Book 73 · BD 6795–6830
God wants to reveal Himself to every human being ….
B.D. 6795 from March 31th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
I Myself speak to you, your God and father of eternity, if only it is your will to hear Me. Whether you still live on earth or already in the kingdom of the beyond, you constantly need strength in order to ascend. And I convey this strength to you in the form of My word, which touches you all miraculously and your soul also noticeably feels the influx of strength. And truly, everything spiritual would already have reached the ascent if it would use this great grace to let Me speak to itself. But people and also the still immature souls in the kingdom of the beyond lack faith in this, faith in My infinite love which seeks contact with you …. (3/31/1957) You well know that you are the creations of a power, and you are told that this power is supremely perfect, that It works in love and wisdom …. But you have no proof of this as long as you have not yet established the connection with this Power yourselves …. And you, in turn, do not establish this connection because you have no proof that it is love and wisdom in itself. And therefore I continue to seek the connection with you …. and indeed I speak to you even if you don’t believe yet. For because you yourselves are completely ignorant as a result of your former fall into the abyss, you now need to be instructed about what you lack in knowledge, but especially about your connection with your God and creator and about your earthly task. Therefore my word is sent to you which can truly give you the brightest realization if you accept it in your heart and then also become active according to My word …. And my word is conveyed to every person once, I always try to force Myself into the human being’s heart, yet not by force because this would be futile …. But where I have found entrance into a person’s heart the bond is also established, and now I can speak with increased effect, now I can speak to the person like a father to his child, and I try to achieve this bond because then every guarantee is also given that the person will receive information about My true nature and that he will then also kindle love within himself for his God and father of eternity. I reveal Myself in the word, for I don’t want people to remain ignorant, that they leave the earth in the same state of lightlessness as when they entered it …. I want to impart knowledge to them, gifts, to such an extent that they will be able to love the power Which created them, for only love sets them free from all bondage, from all darkness and all weakness …. And if they are now able to show love towards Me then they will also voluntarily do what I demand of them through My word; they will keep My commandments of love and thereby attain the light. Only My word can achieve this, only if I can address a person can his state of darkness be changed, but never by his fellow human beings’ teachings, no matter how wise, which are not based on My word …. And even if my word is conveyed to the human being by fellow human beings, he himself must now give Me the opportunity to address him. He must …. prompted by this transmission …. mentally connect with Me, and then I Myself can speak to him and my word will not fail to have an effect. Only then will the human being be able to believe without proof, and he will voluntarily submit himself to the power Which created him, he will surrender himself to It, and then the resistance will be broken which greatly prevented My bestowal of love …. Then the evidence of My love will constantly flow to the human being …. Light and strength and unusual abilities will now become evident in him, he will increase in wisdom, and the close bond with Me, which also results in unusual activity of love, will also cause all those powers and abilities to emerge in the human being which he once possessed as a spiritual being as evidence of his divine origin but had lost due to his apostasy from Me …. But now the return to Me has taken place because the human being allowed himself to be addressed by Me and willingly followed My words …. because he believed them and learned to love Me, Who revealed Myself to him ….
Amen

Whoever remains in love ….' Strange gods ….
B.D. 6796 from April 1st 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Whatever causes you to form a bond with Me is a blessing for you humans, because the goal of your earthly life is to revoke your separation from Me which you once voluntarily endeavoured towards yourselves …. thus uniting with Me again of your own free will. And whatever helps you to do so is therefore good …. Hence the will to reach Me is decisive for achieving your goal on earth, and this determination also includes that you live a way of life that is pleasing to Me, for being of sincere will you will never want to sadden Me again, you will never delight in sin if your will and your love are intended for Me.
But the connection with Me can only be achieved by practising love, because where love exists I Am present Myself. ‘Whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him ….’ Without love there can be no bond with Me, no matter how loudly and eagerly the mouth would like to affirm its will for Me. Only love is the evidence of this, for love and I are the same, and acknowledging Me and fulfilling My will is the same as working with love ….
You humans should know that no-one can and will approach Me if he lives without love …. Only love connects us, and love demonstrates the rejection of My adversary and return to Me …. With your fall into the abyss you turned away from Me and rejected My love, thus you also became completely heartless. Your change of will on earth therefore has to consist of your desire to be illuminated by Me again and of igniting love in yourselves again which will unite you with Me once more.
The more sincere your determination, the more you will think of Me, of your God and Creator of eternity, Who wants to be recognised and loved by you as a Father. And soon your thoughts will be engrossed in Me, for then I will not leave you again, I will not release you anymore, I will constantly court your love because love is the most solid bond between us which cannot be undone again by any hostile power.
I want to own all your love …. you shall not have any other gods beside Me …. you should not strive for anything else with the same love, for whatever you endeavour or love in your innermost being that is your God …. irrespective of whether it concerns honour and fame, earthly possessions or even the people you love …. You must not value anything more than Me, I want to be to you the highest and most desirable Being in heaven and on earth. I want your whole heart, and as long as you still share it, the bond with Me is not yet established, for whatever fills your heart stands between Me and you ….
Every person’s will is free, he can turn wherever he wants, but the goal on earth will only have been accomplished when he turns to Me. But there is great danger in the fact that the human being considers many things desirable and that My adversary places everything before his eyes to prevent him from forming this heartfelt bond with Me …. and that he also brings additional gods close to the person just to divert his thoughts from Me, for they are all strange gods permeating a person’s thoughts if I Myself Am not the essence of his innermost thoughts ….
Therefore you humans should seriously scrutinise who or what moves you most, you should ask yourselves whether you are as close to Me as a child is to its father, whether the connection with Me is your first and only goal …. and you should push everything from your thoughts which stands between Me and you, you should give Me first place in your heart and make no concessions whatsoever. For your return to Me can only take place through the unification with Me, and you have to seek and find this of your own free will, because no-one else can establish it on your behalf ….
Amen

Every soul must find Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6797 from April 3rd 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Every soul thanks you, which was led through you to Jesus Christ as its redeemer from sin and death …. For He alone can open the gate to life for it, He alone can lead it into the kingdom of light to eternal beatitude. But as long as it has not yet found Him it wanders around unhappily when it has arrived in the kingdom of the beyond, its thoughts become confused, its surroundings are devoid of light and its own state is agonizing because it sorely misses the vitality it now lacks but feels the agony of its lack of strength and its state. For this reason it is the greatest work of love and mercy you can accomplish on a person while he is still on earth if you acquaint him with Jesus Christ, if you make it clear to him that he may not pass Him by if he does not want to endanger himself and meet an unhappy fate after the death of his body. All people you come into contact with know Him, yet their attitude towards Him leaves much to be desired, they know Him but do not evaluate this knowledge, they have certainly heard of Him as redeemer of the world but His act of salvation is not a true concept for them. They know about His death on the cross but only consider it in a purely earthly way and are hardly aware of its spiritual significance …. They also do not have the inner bond with Him and therefore do not take the path to the cross, they do not feel like sinners and therefore do not ask for forgiveness of their sins either …. They do not recognize the eternal deity Himself in Jesus Christ and therefore do not call upon Him in full faith either. And therefore they remain burdened by guilt and enter the beyond with this guilt, without light and without strength, for they have not yet attained the life which can only be given to them by Jesus Christ. And then their earthly life was also an idle one and did not bring them any success, it did not bring them closer to God, Who walked across earth in the man Jesus …. These souls will be unhappy when they arrive in the kingdom of the beyond, and they will not be blissfully happy until they have taken the path to Him on the other side. But even in the kingdom of the beyond they are often unteachable when it comes to the problem of Christ, and it requires a lot of love and perseverance on the part of those who want to help them, be they beings of light or people on earth who want to help the souls. But anyone who lovingly takes care of such a soul will also succeed in imparting so much light and strength to it that it will strengthen its will and that it will listen without resistance when it is informed about Jesus Christ, and that it will now no longer resist calling upon Him for love and mercy either …. It has to find Him in the kingdom of the beyond, and Jesus Christ can also be found …. He comes to meet every soul, but only if it has given up its hard resistance, if it looks around helplessly and begs for salvation, if it is aware of its weakness and now listens attentively to what is conveyed to it by beings willing to help or by people on earth …. Then Jesus Christ Himself will force Himself into its thinking and truly make it easy for the soul to believe in Him …. But the first step has to be taken by the soul itself, and in order for it to take this first step it has to be helped by people on earth or by beings of light in the spiritual kingdom through loving intercession or through everlasting instructions. It must find its way to Jesus Christ …. otherwise there is no beatitude for it …. But it is extremely grateful to those who helped it to salvation. And precisely the great hardship awaiting such a soul in the beyond, which has not yet found Him, should prompt you humans to repeatedly mention His mission on earth, so that fellow human beings will still find Him on earth and not pass over into the spiritual kingdom without light …. so that Jesus Christ Himself will now come to meet them and open the gates to paradise …. that they will only be relieved of their great burden of sin for the time being, but only Jesus Christ Himself can take it away from them and therefore He has to be recognized and acknowledged as God and redeemer of the world ….
Amen

Unusual gift of grace in view of the end ….
B.D. 6798 from April 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
An unusual wave of grace pours over humanity through the direct supply of my word from above. For information is given about the greatest secrets which are therefore secrets for people because they lack the light of knowledge. And their lack of knowledge can also lead them to completely erroneous opinions as long as one mistaken person tries to instruct the other. And if the secrets are to be revealed to humanity then I Myself must do so, because only from Me can the pure truth reach you, because I alone know everything and can also explain the correlations to you, because I alone can kindle a light where darkness still reigns. For it concerns spiritual knowledge, it concerns things which you are not able to explain intellectually. It concerns areas which are and will remain closed to you as a human being until the One grants you insight, the lord is this kingdom …. until I Myself convey the knowledge of it to you …. And in this unusual grace you humans are now standing because the end is near …. I convey knowledge to you which is actually only yours when you have acquired it through loving activity. However, the nearness of the end, the great spiritual adversity, prompts Me to offer you humans a ‘gift’, and even those people who have not yet attained the spiritual maturity which is the prerequisite to receive such knowledge directly from Me may enrich themselves with it …. For I give these people the opportunity to let their intellect become active now, so that they will now deal with the solution of spiritual problems by way of intellect and then humbly bow their hearts before the one Who reveals such secrets to them. For as long as the different schools of thought are still in dispute, as long as people only conjecture but do not know, the significance of their earthly life cannot be made understandable to them either, and they are only interested in what is provable to them. But no human being can deny a creator of heaven and earth …. However, only when they recognize a purpose of creation and a purpose and meaning of their earthly life as a human being will they make an effort to live this earthly life consciously. And My bestowal of grace is only intended to help thinking people find an acceptable explanation for the creations and their motive as well as for the relationship of all created things …. thus also of the human being …. to its creator. This is an unusual gift of grace, because people themselves do not demand such a solution to the greatest mystery. But it will be brought to them, and depending on the evaluation of this knowledge it will now also have an unusual, blessed effect or remain entirely without effect. Thus the human being’s will will not be forced by unusual knowledge but he will be granted a special grace even without his desire. The being, which itself was responsible for its spiritual blindness, is unusually supported to become sighted again. A knowledge is imparted to it which it originally possessed but carelessly gave away and now it wanders aimlessly in a state of darkness and again and again ends up on wrong paths if a bright light does not illuminate the right path for it. So I do not look at people’s will to defend themselves, yet I come to meet them …. I give them a light, I lift the veil that is before their eyes, I stimulate the intellect where the heart does not strive towards the light of its own accord. But I do not force the will of man …. But the unusual gift of grace can be the key to the gate of eternal life for you humans, for everything is explained to you in such a way that it is acceptable and that you now take an affirmative attitude towards problems which you previously ignored completely because they were insoluble for you …. And you can now also find the right attitude towards Me in Jesus Christ …. For the pure truth enlightens you as soon as you are of good will ….
Amen

'Judgment' …. The Word Itself will pass judgment ….
B.D. 6799 from April 6th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
One day you will all have to justify yourselves as to how you valued My Word which was offered to you by My love. And the Word Itself will be your judge. But understand this correctly: No punishing judge will put you on trial; you will merely be transferred to where you belong according to your state of maturity. And your state of maturity will, in turn, correspond to your way of life on earth, as to how your will allowed itself to be influenced by My Word. For you either entered into heartfelt contact with Me as a result of My Words of love intended for you or you rejected them again, leaving your soul unable to change its shape, therefore it can only dwell in such spheres which also correspond to its nature. The Word Itself will judge you, for it was given to you by My divine love and irrevocably had to help you attain full maturity if it were accepted …. Yet the rejection of My Word is also a rejection of Me Myself, and this repeated rejection can only result in staying in dark spheres again, because the soul itself shied away from the light and preferred the darkness. My Word is light and anyone who rejects it will never reach the light …. But since the human being’s will is free it also voluntarily determines the judgment, namely the state which corresponds to his resistance and which cannot be called a free one. The soul will be ‘judged’, that is, it will be moved to where it belongs …. And sooner or later every person will be offered My Word, everyone will be able to hear it wherever public sermons are given on behalf of Me and My kingdom. And I also approach those in My Word who are outside of church communities, who are thus already on the defensive because they are not approached in the right way …. Others, again, will become receptive to My direct inner communication as a result of conversations or the reading of books, and their thoughts will be guided such that they can deliberate on them …. I try in every way to enter people’s hearts in order to stimulate them to listen to My Word regardless of where and how it is proclaimed, because the human being’s will decides whether the Word has an effect on him. However, the hour of accountability will come sooner or later, the hour which reveals the state of the soul, and this state will also place it into its appropriate sphere …. And thus it will have been judged, because time and time again order will have to be re-established ….
But blessed are those who listen to Me and My Word, who endeavour to live according to My will which is revealed to them through My Word …. Blessed are they, for they will also be judged and their judgment will mean the hour of entry into unimaginable beatitudes for them, for they, too, will be assigned to spheres according to their nature and My Word will have helped them to attain a garment of light, so that they then may move within the inconceivable abundance of light without ceasing to exist. And light is beatitude …. Understand this correctly, no merciless judge carries out his duty and plunges the soul into darkness, instead it is a self-chosen destiny which every soul is approaching, but understand also that this harsh and agonising fate can be averted by willingly accepting My Word and complying with it …. and that therefore the ‘Word Itself’ will pass judgment on every soul. And this judgment will happen in all righteousness, for every thought, every activity, the right and the wrong love …. will be revealed and determines the fate of every individual soul. However, if My Word is accepted then the transformation of soul will take place on earth already and thus it need not fear the judgment because it will only result in light and bliss, whereas the rejection of My Word will even thicken the darkness surrounding the soul and it will enter the spiritual kingdom utterly misshapen, consequently its fate cannot be any other than lack of light and agony ….
Amen

Father-child relationship with God ….
B.D. 6800 from April 7th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
You enter into the right relationship with Me when you see your Father in Me and not merely your God and Creator of eternity …. For I want you to become children who entrust themselves to their Father with love; I don’t just want to be feared and revered but be wholeheartedly loved, so as to be able to delight you with My infinite love. I want to achieve a true Father-child relationship, because this is supported by love for Me. When I created you, I was only able to externalise you as created beings, even though I furnished you with all gifts to the highest extent …. I was indeed able to permeate you with My burning, all-consuming love but I was unable to force you into accepting this love and responding in kind, because such reciprocated love could not be as pleasing to Me as the love freely granted to Me by My child …. Only love bestowed upon Me in free will induces happiness, and I constantly invite My living creations on earth to grant Me this kind of love, because this love will also result in their inconceivable bliss. The beings, having voluntarily remained with Me when the great fall of the originally created beings happened, can certainly also be called inconceivably happy, for they are constantly permeated by My love and thus they are also glowing with love …. Nevertheless, the degree of love and bliss between them and My true children differs, but the former can still attain this degree if they likewise voluntarily travel the path which allows them to attain the childship to God as well …. the path across earth for the purpose of a mission …. In that case in the beginning they consider themselves, like any other person, as God’s ‘living creation’ and must establish the relationship of a ‘child with its Father’ of their own free will. However, every person is capable of doing so, every person need only hand himself over to the Power he can acknowledge as God and Creator, if he is of good will …. As a result of the human being’s devotion to this Power the ‘Father’ will take hold of His child and draw it to Himself. Then the child will lose all shyness, all fear of him, then it will trustingly come to Me and start to love Me with the love of a child which feels a close bond with its Father but which also submits itself to Him with profound humility, which does not want to sadden Him but also desire His love, otherwise it is not happy …. Then all its thoughts and intentions will be inclined towards Me and the hitherto existing separation will be revoked, then My ‘living creation’ will have become My ‘child’ and the goal I set Myself when I created it will have been achieved. And the goal you were given for your life on earth is to establish this true Father-child relationship with Me …. As long as I Am merely your God and Creator, Whom you certainly revere and fear, you will still be very distant from Me, for then you will still lack the right kind of love which urges you towards Me and also recognises the Father in Me …. My illumination of love cannot as yet affect you to the extent that it kindles your love and thus love will strive towards love. The love of a child for the ‘Father’ is a different love than you feel for your God and Creator. True love always seeks unification, and the union with Me will always ever be one of the child with its Father, because I Am, after all, your Father from Whose love you emerged …. And once you have established the correct relationship you will also know how close I Am to you and how much I participate in My child’s every experience, even the smallest …. And you will even come to Me with the smallest request yourselves, because you will lose all shyness towards the One Whom you love and honour as your Father …. because you hand yourselves over to him with childlike trust and this love will not deny itself, it will constantly give pleasure to the child which has found its way home to the Father and is devoted to him with burning love ….
Amen

Satan's and the demons' activity during the last days ….
B.D. 6801 from April 8th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
All demons will be unleashed during the last days of the end; hell will spat out its most evil spirits and the prince of darkness will transfer his thoughts onto them to act destructively amongst people on earth. And you humans will be living in the midst of his domain and will be in constant danger of being devoured by hell and its forces …. But they cannot compel you …. as yet it is still up to you to let them be victorious or to defend yourselves against their onslaughts and you will truly not be at their mercy because the good spiritual world will also stand by your side, it will merely wait for your call in order to be able to help you. All hell will have broken loose and God’s adversary will know that he won’t have much time left and will really make every possible use of this final time of his. And many hellish forces will take possession of people if they don’t resist them, if they themselves delight in the conduct by the evil world. The demons will try to take control of their own kind, they will take possession of their body and then commit truly evil things, and that alone is a sure sign of the end …. For only too often they will have an easy game, people will follow their suggestions only too willingly and scrupulously accomplish what the former demand of them. The prince of darkness will have truly gained great power over people, and therefore his activity will become ever more obvious, after all, he believes himself able to win the final battle against God. Consequently he will not leave any stone unturned in order to incite people against God, he will not even shy away from assailing those who want to work for God, he will use his accomplices to cause them grief with the intention to destroy their faith in God and he will try to extinguish any light coming forth from God …. His arrogance will know no bounds and thus he will exalt himself above God to an extent that it will result in a speedy end to his activity.
However, people will be drawn into this battle and should prove themselves therein. For they will not be without knowledge about God’s love and power and will be able to call upon Him for protection and help in every adversity, which then will definitely be granted to them. Thus no human being will need to be afraid of this coming adversity and pressure on part of the dark world, because the path to God is open for everyone and no person can be prevented from taking it. The demonic activity is also easily distinguishable by every individual and would be able to make them think. And, thus, these forces will fight in vain wherever people are of good will, because they are on God’s side and the world of light will form a wall around them. You humans should indeed be careful and always on your guard but you need not be fearful, for your resolve will banish the danger or defend against it …. And therefore the direction of your will depends entirely on you. Every look you take into the adversary’s realm is noticed by his vassals who constantly entice you ever deeper into their domain. This is why great care is required but all those who have the serious will to resist them are also guaranteed to receive strength. You can certainly be tempted but not be forced …. Nevertheless it will be and remain a fight for those of you who want to remain faithful to God, which will last until the end. You will be able to survive it and emerge victorious, for you can expect as much protection and help from God’s side as His adversary can gain influence over you, and you decide for yourselves to whom you concede more right. However, the activity of hell and its forces will be recognisable everywhere, and people more than ever will give way and hand themselves over to them. And therefore the time will come when God Himself will put a stop to His adversary’s activity and put him and his followers into chains, so that there will be peace again amongst people of good will ….
Amen

Life and death …. longing for God's love ….
B.D. 6802 from April 9th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
In a world of hatred and unkindness you should long for My love which will never be withheld from you, which you can receive from Me at any time because only your will is needed to accept it …. You should long for My warmth of love because you live in the coldest environment which is not suitable to give life or to sustain life but is like a tomb of death where everything that is still alive also comes to death. You should flee to Me of your own accord, to My heart, so that you are safe in My love. But only a few remember the one Who is always ready for them, Who wants to give them love in abundance. And only these few will come to life and also keep life. For only love guarantees life, but lack of love also means certain death. I would like to embrace all of you with My love so that you could arise to life, I would like to give all of you what you are so desperately lacking: a love in whose glow everything that has solidified comes to life. But as long as you still resist Me, as long as you don’t let yourselves be embraced by My love, you will also remain in a state of rigidity of death and you will never be able to come to life. But the world is still capable of suffocating every little spark of love, for My adversary reigns in it, who is completely devoid of love and also does everything in his power to imprint his nature in you, who incites people against each other and only ever impels them to think unkindly. And people are hostile towards each other, they try to take advantage of each other, they strengthen selfish love and will only ever strive for self-interest but never serve their neighbour in selfless love …. They are in the midst of the world but do not fight against its dangers, they let themselves be driven willy-nilly by the one who is without love …. And they don’t think of Me, Who in infinite love follows people’s goings-on and wants to help them to leave the area of death and turn towards life. And only love will ever achieve this, only love will give life and truly make people happy, for unkindness will never be able to provide true happiness. And it should truly not be a question for you humans Who can give you true happiness. You should not look for it in the world but in Me, Who is love and life from eternity and can truly also give you life if you allow Me to radiate My love into you, if you no longer resist it yourselves but voluntarily open your hearts to Me, if you come to Me yourselves and desire to be safe in My love. And from that moment on you will also feel the life within you, you will truly be reborn because My flame of love has also ignited in you and everything that was dead in you will come to life. And now you indeed still live in the midst of the world but yet no longer in the realm of death, and your warmth of love is also able to give life to the dead, which you embrace and want to snatch from its rigidity of death. For the fire of love has great strength, and a loving person is able to carry out great rescue work even in seemingly dead territory. For a loving person is always in contact with Me and thus also constantly draws this strength …. Thus he can also turn My love to the numb as a mediator where I Myself cannot find access …. Yet My fountain of love is inexhaustible and blessed those who come to it themselves, who want to come to life and therefore take refuge in My proximity in order to escape death …. Their hope of finding life with Me will never be disappointed, for I spread My arms in ardent love and draw all to My heart who suffer from the unkindness of their fellow human beings, who long for love and therefore press towards Me, Who now truly also kindles the spark of love in their hearts to the highest fervour ….
Amen

What is love …. love power? ….
B.D. 6803 from April 10th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
The tiniest living being experiences My love which helps it forward on the path to ascent. And I never withdraw My love from it because then it would cease to be. And thus every human being can also know himself loved by Me or he would not be able to enjoy his life, for only My strength of love ensures his existence as well as the existence of the whole of creation. But you humans don’t know what you should imagine by ‘My strength of love’ as long as you have not yet kindled love within yourselves in order to then also be able to accomplish things ‘by virtue of this love’ which seem supernatural to you. And as long as you are unable to imagine Me Myself as the being Whose fundamental substance is ‘love’. You humans only attain a low degree of love …. And therefore you also lack the understanding for the activity of individual people on earth who tried to increase their degree of love and who thus make use of the ‘strength of love’ for the benefit of their fellow human beings. The higher degree of love alone is an explanation, but again only for people who are willing to love themselves. Thus those people work with My strength, they, as it were, convey My strength to their fellow human beings who are in need of it, be it physically or spiritually. And therefore they can help the sick to recover, they can supply strength to the weak again, they can give light to blind souls and impart knowledge to them …. They can heal physically and spiritually …. and only ever by using the strength of love from Me …. You humans can only believe this, for you will not understand it until you are also so filled with love that My nature becomes a little more comprehensible to you. For you still only regard ‘love’ as a characteristic which one person has and the other lacks. Love, however, is something intrinsic, it is the all-emerging strength and therefore the ‘original substance of God’ …. For I Myself am ‘love‘ …. As long as you humans stay on earth you are in an area where lack of love predominates, which therefore also means lack of strength and complete ignorance of that strength Which brought everything into being and sustains everything. But every human being is free to let love flare up in him to a high degree. Then he will take on his original nature again, then there will be no limits to his abilities, then the same power will be stimulated in him which enables him to create and shape …. Then there will be no earthly laws which impose a limitation on him, for then he will work with Me and My strength, which only a certain degree of love will cause to be released, because My divine laws have to be complied with and this is precisely a divine law, that love alone is the source of strength but that it is never exhausted. Only a few people will understand this, but all should make an effort to increase their degree of love, because then a light of realization will also be kindled in them which will also make the essence of love comprehensible to them. Everything you see, as well as yourselves, is held by My love, it is permeated by My strength of love, albeit in different strengths, otherwise it could no longer exist. But you yourselves can consciously catch this ray of love and increase your degree of light, you can acquire the strength of My love, you can request it or acquire it yourselves through loving activity, and you will now also be able to work unusually. So you will be powerful through love and now use your power again in love. And you will be able to constantly increase the degree of love and thus increasingly more align yourselves with My fundamental being, and then the term ‘love’ will also be fully comprehensible to you, and you will know that everything which is love has to be addressed as divine …. so that you will now also recognize your God and creator, your father of eternity, as ‘eternal love’ ….
Amen

Work of love and mercy of Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6804 from April 11th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
For all people I shed My blood, for all I suffered, and for all I died on the cross …. No human being is excluded from My act of salvation, for all people are burdened with sin which keeps the gate into the kingdom of light closed to them. And therefore all people are wretched who cannot find forgiveness from this great sin of their past apostasy from Me. Nevertheless, every person is free to make use of My act of salvation. For people were not redeemed abruptly when My act of mercy was accomplished, instead, it also requires the consent of the human being himself in order to be considered redeemed, otherwise there would truly be no being left on earth and also in the spiritual kingdom which still walked along under the burden of sin. But the human being’s free will can never be eliminated, everyone must freely confess Me in Jesus Christ and thus also My act of salvation, and then everyone must also avail himself of the blessings of the act of salvation in order to become free from his burden of sin. Hence people’s free will explains the spiritual low in which they find themselves despite My sacrifice on the cross …. For only very few people consciously stand by Me, by their divine saviour and redeemer of the world. The majority, however, take little notice of the greatest act of love and mercy that has ever taken place on this earth, although they are not unaware of it. They have an immeasurable treasure of grace at their disposal which they pass by, which they do not evaluate, which does not at all tempt them to take a closer look at it ….. And they don’t know what they are forfeiting through their indifference, they don’t know what an unbearable fate they will have to take upon themselves after their physical death through their own fault. For they enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed when they could have found complete redemption on earth …. What I as the man Jesus have taken upon Myself in terms of pain and suffering, in terms of abuse and bitterness, in terms of hostility and hateful actions, I only did out of love for you in order to atone for you, in order to pay off your guilt of sin …. I wanted to suffer for you in order to turn away from you the effect of your sins, I wanted to atone for them and thus redeem your guilt …. It was a measure of torment and suffering which you humans cannot measure, for what I did for you was superhuman …. It was truly a work of love and mercy, for I would not have been able to endure all this as a human being if My love for you had not given Me the strength …. and My love for you was infinitely great, and therefore I suffered and died for you …. And you humans need do nothing more than imagine My great love for once, think about what the man Jesus endured for your sake, you only need to imagine the agonies of His crucifixion, the maltreatment by His tormentors and His superhuman suffering and death on the cross …. and you should be seized by a fervent love for Him, Who endured for you all that you yourselves would have had to endure for the sake of your great sin …. And your love should now drive you to Him, to Whom you now repentantly hand over your guilt of sin, asking Him that He may also have shed His blood for you …. And you would be free from all guilt, you would recognize My great love for you, Who accomplished the work of salvation for you Myself in the human being Jesus. How easily you could acquire eternal life, how safely you could enter through the gates of the kingdom of light after the death of your body, if only you would avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation, if only you would remember Him Who accomplished this great act of love for you, and if only you would appeal to Him for strength where your own will is too weak …. if only you would entrust yourselves to Me in Jesus Christ with complete faith …. You must believe in Him as the divine saviour and redeemer, because then you will also acknowledge Me Myself, Who died in Him for you on the cross ….
Amen

The day of the end is set ….
B.D. 6805 from April 14th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
You are approaching the end with incontrovertible certainty …. And no matter how much you resist in thought you cannot stop it because God’s plan of salvation has been determined and everything unfolds in accordance with it, including world events which also contribute towards accelerating the course of events which lead to the process of dissolution of the earth’s creations. The end of this earth period has been foreseen since eternity, but the free will of man is the reason for it, which God also foresaw from eternity and was able to base His plan of salvation on it. It comes, as it was predicted by seers and prophets from the beginning of this redemption epoch, and people themselves offer their hands to it, for they completely step out of divine order. They are partly in a spiritual low that can no longer be surpassed and which alone justifies an end …. and partly in such arrogant thinking that they believe they can master divine laws of nature which, however, are still unknown to them. God Himself no longer finds access to these human hearts, otherwise they would desist from their activities and also be able to escape the spiritual blindness which, however, now holds them captive. And thus the fate of people and also of all created creatures is fulfilled, and everything is approaching a change which will usher in a new period of time again …. which will bring peace and harmony on earth again and guarantee safe ascent for the spiritual. But these predictions find little or no credence …. Humanity has not yet experienced such a transformation, and what lies far in the past has remained alien to people. They have no evidence of similar processes and therefore do not believe that they are threatened by events which signify a total transformation of all that has gone before. But time moves forward and the last day for this earth draws ever closer. And that is why God only directs this unusual knowledge to earth, to still shake up the few who have not yet completely sunk into the deep. The end will come irrevocably and the signs will still emerge so clearly that individual people will become apprehensive, and for them explanatory knowledge will also be a blessing because it will provide them with information which is credible to them …. For God does not want to let any person go astray, and as long as there is still a prospect of bringing salvation to a soul, the rescue attempts will not be abandoned either. But the day of the end is fixed, and according to divine law it will also be observed …. But people themselves would rather hasten the end than stop it, for their conduct proves that the low point has been reached which necessitates an end …. And as in the time of the flood of sin people walk blindly along …. as in the time of the flood of sin, they seek to extract treasures from the earth and make them useful to themselves, they unleash forces whose inconceivable effects are unknown to them. They themselves carry out what destruction means for the earth and all its creations. People close their ears to all warnings, they unflinchingly pursue their aims, and God has calculated this will into His plan of salvation and still made what happens through satanic influence serviceable for spiritual further development, so that His adversary unintentionally participates in the work of salvation, that he himself steers the process of development back on the right track against his will …. that the spiritual substance which he believes to have gained is once again wrested from him and his power and bound anew in creation and thus nevertheless walks the path upwards again, even if endless times are necessary until the aim is reached again: to be able to make the final decision as a human being …. And God foresaw all this, and seers and prophets repeatedly pointed to the end on His behalf …. Yet humanity has no idea how close it is to this end …. But God constantly sends it admonitions and warnings so that everyone who believes can prepare himself …. But for the unbeliever the end will be terrible ….
Amen

A gift of strength from God or from the enemy? ….
B.D. 6806 from April 15th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Whatever you start in earthly life you must experience My support if it is to be a blessing for you, for you can also work with My adversary’s support, but then every activity can only contribute towards the body’s well-being but never towards your soul’s salvation. For then you will have sold your soul to him and he will pay you for it with earthly goods, he will make everything easy for you which you tackle and he will also ensure your success. But then you will live your earthly life in vain, you will only serve him and completely submit yourselves to his will, and the end will be his renewed fall into the abyss which you had already left …. Therefore I admonish you again and again not to start anything without having invoked My blessing. I admonish you to constantly think of Me and request support from Me, and you will certainly receive it, for I don’t want you to turn to My adversary, and I will truly also give you what you desire, I will also provide for you earthly, because you first seek Me Myself and thereby prove your will turned towards Me. And you can also come to Me with the slightest request, I will not close My ear, for I always want to be your advisor and guide, I want you to always turn to Me, that you constantly regard Me as your father to Whom you can entrust yourselves like children, that you see in Me your friend and brother Who is always there for you, Who will never let you down, Who will always reward your trust …. But you should also think of your soul first, you should not regard earthly things as the most important but know that you only live on earth so that your soul will mature …. And if your salvation is close to your heart then you will be even closer to Me, and then My fatherly eye will watch over you and also protect you from the attacks of the enemy of your souls, from My adversary. For then I will have the right to place Myself protectively in front of you, which your devotion to Me grants Me …. for you must know that My adversary also has a right to you due to your past fall into sin, but that you yourselves have the freedom to choose your lord yourselves to whom you want to belong …. And this decision is your earthly task. My adversary, however, tries by all means to win you over or to keep you so that you will not escape from him. And therefore he entices you with earthly promises, with earthly goods, and he provides everyone with strength who is in bondage to him, and therefore he is usually very successful, for you humans think far more about your present fate than about the fate which awaits you in eternity. But I assure you that I will also give you strength if you request it from Me, for I also want to win you over for Myself so that I will never lose you again …. But I can only provide you with strength again if you request it from Me of your own free will, because I exclude all coercion. And you can always be certain that I will shape your earthly existence such that it will be bearable for you if only you adhere to Me, if it is your will to live in accordance with My will and if you let Me be your constant advisor and companion …. Then you will truly not lack strength, then My blessing will also rest on every earthly activity, then you will be able to achieve great things, and then your soul will also mature, for then your eyes will constantly be turned towards Me, Whom you recognize as your God and father, Who loves you and Whose love also wants to prepare a carefree earthly life for you, because you have consciously become His, because you separated yourselves from My adversary of your own free will and thus you have already passed your test of will on earth through your conscious devotion to Me …. And now you will constantly walk the earthly path with Me because you yourselves gave Me the right to be your companion on the path ….
Amen

Imperishable beings …. 'taking life itself' ….
B.D. 6807 from April 16th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Always and forever you will remain, for what has come forth from Me can no longer pass away eternally …. And therefore I cannot and will not destroy what opposes Me, although this is certainly possible by My power, but I will always seek to regain what turned away from Me in the will to rebel …. For My love for everything created by Me prevents complete destruction, which is why even My adversary …. the first-created and first-fallen spirit …. never has to fear destruction because he, too, belongs to those who shall return home again to their father’s house. I can certainly disapprove of his actions, I can brand his nature as being completely contrary to My eternal order and warn you humans against him …. I can do everything to protect you from his influence …. but I don’t withdraw My love from him either, only this ray of love does not hit him, i.e. it loses its effectiveness because My adversary opposes My illumination of love. But he, too, cannot remain in his resistance forever, he, too, will return to Me one day and live a life of utmost bliss, even though eternities will still pass until this change of will and return to Me …. But he cannot pass away …. Everything created by Me remains eternally. Therefore it is also unimportant to Me how long that which has fallen away from Me remains in its defence, for I am from eternity to eternity, for Me there is no time, and a thousand years are like a day before Me …. But it is significant for the being what periods of time it spends in utter wretchedness, in a state which cannot be called life and bliss …. And you humans would be horrified if you could look back and overlook your previous course of development and measure its endless time, for you neither ’emerged from nothing’ nor do you sink back into ‘nothingness’ with your bodily death ….. You continue to exist, you can only lose your ego-consciousness in great resistance and then have to cover endless long distances again in darkness and torment …. And if you finally return to self-awareness, you can still fail in this state and still have to struggle for eternities as a self-aware being in the beyond until the kingdom of light receives you and you ascend. But you will not perish …. And that is why you cannot extinguish your being as a human being, even if you make your physical shell unfit for further earthly progress, even if you believe that you can ‘take your life away’ ….. For your actual self remains in existence because the spiritual substance which once originated from Me cannot pass away. And thus you only interfere with My process of development which should bring you freedom from a state which is not life and bliss …. You act against My will, you act arbitrarily and wrongly, you deprive yourselves of the opportunities created for you in My plan of salvation …. You are, as it were, halting the course of your development and are also in great danger of sinking back into the abyss again if you don’t change your mind in the beyond and make use of the opportunities My love offers you there. You should seriously consider that you will always and forever continue to exist and therefore not treat your earthly life lightly either, which one day you will recognize as an unheard-of gift of grace because it could bring you final freedom. But people mostly lack faith in continued existence and therefore go through earthly life irresponsibly and don’t make use of the great gift of grace. And My adversary, who has distanced himself furthest from Me, encourages them in their unbelief in order to prevent the spiritual from attaining life in beatitude, which he himself has drawn into the abyss. But that is why the time he spends far away from Me will also become eternity for him. And even if he believes himself to be strong and mighty …. the time will come when he will lie weak and helpless on the ground, when he will wish for an end to himself and yet not be able to pass away …. And only then will he desire My illumination of love and also receive it, only then will he also awaken to life and return home to his father’s house ….
Amen

Shaping earth life fatefully ….
B.D. 6808 from April 17th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
However your earthly life may turn out, you will be held by My love and always guided such that you will be able to successfully cover it for your soul. People’s different destinies are also due to their different predispositions, everyone needs different aids, and the different situations in life therefore offer enough of them. But since you humans are used to seeing with earthly eyes you pay far more attention to physical than to spiritual success, and a difficult earthly fate rather appears to you as a lack of love on My part where it nevertheless testifies to increased love from Me. For I know where an evenly carefree life free of strokes of fate can lead to: to a flattening of the soul, to indifference towards everything, thus to a standstill of spiritual development. But I have given you life as a human being on this earth so that you should reach the ultimate aim of becoming free from every cover which still burdens the soul …. And therefore I also give you the possibilities to reach this aim which, however, you don’t recognize as such because your body often has to suffer or go without if the soul is to win. And in the last days before the end you will have to suffer particularly many harsh strokes of fate, for you will completely forget the purpose of your earthly life, you will only live for your body, for your earthly well-being, and you will completely ignore the soul. It has to live in want if I don’t come to its aid. But as soon as you humans also see (long for) My will, My fatherly care in suffering and hardship, in hard strokes of fate or in difficult situations in life, you will not feel everything so difficult, for then you will already be on the right path: You turn to Me in every adversity of body and soul, and then your soul will also derive the right benefit from all events which painfully affect the body. For whatever comes upon you, you can always feel safe in My love, you can know that you are cared for by My love and also fully trustingly expect that I will lead you out of every adversity …. For I truly neither lack love nor power, I only want to see the aim achieved that you direct your thoughts and eyes spiritually and not just pay attention to the world alone. For you can recognize clearly enough that I try to kill worldly desires in you through all kinds of strokes of fate …. And I know every individual person’s will, I know what he most longs for, and I also know what dangers threaten his soul if he is taken captive by the world, if he only lives for the world. And I know from eternity how every soul’s will is directed, and its earthly existence is determined according to this will, but without forcing this will in this or that direction …. Again and again he can use it freely and thus, as it were, also shape his earthly life according to his will …. Nevertheless, I will always let every event take effect in such a way that the soul can derive its advantages from it. The human being can certainly shape his earthly life and believe that he is in control of his own destiny. But he will never be able to determine the effect of his actions, because I Myself have reserved the right to help where the soul is in danger of falling completely flat. Yet even My plans of salvation, My visible guidance or even fateful interventions will never force but only guide or help the human being to remember his actual purpose of earthly life and his associated task. Therefore all difficulties of earthly life should not frighten the person who has already entered into a bond with Me, for they only serve him towards perfection, and he always knows a master Who can straighten out everything that is crooked. And the others shall learn to turn to that master, and they will only then desire or accept My help when they recognize their own lack of strength in great adversity. As long as people’s eyes and thoughts are not yet spiritually directed they often have to be touched harshly, it has to be proven to them that they themselves are not master of their life’s fate, that it is rather determined by another, and to this other they now have to hand themselves over …. Then even the most difficult earthly life need not frighten them, after all, it is only imposed on them by Me because I want to win their soul for a life of beatitude, which will make everything …. even the most difficult earthly fate, and will last forever ….
Amen

Experiencing the work of redemption in the hereafter ….
B.D. 6809 from April 19th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
No matter how the suffering and agony of My crucifixion and My death on the cross are described to you, you cannot measure the work of mercy and love I have accomplished for you …. But one day you will also be allowed to witness it, one day you will be able to experience everything for yourselves in retrospect, and only then will My infinite love be revealed to you which motivated Me to accomplish this act of salvation. For as soon as you have reached a certain degree of light there will no longer be any concept of time for you, and thus you will also be able to experience the past as present …. And you will be overwhelmed by an event which no human mouth is capable of reproducing and which no human intellect would be able to grasp if it were also described to you correctly. For the sufferings and torments were immeasurable …. because I, although human, suffered unspeakably from the filth of sin, which contradicted My pure, divine nature …. As a human being I nevertheless harboured the fullness of the eternal deity within Myself, thus I could not at the same time grant access to the adversary, who, however, approached Me via My tormentors and therefore caused Me to defend Myself to the utmost, so that My body and soul had to suffer torments which you humans cannot comprehend because the contrast between immaculateness and sin is hardly comprehensible to you …. My body, however, was still earthly oriented, it felt all sufferings and torments in excess, the soul resisted its oppressors and multiplied the torments many times over, (suffered the torments even far more), for it looked into the deepest hell, it faced the greatest depravity, it saw into abysses which made it shudder, and all its fears and terrors were still transferred to the body, so that truly every other human being would not have had to suffer the death of the cross, because he would have already lost his earthly life under the hands of his tormentors …. Yet I also took pity on them, for I knew that they were under My adversary’s control and thus were acting out against Me on his behalf. And therefore I wanted to take upon Myself the greatest measure of suffering, therefore I wanted to complete the act of salvation in order to also bring salvation to those, in order to also release those from his control …. What took place on the day of My crucifixion on earth takes place again and again in the spiritual kingdom, evident to all souls which stand in the light and again and again praise My love and mercy in view of the sacrifice of atonement for the whole of humanity …. But not that the process is constantly repeated, but that all spiritual beings full of light experience the past retrospectively as present …. that past, present and future are apparent to them at all times, because there is no longer any limitation for the being of light, thus also every concept of time is switched off …. Even if you humans on earth try to imagine the work of mercy of the man Jesus it will only ever be a weak comparison to what you will one day be able to experience yourselves …. For you can certainly visualize the external events but not the nameless suffering which Jesus’ soul had to endure and which only becomes comprehensible when a soul stands in the light and knows about the horrors of darkness …. when it knows what it means to have to exchange the kingdom of light with the kingdom of darkness and to now be at the mercy of all demonic powers. The soul of the man Jesus came voluntarily from the kingdom of light and sought to compensate for all counter-influences with love …. But even this love could not prevent the adversary from taking possession of His body, from testing all the powers of hell on Him. And therefore He patiently took upon Himself even the most severe suffering: He took the path to the cross …. He endured abuse and maltreatment and forced His soul and body to endure until death on the cross. For the burden of humanity’s sins was immeasurably great, and therefore the work of atonement also had to be immeasurably painful. I Myself was in the man Jesus, I Myself gave Him the strength but I did not determine His will, only that I, as love dwelling in Him, was the strength which enabled Him to carry out the sacrifice on the cross. And therefore the sacrifice on the cross is not to be judged as a human work but it was offered for you humans by Me Myself in Jesus Christ …. And therefore you will only be able to grasp the great significance and the immense suffering when you yourselves experience it in retrospect in the spiritual kingdom in order to then also praise and glorify the one Who redeemed you from sin and death ….
Amen

Resurrection on the third day ….
B.D. 6810 from April 20th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
To what extent you humans acknowledge My act of Salvation determines whether you believe in life after death, in a resurrection from the grave into the kingdom of the beyond. Because the act of Salvation, My suffering and crucifixion, found its culmination in the resurrection on the third day, which was meant to verify all My earlier teachings. It was meant to provide people with the evidence that life is not over when the body dies but that spiritual life begins once a person lives in accordance with My teaching. Admittedly, My resurrection is doubted and only taken notice of as a myth …. And neither can it be proven, such teachings can only be believed or rejected. This belief is also a result of My act of Salvation or an indication that the person is redeemed by Jesus Christ …. because he believes in Him as the divine Redeemer and therefore also utilises the blessings of the act of Salvation. However, the fact that My body visibly vanished from the grave does not mean that ‘the flesh’ had risen from the dead, instead My physical shell had completely spiritualised itself due to My suffering and crucifixion. It was the spiritual garment the soul had put on, which I only made visible to people in order to show them that death had finally lost its fear because I had conquered it. My life on earth intended to show people the path that leads from the abyss to the pinnacle ….
To every one of My teachings I attached the promise that eternal life would await them …. But I required faith in Me in Jesus Christ …. Yet I found little of it, and even My disciples had little faith, and they were frightened to death when I handed Myself over to My enemies …. Their faith was not yet strong enough to believe that I was also Lord over death, consequently they did not remember My Words that ‘I will rebuild this temple in three days ….’ Every one of My closest followers was seized by great sadness, something had fallen apart for them when they had to witness My death on the cross …. I wanted to help them, I wanted to strengthen their faith again and at the same time provide them with the evidence that I Am Lord over life and death ….
For this reason I made something visibly take place which, however, is granted to all souls …. that they cannot die but wake up in another kingdom, which is in accordance to their life on earth. The soul leaves the body but this, still being immature, stays behind. Therefore a person has no proof of a resurrection after death and neither can it be given to him, on account of his freedom of will. But I was able to resurrect My body simultaneously because its substances had spiritualised themselves, and thus My resurrection on the third day need not be doubted. However, not all people were able to see Me, I only appeared to My Own because I had announced My resurrection on the third day to them, and because their degree of maturity allowed for it …. But those who found My tomb empty looked for many other reasons to explain the disappearance of My body, and therefore they were not compelled to believe. I had risen from the dead …. People had only been able to kill My body, and even this was no longer subject to natural law after My crucifixion, for it was liberated from all constraints ….
But a human being on earth only rarely achieves the degree of maturity which enables the body’s substances to align themselves with the soul after the earthly death of the body, and therefore the belief in a resurrection is extremely fragile or associated with wrong concepts. Therefore it has to be preceded by the redemption through Jesus Christ, because someone who is still burdened by the guilt of sin is still completely under control of My adversary …. And he will suppress every thought of a possible resurrection, he will only ever influence the human being in a negative sense and thus also portray My act of Salvation and My resurrection as implausible to them. The fact that the resurrection on the third day took place all the same will hardly be doubted by anyone who whole-heartedly professes Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, since My spirit will tell him so. And thus his thoughts will be guided correctly by Me, since I can work through My spirit in every person who has found his way back to Me in Jesus Christ. He will not taste death anymore either, because he will enter into the life which Jesus Christ promised him …. He escaped death because he escaped the one who brought death into the world. And he escaped from him because he fled to Me in Jesus Christ. From the moment of his surrender to Jesus Christ he has risen from the dead, only now has he come alive, and he will eternally not lose his life again.
But even the disbeliever will not cease to exist, he, too, will only lose his earthly body and not his soul’s existence, it will merely enter the kingdom of the beyond in a state which is similar to death …. The grave will keep it locked in, and if Jesus Christ Himself does not roll away the heavy tombstone, it will stay there. But the divine Redeemer died for everyone on the cross, and one day the hour of resurrection will come for every soul, because one day it will call for Me in Jesus Christ, and I will not let its call go unheeded …. Then it will rise from the grave and awaken to life, then the darkness of the grave will recede and it may behold the light …. Because I died for all human beings, and even those who rest in their graves will take notice of the fact that I arose from the dead and that I will give life to anyone who desires to live ….
Amen

Resurrection of the dead into life ….
B.D. 6811 from April 21st 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Humanity was held in bondage …. and it would never have been released had I not sacrificed Myself to redeem the souls from the one who held them captive. My overwhelming love motivated Me to make this sacrifice, to pay the purchase price which gave me the right to seize the souls from My adversary, providing they themselves wanted to leave him and follow Me. But the sacrifice I made by My crucifixion was intended for all once fallen spirits, it applied to all people past, present and future. It was made for the spiritual essence which has taken, and has yet to take, the path across earth as a human being.
I bought freedom and paid with My blood for every entity that once was pulled into the abyss by My adversary and is kept there in bondage, and no being needs to stay in the abyss any longer against its own will. But it has to yearn to leave the abyss, it has to want to ascend, it has to want to return to Me from Whom it once turned away voluntarily. Hence its former rejection of Me was the cause of its death, because the abyss amounted to complete lack of light and strength for the beings, the state of death …. So that it should rise from death into life, so that the being could rise from its grave and step into new life again, I purchased a life for the dead with My death, and no being need be subject to death forever, every being is able to rise from the dead just as I Myself came back to life on the third day ….
But My adversary will want to prevent the beings from escaping his domain and therefore they have to be helped, since they are unable to rise by themselves and My adversary keeps the grave, which engulfs the beings of darkness, tightly locked. But one cry to Me will penetrate even the most impenetrable tombs, one cry to Me in Jesus Christ and I Myself will hasten to help the weak and tormented soul, and My adversary truly cannot stand firm against Me Myself, he has to leave because I paid the ransom and thus he has no further claim on the soul who wants to leave the grave of darkness, the grave of sin and destruction ….
Do you now understand the significance of My act of Salvation, of My sacrifice on the cross, which was achieved for the release of the once fallen beings? Do you understand why only your own will can lead to this salvation, why you yourselves have to want to leave the grave before I can roll away the gravestone?
My adversary lays claim to you as long as you grant him this right, as long as you don’t resist the restraint he had put on you, as long as you don’t call for the only One Who can remove this restraint. You only need your will and you will be free …. because you will receive the strength to free yourselves as soon as you acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ, as soon as you desire to be redeemed by Him and request His help. But then My adversary cannot hold on to you any longer, he has to release you, then he has to accept that I roll away the gravestone and help you to rise, for I acquired the right to do so through My death on the cross …. I paid the ransom on your behalf, and therefore it is not irrelevant whether or not you humans on earth acknowledge the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ …. because you are wretched as long as you stay in the grave …. And thus the day of resurrection will sooner or later come for every soul, just as I was resurrected on the third day, and you will live and eternally not lose your life again ….
Amen

Indicating the end of an era ….
B.D. 6812 from April 22nd 1957, taken from Book No. 73
You will all enter a new stage of development, for one period of Salvation will come to an end and a new one will start again. It has been said to you many times already without finding credence amongst people. And yet it is of greatest significance that you believe in it, because you will decide for yourselves as to whether you will advance or regress in your development, and because you will be affected by two entirely different destinies: exceedingly lovely and glorious or incredibly painful. Life will no longer go on as monotonously as before …. the upheaval approaching you will be so great that you will be unable to imagine it and thus you will live on indifferently although it is pointed out to you time and again. But you won’t believe what My messengers proclaim to you and one day will bitterly regret that you did not accept and comply with the advice given to you. My Word is the only way to draw your attention to it, consequently I keep talking to you through a human mouth and only want to find enough belief so that you will become thoughtful and give account to yourselves about your way of life. But who listens to My Word? Who recognises it as the Father’s voice Who wants to save His children from ruin? People’s spiritual pride is so great that they overestimate their own thinking, that they don’t want to accept anything, they don’t believe to need any instructions and are satisfied with dead teachings which have lost all sanctifying strength. And those who claim to be My representatives on earth have too little contact with Me themselves, otherwise they would be able to hear the same Words from Me and would let Me speak through their mouths, in which case they would proclaim the same to their listeners as I announce time and time again: that you are facing a significant turning point, earthly and spiritually ….
You humans plan far in advance, you create and work as if you had an infinitely long time at your disposal …. You don’t want to believe in the conclusion of an era which is nevertheless approaching you shortly. Thus you are tirelessly active in an earthly sense …. But what are you doing for your souls? Why don’t you consider it in the same way since you know, after all, that you will have to die one day and you cannot take any of your earthly possessions with you into the kingdom of the beyond? But since I tell you that all people’s lives will come to a sudden end it should prompt you into working harder at improving your souls and make you realise the futility of earthly hunting and striving …. But you do not believe and cannot be forced into this belief. Even so, you shall hear it time and again from Me through My messengers who bring you My Word …. You shall not be able to say that you remained without knowledge; you shall not be able to say that you were taken by surprise, thus time and again people will cross your path admonishing and warning you, and the happenings surrounding you will also contribute towards making you thoughtful …. And blessed is he who takes notice of it and prepares himself for a change that will occur …. He will truly thank Me one day that I pointed the forthcoming out to him …. for the time granted to humanity to attain spiritual perfection has come to an end ….
Amen

Fulfilment of humanly decreed commandments will not replace actions of love ….
B.D. 6813 from April 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 73
You humans have to understand that there is no substitute for loving actions, that you will not be able to acquire eternal bliss by other means as long as you ignore My commandments of love, as long as you do not act with unselfish love for your neighbour. Whatever else is recommended to you, apart from this active love, as being beneficial or promising happiness, is worthless and will not lead you one step forward in your perfection. And you will be offered much that will supposedly result in happiness …. Thus you often disregard the only helpful means to bliss. I required nothing else from you humans apart from complying with My commandments of love …. I gave you no other commandments but those which only ever necessitate your love for your neighbour, I only preached those guiding principles which intended to improve the relationship between yourselves and your fellow human beings, because I wanted to kindle the love in you which you were lacking and which had caused your wretched situation. And thus My continued concern simply relates to increasing your willingness to love, because the ability to love is inherent in all of you but your will to put it into practice is extremely poor. Consequently, only a person who, like Me, will simply preach love can be My true representative on earth, because he alone will show people the right path which leads to Me, to blissfulness.
However, you should not believe that you can replace your deeds of love with other actions or customs; you should not believe that I will be content with the compliance of commandments which were not decreed by Me and whose implementation without love is completely worthless. You won’t receive any ‘blessings’ for it because I will not take notice of such actions and customs and neither will it save souls, because these are just human promises which I will never be able to sanction. Only love will save you from regressing into the abyss, only love will guide you into perfection, and love will always express itself with actions, because love will urge a person from within to work in divine order.
But you humans are seized by a certain amount of indifference regarding My commandments of love because you were led into thinking wrongly …. Because you were urged to comply with ecclesiastical commandments which people added to My commandments as their own work …. You now fearfully attempt to meet these ecclesiastical commandments, but rarely or never pay attention to My requirements yet nevertheless believe to live a just and Christian life. This is a serious error which was also brought into the world by My adversary …. Because your only purpose of earthly life is to kindle love and let it flare into the brightest light because this denotes the unification with Me from Whom you once separated. However, only love will be able to achieve this unification, and not the means which were given to you as ‘commandments’ for the attainment of eternal life, such as formal prayers, indulgences, actions and the conferring of blessings which are known as ‘sacraments’, which must only be regarded as ceremonies and formalities and will not provide you with any spiritual success, neither on earth nor in the kingdom of the beyond.
My adversary tried to prevent what the compliance with My commandments of love will achieve by distracting people’s attention from them with external formalities and false teachings and presenting his arrangements as their priority …. Because he knew that he would find many victims, because love required people to make an effort and they are not gladly willing to make sacrifices. Thus time and again love has to be emphasized to be the first and most important, time and again I have to remind people of My commandments of love for God and other people, time and again I have to instruct them that everything else is useless without love and that actions of love cannot be replaced by anything else …. But this teaching is not taken seriously, people prefer to follow those humanly added commandments more readily because My adversary still has great influence over such people and is trying to prevent their return to Me by all means. Nevertheless, My teaching of love, which I preached on earth, is known to people and everyone with genuine aspiration will also recognise it as a priority and not be content with pointless outward appearances, with everything that did not originate from Me ….
Amen

Truth comes from within …. desire for it ….
B.D. 6814 from April 25th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Seek the truth within yourselves …. What is offered to you from outside need not always be truth, but you yourselves will not be able to judge it as long as you cannot be informed from within. Many things can be offered to you as truth, and even the greatest untruth is often disguised in such a way that it is accepted as truth. But first of all it requires the serious will to be offered truth …. Only then will you be able to examine what is offered to you and recognize it for what it is. The will to come closer to the truth is also at the same time the will to come closer to Me, because I Myself am the truth from eternity …. If I now recognize this desire in a person, then the possibility is already given to mentally guide him, thus to make knowledge accessible to him in the form of thoughts, to let him recognize correlations, thus to guide his thinking truthfully …. So then he stands …. still unconsciously …. with the one Who alone can provide him with information, and then he will oppose every misguided teaching with inner resistance but be open-minded towards the truth, for then he will have a certain ability to judge, he will be instructed from within …. My spirit has become effective in him, and he will now no longer be so easily deceived if he receives knowledge from outside which does not correspond to the truth because it did not originate from Me …. Every person is capable of testing who is only serious about not falling prey to error and lies …. who seriously desires truth. For the human being carries all wisdom within himself because he harbours the divine spiritual spark which knows everything and also wants to impart knowledge to the human being if he gives him the right to do so, i.e., desires to know. The human being is only isolated from Me as long as he behaves in this isolation himself …. He can give up his defensive position against Me at any time, and as soon as he thus desires to be connected to Me he also causes the spiritual spark within himself to secede …. And then the bond is already established, the isolation is lifted, for now the human being hears the voice of the one Who is the eternal truth and Who therefore also instructs him truthfully. But the desire for truth will always prove a certain degree of maturity, for love and truth cannot be thought of without each other, because they are My fundamental nature, because God – love and truth – are one and the same and because therefore only the person who acknowledges Me and lives in love can stand in truth. For the latter also seriously strives for truth, he seeks to penetrate knowledge which cannot be proven and which therefore can also never be fathomed purely intellectually …. (25.4.1957) And therefore truth cannot be transmitted to you humans in a scholastic way either …. For as soon as the preconditions are not fulfilled, as soon as the prerequisites for receiving the truth are not present, the human being will not recognize it either, even though it is offered to him. It has to resonate in him, as it were, for it is present in every human being, i.e. the spiritual spark in the human being, as a part of Myself, is also the truth, and what it emanates cannot be anything other than truthful knowledge. Only when you humans have grasped this will you also know the reason for the lie and error which is widespread in the world and which people accept far more willingly than the pure truth, and you will also understand why it is not possible to impart truthful knowledge to all people in a scholastic way. For the resistance towards it will remain as long as the human being closes himself off to the expressions of the spiritual spark dwelling in him or denies it any expression through an anti-divine attitude, through unbelief and unkindness. Everyone has the same right, the same claim to truth, but this must also be so desirable to him that he fulfils the conditions which are attached to the supply of truth. But anyone who thoughtlessly accepts all spiritual knowledge conveyed to him from outside, without desire for truth and therefore also serious examination, is closer to the one who is My adversary and thus an enemy of truth, who will always fight against Me by going against the truth …. He, too, will influence your thoughts but always meet with resistance where the bond with Me is established through loving activity and where the desire for the pure truth predominates. For My spirit will always be active there, the ‘comforter’, Whom I have promised to send to you and Who will “guide you into all truth” ….
Amen

Spiritual beings help only after call to God ….
B.D. 6815 from April 26th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
In every situation in life you have helpful forces at your side which are only waiting for your support. And these forces have been assigned to you by Me for your earthly path, you have been handed over to them for care, and it is now up to you whether you make use of them, whether your will unites with these forces, i.e. whether you consciously call upon them to grant you help where you are too weak. This applies to spiritual as well as earthly areas, for you will constantly need help because you will have to struggle and fight until the end of your life on this earth. But one prerequisite must always be met before help can be given to you: You must have already found your way to Me, you must have recognized that only My will applies, and thus you must first make this will of Mine inclined towards you, you must recognize and acknowledge Me Myself as your father of eternity and, like children before, hand yourselves over to the father so that He will now take care of you physically and spiritually …. And then you may also always turn to all beings of light who only ever carry out My will, thus you can entrust yourselves to their protection and care at any time, and you will always experience their support because they now only look after ‘My children’, thus you do not exclude the ‘father’. It is of utmost importance that you don’t entrust yourselves to those forces which do not work on you in My will, for they, too, can approach you if you request help and pass Me over …. if you hand yourselves over to forces which I have not entrusted to your care but which you believe to have power because you are wrongly informed about the spiritual beings and their activity. As soon as you have established the intimate bond with Me you will truly be assisted by countless helpers on My behalf who, through this bond, are now also entitled to help you …. The first step must therefore lead to Me, only then will I hand you over to their care …. However, anyone who believes he can reach his aim the other way round, who ignorantly asks for help in earthly adversity from beings whose spiritual maturity he is unable to assess, can run the risk of receiving strength from opposing forces or remaining without help, because no being of light intervenes without or against My will and My will can never be a help which still strengthens the human being in his wrong attitude. And very many such appeals are made, beings are called upon which neither have the mission nor the right nor the ability to bring help which serves the human being. But such calls open the door for negative forces which are interested in suppressing the thoughts of Me even more from people’s hearts and which therefore also grant help …. help which, however, does not serve the salvation of their souls. All good forces are willing to help you if you call upon them for heartfelt devotion to Me …. But if you refrain from the latter and nevertheless call upon beings in the beyond, then you also hand yourselves over to these beings …. You believe that you call upon ‘saints’ and place yourselves in the sphere of activity of anti-divine forces, for all spiritual beings full of light work with Me and in My will ….
Amen

Life and death …. abusing the life force ….
B.D. 6816 from April 27th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Life alone can make you happy, but death will eternally remain an agonizing state for you, for ‘life and death’ does not mean physical life and its ending but the state your soul is already in on earth and certainly then in the spiritual kingdom …. which can therefore be called ‘life’ or also ‘death’, depending on the state or maturity the soul is in. Life is a state of activity, in full possession of strength and light …. Death, on the other hand, is a persistence in inactivity, because the soul lacks all strength but nevertheless feels its state as agony, just as ‘life’ makes the soul happy and its bliss increases the more active it is. But you will only be aware of true life and true death after the earthly death of the body, when you either receive unlimited strength or can also realize in horror that you lack all strength which you were previously still able to use for vitality. Only then will you know how meaningful earthly life as a human being is or was for every soul, and you will be blissful or feel deep remorse, depending on your earthly way of life, which has brought you to your present state. But you were created for life, and even though you have fallen into the state of death God’s efforts will not cease to give you life again because He wants you to enter the state of bliss again which was granted to you in the beginning. He Himself is life, He is strength and light which are constantly active, and nothing dead could ever exist next to Him if His strength and light shone through it …. Yet even the dead once came forth from Him as a living being and was therefore able to freely determine itself …. and thus could also reject the animating strength and fall into the state of death without being prevented by God. But now it can no longer dwell in the vicinity of ‘eternal life’ either, it has completely isolated itself from the source of strength and thus deprived itself of life. But eternal life Itself seeks access to the dead again and again in order to breathe life into it too, so that it can be active again for its own happiness, for in the state of death it is condemned to inactivity. As a human being on earth it is temporarily supplied with vitality which, however, cannot be compared to the strength which makes the being happy in the spiritual kingdom …. But the right use of vitality also allows the soul to gain possession of spiritual strength, which only guarantees true life and is therefore inconceivably blissful. Thus the human being’s available vitality is a gift of grace which cannot be valued highly enough, for it is the means to acquire the spiritual strength which then guarantees eternal life, a state where the being can act according to its own will, where it nevertheless uses its strength in accordance with God’s will, where it can stay close to Him because it is constantly permeated by God’s strength of love …. But if the human being misuses the strength of life given to him by only using it in a purely earthly way, the still dead soul will not come to life either, and when it departs from this earth, when the strength of life is withdrawn from it again, it will fall into a state of complete lifelessness and powerlessness, and it will remain in this state for an infinitely long time because it cannot be forcibly awakened to life and thus its free will also determines the duration of death. And yet, God does not abandon it to its fate, but He also brings these dead souls together again and again with living souls …. or also: All living beings are constantly active to also give life to the dead, and the agonizing state nevertheless causes isolated souls again and again to let themselves be illuminated by God’s strength of love, which those souls wanting to help now convey to the dead. But only life means bliss, and life requires strength and light …. And if the dead is to come to life then strength and light must be imparted to it, and it must accept strength and light of its own free will, otherwise it will be and remain wretched until it once gives up its resistance ….

The soul's change of abode …. Death of the body ….
B.D. 6817 from April 28th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
The soul’s change of abode …. Death of the body ….The soul is your actual Self which is immortal, which merely changes its abode after the death of the body, which has concluded its earthly progress in order to continue maturing in other spheres if it does not stay in opposition to Me and thus descend into the abyss. Hence the thought that you don’t have to fear death should make you very happy, that you will live although you have to leave this earth …. and that this life is far more pleasant and joyful than earthly life as a human being could ever be. You should look forward with cheerful anticipation to the day when your external cover will be taken from your real Self, when all heaviness will fall away from you and you will be able to easily and light-heartedly lift yourselves up into your true home, which truly offers you inconceivable splendours. You should rejoice at the fact that there is no death for you because your soul will merely experience a change of abode which can make it infinitely happy ….
Why do you therefore fear death or anticipate the end of your earthly life with unease? Why has death become a horror for you humans, why does it trigger in you a feeling of fear when, in reality, it is just a transition into another sphere after all? Because you unconsciously sense that you did not live your earthly life correctly, and because your soul is not acquiring the light which would take all its fear away …. For a person who complies with My commandments of love, who thus lives on earth in accordance with My will, has no fear of death but yearns to shed his earthly cover because he longs for his true home, because love has kindled a bright light in him and, looking ahead, he also knows himself to be near to Me, where no suffering and pain, no affliction can touch him, where he feels sheltered by My love …. All people could have this blissful certainty, that they will exchange a sorrowful and difficult existence for this feeling of security when they depart from this earth, if only they would live their earthly life with this aim in mind …. if they would always follow their inner voice which clearly informs them of My will …. if they would already on earth enter into the right relationship with Me, their God and Father of eternity. The thought that their existence ends with the body’s death is already the best evidence that the person’s way of life does not correspond to My will, for this idea comes from the opposing spirit’s influence wanting to prevent people from gaining correct realisation and therefore also constantly increasing their desire to enjoy earthly existence to the full …. for these people do not believe in the immortality of their soul, they impose on it the same restrictions as is the fate of the external frame ….
And thus they try to savour earthly life in every way, only ever considering their body but not their soul which, after physical death, has to accept a rather uncertain fate, which will be unable to experience the splendours of its true home, since due to its imperfect disposition it cannot find admission to the spheres where inconceivable beatitudes await it. Although it is still possible for the soul to detach itself from the abyss and enter into higher spheres, it nevertheless requires far more effort and exertion than on earth and will be impossible without help, yet even then the soul will have to muster its own will, which is far easier on earth. The Self cannot cease to exist but it creates its own fate of blissfulness or agony …. and only when people no longer consider their body as being ‘alive’ but learn to recognise the soul within the body as their actual Self, only when they learn to believe in the immortality of their soul, will they live more responsibly on earth and then no longer fear death either, which only concerns the earthly body but not its indwelling soul. Then they will live in accordance with His will and long for the hour when the soul will be allowed to leave its external cover in order to then enter the kingdom which is its true home ….
Amen

Redemption work presupposes own redemption ….
B.D. 6818 from April 29th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Every individual can and should carry out redemptive work, i.e. help his fellow human beings or also the souls in the beyond to become free from bondage. But he must first have found redemption himself through Jesus Christ, Who alone can remove the chains from him and thus also enable him to be active in redemption again. And thus you can conclude that every person who wants to proclaim the gospel to his fellow human being must be completely filled by the spirit of Christ, that he therefore lives a true christianity and identifies himself as redeemed by Jesus Christ. To bring help to the bound requires strength and freedom, which no human being possesses who has not first been redeemed by Jesus Christ. Redemption, however, means to have become free from the power of God’s adversary, who always only influences the human being in a negative way and also has power over him as long as he still stands apart from the divine redeemer Jesus Christ. And his power is expressed in an unloving way of life, in faults and vices of all kinds, in a visibly imperfect state, in which therefore everything unredeemed is found …. And such a person is not able to be redemptively active towards his fellow human beings. Nor will he want to help the unredeemed in the kingdom of the beyond because he cannot muster compassionate love for their hardship …. And such a person is also not suitable for proclaiming the gospel, for his words will have no strength and will never be able to awaken the dead to life. He himself is still unredeemed …. Successful redemptive work, however, can only be accomplished with the grace and power of Jesus Christ …. And therefore you humans should not be surprised that the bondage, the affiliation with God’s adversary, is so openly apparent, for there is a lack of helpers who can be active in redemption …. There is a lack of followers and confessors of the divine redeemer who themselves draw knowledge and strength from their devotion to Him to also help their unhappy fellow human beings to salvation …. There is a lack of truly redeemed people …. For these now set to work themselves, because they are urged from within to also bring their fellow human beings the freedom which now makes them happy …. Anyone who has found the path to Jesus Christ himself and has consciously walked it will also lure and call his fellow human beings onto the same path, he will lead them to Jesus Christ himself, he will not rest until the signs of salvation are also recognizable in them …. And he will become more diligent in his work the more success he achieves, for the strength which flows to him for his work of salvation will always increase. God cannot be deceived by beautiful words and gestures, and no human being can feign redemption through Jesus Christ, for this also has an outwardly recognizable effect. And an unselfish work of love is the surest sign of redemption from the power of the adversary. But if this is not recognizable, then the human being is not fully committed to the work of redemption for his fellow human beings, for then he also lacks faith, even if he confesses it with his mouth …. He himself is still in sin, he is still under the power of the adversary, he does not know the bliss of redemption through Jesus Christ …. And he is and remains a dead proclaimer of Jesus who himself has not yet grasped the significance of His act of salvation. But again, anyone who has found redemption through Jesus’ blood can do redemptive work himself without being privileged outwardly for it …. He can prove his freedom from the adversary through his way of life, he can vigorously stand up for Jesus Christ and His teaching, he can point his fellow human beings to Him, Who alone can loosen their bonds; he can work in silence and achieve more success than those who call themselves God’s representatives on earth but represent His adversary far more …. He can contribute a great deal to the souls’ redemption through his own example and intercession, he can already be an eager co-worker for God on earth and one day in the spiritual kingdom, because My love …. the sign of being redeemed …. incessantly urges him to bring help to those who are still unredeemed ….

Justification of renewed revelations ….
B.D. 6819 from April 30th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
All My children who want to serve Me are right by Me if only each one does the work I assign to it, if it supports Me and My teaching and thus tries to bring the gospel to its fellow human beings. For I will bless them and their work will not be done unsuccessfully. And again and again I assure My protection to the servants in My vineyard, and like a good householder I provide them physically and spiritually with everything they need, for the work for Me and My kingdom on earth has to be carried out by people, because I cannot work directly on the individual apart from a few who then, however, also have an important mission: To receive the knowledge from Me Myself which is necessary for a teaching ministry, or also: to catch the ray of light from Me, on which My vineyard labourers shall also light their candles again in order to be able to carry the light into the darkness. But whomever I look after with this mission to precede his fellow human beings as bearers of light can also feel secure of My constant care that I will protect his light from going out as well as from every dimming, for this power is truly at My command, and My love and My wisdom alone will secure this protection, because otherwise it would be impossible to guide the pure truth to earth. Thus pure truth is guaranteed to reach earth from Me …. However, it does not remain unchanged on the part of people, for as soon as the human being’s intellect deals with it and now supplies his own result of intellect to his fellow human beings, the pure truth is already deformed …. And this is the reason why again and again my word has to be directly conveyed to earth by Me …. because only that is pure truth which flows forth from Me and is accepted by a servant awakened by Me who only hands himself over to Me as a tool, who does not strive to be more than a good servant to Me on earth. Again and again you humans will be allowed to receive the pure truth from Me because the again and again by-people-formed teaching prompts Me to do so …. But again and again you humans will also deface this pure teaching of Mine. For you are not content with ‘My word‘ …. You want to speak for yourselves, and you presume to add your own explanations, to weave in your own trains of thought, and you don’t notice that despite your good will you now give the opponent of truth the opportunity to intervene again …. And he can do so because you are of an arrogant spirit to believe that you are called to still explain My directly conveyed word. My word is truly given to you humans such that anyone who wants to understand it can do so. And it truly needs no explanations, no improvements, only a deeply humble heart devoted to Me in love into which the light will then shine brightly because it has the highest luminosity. But because you humans still lack the right attitude, your spirit is still darkened and in the end you no longer recognize my word in its meaning either …. And the extensive scriptures which contain My pure word, which I Myself conveyed to earth through faithful servants, are no longer of use to you, it has, as it were, lost its luminosity for you and you misinterpret it …. And that is why I always let a light shine anew, I guide my word to earth again, I open up a spring again from which the purest water of life flows, and this water of life is the same, and it has the same strength but it flows freely and uninhibitedly again, it fertilizes the fields again and makes them receptive for good seed …. It is not surrounded by a wall which men have erected and which hide the clear stream of life from above …. And I have told you that I will again and again purify the gospel from false additions, that I will again and again open up the understanding for the pure gift of God from above, I Myself have drawn your attention to the fact that I purify it every few weeks, because then people will also lack understanding again, that they will also attach a different meaning to My directly spoken word and that this already results in the necessity to address people again who willingly lend Me their ear and are also willing to use what they receive. Consider, you humans, that My adversary has been particularly eager to undermine the pure truth in recent times and that a renewed influence on My part, a renewed obvious help, has become urgently necessary …. Consider that most precious spiritual possessions also require faithful guardians to whom every material attitude is alien, who are only willing to serve Me unselfishly …. and consider how few of you still find such an attitude towards Me. Then it will also be explainable to you that the adversary will find shelter and even the purest truth from Me will be exposed to his influence. And I certainly foresaw this, and I also pointed out again and again that I will descend to earth in the word because this is necessary again and again, that I straighten out what you humans have bent yourselves …. that I explain what is not quite understandable to you humans, and that in view of the end I will also send you enlightenments which were not given to you until now because you did not need this knowledge to mature your souls. And this spring which I open up will let purest clear water of life flow forth again until people again believe that they have to improve it and add their own explanations …. People who are not satisfied with My clearly understandable speech but arrogantly believe themselves to be able to instruct their fellow human beings better than I Myself …. This is why you humans are ill, and you don’t know that you will support My adversary again who will seize every opportunity to invalidate the pure truth in order to plunge you humans into confusion again …. but who will never be able to unfold his power where I Myself am active, because it is My will to convey the pure truth to people and because I therefore also prevent every contamination at the source by virtue of My power and love ….
Amen

God's address is heard by the whole spiritual world ….
B.D. 6820 from May 1st 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Even that which you feel in the depth of your heart is my word spoken to you, however, only on condition that your will, your thoughts, are turned towards Me. And therefore every person who seeks Me, who wants to unite with Me, who therefore has not turned his will against Me, can be certain that I speak to him in the form of thoughts, for I know every innermost stirring of the heart, and likewise I place the answer in his heart …. and if he only pays attention to what moves him inwardly in this union with Me, in silent dialogue, in times of inner gathering, he will also always think right and do what is right. You can rely on Me without worry when you turn to Me, be it with questioning thoughts or requests, for I know about them and do not close My ear because I love to hear such questions in order to be able to answer them. And thus you are told that nothing in life is coincidental, that everything has its purpose, that even the smallest event fits into My eternal plan of salvation and that only the human being himself should benefit from what he encounters. And thus an address by Me wewill never be pointless or purposeless, everything I say to you is not only heard by yourselves but by the whole spiritual world which desires to hear My word. And thus questioning thoughts have also been whispered into your heart by beings in the beyond who likewise want to hear an answer and who work again with the knowledge they have now gained, because they only spread the truth once they have been admitted to activity in the spiritual kingdom. And those souls often ask themselves why the earth is shrouded in such profound darkness, and they too must be taught that people themselves are to blame for the darkness and that they are rarely only willing to let light shine into the darkness. For the souls in the spiritual kingdom know that only truth can make them happy, and therefore they cannot understand why people deprive themselves of this bliss …. And again and again they have to be informed that people’s will itself resists the truth by influencing My adversary, who finds access to them far sooner than I, Who would like to make people happy. The light, however, is constantly guided to earth …. But people are free to accept or reject it. However, what is held in low esteem on earth is accepted in the spiritual kingdom with true hunger, and all beings are blissfully happy about every ray of light which shines upon them …. And thus a treasure of grace can certainly remain unexploited on earth but in the beyond it will be desired and utilized as the most delicious. But you, who on earth seriously strive to fulfil My will, you can hear My address in your hearts at any time …. You, too, can ask questions and leave them to Me for answering …. And your thoughts will brighten up, you will soon be able to give yourselves the answer, for you have received it from Me Myself, Who always addresses you through the heart when you desire to hear Me. But in deepest humility you should turn to Me …. You should always feel like ignorant little children who have to be taught by the father, you should never believe that you are knowledgeable if you have not first been taught by Me Myself. But you need not remain ignorant, for I am always willing to enlighten you, just as I impart the same knowledge to all souls in the spiritual kingdom who desire it. For knowledge is bliss, and I want you to be blissfully happy that you brightly and clearly recognize the truth, so that you can now also work with this truth for Me and My kingdom ….
Amen

Androgynous beings …. Beyond ….
B.D. 6821 from May 2nd 1957, taken from Book No. 73
I will give you what you need for the maturing of your souls …. And in the last days I will also give people the kind of knowledge which, although it is not absolutely essential, should also reveal My love and wisdom to you, which will explain much that is incomprehensible to you and could cause you to doubt Me …. I Am revealing to you My detailed plan of Salvation because the end is approaching and unbelieving humanity should still receive a slight opening which lets the light shine through if people do not refuse to accept this knowledge. I Am lifting a veil which was still enshrouding people, I Am revealing secrets to make it easier for people to believe in Me …. And therefore I Am also always willing to answer questions which are put to Me either openly or in thought on earth or in the spiritual kingdom. For I want to give light to everyone who wants to escape the darkness ….
Consequently, I have also occasionally given explanations which the human being on earth does not yet need but which will become self-evident to him in the spiritual kingdom if he has prepared himself for the spiritual kingdom …. Then he will receive the understanding in a flash as soon as he desires it. One of these questions concerns the ‘gender’ of the beings which I created, which already has been the cause of much deception but which is of little relevance to people during their earthly life.
There is no being that does not incorporate both principles of gender within itself …. They are merely distributed differently in each being, so that one is governed by the male and the other by the female aspect. But perfection requires the complete balance of both principles, neither shall be more or less …. Only then will the state of perfection have been achieved, hence a perfect being can either be called androgynous or male and female in one. The male principle must have aligned itself completely to the female and vice versa, only then will the being correspond to My nature …. it will have become My image …. This alignment will either already be achieved on earth or it will take place in the spiritual kingdom, where the being will be constantly subjected to tests in which the male and female principles have to prove themselves in turn …. Hence it is entirely irrelevant whether the being is embodied on earth as a man or a woman, because the alignment with the opposite principle must irrevocably take place. However, this is not meant in an earthly-perceptible way in as much as the man or woman should acquire the characteristic features of the other, but the alignment is an entirely spiritual matter …. it is a person’s integration with divine law, which therefore also requires different degrees of willpower and this can be easier for one and more difficult for another person.
And therefore it follows that there is indeed a division of the sexes on earth but in the spiritual kingdom the being’s own earthly shape will merely surround it as an aura, thereby also identifying the individual. Consequently, one can speak about a closer relationship of spiritual beings who, having the same degree of maturity, feel attracted to each other. But one cannot speak of a union between different sexes, since every individual will be a perfectly androgynous being. However, where the alignment of the different principles has not yet taken place the characteristic features of the different sexual beings will also be more apparent, which is particularly noticeable in the spheres where the separation from the earthly-physical world is not entirely complete ….
But such sexual differences do not exist in higher spheres and therefore it is wrong to speak of relationships which resemble those between a man and a woman on earth, because the blissful unity of two beings is based on spiritual similarity, on the same degree of maturity and complete spiritual agreement. This will always be more prevalent amongst beings who have aligned both principles within themselves and whose bliss is therefore beyond imagination when they associate with similar beings to create and work together ….
But the being’s earthly progress is neither an advantage nor disadvantage irrespective of whether the human being is a man or a woman …. Resistance to Me can be equally strong, and surrender to Me can be carried out by both …. The separation of the male and female principle is merely to make every being’s acceptance of divine order easier, thus accepting the characteristics of perfection increasingly more. My wisdom is certainly able to make this assessment and therefore I gave every being the outward appearance which offers the guarantee of achieving its best possible alignment. But the beings’ happiness in the spiritual kingdom is beyond measure when both principles within themselves have become orderly, and therefore they are also able to put themselves in the position of every yet unsaved being and support it in its fight against itself and its anti-divine characteristics, which first have to be put right.
And then again, the happiness in the kingdom of the beyond …. although it cannot be compared …. will match the happiness on earth which unites two people with heartfelt love when compatible beings find each other, whose deepest love for each other will give them the kind of happiness which is known by you humans as a marriage made in heaven. However, worldly standards or worldly concepts can no longer be applied in the kingdom of the blissful spirits, where the greatest happiness is triggered by deeply felt love for Me, which will always be reciprocated by Me again ….
Amen

Life water contamination ….
B.D. 6822 from May 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Even if my word is repeatedly conveyed to you in all purity, it will always be watered down, because this word of Mine enters an area where the adversary asserts himself, where the human being’s will determines himself and this will is even more inclined towards the adversary than towards Me. Consider that truth is something divine but that the divine will never prevail against the satanic because this would be equal to compulsion which, however, is completely excluded from My side. But the satanic still rules the world, i.e. the people of this earth, and thus it is easy to explain that pure truth is always opposed and that the resistance also consists of clouding everything clear, of contaminating everything pure …. And thus it should not be surprising that truth does not remain as pure for long as it originated from Me, just as a drop of poison is enough to make a whole vessel of purest water unfit and dangerous, but pure water will not cancel its effect …. And so I only warn again and again to drink far away from the source …. Only at the source are you safe, only at the source do you receive healthy, pure water of life, and only at the source do you not need to fear any harmful admixture which, however, will always be contained in the water the more it distances itself from the source. If the riverbed is guarded with great care, the water can remain pure for longer and retain its inherent vitality, but even the slightest carelessness allows contamination, and it is then difficult to restore the old condition which guarantees healthy, clear water of life. I only want to say that everyone who wants to become healthy and attain the right life for his soul should go to the spring, and that I therefore always open a spring again because you humans should attain life …. (5.5.1957) and you can be grateful when such a fountain of life is at your disposal. But I would also like to warn you to dig a well on your own authority of which you don’t know whether it will let healthy water flow forth …. whereby I would like to warn those people who were not called by Me but who call themselves to distribute teaching material which did not come to them from Me …. I would like to warn those who set themselves a task and are unable to accomplish it, but who present themselves as ‘called by God’ and place themselves far more at My adversary’s disposal than at Mine. You humans are unaware of the dangers which surround you, yet wherever the slightest ambitious thought arises in a person this danger will be drawn upon. And every person should seriously account for the motive which drives him to engage in spiritual work …. How many people want to gain recognition for themselves, how many again seek to imitate others in order to be considered ‘gifted’; but how few are driven by pure, unselfish love for Me, in recognition of guilt and weakness, which makes them deeply humble …. And only such can I use for such a significant mission as this: to receive My pure word and to convey it to their fellow human beings. For only these can be called the ‘source’ which I Myself open up for people …. from which they may draw the pure water of life at any time. And for such a mission I have also chosen suitable vessels for Myself, and thus I have trained people for Myself. They have already fatefully passed through a school of teaching which allowed them to mature because I well recognized how their soul was shaped by it, but without forcing them, for they could also have resisted any spiritual activity at any time. But they could also become suitable rocks which I only had to touch with My rod so that they opened and delicious water of life flowed out of them. But then it is also guaranteed that such a spring of life will be protected by Me from all contamination and that everyone who draws from it will consume a true drink of life. But just as people build artificial wells for themselves which do not always guarantee pure good water, so too there are people who want to feign a genuine spring, who use artificial means …. who are intellectually active themselves and in the best case can also offer their fellow human beings a potion which, however, can never be compared in its effectiveness to that which flows from My natural spring …. And thus you can only ever receive the warning to take food and drink whose giver is unknown to you. You can only ever be admonished to take the path to the source of life …. to come to Me Myself and request the right food and the right drink from Me, and I will truly lead you to the right source, and the water of life will refresh and revive you on your path through life ….
Amen

Return to God necessitates sincerity of will ….
B.D. 6823 from May 6th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Anyone having made it his goal to travel his earthly path in accordance with God’s will, can also always be assured of assistance on the part of God, because God only allowed him to embody himself for the purpose of aligning his will to divine will. And since, during this time on earth, only the human being’s will makes the decision, this very will has already passed its test and thus God can now take care of the person in every way without exerting any coercion of will. As long as the human being is still undecided or even still adheres to God’s adversary, the human being’s will is indeed fought over by God and the beings of light, that is, it will be just as influenced by Him as by the adversary’s side, so that it should freely decide ….
But once the human being has freely decided to subordinate himself to God’s will by living a way of life in divine order, then he will also have entered His sphere and God will no longer let him fall prey to His adversary. But his will has to be sincere …. The apparent fulfilment of God’s will as a result of a church upbringing is not enough, nor will it suffice to carry out deeds of love which, again, are mere church requirements and are more or less fulfilled as obedience towards these demands …. Wanting to belong to God has to be an innermost endeavour, the inner fully-conscious surrender to Him must voluntarily have taken place …. thus he himself must have directed his will towards the One, Whom he has recognised as God and Father of eternity. And from this follows that the return to God is not a mass movement, that every individual person must have set out on the path by himself and therefore he also has to do everything necessary for it himself: to recognise God and to acknowledge Him and to appeal to Him for strength to be able to accomplish the return to Him. But he will not appeal to God in vain, for He knows of his will, of his sincerity and also of his weakness, He knows that it will not be possible for him alone, that he will need help …. But it is assured to him. He had lost his strength the moment his will had turned away from God, and he will receive it again when it turns back to Him.
And therefore an external formality alone cannot suffice, words alone cannot guarantee a truly God-devoted will, and belonging to a religious denomination cannot demonstrate this change of will, rather, it has to be proven by action, and this consists of unselfish loving activity without coercion and without law …. God certainly gave people the commandments of love, nevertheless love has to be practiced voluntarily, for even what is done as fulfilment of a commandment can be accomplished without the innermost will, which then will lessen its value. Therefore the attainment of beatitude, the return to God, has to be every person’s very own affair, which he cannot pass on to other people and which no-one else will be able to accomplish on his behalf either. And even the deed itself is not decisive, only the innermost will is important …. which truly is obvious to God but which is also supported in every way. And whatever will then happen to you humans in life is only due to the influence of God or the world of light, which make sure that your will shall aim into the right direction, that it shall voluntarily submit itself to God and that it shall regard its return to God as its only goal.
However, once this act has been accomplished, once the human being’s innermost thoughts are turned towards God and he makes an effort to live on earth according to God’s will, then his earthly life will not have been lived in vain, and it will, with certainty, also result in freedom for the human being’s soul. It will be able to detach itself from its tormentor, it will be able to strip itself of the shackles which kept it imprisoned for an infinitely long time, it is now on its path of ascent and no longer needs to fear God’s adversary, who has no further power over the soul because God Himself will seize it, and will safely guide it upwards, for the human being’s will has turned towards Him, from Whom he once had emerged as a created original spirit ….
Amen

'But seek ye first the kingdom of God ….'
B.D. 6824 from May 7th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Only spiritual adversity need weigh you down, whereas earthly problems can leave you unconcerned, because they will be remedied as soon as you pay attention to your soul’s adversity and are willing to help it. Yet precisely the people who experience immense earthly adversity are unaware of the fact that their spiritual adversity is the reason why they must suffer and live in want, for they do not know the correlations and My means of salvation, nor do they know the extent of their spiritual adversity, since they are focussed on worldly things and their lack of faith instantly rejects any thought which might cross their mind as an explanation of their difficult fate. Nevertheless, these people need to be instructed about the meaning and purpose of their earthly existence, are they to change their thinking. And in view of their earthly distress such instructions would indeed by appropriate; however, they are usually only successful when people see no other way out by earthly means anymore. Then they will become thoughtful and they can change their mind …. And I will manifestly support especially those people when they turn to Me in thought and appeal for My help. They will not take the earthly adversity over into the kingdom of the beyond; nevertheless, their spiritual adversity will follow them and will not let go of them either until they have turned their will and their thoughts towards Me which, however, is far more difficult than on earth. This is why I said the Words ‘But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you ….’ I can remove earthly adversity at any time; spiritual hardship, however, must be removed by yourselves …. I can certainly assist you with it, yet you must have the will and become active yourselves, you must take the path to Me, you must believe in Me and seek to fulfil My will, thus, you must live according to My commandments of love for God and your neighbour …. But in that case you will be able to confidently place all earthly adversity into My hands, for then you will have fulfilled the requirements, and My promise, that I will help you both in a physical and spiritual way, I will be able to take effect on you, because your soul will no longer be at risk of getting so engrossed in worry about its earthly needs that it cannot perform its actual task because it is too weak and makes no effort to gain strength. Time and again I have promised My help in earthly adversity, I Myself have asked you to come to Me if you are depressed and in need of help, I have given you the assurance that you will never ask anything of Me in vain …. Why don’t you avail yourselves of My assurance, why don’t you hand yourselves over to Me with complete faith, your Father of eternity? Because you do not believe in Me. And this is the immense spiritual adversity you find yourselves in, for without faith in Me you will not establish the connection with Me, and without this bond you are and will remain weak and will not be able to make any progress whatsoever in your development. As soon as you live your life on earth without Me …. precisely because you don’t believe in Me …. you will remain on the same level or even descend further. But you ought to ascend if earthly life is to serve its purpose for you, you ought to get to the point that you can discard all material shackles and enter the spiritual kingdom as free and happy beings …. As long as you do not strive for this, as long as you merely regard your life on earth as an end in itself, you will suffer great spiritual adversity and will require a noticeable earthly burden which will lead you to a different way of thinking. And although it seems that your physical strength is not sufficient in order to master the earthly adversity, you can nevertheless ease your fate …. by merely taking the path to Me …. when you become conscious of your imperfect state and appeal to Me for help …. Then the earthly adversity will be removed from you at the same time or be arranged such that it will be endurable for you, for then I will have achieved what I wanted to achieve by means of the adversity: that you will get in touch with Me, your God and Father of eternity ….
Amen

Significance of the love commandments and fulfilment ….
B.D. 6825 from May 9th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
I want to proclaim the gospel of love to you again through My servants whom I chose Myself for this purpose because it is necessary that My divine teaching of love shall be conveyed to you in all purity. Nothing else but love can redeem you …. and therefore nothing else is necessary but that you are instructed again and again in My teaching of love, that again and again the commandments of love are presented to you as the first and most important ones and that you are urged to constantly carry out unselfish works of love, because only these are a blessing for you. Although My messengers do not bring you anything new, what use is it if you know about My commandments of love for God and your neighbour and yet do not fulfil them? For this reason the significance of their fulfilment has to be held up to you again and again, and you have to be taught why you are embodied as a human being, why you are imperfect creatures and how you can regain the perfection you once possessed. The sermons alone are no longer sufficient, they fall on your ears and no longer penetrate your heart, they have become dead phrases for you to which you no longer pay any attention. It is extremely important that you seriously think about why I gave you these commandments when I lived on earth and why I keep giving you the same teachings. It is extremely important that you not only take note of these commandments but also know about their reasons …. Your bliss only exists in the connection, in the union with Me …. Whether earthly life as a human being also gives you earthly happiness and joy, you cannot be called blissful, for your state is inadequate, you cannot determine your own destiny, nor can you prolong the duration of your earthly life when your hour has come …. But then your soul’s deficient state will clearly become apparent if it has not found unity with Me. Only then will it feel unhappy and can only do little to change its wretched state. On earth, however, it is very easy for it to find union with Me and also to change its imperfect state …. It only needs to live in love and thus joins Me, Who is eternal love Itself. It only needs to do what it has resisted until now: to let itself be illuminated by My love, thus to want to make contact with Me …. Then My ray of love will also strike it and stimulate it to be lovingly active, and then its transformation will certainly take place, and as soon as its earthly life is over it can enter the kingdom of light in order to be able to work in strength and freedom for its own happiness. But at the beginning of his embodiment on earth the human being is still afflicted with a wrongly directed love, he mainly thinks of himself and his thoughts and aspirations are only meant to improve his own situation in life, for he is still under the control of the one who is completely devoid of love himself. Moreover, the human being is also without knowledge, he has to be instructed, knowledge has to be brought to him which he can deal with mentally so that the will can arise in him to unite with Me …. For his salvation of soul, his further fate in eternity, depends on this will. And because love is the means which guarantees his beatitude, he therefore has to be pointed to it again and again and stimulated to be lovingly active. If he is easily influenced, if he lets himself be addressed by his fellow human being’s obvious hardship and prompts him to help them unselfishly, he will very soon realize that this is his true purpose of earthly life, and My divine commandments of love will also be comprehensible to him. These commandments of Mine mean nothing to hardened-hearted people, but they are in a desperate situation as soon as their earthly life is over. And therefore I keep trying to make the significance of My teaching of love clear to them …. I don’t stop giving them advice, I let them receive the knowledge of My divine teaching of love in an unusual way and at the same time also the reason for My earthly life, which should be an example to them of what a life of love can lead to: to the soul’s complete deification …. Although I only rarely find faith in them I nevertheless again and again send My disciples out into the world to proclaim the gospel of love to people. Whoever believes in it will become blessed, for he will endeavour to live in love. But without love there is no success for the human being, no spiritual progress, no beatitude after his death …. And again and again My teaching of love must therefore be brought to people, again and again I must sound my word from above and preach love through the mouth of My servants …. And I cannot give them anything else …. i.e. no further knowledge …. until they practice love themselves, because only then will they unite with Me and then they can receive unlimited light and strength from Me ….
Amen

God's address to all souls …. (cemetery)
B.D. 6826 from May 10th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
All shall receive strength, all shall be comforted, all shall attain eternal peace who let Me speak to them. They should only willingly listen to Me, then strength and light will already flow to them from My speech and their thinking will change if it is still directed against Me. Their weakness will fall away from them, they will feel calm and secure and henceforth ask for nothing else but to be addressed by Me again and again …. And this is the only thing I want to achieve with all My living creations, both with people on earth as well as with the souls in the kingdom of the beyond who have not yet found the union with Me which alone can make them blissfully happy. For without Me you will all walk along in hardship, weakness and darkness, which you do not yet feel so painfully on earth but which will cause you unspeakable agony in the spiritual kingdom. I want to help you, I want to lead you all out of this wretched state, I want to open up a source of light and strength for you which can be used by you at any time, where you can constantly fetch what you still lack, where you can make contact with Me Myself and where you will no longer be lonely and abandoned nor sick and weak. But you must have the will to come close to Me, you must not reject Me or still inwardly rebel against Me. For you must know that I do not want your painful state but that you are to blame for it yourselves and therefore must change it into a blissful state yourselves. No matter how great the guilt separates you from Me, I will not look at it if you repentantly confess it to Me and ask Me for forgiveness of your guilt. For I am not a punishing God, not a judge who condemns you, but I am your father Who only ever looks down on His children full of love and longs for these His children. And whether you languish in deepest darkness, you can call upon Me, for there is also redemption from hell, because I, as the man Jesus, also died on the cross for the deeply fallen, because I also bought their souls with My blood, because I also paid the ransom for them, thus I also redeemed their guilt. But these must now also call out to their saviour and redeemer Jesus Christ from the depth …. I am only waiting for this call to rush to their aid, to loosen their chains and set them free from their jailer …. And endless souls still languish in the abyss and yet could so easily reach the height if only they would listen to Me when I speak to them. And again and again my word resounds in the abyss, admittedly only faintly audible to these souls but they feel it as a gentle call which they can now follow in order to then also be able to hear my word ever louder and clearer. My voice permeates the whole universe, the earthly and the spiritual kingdom. And all beings can hear it if they do not openly reject Me. The souls in darkness are also often startled by sparks of light, and these, too, can cause them to follow them if only a small desire for light awakens in them …. And they will now likewise reach where they can hear My word, because I want nothing else but to be able to address them in order to then break the last resistance, for they will surrender to My loving address, they will feel My love and learn to love Me …. Let all of you be addressed by Me, your God and father of eternity, your saviour and redeemer from sin and death. I only want to bring light into the darkness which is your fate as long as you deny Me access to you through your will; I want to help you to beatitude, I want to bless you with a loving hand and distribute the bread of life to you, I want to give you the food and drink you need in order to shape yourselves so that I can accept you into My kingdom of light …. And you should not spurn this gift, you should always find yourselves where My table is abundantly laid; you should let yourselves be given My gifts of love with a longing heart and you will experience the greatest blessing from it. And if you have satisfied yourselves, then also lead other hungry souls to the table of life, for all those who have not yet found this gift of life are in greatest need, and to help all of them is My everlasting concern, which you should and can also share by helping to deliver souls from darkness …. by also calling them when my word of love sounds to you yourselves ….
Amen

Intensified fight against enemy …. call of Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6827 from May 11th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
And no matter how much the adversary presses you, resist him, i.e. take refuge with Me …. and he must leave you. You will easily become his master if you take this path, if you immediately send your thoughts to Me and appeal to Me for protection, if only you want to offer him resistance. But he often manages to weaken your will so that you don’t find the strength to resist because you don’t immediately join Me. And I constantly want to draw your attention to the fact that you are able to do everything with My help but that without Me you are weak and powerless and then My adversary gains control over you. Remember that you are constantly surrounded by beings of light who want to help you, who are only waiting for My order and are ready to defend yourselves as soon as you mentally turn to Me. And you should always be so intimately united with Me that it is natural for you to call upon Me. And then you will also be able to resist every temptation, you will not get caught in his nets which he casts out again and again in order to reap a rich harvest among My own too. And again and again I tell you that you will only achieve victory through constant battle, because an existence without a fight will not result in success for your soul. And the closer the end is, the harder the battle will be, the greater the temptation and the more obvious My adversary’s activity. But My influx of grace will also flow ever more abundantly and help will be offered to you in every way. Thus you need not succumb in this battle if only you yourselves heartily desire to be and remain Mine …. Then all his arts of seduction will be in vain and he will let you go, because then he will be blinded by the light which emanates from Me and in whose glow you are. And thus you can prevent his approach yourselves if you let Me be present in you through constant prayer and prayer of love …. Then he will not be able to approach you, for he will not dare to come close to Me and you will be removed from his power and activity. But one thing should be said to all of you, that the coming time will still bring many battles for every individual person in order to also give every individual person the opportunity of a faster maturing, because not much time remains for all of you. And his activity will manifest itself in unrest, discord, people’s hostile attitude towards each other, in unkindness which also turns into hatred …. He will try everywhere to incite people against each other, to cause confusion, to harm them physically and again and again make use of people who are in bondage to him …. And then you should not become restless, you should remain in utmost patience and only ever lift your eyes to Me. For just one call to Me is enough to push him away from you …. And you will have taken a step forward again if you have taken the right path in such temptations, the path to Me. But many will succumb to it …. And you should set a good example for everyone, you should call upon Him Who is stronger than he is, and you should also point your fellow human beings to Him Who defeated the adversary and whose power was broken by His death on the cross …. In all temptations of body and soul only ever remember the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, then you will also remember Me, and then the enemy of your soul will truly have lost all power over you, for no call to Jesus Christ will go unheard, He will set you free from the adversary, He will give you strength, and with His help you will always be able to resist him, you will likewise defeat the one whose power I broke through My death on the cross ….
Amen

Reason for the destruction and new creation …. Hell – banishment ….
B.D. 6828 from May 12th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
I take pity on the lowest fallen spirit, and time and again will provide a rescue anchor enabling its ascent, and every soul holding on to it will be raised up, for it is demonstrating its will to escape the abyss and thus it will also be allowed to experience its eternal Father’s mercy. But there is also a degree of resistance to Me in the region of the lowest fallen spirits which no longer allows for a rescue, where the will has not changed in the slightest and where the spiritual essence has become almost solid and there is no other possible help but to banish this spiritual essence into matter again ….
This new banishment is also an act of mercy on My part, for without it the soul would never be able to reach the point again where it has to pass its last test of will by which it can attain eternal life. The path of development in the spiritual kingdom has to take place within My divine order, no phase can be left out, and in the stage of self-awareness …. either on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond …. the being’s will is at all times decisive …. Consequently, if this is utterly abused I have to constrain the soul again and make it take the path through the creations of this earth in the state of compulsion once more, because I don’t want it to remain in an extremely agonising and wretched state forever. Ever new arising creations, the continuous growth and decay in nature, is equivalent to the perpetual change of external forms by the progressing spiritual substance which steadily approaches its final form as a human being on this earth …. But the spiritual essence which had descended back into the deepest abyss or which has already been there for an infinitely long time will have to be placed into the hardest matter at the start of its higher development. It cannot be placed into already existing creations which serve already more mature spiritual substances as an abode …. The first phase of the banishment cannot be skipped, instead the path of development has to start in the external form which corresponds to the unbroken opposition to Me …. in hardest matter, because this in turn is required by My law of order.
For this reason new creations have to arise again and again after long periods of time to accept these spiritual substances, just as creations having existed for incredibly long periods of time …. hard matter …. need to be disintegrated one day in order to release the spiritual substance therein to continue its path of development in less compact forms …. The periods of time which pass after such outright destructions and redevelopment of earthly creations occur are very long, and as a rule the length of time cannot be demonstrably established by people either. Furthermore, they lack the knowledge of the spirits’ process of development, of the true purpose of matter and of the appallingly agonizing conditions in the spiritual kingdom, even though the word ‘hell’ is known to all people ….
But they don’t know what is meant by it in reality, otherwise the total transformation of earth and its creations would be more credible to them. Yet it will always remain unverifiable to people …. However, a loving and merciful God aims to save His living creations, He will not leave them in darkness forever, and My love and mercy is My fundamental nature which will not ever change. My love and mercy will forever apply to My living creations which descended into the abyss, and time and again will find ways and means to rescue them from there. Yet before a new banishment happens again, every effort will be made by Me and My spiritual co-workers that the souls will take the path of ascent in the spiritual realm in order to spare them the agonising fate of a new banishment. Yet the will of the being makes its own decision, and depending on its will shall be its fate. But My plan of Salvation will be implemented and not be without success …. One day I will reach the goal, and one day the darkness will also have surrendered everything, because My love will never end and no being will be able to resist it forever ….
Amen

Vocation to vineyard work ….
B.D. 6829 from May 13th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Anyone who feels called to do vineyard work for Me should regard this as the most urgent work, even if it apparently results in an earthly disadvantage for him. For only then will he provide the evidence that he is called by Me, that he feels responsible towards Me and that he listens to My inner instructions. And My instruction will never be to treat the work for Me and My kingdom indifferently and to give priority to earthly work, because I know how necessary it is that spiritual knowledge is conveyed to fellow human beings which serves them for the salvation of their souls and because I know that the world always pushes itself into the foreground and that the souls are constantly in danger of falling prey to it. Only one thing is important in earthly life: to help the soul ascend. And for this it needs My word, a nourishment which gives it strength to cover its ascent. I Myself cannot always provide fellow human beings directly with nourishment for the soul, I usually have to do this through willing servants who are more likely to find the way to people’s hearts. These have to do vineyard work, they have to plough up and cultivate the field as My faithful servants and thus supply good seed to the soil which they have previously cultivated …. And this work is truly the most urgent, if only because not many servants make themselves available to Me and because therefore much work has to be done by each individual in order to nevertheless be able to gather abundant fruit at harvest time …. But fellow human beings seldom appreciate vineyard work …. the work for Me and My kingdom …. because they rarely appreciate it properly, for they only consider that important which brings earthly success, and they usually lack understanding for spiritual work. But it is so important that I bless every faithful servant and this blessing is also earthly evident, that I give him what he needs for his earthly way of life and he need not suffer any hardship because he is a good servant to Me and because I, as a good father of the house, truly take better care of My own than the world will ever be able to provide for a person. For worldly goods do not last, and no human being knows whether he will still be able to enjoy these goods the next day …. But I also provide for people in such a way that their earthly life is secured, and I also distribute goods to them which last and cannot be taken away from the human being when he leaves this life. And My servants should be satisfied with this assurance, but they should know that their services cannot be dispensed with because I have to make use of them due to people’s freedom of will. They should only know that there is great spiritual hardship amongst humanity or that vast stretches of land lie fallow and therefore labourers are needed to cultivate this land on behalf of their lord …. And even if fellow human beings cannot muster any understanding for the fact that a person places spiritual work in the foreground …. but it proves his calling to serve Me and My kingdom. For as long as spiritual work does not take precedence over every other activity, it is not yet possible to speak of a ‘calling’, for anyone who ‘feels called’ by Me to cooperate has heard My direct address within himself and this is also sufficient for him to fully commit himself to the work I now assign to him. And he need not fear that he will not be able to survive on earth, for I will give him everything as I have promised. For I am truly one lord, and I alone determine and grant …. I sustain the whole of creation and all creatures, and I will also know how to sustain the one who offers himself to Me for eager cooperation in order to control the great spiritual adversity. And truly, this work will also be blessed and have an effect on earth and in the spiritual kingdom ….
Amen

Mental superiority …. mental arrogance ….
B.D. 6830 from May 14th 1957, taken from Book No. 73
Spiritual superiority must not be confused with spiritual arrogance …. For it is mostly a matter of right knowledge, which probably gives a person the feeling of spiritual superiority, that is, that the person is convinced of the truth of his knowledge …. whereas spiritual arrogance is found where the person lacks right knowledge …. the knowledge of the truth …. Nevertheless, he feels clever, and he represents his own intellect results and denies the knower any power of judgement, which, however, he himself particularly lacks. The knower indeed also represents his knowledge full of conviction, and he is therefore called spiritually arrogant by the ignorant without being so, only it would be impossible to reveal the once recognized truth in order to merely avert the reproach of spiritual arrogance from himself, for this is the characteristic of truth, that it gives the human being complete certainty …. thus spiritual superiority …. which can no longer be taken away from him. And this feeling of security, of standing in the truth, is a divine gift, a gift of the spirit, which again must not be confused with keen intellect. It is true that this difference cannot be made comprehensible to ignorant people, which is why it cannot be argued with words either. But there is a characteristic for each of the terms: spiritual superiority and spiritual arrogance …. The former presupposes an unconditional desire for truth and spiritual striving, whereas the latter is always a sign that the human being is not serious about attaining the truth but only about being right, for the person who seriously demands and strives for truth would very soon come to the same result, which now gives him spiritual ‘superiority’ instead of spiritual ‘arrogance’. For the human being then becomes small and humble in the realization of pure truth …. which, however, does not mean that he does not eagerly and convincingly represent this recognized truth …. And every person who thinks himself clever and wise should seriously examine himself as to whether he has the desire to become ‘knowledgeable’ at all, or whether he is content with what he has learned by chance or what he has puzzled out for himself intellectually without having first asked God for enlightenment of thought …. He should always remind himself that error always goes hand in hand with truth and that human intellect alone is not sufficient for examination but that God Himself must be called upon for help. Furthermore, he should examine himself to see whether it is only a spirit of contradiction that moves him to reject a thought system other than his own …. Then he must be addressed as “spiritually arrogant”, whereas spiritual superiority presupposes deepest attachment to God, unconditional submission to His will …. a ‘humility’, therefore, which only earns him truthful knowledge. But such knowledge will make the human being immensely happy and give him such a secure feeling which will also let him recognize error brightly and clearly. And if he did not have this feeling of spiritual superiority then he would not be able to stand up for knowledge with conviction either, he would very quickly be drowned out by the adversary, he would remain silent where speech is required and be unsuitable as a representative of truth on earth …. He must therefore rather accept the reproach of ‘spiritual arrogance’, he must not tolerantly accept the error he has recognized …. because then he would not be a fighter for the lord, who should fight with the sword of the mouth against those who bring error into the world and spread it. For having received the truth also obliges one to represent it …. But anyone who advocates error will never be able to claim to have attained it after a heartfelt desire for truth. And thus it would be easy for every person to recognize where truth and where error is …. if only he honestly answers the question for himself as to whether he has seriously sought the truth …. But the spiritually arrogant person is so convinced of his intellectual knowledge and not willing to surrender any of it …. And therefore he never asks himself this question, and therefore he will also hardly arrive at the truth ….
Amen
