And you will be able to participate in the work of salvation, for this will be your activity in the kingdom of the beyond when you are sufficiently mature enough to be assigned an activity. You will bring light into the darkness, because you have experienced yourselves how agonising it is to live in darkness and how much happiness the light has given you. No redeemed soul will be inactive, and therefore every soul will be integrated into the host of those who carry out redemption work …. For they all are motivated by their love to help those who are wretched in returning to God, for Whom they are now tirelessly active and work because they share His will and are full of love for Him. And thus the deliverance of all souls is guaranteed, even if infinitely long times will still pass by until all spirits have found their way back to God, from Whom they once separated of their own free will. But this free decision will also determine how long the salvation process will take for each individual soul …. The soul is also able to offer resistance and delay its return to God for an endless time, but already redeemed souls will always take care of them, therefore no human being on earth and no soul in the kingdom of the beyond will be completely without help, which also explains the fact that time and again they will be offered the opportunity to enter the path of return to God, because it will be shown to them.

If, however, a human being adamantly rejects every incentive to enter the spiritual path during his earthly life, then small openings of light will repeatedly be provided to the souls in the beyond which will make the path visible to them, because the soul of light takes pity on the souls which wander around in profound darkness …. And thus begins the redeemed beings’ activity of helping these poor souls achieve salvation too. Hence no soul is without a sphere of activity, just as no dark soul is without guidance, only the free will of the latter determines the success. But once the work of redemption has been successfully achieved on just one soul, then another redeeming power will have been gained again to help the dark world, which in turn can and will accomplish inconceivable work, since it is now full of love and, due to its gratitude, willing to render the greatest possible help. And every soul has its adherents with whom it will work particularly diligently, even if it will meet with resistance for a long time …. But its love will not diminish, and love will always liberate, because no being will be able to resist love forever.

Indeed, it would be possible for complete salvation to take place on earth already, because Jesus Christ has suffered and died on the cross so that people are able to receive strength, that they are able to partake in the graces of the act of Salvation if they want to …. But Jesus Christ has not compelled people’s will either, and it is up to the will to either make use of the act of Salvation or to ignore it …. But whatever was neglected on earth can be continued in the beyond, because redemption work is carried out there as well, and even then an appeal for His grace and mercy can still be sent to Jesus Christ …. And every soul having found Him itself, having been redeemed by Him from sin and death, will also draw attention to Him, it will inform every unredeemed soul of His love, it will direct their thoughts to the great act of compassion by the human being Jesus and thus try to lead every as yet unredeemed soul to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ …. And its steadily growing love will also be successful, for love will achieve everything, and love can’t help but participate in the act of Salvation, which began with Jesus’ crucifixion and will not end until all still unredeemed souls are delivered from every constraint and thus have also attained life and beatitude, until the complete return to God has been accomplished, until all spirits that have emerged from God have returned home into their Father’s house ….

Amen

When you speak My name with deep devotion you accrue an abundance of spiritual strength for yourselves, for you thereby proclaim your faith in Me, your reverence and love, which you bestow upon your divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, and this faith can be rewarded by Me with a flow of strength which you all urgently require. And if you then come together in My name you will all be permeated by strength and your soul will feel My presence, for then I will dwell within your midst because your devout thoughts allow Me to be present with you …. And you will find yourselves in a developmental stage which guarantees deliverance as soon as you confess Me in Jesus Christ …. Ever since My crucifixion your salvation is therefore dependent on whether you acknowledge My act of Salvation by the man Jesus, whether you believe that your God and Creator descended to earth in order to accomplish the act of Salvation in the human being Jesus on your behalf …. Hence you have to confirm this belief of yours, and you do so by devoutly uttering My name, by acknowledging your God and Father in Jesus Christ and thus expressing it by mentioning My name. I will always hear and grant the call you send to Me in Jesus Christ and it will allow Me to be present with you.

And every meeting in My name will be blessed by Me …. I want to guide your thoughts and enlighten your spirit; I want to speak to you Myself and I Am indeed able to do so because I can be amongst you, because you believe in Me. And therefore you should frequently get together, and where two or three are gathered together in My name, there Am I in the midst of them …. I can therefore at any time partake in your conversations, in your thoughts, I can impart to you everything you need at that time; I can enlighten you where doubts remain, and I can advise and help you, for you all are in need of My advice and My help, you all still resemble weak little children who must be led by the hand towards the right goal. But as soon as you just speak My name with a faithful heart you will enable such guidance. And this is why people won’t be able to claim ‘Here is Christ …. there is Christ ….’ for I cannot be searched for in any locality, I Am only present where a believing human heart allows Me to be present through kind-hearted activity and where, in small circles, My name is devoutly uttered in living faith of My act of Salvation ….

For only faith that has come alive through love recognises and professes Me as the Redeemer Jesus Christ and allows for My presence. And thus I can indeed be proclaimed everywhere yet I can only take abode in a few human hearts, precisely because My name is only voiced by a few people with the absolute conviction that I brought them salvation through My death on the cross, and because only for a few people My name has the strength to penetrate their soul and truly bring it to life …. And these will noticeably feel My blessing, they will feel very intimately united with Me and thus associate with Me like a child with its Father, they will be conscious of My presence and harmony and inner peace will be their share, because …. where I Am …. there is peace and bliss.

Amen

God’s ray of grace hits all of you because His love embraces all of you and He wants to promote every person’s course of development if only you don’t resist. He knows every person’s degree of maturity and seeks to increase it …. thus He will also direct and favour everything as it is beneficial for you, and thus you can entrust yourselves to Him and His guidance without hesitation …. He will make it right …. One thing you must be certain of is that everything you are granted in earthly life is only meant to serve your spiritual maturing and that therefore nothing is wrong, no matter whether it touches you joyfully or sorrowfully …. And even if it is obviously human influence it must have been wanted or permitted by God …. And even then it will serve you for perfection, for ascent development, for the maturing of the soul. And once you have made this certainty your own for the time being, then you will also accept every event with inner peace, because it cannot be wrong as soon as you only ever entrust yourselves to God and His guidance. In the last days before the end many means will still be used to increase the degree of maturity of individual souls or to push people onto the path which is right before God. There is not much time left and therefore sometimes stronger means are necessary to accelerate the course of development where this is possible. Many people will have to experience increased suffering, others will be dealt with particularly harshly again because they go along their earthly path in lukewarmness …. Many things will happen which will make the ‘love of God’ appear questionable …. Misfortunes, catastrophes and outlandish events will overtake people and terrify them, but everything is laid down in God’s plan of salvation, nothing will happen to people without God’s will or His permission …. And all of you humans can hand yourselves over into His hand without worry, He will guide each individual in such a way that every event and experience can serve him for the salvation of his soul, and those who hand themselves over to Him in complete trust will no longer walk on their own authority, their every step will be guided …. They recognize divine guidance and place themselves unconditionally under His control. Therefore no human being needs to worry about his earthly path of life who has only established the bond with God and seeks to fulfil His will. He knows himself to be guided and led and also allows himself to be guided without resistance, and the divine guidance obviously becomes apparent in him, for all resistance resolves itself, all obstacles are removed; what seemed impossible becomes possible …. God’s presence proves itself again and again where unrestrained devotion to Him has preceded …. All people should make this confidence their own, that God regulates the life of the person who surrenders himself to Him, and that everything that comes upon him will then also contribute to the increase of the soul’s maturity if it is humbly accepted and endured …. but that spiritual development will then also never come to a standstill but be progressively retraced …. Only the human being’s will is necessary to come close to God and to be accepted by Him. And everything now unfolds according to this will, and the human being irrevocably reaches the aim. Every spiritually striving person can therefore let himself drift without worry, for God has already taken over the guidance from the moment the human being’s will turned towards Him …. Then He will no longer let him out of His hand, and the less resistance He finds the easier the ascent upwards will be, even if life seems difficult and painful to the human being …. But it leads to the aim, and the still short time of earthly life can still result in high spiritual successes, because God’s flow of grace flows unceasingly during this last time and because every person can immerse himself in this flow of grace and his soul becomes powerful and feels God’s love ever more and surrenders to it. Devotion to God is all He asks of people in order to then let His divine sun of love and grace shine and then give every person what he needs in order to increase his soul’s maturity in the short time until the end ….

Amen

Whatever contributes to the redemption of the still unredeemed spiritual will still be used before the end of this redemption period has come. For every possibility will be utilized because the unredeemed is approaching a difficult fate and God’s love would like to protect it from it, but the being’s free will must also make use of these graces granted to it. And thus new prophets, servants of God, keep appearing in the last days who speak on His behalf and point to the near end. And all these messengers have unusual power …. be it in the way they speak, in their healing or prayer power or in their seer-like ability, so that people’s attention is drawn to them and now, as it were, every individual is also addressed by God Himself, albeit through a human being …. For the latter only ever presents himself as an ‘instrument of the lord’ …. And so even the weakest faith can be strengthened, even unbelieving people can be made thoughtful …. Such a reference can fall on good ground because unusual phenomena accompany it, which nevertheless do not compel people, but are rather put down by most people as ‘false prophethood’ as ‘dazzling works’ …. mostly by those who are under an anti-truth influence, who only want to accept what they themselves represent, and who also deny a ‘near end’, i.e. do not want to believe. And thus God’s activity will become visible everywhere, yet only recognized by His own, by those who have a living faith and therefore also recognize the hour in which humanity lives …. Nothing will remain untried which can still result in the smallest success, because it is of utmost importance to what degree the individual human being will be affected by the end, because a low degree of maturity already spares him the fate of a new banishment and because God’s love and mercy still wants to achieve this, because He alone knows what it means to have to start the whole process of development from the beginning again, and because He also knows how much endless time is required in order to then be allowed to dwell on earth again as a human being in the stage of free will in order to pass the final test of will. And signs and wonders will happen …. even on the part of satan, who knows how to use the last time for himself in the most unthinkable way and often appears under the guise of piety and tries to deceive people …. But you humans will always be able to distinguish the right light from the dazzling light if you only pay attention to what aim is being striven for and in what guise a ‘prophet’ appears …. You only need to pay attention to whether unselfish love characterizes them. For those who speak and work in the name of God on the adversary’s behalf also pursue earthly aims, they are not concerned about the souls’ salvation but pursue worldly aims, whereas the ‘messengers of God’ only ever warn and admonish people and mention the approaching end with the advice to turn their thoughts towards God. And their constant activity is to proclaim the word of God, to highlight the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, and therefore they will also perform miracles in Jesus’ name, because this, too, is an unusual grace of the last days, that Jesus Christ reveals Himself, that the strength of His name is proven to people …. that He Himself thus works amongst people who believe in Him and testify for Him. And these people will never be able to be portrayed as false christs and false prophets, but they will certainly also be misjudged by those who lead a sham christianity …. who can be called dead christians, even though they also speak the word of God …. For anyone who has a living faith also has the ability to judge, and he will always profess these prophets of the last days who are still active on God’s behalf in order to save the last souls from ruin …. for they spread light, and in the light all who belong to God and want to serve Him until the end will also come together ….

Amen

In development-standing-spirit holds every work of creation that is visible to your eyes. And its development progresses upwards as soon as these creations correspond to their purpose. And thus it will also be understandable to you that such creations may not be unlawfully prevented from fulfilling their purpose, which, however, is the case when malicious destruction takes place of that which serves the human being or other creations in any way before it has fulfilled its purpose, thus it naturally approaches decay …. Then the spiritual’s course of development is interfered with against God’s will, and such interferences also have a damaging effect on the human being himself, because the spiritual lets off steam, which becomes unlawfully free until it is bound again in creations of the same kind. For the maturing of the spiritual takes its time, and as soon as people live their lives in divine order, this time granted to the spiritual is also always paused …. For only such interventions on the part of people are harmful which do not have the motive of love as their cause. The dissolution or destruction of hard matter as well as of the already more mature-spiritual plant and animal world can also take place, which have love for the neighbour as their motive, if something is to be created which is a blessing for people. Then people’s beginnings will also be blessed by God, and then the purpose of those creations will be fulfilled, as it were, and the spiritual will only take on new external forms in order to ascend further. For only through service …. even if in the law of compulsion …. can the spiritual develop ascend, which is why it is also an offence against divine order if hoarding earthly goods prevents them from being of service …. Then the spiritual is certainly bound but the service in the works of creation is denied to it, as well as earthly things remain unused, as well as treasures are collected which are not used for their actual purpose. Only service will ever redeem the spiritual, and therefore every human activity will also be blessed by God which helps the spiritual to be of service …. which therefore lets such things arise which serve their fellow human beings again, which correspond to a useful purpose and are therefore also used, because hoarding such things prolongs the course of development, because it delays the spiritual being’s ascent development and causes it useless torment and also demonstrates the human being’s still immature spiritual state which takes pleasure in hoarding earthly treasures. The bound spiritual substance finds it beneficial when it resides in a sphere where divine order is observed, for as soon as it is permitted to be of service the torments experienced by the spiritual substance in its bondage will diminish and the resistance will also diminish, and the present external form will mean less and less restraint until it is allowed to be burst by the spiritual substance which, through service, has now attained a degree of maturity again which allows for a new, less solid external form …. Everything spiritual in matter has to redeem itself through service, and you humans should contribute to it that it is offered the opportunity …. Whatever you create through the ability given to you by God, you should …. only ever be concerned that it serves your fellow human beings. You should beware of malicious destruction, you should not prematurely prevent any works of creation from fulfilling their purpose, for by doing so you interrupt the course of development of the spiritual, and depending on the motives which drive your actions such destructions also have an unfavourable effect on you humans yourselves, for what does not correspond to the law of divine order also has an effect in accordance with it, and the law of divine order for the human being will always read: Serve in love …. thus also to protect his fellow human being so that he does not fall victim to the raging of the released spiritual …. For he, too, has the right to defend himself if his course of development is unlawfully disturbed ….

Amen

If the floodgates of divine love open and let His flow of strength of love flow to you, then this is evidence that you are in need of it, that you are in adversity from which only this flow of grace can rescue you. And it will be directed by God’s wisdom and love to where it can bring blessings, even if people’s free will is taken into account …. Nevertheless, the degree of maturity of the individual person must also be taken into account, who may be more or less able to receive it into his heart and let it take effect. But let that be God’s concern …. You yourselves should only ever do what your heart impels you to do and leave everything else to God, Who offers the right nourishment to every person who desires it for his soul. And He also guides the thoughts of those who are active for Him …. (want to be) …. He also gives them what they need to work for Him and His kingdom. It is only important that every gift is passed on in love, which originates from the eternal love …. Then it will also be a blessing for the recipient, for love always causes the addressed soul to open itself without resistance, because love is a strength which cannot be resisted …. The strength of love constantly flows to people from the lifeborn of divine love, and no matter how it is shaped it does not remain without effect …. albeit often at a later time when the human being’s degree of maturity is still low …. But nothing is lost that has flowed from the divine source. But anyone who would like to fill himself with lighter food will also receive it at the right time, he need only present this request to God, Who is exceedingly pleased to fulfil His children’s spiritual wishes. In the last days before the end the streams of grace will flow ever more abundantly, because the adversary’s activity also aims at spreading error amongst people in order to confuse their thinking and to gain influence and power. And his activity has to be invalidated, which is why people have to be spiritually instructed and should receive information about many questions which the adversary causes because he keeps people’s spirit in darkness. Anyone who is in the midst of the world will also be urged by the world to ask such questions which God wants to answer for him if God is his aim …. He who stands apart from the world and has given his heart to God does not need such explanations because he does not doubt, because he has a childlike faith which cannot be shaken …. But the world forces itself everywhere, and the spiritually striving human being should be able to distinguish appearance from reality …. He should be able to resist attacks, and for this he needs God’s strength, which therefore flows to him through His word …. And every gift which comes from God does not fail to have an effect as soon as it is desired and offered in love. For this reason you, who want to serve Him, should do all work with love, and then it will always have a beneficial effect. You should not neglect to pass on the living water, which will always have a revitalizing effect on all who desire and gratefully accept it …. And God will enlighten His servants’ spirit when they do the work for Him and His kingdom, He will give them what they need in order to be beneficially active again, and He will also strengthen the hearts which open themselves to the loving address of the one Who is to be their aim in earthly existence. God Himself determines the food and drink, just as only a human being desires the nourishment for his soul from Him …. And what He gives will truly fulfil its purpose, it will mature the soul and give it strength to resist when the adversary’s activity obviously appears …. which He very well foresees and therefore distributes strong nourishment in advance which will be a blessing for it in difficult times ….

Amen

I will come to meet you all if only you take the path of love, for I Myself cannot take any other path since I Myself am love. And if you want to reach Me then you have to take this path and you will soon feel My hand which will take hold of you and pull you upwards. But if you take a path where eternal love cannot meet you, then you will cover long distances and still not see the aim, for this path does not lead to Me …. it always leads further away from Me, Who cannot be reached other than through love. And thus you, My servants on earth, should also instruct your fellow human beings, you should only ever point them to this one path of love and draw their attention to the fact that all pseudo-christianity is secondary and ignores love …. People have a wrong attitude towards their earthly task; they believe they will reach their aim if only they fulfil their religious duties. Too little emphasis is placed on love, which alone is important, and much is taken into account which, however, is of little value for eternity. And it is alarming that they believe they are fulfilling My will if they meet the ‘ecclesiastical’ demands placed upon them, and yet people do not achieve the slightest progress in earthly life if they do not kindle love within themselves, if they do not live a life which corresponds to My commandments of love. Again and again you should put love first, you should live a life of love yourselves and constantly point out to your fellow human beings the effect of a right life of love, their actual task of redeeming themselves through loving activity. You should only ever explain to them the importance of fulfilling My commandments of love, because they alone only lead to unity with Me, because the path of love alone is the path to Me, to eternal life. People who walk without love isolate themselves more and more, they increase the distance from Me instead of decreasing it, they cannot come close to Me because I cannot dwell where love is not …. And if you therefore walk your path alone, without Me, then you will be joined by My adversary who will certainly push you further and further away from Me, away from the right path, who will prevent you from working with love and kindle self-love into a bright glow …. so you belong to him again because you are at his beck and call. Unkind people believe neither in Me nor in My adversary, but all people could experience that a work of love also changes their thinking if it is carried out selflessly …. And all people are also offered the opportunity for such unselfish works of love, because again and again I try to urge them onto this path of love …. But no coercion happens to them, and that is why My approach is often unsuccessful. Therefore I admonish you, My servants, again and again: preach love …. for this is urgent in the last time before the end, because too little mention is made of it, because people believe to have done enough by belonging to a denomination and fulfilling traditional customs, and the core …. My doctrine of love …. have not yet grasped. People’s attention must be drawn to the idleness of their lives if they have been led without love …. They have to hear again and again that I am ‘eternal love’ and that the path to Me is only ever the path of love …. that they can never reach Me Myself without love, but that only I can offer them a life of bliss if they can endure My nearness by shaping themselves into love …. There is no eternal beatitude without love ….

Amen

The spiritual world unfolds an unusual activity, both on earth and in the kingdom of the beyond. But forces of light as well as of darkness want to win over all people on earth and also the souls in the beyond and therefore do everything to succeed. On earth this unusual spiritual activity can be recognized by the addiction to pleasures of life on the one hand and the appearance of living proclaimers of Jesus Christ on the other …. thus an activity of evil forces which is countered by the world of light by visibly sending strength and help to people so that the willing do not perish in the whirlpool of the world. Likewise, increased activity of love can also be observed in the kingdom of the beyond, for the battle between light and darkness rages there too, and in view of the approaching end and thus the transformation of the possibilities of development an action of redemption also takes place on the greatest scale in the kingdom of the beyond. The souls are so obviously shown the way and offered help that only the completely hardened reject it, but the majority accept the help offered to them with gratitude. The working of love in the beyond and on earth is not unsuccessful, even though God’s adversary has recently used all conceivable means to increase his flock of followers. Yet the world of light ensures everywhere that his art of deception and his thinking become evident …. so that people on earth and the souls in the spiritual kingdom will also clearly recognize what they have to expect from him and are willing to let themselves be influenced by the side which sent sparks of light to them and thereby caused them a benefit. Precisely the increased devilish activity of God’s adversary entitles the world of light to likewise increase its influence, which will now also be exploited in every way. For the world of light knows about the forthcoming end and also about the necessity of increased help, and its love impels it to this help, which therefore obviously expresses itself on earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond. For this reason you humans need not be surprised when you hear of spiritual revivals, of living representatives of christianity and their strength, of seers and prophets who all prove the influence of the world of light on those who seriously seek God …. but you will now also understand why the working of the counter-spirit is so obvious and that its pernicious influence is also recognizable in the hostile attitude of the majority of people towards those who profess God and His kingdom. And this will become even more obvious the closer the end is …. But no person needs to fear the work of the dark world who only adheres to Jesus Christ, who recognizes his God and father of eternity in Him and who is therefore immune to all his adversary’s arts of seduction. For the spiritual world will just as obviously stand by him and also make itself known in a very clear way. This is why all of you humans can still experience strange things in the last days, both positive and negative, for God’s adversary uses the short time left to him in a truly diabolical way, but his opposing forces, the beings of the world of light, do not tire in their fight against him either. They, too, are allowed unusual activity where it is necessary to protect people or souls in the beyond against the adversary, and much strength has to be distributed for resistance and for the living confession of Jesus’ name, because this confession will be demanded. Then it will also prove how helpful the good forces are to all who strive towards God, who strive to live in His will and who commend themselves to Him and His grace …. And they will not fall prey to the adversary’s arts of seduction, for they stand under the protection of God and the world of light ….

Amen

If you want your earthly life to be successful for eternity, then you must make use of the blessings which the divine redeemer Jesus Christ acquired for you on the cross …. If you don’t make use of these blessings then it is impossible for you to attain the degree of maturity which guarantees you entry into the kingdom of light after your physical death …. For you lack strength because you have become weak and helpless due to your past apostasy from Me, because you are subject to the power of the one who dragged you down into the abyss …. You are now at the mercy of this power and cannot resist it with your own strength, you also have too weak a will which does not strive for a release from this power …. But you can certainly experience a supply of strength and a strengthening of will if you turn to the one Who died for this on the cross in order to help you break free from your dungeon master. For what you lack He acquired for you because He knew of your weakness and helplessness and because He wanted to break the adversary’s power …. because He wanted to pay the ransom for you through His death on the cross and that adversary can no longer hold you if you want to be released from him. Everything has been done for you so that it is now possible for you to ascend again …. you can attain maturity of soul on earth but never without Jesus Christ …. You first have to let yourselves be redeemed by Him, you have to appeal to Him for strength and grace which you may now also receive in abundance because you desire to become free from the enemy of your souls. Thus you have to make use of the blessings of the act of salvation: You must ask for strength and reinforcement of will from the one Who acquired this treasure of grace through His death on the cross. When you enter this earth as a human being My adversary still has power over you …. And in earthly life it is solely a matter of whether you turn your will away from him and towards Me again, which, however, you only prove if you acknowledge Jesus Christ, because I embodied Myself in the human being Jesus in order to use My love for you so that you can return to Me again …. Hence, acknowledging Jesus Christ is synonymous with acknowledging Me Myself, Whom you once rejected, thus you separated yourselves from Me of your own will. This great sin had to invalidate you, for My strength of love could no longer take effect in you due to your resistance …. And if I want you to take the path back to Me, then I first have to impart strength to you …. thus I have to give you something you don’t have to claim: I have to impart grace to you, and this, in turn, had to be acquired through an immense sacrifice which love wanted to make for you. And thus the sacrifice must also be acknowledged and thus also the one Who made the sacrifice …. the man Jesus, Whom deepest love motivated to bring help to the bound souls. And in this man Jesus I embodied Myself, because I am ‘love’ from eternity. Therefore, if you want to return to Me, if you want to successfully cover your earthly path, you can never pass by the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, for only from Him will you receive the strength and reinforcement of your will, whereas otherwise you will remain weak and will never be able to release yourselves from My adversary’s power …. Only the call of Jesus Christ is enough to prove that you acknowledge Him, and you will now receive from His inexhaustible fountain of grace what you need in order to attain light again, strength and bliss …. But without Jesus Christ you live your earthly life in vain. You will remain in the abyss, for you will be held fast until you call upon Me yourselves in Jesus Christ, for as long as your will is still turned towards him, who will not release you …. but who no longer has control over you as soon as you hand yourselves over to the divine redeemer, which is also recognition of Me and you have now also passed the test of earthly life ….

Amen

You can only be given what you desire or are willing to accept when it is offered to you, because your free will is always taken into account and a gift contrary to your desire would therefore impair this free will. And thus the effect of any spiritual gift is always dependent on your willingness to accept it …. God in His infinite love is always willing to give, and His gift of love would truly suffice to lead people to perfection, so that everything fallen would already be completely redeemed …. But this contradicts the law of divine order, it contradicts the principle of freedom and thus also the plan of deification of what God has created. The blessedness of all created things consists in the perfection attained in freedom of will, and no matter how much free will is denied …. It is the basic principle and also again the cause of the innumerable cases of human failure on earth …. But it will eternally remain with the being which embodies itself on earth for the purpose of this deification, it will again and again be put to the test and have to decide for God, in that the human being freely desires divine gifts out of himself or is willing to accept them …. yet without these gifts he will never be able to reach perfection either. God, however, constantly offers His gifts …. He does not force them upon a person but He makes sure that they are brought to the person, that his will is stimulated to accept or reject them …. And He will not cease to change the will despite frequent rejections, but He will not exert coercion …. He respects free will, which is the sign of divine beings and which also once substantiated the apostasy from God but which can just as well strive towards the highest height as it once strived towards the depth. He who disputes free will is also still in complete bondage because he is subject to the one who holds him in bondage. But he has also not yet made the attempt to become free from him, otherwise he would be conscious of his free will. He who disputes a free will feels himself bound, even if he is not clear who or what holds him bound. But the admission of having no free will is the surest sign of his being bound, whereas the person who recognizes and acknowledges a free will already feels himself free …. And this person has already detached himself from God’s adversary, and he appeals to Him Who can remedy all deficiencies, for he also recognizes himself as deficient despite his free will and therefore ‘desires’ …. And abundantly can be supplied to Him, nor will it remain ineffective, for now God’s will also comes into effect because the human being’s will has turned towards Him …. Turning towards God is free will, for God’s adversary, who keeps the being bound, would never direct its will towards God if it were not free. However, earthly life is precisely about this decision of will, which …. because free …. can and must take place if the being wants to reach perfection. And an unfree will would let the whole earth life be purposeless, and no reason whatsoever would be found for the human being’s earthly course as well as for the emergence of creation, which is to bring the bound spiritual to maturity so that it can regain free will again to reach the final aim as a human being. The human being can receive unmeasured gifts if he only desires God’s gifts, precisely because he is in possession of free will …. But therefore God cannot bestow gifts against the human being’s will either, and therefore they remain ineffective as long as the human being resists them, because he is never forced to deify himself but this always has to happen of his own free will ….

Amen

And if you don’t make use of the blessings of the act of salvation then your earthly existence will not be evaluated, for only as a human being can you freely use your will, and no matter how much it is weakened it is still possible for you to call upon the one Who brought you salvation through His crucifixion …. And this call alone is a request for the blessings acquired from Him. Such a call to Him requires recognition, which every human being can also achieve if only he uses the gift of his intellect insofar as he reflects when he receives knowledge about Jesus Christ …. Then the divine redeemer can already take hold of him and convey the right thoughts to him, and then the connection is also established …. The graces can become effective in the person …. But it is different when the human being has a negative attitude towards every teaching concerning the work of redemption …. In that case he closes himself off from the source of grace of his own free will. But then he also only lives a purely earthly life, he does not strive for spiritual progress, he merely regards earthly life as an end in itself, and his will is and remains wrongly directed …. He still belongs to God’s adversary and cannot become free from him without the help of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ. Admittedly, you will not lose your existence, for even if you leave earthly life unexploited you will still exist after the death of your body, but no state of life, no state of blissful activity awaits you, instead, you will then be subject to spiritual death because you are still burdened by sin, from which Jesus Christ brought you redemption if you had accepted this redemption yourselves. Your will cannot be circumvented, just as it aligns itself with the divine redeemer, so also is your state …. free or bound …. For you cannot expect redemption without acknowledging Him Who purchased this redemption for you on the cross. He took all your guilt upon Himself and atoned for it on your behalf …. But how can you expect a free lot, you who set yourselves apart from Him, who do not accept the graces He purchased for you? …. How can you be blessed as long as you are still devoted to another lord whom you first have to renounce by acknowledging Jesus Christ? …. You can only be blessed when your guilt of sin has been paid off. You yourselves are eternally incapable of doing so, therefore He bore your sins for you and atoned for them. And you must turn to Him in earthly life and appeal to Him that He may also have redeemed the guilt for you …. And then you will receive grace upon grace, for then His love will take hold of you and no longer let you fall. And only then will you properly evaluate earthly life, which was only given to you for this purpose, to return to God through Jesus Christ, Who embodied Himself in the human being Jesus in order to die for you on the cross. Earthly life offers you the opportunity to ascend freely and brightly into the kingdom of the blessed after your death, for only the acknowledgement of Jesus as redeemer of the world is necessary in order to also be able to make use of the blessings which guarantee your perfection, but you can also, by virtue of your free will, let this great opportunity pass you by and remain in darkness and bondage again for an infinitely long time …. You must open yourselves to the gifts of grace, you must acknowledge Him in free will …. Then your earthly life will not be an idle one, then you will progress in your development, and then there will also be a blissful life for you, because Jesus Christ alone can lead you out of the night of death to life in light and glory ….

Amen
