Utilisation of the short life time ….

B.D. 7435 from October 23rd 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You don’t need much time for your souls to mature, you can develop your soul within a short period of time in a way that its certain fate is to enter the realm of light when it removes its earthly body …. But you must sincerely want your soul to mature and apply for God for help in order to achieve it since you are unable to do so by yourself. Your own will is too weak and you constantly return to the love for the world, you cannot overcome your love of self and are time and again pushed off the path which you want to walk for your salvation. However, if you turn to God for help He will guide your thoughts to Jesus Christ, the Divine Redeemer, because you receive your strength of will from Him. Although you are calling on the same God but in doing so you acknowledge the act of Salvation and thus the Divine Redeemer, Who has to be acknowledged if you want to share the graces of the act of Salvation. To call on Him guarantees strengthening of will even if you have to fight against the temptations of the world behind which God’s enemy is hiding, who repeatedly tries to cause your fall. But you receive strength and each time again find the firm will to reach perfection on this earth, and then you can be certain to reach your goal.

The intensity and depth of feeling of your bond with Jesus Christ is the key to how much time you need for your souls to become fully mature. And this depth of feeling in turn depends on the degree of love you have for God and your fellow human beings. Love is everything. Love establishes the union with God in Jesus Christ, love fortifies the will, and love gives strength to accomplish the psychological task on oneself which, as a result, guarantees complete maturity of soul. But you should not make the big mistake to believe that you still have a lot of time for this psychological task, you should never delay your aspirations until later because you don’t know how long your reprieve lasts, how long you live on this earth …. You don’t know when your last day arrives and should live as if you are called back tomorrow and have to give account to your God and Creator. You do not have a long time to live even if you are granted the time until the end.

But you even have to thank God should He not allow you to experience the end if, due to your own negligence, your maturity of soul is still imperfect …. You have to thank God if you are called away before and still get the mercy to mature in the beyond, that you won’t fall victim to God’s opponent and his intrigue …. There is not much time left and thus you should utilise it to the best of your ability and you can mature fully within a very short time if you are of good will ….

Amen

Love life …. living faith ….

B.D. 7436 from October 25th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

The strength of faith depends on the spirit of love which moves the human being. Love must flare up in the human being to a bright glow, then faith will also be alive, the bright ray of love will bring knowledge to the human being, and what the human being is otherwise only required to believe will be so comprehensible and undoubted to him that one can now speak of a living faith which also has all strength within itself. The human being can accept many things with his intellect, he can also convince himself to believe them, but only living faith gives him the certainty that what has been presented to him is truth. And only this full certainty is happy, only a living faith is what gives the human being strength and peace. But without love faith is dead …. Therefore love has to be lived first before the human being can enjoy a living faith, even if he represents something with such conviction …. Yet he lacks inner conviction as long as he lacks love. Faith without love is unthinkable, and people should first consider the extent to which they are willing and active in love before they talk about a firm, unshakeable faith, which every person would certainly like to possess but only possesses when he is willing to love. And the explanation for this is quite simple: Anyone who lives in love is united with God, Who Himself is love …. and anyone who is united with God can also make use of His strength, and therefore he has the firm certainty that he can understand everything and achieve everything with God, and this certainty is ‘faith’ …. To be united with God means that bright light shines through the human being, and to stand in the light means to stand in knowledge, and then faith is also easy, it must be alive in the human being, for the light from God which shines through the human being chases away all doubt, and only certainty remains …. living faith …. For this reason every person should practice unselfish neighbourly love if he wants to attain a living faith, and he will realize with amazement how all doubt disappears in him, how he accepts with conviction and fullest certainty and moves in his heart everything he receives in spiritual teachings which God in His infinite love guides to earth as an emanation of Himself …. His word, which is constantly conveyed to you humans from above. In order to be able to believe it alive you have to live a life of love, otherwise it will only be words for you without meaning and life, yet for a person willing to love it is the most delicious thing he can receive from God …. For it is strength from God, it is light and brings freedom from the chains of the adversary, it brings freedom from the darkness of night …. Living faith is the result of a way of life in love, and My word, like a ray of light, will clearly illuminate everything to the human being, and now he will no longer be able to doubt because love in him is the light, because love in him opens the heart for the word which is conveyed to him from above, because he lives in love. This is why every person must attain a living faith who hears the word from above, who gratefully receives it and passes it on again and again because he lives in love. And therefore no person needs to fear that he will remain dead in spirit and thus also dead in his faith if only he wants to live, if he wants his faith to be a living one, for the will is everything and God will ensure that the will achieves what it strives for …. The human being will walk on earth in love and it will become a certainty to him that God loves him and wants to make him blissfully happy ….

Amen

Answer to questions ….

B.D. 7437 from October 26th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Observe all questions arising within you and watch your thoughts corresponding to these questions …. but prior to such thoughts you should always enter into a heartfelt dialogue with your eternal God and Father …. As soon as you contact Me in thought or in prayer and commend your guidance to Me, as soon as you consciously present your questions to Me, you will also receive the answer, for I want you to become enlightened about all issues that occupy your mind. And thus I want you to know that you never need to fear acting against My will as long as you hand everything over to Me …. as long as your will predominantly wants to work according to My will. Then I will also bless everything you undertake in this resolve.

Nowadays addressing people in a remarkable way is not very successful, irrespective of whether I speak Myself from above or through you, My servants on earth …. People do not want to hear what would benefit them spiritually; as a result they reject everything which could disturb their worldly pleasures. In contrast, those who have already received information and knowledge about the things they now hear in total clarity from you can be inspired to greater spiritual activity …. But the world itself will make sure that people are informed about unusual things in the universe, and then there is still time to draw their attention to the spiritual correlation, the success of which again only depends on people’s will, for no human being shall be condemned, no human being shall become subject to compulsory faith, which is always a danger when they are offered obvious proof where faith alone should speak.

Humanity is so faithless that it never accepts prophesies as being true, and therefore it is also unwise to convey such prophesies to them …. On the other hand, open-minded people should be informed about what is made known through seers and prophets …. Then these will do what they can in order to enlighten people, for they can easily pass on and convincingly present to their fellow human beings what they know themselves …. And then there is still enough time to form an opinion about it. But every single person will feel in his heart how he should conduct himself towards his fellow human beings, and he will speak when he feels inwardly urged to do so and keep silent when an inner voice prevents him from speaking …. It is always My will that you contact Me and attentively listen within, and you will clearly and distinctly hear My will ….

Amen

Intercession for souls beyond ….

B.D. 7438 from October 27th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You don’t know how much the souls have to suffer who stay in the kingdom of the beyond without any intercession and on whose will alone it depends whether they take a step forward. These poor souls are mostly unable to muster this will, and all ideas on the part of the beings of light, which again and again visit them in disguise in order to bring them help, are unsuccessful because they simply have no strength to want and vegetate apathetically until strength is given to them from one side. And this can only be achieved through intercession on the part of people …. Everything must proceed according to the law of eternal order …. God cannot arbitrarily bestow strength on a soul which is completely unworthy of it, which it neither desires nor accepts when it is offered to it or other help is offered to it …. And precisely because the soul is too weak to do anything itself to improve its situation you humans should remember it in loving intercession and often pray for these poor souls so that the father, for the sake of your love, can then bestow His strength and supply it to those souls and will certainly do so, so that no intercessory prayer will remain without effect. A soul taken care of by a person on earth in loving intercession cannot get lost, once it comes to the realization that it has to take action itself to change its fate …. Then it will also do so, for it noticeably feels the strength which is given to it and then also applies it in accordance with divine will, i.e. it will thereby lovingly work on the souls which, like it, are in need. Loving intercession is the only means to help such souls in darkness, because through it they themselves get to know the strength of love and are able to change. These souls suffer indescribably and are extremely grateful once they have attained realization and take the right path which was pointed out to them …. And they carry off their gratitude with redeeming activity, for then they want to help, just as they were helped in their adversity and torment. Yet countless souls have no intercessor, countless souls dwell in darkness, whom no human being remembers in loving intercession …. Include them all in your prayers, just have the will to help them, and this good will will supply them with strength so that they will temporarily feel urged to ascend from the darkness and then sparks of light will also light up for them at times which will inspire them to follow them. Compassionate thoughts which you send into these dark spheres always cause small revolts that the beings try to instruct each other what to do in order to get out of their agonizing state, and if the intercession does not diminish the soul’s desire becomes ever stronger. And then a change also occurs by giving them the opportunity to leave the abyss and participate in teachings which are offered to them in the form of sparks of light and which are beneficial to them. To help those souls is a great work of mercy, because they can no longer help themselves alone and are dependent on outside help. They hardly accept the help offered to them directly in the kingdom of the beyond because they are too weak to want it and therefore first need the supply of strength which you humans can impart to them through loving intercession. It is the works of love which you can still do to the souls beyond death and which are often of greater significance because they can be a work of salvation for these souls which leads them out of darkness and lets them come to life. But once such souls have been saved, once they have entered the path of light, then they have also become eager helpers for the other souls which likewise dwell in darkness …. For they never forget their adversity and will therefore also be eternally grateful ….

Amen

Man shall become the overcomer of the world ….

B.D. 7439 from October 28th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

The world will always emerge with its demands, it will constantly imprison the human being, for as long as he is still placed in the midst of this world, he must also come to terms with it, i.e. bow to the demands it makes on being human. But nevertheless it makes a difference whether the human being allows himself to be completely captured or separates himself inwardly from it …. whether the human being succeeds in becoming master of everything worldly that still seeks to bind him. Insofar as the body is to come into its own, the world will never become a danger, and this is always under the control of the human being himself. He must never let bodily desires have the upper hand, he must himself limit and delimit where the body pushes itself too far, because then the soul is always in danger of being neglected. And the soul and its needs are the most important thing in earthly life, the human being should not forget that, but then the world cannot become a danger to him either. But since the world is the realm of God’s adversary and his endeavour is and will always remain to keep the human being from working on his soul, he will always make use of worldly means in order to achieve this …. He will push worldly desire forward, and if the human being pays too much attention to it he will forget the soul and it will have to live in want while the body can indulge itself. Therefore you humans must be very careful not to get entangled in worldly desires, you must avoid every worldly stimulation and withdraw from it, you must try all the more eagerly to procure spiritual pleasures for yourselves, and the body’s desire will be quieted because the soul is often also able to make the body inclined towards its desire, because the body often also feels good when the soul is granted proper strengthening and satiation through spiritual nourishment. If the soul also succeeds in making the body inclined then the danger of the world will be overcome, then the body will also only demand from the world what it needs for its preservation, but it will no longer stifle the soul’s desire through its craving, it will then have overcome such, and the world will then only exist as a necessity for earthly life, yet no longer as fulfilment of secret desires and cravings. But it demands constant attention, constant good will and constant work on oneself …. For the battle waged by God’s adversary for the souls will continue as long as the human being stays on earth, and again and again he will try to gain influence over the body through the world, which then can very easily drag the soul down with it to the level it had already overcome. Yet the human being’s good will, the will to reach God and to fulfil His will, will also constantly be of help to him, and one day he will reach the aim …. He will have to fight or else serve in love …. Then all worldly hunger will fall away, then the soul will already have become so strong in overcoming that it will have the body completely under its control …. Then the body, too, will willingly separate itself from everything that belongs to the world, and it, too, will only find happiness and bliss in what the soul and its spirit now offer it and what can also spiritualize earthly substances as long as the human being dwells on earth ….

Amen

The angels' protection in the battle of faith ….

B.D. 7440 from October 29th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

And countless angels will stand by your side during your final battle on earth. You don’t have to be afraid when this battle erupts, for you will receive strength and be able to offer the resistance which is demanded of you in this fight …. You will remain faithful to Me, because inwardly you will be so permeated by strength that in no way will you fall prey to your enemies’ onslaughts, because I know that your will applies to Me, and given that I will send My angels to protect you, you will feel this protection most evidently. The battle will not be an easy one, since it will be waged brutally and with fanatical zeal on the adversary’s side, but you will not feel it as such because you will be filled with the spirit once actions are taken against all people who devoutly follow Me and also openly profess Me in Jesus Christ. And this courage of conviction will increase, and every new avowal will fill you with new strength, for then I will clearly reveal Myself through My spirit, which will fill everyone who professes Me before the world. And they will also know what time it is and will expect My coming daily …. And this will continue to give them the strength to endure and to ignore the difficulties. Time and again they will receive help from My side and My angels will shield them against all attacks by the enemy. And as long as they stand by your side you will not be in danger, for they only ever fulfil My will and are happy to be of service to Me and to you. Soon the time will come when the Antichrist will show himself …. And you have no idea which side he will come from and you will all be surprised. But then the signs will be so obvious that you will no longer be mistaken, you will distinctly recognise him and be able to prepare yourselves against his activity. Yet prior to this I will still speak from above, you just should know that this will not be the end of your mission as yet, that you will live through this time and then also receive the strength to stand firm in the last battle on this earth.

Everyone will feel whom I speak to through these lines, but I Am with all of you who want to serve Me, for I need you in the last days of the battle of faith, in the time when the last decision has to be made …. I need all of you to enlighten your fellow human beings as to what I expect of them …. that they should stand firm and not be afraid, if only they want to belong to Me and to fulfil My will. And when they hear you they will also take courage and offer resistance, which subsequently will render the adversary incapable of proceeding against these believers …. He will have to let go of them because My angels will form a protective wall around all those who want to be and remain My Own. But the battle will erupt and not just against single believers, but it will be aimed against all spiritual striving. However, only those with a living faith, who belong to the church founded by Me, will emerge triumphantly, for they will fight under My banner, led by and protected by a host of invisible warriors who are of service to Me and to righteousness …. until the day has come when I will fetch My Own and liberate them from utmost adversity and distress …. until the day of Judgment comes which will follow soon afterwards and put an end to every earthly and spiritual battle ….

Amen

Dialogue with the Father …. His Word from above ….

B.D. 7441 from October 30th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You must withdraw into solitude if you want to speak to Me …. I merely require you to withdraw from the world and into your closet and then turn your thoughts to Me alone …. so that you mentally detach yourselves from the world and all its requirements, so that you give no room in your heart to anything but Me and so that you approach Me in a childlike manner in order to hear Me and My Words. I want a prayer in spirit and in truth …. which necessitates that you completely detach yourselves from all worldly thoughts, it necessitates listening within, a silent dialogue with your Father and an attentive ear within for what answer your Father might give you. Your words will not remain without reply, if only you listen for it …. if you truly desire a dialogue, so that you address Me and subsequently wait for what I have to say to you in response …. This private dialogue with My child is exceedingly pleasing to Me, after all, the child is opening its heart to Me so that I can provide it with an answer which is intended only for the benefit of its soul. Yet I can never do this in the midst of the world, when the human being is distracted in every way from heartfelt thoughts of his eternal Father …. He can certainly send a quick prayer up to Me even in the midst of the world, and he will be well advised if he tries as often as possible to send a short thought to Me and thereby remains in constant contact with Me …. But a right prayer in spirit and in truth, when he may distinctly receive My Fatherly love, can only take place in the closet of his heart, in silent retreat and the heartfelt devotion of the child to its Father …. Then peace will enter the person’s heart and he can hold a heart-to-heart talk with the Father …. and he will never regret spending any spare time in such silent dialogue, because I very gladly speak with My child and it will draw much benefit for its soul from every conversation.

Detaching himself from the world will often be difficult for a person, My adversary will hinder him from doing so in every possible way, time and again he will try to disturb or prevent it …. But the human being’s will should be stronger and resist My adversary …. Then the person will receive strength and be able to accomplish his intention: to unite with Me in heartfelt prayer and to hear the Father’s Words. Only an intimate bond like this will enable you humans to hear My Word from above through a fellow human being …. only a union in spirit and in truth makes it possible for My spirit to pour itself into an opened vessel …. And therefore, great blessings rest in this beginning, this intention of becoming receptive to Me and of allowing My flow of grace to pour into oneself. For countless souls participate in the transmission of My Word which also desire to hear the Father’s voice and with heartfelt longing are waiting to be addressed by the Father …. You should all withdraw into solitude and listen …. And you may truly hear your Father’s voice, it will sound to you like pleasing music, for that which comes from Me can only grant you happiness and blessing, that which comes from Me has to touch your souls like exquisite nourishment for which you long and which you will receive without limitation as soon as you desire it. Send a prayer up in spirit and in truth …. Lift your thoughts to Me and listen. And I will speak to you like a father speaks to his child, and your soul will cheer and rejoice at every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God ….

Amen

Forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ ….

B.D. 7442 from October 31th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

All of you can procure My forgiveness of your sins if only you sincerely desire it and take your path to Me in Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for all your sins. I carried an immense burden of sin to the cross, for I carried the sins of the whole human race, past, present and future …. It consisted of humanity’s original sin as well as all sins every individual person has committed on earth …. I shouldered all guilt and walked with it to the cross …. And regardless of how severe a sin is, I took it upon Myself because I wanted to redeem you from your every guilt, I wanted to restore your purity of heart which alone enables you to approach Me again and allows you to behold Me face to face.

I wanted to cleanse you all of your guilt, I wanted to pay penance for all the sins which weighed you down and kept you irrevocably separate from Me, because I cannot unite Myself with sin …. For this reason I redeemed all guilt through My act of Salvation but I require every person’s own will to become redeemed. Consequently, every human being must recognise his guilt of sin, which keeps him far removed from Me, and he must appeal to Me for forgiveness of his guilt …. For without his own admission of his guilt and the plea for forgiveness he will not acknowledge the sacrifice on the cross by the man Jesus and his guilt of sin cannot be forgiven.

Hence you must want to become redeemed and with this will come to Me in Jesus Christ and appeal to Me for your deliverance …. Then you will be free from all guilt, from weakness and the bondage in which My adversary has kept you for an infinitely long time …. You will be free from darkness, for the light of Christ will illuminate you, love will be kindled in you and flare up into a bright flame, for the one who lacks all love has no more control over you, and the One Who is Love Itself has come to you and lets His light shine into your hearts because they have become pure, because Jesus Christ has atoned for the sin and your heart has become ‘God’s temple’ as soon as you live in love …. And once you are redeemed from all guilt through Jesus Christ, you will also live a life of love according to His will and I can take abode in your hearts, which you have prepared as a temple for Me through love ….

But first you must inevitably have attained and received the remission of your sins. The sincere desire for it will also guarantee complete forgiveness, for Jesus Christ hears every cry rising to Him from a heart burdened by guilt …. I hear you and gladly comply with your desire, I remove your sin and draw you to My heart, because you now belong to the redeemed for whom I shed My blood on earth. I only require your admission of guilt and that is not difficult, for you all know that you are weak and wretched creatures which still live in slavery and spiritual darkness as long as they don’t find salvation through the love of Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself on earth.

Jesus, the man, so loved his fellow human beings that He wanted to sacrifice Himself for the sins of every human being He wanted to redeem the sins in order to open the path to the Father again, Who dwelled in Him …. His love was so great that He wanted to help every person attain beatitude, which can only be found with the Father …. and His love made Him take upon Himself the bitterest suffering and dying in order to atone for the guilt which had created an insurmountable gulf between Myself and the beings and which had to be bridged first, and this was done by Jesus Christ through the act of Salvation and His immeasurable love. He established the connection between the human race and Myself, He helped them to reach the Father and shed His blood on the cross for all sins so that all people can become blessed ….

Therefore you should sincerely desire to be released from your guilt of sin, recognise and admit your guilt, carry it to the cross and call upon the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ for forgiveness. And you will be able to enter the kingdom of light in a purified state when your life on earth is over …. you will walk the path to Me, to the Father, which Jesus Christ walked ahead of you, which was started by His love and which must be taken by everyone who wants to become blissfully happy ….

Amen

"Hear My addressl …."

B.D. 7443 from November 1st 1959, taken from Book No. 78

I seek to address every person when My word is brought to him …. Whether he hears it in his congregation, whether he reads it or it is presented to him in conversation …. it is always an opportunity where I Myself can address him if he wants it himself. For it can also fall on his ear, his eyes can read over the words, he can be careless in conversation, it need not touch his heart …. but only then, when it has touched the heart, have I Myself spoken to him. But he should not let any opportunity to hear Me pass him by, for My address can only be a blessing for him. And therefore no human being can say that he has never had the opportunity to hear Me Myself, for I approach everyone because I want to win everyone for Myself and this can only happen if I address him Myself and he listens to Me. But I cannot force him to do the latter …. otherwise everyone would truly be touched by the power of My word and it would already have found its way into all people’s hearts. Yet a ‘forced response’ to My demands which My word makes on people would not be successful for your souls, and therefore I have to wait until you open yourselves voluntarily, until you lend Me your ear of your own accord, until you listen to My words and then comply with them …. but I address each one of you more than once in your life …. Again and again I try to make Myself heard by you because your salvation depends on it, your fate in the kingdom of the beyond when you have to leave the earthly body. My word must have sounded to you, i.e. it must have resonated in your heart and caused you to live your life according to this word …. Then bliss will also be your fate in the beyond, then you will not need to fear adversity and torment, for then you will already have been in contact with Me on earth because you opened your heart and ear to the address which sounded for you …. Don’t let My word fall on your ears, take notice when it sounds to you, think about it and try to live it out, and you will be delighted about the effect of the word …. It will touch you like a gift of love, and it will have an effect as a gift of love: It will bring you light and strength, whereas otherwise you will remain lightless and powerless, and no matter how rich earthly treasures you may have in earthly life. You can only make your soul happy with spiritual strength, and you receive this through the transmission of My word, regardless of the form in which you receive it …. Always and everywhere let yourselves be addressed by merely having the will and desire to be addressed by Me Myself. Then it will always be My word, whether you hear or read it. The desire for My word also ensures its reception, and the strength of My word will always flow to you if only you sincerely desire to be addressed by Me. For then your will is turned towards Me, and then everything you want and undertake must also establish the bond between us. And then My word must also sound to you, for you yourselves open your ears and hearts through your desire and I can speak to you …. I can speak to you as a father speaks to his children, and you will always be blessed by this address of Mine ….

Amen

Effect of the divine word on otherworldly souls ….

B.D. 7444 from November 2nd 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You are in the midst of a multitude of souls when you receive My word or pass it on to your fellow human beings. You cannot see them but you would be overjoyed if you could feel their gratitude which makes them seek ever more contact with you. They feel that nourishment emanates from you which satisfies them, which does them good and which gives them the strength they need. Every word which penetrates their hearts is also felt by them as being spoken by Me Myself, and therefore they are particularly happy that I dignify them with an address and they burn with ardent love for Me. You do no spiritual work unnoticed by these souls, for once they have accepted food and drink from you they will not leave you again, and they only ever wait for you to establish the bond with the spiritual world, which they notice as a ray of light and then follow everything with utmost attentiveness and take part in what is offered to you by Me …. You do not know about the great blessing of spiritual bonds through listening to or passing on My word …. You don’t know how many people you can make happy with it and what effect My word has on all these souls which need light and strength but which are also willing to accept light and strength. They greedily accept every word and think about it, and once a soul has discovered this source of life it will no longer leave it, for it will always derive more benefit from it the more eagerly it accepts the food and drink. And then it works with it itself because it cannot help but repeatedly mention the grace it is offered by being allowed to participate in the feeding of countless souls. And if you humans remember these souls to whom you can only do good by letting yourselves be taught, by accepting My word directly or indirectly …. if you consider that every spiritual conversation always spreads brighter light around the soul, then you should not miss any opportunity to hear or read My word and again and again hand out nourishment to the souls surrounding you which will help them to mature in a short time. You should remember these souls with compassionate love and know that you can help them to salvation if you proclaim My word, silently or aloud, as the occasion arises. You will never be without a listener, for even if the children of the world don’t want to listen to you, but the beings in the kingdom of the beyond are always willing to listen to you, they are waiting for it because a spiritually directed thought already expresses itself as a spark of light which they rush towards so as not to miss anything. These souls truly hunger and thirst for the bread of heaven and the water of life …. You can satisfy them and again and again supply them with strength, and the knowledge of this shall inspire you to let My word resound into infinity quite often, be it through direct receipt, through the transmission of My word from above, be it through passing it on, through proclaiming the pure gospel, which you receive from Me if only you desire it …. You never hear it alone but you are always surrounded by a multitude who receive it extremely gratefully, who fill themselves with it and are happy that they, too, can now work with it for the benefit of the souls to whom they would like to bring light …. Their spiritual poverty will dwindle, they will be able to detach themselves from the darkness, they will feel bliss, for the light will shine upon them and shine through them, which emanates from Me, Who is the light and the truth from eternity ….

Amen

Thoughts of death are favourable for the soul ….

B.D. 7445 from November 3rd 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Again and again you are admonished to think of your temporal end, for you only live consciously on this earth when you think of the time after your physical death, which you create for yourselves during earthly life for a state of bliss or also for a state of distress and agony. If you often think about death then you will also try to fathom the purpose of your earthly life because it seems incomprehensible to you that you should only exist for the short time on earth, which is also of indeterminate duration for every human being …. And emotionally you will already have to acknowledge the continued existence of your soul, for your I, your soul, resists the thought of a complete extinction …. It feels that it lives on, and therefore the human being will nevertheless live responsibly on earth if he remembers that his time is limited according to God’s will. That is why such thoughts are only ever useful for your soul, since you deal with the once certain death, for they can only spur you on to do soul work out of the inner impulse to bring it to perfection while it still dwells on earth. For no human being knows how long he will still be granted a life on this earth …. But not everyone is moved by such thoughts, for he who is lured and held captive by the world will always reject such thoughts and want to gain whatever is possible from life. And it is these who arrive in the kingdom of the beyond without any spiritual wealth, who find themselves poor and meagre on the other side in darkness and complete lack of strength …. You should be warned of this fate, and you will certainly try to change your life if you concern yourselves more with thoughts of death, for you will emotionally fear death in powerlessness and darkness and seek to acquire light and strength beforehand already, because the spirit impels you from within as soon as you are only willing to listen to it for a short time, which always favours spiritual thoughts, because every thought of death and the aftermath is already a spiritually directed thought which will always have a favourable effect if the human being’s will is good. And these are addressed in particular because they often have a weak will which is to be prompted into action through words or example. Think often of the fact that you will have to die, and think of improving the state of your soul after death while you are still on this earth. And you will only benefit your soul, for it will involuntarily make an effort to lead its way of life well, i.e. in the spirit of God, because it feels the responsibility. The human being can certainly have the grace to reach a great age, but his earthly life can also only last for a very short time, and he should always be ready for the entrance into the kingdom of light, for he can also mature and progress in his development in a short time, but he must also have the will to do so and cover his earthly life with a spiritually directed gaze; and then he will also not need to fear the hour of death, it will only signify a change of his stay, a change of sphere, which now receives the soul…: the kingdom of light and bliss, where it will live and need no longer fear death for ever ….

Amen

The spirit of Jesus Christ is love …. God's presence ….

B.D. 7446 from November 4th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

No one will be blessed without Jesus Christ …. Again and again you are told this, for you humans are not yet very permeated by the spirit of Jesus Christ or you would not pass away in weakness of faith and strengthlessness, even if you have the will to belong to My own. The spirit of Jesus Christ is the spirit of love by which He was so completely permeated that My presence in Him thus became possible, or also: My spirit of love permeated Him, and thus it was I Myself Who was in Him. The divine spirit of love must first be able to work in you, only then will you be able to say: “Jesus Christ is in me …. God Himself is present in me ….” And I want to be present in you. And your whole existence is therefore a chain of experiences which are all suitable to draw you closer to Me in love and thus make My presence possible …. For you will constantly be stimulated into loving activity, and if you practice this the divine spirit of love will radiate through you ever more, and you will be united with Me in Jesus Christ, and I will fill you with strength and light because I can be present to you …. But this relationship between you and Me must be alive, otherwise your faith will also be dead, otherwise I cannot be present to you …. And only in love will your faith find true life …. Let divine love itself be within you, for with every work of love you draw it close to you, and thus, if you live in love, you will also live with Me, Who is eternal love …. And I will never leave you again, not even when you are unable to feel My nearness …. I am with you who are of good will …. But always think about why you are often unable to feel Me. Think about the fact that My love cannot become effective even though it is always meant for you, that My love is only felt by you when you reciprocate it yourselves and thus meet Me with ardent love which then allows Me to be noticeably present. My love is not withdrawn from you, it is merely ineffective which you cause yourselves if you lack loving activity, but again and again I influence you from within to practice love, and again and again you will thereby draw Me close to you and be able to say…: “Jesus Christ, the embodied love, is in Me and present to Me ….” And if you don’t feel this presence of Mine, then only ever make an effort to live a life of love and you will inwardly feel that you are united with Me, My presence will no longer appear doubtful to you, you will be able to speak in all intimacy as a child speaks to its father …. and your faith will become firm and unshakeable because it is alive through love ….

Amen

Constant help from God ….

B.D. 7447 from November 5th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

From Me all means are at your disposal to be able to become blessed …. From Me there is no restriction of grace, no adherence to My radiance of love, there is no resetting of My creatures and also no diminution of My love …. You can receive everything from Me in the richest measure if only you want it yourselves, if you willingly and joyfully gratefully accept all My gifts of grace and work with them. And you could already achieve the highest perfection on earth if only you always set Me Myself as your aim, which you strive for, and if your will only ever remained directed towards Me, that you conform to Me as long as you live on earth. Hence it is only a matter of striving spiritually, of trying to reach Me, of recognizing your own imperfection and always striving to reach perfection …. of trying to change your nature in order to bring your nature into line with Mine again, as it was in the beginning. And My infinite love, which wants nothing more than for you to achieve this alignment again, guarantees that you will be able to do so. For it promises you undreamed-of glories in the spiritual kingdom after the death of your body. And since I Myself want your perfection I will truly provide you with all the means to achieve it. And thus you will be carried, as it were, and you need only apply no resistance, you need only do everything you feel inwardly urged to do, because this is My gentle voice which wants to advise and help you. If, however, you offer inner resistance by overhearing the voice within you or act against this voice, then your transformation into love will still take a long time …. But then you yourselves will always determine the state you are in, because from My side only that happens which lets you mature, which brings you upwards in your spiritual development. And now the love within you is decisive, which you show to Me Myself and, as proof of this love, also to your neighbour. Where love has ignited in the heart the human being will also gladly follow the instructions which are sent to him from My side …. where love is, My love will also be felt beneficially and reciprocate the love which the human being is allowed to feel again and again on the part of his God and father …. Where love is present there is also no lack of strength to tackle the soul’s work of transformation, and where love is present I Myself am present and help where the human being’s will is too weak. I will never make your course of development more difficult, even if it sometimes seems as if I have placed obstacles in your path …. I know what is best for your soul, and I am always willing to help it in spiritual adversity. And earthly hardship is sometimes only there to remedy spiritual hardship, earthly hardship shall lead the human being closer to the father’s heart, because everything is successful which prompts the human being into a heartfelt bond with Me. I constantly draw My child to Me out of pure love, but I cannot do more than its love for Me can bear …. And if My love were to shine upon the human being with all its strength, then the fire of My love would burn the child as long as its soul has not reached the degree of maturity that it can also endure the strongest fire of love without perishing …. But it can reach this state, and I truly do everything as father in order to be able to make My child endlessly happy for once, and it will also receive all help from Me in order to lead it to that happiness and beatitude which is granted to it for all eternity ….

Amen

God demands deliberation ….

B.D. 7448 from November 6th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Don’t close your hearts when you hear My call but listen to what I want to say to you: Take account of yourselves and you will know what you are lacking if you have not yet come alive, so that My spirit can teach you from within …. You all could be imbued by My spirit because the spark of My divine Father-Spirit rests within you, within every human being …. irrespective of whether it is kindled or left to die down …. it is within you and only requires a small glimmer of love to ignite and become a bright flame …. Have you already given this spark in you the opportunity to ignite? Then it should also spread a small light, and in this faint gleam of light you would recognise things which would not have been visible to you before ….

I speak to those who are still living in spiritual darkness, who do not know the correlations which motivate your God and Father to give you knowledge through His spirit …. I speak to those who do not think …. For serious deliberation would have to give rise to doubts and questions in you, since your spirit is still dark and you have not yet kindled the light within yourselves. But do you reflect on this?

Consider the inadequate spiritual state of those who, without doubt, believe themselves to be at the top and yet are so blind that they cannot be ‘leaders’. Consider whether a God and Creator, Who is love, wisdom and omnipotence in Himself, would disregard that everything which should testify of Him reveals love, wisdom and omnipotence …. And where do you find love, wisdom and omnipotence in the religious doctrines offered to you which are spoilt or purely human teachings? …. You need only think about it more deeply and you would come to the sudden realisation that the Great Spirit of eternity, the God of love and wisdom, will not make such demands on you which ecclesiastical commandments specify. He solely requires you humans to fulfil the commandments of love for God and your neighbour …. And just by meeting this requirement you will already receive light because you will then awaken the spiritual spark within you which will guide you into every truth …. (John 14, 15-26) But where are you looking for truth?

In distorted spiritual knowledge, in misguided teachings and in doctrines which distinctly demonstrate spiritual coercion, even though I only ever take notice of people’s free will, because the human being can only attain perfection through free will …. Have you ever considered that all these doctrines and humanly decreed commandments prevent people from attaining beatitude? That they usually defer the only divine commandments of love towards God and other people for the sake of these humanly decreed laws and still believe in living in accordance with divine will on earth? Have you ever thought about the spiritual decline that can occur and has already occurred in people who do not think for themselves and do not form their own relationship with their God and Father so that He may instruct and guide them? …. Why do you always make a human establishment more important which cannot claim to be the church founded by Jesus Christ? ….

There are, in fact, people with a living faith amongst you, whose spirits have been awakened and who thus belong to His church, but the church founded by Jesus Himself does not consist of an organisation which is a distinctly human establishment …. It is the ‘community of true believers’, who can indeed be found in all organisations but whose premises are entirely different than you believe. And if you live with love then the spirit within you will also instruct you, and clear-sightedly and quick of hearing you will observe everything which you still defend and adhere to while you are still ‘unenlightened’. I, however, as your God and Father, only judge a person by his inner state, by his life of love, by his realisation; but the human being himself should not oppose the light when it is given to him …. He should be pleased and willing to ignite the flame of life for his soul himself, since My love always approaches you in the form of a light because only light beatifies, and because truth alone is the light of eternity, and truth only ever originates from Me Myself, Who is truth since eternity ….

Amen

Impact of the teachings in the afterlife ….

B.D. 7449 from November 7th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

It is not easy work to eliminate error from the world because it is in the nature of things that error is far more readily accepted by people, that they are not as defensive towards it as they are towards pure truth. This can be explained by the defective nature of the human being himself, who is still too much under the influence of the adversary, who will always influence the human being negatively and find a hearing with him. Nevertheless, an attempt must be made to fight against error, which will only ever be possible for a person who himself stands in the pure truth and who is therefore also able to distinguish truth from error. He will not only reject an erroneous teaching but also be able to justify why such a teaching should be rejected, and this justification alone can make a turning away from it possible, whereas otherwise people will remain firmly convinced that this teaching is truth. This applies in particular to people who unhesitatingly adopt old traditions without considering their origin; it applies to people who do not even ask whether they have been offered truth but unhesitatingly accept everything that is presented to them as truth. It applies to all those who are uninterested in the ‘truth’, who don’t care in which school of thought their thinking moves, and who don’t think at all and therefore have no desire for the truth. But they too shall be addressed by the bearers of truth, they too shall be roused from their state of sleep and the misguided teachings shall be brightly illuminated so that they will think about them and take a stand. For having to enter the kingdom of the beyond afflicted by error means hard work for the soul until it becomes somewhat free, because the error is so firmly held by such a soul that it is difficult to talk it out of it …. But a soul can only be blissfully happy when it moves in truth, because its bliss consists of distributing but it will only be able to distribute when it has a possession itself. The soul first has to attain the truth in the kingdom of the beyond before it can participate in making other souls happy, which consists of spreading and passing on the truth. You humans don’t know how serious the consequences of misguided teachings are in the beyond, because it is your own fault if you are entangled in error …. because you neither desire the pure truth nor do anything to receive it. For it is available to you at all times, and the slightest will to experience the truth will be met by it being conveyed to you in some way. But as long as you don’t muster this will, as long as you feel comfortable in the midst of error or you are indifferent as to what your spiritual knowledge consists of, you will also reject the truth if it is conveyed to you in the form of gifts of grace …. Your earnest will to stand in the pure truth is enough and it will become yours …. Then your thoughts will always be guided such that you will start to doubt and question, that you will pay attention as soon as spiritual enlightenments are conveyed to you, and you will always think the right thoughts because you desire the truth …. For this reason it is easy for every person to attain the truth, because only his own sincere desire needs to be stimulated in order to then also be guaranteed to receive the truth, which he irrevocably still has to gain on earth in order to be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond with a bright spirit, where it is light and clear for him, where he therefore no longer has to fear darkness …. But every error also means darkness …. If you seriously consider that light can only shine where truth is, then you would anxiously chase after the truth in order not to fall into the darkness which every error will one day mean for your soul. For darkness is torment, light alone is bliss …. This is why the disciples of the end time are instructed to take action against all error, because the souls shall one day be spared this darkness. But people must have the will and desire for light, for a state of brightest realization which only truth can offer them …. In their deepest heart people must want to live in truth, because this truth is part of the eternal deity and because error means an eclipse of the spirit, which is only ever backed by God’s adversary. Truth alone is light …. Therefore seek the truth as long as you live on earth, for then it will be far more difficult to attain it when you are surrounded by darkness in the spiritual kingdom, from which you cannot detach yourselves as easily as on earth, where pure truth is repeatedly offered to you, where truth will constantly fight error and can also be recognized as truth by every person who is of good will ….

Amen

The table of the Lord – Communion ….

B.D. 7450 from November 8th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Time and again you receive nourishment for your soul, for it should not go hungry during earthly life, it should not need to starve and be thirsty because I incessantly distribute what it requires for its upkeep and maturation. My table is always set, you can always take Supper with Me which I Myself offer you and which will certainly benefit you …. And if I nourish and refresh you, you will truly receive healthy food which will help your soul to recover, since it is still ailing and requires hearty sustenance in order to regain the strength it possessed in the beginning …. It must be offered the bread of heaven which is the pure Word, it flows forth from Me into infinity and touches every soul which opens itself and is willing to replenish itself at My table …. Anyone who enjoyed this nourishment once, will also have felt its effect, and he will never stop fetching food and drink for himself from a place where it is offered with love: from Me directly, and Who, as your Host, will keep inviting you to My table to receive what I present to you from My hands. And your soul will recover, you will receive strength and light, you will change your nature and take on your original nature again, for you digest My flesh and My blood and therefore correspond to My fundamental nature again …. Flesh and blood are My Word, I Myself Am flesh and blood, I Am the Word of eternity …. Do you now know what it means to take ‘Communion’ with Me, to step up to My table, to eat My flesh and drink My blood? …. Do you know that I want to revitalise you with healthy food in order to strengthen the substance of your soul so that it will become again what it was in the beginning …. a radiatingly perfect being containing My spirit, the spirit of love …. And your soul shall accept this spirit again, it shall become love again and requires the strength to do so, which it receives from My food …. The strength flowing forth from My love shall flow into My created beings again, the soul shall receive this strength when it accepts the heavenly bread, My Word, which is blessed with My strength. For this reason I repeatedly invite you to come to the table of the Lord and let yourselves be fed and refreshed by Me, by your Host, Who loves you and truly wants to bestow upon you the best He has to offer: His Word, nourishment and refreshment for the soul, medicine for its recovery and strength, which incessantly flows forth from My source of strength. All of you …. come to My table, gather around the source, accept from My hand what helps you to become fully mature …. Allow yourselves to be addressed by Me and you will noticeably feel the strength flowing through you, so long as you appeal to Me with all sincerity for food and drink and gratefully accept what you receive. And believe that you are in need of this nourishment, for you are still weak and require strength; you are ailing and need medicine, you can always come to Me and I will give you whatever you need in order to become healthy and mature fully, as long as you live on earth. But do not walk past the source of life I opened up for you …. Listen when I speak to you and think about it …. keep coming back to hear My Word and soon you will no longer want to accept any other food and drink, you will constantly come to My table, you will accept My invitation for Supper and I will offer it to you with all the love a Host can grant to His guest, who will always come to Him in order to replenish themselves ….

Judgement of the receiver ….

B.D. 7451 from November 9th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

And the fact that you read the scriptures with the right understanding can only be achieved by the spirit within you which guides the intellect correctly, which helps it to receive everything correctly and to interpret it in the right sense. For it can only grasp the sense of the letter, but it can also grasp the spiritual sense of the letters, and then the human being’s thinking is guided by the spirit. And so it is with every word which God in His love conveys from above to earth …. He also has to open up the understanding for it to the recipient at the same time, otherwise these words would also be dead and remain so and could not bring the human being any particular blessing. Only the spirit makes the word come alive, and the spirit is the divine power in the human being which rightly directs every divine emanation …. God addresses the human being and at the same time gives him the ability to hold on to the word with his intellect, to think it through and evaluate it …. always provided that the human being has the will to benefit from the divine word …. which, however, can hardly be doubted in a person who hands himself over to God in order to hear His address. But it is only his spiritual property when the human being understands it and can also pass it on to his fellow human being. But this is why an explanation by the human being who has received the word can also be accepted as correct, because God also gives the human being the power of judgement with His word, since it is now his task to stand up for the received word and also to pass it on to his fellow human being in an understandable way if it is not possible to convey the direct words to his fellow human being. The recipient of divine truth will never remain unimpressed by the content itself or not be receptive to it, he will understand it and also be able to make it comprehensible to his fellow human being with clear words, for this is the strength of the divine word, that it …. as being conveyed by the spirit of God …. also appeals to the spirit in the human being which understands everything and thus can also render it comprehensibly. A certain degree of love is necessary in order to be allowed to receive His word as a mediator between God and people, and this degree of love also guarantees the understanding of what he now receives directly as spiritual knowledge …. And thus a wrong rendering of teachings is not to be feared if this also happens orally, because the human being has fully grasped the meaning to whom these revelations have been conveyed. The spirit speaks to the spirit …. i.e., the father-spirit of eternity sends its emanation to the person who opens himself …. Thus he can only receive divine emanations, and this divine emanation truly has the strength to guide the human being’s thinking correctly, so that the spiritual knowledge is understood correctly and also reproduced correctly. On the other hand, outsiders should not allow themselves to be changed by such spiritual teachings, they should not want to explain themselves and thus interfere with their human thinking if they are not likewise enlightened by the spirit of God, but then they will always have the same resistance to add anything to the divine word or to want to change it ….. Only the unawakened spirit gives itself up to such work of ‘editing’ or explaining divine revelations …. For the awakened spirit knows that such is unnecessary and can only ever be detrimental to what God has conveyed to people through His spirit. And therefore you should beware of trying to use your intellect where the divine spirit has spoken, and you will take care that the water of life remains pure as it flowed forth from the source of life …. For that which came forth from God in all purity shall remain unchanged, and it shall not lose its strength but be and remain to every person a true fountain of life forever ….

Amen

Error and truth among humanity ….

B.D. 7452 from November 10th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You have to take a great leap if you want to free yourselves from all error which, spiritually speaking, has ensnared you humans. You all move very little in the truth unless you are taught by the spirit within you which introduces you to the truth, as I have promised you. Yet without spiritual activity little truth can be found; people live in a way of thinking which gives room to much error, because far more error is widespread on earth and few only make an effort to escape it for the sake of pure truth. Even where truth exists it is not recognized as such and therefore not striven for, but any error is gladly accepted without hesitation. And from this you can already see that the masses are mostly addicted to error because they accept it more easily, whereas the number of truth seekers is only small. We are talking here about ‘the truth’ which should fill the human being’s spiritual thinking; we are talking about knowledge which extends over spiritual things and worlds, which cannot be fathomed intellectually and therefore cannot be taught like any other worldly knowledge, which can be transferred from person to person and substantiated with evidence and therefore can also be taught in a school. Everything that can mentally move the human being outside of the earthly remains a matter of the individual’s heart, he can form a picture of it according to his own discretion, whereby heart and intellect have to work together in order to come to a truthful result. For there is a truth which, however, the heart can fathom more than the intellect, although the intellect must also be involved in order to be able to spread the recognized truth as such. But first the heart has to come to terms with it, for only those whose hearts are willing to love will possess the truth …. Love and truth cannot be separated from each other, and this is also the explanation why little truth is to be found amongst humanity, whereas error and lies are far more prevalent. People’s hearts have become so cold, they have little willingness to love and therefore their hearts are devoid of love, and a heart devoid of love is neither able to recognize nor grasp the truth. Such a heart also does not desire truth, which, as divine, contradicts the nature of a person without love …. And thus humanity moves in a thicket of erroneous teachings about its actual purpose, about the beginning and aim of the human being and about its relationship to a God and creator …. No doctrine which corresponds to the truth is accepted, on the other hand many assumptions are made, so that everyone can form a different opinion which he now holds without, however, being inwardly convinced of it. And the spiritual blindness increases the closer it gets to the end; less and less respect is paid to what is conveyed to people as ‘truth’ and more and more access is granted to misguided teachings, and it has become almost impossible to kindle a light by which everyone could warm up and illuminate their darkness …. everything is rejected and only that which belongs to the world is respected, and soon there is no more solution to free people from their dark spiritual state than a total shaking of their thinking through unusual events …. But even these will only be partially successful, for people in darkness don’t want light, and in compulsion they cannot become enlightened. But the light of truth will nevertheless break through one day, only then it will be too late for many who are surprised by the night …. For the light only shines as long as it is day …. And one day night will come upon the people who flee all light ….

Amen

The spiritual spark in man ….

B.D. 7453 from November 11th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You all carry the divine spark within you, which is part of the father-spirit from eternity, the spiritual spark, which only needs to be ignited in order to flare up into a flame which can illuminate and enlighten everything in you. You do not appreciate this divine gift …. that you conceal a portion of the eternal deity within you, which connects you unbreakably with It …. You may have fallen so low, you may have passed through such infinite depths, your being may keep itself so far away from God through its own will …. As a human being you are connected with God precisely through the spiritual spark which everyone contains within himself without distinction of his degree of maturity …. But you may or may not feel this connection, depending on whether you allow this spiritual spark to come to life of your own free will by letting the spark become a flame through a life of love …. You cannot make use of this divine spark within you until the end of your life, then it will rest inactive within you and your earthly life will have been an idle run …. But you can also awaken it to life, and then you will be able to look back on a richly blessed earthly life, even if only in a spiritual sense, for the spirit within you prepares you for life in the kingdom of the beyond, for the life the soul leads when it has left its earthly body. To have awakened the spirit within oneself to life means to have consciously entered into the connection with the father-spirit from eternity; it means to have recognized oneself as a part of God, as a created being which is to return to God as a ‘child’ from Whom it once came forth as a ‘creature’. Furthermore, to have awakened the spirit in oneself to life means that this spirit has opened up knowledge in him, that it became bright in the human being, that he has regained the knowledge he lacked, which was once his share before the fall into the abyss and which the human being must irrevocably regain if he wants to be and remain blissful. For the spirit in the human being is God’s share, and thus the human being will be flooded by light which gives the spiritual spark the right to enlighten him, to instruct him and to introduce him to truth. You humans all have this spiritual spark within you, but how many of you do not respect it and do not give it the right and the opportunity to express itself by walking along devoid of all love. For love is divine, love is union with God, love establishes the bond between the spiritual spark within you and the eternal father-spirit, which cannot express itself to the human being without love, thus it fades away during earthly life without ever having become active in the human being, who passes away without love and therefore has no connection whatsoever with God …. God will never let you go for ever, but you let God go and He does not force you to belong to Him. And thus the separation between you and God is only ever established by your will itself, and your will must also remove it itself. But you will always be helped by God, for His spiritual part rests in you and is always ready to start His work of love for you if only you give Him the opportunity, if you ignite the spark, which only loving activity can achieve. But then you will soon feel God’s strength of love flowing through you, and you will become aware of the divine spirit within you which constantly impels you into loving activity because it wants to remain united with the eternal father-spirit, whose emanation of love is the spirit within you …. And you should prove yourselves worthy of this emanation of love, you should give life to the spirit within you, you should ignite the spark into bright flame through loving activity, and the union with the father-spirit of eternity will bring you unimagined blessings, you will mature in your soul which the spirit now takes into its loving care and it will be able to enter the kingdom of light after its departure from this earth ….

Amen

Deification of Jesus …. incarnation of God ….

B.D. 7454 from November 12th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

No human being will properly understand the problem of God’s incarnation in Jesus who does not know about the ‘deification of the created’, about the aim of all beings which emerged from God’s hand as His ‘creatures’ and are to achieve the aim of becoming His ‘children’ …. which He could not create because free will belongs to the highest perfection and therefore had to be used by the beings themselves in the right direction. God certainly created the beings out of Himself in all perfection, He created images of Himself which He constantly permeated with light and strength and which were therefore also able to create and shape like Him in infinity …. But these beings were His ‘creatures’ …. Beings which could not be other than as they had come forth from the hand of God through His will …. But God wanted ‘children’ …. He wanted beings who, of their own will, were and remained exactly the same as He Himself …. He wanted beings which, as supremely perfect true images, remained in free will, even though they could also direct this free will differently. And He could not create such beings for Himself, He could only direct them in such a way that they themselves now provided the evidence to be and remain true images of God …. All beings also possessed free will as a sign of their perfection, and this meant that it could turn in all directions, that it could also distance itself far away from God as well as remain in His closest proximity …. And this decision of will either resulted in becoming children or in a fall into the abyss, an infinite distance from God which, however, can and will one day lead to unification with Him again and then the beings will also have entered the state of childship to God, which was the first and last aim and purpose of creation. And this ‘childship’ of God is achieved through complete union with Him …. but union with Him through love …. i.e.: As a primordially created being it was constantly permeated by God’s strength of love, through the fall into the abyss it lost this strength of love because it placed itself in opposition to it. Yet as a divine being it also has to be permeated by God’s love, every obstacle which prevents God’s illumination has to be removed, there has to be a direct bond between God and the being so that love can radiate into the being without restraint and thus a unification has taken place between the father and His child …. and now the child has become His image, a God-like being: perfect, just as the father in heaven is perfect …. And thus the man Jesus also had to deify Himself on earth through a life of love so that He could reach the highest aim: To merge completely with the father through love, so that He could ascend to heaven as ‘God’ …. just as, conversely, the eternal deity, i.e. ‘love’, fully and completely fulfilled the external form of a human being, thus becoming ‘human’ Himself for the sake of one purpose: to redeem humanity from eternal death. Only ‘love’ could accomplish such a work of mercy, but love is God. And thus God embodied Himself in a human being, He chose an external form for Himself which was sinless and which, in free will, completely shaped itself into love, i.e., it accepted God within itselfi. And thus the human being Jesus deified Himself through love, and God accomplished the act of salvation, He suffered and died on the cross in order to redeem humanity ….

Jesus, the good Shepherd ….

B.D. 7455 from November 15th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

I will send people your way to whom you shall proclaim the Gospel, yet there will only ever be few who will listen to you and take your words to heart. It is just a small flock which will follow Me, their shepherd, and I will keep this small flock together and won’t allow My sheep’s pen to be broken into and My sheep stolen, for I Am a good shepherd, Who will sacrifice His life for His sheep. All of you who listen to My call as soon as it is voiced belong to My flock ….

And My call is always My Word by which I Myself speak to you from above …. My call is the coaxing call of a good shepherd Who does not want to lose even one small sheep from His flock, and Who speaks Words of love to you in order to hold on to you, in order to warn and admonish you so that you do not get entangled in the snares of the one who wants to steal you from Me. I will indeed let you have free will, and if you roam over wide pastures you will be able to go wherever you want but a good shepherd will follow his flock and look for those who have gone astray, who have left the right path and got stuck in ravines or on heights. A good shepherd will coax and call to let them find their way back to him, so that they will take refuge by pushing close to him and return home with him, where peace and tranquillity will await them at the end of the day and after the long walks through the pastures.

The characteristic of a good shepherd rests in the fact that he will not leave his sheep to their fate when the night sets in …. For so many a small sheep will go astray, it will digress from the right path and get stuck on the heights, it will venture into unfamiliar fields where it can be caught and killed, it will leave the path and lose its flock and the shepherd …. And then a good shepherd will follow and call until he has found it …. And joyfully he will bend down lifting the small sheep onto his arms in order to carry it back to the flock and drive them towards the home enclosure. And thus I, too, will follow all people who had left Me as their good shepherd, who are taking their own paths, who have gone astray in the world and intend to go up in the world …. They are all small sheep who have gone astray, who are particularly close to My heart and whom I dearly want to win back for Myself again, whom I would like to count as My Own and whom I therefore continue to coax and call with My Word, so that they will comply with it and lovingly approach Me again, from Whom they had distanced themselves. And therefore My Word will sound from above time and again, and whoever receives it shall pass it on in the world, for people urgently require My Word, My loving appeal which is intended to call them back home ….

And I truly know who will need My Word, and these are the ones I will send to you so that you will be able to carry out your vineyard work on them, so that you will be able to do labours of love for Me as the good shepherd and also be able to return the little sheep to Me again, which had left the flock and yet shall come back to Me once more because they will not be able to become blessed without Me.

There will not be many more who will be impressed by My Word, rather, most people will refuse to listen to you, for My flock has scattered and has been driven away by the enemy who unlawfully takes those who refuse to surrender of their own free will …. And yet the good shepherd’s coaxing call shall sound time and again, for as soon as they voluntarily turn to Me once more I will also be able to fetch them back and lead them to their home enclosure.

Therefore you, too, shall coax and call when you spread My Gospel throughout the world. Tell people about the good shepherd Who is continually searching for His sheep and wants to place them under His faithful protection …. Tell people that a God of love exists Who is only waiting for them to come to Him in every adversity, Who, like a good shepherd, wants to lift every small sheep onto His arms, Who is offering refuge and protection to it in His presence, so that all human beings will be safe and secure with Him ….

Amen

Voluntarily fulfilling commandments out of love ….

B.D. 7456 from November 15th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Only what you do voluntarily, what love impels you to do, will be a blessing for you. Therefore you will not need a commandment, for love cannot be commanded, and what is practiced as compulsion or duty cannot be judged before God. Thus love is always the decisive factor as to whether and how a work is carried out …. so that even a commandment of duty can be fulfilled out of love, not because it was commanded. How many people are under the pressure of humanly issued commandments …. whose fulfilment is therefore again determined by the measure of love, whether it is a blessing for the soul or not. People who do not need a commandment, who do what is compulsorily demanded of them out of their own accord and in free love for God, are not subject to these commandments but are above them, and only the degree of love in which a so-called ‘commandment’ is fulfilled is ever valued. This is why many people will become blessed through their good faith and their love for God, because love alone is decisive for their will to act. But this should not irritate fellow human beings who lack love, for they will never ever become blessed through the fulfilment of the commandments, they remain worthless before God and do not earn the soul any spiritual progress, they are done completely in vain. But people indulge in a deception which they will bitterly regret one day, for with a little thought they could have come to the mental conclusion themselves to perform worthless ceremonies which were without meaning and purpose for the soul. A heart willing to love will do everything under the impetus of love, and everything will therefore be a blessing for it. And therefore love alone is the standard for its thinking, speaking and acting, love alone creates the connection with God, love alone arouses His pleasure, and love alone reshapes the soul into its original being again, for the purpose of which it dwells on earth. And therefore everything shall be looked at with the eyes of love, and you will have a clear guideline for what God requires of people and when you humans move in right thinking. For where love is everything must be right, because love is God Himself, thus a person who is willing and active in love can always speak of God’s presence and in the presence of God life …. a person’s will, thinking and actions …. must truly be just. For where God is there is also life …. where God is there is no death, and where God is the human being can go his earthly path with peace of mind, it will lead to the right aim: to complete union with the one Who Himself is love from eternity ….

Amen

The divine promise: "Seek ye first the kingdom …."

B.D. 7457 from November 17th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be given unto you ….” I gave you this promise because I knew that the world with all its demands will push itself forward in your earthly life and that there is a great danger that you will forget My kingdom for the sake of the earthly world and not remember your actual purpose of earthly life …. I knew that the world will exert greater influence on you and that you therefore have to be admonished again and again not to forget My kingdom, which is not of this world. And therefore I have given you the promise that everything you earthly need will be given to you if only you first seek My kingdom and its righteousness …. if you first strive to fulfil My will and thus place My kingdom before this earthly world …. Then you shall also be relieved of earthly worry, for then you will fulfil your purpose of earthly life, you will place your soul’s salvation in the foreground and consciously live your existence as a human being, always with a view to Me and My kingdom, which is not of this world. And it is also very easy to understand that you can live carefree through your earthly life if your thoughts are always anchored to Me, if I am closer to you than the world, if you want to do everything and live in accordance with My will, as it is righteous before My eyes. Then you will recognize your father in Me, and then the right relationship will be established between you and Me, and then I will also be able to provide for you as a father provides for his children …. with everything you need for earthly life. And earthly life would truly be easy for you …. But who takes this promise of Mine seriously? Who seriously believes in a ‘divine’ provision, who believes that God also takes care of people in a purely earthly way who give Him priority over the world? Many daily worries would be unnecessary if this promise were respected, if people made it their business to strive for Me and My kingdom …. more spiritually than earthly, for then I will truly provide for all your physical and earthly needs, and no human being will need to suffer hardship who ‘seeks My kingdom and its righteousness ….’ Therefore you should not worry about what you eat and what you drink and wherewith you clothe yourselves, but you should leave this to My care, Who truly knows what you need and what will not harm your spiritual well-being either. Leave everything to Me, your soul and your body, so that I will give them what serves them. For I love you and will truly not withhold anything from My children which they need in order to keep their soul and body in a state which does not become a torment for them but guarantees constant spiritual progress. All I ask in return is that you remember Me and strive to attain My kingdom, which is ‘not of this world’ and can therefore only be believed until it is entered by your soul after your death and becomes a reality. But as long as you stay on earth My kingdom cannot be proven to you. And yet you should seek it with all the strength of your heart …. For your soul feels that it has not yet found its true home on this earth, and therefore it should ‘seek’ its home, it should let its thoughts wander into the area where I am lord and father of the house, and the serious search for My kingdom will also earn it fulfilment, it will long for it spiritually and physically and know itself to be secure in the father’s heart, Who has given it this promise: “Seek My kingdom and its righteousness, everything else will fall to you ….” it will no longer worry about its daily needs if it only believes and trusts, for My word is eternal truth and every promise is fulfilled as well as the conditions I have attached to it are fulfilled …. But anyone who desires the world and does not think about My kingdom, or thinks about it only a little, will also have to worry himself about the preservation of the body, for the promise does not apply to him because he puts the world first and thus is also a slave to the one who is master of this world …. And his worries about the preservation of the body will not cease, they will chain him ever more to the world, and much time will pass until he has overcome the world, if he succeeds at all in separating himself from it during earthly life, that is, in overcoming matter and turning towards the spiritual kingdom. For until he seeks My kingdom with his righteousness he is still a slave to the world, and it will not release him so easily unless his will is exceedingly strong and turns away and the human being reveals that he can only attain beatitude if he seeks My kingdom, which is not of this world ….

Amen

Think often about the hour of death ….

B.D. 7458 from November 18th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

Let it be said to all of you that every day the time you have left until the end is getting shorter …. that the time of grace, in which you can work and create after your own will, will soon be over. All your work and activity should only just relate to the salvation of your souls, you should only consider your souls and put aside all worldly things, for when you take care of your soul’s salvation everything else you require will be given to you, so that you would nevertheless be maintained without your own effort. But your soul’s salvation is in great danger by living your earthly life as you do now …. by only paying attention to worldly things and forgetting that your lifetime will soon be over. You keep going with the wrong attitude and just consider your body, even if you want to present yourselves to the world as ‘Christians’ …. You do not live with Christ, Who is and wants to remain your eternal salvation, but Who can only be united with you if you live a life of love …. You still love yourselves too much, for all you think about is to improve your standard of life; you just try to please your body ….

But do you consider your soul and what it needs to become blessed? After all, you know that you will not stay on earth forever, that you can be called away even tomorrow, and that then only the state of your soul will determine the fate that is awaiting it in the kingdom of the beyond. Then all the things the body had owned and the person will have to leave behind in this world will be worthless. Then all efforts for the sake of the body and its comfort will have been futile, but the soul stands poor and needy at the gate of eternity …. If only you humans would bear the soul’s unhappy state in mind, if only you would seriously think more often about your hour of death, and if only you would believe that the short time of grace you were given as a reprieve in order to change will soon be over ….

Every day can bring riches to your soul if you live fully in the right way, if you do kind deeds, if you radiate love and kindness to your fellow human beings and help where your help is required; if you make contact with your eternal Father in prayer, if you establish the right relationship with Him like a child with its father …. It need not be a sacrifice for you, you can truly lead a God-pleasing life, yet you have to think of Him more often, you should not exclusively spend your thoughts on the world and its demands, you must always realise that everything the world can offer you is transient, but that everything which comes from God will last forever …. And in order to receive something from God which you can keep as a spiritual treasure, you will have to establish a connection with Him and remain in contact through prayer and loving actions …. Not much is asked of you but without this heartfelt bond you will always remain poor, and at the time of death your soul will be very deprived and miserable ….

And yet, it cannot be given anything that it has not acquired itself …. For this reasons you humans can only ever be warned and admonished not to walk through life irresponsibly but always think about the hour of your death, when you have to give account of how you have utilised your earthly life for the benefit of your souls …. Take stock of yourselves, think things over and strive towards the maturity of your soul, and you shall always receive help if only you verify to God your good will of coming closer to Him in order to one day being allowed to stay with Him completely once your soul has become worthy of it ….

Amen

Fight with the sword of the mouth ….

B.D. 7459 from November 19th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

I have promised you My help when you will have to fight with the sword of the mouth …. for I have said: “Do not worry about what you will speak, I will put the words in your mouth ….”, that is, My Spirit within you will speak through you when the time comes. And it will come, for you will have to answer for yourselves as soon as you stand up for Me, as soon as you fight for Me and My kingdom, as soon as you confess My name before all the world. Then you will be called to account and responsibility will be demanded of you, and you will be able to give it without hesitation and without inhibitions, for My spirit will drive you and fill you with strength to openly confess Me and My name before all the world. It will not be difficult for you to speak, for I will put the words into your mouth and they will ignite, they will have an effect like a sword which is used in open battle, and these battles of yours will also be victorious, for people will not be able to say anything back to you because you will strike them with the words I let you speak through your spirit. And this will be necessary in the coming battle of faith where the adversary will try to eradicate all faith in Me in Jesus Christ, where he will try to portray everything as nonsensical or legendary in order to take away the weak faith of those who would very easily succumb to their speeches if they didn’t have you to strengthen them, if they didn’t hear you speak and were astonished by the speeches themselves and their effect. And this will strengthen their weak faith when they realize that you beat the opponents with your words and that they are unable to answer you. But the spirit in you must be able to work which gives your speeches the igniting power, which will visibly strengthen you and let you become victors from the battle of words. And only a thought of Me is enough that I may support you so that your spirit will stir and help you where you would be too weak on your own, for intellect alone cannot master these opponents, My working through the spirit must be allowed to overcome the opponent, and this spirit from Me in you will truly compel you to speak so that you will present yourselves as zealous representatives of My name and cannot be convinced by the opponent that he is in the right. And this shall happen for the sake of the many weak believers who need strong supports to cling to in order to strengthen themselves and offer resistance when the going gets tough. Therefore do not fear the coming battle of faith but trust in My support when you are called to account for your actions, for your work in My vineyard. And I will truly stand by you and ‘put the words in your mouth’ as I have promised you. For there is still hard work to be done and I need all of you to do it, who want to serve Me …. I need you, but I also give you the necessary strength and My support so that you will never be at the adversary’s mercy without My protection and help but will be able to defeat him in every battle of words which will still be fought for the sake of My kingdom ….

Amen

Satan’s work as an angel of light …. (Fatima)

B.D. 7460 from November 21st 1959, taken from Book No. 78

During the last days Satan will fight by any means so that souls will commit themselves to him and go astray. And his trick is to involve them in error, to let them believe that they are on the right path, and yet to entangle their paths such that they do not notice that they will lead into the abyss, because they do not really desire to take the path of ascent. People are satisfied with being told that ‘the path is ascending ….’ but they do not pay attention to it themselves or they would certainly notice that it is descending. And he uses many means for deception, all divert from the truth, all are but a tangle of fraud yet so well camouflaged that a person has to be attentive as not to be taken in by him. And he deems the mother of Jesus to be the best means, which he first puts into the forefront of people so that they, due to their veneration and glorification, forget their real purpose of earthly life: to attain the bond with Jesus Christ Himself, which is the only guarantee for the person’s salvation of soul …. Thus people carry out an apparently righteous act of love for the mother of Jesus, but Satan’s intended result is less love for the divine Redeemer Himself, Who more or less takes second place.

But a lifetime on earth is too short to take detours in order to reach the goal, and people who do not take refuge with Jesus every hour of the day take long diversions …. The contact with Him is so extremely important that it cannot be established often enough, and for this reason alone every glorification of the mother of God means a deviation from the actual objective of life to establish this very contact, on which a person’s salvation of soul depends. And thus it is this bond which God’s adversary tries to prevent by all means, and he succeeds best by turning people’s thoughts towards Mary. He is able to do so through unusual apparitions initiated by himself, but he makes himself visible in the guise of an angel of light to people who are particularly suited to perceive psychic phenomena. Through these apparitions he predicts forthcoming events to people, which he indeed knows will happen, and thus he creates an impression of credibility even though it is a strategy of disguise in order to cause even greater confusion. He will always wrap himself in the cloak of mystery, always making claims about concealed things, always prohibiting public disclosure, because then his fraudulence could be revealed …. He will only ever provide veiled information because he lacks precise knowledge, but in bright moments even he occasionally recognises the seriousness of the times when he himself will also be dealt with ….

But he cannot stop himself from demanding honour and fame, and does this through the mouth of those camouflaged beings of light by demanding the building of churches and altars where homage should be paid to him, because he himself hides behind such apparitions. And the most obvious indication of an anti-spirit rests in the fact that people are demanded to pay homage before the world to those in whose garment darkness keeps itself imperceptible. A heavenly being of light will only ever draw people’s attention to Jesus Christ and mention his act of Salvation, a true being of light will not demand any formalities, no buildings of churches and altars, but encourage people to shape themselves through love into a temple for God, nor will it make concealed suggestions but proclaim what all people should be told: that the end is near and that people should change themselves …. A true being of light will not persuade people to perform formal prayers for hours either, but motivate them to establish a living bond with Jesus Christ, where only and forever salvation is to be found. You humans need not take such events seriously, for they are events which were embellished by people, they happened in a primitive manner and were only later presented as unusual experiences …. A good basis for this was prepared, because the mother-of-God-worship was already too deeply ingrained in people and even minor events caused feverish activity in them and created the foundation to believe in ever more improbable things. But they were by no means divinely-spiritual apparitions which were to reinforce people’s faith in worshiping the mother of God, for it is not her will to distinguish herself from her Son Jesus Christ, instead she will only ever call attention to Him and His act of Salvation, if ever she will make an appearance …. For the human being’s goal is the unification with God in Jesus Christ, which should be aspired to every hour and every day, and this is the true and only path which should be walked on earth ….

Amen

Lot of souls without faith and without love in the hereafter ….

B.D. 7461 from November 22nd 1959, taken from Book No. 78

The souls arrive in the beyond in a terrible condition, which are departed from this earth without any faith and without any love. And there are a great number of them, for until death most people are stuck in self-love and cannot detach themselves from the world. For not all are preceded by a time of suffering before their passing, many are called away in the midst of their work, in the midst of the world and at an age when they are still far from thinking of their end. And then the condition in which people find themselves at the moment applies, which usually reveals little preparation for their souls. And thus their faith is mostly superficial, if one can speak of such at all. They do not think about death and the fate of their souls because they are still in the midst of the world and regard earthly life as an end in itself. And love is just as foreign to them because they only think of themselves or those with whom they are in closest contact …. where therefore a feeling of love naturally exists …. but which cannot be valued in the same way as unselfish love for their neighbour. And the fate of all of them is dreadful when they stand before the gate to eternity, for hardly a little light shines for them, their state is meagre because they have no spiritual goods to show which alone are of value for the kingdom of the beyond. And the souls which suddenly had to depart from earth have no concept of their demise either, they imagine themselves to still be on earth, only transferred to inhospitable regions, and now they can no longer cope with their fate …. They by no means think of the fact that they no longer dwell on earth and only ever seek to put themselves back into the state they lived in during earthly life, often with ruthlessness towards other souls when they are together with those who all have to bear the same fate because they are of the same kind, thus they dwell in darkness in the same spiritual state, equally poor and meagre. They wander about in deep twilight and believe they are wandering through night and fog and await the morning which shall bring them some light again …. and the night will not end because they cannot reach the light until they have changed their attitude, until they have gone within themselves and now also realize that they no longer live on earth, and they now seriously judge themselves, remembering their earthly life which they did not use in the right way. If the souls come to this realization themselves, then it is an act of grace by God Who wants to help those who slowly change their will and reflect on themselves …. Then beings will also step into the path of such souls which will help them further upwards if the soul is willing. But the adversity is great before the soul accomplishes this change of will, and the state of adversity is far greater among the secluded souls than the state of happiness and bliss, because only few people on earth strive to mature their souls with true seriousness of life, because only few people live their existence consciously insofar as they make an effort to live a life of love. The will to be allowed to enter the kingdom of light one day already gives the soul much strength so that it will certainly reach the aim …. But if people don’t indulge in such thoughts, if they live a completely unscrupulous life and only seek to satisfy their physical self, if they don’t entertain any thoughts of their soul’s life after death, they will also enter the kingdom of the beyond in a completely unprepared state, and they can still speak of a great grace if they are afflicted by illnesses before their death and yet their thoughts are preoccupied with their demise and thus they can still be purified and prepared for their entry into the kingdom of the beyond …. The end is near …. For every human being the hour can come suddenly and surprisingly, and therefore every human being should often think about the end, he should not carelessly think it is still far away, but he should always and at every hour familiarize himself with the fact that he has to leave the earth and intimately ask God, to take care of him and enable him to enter the kingdom of light, and God will also give him the strength to prepare himself and to do the work on his soul which is necessary for the entrance into the kingdom where there are no terrors and darkness but only light and bliss …. For God does not want the human being to go to ruin; but the human being is free, he alone determines his fate in eternity, he alone creates the fate which awaits his soul in the spiritual kingdom ….

Amen
