Mission of the lord to His servants ….
B.D. 6868 from July 9th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Only ever regard yourselves as My messengers who are to carry the gospel out into the world, who pass on on behalf of their lord what was imparted to them themselves. Receive and share out …. For this is the service you should render Me, because you have voluntarily offered yourselves to Me to work in My vineyard. People do not come to Me themselves in order to receive My gifts from My hand, they do not seek Me Myself because they do not know the path which leads to Me. Therefore you should show them the way, but you should also convey gifts from Me to them so that they will have the desire to seek Me themselves. And if you render this service to Me I will bless you. The fact that you have voluntarily placed yourselves in My service also obliges you to obey Me, which only consists of willingly carrying out My instruction to pass on My gospel …. that you don’t self-willedly carry out work which does not serve the spreading of the gospel, or that you don’t become complacent …. because then you would not be good servants to Me in the last days before the end. The seed has to be scattered in the fields which have not yet been sown …. and the seed can indeed fall on infertile ground, it can fall on stony ground or in sandy desert …. but a little seed can also sprout anywhere if the necessary water of love also flows to it to ensure its flourishing …. Only the little plant which is carefully nurtured and cared for can flourish and bear fruit, and you should also give this care to the seed …. Again and again you should deliver My word to them, simultaneously imparting good ‘seed’ and ‘living water’ so that the seed can flourish. If I admonish you again and again not to neglect this work of yours, you should realize from it how important it is, how necessary I need labourers in My vineyard and how diligently you should carry out this work so that a good harvest will still be achieved in the last days …. And you, who want to serve Me, you truly no longer need to attach importance to earthly activity, for this will be taken care of for you as soon as you only prioritize the work for Me. Consider, however, that you are already blessed by the fact that I have accepted you as servants in My vineyard, that you yourselves constantly receive gifts from My hand which not every human being can show …. consider that you are unusually gifted by the fact …. that you thus also have a sure sign of My love but also a sign of My mission which the lord gives to His servants: For what you receive yourselves you should not keep for yourselves alone but pass on in unselfish neighbourly love …. And you should always prove yourselves worthy of this great gift of grace and faithfully serve Me. I only require of you that you smooth the path to those who are still distant from Me, that you announce Me Myself so that they don’t keep their doors closed when I come and knock. I need you as mediators, and your mediation also requires that you are not recognizable as My messengers through unusual radiance but that you walk along just as simply as your fellow human beings, whom no compulsion of faith may determine to accept My word. This is why you should speak to people as human beings, this is why your ministry is more difficult and first requires your complete dedication and readiness for Me in order to obediently fulfil your lord’s command as His servants. You should only pass on My word, and only from My word can you draw the strength for your work. You should not let yourselves be held back by those who have not yet properly recognized your mission, even though they are no longer hostile towards Me …. you should unwaveringly take the paths which are shown to you by Me, which lead to where there is still barren, uncultivated land, where you should take up the spade in order to dig up the field and sow it with a seed which I Myself provide for you. Only with this shall you work, and you will be faithful servants to Me, whom I bless now and for eternity ….
Amen

Fatherly address to questioning children ….
B.D. 6869 from July 11th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
The door to My heart is always open to you, and you can enter at any time and present your concerns to Me. You can always come to Me when you are in distress of body or soul, and you will also always find an open ear for everything that distresses you …. that is: You can always pray to Me …. and the more intimate your prayer is, the closer you are to Me and the more certain I hear you. And once you have entrusted your needs to Me, once you have had a heartfelt conversation with Me so that you now also know that I have listened to you, you need not worry about anything anymore, for I have now also taken over these worries because you have entrusted yourselves to the father like true children. And now you only ever need to do what you inwardly feel impelled to do, because this is My answer when you ask what you should do. And you can travel your earthly path completely carefree as soon as you walk it in My company …. And you will walk in My company as soon as I have become the content of your thoughts. And anyone who has offered himself to Me to serve Me and My kingdom is now also in union with Me and his earthly path has already been arranged by Me because he is willing to serve Me. Thus he should now regard himself as My servant whom a good householder will truly provide with everything he needs for himself and in particular for his activity in My vineyard. And I know exactly about this activity for Me and My kingdom …. I know about the successes and also about the failures …. but it is nevertheless not done in vain …. But every servant should also consider that the clearing of an area which is first to be cultivated is not easy, that it requires strength and endurance, patience and diligence, but that every piece of good soil which is won is worth the great effort …. and that I bless My servants for their faithful service, which I alone can best evaluate. And therefore no-one shall become despondent but only ever come to Me in his hardship and always draw strength from Me in heartfelt prayer, because I will always answer him, mentally or through My word, which will be imparted to him if he cannot hear it in himself. But again and again people shall hear that they should pay attention to their thoughts after such a prayer …. For these thoughts are My answer, as soon as the desire is serious to hear an answer from Me. And therefore every person can confidently turn to Me himself in all his needs, I only require a prayer in spirit and in truth, the heartfelt prayer of a child to the father, for a lip prayer does not reach My ear. But you also often have thoughts and questions which do not only concern spiritual matters, and I will also guide your thoughts correctly in these matters, but you should nevertheless try to free yourselves from such oppressive thoughts and only present every concern to Me in all childlikeness, but then also be convinced that I will take over every further worry. Likewise, you should try to free yourselves from false concepts of God-worship …. For childlike humility and devotion to Me, which completely fills a person’s heart, is truly worth more to Me than external gestures and customs which are intended to show this humility but which can also be stopped despite the lack of inner humility and love for Me …. Do you then believe that you have to prove to Me what you feel through outward appearances, when I know about your innermost heartfelt emotions? Humility and pride are obvious to Me and you cannot hide either of them from Me, whether you kneel or stand upright, whether you move amongst your fellow human beings with a gloomy or cheerful expression. And thus I will not ask you to mortify yourselves, even though all of you humans still have to give up many weaknesses and faults or fight against all kinds of cravings. For the latter is what I call right fasting, to become master of the desires still dragging down the human being’s soul, that he gets rid of all vices and desires, that he truly takes strict action against his body where it still tries to dominate the soul and expresses desires of various kinds which do not serve the soul’s best ….. But whatever the human being accepts in food and drink in just measure he should only allow himself to be blessed by Me, and then it will also impart strength to him to do pleasing vineyard work for Me …. And he should accept with a grateful heart what My love offers him, be it spiritual or physical food …. For every father provides his children and every master his servants with everything they need in food and drink ….
Amen

End time prophesies and admonitions ….
B.D. 6870 from July 12th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
As yet the period of Salvation is not concluded, a short period of time is still separating you humans from the final work of destruction on this earth …. And all of you could still become blessed if only you would recognise and acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, the spiritual state you are in when the end of this earth, or even the end of your earthly life, comes upon you depends on this …. For the end you are granted will come suddenly and unexpectedly. And yet, no human being need be unprepared, for every person will still be told often enough what is in store for all of you, he just will not want to believe it. What is about to happen to you will ring in every person’s ears again and again, for all coming worldly events are also indications and signs of a near end. And likewise all people will also hear My voice resound from above, for this event will not remain hidden from any person and can still be a last warning for everyone that the end can happen just as suddenly to them as it will happen to those who fall prey to the natural disaster. It will only be a little while longer, yet it will soon pass by …. But then the end will come without fail along with the Judgment which will decide the fate of every single soul. If only you humans would just acquaint yourselves with this idea that you create your own future fate, and if only you would believe Me that you can still attain your goal with ease providing you still make use of the short time, providing you entrust yourselves to Me and appeal for My guidance …. But you don’t listen to My warnings and admonitions, you remain indifferent, and you allow the disaster to confront you without protecting yourselves from it or averting it …. For you do not believe …. You don’t believe My Words and I Am unable to inform you of the coming events in any other way than through My Word, in view of the fact that you must find the path to Me of your own volition and therefore you may not be given more obvious proof ….
And the wheel of time keeps turning relentlessly …. Countless people will still be recalled by Me and this, too, should arouse people from their sluggish, routine life that is like a sleep from which they will be rudely awakened one day but then have no more time to prepare themselves for the end. The sleepers don’t want to forgo their rest and slowly slip into a sleep of death, for their souls can only look forward to death because they don’t appreciate life enough in order to acquire eternal life for themselves. People distance themselves ever further from Me Whom they should, after all, strive towards, and they think of their divine Redeemer even less, His act of Salvation is totally ignored, and thus My adversary, who can only be overcome by the One in Whom I embodied Myself for the sake of sinful humankind, is in control of people …. But without Him the end will also be terrible for people, for they will be hopelessly at the mercy of their destiny, they will be unable to find redemption because they reject the Redeemer Himself …. because they don’t take the path to Me Who alone can help them. Again and again I approach people in Jesus Christ, again and again will people be told about His Gospel, they will repeatedly be invited to profess Jesus Christ and to adopt His divine teaching of love, and the approaching end will also be repeatedly mentioned. But it will be left to them to profess Him and to accept His blessings. But without Jesus Christ they will be unable to survive this end and neither can they be admitted to the kingdom of light if they are recalled earlier without having found Him …. All the same, the end will come without fail. However, it would not have to be feared, it would not have to be dreadful if faith in My Word impelled people to diligently work at improving their soul, for then a person would establish the connection with Me in Jesus Christ and the blessings of the act of Salvation would be utilised and assuredly also lead to maturity, so that he would not have to fear the end and the Judgment ….
Amen

Help of God's servants to build the bridge ….
B.D. 6871 from July 13th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Where your work for Me is done, My working can now also begin if hard resistance is not put up against Me. But first a bridge must have been built, for open resistance means a deep gulf which still separates people from Me. Thus your work is by no means unimportant or unnecessary, for you can help build this bridge, it has to be built from your side, because the gulf has also arisen from your side …. And if the human being himself does not set to work to bridge the gulf again, then his fellow human being must give him an impetus and help him to tackle that work …. But then I am certainly ready with My help and now also send My helpers to him. And I Myself will now come to meet him in order to make the path to Me easy for him …. To every human being the ‘grace of God’ obviously approaches once, to every human being I once stretch out the hand which he should take …. I speak to every human being once so clearly that his heart must be touched if he only allows himself to be addressed without inner resistance …. Every person once stands at a crossroads and sees a narrow path which leads upwards, whereas the other path is flat and appears more tempting to him. But if he has the inner drive to ascend, then he also chooses the narrow path. And again and again My messengers stand on the path whose guidance or instructions he only needs to follow. And you, My servants on earth, are such messengers who should constantly be active for Me. But as long as you are still on earth, in the midst of the world and its dangers, in the midst of people who have no urge to rise from the abyss, it will also cost you again and again effort to lead these people to the narrow path, for they usually only listen to you unwillingly and pass you by. Nevertheless, you should not cease to call them and draw their attention to the path of ascent, because their will first has to be stimulated before I Myself can confront them in order to offer Myself as their guide. Yet open resistance repels Me, I do not break open resistance by force but hold Myself back. Your will is turned towards Me and yet you are still closer to people than I am, because you yourselves walk amongst them as a human being …. Hence you can influence your fellow human beings in a favourable way, whereas I am still prevented from influencing them precisely because of their resistance, which proves that they belong to My adversary. If you only succeed in breaking the hard resistance, then the human being will also occasionally look beyond the gulf he still faces himself, and then he will mentally build a bridge, for thoughts that are already turned towards Me are the first pillars which are supported by Me so that they do not collapse. From Me it would truly be easy to build a bridge to you humans on earth …. I have also built this bridge through My act of salvation, thus it exists but can only become visible to the human being when he acknowledges Me as the redeemer and calls out to Me …. And this always means giving up his resistance, his free will becoming active. Therefore the desire to bridge the gulf must come from him …. and that this desire is awakened in him is what you shall achieve through your vineyard work, which precisely consists of proclaiming My gospel to people, of directing their thoughts to the area where I am the unrestricted ruler, so that they therefore also remember Me and My power and glory …. If they are now able to recognize Me as a God of love then they will no longer resist My illumination of love, and then I will also be able to exert My influence without applying any coercion of will. The human being’s freedom of will necessitates your assistance, because of freedom of will I cannot express Myself so obviously that they have to come to believe in Me …. but you can tell them the same thing I have to tell them. Yet they can believe you or not, they can also reject you because what they hear through you is not yet a hundred percent proof …. But it can touch their hearts, they can feel that it is truth and give up their resistance. And then your preliminary work will have been successful, then I Myself will be able to intervene, and then the gulf which separated us will also be overcome, the ascent will be covered effortlessly because I Myself can now guide the human being so that he will safely reach the aim ….
Amen

How far does Lucifer's power reach ….
B.D. 6872 from July 15th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
In the beginning all beingness was radiant with light, for it came forth from the eternal light and was in its original substance the same as He from Whom it had proceeded. God is light and power in Himself …. And He also radiated light and strength into infinity. But He gave His emanations forms, He produced beings from Himself which were created in His image …. which is not to be understood that these forms were narrowly limited shapes but that they were self-aware spiritual beings which were also able to radiate their light and strength in all directions, which were equipped with the ability to think and free will, which recognized themselves as creatures of an infinitely stronger power and which were also in contact with this power through the word …. They were in fullest knowledge, because God revealed Himself to them through the word, since His creatures were unable to behold Him yet should constantly know about His presence, about His will and about their actual purpose …. And their bliss was immeasurable, for they were also permeated by love and the aim of their love was only ever God, Who made them ever more happy. But they did not remain in this bliss …. for that being, which was initially created by God, which first came into being as a result of His will to love, was not satisfied with merely hearing its creator …. it also wanted to behold Him, and because this desire could not be fulfilled for it …. since the eternal centre of light and strength is not visible to the beings emanated by Him …. it recognized itself as the first and supreme visible entity, which was therefore also recognizable as such to all spiritual, self-aware beings, and it raised itself to become their dominating power …. This being certainly knew that it itself was also first created, and thus it also had to acknowledge the creating power as being above it, for the word which proved the God and creator also sounded to it …. It also knew about His will, it had the brightest realization itself. But it also possessed free will. And this will was directed against God …. The being did not want to be dependent on a higher power, it did not want to draw its strength from God but it believed itself to be powerful to such an extent that it rejected God’s strength. It doubted God’s strength because He did not present Himself to it in a visible way. And it also tried to transfer its will to the beings which its creator’s will had let arise from God with the use of strength. For to be full of light and strength also meant to be able to create and shape without limitation. But the will directed against God had the consequence that light and strength diminished because this will now prevented the influx of the strength of love from God. Consequently, the first-created being also took …. now the adversary of God …. diminished in light and strength the more it exerted itself by creating ever new beings …. As long as he made use of God’s strength he was therefore also able to create, but when he rejected it his creative power was also put to an end …. the more his resistance to God increased, the more his creative power decreased …. For the apostasy from God was not a sudden one, but took place over an endless period of time. It began with a brief turning away and repeated opening of oneself to God’s strength of love and thus also the continued creation of new beings, and it ended with complete resistance to the divine illumination of love …. which also meant complete inability to create. But God’s adversary now saw his strength in the endless host of beings created by his will. For with diminishing strength the light of knowledge had also diminished, so that he, darkened in spirit, was unable to recognize the significance of his resistance to God …. He is devoid of all knowledge and creative power …. but he nevertheless has great power, for it consists in his great following, which is fundamentally ‘strength from God’, as well as he himself is once-radiated strength. His and his followers’ power therefore consists in being able to offer resistance …. and thus to prevent God Himself, Who does not violently break any resistance, from making His creatures happy. God is love, and love creates bliss. Those beings therefore believe they have power over God because they impose restrictions on Him in His activity of love …. They rebel against God and are not hindered in their intention because God’s love does not force itself but has to be accepted voluntarily. Their whole strength therefore consists of offering resistance themselves and also influencing the more yielding spiritual to intensified resistance …. And they also retain this strength until they voluntarily surrender and, through God’s illumination of love, also regain possession of creative power …. (15.7.1957) But they will never be able to use their strength to let things of any kind come into being …. They lack creative power, for this is only effective in association with God; but as soon as the being places itself outside God’s circle of love, it can also no longer draw the ‘creating’ power …. and thus also God’s counter-spirit, which deprived itself of the strength flowing to it through its ever-deepening fall. Before Jesus’ death on the cross his strength was sufficient to keep his followers in bondage, that is, to prevent them from drawing strength of love from God in order to be able to detach themselves from him. For he kept them in complete blindness and they did not recognize the cause of their weakness and blindness. But this power has also been broken through Jesus Christ, and thus the once fallen beings can also find redemption. And now the adversary only concentrates his remaining power on his God-opposing activity, that he thus seeks to destroy what God let come into being, that he seeks to dissolve material shells in order to liberate the spiritual within …. in the belief that he will thereby regain it himself. But even for such destructions his power is not enough and every work of creation is safe from his direct destructive influence …. And therefore he tries it in a roundabout way by trying to make the human being’s will submissive to his plans …. Thus the human being who has a certain amount of strength in earthly life again for the purpose of testing his own will has to carry out such destructions. Nevertheless, satan’s power is still inconceivably great, only towards this very appendage, which is why Jesus Christ died on the cross to bring salvation to the once fallen, to help him against him. But when the fall of Lucifer is spoken of, this fall covered eons, periods of time for which you have no conception. And countless beings were created in these endless periods of time, for Lucifer’s separation from God was not suddenly accomplished, and thus as long as he still kept contact with God he also still drew the strength necessary for creation from God, which is why all beings are also God’s share and His work of return applies to all beings. But the created beings became more and more God-opposing the more their creator turned away from God of his own free will until Lucifer was able to create the infinite creation …. until Lucifer persuaded the endless host of created spirits to completely separate from God …. until he considered himself the source of strength and influenced the created beings in the same sense so that they blindly followed him when they were given the right of self-determination by which they could have separated themselves from their creator and turned to God, Who also revealed Himself to them in the fullest light but Whom they were unable to behold either. But the countless fallen beings also need eons for their complete return …. And therefore new creations have to arise again and again, i.e., again and again hardened spiritual substance, the deeply sunk spiritual substance, is dissolved and banished in these creations in order to start on the path of return to God …. But the resistance of the last created substance is so strong that it still has to spend endless times in its hardening before it can also start the ascent in the works of creation …. Thus new creations will also arise throughout endless times which God’s will, His wisdom and might, will allow to emerge, and His adversary’s power and strength will diminish more and more because every new creation will wrest a part of its adherence from him, even if eternities will still pass until even the last fallen thing has become matter …. But the deeply fallen is not conscious of being …. and therefore cannot harass the already more mature spiritual. It is completely suspended, and struck with blindness it merely contributes to strengthening the opponent of God’s consciousness of power …. because he too is completely without knowledge. Only once the spiritual substance has regained self-awareness and now directs its will wrongly again will it be able to use its power on behalf of its lord and wreak havoc among people …. And this is the right granted by God to His adversary to fight for his followers during the time of freedom of will as a human being. He and his vassals truly make good use of this time, but the human being has a very safe help in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, and if he makes use of it the adversary’s strength and power is completely broken, then he has become free from him and finally returns to his father’s house again ….
Amen

Exceeding authority …. banishment ….
B.D. 6873 from July 17th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Spiritual activity will never be prevented by Me as long as it does not exceed the limits I have set for such activity which is directed against Me. Hence you must distinguish between activity which completely corresponds to My will, which is therefore carried out by spiritual beings who are servants of My will, who utilize the flow of My strength of love on My behalf …. and an activity which precisely opposes this activity of love, which therefore also originates from spiritual forces but which act on My adversary’s behalf. And this activity is permitted to a certain extent, because all activity …. from both the good and the bad side …. is the struggle for people’s souls, which is My aim and also My adversary’s aim to win. Since it is now about a lawful battle, because those souls are just as much Mine as his share, My adversary has also been granted the right to be allowed to influence the soul as a human being during his earthly progress. And he makes use of this right in every way. He is also very successful because people, in their imperfection, still carry much of his spirit within themselves and are more open to his influence than to the influence from My side; but since it concerns a free decision of the soul’s will I do not hinder him in his activity. But to the same extent as he wins back souls for himself again, I wrest from him once-fallen spiritual things in order to bind them in matter for the purpose of beginning his upward development …. But this course of development takes eternities until the spiritual has reached the stage of a human being. And even then there is still no guarantee that it will pass the test of will in the last stage …. It can also descend into the abyss again, and endless periods of time can pass until I have reached the aim I pursue, because again and again the negative influence on the part of My adversary can destroy what I have achieved so far …. But I nevertheless let him work, for he, too, emerged from My strength of love, he, too, was a child of My love which was allowed to share all beatitudes with Me before it fell. But restrictions are imposed on his former power and strength …. which he has to observe or I will stop his free activity. I have established this limit in the human being’s will itself, for he is not allowed to force it. The human being can decide for himself whether he wants to surrender to its influence or withdraw from it …. And thus it is also considered coercion of will if My adversary influences certain people in such a way that they deprive their fellow human beings of the opportunity to make a decision …. that people’s thinking is thus forcibly directed and processed only one-sidedly, that all knowledge about Me and My act of salvation is prevented …. Then My adversary exceeds his power, and then I Myself intervene in order to completely disable him for a time. However, this deactivation of the adversary will also involve the binding of his followers at the same time, whose spiritual activity will then also have assumed an impermissible degree, which is why the process of redemption has come to a standstill and absolutely needs to be reshaped. But binding the followers also means purifying the spiritual sphere so that they can no longer have a devastating effect on people’s souls. But since, in turn, a two-sided influence is necessary for the decision of will, this purification of the spiritual sphere can only be possible when such a decision of will has already been made …. when people on earth have therefore freely decided in favour of Me despite strong opposing influence. And only such people can then enliven earth when the adversary and his followers are bound …. And as long as the descendants of these people, because they were conceived in spiritual purity, are completely devoted to Me, My adversary will also have no access to people …. but in later times they will grant him access again themselves through a recognizable downward inclination which will loosen his chains. For people on the new earth also possess the knowledge of him and his power, of his nature and his aim, and by virtue of their free will they are always free to join him willingly. And again, I do not curtail their will and accordingly also loosen its fetters so that it can take possession of what freely demands to be its own. For I do not exert any compulsion, not even on My counter-spirit, which I do not dispute its right …. But he must bow to Me as soon as he abuses the right granted to him …. For I alone am the lord of heaven and earth, of the light world and the dark world, Who truly works in light, wisdom and omnipotence and Who therefore also rules according to justice and righteousness in heaven and on earth ….
Amen

The blessing of doubting …. Truth ….
B.D. 6874 from July 18th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
The fact that doubts creep into your hearts time and again is insofar favourable as that you will think about the questions that move you and subsequently can also be influenced by the beings which try to clarify your doubts. However, only such doubts are meant by this which befall a serious seeker, which motivate a person to keep searching and asking for more …. and not those doubts which makes indifferent people feel justified into rejecting the information offered to them because they don’t actually desire it, who will therefore never acknowledge a bearer of truth. Their doubts are merely excuses and an escape into darkness again. Serious seekers, however, are not instantly satisfied and their doubts can become a blessing for them since they do not stop questioning, and precisely this provides the beings of light with the opportunity to mentally influence them time and again until their thinking becomes clarified and what previously had still been doubtful to them will become a conviction. The thinking human being will generally not be superficial either by simply dismissing what does not seem credible to him, but he will dig deeper before he completely rejects a teaching he has received. Thus doubt can lead to clarification as well as protection against the acceptance of errors if a person endeavours to know the truth. This is why a person should not be condemned by voicing reservations, for they only testify to genuine seriousness. But he should also consider the possibility and not rest until he has completely gained an inner conviction so that he can either accept the information as truth or safely dismiss it as error. And doubts help him in order to gain this conviction. A person who deems himself knowledgeable cannot be instructed anymore, for he is no longer receptive to the currents from the world of light, he only uses his intellect but he doesn’t hear what is whispered to him by enlightened beings.
However, someone who doubts listens within, he asks questions and then certainly also believes that he is able to solve these doubts himself in an intellectual way, but as soon as he seriously strives for the truth he can rely on the fact that his thinking will be guided correctly, for the serious seeker of truth has this guarantee, because God as the Eternal Truth will also allow Himself to be found by him. This is why the human being determines the value of knowledge he acquires himself …. since it only depends on how seriously he desires the truth. And for this, too, he should give account to himself, for everyone knows that ‘people can err’ …. that he therefore cannot rely on knowledge he has received from other people, and that he therefore must also be willing to relinquish that knowledge if he can receive the ‘pure truth’. And he can only ever desire and receive pure truth at the source of the truth. Hence he must inform God of the knowledge he received previously and appeal to him for clarification as to what extent it corresponds to truth. And God will truly grant this appeal and perhaps even place doubts into his heart, for the transmission of pure truth can only take place if the person opens himself in order to receive what he desires from the highest source: the pure truth from God …. This mainly concerns spiritual knowledge, but even earthly thoughts will be guided correctly in a person who has taken this path to God, to the source of truth. And the profound inner certainty, the firm conviction, which he will then feel is the best assurance that he has taken the right path, for no objection to the contrary will be able to shake his point of view, he will also be able to maintain it towards his fellow human beings without doubting it again …. unless new problems arise which he will also safely be able to solve again in the same way …. For God gives the truth to all who merely desire it sincerely but withholds it from those who rely on their own strength, who try to intellectually ascertain that which is known by God alone ….
Amen

Which forces trigger natural disasters? ….
B.D. 6875 from July 21st 1957, taken from Book No. 74
With every spiritual gift you receive the evidence of My love, for you shall not remain in darkness, you shall increase in light and strength, in realisation and strong will and live and work on earth accordingly. For every activity in blindness of spirit, in wrong thinking, is worthless for the soul, and since it is My will that your soul shall mature on earth your activity must have a purpose, which only the light of realisation can achieve. And thus time and again I will enlighten you where it is still dark in you. I will instruct you truthfully and repeatedly pour out My spirit over you as soon as you present Me the opened vessel so that I can fill it when your heart longs for My Words. You very often still shelter misguided thoughts, especially when you cannot let go of knowledge, of concepts, which did not come to you by way of the spirit, which cannot be called the ‘working of the spirit’ but which were intellectually acquired and possibly even combined with spiritual findings, on account of which you don’t question its truth. But it is not pure truth and therefore you cannot attain complete clarification until you let go of this mental knowledge, until you are willing to abandon it, because only then will there be brightness in you which will illuminate every corner of your heart. Only someone who is in constant contact with Me will be able to understand that, he will therefore also instantly recognise when he is approached by error …. because this realisation is the result of his heartfelt contact with Me. And so every one of you, too, can become released from error through this heartfelt bond with Me. For I do not allow you to entertain erroneous thoughts and one way or another will convey the truth to you:
The creative process requires strength …. this will be obvious to all of you. Strength is My emanation of love which is accepted without resistance. Consequently, only a being which voluntarily opens itself to receive strength and therefore does not resist Me in any way which would render My every illumination of love ineffective, can be creatively active …. From this follows that the flow of My strength of love can only permeate beings which have joined Me already, which can no longer be counted amongst My adversary’s followers, for they are still opposed to Me, otherwise they would no longer be his adherents. Hence these beings can neither participate in creating nor destroy creations because they lack all strength to do so …. precisely because they repel this strength of Mine through their opposition. However, I always speak of beings …. of self-aware spiritual beings, I speak of the once fallen original spirits which started their fall into the abyss as individual beings and which also have to return to Me again as individual beings. But the once fallen original spirits only became self-aware again in the human stage …. whereas prior to that …. as dissolved spiritual substances …. they were not self-aware. Only in a state of self-awareness can the being accept My strength of love of its own free will or even reject it again, and only in this state can it be creatively or destructively active. But now you humans can also observe destructions which cause you to make wrong assumptions …. These destructions or influences are accomplished by natural forces, by elemental forces, and are not, as you believe, a manifestation of the forces of darkness. First you need to be instructed as to what these natural forces basically are, to whose will and whose power they are subject …. You should know that I allow all spiritual substances a certain amount of freedom once they have made some progress in a state of compulsion and thus they can temporarily remain unconstrained, that is, if they had to leave their shell prematurely and have not yet entered a new form. In that case people will have intervened contrary to My lawful order and thereby so incensed the released spirits about the unlawfully interrupted process of development that they went on a rampage. And they are, in fact, entitled to do so, because premature liberation is no real freedom for the spiritual substance, in fact it is so painful that it wants to take revenge on the human race for having caused this pain. This becomes particularly apparent when the normal growth of botanical creations is shortened due to greed, to avarice, when human will destroys creations of nature which, according to My plan of Creation and Salvation, also serve their purpose and are therefore unlawfully prevented from fulfilling their intended purpose. The same also applies when useful earthly creations …. i.e. fashioned by human hand …. are wilfully destroyed, so that the bound spiritual substances therein are prematurely released …. Hence I do not prevent these spiritual substances from united elemental activity …. but I only allow it for a certain length of time in order to constrain them again for the purpose of further development ….
However, huge manifestations of strength, as recognisable in natural disasters, need to be explained and assessed differently …. The degree of opposition of all spirits is known to Me, and therefore I also know when it lessens, when the restraint of the bound substance in hard matter can be eased. These spiritual entities test their strength by joining forces in order to burst their chains. Since the opposition to the strength of love …. which hitherto encased it in form of matter …. has already become weaker the spirits’ strength has become stronger to the same extent, and I do not stop these spirits from forcefully creating their next form for development themselves …. Consequently, I allow the still completely immature spiritual substance to release itself from its present state earlier, which happens in the form of more or less violent natural disasters, in eruptions, earthquakes, thus in such natural catastrophes which originate inside the earth and should therefore be regarded as manifestations of strength by the bound spiritual substances there. But this ‘destructive’ urge is by no means a sign of increased opposition towards Me and therefore My opposing spirit’s activity or influence, instead it is merely the urge for another, easier form; admittedly, it is an unconscious urge but, as a result of reduced opposition, one which naturally arises in the spirits, which I do not prevent because these spirits will be bound again anyway for further development in order to come yet another step closer to Me. Even if it seems to you humans that My adversary’s forces are at work …. he can neither change nor destroy My works of creation, so all such events must be assigned to My will and My might but they all have a spiritual purpose at the same time …. even if countless human lives fall prey to them. For even the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creations of earth are given the opportunity to continue their path of development. Terminating a person’s life on earth also happens for a reason, My love and wisdom will truly not harm anything, so that whatever happens is beneficial for the soul of the individual person affected by it. What the human being regards as a misfortune need not be a disaster …. unless he loses faith and totally hands himself over to My opposing spirit’s control. In that case, however, he had already been his follower and even then he can still change his will, precisely because it is free. But any natural activity resulting in devastation or destruction can only be caused by the spiritual substance which is either still banished in solid matter and tries to release itself or which was unlawfully released from softer forms and thus rages because its process of development was cut short …. However, spiritual beings working on My adversary’s instruction will never be able to manifest themselves in such a destructive way, because these beings are self-aware and have no strength at their disposal for such activity. Earthly creations are certainly My adversary’s domain because his followers are banished in them …. yet they are solely governed by My will and everything in a bound state is subject to My law ….
Amen

Faith without love is dead ….
B.D. 6876 from July 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 74
You would never ever have been able to redeem yourselves had I not accomplished the act of Salvation on your behalf. My infinite love wanted to lift you out of a wretched state although it was caused through your own fault …. Consequently, it was an act of grace and mercy for you, it was an unmerited gift which is at your disposable if you want to become as blessed again as you were in the beginning. Hence the Words ‘only by grace can you be saved ….’ However, without this act of Salvation of Mine you would never have been able to attain beatitude, for you did not have enough strength to lift yourselves out of the abyss and your will was even weaker, so that you would not strive to release yourselves from Satan’s bondage either. Thus it is imperative that you make use of the blessings of the act of Salvation …. And this first of all requires your faith in the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself in order to suffer and die for you humans, in order to acquire an inconceivable treasure of grace for you as Jesus, the man. Without this faith in Me you will never make contact with Me and appeal to Me for help, for a stronger will, for the strength to be able to ascend …. But what is to be understood as ‘faith in the divine Redeemer’? If the words ‘I believe in Him’ alone were enough then Salvation would truly be assured to the greatest part of the human race, for these words are very often and by many people said. But these words alone are not enough for Me to grant beatitudes according to My promise ‘He that believeth in Me hath everlasting life ….’ I demand a living faith, complete inner conviction of what you humans are taught about the sacrifice on the cross by those who proclaim the Gospel to you on My instructions …. However, in order to attain this inner conviction it requires an already awakened spirit which enlightens the person from within, which gives him an understanding of the cause, of the reason for the act of love which the man Jesus accomplished …. Only what the human being understands will he be able to believe with conviction …. Thus a person must first give his inner spark of love the opportunity to manifest itself, which can only be brought about by love again. An entirely unloving person can therefore indeed say the words ‘I believe in Jesus Christ’ but he lacks all inner conviction, consequently, he will never be able to acquire eternal life either. Only love recognises Him, and thus I demand a faith that has come alive through love …. But even the concept of ‘love’ shall be explained, for this word, too, is frequently misused ….
All you humans experience love, but you must ask yourselves in which direction your love aims …. you must learn to differentiate between the desiring and the giving love …. the temporal love, which always wants to own, and the pure divine love, which always wants to give happiness. The fact that an earthly- inclined love will not awaken the divine spiritual spark in you is self-evident, thus it must be the unselfish, happiness-giving love which should be kindled in order to allow for the ‘working of the spirit’ in you. This love is strength which, once the person has kindled it, will never let him rest, which constantly impels him into loving activity, which is not satisfied with emotions but which completely transform the person’s nature, so that he increasingly more often enters into contact with Me, because ‘Whoever remains in love remains in God and I in him ….’And such love subsequently will also yield a living faith, for the contact with Me through love must also lead to brightest realisation, so that the significance of the act of Salvation is clearly revealed to him and that nothing can shake his faith anymore …. ‘Whoever remains in love remains in God and I in him ….’ Anyone who spends serious thought on these Words must also realise that a person, who is most intimately in contact with Me through love, will also be permeated by My strength of love, that the flow of strength will flow into him …. but that this influx of strength will no longer allow for inactivity. Thus the strength of love must somehow take effect …. and namely in a way which testifies to the source of this strength, in an activity which is ‘wanted by God’ …. in all kinds of loving actions. The person can simply no longer refrain from taking loving actions as soon as he is permeated by My strength of love, and thus his love will also prove itself by implementing good deeds …. The human being will more or less show his love for Me in selfless works of neighbourly love and thereby join Me ever more firmly and be saved for time and eternity …. For in that case he believes in Me and My act of Salvation, he has already found redemption because this proven love demonstrates his release from My adversary, who shies away from love because he lacks all love himself. No-one without love will have a living faith, and no-one will feel love within himself who does not manifest it in good deeds, because love is a force which impels people into loving activity. And the reason why no living faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation can be found anymore in the last days …. is because love has grown cold amongst people …. Therefore time and time again love must be preached to people first, love for one’s neighbour must be so strongly emphasised because only this love testifies to love for Me, and love for one’s neighbour will also always require an activity, be it of an earthly or psychological nature …. earthly or spiritual help, which, understandably, will only be valued if it is motivated by love …. All this is so easy to understand and yet, without love, people’s thinking is and will remain confused. But the ‘redemption’ consists of the fact that the human being abandons his opposition and allows himself to be illuminated by My strength of love again as in the beginning, when the spiritual being was still perfect …. From love you once emerged and you shall become love again, only then will you be, and remain, blissfully happy for all eternity ….
Amen

'Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect…'
B.D. 6877 from July 24th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
You were granted a length of time for your salvation, and this time is fully sufficient for you to liberate yourselves and enter the kingdom of light after the death of your body, providing you make correct use of it and avail yourselves of all blessings which are at your disposal throughout this time. I truly do not expect the impossible of you, and My Words ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect…’ would be unjustified were it difficult or impossible to attain perfection on earth. Nevertheless, it requires your will to reach the goal on account of which you live on earth …. Your will is free, and this alone determines which degree of maturity your soul has attained at the end of your life on earth. Even though unlimited blessings are at your disposal you must use them of your own free will, since they do not compel you in any way, instead they simply remain ineffective if they are not gladly and gratefully accepted. This flow of grace is available to all people …. thus all people can attain perfection on earth. And so no-one is more disadvantaged than another person, no-one is privileged to receive a greater measure of blessings. But one person can certainly unearth the great treasure of grace, whilst another can disregard it and move on …. The acceptance and use of blessings does not depends on a person’s fate, on his circumstances or his worldly sphere of activity, for every human being has the opportunity to accept an unlimited measure of blessings, since it is merely a matter of soul, a matter of free will, because no earthly power or no earthly living conditions can force a person to forgo spiritual wealth providing the person is willing to make mental contact with Me and appeals to Me for grace and strength. For this is conveyed to him by Me at the exclusion of earthly obstacles. These are possessions which are imparted to the soul and can be received by every person to the same extent. It merely depends on the direction of the human being’s will, and the direction of his will is not enforced by any side.
At the start of its embodiment as a human being the soul is indeed enclosed by thick layers which prevent the penetration of light, but a tiny spark nevertheless shines within which influences it to think and want in a benign way …. If it complies with this influence it will become increasingly more enlightened within; if it ignores it, it will already have rejected a blessing for, especially at the beginning of its embodiment, it is accompanied by spiritual guardians, regardless of the human being’s circumstances. They will not exert force either; nevertheless, the person can turn towards that which is good, because these spiritual guardians will prevent evil influence from enslaving the will. And as soon as the human being can think for himself, he also has the ability to differentiate between good and bad, because he will be affected in the same way by the results of other people’s good and bad actions. Even if external circumstances were to force him into bad actions, his innermost will can resist it …. and this will therefore shapes the human being. However, a good will always accepts blessings, and these flow to it truly without restriction. Consequently, every soul has the opportunity to completely discard its layers during the time at its disposal. It can attain perfection, for every weakness can be balanced out by blessings, providing the human being is willing to make use of the treasure of grace at his disposal, for the latter was gained by Jesus Christ through His death at the cross, so no-one needs to remain weak, no-one is hopelessly exposed to My adversary …. every person can become blessed by grace …. He need only turn his free will towards the divine Redeemer; as long he is still unenlightened and therefore has no knowledge or realisation, he must comply with the inspiration from the indwelling spiritual spark which urges him into good intentions and actions. Only then will he make use of the great treasure of grace and he will also always be receptive to the influx of blessings which will never cease as long as the human being lives on earth, but it will always require free will in order to let it take effect, in which case, however, the attainment of the goal of becoming perfect will be guaranteed.
Amen

"Judgment" means "to judge anew – to classify" ….
B.D. 6878 from July 25th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Judged beings are all of you, i.e. bound according to your spiritual state …. And therefore, when a ‘near judgment’ is announced to you, which is connected with the end of this earth, it means that all spiritual beings will be ‘judged’ again according to their state of maturity, thus they will have to take on the form which corresponds to this state …. that order will therefore be restored which is law from eternity. You are all still in judgment as long as you are not yet allowed to enliven the spiritual kingdom as free spiritual beings, as long as you still walk the path across the earth, consciously or unconsciously as being bound in the works of creation …. You are in a state of judgement as long as you are not yet free. But ‘judgment’ is not to be understood as a state of punishment. It is certainly an act of God’s justice which, however, is always also founded in His love and wisdom but must never be regarded as a punitive act on His part, for God only wants to save but never to condemn. However, salvation is only possible within the order of eternity, and if this order is overturned, which is certainly possible through human free will, it must therefore always be restored …. that which has stepped out of order must be ‘straightened’. And such an act of re-arrangement is imminent for you humans and also for the spiritual bound on this earth …. For at the end of an earth period there is complete chaos spiritually and earthly. Through the activity of God’s adversary everything has become disordered and spiritual ascent development has therefore become impossible. The fact that people have to answer to their God and creator in the end is therefore to be understood in such a way that the spiritual state of each individual cannot be kept hidden from God, that everything is obvious to Him and He therefore also knows about its fate, about the sphere in which the soul now takes abode, or about the forms which a re-dissolved soul has to take in its individual particles …. For everything is revealed to Him, and His office of judgement consists in the ‘reclassification’ of everything spiritual …. which is thus equal to the concepts of bliss and damnation. His justice and His love are decisive, for even the state of banishment is only a means to help the fallen spirits to ascend again, but it cannot be ignored because justice could not permit such …. And therefore the judgment must also be feared by people who have stepped out of divine order, for nothing else can earn them a new banishment in the creations, which is why it cannot be mentioned strongly enough, because the short time until the end is still sufficient for a change of nature if the human being seriously strives for it. For God’s love and mercy still seeks to save everything from the end which is not entirely contrary to Him …. He also helps the greatest sinner, but He cannot eliminate His justice and make happy the one who does not deserve it ….

The water of life must be drawn from the spring ….
B.D. 6879 from July 27th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Only at the spring is the water of life clear and pure, and only there can you draw strength and be nourished without having to fear taking in substances harmful to your soul. Only at the source is unadulterated truth, only at the source can you receive the nourishment directly from God’s hand, which is the right food and the right drink for your soul. And that is why you humans will always be pointed to the right source, that is why the spring has been made accessible to you from which you can drink and refresh yourselves at any time, because God wants you not to be forced to feed your soul inferior nourishment which does not serve you to mature. And you can all seek out this source, for you only need to make heartfelt contact with God and ask Him that He Himself will feed and water you …. He will certainly grant you this request, for He wants to speak to you Himself, and He can do so as soon as you open yourselves to His address. And if this heartfelt request has preceded it, then it doesn’t matter where and how you listen to or read the ‘word of God’, for now God can intervene Himself, He can speak through the mouth of an earthly servant, He can guide your thoughts when you accept His word from the scriptures, He will always speak to you Himself because this heartfelt request for His soul nourishment has preceded it. And then you need not fear that you have received food which is unhealthy for your soul. And so you now have …. as the influence of His adversary …. spiritual knowledge is conveyed to you as an influence of His adversary, you will also recognize it as erroneous, your soul will resist accepting it, it will refuse the food offered to it. And this, too, is God’s visible working in you that you recognize what does not come from Himself. And thus no human being needs to worry about which school of thought is the right one, for God’s address can be conveyed to the human being in all denominations if only he sincerely desires it, because God truly complies with this request …. But for the most part people are content when they are dutifully ‘hearers of the word’, and the desire to offer their soul food and drink is lacking. And so then the soul satisfies itself with food that is not good …. it is too far away from the source, and the water is no longer pure and clear and therefore no longer has the sanctifying and cleansing effect. It is also often poisoned, and the soul that enjoys it always becomes sicker and weaker, it is unable to rise and ascend, because (interruption)
(14.1.1958) (supplement requested)
everything impure has a paralysing effect, and nothing can go up …. to God …. what comes from below and pulls down to the depth. No soul will reach the light either, for light only ever comes from above, while the depth only spreads darkness. The right source, however, will always be free and open and accessible to every person, but it will also always require a small ascent. And this already shows that the human being has to make an effort himself if he wants to draw from the source of life. And therefore there is always the danger that the water is polluted the deeper it flows, i.e. the word of God can no longer convey the strength to the soul, which is thoughtlessly listened to in places where the human being accepts it without his soul having first travelled the path of ascent to God Himself …. in order to appeal to Him to give it the right food and the right drink. For God Himself must offer the water of life to every human being, it must be drawn from the original source, for God Himself must first bless the gifts if they are to benefit the human being’s soul ….

End Prophecies …. Are you My Own? ….
B.D. 6882 from July 30th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Anyone who regards himself as one of My Own also knows that the last days have started, that humanity is facing a spiritual and earthly turning point. For My Own are informed by the spirit, My Own can be spoken to by the spirit and hear My voice, either directly or in their thoughts …. And they also faithfully accept My Word which is given to them by My messengers and has originated from Me …. Thus My Own know what time they live in, they know that the last hour of the world’s clock will strike soon, that night will begin to engulf countless people on this earth and that a new day will begin to dawn for others, for the few who will remain true to Me until the end, who belong to My small flock …. which I call ‘My Own’. And they still have a task on earth: to inform their fellow human beings of what earth can expect …. this will not be easy, for despite the fact that My Own are convinced of the truthfulness of My Word …. thus also of the proclamations about the end and the Judgment …. fellow human beings will not believe them and indignantly turn away when the last days are mentioned to them. Nevertheless, time and again they should try to point out that My announced end will not be far away.
And as confirmation of this you should also draw their attention to the natural disaster which will put the whole world into turmoil beforehand …. And you should also tell them that the subsequent end can be expected with the same certainty, for through this natural disaster I still want to give people a final warning, a final sign, to make it easier for them to believe what you tell them …. Anyone who is enlightened himself should also let the light shine into the darkness …. Anyone who believes in Me and My Word himself should also try to show his fellow human beings the way to faith, and do so kindly so as not to arouse resistance …. And therefore the natural disaster will not keep you waiting for very long, since it is also intended to contribute towards preparing people for the end …. You should also mention the natural disaster, My intervention, which every person will be able to take notice of, for it will be of enormous proportions and cannot be dismissed as an everyday occurrence …. Thus you should constantly point to this event and not be afraid to speak about it openly, for it will come with absolute certainty …. And anyone who has heard about it from you will also find it easier to believe in the announced end. Thus My Own shall be capable workers for Me, even if their work merely consists of speaking about the forthcoming events ….
Then they will already render Me an immense service, for I want people to know but can only give them the information through a human mouth, which they then may or may not believe, but at least they will have heard of it and will also remember it when the day comes that the whole world will hold its breath in view of the natural catastrophe which will bring overwhelming suffering to the people who experience it …. Do not fear that you spread misguided prophesies but speak frankly and openly that I Myself conveyed them to you and that you firmly believe in My Words …. They will not be able to call you liars, for sooner than they think they will get the confirmation. Yet people should use this knowledge to shed their doubts in regards to the proclamations of the end …. With that, much will already have been achieved, because then they can prepare themselves and thus be saved from the abyss ….
Amen
Revelation 20, 1-6
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

The will's decision in favour of God ….
B.D. 6885 from August 2nd 1957, taken from Book No. 74
You will always be nourished with life-giving strength if only you want to attain life. You should just for once think about your soul’s fate, you should not only consider your earthly life but the life of the soul, which you are meant to gain on this earth. You should reflect on what your soul is missing and try to quench its hunger and thirst …. you should strive spiritually during your earthly life …. That is all I expect of you, for once this will breaks through in you, you will also receive help to attain the goal. And thus it merely depends on your will that the Father looks after you and guides you …. Where this serious will exists there is no more danger of falling into My opponent’s hands because then I will have the right to protect you against him. Hence, anyone who wants Me to accept him is already accepted by Me and will then also receive the strength to live according to My will on earth. This is why everyone who is of serious will can be secure in the knowledge that he is in safe hands in My care and My protection …. And about this he has to give account to himself …. If his thoughts and intentions are still firmly inclined towards the world then his will is not serious, then he deceives himself even if he tries to testify to his will with words. For the will towards Me is already a turning away from the world, because no-one can serve two masters, Me and My adversary at the same time, who is the lord of this world. Although the human being is living in the world and will have to do justice to many demands …. there is nevertheless a difference whether his heart is attached to the goods and pleasures of this world, whether they occupy his thoughts and intentions …. or whether he only uses the goods of the world as far as they are needed for his sphere of activity he is in charge of …. Merely the heart’s inmost desire is the decisive factor as to which lord can take possession of the human being. And this has to be answered by the person himself and in all truthfulness, as not even the slightest movement of the heart can be hidden from Me …. Therefore I also know whose will belongs to Me exclusively and whom I can subsequently guide and draw towards Me …. I also know who voices what are simply words which lack this utter sincerity of will. Nevertheless, I also take care of these, but the success is only guaranteed when the heart has undevidedly chosen Me. For then the human being will come to Me like a child to the Father and My Fatherly love will take hold of it and forever keep it with Me …. But in that case the human being is also willing to help his soul attain full maturity, he will provide it with nourishment and refreshment and not just live an earthly but also a spiritual life …. he need no longer fear to go astray, for he will be holding on to My hand and unwaveringly walk towards the goal ….

God exhorts to believe in the end ….
B.D. 6889 from August 8th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Every day brings you closer to the end, every day leads you to beatitude in paradise on the new earth or also to the abyss when you experience the end in a state which requires a new banishment …. This is an incontrovertible certainty, for what is determined in My plan from eternity will also be kept, and the day of the end is therefore fixed and it is imminent for you in a short time …. If you would now rely on this announcement of Mine, then you would also arrange your life accordingly …. The spiritually striving ones would be even more eagerly concerned about their soul’s salvation, the worldly people, on the other hand, would enjoy earthly life even more and still try to savour all pleasures before the end comes …. But these lack all faith, and those only have a weak faith because the announcement for an ‘end of this earth’ demands such unusual things to be believed, because such an event has never been experienced before and no evidence is left for earlier similar events. Everyone does not take My words seriously enough, and a slight doubt about it is also in the hearts of My own, because they are ‘human beings’ who are only ever able to grasp limited things, and such an end as I predict to them is so immense that they cannot conceive of it …. but you shall believe Me …. For I do not send you words from above which do not correspond to the truth …. Nor will I let you be misled by forces which work on behalf of My adversary, because you have to carry out a mission: to do the work on earth for Me in the last days which can only be done by people. Through you I want to stimulate people into eager soul work, I want to speak to everyone through the mouth of a human being in order to still save what has not completely fallen prey to My adversary …. The service you should render Me only consists of passing on My word to your fellow human beings, and therefore you can only receive pure truth from Me. And therefore you also enjoy every protection against the forces which ascend from the kingdom of darkness and try to dim or extinguish the light from above …. Therefore you need not fear that doubtful spiritual knowledge will come to you, and you can spread the words I speak to you without hesitation and in all certainty in order to send warnings and admonitions to humanity, because the end is coming ever closer …. I will never tell you the day and hour so as not to make you incapable of the work you should and can still do in firm trust in Me, your God and father of eternity …. but I can only ever point out to you that you don’t have much time left …. And this serious admonition will be sent to you time and again in order to increase your zeal, for you must not become lukewarm. And you would do well to live and speak as if tomorrow were already the last day …. For it comes unexpectedly …. Although you will still experience My intervention beforehand, but it will not be long in coming either, and the end will soon follow it …. And if you were only able to roughly assess the great significance of the end of one redemption period and the beginning of a new one for the course of development of everything spiritual …. and especially for the people now living on earth, then you would also be able to understand why I send these words to you again and again and why I admonish you, who are and want to remain My own, to firmly believe in My words. For only in faith do you speak with conviction, and only a profound faith also gives your words the power of persuasion for your fellow human beings …. only the certainty of your speech will make them questionable. For mention must be made of the end, and whoever believes in it will also still make use of the time and not be lost ….
Amen

Received after conversation with "Jehovah's Witnesses" …. (part)
B.D. 6890 from August 10th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
…. But a calling to ‘work in the vineyard for the lord’ requires more than intellectually acquired knowledge …. it requires being ‘taught by God’. But if they were taught by God, then there would truly be no differences of opinion, then all servants of the lord would teach the same and there could no longer be different schools of thought. And yet each one claims the right to represent truth. And almost all of them are based on the scriptures, the ‘book of books’ …. and yet they teach differently. The word, however, always remains the same and originated from God. Should God therefore teach His representatives differently …. if they all believe that they are taught by God through ‘the word’? For no one can deny that the representatives of many faiths contradict each other, but that they all seek to substantiate their teachings with ‘the scriptures’. But let it be said to all of them that knowledge of the letters is not enough to extract truth from them but that God’s spirit has to enlighten them first and that this enlightenment through the spirit is an absolute prerequisite to be called by God Himself for a teaching ministry on earth, so that fellow human beings will receive the truth which only the ‘spirit from God’ can convey. Consider that even the most valuable book can be closed to you if it is not deciphered for you first. And therefore you, who believe yourselves to be entitled to teach, should not always refer to a book which is still closed to you and to which you have not yet found the key: an awakened spirit which guides you into all truth …. You must all be taught by God …. and only then will you also be able to bring truth to your fellow human beings. However, you cannot consider yourselves ‘taught by God’ as long as your opinions contradict each other. And the many different schools of thought are proof of this, that …. although they all claim to draw from one source …. they have not yet found the right source, Which is God, the living word, Who reveals Himself to all those who sincerely want to be taught by God ….
Amen

God's unusual workings in the end time ….
B.D. 6899 from August 21st 1957, taken from Book No. 74
I can only ever instruct you and make My will known to you …. but I cannot force you to accept these instructions or to fulfil My will if I don’t want to endanger your perfection. Therefore I cannot give you even clearer evidence that it is I Who speaks to you, which would only mean compulsory faith for you …. I can only ever give you the one advice to turn to your father yourselves if you acknowledge Him and to ask Him to always let you think and act right …. Thus you must completely hand yourselves over to your God and father and only allow Him to rule and also be willing not to oppose His divine guidance. I only require your will, which you should completely subordinate to Me …. If I possess this you will truly no longer be able to think and judge wrongly. The surrender of your will is also the simultaneous relinquishment of all resistance against Me …. But then you will also recognize the father’s voice when He speaks to you. I will truly not advice you to do anything which suggests satanic influence, and if only you honestly give an account of it you will only ever have to recognize and acknowledge the divine teaching of love as the content of My revelations. But if you take offence at teachings which were hitherto unknown to you, then bear in mind that humanity is close to its end …. consider that I therefore still use many means to save it from ruin. One such means is also the transmission of knowledge which is intended for those who only let their intellect speak …. who are no longer able to muster childlike faith because My pure teaching was interspersed with misguided teachings which aroused their will to reject …. who want to grasp and think everything through with their intellect and who therefore have to be offered food which can appear acceptable to them if only they are of good will …. Consider that I also take care of all people in order to still help them before the end. Bear in mind that My love applies to all people and that I try everything to win them over for Me, but that My adversary also rages mercilessly in the last days because he knows that he does not have much time left …. Thus, through his satanic activity alone he also causes an unusual influx of grace on My part …. And I truly know which gifts of grace can still save you humans; I truly know what every individual person needs. But you don’t know, and you are easily inclined to believe that you can determine Me in My working …. for you do so as soon as you deem ‘divine revelations’ to be concluded and thus, as it were, impose a ‘limitation’ on Me which, however, does not correspond to My perfect nature, which knows no limitation …. Anyone who believes in Me can consider himself blessed, for his path to Me is no longer far. But I also want to lead those who still dwell in the distance to faith, and therefore I let them look into it a little deeper than you others need to …. But you can be certain that I want to be a father to all My living creations and therefore want to clarify their relationship with Me as long as they have not yet found a connection with Me. Only little faith is to be found amongst people in the last days, but no-one suspects what consequences this lack of faith will have when the end has come …. But I know about the dreadful fate of those who experience the end immaturely, who have not gained a glimmer of knowledge …. And I have mercy on them …. Can you not understand that I take care of them, that I still try to save what is possible, that I resort to means which were not necessary until now? and I have also predicted this unusual relief action, I have pointed out that I will “pour out My spirit on all flesh ….” that “My spirit will guide you into truth ….” I have further told you that the mystery of creation will be opened before you, that My own “do not need a teacher, because I Myself teach them ….” (Jer. 31, 33-34) You will not be able to prove Me wrong if you read the scriptures with an enlightened spirit, but you will not be receptive to deeper knowledge as long as your spirit is not awakened. The ‘voice of the spirit’ is ‘My voice’, and the voice of the spirit reveals Me to Myself …. And if I now want to save those wretched creatures, I Myself must speak urgently to them. But they are unable to hear My voice and therefore I have to make use of a mediator, I have to speak through his mouth …. But what I have to say to each individual person, what can still be a blessing for each individual person, that must be left to Me alone, and you should not demand any reason or evidence for it either, instead you should be content with the fact that the adversity of the end time and My infinite love is the simplest reason for it …. But I will gladly answer your question confidentially addressed to Me Myself …. because I don’t want any of My children to be troubled by doubts or to think wrongly either …. because I love all of you who want to be Mine and therefore will not close My ear to any confidential request ….
Amen

The souls' fate in the beyond ….
B.D. 6920 from September 16th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
As yet you still wear the earthly garment; as yet your soul is still enclosed by a cover preventing its carefree flight into the spiritual realm, you are still bound to this earth …. But the time will come when the soul will leave its fleshy cover, when earth will no longer be able to hold it and it will lift itself up to heaven, if it has acquired sufficient strength to raise itself from the earthly sphere into a world without obstacles, where it will be able to zoom through time and space and enjoy blissful happiness in radiant heights. But this flight of ascent requires strength …. the kind of strength which should not be confused with the vitality of life but by which it is permeated when it has entered into heartfelt union again with the eternal source of strength, with its God and Father …. when it has returned to its Father’s house, where no hardship or suffering but only happiness and eternal life exist.
However, it is also possible that the hour of death will not denote a great change for the soul …. It will indeed also be able to leave the physical body and yet not be free, if it is weak and unable to elevate itself from earthly spheres because matter had dominated its mind, because it completely allowed itself to be ruled by it and never accepted the divine strength of love. Then it will indeed also occupy spiritual spheres, that is, it will exist beyond this earthly world, yet it will lack vitality and be condemned to inactivity. And this is a state of torment for the soul, a state of helplessness and darkness, and yet it is aware of itself.
Death is the conclusion of a developmental chapter; the soul will change its abode in any case …. but the sphere the soul will then occupy may well be rather different …. And the human being himself creates on earth his soul’s fate after death. And therefore he should value every day as an immeasurable gift of grace, he should be prudent with every hour and use it for the salvation of his soul …. he should not content himself with earthly joys and pleasures since the beatitudes in the spiritual kingdom will outweigh them a thousand fold.
The human being should always remember that he has to take it into his own hands to acquire an abundance of bliss, and so he then also has to be willing during the short lifetime on earth to renounce what gives the body a sense of well-being but is detrimental to the soul. For the soul is enclosed by a layer from which it should free itself in earthly life. The impurities still adhering to the soul obstruct God’s light ray of love from entering …. They first have to be dissolved so that the light of love can fully permeate the soul, and this also means that after death the soul will be able to raise itself entirely unburdened and enter the spheres of the blessed. And heartfelt prayer to God, deeds of love and even various forms of physical suffering will cause the dissolution of this layer ….
Love and suffering are the most effective means of purification, love and suffering internalize the human being, love and suffering distance him from the world and its pleasures …. The path of love and of suffering is the path Jesus took. He called upon people to become His followers, and He has promised life to those who follow Him. For His path will lead to the goal for sure. It leads out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, and He will also help anyone who loves Him and wants to follow Him carry the small cross, when it seems too heavy to the human being and he turns for help to Him, to the divine bearer of the cross …. But once the physical cover is shed the soul will rejoice and jubilantly enter through the gate to eternity. Then it will have fulfilled its purpose of earthly life, it will have returned to its true home of eternal life and eternal beatitude ….
Amen

God's address is something quite 'natural' ….
B.D. 6921 from September 17th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
The process of spiritual transmissions from the kingdom of light is basically something quite natural, for as soon as a person is intimately connected to God it is also possible for him to hear His voice, the word of eternity, which also expresses itself through His angels, through the inhabitants of the world of light. But people have distanced themselves far from God, they don’t know that they can connect so closely with God that they also feel His presence and that His presence proves itself through His word. And therefore something quite natural is regarded as unusual and as a result not valued; God’s revelations are rejected as unbelievable, and thereby people deprive themselves of the greatest grace, for to hear God’s address directly or also conveyed is a gift of grace of immeasurable value: God Himself shows people the path they should take in order to become blissfully happy, and He also gives them the necessary strength for this through His word …. However, addressing God must not be a compulsory act of faith. And therefore the process of spiritual transmissions takes place such that it also allows for other explanations if the human being is not willing to acknowledge this process. For he may not be forced to believe, and he will also not be forced to do so …. His will alone decides whether he recognizes a gift of grace as such and evaluates it accordingly. And a willing person also feels addressed by God. He is not only a listener but a doer of the word and soon finds proof of the truth of the divine word because his life of action itself brings the ‘working of the spirit’ into him. Every person can create this proof for himself if he would only put into action what his ear and heart have heard. For not only the direct transmission of the word has a beneficial effect in this way. The word of God can be received wherever it is proclaimed …. If only the listener willingly opens his heart and ear and sincerely desires God’s address and now also aligns his way of life accordingly, then the effect of the divine word will not fail to materialize. The bond with God will become ever more intimate and the human being himself can hold a heartfelt dialogue with Him and also be certain of His loving response. For God is a father …. and a father also speaks to His child …. But if the child closes its ear and turns away from its father, then it cannot hear anything either. And God is love …. Love seeks to save, to help and to make happy. And therefore God will warn, admonish and give strength and light to those who let themselves be addressed by Him. He will also speak to those who still stand apart from Him, but His address will not force them to listen to Him. Yet they shall be offered the graces, they shall have the opportunity to hear Him and, depending on their will, they will also experience the blessing of His address. But it would be far more unbelievable that a ‘God of love’, a ‘father of His children’, keeps silent, that He leaves people to their fate and does not offer them any help at all …. For people would be irredeemably lost if they were only dependent on what is offered to them by human beings. For there must be water of life, it must be drawn from the source which is God Himself, the original source of all strength and all light ….
Amen

The pure gospel of love ….
B.D. 6922 from September 18th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
And whether the gospel is proclaimed everywhere in the world, whether the commandments of love for God and neighbour are constantly recited to people …. the gospel can only be considered ‘spread in the world’ if it is heeded, if the way of life is now lived in accordance with this gospel of love and only then are the prerequisites for recognizing and acknowledging Jesus Christ and His act of salvation given. Dead knowledge is not enough because every effect for the soul depends solely on the fulfilment of the commandments of love, on a way of life in love. The gospel of love has to be proclaimed, and that is like sowing the seed …. But whether the soil is good enough to receive the seed and whether it will now sprout, grow and flourish and bear fruit, that is up to each person himself …. And this then is ‘acceptance or rejection of the gospel’ …. This is why servants of God are needed who, as disciples of Jesus Christ, carry the gospel out into all the world, who are to stimulate people’s will to accept it. And if they do good work as servants in the vineyard of the lord, it means that they are tirelessly active in making the fallow fields fertile …. that they try to stimulate people’s hearts in love and patience to take in the delicious seed that guarantees growth if it is only properly cared for and watered again and again with water of love so that it can sprout and flourish. Bad seed, however, cannot bear good fruit, and that is why the lord of the vineyard provides His servants with good seed and gives them the task of cultivating the fields of the vineyard. But the servant who does not have good seed at his disposal will not be able to achieve great success. So what use is it if a gospel is spread into the world that is no longer pure and unadulterated …. what use is it if a teaching is spread that no longer corresponds to the truth ….? Then one cannot speak of the proclamation of the gospel which the man Jesus taught on earth, which was a divine teaching because God Himself spoke through Jesus and thus purest seed was scattered which also promised a good harvest. And it is this pure, unadulterated gospel which has to be conveyed to people again, which God Himself wants to convey to them again through His disciples, whom He has chosen Himself for this ministry. Irrefutably, a seed that has been mixed with bad seed must also bring a corresponding harvest …. The field will bear only little useful fruit but many weeds, which must be separated and burnt at harvest time. But a good master will always see to it that the seed is clean before he sets his servants to work. A good master also employs good servants who he knows will protect the good seed from contamination, but he will not keep a servant who procures seed elsewhere and who need not be surprised if no success is to be seen …. if what the earth produces cannot be used and must therefore be discarded. For the weeds will overgrow everything, the weeds will also take away the vitality of the few good plants, and all the work of those servants will have been done in vain. And then one cannot speak of ‘spreading the gospel’, one cannot speak of proclaiming the ‘divine word’ which, as an outpouring of divine love, contains the ‘doctrine of love’ which has to be followed of its own free will, completely without coercion, in order to bring the soul the maturity for the purpose of which it dwells on earth. But God will always instruct His true disciples and convey the pure gospel to them. And He will also send them out into the world again to proclaim His word, to sow good seed in people’s hearts, to preach love and only ever exhort them to love. And where the divine teaching of love is proclaimed the spirit of God will also descend into human hearts which live according to this teaching of love. And He will teach them, He will guide their thinking correctly and they will know and recognize what they have to do in order to become blessed ….
Amen

Free will …. strokes of fate ….
B.D. 6923 from September 19th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Whichever path you take on earth, everything will fatefully approach you which shall help you to mature your souls. You can indeed shape your earthly life of your own free will and thus believe that you have determined your earthly path yourselves. But you will not be able to avert what affects you fatefully, and I Myself take over this control of destiny, always in accordance with your situation in life created by free will. For you can certainly create the external circumstances for yourselves, but they are not all too decisive in influencing your spiritual development. Yet through My will you will again and again be placed in situations where you can make the decision of will which determines your soul’s fate …. These are mostly experiences which you yourselves do not desire and would not create for yourselves if it were within your power …. in which you are not directly involved. Indirectly, however, you have caused such events yourselves because I deem them necessary due to your spiritual low, which, however, you have caused yourselves. And so it is these fateful interventions which make you doubt a person’s ‘free will’. If they are somehow prevented from carrying out their plans, they believe that they have been deprived of their free will through fateful interventions …. But ‘will’ is not to be confused with ‘possibility of execution’. Man can direct the will according to his discretion, even if it is impossible for him to put it into action. And the will should therefore be stimulated to express itself in a certain direction …. which is precisely what fateful life situations are supposed to help with. The course of earthly life is not as important as the influence such a life situation gains on the soul …. how the soul feels impressed by it and which path it takes …. For at the end of earthly life it is completely irrelevant what earthly successes the human being has achieved through apparently his own effort of will …. But if the soul can book a success for itself, then it is truly only a blessing if it has been achieved through severe strokes of fate. And thus the human being can shape his own life of his own free will, but he will not be able to prevent My will from intervening where it is necessary for the sake of his soul. Thus I apply My will without, however, curtailing the human being’s own will, for this is and remains free, and although his hands are sometimes tied so that he does not succeed in carrying out what he wants, he nevertheless cannot be forced to will otherwise, and this will alone is decisive. The will alone is evaluated. It is the will which earns the soul progress or relapse. And so that the will becomes active in the spiritual sense I Myself so often intervene in people’s fates …. well recognizing what blessing this can mean for the human being’s soul. Your will and thinking will not be forced, neither from My side nor from My adversary’s side, but it will be made easy for you by Me to direct your will and thinking correctly by touching you in such a way that a limit is set for your own strength but which you can cross if you take the path to Me …. This alone is My purpose through all kinds of strokes of fate, that you turn to Me of your own free will for My support, that you thereby acknowledge Me, that your earthly existence is not lived in vain, that you reach your aim ….
Amen

Soul work: transforming self-love into neighbourly love ….
B.D. 6924 from September 20th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Nothing can release you from doing soul work on yourselves if you want to acquire eternal life. The transformation of your being is a work of free will. It is the transformation from self-love to unselfish neighbourly love, for the latter alone is divine love, a love as it corresponds to the original being of God …. a love which works itself out as strength and which is the principle of divine order. But at the beginning of his embodiment the human being is filled with self-love as an inheritance from the one who is devoid of all love and to whom you owe your existence as a human being. For once you were divine beings filled with light and strength, you came forth from God’s love and thus were also filled with love as His creations. But it was a pure, selfless, divine love which only ever sought to please, which pushed back towards the eternal love and stood in intimate union with it. But this love changed through the influence of the one who turned away from God in self-conceit and who also transferred his will and his attitude to you. And the turning away from God resulted in His love also encountering resistance, that you rejected it and thus it could no longer take effect on you, because all resistance nullifies the effectiveness of love. But the fact that God does not abandon His creations which emerged from His strength of love …. that He constantly seeks to regain their love and that He therefore found a way to enable their return to Him again is based on His infinite love. However, the return to Him can only take place when the being accepts His strength of love again, which means that it gives up its resistance, that it changes, that it reshapes itself into what it was in the beginning …. that the wrong love, ego love, thus changes into divine love again …. But this transformation of the being also requires conscious work on oneself …. At the beginning of his embodiment, the human being is always only concerned to care for himself and his physical well-being, and to strive …. He will always think more of himself than of his neighbour, he will first look after his body than perform works of love for his fellow human being, because he is still dominated by self-love as a result of his former apostasy from God. But if he now carries out conscious soul work, then he will also make an effort to displace all selfish love from himself and replace it with unselfish neighbourly love …. And that means a transformation of his nature, for gentleness, humility, peaceableness, justice, mercy and patience will always have a beneficial effect on fellow human beings, but they also require a putting aside of the ‘I’ and physical desires, a fighting against weaknesses and faults …. thus ego love will slowly change into pure selfless love which always wants to make happy. You must irrevocably accomplish this work of the soul, and no-one can take this work from you, it is the purpose of your earthly life, it is the sure path of return to God and to eternal beatitude. And there is nothing that releases you from this conscious work on your soul, there are no other means which give you beatitude by circumventing this work on yourselves. You are all afflicted with faults and weaknesses because you have given up your former perfection by falling away from God, by rejecting His love …. But you can attain perfection again, you can become full of light and strength again, yet you first have to align yourselves with God’s original nature again, otherwise the divine flow of love cannot flow through you. And this is also possible for you in the human stage if only you have the serious will to do so and therefore consciously work on yourselves. The strength also comes to you as soon as you ask God for it. And what you initially feel to be difficult work will always become easier for you, because then you yourselves will feel an unknown happiness which only pure, divine, self-surrendering love can provide. But as long as the human being still puts his own well-being first, this inner feeling of happiness is also alien to him, even if his body creates well-being for itself …. But it is about the soul …. For this is your actual self, which should take the path back to God if it wants to expect an eternal life in bliss and be received by God as His child into the father’s house again ….
Amen

Ability to believe presupposes will to believe ….
B.D. 6925 from September 21st 1957, taken from Book No. 74
The ability to believe presupposes wanting to believe …. You will be unable to convince those people who can’t muster the will to attain the truth, for their unwillingness leaves them open to the influences of God’s opponent, to whom they increasingly more fall prey and who will only ever influence them to close themselves to every spiritual influx on the part of God. Spiritual knowledge cannot be proven; it has to be believed …. However, people are not expected to believe blindly, the truth is made accessible to the human being but it is left up to him what he makes of it, for God grants every human being freedom of will. The human being is therefore more or less facing a crucial decision as soon as he is offered spiritual information …. he can accept or reject it …. But in order to make this decision his will has to become active. If the human being rejects it without further investigation then he cannot say: I cannot believe it, instead he must say: I don’t want to believe it …. If, however, he is willing to understand it then he will examine it …. and only then will he be entitled to reject it if he cannot agree with it, or he will gain an inner conviction and thus ‘believe’ even though the evidence cannot be given to him. Someone who means well will certainly be correctly guided in his thinking …. even if he had not so far wanted to acknowledge anything that can be described as spiritual knowledge. Blind faith is worthless, only a convinced faith will give rise to blessings. But a convinced faith can only be gained if the human being wants to attain realisation, if he desires clarification about things that are hidden to him, about secrets which human intellect cannot unveil.
Every individual person and can will presume that he only possesses partial knowledge, that therefore many unsolved problems still exist for him. If these problems concern earthly questions, they can be solved intellectually. The results can be tested and also be changed …. Then the evidence can be produced that the human being’s thinking was right …. But apart from the earthly world there also exists a spiritual world …. Although this, too, must only be ‘believed’ again, yet revelations from this spiritual world are sent to people which could almost be classed as evidence already …. but always leaving it open to certain doubts, which need to be overcome by a person himself, and this requires his will. He is able to provide the evidence for himself and thus gain convinced faith but he must also want to do it …. Someone who does not contribute towards it cannot acquire anything for himself, and ‘faith’ cannot be granted to a person as a gift, otherwise a free decision of will could not be spoken of. First the human being must want to believe and through living a life of love enable himself to learn to distinguish, for he should never believe in errors, and he is entitled to reject what he is unable to believe if he seriously means it and does not reject all spiritual information given to him. The ability to believe presupposes wanting to believe. Blind faith, however, is nothing a person can be proud of …. Blind faith is not pleasing to God, after all, it testifies to indifference towards the truth and the right realisation. The human being should use his intelligence but not only his intelligence, he should also question his heart, which means as much as that he should also pay attention to his feelings, for the One Whom people have problems having faith in manifests Himself through the heart …. but Who also rewards the will if it is good and is aimed in the right direction ….
Amen

Justification of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6926 from September 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 74
The commandments of love for God and neighbour are the primary things in human existence. For if they are fulfilled, then the meaning and purpose of earthly life is fulfilled, and then the divine order, which was once overturned, is also restored. God’s plan of salvation now only aims at the establishment of divine order, and all His working and activity is only directed towards this, because the state of order is a divine one and because everything divine is also incomparably blissful. God as eternal love will only ever want to make happy, but according to His perfect nature a making happy of His creatures can never take place outside of justice …. Thus only something divine and perfect can be made happy by Him as it corresponds to His love, because the imperfect is guilty of its nature, because in free will it gave itself up to perfection, thus it also voluntarily spurned bliss. This was a guilt which put a barrier in God’s delightful love, admittedly not a barrier which God’s power could not break through but which would question His supremely perfect being if God, despite this rejection, wanted to bestow on the imperfect being what perfection presupposes. The debt must first be paid, the being must recognize its guilt and seek to restore the state in which it originally found itself. For justice cannot be eliminated. The creature’s happiness can therefore only take place in a state of divine order, and happiness means ‘being permeated by divine strength of love’, it means that divine strength of love flows into the being, which is now also able to create and shape itself for its own happiness …. But it is extremely difficult for the being which once rejected God’s strength of love to enter the state of divine order again, because in the lack of strength resulting from the rebellion against God it also lacks the strength to change itself again, and therefore it would have to eternally remain in the voluntarily striven for wretched state if it were dependent on the being itself to return into the state of divine order. Alone, without help, it is no longer able to do so, for the guilt was too great and the depth abysmal into which it fell through this guilt …. God’s love and mercy, in turn, was so great that He wanted to provide this help for the beings which had fallen away from Him …. But His love could not simply cancel a guilt because His justice did not allow for this. He had to demand an atonement and the debt had to be paid …. And because the debt was immense and the beings themselves would never have been able to pay it off in their weakness and darkness, a supreme being of light offered to pay the debt on behalf of God so that God would become righteous and His love could give itself away again …. The being of light wanted to make a sacrifice to God which, however, also corresponded to this great guilt. It wanted to make use of God’s strength of love in order to be able to carry out a work of mercy as a ‘human being’ which was intended to bring redemption to all fallen beings …. It wanted to divest Itself of Its strength and light, take on a human form and now, as a self-weak being, walk an excruciatingly difficult earthly path with the aim of sacrificing Itself, of giving Its life for Its fallen brothers …. And it only wanted to make use of God’s strength of love for this purpose, it wanted to bring love within itself to its highest development and thus exemplify a life of love to people which earned it God’s strength of love, which resulted in ‘eternal love’ completely filling it, that it took possession of the body of the man Jesus and thus it was now also possible for it to suffer the most dreadful death on the cross and to atone for guilt through its suffering and death …. And God accepted the sacrifice, His love was willing to make even the compensation by Himself which God’s justice demanded …. The guilt was therefore redeemed by Jesus, in Whom God embodied Himself, because love …. which is God …. completely filled the human being Jesus and thus the ‘human being’ deified himself, i.e. united with God, thus became one with Him. Every once fallen being must strive for this deification and make it its aim, and since deification can only be achieved through the irradiation of divine strength of love, the fallen being must therefore live a life of love in the human stage, through which it enters into intimate union with God and thus the divine order is also restored …. (9/23/1957) And because people are without realization until the divine light of love illuminates them, they have been given the commandments of love for God and neighbour, the fulfilment of which earns them that light of love …. And they should also know why this commandment is the most important commandment, they should know that only love can lead to union with God and that union with God also means divinization, the establishment of the original state where everything moves in the law of eternal order and can now also use the strength flowing to it from God in love and wisdom …. in the will of God, which is now also the will of the being. Love is therefore the fundamental law …. But the human being is still weak and darkened in spirit as long as he stands outside of divine order, as long as he still lives under the burden of original sin. And so long he will hardly perform works of neighbourly love. But the knowledge that Jesus Christ’s act of salvation has also been accomplished for him can cause him to call upon Him, he can mentally occupy himself with Him even if he is not fully convinced of His spiritual mission …. And every thought of Him in good will is already a bond which has a beneficial effect. For the divine redeemer Himself already thereby gains influence on the human being’s soul. And everything else merely depends on whether the human being allows himself to be determined by this influence or not. But the influence consists of stimulating the human being into loving activity, for Jesus Christ will do the same as He did on earth as the human being Jesus: He will only ever point to love, because this is the principle of divine order, thus love has to be practiced without fail in order to first reach a degree of enlightenment which then determines the human being to seriously seek unity with God …. And thus even people who know nothing about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation can attain this degree of enlightenment if only they live in love. For a spark of love is placed in every person’s heart …. Thus a person only needs to be willing to love because the ability to love exists as a divine gift of grace. The human being can remedy the weakness which burdens him through original sin through loving activity, because Jesus Christ died for all people, because He accomplished the act of salvation for all people. These people have entered the divine order through their willingness to love, and if the knowledge of Jesus Christ is conveyed to them they will also grasp it and enter into conscious contact with Him, to Whom they had already unconsciously united through love …. But the realization will come to them in a flash when they leave earthly life, and therefore they can be considered redeemed because the soul pushes towards Jesus Christ by virtue of its love …. Every person is able to practice love …. because God does not completely abandon a person to His adversary and because the human being’s will is also influenced from a good spiritual side …. But the weakness of will is often so great that he needs help, which will certainly be given to him through the call of Jesus Christ. But where the knowledge of Jesus Christ has not yet been conveyed to the human being, the forces of light are constantly endeavouring to stimulate people into a life of love, and the knowledge can also reach them through inner enlightenment, no matter in which form it is offered to them. But they will learn to believe in a God who is inclined towards them in love and mercy …. And if they consciously surrender to Him they will also be released from their past guilt, they will be freed from the power which kept them bound, because eternal love Itself loosens the chains of the being which practices love and thereby joins It again in free will ….
Amen

Admonition to make use of the end time for the salvation of souls ….
B.D. 6927 from September 24th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Only few people seriously strive for perfection, most are satisfied with externalities and are not aware of their purpose of existence. They value earthly life as the highest and only ever strive to make it as pleasant as possible for themselves without considering what advantage the soul derives from it and what they owe their souls. The soul wants to be nourished just as much as the body, the soul needs nourishment even more urgently, for it is what remains when the body passes away, when the human being’s life is over. And the state it is in at the end of its earthly life is decisive for eternity. It can be glorious but also very bleak …. the soul can dwell in supreme bliss in the spiritual kingdom but also ruefully remember the unused time of earthly life when torment and darkness is its lot. And people do not remember this …. They live out their days and let their soul starve, they first look after themselves, i.e. their body, before they think of supplying the soul with good nourishment which enables it to mature, which helps it to reach perfection. Sudden death in their surroundings often draws people’s attention to the fact that their own life can also end very quickly …. people are often taken away from the circle of their loved ones through death, and then they certainly also temporarily think of their own death, but only a few make a serious change in themselves, only a few live their earthly life consciously and still prepare themselves for the life which comes afterwards. For only a few are strong in faith …. Only a few enter into living contact with God and thereby attain inner realization of the purpose and aim of earthly life. And therefore only a few will reach the degree at their demise which secures their entrance into bright heights, but most will still have to struggle and fight for a long time in the kingdom of the beyond in order to just reach a small glimmer of light which makes their fate more bearable. For their strength will not be great and yet an ascent is still possible for them if they are not completely hardened in spirit, if they accept the guidance and instructions in the kingdom of the beyond which will still be offered to them through God’s merciful love but which also presuppose their own will to still achieve spiritual progress. And therefore only a warning and admonition can be called out to people: Make use of the time on earth for your soul …. Don’t let it pass by unused but remember that the actual life still lies ahead of you, that earthly life is not the first but that it is decisive for eternity. For you can achieve much on this earth if only you seriously strive for perfection …. But you can also fail, and you will bitterly regret not having heeded the admonitions and warnings on earth ….
Amen

God's everlasting care of love …. strokes of fate ….
B.D. 6928 from September 25th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
All who long for God’s love will also be allowed to experience it, for this is already the fulfilment of earthly life, that God’s love seizes the soul which does not resist Him. Therefore no human being need fear that his earthly life could be in vain if he himself wants it to bring him success. For anyone who allows such thoughts to arise in him is also aware of the fact that he has a task on earth which applies to the salvation of his soul. And if he wants to fulfil this task he will also be helped in every way, because God’s love never ceases and has also not diminished in the state of greatest distance from Him, because He pursued the being with His love and now His love can also become effective. The fact that the human being nevertheless repeatedly falls into weakness of will, that he also temporarily forgets his actual purpose on earth when the world captivates him, will not diminish God’s love, and again and again the human being will experience that God will not abandon him …. For he will get into situations which let him seek God ever more intimately. And every renewed bond is proof that the human being longs for God, and God will never deny Himself to him. This is why a person’s life can never be monotonous, always in the same peace and security, for this would not advance a person but make him indifferent to striving higher. But a striving person will not be granted such severe strokes of fate as those who first have to be brought to take up the thought of God and turn to Him in free will. And since in the last days people will be completely attached to the world, but God will turn His care towards them until the end, the strokes of fate will also increase, which are only ever intended to kindle that very desire for God’s love. But such strokes of fate are not always successful. People can be affected as sensitively as they like, they try to cope with it themselves, they do not bow to the power of a mighty God and creator even if He obviously makes Himself known to them …. because even then the human being’s free will is respected and therefore the ‘working of God’ cannot be proven in such strokes of fate and people therefore prefer to accept everything else than the direct intervention or will of a God and creator. But the slightest devotion to Him in thought will also be rewarded and encouraged by God, for this can be the first step towards the aim. And thus many things will still happen which are able to put people into turmoil, much suffering will still befall the earth, a ‘higher power’ will still often intervene and many people will still be extremely painfully affected by events of all kinds …. The belief in a God will dwindle more and more and sometimes even be completely lost due to such events, but people will also be urged to turn to a God and creator for help …. For God only expects this call in order to then so obviously take care of people that He proves Himself to them and an intimate bond between the human being and God can be the result. But once it has been established God will never give him up again, only his will has to be sincere …. Then his weakness will also be taken into account and the human being can know that he is safe in God’s love, Which will then reveal Itself to him again and again until the end of his life ….
Amen

Book of books …. mind exploration ….
B.D. 6929 from September 27th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
What your intellect will never fathom can be explained to you by the spirit within you if you allow this yourselves in free will. You believe yourselves more or less capable of research, or you also trust other researching people that they can convey truthful results to you …. But you forget that there is one area where human intellect alone is unable to penetrate, even if it is highly developed and easily able to solve earthly problems …. This one area is closed to him as long as he does not sincerely appeal to Me to open the gate for him so that he can gain insight. It is impossible for him to explore this area without Me, and I alone decide to whom I will convey the knowledge, to whom I will introduce the truth, to whom I will reveal the secrets, to whom I will solve the problems which thus touch the spiritual area. For I alone know who will use such knowledge correctly and to whom it will be a blessing. Admittedly, all people could consider themselves blessed to receive light about that which is still hidden from them. But the light also presupposes a clear, purified vessel that prevents turbidity …. Knowledge presupposes a degree of maturity, otherwise it would be completely worthless for the human being and could not bring him any realization. And if this degree has not yet been reached, then even the sharpest intellect will not find its way in that area …. It will remain dark in him as long as his spirit cannot give him brightness. And thus it is also of no use if wisdom …. i.e. knowledge of the pure truth …. is sought from people who think themselves capable of giving enlightenment but can only ever speak of pure intellectual results. It is also of no use if a person tries to acquire knowledge from books, even if it is the book of books, the scriptures, which certainly contain truthful knowledge but which remain a closed book to the immature reader, even if every letter is known to him. Admittedly, every person will be able to benefit from it if he only believes the words which he can well understand, if he takes the indications for a righteous way of life seriously and lives according to them. For then his soul’s initially still very immature state will lift up and a small glimmer of light will already shine in him, but first it requires a way of life in accordance with My will, which can certainly be recognized from the scriptures …. But anyone who believes that the scriptures will bring him the highest knowledge, who believes that this knowledge can be gained through study, through precise knowledge of the letters, is very much mistaken. For this attempt has already been made so often and has only ever brought greater confusion, because every researcher has come to different results …. except for those who devote themselves to Me in childlike humility and love, whose spirit I now illuminated and was now also able to grant them insights, whom I Myself was able to introduce to the truth, as I promised …. And thus neither science nor dead faith will explore the area whose illumination I Myself have reserved for Myself: Only those who prepare themselves as a vessel into which I can pour My spirit, whose serious striving on earth is to first shape themselves into love, who endeavour to fulfil My will, who are founded in the law of eternal order, will ever attain the light, who only ever demand a way of life in love from you humans, so that you will assimilate your nature to My fundamental nature and then the overflowing of My spirit upon you will be the inevitable result of it …. Walk in love and you will now be introduced by My spirit into the realm which, however, remains closed to every human being without love …. For only through love will you becomezMy children, and I will truly withhold nothing from My children, I Myself will introduce My children to the truth, as I have promised ….
Amen

The soul's process of development before embodiment ….
B.D. 6930 from September 29th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
You humans have passed through many forms …. i.e., your real Self, your soul, had to go through a long process of development before it was allowed to incarnate in a human body …. And this process of development was the path through all the works of creation …. Dissolved into countless minute particles the soul had to animate each one of these works of creation and thus slowly mature, as soon as various particles had joined each other they had to constantly enter new forms, and all forms …. the innumerable works of creation …. contributed towards the maturing of these substances of soul until, finally, all particles were allowed to come together again and as a human soul enter and give life to the last form, the human body. Hence you all had to travel this path of development since due to your past fall into sin the separation from God became so great that the soul in its lifeless state, which was the result of its apostasy, would never have been able to overcome this vast distance from Him. It first had to be brought back to life. But life could not be granted to the beings which had become sinful …. they had to acquire it through being of service. However, the being would never serve voluntarily because it would have been prevented from doing so by God’s adversary, whom it had followed into the abyss ….
But it wasn’t meant to remain eternally subject to death, it was meant to be given the opportunity to attain life …. and this ‘opportunity’ was the creation. God seized the fallen spirits from His adversary and made them serve Himself, He gave every work of creation its purpose according to natural law and made it fulfil this purpose in a state of compulsion.
As a result it had to be of service and, if only after an infinitely long time, thereby acquired a weak life which nevertheless enabled it to become constantly more active. For every being having once emerged from God’s love was His emanated strength which wants to be active …. However, the beings which had joined God’s adversary rejected God’s illumination of love which is needed for living, thus for a being’s activity, and therefore it fell into the state of death. And were it left to the being itself it would never be able to come alive again because its fall into the abyss made it completely helpless. For this reason God called a work into existence which at first ruled out the being’s will for activity, which subordinated itself entirely to His will and which, through ‘natural law’, carried out the purpose He had assigned to this work, to the whole of creation.
His plan consisted of slowly bringing back to life what was lifeless, of giving it the possibility to be active again. And thus it was joined to the individual works of creation in tiny particles and through natural law obliged to get active again …. It was bound in these creations and unable to resist, it had to be of service …. but thereby was also able to reach the degree of development which gained it ever more freedom and finally also placed the spiritual being into the state of free will, from where it then has to decide whether it wants to continue its ascent or return into the abyss once more …. For God certainly helps the being to ascend but He does not compel it if it wants to descend. This decision of free will therefore takes place during the final stage of development on this earth …. when the soul is embodied as a human beings and can use its free will again at its own discretion …. Then the human being must recognise the great mercy of the former process of development and make conscious use of his earthly life, he must prove himself worthy and have the will that his final stage shall take him to the goal, he must strive whole-heartedly for his perfection and thus prove that he belongs to God; he must do whatever it takes so as not to fall again into the hands of the one from whom God’s love had helped him become free throughout infinitely long times …. He must not live carelessly during this short time but again and again only remember the spiritual goal which will release him from all constraints, which signifies the reunion with God in light and strength and happiness …. And thus you humans were given earthly life for the sake of liberating your soul from a bondage which was placed upon you by God’s adversary since time immemorial but which was its own fault and thus it will also have to remove its own share in order to gain its freedom and everlasting life ….

Earthly knowledge is not 'wisdom' ….
B.D. 6931 from September 30th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Even if you deem yourselves wise, you are nothing of the kind as long as I cannot let My light shine into you to enlighten your spirit. For that which you consider knowledge will not make you happy for long, even if it comes close to the truth, for it is merely earthly knowledge …. knowledge, which relates to everything you deem worthy of knowing for your earthly life. Were you to forego your physical life tomorrow this knowledge would also be lost to you if you could not show any spiritual progress. But those of you who don’t strive spiritually do not possess wisdom. Wisdom is the realisation of everlasting knowledge, which comes forth from Me alone and flows to the one who sincerely desires it. However, you humans only ever judge intellectual results and deny the value of all spiritually gained conclusions. You thereby only prove that you are still unenlightened, that you exist in a pitiful state because the time you lived on earth has so far been completely useless. You are chasing after the wrong possessions if you content yourselves with the information you have gained so far, which exclusively answers earthly questions and solves problems which, from a spiritual point of view, are worthless. You miss the purpose of your earthly life which solely consists of changing your soul’s spiritual darkness, of dissolving its layers which prevent the penetration of light. You don’t even know the purpose of your earthly life, you don’t know about the actual task you are given, but you believe yourselves to be wise if you possess purely earthly-orientated knowledge …. if you have a keen intellect at your disposal and solely use this divine gift to research and ponder with a purely earthly goal in mind ….
You can attain an eminent reputation on earth, you can indeed achieve great things compared to your fellow human beings, but you cannot call yourselves wise, since by virtue of your intellect you will be unable to fathom anything which lies beyond the sphere of human habitation …. And at the end of your life you will have to admit that you know nothing, if you approach your end consciously, if you come close to passing through the gate to eternity and you think about the accomplishments of your earthly progress …. Then your own self-assurance will leave you; then you might perhaps even become aware of the futility of your efforts, and you would be grateful if you could still receive a small glimmer of light about the human being’s real purpose of life. If you …. who deem yourselves wise …. are offered a light during earthly life you spurn it due to self-importance, for while you are influenced by deceptive light you cannot feel the gentle radiance which, however, would enter your heart, whilst the deceptive light …. your intellectual knowledge …. cannot spread inner clarity. You should never reject a light if it illuminates you unusually, your should not try to explain such light intellectually, you should close your eyes, which are already weakened by the deceptive light, and let the true light shine into your heart, that means, you should put all your earthly knowledge aside for once and simply listen quietly when you hear Words of wisdom …. You should make time to let your thoughts roam into a region which is unknown to you, and long to learn more about it …. And every such thought will become a blessing for you …. For then you will receive knowledge which you will recognise as ‘wisdom from God’ and which will truly gain you greater success than the worldly knowledge you strive for …. which will vanish, just as your body will vanish, and which has not provided the soul with the slightest progress …. which left it in the same darkness it was in when it came to earth as a human being ….

The bridge to Me is Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 6932 from October 1st 1957, taken from Book No. 74
I shed My blood for all of you who live in sin and wickedness, who still wear the earthly garment which is evidence of a state which is not My will and not My work but which was based on your own will and its execution. As human beings you are imperfect creatures, for you are dependent on a higher power, you are not free, powerful beings which can work without restriction, for you had forfeited your own freedom and strength, you had also given away the light of realization, you made yourselves wretched creatures in deluded thinking. And this is why you now walk the earth and have the opportunity to regain your once blissful and perfect state again, because My greater than great love and mercy reaches out to you, because I built a bridge for you which enables your return to Me …. because I accomplished the act of salvation for all of you which redeemed the great guilt which was the cause of your wretched state. But you humans are not aware of the fact that you only live on earth for the purpose of changing your nature, that you are imperfect, thus wretched, and that you should become perfect again in order to attain unlimited beatitude …. This imperfect earthly existence is enough for you, you don’t want to lose it, and therefore you don’t do anything yourselves to enter the bridge I have built in order to be able to reach Me. You have no desire within yourselves for your true home because you are devoid of all realization of what you were in the beginning …. And you would be able to gain this realization if only you decided to live a life of love on earth …. Then you would also see the bridge and want to enter it. You would recognize and learn to understand Me and My act of salvation, you would feel drawn to Me because you would suddenly have the certainty that I alone can fetch you back into your father’s house. I shed My blood for all of you so that it should wash you clean from your guilt …. You humans do not understand these words as long as you lack a life of love …. Then both My human manifestation and My act of salvation are incomprehensible and doubtful to you. Then you cannot believe in Me, because only love awakens faith to life …. But you can perform works of love if only your will is good. But your will is free …. However, the will can be stimulated to do good, to act well, to live a life of love. And this happens through the supply of My word. And thus you will understand that it is extremely necessary to address people again and again and to proclaim the teaching of love to them, which I preached on earth as the man Jesus …. Only by addressing people can they be advised to make an effort to live a life of love, and only then can they gain faith and consciously come to Me in Jesus Christ, Who accepts everyone because I died for everyone on the cross. But I cannot force people under My cross …. and only those will ever come voluntarily who are of good will and not completely devoid of love …. Although My blood has flowed for all people, not all people will come into the blessing of the act of salvation, for the human being’s will itself must be willing to allow itself to be redeemed, and this means that it has to acknowledge Me, that it has to take the path of its own free will to the cross, so that he entrusts himself to Me in his weakness and inadequacy and appeals to Me for help, so that he recognizes and confesses himself as guilty and demands to return to his God and father again, from Whom he once turned away of his own free will. He has to enter the bridge, i.e. he has to find the bond from this earth into the spiritual kingdom; he has to recognize that earth is not his home, he has to look for this home outside of earth, he has to recognize himself as a flawed creature and ask his creator to take care of him, he has to demand the child to the father …. Then it will also have safely entered the bridge which I Myself built through My crucifixion, and then the divine redeemer Jesus Christ will also be fully recognized in His mission, because He Himself is the bridge which leads to Me, because the human being will then safely take the path to the cross and I can now also open the gate to beatitude for him ….

Unfair means of the opponent ….
B.D. 6933 from October 2nd 1957, taken from Book No. 74
He who has My word shall have no doubts about My love, wisdom and might …. For My word shall be proof to him that I always work in love, wisdom and omnipotence …. it shall be proof to him of My constant presence, of My constant concern for the human being’s body and soul, of My constant care for him. He should not doubt My love which arranges everything in such a way that it is good for the human being’s soul …. he shall not doubt My wisdom which truly recognizes what can have a beneficial effect, and he shall not doubt My might which can remedy everything, to which no limit is set and which therefore also becomes active in accordance with My love and wisdom. Anyone who has My word should only firmly rely on Me …. he shall believe …. And I will truly not let his faith fail …. In the awareness of My nearness he will also be able to muster this faith. And therefore he should only intimately unite with Me so that he feels Me. He must feel My presence, then all doubts will fall away from him, then his faith will be alive, then he will feel seized and cared for by My love, and then I will have achieved what I wanted to achieve: a bond which endures, which no longer allows distance from Me and which is necessary for a special task. For I set ever greater tasks for those who want to serve Me, but their fulfilment requires a special strength of faith. And I want to educate My servants to such a strength of faith. Moreover, in the last days I will fight a battle with My adversary who wants to snatch the souls from Me by unfair means which already belong to Me …. And you bring this battle to an end yourselves, for My adversary, in his delusion, seeks to undermine Me and My working, he believes he can catch My emanation of strength in order to strengthen his power and thus to be able to direct and exploit the strength of love radiated by Me according to his wrong will. He wants to misuse you who receive My strength of love directly …. Understand, he wants to use you as carriers of divine strength of love which he can no longer receive himself. But for this you have to turn away from Me …. And this is what he wants to achieve in faith, then to appropriate ‘filled vessels’ for himself and to enrich himself with their contents …. with love-power from Me …. His thinking is wrong, but the means he uses will put you in danger if you don’t firmly hold on to Me and long for My presence so intimately that it will be your protection and help. Hence you yourselves are the deciding factor in the battle against My adversary, which he wages with dishonest means and which requires great strength of faith on your part. And he will use ever new tricks the closer the end is, and therefore your faith must also become ever stronger. And every passed test of faith will strengthen it until your faith in My love, wisdom and omnipotence has become so unshakeable that My adversary will shake it in vain, that he can attack with all his might and yet achieve nothing …. And I will make ever greater demands on you which you will also be able to meet by virtue of faith, for the end time will still bring many temptations by the adversary which you will only be able to cope with in heartfelt contact with Me. But as long as doubts still creep into your hearts regarding My direct address you are also in danger of not being able to withstand his onslaughts. But anyone who has My word should drop all doubts, after all, he is a co-worker to Me whose willingness to serve secures him My protection and My help in spiritual and earthly adversity. He should only ever secure My presence through heartfelt prayer and activity of love, then My adversary will no longer be able to harass him, for My love, wisdom and might will prove themselves because the human being himself now allows this ….
Amen

The battle of Lucifer against God ….
B.D. 6934 from October 3rd 1957, taken from Book No. 74
God’s adversary has been fighting against God for an eternity, he has been trying for an eternity to seize supremacy because his fall has caused him to lose the realization that this is an impossible undertaking and because he is completely blind and does not recognize himself and his essence or his creator, Who, standing in supreme perfection, does not destroy him despite his adversary’s activity but constantly endeavours to lead his followers and finally also himself back to the light, that is, to realization. But this struggle, which has lasted for eternity, achieves something: highly developed spiritual beings emerge from it, who …. having once fallen away from God themselves …. nevertheless return to God again, but now not only as ‘creatures’ but as ‘children’ of God, exhibiting a degree of bliss which they had not yet possessed before their apostasy …. because the perfection of a being created by God was not its own merit, but the present perfection was striven for in free will by the being which once fell. The fall of Lucifer, the first created being, was not willed by God but likewise a matter of free will of his …. But on this fall God built His plan, which was to bring back to Him right children. But God’s adversary is unaware of this plan; he certainly knows that he has lost followers through Jesus’ crucifixion and is still losing them, but in his blindness he does not recognize God’s infinite love, instead, for him He is only the counter-spirit whom he wants to dethrone in order to usurp supremacy over everything created. His delusion degenerates into abysmal hatred, which becomes stronger and stronger the more he sees his power dwindle. He is no longer able to recognize God’s love, and even if he seems to display a certain shrewdness in cunning and intrigue …. he is completely blinded, he is able to dominate everything created. He can no longer grasp any connections, he rages, as it were, blindly against everything that does not submit to his will. This is why he need not be feared by people who were already allowed to receive a small light, who trustingly devote themselves to God’s love, who strive towards Him and seriously strive for perfection. For these are already far above God’s adversary in their knowledge and they will always be able to see through his activity. But he does not give up the battle precisely because he does not recognize its hopelessness and because he already sees victory in gaining time, in believing that he can prevent the return of his followers which, however, is only postponed by his activity but will certainly happen one day. All beings fallen with him are without knowledge as a result of their fall …. all walk along in darkness …. And if a small light flashes in this darkness then God’s adversary sees this light as a danger to himself and seeks to extinguish it. But every person who seriously strives towards God also begins to shine …. he is illuminated by God’s love and the light ignites in his heart …. He slowly comes to recognize and now separates himself from the darkness, which triggers bright indignation in God’s adversary and constant attempts by him to extinguish the light …. But the light is stronger than the darkness …. And that is what God’s adversary does not want to grasp, otherwise his return would also be quicker. But the work of return is constantly continued by God, and His adversary even unintentionally offers Him a hand by creating the resistance as God’s antipole on which the fallen should test itself, which is drawn into the battle and even brings it to a decision itself …. For the struggle is waged for that which has fallen, which …. according to the adversary’s deluded thinking, strengthens his power but which, from God’s point of view, is nevertheless free and should remain so and, in its freedom, should travel the path to Him in order to attain precisely that increased degree of maturity which ensures unlimited beatitude. Lucifer’s battle against God has lasted for eternities, and it will still be waged for eternities, but it will nevertheless end victoriously one day when everything that has fallen has returned to God again ….
Amen

Those who love God ….
B.D. 6935 from October 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Those who love God will derive a benefit from everything. For God takes particularly good care of them, and if suffering and worries or harsh strokes of fate are granted to them, He will only ever use these means in order to help the soul become perfect. You humans will frequently experience that precisely those fellow human beings who make every effort to live a God-pleasing life are being afflicted by strokes of fate, and you cannot comprehend why they must suffer and struggle so much on earth …. But neither do you know about their glorious fate after their death. ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which I have prepared for those who love Me ….’ And God wants to prepare the soul which grants Him its love on earth for this bliss. For the soul must have reached a specific degree of maturity before it can enter the eternal splendour, that is, it must be clean and pure, it must have discarded all impurities which prevent it from entering this magnificent kingdom. Only rarely is a soul so perfected that it would need no suffering, no means of purification of any kind. Its heartfelt devotion of God and its love for Him will often be rewarded by Him in a way which you humans on earth, admittedly, cannot understand, whereby through suffering and adversity He helps where the human being himself is still too weak. Yet all those afflicted by suffering shall take comfort in the fact that everything will benefit their soul as long as they only ‘love God’ …. And they prove their love for God through humble devotion to Him, through their will to live correctly and righteously, and by fulfilling the commandment of love for their neighbour, which also incorporates the fulfilment of love for God. Anyone who loves the next person as himself has the right relationship with God, for his indwelling strength of love is God’s emanation, which was only able to affect him because he loves God. No suffering should therefore dishearten that person who has already voluntarily handed himself over to God. He should only ever regard it as the evidence of God’s love, Who wants to help him to still mature fully during the short time on earth, in order to then be able to provide him with an inconceivable measure of bliss. Do not allow the difficulties of a stroke of fate to depress you or make you waver in your faith …. For this, too, will have been determined by God’s love and wisdom, Who certainly knows what the individual still requires, Who does nothing or lets nothing happen arbitrarily but always pursues a plan which, one day, will also be clearly presented to you when you have successfully completed your life on earth. You must not compare God’s reign and activity to that of a human being’s conduct, for even if a person is good, he nevertheless lacks the final wisdom which is always the decisive factor for everything that God inflicts upon a person, the wisdom which is only based on God’s love. And thus God also realises the outcome a person’s every experience can result in, and He aims to achieve this outcome …. And it will certainly raise the state of maturity of a soul which loves God …. Earthly life is only short and you humans do not have much time left in order to enable you to leave the Earth so matured that you can be granted glories beyond measure …. And in view of this, God Himself will help you by still providing you with opportunities to prove yourselves during this short time, which you can certainly do successfully if you humbly accept everything …. always believing God only allows for that to come upon you which is helpful for you. You should not quarrel and grumble, you should not doubt His love. Your love for Him must remain the same while you submit to everything you receive from the Father’s hand. For regardless of whether it is His will or merely His permission …. it will always benefit the salvation of your souls as long as you remain inclined towards Him with love. Otherwise His Words ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which I have prepared for those who love Me ….’ would not be warranted. Your love ensures that His promise will be granted, and if you have this certain and firm faith, you will also endure everything with ease, everything will become less severe and significant, even if, in the beginning, it seems very difficult for you to bear ….
Amen

Statements by seers and prophets ….
B.D. 6936 from October 5th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
Listen to what the spirit of God proclaims to you: the seers and prophets are chosen by Me Myself because they have to fulfil a great and important task …. informing people of the forthcoming Judgment of the world and admonishing them to prepare themselves for it. These seers and prophets don’t use their own words but merely pass on what My spirit tells them. Thus, in a manner of speaking, you receive a direct proclamation from Me Myself, I merely have to use a mediator in order not to compel your thoughts and actions. You therefore can believe it but are not forced to do so. You will believe it if you acknowledge the gift of vision and prophesy in these mediators; you will reject it if you doubt their mission. But I want to make it easy for you to believe them, I will visibly emphasise their mission by allowing the announced events to happen which precede the Judgment …. I will make sure that these announcements will be spread, that many people can be informed of them and that they then will experience the evidence of it, because everything will happen as I predicted through seers and prophets. Although I warned people …. when I lived on earth …. to beware of false Christs and false prophets and pointed out that My adversary’s emissaries will also wreak havoc, I now caution people once again not to get caught in his nets of lies and to believe his intrigues, for he is active and through remarkable accomplishments, through physical works of wonder, is trying to awaken in people the belief that the ‘powers of heaven’ are expressing themselves ….
But precisely his remarkable activity during the last days also gives rise to My countermeasure which consists of using methods that revive a weak faith again or let a lost faith arise anew. And this cannot happen in any other way than through pure truth, which comes forth from the source of truth but must reach you humans through mediators because you are unable to receive it directly yourselves.
And thus I present to people what lies ahead of them. And the people I have chosen to mediate between Myself and you humans can be acknowledged by you as genuine prophets whose words you should believe. I Am also prepared to demonstrate that they speak on My instruction and inform you of what is to come by very soon making the first announcements come true. For the most important task of these seers and prophets is the announcement of the end, which is of utmost importance for you humans and which you thus should await being prepared. And for this you are still granted a period of time which can suffice to save your souls from ruin.
And so I will not hesitate much longer, I will confirm My seers’ and prophets’ mission, I will let their proclamations be followed by action …. Prior to this …. before the end …. I will shake the earth and show Myself to all people through a natural event which time and again has been announced according to My will. For I gave them the instruction Myself, they only spoke as My instruments, as My representatives on earth who should admonish and warn people on My behalf. You must not deem yourselves safe from events which testify to a higher Power, you should dread them and believe that My Word is truth, that I Myself speak and have spoken to you through them and that you are therefore definitely approaching an extremely difficult time, if My grace will not call you back beforehand. You are facing the end of an era, and in this certainty you should live your life accordingly …. always in view of a sudden end which, however, need not be feared by anyone who consciously improves himself, who pays more attention to his soul than to his earthly body, for he will not lose anything but only gain ….
Amen

Effectiveness of the divine ray of love ….
B.D. 6937 from October 6th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
My ray of love hits you with undiminished strength, but your resistance limits its effectiveness and therefore it can neither enlighten nor warm you. That is why you are ignorant and powerless as long as you still defend yourselves against Me. And you cannot deny this deficiency, for you lack the clear realization of your origin and your aim. You perhaps assume but lack the conviction that your assumptions are correct. And you also lack strength, for although you have vitality at your disposal it is nevertheless subject to certain limits, your body is subject to laws which you cannot overturn at will if you don’t want to endanger your existence. Thus you have to admit ignorance and weakness if you seriously think about it …. And thus you also have proof that My strength of love cannot take effect on you as yet, because such means that all deficiencies have been remedied as well as My strength of love can shine upon you without encountering resistance. But you lack the evidence for this, or even …. you don’t make an effort to procure the evidence of the effect of My illumination of love …. because you all could. You need only no longer defend yourselves against Me, you need only consciously turn towards Me and want to be illuminated by Me and My love …. And you will be amazed at the transformation that will take place in yourselves by virtue of My love. You will see the darkness disappear, hitherto unsolved questions will be answered for you, you will be able to grasp the correlations, and you will also have strength at your disposal if you make use of it yourselves in full belief that you, as living creations of a powerful God, can also draw strength from Him if you are willing to accept it from Him. All of you could provide yourselves with this evidence but only if you consciously turn to Me and open yourselves to My illumination of love …. if you want to make contact with Me …. Only then will your earthly existence become understandable to you, only then will the darkness give way and you will realize with the greatest of light why you walk on earth. Although physical weakness can still cling to the human being then, for it is more spiritual strength which he now receives and which he uses again for spiritual activity, which may indeed also include appearances which become visible on his fellow human being’s body …. But he did not accomplish them with his life force but with the strength of love which flowed to him from Me and for which nothing is impossible. A person who is still unaware of all this has not yet opened himself to Me and My illumination of love, he is still inwardly repelled by Me, even if he is not a ‘conscious opponent’. Yet his indifference and his aimless earthly life …. for earthly aims are not to be recorded as plus …. prove his ‘God-remote’ attitude, they prove his distance from Me, even if he professes faith in a God with his mouth. The ‘opening of his heart to My ray of love’ must be a completely free decision on the part of the human being, he must consciously turn to Me in an hour of inner contemplation and then request from Me what he lacks: light and strength, i.e. knowledge and the strength to now be able to utilize this knowledge according to My will …. He must consciously give up resistance, that is, consciously unite with Me …. He must establish contact with Me so that the flow of love can be transferred to him …. The human being may not value his intellectual knowledge as ‘realization’, for as long as he has not been enlightened by Me Myself he will not be able to represent intellectual knowledge as absolute truth but only ever assume that it could be the truth, whereas he will now represent as truth what he has once ‘recognized’ through inner enlightenment. So as long as you humans still question or assume, the divine light of love has not yet become effective in you. But you can all acquire this firm conviction as soon as you give Me the right to let My ray of light of love flow into you through your will …. Then weakness and darkness will depart from you, then light and strength will fill you again, which were your own in the beginning …. And only then will your path go upwards, whereas before you were wandering along on the same level, often even in danger of going downwards again because you go astray in darkness and will never reach the aim ….
Amen

Don't let the sacrifice on the cross be in vain ….
B.D. 6938 from October 7th 1957, taken from Book No. 74
My suffering and dying on the cross can also have been unsuccessful for you humans, the sacrifice on the cross can have been in vain for you who do not allow yourselves to be impressed by it, who do not acknowledge the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, who merely take notice of the ‘human being Jesus’ but do not acknowledge His divinely spiritual mission, and hence you exclude yourselves from those for whom the act of Salvation has been accomplished. You consciously have to turn to Him if you want to participate in the blessings of the act of Salvation. The ‘salvation’ depends on you, even though I died for all people on the cross.
But you humans do not know that you are constrained, that you can never enjoy freedom in light and strength without deliverance through Jesus Christ but remain in captivity even if an infinitely long time will pass by ….You do not know that the state of bondage, the lack of strength and light, can never be changed other than by way of the Calvary cross …. And even if you reject the divine Saviour Jesus Christ, even if you ignore His accomplishment, it depends entirely on Him how long you will be in an unhappy state ….
You do not regard your human existence as very unhappy and therefore do not look for the One, Who can provide you with a blissful fate. But your earthly existence as a human being does not last long, and only then will you become aware of the torments of your inhibited state, then the energy of life, which was yours as a human being, is taken from you …. providing you are not bound in hard matter and have to experience the agonies of confinement therein. However, as long as you keep your self-awareness you still have the opportunity to call upon Jesus Christ, your Saviour …. be it on this earth or even in the kingdom of the beyond, if you are not absorbed by utter darkness. And for this reason My love constantly endeavours to direct your thoughts to Him, in Whom I embodied Myself in order to redeem you. Time and again I will try to bring Jesus’ achievement home to you. Time and again I will take care that His act of Salvation will be mentioned and that you, who are still completely distant from the cross, who attach little or no significance to anything in relation to Jesus Christ, will be given the information.
Every one of you will be approached and referred to Him sooner or later, every one of you can deliberate on the information about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, and everyone can now respond to Him in accordance with his will. But his attitude is decisive for an endlessly long time or even for eternity …. Because he may indeed have to stay in torment and constraint for an infinitely long time, but he can also be eternally free, and in light, strength and blissfulness thank his divine Saviour for the act of merciful love which had bought him his freedom and resulted in his blissful previous state again. No human being is exempt from this decision, and every human being prepares his own future fate …. but My love constantly helps him to make the right choice, My love constantly advises him, so that no human being will be able to say that he was left uninformed of the means for his redemption.
But even My love does not determine your will …. For you have chosen this wretched state of your own free will, and of your own free will you shall also make an effort to be saved from it again. And for this reason the salvation through Jesus Christ requires your free will, otherwise the whole world would have been redeemed already, otherwise no-one would be in bondage and weakness any longer, because the act of Salvation has been accomplished for all humankind.
But only your will utilizes the blessings of the act of Salvation, when you freely profess your faith in Him, Who died on your behalf on the cross …. when you acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ and thus want that I would have died for you. Then you will be truly liberated from the state of constraint, you will pass from this earth redeemed and enter the kingdom where you can be infinitely active and happy in light and strength ….
Amen
