If you read the words of the Scriptures only in their literal meaning there is much you will not understand or will interpret incorrectly, for ‘the letter kills …. but the spirit gives life ….’ And so it requires an enlightened spirit to comprehend and interpret the meaning of the Words I spoke when I walked on earth. My disciples understood Me since My spirit revealed to them every Word I spoke. I had to help them this way because prior to My death on the cross My spirit could not work the way it did after the act of Salvation was completed. Now, however, every human being can allow the working of My spirit in himself if he consciously uses the blessings of the act of Salvation and shapes himself through love such that he becomes a vessel for My spirit, which then educates him and ‘guides him into truth’ as I have promised …. And he will also understand the meaning of the Words ‘Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained ….’

I spoke these Words to My disciples knowing that after the outpouring of the spirit they would clearly recognise the nature of the people who would come to them with all kind of diseases due to their burden of guilt …. I knew that they would come to My disciples to be healed, and I also knew which one of them felt this guilt and which one just wanted to be healed of his ailments …. And My disciples knew it too, for their spirit was enlightened and they had completely submitted to My will, wanting to live and act only in accordance with My will. And thus My spirit also gave them the instructions when, after My death, they attended to their ministry to spread My Word throughout the world. They, too, now recognised who was worthy of forgiveness of sins, of healing the sick, and who was still so steeped in sin that he did not want to be without sin but only be cured of his diseases. Thus I merely assured the disciples with these Words that they would indeed recognise people’s inner state and act correctly by following My spirit’s directions. Hence a true disciple, a person who becomes a vessel for My spirit due to his life of love …. a person in whom I can work Myself by means of My spirit, will also be enlightened and interpret these Words of Mine correctly ….

My Word retained its validity too …. in as much as time and again people can be cured from their afflictions who remorsefully confess their sins to Me, who believe and thus confide in Me Myself or in one of My enlightened servants …. However, the same servant will also recognise through My spirit’s inner direction where this remorseful inner confession of guilt is absent and then a healing cannot take place …. I spoke these Words to My disciples, to those whose hearts I knew and whose willingness to receive My spirit made them suitable to go into the world as My apostles and preach My Gospel to all nations …. And the same Words also applied to their successors ….

However, by ‘successors’ I mean those who, through their way of life, through changing themselves into love and through their spiritual maturity, have created the prerequisite to make the working of My spirit in them possible …. I never meant those who merely occupied the same place but never experienced the ‘outpouring of the spirit’ themselves …. The latter cannot assume that My Words were addressed to them and consequently will not be able ‘to forgive or to retain sins’ either ….

Consider the senseless distortion of My Words that was caused by a doctrine as it is offered to people today …. that people feel destined to forgive or not to forgive their fellow human beings’ sins …. people, who lack all spiritual maturity, which would reveal itself in the obvious ‘working of the spirit’ …. My spirit can only seldom express itself obviously because it requires profound love and a living faith to do so …. But thousands and thousands are ‘forgiving sins’ …. and believe that they received the authorisation for it from Me. Yet where My spirit is working they try to prevent it, where pure truth is attempting to bring clarification, the working of Satan is insinuated, which proves again that spiritual blindness rules where humanity is looking for salvation. But the darkness is already too dense for a light to be accepted, and thus only love can be preached to people, for only love will kindle a light, and only a person aglow with love recognises the truth and recoils from such misguided teachings.

Without love every Word is futile, it is not understood and its meaning is only ever twisted …. Only love results in the enlightenment of spirit and understanding of My Word …. And only when you become true disciples through love can you consider yourselves the successors of those disciples, then your spirit will be enlightened and you can assure truly remorseful sinners that their sins are forgiven, because then you know that I Myself will take care of every sinner and forgive everyone who comes to the cross repentantly and in awareness of his guilt …. And truly, I will also heal their physical afflictions, I will give the spiritually awakened servants great strength and thus My Word will fulfil itself ‘Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained ….’ For it is My spirit that works in them ….

Amen

Only in truth is light. And thus people who have been misguided by incorrect teachings cannot find any coherence.

It is dark within them, and in this darkness it is impossible for them to see My image properly, they are given a distorted image of Me and therefore cannot love Me properly either. In fact, they only fear Me as a God of vengeance and punishing judge, whereas the pure truth from Me unveils an image which attracts them, which awakens love within them because it portrays Me as I Am: …. a God of love, a Father to His children, a Lord, to Whom all His servants are devotedly loyal. If people loved their God and Father they would not sin, they would forever aim to carry out My will and thus live a life within divine order …. And if people were only ever given the truth they would also love Me …. But what is the situation in the world? ….

Humanity’s spiritual low, its heartlessness, proves that human beings do not live in the light of the truth, thus wrong doctrines about Me and misguided thoughts have been imparted to them, otherwise they would not be able to live in this darkness. But people are not even able to accept the light of truth any longer, their blindness is so severe that no ray of light can penetrate it, and that therefore the truth can no longer be recognised either …. My adversary has succeeded in making the night so dark in a manner that a person can rarely find the morning light …. And yet this seemingly impenetrable night will also be lit by flashing lights, and time and again human beings are shown the way which leads through the darkness into the light of day. And even the totally blind are given guides who offer their help. And all it takes is a little good will.

But where the will is missing not much can be achieved, however, all human beings will be confronted with the image of their God and Father of eternity sooner or later …. i.e. every human being will be offered the truth one day and I will be portrayed to him as I Am in reality …. as a perfect Being, as love, wisdom and power …. And every human being can accept this image of Me within himself and repeatedly reflect on it, and it will consistently appear to him clearer and brighter and not vanish from his thoughts again …. But he can also look away in indignation, then the deepest darkness will remain in his heart and the truth offered to him will not touch it.

The importance of My distorted image in relation to human development is clearly evident in the low spiritual level of people …. because human beings would never have fallen so low if they had always been offered the truth …. with the right doctrines they would never have been able to move so far away from Me, which has already happened due to misguided teachings …. Because belief in Me has gone astray in those who were willing to believe but who felt repelled by misguided teachings and who did not request the correction, the truth, from Me Myself, since they found it difficult to believe in the kind of Being they were taught about.

Misguided teachings are My adversary’s weapons, and they are always directed against Me, thus they are also very useful in destroying faith in Me, which is My adversary’s intention. And thus the reason for the prevalent atheism has to be looked for in the distribution of erroneous spiritual knowledge, in the distortion of My image which has been given to people. And only pure truth can portray Me to people in such a way that they will be able to love Me and once again establish the right kind of relationship with Me …. Only the brightest light can disperse the darkness, but only if people themselves open their eyes in order to see ….

Amen

It is the spirit that makes alive …. As long as you humans have not yet awakened the spirit within you to life, all knowledge is dead and cannot lead you to life. And no matter how deeply the intellect strives to penetrate, it will not reach its aim, namely to penetrate God’s plan of salvation with full clarity so that everything becomes understandable to it, so that it recognizes God’s working and activity in His love and wisdom and now burns with love for Him …. Only an awakened spirit sees brightly and clearly. And the human being now has realization, he knows about his purpose of existence, about cause and destiny on this earth. But dead knowledge is everything that is gained intellectually, which the soul cannot yet comment on because the spirit in the human being has not yet been able to explain it to it, whose working is not yet permitted. This applies to spiritual knowledge which touches those areas which cannot be ‘researched’, which cannot be proven and yet must be called the most important, even though it is inscrutable to human intellect. For this spiritual knowledge not only concerns life on this earth but it also extends to the kingdom beyond this earth, it also concerns the time before and after life on this earth …. And such knowledge can therefore only be of blessing when the spirit from God explains it to people, when something ‘living’ speaks to the still dead in order to thereby also give him life. And this spirit must be prompted to work by the will of the human being himself, the human being must seek the connection with God, the father-spirit from eternity, of his own accord, which can only ever happen through heartfelt prayer and through lovingprayer …. Thereby the spiritual spark in him becomes free and thus active. The bond with God ensures the supply of strength and light, the dark, unknowing state disappears because the light illuminates everything, and the strength expresses itself in constantly increased loving activity …. Life comes over that which was hitherto dead, the human being himself becomes eagerly active and all hitherto dead knowledge also comes alive, all correlations become clear to the human being, he recognizes that a plan of salvation is unfolding in divine order; he knows the reason for it and recognizes that he himself is at the centre of that plan of salvation, that it concerns himself, that an aim has to be reached and that he can only reach that aim if he walks in the light …. that, as it were, the light itself is already the aim, that without this light he remains eternally in the depths …. that ‘life’ therefore also necessarily means or requires ‘awakening of the spirit’ in him. He recognizes that everything dead only leads deeper and deeper until complete torpor is his lot. And each individual must strive for this life himself, for it cannot be transferred but always requires devotion to God, the request for help and the willingness to love …. And this life can never be replaced by increased intellectual activity, which is why every person can attain life even if he is poor in intellectual knowledge …. whereas a high degree of knowledge still does not signify ‘life’ if the person lacks these conditions: Devotion to God and activity of love. Then he will eternally not attain life, for the spirit slumbers within him, it is not given the opportunity to express itself and spread light, and it will remain dark in the human being, for he himself is dead in spirit ….

Amen

In order to be able to introduce you to truth, the will, the desire for truth, must necessarily dominate you, otherwise you cannot be given a gift which you once rejected: the light of knowledge. It is indeed offered to you again and again, but the will belongs first to accept this gift. You had voluntarily entered darkness, you left the light behind, you gave away a precious possession which you called your own, for it was one of the signs of perfection in which every being created by Me stood …. You voluntarily gave away your perfection and became lightless beings; you lost all characteristics of your perfection. But My love does not want you to remain as you have shaped yourselves. And therefore I offer you everything that will help you regain your perfection. But your will to accept what I offer you is a prerequisite. And thus I also want to introduce you humans to the truth if you have the desire for it. And without exception you humans are called to acquire beatitude again and thus also to stand in the light of truth. Therefore you cannot say that one person is less favoured than the other, that he therefore cannot reach the aim which was set for you. But people’s willingness to accept is very different and therefore the effect of grace is also different, and this makes you humans believe in a limitation of grace. You are all called, for I exclude no being when I pour out My measure of grace which is intended to help you attain beatitude …. But only a few are chosen …. few accept the gifts of grace so willingly and always desire more, so that they can also be given abundantly, that the graces become effective in them and that they therefore belong to those who already ascend again on earth, whom I can now so obviously consider that they appear to fellow human beings as ‘chosen ones’ …. Yet their own will, their willingness and desire has earned them their matured state, and therefore it was also possible to convey the truth to them, to give them the light again which fellow human beings lack because they also lack the willingness for it. No being will need to move in the darkness which longs for light …. For I will always consider My living creations according to their desire, according to their will, but I will never force this will to accept divine gifts. And coercion would be if people were given an unusual gift of grace without their will, which thus would inevitably place them into a light. But then such a being would be judged, it would not be a freely over-self-determining being which can both sink low but also ascend unusually high depending on its will. And thus you know that every person living in the light of truth has acquired this light himself through his will, and thus you can conclude from the degree of realization that his will is turned towards Me, because I alone let the light of truth shine into a person’s heart which seeks to unite with Me …. A person who denies Me, who has no bond with Me, can never ever stand in truth, nor will he ever seriously desire this truth: the knowledge which gives him light about his origin and about his destiny …. He is only governed by earthly thoughts and plans, he lives in a purely earthly world, he does not recognize a spiritual kingdom, and therefore he can never receive information about this spiritual kingdom either, because his will determines the thoughts which flow towards him, and this will is only directed towards the world, thus only worldly thoughts will fill him. But without your will you can never attain the truth ….

Amen

The more you immerse yourselves in My word the brighter it will become within you and the more strength will fill you to live according to My word, for I Myself impart this strength to you if you let yourselves be addressed by Me. And now you will also know the lack of strength and light people are in who never look for the opportunity to hear or read My word …. who never let themselves be addressed by Me, who pass by indifferently when My word is offered to them. Although this lack of strength and light only affects them spiritually, so that these people can certainly appear confidently and powerfully in earthly life and also have worldly knowledge at their disposal, yet their souls are in darkness and weakness, and such people cannot work on their spiritual perfection and don’t want to either, because they are completely unaware of the desolate situation they are in. One day after the other can pass without them once opening their heart and ear for My word …. and every day is a lost one in their earthly life, for it could have brought them light and strength and was left unused. And it is also difficult for My bearers of light to find access to such human hearts which immediately reject when their attention is drawn to the most important thing in earthly life, to the intimate bond with Me, which can be established by willingly listening to My word and can now be deepened by My address, so that the influx of strength and light can now take place. My bearers of light certainly have the task to proclaim My gospel, to convey My word to people, which they must hear in order to be able to fulfil their purpose of earthly life …. Yet My word must be listened to of their own free will, the human being must be willing to live it out, and the bearers of light seldom find this willingness, and no matter how delicious gifts they hand out they are not desired, and the doors remain closed to My bearers of light through which I Myself wanted to enter in order to bring salvation to them. And even if the proclamations of the word take place in every possible way, whether they are living or dead proclamations of the word …. too few people are addressed because those places are partly avoided where My word is heard, and because the words often only echo in the ear and do not reach people’s hearts …. Yet only I Myself can convey strength and light, thus I Myself must also address the human being and he must willingly listen to Me. The supply of light and strength is necessary to achieve the purpose of life, that the soul matures for the spiritual kingdom. But people’s will and thoughts are only bound by the earthly world, and all vitality is utilized earthly. For this reason it is also good when My proclaimers of the word also appear in this earthly world, when they speak everywhere, when they are not afraid to speak where it is otherwise not customary …. And I will equip just such proclaimers with special strength so that they will bear witness to Me and My kingdom with confessing courage …. These are only ever opportunities I offer to those who keep away from the places where My word is preached, for no-one shall be able to say that he has not even been addressed by Me Myself. And even if the occasion of such proclamations of the word appears to be an adversary’s attack …. if I allow it, it is not unfounded either, and there are so many of My ways that every one can be taken and leads to the aim if I Myself have pointed it out. And where it is only within the realm of possibility, there a light shall also be kindled. For human hearts walk in deepest darkness and shall be led out of this night ….

Amen

You will never be able to detach yourselves from Me, even if you don’t want to acknowledge Me. And your being proves the bond between Me and you, otherwise you would no longer be able to exist. Thus a detachment from Me is tantamount to complete transgression, and since everything that has emerged from Me will also remain in existence for eternity, a detachment from Me is therefore also impossible …. Whether you acknowledge Me or not only determines the nature of your being, it only determines the measure of light and strength in which you find yourselves, and it further determines the degree of bliss, your state, which can be agonizing if you lack light and strength. During your earthly life as a human being you, who reject Me, are not aware of the lack of light and strength, and therefore you also stick to your rigid rejection of My Self …. of the being Which is in highest perfection and from Whose power you once emerged. Yet after the death of your body you will feel this lack agonizingly and yet even then you will still mostly persist in your rejection because no light will shine for you in whose glow your thinking could clarify itself. But since I created you as free beings and thus also placed you outside freely so that you should become independent beings in isolation from Me, which also remained in the perfection given to them by Me in free will, I also had to respect this free will and let you go your way according to your will. And you chose darkness of your own accord, but My will did not keep you. However, you can also voluntarily return to the light at any time …. And because this is and will remain My will to snatch you from the darkness and lead you to the light again, I will also not refrain from repeatedly letting a light shine for you which shall entice you to step into its glow. This happens on earth and I also continue My efforts in the kingdom of the beyond …. but always without compulsion of will …. and therefore often unsuccessfully …. Not to acknowledge Me, to believe to be completely independent of a higher power, thus to openly deny Me, is evidence of profound darkness, because such a person’s thinking lacks all light of realization, because his edifice of thought is completely groundless and would have to collapse if the human being had the serious will to receive clarification about the cause and purpose of existence …. if he would think about it ‘of good will’. But where this will is lacking, the light which often flashes before him is not heeded either …. And thus the light in the kingdom of the beyond will also be shunned and the darkness will remain impenetrable, but the state of torment will also become increasingly worse because a change should be striven for …. either in a favourable or also in an unfavourable sense, that the ever-increasing darkness results in a hardening, which again signifies banishment in matter. Once the being has to reach the light of realization, and once it has to hand itself over to Me, it has to acknowledge Me in free will and strive towards Me …. Yet the human being who denies a God has little prospect of very quickly attaining the light of realization, for he has detached himself from Me of his own free will. He is still completely under My adversary’s control, whom he certainly does not acknowledge either but who has transferred his attitude to the human being, so that the latter confidently holds his view and can rarely be taught otherwise. And yet he could come to the light on earth if he would only ask once but not consider himself to be knowledgeable …. Then he would also follow the light which I also kindle for him in order to help him on the path of return to Me. But free will also remains with him, no matter how wrongly he directs it …. For he once departed from Me in all freedom, he turned away from Me of his own free will, and now he must also take the path back to Me of his own free will, which, however, can take an infinitely long time but will certainly happen one day ….

Amen

You all have to pass through a purification bath in order to become free from sin and its consequences. And no matter how your earthly course unfolds, it will always offer opportunities which are equal to a thorough purification, because they consist of suffering and hardship which are only beneficial for your soul. Yet the most effective means of purification and healing is love …. Anyone who practices this helps his soul to thoroughly purify itself, he also dissolves the hardest shells, for nothing can offer resistance to love, love dissolves and redeems, it sets the soul free and gives it the life that lasts forever …. You must all descend into this sanctifying bath, for even suffering and pain can remain ineffective if they are not accompanied by love. Because you humans take little care of love, because you let it grow cold and therefore also leave the soul in its unhappy state, because you don’t help your soul in its adversity, which signifies a burden of sin for the soul, it must now be helped in a different way. It has to go through a course of suffering which certainly also has the consequence that it dissolves the hardest shells …. but the soul remains weakened until it receives strength through the working of love …. Thus it can enter the beyond in weakness and helplessness but it has achieved on earth that it no longer resists the efforts of beings willing to help …. that it is grateful for the help in its state of weakness and is now also willing to provide the same assistance to souls which are in need like it. This will to help already gives it strength, for love flares up in those souls which only then secures the soul’s ascent. For this reason people should bless the suffering which affects them on earth if they lack loving activity, for the soul only gains through this, and it first has to have shed its burdensome dross before it is possible to give it so much light that it will then strive upwards itself. And therefore it is of little use to want to keep all suffering away from a person, (15.12.1956) and where the love of fellow human beings would like to help him, this love should be directed towards the person’s spiritual recovery, towards his spiritual progress. He should be remembered with intercession so that suffering does not fail to have an influence and that he is thereby purified, although fellow human beings should also do everything in their power to avert earthly suffering from their neighbour. But often you humans are helplessly confronted by your fellow human being’s adversity yourselves, and then you should know that suffering is permitted precisely for the sake of the soul’s purification; you should know that one day the soul will also recognize the blessing of the suffering it was granted in earthly life as soon as it has only surrendered to its earthly fate, because now it can also assess the suffering of other unfortunate souls in the beyond and thereby its will to help has awakened, which now also guarantees its ascent ….

Amen

I take great pleasure in those who selflessly only ever serve their fellow human beings, who know no self-interest, whose love only ever wants to make people happy and who therefore fulfil their purpose of earthly life …. who transform their nature, which initially still showed many signs of selfish love, into love for their neighbour which is pleasing to Me and now also includes love for Me. The human being’s earthly progress shall bring about this transformation, because then the return to Me will have taken place, which will make both Me Myself and the being indescribably happy …. But this transformation does not take place to any great extent, on the contrary, self-love becomes ever more apparent the further it approaches the end …. For self-love is stirred up by My adversary, it is his weapon, it is his nature and thus also the ruin of every being which is like him. And it can rightly be said in the last days that love has grown cold amongst people. And therefore My eye rests with pleasure on those who still show love in themselves and their actions, for these few join Me voluntarily, they return to their original nature, they turn away from My adversary whose unkindness they detest because the light of realization shines in them, which has kindled their love. Anyone who once let love flare up within himself will not return to his old state again because he recognizes the benefit of the light which love gave him. And then he will not need to fight against his selfish love, the right, selfless, happy-willing love will take possession of him such that he can only be happy in this love, he will put himself and his physical well-being aside, he will only ever be concerned about alleviating hardship and misery, about helping and advising; he will clearly recognize all evils which arise from wrong love, therefore he will also want to help spiritually and also kindle light in those who have not yet correctly recognized their purpose of existence ….. He will likewise want to lead his fellow human beings to the inner attitude of only ever acting selflessly and giving pleasure. A person who lives in love will then work with Me and in My will, because he is intimately united with Me through love and therefore cannot work other than in My will. And to have found such co-workers on earth is My joy, and My special love is also meant for them, My protection is meant for them as long as they stay on earth, and incomparable beatitude awaits them in the spiritual kingdom when I call them away from this earth. It is this true, unselfish love which makes you blissful beings and brings you so close to Me, because your nature deifies itself through such love and because you now shape yourselves into My image, into children to whom I want to and can give Myself. What you gain through such true love eclipses everything you could achieve in self-love, for these are only sham goods which do not last, but through which you lose the true goods which can make you happy in the spiritual kingdom …. An infinite amount is lost to you through your wrong love, but unselfish neighbourly love can only ever be preached to you again and again, and you can only ever be pointed to the one Who exemplified it to you on earth: to Jesus Christ …. And if you are too weak to change your selfish love but want to become blessed, then ask Him to strengthen you and this request will truly not remain unfulfilled. You will get to know the blessing and happiness of selfless love and also the futility of what you previously desired for yourselves …. I rejoice in every person who cultivates true love, but therefore I also help all those who only turn to Me in Jesus Christ …. who have the will but are too weak to put their will into action …. I give them strength so that they, too, will achieve what is the purpose of all people’s lives: the transformation of their nature into love ….

Amen

You will often be asked questions which you should answer truthfully, and then you always have to ask Me to instruct you through My spirit, to give you the right thoughts, so that you say the right words when it is requested of you. But since I want people to receive the truth I will always enlighten My bearers of light, I will not allow them to accept misguided mental concepts, I will always support their strength and will of resistance and increase their feeling for the pure truth and thus they will also always be ready to solve problems which can lead to differences of opinion and spiritual debates. Everything is known to Me and every doubting or questioning thought is obvious to Me, for this reason I repeatedly give people on earth and even the souls in the beyond the opportunity to voice every question of doubt in order to answer them truthfully. Because far more questions of that nature are posed in the spiritual kingdom than on earth, where people are still too distracted by earthly thoughts and objectives and frequently do not allow such thoughts to bother them.

But at the same time they are also frequently the cause of the immense spiritual decline, because error is rejected by thinking people and thereby every religious doctrine is also frequently rejected …. thus error can lead to total disbelief. Yet truth can make such doubters thoughtful, they can even regain their faith if they are of good will …. Hence it is of particular importance to keep explaining the ‘instituted words for the Lord’s Supper’, which are used by you humans as a reason to portray a publicly visible ceremony as My will, the disregard of which you denounce as a punishable omission, and now have completely lost the meaning of My Words …. So now one person eagerly follows the humanly decreed instructions and customs while the other realises that they are worthless and then completely repeals My Words, whose meaning nevertheless are, were and will remain very meaningful, because I used these Words to remind you humans to establish the heartfelt union with Me, which is the meaning and purpose of your earthly life …. Because only by way of this intimate union will you enable yourselves to receive light and strength in the form of My Word from Me, which help you towards perfection. You humans believe that you can form a close relationship with Me by a purely external process, by the acceptance of bread and wine which you regard as ‘My flesh and My blood’ …. Thus time and again this wrong idea has to be corrected ….

I cannot enter into unity with you until you have shaped yourselves into love …. Only love establishes the union with Me, and only then can I take supper with you, I can satisfy you with the bread of heaven, with My Word, with My flesh and My blood …. My instituted Words ‘This do in remembrance of Me’ were a request that My disciples should give in the same way as I had given them, because what I gave them …. bread and wine …. they had received abundantly from Me, for I taught them and gave them knowledge. I had offered them My Word in all fullness and now they were meant to spread My Gospel throughout the world …. They were to pass on My Word so that people would receive knowledge of Me, so that they would not forget about Me, because humanity had to be informed of Me and My act of Salvation as it could only attain beatitude through its faith in Me …. Hence by way of these instituted Words ‘This do in remembrance of Me’ I gave My disciples the direct task of offering their fellow human beings My Word, the bread of life, the manna, which comes from heaven …. And as a sign of the urgently required spiritual food by people I offered them earthly bread and earthly wine ….

My disciples, however, understood Me because I often spoke in parables to them since My spirit enabled them to understand it. I handed the bread to them with the Words ‘This is My flesh’, and I let them drink the wine with the Words ‘This is My blood ….’ and meant by this My Word with its strength, because I Myself Am the Word that became flesh for you humans ….

The significance of taking supper with Me, of being nourished by Me Myself with My Word which alone is the right food for the soul, which helps the soul to come alive, has been completely misinterpreted by people who were satisfied by merely walking to the table of the Lord figuratively. With such external actions they can never induce Me to unite with them if the first requirement, that the person shapes himself into love, has not been met. Secondly, the human being has to desire with all his heart to hear My Word, only then will he desire to be fed, and only then can he be offered nourishment for his soul. Then you ‘eat My flesh and drink My blood’ …. The Word that became flesh gives Itself to him, and then food for his soul will flow to him in abundance, because his hunger and thirst will then be satisfied at My table, he will be My guest, and I Myself will take supper with him, as I have promised ….

When I descended to earth ‘the Word Itself’ came to earth …. I brought to people what they urgently needed, and because I only lived on earth for a limited time I trained My disciples Myself by revealing Myself to them through the Word and giving them the office to convey My Word to people on My behalf. By living in accordance with My Word people would get into a position to enter into closest contact with Me and desire from Me the bread from heaven …. flesh and blood are something alive, and only something alive can awaken your dead souls …. Even My Word can be mere dead letters to you, and then it will not be able to bring you to life …. Only when you enjoy My flesh and blood …. only when you allow yourselves to be refreshed by Me at My table, will you feel the life and the strength of what I offer you Myself, and then you will eat My flesh and drink My blood, and you will recover and live eternally.

But the significance you humans have ascribed to My Words cannot satisfy any thoughtful person who is seriously striving for truth, for it causes confusion and darkness, it gives no light …. The compliance with external formalities will not result in spiritual progress. But where heartfelt love for Me and other people has created the conditions, the connection with Me will be established and the process of communion need not be an empty formality any longer, because then I Myself will give nourishment to the soul, and because it will now be revitalised by My Word which will give it consciousness of life …. because My flesh and My blood will be enjoyed in truth by the person with whom I can take true Communion ….

Amen

Everything I offer you is received by the entire spiritual world to which I can convey the light, that is, which is willing to accept it. My word constantly emanates into infinity because it signifies light for every being which desires light. And every being which I can therefore address is blissfully happy in the acceptance of strength which flows to it in My word. Light, love, strength …. My word demonstrates all this to it, and therefore every being is blissfully happy which is able to hear My word. For I communicate Myself to My children, and all creatures are My children who thus hear their father’s address from eternity. In the spiritual kingdom, however, My word is also perceived as an emanation of love on My part as soon as a being hears it as addressed to itself …. whereas on earth My word can likewise resound without being recognized by people as My address and then also remains without an effect of strength. And this is due to the deficient state of people whose souls are still unable to recognize the father’s voice …. People who regard every word conveyed to them by Me as a human word and therefore do not feel any effect of strength within themselves. Then My word falls on their ears, My ray of love does not touch their hearts, they receive neither light nor strength, yet through their own fault, because they do not establish a connection with Me, because they are without love and without faith. And likewise in the kingdom of the beyond, where the same conditions apply, that the souls are still completely dead and therefore they are also unable to hear My word. For in the beyond My word requires their willingness to listen to Me, otherwise they will remain in complete lightlessness and powerlessness for eternities. Yet in the last days before the end they will also work extremely diligently in the spiritual kingdom in the spheres where a light can only rarely flash …. The beings of light, who also want to bring light into those spheres, again and again startle the dead souls with flashes of light, and there is an uproar in those regions because again and again souls are struck by these flashing lights and also hear calls to follow those who want to lead them out of their sphere. The beings of light know that it is only possible for a limited time to influence these darkened souls and that therefore increased activity is necessary to loosen their fetters and lead them to freedom. But it is often a difficult start which requires perseverance and great patience but which is not abandoned by beings which are full of love …. And their endeavour is primarily aimed at inducing these souls to willingly participate in teachings, because only then will there be the possibility that I Myself can address them …. If they only hear My word once they will already feel its effect of strength and the work of salvation will have succeeded …. But they will not be forced, and therefore everything will be done to lead them without coercion to where they can hear My word. For My word can only become effective where it no longer encounters resistance. But then it will cause beatitude, and then I will also have won the creature and will never lose it again. And before the end of this earth the redeeming activity in the beyond will increase ever more and also find support through willing people on earth …. For My word will always and forever resound and always and forever contribute to the redemption and happiness of the beings …. Light and strength will always and forever be radiated into infinity. But light and strength can only be received by the creature which willingly opens itself, which no longer resists Me when I want to address it …. But then it will also be blissfully aware of My never-ending love which applies to every being for all eternity ….

Amen

All angels in Heaven praise and glorify Me for having descended to Earth in order to redeem the human race …. Not until the soul enters the spiritual kingdom will it recognise what act of love I accomplished for you, for as soon as it is enlightened it can witness everything and therefore also grasp the full significance of My descent, My act of Salvation, and in its love and feeling of gratitude it will only ever give thanks and sing its praises to the Saviour of humanity, Jesus Christ, Whom it now recognises as its God and Father of eternity and, in ardent love, is devoted to Him forever. Only a loving heart can assess the depth of My love and mercy which made Me descend to earth into a world of hatred and unkindness …. But people suffered tremendous spiritual hardship for they were gagged by My adversary who had complete control over them, who had deprived them of all freedom and from whom they would have been unable to release themselves without help. I saw the futile struggle of people who still had a living faith in a God and Creator and to Whom they therefore called in their distress …. I had already informed them long before through seers and prophets of the Messiah’s appearance …. and with anxious need they waited for this Messiah because they still believed in Me. And thus I sent the Saviour from above to them …. I sent My Son to earth in order to subsequently take abode in Him, in order to speak to them Myself, in order to reveal Myself to them and to mature their hearts so that they would learn to recognise Me and understand how I wanted to help them escape their adversity. For their thinking, too, was still far too worldly, they, too, only regarded Me as a Saviour from earthly adversity because they did not recognise their spiritual hardship but this alone motivated Me to descend to earth. And so I first had to prepare their souls through My teaching, I had to encourage and admonish them to live a life of love and exemplify such a life of love Myself, so that they thereby also gained more knowledge which then enabled them to understand and appreciate the greatest act of divine love …. Although My descent to earth certainly took place quite naturally it was nevertheless associated with miraculous side-effects which soon granted those, whose hearts were not entirely devoid of love, bright illumination as to who had come into the world in the infant Jesus. My boundless love and mercy had sought a path to win My lost living creations back again, and in Jesus, the human being, I walked this path Myself …. Although it was extremely sorrowful and bitter, it nevertheless brought deliverance to the enslaved human race, it brought them salvation from Satan’s power, it brought those of you back to Me again who wanted to find redemption …. I Myself came to earth …. but I was unable to appear in My power and glory, which would have completely consumed you. For this reason I came inconspicuously into the world in an infant, Which was and remained a shell for Me until the act of Salvation had been accomplished, for I Myself took the path across the earth in the human being Jesus, I became human for love of you, My living creations, in order to help you return again to your God and Father of eternity ….

Amen

You humans still have to go through great hardship, you are still completely devoted to the world and have not yet found the path to Me. I try to save everyone, I throw the lifeline to everyone, yet whether you take it is up to you, for I cannot force you to do so. But spiritual adversity dictates that earthly adversity should come upon you …. For you don’t know what it means when you experience the end in this adversity …. You only see the world, and you reach for its goods and don’t realize that your feet touch the edge of the abyss …. And if I want to pull you back from it, then a distress must come over you which causes you to look around …. And when you then step back, when you see the abyss and flee it, then the adversity was a blessing for you. After all, in a short time you humans will lose everything you own in earthly possessions because you are facing a great turning point, a spiritual turning point which includes the passing away of earthly creations. But in this short time you could acquire a great treasure of spiritual possessions which are everlasting. And I want to help you humans achieve this through hardship and suffering which cause the desire for earthly goods to die in you …. I Myself want to enter your circle of thoughts through these hardships, I want you to remember Me again, you who have forgotten Me …. I want you, in great earthly adversity, to turn to the one in Whom you did not want to believe …. that I, your God and creator, will be recognized by you as the last resort after all if you no longer know any other way out. And I would truly make it easy for you to believe in Me through unusual help which you can no longer describe as coincidence …. But I can only ever use such means of help on you which do not force you. Adversity is indispensable and will approach you humans in the most diverse ways but only have the one purpose to let you find Me. For whether I address you, whether I send messengers to you who bring you My word, whether the gospel is proclaimed in the world and you are informed of the end …. none of this brings about a great change in the thinking of those people who are slaves to the world, who are so under its spell that only its goods seem desirable to them. And they must turn away from the world through tangible earthly hardship if they still want to find salvation from ruin. These words are incomprehensible to all worldly people, for they don’t know that their souls are in distress, that they are in a terrible state due to the fact that the lord of this world still has them under his control and that they cannot become free as long as the human being clings to the world, as long as he is still unable to detach himself from it. For this reason they do not see adversity as a means of salvation for their souls, but they can become disgusted with the world and its goods if they can no longer enjoy them due to physical infirmities or illnesses or other hardships, and then their thoughts can still move in another direction. But as long as the world still tempts them with its pleasures and delights they will not resist these temptations and the last time until the end will pass unused for eternity. But great adversity can still touch hearts, great adversity can still open the eyes of individual people and make them recognize the staleness of the world and its goods. And blessed is he whose heart lets itself be addressed by adversity …. Blessed is he who can now himself do without for the benefit of his fellow human beings in need …. For he turns back on the path he had taken, and the danger of falling is averted …. and he will bless the hardship that saved him from death ….

Amen

Every person suffers hardship as long as I have still been unable to come to him Myself in order to redeem him, because he still keeps the door of his heart closed to Me. For I want to bring salvation to his soul, I want it to become enlightened and therefore I approach you as the ‘Light of eternity’ in the Word …. Hence I knock at your door and wherever it opens I will enter and take supper with him and he with Me …. But who gladly and willingly opens the door of his heart for Me? Who gratefully accepts from My hand the gift I have to offer? Who refreshes himself with nourishment and drink which I prepared Myself as powerful food for your soul? Mostly I come to closed doors and My knock remains unheard; mostly people don’t want to be addressed by Me although their souls are starving and go without, and the burden of sin has an effect of weakness and constraint …. I can’t bring redemption to it because this necessitates the willingness to accept Me Myself in the heart …. For the human being has to believe in Me as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ so that he can be redeemed, and if he believes in Me with a living faith then he will also open the door to Me and take Me in, then he will adorn the abode of his heart in order to receive Me …. he will allow Me to be his guest and yet he is My guest to whom I can bestow supper for his salvation. Love for Me and faith in Me also assures his redemption and releases him from his soul’s hardship.

However, love and faith have become rare amongst people and their souls are in a desperate situation which becomes increasingly more difficult to remedy. For although I Myself descend to earth in the Word, I Am no longer recognised, I Am far more often rejected than accepted when I want to make My living creations happy, and even the light accompanying My appearance will not be seen because people deliberately close their eyes, because they have no desire for light, because they are more comfortable in darkness and therefore shun bright light. I would like to bring Salvation to people yet they won’t accept it …. I would like to offer them delectable nourishment yet they neither hunger nor thirst for it …. I would like to remove the chains from their souls, I would like to redeem them from their bondage, I would like to release them from guilt and suffering and from My adversary’s control …. But they don’t long for this freedom, they willingly remain in this control, even if their souls are languishing in their hardship …. And therefore a time of grace is coming to an end …. A new period of redemption will start and prior to this I Myself will come to earth as I have promised …. And this second coming of Mine is close at hand. I will take those who had accepted Me before into My kingdom and those who had kept their ears closed to Me I will leave on earth, but in an undesirable state for they will be banished in the creations on earth again …. Since they did not allow themselves to be redeemed they will have to remain bound for an infinitely long time to come. I was unable to bring them salvation, I was unable to approach them as Saviour and Redeemer for they didn’t know Me or didn’t acknowledge Me. However, My Own will then remain in close contact with Me, I Myself will be in the midst of them and take care of My children both physically and spiritually …. For the new Earth will become their domicile where My promises will come true that I will dwell amongst them and reward their love and faith, that I will grant them beatitudes, that they will be able to be active in light and strength and all hardship will have been eliminated …. that peace will be amongst people because they are of good will ….

Amen

You cannot measure the great grace which a direct word reception means for you …. that the eternal deity Himself draws close to you and speaks to you words of love and mercy, words of encouragement and comfort, words of admonition and words of promise …. that I Myself address you like a father speaks to his children. You cannot grasp the measure of love which this direct address of Mine demonstrates to you because you have no understanding of how infinitely far the distance is from you to Me, because I am the most perfect being and you still lack an infinitely great deal towards your perfection. But love for you, which is equally infinite, unites us, and this love always wants to draw you more to Me, and therefore it first wants to help you to reduce the vast distance from Me. This is why I speak to you, and thus My love flows to you with every word …. And if it can touch your heart then love will also be kindled in you, and because love always urges love you also want to reach Me and I will come to meet you …. And every ray of love-light which is conveyed to you humans on earth in the form of My word is evidence of My infinite love for you, which you should not reject but open your heart to it so that it can illuminate and warm you inwardly, for until you kindle a fire of love within yourselves you are merely dead, purposeless forms, even if you fancy yourselves ‘alive’ on earth. For true life requires light and warmth, and it is precisely this true life which I want to give you through My ray of love which shall ignite in you. You shall attain life …. Thus you are still dead for the time being, and you will also remain dead until eternal life Itself finds access to your hearts. But I am constantly striving for this. I come to you Myself, I knock at the door of your heart and seek entrance, for I Myself am the word from eternity, I am the light, the love and the life …. The immeasurable grace of hearing Me Myself should make you tremble and fall silent, yet you humans are unable to grasp it, because you infant children certainly hear your father’s voice but you are incapable of grasping the meaning of His words in all their depth, and therefore you do not value the unusual gift of grace according to its greatness. The word Itself comes to you, and you know that the word became flesh …. that I Myself descended to earth in a fleshly shell in order to be able to speak to people who were unable to hear My voice within themselves but had to hear My word in order to awaken to life as well. But they, too, first had to let My word penetrate their hearts before they felt the strength of the word, they, too, had to kindle love within themselves, they had to open their hearts to Me so that I could enter in order to speak to them Myself …. This descent to earth was a work of mercy on people who had fallen prey to death and to whom I wanted to give life. Yet even this work of mercy was not understood in its full depth, it was not evaluated, otherwise it should have led to complete redemption, because the path to Me could now be covered easily and effortlessly …. However, people’s will was not willing to ignite the flame of love within themselves …. And this will cannot be forced but only ever influenced by loving address on My part. Only My word can bring about a change of will, and because people don’t have much time left on this earth I repeatedly approach them and speak to them …. And again and again I show them the path which they only need to take because then I Myself will meet them and pull them heavenwards …. Yet there is not much time left, and therefore My word from above will sound ever more insistently, My words of love will shine ever more flamboyantly, and their sparks of light will still touch some hearts and kindle a fire of love in them. For My measure of grace increases the closer the end is, and one day it will be clear to all My living creations what they have been offered, for life and bliss come so close to every person, My kingdom in its glory approaches you, and every one of you can gain it who listens to Me, who opens the door of his heart to Me if I knock and desire entrance ….

Amen

You truly have great wealth at your disposal which you may use at your own discretion and according to your own will. You can accept food and drink for your soul and thereby gather spiritual treasures for your soul thereby acquires strength which it uses in a God-pleasing way. No-one can deny you the receipt of the divine word if you desire to receive it yourselves, for this word will then sound within you, you can raise spiritual treasures within yourselves if this is your will. You should know that God does not leave a person empty-handed who desires to receive gifts from Him, and that you therefore only need to want in order to receive abundantly. But what God Himself distributes must also be a precious gift, it must have the highest value for you humans, it must be something which cannot be replaced by anything earthly …. And this precious good is available to all of you, incomprehensible though it is to those who know nothing of God’s infinite love, which is only ever willing to give and truly can also convey every gift to the human being by virtue of His might …. The body can certainly be denied many things it desires but the soul will always be considered, for every spiritual desire will be fulfilled and the soul need not go hungry if it desires food and drink. And in this realization you humans should also avail yourselves of God’s love and allow yourselves to be bestowed by Him, you should gather riches for eternity by only ever desiring that from God which is everlasting, which secures you a ‘life of bliss’: You should let yourselves be addressed by Him and then also do everything to the best of your ability what He tells you to do, and it will only ever be His will that you live in love. And if you fulfil His will you will gather treasures for eternity which can never be taken away from you. Therefore, anyone who calls himself poor on earth is free to acquire wealth which is far more valuable than any human being will ever be able to possess on earth. But his desires must not be earthly directed, they have to be solely for God and His kingdom, then they will also find fulfilment. And this is why God often lets people live their earthly life in poverty in order to awaken the desire for spiritual possessions in them, in order to then be able to give them wealth which outweighs all earthly hardship and worries and which will remain with them even when their earthly life is over. No person on earth needs to call himself poor or feel poor because the spiritual treasures are at everyone’s disposal, thus every person could be immeasurably rich who allows himself to be bestowed with the gifts which God Himself distributes. But these gifts have to be desired by Him, and truly, every person can desire them …. Yet people don’t know the value of the gifts they could easily acquire …. And only the soul which already possesses some light, which has already kindled love within itself, desires more light, nourishment from the spiritual kingdom …. And these souls constantly increase their wealth, for the more they receive the greater the desire becomes and the more they can now receive …. The wealth a soul can acquire in earthly life is immeasurable but it is not obvious to people as such, and therefore it is also little desired. But every person who believes in a God of love, in a father of His children, will also long for the father’s love, and he will know that this love is always willing to give …. and that he may always request His gifts of love. He will receive as he desires. But people will go empty-handed who never turn to their God and father and appeal to Him for light and strength and grace …. who never desire His word and therefore do not give their soul any nourishment which can help it to live …. These will depart from this world in utmost poverty, they will not be able to show any wealth, and their souls will also have to live in want in the kingdom of the beyond ….

Amen

Your life could be easy if only you would always remember Me and turn to Me with every worry and trouble. You only need to place every stress at My feet imploring me to take the burden from you or to help you carry it. But since you lack this total trust you have to carry your burden yourselves and thus often lead a hard earthly existence. Your belief in Me and My help is not very strong or you would not make every effort to dispose of your worries yourselves, instead you would rely far more on the One Who’s love and power is so great that He always wants and can help. And again, earthly hardship should make you remember Me …. It should push you towards the Father, it should make you search for your God and Father Who then certainly also would allow Himself to be found.

People walk on earth, every one with his worry, his sorrow …. And I would be willing to help every one of you, but every one of you also has to approach Me for help. Because it would not be right if I would take all his suffering and his worry from him without this conscious appeal to Me for help …. It would not be right because then people would remember Me even less and because a carefree way of life would not result in any kind of spiritual success unless the human being is already so sincerely united with Me that he no longer needs the kind of worries which are intended to lead him to Me. But his course of life can be peaceful and calm when he has established this relationship with Me, when he comes to Me as soon as something disturbs him until he finally no longer undertakes anything without having communicated with Me first, that I Myself shall guide all his thoughts, words and actions ….

The earthly life could indeed be easy for you because the close bond with Me also protects you from all attacks by My opponent, who is your enemy and who would like to corrupt you by confusing your thoughts, and by means of constant unrest stops you from inner contemplation. Just imagine two extremely powerful Lords whose views and deeds are completely opposing each other …. One only gives love and His gifts bestow peace upon you, He is always willing to help and His power cannot be exceeded …. while the other only wants to hurt you and all his contributions will merely lead to destruction …. Do you still find it difficult to decide which Lord to follow?

I will always accept you, I will not close My ear to any call sent to Me in distress and worry because I Am only waiting for My living creations to turn to Me and by doing so to acknowledge Me as loving power to Whom nothing is impossible. And don’t remember Me only during times of hardship but always and constantly and you will be blessed and approach Me more and more trustingly as soon as you feel troubled ….

If you walk with Me your earthly life need not be difficult because then you have an ever helpful companion at your side Who carries your burden for you, Who guides you and removes every stone on your path, Who cares for you like a father cares for his children that they will not go astray or fall …. Who is always there for them when they need Him. But this companion must be consciously requested and even though I Am always standing by the wayside and know of everyone’s burden and worry …. the person who doesn’t remember Me has to continue to carry this burden until he has found Me …. unless he is so distant from Me that My opponent remains his master, who then will take his burden too but also his soul …. And thus you can even be grateful if you experience worries and hardship at times because then you know that you are not lost yet and still guided by My love which wants to achieve that you turn to Me so that I can help you in every need ….

Amen

You will not find inner peace in the world, you will not find the bliss which is only granted to you in intimate unity with God, for peace and bliss is My gift to those people who press towards Me, who want to be given by Me …. The happiness the world offers you is only intoxication, a sham happiness which does not last and again and again leaves an emptiness in your hearts …. But anyone who has once found Me, whom I was able to make happy with My gifts, is fulfilled, and yet he always desires anew. The intimate bond with Me also has the effect that the human being feels carried, as it were, and the earthly world hardly touches him …. He is certainly still in the world but it can no longer dominate his thoughts, he passes through it and remains unimpressed by its attractions and lures, for he is in the ray of My sun of love and everything earthly is faded and ineffective in this glow. He has found what his soul was looking for, and he is happy in this certainty. But how few people have established this bond with Me, which already makes them aspirants of My kingdom already on earth …. People certainly all seek happiness, yet every person’s striving for happiness only applies to the world, to earthly goods and therefore actually only to death, for this earthly world is dead because it is the kingdom of the one who opposes Me as an enemy of life. He seeks to keep everything in the state of death, whereas I want to give him life …. However, life cannot overflow onto the human being who has no bond with Me as yet, but the state of death will never earn the human being true peace and inner bliss either. Yet you could all create this blissful happiness for yourselves, because all people are allowed to come to Me in order to let Me bestow gifts upon them …. because I don’t reject anyone or deny him My love, but these blissful gifts can only be obtained from Me Myself, thus anyone who wants to receive them must also come to Me Myself and thus turn his back on the world, because I am not to be sought and found in the world. The worldly person does not understand these words, but anyone who has already been addressed by Me also knows that they are not empty words which I speak to people …. The earthly world is only your sphere for a little while where you may stay, but it will not remain in existence because the time has come when a great change will take place. If only you humans would believe that you would make better use of the short time you still have left for the salvation of your soul …. if only you would give up now what will be taken away from you in a short time. You would gain an unspeakable amount if you could sacrifice now …. even if only worthless goods to which you attach too much value. You will never attain true peace in earthly life as long as you don’t enter My circle of love, as long as you don’t take the path to Me and completely hand yourselves over to Me so that I take over your further path of life and guide you to the aim. But this complete surrender to Me will give you a blissful peace which you can never find in the world …. I only want you to attain life and therefore I try to lure you away from the things which signify your certain death. For the world is not My kingdom, after all, I have spoken the words to you humans: “My kingdom is not of this world ….” and anyone who wants to be accepted into My kingdom has to leave the world behind, he has to voluntarily turn away from it, he has to seek the heartfelt bond with Me and he will experience the peace and bliss of those who are inhabitants of My kingdom ….

Amen

There is still a difficult time ahead of you humans which, however, need not worry anyone who has already surrendered to Me, who has already recognized his creator and father, his redeemer and saviour in Me and thus already stands on My side because his will fully belongs to Me …. These, therefore, need not fear the coming time, even though they, too, will be affected, but they will always receive the strength from Me to master everything difficult, to become master of all adversity and to remain faithful to Me until the end. But to these I address My words with particular urgency to also point out the coming time to their fellow human beings …. For they go along with indifference and don’t prepare themselves in the slightest for this time by occasionally thinking about their way of life in inner composure and their purpose of existence …. in order to now also establish the bond with Me which would give them the necessary strength for the coming time. My servants on earth will rarely only find faith if they inform their fellow human beings of My words, of announcements of the end and of the great adversity that will befall the earth beforehand …. For no human being wants to believe such things, and the spiritual low level of their souls also determines their degree of realization, they lack the understanding for the spiritual connection of all events with people’s attitude towards their God and creator …. And often they do not yet believe in a God, and then the end of this earth is not believable to them either. But all of them will not escape the coming adversity, after all, such a change can still bring about a change in their attitude and thus also signify salvation in the last hour. And thus the call to repentance goes out to all of you humans, and I admonish you again and again: Be prepared, familiarize yourselves with the thought that your life will not last much longer and then act as if tomorrow would already be your last day …. Prepare yourselves …. by putting yourselves in order …. Do not think of the earthly things you leave behind, but think of what is imperishable. Think of your soul, which will remain, and whether the whole world will pass away …. And only take care of this soul as long as you have time. And you will truly find more inner satisfaction than you can now record, for the world’s goods cannot completely satisfy you unless your soul is still in the abyss from which, however, it shall ascend in earthly life. Only one thing is important in the coming time: that you find the path to Me. Then the adversity will let you take refuge in Me and I will help you. But to be without knowledge and without faith in a God and father means complete lack of strength for you humans to be able to face the coming time. And that is why you are repeatedly pointed to Me through My messengers who bring you My word, who inform you on My behalf of the difficult time you are approaching. You should not be without knowledge even if you don’t believe it, yet the adversity can then let you seek help from the one Who sent His message to you before …. And again and again you humans can see indications in world events, for it is coming, as it has long been proclaimed through word and scripture …. The signs of the end are so obvious to recognize and could also give the unbelievers food for thought …. And remember My words, “When you see all these things, then you know that the end is near …. “

Amen

The liberation of the spiritual in matter takes an infinitely long time, if the entire course of development is to be understood by this, the course through the creations of earth until embodiment as a human being. Hard matter keeps the spiritual imprisoned for an exceedingly long time, while the already more pliable shells in the plant and animal world release it again far more quickly so that it can move into the next external form, for the existence of plants and animals is not of such long duration as the human being himself can ascertain because he can follow the continuous becoming and passing away in the plant and animal world. And once the spiritual was able to obtain such creations, then it is also not too long until the last embodiment as a human being. However, it is hard matter which can often remain in existence for an inconceivably long time without experiencing dissolution, and which is therefore assigned to the still completely rebellious to stay in, so that it should give up its rebelliousness in it. Admittedly, this spiritual substance is not yet aware of itself but it feels the agony of its banishment and seeks to break its bonds, which, however, it only ever succeeds in doing when it is God’s will, when He deems the right time to have come …. Then the hardest matter can burst, which, however, does not mean freedom for the spiritual, but only a change of its bondage and at the same time a serving abandonment of this matter …. So then the path of serving in the law of compulsion already begins, as soon as hard matter is assigned a purpose, as soon as it is used to serve a certain purpose. And this can again take eternities until such outer shells now dissolve, but the spiritual in all matter always becomes free when a ‘serving’ in it has become impossible …. always provided that it has already been allowed to serve. And this therefore means that objects of use contain spirituality as long as they can still be used, as long as they serve some purpose. But if these things are deprived of their purpose, if they are thus rendered unsuitable by destruction to continue to fulfil a serving function, but if the spiritual substance in matter has not acquired the degree of maturity which is a prerequisite for the next easier external form, then that spiritual substance will be transferred into newly-emerging identical things in order to be able to continue the interrupted course of development …. but in which a corresponding serving activity must always be made possible for this spiritual substance. You must therefore differentiate: Spiritual things which are, as it were, so hardened in themselves that they have become ‘matter’, and whose giving up of resistance is expressed in the willingness to serve already more mature spiritual things as a cover …. and spiritual, which in these material shells now likewise declares itself ready for serving activity. And so the material shell can become useless for a specific serving purpose. Then the spiritual that comes to maturity in it escapes and moves into a new outer form, while the previous cover sooner or later receives the same task again, as soon as it has again become a suitable outer form in connection with such other disused covers, in which now again already more mature spiritual is ready to serve. Or else this matter, which has become unsuitable, dissolves itself, then the spiritual in it has freed itself and can now itself take on forms in which it is ready to serve. And the more an external form is given the opportunity to serve, the more matter itself will approach the process of dissolution, and then the second phase of development can already begin, that this spiritual being, originally banished in solid matter, can now already itself be active in external forms, thus serving …. which is why the dissolution of matter is a process which cannot be valued highly enough, but which must not be brought about wantonly, but must again only have as its motive a service to humanity or also to the still unredeemed creature. Only through service can the spiritual release itself from its bondage ….

Amen

It is a great responsibility to offer people spiritual information as long as it is doubtful whether it corresponds to the truth. Hence anyone, who believes that he is called to educate his fellow human beings, first has to arrive at the inner conviction that his teaching material is the pure truth. But he can only gain this inner conviction if he forms his own opinion first, if he seriously examines his acquired knowledge …. And, again, these examinations have to be conducted with My support, he must sincerely ask Me to enlighten his spirit, to guide his thoughts correctly, to protect him from misguided reasoning …. Only then will he be able to differentiate between truth and error, and only then is he a true servant to Me, a true messenger of My Word, who will now be able to work for the benefit of people on earth.

But anyone who unhesitatingly passes on spiritual knowledge which he has equally unhesitatingly accepted, is not in the right position. He is no messenger of My Word because he is not in My service but serves someone else, and his activity on earth cannot be blessed, for he acts irresponsibly towards his fellow human beings by leading them into error but asking them to believe him.

Everyone will now raise the objection that he believes to be true what he is teaching or spreading …. But it did not even occur to him that he, too, could have been given the wrong information …. And that in itself is blatant carelessness, it is a sin of omission, because he did not think about his spiritual information seriously enough …. When someone wants to work for Me then it is not unknown to him that I have an opponent …. It is not unknown to him that light and darkness oppose each other …. Thus he knows that the opponent’s work intends to darken the light, he knows, that he spreads error in order to refute the truth …. Consequently he has to guard himself from being taken in by error and to request My protection from My adversary’s activity, from accepting misconceptions …. And if he is serious, then I will draw his thoughts’ attention to misguided knowledge and he can be certain that his thinking will clarify itself. For I will leave no human being’s thoughts in error who prays to Me for truth.

But anyone who refrains from the latter and yet believes to dwell in truth, is mistaken …. Then he has to come to terms with his wrong information himself, but it is irresponsible to pass this information on, and therefore such a person burdens himself with much guilt, even though his listeners, too, have to do the same when they are instructed: to first ask Me Myself for truth and for enlightenment of thought in order to recognise it as truth ….

You humans examine every commodity for its value …. and thus you should also examine spiritual information and not accept it thoughtlessly and without hesitation. Something that does not correspond to truth will only be detrimental to you, it will never benefit your soul because it can only reach its goal through truth. Anyone who wants to be a teacher to his fellow human beings, first has to acquaint himself with what he wants to offer them, and he may and should only pass it on when he is sure of his teaching material, when he himself is convinced that it is the truth. And this conviction cannot be imparted to him academically, but he has to acquire it himself …. He has to desire the pure truth and turn to the Eternal Truth himself so that it can be bestowed on him …. Heartfelt contact with Me needs to be established in advance, but then he can confidently act as My representative, for he will only ever teach the truth when he wants to bring Me closer to his fellow human beings, and his work will be blessed ….

Amen

Time and again you will receive spiritual knowledge from external sources which, however, is only valuable if it originated from the same source as the Word conveyed to you from above, which flowed forth from the Primary Source of wisdom Itself. And those of you, who receive My Word directly, can assess this very quickly, because the knowledge revealed to you already enables you to make a correct and fair judgment, therefore all spiritual information has to correspond with this knowledge. I imbue all My children with My spirit who turn to Me Myself with a profound desire for truth, who are therefore willing to be of service to Me and the truth by passing the latter on. Since error is the greatest danger for people’s spiritual progress I will always take care to eliminate the former with truth. Thus, the transmission of truth will be My greatest priority, and everyone who offers his service to Me, everyone who is filled by the desire for truth, will be accepted by Me to spread it. But precisely this desire for truth needs to be present so as to be able to receive the truth from Me Myself. Everyone’s sincere striving for that which is good and true is pleasing to Me …. It is pleasing to Me if time and again a human being shows this great desire for truth, if he comes to Me with an empty heart in order to have it filled by Me, for he can only receive pure truth if he is willing to relinquish the previous knowledge which was not conveyed to him from Me. This knowledge can certainly also correspond to the truth, but then he will also receive it from Me again, but the complete relinquishing of spiritual information must first have taken place in order to prevent a mixing of spiritual knowledge of varied quality and thus not to endanger the pure truth. But this demand of Mine in particular is rarely heeded, it is rarely complied with.

Therefore, it is also only rarely possible to find a vessel which, having completely emptied itself, opens itself to the divine flow of the spirit in order to be subsequently filled with delectable contents …. For the pure truth from Me is exquisite knowledge indeed, it is, after all, a flow from above, an expression of Myself, a gift of grace offered by My Fatherly love which wants to regain its children for good. And this delectable knowledge needs to be carefully guarded against contamination, against mixing it with other spiritual knowledge which might devalue My gifts. The information I offer you through the inner Word, which thus clearly flows to you through My direct Word, should therefore also be distributed again as accurately as possible, it should not become the subject of intellectual explanations and thereby become interspersed with personal thoughts, for human thinking is not devoid of error, because it can be very easily influenced by My adversary. Only if a person speaks on behalf of Me and in My name about that which My spirit has revealed to him can he be certain that My spirit will then also work through him and that I will put the words he should speak into his mouth. And therefore I strongly urge every recipient of My Word to keep the spiritual knowledge pure, for where I speak, where I convey My Word to earth, human addition is truly no longer necessary but more likely is a danger which I caution against. For the knowledge you need is given to you by Me Myself …. what you do not possess you need not know for the mission for which I have chosen you …. for which I educate you so that you can accomplish it. I Myself will always give you what you desire to receive, and you will always be in possession of purest truth ….

Amen

I want to find a permanent dwelling within you so that I will be able to associate with you like a father with his children …. Only then will the original relationship be restored which you had with Me when I created you. But I can only take abode in your heart when you have purged and adorned it for Me yourselves, for I can only stay in a place of absolute cleanliness, where no impurities remain, for these prevent My presence as they are part of My adversary, who has to be totally expelled from you to enable My being there.

And thus your earthly task only consists of preparing your heart such that it can serve Me as an abode …. However, fulfilling this task requires your determination and therefore also your desire for Me which thus prompts your will to accomplish this work consciously: to purify your heart from everything that could prevent My presence. Even just the will to be united with Me is extremely highly valued by Me, and it will also provide you with enough strength to accomplish your intention …. You will recognise where you have to intervene, what you have to do in order to shape yourselves such that I can take abode in you …. You will realise that you still have many faults and imperfections, you will recognise all vices and longings as obstacles to My presence and then endeavour to repel what displeases Me and change everything which is degrading into virtues …. thus you will carry out conscious psychological work because you are attracted by the goal: to be eternally united with Me. Thus your love for Me must have been kindled in you already, and this love impels you towards Me and also gives you the strength to change your nature, which you certainly realise as ungodly and not in accordance with My will …. Consequently, everyone who recognises himself as imperfect can also be certain that I will help him to change …. However, people are in a bad way if they fail to discover any imperfections in themselves, if they are convinced of their worth, if they don’t find it necessary to improve themselves and therefore will never be able to receive Me in their hearts, because they suffer a rather sizeable evil …. pride, by which My adversary has firmly anchored himself in their hearts.

Anyone who, in profound humility, recognises himself and his unworthiness will appeal to Me for strength and help and for mercy …. And I will help him and even draw him to Myself with burning love and compassion …. But anyone who does not recognise his low, imperfect state, will never call upon Me either. He travels his path through life and is and remains conscious of his worth. But he walks without Me …. for as soon as he would feel My proximity his arrogance would leave him too …. But he is unable to feel Me, because I cannot come near him since he so obviously displays My adversary’s characteristic …. And thereby he pushes Me back; he lacks humility, which alone is regarded and showered by Me with a wealth of grace. As long as you live on earth you are all still afflicted by imperfections and faults, which therefore necessitate the conscious work of improving your soul if you want to receive Me Myself in your heart, if you want to unite yourselves with Me and experience the intimate Fatherly love yourselves …. But the resolve to attain Me and to change for My sake is enough for Me to provide you with so much strength and grace that you will indeed be able to accomplish this work of transformation, because I Myself long for your return to Me and will therefore help every human being who of his own accord also aspires to return to Me ….

Amen

Every person’s task on earth is to place himself in a state which allows for heartfelt contact with Me in order to then be active as My labourer on earth and to participate in redemptive work by informing their fellow human beings of their task on earth so that they will not live their lives on earth as human beings in vain but that it will result in the soul’s freedom after an infinitely long time of constraint. And a person who has decided to be of active service in My vineyard shall also make every effort to perform the duty I have assigned to him. He should only ever wait for My instructions which he can feel within himself if he cannot hear them through the inner Word. For each person is assigned a position in which he can make best use of his strength. I need faithful vineyard labourers everywhere, diligent work shall be done for Me and My kingdom in all places, and wherever I kindle a light it should be carefully guarded so that it will not be extinguished and darkness spread across people who are in most urgent need of light. I will bless the silent, diligent work of every servant, such work will never be done in vain, because all sources of light, all places where work is done for My kingdom, are surrounded by souls which have already departed from earth but which need just as much help as the people on earth …. These souls, however, will generally stay where they had lived on earth, for they are repeatedly attracted by these places for as long as they are not yet mature enough to be admitted to wherever merely a light is shining for them …. During these last days there is great spiritual adversity on earth as well as in the beyond, because the act of renewed banishment must be feared by all souls which cannot obtain a small ray of light prior to this …. The beings of darkness have no idea of the fate awaiting them but they feel the turmoil in their spheres and are also called, time and again, by the beings of light or led to sources of light …. which I have made accessible for this reason. It is therefore the task of every servant in My vineyard to be fully committed to his duty and not to shy away from difficulties because I can and will resolve them as soon as I recognise My servant’s willingness to accomplish his task on earth. No insurmountable obstacles exist for Me, be they of a spiritual or earthly nature …. With My strength every servant in My vineyard will always be able to work successfully, for it will be bestowed upon the person who wants to use it for Me and My kingdom to benefit the unredeemed souls. And a vast amount of detailed work needs to be done …. for this incorporates the blessing …. So no-one should shy away from this effort and, least of all, those who have already started to work for Me and My kingdom …. who thus voluntarily offered their service to Me and to whom I have assigned their place …. Nothing happens by chance, nothing is determined by your own will once it is inclined towards Me …. But My adversary will want to hinder you, he will try everything in his power to keep you from your redemptive activity, and therefore you will have to fight against difficulties …. But do you doubt the fact that My power is greater, do you doubt that I will, time and again, find ways and means when it comes to being active according to My will? However, I also expect you to strongly believe in My help and your constant willingness of continuing the work which has already begun for Me and My kingdom …. You must fight but not let My adversary become victorious, then My blessing will also rest upon you and your actions.

Amen

It is surely not to your credit if you humans allow your thoughts, actions and will to be determined solely by traditionally accepted views, if you do not seriously form your own opinion whether and to what extent such views are justified and to what extent they must only be regarded as the result of human thoughts. People are expected to attain perfection on earth …. and this is such a serious matter that everyone should earnestly investigate it. In that case, however, he will also have misgivings as to whether the demands made upon him are justified, and he will begin to question whether those traditions actually originated from Me, whether they are based on pure truth or on a truth that became spoilt in due course. Because a serious will to attain perfection on earth will certainly raise such doubts …. especially when it relates to very spoilt doctrines, for then I would place such doubts into a person’s heart Myself in order to guide him from a state of darkness into the light …. It cannot be denied that so-called ‘traditions’ contain much spoilt information, since so many customs and bad habits, as well as wrong doctrines, have been derived from My doctrine, which I Myself preached on earth, so that the pure Gospel of love …. the essence of My doctrine …. has been pushed into the background whilst human additions are claiming foremost attention.

And people allow themselves to be captivated by it, they make every effort to comply with the demands and dare not change old traditions and customs which are, however, of no benefit whatsoever for the development of their souls. Nevertheless, they cannot be excused since every human being is able to think and thus also has the duty to reflect on the doctrines which determine his fate in eternity. He should take his life on earth more seriously and not believe that I will be content with completely worthless performances …. which also include the ‘receiving of sacraments’, which are not sacraments at all …. because only what a faith awakened by love may receive from Me directly can have a sanctifying effect, thus when a union with Me has been established through love. Then a person will be so abundantly blessed by Me that he will be able to reach perfection on this earth …. Then all sacramental blessings will manifest themselves in the person …. He will receive the baptism of the spirit …. in turn he will be a teacher and messenger to his fellow human beings; he will always be allowed to partake of the bread from heaven, of My flesh and My b1ood …. Closely united with Me he will be alive with wisdom and love since he will no longer be burdened by the guilt of sin which was forgiven him for the sake of Jesus Christ, Whom his loving heart recognised and now acknowledges before the world. He will be filled with My spirit …. because he has come alive through his love and his faith. However, he cannot receive these blessings by performing traditional duties.

It is certainly good to guide the thoughts of a child towards the purpose of its life on earth and its task …. but it should never be taught to perform lifeless rites, instead it should always be taught to love. And a person’s spiritual development entirely depends on his attitude to this doctrine of love …. He can only attain perfection through a life of love and only this will yield the sacramental blessings. Because every human being has to strive for his perfection entirely voluntarily, but he will be prevented from doing so by demands and commandments which are supposedly My will. Since he should attain life …. he also has to be alive in his thinking, his will and actions. Every kind of formality, however, will destroy this life and something purely external cannot achieve an inner change. But every person is responsible for his soul himself, and he will have no excuse in the future that he had been wrongly informed, for every person who earnestly strives for perfection will also be given the opportunity to receive the pure truth from Me, providing he has the desire to gain Me and My kingdom and always wants to live in accordance with My will ….

Amen

I want to instruct you all so that your thinking would be free from error. I want to give you all light so that the darkness will leave you, and I want to fill you with strength and thus make you blissful beings already on earth. And thus I am always willing to hand out to you everything you lack, yet I can only offer it to you with love but not induce you to accept My gifts of love. And because you humans are still blind in spirit you pass Me by if I stand in the way and want to impart My gifts to you. Yet I will call upon everyone so that he will hear Me when he is unable to see Me …. and if My call is also overheard, then I touch him …. I will let him go through adversity and misery so that he will now pay attention to the one Who can bring him help. For people who are in an unfortunate state and yet could free themselves from it, endure Me. They endure Me because My adversary often closes their eyes and ears because they are still in his power. The weakness of My living creations takes pity on Me, and therefore My love constantly pursues people and awaits the opportunity to be able to offer them strength and light …. But which human being feels himself weak and miserable, which human being knows that he walks in darkness? As long as he still possesses vitality he does not feel the spiritual hardship, the lack of light and strength of his soul, because he does not know the right light which enlightens his soul and only gives man true happiness …. And he is also not instructed in the right way, he is not guided into right thinking, because those who now want to be teachers of their fellow human beings were not instructed right themselves …. But everyone would receive full enlightenment from Me Myself if only they wanted to take the path to Me, if only they wanted to listen to Me with an open heart, Who speaks to people again and again and only requires an open heart which listens to My words. If only people would believe that their God and creator wants to address them because He is also their father Who cares about His children’s salvation …. if only they would believe that the father’s love applies undividedly to His children and that this love only ever endeavours to change His living creations’ wretched state into a blissful one. My adversary, however, does not want to let this belief arise in you, but you yourselves should turn to Me and dispute his right over you, and you would always receive My support. But one thing is certain, that you humans will be influenced by Me to the same extent as My adversary tries to influence you …. but that it is now up to you yourselves whose influence you accept …. Every person will hear My address, be it in the form of My word or also in the form of hardship and suffering, if My silent address is not listened to …. And as long as you live on earth I will appear again and again and knock at the door of your heart …. for you humans have mercy on Me and I will not give you up, even if I have to struggle for you for ages …. But I will not rest until you willingly open your heart and ear to Me, until you let yourselves be gifted with light and strength from My hand …. For My love for you will not diminish, it applies to you for all eternity, and it only wants you to become blessed ….

Amen

It is freedom of will which I observe in all My living creations in order not to deprive them of the characteristic of divine origin and yet which is so often misused for ungodly actions. Hence you cannot say that I lack power or love because I allow things to happen which painfully affect you humans, which bring you suffering but which is inflicted on you by people or also by dark forces acting on behalf of their lord. I could certainly prevent it but then all evil activity would be impossible …. thus the will of those beings would be bound …. Yet you can rest assured that I will also let this activity become an opportunity for you to increase your soul’s maturity, that you can therefore also mature as a result of events caused by evil will and that I will protect you from these evil forces gaining control over you. Whatever they do, they cannot force your souls to fall away from Me, rather, they unintentionally push you towards Me, Who watches over you who belong to Me through your will. The will of all My living creations is free as soon as they can dispose of their will again …. in contrast to the time when the beingness has to go through creation as dissolved according to My will, which, however, will once again earn them the use of free will. It is now of great importance to know that I Myself do not want anything evil, that every event which affects you sorrowfully, every bad deed inflicted on you by people or spiritual forces, is only ever based on the beings’ freedom of will and is permitted by Me because of this freedom of will …. but that I now let every event become a test of faith for you or a possibility to mature. But often you yourselves are also unconsciously the cause that bad forces can try their hand at you, that you offer them targets of attack which they use all the more eagerly the more they recognize your striving towards Me …. And then your counteraction can only consist of your ever more heartfelt devotion to Me, of your asking Me for protection from such forces but also for your own strengthening of will and rightly directed will …. Where the free will of other people or spiritual forces is abused, you should always urge yourselves more towards Me of your own free will, you should fully submit your free will to Me but beware of repaying like with like …. thus also do evil to your fellow human being who wanted to harm you. Everyone has to answer for his will because it is free; however, he may not be prevented by Me if he abuses it, for this is his test of earthly life which he has to pass: to give his will the right direction in all freedom …. It would certainly be easy for Me to prevent every evil deed but nothing would be gained by it. Yet I know everything, and what I therefore allow also has a purpose for people’s spiritual development, even if you are unable to understand it and harmonize it with My perfect nature, with My love, wisdom and might …. But you may believe My words that I nevertheless watch over you, over each individual, that I protect you where it is possible without having to curtail free will. But everything can serve the soul towards perfection if only it adheres to Me, if it completely submits itself to Me and My will ….

Amen

A bright light shines for the souls in the beyond wherever I Am able to convey My Word to earth. These souls are often surrounded by such profound darkness that it is causing them overwhelming pain from which they would like to escape. And if their desire for light arises then I will also let them recognise sources of light because then the souls will go to them …. And this is the beginning of their ascent …. albeit at first it is almost imperceptible, but once a soul has visited a place where it has detected a ray of light it will keep returning to it, and then there is no further danger that it will descend into darkness again. But what is the nature of the light that makes them feel good and want increasingly more light? ….

Souls who apathetically stay in dark spheres are entirely devoid of strength and thus incapable of recognising anything in their environment. However, they are aware of being alive, of not being obliterated, and this awareness is tremendously agonising for them, since they are able to think even though their earthly acquired information has become confused …. Nevertheless, they are able to contemplate their wretched state and thus start to question themselves whether and in what way they have caused this state themselves …. And if such questions arise in them I Am also prepared to answer these questions. But I cannot do so directly, instead I just have to offer them the opportunity to find someone willing to instruct them accordingly. And every such question and the desire for an answer is already a desire for light …. All lack of knowledge is the equivalent of darkness for the soul, all correct knowledge is light …. A soul which no longer occupies its body, which therefore is no longer able to see with its physical eyes, is blind as long as it is completely ignorant, and for this period of time it will be engulfed by night.

But it may be given light, it may receive clarification, and as soon as it willingly listens to these explanations it will also perceive that the night is becoming lighter …. At first it will enter into a twilight state, it will begin to formulate clear thoughts and thereby experience a sense of well-being, and then it will become increasingly more illuminated within; it will be able to see what it was previously unable to see …. however, its sense of well-being is not caused by earthly-material impressions, rather it is gladdened by a state of inner enlightenment because it also knows that it will be able to escape its dreadful situation and how it can achieve it. Besides, it is faced by a sphere of activity which it finds indescribably attractive after its former state of inactivity, for now it has the strength to work, since it is motivated to do so by an urge to love.

Hence, the places where My Word can be heard are such places of enlightenment which emanate a glow of bright light attracting innumerable souls …. but which will only be perceived by those who yearn to leave their darkness, who long for light. For there also exist souls which shy away from light, which have sunk so low that the light is painful to them since it reveals their depravity, and who therefore fight the light believing themselves able to extinguish it. However, such souls will be pushed aside, whereas every light-desiring soul will be attracted by or guided to it by helpful beings, and as soon as they merely listen without resistance to what is imparted to them, the state of darkness will change into a state of twilight. Now these souls will be stirred by an impulse for life and they will become hopeful …. they want to live in order to become active, and their resolve will also give them the strength ….

Light is knowledge, light is truth, and thus light is the only thing that needs to be transferred to the souls in darkness so that they, too, will awaken to life …. And this is why you will always be besieged by light-hungry souls which want to participate in the transference of light when My Word is conveyed to you, when I enlighten you humans, when I impart the pure truth to you through My spirit …. This is why there will always be a glowing light attracting countless souls as soon as you make contact with Me in order to receive My Word. For the concept of light in the spiritual kingdom only ever has to be understood as the transference of the pure truth from Me …. Light is realisation, light is knowledge which originates from Me, which is radiated by Me Myself to earth in order to penetrate the darkness, to enable you humans to become blessed, but which you only ever will be able to receive if you make contact with Me, with the light of eternity ….

Amen

Working for the kingdom of God is the most glorious task a human being can accomplish on earth, which will gain him maturity of soul and is also of greatest benefit for untold beings, for only the spreading of God’s Word can enlighten the souls and lead them to Me, to their Creator and Father of eternity. And therefore I will bless everyone who offers his service to Me, and I will grant each person the strength to administer his position on earth correctly …. Once he makes an effort to make Me and My Word accessible to people in the realisation that this is necessary for their soul’s salvation, he will be a true labourer in My vineyard. But this willingness to help humanity must predominate in him, he must not be impelled by selfish motives to accomplish work which then …. instead of being spiritual work …. would merely be a worldly task, even if it seemingly aims for spiritual gain. And I can truly judge who serves Me or purely his own ego …. And by this alone I judge the work of people who hold a spiritual position, and only by this. This should make you humans pause for thought, for then you will also understand that you can derive a blessing from all schools of thought if the willingness to serve Me motivates a preacher to make My Word known to his fellow human beings. In that case he will always receive My support as well and I will guide his thinking correctly so that he will speak to people on My behalf. But then he will always only speak in accordance with the truth, because I Myself will address people through him and I can only ever offer them truth. Humanity suffers immense spiritual hardship which can only be remedied by offering them My Word, for My Word is the light and strength which is lacking in people. My Word teaches love, and light and strength only flow to people through loving activity …. Thus people first need to be instructed through My Gospel that they must live in love in order to mature in their souls. And every person is blessed by Me who proclaims this divine teaching of love to people and, at the same time, refers them to the One Who, out of love for humanity, suffered and died on the cross …. to Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, in Whom I embodied Myself on earth …. All people need to know about this greatest act of love and mercy and about Jesus, the man, in Whose shell I Myself accomplished this act. And My instruction for all who go into the world as My true disciples is to convey the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His divine teaching of love to their fellow human beings …. And everyone who willingly fulfils this instruction out of love for Me and his neighbour is a true servant for Me, he is a labourer in My vineyard whose work will always be blessed …. And if he opens his heart and ears to Me, he will also always hear My directives within himself, be is through the audible Word or through his feelings which impel him to speak and act according to My will …. Each person who has totally handed himself over to Me, who seeks to comply with My will, who has recognised Me as the only desirable goal to strive for, is a faithful servant to Me …. For this servant will also establish an essential bond with Me in order to serve Me as a suitable tool, so as to make Me and My kingdom accessible to people …. And his deeds will always be blessed ….

Amen

People’s activity on earth is visible in the spiritual world, and it increases the light beings’ eagerness to help because they, too, know of the approaching end and the fate of those who will fail. Merciful love constantly impels them to help but people’s will frequently resists them, and they are not allowed to act in opposition to people’s will. But since they recognise people’s spiritual state they also know effective remedies, and in complete compliance with God’s will use these methods in order to influence earthly events.

Hence joyful as well as unfortunate events can be due to these light beings’ influence who want to save or lead their protégés to God …. For God Himself has joined them to people as spiritual guides, and therefore the well-being of their protégés’ souls is particularly dear to their heart. They, too, know the blessings of suffering for all people and thus suffering is often unavoidable, even though the beings of light are full of love for people.

But to have saved a soul is gladdening for every being of light; after all, they know the infinitely long-lasting state of torment the spirit will have to endure if it gets constrained into matter again. Compared to this state of torment even the worst suffering on earth can be called trivial, and therefore it is used by the helpers such that they will destroy earthly happiness and thereby so painfully intervene in a person’s life that a loving motive is barely recognisable …. nevertheless, it is only due to love and concern for the human being’s soul which is in utmost danger. For as long as it still lives on earth it will not be abandoned by its spiritual friends and guides. And since you humans have increasingly less time until the end these painful interventions will also become ever more frequent, for they act on God’s instruction, they are merely His co-workers who act in accordance with His will.

People collect ever more earthly possessions, they pay consistently more homage to the world and its pleasures, and thus their earthly happiness often has to be destroyed, they have to experience the destruction of earthly goods and learn to recognise the staleness of worldly joys. And all this is only possible if they don’t get their own way, if misfortunes prevent their unbridled enjoyment of whatever they are striving for …. Then it will be possible to turn their thoughts in a different direction, and in that case the earthly loss would be a huge spiritual gain …. Then the beings of light will have been victorious and helped the souls to gain life, for which the souls will be eternally grateful to them.

The darkness in which people live on earth is obvious to all beings of light, and they also know that the world is to blame …. Hence they only ever endeavour to turn people’s thoughts away from the world and try to achieve this by using apparently harsh and heartless methods which, however, are always based on love, because they are as one with God and therefore also full of love for all wretched beings on earth.

There is only little time left until the end but this time will indeed be very difficult, because all souls which do not voluntarily renounce the world and turn to God will have to be affected …. And thus every difficult experience, every harsh stroke of fate should be considered methods of rescue, which with divine approval still have to be used on people who are at risk of descending into the abyss …. For every soul has its helper and guardian in the beyond, nevertheless, they always have to respect its will or no human being would in fact go astray but instead find his way back to God before the end ….

Amen

A leisurely earthly life would mean, for most people, spiritual standstill or even regression, since then the human being would only rarely actively consider his spiritual perfection because his earthly life would completely fulfil him, that is, he would be satisfied if it offered him what he physically needs. Thus his selfish love would constantly be sustained and neither would his fellow human beings’ fate offer him any opportunity of helping them and of being selflessly active. Earthly life is a time for testing the human being’s will. But in order to prove itself it must be stimulated from different directions …. Consequently, every instinct in the human being has to be addressed and the will has to determine which instincts should be granted satisfaction. And that requires repeatedly changing circumstances, it requires constant stimuli and also constant failures, which thus determine the human being’s conscious battle of life. This can be purely physically directed but can also influence his inner life and so the human being can avail himself of all opportunities to mature fully …. but also let such opportunities pass him by. Only a constant battle of life propels a human being into action, at first only demanding his energy of life which he, however, can also use for attaining spiritual strength. An earthly existence without a fight would, in fact, leave his vitality unused, since a peaceful earthly existence would only very rarely kindle the love in people’s heart which impels someone into kind-hearted activity. People would purely live idle lives and not recognise a purpose for their existence, which consists of changing their selfish love into love for their neighbour. For he sees that his neighbour’s situation is just as good as his own and has no reason to prove his love for him.

On the other hand, however, he can create a peaceful earthly life for himself if he endeavours to balance the existing disparity amongst people with love, if he tries to remedy desperate situations, which for the sake of the soul’s maturing have to exist, through unselfish activity of love and thus places himself into a state of maturity which will result in a carefree life on earth, because he has passed his test of will at the same time: to establish a bond with Me through love …. which is and will remain the purpose and goal of earthly existence …. Earth is a place to mature for the soul which enters the earth still in a very immature state. Hence it cannot be a paradise-like abode as yet as a result of My will, but it could become a paradise-like abode as a result of people’s will …. if only everyone strived to comply with his earthly task of shaping himself into love …. for which, however, the opportunities must be created for him, and these consist of carrying out selfless deeds of love for fellow human beings suffering adversity. For thereby you demonstrate your love for Me and your neighbour. But then every person can be certain that ever less distress and worries will burden him and the earth could truly be a paradise-like abode for all people, if love pervaded all of them. Earth is a place of education which every human being has to undergo …. He enters it in an immature state and should leave it fully mature again …. And success will at all times also presuppose hard work; victory will always be the crowning of a battle that took place before …. But the goal is a glorious one indeed, and people’s will can achieve this goal ….

Amen

Again and again you are given the opportunity to take notice of My word and, depending on how you let it affect you, you adjust yourselves to the one from Whom this word originates. Again and again I bring My word close to people who do not yet have a bond with Me in order to encourage them to establish this bond with Me. They have to be addressed by Me first, and if My address not only touches the ear but the heart then they also make contact with Me …. They respond to My word, mentally ask questions and also mentally receive answers to them. And thus I reveal Myself to every person through My word, yet as long as they merely read or listen to it thoughtlessly they don’t feel addressed by Me, instead, it remains without content for them like every other written or spoken word. And thus it is up to the human being himself whether he makes contact with Me …. This is determined by his free will, which I will never force. Therefore I only influence the human being’s will insofar as that I repeatedly send a messenger in his path who conveys My word to him …. that I fatefully direct the human being’s life such that he meets proclaimers of My word and, through difficult or sorrowful situations in life, he is prepared to give them an open ear and heart …. Then it is still his free will how he lets My word affect him, but the opportunity has been offered to him, and thus one day he will also have to answer for how he has used this opportunity. Since the proclamation of My word is of utmost importance I will also bless every proclaimer, every person who receives My word for the first time himself in the desire to enter into contact with Me and who then voluntarily offers himself to Me for service, for only through such a person can I successfully influence those who are still distant from Me …. I cannot address them directly but I can nevertheless address them far more forcefully through My servants if this servant speaks vividly, full of inner conviction and out of love for Me …. Then his words will also have strength and can touch his fellow human being’s heart far sooner than if only dead preachers of the word speak …. these are those preachers who only give explanations according to the letter and have not yet grasped the meaning of the words they passed on themselves. Nevertheless, they can still be successful if a person listens to them with a desiring heart, for then I can also address him Myself and My word will penetrate the heart. Yet it is absolutely necessary for the human being to gain knowledge of Me, with Whom he shall unite in order to mature spiritually, in order to become blissfully happy one day …. And if he himself does not seek Me then I Myself must step into his path, and I truly do so again and again. However, what My word does not achieve must often be brought about by severe strokes of fate …. And thus you will also understand why humanity is increasingly afflicted by such strokes of fate, for people increasingly close their ears and hearts to the proclaimers of My word …. What My servants try to explain to them seems ever more unreal to them when they are listened to. Their faith in a God is weak or not alive, and therefore they also pay little attention to My word. Now they can certainly reject My word but they cannot defend themselves against blows of fate, and these are then the last means I use to induce them to bond with Me, even though these means can also remain unsuccessful. And yet, it would be so easy for all people to let Me Myself speak to them if only their will were willing to acquire knowledge about the origin and purpose of existence …. Yet the will is free, and this also explains the spiritual low which can only be remedied by receiving My word, but this requires an open heart of free will ….

Amen

One misguided teaching can result in an endless number of misguided teachings or views if it is not corrected before it can exert its devastating effect. For a misguided teaching, no matter in which area, is always My adversary’s work who thereby wants to win people over and make them incapable of recognizing the truth. But what comes forth from the adversary can never have a good or non-harmful effect …. This is the only reason why I always try to convey the truth to you, because a misguided teaching cannot be fought in any other way, thus I will never use force against it but make it possible for every person to recognize this misguided teaching and to displace it through truth. If you humans now know about its devastating effect you will also understand why I instruct My bearers of light again and again to take action against everything which does not correspond to the truth. I can certainly be lenient with people who are completely without knowledge, who, in good faith that they are acting right, profess error because they believe it to be truth …. But I also know who is capable of an examination, and if I now give him the opportunity to come to terms with the spiritual knowledge he was offered …. if I supply him with truth and he can therefore oppose it to error, then he should also make use of this privilege …. And then I can no longer be lenient towards him if he nevertheless holds on to error and does not accept the truth. For only the truth can bring him blessings for his soul, an erroneous teaching, on the other hand, cannot bring his soul ascent …. but a person’s degree of love for Me will be assessed if he follows an erroneous teaching …. But he nevertheless has to accept the truth, and if this does not happen in earthly life then in the kingdom of the beyond, and depending on the degree of light in which he departs he will be able to recognize error and truth there in a shorter or longer time. But only the truth can make him happy. But if the bearers of light succeed in already branding a misguided teaching on earth and rendering it harmless through pure truth, if they succeed in proving My adversary as the origin of a teaching, then an inconceivable amount will have been gained, because at the same time all effects of that teaching will also be recognized and because the human being will now also recognize Me and My nature ever more brightly, but which is veiled by misguided teachings or even results in a distorted image of Me. For you must always bear in mind that My adversary wants to prevent you from recognizing Me correctly in order to also prevent you from showing love towards Me and striving towards Me. Hence I, as the eternal truth Myself, can only be distorted by error, and it requires a great measure of love to nevertheless hand oneself over to Me and not take offence at error, but only very few people have this love, and therefore error is a great danger, after all, it drives people into the adversary’s hands where love does not prevent his influence. People don’t take truth seriously enough because the deep desire for it would quickly let them recognize where error has crept in. But thoughtlessly they mostly accept everything that is put in front of them as truth, or else they reject everything. Pure truth would prevail if people themselves aspired to it. Their indifference towards the truth, however, makes it possible for My adversary to intrude and spread misguided teachings, and that My adversary’s intention is to work against Me will be clear to everyone …. Consequently, people must also recognize the danger of his activity and his works, and those who recognize error as error and are able and also instructed to oppose pure truth must not show tolerance towards it. For I only guide the truth down to earth in order to help people out of the darkness of night into the light of day …. And whoever receives light should not turn his eye towards the darkness but carry his light into this darkness in order to chase it away ….

Amen

You humans can draw from many springs, but if you long for a water of life, if you want to offer your soul a truly strengthening and invigorating drink, then you must direct your steps to the spring which God Himself has opened up for you. You must refresh yourselves where the water of life flows forth …. where God Himself conveys His word to earth. It does not always have to be My word spoken directly to you which finds access to people in an ‘unusual-seeming’ way. You can hear it wherever My word is proclaimed if you yourselves go there hungry and thirsty and heartily desire to find nourishment for your soul. And then you will also be addressed by Me Myself, thus you draw from the right source. Pure, clear water of life is always offered to you if you come to the source of life yourselves, if you intimately unite with Me before …. This bond is therefore the prerequisite for the right drink of life to be offered to you. But how often do people switch Me off, how often do people receive spiritual knowledge purely intellectually, they listen to sermons and only listen to the words, they think about them as if they were earthly thoughts, they also want to make a profit from the words, they want to increase their knowledge …. but to offer nourishment to the soul they do not think of …. And if spiritual knowledge is offered to them elsewhere they will accept it in the same way, they will, as it were, drink from any water which is accessible to them without checking from which source it flows. But this examination can only be carried out in connection with Me, and therefore no human being, no matter how highly developed his intellect may be, can attain complete clarity as long as he has not established heartfelt contact with Me, for as long as he does so the right source of life is hidden from him, and he only ever satisfies himself with weak nourishment, and his soul languishes and cannot mature on earth. But every person can be certain that I will speak to him Myself if he desires to be addressed by Me …. Every person can be convinced that after heartfelt prayer to Me he will always receive the food and drink his soul needs. And if he accepts My word after all where it has already been contaminated by human will, then his ear will certainly hear every word but his heart will only be impressed by the truth, only that will enter his heart again which originates from the original source of truth, for I Myself am now standing at the place where the human being wants to be fed, and I Myself will provide him with the right food and the right drink, because this is now possible due to the intimate bond with Me …. And where the intimate bond has also been established by the preacher himself beforehand I Myself can speak through those preachers, and pure, clear water of life will flow to all those who draw from the source, whose souls want to be nourished and whose hearts will now also be touched by My word. The bond with Me is necessary, for I Myself am the source and the origin of all life. The human being must be serious about only accepting the right, unadulterated spiritual knowledge, his soul must feel hunger and thirst and desire the right nourishment, then he can also be certain to receive it, for then he will also turn to Me Myself, he will not merely desire ‘knowledge’ but seek to attain the knowledge beneficial to his soul, which he can only ever find with Me Myself and therefore he must also unite with Me. But then he will also always receive the same which I convey to earth where I can directly address a person. For all these draw from the same source as soon as they unite with Me, and their souls will always be nourished and strengthened, because the nourishment they are allowed to draw from My source of life is so delicious and is available to all people who come to Me and desire My water of life ….

Amen

How weak your faith still is …. You could achieve everything if only you firmly believed that nothing is impossible for Me and that I love you. And in such faith you should then hand yourselves over to Me, no longer want anything yourselves and only wait for My help with complete trust. And you will receive it …. My love is also undiminished for those who do not yet recognize Me, who form a wrong impression of Me if they want to accept Me at all. And I am still trying to win them over. The ‘love of God’ shall also be revealed to them as well as the ‘power of God’ …. They, too, shall get to know a living God so that they will stretch out their hands towards Me and I can draw them to Me. You humans do not know My plans of salvation and therefore many things are incomprehensible to you, but you should accept and recognize everything as My will and My plan and unhesitatingly submit yourselves to Me. You humans are unable to do anything on your own, even if you try to change things on your own when you find yourselves in difficult situations …. You cannot do it as long as My will is against it. But you can all the more join Me, you can always come to Me and ask Me to change your situation and you can be certain that I will then always help you as it is beneficial for your soul’s salvation. But your soul is no longer at risk if you fully trust Me, if you willingly give yourselves to Me, if you let Me think and care for you …. And then you will achieve much, because then you will have reached that degree of faith you should have in order to be able to serve Me in the coming time. For then your fellow human beings who still lack faith and who shall also find Me in their adversity shall be lifted up by your strength of faith. But those who still look for their God in the distance, who have not yet experienced God’s obvious working in themselves and who shall now come alive, shall also become thoughtful …. For they are still dead in spirit, their faith is also still a dead faith that lacks strength …. And with such a dead faith they will not stand firm when the end comes. I would like to come to the aid of all these, and I truly also know the right ways and means, and I also apply them …. People’s spiritual state in the last days before the end often causes Me to work in unusual ways which, however, should not force them to believe but are suitable to make certain people think, and only then can I Myself mentally influence them and achieve a change of heart, and what was previously dead in spirit can awaken to life. Be satisfied with My words that I know everything and that nothing is in vain which happens …. that My will or My permission always aims at something which is a blessing for you humans. And in this realization only ever hand yourselves over to the father Whose children you want to be …. Press ever more intimately upon Him and you will truly not seek protection and help from Him in vain. For your father is love …. and love will only ever act in a way that is best for a child. But also stand firm in this faith, don’t let yourselves be overthrown, no matter how doubtful My love and help may seem to you …. Your faith alone determines the strength with which it is effective. But I will not disappoint My child who trusts Me. And profound faith will also reveal Me in all glory. For what seems impossible to you now lets My love become possible …. Yet for the sake of the many dead souls I must also, in accordance with them, veil My might and power and only ever let it become effective to a degree which does not compel faith …. But I shine forth when it is time, and then I also reveal Myself to those who, however, can still close their eyes if they don’t want to accept the light which is kindled for them through My grace …. For the will of man is free ….

Amen

The gifts of grace flow to you abundantly and therefore you should also work diligently with them, as it is My will. And I will always place My will into your hearts who are willing to serve Me. Then you will act as it is good for your and your fellow human beings’ salvation. But so that you feel My will in you, you must completely hand yourselves over to Me, no will of your own may determine you but you must let Me rule in everything, and then everything will approach you such that you only ever need to act according to your feelings and it will be right. Hence it is a prerequisite for an activity blessed by Me that you always unite with Me in thought, through prayer and activity of love, and that you only start any work after you have established this bond. Every day must begin and end with devotion to Me; you must always approach Me for advice and help, you may not do any work which you have not first commended to Me and My blessing. Only then will the abundant treasure of grace flowing to you become a blessing for you and your fellow human beings in your hands, even if it seems as if you have little success. As soon as I possess you, My servants, completely, I Myself work through you, and My work will truly not be done in vain. The complete surrender of your will to My will is what I must demand of you again and again, for the slightest self-will is an opportunity for My adversary to intrude into your thoughts. Therefore, every day of your life should be a single thought of Me, then everything will also be settled earthly, for your father truly knows how He considers His children, and it is His children who completely surrender to Him. My only ever concern is that you humans attain life and don’t sink back into your dead state through your own fault, I only ever want to keep you alive, and therefore you must always hand yourselves over to the one Who is life Itself from eternity …. Then sinking back into the state of death is impossible, for then the strength of life will constantly flow to you and you will then also use it according to My will. I want to possess you completely …. But you must want the same, you must push towards Me of your own free will. Then I will also always be by your side, I will advise and guide you, and My will will determine your actions. I must be able to work in you unhindered, but you only allow this when your heart and your senses are continuously turned towards Me. You must constantly strive for unity with Me and nothing may hold you back from it …. you will only be able to fulfil your mission on earth when I Myself can speak in and through you. I certainly make a request of you which seems unrealizable to you, yet the closer you come to Me the stronger your desire for a heartfelt bond with Me will become. Initially, however, it will cost you an effort to put everything aside for My sake, to leave the world completely behind and only ever turn your eyes towards Me, but soon your eyes will only long for the light from above, while the world will sink into grey mist, into darkness. Pay attention to My words, seek Me unwaveringly and do not detach yourselves from Me when you have found Me, for only the heartfelt desire for Me will lead you to the aim, to complete unification …. Moreover, your earthly path will also be easier for you, for you will constantly be able to draw strength from Me, and you will be guided by Me on all paths. But the loner will go astray because his own will is still too much influenced by My adversary. But as soon as you fully subordinate your will to Mine I will have the right and the power to influence you, and then you will also be certain of success …. then every thought, every word and every deed will be blessed, for then you will only ever think, want and act as it is My will ….

Amen

Your life is in God’s hand …. you yourselves are powerless if God wants to end it, and you are also completely ignorant when He will end it; you must bow to His will and leave earth, regardless of whether you are mature or still immature in your soul. For God alone knows why He no longer wants to leave you on earth and admit you into the spiritual kingdom …. And if you seriously consider that you are not offered a guarantee for a long life span, if you have to reckon with the fact that today could already be your last day, you should truly live every day consciously …. You should not regard anything as coincidental but know that every event, everything you experience, serves a purpose: to help your soul to mature …. You should be clear about the fact that He, Who thus determines the duration of your life, did not create you as the product of a whim but that He assigned a specific purpose of existence to all His creations and especially to the human being and that you therefore have to fulfil your purpose …. And you should try to fathom this purpose but not consider yourselves such worthless creations that it is irrelevant whether and how long you live and what your state will be when you are called away from earth. For everyone can easily recognize that the human being is an extremely complicated being in his physical constitution and thus also that his creator must be full of wisdom …. just as all other works of creation testify to God’s wisdom. But a wise creator does not let anything come into being which would be futile …. A wise creator pursues a plan with his created works. But he who lives senselessly into the day, although he knows of his earthly transience, has not yet come closer to this thought that he, as a work of creation himself, has a purpose. He, too, has been endowed by a wise creator with the most diverse abilities which should prove to him a thinking and wise creative power, but he does not make use of his abilities, he turns himself into an empty form, he only sees his transient shell but not what this shell contains, but which he would become aware of if he wanted to use his intellect …. if he would even think about himself and his purpose of existence …. And often his life is ended prematurely in order not to make him even more guilty of not having made use of the grace of embodiment on earth. Every thinking person who asks himself the question about his purpose of existence also attains the realization which enables him to live consciously, for God Himself imparts this to him because He does not leave such a serious question unanswered. But if a creature endowed with all gifts does not use them, if he, who is endowed with intellect and reason, lives like an animal and only strives for what is useful for his body …. but cannot close his mind to the realization that his life is in the hands of a powerful God, he misuses the grace of embodiment on earth, his earthly life is pointless and he increases his guilt of sin instead of becoming free from it, as is his destiny. All people can observe the coming into being and passing away in nature and again and again notice that a new life springs forth from the old, past …. And thus they could also conclude the same about themselves, and the death of a person should therefore make everyone think about what will become of him when his life is over …. and a passing away into nothingness would have to be far more unbelievable to them than a continued existence after death, because everything in creation only changes in order to arise in a new form …. With serious thought man can ask many questions and none will remain unanswered …. but first he has to think about it, he has to want to find out, for then he will use the abilities he has been given, as it is God’s will. And precisely the fact that no-one knows the hour of his end, that only One determines it, is suitable to induce the human being to think …. And people are often enough made aware of how suddenly an earthly life can end …. But people have also become accustomed to this, but they cannot be forced to think differently ….

Amen
