Work of the spirit …. community of believers ….
B.D. 6745 from January 24th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Blessed are those who find each other in love for Me, whose will it is to serve Me and their neighbour and who work together for Me and My kingdom. When My spirit descends to earth I distribute gifts which are always intended for all My children who want to accept them. For all people on earth need such gifts, and therefore everything My love offers shall also be passed on, which is imparted to the human being through My spirit, who allows My spirit to work in him. But anyone who loves Me and his neighbour will not want to keep anything for himself alone but will eagerly work to spread what makes him happy himself. And thus a ‘small congregation’ is formed, and I can now address all members of this congregation as soon as I convey My word to earth. And all those who love Me will also recognize the father’s voice when He speaks to them, for if they love Me they belong to My own whom I will always consider according to their desire. And no-one I speak to Myself will shut himself off from his fellow human beings, for the strength of My word which flows to him urges him to pass it on, it impels him into activity, for the strength from Me awakens him to life …. And it is truly a blissful activity to bring Me and My kingdom close to people, to work in My vineyard, to be a faithful servant to Me to whom I will always assign the work as long as he is willing to serve Me. And My blessing will visibly rest on everything. For there is no more urgent work on earth than to create and work for the salvation of fellow human beings’ souls, and where this work is urgently done everything will also be arranged earthly, for I truly care for My own physically and spiritually, for all those who unite in love for Me and their neighbour, who believe in Me and thus belong to the church founded by Me on earth, which unites all My sheep whose shepherd I Myself am. Do not look for this church in one organization but know that all organizations can contain members of My church and that these are always those people who have a living faith in Me in Jesus Christ because they are filled with love for Me and their fellow human beings and who therefore also experience the working of My spirit, which is the characteristic of the ‘church of Christ’ …. Thus I Myself can make contact with them, be it directly or indirectly, but I Myself can always address them and they will always recognize My voice as the voice of the father Whose children they want to be …. For this reason ‘My church’ must and will also spread on earth, I will address people everywhere through My spirit, and small congregations will form everywhere but they will separate themselves from My adversary’s kingdom precisely through love and their living faith, for where these are not present My spirit cannot work, and there is dead land despite organizational activity …. (24.1.1957) Thus I speak of a ‘community of believers’ …. and of a ‘working of the spirit in the congregation’, for it is certain that no spirit-filled person will isolate himself, instead he will feel driven from within to share himself with his fellow human beings and thus a small congregation will form by itself which lives and acts in My spirit, which thus lives out the word I convey to it through My spirit. And the members of this congregation are living christians, thus also living representatives of Jesus Christ who will constantly testify of Him. The redemption through Jesus Christ is also evident in them, for the guilt of sin, which darkens a person’s spiritual state, has been taken from those who now stand in bright realization, whom My spirit could now guide into all truth …. for the certain sign of redemption through Jesus Christ is that My spirit pours into the human being’s heart, which was impossible before Jesus’ death on the cross. But anyone who still walks in darkness of spirit, who is not yet enlightened from within, has not yet taken the path to the cross, even though his mouth confesses Him …. He has not yet completely turned his heart towards Him, the love has not yet been kindled in him which impels him to fully surrender himself to the divine redeemer …. But where there is love for Me and this is expressed in unselfish activity of love for the neighbour, My spirit will also descend, and in the light it radiates people of the same spirit will recognize each other and come together in My name. And then My spirit expresses itself, it addresses all who want to open their hearts and hear Me …. For this reason small congregations will form everywhere, and they will emerge from all schools of thought, for everywhere and in all schools of thought people will be found who are filled with love, who establish heartfelt unity with Me and who awaken the spiritual spark within themselves to life …. My spirit descends upon them and from that moment on it will pass on the ray of love from above and also find followers, people who feel addressed by Me, who let the flow of grace of My love flow into their hearts and who now all work diligently for Me and My kingdom again …. For this reason denominations should never be asked but only the spirit which animates a small congregation should be taken into account, for the ‘working of My spirit’ must be obvious in order to belong to the community of believers which makes up thatöö church I founded on earth. Understand all My words spiritually and seek to gain this understanding by allowing yourselves to be enlightened by My spirit …. which, however, always presupposes a living faith which has come to life through love …. But don’t regard every ‘unusual’ process as ‘working of the spirit’, for My adversary also appears unusually, yet he will not enlighten your spirit but drive you further and further into darkness …. But where there is love and faith, where Jesus Christ Himself can work because love recognizes and acknowledges Him, there adversary activity is no longer possible …. where I Myself work through My spirit ….
Amen

Cosmic processes ….
B.D. 6746 from January 25th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
It should be obvious to all of you what an important period of time you are living in, for the events around you and everywhere on earth are extraordinary, and everyone who pays attention should also become thoughtful and look for an explanation. It is the time of the end which will always reveal more unusual signs, as it is written. For God wants people to pay attention, to become aware of the seriousness of the time …. He wants thoughts of an end to arise in every person, that worldly people will also recognize a climax in world events which can almost no longer be exceeded, and that the prospects of a natural solution will become ever smaller. For only then will they become alarming. And thus the restlessness among people will also increase, the ‘unusual’ often makes them realize their powerlessness, they feel threatened without being able to find a remedy, and they feel too weak to resist …. But only a few people evaluate this last time spiritually, and that alone can give them back their inner peace, for then they know they are under the protection of Him Who commands everything and Who can also direct and turn world events. Therefore it is of utmost importance to keep pointing people to Him, Who becomes ever stranger to them the closer the end is. And God will support such indications by also allowing cosmic events to emerge which are not subject to human influence, so that people will now direct their gaze into other than earthly spheres, so that they will recognize even more clearly their own powerlessness as well as their dependence on a higher power. For whatever unscrupulous plans people try to carry out, whatever misguided thinking causes harm, all this takes a back seat to inevitable cosmic events which no human will can stop or redirect …. Then another change can take place in people’s thinking when they see themselves at the mercy of forces against which they are powerless …. And such an event is about to happen to humanity, and it will only fulfil what was proclaimed long before, what was spiritually seen and therefore repeatedly pointed out by seers and prophets who spoke on God’s behalf in order to announce the signs of the end to people. What you humans …. if you believe it …. in the far future will soon become a present event for you, because one day what has been predicted by God’s will will come true. But no human being will be forced to believe in it, and everything will happen in such a way that the unbelieving human being will find an explanation for it which has nothing to do with divine intervention, with predestination or spiritual explanations …. Man can recognize a God in these events but he is not forced to do so …. But then the last means has also been used which could still cause a person to change his thinking, and anyone who persists in his rejection is evil …. For his fate is the new banishment in the creations of the new earth …. It is a tremendous event which will still affect you humans before the end, it is an event the extent of which you cannot overlook because a process is taking place in the cosmos which has not yet been experienced by people on this earth …. And it will take many people from this earth, and those who remain behind will now have to get used to completely different circumstances but will also be able to do so as soon as they believe and request strength from God. And no-one will be able to insure himself against this disaster beforehand unless he fully believes and places himself under God’s protection, which will then also be granted to him so that everything will be for his good, whatever happens. Again and again this event is announced to you, again and again you humans are informed of an intervention by God which will manifest itself through a natural event of the greatest magnitude …. But you humans don’t want to believe it and therefore it will also surprise you unprepared, yet it has been planned since the beginning, for it initiates the last phase on this earth, for the end will follow this event in a short time ….
Amen

Fertilizing water of life …. life potion ….
B.D. 6747 from January 26th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Again and again pass on what you receive from Me. It is the water of life which has to flow around all people, it is the well from which all people should draw in order to gain the inner and outer strength they need in earthly life. The spiritual world is constantly in contact with the earthly world, again and again strength flows to you humans from the original source of strength, but it cannot be directly conveyed to every person if they have not yet prepared themselves as a suitable vessel …. Yet My word can be directly transferred to a person who then also has the task of passing it on to his fellow human beings. And again and again I give this task to My own, to those who can hear Me Myself, so that they also remember those who would remain without strength if My word were withheld from them …. The flow of My love shall be directed everywhere where there is still barren land, where My water of love has to flow for the time being in order to fertilize it. More and more previously barren land can be transformed into fertile soil, and ever richer harvests I will be able to bring into the barns in the end …. More and more people will turn to Me of their own accord once they have drunk from the water of life and thereby received strength to live on earth in accordance with My will. And the spring will not run dry, but My love and wisdom will guide the flow of grace to where it is desired, where hungry and thirsty souls long for refreshment, for I truly know who desires to be fed and watered by Me. And anyone who has once feasted himself on what I offered him will also draw his fellow human beings’ attention to it and point them to the source of life, and he himself will offer him the cup in order to offer him a trial drink. But he will have little success with those who have already accepted food and drink elsewhere, and then he will only be able to advise them to abstain from this food and to go to the right source …. to draw from the water that lets him arise to life, which he will now never lose …. Only a few people seek out this source, they shy away from the path which leads to it because it requires self-conquest and a certain amount of soul work which only a few want to do but who can then also receive the most beautiful thing: to be addressed by Me Myself, to be directly offered the potion of life from My hands which compensates them for all previous work and overcoming. And because only a few walk this direct path to Me but every person needs the living water, therefore the former go to meet them and convey the flow of life to them …. My word recipients pass on this word of Mine, and thus also those can come into possession of these gifts of grace who merely don’t reject what is offered to them. Then they, too, will feel the strength of My word if they are willing to listen to it, and they, too, will be awakened to life because My word has this life-awakening effect if it does not meet with resistance. My gifts are too precious to be allowed to remain unused …. and no recipient of My word will be satisfied with merely receiving it himself, for the strength which flows to him also wants to express itself, and it will always spur him on to diligent work for Me and My kingdom. The human being will recognize his task in life in the spreading of My word and find happiness in letting his fellow human beings participate in what My love and grace bestows upon him …. And only in this way is it possible to convey the pure truth to people, which alone leads to life. And therefore I call upon all My children on earth, who hear the father’s language, to pass on the spiritual knowledge which makes them happy …. Again and again I commission them to go out into the world to proclaim My gospel …. For the flow of grace, which is particularly strong in the end times, shall be directed everywhere where there is still barren, unfruitful land …. it shall pour into all human hearts so that they will come alive, so that the strength of My word will awaken all to life who are still dead in spirit ….
Amen

Transformation of will and being …. help is Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6748 from January 27th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
The entire fulfilment of earthly life lies in the striving to come closer to God, for then the will has also turned towards Him and the return to God is therefore already accomplished in terms of the will. But the former turning away from God had also changed the being and turned it into an imperfect creature, and just as the will has to change to God, so the being has to change again to perfection before it can unite with God again in order to be able to create and work with Him and in His will in the spiritual kingdom. Thus the human being must strive for this perfection during his earthly change, and this means that he must consciously work on himself in order to remove all characteristics of imperfection from himself, in order to turn himself into the opposite: in order to discard all vices, faults and errors and change them into virtues. This is a difficult beginning, and it requires strength. But God turns the strength to every person who strives towards Himself …. And as soon as the will for God awakens in the heart, God’s love takes hold of him and now constantly provides him with strength to come closer to his aim …. But how few have this serious will …. for it is not enough for the mouth to express it that the human being desires to God, but this desire must arise in the heart and completely without external pressure lead to the bond with God …. The human being’s will is demanded by God, and this is free. For this reason, however, every person is blessed and certain of his ascent if this will towards God moves him, and he need never ever fear sinking into the depth again which he has left. And again you will now understand that the will to God can never be the will to the world, for it is a matter of two opposites, there are two aims which can be man’s striving, God or the world, but never God and the world …. Anyone who earnestly desires God will no longer be tempted by the world, but anyone who desires the world and its goods is still so far from God in his inner being, the depth has not yet released him and he is in great danger of sinking to the depth again. Nor will he ever work on himself in order to change his nature, instead he will regard his nature as right and good, he will know how to assert himself everywhere and thereby also disregard love, for his nature is only dominated by all those urges which prove his opposition to God. And even if he has great physical strength at his disposal, even if he will be able to master earthly life, he will not be able to accomplish the work on his soul because the strength from God has to flow to him for this, but it cannot flow to him as long as his will is still turned away from God. And his will cannot detach itself from the world if it is not granted help …. But the help is Jesus Christ, the help is the treasure of grace which Jesus Christ acquired for you humans on the cross in order to strengthen your weak will. And anyone who turns to Jesus Christ and appeals to Him for strength also acknowledges God Himself in Jesus, and this is like the devotion of the will to God, which is also always rewarded with the influx of strength. But the world does not release a soul so easily, and a worldly person will also only rarely take the path to Jesus Christ …. And therefore he can only be instructed by the word of God to mentally occupy himself with Jesus Christ and His act of salvation. A worldly person can only be won through God’s word, for this is strength itself as soon as it is not rejected. For God Himself addresses every human being in order to motivate him to give Him his will, to abandon opposition to Him and to fully surrender to Him …. But the will always has to be ready to hear God’s address beforehand, for this is the human being’s decision on earth that he gives up his resistance, that he acknowledges God and now surrenders himself to Him …. And God will seize him and lift him up to Himself, he will return to his father’s house which he once voluntarily left ….
Amen

Self-love – neighbourly love ….
B.D. 6749 from January 28th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
A small measure of self-love is permitted to you because it is necessary for self-preservation and because without this measure you humans would not work on yourselves but would also be completely indifferent towards your spiritual destiny. But this measure of self-love should only be small because only then can love for Me and for the neighbour be properly kindled, or else: A proper love for the neighbour and thus also for Me will always push self-love back to the minimum measure. A being which has completely become love is now also completely absorbed in caring for the beings which are still unhappy, it will only ever want to help and make happy and no longer think of its own happiness but nevertheless be indescribably happy itself because it has become love. But as long as the human being stays on earth he also has to struggle with self-love, and yet he is allowed to have it to a small extent, otherwise I would not have spoken the words: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself ….” Man has the right to take care of himself, but he must never forget his neighbour about it ….. And if the measure of self-love is still great, then he must also show the same measure towards his neighbour, thus he must perform many works of neighbourly love, and thereby his soul will also attain maturity …. Therefore, greater demands can also be placed on life if suffering fellow human beings are also considered, thus a life of well-being, as it were, obliges the human being to increase his activity of love if he wants to comply with My commandment …. if he also wants to mature spiritually despite physical well-being. You shall love your neighbour as yourself …. Thus I Myself have by no means curtailed the pleasures of earthly life, for as long as you give the same to your fellow human being which seems desirable to you, you are justified before Me, but with increasing maturity of soul these desires in you will always decrease, yet love for your neighbour will increase. For this is the effect of a right love for your neighbour, that it then fills your whole heart and desires less and less for itself …. This is why I was able to apply this standard when I gave you the commandment of neighbourly love, because love then finds the right measure itself, but first a stimulus had to be given which also grants the human being himself what he owes his neighbour. Anyone who has already ignited the spark of love within himself no longer needs this stimulation, for now another urges him …. now I Myself can determine him from within to works of neighbourly love, for I, as the eternal love, am in every person who has kindled love within himself …. Hence it is always a matter of the human being deciding to work with love, that he first gives the same measure to his fellow human being which he also desires for himself, because at the beginning of embodiment self-love is still strong and a limit is now set for this self-love by My commandment of love, but the human being can determine this himself …. Therefore you can also justifiably make demands on life, but just as you also observe My commandment which places love for your fellow human being first and foremost on your heart. But this is why people mostly fail, for they don’t observe the measure, their self-love is far stronger than their love for their neighbour, and thus they don’t feel love for Me either, for My adversary controls them as long as My commandment leaves them unimpressed ….
Amen

God's boundless love …. Igniting love in the human being ….
B.D. 6750 from January 31th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
My love for you is boundless …. You, however, can only grasp limited things; you would be incapable of enduring My love were you to receive its full radiance, and so I will only ever let My ray of love shine upon you to the degree which your own degree of love allows for …. My love is boundless …. Yet although you hear these Words you are not capable of understanding what they mean. But you can deduce from these Words that I will not abandon you, that I will not stop until I have won you over for Me, even if it takes an infinitely long time. The measure you use will always be limited, because your intellectual capacity is limited as long as you are still imperfect. But I …. being supremely perfect …. will never curb My love, wisdom and power if I thereby attain My goal of your becoming My children who can subsequently create and work with Me in all perfection. But My wisdom also realises that an unlimited degree of love and power is detrimental to you and therefore both My love as well as My power exert restraint. But you can determine the measure yourselves, for as soon as you ask you will receive, and if you ask for much you will also receive much and you can also receive without limitation …. as soon as your faith and your love for Me allows for it …. Can you now understand that you are also capable of achieving seemingly unnatural feats if you request My love and power for them? I give to you what you desire if it concerns spiritual possessions, things which prove to you My infinite love …. if it concerns light and strength which you humans lack but which are at your disposal without limitation …. And the strength of your faith, the depth of your love for Me, will then shape you such that an abundance of strength of love will no longer harm you but will constantly make you more perfect, thus also more receptive. Thus you now know that I Am willing to give to you without limitation but that I cannot do so until you yourselves allow for it through your living faith …. For this reason you cannot do anything better than to awaken your faith to life and to approach Me with an open heart which may then receive without end. Yet the precondition for this is love, and to ignite it in you and to constantly increase its radiance is the human being’s real task on earth which, however, can certainly be achieved by every person if it is his will. I cannot release any person from this precondition because without love the human being will remain imperfect, since love itself is the strength which enables his every achievement. The human being need only strive towards his fundamental nature of love again, because he originated from the Eternal Love. Consequently, only a person who shapes himself into love can reach his goal on earth …. He can attain it because My love incessantly provides him with opportunities of kind-hearted activity, and because a tiny spark of My strength of love lays dormant in him, thus he was not created to be entirely insensitive but can experience love if he does not deliberately stifle this spark in him …. if he does not resist every warm feeling arising in him. Each person will always be guided by Me such that he will come across plenty of situations in everyday life which appeal to his heart, in which he can live up to this impulse of love and thereby kindle the tiny indwelling spark. The benefit of kind-hearted activity for his fellow human being will also be felt by the latter and only totally hardened people will remain unimpressed but can change at any time, since the love of a fellow human being is capable of achieving this. Only love is true life, and for as long as a person lacks love, he is dead. My love, however, is boundless and thus will not rest until it can bestow life upon you. My love will always illuminate you and try to enter your heart, but it will only ever take effect to the extent you allow for yourselves. Love does not compel, it is something infinitely joyful as soon as it shines on an equally loving heart. Then the Eternal Love will unite Itself with you, I will permeate My living creation which no longer offers resistance to Me and it will have entered its original state again, it will have become love once more. And so the divine being, having attained this divinity voluntarily, will have become My child which I can permeate with My boundless love, which can create and work with Me in My will and which will live forever in blissful happiness ….
Amen

Every human being knows about the divine commandments of love ….
B.D. 6751 from February 1st 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Everyone knows the commandments of love for God and his neighbour, for they are written into every person’s heart insofar as everyone feels in himself how a work of love affects him, how he himself will always be happy when he is lovingly thought of by Me Myself or by his neighbour. And thus he will also be able to conclude that his neighbour has the same claim to love and that I Myself also demand love from the person who owes his existence to Me. However, every spark of love can already be stifled in the human being, he can have erected an obstacle in his love for himself for the activity of love for his neighbour. But then he knows about My commandments of love through My word which is preached in the world and which contains My teaching of love. And he can also want to ignore this, for he will never be forced to work with love …. But then states of adversity occur which affect him himself or also his fellow human beings …. And again the commandment of love will be placed before him, he himself will desire love when he is affected by adversity, or he will so obviously be stimulated to practice love on his neighbour through the adversity which has affected him. No human being can say that My commandments of love have remained alien to him …. The fact that there is so little love amongst people is proof of the power My adversary has gained over people …. And this, in turn, proves that the divine redeemer Jesus Christ is not respected, that He is not acknowledged and that He therefore cannot come to people’s aid who are at the mercy of My adversary’s power and will also succumb to it if they don’t turn to Jesus Christ. He certainly has great power but you humans give this power to him yourselves, for he cannot force you to belong to him. But you yourselves have free will and can just as well use it in another direction …. you can entrust yourselves to Jesus Christ and present your weakness to Him, you can also confess to Him that your selfish love is still strong and that you would like to become free of it, and He would certainly help you and give you a strengthening of will …. But you believe too little, for this, too, is My adversary’s influence to undermine your faith in Me in Jesus Christ. You are certainly exposed to his influence and yet it is your own free will whether you allow yourselves to be determined by him or whether you turn to Me …. whether you practice love for your fellow human being and thereby prove your love to Me or only ever consider your own ego and thereby completely hand yourselves over to the one who is devoid of all love. As a human being you have already regained a certain maturity, and this maturity also ensures your free power of decision …. You cannot be forced by My adversary, only tempted …. I don’t force you either, but I counter his temptations with many graces which you can also use …. but the decision is up to you. And there is no person who could not make the right decision …. for I placed the spark of love in every person’s heart, which is My share, i.e., every person can feel love within himself but he has to let himself be touched and must not offer any resistance. And My commandments of love will be presented to him again and again until the end of his life, for even if people don’t pay attention to them, even if they fail to fulfil the commandments, they will always hear about them, and they will remain unknown to no human being, but they can only ever be taught but never compulsorily demanded that the human being fulfils them. The freedom of will is decisive as to whether the human being professes Me in Jesus, whether he lives his life in accordance with the divine teaching of love and thus becomes free from his tormentor …. He will not be forced but in every way he will be granted assistance from Me, in every way he will be stimulated into activity of love, because only love can redeem him ….
Amen

The right path …. the right guide ….
B.D. 6752 from February 2nd 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Enter all the path that leads to the heights …. It is narrow and impassable but the obstacles can be overcome if you entrust yourselves to a good guide Who knows the path, Who will lead you past all obstacles and cliffs with a sure hand and Who also chooses the shortest path to the aim. Do not let yourselves be frightened by the efforts and strains that lie ahead of you, for your guide will also give you strength for this, and you will overcome everything effortlessly and also no longer feel the path to be as steep and impassable as you initially believed. And if you look back, it will seem like child’s play to you and you will also call out to your fellow human beings to choose that path which brought you to the aim. But the aim is the gate into the kingdom of light which is open for you who have walked this narrow path upwards. And thus you must regard all difficulties in your earthly life, all strokes of fate, adversity, illness and failures as obstacles which again and again obstruct your path to ascent and which you must bravely overcome, but not flee from them and stray onto side paths which seem easier to you …. For these lead far away from the right aim. Therefore, accept everything that earthly life offers you in terms of difficulties …. Ask for strength, turn to the right guide and be certain that you will overcome them, because the guide will help you and His help is always a guarantee to reach the aim. A level path does not require any effort, but you will also constantly remain on the same level …. But you shall reach the height. Your bliss is at the top, for you are still at the bottom, where the kingdom of the wretched is, from which you should ascend in order to be able to be blissful …. Hence you also have to use strength and therefore entrust yourselves to a powerful guide, and once He has taken over the leadership you will, as it were, be carried upwards, for your will to reach the top is already the strength which will accomplish your ascent. For this reason a laborious, arduous earthly life should always be proof to you that you are on the path to ascent …. Whereas you run the risk of having deviated if life does not demand any effort from you. You must not only think of physical exertion but rather of that strength which requires you to overcome suffering and hardship of all kinds, for you must become still in all the trials you face, and this ‘becoming still’, this ‘bearing in submission’ also requires strength which you may draw from your faith and love …. To bear suffering patiently is also to overcome the obstacles on the path upwards by humbly taking upon yourselves what is good for the salvation of your soul, which now becomes increasingly lighter when it can cast off its dross and now the ascent also becomes increasingly easier for it. There is only one thing for you: to entrust yourselves to the divine leader Jesus Christ with complete faith that He will take over the guidance and that you will now follow Him without hesitation, no matter how and where He leads you …. And if it is over suffering and adversity, then He also knows that this path will bring you success, that it is the right and shortest path for you, and then you must be willing to take it without contradiction and you will not regret having entrusted yourselves to His guidance. Only ask for strength to be able to cope with all resistance, but don’t ask for averting this …. For your guide is always at your side, and He sustains you and gives you assistance wherever obstacles stand in your way …. And every overcoming of such obstacles signifies the safe distance from the abyss, and the ascent will become ever easier for you the more firmly you trust in Jesus Christ’s help that He will open the gate for you which leads into the kingdom of light ….

Trial of faith ….
B.D. 6753 from February 3rd 1957, taken from Book No. 72
God certainly hides Himself at times but He does not abandon you …. He only wants you to seek Him, that you don’t become indifferent towards Him and that He can reveal Himself to you again and again when you are in need. Even the believer sometimes needs an impulse to strive more actively because the world approaches him again and again and wants to take him captive. You are in the midst of the world and will therefore always be exposed to temptations but you should resist them. And the strength to resist can only come to you from God Himself, and this requires a constant bond with Him which, however, is often in danger when the world pushes itself forward particularly strongly and demands its tribute. And then it happens that an earthly adversity approaches Him which shall strengthen this bond with God …. But it also often happens that God now keeps Himself hidden, that the adversity does not end immediately, that it sometimes becomes even stronger and thus the human being’s faith is put to a hard test …. But then it must also prove itself …. The human being must not slacken in prayer and his faith must be unshakeable that he will be helped when the time comes, that God hears his call and His forgiveness is not unfounded. And his faith will not be put to shame, for the closer the bond will be and God will reveal Himself in His love and power. People could truly achieve everything with Him if they had this faith and did not slacken in prayer in every adversity. And the fact that God sometimes keeps Himself hidden should not shake such faith or make it waver, instead, the human being should hold on to his faith, he should unwaveringly trust in God that help will come at the right time, but that God Himself will recognize and determine it. God’s adversary is obviously active in the last days, and his activity often causes a person’s faith to waver if it is not very strong. But especially in the end time God reveals Himself in His love and power in order to invalidate the work of His adversary. And therefore faith need not be in danger, for God also demonstrates His presence to people in the most obvious way, yet only to those who call upon Him for help. The weak believer but willing person will very quickly feel the help in adversity so that his faith will strengthen …. Yet if God forgives, if He is not immediately willing to help, then faith should be all the stronger, and the person should not slacken in prayer, for then he himself will become ever more convinced in his faith because he will nevertheless achieve what he asks for …. For God does not disappoint those who trust in Him, and every person should adhere to this in times of need …. As true as God is, Who is your creator and father from eternity, so true also does He hear you who call upon Him as your father …. But He determines the time, and you should submit yourselves to His will, then you will not wait in vain, because a believing child achieves everything from the father which is of use to it ….
Amen

Exceeding the power of the opponent ….
B.D. 6754 from February 4th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
God’s adversary has succeeded in creating mental confusion amongst people, that truth has been suppressed everywhere and replaced with erroneous spiritual knowledge and that people no longer know where to look for and find the truth. For everyone believes to possess it, everyone considers his own thoughts to be right and good, and yet most people are far removed from the truth. But the battle rages between light and darkness, and in the last days the darkness is so dense that hardly a ray of light can penetrate it …. But the adversary’s activity is so obvious that an end will soon be put to his work, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture …. At the end of an earth period his power is always great because people themselves grant it to him, but then he abuses his power by exceeding the limits of what is granted to him by God …. He certainly has the power to influence people’s will, to tempt them and urge them to make the decision he desires …. But he goes further in his activity …. He strikes people with complete blindness and deprives them of the possibility of also recognizing another lord …. He undermines all knowledge about this lord by trying to present God in Jesus Christ to them as a phantom, so that a choice, a free decision for God is almost impossible. That is why the hour has come when his further activity will be stopped, when he himself will be put in chains and he will no longer be able to oppress people on this earth. But God also seeks to convey to misguided people in every way the knowledge which His adversary wants to withhold from them …. Again and again the pure truth is offered to them but in the prevailing darkness it is only recognized with difficulty. But in order to make it possible for Him to recognize it God also works extraordinarily in the last days …. He allows things to happen which go beyond human abilities and draws attention to Himself as the author of these events …. He sends preachers amongst people who proclaim Himself and His power and glory on His behalf and do unusual things as a sign …. He evidently shows people the power of faith in His name, and people could also come to faith and pure truth as a result …. Yet even over such unusual expressions of the divine spirit veils of obscurity are let down on the part of those who should give people light but place themselves at the disposal of God’s adversary and extinguish the light which shines again and again. It is difficult to recognize the truth in the last times, but it is possible if the desire for truth prevails. For God’s flow of grace flows uninterruptedly, and even if His adversary tries everything to stop it …. the power of God is greater, and the light of truth exposes His adversary. But the battle between light and darkness rages until the end of this earth. And those who hand themselves over to God’s adversary will sink into darkness …. but those who desire light God reveals Himself to, and they will never fall prey to the adversary because the eternal light Himself illuminates them and gives them strength to withstand until the end ….
Amen

Companion Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6755 from February 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
You must walk all paths together with your lord and saviour Jesus Christ …. Never exclude Him from your thoughts and only ever remember His infinite love, which He demonstrated for you with His death on the cross …. Then you will certainly walk the path upwards, even if it seems arduous to you. For then He will walk beside you and His presence will prevent every misstep and every deviation from the right path. And then you will also always follow His instructions, for you will hear what He tells you or have a feeling for what He asks of you. As soon as you intimately join Him, Who has redeemed you from sin and death, as soon as your gaze is constantly directed towards Him, Who has concluded His divine life of love on earth with bitterest suffering and death on the cross, you yourselves belong to those for whom He shed His blood, and this secures you the forgiveness of your sins, the release from all guilt and the entrance into eternal life. You humans on earth are not yet aware of what this act of salvation means, but you participate in what He acquired for you if only you acknowledge Him and completely hand yourselves over to Him, if you believe in Him and thus also keep His commandments …. the signpost to Him and to eternal life. But an earthly life without Jesus Christ is a futile existence, it is a path which you take alone and which eternally does not lead to the aim. And you, who can nevertheless derive infinite blessings from a right earthly way of life, a way of life with Him, should be warned of this …. A human being has walked the earth in Whom God Himself took abode, a human being Who deified Himself through love and became a shell for the eternal deity, Who now accomplished the act of salvation for you in this shell: to make atonement for the immense guilt of sin of the former turning away from God. All of you should take part in this, you should walk with Him on the way to the cross. You should patiently take on suffering and hardship of every kind and bear the cross that has been laid upon you. And all of you should let yourselves be washed clean by His blood, which was shed for you …. so willingly place yourselves under the cross of Christ and prove before all the world that you cling to Him, that nothing is able to detach you from Him …. You should pronounce His holy name in all intimacy and lay all your sins, your hardships and sufferings at His feet, that He may take them from you, that He may redeem your guilt and you may become free from it. And Jesus Christ will reward you for your devotion, He will never leave you, He will take the burden of the cross from you or help you carry it, He will lay His healing hand on your wounds and His flow of grace will be transferred to your weakened souls and bodies. He will heal you spiritually and earthly, for He has taken all infirmities upon Himself and atoned for them for the one who believes. And His promise will truly come true that you will not taste death when He calls you to Himself into His kingdom. But He will also prove His power and glory to you as long as you still live on earth, for He wants to reveal Himself to you, but He can only do so if your faith is strong and unshakeable …. Walk your earthly path with Jesus Christ and know that you will then walk the right way and that you need no longer fear any danger, whether spiritual or earthly, for this path is bounded by beings of light who will not tolerate you being endangered …. all of whom will help you in the will of God, of the s3aviour Jesus Christ …. and can also help you because you have given yourselves to Him and also stand up for Him and His name before the world. Jesus Christ is the saviour and redeemer of humanity, He accomplished the work of redemption for all of you …. But only those who acknowledge Him can enter into the blessing of the act of salvation. And therefore you should hand yourselves over to Him in faith and love, you should commend yourselves to Him and His grace, and He will safely guide you to the aim ….
Amen

Light and power conduction …. spiritual guides ….
B.D. 6756 from February 6th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Every spiritual thought is an emanation from the spiritual kingdom …. It hits the human being’s mind or heart and, depending on his soul’s maturity, it is taken up and the connection between earth and the spiritual kingdom is now also established. And inexhaustible can now be the source from which the human being can now drink for his salvation. The source of illuminated spiritual knowledge, thus of thoughts which make the human soul happy, is and always will be only God, but He constantly guides His rays of light into the universe and thus radiates His light through the spiritual world, which serves Him by constantly receiving and forwarding it, so that everything which makes itself ready to receive light and strength will be provided with light and strength. And the world of light, the beings of light, see through everything, and they also always brightly and clearly recognize where they can direct the light, where the beings in the beyond are ready to receive and where people desire light and strength …. And therefore no human being on earth will go empty-handed, no human being’s desire will remain unfulfilled …. Whoever desires spiritual food will receive it, and he will not need to starve …. Only the desire to learn something from God and the truth is necessary, and then the willingness to also accept the answers, for these can then only come from God Who knows about every desire and Who is exceedingly happy to fulfil such a desire. The ways He chooses and the way He answers are often so wonderful and testify to Himself …. But no one expects the answer in vain, only he must also allow himself to be guided and not offer any resistance. In addition, however, every human being has his spiritual guide who is only ever concerned about the human being’s perfection on earth. This guide also knows about the willingness, he knows about the degree of maturity of the human being entrusted to him for care on his earthly path, and this guide will use every opportunity to integrate the human being into the process of diverting strength and light. He is guaranteed to work on the human being in accordance with God’s will and open up all sources for the thirsty souls to refresh themselves. And therefore the human being should completely hand himself over to God and entrust himself to Him, and He will truly administer food and drink to him directly or through His messengers of light, who are one with Him, who create and work in His will, who receive light and strength directly from Him and supply countless beings with it again and who let their spiritual emanation flow to every soul which willingly opens itself to receive strength. In earthly life the concept of receiving light and strength is incomprehensible to people as long as they only live a purely worldly life. But as soon as they allow spiritual thoughts to arise in them, they understand what they are lacking. They recognize their lack of freedom and their weakness and thus desire light and strength. And the way their desire is fulfilled is proof that their spiritual thoughts have been taken into account in a world which can provide information because it is in contact with the source of light and strength …. The spiritual desirer will receive unlimitedly but from a kingdom which, again, can only be entered spiritually …. But what he receives is a good which will no longer be lost to him, even if he loses his earthly life. He himself now likewise becomes a power station from where it can be passed on again, because a constant exchange of light and power must take place where life is to be …. And only the human being can awaken to life when light and strength flow to him, which he desires and receives in free will. And God’s will is that every human being attains life. Therefore no human being is denied the flow of light and strength …. He only needs to take hold of the thoughts which circle around him from that world and thus open himself through them …. And he will awaken to life and never lose this life again ….
Amen

Predestination? …. Different amount of blessings?
B.D. 6757 from February 7th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
No one should say or believe that they did not receive the same blessings as some of their fellow human beings and that therefore their ascent on earth was not made as easy for them as that of other people …. This is a misguided point of view which is completely unwarranted. You have to know that you are within the midst of an emission of grace and that you can all immerse yourselves within it to experience the effect of grace at its full strength …. but that it is your free will to either accept this effect or to withdraw from the flow of divine love and hence remain untouched …. And first of all you also have to be informed about the fact that the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ died on the cross for all human beings, that by dying He acquired a treasure of grace for all people, thus all people can share the blessings of the act of Salvation if they believe in Him …. And one of the blessings of the act of Salvation is the strengthening of the will …. Thus anyone who believes in the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and asks Him for salvation will receive this …. And now the strengthened will is also using the blessings which are flowing towards it ….
But even he who does not believe yet will receive unlimited blessings because God’s love is infinite, and he too is meant to find the path to Jesus Christ. But the will, which is still inherently weak, will rarely allow itself to be touched by the emission of grace; the people will shut themselves off from the gifts of grace, and thus the latter will not be able to have any effect because any kind of resistance will negate it. But neither can the person claim that it is impossible for him to make full use of a gift of grace. Because he can direct his will as he likes …. i.e. towards God or …. if he cannot recognise Him as yet …. towards good. Then he will already be seized by God’s love and guided a step forward. And he will also soon learn to recognise that he, in a manner of speaking and if he offers no inner resistance, will be carried …. guided, directed, towards these blessings. Time and again emissions of grace will flow to him, and if he accepts their effect he will very soon realise that he too is remarkably blessed, but that his own will has allowed this to happen ….
Thus unlimited blessings are at the disposal of all you humans, because God’s emission of grace will never cease …. But it is also up to you as to how and whether you accept and use the effect of the blessings. God’s love is for all His living creations, and particularly those who are still in opposition to Him require many blessings, but the blessings will never have a compelling effect. Freedom of will, therefore, also explains the difference between people on earth, but not the variably strong influx of blessings. And the point of view that God has already determined which people will be blessed or condemned is even more misguided ….
This doctrine questions God’s love, it invalidates Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation, which was accomplished for all human beings, and it would also completely undermine people’s aspiration for perfection …. But with just a little good will and faith this misguided teaching can be recognised as such because ‘God’s essence’, the utmost ‘perfection’ will appear to be questionable. It would also call the human being’s free will into question and therefore the whole purpose of earthly life …. which is entirely due to the free decision of the will. To make this decision of will and the being’s return to blissfulness possible, God’s emission of grace will constantly flow to people …. Therefore every human being can achieve bliss by merely accepting and utilizing the blessings. Although the blessings are indeed an undeserved gift for people, because they once had deliberately separated themselves from God’s love and with this sin had discarded everything they owned as God’s living creation, but God’s love is greater and therefore it offers the fallen living creations time and again the means which enable them to return to Him …. It distributes its blessings without restrictions …. But these blessings will never effect or restrict the freedom of will …. Nevertheless, the maturing of human beings’ on earth is always subject to the acceptance of these blessings but not dependent on the amount which flows to each and every human being ….

Battle of faith – Antichrist ….
B.D. 6758 from February 10th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
The closer the end, the fiercer will the battle between light and darkness rage …. However, you will not experience the full horror of the battle until it turns against My followers, when it is planned to banish the faith in Me in Jesus Christ, when the act of Salvation will become My adversary’s target …. when people will be demanded to openly confess their faith and brutally forced to renounce it. Only then will the hardship and adversity start, the time I have promised My Own I will shorten …. And then My adversary’s fury will become obvious, for people will lose their inhibitions, nothing will hold them back because they will be incited by Satan and shall completely submit to his will. Let it be said that there is not much time until this battle of faith, but that it will be preceded by an immense crisis on earth which, however, will come from a different source …. It is My will that it shall fall upon people so that they can already prove or even strengthen their faith. Precisely this crisis, which will be inflicted on humanity through a natural disaster of huge proportions, will be used by many people as a reason to already take action against the faith, because now more than ever they will doubt a God and Creator Who Himself destroys what He has created. However, anyone who knows the truth will also have a correct explanation for everything, and then he can inform his fellow human beings of this truth too. Then the ensuing battle of faith can even result in a strong faith in them, which subsequently will withstand all the threats the believers will be exposed to.
However, the fact that most people will no longer have a living faith is My adversary’s doing, who therefore will not cease to work against Me and the truth, and he will be far more successful with people than the representatives of the pure truth, the true representatives of Christ’s teaching …. For they rarely will be believed, but My adversary can offer people what he wants …. it will be accepted. And that is why it will already have to be clarified in advance, everyone will have to openly and freely declare whether they are for or against Me …. Everyone will have to make this decision within himself during the coming time of need which comes upon earth due to My will, for when I speak through the forces of nature everyone will have to choose: to call upon Me for help or to entirely isolate himself from Me …. which is the same as turning to My adversary …. Following this, however, the decision has to be taken again publicly: when it will be demanded of you humans in the last battle of faith on this earth to testify of Me in Jesus Christ or to deny Me …. But then you, who were instructed in the truth by Me Myself, will know that the end has come …. Then you will know that I will shorten the days for the sake of My Own, that I will come Myself to help them and release them from their suffering …. that I will gather them from this earth and take them to a place of peace, before I carry out the work of destruction, which will mean the end of all created beings on this earth ….
If only you would believe what I have announced to you time and again …. the conditions on earth should prove My adversary’s rage to you already, because he knows that he is running out of time. And the fact that he is raging and the earth is populated by his own kind can be recognised by all of you and should make you think. Every day is still a blessing for people, for even the most depraved person still has the opportunity to change and gain faith in Me before the end …. because I will try everything to still snatch souls from My adversary before the end. And anyone with faith in Me will be blessed, but the unbelievers will have to share the fate of him whom they followed voluntarily …. And you will not go short, even if everything you need to live will be taken away from you …. As soon as you believe that I Myself will take care of you, who are persecuted for My name’s sake, My adversary’s measures need not frighten you …. For what they take away from you, you will receive from Me again, although in a different form, but you will not need to starve for I Myself will satisfy your hunger …. For ‘behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them ….
Remember these Words, remember that He Who created everything will truly also be able to maintain what He has created …. and that He will surely do so when His Own suffer adversity. But the time will come when people will try to force you with most brutal measures to forsake your faith …. and anyone of weak faith will not be able to endure these measures …. Severe tests of faith will be imposed on you, but I want to prepare you precisely for this time, then you will be able to be a shining example to your fellow human beings, you will be able to demonstrate to them what a firm faith can accomplish: that you live despite the fact that everything you need to live will have been taken away from you ….
Seek always only the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything else will be added to you. And this promise will then be visibly fulfilled on My Own, on those who stand up for Me and My name before the world, who do not fear the earthly power because they feel safe under My protection. And only then will it become evident who has a living faith, and there will only be few. Then the structures which were built on sand …. which were not built on the rock of faith on which I built My church, will collapse too …. It will be a difficult time which no-one would be able to survive had I not conveyed the truth to earth in advance, which is an explanation of everything and which alone can result in a strong faith …. But error will not give anyone the strength to persevere, and only where there is love, can strength of faith also be found.
An extraordinary person will offer himself as a visible cover to My adversary, and this person will then instigate the last conflict on earth. Pay attention to this and you will know that the hour of the end is very near …. But also pay attention to My messengers from above who will appear at the same time in order to guide you with their light, which you should follow …. Pay attention to all of those who spiritedly announce My Word and join them, so that the small flock will stay together, so that they can constantly get light and their faith can steadily grow stronger …. But to all these I promise My protection, My Fatherly care and My blessing ….
They need not fear to fall prey to this brutal power, for I Myself will come to get them as soon as My adversary goes too far, as soon as even My Own are threatened by grave danger …. For this reason I will shorten the days, so that My Own will be able to endure and not weaken in view of the measures of persecution. But since I can still see a possibility to save individual souls I will also hold My hands protectively over those who represent Me before the world, so that the former can gain strength from them, so that a Power will be recognised which is stronger than earthly power …. And therefore I will also take extraordinary care of My Own, and despite adverse measures they will survive physically and spiritually …. And all this will happen soon …. What you cannot suspect today will happen then, but that is why already I draw your attention to it, and you, who are taught by Me, also know why it will happen ….
The spiritual hardship on earth is evident to you as well, and by the signs of the time you will be able to identify the time on the world’s clock …. But once this battle of faith flares up you need only expect a very short time, because everything will take place especially fast …. For the man chosen by My adversary as cover will not have a long life-span, and his regime on earth will not last long. He will be recognisable by his supernatural abilities, for he will be exceptionally endowed by My adversary, and that is why he will work for him and his plans. And even if the whole world pays homage to him, you will recognise and see through him.
But then you will have to be very careful and should not deliberately endanger yourselves due to excessive zeal …. Then you will have to be as cunning as serpents and as gentle as doves …. But when the decision is demanded of you, then you must stand your ground and firmly trust in Me and My help …. for no matter how powerful people are, they cannot match My might and a wisp of breath from Me would suffice to destroy them …. And thus I will also call a stop to it when the hour has come. I will bring those to Me who are in utmost earthly distress but place the oppressors themselves into chains, for the time will be up, a period of redemption will come to an end and a new era will start so that the deliverance of all spirits can continue ….
Amen

Justification of the destructions …. earthly and spiritual transformation ….
B.D. 6759 from February 11th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
The spiritual turning point also necessitates an earthly turning point, i.e. a complete change of earthly circumstances, which must occur again through catastrophic events on this earth, through processes which also bring about the dissolution of earthly creations …. For a spiritual turning point can only occur when everything spiritual is correctly directed again, i.e. incorporated into the forms which correspond to its degree of maturity. It must therefore first be rid of the old forms in order to be able to obtain new forms. All creations must release the spiritual, and that means as much as complete destruction of the creations on this earth. It is not enough that a change only takes place in people, that therefore only people change spiritually, but it is about all spiritual, also about that which is still bound in solid matter, which also has to continue the path of its development one day. Moreover, it is also completely hopeless for people to strive for a spiritual change …. there is no longer any hope that they will ever attain the maturity on earth which earthly existence should bring to every human being and which can also be achieved …. This is why the destruction of the earth and its creations and thus also the termination of people’s lives is no loss for them, for they can no longer lose anything but only gain because new opportunities for development are created for them …. Yet a limit has also been set for the banishment of the spiritual bound in hard matter …. The hour has also come for this spiritual substance when it can go its path of development on this earth liberated and bound in lighter external forms. And this time will also be observed …. For God’s plan of salvation has been determined since eternity. And thus a spiritual turning point will also occur when the spiritual substance has been placed into the corresponding external forms …. when the old earth has been destroyed and a new earth has arisen with creations of all kinds, with living beings, people and animals, which now all live a harmonious, peaceful and blessed life on this new earth according to the spiritual substance’s state of maturity. For the people who are allowed to inhabit this earth live according to God’s will, which also means that they give all living creatures in the animal and plant world and also the still hard matter the opportunity to redeem itself through serving activity, thus the upward development of the spiritual now takes place in a short time …. that a completely changed state is on earth, thus one can rightly speak of a spiritual turning point. It is not only about the human soul …. you humans must consider this if destroying earthly creations and especially destroying the earth seems implausible to you …. The human being on this earth is completely failing in the last time, and through his failure he is also to a large extent hindering the still bound spiritual in its destiny …. A standstill has occurred which is not in accordance with divine order, and the time set for this earth with its creations has expired …. But the development of the spiritual continues …. It has to continue according to divine law, and therefore the work of destruction on earth and its creations has to proceed in the way God has recognized from eternity as beneficial for the spiritual substance which has to take its path across earth …. And thus His plan of salvation has also been determined since eternity, and it will be kept and carried out …. For all creatures also sigh for redemption. And everything that will still happen on earth will serve to initiate the spiritual turning point, and no-one will be able to stop the final events on this earth, because this material destruction is included in God’s plan of salvation in order to also clear the way for the spiritual, which is still bound in solid form, in order to also create opportunities for it to ascend …. For all spiritual substances once emanated from Him and He wants to lead them back to Himself again …. For His love is for all beingness and He seeks to redeem it ….
Amen

Hearing God's word indispensable …. (I do no evil ….)
B.D. 6760 from February 12th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
This, too, will become darkness for you if you close yourselves off to My words, if you believe you can do without My address …. if you thus go through earthly life without ‘My word’. You are quickly ready with the declaration: “I do nothing wrong, I act justly and fulfil My duty ….” but you believe that you don’t need more, you may believe in Me as your God and creator but you distance yourselves from Me, you don’t ask for My word, and this is because My word tells you to do more than you are willing to do …. because My word demands loving activity from you but you refrain from it because self-love is still too great. Therefore, if you claim to believe in a God then you must also listen to what He demands of you. And if you don’t listen to Him then your faith is just a dead faith, and your assurance of faith in Him is then just an expression, they are words without life which are of no use to you for beatitude. And you who speak like this should seriously consider that the day of your end can come suddenly, and you should give an account to yourselves as to how you will be able to survive then …. For deep down you have not yet lost your faith in Me, otherwise you would not make an effort to live righteously on earth either. But it is only very weak precisely because you lack the strengthening which is granted to you through My word. You are already living in darkness but you can still procure light for yourselves on earth if you are not malicious. For again and again My word will be brought to you, and once it can only reach your heart it will also touch you like a flow of strength, and then it can become light in you. You all have to let yourselves be addressed by Me if you want to travel your earthly path with a benefit for the kingdom of the beyond, and that means that you have to intimately unite with Me when My word is brought to you in any way …. that you thus want to hear something from Me Myself …. For listening to an empty proclamation of the word without the will to hear Me Myself cannot be called ‘listening to My word’, and you will not gain anything for your soul from it either. And therefore, My word can only be heard by the person who believes in Me and in this faith expects My address. But even a dead proclamation of the word can cause a person to establish the bond with Me himself, a formal act can become a living event, which is why it is always advisable to visit the places where My word is proclaimed, for as soon as something is only received by the intellect it can also find its way to the heart, which is indeed a matter of free will but can nevertheless be possible. And therefore every opportunity should also be used where a person can find Me. And thus it is always blessed work which is done by those who try to spread My word. It is the sowing of a good seed which may indeed fall on different soil but nevertheless a seed can also take root and sprout …. A person should never believe that such work is in vain, for to have opened up the possibility for a single soul to find Me through listening to My word is a rescue work of utmost significance. If only the human being’s senses are directed towards Me, then the desire to be addressed by Me can also awaken in him one day …. But only My word will impart to the human being the strength he needs to mature on this earth. Anyone who constantly closes his ear, who refuses to listen to the proclaimers of My word, will increase the darkness around him and soon no longer be able to recognize any light, for he will oppose Me Myself Who wants to impart light and strength to him ….
Amen

Serious warning to the world ….
B.D. 6761 from February 14th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
My word will always be doubted by those who still have too strong a bond with the world, who cannot keep a proper measure insofar as they only pay tribute to the world and do not think of their earthly task. My word calls for withdrawal from the world, it calls for overcoming the lures and charms that emanate from the world. And there are an endless number of them. And if they now pay attention to My word they will only be left with harmless pleasures which can no longer endanger their soul, and their desire will increase for pleasures of a spiritual kind …. Thus they by no means come off badly, it is just that they are considered by Me and not by My adversary. But the latter still has great power over the majority of people, and what he thus offers them will rather be seized, it fills the human being’s senses and is therefore also constantly strived for by them. And then My word will not make an impression, rather it will be unwillingly rejected because it is contrary to their desires. And thus it can also be explained that every bond with Me is loosened when physical desires arise and are not repressed …. when the human being’s eye feasts on things which only provide comfort for the body …. or when worldly advantages entice the human being into work which, again, only serves the body and not the soul …. Then My adversary will step between Me and the human being, and then My word will no longer have an effect on him either because My voice will not be heard in him. And you will always be able to notice that people who have already withdrawn from the world will lend an open ear to My word, whereas still worldly-bound people listen to it with complete lack of understanding and are rather unpleasantly affected by it because it demands something from them which they don’t want to give: Renunciation of earthly pleasures and enjoyments …. And satan still has these completely under his control. Therefore you humans cannot be warned often enough about the world if you want to gain eternal life in bliss …. Anyone who does not believe in life after death will only laugh at such warnings and try to gain from the world what pleasures it can only offer him …. But I address the people who believe in it and admonish them to use their earthly life for the life after death. They only give away for a short time what seems appealing in order to then be able to possess everything, happiness and bliss, light and strength and freedom …. And the more they listen to My admonitions and warnings the more deeply and happily My word will touch them, for they hear their father’s voice which, however, is not accepted by those who are still too devoted to the world …. Nor is it surprising if My word is doubted by those who should recognize it because they consider themselves My representatives on earth …. They too are mostly still under the ‘spell of the world’ …. They, too, have not yet been able to detach themselves from it, and therefore they are also still attached to My adversary who confuses their thoughts, so that they also lack the ability to judge when My pure word is conveyed to them …. And this not only applies to official representatives of My name but also to those who still combine spiritual interests too much with worldly interest …. who still turn their eyes too much towards the world instead of turning away from it …. Again and again I have to say that the world is not My kingdom but My adversary’s kingdom …. that you have to leave it, i.e. overcome it, in order to be able to take possession of My kingdom. But then My word will also touch you deeply, and only then will it shine for you like a light from the heavens …. But you will never voluntarily enter into its light if you still pay too much attention to the glare of the world …. And My word is the light which shines pure and bright in the hearts of those who have overcome the world, who seek with all their senses the kingdom which is not of this world ….
Amen

World event …. Chaos …. Antichrist ….
B.D. 6762 from February 15th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
There will be indescribable chaos after I have spoken through the forces of nature, since for as long as the earth has existed nothing of this kind has ever been experienced by humanity. Fear and terror will render people incapable of thinking and doing anything, for their fear that this happening will repeat itself will leave them unable to give a hand in order to help and to rescue where it is still possible to help. Only a few will realise what has happened because it will have been revealed to them before and the truth of My Words will be evident to them …. Hence they will also enlighten their fellow human beings with complete conviction but, once again, only be listened to by a few, because people will accept anything but not that a divine plan of Salvation would be carried out in this way. Nevertheless, this time must be used well and at the same time people should also be informed of the forthcoming end …. That which has taken place cosmically cannot be denied by them and the fact that it had been announced in advance may still make individual people thoughtful. However, the will to live, the personal instinct for preservation, will nevertheless prevail, and people will do whatever it takes to get the earthly adversity, which was triggered by the natural disaster, under control. And again, the degree of love will be the crucial factor, people’s willingness to help their neighbour, whether or how their own circumstances will improve, for I will help all those who care for their fellow human beings’ hardship too …. Yet many will have to struggle hard if they trust in their own strength …. or they will clearly be helped from below if they rigorously proceed at the expense of their fellow human beings. Earthly hardship will be as immense as the chaos that was caused by inconceivable destruction ….
Then countless people will forfeit their faith in a God and Creator because they were sorely affected …. But their faith was a mere formality, it did not stand firm to a serious test …. However, I proclaim this event in advance so that you humans persevere, so that you know that it is My plan, that I Am also Lord over natural forces and that it therefore will also be an easy matter for Me to help those people again who appeal to Me for help …. I wouldn’t have to announce anything to you in advance, I could suddenly intervene and surprise all people. Yet then no-one would want to believe in Me either. But I want you to recognise Me, and you will be able to recognise Me if everything comes to pass such as it has been proclaimed. Then you will know that nothing can happen on this earth without My will, and then you will be able to incline My will towards you by handing yourselves over to Me with complete faith and pray to Me for protection …. Hence this is why I transmit to you the information of what is to come, this is why I initiate you into My plan of Salvation, and this is why I constantly ask you, My servants, to pass your knowledge on to your fellow human beings as well, for your bond with Me will be your most assured protection, regardless of what happens ….
And then the one will become evident who will be My opponent in the last days, who will seize the reins because the immense hardship will make it easy for him and he will subsequently also issue instructions which will clearly prove that he belongs to Satan. And he will find many followers and give unscrupulous orders, he will also want to snatch those of little faith from Me, yet he will meet with resistance from My side too, for I furnish My Own with great strength and the worse the adversity will seem to get the stronger will be My Own, because they will feel Me and My presence and thus will fearlessly communicate what My spirit instructs them to say …. However, all this will have to precede the end, just as it has been proclaimed, because every single soul will still have to be fought for and the great adversity will still push those people towards Me who still call upon Me at the last moment and thereby escape the fate of a renewed banishment ….
Amen

Loving help for fellow human beings in distress ….
B.D. 6763 from February 16th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
You shall help and comfort those who suffer earthly or spiritual hardship. Then you will truly exercise neighbourly love and also awaken love in your fellow human being. The last days cannot pass people by without sorrow and adversity for they are the last means used by Me to win them over for Myself. I want to speak to every human heart by way of such adversity, and if they hear Me, if they recognise My voice in their distress and then turn their heart and ear to Me they will have taken a step forward, they will have entered the path which leads to ascent. But there are still untold people who keep their heart and ear closed to Me …. And you should speak to these and direct them in their adversity to Me, where they will find true comfort and help ….
You are already helping them by not ignoring their distress, and this help will be gratefully received …. You should believe that only love is the correct remedy, that love heals wounds, that love soothes pain and that no human being is immune to a deed of love. And thus, every deed of love will awaken reciprocated love in another person, and only in this way can souls be won. Souls only mature through love, and if a soul is capable of love, then suffering, too, will result in great blessings, for then the soul will purge itself of all impurities and let every ray of love take effect on it …. Therefore you should talk to all people whom you know to be in difficult situations, who endure much suffering and are without hope and despondent. Comfort them and refer them to Me …. Don’t leave them to their pain, so that they won’t feel lonely and despair …. Every kind word is soothing to them, and compassion lets them feel their pain less intensely …. Provide them with earthly and spiritual comfort, so that all suffering will have a beneficial effect on their souls …. For you all still have to face much adversity and misery, you will all still experience situations when you will be grateful for comforting advice, for all kinds of assistance.
In the coming time one person will have to depend on the other, and where people don’t support each other the hardship will appear almost unbearable unless they turn to Me, Who will never leave a person if he calls to Me. And that is all I want to achieve, that people establish such a heartfelt bond with Me that they will never feel lonely and abandoned but always know that their Guardian and Helper is next to them, and that they then will no longer feel their adversity as harshly and as bitterly as the person who is still distant from Me. Every adversity is endurable for a person who takes refuge with Me, but you, who want to serve Me, can work as mediators between Myself and them …. you can show them the way to eliminate their distress, and if you do it with love you will also be successful.
Don’t let your hearts harden, don’t ignore your fellow human beings hardship, look around yourselves and you will see much adversity, and your help will always be comforting to others. But you all can help, for the right kind of help consists of kind-hearted thoughts, kind-hearted words and of actions that your love asks you to do …. True, compassionate love for your fellow human being in distress will always let you find ways and means to ease their hardship, and spiritual guidance is frequently of greater value than earthly assistance, for you thereby open the door to their hearts for Me, and once I can enter them Myself they will also be comforted and gladly carry their cross for their soul’s sake. And then their adversity will have been a blessing, for then they will have found their way home to the Father, I will have won them for eternity ….
Amen

Urgent exhortation to spread the word of God ….
B.D. 6764 from February 17th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
You have your task which you may not shirk because it is extremely urgent and concerns work which not everyone is able to accomplish: You are to pass on My word which is directly conveyed to you by Me and which therefore can also have an extremely powerful effect where it is willingly received. I Myself trained you for this ministry, I Myself introduced you to the truth and also made the understanding for it accessible to you …. Thus I Myself have chosen the disciples who are to convey My teaching to the world in the last days, because I know that it is urgently necessary to convey My pure word to people, which alone can give them light in the time of confusion and which brightly and clearly shows them the path which leads to Me, to eternal beatitude. However, My will cannot necessarily determine you to comply with this task, you must be willing to serve Me in fullest freedom of will, only then will you also be able to do so …. You must not be subject to any kind of compulsion, love for Me and for your neighbour must impel you to convey My word to him, and this love must be so profound that you will not let anything hinder you from carrying out your ministry …. For you will only be successful if love is the driving force behind your activity. But love will also make you overcomers …. i.e., nothing can oppose love, it will always be victorious …. For you also draw the strength for your work for Me and My kingdom from love. And understandably you must therefore always think of your neighbour before you think of yourselves …. You must let every work for Me and My kingdom come to the fore, you must also not let resistance hold you back from this work because it will dissolve by itself where the strength of love is active. The spreading of My word is of utmost importance and should not be postponed either, because every day can still be utilized for the work every person still has to do on his soul …. because every person also needs strength for this, which he can draw from My word again and again …. because My word is the water of life which alone helps the soul to recover, and because My flow of grace shall constantly flow into the hearts of those who desire it …. And people long for it …. for whom I was once able to address through his willingness to hear Me I also want to constantly quench his hunger and thirst, for he increases the more he is allowed to receive. Therefore, don’t let any stagnation occur, fill their hearts with the nourishment which I Myself offer you, let them also come to the table where My gifts are spread out for everyone …. Share out as long as you yourselves receive the abundance of grace and let no-one go hungry. And remember that the time is only short when you can work unhindered, remember that every day has to be utilized, and take your work seriously, for it is very urgent …. Again and again I tell you that you can be certain of My help, My grace and My protection, that I Myself bless you and your work and that you just must not become lukewarm and indifferent, because then you would easily run the risk of being worked on by My adversary, but this is impossible for him as soon as you are eagerly active on My behalf. And he tries to stop this eager activity of yours, and he truly has many means which he uses but which remain ineffective where you use your love with increased strength, where you unite with Me ever more intimately through your activity and therefore allow My constant presence which makes every activity impossible for the adversary …. Just hand yourselves over to My protection with complete trust and you will not lack the strength to be active for Me. Time is pressing, and thus you should also try to fulfil My mission ever more eagerly: To spread My word and to make people’s hearts happy who draw strength from My word and who now also want to be active again, as it is My will …. Time is pressing, and therefore I admonish you again and again and make you aware of the significance of your earthly task. I have mentioned to you that you proclaim the gospel in My stead, which you receive directly from Me ….
Amen

Fall into the depth is the same as being without knowledge ….
B.D. 6765 from February 18th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
In recognition of the truth is the whole salvation of the being …. Once it was standing in the light, in the highest knowledge, and therefore it was also blessed in excess. For the being recognized My love, wisdom and power …. it knew, that it was created by Me, and it also knew its purpose. It was constantly illuminated by My strength of love, there was nothing dark, nothing unknown for this being, and there was nothing, that the being limited in his will and his strength …. It was an unspeakably blissful state, a being in most luminous spheres, who, filled with My thoughts, even could be recognizable these thoughts to the beings …. It was a constant overflowing of My original being into all these beings created by Me, which also produced unlimited salvation in these beings. But the state of the beings changed …. What streamed to them abundantly, they refused in free will …. when the first by Me created being misused its free will and turned it against Me …. a process, which was from far-reaching importance for all spiritual, once come out of Me. Indeed that first being was also in highest knowledge, because it was created as My image, it was My equal in its nature, except that it was not from eternity, but it was created by Me, so My will and My urge of love let arise it at first …. And this being envied My priority to be of “eternity“, while itself had a “beginning“ …. And since it was not able to watch Me, it set itself up as master of all created beings, which also accepted it in large part as their Lord …. in spite of brightest knowledge …. And it lost all qualities, that (still) characterize it as a divine being, because it abused the characteristic of divinity, the free will, and because it was completely without any love. It sank into the darkness …. And its condition was unblessed, it was without light and strength, and it remained in this unfortunate condition for eternities …. But the will of the first created being and also of its following was not able to drive out Myself, the eternal truth, the light of eternity …. It was well to refuse Me its recognition, it could turn away from Me, but it could not destroy Me, blot out, let pass away …. I was and remained the power, That has control of all and to Whom also the fallen spirits must be subordinated, if this is My will. But I let him the freedom …. I let fall the beings, where they strove self-willed, to the depth. But I too do not refuse the being, if it wants to rise out of the depth again, if it makes the way to Me again and wants to receive strength and light again from Me …. I help it to get rather that and use all means. And because they lack any cognition, because they are completely without any light and each knowledge, I give it also the possibility once again, to obtain this light …. I let get the beings into the state again after an endlessly long way of development, that they are able to recognize, if they are willing to that …. And this is in the stage as man, where I send the truth to the being, to put it back into a state of bliss again …. but where the free will has to do this again …. What it once had, it must be acquired only now, but this will for that is evaluated very highly, and then the being reaches a level of light, which still exceeds the former level of light, because it has not only become My creature now, but My child, who had well the freedom, to remain in the depth, but still strove for the height on its own initiative and is unspeakably blessed now, because it stands in the light of truth again, because any darkness has left it, because all divine features fulfill the being in full measure and because it can not be pushed away any more now from Me through My opponent …. that first created being …. whose guilt is far greater, to have separated itself from Me, and therefore it needs also far more time, to go back the path of return to Me, but that will also recognize one day, that the unlimited salvation is only found with Me, its Father of eternity ….
Amen

The knowledge of the passage through creation without proof ….
B.D. 6766 from February 19th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Having travelled the earthly path in vain is the worst fate for the soul …. which is about to become free from material form …. for it cannot walk the earthly path again as a human being, it cannot repeat this stage as a human being at will but has to walk the path through the whole of creation again, which takes an infinitely long time and causes the spiritual being unimaginable torment again because it is once more bound in hardest matter which it cannot break. If people knew about this fate, i.e. if they had proof of it, they would, driven by fear, do everything to counteract this fate. The evidence is lacking because such compulsion would be of no use for the spiritual. But knowledge goes to people …. And again, it is up to their will whether they believe the knowledge they receive or not. They should live their earthly life responsibly, they should experience that their life on earth can have a positive or a negative effect …. However, belief in it will not be forced in any way, but the fate of those who don’t believe it and live irresponsibly will be dreadful but cannot be averted because then there would be no possibility at all for the spiritual being to attain freedom again one day. It is also understandable that people doubt what they offer each other as intellectual knowledge; and such doubts are also justified because no human being can fathom intellectually what was and will be before and after his death. But knowledge which comes to people in an unusual way should nevertheless be considered, and its probability should be accepted …. But even such knowledge is not a compulsion for the human being, because it can also be rejected as a ‘human spiritual product’. Nevertheless, it should be examined and not immediately rejected …. because in the stage as a human being he also has abilities at his disposal which he lacks in the bound state …. He can think and judge and consciously call upon that power that created him for clarity. But people live thoughtlessly and misuse both their freedom of will as well as the abilities they were given for this earthly existence, and therefore they have to accept a dreadful fate after their physical death because they did not use their earthly life as a human being for final liberation. For as soon as the end of this earth has come, a further development in the kingdom of the beyond, which was still possible before, will also be eliminated. People who live on earth in the last days therefore also have the privilege of being able to receive spiritual knowledge which previously remained hidden from people …. For in recent times connections from the world of light to earth have been established more and more frequently, which serve such a transfer of knowledge …. Furthermore, beings of light are also embodied on earth whose task it is to instruct people about God’s plan of salvation, about the end and about the destiny of that which passes over earth as a human being …. And these therefore also give light to people, they enlighten them about the correlations and also about the near end. And they admonish and warn them and also present to them the fate which awaits them if they let earthly life pass by unused. But all this has to happen without compulsion of will, yet every human being has the opportunity to live consciously, because every human being is also able to think and because no human being remains without warning and admonition. But the time allotted to people to become free from the form is limited …. And whoever therefore does not make use of it will again be bound in earth creations for an endless time …. He was on the verge of his perfection, which would have brought him entrance into the kingdom of light, and in free will falls back into the abyss again …. Nor can he be spared the fate of renewed banishment, for every being is considered according to its will …. Wherever it turns, that will also be granted to it …. But he who believes also lives his life consciously, and he will succeed in freeing himself from the bondage and move into spheres of light where there is eternally no more bondage, no more tormenting fetters ….
Amen

God's love in the must state and to man ….
B.D. 6767 from February 20th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Everything experiences the love of God …. even the tiniest creature, which you humans are unable to see with the naked eye. For it would not be if God’s strength of love did not flow through it, thus sustaining it. And therefore nothing remains on the same level but everything advances inexorably, even if it takes eternities until it has reached the stage where it is to prove itself as a human being. God’s love has led it to this stage, and God’s love is the guarantee that nothing is excluded from this ascent development, for God’s will determines its course through the creations of this earth, and this is truly guided by God’s love and wisdom. Admittedly, the human being, influenced by God’s adversary, can also prevent the spiritual substances still bound in the creations from coming into service. But then God will take care of it again and assign it its serving function, for whatever the human being destroys in his lack of understanding will not fall into the hands of God’s adversary but God’s love will seize it again and assign it a new abode where it can continue its interrupted course of development. And therefore all spiritual substances will one day reach the degree of maturity which allows them to be embodied as a human being …. But now the love of God certainly belongs unchanged to this spiritual embodied as a human being, but this no longer determines its activity, instead, the human being now has complete freedom to give any direction to the will …. thus to be active in serving love or to refuse this activity and instead rule and only live his self-love on earth. And God allows him this freedom because this is the test he is required to pass. Yet God’s infinite love now directs his whole earthly life such that he can always give his will the right direction, that he …. although he is free …. he can completely subordinate himself to divine will. And until the human being’s death His guidance will be obvious, because His love never ceases and is especially meant for the spiritual being in the last stage on this earth, because it is in danger of surrendering to God’s adversary again, but from which it should liberate itself. And love will not diminish even if the being distances itself from God …. Then the means of salvation, which God uses to increase their effectiveness, will also become increasingly more powerful …. But free will remains with the human being, and this alone is the reason why, despite God’s infinite love, the course of development on earth does not reach the conclusion which guarantees the spiritual being full freedom in light and strength …. although it can be achieved. Free will alone determines whether the course of development has been travelled in vain or whether it leads to final freedom, but God’s love does not diminish even if the being fails in this test of will …. And God’s love therefore always creates new possibilities, for it does not leave the fallen beingness in the depth …. And God’s love is the reason for the still eternally emerging works of creation which only ever serve the redemption of the spiritual, which are inspired by that spiritual which has to cover the course of ascent development in the bound state …. These creations guarantee the attainment of a certain degree of maturity, but in the stage as a human being the free will returned to the being can also endanger this degree of maturity again …. And yet, the spiritual must be granted this freedom because otherwise it would be impossible to reach perfection, which is the final aim of all spiritual, which emerged from God’s love …. which therefore also has to become love itself in order to be able to return to God again, in order to be and remain perfect eternally ….
Amen

Beneficial effect of God’s Word …. Awakening – Life ….
B.D. 6768 from February 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 72
My Words are spirit and life for you …. You cannot remain in a dead state when you permit My Words to enter your heart, you must feel the strength of My Word and with this strength become active, hence alive …. When the Word touches your hearts then you have come into contact with Me because of My Words, or you would not hear My voice even though you hear the words. For that reason I ask that you allow My Word to enter your heart, don’t let the ear just hear so that the Word won’t merely pass you by without meaning. You must hear Me talk to you Myself and you can only do that when you give yourselves to Him, Who speaks to you …. when you open your hearts, when you consciously and attentively listen to what your God and Father wants to tell you. Then you truly receive strength in abundance and you find life. What you now receive because of My love will give you life because I feel sorry for you as long as you are still dead in spirit. For you are not in a perfect condition even if you believe that you are in full possession of strength on earth …. The life I want to give you is not comparable to earthly life …. You are supposed to achieve the life of the soul and this life is a gift that you all can receive if you desire it. But it can only be given to you by Him Who is life Himself …. The flow of life only comes from Me but it eternally flows to human beings by means of My Word which is the emission of My strength of love and therefore has to be revitalising as soon as it touches the dead. And you either consent to this touch or repel it …. Thus you yourselves decide over life and death of your soul.
Consequently you should understand that I, Who since eternity Am the Word Myself, only aim to give life to the hitherto dead by sending My Word to earth and that the acceptance of My Word thus has to be of the greatest significance for you …. because it saves you with certainty from a degrading and wretched condition. Because no divine gift remains ineffective if only you humans would allow it to take effect. Thus My Word must also have an extremely beneficial effect on you in as much as you can feel its influence on yourselves, you must irrevocably feel urged to live in accordance to My Word, that is, to carry out My will which is made known to you by means of My Word …. But you should not resist it, you must hear it willingly and allow yourselves to be guided by it in order to live your life accordingly …. Then you will accomplish the greatest spiritual achievements, you will acquire the necessary maturity of soul and enter the realm of light after the death of your bodies. Thus you have a definite means, a means of undeniably beneficial effect for your soul …. Yet only few people make use of this beneficial means …. And My divine flow of strength cannot touch their souls who walk their earthly path ailing and miserable and depart from this world without success. As a result the most effective means is not or only rarely heeded and unusual spiritual experiences, which would be more noticed, cannot always be applied since they would compel to believe and therefore the success for the soul would scarcely be worth mentioning unless they internalise the person and make him receptive for My Word …. My wisdom perceives this in advance and therefore it may appear at times as if a human being was bestowed by Me with unusual gifts of grace which guarantee him an easier ascent …. I know the degree of a soul’s maturity, I also know when the resistance of a soul has become so weak that it only requires a slight spiritual experience to break down this resistance …. And in that case the acceptance for My Word is present too, and now every soul has to perform the same work: to voluntarily live in accordance to My Word …. only then the unusual gift of grace has been utilised and subsequently My Word will have the same effect on him, because it is strength in itself and now raises the dead.
When I speak to a human being it has to have a healing effect on a fatally ill soul because it comes into direct contact with the energy of life …. but the same success cannot be expected where My Word is opposed because this opposition does not allow a favourable effect …. it is, after all, a repeated sin against My love and a sin never results in a positive effect …. But you humans could easily receive life and therefore strength too. Every human being has the opportunity to hear My Word, to read it or to speak to Me in thought himself. Even if he is fully in the world …. it would be possible for everyone to disassociate themselves from the world for a short period of time and to offer nourishment to the soul: to get engrossed with My Word and thus voluntarily make the connection with Him, Who has to be acknowledged as God and Creator. And I would truly bless his will, I would meet him and talk to him in such a way that he would time and again request to hear Me and My Word …. But the world replaces every thought of Me, My Word is carelessly ignored, the opportunities to hear My Word are even considered intrusive and the rejection of My gift of love comes so evidently to the forefront that it is not surprising that humanity is ever more overcome by weakness …. that the lowest spiritual level becomes ever more noticeable and that My opponent is winning authority over the human beings who themselves prevent every supply of strength. They would not even benefit from unusual gifts of grace as these would be ineffective because the people don’t want to see the light brought forth to them. Thus humanity causes the end of this earth themselves because a significant ascent can no longer be made, human life on this earth is not being utilised and therefore has become without purpose …. First an order has to be established that makes a progressive development possible again …. And I certainly will put this order in place as soon as the hour has arrived, as it is decided since eternity …. because human beings shall attain life and not remain in a dead state eternally ….
Amen

About Baptism …. Baptism for adults ….
B.D. 6769 from February 24th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
You have received the baptism of the spirit when you accept the living water from Me, when you refresh yourselves at the source of life and thereby receive strength for your soul …. You have to be baptised with spiritual water …. Then you are also members of My church which I founded on earth. You cannot acquire this membership through mere formality, this is why the baptism you perform is no guarantee that it will shape a person into a true Christian, it is at best considered the evidence of good will to guide a person to Me. But the return to Me has to be started and carried out by the person himself …. And likewise he only submerges himself in the spring of living water when My spirit has made the source accessible to him. Then he will have received baptism because he has joined My church consciously, and then he is reborn in spirit ….
The purpose of your earthly life is your return to Me, and the act of return has to take place completely consciously, it can never be replaced by a formality. Your will has to turn to Me of its own accord, you have to seek the inner relationship with Me and request help from Me on your path of ascent. Thus all this can certainly be taught to a child, it can be encouraged to communicate with Me in prayer …. But only when the human being spontaneously does what he was taught …. only when he chooses Me voluntarily will he start to immerse himself in the source to receive the baptism of spirit …. For then My living water can flow to him, he can hear My Word and draw strength from it. Only then can he pray to Me in spirit and in truth, but then he will also be enlightened by My spirit and at the same time start a new life.
Thus the act of baptism is carried out the instant it is possible for Me to affect a person directly when he gives himself to Me …. For then he belongs to Me even if his path is still fraught with battles, with all kinds of temptations, but I now have a right to him and I will not allow My adversary to seize him again …. He is protected from this by the baptism of spirit which will have already helped him to establish his living bond with Me, since the living bond with Me through a prayer in spirit and in truth will have proved his willingness to immerse himself in the well to be embraced by My purifying and curative living water.
Until this inner act of baptism has taken place, external actions of baptism cannot result in a person’s spiritual baptism, they will always remain a formality and cannot bring any benefit to the soul. Hence an act of baptism performed on adult people can equally be a mere formality and does not ensure the spiritual baptism yet …. whilst the inner, living bond with Me and the pouring out of My spirit can even come about without any outer formality.
I only ever evaluate the human being’s will to join Me and his conscious endeavour to detach himself from My adversary …. And corresponding to this will the source, which provides living water for the person, can be made accessible to him. That is the consummation of the spiritual baptism, because from then on living water flows incessantly. Then every Word of Mine bestows light and strength to the soul, then every shell that still surrounds the soul will dissolve …. the ailing soul will heal, the weak soul will become strong, the baptism will result in a transformation, in a change of the spiritual sphere the soul now occupies …. It will consciously leave My adversary’s realm and enter My kingdom, where it can now be enlightened by My spirit because its will accepts it, it has come to life and is thus also a suitable vessel into which I can pour My spirit. And with increased desire it will strive towards Me, it looks for unity with Me because it has recognised Me and the return to Me will be completed, it is and remains eternally Mine ….
Amen

The natural event is the last admonition before the end ….
B.D. 6770 from February 25th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
You are repeatedly advised to remember the end which is approaching the whole human race but which can also be encountered by each one of you beforehand already, because no person can protect himself when I recall him from this earth. Time and again you will be admonished and warned, time and again you will be reminded of previous predictions by seers and prophets which likewise refer to the end of this earth, and time and again you will also be made aware of death by the events surrounding yourselves. Yet only if you seriously consider such thoughts will you also give account to yourselves, you will be sincerely critical of your way of life and make an effort to still gain spiritual benefit on this earth. If, however, all these indications and the admonitions and warnings leave no impression on you, then the end will take you by surprise and you will fall prey to it entirely unprepared. When people inform you of it on My instructions you laugh at them and mock them and deem yourselves spiritually far superior to them …. And thus there only remains one way in order to instruct you more credibly …. that the forces of nature will remind you of an end …. I have to use this means for the sake of the many unbelieving people who carry on as if they will live on earth forever. What My Word cannot achieve can still be accomplished by this natural event: inner reflection and also a conscious turning to Me; although people can also fight even harder to stay alive and mentally still oppose Me …. Yet the power Which they refuse to acknowledge must give evidence of Itself, and this is why the natural disaster will have immense consequences, because I want to address people everywhere and direct their thoughts towards their end …. And thus all people shall receive knowledge of My intervention, even though it will still be limited, hence not affecting the whole earth. Yet it will not be possible to ignore My voice since it is, after all, a final warning of the end of this earth, which can be expected soon afterwards.
However, prior to that I can only ever announce an end as well as this natural disaster through My Word. And therefore My servants will time and again mention what humanity can expect. And extraordinary suffering and a time of need, which every human being will have to endure, shall support these servants and demand attention to their words …. For every person shall experience that he can be victorious if he has faith and calls upon Me in his distress. In view of people’s low spiritual level My intervention no longer signifies compulsory faith either, for they try to explain everything rationally and even then will still not acknowledge a Power Which is in command of life and death. But they shall be offered every opportunity to change their thinking, and that can only be brought about by a natural disaster on this scale. This is why I will still use this last resort …. while leaving the free decision to every individual person, thus not forcibly affecting him …. Consider your own end if you are incapable of believing in an end of this earth. For there is not much time left until the hour will come when that which I constantly announce to you will happen, because I love you and want to save you, because I want to protect you from renewed banishment into hard matter …. For each one of you can still change himself for the better if it is his will ….
Amen

Blessing of mental bonding with God for the soul ….
B.D. 6771 from February 26th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Spiritual progress is only ever achieved when My strength of love can pour into the human being, for this means increased activity of love and thus also perfection of the human being. And My strength of love can only radiate through the human being again when his heart turns to Me in love, which is already testified to by a heartfelt prayer to Me. Then he consciously opens himself to My influx and then I return his love. This is why the blessing is immeasurable which is triggered by the frequent mental bond with Me …. A person who repeatedly turns his thoughts to Me, who often enters into silence and has a silent dialogue with Me …. A person whose soul often rises into spiritual spheres will always be showered with gifts of love, strength and light will flow to him even if he has no earthly evidence of it …. The soul is constantly nourished, and although unusual activity is not recognizable in the earthly body it is nevertheless filled with light and strength, and at the hour of death it need only leave its physical shell in order to then be admitted into the kingdom of light for undreamt-of activity, because it is able to do so due to its spiritual wealth which its earthly change has brought it. For a person who remains in constant contact with Me mentally and through prayer will also constantly work with love on earth, because this is the natural effect of the flow of love which he constantly receives from Me. And thus its soul must also shape itself into that perfection which was once its own …. It feels its belonging to Me, there is no longer any separation, for its will is fully My own, and thus its return is accomplished, and it can return to its home full of light and strength and be inexpressibly blissful …. Only the close bond with Me is necessary, which has to be established by the human being of his own accord without any coercion …. Then the influx of strength of love from Me is already assured, and then the person’s soul can never sink, for it will be held by Me and prompted to everlasting activity of love, because strength from Me can never remain inactive, thus it has to work according to My will. And every person should know that My strength of love is available to him without measure, that he only needs to request it in prayer and through mental contact with Me also establishes the contact which enables the transfer of My strength of love …. It is truly not difficult to reach the state of perfection again, and the path is so clearly shown to you humans, yet you have to take it yourselves, you may not be forced but do in all freedom what helps you to become blissfully happy: You must take note of your earthly task and seek to fulfil it …. You must listen to My word and live accordingly …. And you can be sure that My love will help you as soon as I recognize your earnest will to attain beatitude and to be reunited with Me as it was in the beginning …. For My love for you has remained unchanged and will not change in eternity, it will do everything in order to also shape you into beings full of love and strength again, it will shine upon you again and again until you, too, desire My love and now open yourselves to Me in the will to become and remain Mine for all eternity ….
Amen

Must state …. free will state ….
B.D. 6772 from February 27th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
The course through the earth’s creation brings a certain maturity to the spiritual, because the beingness cannot work against God’s will, since it is active in a state of compulsion according to God’s will. And this bound state is the only possibility to withdraw the beingness from the influence of the adversary, from which it otherwise could not be released eternally. But God helps the weak, which is dominated by an evil power …. He helps it to once reach the state of being able to decide in free will, thus also to escape from this evil power. Since God’s adversary also has a right to this spiritual substance, which voluntarily followed him into the abyss, he cannot be denied the opportunity to fight for it, and therefore he also makes use of the time when he can influence its will in every way so as not to lose his followers. However, the state of maturity which the spirit has reached through its path through the creations also enables it to resist the adversary’s desire, because God also exerts His influence, (insofar as) He nevertheless does not interfere with free will …. The walk through creation is therefore a gift of grace from God, that the one who has sunk into the depths is granted assistance to reach a certain height again. But then the being’s own responsibility comes into play, for now only his will decides. Consequently, the human being …. the spiritual being in that state of maturity …. no longer exposed to coercion, neither from good nor from evil, he is free but still extremely weakened in will, which is why God’s adversary often finds it very easy to win the human being’s will, just as, conversely, the blessings of the act of salvation are at his disposal again which strengthen the will, and the world of light also tries to gain influence in every way. But the decision to which side the will is directed must be left to the human being alone. And this is the battle which every soul …. the spiritual in the human being …. has to wage on earth in which it can be defeated but also emerge victorious …. There can never be an excuse for the soul if it is defeated by the adversary, for every soul can survive the battle because God provides it with all necessary means. And therefore every soul must also bear the consequences of its decision, it cannot be spared them, but on the other hand it will also be immeasurably happy if it passes this battle. The great grace of having been liberated from the adversary’s rule for eternities is already a certain obligation to now make the right decision; but the human being lacks the knowledge about his course of development beforehand, because he must not feel any compulsion on God’s part either, so that he truly decides freely. But as soon as he receives the knowledge on earth he should also make use of it by striving for perfection, for in the last days before the end the human being will be reminded of the great responsibility of his earthly life by receiving knowledge which would otherwise have remained hidden from him, because in view of the end the new banishment in the creations is also mentioned, which threatens those who completely fail in earthly life. Although the belief in this is only decisive as to whether the soul derives an advantage from this knowledge, it can awaken its sense of responsibility and still be evaluated as a final gift of grace. And then the soul will be spared the dreadful fate of a new banishment, it will have made its decision of its own free will after all, not under compulsion ….

Force effect …. divine law …. creation ….
B.D. 6773 from February 28th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
You were created for a life of bliss, for a state where you could work and create with Me and in My will …. And therefore you were also endowed with all gifts, you were created in My image, you could dispose of light and strength without limitation, no restriction was imposed on you, and thus your state was blissful as long as you remained as I had created you …. The fact that you became blissfully unhappy was not a withdrawal of these gifts on My part but rather a refusal to accept that which established your bliss …. You yourselves rejected My strength of love which enabled you to work and create, you yourselves withdrew from communion with Me because you believed that you could also exist without Me in the same strength and the same light …. You no longer wanted to be dependent on Me, the unlimited strength at your disposal had made you arrogant and the thought of this separation from Me had already darkened your spirit …. and therefore you no longer recognized the immense sin you were guilty of by voluntarily turning away from Me. And thus you yourselves were also responsible for your wretched state, which was the result of your arrogance and your will turned away from Me. For now you lost all abilities which were characteristics of your divinity because they were also based on the strength of love which you rejected. You became powerless and lightless, all life-affirming ability was taken from you, you could no longer be active, and the state of death was your fate, you who were only created for life …. The strength once emanating from Me lost its effectiveness …. And this state has to be changed again, because it has been the law since eternity that My strength is constantly active and generates life again. The standstill which had occurred due to that apostasy from Me did not last long. I gave form to that power …. I let the creation come into being in which the strength once emanated by Me was captured and now nevertheless works again, even if to a lesser degree …. I assigned to those creations their purpose and thus also the activity which every work of creation had to carry out …. The spiritual entities which were once externalized by Me as independent beings had certainly become incapable of activity because they had rejected My strength. But since they themselves were ‘strength emanated by Me’ I reshaped this very strength …. the once independent being was dissolved into countless particles, and these sparks of strength thus had to be active again in works of creation of all kinds according to My will …. Thus those beings lost the consciousness of their ‘self ‘ and also all knowledge for the purpose that the strength did not remain ineffective for the time being, that its effectiveness then constantly increased and finally the being which had attained ‘self-consciousness’ was able to seek unification with the original source of strength again …. so that the being voluntarily takes the path to Me again, that it seeks the bond with Me which it once gave up in free will …. The strength emanating from Me could never have remained inactive for as long as the fall into the abyss inevitably meant …. Therefore I assigned another activity to the strength, at the same time creating a possibility for the fallen beings to ascend …. even if in the ‘law of compulsion’, because a voluntary ascent was impossible in that absence of light and strength, yet according to My law of eternal order no strength could remain ineffective. Thus I certainly grasped the strength and assigned it the purpose but I did not force the being to turn back. For the being must accomplish this return in free will, it must once again receive a small realization and, by virtue of this ability of realization, make the decision itself, which, however, can also be wrong again. But it will not be able to be happy for as long as it rejects Me, as long as it does not make use of My strength of love, which I truly do not deprive the being of but which loses its effectiveness as soon as it encounters resistance. And I only try to break this resistance with love again by repeatedly letting My ray of love fall on the being during the time of free decision of will, on which its love can now also ignite …. But then the being’s return is also assured because love urges love and can now also become effective again in all its strength ….
Amen

Defence of the word should not stop proclamation ….
B.D. 6774 from March 3rd 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Don’t let yourselves be distracted by the rejection of those to whom you want to bring My word, but only lovingly present to them what moves you inwardly, for this is the urging of My spirit …. And if your fellow human beings remain defensive, then don’t try to force the spiritual knowledge upon them, but go on and leave those with blessing thoughts. (3.3.1957) Every person has free will and even My word may not exert any coercion on him. And therefore it is brought to all people in such a natural way that he can freely decide himself to accept or reject it. And even the word directly conveyed to you by Me will not compel faith, because it can only be directly imparted to a person in a certain degree of faith, and thus only one task remains for you, who want to serve Me, to inform your fellow human beings of the treasure you possess, and their faith in it depends on their own degree of maturity and their own will. But where a strong will of love urges you to communicate you will also be more successful, for the fellow human being will feel the love and his will of resistance will no longer be so strong, he will reflect, and then much will already have been gained, because then My enlightened helpers will be able to intervene and often have a successful effect on him. In the last days before the end you will not be able to achieve many successes, for people cannot often be won over to spiritual words, they see too worldly and their eyes no longer recognize the light which shines towards them when My word is offered to them. They are blinded by will-o’-the-wisps which flash brightly and weaken their vision for the gentle light which My love radiates in the word. Moreover, they also don’t want to seek their salvation outside of the places where they assume it to be but where it can rarely be found …. And if they would only seek My word there then I would also reveal Myself to them in the word in those places …. But external customs and traditions which they find there are enough for them; the giver of strength …. My word …. but they do not desire it, and therefore I send you, My servants, in their way to offer them what they lack and carelessly fail to fetch strength from My word for their ascent. But you, too, will seldom find hungry and thirsty people, for mostly they have already nourished themselves elsewhere with food that is unhealthy for their souls. And so it is necessary to make an attempt everywhere, so that no one can say that I have not knocked at his door and desired admittance. I Myself want to have addressed them once, be it through you or also by listening to My word in the usual way. Once they merely desire to hear Me Myself …. then I will certainly speak to them, and the strength of My word, of My address, will not remain without effect. For everyone receives if only he desires …. The time of grace is coming to an end and My words will sound ever more urgently and also call upon you, My servants, to increase your activity, for you, too, are unaware of how much I already care about the salvation of a single soul and that this salvation can succeed through the supply of My word …. And therefore the resistance and rejection of unwilling fellow human beings should not distract you or hinder you in your vineyard work or make you lukewarm …. Some seeds do fall on good soil, and they can sprout and bear fruit. But where you are met with hostility, there shake the dust from your feet. For these have been worked on by My adversary and their will still completely belongs to him, and there you will also achieve nothing despite good will to help them. For they will not let My word penetrate their ears, much less their hearts. But they, too, can still change before the end, for I will not give up a person until the last hour of this earth has come. Therefore you should also be tirelessly active and only ever work for Me and My kingdom, and your work will truly be blessed, for souls will always benefit from it, if not on earth then certainly in the kingdom of the beyond …. where the souls also require the strength of My word in order to attain life in bliss ….

Power effect of the word …. lord over matter ….
B.D. 6775 from March 4th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
When the haven of grace opens up to you from above then you will also have the strength to successfully complete your earthly life, for then the spell which you had imposed on yourselves through the defence against My strength of love will already have been broken. You now accept it fully consciously, thus your state of weakness must now also be remedied insofar as you are no longer under My adversary’s power, thus he can no longer hinder you on the path upwards …. For now you are strong enough yourselves to repel him when he wants to oppress you. And he can only harass you when your striving upwards diminishes, but as long as you receive nourishment from My hand your thoughts and aspirations will always be directed upwards, otherwise the flow from above would dry up. Nevertheless, My adversary will want to tempt you again and again because it is an abomination to him when his activity is exposed and when he loses followers. But these temptations will only ever be dangerous for you if you are still attached to the world, for he can only influence you through the world. Therefore, anyone who loves the world is also in danger of succumbing to its temptations …. anyone who has overcome them can no longer be lured by the world. But as soon as My spirit can pour into a person’s heart the world has already lost its attraction for the person, even though he stands in the midst of the world and also has to assert himself in it as long as he lives on earth. But there is a difference between a person who forgets Me above the world, i.e. the world and its goods are ‘his God’ for him, and a person who only sees it as the last testing station whose goods he no longer values highly and therefore does not attach his heart to these goods …. Every person who strives to ascend should deepen his inner being more and more, and if he receives strength from above through My word, nothing will hold him back from inward contemplation, for this is the effect of My word’s strength, that it constantly pushes the person closer to Me who immerses himself in My word. But as long as he lives on earth he will also be in constant battle with everything that surrounds him …. And as soon as he subordinates everything to himself, as soon as he himself is master over matter, as soon as he does not let it gain dominion over him, he will also emerge victorious from this battle. But he cannot flee the world, he shall overcome it …. by not making himself dependent on its goods, by being able to renounce just as easily …. and always has to do without when there is a danger of becoming spiritually flat …. For then the tempter is at work, and then you must be careful. And I truly know how to come to the aid of those who seriously strive to attain Me, and I will not let them fall into My adversary’s hands. Whatever serves the soul’s recovery it will receive, and illness and suffering also serve it for this purpose at times, for a healthy body is not always free from cravings, and illness can still help remove impure urges …. Nevertheless, not every illness is to be regarded as such a measure on My part …. It can also serve to glorify My love and power. For you humans don’t know My plans, you don’t know that I want to help people attain a living faith again. But you should know that you may draw from a source of strength which means far more than a healthy body. And as long as the father’s love opens this well for you, you should patiently take everything upon yourselves and be certain that you will escape another danger which threatens countless people who enjoy the best physical health …. And from this source you will always be allowed to draw strength and also realize that My love applies to you at all times …. that My wisdom and love directs and guides everything as it is good for your soul’s salvation …. And you should trust in this wisdom and love of Mine and completely hand yourselves over to Me …. Then every worry will fall away from you, you will receive everything from My hand because you know that you are cared for by My love ….
Amen

Forwarding prophetic word ….
B.D. 6776 from March 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
When the signs of the end will make themselves felt, then also those will remember your words who opposed you before …. And this is My purpose when I constantly instruct you to pass on My word, to inform everyone of what is about to happen. As long as their lives are still monotonous they will not take your words seriously either, but they will think back to them when unusual phenomena occur of which you have already spoken before …. Doubts and unbelief will often chase away their thoughts again, which seriously try to deal with it, but again the events will not fail to have an effect, and then it will still have been achieved that they will try to explain everything to themselves with a higher force and are already prepared for the great adversity and the difficult time which lies ahead of you all. And so you know that I only exhort you to diligent vineyard work so that many shall still take notice of these announcements, even if they don’t believe in them. Bear this knowledge to all who cross your path and do not be offended if they mock or blaspheme you. This knowledge cannot be spread in any other way than through people, and it must always be left up to them whether they want to accept it or not. You should only ever tell them that you are only relieving yourselves of a divine task when you speak to them, that they are not forced to believe but that they should also once entertain such thoughts that a quick end is imminent for all people …. And even if they listen to you unwillingly, the thoughts of your words will haunt them or also suddenly come to their consciousness when unusual phenomena are reported. And something is preparing itself …. because everything comes true which I let proclaim to people through seers and prophets …. And don’t become fickle yourselves when the days seem to pass by in peace and quiet; sooner than you think the day will come when there will be great lamentation amongst people. And much seed can still spring up where the ground has not been entirely stony. I don’t have many workers on earth who know My plan of salvation, before whom I have spread it out in order to find capable helpers on earth for a work which can only be carried out by people …. But these few are initiated into My plan of salvation and also recognize the necessity of an intervention on My part, and in this realization they shall also draw their fellow human beings’ attention and pretend to be My messengers, My servants who only carry out their lord’s order …. they, being in My service, should not fear people, they should speak without fear what I Myself have communicated to them, and they should be firmly convinced that I also stand by My word …. that everything will come about as I have announced to those who are to speak in My stead on earth. And even if people smile pityingly because of your faith that you are in direct contact with Me …. One day they will freeze because of their unbelief. I call all of you to this work who receive knowledge of My word, for opportunities will always present themselves to all of you where you can mention it, which you learn through My word …. For this, too, is still a last means of salvation which, however, is not compulsory again. Whatever will come has been planned from eternity, it is included in My plan of salvation and determined by My love and My wisdom. And therefore you, My servants on earth, can spread My announcements with complete conviction, you need not fear that you will be punished with lies one day, for the eternal truth Itself conveys this knowledge to you, and the eternal truth Itself instructs you to inform your fellow human beings of it as well …. For the sake of their salvation I still use such means which make it easy for them to believe but which never restrict people’s free will …. For even then they can still give themselves explanations if they don’t want to believe ….
Amen

Receiving the truth obliges …. lightlessness ….
B.D. 6777 from March 6th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
God introduces you to the truth …. Your thinking will be directed correctly, everything will become understandable to you, your reason for being and its purpose will be explained to you, everything that was dark before will brighten up …. And thus your earthly task will also be recognized by you who stand in truth …. But you can also recognize the darkness in which the majority of people live and how wrong their thinking and aspirations are. And because you live in the grace of receiving the truth yourselves you also have an obligation: to bring light into this darkness and to enlighten your fellow human beings about their purpose of existence and their task on earth. For although they lack the knowledge which you yourselves possess, it is nevertheless necessary to achieve the purpose of their life, and they can do so if only they conduct their way of life in accordance with divine will …. if they endeavour to live in love for God and their neighbour. If they only fulfil these two commandments of love for God and their neighbour, then the darkness in which they still walk will also clear up, and then they will also always be able to be given more light. And no human being will be able to deny that darkness is not a desirable state, every human being will feel more comfortable in the light of day than in the darkness of night. But people don’t know that they are spiritually in night, that the light which shines for them on earth does not illuminate their soul’s state, they don’t know that they cross over into the kingdom of the beyond in the deepest night when they leave earth in this state. They don’t know that their thoughts are completely confused in that kingdom if they haven’t first already received a small light within themselves with which they can then help themselves on, through which they can find the right path which can still lead them upwards on the other side. To enter the kingdom of the beyond completely without light is a terrible fate for the soul, and it is without light as long as it is without truth, without knowledge about itself and its relationship to God. And if it can already be informed of this in earthly life, if the human being tries to clarify his thoughts and to enter into the right relationship with God, then he can already record a plus for eternity, then he will enter the spiritual kingdom with a small ray of light, and he will find his way more easily and be grateful to have at least gained this degree of light on earth. And you should help your fellow human beings who have already received a light from God yourselves, who know about God’s love for all His living creations …. that He wants to convey the light of truth to all who only want to accept it. Offer yourselves to Him for cooperation, be active for Him as bearers of light, save your fellow human beings from that dreadful lot of deepest darkness and help them to catch some rays of light from the divine light of love by conveying His word to them, by trying to make their purpose of existence understandable to them and by encouraging them to make contact with the one Who created them …. by trying to make them believe that their God and creator also wants to be their ‘father’ and that He has also shown Himself to you as a ‘father’ through His gift of grace …. that He kindled a light in you out of love …. Try to transfer your faith to your fellow human beings and explain to them that only love is decisive whether they reach their aim on earth or not …. And always point them to Jesus Christ, Who died for this on the cross, that every human being can reach his aim if he wants to …. that only the will needs to be ready to receive light and strength in abundance, that Jesus Christ Himself brought the light to earth in order to show people the path out of darkness upwards to the eternal light …. Warn your fellow human beings against indifference towards their souls, who will one day bitterly regret not having followed the light which again and again shone before them in earthly life. People still believe to walk in the light because they still have their earthly life, but an infinitely long night will follow this life, and God wants to protect all His living creations from its horrors, who can also look for the light on earth of their own free will and who will then also certainly find it when they want to flee the night, when they long for the light of day ….
Amen

The right soul doctor ….
B.D. 6778 from March 8th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Every sick person needs healing medicine if he wants to recover and let his body become fresh and strong again in order to be able to fulfil his duties on earth …. And thus the sick soul also requires healing medicine which helps it to gain strength in order to likewise be able to fulfil the task it has been given for earthly life. It is sick and weak when it begins life as a human being, and it has an ascent ahead of it for which it needs strength. (8.3.1957) Therefore healing must be brought to it, it must entrust itself to a doctor and helper who knows its illnesses, who now administers the right medicine through which it can recover. It must enjoy strong nourishment in order to also gain strength and now also be able to cover the ascent to the heights. And there is only one doctor who can truly help it, who knows all its sufferings and weaknesses and who has the right medicine ready for all: It is Jesus Christ, the saviour and redeemer from sin and death …. And there is only one healing nourishment which He administers to the sick soul: His word, which alone puts the soul into the state that it can now powerfully walk the path upwards, which lets it reach the aim for the purpose of which it was allowed to embody itself on earth. For this word is the bread which comes from heaven, which divine love distributes with a hand of blessing, which truly lets every sick soul recover when it is gratefully received from the hand of Jesus Christ …. the creator and father of eternity …. when the soul refreshes itself with it, when it truly enjoys flesh and blood, the word, which flows constantly as God’s flow of grace and is accessible to everyone who feels hunger and thirst, who is sick and weak and needs bread and wine in order to regain strength …. His word is the right medicine for the sick soul, and it is the source of strength for the healthy but still weak soul, for just as the human soul on earth is made up …. it constantly needs food and drink, it will never be able to do without nourishment because it shall mature in earthly life and for this it always requires strength which alone can flow to it through the word of God. And if a person is aware of his weakness, if he recognizes that his soul is still sick and in need of a doctor, then he will also turn to the one Who offers him a certain guarantee that he will be helped …. He will entrust himself to Jesus Christ and appeal for recovery, he will admit his weakness and inadequacy to Him and lean on Him, for he knows that he will find support with Him, that Jesus Christ as a physician of the soul is also willing to give him what his soul needs …. He knows that His healing hand only needs to stretch out so that he will become healthy and that He will continue to administer the right nourishment to it. And he will accept His word, he will draw strength from His word again and again and soon also experience the effect of the divine word on himself …. For a divine gift does not remain ineffective. But anyone who does not recognize his soul’s illnesses will not supply it with the right medicine either, and it will remain weak and miserable, it will not be able to manage the ascent upwards, and furthermore it will also be without nourishment, for the right nourishment for the soul is only the word of God. And thus it can be that a soul, at the end of its earthly life, is still just as meagre and weak as it entered earth …. For it can indeed be meagre and completely powerless but it cannot pass away …. And in this state it must now also enter the spiritual kingdom where it will bitterly feel its inadequacy. But again and again the saviour of the sick and weak approaches people, again and again He offers Himself to help them recover, again and again He lets the flow of strength to earth from which all sick souls could draw strength …. And truly, the sickness and weakness will be taken away from every soul which entrusts itself to the saviour and redeemer Jesus Christ. And the remorse of those will be bitter who passed Him by and never made use of His medical help, for they will remain sick and weak and thus also enter the kingdom of the beyond in this way ….
Amen

Reminder not to slacken in vineyard work ….
B.D. 6779 from March 9th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
Humanity needs constant wake-up calls, for again and again it falls back into a sleep of death from which, however, it shall awaken to life in order to still be able to eagerly work on the soul …. And therefore this also requires constant work on the part of My servants, again and again to rouse people and to make them aware of the significance of their earthly life and to encourage them to start working, which is urgent because there is not much time left for it. No one of My vineyard labourers should believe that he has done enough once he has let his wake-up call resound …. Again and again he shall try to shoo the sleep from them, which holds them captive and from which they can escape with difficulty. I well know that again and again you have to record failures, but nevertheless you shall not grow weary, for it is the preliminary work you do so that they know why it happens, that I stir them up from their rest with a voice of thunder if they don’t wake up beforehand and turn to the most important work: to transform themselves as it corresponds to My will. People shall not be surprised in deep sleep, and therefore you shall repeatedly sound wake-up calls beforehand, you shall draw their attention to what is coming, you shall inform them that they will not be allowed to enjoy their rest for much longer, that they will have to be forcibly awakened if they don’t listen to you and comply with your words. But you shall not let them rest …. For they are in a very difficult situation, they are constantly losing more and more strength because their earthly life will soon be over and therefore they will also lose the vitality they still possess and could therefore be active if it were their will. But it lies idle as long as they keep the sleep of death, as long as they don’t strive for any spiritual life and use their life energy to acquire spiritual goods. And the whole of humanity is already in a state of torpor, except for the few who heeded the wake-up calls and desire to live …. But these shall remember their fellow human beings and help them to also find life …. And therefore you should not stop proclaiming to them what I charge you with: that in not much longer time I will let My voice resound loudly and audibly …. For this day draws ever closer and it will be the beginning of the end. For it precedes the last end like a shadow. But the end means an infinitely long night from which there will no longer be such an awakening as is still possible now through My voice, which will certainly sound exceedingly loud and terrible and therefore still be able to bring people to awakening. And then individuals can still pursue their activity with increased eagerness and seriously prepare themselves for the end which will follow shortly afterwards. But then night will irrevocably fall upon all people who ignore this wake-up call …. Then they will truly sink into a sleep of death from which there will be no awakening for an infinitely long time. You, who as My servants have entrusted your services to Me, should remember that you cannot mention the forthcoming events often enough to your fellow human beings …. For every soul that follows your wake-up call will thank you eternally that you saved it from that endless long night …. People don’t know what hardship they are in, and they will not believe your ideas either. But My last intervention can still bring them to their senses if they realize that your words were truth, which will then return to their memory and no longer remain without impression. Therefore, don’t let any opportunity pass you by, don’t fear the ridicule or ill-will of your fellow human beings, always remember that you are already standing in the light of day and that you no longer need to fear the darkness, whatever may come, but that an unspeakably agonizing fate awaits those if you don’t succeed in rousing them from their sleep of death. Love and compassion shall motivate you to speak on My behalf again and again, but you should never believe that you have done enough, for as long as the earth still exists the souls must still be fought for so that they will not succumb to My adversary’s power ….
Amen

Aspiring to the spiritual gifts ….
B.D. 6780 from March 10th 1957, taken from Book No. 72
You should all strive for the gifts of the spirit, for they alone are the sign of belonging to My church which I founded on earth …. And already the serious will to belong to this church of Mine opens your heart to receive My spiritual gifts. For through this will the spirit in you will be prompted to express itself to you: He will, for the time being, stimulate you into loving activity. And this is a sure sign of the divine spirit in you, because it is love itself and therefore also expresses itself through stimulation into loving activity. And if you comply with this impulse the spirit will truly give you unusual consideration, it will illuminate your thinking, and enlightened thinking is a spiritual gift which cannot be valued highly enough …. when you now understand everything and can even explain everything which was previously incomprehensible to you, when you understand My word …. be it written or spoken …. as My direct address and it is clearly understandable to you. You can all acquire this spiritual gift because it is possible for all of you to practice love and thus only the serious will is required to belong to Me and My church. And the more intimately you want to enter into a bond with Me, the more your love will burn within you, the more you will also challenge My working of the spirit, and then obvious expressions of the spirit will give you the evidence that My promise will be fulfilled: “My spirit will guide you into all truth and remind you of everything I have told you ….” You will be able to draw the deepest knowledge from within yourselves, the ‘spirit of God’ will visibly work in you and His gifts will also be recognizable to your fellow human beings. And depending on the strength of your faith you will also be capable of unusual activity with your fellow human beings, you will be able to work miracles, heal the sick, cast out devils and truly also recall vanishing life, for nothing is impossible for the spirit from Me and thus it can also accomplish what seems impossible for you if your faith and love allow Me Myself to be present in you, thus I Myself can work through you. And thus you can also attain the prophetic gift that you know and see what I will let come upon you humans for the sake of your soul’s salvation …. and that you can now also admonish and warn your fellow human beings regarding these events, because you know that you only speak on My behalf and divest yourselves of everything that fills you with foresight. Gifts of the spirit are always expressions of the ignited spiritual spark in you which was able to unite with the eternal father-spirit, with Me Myself, through your free will to establish the connection with Me, to seek union with the one from Whom you once took your origin. And this bond is the characteristic of belonging to My church, the spiritual gifts are certain proof that you have striven for and found unity with Me, otherwise I Myself could not express Myself in you, neither in the form of enlightened thoughts nor through unusual knowledge or unusual achievements. But if you humans want to belong to My church, if you want to be members of that church which I Myself founded on earth, then you must also strive for the gifts of the spirit, for you can all do this if only you muster the serious will to do so, for this will already provides you with strength. And the spiritual spark within you will now constantly urge you to do what corresponds to My will; it will stimulate you to fulfil the commandments of love for God and your neighbour, it will let you recognize your shortcomings and faults and prompt you to work on yourselves …. But you must listen to his quiet voice and thus make an effort to comply with his urging …. And you will be allowed to receive glorious gifts of the spirit, for never again will the source dry up which your own will has opened up in yourselves …. The strength of the spirit will fill you and the attainment of the aim on earth will truly be certain for you ….
Amen
