Book 78 · BD 7399–7434
Cause for the entire creation …. Lucifer's fall ….
B.D. 7399 from August 27th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
In the beginning you were free beings, full of light and strength, capable of creating and working in inconceivable bliss, and doing this in harmony with My will. In the beginning you were images of God, created in all perfection, which is precisely what characterised you as God-like beings and made you supremely happy. This state, however, did not come about on your own merit but as a result of creation since nothing imperfect was able to come forth from Me and every created being corresponded to the Fundamental Being Which had externalised it into space …. I was the Creator of all these beings and thus the living creations had to be absolutely perfectly shaped beings which corresponded to My fundamental nature. But I was not satisfied with this creation, I was not content with beings which had to be as I created them, but I wanted to be surrounded by beings which were like Myself but had shaped themselves into such beings of their own accord . . . This sounds incomprehensible to people who do not delve deeper into the cause of the entirety of Creation, who have not yet contemplated what forms the basis of the act of Creation …. And it is, in fact, only understandable to spiritually awakened people to whom all correlations can therefore be explained. A perfectly created being was incapable of acting in any other way but in a good way as long as it was only active within My will, that is, as long as it receives its thoughts from Me and processes them in accordance with My will. But such a being only is and will always remain a ‘living creation’ of Mine …. which, despite its perfection, did not satisfy Me.
However, I had equipped all beings with free will, because this is an essential part of a being’s perfection. And this free will was therefore meant to help Me complete the work I had commenced, but which had to be continued by the beings themselves in order to turn the ‘living creations’ into ‘children’ who were to create and work with Me and beside Me in supreme beatitude. Their free will was not restricted in either direction …. And this free will had to subsequently prove itself, the being, which was able to desert Me, was supposed to stay with Me of its own volition and thereby prove its divinity …. The beings were quite capable of doing so, since they were brightly enlightened and undeniably recognised Me as their God and Creator …. But there also was another goal before their eyes …. a goal which they were able to see, in contrast to Me, Who was an invisible God to them and Whom they also wanted to behold …. This visible angel-spirit was Lucifer, My first emanated work of creation, who radiated in supreme brilliance and in this beauty also remained visible for the beings. He, too, had to take the test of free will, he, too, had to prove his divinity by voluntarily subordinating his will to Mine, by keeping it within My eternal order, in harmony with his divine nature. But he directed his will wrongly …. He was able to do so by virtue of his freedom and I did not restrain him in any way when he turned his will away from Me and became My direct opposite …. I did not prevent him from influencing all the other beings in this direction as well and allowed them absolute freedom to decide …. for Me or for him …. For only this decision determined the fate of the beings which emerged from My love and whom My love wanted to turn into My children …. which, of course, is and will always remains the work of these beings themselves. Thus I allowed My created beings absolute freedom in regards to their decision and only a small fraction passed this test of will and remained with Me, whilst the majority followed Lucifer and thereby plunged into the abyss, that is, they lost light, strength and freedom and can only regain these after an infinitely long period of time, but then they will be able to stay with Me in supreme beatitude as ‘children’ into whom they shaped themselves of their own free will in accordance with My plan when I created them …. and therefore I will not rest until I have, sooner or later, achieved My goal ….
Amen

The free will of man Jesus ….
B.D. 7400 from August 29th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
The man Jesus had to die on the cross for His fellow human beings’ guilt of sin, because without the death on the cross there was no redemption for them from their guilt. But He accomplished the act of salvation of His own free will, He was not forced to do so by anyone …. And therefore He had to walk an earthly path as a human being in which He completely united Himself with the eternal deity, i.e. He had to live a life of love and through love unite Himself with the eternal love. His earthly life was difficult and sorrowful because He knew about His mission, He also knew, because His nature was pure love, about everything that still happened and had to come and thus He also knew about His bitter suffering and death, He overlooked His life until the end for His immense agony. But He persevered …. It would certainly have been possible for Him to refuse, He need not have feared any coercion from God, for His will was respected like that of every other human being …. but in His love and wisdom He saw the appalling state of His fellow human beings and that there was no way out of it because people themselves were not strong enough to release themselves from the adversary’s bondage by God. And the weakness of humanity took pity on Him and impelled Him to a work of mercy such as has only been accomplished once out of love for suffering humanity. His love was so profound that it prompted His decision to offer Himself to God as a sacrifice of atonement so that people could be released from their great guilt of sin and return to the father, Who eagerly awaits His children and who therefore also accepted the sacrifice of the man Jesus. Free will moved Jesus when, by virtue of His love, He recognized the misery humanity was in …. Only then did He become aware of His mission, only then …. when free will had decided in man …. He recognized that God Himself had chosen Him as a cover in order to accomplish the act of salvation in Him, and then He also knew about the entire crossroads which was His fate in earthly life. And He did not let Himself be deterred by this knowledge, He consciously walked amongst people and taught them so that they would make themselves worthy of the act of salvation through a right life of love, so that they would learn to recognize Him and the one Who sheltered Himself in Him through a right life of love …. But precisely this conscious path to the cross increased the extent of suffering He had taken upon Himself for humanity, for He knew about all the pain and suffering that awaited Him, and He often felt compelled to refrain from it and, by virtue of His free will, not to walk the path to the end …. Yet always only for a short time, for His love for His enslaved brothers was stronger and love determined His will to endure until the end and to go through all suffering and pain until His agonizing death on the cross, which, however, was then crowned by His glorious resurrection and ascension …. The man Jesus was not driven, He accomplished the work of salvation in free will, but He was full of love and the love in Him was the driving force for His work of mercy …. But love was God, and thus God in Jesus suffered the death of the cross, He accomplished the work of atonement for humanity, He took the guilt upon Himself and atoned for it …. He redeemed the world from sin and death ….
Amen

Frugality ….
B.D. 7401 from August 30th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You should already live a frugal life from an early age, since you will find it easier to overcome matter; you will not hanker after earthly pleasures and won’t find it difficult to abstain from them for the sake of spiritual gain. But the more the greed for earthly pleasure is aroused the more the soul will have to combat it, for its cravings will always prevent its striving for spiritual values because it captivates its senses and they cannot easily detach themselves from material things which merely provide the body with a feeling of well-being but which are and will remain detrimental for the soul. Therefore, it is indeed advisable to suggest a certain amount of ‘fasting’ to people, but this fasting only consists of limiting everything that the senses avidly desire. The human being is not entirely forbidden from enjoying things, it is just that through excess pleasure he can damage himself by rendering these very senses unsuitable for receiving spiritual knowledge, while a ‘conqueror’, someone who can control himself and is satisfied with little, can easily be open-minded for possessions of a spiritual nature, because he is no longer hampered by matter but has subjugated it through his will. Frugality can never be damaging but can always be of use …. whereas an excessive amount is always harmful and no person will ever take possession of spiritual goods who only satisfies his body’s needs and cannot find the right measure.
As long as a person is in control of himself he can also be expected to open himself to spiritual influx; if, however, the body is excessively considered …. which means the fulfilment of all cravings …. then the person will close himself to spiritual influx, because there is no possibility for both since matter excludes the spirit, because two different realms offer their share and the heart cannot respond to both at the same time. Nevertheless, the human being has been granted a certain measure, for whatever the body needs for continued existence may be desired by the person and taken possession of …. Yet the less use is made of this measure the greater will be the soul’s advantage, insofar as it will receive an abundance of possessions, which alone are of value, because they are everlasting and will be taken over into the kingdom, which alone is real and which the soul will enter when it detaches itself from its body and passes over into the kingdom of the beyond …. Then it will receive abundantly because it had been satisfied with less than what was at its disposal on earth …. Then it will no longer have to constrain itself, it will receive whatever it desires and it will receive much pleasure in eternity ….
Amen

Forwarding the power from God ….
B.D. 7402 from September 1st 1959, taken from Book No. 78
When My word sounds to you from above it is an influx of My strength of love which must always have its effect. Thus your soul will never remain unimpressed, even if the body feels nothing of it. The soul feels the influx of strength and either uses it immediately when the opportunity arises or it withholds the strength until it needs it. And it will always let the strength work to fulfil My commandments, it will do something by which it fulfils My will, it will, as it were, always be urged by the spirit within itself to do or refrain from doing what corresponds to My will …. My direct address must have such an effect or it would not be a divine emanation. For nothing that comes from Me remains without effect. This is why a person can call himself rich who constantly receives the grace of My direct address, for his soul will mature because it is never without strength to work with love in accordance with My commandments. It will not need to force itself to do so, it will be driven from within; the human being will feel the need to hand out because he can make his fellow human beings happy. And this can be earthly-material goods but also spiritual goods, for the human being will always possess both in accordance with My promise: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all else will be added to you ….” And even if a person is not richly blessed with goods he will always have what he needs and will always also be able to give to his fellow human beings who are in need. And likewise he will be able to distribute spiritual possessions, for he constantly receives such from Me Myself because he gives himself to Me and opens his heart when I want to speak to him. There is a direct connection from the kingdom of light to earth as soon as a person hands himself over to Me and expects to be addressed by Me. And this bond is also utilized by the inhabitants of the world of light, who are present wherever My word is heard because they likewise pass it on to where spiritual darkness still exists. All these beings of light likewise receive My word, My address, and all of them also receive strength again with it, which they constantly let emanate again to the beings which are still powerless. And the state of powerlessness can be found everywhere, on earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond …. But what My direct address from above means precisely when the beings are without strength and desire it cannot be made comprehensible to you humans, but you yourselves are called to pass on My strength, and therefore every person is also blessed who makes it possible for My strength to emanate to My living creations which need it. Contact must be established between the source of strength and the beings which are still devoid of all strength. And where a human being is ready for this, the source of strength can now also pour out and flow through all powerless beings, for there is great hardship on earth among people who lack strength. But also in the kingdom of the beyond an immense number of beings remain powerless and wait for help to be brought to them in the form of a supply of strength …. And such an influx of strength is made possible by a person on earth who voluntarily prepares himself as a vessel into which I can pour My flow of strength of love, who opens his heart and ear and listens to what I say to him, and who is then eagerly willing to pass on what he hears to all who want to listen to him again, who accept My word as it was conveyed to people from Me Myself from above …. All will experience abundant blessings who only allow themselves to be addressed by Me, to whom My word is a gift of light from above and who now move it in their hearts and live accordingly …. But they must be doers and not just hearers of My word, then every word will be a blessing to them which has taken the path from above via a willing person to all people who listen to and live it out again of their own free will. And the source of strength will not run dry, again and again people will be able to refresh themselves from it, again and again they will be able to draw from the well of life, and again and again I will address every person who only desires to be addressed by Me ….
Amen

The last judgment ….
B.D. 7403 from September 3rd 1959, taken from Book No. 78
There will be an end with terror for all who do not believe …. For they will experience something they did not think possible because it is something completely extralegal …. a process they cannot even follow to the end but will be the victims themselves, for they will lose their lives in the process, they will be swallowed up by the earth, and there is no way out for anyone …. unless he still calls out to Me from his heart in the last hour that I may help him. But the people who will experience the end, apart from the small flock of My own, who will be raptured before their eyes, are already completely given over to satan. are already completely enslaved by satan, and there will only rarely be one among them who converts not only out of fear but out of sudden realization of a mighty God Who can help him. And people will also no longer have time to think about it, for suddenly and unexpectedly the last judgement will fall upon humanity …. Suddenly and unexpectedly fire will come out of the earth, it will split and devour all living things on earth. It will be an act of very short duration but of tremendous effect, the earth will open like an insatiable abyss and absorb everything as it is proclaimed in word and scripture …. And there is no salvation …. it is irrevocably the end for everything that lives in, on and above the earth …. For the time set for the spiritual’s development has come to an end and much of the bound spiritual must continue its course of development in a new form on the new earth. And this spiritual substance is grateful for the transformation because it is progressing in its development, which was already made very difficult for it on the old earth by human will …. But the spiritual embodied as a human being experiences a step backwards in its development because it is dissolved again into innumerable particles which all have to go the path again through the creations of the new earth, all of which are banished again into solid matter and begin an exceedingly agonizing existence again in a bound state, so that one day they will reach the stage again where they are allowed to embody themselves again as the soul of a human being …. You humans are now facing this great earthly and spiritual change, and the time until the end is shortening from day to day …. You are unaware of the horrors that lie ahead of you …. you calmly approach the day of dissolution which will nevertheless cause so much horror in you with subsequent banishment if you do not belong to My own, to those who believe in Me and …. if they are only of weak faith …. will already be called away from earth beforehand so that they will not completely fall prey to satan because they would not be able to withstand the temptations by the adversary in the last days before the end …. All you humans who have to prematurely give up your earthly life, all you who mourn your departed loved ones …. rejoice, for they are saved from the downfall, from the ruin to which people fall who live ungodly lives and experience the end in this ungodliness. They cannot find mercy with Me, for I admonish and warn people again and again and so urgently to prepare themselves for this end without being listened to, and I cannot exert a coercive influence on them, I have to leave them their spiritual freedom which they abuse in such a way that they strengthen the adversary’s power until the end and will also succumb to his power. Hard battles with this adversary still lie ahead and I therefore appeal to you humans to stand by My side in this battle if you want to be victorious and emerge from the fight in freedom …. And I will speak until the last day, but it is entirely up to all of you humans how you decide …. But the end with terror comes for all who do not believe and do not acknowledge Me …. But I will save My own from every adversity, I will fetch them into paradise and they will be witnesses of the downfall because they shall recognize My power and glory and bear witness to it to their descendants on the new earth ….
Amen

Kingdom of light …. Jesus Christ ….
B.D. 7404 from September 5th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Anyone having entered through the gate into the kingdom of light will rejoice and be glad and eternally thankful to Me, Who had led him such to reach his goal. Anyone who is able to enter the kingdom of light is thus redeemed from sin and death, for both signify darkness, and an unredeemed soul will never be able to enter the kingdom of light …. It first must have found the only One Who is the gate into the kingdom of light: Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer. And holding on to His hand the soul will also enter this kingdom, for He will deliver it from its burden of sin, because He died on the cross on behalf of all souls which were in darkness, thus in sin and death …. He made
Amends for the burden of sin on behalf of you humans; He made the sacrifice of atonement on your behalf to clear the path for you into the kingdom of light, so that you will be able to enter into eternal beatitude. Beatitude only exists where light can be found, and light can only be found where sin and death don’t exist anymore. Sin, however, will be cancelled by Jesus Christ Himself as soon as He is asked to do so, as soon as you humans appeal to Him for forgiveness ….
Consequently, there is also salvation for the souls in the kingdom of the beyond, a change from darkness into light, because even the soul in the beyond may still call upon Him, for as soon as it calls upon Jesus Christ it will call upon Me Myself, and for the sake of Jesus Christ I will then be able to forgive its guilt of sin which had kept it separate from Me for an infinitely long time …. The sacrifice on the cross was made for all humankind, and any unredeemed soul only needs to take the path to the cross in order to be delivered from its guilt of sin. And to be delivered from sin means unity with Me and thus unlimited happiness.
But absolute truth is also part of it …. Hence a soul will not yet be able to enjoy supreme blissfulness as long as it is still far removed from the truth, for the truth and I are one, otherwise one could not speak of light. Light is realisation, the correct knowledge of everything, and as long as a soul is still ignorant in the kingdom of the beyond it is not yet in the kingdom of light, for as soon as it is permeated by light it will also instantly experience profound realisation.
If a soul therefore refuses to accept the truth when it is offered the same, then its state of bliss will still be imperfect too, in that case it will not have recognised Jesus Christ properly as yet, and the whole redemption will not yet have taken place which, however, would have been the result of a heartfelt appeal to Jesus Christ …. And for this reason countless souls still exist in twilight, they are not wretched but they cannot be called blessed for a long time yet. Their attitude towards Jesus Christ is not how it should be to enable Him to open the gate into the kingdom of light for them, and these souls will still need many instructions as well as intercession in order to gain the right kind of understanding for it.
As long as they are unable to let go of wrong ideas, of all kinds of misguided teachings, they cannot expect to become completely permeated by light either; but their own will shall decide the state they are in. People who consistently rejected Him on earth will also, time and again, let their will of rejection come to the fore in the beyond, when it would simply suffice to sincerely appeal to Jesus Christ for help …. For this shall certainly be granted to them as soon as their appeal in spirit and in truth reaches Him …. Then all darkness will fade away, the light will so clearly and brightly set the soul aglow that all spiritual darkness will disappear, that the soul will experience brightest realisation and never ever be able to lose this knowledge of the most profound correlations again ….
Amen

Announcement of a star ….
B.D. 7405 from September 5th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
What you are given through the spirit can be unreservedly accepted by you …. And thus you shall know that earth’s approaching end is already becoming apparent in the universe, that cosmic changes are taking place, because it is God’s will that at the conclusion of an earth period all kinds of signs shall become obvious which cannot be explained by the human being as natural phenomena, which shall prove a Creator’s power to him and which thus most clearly point to such a Creator. And these cosmic changes mostly concern the deviations of stars from their normal course, which assume different orbits, and such processes are and will remain inexplicable to people and yet cannot be denied. The closer the end is approaching the more frequently will people detect such phenomena, at first barely perceptible but with rising prominence, so that people can truly say ‘the powers of the heavens are being shaken ….’ It won’t be related to human will, it shall be entirely an expression of God’s will, and therefore all people could believe in God if only they would attentively observe such unusual phenomena. But anyone unwilling to believe cannot be more plainly convinced either that a God and Creator exists Whom all elements in nature have to obey …. However, anyone who pays attention to Him will also know what hour has struck ….
And thus a star will leave its usual orbit and move towards earth. This star takes its course independent from people’s will and poses a grave threat to them, yet its path will not be restrained, because earth must endure a tremor for the sake of humanity’s detriment as well as its benefit …. For many people will thereby lose their lives, as it was proclaimed long in advance …. And the earth will suffer an impact …. The danger to the entire planet will be inconceivable, yet this natural catastrophe will not result in total destruction but nevertheless be on such an unimaginable scale that it will already be the end for untold people. Yet those who survive will approach the final end soon afterwards …. an act of destruction brought about by human will, which certainly will be permitted by God but is not His will …. whereas the former cosmic catastrophe still had a redemptive purpose by even now giving unbelievers a final indication of a Power Which controls everything and that nothing happens by chance.
They shall still be given a means of rescue, a final means of attaining faith as not to go astray. Through this event God Himself speaks to people who disregard his gentle voice, but His loud voice often resounds painfully and thus will claim many victims, that is, many will find their death, but they nevertheless will still have the opportunity in the kingdom of the beyond to catch up with what they had neglected to do on earth. Yet many will also have the grace of surviving the final short period until the end, and then their will to believe is once again decisive, for the unbelievers will not derive any benefit from their experience …. And in the end they will only reap the fate of a new banishment, from which God in His love would like to protect people. And this is why he admonishes and warns people in advance and draws their attention to all phenomena in the last days …. and blessed is he who believes and lives his life accordingly on earth …. He will be led through all difficulties, and whatever happens to him will be beneficial for his soul and his maturing on this earth ….
Amen

Evaluating grace ….
B.D. 7406 from September 11th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
And never will you need to do without the grace of God, who are only of good will. His grace is bestowed upon you without measure …. But if you are not willing to let it take effect in you, then it will be of no use to you. And thus you can say: The will is the first thing …. even though God’s grace is available to every person at any time and without measure. But what use is it to you if your will does not allow it to take effect? God’s measure of grace is inexhaustible, and it would truly suffice to still help you achieve complete spiritualization on this earth …. But your will is always decisive, and it is free. When the human being enters this earth he is a completely weakened creature which would never be able to ascend on its own. And then God’s help steps in …. He constantly endeavours to help the human being so that his soul will progress in its development. And all this help is a means of grace, it is a gift for the totally weakened soul so that it will gain strength and enable its ascent …. But nevertheless, the human being’s will must first be willing to accept these gifts and make use of them, for he is not forced to do so, and therefore it depends on the human being’s free will whether he avails himself of the blessings which are truly available to him without measure. He can also disregard all of God’s help and do nothing for his soul, he can only pay attention to worldly life and pass by all gifts of grace without making use of them …. Then his will has failed, he has taken a wrong direction and the human being remains as weak and immature as he was at the beginning of his embodiment …. So then he has been heedless of grace, but he cannot say that the ‘grace of God’ has been withheld from him. Yet his will did not make it effective, which is the same as if he had remained without grace. God is always ready to help, thus proofs of grace of His love constantly flow to the human being. Whether they are accepted and evaluated is up to the human being, that is determined solely by his will, but not by God’s will. But not having accepted God’s grace is synonymous with complete failure on this earth, because without divine help the human being is too weak to develop upwards …. And the human being’s will is then ready to accept divine grace when he consciously turns to God, when the human being seeks God and wants to make contact with Him. Then he will also feel every help from God as a gift of grace and accept it with a grateful heart; he will also feel God’s love and now consciously strive towards Him, and his ascent development will proceed because the graces will now also be evaluated, i.e. the helping hand of God will be grasped by which the human being will now swing himself upwards and his initial weakness will fall away from him, for God’s grace gives strength to every soul which seriously struggles for perfection, which longs for God and will certainly reach its aim one day ….
Amen

Promise of God's protection in the end time ….
B.D. 7407 from September 12th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
I want to take all of you into My protection when the great adversity will befall you humans. I will visibly let all those who want to be Mine, who have already sought and found contact with Me, all those who sincerely pray to Me and call upon Me for help, and they shall experience everything without fear and worry, always in the firm certainty that I Myself am with them and will lead them through all adversity. For only this certainty will make it possible for them to speak for Me, to preach the gospel to their fellow human beings, thus to speak on My behalf, because many more people shall be won over for Me, for eternal life. In this time of adversity your tongues will be loosened, you will be impelled to speak by My spirit and you will be able to spread much blessing, for people will listen to you because they are in great distress and hope for some kind of help. This can hardly be brought to them from the human side, rather, fellow human beings will still contribute towards increasing the hardship who seek to enrich themselves without any scruples and know no inhibitions out of their conscience. But I can help My own, and I will help them so that they can also get through this difficult time and help those around them themselves. I only require strong faith from you, and therefore I already prepare you for this time by letting you get into hardship which will be remedied again and again, and this so obviously that you have to believe in a father in heaven Who loves you and is also ready to help at any time. Your faith shall be strengthened …. Don’t forget that this is an aim for the sake of which you will repeatedly fall into adversity …. But again and again you will be led out because I want to show you that a father in heaven knows about all your worries and can and will remedy them in due time …. You all do not know what lies ahead of you …. But I know, and I do not want to lose you as My children …. I want you to hold on to Me ever more firmly and finally be so intimately united with Me that you no longer start anything without Me, that you constantly feel Me beside you and in this presence of Mine are also truly protected from every danger …. For I need you as My co-workers in the last days before the end, I need you to bear witness to Me and My fatherly love, to proclaim the gospel of love and to bring people to Me who are still on the sidelines and whom I nevertheless don’t want to lose again for a long time. I need good speakers to whom I can put My word into their mouths when the time comes when it becomes necessary to proclaim Me and the approaching end. I need servants in My vineyard, messengers who spread My pure word, who will then also speak according to My will. And these need not fear, although a great adversity will pass over the earth …. they will be sustained by My fatherly love, they will always find help, whatever it may be, and whether humanly speaking there can be no help …. My power and love is great and always remembers those who want to be Mine and will also remain so for all eternity ….
Amen

Reaching the primal state …. love …. childhood of God ….
B.D. 7408 from September 13th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
All of you, as children of God, shall enter His kingdom in all its glory. You shall create and work with Him in freedom, light and power and be immeasurably happy …. You shall experience the father’s love to an inconceivable degree, you shall work in bliss according to your own will, which is also the will of God. This fate is certain for you, and it shall also become a certainty in you humans that God has undreamt-of glories in store for you …. But you first have to prepare yourselves such that you will be able to endure these glories, for for an immature spirit to be transferred into the sea of light in the spiritual kingdom, which would completely consume it, would mean the perishing of itself. Dwelling in the kingdom of light requires a certain nature of the being in order not to harm its existence. And you should already reach this state on earth which makes you able to stay in the kingdom of light. And you can also achieve it on earth if only you have the will to do so, if only you shape your being into love as long as you live on earth …. A love-filled being only returns to its original element as soon as it re-enters the kingdom of light, whereas the being embodied as a human being has not yet reached this original state but should do everything to reach it, because it also guarantees unlimited beatitudes for the being. The being had stepped out of the state of perfection in free will and must irrevocably accept that state again in which it was once blissfully happy. The human being as such does not know about the inconceivable beatitudes before, it can only be presented to him and he can be encouraged to strive for that state again in order to also be able to be blissfully happy indefinitely when he has to relinquish his earthly life and enter the spiritual kingdom again. But the blissful state cannot be proven to him because he has to strive for it voluntarily and every proven glory in the future life would be a compulsion for him to lead his life accordingly, which, however, would be completely worthless for the soul. This is why the glories of the spiritual kingdom have to remain hidden from people, they can only be mentioned, and it depends on the human being’s faith alone whether he lives his earthly life accordingly and one day enters the kingdom of light as a perfected soul, into eternal beatitude. Only a life of love can bring about this perfection, nothing else can bring maturity to the soul but love alone …. If people would consider that there is no substitute for a life of love …. that the soul’s perfection is only dependent on a life of love and that there are no other possibilities to give the soul maturity than love alone …. People think too little of this, and therefore they also mostly lag behind in their development, and the time of their earthly existence passes without having brought the soul any success. It arrives in the kingdom of the beyond in a state where the light would completely consume it, where it can only dwell in darkness or light twilight and the entrance into the kingdom of light is denied to it. For its nature did not change to love on earth, it was too weak itself and did not take refuge in the one Who would have strengthened its will, Who would have helped it to achieve the final perfection …. Love, however, is strength, and anyone who lives in love is already intimately united with Jesus Christ and draws strength from Him …. A life of love cannot be replaced but will always presuppose the bond with Jesus Christ, consciously or unconsciously, in order to safely lead to the final realization …. For love is God, love has united itself with Jesus Christ, love is union with Him Who is love Himself …. And love must also irrevocably lead to Him again and ensure God’s approach in the kingdom of light …. Love must unite the soul with God and thus lead the child to the father’s heart …. the soul must be and remain blissfully happy in and with God forever ….
Amen

Divine love doctrine …. humanly issued commandments ….
B.D. 7409 from September 14th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Little is required of you during earthly life, for I am fully satisfied with your love for Me and your neighbour. I only gave you these two commandments when I lived on earth, and I only make these two demands of you today because you will fulfil everything if you only fulfil these two commandments: To love Me above all else and to love your neighbour as yourself …. This commandment is therefore the most important of all commandments which human will has added and therefore makes demands on you which you exceedingly eagerly strive to fulfil. But these humanly issued commandments will not earn you maturity of soul if love is disregarded, if My commandments of love are put aside and thus their fulfilment is questioned. Then you can still do as eagerly as people demand of you …. you will not accomplish the change of nature which is the purpose and aim of your earthly life and which is the only demand I make of you. And you should pay attention to My voice, you should not fail to accept the teaching of love which I preached on earth as the man Jesus and to which I repeatedly point through My word …. Love is the highest …. You should kindle love within yourselves, for only love will unite you with Me, only love will make you perfect, and only through love will you attain beatitude. And if you humans would only ever pay attention to your thoughts, words and actions and always let love prevail, you would very soon realize yourselves that there is nothing more blissful than to practice love for your neighbour and thereby also prove your love for Me. But if you disregard love then you can exhaust yourselves in other deeds and words …. they are worthless for the soul because they are worthless before Me, Who never gave you such commandments which demand anything but love from you. But you humans pay too much attention to ‘human’ demands, and you pay no attention to the demands of your God and father …. You eagerly comply with these requirements, you allow yourselves to be satisfied with forms and customs and don’t give an account to yourselves as to what I might have intended by fulfilling such commandments which were issued by people and are supposed to be sanctioned by Me …. Consider how My love, wisdom and power can be harmonized with what you regard as important commandments and eagerly comply with them. You have a completely wrong idea of My nature, you make things up for yourselves which truly have no spiritual or meaningful justification, but you believe that I am behind it and demand that you fulfil such humanly decreed commandments …. I only want love from you, and you only prove it to Me through unselfish neighbourly love. What you do for your neighbour in true brotherly love I look upon with favourable eyes, and this will be credited to you one day in My kingdom, which you can only enter if you have shaped yourselves into love, as is your task in earthly life …. And you completely fulfil My desire if only you practice this love, for then you will take on your original nature again, which was love, and you will fulfil your purpose of earthly life: through love you will unite with Me again, from Whom you once originated in highest perfection ….
Amen

Will and grace ….
B.D. 7410 from September 17th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Only what you desire can be administered to you from Me …. For even if I constantly send you My gifts of grace …. they only become effective when you desire them. Therefore you determine the measure of grace you receive yourselves, although I do not limit My influx of grace. And thus you all stand in the midst of an abundance of grace, for My love for you is exceedingly great and constantly wants to let this love flow to you as well. But it finds its limits in your willingness to accept, in your desire to be permeated by Me. But if you would make use of My greater than great love you would truly have no lack of unusual kinds of blessings and your ascent would be very easy and light-hearted, because My gifts of grace bestow everything upon you …. light and strength …. knowledge which you could also use according to your will, because you would never lack the strength to do so. For ‘graces’ are aids, and if I Myself help you to ascend then you can also firmly rely on reaching the aim. But never without My help, never without making use of the graces or exploiting them. Therefore your will has to become active first, it has to be willing to accept the blessings and to use them according to My will. But then there will be no failure on this earth, then life on this earth will never be an idle state, then the soul will mature spiritually, which will therefore, with My help, assume its original state again …. The being will change back into its divine state and thus the aim and purpose of earthly life will have been achieved …. But in order to be able to receive unmeasured graces, the human being must also believe in the one Who can distribute graces and make contact with this one …. He only has to make himself worthy of My presence through his will alone, because before he lacks the strength which first conveys My supply of grace to him. But if his will is willing to accept My blessings then it will be so abundantly provided for that he will truly achieve great spiritual progress if only he makes use of the blessings. And thus the will is first, although My supply of grace can be requested at any time, knows no limitation and leaves no-one out. No-one is forced by grace, although occasionally it can have such a striking effect on a person that it could clearly be recognized as an undeserved gift of grace …. Nevertheless, it will always affect the human being in such a way that he can just as easily reject it, thus leave it unnoticed, if his will is not willing to utilize it for what it is. Therefore no-one can say that he has remained without grace, just as it can never be claimed that a gift of grace has necessarily influenced a person …. For the same act of grace can make an impression on one person and leave another completely unaffected. The will is always the decisive factor, the human being’s will always has to first become active in order for grace to take effect in the human being. And it is only enough that the human being’s will turns towards Me, that he seeks contact with Me and will then truly be abundantly stimulated, because then the influx of grace will not diminish and will not be without success for the human being’s soul, who again and again has to be in grace in order not to slacken in his striving, in order to one day certainly reach the aim for the purpose of which the human being lives on earth ….
Amen

Compassionate charity ….
B.D. 7411 from September 18th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You should glow with merciful love towards your fellow human being’s need when you are approached for help and are able to provide it. You should feel their hardship like your own in order to help to the best of your ability, and you will awaken reciprocated love in your neighbour, and the flame of love will spread and draw ever wider circles, the loving person will also increase his willingness to help and the reciprocated love in his fellow human being will also constantly find new nourishment …. The flame of love will increase and thrust itself towards Me, Who am eternal love Itself …. Love for Me can only be demonstrated through unselfish neighbourly love, for to love Me as the most perfect being in infinity is not difficult …. but to love one’s fellow human being with all his weaknesses and shortcomings is only proof that the human being has a compassionate, loving heart and that he would like to express the love slumbering within him to this weak, helpless neighbour who comes to him in his adversity. This love is therefore mercy and truly born in the human heart …. and it proves love for Me, for loving a flawed being only confirms love for the perfect being, Who is the creator of everything that surrounds the human being, thus also of the neighbour, who therefore has to claim true brotherly love according to God’s will …. Neighbourly love can also never be feigned, for the human being either shows love to his neighbour or leaves him in his adversity. But he will never alleviate his adversity if he is not forced to do so by other material advantages which then, however, no longer fall within the area of neighbourly love as it is demanded of you humans by Me …. Providing help for the sake of earthly advantage is equal to an omission in My eyes, for only unselfishness is true neighbourly love, as I demand it through My commandment. What is done out of calculation does not fall under the fulfilment of this commandment but is a dead work which does not receive My attention. But you humans cannot deceive Me, for I see into your hearts …. And therefore I demand merciful love …. a feeling of merciful love which applies to your neighbour in need …. This alone I will regard and value as a proof of your love for Me, your God and father, Who pursues you with His never-ending love and wants to draw you to Himself in merciful love …. And a measure has been given to you as to what love you should give to your neighbour …. You shall love him as yourselves …. The same you claim for yourselves you should also give to him, i.e. you should help him to the best of your ability and always remember that it would also be good for you if you received the same help from your fellow human being …. You should never think that you have no obligation towards your neighbour, for I have imposed this obligation on you through My commandment, through the addition “as for yourselves ….” I grant you humans a measure of self-love, and accordingly you should love your neighbour “as yourselves ….” And this addition obliges you to always remember your neighbour, just as you also predominantly remember yourselves and this is not denied to you. But as soon as you also take care of your neighbour, your self-love is also justified, and it will also soon no longer exceed the right measure …. For you will increase in merciful neighbourly love and thus also demonstrate ever deeper love for Me …. you will fulfil My commandments and truly become blessed as a result ….
Amen

Transmitted light ….
B.D. 7412 from September 19th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You will feel the light as a blessing if it can illuminate you in earthly life, for your state during embodiment as a human being is darkness …. You are in complete ignorance of things concerning the spiritual kingdom, a state of lack of knowledge is your lot, and thus you move in spiritual darkness until a ray of light from above strikes you and illuminates your thinking. And this ray of light is beneficial, which is felt more by the soul than by the body. For it impels the soul to pay attention to and desire ever more of the light, and then it will become ever brighter within it and the spiritual darkness will depart. A state of ignorance is not very happy because then only worldly thinking fills the human being which, however, only has transient goods as its aim …. But if this state changes into a state of knowledge then the human being’s thinking will be turned towards another area, and this thinking will always fill him more the brighter it becomes in him …. But light can only radiate from the source of light, which is God Himself, the eternal light. And what comes from God must also be beneficial, after all, it is a phase of the original state which the human being is to attain again. The light was lost to the being when it turned away from God …. It became darkened in spirit and no longer recognized anything of what it had been able to see through in the fullest light before its apostasy from God …. It gave away the light and became a dark and therefore also unhappy being. Earth time shall now bring the light back to it again if the human being himself does his part, that is, if he opens himself to the ray of light of love which will touch him again and again in earthly life but which requires an open heart in order to become effective in the human being’s soul. But then it will illuminate him, for the ray of love-light is of immense strength …. It chases away all darkness, it penetrates into the furthest corner and lets light become which illuminates everything …. he gives the human being knowledge, he becomes knowledgeable and penetrates all spiritual areas which were previously closed to him. And this realization makes him happy, for he now recognizes the meaning and purpose of earthly life, the meaning and purpose of creation, he knows his original state, he knows what he had been, what he is and what he shall become again and that the short earthly life was given to him for this purpose …. And therefore the human being on earth should first strive to become light in him. He should have the desire within himself to receive information about the purpose of life, he should desire the truth …. For then he will desire light. And as soon as he desires light it will also shine for him and he will soon be bright of spirit, his thinking will be guided correctly and his thinking will make him happy and satisfy him because he feels that he is filled with truth and that a cover has fallen off him which previously encumbered him, under which he felt uncomfortable and which he considers a grace to lose, a gift from God which he did not deserve. To stand in the light of truth is also an undeserved gift of grace from God, but the human being can acquire it himself if only he sincerely desires it, if the state of ignorance is not enough for him and he would like to exchange it for a state of knowledge of truth. Then a light will certainly be poured into his heart and this light will spread and brightly illuminate everything. For God does not want darkness, He wants to spread light so that His living creations will become blissfully happy, for only those who walk in the light take their pilgrimage on earth seriously, they strive towards the eternal light, and they will certainly reach their aim because the eternal light illuminates the path they have to take …. because the spirit of God, Who Himself is the Light from eternity, now guides them ….
Amen

Stage of self-awareness ….
B.D. 7413 from September 21st 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You humans are conscious of your Self …. And this is the indication that you are intelligent beings, i.e., that you are able to think and are therefore beings who came forth from God, created in His image and therefore also aware of yourselves. But from this time until your present life on earth you spent an infinitely long time deprived of your self-awareness, a time, when you indeed also animated the works of creations as something spiritually tangible but this spiritual substance was not conscious of itself because it only ever passed through these works of creation as a small component of a once self-aware being. Only after all the small parts had come together again the being embodied itself as a human being and then also entered the stage of self-awareness once again, in which it now has to accomplish a task.
Hence, as a human being it carries a certain amount of responsibility for its development because it is intellectually capable of recognising the pros and cons of everyday life, thus it is able to assess the effects of its conduct on the human being’s real Self …. the soul. As long as the being was not aware of itself during the preliminary stages it did not have to shoulder responsibility either, and it was subject to the law of compulsion …. it implemented what God’s will had assigned it to do. It behaved according to instinct, i.e. it was guided by spiritual intelligences which influenced the spiritual substance within the works of creation such that it performed the activity it was destined to do.
This, however, is different in the stage of a human being when it has self-determination, when it thinks and acts, when, as a self-aware being, it has complete freedom of thought, will and action …. And now it should consciously think, want and behave in accordance with God’s will, it is no longer determined by God’s will but its own will should decide and always in view of self-awareness, for the human being perceives himself as the determining factor, he is aware of himself …. He is no longer subject to unknown influence but chooses the direction of his will according to his own liking, and he also knows that he will have to be answerable to how he directs it.
This differentiates the human being from the animal, which is already far advanced in its development but which, until its final incarnation as a human being, will always remain a being that is subject to the law of compulsion and incapable of self-determination, irrespective of how intelligent it appears to be. It has not yet regained its self-awareness and therefore not reached the final stage of embodiment either. But it will reach the final stage, for every soul will sooner or later accept its path of earthly life when it embodies itself as a human being and is conscious of its ego.
But the fact that the human being is a self-aware being should also make him conclude that his Creator and Designer, his God of eternity, cannot be an intangible spirit but that He, as the supremely perfect Being, is equally intelligent and has free will otherwise living creations which demonstrate such evidence of divinity could not have emerged from Him. For from the human being …. the created …. it is also possible to infer to God, the Creator. The highest Being has to be self-aware too, just like the human being is self-aware, only to the highest perfection, because the human being is still undeniably an imperfect being. But, despite his imperfection, he has self-awareness and only this renders the human being a divine being, which was created in His image and shall become as perfect again as it once was when it had come forth from God.
‘Consciousness of Self’ is the greatest miracle of the work of creation ‘Man’ …. People should consider the fact that they would live an empty life without this self-awareness, which gives every person his personal hallmark in the first place: to recognise himself as an intelligent being and to be able to make his own free decisions, because the human being is able to think about himself and integrate into the framework of creation in awareness of his ego …. in awareness of determining for himself what his ‘ego’ wants …. Self-awareness is an obvious mark of Divinity, for it is a sign of belonging to a kindred Being Which brought him into being …. even if the being as a person is a mere distortion of what God once created …. but he received his self-awareness and therefore is also able to shape himself again into the original being he was in the beginning. In the stage as a human being …. in the stage of self-awareness …. the being is able to achieve whatever it wants, even if God now and then restricts its opportunity of implementation, but it is capable of planning and thinking, always being its own starting point, always experiencing itself in the centre of all happening because it knows it exists and will not lose this consciousness again either. For this reason, however, it will also be held to account one day in regards to how it dealt in earthly life with the great blessing of knowing that it is a self-aware being which was designed by a Creator in order to be able to recognise itself and to voluntarily establish the right kind of relationship with its Creator ….
The faculty of thought belongs to self-awareness and only this can yield the right kind of fruit, but free will always has to be active too, which equally belongs to a divine living creation …. And this free will has to utilise all divine gifts properly, then the being will take the right path during its earthly life as a human being which will, without fail, lead to a retransformation and it will return into its Father’s house in all perfection, just as it once had come forth from there ….
Amen

Devotion of the child to the father ….
B.D. 7414 from September 23rd 1959, taken from Book No. 78
If you adhere to Me like children, no harm can ever come to you, for My fatherly love watches over those who want to be My children. I only require your trusting remembrance, a devotion which only a child can muster who loves its father and also knows itself to be loved by Him. This child no longer knows any distance from Me, it comes very close to Me with its love, it firmly nestles against Me and is therefore also safely sheltered in My arms …. It feels this security and now knows neither fear nor worry, for it knows that I take care of the child, that it can hand itself over to Me in complete trust, that I satisfy all its needs and protect it against all attacks which the enemy repeatedly undertakes against My own. But he cannot reach them if they take refuge in Me in their adversity. And if a person can muster this trust in Me then he can truly travel his earthly path easily and safely, he will not have too many worries, he will always know Me by his side and also always turn his thoughts towards Me, which is always the best protection against enemy attacks, for the will which applies to Me gives Me the right to protect him from the enemy. But this requires a childlike trust, a devotion like that of a child which knows no inhibitions and is devoted to Me with all its soul. And again and again I can only say that a person full of love will always accomplish this devotion to Me, for love urges him towards Me, towards My heart, and love tears down all barriers which are still erected between the human being and Me, for where love exists I Myself come to meet the human being and draw him towards Me in return for love …. because love urges love. Become like the children …. The saying was not given to people in vain, for a right child relationship always testifies to love, and I am accessible to a person’s love at all times, a person’s love will always have power over Me, i.e., a loving child compels Me to reciprocate its love, and reciprocated love is equal to the fulfilment of every wish and request …. This is why a person who is filled with love will never make a wrong request, for his prayer is already fulfilled before he has voiced it, because I can never deny Myself love and give Myself away in excess. And therefore an intercession made with love is also extraordinarily effective …. Where love intercedes for a fellow human being there will truly be fulfilment, for right love also guarantees right prayer, right love knows what it can ask for and will therefore never make a wrong request. Love drives the child to the father, and the child is accepted full of love, for I only desire My children’s love which makes Me Myself happy and also allows Me to give unlimited gifts, which is a blessing for My children …. And the right union with Me can only be found in this devoted love, where the child pushes towards the father of its own free will and the father draws it to His heart in order to make it eternally blissful ….
Amen

Earthly knowledge is worthless in the beyond …. Wisdom ….
B.D. 7415 from September 24th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Of what use is your earthly knowledge to you humans if your soul enters the kingdom of the beyond in an immature state? …. It will not know what to do with it because its thoughts will become confused, and neither will it be able to exploit it since no-one will want its mental knowledge because there is no possible use for it in the spiritual realm. Besides, the soul will also lose this knowledge the longer it remains in the kingdom of the beyond in an immature state of soul. Everything is transient, even earthly knowledge, and the soul will only keep the spiritual wealth it takes along, which it gained through a life of love and which is therefore also everlasting and represents the soul’s entire riches. And with this wealth it will be able to work, that is, it will be able to pass the spiritual knowledge it owns on to those who are uninformed. And even the souls which possessed a wealth of worldly knowledge on earth but cannot use it in the beyond because no-one requires it will have to accept this spiritual knowledge …. And this is why souls whose knowledge on earth had been superior to many people will wander about over there totally poverty-stricken, and others will be far above them but they will also lovingly consider all uninformed souls, because this is the task of those who are illuminated by the light of realisation and are able to let their light shine into the darkness. But this light can only be gained through a life of unselfish neighbourly love, this is why a person’s way of life is the decisive factor and not his keen intellect and his memory. And only if love is the source of a person’s knowledge can it correspond to the truth, if it was born in a heart of love and therefore also has great illuminating strength. Love and wisdom are inseparable, and one emerges from the other ….
However, only knowledge concerning spiritual spheres can be called wisdom, for everything pertaining to the world …. hence also earthly knowledge …. is transient and cannot lay claim to the word ‘wisdom’. And thus only love will give birth to wisdom, without love no truthful knowledge can ever be gained which can be taken as everlasting into the spiritual kingdom, whereas earthly knowledge will not last long and fade away at death, unless a fully mature soul possesses this knowledge, which then can also mentally influence devout people on earth regarding earthly issues …. on account of which the human being may also appeal for correct thinking concerning earthly affairs. For then these fully matured souls will also know the truth about things which relate to earthly life and are conducive for people’s benefit. But a soul can only mature fully though love, and this is why only someone willing to love can be in possession of truth, irrespective of whether it relates to spiritual or earthly situations. A person’s way of life determines his thinking, and thus he will enter the spiritual kingdom either in an awakened or unawakened state, where he then will live in possession of spiritual goods or be completely destitute. Yet a soul can only share what it owns, and sharing alone signifies bliss in the spiritual kingdom, because then the soul will also be illuminated by the light of realisation and according to its realisation can give pleasure to other souls ….

Love is the most important thing ….
B.D. 7416 from September 26th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
And this I tell you again and again that it contributes much to your spiritual liberation when you constantly only practice love, when you make an effort to live according to My divine commandments, which always only demand love for Me and for the neighbor …. Again and again I have to speak of love because it is the most important and yet also the most neglected by you, because you are all still very indifferent, and no matter how urgently I teach and admonish you. You still think too much of yourselves and cannot free yourselves from your self-love, and as long as you are also negligent in the fulfilment of the commandment of neighbourly love, and you therefore also only make few steps forward, where you still have to cover long distances to reach your soul maturity. You well listen to it when My divine love teaching is proclaimed to you, but you do not take it as seriously as it should be taken, and therefore I must again and again hold these two important commandments before your eyes …. I must constantly point out to you the effect of the fulfillment of My commandments, so that you grasp the great importance, which is based on these two commandments of mine. The fulfillment of these commandments alone brings about the change of nature for the purpose of which you dwell on earth, or also: It is love which you lack and therefore find yourselves in an unhappy state …. Love should flare up again in you and flare up to a bright glow, then your being is again according to the original being and your state is a blessed one …. And you are indifferent to the commandments of love; you do not do much to reach your former state of bliss …. But without love your being does not change …. And you are therefore addressed by Me again and again, and the divine teaching of love is submitted to you again and again until you subject yourselves to a strict self-criticism how far self-love still dominates you. If you yourselves can stand back and sacrifice for your neighbor who is in need, then your self-love is smaller, and then your being will soon only be love, and you have reached your earthly aim …. I do not demand much from you and yet again everything, for I demand that you give yourselves up for the sake of your neighbor …. which, however, is not to mean that I demand of you to go down below the just measure of self-love …. But you should not exceed this measure, you should grant your neighbor what you demand for yourselves, and you will see how giving will make you happy, how you will soon feel your own happiness and no longer have the feeling to make a sacrifice, because you yourselves trigger joy in you and always become more willing, the more your soul matures. Then it will also feel that it only passes through here on earth in order to reach its true home, and it will only live and spiritualize itself, because love then glows through it in such a way that it knows about everything, that it stands in the brightest realization and separates itself completely from the earthly world, although it still fulfills its duty according to its physical existence. But it knows the way and goes it unswervingly, it has accomplished the transformation of being, which is the purpose and aim of its existence on earth.
Amen

Undoubting trust in God ….
B.D. 7417 from September 27th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
All your prayers will be granted to you if only you pray in the right way …. But as yet you do not know what to understand by the ‘right way of praying’; otherwise you would live a completely carefree life on earth, because you would trust Me at all times. However, you lack this firm trust in Me, hence you cannot pray properly either, you doubt and still keep asking although you need only wait for help without doubting. Time and again tiny doubts still arise in you as to whether I will actually fulfil your requests, and then your prayer is already not as it should be in order to be granted. You should always know that My love for you is infinite and that love never denies itself …. If you pray in realisation of this, then you will also know that I cannot refuse anything you pray for, because My love wants to avert all difficulties from you, My love wants to make you happy, and My power is so great that nothing is impossible for Me, even if this seems impossible to you humans. Even so, you are unable to grasp My boundless love and this causes you to doubt, which weakens your trust in the fulfilment of your requests and thereby also restricts My working …. You only ever apply the yardstick which is applicable to you humans; you also limit My love because you have no idea what it means to love without limitation and to bestow limitless love. But no boundaries exist for Me, neither for My love nor My power, and therefore nothing is impossible for Me, just as I do not curtail My will to love those of you who pray to Me from the bottom of your hearts and with complete confidence that I will help, that I will grant your prayers. It is only your trust which must yet grow stronger …. the firm conviction that I hear your appeal and will come to help you, whatever it may be …. Your trust can overcome everything, since then you will only work with Me Myself and thus you will also be able to undertake what you want …. it will always be blessed by Me …. You will clearly feel My hand after heartfelt and trusting prayer to Me …. You will be guided as it will be in your best interest, and all worries will fall away from you, so that you can walk through earthly life cheerfully and unburdened, always holding on to My hand and never letting go again because you constantly unite with Me in prayer. By simply finding this heartfelt bond with Me, you will be able to pray correctly, then you will speak to Me in the simplest way and I will hear you and not prolong the moment in order to help My child …. However, you must trust Me …. I must insist on this because every doubt prevents Me from My activity of love in you …. given that it is an eternal law that love must not meet with resistance, but that a lack of trust constitutes resistance which prevents the strength of My love from becoming fully effective …. I Am concerned for each individual person’s well-being and each individual person can speak to Me like a child speaks to its father …. Thus anyone who does that will truly be well taken care of for time and eternity, he will always and forever receive help, for as soon as the child places its trust in Me I can take effect in him according to his will. And only then will he be able to pray correctly in spirit and in truth, only then can he be certain that his prayers will be answered, for I will not deny Myself to anyone who fully and trustingly calls to Me for help ….
Amen

State of twilight in the beyond ….
B.D. 7418 from September 29th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Souls passing over into the kingdom of the beyond without having found their Redeemer will find themselves engulfed by thick fog, providing they don’t enter the kingdom of darkness due to their totally God-opposing way of life on earth. But there are people who have not become guilty of any explicit wrongdoing, whose offence generally consisted of failing to do good works, who can neither be called bad nor good and whose spirit is therefore not so dark as to be expected by profound darkness in the beyond. Nevertheless, they are not suitable for the kingdom of light either, for their souls are not yet receptive to light, their souls are still encased in thick twilight, they have absolute minimal realisation, depending on their deeds of love which a soul will be able to look back on.
And most souls called back from earth are in this kingdom of twilight …. people, who were apparently righteous in the world and yet have little faith because they lacked love on earth. And these souls are now facing a time of utter barrenness …. a time when they wander about lonely and alone with their thoughts. They are unable to recognise anything in their surroundings, they are spiritually blind and also incapable of perceiving anything but themselves, however, they have not lost their sense of identity, they also remember their past earthly life yet only rather indistinctly and occasionally …. They are in a permanent state of drifting about and searching, for they cannot find what they are looking for …. a place of peace and safety, since they failed to acquire it during their earthly life. They effectively had been parasites on earth, they had lived without having fulfilled their true purpose of life, they have only ever taken and given nothing in return …. irrespective of whether it is understood in an earthly or spiritual way …. They had not acquired any spiritual possessions for themselves but utilized their earthly life in line with their demands. They had spent their earthly life without having seriously thought about its meaning and purpose and living their life accordingly …. And this is what they will receive in the kingdom of the beyond; they won’t find anything because they didn’t acquire anything that is of lasting value in the spiritual kingdom.
Only now will it show as to whether such a person will be lovingly remembered …. For every loving thought is like a firm foundation on which the soul is now able to move with a certain sense of confidence …. Every loving thought provides the soul with a glimmer of light wherein it is able to recognise its surroundings, if only for a brief moment, but it is stimulated to reflect on it, and its state can only change through deliberation, by experiencing the blissful relief of every loving thought, by starting to regret when it realises what it had failed to do on earth. And, depending on its nature, its willingness and its resistance, the state of such a soul can change equally soon, if it is not entirely obstinately-minded, in which case its blindness can last for an extremely long time before the twilight will give way to a small ray of light …. And since only loving thoughts can provide this relief, much strength of intercession has to be bestowed upon the soul, it should not be left to its fate, which would merely infinitely prolong its lightless state, for only love will be able to change it, love, which fellow human beings will forward to such a soul and which the soul itself lacked in earthly life, but which will be accepted by God on behalf of such a soul ….
But it is possible for all you humans on earth to render much help with your love, and you should therefore constantly stay in mental contact with the souls of the departed, time and again you should tell them about the Gospel of love and that they, even in the beyond, will still have to comply with these two commandments, to love God above all else and their neighbour as themselves …. For this is the only way by which they will be able to make contact with Jesus Christ, without Whom it will be impossible for any soul to enter the kingdom of light. The souls still wandering about in the twilight have not yet made any contact with Jesus Christ, they have not yet found salvation, which was the reason for their life on earth, but they absolutely have to attain it in the beyond if they don’t want to descend into the abyss …. Souls wandering about in twilight have not yet been pushed into the abyss, they still have a slight opportunity to find their path into the kingdom of light, for after a long time of barrenness beings of light …. which, however, do not identify themselves as such …. will repeatedly direct them towards the right path leading to Jesus Christ.
And in order that they follow the beings of light, in order that they surrender their opposition, they will require much intercession which you should not deny to the souls. They will be eternally grateful to you if your love prevents their fall into the abyss, if you help them to find their way out of the twilight into the kingdom of light, for your loving intercession will prevent their regression, their souls will become softer and more yielding, and they will find Salvation through Jesus Christ, Who forgives everyone if only he remembers Him and calls upon Him ….
Amen

Wide space in the afterlife ….
B.D. 7419 from September 30th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
The endless vast spaces in which the soul wanders, which immaturely enters the kingdom of the beyond, are without object …. You must understand that it cannot see anything spiritual itself, earthly things no longer exist and its own image of desire is completely blurred and confused due to its lack of maturity of soul, thus it cannot form its own surroundings out of its thoughts either, for it has no clear image of thought, just as its state of soul is empty …. especially if, despite its old age, it did not learn to overcome the world before its departure from earth. But being completely devoid of faith results in the soul no longer being moved by anything and therefore its state in the beyond corresponds to a completely empty space, in that it now wanders incessantly, always hoping to meet someone the soul is looking for …. This is an agonizing state which should result in a certain desire being awakened in the soul …. the desire for a like-minded soul with whom it could exchange information about this state. And when this desire grows and becomes too strong then a being usually steps into its path which appears to be completely adapted to its state but which is a soul of light which approaches the soul in disguise in order to influence it to change its thinking. For as soon as a soul is worn out due to its long wanderings it is grateful for every stimulation offered to it by the beings of light through many suggestions which the soul has to accept in order to slowly change its state. But sometimes it is also difficult to win the soul over for a suggestion if it is so hardened that it does not strive for any change, that it remains stubborn in its thinking and yet holds a higher being responsible for its agonizing state. For no unbelieving human being is without a spark of God’s realization, and he will always accuse this God-being and blame Him for his wretched state …. which is why it can also take endless times until such a soul is soft and compliant and complies with the suggestion of a being of light which comes to it in the same disguise. But then the state also changes noticeably and the twilight becomes increasingly lighter and clearer, even if one cannot yet speak of a circle of light into which the soul enters, but it begins to behold objects here and there, the emptiness of space is interrupted, and the soul takes in various impressions and demands activity which is now also assigned to it on the part of the being of light. Every soul which wanders about in such vast empty spaces is joined by beings of light in certain periods of time which want to help it, but not every being of light is listened to. And therefore it can take eternal times until such a soul finds redemption, until it has become so compliant that it accepts the proclaimed gospel of love and becomes active accordingly …. Yet without love it can never receive redemption …. And this is why a person’s intercession is of such great importance, for it achieves that a soul’s will of resistance is broken, that it willingly accepts all instructions and teachings from the beings of light and in a relatively short time emerges from the empty space into beautiful inhabited areas where it continues to work inexorably on its spiritual progress. For the light beings’ greatest endeavour is to lead the souls to Jesus Christ, without Whom no soul will find salvation from its wretched state. And where a person’s intercession supports this effort of the beings of light the soul can find Jesus Christ more easily, for it senses the human being’s love which awakens reciprocal love in the being …. And love joins together with love again, a loving soul recognizes Jesus Christ as God and redeemer of the world, and it will surrender itself to Him without any resistance …. And then the soul is saved for time and eternity ….
Amen

Life's fate is always good for maturing the soul ….
B.D. 7420 from October 2nd 1959, taken from Book No. 78
In all events you should see the wise guidance of your father in heaven and always know that nothing happens arbitrarily …. Everything in your life is arranged in such a way that it serves the soul for the best, provided your will is in accordance with divine will …. Then your soul has to mature, then it has to reach the aim it has been set for earthly life: spiritualization and union with God, as it was in the beginning. The plan of salvation is fixed for every soul, every person is guided such that he can only ever do what is right but does not necessarily have to do what is right, because he has free will which is to prove itself in earthly life. But nevertheless, the human being’s fate is not a reason for him to fail spiritually, his will alone is to blame. For everything that is destined for the human being is suitable to lead the soul to highest maturity of soul with a correctly used will. And all events approach the human being in such a way that the soul can fully prove itself, that it can derive the greatest possible success from them. For the more difficult a person’s earthly life often is, the more opportunities are offered to him to help the soul mature, whereas easier earthly lives can often make him lukewarm and lethargic and the soul will not derive any benefits for itself if it is not particularly eager, but then it will always mature in a short time. In the last days many people’s lifespan is limited according to God’s wise counsel but always for the benefit of the soul, which either threatens to fail or is too lethargic in its soul’s work. But then life’s fate is often unusually difficult and thus offers the soul double opportunities to mature. And a soul should never believe that it is made particularly difficult for it to mature spiritually. Physical life can certainly be more difficult for one person than for another, but every soul will be able to mature spiritually if only it has the will to do so. Rather, every person should be grateful when he is touched hard by life, for his soul can grow stronger and soon become master of the world, master of earthly desire, which is far more difficult for it when the person can fulfil everything he wants on earth …. when he is richly endowed by fate and has little to fight for his earthly existence. One day you will experience the blessing of a difficult fate in life when you realize that you have become overcomers of earthly matter, that earthly life is no longer a shackle for you, when you have learned to desire other treasures than just earthly goods. Then a difficult fate of life will no longer oppress you, you will cope with it more easily, and you will have already reached the aim, as it were …. the mastery of matter, which is the soul’s fetter as long as the human being desires it. And the human being learns to overcome matter far sooner whom earthly life burdens more heavily, but it is for the salvation of his soul, and the human being should be grateful for it but not grumble about his difficult fate in life which God’s love and wisdom chose for him in order to help his soul achieve freedom ….

Revelation 16, 18 …. Star ….
B.D. 7421 from October 3rd 1959, taken from Book No. 78
A violent quake will shake the earth …. spiritually as well as physically the earth will be faced by a tremor the likes of which will never before have been experienced by people since the start of this epoch …. But this is predicted because it is the beginning of the end that will follow not long afterwards. There is not much time left and your attention will ever more urgently be drawn to it, because you should still make use of every day by helping your soul to mature, for time flies and you are approaching the very end with giant strides. And then a long night for all those who did not take advantage of the day in order to work for the salvation of the soul will follow. For only a few will survive this last end and be allowed to occupy the new earth, only a few will stand firm in the last battle on this earth. The signs of the end will be presented to you humans time and again, and the last powerful sign will be the great quake ….. You have already been told how it will come about: a star will leave its orbit and with gigantic speed head for the earth …. And the fact that you are still uninformed of it is due to the great distance this star will still have to cover before it comes into the field of view of those who will detect it. But then the anxiety will be great, for everyone will realise the danger in which the planet ‘earth’ is in but no-one will be able to do anything in order to ward off the danger …. And now that you know of it you should make especially good use of this last brief period of time, for none of you know whether you will survive the event, none of you know which part of the earth will be particularly affected and no-one should count on being spared, for it is God’s last great wake-up call before the end which He will resound in order to find belief in this very end and still convert a few who are not yet entirely enslaved by the adversary.
Do not consider these predictions lightly, do not let yourselves be misled by the apparent work of progress which you can observe in the world, but understand that the shadows of destruction are already emerging, that not much time will elapse until you receive knowledge of the approaching disaster in the form of a star which will be hurled from its orbit, because it is God’s will that the earth shall be stricken by a tremor which shall and will be able to save people who are of good will. There will really not be a lack of signs of the near end, but this last sign will have enormous consequences and many people will lose their lives in the process …. And no-one will be able to turn a deaf ear, for it will be too powerful as not to affect all people. Only the results will differ, for people will either partly revive their weak faith and hand themselves over to God again, but partly even lose their weak faith as well and completely turn to the adversary, which will be expressed by an increased pursuit of material possessions, mostly by dishonest means. And there will be great hardship amongst people …. And that is when the right strength of faith will prove itself, which will signify help for every person who faithfully entrusts himself to God. For He will help all those who want to be His Own, who even in their greatest affliction remember the One Who alone will be able to help them. And this will be the start of the time when real vineyard work must still be carried out in order to help all those who are still weak in spirit and who shall experience a strengthening of their faith. For it will be followed by the time of the last battle of faith which will still require a final decision by the believers, yet anyone who perseveres until the end will become blessed ….

Just retribution in the beyond ….
B.D. 7422 from October 4th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You have a certain amount of freedom, you can think and act and speak according to your will, you can live your earthly life as you like …. even if your activity is occasionally prevented, if the implementation of your will is restricted through My will. However, you are nevertheless free beings who can shape their lives as they wish …. in contrast to the beings which are still bound within the works of creation and must live according to My law of eternity, according to My will …. And it is this freedom of will which makes you responsible in earthly life, for it can be inclined towards My will but also be opposed to it, your will can strive towards something that entirely contradicts My eternal order, and therefore you are accountable to Me for your will or action. For this short life on earth is a gift of grace for you humans …. You once expressed your contradictory will and thus your apostasy from Me, so now you are offered the opportunity again to prove your will for Me. You were not permanently condemned because of your apostasy but were given the opportunity to return to Me and to look for unification with Me. And for this you are given earthly life, which you therefore should use to the best of your ability for the very purpose of finally returning to Me. Earthly life is therefore an immeasurably valuable gift of grace which you should not live carelessly without bearing the actual purpose in mind. For one day you will be held to account for it, and your fate in eternity depends on your conduct during your earthly life. One day you will bitterly regret an unused earthly life, since one day the hour will come when you will realise the significance of earthly life and how you utilised it, and this hour can give rise to the bitterest remorse in you. But death does not end the life of the soul, it is just that the soul cannot often speak of a state of ‘life’; instead, it finds itself in a state of helplessness and darkness without losing awareness of its existence. And then it will sorely feel its lack of strength and light, it will often be close to despair and yet never die again, so that sooner or later it will have to consider changing its state, and then it will listen to the beings which want to help with this.
Nevertheless, it is extremely difficult to achieve in the beyond what easily could have been achieved during its earthly life …. As on earth it must fulfil the commandments of love …. And it will indeed have the opportunity to do so because much hardship exists in the spiritual kingdom; it will meet souls which are shaped like itself and then it will have to kindle its love for these wretched beings if it wants to improve its own state a little …. But particularly souls like this only ever think of themselves, and therefore its ascent in the kingdom of the beyond is very difficult and questionable, for without love there is no ascent, no improvement and no spiritual progress …. Yet every individual soul can only be considered within the scope of justice; it must travel the same path it should have taken on earth …. the path of love and of suffering …. until it is sufficiently purged that it can receive the rays of light and be affected by their strength. Even in the beyond it cannot be forcibly led to the right path, but it will always have enough opportunities where its will can prove itself, and again it must …. like on earth …. use its will in the right direction. Then it will mature and attain a degree of light which ends its wretched state and subsequently helps it go increasingly more upwards …. towards greater reception of light and more happiness. A soul can also ascend in the beyond but it must always strive for it of its own free will …. it must always, like on earth, practise love and through love finally find Jesus Christ, Who is the first and last goal even in the kingdom of the beyond, for no-one can become blissfully happy without Jesus Christ and His Salvation ….
Amen

Only God is Lord of creation …. Star ….
B.D. 7423 from October 5th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Since eternity celestial bodies have circled the universe on paths specified by the divine Creator and which will also be upheld in the plan of creation according to His will. And it is an impossible beginning wanting to alter the specified course of a celestial body, to divert a star from its course trying to guide it onto a different one than was destined by the divine Creator. And it is equally impossible to stop the course of a star, to limit the duration of its course, thus to prevent it in some form or other from travelling its path …. This has to be said to all those who believe that they, with their own inventions, will be able to establish a different order in God’s work of creation …. who believe that they will be able to fit human products into the divine work of creation, who assume that such experiments can be sent into the universe without harmful consequences ….
I Am still the Lord of the cosmos …. and I will also reply appropriately to every intention of infiltrating My work. Another attempt will be made, and more will follow as long as people are not stopped …. And I will allow it to happen, but I will answer when the time is right. For not much damage can be done anymore by people’s advance into space …. because time has run out which humanity may still reckon with. And all the experiences they still want to gain will no longer be of any use for I will put a stop to it Myself ….
But I will respond in the same way, for this reply will also come from space which they try to enter, and all their inventions will be unable to repel or redirect the star which will put them into extreme danger themselves. And thus it is up to Me as to how long I will tolerate humanity’s activity, but I will only tolerate it up to a point, I cannot profess to approve of experiments which have no spiritual purpose and only boost people’s belief even more to be or to become master of the universe.
But the end is nigh, and during these last days people will still try many things which only demonstrate their godlessness, their spiritual arrogance and their spiritual poverty. Various experiments will still be conducted which will contribute considerably towards the disintegration of the earth, the final work of destruction and thus the end of one period of salvation which has to make way for a new one, if My living creations are not to be completely lost.
But you humans, who voluntarily belong to Me, don’t allow yourselves to be impressed by it all no matter what happens …. Always remember that the Creator of heaven and earth will not let Himself be displaced and that He will clearly show His might without people being able to prevent Him from doing so …. I watch and wait …. until the day has come which has been predetermined since eternity …. For the time is limited in which My adversary uses people such …. because they belong to him …. that they will do everything he wants …. but which they will nevertheless not succeed in achieving ….
Amen

Knowledge of Jesus Christ and His work of redemption ….
B.D. 7424 from October 8th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Not one of you humans passes through earthly life without once having been pointed to Jesus Christ, for the commandment of love is unknown to no-one, irrespective of which religion the person belongs to. And as soon as he is only taught love he will be shown the path to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer. For living love will irrevocably also signify the light of realization, living in love will earn the human being wisdom, and the thoughts of the one who lives a life of love will always be guided correctly. And then the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation will be conveyed to him, it will not be alien to him, he will accept it without inner resistance because through his life of love he has learnt to think correctly and can also muster understanding for everything. And therefore it solely depends on the human being’s attitude towards the divine commandments of love to what extent he pays attention to the references to Jesus Christ, to what extent he feels addressed by Him. But he has been pointed to Him and will one day have to answer for the extent to which he has paid attention to these indications. And even the direct indications will only find resonance when the human being lives in love, because without love he is blind in spirit and thus without any understanding for the act of salvation as well as for the divine redeemer. But love can be taught without knowledge about Jesus Christ, and the human being can then gain the latter if he accepts the divine teaching of love and lives accordingly …. And thus all people first have to fulfil the commandments of love before they are willing to believe in the one Who is love Himself, Who allowed Himself to be crucified for love of humanity and therefore embodied Himself in the man Jesus so that this act of mercy could visibly take place for people. And Who therefore allowed Himself to be crucified for love of humanity also truly has the opportunity to inform all people of His act of mercy, and He will do so as soon as a love-filled human being makes himself available to Him as a receptacle for His spirit, who will then also receive complete clarification about Jesus Christ and His act of love. Therefore only a right life of love is necessary in order to also kindle a right light and to be able to spread brightness amongst all who are likewise willing to love and want to stand in the light of realization. But people have to have this will for the time being, otherwise they will remain in spiritual darkness until they desire a light themselves …. Yet the light will shine for every person one day, and it is only up to him whether he allows it to shine into his heart or turns away unwillingly …. But grace will not pass him by, every human being will experience a pointer to Jesus Christ in his earthly life, and one day everyone will have to answer for how he responded to it …. how he reacted to the message of love which called upon him to live a life of love …. And his spiritual knowledge will be correspondingly, light or darkness will be granted to him accordingly in earthly life and also one day in eternity ….

About the Last Judgment and the new earth ….
B.D. 7425 from October 9th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You cannot truly imagine in what way the Last Judgment will proceed; suffice it to know, that it is only a short action where everything will fall prey to its huge power of destruction, and that you will then have no more time to change your thoughts and intentions, because everything will happen rapidly and leave you no time to think …. You will be judged at a moment’s notice, i.e. whether you will enter into life or death within a very short time …. Those of you who remain loyal to Me until the end will be carried away, the others will be devoured by the earth, which denotes their souls’ new banishment into hard matter. Only people who still have a small glimmer of faith in God will have the strength to call upon Me in the last moment and still be saved by being spared the fate of a new banishment, albeit they will not belong to the flock of the raptured. Nevertheless, their share will be an easier fate, since they will be granted another embodiment as human being in which they should and will be able to prove themselves because the time on the new earth will be free from the adversary’s temptations, who will be constrained for a long time, as it is written ….
And that is an exceptional act of grace which, however, will only be taken up by a few, for humanity is completely subject to My adversary at the end, and a person will only seldom detach himself from his restraints in view of the Last Judgment …. which will be dreadful. For all human beings face an appalling physical death, yet before they can spend much thought on it, it has already happened …. And My Own will witness this event, because I want them to get to know My might and glory, My righteousness and My wrath towards the sinners and testify to it as long as they live. For they will become the root of the human race on the new earth …. The event of the rapture is equally unimaginable because it happens in a way that defies all laws, and never before has it been experienced on earth that human beings were lifted up and taken away in their living bodies …. that I move them unharmed into a divinely beautiful region, from where they will then be brought back to the new earth, as soon as it is created in accordance with My Will.
I will not require time for this, because all spiritual substances are just waiting to be placed into works of creation which correspond to their degree of maturity in order to continue their path of development …. Human eyes do not see the act of creating the new earth, therefore it is not necessary to observe a specific duration of time for the sake of people …. And the people who are raptured lack all sense of time, so that they are unable to ascertain what time it takes to create the new earth …. Yet My might is unlimited and will reveal itself in the formation of the new earth, for this will show new creations which you humans cannot imagine but which will highly delight you, who may experience this earth …. It is truly a paradise on earth …. For My Own remained loyal to Me during the battle of faith and shall receive their reward for their loyalty …. All human beings could experience this happiness if only you would use the short time until the end well. But you do not believe and don’t do anything to improve your soul’s maturity, and therefore everyone will receive the reward he deserves …. a blissfully happy life in the paradise of the new earth or new banishment in the creations therein, so that after an infinitely long time you may once again live as a human being on earth for the purpose of a final test ….

The light descended to earth ….
B.D. 7426 from October 11th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
When I walked across the earth, embodied in the man Jesus, it was dark on it and people were spiritually blind, for they no longer recognized their God and creator, they lacked the love which would have given them light and understanding …. They walked along in dense darkness …. But there were people amongst them who were tormented by their lightless state, who still believed in a God and called upon Him for salvation from the darkness …. so they cried out to Me for help …. And to them I sent the saviour from above, I sent Him to them Who Himself was the light from eternity and Who thus brought them the light: I Myself descended to earth in the human being Jesus, because the lightbringer could only be a human being Who maintained constant contact with His fellow human beings. I Myself was in Him, for the light of love from eternity was in the human being Jesus, Who Himself was a being full of love and could only serve Me as a dwelling place because I had to remain in My kingdom even when I came to sinful people. Yet Jesus had prepared the place for Me where I could dwell …. For His whole being was love, and I came to Him and yet was in My house, for love received eternal love. I embodied Myself in the man Jesus …. You humans will not be able to comprehend this truth for a long time, that I …. the greatest spirit of infinity …. manifested Myself in a human being Who was like you, Who could only be a true dwelling place for Me in all purity, devoid of all sin, in Whom My spirit thus took abode. I did not need a cover because My spirit was and could be everywhere; but for the sake of the act of salvation I had to take a ‘human being’ as a cover for Myself, Who then accomplished the act of salvation for His fellow human beings. The cover was ‘human’, what this cover contained was ‘God’ …. I Myself was in the human being Jesus, Who was full of love and thus had completely entered My fundamental nature, Who was completely filled by My spirit of God, Whose external form was truly only the shell in which the eternal spirit of God sheltered. And this spirit was the light of eternity …. And thus the light Itself came to earth to chase away the darkness which lay spread over the people of the earth …. I brought help to the few who cried out for a saviour in their spiritual hardship, for in Jesus Christ I Myself descended to earth to bring light to My living creations and to proclaim My teaching of love to them, which alone could bring them light if they fulfilled the commandments of love. For love is light, love spreads brightness, it illuminates every angle, no matter how dark …. And a life of love must be lived if the light of knowledge is to shine for the human being, if the darkness is to depart from him and the human being is to approach God, Who Himself is the light of eternity. And thus I always take pity on the human race which lives through earthly life in spiritual darkness, and again and again I come to its aid by sending it light …. by descending to it Myself in the word. My word from above spreads the light which people lack, My word from above gives them realization, My word transforms spiritual darkness into bright light, and people will feel at ease who allow this light to affect them; they will become knowledgeable and also understand that they must turn to the light of eternity Itself if they want to have the grace to walk in light on this earth, for I will always hear every call from the abyss which desires a saviour from darkness …. I will not forgive coming to the aid of those who suffer from darkness and desire light …. I will come to people in the word at any time, as I once descended to earth Myself, for I want to help My creations to ascend from darkness to light, I want to lead them out of the night into the light ….
Amen

Spiritual nourishment at the table of the Lord ….
B.D. 7427 from October 13th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You should accept much spiritual bread, for the time of drought is yet to come, when it will be impossible for you to establish a heartfelt bond with Me for a longer length of time, when you may consider yourselves fortunate if your thoughts can stay with Me briefly, and when, during intimate composure, you will find it difficult to listen to My Words. Then these short thoughts must be enough to permeate you with strength, which I will not deny you …. However, as long as it is still possible you should use your time well and let yourselves be nourished and refreshed as often as possible. I only give you this good advice in order to strengthen you for the forthcoming time, for it will require much strength, which you can only receive with My Word. If your soul is nourished with bread and wine, it will also be resistant to all threatening challenges. I Am at all times ready to provide it with this nourishing food, I Am always ready to speak with My children and to advise them, to admonish and to warn them, for I only want what is best for My Own, and I will always guide them such that they can feed themselves at My table at all times. And you should avail yourselves of this …. You should often lend Me your ear, you should open your hearts to Me, you should open the door of your heart wide so that I can enter My house …. and you should prepare this house for Me, which can only happen if you serve each other with love, if you accept My Word and live up to it, if you therefore enjoy the nourishment and refreshment and become suitable for the work of improving your soul by living according to My will, hence, if you are not just listeners but doers of My Word. Having thus opened up a spring for you from which the water of life flows forth, you should also bend down frequently and drink from this spring, and all of you will feel noticeably strengthened, you will be able to continue your earthly pilgrimage with greater ease, the burden of life will not oppress you so much if you progress in a strong and healthy state and withdraw this strength and health from the nourishment I Myself offer to you time and again …. All of you should come to the spring and take a rest, and collect new strength again, and also distribute this nourishment to those who are in need of it and who, tired and exhausted, sink down to the spring in order to refresh themselves …. Draw the water of life for them and offer it to them, and you will be blessed for it. And attract wayfarers to the spring, invite them to take a break and strengthen themselves before they continue on their way, which will always require new strength until the pilgrimage is over …. None of you need to be weak, you can always ask for new strength, you can always fetch nourishment from My table anew and need not be afraid that I will be miserly or ever deny you food …. I Am always willing to give plenty, and you should make use of it and also demand an abundance …. You will receive it, and it will always be in your best interest. Eat and drink the bread and wine of life …. I Myself offer you the nourishment and the cup for your soul, but do not bypass it carelessly, trusting that your own strength is enough for your pilgrimage …. The path of ascent is steep and cannot be covered without an influx of strength. Always remember this and therefore take a rest wherever you find a spring which My love made accessible for you. The time will come when you will be hindered by My adversary’s deceitfulness, then you shall have enough supply, then divine strength shall permeate you by merely sending a silent thought to Me, for I will not abandon My Own, I will nourish and refresh them in a spiritual and earthly way, even if it seems impossible to you …. For My love for you and My power are boundless ….
Amen

Knowledge through study or through the spirit ….
B.D. 7428 from October 14th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
You humans often believe yourselves to be very knowledgeable and yet, you are spiritually blind. For all spiritual knowledge only comes alive when your spirit has awakened …. Prior to this it remains lifeless knowledge, acquired mental concepts which are neither better nor more valuable than earthly knowledge. And even if you try to gain by philosophical means what you cannot fathom by virtue of your intellect alone it can never be called spiritual knowledge, for it first requires the awakening of the spirit to also understand and adopt this knowledge. It is not merely a matter that the contents of the mental concept can be considered spiritual knowledge …. it is entirely a matter as to whether the person thinks this knowledge through with an ‘awakened’ spirit and makes it his own thoughts, only then will he be able to speak of ‘spiritual knowledge’ which satisfies him, only then will he also understand what previously was not completely plausible to him despite extensive mental activity. And thus two people cannot take the same paths but nevertheless have the same knowledge, but to one of them it can be fully comprehensible whereas the other only grasps the meaning of the letter and draws no spiritual benefit from his knowledge. For the value of the knowledge depends on the very path he has taken to attain this knowledge …. One person accepts it from external sources through study and diligent intellectual activity, the other receives it from the spirit which dwells in every person’s soul. And this spirit is a living part of God, consequently, whatever he gives must also be alive ….
The human being must be guided into knowledge which shines brightly and signifies a true light for someone who previously walked in darkness. This knowledge is not at the disposal of the former for he only grasped the meaning of the letter, he has only deliberated the meaning of the letter without becoming enlightened, since true light can only ever be imparted by the spirit, which need merely be awakened in order to express itself through the inner voice …. And an awakened spirit can subsequently also enlighten a fellow human being, which is impossible for someone who is still unenlightened, for he will only pass on the empty meaning of the letter which he has accepted. The human being ought to awaken the spirit within to life, only then will he be able to speak of correct knowledge, of truth and of light. And the spirit can only come alive through love, the human being has to live a life of love according to the divine commandments, then his spirit will irrevocably come alive and instruct him from within. However, as long as the process of awakening the spirit has not occurred people will agonise over questions if they are serious about the truth; or they have a measure of mental knowledge at their disposal which they keenly endorse as truth yet inwardly they cannot find the conviction to advocate the pure truth, because this inner conviction is also imparted to them by the spirit, and as long as this cannot take place a person will always be troubled by slight doubts, even if he outwardly defends his mental knowledge as truth. But once the spirit is awakened, the person will know that it is the truth, and this inner conviction will make him a diligent labourer in the vineyard of the Lord. And these alone are true servants whom the caretaker can use in His vineyard …. these are the disciples to whom He said ‘Go ye therefore, and teach all nations ….’ For only these will proclaim the Gospel of love according to God’s will, and these will be listened to by all those of good will ….
Amen

The "living" word ….
B.D. 7429 from October 16th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
The word will always remain alive if it is received from above, that is, if I am called to speak to My child, no matter where and when …. This call to Me must always precede the impartation of the living word, for I first have to know the human being’s desire to be addressed by Me before I can address him …. I Myself certainly know whether a person desires to be addressed by Me, yet he has to approach Me fully consciously because he has to let his will become active which proves his attitude towards Me. But then My living word will make him happy, i.e. I Myself will address him and he will thereby attain life. Thus every person who reads the book of the fathers, the scriptures, in his desire to hear Me Myself will be directly addressed by Me, and the word will help him to give life to his soul because he had the desire within himself to come to life and not to remain in the state of death, which is his fate if he remains completely turned away from Me with his senses. And that is the sign of life, that he becomes aware, that it becomes light in him, that he learns to understand what I want to achieve with his earthly life, and that he then consciously strives to come closer to Me in the realization that happiness and bliss can only be found with Me. And he will only reach this state of realization if he allows himself to be addressed by Me and faithfully lives his earthly life in accordance with My address …. if the child hears and complies with what the father wants of it. Then the human being no longer stands apart from Me, he has turned to his God and father again, he is no longer in the adversary’s camp, he has set himself free, for he has found everything he lacked so far …. he has also kindled love within himself and thus accomplished the transformation of his nature, as is the purpose and aim of his earthly life. My word therefore has the life-awakening strength within it which the human being needs in order to also emerge from the state of death into life …. And therefore My word must be listened to but in full awareness that God speaks to the human being …. that the father speaks to His child. At first God is still the ‘distant’ God to you, Whom it seems presumptuous to hear; but soon you will recognize your father in Him Who wants to speak to His children in love. And once you have gained this realization you are already close to the father’s heart, I can already guide and direct you as My children and you will listen to My words …. And then you will ‘live’, the ‘living word Itself’ has helped you to live, for I am the word from eternity and give Myself to those who desire Me …. who want to belong to Me and therefore also always listen to what I say to them. And no person can remain in death who lets Me speak to him, because My word has life-awakening strength. But the word must be received with the heart; it is not enough that it merely touches the ear and passes it by like an empty sound …. The heart must receive it with desire and determine the person to live according to this word on earth …. And the power of the word will become effective and give life to the one who desires life. And therefore a living proclamation of the word is also part of it …. the proclaimer himself must already have been awakened to life or he would not have received the most delicious …. Myself in the word …. to the people …. He must be awakened to life himself, and then he will also proclaim My word alive, and this word will speak to the heart again where the desire exists to hear Me. The dead proclaimers, however, will not achieve much unless the listener is seized by a profound desire for Me …. Then I Myself will also address him through that one, and he will feel life in the word and in himself, for he contacts Me Myself through his desire, and I hear this call and give Myself away …. And again dead will come to life as soon as only the ‘word of life’ touches his soul ….
Amen

Ascension requires strength …. love and prayer ….
B.D. 7430 from October 17th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
The path to ascent requires strength, and only the paths which are even or lead to the abyss can also be travelled by weak people, but these paths are not the soul’s salvation but will only ever lead to ruin, and therefore the human being who wants to take the path to ascent must request strength …. he must do everything in order to gain possession of strength, then he will also easily overcome all obstacles he has to reckon with during his ascent. But as soon as the will is there to cover the ascent he will also not lack strength. For this will also demonstrates the desire for God, and God provides everyone with strength who wants to reach Him. The strength can be requested, then such prayers will also certainly be heard …. But it can also be acquired through loving activity, and this is a very reliable means to acquire strength, and the ascent will be easier for the person who lives in love. For love is strength, it is cooperation with God, Who Himself is love …. This is why every person who lives in love can make use of the strength from God, for God Himself will then be in him, and with His strength the human being will succeed in whatever he sets his mind to. Thus no person need fear ascent who fulfils the commandments of love for God and his neighbour …. He will walk the path and not notice that he is going upwards; he will not find any obstacles because he will easily overcome them. The path will cost him no effort, for he himself is so full of strength that he could take even far more difficult paths with ease because he has overcome all weakness …. But if he is negligent in his love for his neighbour, then it will also hold him back like a fetter when he wants to take the path upwards …. Then he will always long for even paths which cost him no effort, but then he will never reach the aim but always lose himself further into the abyss and finally sink into the abyss. Therefore, make an effort if you are unable to completely change into love, request strength which you will certainly receive because God values your will which strives for ascent …. Just have an earnest will and you can be sure that you will also receive strength, so that you will also become ever more eager in practicing unselfish neighbourly love …. And even if it is difficult for you to fulfil the divine commandments of love at first …. an earnest will is enough for you to receive the strength to also live in love, and your strength will increase more and more, the ascent upwards will become easier and easier for you, because God helps every person who strives upwards with an earnest will, towards Him …. Just don’t take flat paths or paths which lead downwards, which are indeed easy and entice people but which lead to ruin and never to beatitude …. which every human being should seriously strive for as long as he lives on earth ….
Amen

Weak faith ….
B.D. 7431 from October 18th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
All your strength lies in the strength of faith. As long as you cannot believe firmly and with conviction you will also be and remain weak and powerless, for the strength which lies in a strong faith is lacking and prevents you from carrying out your will, even if it wants to express itself in the right direction …. you lack the strength to do so. A weak faith is therefore always an obstacle on the path of ascent, a weak faith is a shortcoming of your soul. And you need not be weak in faith if only you would always see God’s hand which has guided you through your earthly life and is still guiding you …. You take everything for granted and yet are constantly guided and led by His protective hand …. You constantly receive and often accept without thanks what a loving father’s hand offers you …. You have already been led out of greatest adversity and again and again forget Who was your helper in this adversity …. And your faith should already be of such strength that you only need to lift your eyes to Him to know that He helps you in earthly and spiritual adversity …. But you go through life trembling and despondent, you let yourselves be weighed down by small worries and needs, you don’t think of the one Who can and will bring you real help because you are His children. You are too weak in faith, for a strong faith would not allow any despondency, discouragement or unhappy hour to arise …. you would cheerfully and calmly trust in His help, Who said: “Cast all your cares upon the Lord ….” and “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest ….” His words you can truly believe, for His word is truth and need not be doubted …. And if you turn to Him with a believing heart, then He will also help you, as He has promised …. But you should come to Him with a believing heart …. And you lack this firm faith as long as you are of a despondent heart. And as long as you don’t believe in God’s love and power either, which can and will banish all your worries, providing you only trust Him and thus faithfully entrust yourselves to Him so that He will grant your requests. An undoubted faith is your strongest strength which enables you to accomplish everything, and if you have this undoubted faith then there will be nothing left which is insurmountable for you, then you will truly be master over everything which weighs you down or worries you …. Cast all your cares upon the lord …. and you will be delivered from them, for God’s love knows no bounds if only a child with firm faith in His help appeals to Him to avert all adversity …. Then he will be helped because the father loves His child and always wants to make it happy. And you must first let this faith in His great love revive in you, and then it will also be easy for you to infer His will from His great love to help wherever His help is only ever requested ….
Amen

Sense of good and evil ….
B.D. 7432 from October 19th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Everyone is able to distinguish right from wrong if he only considers the effect on himself, if he considers what serves his own well-being or creates open discomfort for him …. quite apart from those procedures which obviously cause damage or great suffering. The human being will always know what serves him for the best, what he wishes for himself or what he would ward off if he were the target of attacks or also of good actions by a fellow human being. The human being knows quite well what is right or wrong, which is why he was also given the commandments of love which once again require him to do what is quietly hidden in the human being as a feeling but which he does not always pay attention to. Therefore, the divine commandments of love should make him aware of his duties towards God and his neighbour …. He should learn to live consciously, always with the measure of the divine commandments in his conduct of life. Emotionally he knows that his neighbour demands the same from him as he demands from himself: loving accommodation and respect for what belongs to him …. as well as help when his neighbour needs it, because in the same situation he would also be grateful for the same, for the same consideration he finds in him as well as for the understanding for his own needs. Man need only ever put himself in his neighbour’s place, and then he will know what is right in every case. But now the degree of self-love which still controls the human being is decisive, for although he knows what he should do and what is good in God’s eyes, his self-love can nevertheless be so strong that he is incapable of making a sacrifice for the benefit of his neighbour …. Then he must use great force to overcome his self-love in favour of the neighbour, but it cannot be said that he is incapable of distinguishing good from evil, that he does not know that he is obliged towards the neighbour …. but precisely his knowledge increases the sin of omission he commits when he does not relieve his neighbour’s distress, although he is capable of doing so …. For only his excessive self-love prevents him from carrying out a work of help, but he knows that he should do it according to God’s will and His commandments of love. He knows what it is like to be in need himself and is then grateful for every help. And so he should also think of his neighbour in his adversity and not deny him help, even if it costs him a sacrifice of overcoming …. But the more his work of love will be valued and he will be rewarded for what he has done out of love for his neighbour. Every person will therefore be able to understand the divine commandments of love, for the feeling for right and wrong, for good and evil, is present in every human being, just as he will therefore not be able to ‘sin with impunity’ because he will always recognize his wrongdoing towards his neighbour …. Therefore, love for his neighbour should first prevent him from sinful actions against him, he should fight unkindness …. then the path to practicing love for his neighbour will not be far away. For the spark of love is within him and will also easily ignite if the person is of good will …. which he proves when he refrains from all sinful actions against his neighbour and thus wants to protect him from all kinds of harm. Then it is no longer far to render him services of love, because he puts himself in the place of the neighbour who is in need and now also wants to help him …. Good and evil, right and wrong, must be consciously separated …. fight the one, strive for the other …. Then the path is no longer far to unselfish activity of love, for then the human being is of good will and will act according to God’s will …. he will act, think and speak according to the commandments of love for God and neighbour ….

"Work while it's still day …."
B.D. 7433 from October 20th 1959, taken from Book No. 78
The night is long, which will end the day, and in this night no one will be able to work any longer, because he will lack light and strength …. Therefore work while it is still day, for night will come irrevocably upon you humans who let the day pass by unused. And do you know what the endless long night consists of? You, who now walk the earth as a human being and can be active in free will, you will be banished anew into the solid form if you fail in this earthly life, if you therefore let the day, where you can work in light and strength, pass by unused and the endless long night will befall you. You will lose earthly life and therefore also all vitality, but you will also lose your self-awareness and have to go through the works of creation of the new earth again in countless substances and first freeze in complete inactivity because you are powerless. You will no longer be able to create and work according to your own will, but after an infinitely long time of darkness you will certainly awaken to a small life in order to slowly mature again according to divine will, so that one day you will once again approach the light of the morning. But this night will be so dreadfully painful and last so dreadfully long that you will still be warned of this night because you can avert it from you if you still use the short time of day to the best of your ability and earnestly strive for light. “Work while it is still day ….” the lord calls to you, “for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work ….” when you are deprived of light and strength, when you languish powerless in darkness and the light of day cannot shine down on you for a long time. The last hours of the day are still upon you, you are still in possession of strength and can make use of even the smallest realization you have gained and increase the light …. You can still work, for even the powerless human being has so much strength at his disposal if he wants to use it for the salvation of his soul in order to avert the endless night from it, which lies solely in the human being’s will. For where the will is good God is also ready with His strength and His light to help him with the work which he alone is unable to properly accomplish. But the will must be present to still be able to gain everything possible from the day, so that the night does not overtake him and find him asleep …. in a sleep from which he will not awake for eternity …. Don’t let sleep become a sleep of death, seek the light of day and work diligently at your work of deliverance, for the day will only last a short time before it gives way to an eternally long night. But anyone who works in all earnestness and diligence need not fear the night, for he will pass into a new day where no more night will follow for ever …. Believe that you are about to end the day …. Believe that an aim has been set for humanity, that only a short time remains until this aim …. And then the day will turn into night for those who did not work while it was day …. and the sun of the spirit will rise into a bright day for all who worked diligently in the vineyard of the lord, who worked on themselves, who made use of the day and were diligent until the end ….
Amen

God's will or approval ….
B.D. 7434 from October 22nd 1959, taken from Book No. 78
Let it be said to all of you that you are unable to do anything without My will or My permission …. but this does not mean that you do not have free will …. For will and execution are two different things, the will is your own affair which I do not determine in any way. But whether you can also carry out your will requires My consent, My will. And sometimes it has to work against your will, sometimes I have to intervene for the sake of your souls. But your actual will is judged, how it is directed …. in a good or evil sense. For your will shall be tested in earthly life. But sometimes it can also be so directed that the effect of the will, thus the deed carried out, harms or misleads the maturing of your own soul as well as that of other people’s souls; and then I often intervene and don’t allow the deed to be carried out in the first place, although the human being also has to answer for such a wrong will. But I do not prevent all such bad intentions and deeds, otherwise no-one would believe in the freedom of will and a hopeless chaos would arise, as well as the destroying-willing principle would assert itself on earth to the detriment of people who go through earthly life. Nevertheless, every person can pass the test of will, whether his plans are carried out or not, for he will only be judged according to his will. However, there is also a reason why I very often allow wrong actions, for people should become aware of their own wrong actions and recognize the wrongness of their will and actions by their own wrong actions or those of their fellow human beings, because the effect of such actions will never be good. The freedom of the will, however, will constantly be disputed by people because their course of life does not always unfold as they want it to and they therefore declare the will to be unfree. But no human being is forced to follow a certain direction of his will …. Every person’s will is completely free and can turn in any direction at its own discretion …. But I know when you have to be stopped, when I have to oppose My will and thus prevent actions which this free will gives birth to, which it plans to carry out in blind hatred, in ignorance of its effect and the harm it can cause to his fellow human being …. For My love and wisdom sees further and seeks to compensate and spare people much hardship and misery who trustingly hand themselves over to Me, who entrust their lives to Me again and again and whom I therefore also protect from great harm …. But I also overlook the great …. And I often call people away from life whose attitude does not correspond to the well-being of their fellow human beings and who have already proven their wrong will too often …. because I want to prevent unnecessary suffering from coming upon people which does not benefit them spiritually …. but just as I also call people away whose attitude has always corresponded to My will but whose mission on earth I consider to be finished and therefore end further activity on their part …. For My will and My permission are only decisive as to whether the human being’s will can take effect or not. But the human being is responsible for his will, regardless of whether he is prevented from carrying out the deed or not. This is why much guilt will have to be carried away, for the human being’s thinking and will is free and he will one day have to give account for everything …. not only for the works that have been carried out …. Therefore, be careful and pay attention to your thoughts, for they reveal your innermost nature; pay attention to your will so that it is directed towards what is good and sublime, and you will not have to fear responsibility one day in eternity ….
Amen
