Final destruction also an act of mercy ….
B.D. 7174 from July 25th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
The perpetual change of the outer form, the constant becoming and passing away of all visible things, guarantees a slow upward development of the spiritual bound in it, it guarantees the attainment of a certain degree of maturity, even if after an endlessly long time. Every change in the creation of nature is therefore proof of this upward development, even though it takes place in the law of compulsion. And thus it can also be concluded that works of creation whose change is not recognizable to the human eye …. which therefore require a very long time until external changes become noticeable …. still harbour very hardened spiritual substances within themselves which are only able to detach themselves from the depth with difficulty and which therefore often need help from outside in order to get rid of their cover and to be able to take on other external forms. Everything visible to you humans serves this upward development of the spiritual, and anyone who once makes these thoughts his own will also learn of his own accord to understand the necessity of events which bring about a violent detonation or dissolution of those works of creation which have already existed unchanged for endless times and yet also once have to release the spiritual for the purpose of further development. What people often regard as the greatest misfortune, because it places people and animals in unimaginable hardship, is at the same time an act of love and mercy on that spiritual which has languished for eternities in hardest matter and can only be freed from its imprisonment by such natural events willed by God. It is true that its resistance is often still very great, but it can only diminish in the individual phases of its development, because every slightest relief can also awaken the spiritual being’s desire for a serving activity and then the resistance also begins to weaken …. thus the upward development can continue. However, it is by no means insignificant when the spiritual substance bound in solid matter is allowed to become active, for the redemption periods also have a limited duration by God’s will, and the spiritual substance should also have started its course as a human being across earth during this limited time …. And therefore, at the beginning of a new epoch that which is bound in the hardest form will always have become free, which happens precisely through natural disasters, eruptions and destruction of earth creations at the end of the old earth period, so that then the spiritual’s path through already loosened forms, through the new creations, can begin …. while the now risen creations of hardest matter receive the spiritual into themselves again, which, as completely satanically influenced, belongs to the attachment of God’s adversary and is therefore banished again in hard form. And thus the destruction and total transformation of the earth’s surface predicted for the end of an earth period will also be explainable to you humans as an act of necessity, because one day the spiritual substances still languishing in the abyss shall also start their path of development and therefore must also be helped to emerge from hard matter …. For all ‘spiritual’ beings are beings which once fell away from God and which He wants to win back again on a path which He recognizes as successful. And all beings once emerged from His love and will not lose this love either, which is why He always and constantly helps them to emerge from darkness into light ….
Amen

Suffering as means of purifying the soul or love ….
B.D. 7175 from July 27th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Whatever contributes towards the soul’s maturity will often be experienced by you as a burden or hardship, for it is frequently the means of assisting the purification of the soul in order to make it wholesome and receptive to light. Nevertheless, an exceedingly effective means exists which is less painful for you humans: Acts of selfless neighbourly love …. Then the soul will mature very quickly, it will constantly acquire more strength and will reform and change its nature through love. However, for the most part you humans lack love, you still harbour much selfish love, you have not yet become completely unselfish in your thinking and actions, and therefore the soul’s purification needs to proceed by other means, such as suffering and illness, worries and adversities, which will then burden you and demand all your faith in order for you to free yourselves of them again. For in profound faith you would be able to entrust all your problems and sufferings to Me, you would be able to hand them over to Me and subsequently also be certain that I will take them from you. But this profound faith is, again, only the result of love …. And thus it will always remain a matter of greatest priority, love cannot be excluded; love is the correct and most certain means of freeing yourselves from illness and suffering, from all kinds of worries …. Yet, on the other hand, you don’t realise what blessings arise for the soul if you humans also patiently take all burdens upon yourselves, if you humbly endure everything for the sake of your soul’s maturing …. For no soul is already so mature that it, on passing away, will be of such crystal clarity that My light of love would be able to permeate it without obstruction ….
Blemishes more or less still cling to every soul, and the more of them it can discard on earth the happier it will be on entering the kingdom of the beyond and thank Me, its God and Father, for the time of trial on earth, regardless of how difficult it had been. And every day in earthly life is, after all, only an opportunity for testing, every day is a possibility for the soul to gather spiritual riches, and every day passes by and the length of time until its passing away from earth is getting ever shorter …. It won’t last forever, but the state of the soul, if it is imperfect, can last eternally …. And if you humans would only ever consider the suffering you have to endure as a means for purification, as the condition for a cleansing of your soul from all weaknesses and flaws still adhering to it, you would truly bless the suffering and be glad of it, because it will result in your spiritual progress and one day you will also realise why it was necessary during your earthly existence. You should learn to look at every day as a step on the ladder to perfection …. but you will also have to climb it in order to reach the goal. One day you will realise how useless those days were when you didn’t have to endure anything …. unless you spent them by being lovingly active …. Then the measure of suffering will also diminish, and there would truly not be so much hardship and misery in the world if people practised love, if they made an effort to carry out selfless works of love and thereby improved the maturity of soul in the most natural way. But if you have to suffer then be grateful for it and, despite everything, strive to shape your nature into love, for your life on earth is only short yet it is decisive for the whole of eternity.
Amen

Spiritual flattening ….
B.D. 7176 from July 28th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
The spiritual flattening has taken on frightening proportions and people themselves are not aware of it, precisely because they do not take the maturing of their souls seriously. They live and everything happens according to the worldly point of view, i.e. impressions are only ever received and utilized from outside, and what should happen inside a person remains unnoticed because it cannot be seen by fellow human beings. People don’t take their own spiritual development seriously but they are so overwhelmed with external impressions that they don’t notice their spiritual deficiency and rather believe that they live correctly and in accordance with God’s will because they are taught in this way. And this spiritual shallowness is such a great evil, for countless people suffer from it who are satisfied with customs and traditions, with ceremonies and ostentation which only keep the soul in ever denser darkness. But all of these people have been given the gift of understanding by God, all of these people can think in quiet hours about what is prescribed to them as alleged ‘means for the salvation of the soul’. All these people have the opportunity to approach the father in silent childlike prayer for the right knowledge, for doubts will creep into all these people from time to time as to whether they are serious about fulfilling God’s will …. Yet only a few use their intellect and with God’s help also attain the right knowledge …. The majority, however, let others think for them and blindly and unthinkingly follow the leaders who act just as conscienceless and live a superficial christianity devoid of all seriousness. But one day people will not be able to pass on the responsibility to their ‘leaders’, everyone will have to answer for himself, for every human being will be shown ways and means to tread the right path which, however, can only ever be found if a person is truly serious and calls upon God for truth, light, i.e. true knowledge. The spiritual shallowness is already so deep that people are no longer able to recognize the thickest nonsense as such or that they feel comfortable to move in it. And this spiritual flattening could only come about because God’s adversary was able to force his way in wherever there was a lack of prayers in spirit and in truth …. He succeeded in building up an illusory world which seemed to people to be a fully adequate substitute, into which they preferred to take refuge rather than into their ‘quiet chamber’ where they could have prayed in ‘spirit and in truth’ …. People seek pomp and splendour and do not know that satan is always hiding behind it …. People enjoy what they can offer to the eye but they do not look inwards into their heart where they could truly discover far more of the glories in intimate union with their God and father, Who only wants this intimate union with Him in order to then pour out His gifts of grace in abundance. And this intimate connection can be established everywhere but will never take place where the eye is directed towards earthly objects of all kinds …. You humans should make better use of your intellect, you should turn away in disgust from the works of satan who seeks to blind people and who has also succeeded in making them unreceptive to a true light, because the dazzling light has taken away their ability to recognize a gentle light …. You should only ever call upon God for true light, but do so by praying in spirit and in truth, which He will truly also answer and no longer let the person walk in darkness who earnestly desires light ….
Amen

God's word is truth ….
B.D. 7177 from July 29th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You should not trouble yourselves with doubts but only faithfully receive My word which could not touch you if I had not chosen you Myself to serve Me as a mediator. And the fact that I have chosen you should be proof of My never-ending love which applies to all My living creations, but especially to those who consciously belong to Me and consciously also want to serve Me.
And if I therefore prove My love to you through My direct address, you should resist all misgivings, all doubts, and know that you are safe in Me and My love, which will now also guide you as is good for you.
You should know that My love, wisdom and might is unlimited …. Then every doubt must also disappear that I will leave a child who trusts Me in adversity and misery …. because both love as well as might wants to and can remedy such at any time, thus nothing is impossible for Me. And I have always promised you My help, and you can expect it with complete faith ….
But I also know about the time when I work on you unusually because My wisdom is just as involved as My love and might. And this often makes you fickle in your faith and yet you could blindly trust Me because My word comes true, which is purest truth.
What is incomprehensible to all of you is known to Me from eternity, and I am not only concerned about a single soul but about many souls which I would still like to win before the end …. who often only need a little push in order to receive a light, and in whom I would like to kindle this little light.
And I will bless anyone who helpfully offers his services to Me and will certainly not let him come to any harm. Therefore you should be patient but not lose faith in My word which always and forever remains and which also guarantees you fulfilment.
You should know that I love you and that I also have the power to help you in spiritual and earthly adversity …. But you should leave it up to Me when My power expresses itself, but never doubt My love and power, otherwise you yourselves set limits to My activity which, however, can be torn down by anyone who firmly and steadfastly believes ….
Amen

Explanation for the great spiritual blindness of people ….
B.D. 7178 from July 31th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
What My spirit proclaims to you can lead you to brightest light if you, too, are of awakened spirit, i.e. if you want to receive truth from Me Myself …. if you not only let it resound at your ear but let it deeply move your heart and thus let the spirit within you speak, which will give you the right understanding for everything that comes to you from Me …. However, My working of the spirit in you is indispensable, otherwise you will only be dead forms, even though you appear to be ‘alive’ on earth …. But it is not the right life, for this can only be where I am Myself, where ‘My spirit’ can fill you. You must make this distinction with people, some of whom can rightly be called human larvae because they lack all spiritual life and are only active as far as their vitality allows them to be, but they only use it wrongly and thus make the state of death even more worrying, for it can take eternities before they find their way out of this state into life …. A bond with Me must be established as a human being which enables My spirit to flow into the human being …. Thus the bond between the spiritual spark in the human being and the eternal father-spirit has to be established, which will then also transfer the soul from the state of death into the state of life, which lasts forever …. At the beginning of your embodiment you humans knew nothing about what you were, what you are and what you shall become again. But I take care that such knowledge is imparted to you, even if it is now up to you again how you adjust yourselves to such knowledge …. But you are blessed if you don’t close yourselves off to such impartations, if you think about it yourselves, if you give the spiritual spark within you the opportunity to express itself …. which is already accomplished by your will alone to experience something according to truth. And truly, every person could muster this desire for correct knowledge, no person would need to live in spiritual darkness, for the heart’s smallest desire will be taken into account and the spiritual spark will be prompted to express itself as a result …. But the fact that so few people have the serious desire for truth is indifference towards their own earthly existence …. it is a disregard for the grace of embodiment as a human being, for which the human being will one day be called to account, because he was also given the gift of understanding by Me, which he truly should also use in this direction …. According to the law of eternal order certain conditions have to be fulfilled which allow the working of My spirit in the human being. Yet these conditions are not unfulfillable but they require the human being’s will …. and the will is free …. This is the whole explanation for so much spiritual blindness, where light could shine everywhere in radiant brightness. (7/31/1958) But what causes you humans to reject the light is your own weakness of will or your spiritual arrogance …. You believe yourselves to be superior to spiritually gained knowledge, you overestimate your intellect, even though you do not even make use of it to examine areas which lie beyond the earthly. The fact that the human being can never explore these areas by virtue of his intellect alone should nevertheless not prevent him from thinking about them, because then, depending on his desire for correct enlightenment, such can also be given mentally which, however, cannot touch him without thought …. And suggestions for this are given to him enough …. be it through conversations, through reading or through phenomena that are still inexplicable to him, concerning himself or the lives of fellow human beings.
Yet a certain inertia of thought is present, especially in people who have devoted themselves to the world …. Just such thoughts which concern the inner life or the spiritual world still hidden to them are annoying and inconvenient to them, and therefore every expression is made impossible for the spiritual spark in them, and spiritual blindness cannot leave them …. But life as a human being is also lived in vain by them, the soul has gained nothing from its earthly progress, on the contrary, it has added another great sin to its sinful state …. the misuse of free will, not having made use of all abilities and blessings as a human being. And this sin can also earn it a renewed banishment in a solid form if it does not still attain a small light in the beyond through the help of the beings of light or people’s intercession and then still takes the path to ascent after all …. but it was certainly not difficult to kindle the spiritual spark in itself during earthly life, as it is still possible until the end of life, because everything is done from My side to bring light to people …. even if they are unable to recognize it as light; but a good will can already be the cause that he feels touched by a ray of light, and then he will also follow the light and truly not be misguided.
For My constant concern is to bring light to all people on earth and also to the souls in the beyond, I want to win the souls back for Myself again from whom My adversary once took the light and therefore they are also kept in constant spiritual darkness as his share …. And thus it will always remain a battle between light and darkness which will never cease until everything shines in the brightest light of realization again, until I will also be able to call that which once fell away from Me Mine, which will now live and work in light and bliss, in strength and freedom again, as was its original purpose.
Amen

Purification of earth ….
B.D. 7179 from August 1st 1958, taken from Book No. 76
And there will be a new earth again on which people will be closely united with Me and thus live in accordance with My divine order. But this state can only be achieved through a cleansing process of earth …. so that the old earth will be shaped again such that everything will be back in its right order which, however, does not imply that this order can be established on the present earth, as so many people want to believe because they can’t bear the thought of an end of this earth. The forthcoming purification process will be thorough but first it will affect all people who no longer live within My eternal order …. yet it also includes the works of creation themselves because the bound substances therein will require new forms in order to achieve swift spiritual advancement …. and because I Am first and foremost concerned about the spiritual substances which have languished in hard matter long enough in order to be finally permitted to start their path of ascent …. A change towards Me would never happen again on this earth because people reinforce My adversary’s power which he will only ever use so as to achieve an even greater apostasy from Me. And as long as the adversary is not bound together with everything that belongs to him the low spiritual level will not only remain as it is but become progressively worse so that a state of harmony on earth can no longer be expected.
Therefore I will carry out a thorough cleansing, I will dissolve everything on earth that shelters spiritual substances and let a new earth arise with completely new creations which will be occupied by the spirits for the purpose of higher development …. And I will only populate the earth with people of such advanced states of maturity that they will be able to endure a blissful life in paradise …. with people who remained true to Me in the last battle on this earth and whom I therefore will return to the new earth as the root of a new human race …. Every new period of Salvation starts with a spiritually mature generation which shall influence future generations by showing them the path of ascent and helping them to reach perfection. And since My adversary will be bound people will not be oppressed by him at first either, consequently it will be a heavenly state for a long time where all living creations, people and animals, will live together in harmony and peace, where love will continually urge people into constant union with Me, where I will be able to be present with them and thus people will be blissfully happy, until the time comes one day when the bond begins to ease, when material things once again exercise their attraction and when the desire of people will loosen My adversary’s chains …. without being hindered by Me, because the test of free will, which previously was completely turned towards Me, shall become necessary again ….
Every period of Salvation returns many of the once fallen spirits to Me. If I therefore did not put an end to the present state there would truly be no further spiritual progress, for I, on My part, have granted the adversary the right to fight for the beings as well. But he abuses his rights by overstepping the limits of his authority, insofar as he tries to prevent people from receiving knowledge of Me, their God and Creator of eternity, altogether …. However, earthly life was given to the human being to decide which lord they want to belong to, consequently they also need to be informed of both lords and this is what My adversary tries to prevent by using all possible means. And therefore I will put an end to his activity, he and his followers will be bound and I will first of all establish lawful order again everywhere so as to safeguard the fallen spirits’ higher development in accordance with My plan of eternity.
Amen

Diversities of sources ….
B.D. 7180 from August 2nd 1958, taken from Book No. 76
And much will still be revealed to you before the end, for My grace and mercy still wants to grant you light and brightness for the sake of your soul’s salvation, which you, as human beings, certainly cannot claim. But the smallest little light can help the human being to find the right path, and that is all I want to achieve. For this reason My unusual instructions from above will reveal My plan of salvation ever more clearly to you, and My servants will receive ever clearer indications and therefore also be able to approach their fellow human beings ever more convincingly in order to speak on behalf of their lord …. I have opened up a spring for you humans in different ways, My pure water of life flows out of all of them …. but yet the stream varies in strength and power, i.e. a spring can only trickle sparsely but the water of life can also flow out of the rock in such abundance that the sanctifying power is felt beneficially by all who bend down and draw from it …. And such a spring will never dry up, for I have foreseen from eternity how many gather thirsting at this spring to receive the healing potion which truly gives their souls health …. And great things are at stake, it is the time of the end and it is urgently necessary that those are helped in their weakness who recognize it and desire strength. It is also necessary to impart so much strength to those that they can manage their last short ascent …. And this will be strenuous and require much strength, for people are to withstand the antichrist’s severe oppressions, they are to resist him and endure until the end in faith and love for Me ….
I have known about this state of need since eternity, and thus I also know that no human being would be able to obtain such a supply of strength from the watered-down teachings which have become weak, which are presented to people as My gospel and which lack the living strength …. And that is why I opened up a life-born, to whom the water of life …. “My word” flows out again pure and clear. And My love does even more, it gives a bright light where it is dark in people’s hearts, it also provides information about My plan of salvation, about My reign and activity, about the cause and purpose of earthly life and the human being’s actual task, so that the human being truly no longer needs to wander along in blindness of spirit and that he can also acquire much strength through it in order to be able to cope with the difficult time of decision which is now coming. And from this point of view you should also look at the mission of a person who is called to receive My divine revelations …. Then you will no longer fear that a haven of grace could close, for only one thing is important to Me, to refresh and revive people who long for strength, who need food and drink because they want to be and remain My own and cannot do so on their own. And I don’t want to lose anyone who is already on their way to Me.
Amen

Value of each soul ….
B.D. 7181 from August 3rd 1958, taken from Book No. 76
And if only one soul finds its way to Me through you, a work of salvation has already been accomplished which you cannot measure in its value. Again and again I place the erring souls on your heart, again and again I advise you to make their hearts more compliant through loving intercession, and whatever can happen on My part so that your work will not be in vain will truly happen, for I love every single soul and rejoice when it finds its way home to Me. And if you have the serious will for this redeeming activity it will also be blessed; again and again souls will be led into your path, and even if they are not immediately willing to accept your teachings the word you proclaim to them on My behalf can nevertheless fall on good ground, it can take root in the heart and then sprout up when a ray of love touches that heart which it does not refuse …. I truly would not keep highlighting your vineyard work like this if success were not to be recorded again and again. And since I wrestle for every single soul with My adversary so that it will still turn its will to Me before the end, I need you as mediators whom I use to address the souls. The path has to be shown to them, they have to know about a God Who wants to be their father and they have to know about this God Who came to people as saviour in Jesus Christ in order to open the gate to beatitude for them. Jesus Christ is therefore the path they must enter. And thus you shall inform people of the divine redeemer, in Whom I embodied Myself out of love for My living creations, which were otherwise eternally lost. Admittedly, it will be increasingly more difficult to win souls for the kingdom the closer the end is. And yet, no effort must be spared …. everything that can be described as vineyard work must be done: My word must be proclaimed, which is conveyed to you from above in all purity and which therefore also has the strength to favourably influence a soul if its resistance is not too great and My adversary thus still stands between Me and the human being, because the latter allows this himself through his will. Yet little success can be expected where the ‘word’ no longer has the revitalising strength, where it can no longer be called the ‘living water’ which flows forth from My eternal fountain of love, where one can only speak of a dead christianity, where My spirit is no longer effective and therefore no awakening to life is possible either. At this time people are in great need who are still of good will. And you should take care of these people, even if they reject you at first because they don’t expect anything better from you than what they recognize as worthless. And if only one soul comes to life this is a great gain, for then it will also enter My service, it cannot help but want to pass on the same what makes it happy itself and what it has recognized as truth. Therefore, don’t get tired and don’t let your failures hold you back from your spiritual activity. Countless souls in the beyond receive what a person on earth might reject, and these souls are eternally grateful to you that they were fed and watered with the bread of heaven, with the water which flows forth from the original source itself …. And thus no work is done in vain which is done for Me and My kingdom, for no grain of My eternal truth can perish, and it will one day nevertheless sprout and bear fruit, because …. what is from Me …. eternally cannot pass away ….
Amen

Walk through life with or without God ….
B.D. 7182 from August 4th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You have to take the paths which are marked out for you and they can also lead you to perfection, but only if you walk them with God. And thus your earthly fate can be difficult and your life arduous, yet in communion with Him everything will be a blessing for you, whereas a life without God can be as it wants …. it remains completely inconclusive as far as your perfection is concerned. For your test of earthly life consists of the right decision of will, and a right decision of will is the turning of your will towards God. And from this it follows that every experience was useless if it did not direct the human being’s will towards God …. just as, conversely, everything that promotes a conscious bond with God is beneficial for the soul. And it is mostly suffering and hardship or other severe strokes of fate which brought about this. And therefore you humans should humbly accept them from God’s hand, you should endure suffering and hardship in submission to God’s will, and you should always be aware of the fact that they are only God’s means of help which He uses to turn your will towards Himself. But if you walk the earthly path with God even the most severe suffering will be bearable for you because He will help you carry it. However, people who still have no bond with Him have to cope with everything that concerns them on their own. And if they are now afflicted by severe strokes of fate then they are often close to despair, and then they could certainly take the path to God, Whom they certainly know about but don’t want to believe in Him …. But their inner resistance is often still so great that they don’t want to bow down to a power which is stronger than they are. And then they can indeed also be helped but as an expression of strength by the one to whom they belong through their resistance, who is willing to give everything to the human being who turns away from God and whom he therefore still fully owns …. but whose help consists of earthly support, of material improvement, through which they can compensate for many things which fatefully burden them. Yet their path through life is in vain, for the human being did not pass the test for which he was given earthly life as a human being …. He did not find the bond with God and thus did not achieve spiritual success for his soul at the end of life ….
Amen

'Knowledge' is not yet 'realization' ….
B.D. 7183 from August 6th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
People’s views diverge widely, especially in the spiritual field. Educationally people have arrived at a knowledge which is very incomplete, and therefore they are all too often inclined to discard everything than to seek to expand their knowledge. And that is why they remain in a certain stagnation of their development. But they can also use their intellect to invalidate the knowledge they possess. And then they still lost instead of gaining during their life on earth. But again and again they are given the opportunity to take a stand on spiritual questions, again and again they are prompted to reflect by strokes of fate or events of all kinds. And the decisive factor is their inner attitude towards love …. A person who is willing to love will nevertheless slowly attain the right way of thinking, even if he was previously dismissive. But where all love is lacking, intellect will always become more prominent and instead of clarity create more and more confusion, because the spiritual spark withdraws where love does not cause it to express itself. And so people’s opinions must naturally diverge the more different the willingness to love develops in them. A person without love cannot have truthful thoughts, just as conversely a person who is willing to love is always more able to recognize truth from within. And thus the knowledge initially imparted to the human being is merely an auxiliary ladder in order to reach the truth, for love is preached to every person …. or also: it is made understandable to him that unloving actions do not make a person happy, whereas love bestows happiness …. And thus the human being also has to adjust himself to this ‘realization’, and accordingly the attitude towards ‘truth’ will now also be, accordingly the depth of knowledge will be …. It will become a living knowledge or remain a dead knowledge. And only then can the human being speak of realization when the knowledge in him has become a living knowledge. Love, then, is the key to realization …. Without love, however, the intellect can be as active as it likes, its results will always deviate from the truth, they will not bring the human being light but only increased darkness. And thus the pure truth will also meet with resistance and rejection where unkindness is openly revealed, whereas it is willingly and happily accepted by people who have a heart willing to love …. No other explanation can be given to you humans than this, that a person’s state of light will always be similar to his state of love and that therefore equal spiritual views will never be found as long as people do not have the same degree of love. But again and again God will fatefully intervene so that the spark of love can ignite in the human being. States of adversity approach him so often and so urgently that his heart could be inflamed by them, that he could be impelled from within to help and then the spiritual darkness would also be dispersed …. that sparks of light would flash up and bring illumination to the human being which would then also spread and his thinking would then be changed …. But nothing happens through compulsion …. and love cannot be forced either. But no human being is without the divine spark of love, and it is possible to ignite it at any time. But it is extremely happy when there is spiritual agreement among people, for the divine spark works in them, it ignites a light which will never go out again and which also certainly illuminates the path that leads to the aim: back to the father, home to the father’s house ….

Painful teaching methods ….
B.D. 7184 from August 7th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You will become increasingly more aware of how urgently you need help, which no human being on earth can provide for you. For you will be overwhelmed by such an obvious impact of forces which only I will be able to stop …. be they natural or fateful events which human help cannot resolve but which have to happen to you humans if I still want to win you before the end. You will hear increasingly more often about accidents and natural disasters, and as long as you are not affected yourselves they sadly all too often will pass you by without having particularly affected you. And yet they could suffice to make you think, and you could be spared the same fate yourselves.
But your indifference often forces Me to let the same hardship and misfortune happen to you as well, because I only want to achieve that you appeal to Me for help …. that you turn to Me in your adversity and learn to recognise that there is only One Who can and will help you if you ask Him to. As long as your daily life proceeds without specific incident your indifference is frightening …. towards Me as well as towards your fellow human beings in distress. If, however, you are affected yourselves then you will wake up and take stock of yourselves. And yet, one day could be as peaceful as the other with the right attitude towards Me, if you would enter into a Father and child relationship with Me, which would assure you of the Father’s constant protection …. Therefore, don’t be surprised if time and again you humans are rudely awakened by most significant events …. don’t ask yourselves why a God can be so cruel but know that your indifference and obstinacy prompt Me to use these very methods which appear cruel to you, and yet are only intended for your own good. What you find almost impossible to believe will happen, and time after time catastrophes will claim great numbers of human victims. And if you consider the approaching end you will also understand everything. Yet how few believe in this end, and how great is the number of those whose unbelief forces Me to use other methods in order to still save them before this end. And therefore you should at all times be prepared for surprises which will only ever trigger dread and fear …. they cannot be prevented because I don’t want to let go of those who have not yet entered into a relationship with Me. And they have to be dealt with firmly. But even the most severe suffering and most dreadful experience can be a blessing for them providing they take the path towards Me Who then will also want to give evidence of Himself, so that they will learn to believe in Me and My love for them ….
Amen

God is always ready to give ….
B.D. 7185 from October 9th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
And none of you shall go empty-handed, none shall have to go hungry, for all of you need the bread of heaven, all of you are dependent on food and drink for your soul, and all of you shall receive the right nourishment from My hand …. If such a source opens up to you, if you are led to such a source, then you will certainly soon feel the effect of what you enjoy …. And the nourishment offered to you is always to be valued according to the effect: the soul will enjoy a sense of well-being, it will mature and attain strength and power from a meagre state, it will step out of darkness into light and will no longer want to miss this light …. But you humans are not granted a very long earthly change to mature, and you can make good use of the short time but also miss a lot of time …. And yet, you cannot be forced by Me to help yourselves to the food which is offered to you out of My love, but it is at your disposal …. And now understand that you have to take the first steps which lead to My source; understand that you therefore have to go ‘to the lord’s table’, that you are indeed called to the table of the lord’s supper but that you now also have to take the path into the house of the host Who has invited you to take supper with Him. And this therefore presupposes your free will. If you now believe that I Myself restrict My gift of grace, if you believe that I could ever refuse you food and drink for whatever reason …. then you have not yet recognized Me in My love and mercy, Who would like to give you far more than you deserve and would also be able to accept in your inadequate human state. Yet I know precisely about this deficient state and therefore I call you to Me in a low voice to give you special loving attention in order to help you recover. And you must heed this gentle call and always follow Me wherever I beckon you to follow Me. For the well of life is deep, or also: My table is so abundantly laid that delicious gifts are everywhere to which I want to lead you. And thus you should leave yourselves to My guidance without any resistance, but you should not believe that I leave him who is weak without strength …. that I leave him who desires light without light, and that I deny food and drink to those who come to My table, who want to be My guests and who therefore ask the host for admission into His house ….

Increased light supply causes increased love ….
B.D. 7186 from October 12th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
And if you ask yourselves why you have to suffer, why you are hindered in your usual activity …. if you start to doubt My love for you, then there is only one way to find your inner peace …. the way directly to Me. I have not abandoned you, nor will I abandon you, because My love will not abandon you forever. But what I ask of you is likewise an ever deepening love, a love which pushes you ever more intimately towards Me so that I, too, can embrace you ever more intimately and constantly let My gifts, which make you happy, flow into you. And there are still so many gifts of grace which I would like to distribute to you who, after all, want to be and become My children on earth …. There is still so much light I would like to send to you, and it is an unusual state of need for people on this earth and also countless souls in the kingdom of the beyond: it is the time of the end when all bestowals of grace have to take place to a greater extent if help is still to be given to all those souls in this state of need. And this help consists in the supply of light, for darkness is great. Now light can be emitted in many ways and in very different strength …. yet you yourselves, who want to receive light, always determine the degree of strength. And this is why you should constantly endeavour to become receptive to an ever stronger supply of light …. the measure I want to give away is unlimited but your degree of love limits it, and therefore you deprive yourselves of wealth, of treasures which would nevertheless be offered to you so abundantly because My love is exceedingly great but which also require profound heartfelt love on your part. And therefore I seemingly withdraw Myself but only in order to increase your desire for Me. Yet I constantly draw you, who are nevertheless inseparably united with Me through your will. I will no longer give up on you but neither will I be satisfied with little, because you can only be completely happy when I can also give you complete gifts, and because I can only give you everything when your love grows to the highest ardour …. And I will also reach My aim, and you can rejoice and be glad that you have devoted your will to Me, for I will never ever give up anyone who once found the path to Me. And thus he need never fear that he will lose My love which follows him and will always and forever belong to him ….
Amen

Expiry of a redemption period ….
B.D. 7187 from October 13th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You only have a little time left and a redemption period will come to an end and a new one will begin. What this means is beyond your comprehension, and that is why all references to it are not believed. Rarely does only one person deal with it in thought, and therefore only one person also seldom prepares his life for it. But you should all be told that it is extremely important for you how you yourselves will be at the end of the earth period. And you have this state in your own hands and thus also have to answer to the one to Whom you owe the grace of embodiment as a human being. The fact that you live on earth as a human being is a grace from God …. your creator and father …. although, on the other hand, it is the consequence of the former sin of apostasy from God, which you therefore also owe to your deceiver and enemy, God’s adversary. But the return to God also necessitates your earthly progress, and this is therefore also granted to you through the love of the one Who created you. Thus the earthly path can earn you your return to God …. But you can also remain in the power of His adversary. You are free to do both, and God gave you …. i.e. the one who once fell away from Him …. certain periods of time for this purpose, which should serve that redemption from the adversary and return to Him. And such a redemption period has now soon expired and you are about to come to an end. There is the possibility to escape his power and return to the father’s house again …. but you can also forfeit this possibility for yourselves and fall back again into the dreadful fate from which you have already escaped through the endlessly long course of development over this earth …. You can again fall endlessly low and again need endless times until you reach the same stage and again walk the course over this earth. God knows the fate of every single soul, He knows its state of maturity, its attitude and thus also the danger it is in. And as long as it still walks across the earth as a human being there is also still the possibility of a change of will, which God now still uses until the end. And this also includes that people are repeatedly informed of what is in store for them. And He constantly warns and admonishes and never misses an opportunity to inform the few who are still open-hearted about coming events, about the forthcoming end, and to enlighten them about their actual purpose of earthly life and their earthly task. The fact that only a few ever accept what is proclaimed to them can be explained by the human being’s freedom of will, who may not be forced to believe by evidence or unusual phenomena. Yet God Himself addresses people …. they could believe if only they were willing to listen to Him, because then He would also be able to reveal Himself to them without coercion and soon they would no longer need any evidence and would feel in their hearts by Whom they are addressed …. And people would then live responsibly and also look forward to the end with confidence and without fear, for these will not be lost eternally ….

The fate of the soul after death ….
B.D. 7188 from October 15th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You should not be satisfied with a merely earthly-oriented life, you should think far more about the life which follows this earthly life and extends into eternity. You should know that you cannot undo anything you do on earth and that you cannot make up for what you have omitted but that you have to answer for it. Furthermore, you should know that your activity on earth can take on dimensions which you consider impossible if you strive for it yourselves and fulfil the conditions which earn you unlimited strength …. but just as you should also know that you deprive yourselves of strength if you only look worldly and thus miss the right purpose of earthly life. And all this knowledge should only contribute to you letting your will become active to live in accordance with the purpose, i.e. to place the soul’s well-being in the foreground and to now direct all your thinking, wanting and acting spiritually, always with the direction of God to Whom your soul shall return into the father’s house. No human being on earth is free from this task, but very few feel burdened by it, most people live into the day without being aware of what they should do …. But this ignorance is their own fault, because everything is done on God’s part to convey the knowledge of it to people. But it is up to each individual how he evaluates the knowledge he receives. And since such knowledge cannot be proven, it is rarely only believed. Free will must become active, the human being himself must freely decide how he will relate to it and then also become freely active. And if you now imagine the shortness of your earthly life and give account to yourselves how little time you use for your soul, for your spiritual well-being …. how much more the world keeps your senses captive …. then you should be frightened and yet look forward to the end of your life with heavy thoughts or try to change your way of life. But if such indications leave you unimpressed then you cannot necessarily be brought to think differently either, because this contradicts divine order, which likewise respects the human being’s free will as law and therefore does not violently break it. You humans should only think about it to the extent that you were not only allowed to embody yourselves for the sake of this earthly life, but that another meaning and purpose justifies your existence. You should pay less attention to the body but try to improve the soul’s fate with all urgency, for only when it leaves this earth will it become apparent what fate awaits it, and then it will be too late to make up for what it has neglected, even though it still has the opportunity to improve it in the kingdom of the beyond. But it will never be able to prepare the bliss for itself, which was nevertheless easily possible for it to achieve on earth. But it can also completely sink into the abyss and have covered the earthly path in vain. And then it can be spared a great agony or bitterest remorse …. but it cannot be spared the soul which ignores all admonitions and warnings in earthly life, which only lives for this earth and never turns its gaze towards the spiritual kingdom, which is, after all, its true home ….
Amen

Spiritual guidance from birth to death ….
B.D. 7189 from October 17th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Through the valley of life you are led from birth to the hour of death, and you can certainly reach your aim if you would follow without resistance the guidance that looks after you. But your guides must in no way determine you to follow them. They will always precede you and also try to influence you to follow them, but always without coercion. And therefore they will often experience that their protégés leave them, that they go their own ways and do not keep to the loving instructions. But they will not remain without care, again and again they will receive admonitions and warnings from their spiritual guardians so that they can place themselves under their protection again at any time and are safe if they voluntarily listen to them. Whether hostile oppressors try to incite people into resistance, whether people themselves allow their resistance to break through …. their guardians’ love applies to them throughout their earthly lifetime and is only ever concerned with their salvation, with the right conduct of life, with the fulfilment of divine will, with a way of life in love …. which will certainly lead to the aim …. to union with God. Help is therefore given to them from the beginning of embodiment until the death of the body. And yet, so many people fail because the will is free, because it turns far more towards where God’s adversary has his kingdom, where he rules, where he enticingly offers his goods for sale, which are far more appealing than spiritual treasures to which their carers would like to guide them. Man himself determines what becomes his property …. But God constantly helps him to be offered the goods which alone can make him eternally happy, and the human being can reach his aim on earth because he is helped from the spiritual side just as much as he is harassed or seduced by opposing forces …. He himself is not at a disadvantage but he creates both advantage and disadvantage for himself in free will. And thus he also thereby testifies to the degree of opposition he stands in, he himself testifies to his own relationship with God, his attitude and degree of maturity. But he can change at any time if only his will is willing. For his helpers support him with love, patience and perseverance, and only the human being’s will turned towards God gives them the right to actively intervene, and his salvation is assured ….

The battle of darkness against light ….
B.D. 7190 from October 18th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
The battle of darkness against the light is taking place to such an extent that people’s resistance to the introduction of light can be explained. For the prince of darkness is at work everywhere where only a spark of light threatens to flash through, where truth wants to assert itself against lies and error …. therefore, where the forces of light are at work. Darkness preserves the followers of God’s adversary, but light snatches them away from him. And therefore he will do everything in his power to prevent the light bearers from working. But the will of those light bearers successfully opposes his power because he cannot force this will, and as soon as the will is therefore directed towards God, God’s power stands opposite the prince of darkness against whom he cannot fight. But his counteraction will be recognizable wherever the light is to be carried and a person is active on God’s behalf in order to preach the gospel to his fellow human beings, and where this proclamation happens in a lively manner. A dead preacher of the word is no danger to Him, because such a preacher does not bring light but often deepens the darkness. And yet, God lets light bearers arise everywhere, and He Himself guides the truth to them, the light which is to bring knowledge back to people …. And those bearers of light are now active on His behalf, supported by Himself through His everlasting supply of grace, for it is urgently necessary that a light be brought into the dark night, it is necessary that people be helped to find their way out of the darkness into the light of the morning. And even the dark forces will never succeed in extinguishing a light which has been kindled by God’s love …. Such a little light will always flare up and break through, and it will shine brightly into the night …. And even if it encounters resistance …. the benefit of its rays will nevertheless be felt by many who want to escape the night …. And these will gratefully step into its light and allow themselves to be illuminated, and where once the night is broken, there it will also be dispelled and remain forever ….

The strength of Jesus’ name ….
B.D. 7191 from October 19th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You need only voice My name with profound faith …. and you will experience its strength, you will be aware of My presence and find help when you are in trouble. But how often does the world still stand between you and Me, how often is its influence still so strong that you are barely able to detach yourselves from it in order to turn to Me with all your heart, to take the leap from the earthly into the spiritual kingdom, so to speak …. I Am not realistic to you as yet, but nevertheless I can only manifestly help you if you wholeheartedly give yourselves to Me, if you take refuge in My heart and voice My name as being utterly present to Me. You can feel this presence of Mine in your heart, but then you will never ask in vain, your request will have been granted and the strength of My name will have taken effect there and then, and you will know what it means to call upon Me with complete faith …. You will understand what unquestionable faith means. And regardless of how much the world besieges you, you will always be able to make such heartfelt contact with Me that it will isolate you from the world, that My strength can flow to you. You need not be afraid that I will leave you without help as long as you always turn your eyes to Me, as long as you simply want to belong to Me. This innermost wish is the decisive factor in order for Me to draw you up and never let go of you again. But you also need to struggle, for you shall grow and develop, you shall not come to a halt and get tired and half- hearted in your striving, and therefore you shall call like children to the Father time and again, and the more heartfelt your call is, the sooner it will be granted, and you will experience the strength of My name …. I want to possess you completely but you must come to Me of your own free will, because I only possess the child’s love when it hands itself over to Me and faithfully voices My name as that of its God and Father of eternity.
Amen

God's infinite merciful love ….
B.D. 7192 from October 22nd 1958, taken from Book No. 76
God’s love has carried you through eternity, it has struggled for your love with immeasurable patience, for for eternity you had already stood at a great distance which had been created by your lack of love. But you emerged from God’s love …. Therefore His love for you could not pass away. But you yourselves were freely created beings which, due to their freedom of will, were able to reshape yourselves and turn your nature into something completely opposite. And an immense number of created beings have done this. It became God-opposing in its attitude and consequently also in its nature. It fell from the state of perfection into the opposite, it lost its power and light and thereby also its freedom …. But it was and remained God’s emanated strength of love, it was sparks of light from His immeasurable fire of love, which certainly got lost into infinity but could never disappear again. And thus these sparks of love lost their luminosity, and …. the more they distanced themselves from God …. they also lost their life, their power of movement and slowly became hardened substance …. which was basically spiritual but no longer corresponded to its former purpose: to somehow be able to be active …. For the being had originally been created for a free, active life according to God’s will. But now it had deprived itself of this life, it had made itself incapable of using strength and light in divine order because it had stepped out of this divine order itself. But it could no longer perish …. And neither does God allow that which emerged from His strength of love to remain in this unworthy state, which completely contradicts His order, for eternity. But neither does He force it to give up its resistance against Him. Yet the nature of the being when it dwells as a hardened spiritual substance far away from God is also completely without strength to take the path of return to God, and it had also lost the consciousness of an individual being …. it is a dead spiritual mass which requires help if only the slightest change is to take place. And God’s all-merciful love now helps it to achieve this change, and where God’s love is at work, success can also be irrevocably expected. But when this success is reached is not determined, because the being’s free will must again declare itself ready for the final return, which is only given back to the being in a certain stage of ascent development. But the fact that that stage is reached is the great work of mercy of fatherly love for Your living creations, which otherwise would have to remain eternally in endless distance. As soon as you walk this earth as a human being you will have reached that stage of free will …. But consider that it took eternities until the once-fallen individual being, which was once again divided into innumerable particles or small particles of strength, came together and existed again as an I-conscious being. Consider that the preliminary stages of this development were innumerable deformations which contained all those small particles of strength; and understand that the entire creations …. all works of creation visible to you as well as innumerable spiritual creations …. are and were shells of those dissolved particles of strength. are and were shells of those dissolved beings which, with progressive development, contained more and more of the substances of the originally created being, until finally all particles belonging to an original spirit are gathered again in the external form of the human being and now, therefore, in the state of free will this original spirit has to pass the test of will again: its recognition of the creator as father, to Whom the being offers its love and would like to be united with Him again …. This, then, is your task as a human being, which you must solve in complete free will …. (22.10.1958) And this task is extremely significant, for a failure, a disregard, can result in eternal times of hardship and torment, in captivity again …. that the being will be dissolved again into countless particles and bound in solid form …. a state which is so dreadful that no human being would want it if only he received a glimmer of realization of what this state consists of. This glimmer can certainly be given to him through teachings which, however, lack all evidential power and are therefore rarely only believed. But they are nevertheless given to the human being …. For God’s love is infinite, and it is precisely this love which again and again tries to give people a little light, which lets the light shine into dark areas, which only ever endeavours to give so much good to the human being that he feels love burning within himself for a being Whose love he feels. And as soon as love has ignited in the human being’s heart, the aim is also certain: the final return to God …. The fateful course of a person’s earthly life can lead to this aim, for it is determined by God’s love and His unsurpassable wisdom, always such that His love can also be recognized by the person who is aware of a spiritual earthly task and already possesses a glimmer of realization, because he is without inner resistance towards his God and creator. But where this is still present the divine light of love does not penetrate either, because it does not necessarily express itself but holds back with its effect of strength …. thus it does not grant ‘realization’ to the one who resists it himself. But God’s love nevertheless pursues the human being …. and once it also safely reaches the aim, once every being turns towards it, yet it determines the time itself when it gives up its resistance ….

God wants to reveal Himself ….
B.D. 7193 from October 23rd 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Oh, listen within and you will discover wondrous things …. God’s infinite love will reveal itself to you as well as His supreme wisdom; for everything surrounding you is His work, and He Himself will enlighten you about His reign and activity in order to make you happy and to make you receptive to the bliss again that was granted to you in the very beginning. You can go through earthly life entirely ignorant but also be brightly illuminated by the light of realisation if you accept what is offered to you …. if you listen to God’s voice Who Himself says to you ‘listen within, for I want to reveal Myself to you ….’ His love for you will not diminish and did not even diminish when you turned away from Him and fell into the abyss …. For His whole nature is love and you, in your fundamental substance, are likewise love. In essence, you cannot separate yourselves from your God and Creator Who is love Itself …. you will forever be connected with Him. However, you volitionally distanced yourselves from Him and are therefore spiritually unenlightened and without realisation. But the light is nevertheless in you …. a tiny spark of divine light rests dormant within you and is at all times ready to illuminate your inner being and to spread an immeasurably brilliant light ….
God Himself is in you, for the spiritual spark in you is part of the Eternal Father-Spirit. Allow Him to speak to you, grant Him your attention, listen within, and thereby create happiness for yourselves on earth already, that you feel close to the One Who created you and that you dispelled the dark night which surrounded you before the light was able to shine in you. Frequently look for hours of inner reflection and totally hand yourselves over to the One from Whom you originated …. He will take hold of you and never exclude you again, He will speak to you and you will hear His voice, you will be united with Him and not abandon this bond again, and He Himself will guide you into the kingdom of light when your course of life is over. The fact that God wants to reveal Himself to you as a Father is certainly true …. Yet the fact that you desire to hear Him and listen within is the prerequisite that He will be able to reveal Himself. And the more heartfelt you hand yourselves over to Him, the clearer and more distinctly you will hear His Word …. However, you must believe that the Father wants to speak to His child. You must believe in His inconceivable love, and your love must impel you to Him …. Then you will hear what makes your soul joyful. You will become enlightened and in bright radiance take the path of ascent, you will walk heavenwards because you follow the light of eternity to the right goal ….

The eternal light descended to earth ….
B.D. 7194 from October 26th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
An unusually bright light shone when I descended to earth, for the darkness that lay spread over them had become impenetrable …. People found themselves in a night from which they knew no way out; the darkness did not leave them because no light shone anywhere. They would have sunk into this night without salvation if help had not come to them …. and I brought them this help …. A light shone to earth, so bright and penetrating that it could dispel the night where it was not maliciously prevented from shining. I came to earth Myself, the light from eternity, for I took pity on the hardship in which humanity found itself in this darkness. I looked for a human shell for Myself which was pure and able to shelter My light within itself; I chose a form for Myself because, in order to be able to dwell amongst people, I needed such a form so as not to compulsively influence people to accept the light I wanted to bring to them. I came to people as a ‘human being’ Who indeed harboured the ‘light’ in all its fullness within Himself but only let it shine when fellow human beings wanted to kindle a little light for themselves. And because I dwelled among people in a veil I was only slightly recognized as the ‘eternal light’ Which came to earth out of love …. I was not recognized as God and father Who wanted to help His creatures to become His children …. For in this dark world one ruled who did not want to allow a light to break through and who therefore tried everything to prevent Me from working on earth, who wanted to extinguish the light and thus deepened the darkness ever more. And I had to fight against him, I had to face him in battle if I wanted to bring salvation to people, if I wanted to release them from his power. For out of the dark night many cried to heaven for salvation because they could no longer bear his rule, and for their sake I descended to earth. I therefore became a human being because this battle had to be fought as a human being, for the earth was his domain where he had unlimited power which I, as ‘God’, did not break but as ‘human being’ wanted to defeat him …. in order to show all people a way to likewise become master over him. In the darkness that surrounded them they saw no way out of their imprisonment …. But I showed them the way …. I Myself walked the path as the man Jesus, and all they had to do was follow Him, and they will likewise be free from his power, they will likewise overcome him, for there will be light in those who take refuge in the eternal light, Who embodied Himself on earth in the man Jesus, and ask Him for help against the prince of darkness …. And the light will be victorious, for it descended to earth in order to redeem people ….
Amen

Taking refuge in Jesus ….
B.D. 7195 from October 27th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
No soul can go astray if it abides by Jesus Christ, if it asks the divine Redeemer for help against its enemy. For this soul accepts Jesus Christ and He will wrest it from the adversary by strengthening the soul’s will, so that it will turn to Him and detach itself from the adversary time and again. But in order for a person to take the path to Jesus Christ he must know about the work of mercy Jesus Christ, the man, had accomplished …. he must know about his original sin and its consequences and about the necessity of acknowledging Jesus Christ as God and Redeemer …. On the whole, people will indeed have this knowledge but not all of them have formed an opinion about it yet. And the latter is needed if the human being is to consciously take the path to the cross. For as long as it only remains formal knowledge, as long as the human being himself has not spent any thought on what it means to confess Jesus Christ, he will remain enchained to the adversary’s power, he will still be unredeemed, because the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ will still be a meaningless concept to him, He will just be a name but not a living Saviour for his soul. But every person may take comfort in the fact that he need only hand himself over to Jesus Christ, that he need only appeal to him to save him from the enemy’s power …. and that this request will indeed be granted because it will testify to the person’s will to escape the latter and to return to God, for which the human being alone would be too weak were Jesus Christ not to grant him His help. However, this help must be consciously requested. And that necessitates the conscious acknowledgment of Jesus as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world, in Whom God Himself descended to earth in order to redeem humanity. Hence all people must take notice of Him, and thus He must be proclaimed all over the world …. His progress on earth, His life of love, His bitter path of suffering and His excruciating pain and death on the cross must become livingly imprinted in people’s hearts, for the dead knowledge of it alone is not enough if a person does not allow it to come alive in his thoughts in order to assess the magnitude of his own guilt, to atone for which Jesus endured dreadful suffering …. The human being must realise his own immense guilt and desire to be released from it, only then will he voluntarily take the path to Him and remorsefully pray for forgiveness, he will appeal to Him to take care of His weakness and to release him from the power of the one who once caused his downfall …. And he will not appeal in vain, for He came into the world in order to redeem the fallen, in order to save the wretched, which are too weak to release themselves on their own and therefore require Jesus Christ’s help.
Amen

What should the right prayer be like? ….
B.D. 7196 from October 29th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
I will not deny My help to anyone who asks Me for it in faithful trust …. But what should your prayers be like? …. It is not enough just to speak the words of your mouth or to have fleeting thoughts which only deal with the wording of the prayer …. You must speak to Me like children who trustingly speak to the father. And you will truly not make a wrong request. For I want you to come to Me with every request, I want you to speak to Me so intimately that you feel My nearness; I want you to feel increasingly more united with Me, that you don’t look for Me in the distance but constantly know yourselves to be close to Me which, however, only your will, i.e. you yourselves, can establish. It is the certainty of My constant presence which secures everything for you: Help, the feeling of security and thus also a carefree life on this earth, for where you are certain of My presence all worries and hardships leave you, for you trustingly carry everything to Me and I truly take them away from you because I love you and have always promised you My help …. Therefore, no suffering and no worry need oppress you on earth if you always let Me be present to you …. and you always let Me be present to you through your will of love which is meant for Me, through every work of love which is meant for your neighbour, through every thought of Me, through every word which your heart speaks to Me …. which is not just form or lip service. Therefore I admonish you again and again to pray ‘in spirit and in truth’ …. For I can only answer such a prayer, only through such prayers will you establish the bond with Me which will then also secure My help for you. And again and again you must therefore look for Me in your thoughts, you must not allow Me to be displaced from your thoughts for long, I must always be and remain the content of your life, and therefore the world must not gain predominance and dominate your thoughts. And the more intimately you join Me the more firmly I will hold you and the easier it will be for you to childlike direct your prayers to Me. Every childlike call to Me touches My ear, and My fatherly love will not deny the child anything …. unless it would harm his soul. But I will not disappoint a child’s trust, and I direct everything to the good for the sake of the child’s love which turns to Me so that I will help it ….
Amen

Power transmission through Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 7197 from October 30th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You are still wearing the earthly garment, and that also means struggle, darkness and weakness, for only when you have taken off the earthly garment can you speak of freedom …. as soon as you have overcome, i.e. have emerged victorious from the battle. This is why life will remain a battle for you until the end, only you can request more or less strength from Me, which you will also receive for the sake of Jesus Christ. And thus you know that you can procure strength and power yourselves if only you intimately call upon Him, Who died as a human being on the cross for you in order to acquire the grace of strength. In Him I Myself came to earth, and in Him I Myself accomplished the act of salvation …. Hence you ask Me Myself for strength and will therefore never need to fail in the battle against darkness. Therefore you need not be afraid, no matter how great your discouragement may be. If you call upon Me Myself in Jesus Christ, the enemy of your soul will be pushed away from you, for he is the one who wants to instil fear in you, who wants to turn you away from Me in order to keep control over you himself. Therefore you have to fight against him, but this battle can already be victoriously fought by calling upon Me in spirit and in truth …. You only need to think of Me sincerely, you only need to unite with Me sincerely and present your inner hardship to Me, so that you feel weak and appeal to Me for strength …. And all weakness will fall away from you, for you can no longer feel weak in My presence, and you draw My presence precisely through this heartfelt call in spirit and in truth. And even if it is only a thought it will not fail to have an effect, and soon the feeling of weakness will give way to inner calm and security because My presence does not allow anything oppressive, because victory is certain in every battle which is fought together with Me. And as long as you have to fight I want you to call upon Me as a fellow fighter …. but then every fear will be unnecessary, every weakness will be remedied and you will emerge victorious, for I Myself truly fight with you victoriously against the enemy ….
Amen

Reformers …. desire for truth …. right thinking ….
B.D. 7198 from October 31th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
As long as you humans are filled with a profound desire for truth you can also be certain that the truth will be conveyed to you, because I bless every person who has an inherent desire for truth or who allows it to arise within himself. Then My spirit will inevitably start to work in him, which is now granted the right by the person himself to express itself. For desire for truth is an inner questioning which does not remain without an answer. And there would truly not be so much error in the world if people desired to stand in truth, but their indifference gives access to error which originates from My adversary and can slip in where there is no defence precisely through an earnest desire for truth. The latter is a strong protection against wrong thinking …. And thus the purification of an educated teaching will only ever be possible when this desire for truth prevails in a person who makes it his task to separate truth from error. He will wage war against error and lies and fight it out with inner certainty because his thinking is enlightened by his zeal for truth. For I Myself am the truth, and anyone who wants to fight with Me and for Me will certainly have My support, I will not let him walk in error or encourage renewed error, for he is My representative, not a representative of My adversary. And if people want to claim that pure truth will never be proclaimed, that error is always mixed in even with those who intend to represent pure truth, it has to be countered that the sincere desire for truth and the intention to be active for Me and My kingdom as true representatives of truth is also the surest protection against erroneous views …. Such a truth founder will be protected …. but what his followers will make of the pure truth again first has to be examined, for as soon as the same desire for truth does not prevail in them a gap is already open through which the adversary can slip in and let erroneous thoughts flow in again, and then very quickly a pure seed, as it originated from Me, will be contaminated again and weeds will spring up again where that seed was sown. From this it can be seen that every reformer can pursue the best aims, that he can also carry out a temporary cleansing of educated teachings and thus the pure truth from Me can replace a completely defaced teaching again: but that again and again My adversary is offered the opportunity to find shelter, so that even lukewarmness and indifference can result in misunderstandings or wrong interpretations and after a short time the same deplorable state of affairs can prevail as before. And only a sincere desire for truth will ever be the guarantee for correctly guided thinking, so that no person needs to walk in error but everyone who desires to know the truth may know that he is guided by Me and led to the truth. For he protects himself from erroneous influence, he recognizes error as such, and he will only ever accept right thoughts because I enlighten his spirit, as well as I Myself as the eternal truth can also express Myself through a person’s desire in him through My spirit. It is so easy to recognize the truth if only the right path is taken, the path to the eternal truth Itself …. Yet it is seldom taken because people are satisfied with what they possess …. but which has not remained unaltered, even though it originally came forth from Me as truth. People’s indifference towards the truth has itself resulted in these falsifications, and people’s will must also strive for the truth itself. Only then will it be conveyed to them again by Me Myself and also recognized by those who demand truth ….

Remorse in the beyond …. Ascent ….
B.D. 7199 from November 1st 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Sooner or later you will bitterly regret the time you had lost in your earthly life and you will realise in the beyond what you had forfeited in your earthly life. And lost time during your earthly life is every day which was purely spent in an earthly way, when you gave no room to any spiritual thoughts …. which thus did not correspond to the actual purpose that is the reason for your embodiment as a human being. As long as you live on earth you don’t take this knowledge seriously, even if you have it. Yet in the kingdom of the beyond it will burden you like a heavy stone which you will be unable to shift. You will remember these days time after time, and you will regret every pointless deed, just as you will bitterly regret every missed opportunity which you could have utilized for the benefit of your soul.
And still you can count yourself privileged if you come to this realisation in the spiritual realm, if you don’t belong to those who are utterly immersed in darkness and don’t even feel remorse, because they simply don’t realise what they had inflicted on themselves …. who will still have to struggle for a long time in order to ever get to the state when they can see a small glimmer of light and only then realise how futile their earthly life had been …. For once this glimmer of light exists the soul can still be motivated by bitter remorse to turn inwards and change its thoughts and will …. And then it can be given enough strength to enable it to actively help suffering souls, and after that it will certainly progress, even if the conditions are far more difficult than it would have been possible in earthly life.
Hence remorse has to precede progress, for only a soul which begins to understand will try to change its situation, and any realisation will also reveal to the soul the futile path of earthly life, which will always result in bitter regret but also signify a turning point in its wretched state. But for this reason it is also of greatest significance for the human being that he will still arrive at some, if only minimal, knowledge while he is still living on earth, that he will begin to recognise the purpose of earthly life and still try to improve himself before he passes away from this world. For to be able to pass over with even the smallest amount of knowledge will always signify a glimmer of light for this soul …. it will not be moved into total darkness after its physical death, it will be able to find its way about in the twilight, and in a flash it will understand and then also do everything in order to acquire light for itself.
It will also recognise that much work is waiting for it in the spiritual kingdom if only it is willing to work, and the small glimmer of light will guide it onto the right path, which it indeed will take with a feeling of remorse for not having used its earthly life correctly yet also in constant hope for help, which it surely will be granted as soon as it recognises Jesus Christ and appeals to Him for help. Then it will not be hopelessly lost, it will be able to ascend; it will just never be able to achieve the degree which results in unlimited beatitude at the Father’s heart …. the childship to God, which is the fate of those who on earth endeavour to fulfil the task they were given …. who looked for and found unification with their Father of eternity on earth already ….

Love compulsion of the child ….
B.D. 7200 from November 2nd 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Through every heartfelt call you force Me to lean down and listen to you. It is not possible for such a call to go unheard, for the bond is now consciously established on your part which actually could not be dissolved, the separation of which was only striven for by your will and which I therefore regarded as existing because you wanted it. But as soon as your call to Me is full of intimacy your will has changed and you therefore force Me, i.e. you appeal to My love which does not refuse itself because it cannot help but make you happy and give itself away …. Consider that you are able to force Me to express love …. again only through your love, which impels you towards Me and thus also lets you send this heartfelt appeal to Me. Love is a very powerful thing, it compels …. but I will gladly comply with this compulsion, because love takes away all bitterness which otherwise means compulsion for the being. My love for you would indeed likewise force you, you would not be able to resist it if I let it work on you with all My strength. But I am not interested in winning you through compulsion of love, and therefore My love remains ineffective as long as you close your hearts to Me yourselves until love urges you towards Me …. But once this has happened there is no longer any inhibition, then My love will express itself, then it will give you what you desire. That is why a heartfelt plea must also find fulfilment, because My love cannot deny itself. Only every inner resistance must have been given up because it hinders Me in My activity. And thus it will become increasingly more understandable to you that profound love for Me cannot be thought of without strong faith, because the latter comes forth from love. And thus you need only ever try to establish the bond with Me so firmly that you, like children, touch the father’s heart and no longer allow yourselves to be displaced …. And your faith will become ever stronger, your strength of faith will tear down all barriers which so far prevented Me from unrestricted activity. It is love which ensures your fulfilment, love for Me and for your neighbour, which lets Me be present to you, which removes every separation between us, which compels Me because I cannot resist a true child’s love …. because it brings back to Me what once wanted to detach itself from Me but which belongs to Me for all eternity ….

God Himself guarantees the truth ….
B.D. 7201 from November 3rd 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You represent the truth …. If you unite with Me in order to receive purest truth, you are also My representatives on earth from that time on, then you are merely the mediators who enable a supply of truth which seems natural to people, otherwise I Myself would have to speak loudly and audibly and this would be a certain compulsion of faith which would have an unfavourable effect on people’s souls. People shall be guided into truth, they can only receive the truth from Me as the eternal truth, thus I have to convey it to them through a human being who, as it were, can only be regarded as a mouthpiece through whom My flow of love is conveyed …. And this flow of love, My pure word, must now also arrive on earth exactly as it originates from Me …. My word can only flow into a person purely and unadulterated and will also be received by him in exactly the same way. And a person in whom My spirit is thus active is solely at My disposal, and I will not allow My adversary to use the same instrument in order to express himself in the same way. Therefore, the objection that there is no guarantee that the spiritual knowledge received by My servant as ‘My word’ is pure, unadulterated truth is completely invalid. It truly must be possible for Me to convey the truth to people if I want to do so …. and the fact that I want to do so is based on My love for My living creations, which only find their way to Me through the truth …. You humans cannot dispute My love and My power. And if it were not possible to convey the truth purely to earth, My power would also be disputed. You humans often don’t know what you are saying; you think you are clever and want to instruct your fellow human beings and yet you contradict yourselves precisely in the so-called fundamental truths …. on the one hand you want to portray Me as the highest and most perfect being and yet you deny Me the simplest characteristics of My perfection by granting My adversary the power to displace Me and to use a person in My stead who has offered himself for My service. But consider the untenability of your claim …. consider how small you make Me out to be if I did not want to or could not prevent such things. The great spiritual adversity consists precisely in the fact that people walk in darkness, that they are spiritually blind and that lies and error darken their path of life. And again and again My love will endeavour to convey the truth to them, which alone illuminates the path that leads to Me. And thus it will certainly also be possible for Me to protect a suitable tool from being used by My adversary …. And the fact that I do so is certainly more credible than that I don’t, otherwise it would be completely impossible to bring the truth to you humans. But then you can also reject the scriptures which announce My working of the spirit to you; you can reject every word I spoke as the man Jesus on earth …. Your faith in Me is truly weak, you who deny that the pure truth from God is directly conveyed to you humans, and your faith is therefore weak because you lack the truth, because you have already been so darkened in your thinking by error and lies through My adversary …. And I will bring you light so that you will learn to think differently …. And if you humans, who deny My direct working, would turn to Me yourselves in your thoughts and ask for clarity you would truly find it, for I give answers to every serious questioner which will also seem acceptable to him. Yet most of you feel too exalted to address such a serious question to the one Who alone can answer it, because you think you are clever …. But your hearts can only become enlightened if you accept the truth from Me. Yet as long as you reject it it will remain dark night and you will be in greatest danger of perishing in it, for darkness will not bring salvation to anyone ….

Man's attitude to thought ….
B.D. 7202 from November 5th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You are surrounded by waves of thoughts which continuously flow towards you from the spiritual kingdom, and you can accept these or also repel them, you can let them have an effect on your heart but also close yourselves off …. This is entirely up to your will. But your whole development, for the purpose of which you live on earth, is accordingly. For thoughts are the influence from the spiritual kingdom, both from the world of light as well as from the dark world, through which your soul can be held captive or also released from its present state. As I-conscious beings you have the ability to think, i.e. the ability to deal with the spiritual material which is mentally conveyed to you from the spiritual kingdom. You have the ability to take up thoughts that surround you and to deal with them, no matter what the content of these thoughts is. The origin of these thoughts is always that spiritual world to which you open yourselves through your attitude, through your will, which is why the earthly world or the spiritual kingdom can be of interest to you and thus worldly beings and those from the world of light also strive to win you over and it is up to you which waves of thoughts you open yourselves to, which thoughts you pick up and process by using your thinking ability to make the thoughts your spiritual property. Your will is free, it cannot be determined by beings from the spiritual world …. You yourselves take possession of what suits you, but no human being can say that he has never been considered by that world which supplied him with thought material beneficial to his soul …. For a battle is waged in the spiritual world for the souls’ will, and this battle can only take place through mental influence, and the beings of light as well as of darkness do everything to win over the souls …. Yet as long as the human being does not consciously surrender to the forces of light their battle for the soul is very difficult compared to the dark forces, for these have far more influence on the human being who stands in the midst of the world and whose body seeks to satisfy far more needs and therefore worldly thoughts are also far more accepted and cultivated. Only a conscious life, a life where the human being knows about his earthly task and strives to fulfil it, makes it easier for the beings of light to make an effort to be able to dominate mentally, and then the waves of thought will circle him ever more often which impart spiritual knowledge to him, and he himself will be more and more willing to give attention to this…, and then there will no longer be any danger that the world will prevail, that worldly thoughts will come to the fore, but they will only prevail to the extent necessary to still preserve the body as long as it has to fulfil its task of serving the soul to mature. So then the will will be far more inclined to let itself be washed around by the thought waves which are sent to it from the kingdom of light; the heart will be willing to accept them; it will convey the thoughts to the intellect which will then deal with them, and the human being will benefit from spiritual knowledge which is of use to the soul and determines its fate in eternity, for the human being will live his way of life in accordance with these thoughts, or the beings of light will guide and influence his will, thinking and actions so that he will already strive for perfection on earth and also reach his aim ….

Rejection of the divine Word in spiritual arrogance ….
B.D. 7203 from November 6th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Anyone who rejects the Word of God in spiritual arrogance when it is offered to him through My servants on earth will be seriously accountable for it one day, since it is not spiritual inability to be able to recognise something bright but it is a rejection due to dishonourable motives supported by My adversary’s influence. ‘Spiritual arrogance’ excludes all scrutiny, spiritual arrogance is an obvious sign that the person is subject to dark influences, for spiritual arrogance is the distinctive mark of the one who opposes Me because he refuses to acknowledge Me. Spiritual arrogance of the first-fallen spirit resisted and rejected the light which permeated him, therefore utter darkness engulfed him. Hence the human being will remain in spiritual darkness when he arrogantly rejects the light again, when My grace wants to emanate it in order to provide a glimmer of enlightenment to his heart …. But the reason for refusal is important, for it can also be rejected due to other reasons which cannot be as condemned as this very arrogance of a human being.
And one can speak of spiritual arrogance when a person believes that he needs no further instructions, that he has sufficient spiritual education, when he overestimates his own knowledge and therefore believes that he does not need additional information. However, even then the human being should still be prepared to examine what he is offered. If he still maintains his will with conviction and rejects it again then his verdict will not be as severe, then he lacks judgment due to spiritual blindness …. If, however, he omits all scrutiny then the human being’s blatant rejection will repel My hand of grace that I offer him and the responsibility will hit him hard one day, for one day he will realise the truth, and then it might be too late ….
No one can be forcibly persuaded to accept My Word but everyone will sooner or later have the opportunity to seriously deal with questions of doubt, for I place such doubts into the hearts of those who are not yet on the right path. All people should, in fact, form an opinion about such questions, they would only derive benefit from it, for they will certainly receive clarification providing they genuinely desire it. But then it will show whether the person seriously desires the truth …. for it will indeed be offered to him. Spiritual arrogance, however, will instantly reject it because this is My adversary’s will and his determination will be fulfilled by those of like spirit.
Arrogance caused the fall of the former being of light, and arrogance is therefore also his supporters’ nature which unmistakably characterises them as his followers. And a big step has to be taken, the human being’s nature has to seriously try to change itself …. the person has to step down from arrogance into humility and thus completely detach himself from My adversary and approach Me with utter humbleness …. Only then will a light shine into the person’s heart, and only then will he be able to recognise the precious gift of grace which My Word represents to every person and his soul’s salvation. Only then will he gratefully accept what the Father’s love offers to His child …. Then he will hunger for food and drink yet also be constantly satisfied by My love ….

Servants called by God in the vineyard ….
B.D. 7204 from November 8th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Anyone who decides to work for the kingdom of God has completed the return to God, even though he does not yet need to have reached the highest perfection he can achieve on earth …. But he has taken the return path to God and also offered Him his will to cooperate and in all humility himself …. And God will now eternally no longer leave him out …. But the prerequisite is an earnest will to act …. Working for the kingdom of God requires such a serious will to cooperate in the vineyard of the lord, it requires a degree of realization of humanity’s spiritual hardship, and this degree of realization is the result of a life of love without which no human being will ever seriously offer himself to work in the vineyard. Yet people can declare themselves willing for self-interested reasons, that is, they are also willing to serve God but still lack the right realization of what God requires for such service. These are the servants who call themselves for the sake of the ‘calling’ …. who are not yet alive enough to recognize what work awaits a true co-worker of God and what prerequisites must be present in order to be able to fulfil God’s requirements. The spiritual hardship of his fellow human beings should not make a true servant of God think of his own needs, for as soon as he himself is already in the light of realization he also knows that all his needs and worries are in the hands of Him Whom he is willing to serve …. that He cares for His servants like a good householder …. And therefore He can only apply all His care and strength to the need of His fellow human beings and help them to come to the light …. And then he will carry out his vineyard work with all diligence and also achieve success, but this is not the case with those who think too much of their own needs and do not yet have a right relationship with Him, Who cares for His children like a father, Who Himself said: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness …. everything else will be added to you ….” A true vineyard labourer will therefore no longer have any great worldly ties, only the spiritual condition of his fellow human beings will be his purpose in life, i.e. he will see his task in bringing light to those who are still darkened in spirit …. he will feel obliged as a vineyard labourer to be constantly active for his lord, he will, as it were, have finished with the earthly world and only live for God and His kingdom …. even though the earthly world still makes demands on Him which he cannot escape. He will therefore be so eager in his activity because he feels called by God Himself, even though he freely offered himself to Him for service. Such a calling will only ever be felt by the human being who, through loving activity, established the bond with the eternal love and thereby also heard Its ‘call’ and bowed down to It. Now the light of realization could be kindled in him and now he also recognized his task, which consisted of his ‘service for the lord’ …. And he now seeks to fulfil this task with all diligence, and he now works among his fellow human beings in a living way as a co-worker, as a faithful servant who only ever carries out his lord’s will and whose work will therefore be blessed ….

Unusual phenomena …. (UFO's)
B.D. 7205 from November 10th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You can always rely on being correctly instructed when you turn to Me Myself for an explanation. You will also sense it mentally, that is, your reasoning will already have moved towards the truth because this is what you are looking for …. Thus emotionally and instinctively you will already be on the right path even if you are still occupied with apparently-unsolved problems. For the prerogative of those who unite with Me, the Eternal Truth, consists of the fact that they feel an inner resistance as soon as they are affected by misguided thoughts …. You have to expect many unusual phenomena during the last days, and then you can decide for yourselves whether to ascribe them to Me or to My adversary, who will conduct himself equally extraordinarily to gain his victims. And you will also have to learn to differentiate. You should not forget that the world is his domain and therefore he will also show himself in the world and by means of worldly machinations. But you should know, too, that there is no power which could prevent My working and thus change My eternal plan of Salvation, which includes an end of this earthly period …. For I pursue a goal which only serves to release the fallen spiritual substances from the abyss …. And I truly know when the right time will have come.
One thing is certain: My adversary’s plans do not agree with Mine, he does not pursue the same goal …. i.e. to help the fallen spirits …. instead, he only ever intends to render My plans ineffective, to put a stop to them and at the same time defeat Me, which he will never achieve. On the one hand, he now urges people to experiment in various ways in order to destroy creations, because he believes that he can thereby release the captive spiritual substance and gain it for himself …. and on the other had he makes people believe that they need not fear the danger of an end in order to stop them from consciously working on improving their soul which, in view of the end, is nevertheless pursued by those who follow the signs of the time and therefore also know how late it is. For that reason he works with much cunning and causes confusion, which will also affect those who do not want to belong to him.
He tries to make people believe in apparently real things which will retain their appearance until suitably minded people have sighted them …. people who, due to their attitude and thoughts, are susceptible to God’s adversary’s influence …. who do not even want to think about an end of this earth, who would rather believe in the most incredible actions or provisions to prevent such an end than to accept the truth, which is proclaimed to them time and again. Their attitude provides My adversary with a good response …. they believe themselves to be within the range of good forces and yet have become subject to My adversary, for he uses them to spread misguided teachings and satanic work.
My adversary is entitled to immense power at the end. It is the countermeasure for My unusual, merciful work on people whom I still want to help to find Me. I work in unusual ways indeed but I do not affect people’s senses unnaturally; I work inwardly and want to gain influence in people’s hearts …. My adversary, however, makes an impression on people’s senses, people’s intellect, and he only strengthens the desire for an indestructibility of earth and a prevented end at the last minute. My adversary counteracts Me and My proclamations and that alone should expose him, it should demonstrate who is at work when people’s minds are troubled by inexplicable events through which My predicted end of the earth becomes questionable …. My Word is truth, and thus My adversary cannot refute these proclamations, irrespective of how cunning and crafty he intends to proceed. And people themselves could recognise who tries to influence them if only they would always take the path to Me, Who truly will not withhold the truth from them.
Amen

Unusual phenomena …. (UFO's)
B.D. 7206 from November 12th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Anyone who mentally ventures beyond earthly spheres will also be influenced by forces of the beyond, for he is constantly surrounded by such forces. But this influence is of a spiritual nature, because contact between this world and the world of the beyond is established through the human being’s will. However, you humans must differentiate between establishing contact with Me through prayer …. and contact with the spiritual world due to your will to gain knowledge from these spiritual powers, thus opening yourselves up to the influence of this spiritual world. No such established contact will remain unused, irrespective of whether I Myself or spiritual forces react to it, because the initiated connections from earth to the spiritual world are extremely important for the development of the human being’s soul. For the effectively spiritually blind human being shall acquire spiritual vision, and his spiritual eyes can only be opened through an inflow of light which either flows to the human being from Me directly or through the spiritual beings of light. Hence, any link from earth to the spiritual world is welcomed by the beings of light, who are aware of peoples’ state of darkness on earth and would very gladly like to give them light in accordance with My will …. However, they are governed by My will to give what is beneficial for people. And My will also stops them where too bright a light might damage a person by dazzling his eyes and rendering him incapable of perception.
My adversary, however, uses deceptive lights precisely because he wants to impair people’s vision, because he wants people’s eyes to become entirely incapable of recognising the soft light coming from Me, which has a beneficial effect and brightly and clearly shows the right path to Me. Therefore he endeavours to let as many deceptive lights shine as possible in order to confuse people …. He endeavours to lead people into a direction where they apparently can gain information, where the human being believes he can get hold of knowledge and yet receives completely misleading spiritual values …. My adversary has many such means which he uses to cause ever greater mental confusion in people. He often ignites such glaring, deceptive lights that people are engulfed by darkest night if they look into this light for a long time, since it does not provide them with permanent enlightenment but suddenly returns them into total darkness again. And countless dark forces are supporting him by participating and appearing as supposed beings of light …. by prompting people to establish the above mentioned links with the spiritual world by way of improper thought transferences which either flatter people or promise them advantages, so that they will follow these thoughts and thus enter a region which is governed by dark powers. Just the intention of wanting to acquire knowledge without turning to the right source can lure people into a dangerous region from which they can only save themselves again with great difficulty …. The will to step out of the ordinary, to experience the extraordinary and wanting to excel with exceptional knowledge leads people into this dangerous position where dark forces overpower them and thus dazzle their vision.
And in view of the end there is an increased risk, for the universe is full of poison-spitting spirits which are loyal vassals to My adversary in order to corrupt people. His influence is powerful because the human being does not resist him, but he could become master over him by just entrusting himself to Me in Jesus Christ, Who defeated him through My crucifixion. But instead of calling upon Me the human being calls upon other powers in the universe, and he will indeed be heard by these powers and helped …. frequently in a way which brings ever greater darkness instead of brightness. He moves increasingly further away from the truth, he allows himself to be captivated by delusions, by illusions brought into being by My adversary …. He offers immature spirits the opportunity to express themselves and accepts their information as pure truth …. He is most dreadfully deceived by My adversary and always believes himself to be enlightened …. But he will not accept the truth which consists of the fact that My Word cannot fade away, that it will come to pass and that My Word has announced an end ever since the beginning of this era …. And this end will come and no one will be able to stop it …. And anyone seeking protection will only find it with Me, yet a person will call for help in vain if he turns to powers which promise him protection but are unable to provide it …. For these powers only aim to corrupt you, to withhold the truth from you and not to let you find the light …. And if you listen to them you will then also go astray and remain in their power for an infinitely long time ….
Amen

Only a short time of grace left ….
B.D. 7207 from November 14th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
Every day takes you closer to the end …. And no matter how busily you create and work for your earthly well-being, your concern will be futile, for you will be unable to enjoy the benefits of your efforts, everything you think you can buy will be taken from you again and you will only have few possessions to take with you into the spiritual kingdom when everything is over, because you will only keep the spiritual goods which your soul acquired on earth. But regardless of how often this is said to you, you don’t believe in an approaching end and your efforts to attain the possession of this world increase every day and render you incapable of working at improving your soul. Yet were you able to foresee that you only have a short time of grace left, you would be alarmed at how close you are to the end …. But earthly life moves on every day, one day goes by like the other, and this is precisely what makes you question predictions of this nature …. However, from one day to the next everything will change, suddenly you will be confronted by events which will completely disrupt every individual person’s life, all of you will be pulled out of your usual composure and be faced with great dangers, you will have to defer your earthly work and plans because you will simply no longer be capable of dealing with them in view of the imminent dangers caused by human will …. For nations will rise up against each other and it will only take something minor to burst into flames which will threaten to destroy everything. And then people will forget even more what their actual earthly task consists of …. But neither will they be able to continue with their work and activity, but instead only try to save themselves and their belongings, thus only consider their physical life and comfort but never their souls. And they will have to recognise that they are powerless in the face of all events which threaten to befall them. They will appeal to people’s common sense and good will but to no avail ….
On the human side everything will take its dreaded course, but the divine side will intervene and thereby shatter human plans; nevertheless, people will not be spared what they had anxiously feared: They will suffer the loss of all that which keeps their hearts imprisoned, they will lose everything and will be able to learn to recognise the power of God in a natural event of incredible magnitude …. For the Scriptures will fulfil themselves …. And you human are on the verge of this whether you want to believe it or not. You carelessly only ever create and work for your physical needs and will lose everything …. But you do not care to satisfy the needs of your souls …. For then you will need not fear anything even in this forthcoming time, because then you will be taken care of by the One Whom you have already accepted, otherwise you would not want to consider your soul. For this reason the forthcoming event will be mentioned to you time and again, time and again His Words will sound as an admonition and warning, and time and again the foolishness and pointlessness of your earthly striving will be brought home to you. You only need to listen to it and arrange your life accordingly, and you would be able to face the coming events calmly and without worry …. Don’t be too delighted about the apparent calm and the prosperity in an earthly sense, don’t stifle your conscience with earthly pleasures …. They are only illusions which will quickly fade away, for you humans will watch powerlessly as everything comes upon you and be unable to defend yourselves from it …. But is has been announced to you often enough, giving you enough time to consider it and change yourselves. The fact that you fail to do so will have a dreadful effect on you, for God’s plan is irrevocably fixed and, as soon as the time has come, it will be implemented, as it has been determined since the beginning ….
Amen

Contact between stars …. (UFOs)
B.D. 7208 from November 16th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
There is no earthly-material world whose inhabitants could purely physically leave this world without losing their lives …. irrespective of whether this concerns the earth or other planets which shelter beings whose physical consistency depends on the planets properties, that is, they adapted themselves to the planets nature. Therefore it will never be possible for inhabitants from one planet to go to another, because natural law prevents it and because each planet only ever provides the living conditions for the living beings it was allocated by God’s will …. Although spiritual connections between different worlds exist they only ever pursue and intend to achieve spiritual goals, but they would neither want nor be able to provide a planet’s respective inhabitants with material advantages, as people imagine or hope for. Contacts between different stars do not exist unless a spiritual connection is established between the beings on spiritual creations who can emanate their light to all celestial bodies and who are thus also mentally connected to people on earth if people want such a connection, if people are receptive to their illuminations. Then these beings of light can indeed also offer advice about earthly matters, they can take care of people’s every earthly need and in a truly divine sense exercise their influence on people …. But to appear to people visibly will always be an exception in very special circumstances and for very special reasons, which should not be generalised by expecting or announcing a definite forthcoming mass appearance of such beings ….
People should bear in mind that they live in the last days. They should think about what it means that God’s adversary is nearing the end of his freedom, that he will be bound again and that he knows he only has little time left. Nevertheless, in his delusion he still believes that his power will triumph. And therefore he will stop at nothing in order to achieve his supposed victory. And if people know this then they will also be able to understand what seems strange or mysterious to them. And science will also provide much clarification …. But unexplained events occur in areas outside the realm of science, which are of a more transcendental nature …. And especially these areas are used by the adversary to make his exposure more difficult …. to make people believe that they are approached by beings from the realm of light and then surrender to his influence. This influence always intends to divert people from the truth, to darken their thoughts with error, thus preventing their return to God. For people’s thoughts will be redirected towards matter again which should be overcome during their earthly life.
The adversary will negate everything that is proclaimed by God as ‘close at hand’, everything that is related to the ‘approaching end’, and thus people are led into false expectations which result in indifference towards their souls and the great danger that the souls will experience the end unprepared and be lost again for eternity. Unworldly-minded people will not fall prey to the adversary’s artful temptations, for their focus on God and their desire for truth also guarantees that they think correctly. And although they are unable to explain such appearances it will not seriously affect their way of life …. they will steadfastly continue on their path until the end, always protected by the beings of light who prevent God’s adversary from seizing them. For in the final analysis it is a person’s own will which determines whether and to what extent he lives in truth ….
Amen

What is spiritual hardship? ….
B.D. 7209 from November 17th 1958, taken from Book No. 76
You humans are not aware of the immense spiritual hardship you suffer because your senses are still captivated by the world and thus you cannot even assess the darkness surrounding your thinking. Every day can be the last one for you on this earth …. No-one knows the hour of his death, and no-one can extend his life for an hour …. And you do not consider this …. or you would prepare yourselves for what will come afterwards since you know, after all, that you cannot take anything with you when you have to pass away from earth. But what is your soul like? Do you ever seriously contemplate what your fate will be afterwards? You resist such thoughts, you push them far away from you once they emerge, and yet your soul can be in a state of distress because it has to leave the body without light when the hour of passing away has struck …. when it finds itself in profound darkness in the spiritual kingdom wandering about deprived and unhappy because it doesn’t know where to turn to in this darkness. It is you, it is your actual Self which cannot vanish even if the soul had to leave the body …. But don’t think that you will no longer exist, that your existence will have come to an end with the death of your body …. Your existence will be just as real as on earth, and you will experience suffering and torment just as much and even more intensely because you suddenly realise that you lack all strength to change your situation …. a fact which is extremely agonising to you because you have to endure it due to your own fault. For if only you lived a little more consciously on earth the soul would not enter into the beyond in such a wretched state, because a small glimmer of light would show the path it has to take in the beyond in order to ascend. For every soul has the possibility to continue what it had failed to do on earth, if only it has the will to do so. But whether it makes use of this possibility is up to itself but first it requires a small glimmer of realisation without which it will remain helplessly and miserably in the same state.
And if only the human being on earth would actively endeavour to gain faith in life after death, to live a life after God’s will, if only he would try to discard his faults and weaknesses and be lovingly active towards his fellow human being, he would leave the profound darkness and step into a faint twilight, and if he enters the kingdom of the beyond with such a faint light his soul would get on better, it would recognise its further task and try to fulfil it …. For it will not be entirely blind and spared the worst suffering. Yet how many people don’t even consider their soul’s salvation just once a day, all their thoughts and intentions only relate to the material world and to the attainment of purely earthly advantages …. The immense spiritual hardship consists of the fact that people are entirely unaware of why they are on earth, that they only ever think of ‘life itself’ as important and never ask why they were given this life. And in this darkened state they are approaching the end of the earth which will suddenly and unexpectedly come upon them and finish innumerable people’s lives prematurely who don’t even consider pondering thoughts of death because they believe that they have plenty of time left. All these people are so earthbound that they will also remain within the sphere of Earth when the end has come …. so that an ascent in the beyond will be impossible for these souls because they will not be able to detach themselves from the material world for a long time …. And many of them will have to take abode in matter again because they are not yet mature enough for a spiritual sphere. And this is the beginning of the state of torment again which they had long overcome already …. But people do not believe it if they are being admonished to make use of the short time on earth for the salvation of their soul; the do not believe it and cannot be forced to adopt another way of life either. Only the love of knowledgeable fellow human beings can try to influence them, and occasionally love will indeed be able to achieve something, even though every human being will keep his freedom of will. Yet the struggle for such a soul shall be continued until the end, the battle of light against the darkness shall be waged until the end, because precisely the forces of darkness are fighting especially fiercely and the forces of light must therefore not abandon the battle on their part. And just a small ray of light can ignite and penetrate the darkness, which always signifies the salvation of a soul which will be infinitely grateful for it, even if at first it is only surrounded by some twilight. Yet to have escaped the most profound darkness also means a detachment from the prince of darkness and to walk towards the light ….
Amen
