71
Without God’s assistance no human being will reach his aim, for he lacks will and strength when he enters this earth as a human being. His earthly life can indeed appear successful but physical well-being is not the human being’s aim which he should strive for and achieve. It is the soul’s progress, its maturing, for the purpose of which the human being was allowed to embody himself on earth, and for this development of the soul the human being needs God’s assistance. He needs an influx of strength from God, he needs spiritual goods which only God Himself can offer him …. But His bestowals of grace require the willingness to make use of them …. they require a will turned towards God, thus an open heart. Now every person, regardless of his earthly situation, can comply with this requirement which secures him an abundant measure of grace, and thus every person can help his soul to mature, he can reach the aim which is set for him, yet it is his free will. And therefore, again, there are not many people who achieve their purpose of earthly life, because the human being pays less attention to his soul than to his body and turns his eyes to the world and does not remember his God and creator. However, he cannot be compelled to think differently, only God can constantly be brought to his remembrance and his connection with his creator of eternity be mentioned. Because God cannot be bypassed if the aim is to be achieved, He must also constantly be presented to people …. Again and again people’s thoughts must be directed to the one to Whom they owe their existence, and again and again their attention must be drawn to the fact that they are dependent on a power and that they should make this power inclined towards them by fulfilling God’s will and thus by establishing contact with Him …. Faith in God is the first thing if their earthly existence is not to remain idle …. All people are indeed informed of the fact that there is one Who determines everything, Who directs everything according to His will …. But only a few seek to acquire the inner conviction of what is imparted to them about it, only a few people allow the learned faith to come alive in them …. But only living faith also establishes a connection between the human being and God which then will certainly result in the influx of grace which guarantees the attainment of the aim. As long as the human being lacks a living faith in a God and creator, his will and thinking will not be turned towards this God and he will also be powerless to help his soul ascend. He will just as little believe in his soul and his actual earthly task, he will only look at his earthly life purely earthly and all striving will only apply to physical well-being …. Unbelief is the worst evil, it is the greatest obstacle to reach the aim on earth, it is the adversary’s best weapon of God, for he has the unbeliever completely under his control. But even the unbeliever has been endowed with the gift of intellect, and he need only develop a strong desire for truth within himself despite his unbelief, then his intellect can occupy itself with thoughts which can also cause his unbelief to waver. For his unbelief can be the result of wrong teachings, and such unbelief can also be shaken by truthful teachings which cause the human being to reflect. Faith in God is indispensable if earthly life is not to have been lived in vain. But it can also be gained with good will …. But if a person is completely under the adversary’s control he lacks this will, and then his soul can leave earthly life in the same state as it entered it, and then it can also take an infinitely long time in the kingdom of the beyond until its will changes and it acknowledges a lord above it …. Yet God must be acknowledged by every soul which once wants to reach its aim ….
Amen

Struggling for firm faith …. God's presence ….
B.D. 6661 from October 4th 1956, taken from Book No. 71
In the realization of your own adversity it will not be difficult for you to put yourselves in your fellow human beings’ position of need, and your will to help them will grow, just as you now know better the means which will also help them out of their adversity. Therefore you, too, must occasionally be affected by hardship of all kinds so that you will eagerly participate in helping your neighbour if he asks you for it or if his state of need becomes apparent to you. You yourselves also need earthly hardship in order to strengthen your faith in Me as the one Who can and wants to help you. You yourselves need this faith if you want to convincingly refer your fellow human beings to Me who are in the same need, and you should strive to attain this strong faith. As long as you are in adversity your faith is not yet strong enough, for it would no longer burden you as soon as you have handed it over to Me in firm faith …. even if it had not yet been taken from you …. but the confidence that I will bear everything for you which you burden Me with in profound faith in Me will set you free and no longer let you feel any hardship. All My efforts only go towards letting you attain this profound, unshakable faith, because you, My servants on earth, will urgently need it in the forthcoming time and then you will also be able to successfully work for Me in My vineyard. Only ever regard every earthly adversity as a means used by Me to help you gain strong faith …. And strive for such deep, living faith …. which is possible for you at any time if only you awaken the awareness of My presence in you …. if you never think of yourselves as being alone but always accompanied by Me, if you can also adopt the thought that I will not leave your side even in hours of greatest adversity because I always want to have an effect on you from within …. that you therefore pay more attention to My presence than to your suffering …. You must mentally turn to Me and believe with conviction that My love and might will intervene when it is time, for I alone determine the time …. I know what you are able to endure and accordingly your adversity, your earthly suffering, will also affect you, if only to be able to speak from experience if you want to help your fellow human beings in the same predicament …. But how easily you could become free from all worries and suffering …. For as soon as this profound living faith in My might and love fills you, you will also be released from all adversity. The fact that My adversary intervenes again and again, that he tries everything to stop your activity for Me, this shall also explain much to you, for he often places conditions on Me which I therefore do not deny him because I know that he will not succeed, because I know My own and want to provide him with the evidence that his thinking is wrong …. And this shall be an increased incentive for you to persevere and strive for ever deeper faith, you shall defeat him and use My strength to do so …. You should always know that he cannot harm you because your will is My will …. And therefore do not doubt Me and My love for you but accept it as so certain that you will always find help with Me, whatever it may be …. Always know that I am present to you, then you will also be overcome by peace if you firmly and confidently believe that I will not let anything happen to you as long as I Myself am with you. And therefore you can only secure My presence through heartfelt remembrance of Me, through frequent silent dialogue with Me, through works of love and through the firm will to reach Me as your aim. Receive Me Myself into your heart, for your will opens it to Me, and if I Myself am in you then you need fear nothing more …. I Myself take possession of you and also keep My house for Myself …. because I still want to work in it on earth …. because it shall serve Me Myself as an abode until the mission is fulfilled for which you have offered yourselves to Me ….
Amen
