God's will: Fulfilling the commandments of love …. Presence ….
B.D. 8022 from October 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
I am truly present wherever My presence is longed for. For no call passes My ear which arises from a person’s heart, because I want to be closely united with every one of My living creations which once originated from Me. And you shall also become aware of My presence, you shall hear My address at any time when your heart opens to it. And My loving care will only ever admonish and warn you, I will always give you advice, make My will known to you and then kindle a bright light in you when you fulfil My will: I will convey knowledge to you which only I Myself can impart to you. My will, which I make known to you, is only ever the fulfilment of the commandments of love …. Hence the transmission of knowledge, of the eternal truth from Me, is only possible if you live a life of love in accordance with My commandments. And then it is also understandable that you now pass on the knowledge, for your love for Me will prompt you to also give to your fellow human beings what makes you happy yourselves. But they, too, first have to learn about My will, they, too, have to fulfil the commandments of love, otherwise the imparted knowledge will be incomprehensible to them and they will reject it. But anyone who fulfils My will, who endeavours to live a life of love, will also soon feel My presence, for I Myself am love, and “he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ….” You must therefore first understand that you cause Me Myself to be present in you through every work of love, that you draw Me to you when you perform works of love …. that you therefore unite with Me through every work of love …. that the union with Me can only be established through love …. Therefore I preach love to you again and again, and thus you, who pass on My word, should also proclaim the teaching of love first, you should present these two commandments of Mine to your fellow human beings as the most important, because only a life of love according to My will can bring you humans perfection, because only a life of love will lead you to the aim, to unification with Me, which is the final purpose of your earthly existence as a human being. And if you live a life of love you will also always desire My presence, and I will always comply with this desire, after all, My desire is also directed towards unification with you, because I love you from the very beginning. But love seeks unification, which will always take place on My part, yet it has to be striven for on your part, since it was you yourselves who left Me of your own free will and therefore you also have to voluntarily return to Me again. And love will always achieve this …. And even if you say that I keep repeating Myself in My address …. this instruction cannot be given to you often enough, and the effect of a life of love cannot be described to you forcefully enough …. You cannot be warned strongly enough not to go through earthly life without love …. Only love can complete you, only love will ensure your return to Me, and only through love do you cause Me to be and remain present to you …. And My presence truly also means the certainty for you that you will reach your aim while still on earth. For when I am present to you I speak to you, and thus My love also radiates towards you and ignites a bright flame of love in you which constantly flows towards Me, and the unification takes place which is the purpose and aim of your earthly life. Just look for Me in all earnestness and I will truly allow Myself to be found …. And always remain united with Me through loving activity, through heartfelt prayer and constant turning of your thoughts to Me …. And My love will take hold of you and never let go of you again, for you are now My children and will remain so for all eternity ….
Amen

"Knowledge" must be gained ….
B.D. 8023 from October 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
You must all complete the school of the spirit, you must all once be led through the spirit into knowledge, you must all once again be flooded by My light of love, which opens up to you again the knowledge which you had lost through your fall into the depths …. You must be taught, you must be led out of the state of ignorance, of lightlessness, into the state of knowledge …. of knowledge that corresponds to the truth and gives you bright light again about your God and creator, about your relationship to Him and in particular about your earthly task …. Through this training you all have to be led out of darkness, which is your fate as long as My spirit cannot yet work in you. By yourselves you would never make an effort to increase your spiritual knowledge, and there are only a few people who have the desire to receive enlightenment …. But these few will also have their desire satisfied, for they do not resist the spiritual spark within themselves when it wants to express itself. They allow it to influence their thoughts and will then be guided correctly, so that the human being will feel it when the truth is conveyed to him from outside, so that he may accept it …. And it begins to become light in him. Yet the majority of people do not feel the spiritual darkness as oppressive and therefore do not seek the light either. Yet I also occasionally kindle a small light for them which they may use in order to find the right path which will lead them to deeper realization. If they want to take it then they will certainly achieve spiritual gain, but if they extinguish the little light then their earthly path will remain dark and it will not lead to the aim …. For the spiritual darkness consists of the fact that their purpose of earthly life is unknown to them, that they certainly live their earthly life but don’t recognize any spiritual meaning in it and therefore their thoughts are only ever worldly oriented. If their hearts are willing to love then their thoughts will also occasionally concern themselves with the actual purpose of earthly life; they will feel that earthly life alone cannot be significant but that a spiritual purpose must also be connected with it …. Then, therefore, he enters the school of the spirit, he does not hinder the spirit within himself when it seeks to influence him and kindles a light in him …. And now it is possible to send teachings to the human being which come from within and are described by the human being himself as his own thinking but which now has a claim to be regarded as truth. You can only be introduced to the truth by your spirit, or also: I Myself bring you the truth by addressing you through My spirit, regardless of the form in which you hear this address. This usually has to happen mentally, because not every person has prepared himself in such a way that he can hear My voice within himself …. Nevertheless, everything is My spirit’s working if only the human being desires to penetrate spiritual knowledge and then allows himself to be taught. Then My spirit will always be active and impart profound knowledge to him, and then the spiritual darkness which oppresses a person willing to love will also disappear, because it is the state of souls which are still in the adversary’s control …. but the person, through his willingness to love, has already detached himself from him will-wise and who, in his desire for knowledge, turns his will towards Me. A person’s love also guarantees right thinking, it guarantees a certain degree of maturity which then also results in the granting of profound spiritual knowledge …. or also: love awakens the spirit in the human being to life, which now becomes active and works by instructing the person from within …. But knowledge can never be gained in any other way, for whatever is supplied to the human being from outside he will not recognize as truth, as light, as long as the spirit from Me cannot work in him, which introduces you to all truth …. but which is only awakened again through a life of love, but then it comes into action and imparts wonderful knowledge to the human being …. which he originally possessed but had lost due to his apostasy from Me. He must irrevocably regain them if he wants to reach the final perfection and be and remain immeasurably blissful again in My kingdom ….
Amen

Work of God and the adversary in the last days ….
B.D. 8024 from October 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84
I don’t want to lose you to My adversary, and therefore you should only take the path to Me and appeal to Me for protection and help so that you thereby grant Me the right to push him away from you, which, however, I will not do if you still belong to his entourage yourselves, if you don’t yet have the will to detach yourselves from him. For he still has a right to you as long as you don’t resist him, as long as you still acknowledge him as your lord. But he will have lost his right to you immediately if your will is directed towards Me, if you therefore call upon Me for protection and help. And then he will still try to influence you under the cover of piety, he will use cunning and trickery in order not to lose you to Me, but all efforts on his part will be unsuccessful if you desire to become free from him yourselves. His activity in the last days will go so far that he will try to extinguish all light which could show people the path to Me …. he will try to weaken My word, he will try to prevent the bearers of light from fulfilling their tasks, he will cause unrest and confusion wherever he can in order to undermine faith in Me, in order to prevent people from looking for and finding their God and father. And his means are truly satanic, for he disguises himself well and often succeeds in causing confusion where a firm bond with Me has not already brought enlightenment of spirit and he and his activity are recognized. He also knows that he does not have much time left, and he still expects much success in the short time. But anyone who consciously renounces him also enjoys My protection and will not fall into his hands because I prevent this by virtue of My love and My power. Yet I cannot give you humans any supernatural evidence of My might and power so as not to force your faith, which shall apply to Me in complete freedom …. You shall believe in Me and My being, which is love, wisdom and power in itself …. And this faith also secures you My help, My guidance and your release from him …. And My love truly does everything to make it easy for you to gain faith in Me. For where My adversary’s activity appears so obviously I will also take special care of people without, however, necessarily influencing your faith. Yet again and again I touch your hearts, I reveal Myself to you in the most diverse ways …. I speak to you fatefully, (23.10.1961) I try to influence you mentally, I bring you together with people who are in contact with Me, who in conversations testify to Me and My might, to My love and wisdom …. I will always find a way to make you take a stand for Me, and I will make it easy for you to gain faith in Me, because I Myself want you to believe in Me as a perfect being Who created you out of His love …. I want to provide you with evidence of My existence just as My adversary tries to destroy your faith in Me …. And you are truly not defencelessly exposed to his violence …. the measure of My grace which I will still pour out on you in the last days is unlimited, you just have to make use of it yourselves, you have to take advantage of the grace with which I bestow upon you abundantly, and then you will no longer need to fear My adversary either, who is repelled by My presence and to whom My presence in you is also recognizable if you consciously hand yourselves over to Me and appeal to Me for My protection. My adversary will cause much harm in the last days and yet people themselves give him the right to do so because they don’t defend themselves and don’t take refuge in Me. And they would do so if they believed in a God of love, wisdom and might. But they lack faith and that is why the adversary has such great power and uses it in a frightening way. And again and again he will storm against strong walls of faith which, however, will withstand him, behind which My own will find safe shelter and also grant protection to those who are still weak in faith, who will then grow stronger in their faith and thus also testify to My love, wisdom and power ….
Amen

The difference between 'knowledge' and 'realisation' ….
B.D. 8025 from October 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
The degree of realisation corresponds to the soul’s degree of maturity. You should not confuse ‘realisation’ with mere knowledge, for you can acquire the latter intellectually as well; it can also correspond to the truth if you accept it from those who have already attained realisation …. But it need not mean ‘realisation’ for you quite yet, for only when you have reached a certain high degree of love will you be able to penetrate the ‘knowledge’, it will come alive in you, then it will also provide you with insight, and thus you will regain the state which you once voluntarily abandoned by having replaced the light with darkness, thus having lost all realisation. Academic knowledge about Me and My Nature, about the destined purpose of your existence as human beings and about My plan of Salvation concerning the return of the spirits is not sufficient …. for you won’t understand everything as long as you don’t demonstrate the said degree of love which guarantees you an inner light, the working of My spirit within yourselves ….
Yet ‘realisation’ is the sign that the divine attributes, which are buried within yourselves as long as you are devoid of love, are coming through again …. Realisation is light, which you have to regain in order to become blessed, providing you desire light during your earthly existence. For you can also live a loving way of life without experiencing any desire for knowledge; in that case the light of realisation will suddenly permeate you when you discard your earthly body and enter into the spiritual kingdom. A spiritually-awake person, however, must to be able to differentiate between ‘knowledge’ and ‘realisation’ …. He should not equate intellectual knowledge with realisation, but he should also know that true realisation demands a high degree of love and proves that you humans can consider yourselves fortunate if you are introduced to profound knowledge and thereby attain realisation …. The latter already signifies that you are entering your original state, in which you were permeated by light and love, in which you had not yet fallen prey to darkness, but in which you still existed as a human being as long as you were still immature, that is, in which you were still spiritually unenlightened.
I can never please a human being with the light of realisation if he does not exhibit the prerequisite which permits the working of My spirit …. For My Spirit is the part of Me which imparts this realisation to you humans, which makes knowledge accessible to you which you can understand, which makes you happy, which enlightens your spiritual state, which clearly lets you realise all correlations and thus it can be considered to be evidence of an advanced maturity of soul …. True realisation will always be gladdening, and it can never be confused with a mass of knowledge which is not understood because My spirit is as yet unable to work, even though the intellect has accepted this knowledge. In that case it nevertheless remains dead knowledge which is worthless for the maturing of a soul. And then people can only be cautioned not to acquire such knowledge, for a loving way of life is necessary first in order to bring this knowledge alive. Love is necessary, for it stimulates the spirit within the human being to come alive, and only then will it kindle a true light, only then will ‘knowledge’ become ‘realisation’.
Only then will the soul have reached a particular degree of maturity which will lift the spiritual darkness …. only then will it be possible to speak of a light which illuminates the human being from within and gives him clear realisation about all spiritual occurrences, about the very first beginning and the ultimate goal of everything in existence, and about the meaning and purpose of human life on earth …. And as soon as the human being has come to this realisation, as soon as he can understand everything, he will also understand My Nature and fully appreciate My eternal plan of Salvation, for then he will know the correlations, he will see everything brightly and clearly, and then there will be no other goal for him but to achieve his original state again, in which he was happy …. He will wholeheartedly strive towards unification with Me and also achieve it and return to Me, from Whom he once originated ….
Amen

Spiritual low level is the reason for the disintegration ….
B.D. 8026 from October 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
A considerable spiritual decline is noticeable, for people pay little attention to events which happen on the spiritual level …. They just observe worldly events and the effects of these on their physical life, they merely entertain earthly thoughts and have no contact whatsoever with the spiritual world. Rarely, if ever, are their thoughts directed towards the kingdom that is not of this world …. They only believe what they can see and doubt all spiritual happenings. They don’t believe in Me or they would try to make contact with Me, their God and Creator of eternity …. They consider everything spiritual as unreal and thus don’t investigate it, and if they get drawn into conversations about Me by their fellow human beings they don’t want to know and even frankly admit their disbelief. They have no spiritual links because they are held captive by earthly matter and thus by My adversary, to whom they belong and from whom they do not intend to dissociate either.
Hence the considerably low spiritual level, which is the reason for the end of the old earth, the end of a period of Salvation, which requires the disintegration of the earthly creation. For the earth shall be a place of education for the soul which lives on earth embodied as a human being. But the spirit within the human being is no longer taken notice of, the human being considers his earthly life an end in itself and no longer does justice to his actual task, he does not comply with his task on earth. He ignores the spiritual development of his soul …. He lives in complete ignorance of his earthly task and will never gain any knowledge of it either since he refuses to be informed of it. He rejects every explanation or instruction given to him by faithful people and cannot be forced into realisation because this contradicts My love and wisdom ….
And therefore I will use other methods before the end in order to motivate the few, who are not entirely enslaved by My adversary, to make them think …. These methods will, in fact, be very painful because people have to be severely affected by fate in order to come to their senses and take the path to Me. For they will get into serious difficulties in which they can no longer expect earthly help …. And then it will be possible that they will remember the Power Which had created them …. Then it will be possible that they will call to this Power from the bottom of their heart …. And then I will truly hear their call and also answer their prayer, and I will reveal Myself to them through obvious help, through saving them from their adversity. Yet I will take no notice of words merely voiced by the lips …. However, a heartfelt prayer, a prayer in spirit and in truth will be granted by Me, because I still want to gain every soul before the end so that it will not go astray again for an infinitely long time …. People’s spiritual decline is the cause for considerable and harsh strokes of fate which still have to befall humanity in order to change their thoughts, as far as this is at all possible. The fleeting nature of earthly possession will still bring many a person to his senses and prompt him to seriously consider the state of his soul. Yet their will shall always remain free, and they have to take the path to Me entirely uninfluenced …. But their deliverance is guaranteed if they take this path, for it only concerns their soul’s salvation and not their physical well-being ….
It only concerns their acknowledgement of Me, that they believe in Me, which they should demonstrate by their appeal to Me in spirit and in truth …. And they will be saved from ruin, they will be seized by My loving Fatherly hand and wrested from My adversary’s clutches, who has no authority over people’s free will and shall lose his claim on this soul. And every human being will truly be blessed who still professes Me before the end …. who takes refuge with Me in his adversity and then allows himself to be seized by My love. For I will not let him fall, and he will thank Me eternally that I have fought for his soul until the end, that My love left no stone unturned in order to win it forever ….
Amen

Fulfilment of prophecy as proof of truth ….
B.D. 8027 from October 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
There is irrefutable proof of the truth of My proclamations from above, for you will very soon experience My voice sounding loud and mighty, as I have predicted to you for a long time. I have to decide on an unusual revelation so that it will be easy for those of good will to believe, for in the last days everything will be done on My adversary’s part to undermine the faith in Me as a God of love, wisdom and power. From his side I am portrayed as a God of wrath, as a strict judge, as a being which lacks love and is therefore not perfect. And people’s love for Me is diminished by such portrayals, people are given such a distorted image of My nature that they find it difficult to love such a being …. But I woo your love and therefore reveal Myself to you in direct form, I speak to you and inform you of My nature in all truthfulness …. You can still doubt that it is My direct address to you …. Yet you will perceive it as truth if only you want to be instructed in truth. And I will prove Myself to you, after all, even this proof is not yet a compulsion of faith but only a help for the one who is of good will …. What I predicted to you will come to pass very soon, and then you will obviously recognize the power of your God and creator, Who also created you …. You will now know that everything else is truth which I Myself have made known to you through My word …. And then you will also take the path to Me …. You will call upon the being for protection and support, Which so obviously reveals Itself to you, Which proves Its existence to you through Its address and Which thus wants to win you over for Itself. For you humans have to acknowledge Me if your earthly life is not to have been an idle existence …. And you acknowledge Me when you pray to Me in spirit and in truth, when you call upon Me for help in a hardship which you cannot remedy on your own. Everything that still happens or is permitted by Me is only based on My love, on My will to help you, to induce you to recognize Me and thus to conclude your infinitely long process of development from the abyss to the ascent with the success that you have found your way back to Me again, you who once voluntarily separated yourselves from Me …. And because there is not much time left and My adversary uses all arts to keep your souls in the abyss, My influence is also so obvious that you can truly find your way to Me if this is your will …. And therefore I will very soon provide you with the evidence that you stand in the unusual grace of being addressed by Me Myself …. because My prophecies come true which precede the last end, which was also predicted to you through My direct address. I don’t demand anything unusual from you, I take the weakness of your faith into account, I know that it is far more difficult to attain a living faith in the last days; yet whatever can still happen on My part to facilitate your return to Me will also happen, for I love you, My living creations, and I don’t want you to get lost again for an infinitely long time …. I want to help you so that you may still finish your course of development in this period, so that the path through earthly creation is completed for you …. that you find your way to Me, that you acknowledge Me and long for and strive for unification with Me …. And I truly want to make it easy for you to believe in a God and creator Who wants to be your father and therefore expects the love of a child from you in order to be able to take you to His heart again, in order to be able to transfer you back to where you dwelled in the beginning …. in order to make you happy again with His love for all eternity ….
Amen

Recognition of Jesus Christ is recognition of God ….
B.D. 8028 from October 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
People cannot receive enough enlightenment, for they have accepted so much error and are in completely wrong thinking. Had they been properly instructed they could have easily found faith. Yet they are not without fault because they lack the desire for truth, otherwise it could have been offered to them and would also have been accepted by them. And thus they were also insufficiently taught Jesus Christ’s act of salvation, for the reason for it was not given to people so that they did not recognize its great significance and therefore gave up their faith in Him and His act of salvation, indeed, they often even denied His existence because they were not truthfully taught about it. Yet precisely faith in Jesus and His act of salvation is people’s salvation, and it is urgently necessary that they still gain it before the end, before their souls leave the body in order to enter the kingdom of the beyond. If you, My servants on earth, are therefore repeatedly admonished to inform your fellow human beings of the divine redeemer, this also signifies a work of mercy for yourselves, for you know all those in greatest adversity who do not believe in Him and therefore also have no true knowledge of Me, Whom they only have to look for in Jesus Christ as the essential God with Whom they shall establish contact as evidence that they acknowledge Me. Anyone who has the right faith in Me also calls upon Me in Him, in Jesus, Who redeemed the world from sin and death …. Anyone who does not acknowledge Him does not yet recognize Me properly either, although he does not want to deny a ‘Deity’, but he is not yet in the right state of mind or he would be able to believe that Jesus and I are one …. And as soon as it is possible to give people truthful clarification about this it will also be easier for them to believe if their will is good …. This is why I keep sending you, My disciples, to proclaim Jesus Christ’s act of salvation, this is why I keep encouraging you to work diligently in the vineyard, because much depends on it for the salvation of the human being’s soul if he finds Him, if he can gain convinced faith in Him Who sheltered Me Himself as a shell, Who became one with Him and thus accomplished the act of salvation in Jesus …. For I must be acknowledged in Him by every soul which wants to enter the kingdom of light but which will only find entrance into it when its original sin has been redeemed through Jesus Christ, Whom it therefore also has to acknowledge …. You humans don’t know what a great mission the ‘man Jesus’ has accomplished on earth; you don’t know how significant the work of mercy was for all people of the past, the present and the future, but again and again you receive information about it and can be instructed in utmost truth if only you don’t close your mind when it is brought to you by My messengers through the working of My spirit. Again and again I admonish My messengers to convey the truth to you, and I admonish you to accept it, for you must find your way to Jesus Christ …. And if you don’t take the path on earth to Him then you will enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed, and then you will have to remain in wretchedness until you have found Him there …. For without Jesus Christ there is no entrance into the kingdom of light and bliss …. But the supply of pure truth can nevertheless clarify your thinking, and with good will you can muster the right understanding for it, and then you can consider yourselves blessed if you voluntarily take the path to Him, the divine redeemer, if you now attain a living faith because you feel moved to live a life of following Jesus, i.e., to practise love which then also awakens the spirit in you to life …. For truth can enlighten your thinking as long as you are of good will …. The truth can set you free from all darkness, because the truth is from Me, Who is the light from eternity ….

Clarification about the credibility of "revelations" ….
B.D. 8029 from October 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
The spiritual current is certainly always the same which flows down from Me to earth in order to pour into an open vessel, yet the vessels themselves are prepared differently and therefore cannot receive the ray with the same strength, which therefore also signifies a weaker effect of strength of what a person now utters as ‘working of My spirit’ …. provided that it is possible to speak of a working of My spirit …. For you humans must not forget that beings in the kingdom of the beyond also try to divest themselves of their knowledge, that they try to transfer this knowledge to people but are not instructed by Me to teach people …. And you always have to carry out this examination yourselves, which is certainly possible with My support. You should not reject prematurely, you should not accept prematurely …. but you should know that I use every willing vessel in order to make Myself known, because people’s spiritual low level requires it. And I will always first try to encourage people to live a life of love, which is why …. where love is emphasized again and again …. My working cannot be denied. But caution is always advised when certain signs indicate that intellectual thinking switches on and produces intellectual results …. when the human being has knowledge at his disposal which he applies, when he does not draw his knowledge from the original source but from the scriptures, which certainly testify to Me but are not needed when I Myself speak to you humans …. For then you yourselves will no longer be able to distinguish what is My word or what is spiritual knowledge handed down through the scriptures …. I have indeed said that ‘I will remind you of all that I have said to you’ when I walked the earth. But it is then that this word goes to you directly from Me, and truly …. My vocabulary is large …. and I do not constantly repeat Myself because I still have much to say to you and therefore I use every opportunity to instruct you. The intellect must not interfere, and this is the case when you convey alleged ‘assignments’ to your fellow human beings which must not be regarded as revelations on My part …. You then certainly have the will to be of service to Me, yet your thinking and activity is still earthbound; you are moved by thoughts which do not yet testify to a complete absorption in Me, and then you can also easily be influenced by those beings which do not work on My behalf, which are not entitled to a teaching activity, and you yourselves cannot distinguish who expresses himself through you …. I bless everyone who devotes himself to Me, who wants to serve Me and seriously prepares himself to serve Me as a receiving vessel of My spirit …. And I also know about your will to be active for Me. Nevertheless, I also require a serious examination on your part …. I require that you remain in deepest humility and that you seriously only desire the supply of pure truth, which indeed first requires a life of love, because only love kindles the right light in you, in the bright glow of which you will now also only understand that which you previously received as dead knowledge …. thus you will only now attain ‘realization’. After all, I want to instruct you, I want to illuminate your spiritual darkness and this certainly requires the divine teaching of love, the observance of which will kindle a light in you …. but now you also have to let yourselves be enlightened by My light of love, and that means: to increase in wisdom …. in knowledge which corresponds to truth. For it will only ever be a blessing if you receive such truthful knowledge which always requires a life of love. Without love you cannot receive this pure truth or you will not recognize it as such if it is conveyed to you from outside …. “Knowledge’ without love does not exist but then you can only speak of dead knowledge which is of little value to you and therefore need not be striven for …. ‘Wisdom’ can only ever arise from ‘love’, but you humans can only be encouraged to love but never forced to do so. And truly, only I Myself can inform you of this, and therefore you will always be able to recognize My working by the fact that you are introduced to the truth …. that knowledge is made accessible to you which gives you an insight into My nature, into My reign and working and which can therefore be recognized as profound divine wisdom …. For My revelations only ever have the purpose of leading people out of spiritual darkness …. light and to guide people out of their completely ignorant state into the state of realization, which, however, is only ever possible when a vessel surrenders to Me without will and no longer allows its own thoughts to arise within itself. For My spirit must not find any resistance, which, however, is still present when the human will itself determines the direction of its thoughts ….
Amen

Examination of "revelations" ….
B.D. 8030 from November 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 84
In the spiritual kingdom the beings’ degree of maturity is decisive as to whether and to what extent they are allowed to take part in instructing people, i.e. they are authorized to do so by Me …. For the beings in the beyond also participate unlawfully by trying to transfer their wrong thoughts to people, but this can only happen if complete indifference towards the truth enables their influence. For this reason a distinction must always be made between obvious spiritual instructions which reach a person who consciously wants to receive such from the spiritual world and wants to live in truth, and such transmissions from the spiritual kingdom which can arise in the form of thoughts in people who, being still immature themselves, are also exposed to spiritually immature influence and who, above all, lack the desire for truth which would protect them from such influence. The human being determines the degree of truth in which he moves solely through his will …. And therefore it is not easy to separate truth from error, because the human being never knows another person’s spiritual maturity and then it is also difficult for him to deduce the giver of what he represents. But again and again I want to assure you that a right desire for truth also guarantees the reception of truth, that therefore everyone who desires to stand in the truth himself will recognize what does not correspond to the truth. Therefore, if his feelings are unpleasantly touched, if he feels a quiet resistance towards a teaching or spiritual concept, then this is always a quiet warning from Me to accept it, for I Myself place this will of resistance into the heart of a truth-loving person, and he will also soon discover for himself the flimsiness of such teachings which do not stand up to serious scrutiny …. Often enough My adversary is able to sow weeds, and again and again these will find good breeding ground because people lack the seriousness towards truth …. But where this is present people do not overlook the weeds but try to root them out …. And misguided teachings are illuminated as such, for they can never be brought into harmony with the truth which is conveyed to you humans by Me Myself or by My messengers of light. For these are of the same will as Me, they have completely entered into My will, they are full of light and realization …. And therefore they will always be active with Me and in My will, thus they will never have plans and aims other than Mine …. which now also lets you understand that they are initiated into My eternal plan of salvation and also recognize it as exceedingly wise and loving …. Thus they would never try to persuade Me to abandon or change this plan of salvation. After all, they know that endless love, unsurpassable wisdom and strongest power underlie this plan of salvation and that it only ever aims for the unlimited bliss of all My living creations …. And I have to tell you again and again that you humans urgently need the truth, for your thinking very often goes the wrong way, you still imagine Me to be all too human; you apply a wrong standard and believe that you can determine My rule and activity as it suits your wishes …. And thus you also don’t believe in an end according to the plan from eternity …. For if such a plan is fixed, it must one day be carried out as My love and wisdom has recognized it to be right and beneficial since eternity …. For I am unchanging in My nature, and thus My laws cannot change either, and according to these I must and will work, and it will come about as it is proclaimed through word and scripture ….
Amen

Darkness …. Knowledge …. Truth …. Love …. Light ….
B.D. 8031 from November 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84
I will divulge significant knowledge to you if you allow Me to reveal Myself …. for when I lived on earth I gave you the promise that I will guide you into truth …. and that means that I want to convey the knowledge to you so that you will no longer need to live in spiritual darkness, that you will attain the realisation …. if only to a limited extent at first …. which enlightens you about Me Myself and your relationship with Me. You enter the earth as a human being in complete ignorance, and this is a state of spiritual darkness which truly cannot make you happy. And in this darkness you cannot find the path to Me; all the same, you should take this path during your earthly life because the only purpose for earthly existence is your return to Me. Thus the darkness must first be dispelled, small sparks of light must flare up for you …. You must slowly be introduced to the knowledge about your God and Creator and about your origin from Him. You need to be informed about His will and the consequences of fulfilling this will …. You need to find out about the commandments of love for God and your neighbour and know that your salvation depends on your fulfilling them, that this is the purpose and goal of your earthly life or you will never ever be able to return to Me …. Hence you must also know that your God and Creator is a Being Which acts in supreme perfection, Which is love, wisdom and might within Itself …. that this Being imposes requirements upon you during your earthly life and that you must comply with these requirements …. If this knowledge is made accessible to you in all truth it will illuminate your course of life like a light. And then it will be up to each individual person’s will to let this light shine ever more brightly within himself, which will happen by fulfilling My will, by fulfilling the commandments of love …. For ´he that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me and I will manifest myself to him ….´ Then I will be able to broaden the field of his knowledge, I will be able to enlighten him in every way, he need only ever ask Me questions which I will answer for him, either directly or in the form of thought, which are conveyed to him from Me.
He will be able to receive extensive knowledge about Me and My Being, about My reign and activity, about all correlations which explain the origin of Creation, about the meaning and purpose of all works of creation and about the actual task of the human being who lives on earth. Through My revelations I can instruct the human being in detail and provide him with a considerable amount of knowledge so that he will be able to state that he has the right knowledge …. that he has re-kindled the light within him which he himself had extinguished through his apostasy from Me, in which he fell into deepest darkness. And so he will gradually approach his original state again, for the spiritual darkness only occurred through his apostasy and through his return to Me he will become enlightened again. Whether you humans have academic knowledge at your disposal is not decisive for your spiritual state, for it will remain incomprehensible to you even if it corresponds to the truth as long as love has not kindled a light within you which will be able to illuminate you from within, thereby enabling you to recognise the truth as such …. However, you must attain the truth, otherwise you will live your earthly life blindly and be incapable of grasping any correlations. Love grants you the light, that is, if love is in you then you will be in heartfelt contact with Me, and then I Myself will enlighten you and you will not be able to help yourself but think correctly, you will understand everything and you will by no means be ignorant; however, without love you will never be able to be or to become knowledgeable, for only love is the light which guides you into truth …. and without love you will forever remain in darkness ….
Amen

What is love? …. Changing selfish love into neighbourly love ….
B.D. 8032 from November 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
And time and again you are reminded to live a life of love. For love is the strength that redeems you, love is the path which leads to Me, love is My fundamental element, and therefore anyone who lives in love is intimately connected with Me, because he inevitably draws Me, Who is love Himself, close to himself …. But what does it mean to live a life of love in accordance with My will? ….
You should change selfish love, which is your nature at the beginning of your incarnation as a human being, into selfless neighbourly love, that is, you have to change the demanding, wanting-to-own love into selfless, giving, wanting-to-please love, which alone can be called ‘divine love’. For My adversary knew how to change this divine love within you into the opposite, how to instil the desire for anti-divine things, he knew how to arouse longings in you humans which you sought to fulfil; he has lowered selfish love into your heart, and you have to try to change it again during the time of your earthly life into divine, selfless love.
And thus you should practice unselfish neighbourly love; you should think less about yourselves and take a personal interest in your fellow human beings’ fate instead …. You should make people happy and emanate sincere love, for only this love is divine; it is the love which connects us again in time and eternity. For this reason people’s attention should repeatedly be drawn to their earthly task of shaping themselves into love; time and again they should be reminded of My commandments of love, and at the same time they should be informed of the effect a life of love has for the human being’s soul, they should also be given the reason why I require love from people …. it should be explained to them that they had fallen into the abyss because they had rejected My love, because they had left My order, because they had placed themselves outside of My flow of love and thus also turned their nature into the opposite. People have to be instructed of the fact that strength of love also guarantees ‘life’, whereas without love the being is dead albeit it lives an illusive life as a human being …. They should know that they live on earth in order to acquire eternal life for themselves, and that eternal life also requires a degree of love which necessitates a conscious struggle against selfish love. The human being should know that the ‘love’ I want should only ever be understood as the selfless, giving and wanting-to-please love. And if he now aims to change his nature into love he will then also soon experience the effectiveness of divine love …. he will learn to understand everything, he will become enlightened, he will emerge from spiritual darkness, he will arrive at the ‘understanding’, he will be permeated by My spirit and be able to teach, for his inner realisation will give him the ability to transfer it to a fellow human being, although he, too, first must have reached this enlightened spiritual state due to his deeds of love in order to muster the understanding for it …. in order to recognise the conveyed knowledge as truth.
Love has to result in a clear spiritual state, otherwise the fulfilment of My commandment of love will only ever be feigned by words but the evidence will fail to materialise itself. Love comes first, love is the Divine, love is the fire which irrevocably will also radiate light …. Thus wisdom has to be recognisable where true love is practised, so that a person’s reasoning is correct, so that an inner light is kindled within him and he then will also speak with wisdom, because the spirit in him expresses itself, because I Am able to speak through him Myself and My Words are truly light and life and provide evidence of most profound wisdom. And thus the effect of a life of love has to be identifiable, for ‘whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him ….’ and thus My spirit works wherever I can be, and this expresses itself such that you will truly no longer doubt My presence ….
Amen

A forthcoming natural event ….
B.D. 8033 from November 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
In the foreseeable future you will experience the truth of My Word, for I will express Myself through the forces of nature, as I have constantly forewarned …. And you will not be able to ignore My voice, for it will resound powerfully and throw the world into chaos …. Although the region of the event will indeed be limited it will still be of such enormous proportions that everyone will be alarmed once he is informed of it …. For, at first, all communications to the affected areas will be cut off …. An eerie silence will engulf the disaster zone because all contact is lost until the first horror has passed. And then the world will be informed of what has happened, before it receives the news of the disastrous details.
However, people have to be sharply spoken to by Me because they refuse to listen to My gentle voice, because they don’t believe My Word which is sent from above and conveyed to them by My messengers. Hence, I have to express Myself such that My voice cannot be ignored …. And I have to send a judgment on humanity to which many people will fall victim but who may nevertheless receive My love and grace due to their untimely death. And thus you shall recognise the truth of My Word and activate your will, for even after the disaster you can still make a free decision since I force no one to turn to Me …. Yet the appalling natural event can contribute towards people finding their way to Me, because the adversity is extreme and there is no obvious rescue from any side. But what appears to be impossible is possible to Me …. And if a person remembers this and calls upon Me in spirit and in truth he may also experience miraculous help …. I will so manifestly reveal Myself to him, that he will recognise the might and also the love of his God and Creator and then turn to Me in profound faith and humble submission.
Anything that can still bring souls back to Me will be done by Me, but I also know how difficult it is to win them over and therefore extraordinary means of deliverance have to be used, which seem cruel to you humans and yet are only an activity of love on My part in order to save the very souls whose state is known to Me. I don’t want to let them fall into My adversary’s hands, who will provide them with a far worse fate than the greatest earthly suffering could ever manage …. Believe Me, no matter what happens, no matter what is permitted by Me, I Am only ever motivated by My love …. I watch over every person’s fate, no one is too unimportant or too immature for Me, I care for all of you who are presently living on earth as human beings, because I want to help you reach final perfection on earth, because I want to protect you from the fate of a new banishment and only ever want you to turn your thoughts to Me, so that you will escape the final downfall …. to be placed once more into the creations of the new earth.
And irrespective of how disastrous My intervention is for the people of the affected regions …. it is justified by My love for you, for from a spiritual point of view it is just a rescue mission and not an act of condemnation …. Your earthly loss is irrelevant compared to the gain which your souls can achieve …. And if you have to lose your life then you may also depend on My mercy, which provides you with the opportunity in the kingdom of the beyond to become enlightened and to ascend …. For on earth you would, with certainty, have fallen prey to My adversary, and from this I want to protect those of you whom I recognise as still being capable of change. For there is only a short time left before the end, and this end will come soon afterwards. Yet, prior to this I still want to give you a sign, a final admonition and warning which, although it will painfully intervene in untold people’s lives, shall strengthen the faith in My Word, so that they can prepare themselves for the end, which will not take long to follow ….
Amen

The significance of realisation ….
B.D. 8034 from November 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
I will talk to you time and again, My children, for I know that you require My Word which shall give you the strength for your path of earthly life. You should always know that I Am present with you if just one thought from you is touching Me, if you wish to be in contact with Me. And when I Am present with you My strength also has to flow into you. Your soul needs this strength in order to mature fully, and this is why you will always achieve progress if you let Me speak to you …. the light permeating you has to become increasingly brighter, and that also means ever more profound realisation, it means progressive knowledge, it means clarity of thought and a correctly directed will. My speaking to you will guarantee this, for the strength flowing from Me to you has to take effect and thus bear witness of itself in the form of increased wisdom. And all you humans should desire light, you should all try to escape from the spiritual darkness and request more spiritual information. For in what ignorant state did you enter life on earth? …. And although your intellect begins to become active …. can you penetrate spiritual spheres with it? Dense darkness remains in you, and all spiritual concepts remain unresolved and indistinct as long as you don’t feel the desire to receive an explanation. And until you do, the purpose of your earthly life will also remain unknown to you and you will be dead in spirit, despite the fact that you live physically …. And can you be satisfied if you have no knowledge at all about the reason and purpose of your earthly life? Are you content with your lightless existence on this earth with only earthly goals to strive for?
This state of darkness is not a happy state, and you should recognise it as unsatisfactory yourselves and try to receive an inner light, for only then will the unsatisfactory state change, and you will experience inner happiness when you receive the knowledge which explains to you the purpose of your earthly life. You should request such enlightenment and therefore also pay attention to My Words which are given to you by My messengers, if you are not yet able to hear Me directly. You should endeavour to enlarge your spiritual knowledge, for this knowledge is the light which was lacking in you at the beginning of your embodiment but which can be kindled and then shine brightly within your hearts …. For the light is emanated by My spirit, the tiny spark of love which, as part of Me, rests within you and has to be ignited by yourselves through love …. Thus love irrefutably has to result in wisdom …. the result of a life of love irrefutably has to make profound knowledge accessible to you, for the ‘fire of love’ emanates the ‘light of wisdom’ …. Your spiritual state will have to become bright, the spiritual darkness will have to disappear, you will have to become able to recognise all correlations, you will have to learn to understand Myself and My reign and activity, and you will have to be able to offer explanations yourself, because then I can be active in you Myself and thus you will only think, act and speak in accordance with My will ….
The degree of realisation is decisive for the degree of maturity of soul, for I do not speak of dead knowledge which is academically passed on to you, but I speak of living knowledge which is the only meaning of ‘realisation’. I speak about the ‘Wisdom of God’, which can only be gained through love, which can only come to earth through the ‘working of the spirit’ and is received by a heart which allows rays of bright light to enter it because it is full of love …. It is only given by love and only love will receive it …. whereas the same knowledge remains dead knowledge for the person who still lacks love. And you all should endeavour for the light of realisation to illuminate you, for only then will you approach the state of the brightest light again, which made you happy in the beginning and which you all have to reach in order to be happy again ….
Amen

Wrong image of God …. Misguided teachings ….
B.D. 8035 from November 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
What kind of distorted image of My Being do you get when I Am portrayed to you as a God of wrath and vengeance, as a strict judge without mercy, Who only punishes and condemns and never shows mercy …. You can only be fearful of such a God, you will be obedient to him because of fear, you will also observe his commandments only for fear of punishment but you can never love him in the way I want to be loved by you …. Consequently, as long as you are presented with such an image of Myself you are not walking in truth, you are still in spiritual darkness and will hardly achieve your goal to find unification with Me …. Because only love can achieve this, and you can hardly feel love for a Being that is presented to you in such a way. I, however, want to win your love, only your complete trust will do, I want to be recognized by you as a faithful Father Who wants to be closely linked to His children because of love. And that is why you must also have the right image of Me, you have to be given the truth about My Being Which is love, wisdom and power in Itself …. Which is supremely perfect and Which you can love in return when you feel embraced by My love, which eternally is intended for you ….
You can only fear a God who punishes you when you have offended, you cannot love him …. I, however, don’t punish you but only ever help you to escape your sinful state and bestow you with strength and mercy to achieve it. And I will never cast into the abyss what has become sinful, I will never condemn it but always attempt to lift it from the depth because I take pity on it since it has taken the path into the depth itself …. And all methods which I use to lift again what has fallen, what has become sinful, are evidence of My love and not acts of punishment which are incompatible with My infinite love …. You need never believe teachings which portray Me as an avenging and punishing God …. And therefore you may certainly reject the teaching of eternal condemnation because I never condemn a living creation …. but it has desired the depth of its own free will and eternally I only want to release it from the depth again. However, that My justice may not be abolished should explain to you that I cannot give happiness to a being which has voluntarily distanced itself from Me and desired the depth ….
But when you think of Me you should always regard Me as a benevolent, exceedingly affectionate Father Who is always willing to give you His love but Who, due to His perfection, cannot act regardless of eternal order …. Nevertheless, the path to Me is always available to the being …. Even those who have fallen to the lowest point need only longingly stretch their hands out to Me and I will take hold of them and lift them up because My love and My mercy are so great that I overlook every guilt if the being surrenders to Me voluntarily …. Then I can delete the guilt, because for that reason I had shed My blood in the man Jesus, thus the guilt has been paid for as justice demands. And if My Being is described to you in all truthfulness you will not find it difficult to take the path to Me voluntarily ….
But you will give little love to a God Whom you must fear and thus the pure truth has to be given to you …. spiritual knowledge which gives you clear information about Me, your God and Creator, Who wants to be your Father …. Because misguided teachings cannot lead you into happiness. Consequently they have to be denounced since they originate from My adversary who wants to keep you in darkness of spirit …. who will do anything to prevent you from finding your way to Me …. who places fear of Me into the human hearts to stop love from appearing which unites the child with the Father …. I, however, want your love and will therefore repeatedly bring you the truth about Myself and My Being, and you will be happy when you live in the truth ….
Amen

Entrance into the kingdom of light without Jesus Christ? ….
B.D. 8036 from November 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
Your father’s love for His children is unlimited …. And this love will also grant you the requests you present to Me because it wants to make you happy. You should only ever ask and I will answer you. And if it is not possible to address you directly then you will receive an answer through My messengers who serve Me as instruments and whom I can address at any time if they want to hear Me. And thus you shall also receive information if you are moved by the question whether a person can enter the kingdom of light without acknowledging Jesus Christ if his way of life has been led in constant compliance with My commandments of love. Since I embodied Myself in the human being Jesus and thus accomplished the act of salvation in Him, this acknowledgement of Jesus is indispensable because it also results in the acknowledgement of Me, which you once denied Me and thus became apostate to Me. If a person now lives in love, then he is also united with Me through love …. thus he will acknowledge a God and creator and also establish the connection with Him in his thoughts …. he will believe in Me because his way of life, his life of love, has awakened a living faith in him which makes him consciously strive for perfection, for constant union with Me …. And yet, he is still burdened with the original sin which, for the sake of justice, first has to be atoned for in order to be accepted into the kingdom of light again. If the human being knows this and knows that the man Jesus atoned for his guilt with His crucifixion, then his life of love will also let him recognize the significance of the act of salvation and he will take the path to the cross himself in order to release his original sin. And then the gates into the kingdom of light will also be open to him. If the original sin has not yet been redeemed …. which includes the conscious request for forgiveness of sin …. then the spirit in the human being cannot be awakened either, which gives him the brightest knowledge …. For the spiritual darkness still exists, which was the result of the former apostasy from God …. For the spirit within him kindles a bright light for him about the mission of the man Jesus and about His becoming one with Me. The awakening of the spirit is indeed always the effect of a life of love but it is prevented by the human being himself who does not seek to free himself from the darkness imposed on him by the adversary …. because he does not desire the sole truth …. The spirit in the human being does not force a change of thinking, and thinking is still influenced by the adversary as long as the human being is not yet redeemed through Jesus Christ …. because the adversary’s power over his soul has not yet been broken. Yet such people can never go astray because they inwardly profess Me through their God-pleasing way of life, in whatever form and under whatever name I can be imagined to them …. And when they enter the kingdom of the beyond I Myself will meet them in Jesus …. A mighty change takes place in them because I now give their spirit freedom, because My adversary no longer has access to him, even though he is not yet in the kingdom of light …. But he now recognizes his guilt, his wrong thinking, and the request for forgiveness is his deepest inner need, which is also granted to him in view of his way of life and good will …. For all resistance is broken in such a soul, love pushes towards Me as the eternal love, and brightly and clearly lies before those souls the immeasurable work of love and mercy of Jesus Christ, Whom they now recognize as their God and father from eternity and also their original sin is now written in the sand, that the entrance into the kingdom of light is now open for them, which would not be possible without the recognition of Jesus and His act of salvation …. For He and I are one, and Jesus Christ must be acknowledged, which also proves the acknowledgement of Myself ….
Amen

Test all things and keep what is good ….
B.D. 8037 from November 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
The will to serve Me is assessed. Then I will assign to a person the work he is capable of accomplishing and which will always be a blessing for him and his fellow human beings. But they, too, must pay attention to the inner instructions; they may not act according to their own will, which can easily happen if they want to be renowned for their activity and thus very easily endanger their vineyard work. The most profound humility and a feeling of personal inadequacy must always make them take flight to Me, so that they will hand themselves over to Me …. They must only ever strive to fulfil My will, and truly, they will feel My will in their heart and work accordingly. And everyone who wants to be of service to Me must examine himself in order to support Me and My kingdom convincingly …. For the vineyard work consists of sowing good seeds in the field of people’s lives: of proclaiming My Word wherever this is possible. And in order to be able to pass something on, the human must possess it first …. thus he first must accept the seed from Me Myself, and this requires willingness and a certain degree of maturity of soul. Only then will he be able to hear My Word within himself and carry this as the pure Gospel into the world. Where My pure Word can be conveyed to Earth this degree of maturity has been attained; the human being receives the right seeds which he can unhesitatingly spread according to My will …. But it will always be left up to you to scrutinise whether the spiritual knowledge has originated from Me Myself, whether the ‘working of the spirit’ in a person can be spoken of. And your heart must give you the answer, for you will feel when I speak to you, providing you sincerely desire the truth …. providing you want to hear Me. I will always express Myself such that your soul will profit from the information you hear. I will admonish you with kindness and mention My commandments of love, I will caution you not to waste your life, which will always happen if you live without love …. I will enlighten you about your purpose of earthly life …. I will emphasise Jesus’ act of Salvation and advise you to take the path to the cross …. I will dispel your spiritual darkness by kindling a light in you. And that means that I will convey knowledge to you which can only be imparted upon you by My spirit. Make the test as to whether you profit from it spiritually …. whether they are empty Words without meaning which leave you unimpressed, which any person can say, or whether they radiate wisdom …. For every Word which comes forth from Me Myself emanates My love and wisdom and touches the human heart such that it will escape the spiritual darkness, that it will kindle a light in his heart, that the human being will learn to recognise Me Myself in My nature, that he will receive an answer to the inner questions concerning spiritual spheres and which occupy him as a human being.
My spirit will always express itself when I Am able to address a person directly, and this spirit speaks to the spirit within the person, which is part of Me. This Word is received and conveyed by the recipient to his fellow human beings …. This process is something extremely significant; after all, it gives evidence of My presence to you if you hear My Word within you …. And because My Word is blessed with My strength, it will also have a powerful effect on the people to whom My messenger brings it …. But you should not forget that in the end time even this extraordinary activity of love of Mine will be feigned by My well disguised adversary in order to undermine My working …. that he, too, will try to express himself through suitable vessels and that he will be successful if a soul’s state of maturity does not permit My presence as yet but that the person will deem himself called to serve as a vessel, because forces in the beyond instilled such thoughts in him and he accepted them in spiritual arrogance and wrong judgment of his spiritual state. In that case I cannot speak through him; instead, My adversary, who often also hides himself behind My Word, will avail himself of him; for he will go to any length in order to achieve his goal …. to keep people in spiritual darkness. But you must always earnestly conduct this examination by calling upon My support, for you ought to test all things and keep what is good …. And you must always become enlightened; otherwise you cannot speak of a ‘divine’ Word …. And light signifies increased spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth and which only I Myself, the Light of eternity, can convey to you ….
Amen

Outpouring of the spirit before the death on the cross? ….
B.D. 8038 from November 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
You should receive information about everything that moves your thoughts, for lack of clarity can easily lead to wrong thinking, and My own shall always walk in truth and be allowed to enjoy it. Again and again I have to tell you that the working of My spirit in you humans only became possible after My crucifixion because My adversary’s power had not yet been broken before, who had plunged you into spiritual darkness and also kept you in spiritual darkness as long as he still had power over you. This is so easily understandable, for the apostasy from Me resulted in the darkening of the spirit, you rejected My light of love and thus lost all knowledge. Only through this original sin was the kingdom of darkness created, and only Jesus Christ’s death on the cross broke the power of the one who had caused the darkness. My spirit’s working in the human being could therefore only be possible once he had found redemption through Jesus Christ, once he was free from My adversary …. Only then could My light shine into the human being again and illuminate his spirit …. Only then can I Myself work in him through My spirit …. Thus the human being must freely accept the graces of the act of salvation, which necessitates the recognition of the act of salvation and the recognition of Myself in Jesus. Living faith is necessary, for a dead knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation cannot be regarded as ‘faith’ …. The human being must recognize himself as being burdened with guilt, know about his original sin and believe that Jesus suffered for the sake of this guilt and died on the cross in unspeakable pain and torture …. And he must want to belong to those for whom the man Jesus shed His blood on the cross. Living faith in this is indispensable in order to also find the forgiveness of his guilt, which makes the detachment from My adversary and thereby also the working of My spirit possible. The guilt of sin was redeemed through the death on the cross, but before that it burdened the whole of humanity, and no soul entered the kingdom of light before Jesus’ death on the cross, even though people on earth lived a life according to My will …. Yet their stay in the beyond was free from torment and earthly bondage, they lived in harmony and in expectation of Him, of Whom they knew that He would fetch them to Himself into His kingdom of light and bliss …. For the Messiah had been proclaimed to them on earth, and their undoubted faith in Him also earned them the knowledge of His mission …. For they were also joined by beings of light who voluntarily walked the path through the abyss in order to attain childship to God. These beings of light were unburdened by original sin and My spirit was able to work in them because they certainly passed through the darkness but were not at the mercy of My adversary’s power …. And their abundance of light also conveyed to them the knowledge of the coming Messiah, and thus they were also able to influence their fellow human beings and be active for the blessing of those on earth. And these also returned to the kingdom of light after their death, which they had voluntarily left in order to help people on earth and announce the coming redeemer to them, in order to fulfil a prophetic mission which presupposes the working of My spirit and thus could only be fulfilled by those beings of light or by people who were ‘driven’ by My ‘spirit’ …. who had to express what My spirit inwardly impelled them to do …. which, however, is not to be confused with the ‘working of My spirit in the human being’, which was only possible after My crucifixion. Believe Me that everything has to proceed according to the law of eternal order and that the original sin of the once fallen beings was an offence against My eternal order …. that no divine activity is possible in this state if I Myself do not want to violate My law. And this will not happen eternally, for I am and remain eternally unchanging …. But I have always maintained the connection with the dark kingdom through mediators, through people whose souls descended (themselves) from above to earth in order to radiate light on My behalf, and those who accepted the light were also blessed by their earthly life as a human being, and they also acknowledged the divine redeemer in the kingdom of the departed, and they entered the kingdom of light and bliss as redeemed when the work of redemption was accomplished, when the guilt of sin of the whole of humanity was redeemed and the path to Me was now free ….
Amen

Conditions for attaining the truth ….
B.D. 8039 from November 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
And you should always remember that the truth always and forever remains the same. Just as I Myself am unchanging because My nature is supremely perfect, so the truth also remains unchanged, for it belongs to My nature, or also: I am the eternal truth Myself. And thus it may well be possible that you give a different meaning to a truth conveyed to you by Me if you yourselves are still unawakened in spirit …. that you thus distort the truth yourselves and then think erroneously. Yet I will always ensure that the truth will always be guided purely to earth again, and it will only ever depend on your will, on your attitude towards Me and thus also towards the truth, whether you now live in truth. But as long as people intellectually try to fathom that which cannot be proven because it concerns spiritual knowledge, there will also be different opinions about it, and as long as this is the case the ‘absolute’ truth cannot be spoken of, which, however, may be taken possession of by the person who chooses the spiritual path …. the path to Me, Who can and will now introduce you to truth through the spirit, as I have promised …. For it is My will that all of you humans should live in truth. Therefore I will also seize every opportunity to convey it to you. Yet I cannot deviate from the conditions which have to be fulfilled in order to be able to move in truth. A battle is being waged in the spiritual kingdom, a battle of light against darkness, but which the human being himself brings to an end on earth. My adversary once dragged the beings down into darkness because he was devoid of all love …. I, as the eternal love, want to lead you to the light again, because light alone makes you happy, because darkness is an unfortunate state for the being which once emerged from the light …. But since the being voluntarily strived towards darkness it must now, as a human being, voluntarily seek the light …. which therefore means desire for light, desire for truth. Then it confesses to Me that the state of lightlessness is unbearable to it and that it wants to escape this darkness. And this serious will is the guarantee that he will be introduced to truth. And he will not need to use his intellect, his heart will be illuminated from within, he will feel the truth and accept it without any inner resistance. But you humans must also bear in mind that you can only be introduced to the truth by Me.… that you may not exclude Me Myself if you want to possess the truth. For even if the pure truth is conveyed to you by fellow human beings …. you do not recognize it as truth as long as you still keep your distance from Me, as long as you have not yet entered into a bond with Me, because this is also the law of eternity, that truth cannot be thought of without Me …. For I am Truth Itself …. This is why unbelieving people cannot stand in the truth, for their thinking will be confused and erroneous as long as My adversary still controls it, who is where I cannot be …. Hence it is also understandable that the heartfelt bond with Me is necessary in order to be able to work in the human being through My spirit …. which then truly instructs the human being from within in all truth, so that light will arise and the darkness, which is the sign of My adversary’s power, will depart from the human being as long as the human being does not try to liberate himself through a conscious bond with Me. Only truth can ever emanate from Me, but My adversary seeks to undermine it …. And the fact that you now have to settle this battle yourselves will be and remain your earthly task, for you once followed My adversary into the abyss, you voluntarily chose darkness …. you must now also voluntarily strive towards the light again, so that light will truly become yours if you sincerely ask Me for it ….
Amen

Bonding with God …. thoughts …. prayer …. work of love ….
B.D. 8040 from November 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 84
Make contact with Me and I will truly no longer leave you out, I will no longer leave your side, I will guide you to your aim because then I will possess your will which is for Me …. I only want you to turn your thoughts to Him Who created you …. I only want you not to walk thoughtlessly through earthly life and only pay attention to the earthly world …. I want your thoughts to occasionally wander into the kingdom which you cannot see and which cannot be proven to you but which nevertheless exists and is everlasting, whereas the earthly world is a transient kingdom of which you cannot take possession forever. And since you know that you will have to die, that your life in this world will not last forever, you should also think about what will happen to you afterwards, and you should ask yourselves whether you yourselves will also perish completely or whether it will be possible for your actual self to become a living being …. for your soul …. there is a continuation of existence. If you seriously ask this question I will also answer it by giving your thoughts a direction which corresponds to the truth …. For I want to bless every spiritual thought if it is not negatively directed, because I want you to think correctly. But you can also establish the bond with Me through loving activity, even if you don’t consciously acknowledge Me as yet, if your faith in a God Who wants to be your father is still weak or completely lacking …. As soon as you live a life of love your resistance will become weaker and weaker if spiritual knowledge is imparted to you which gives you knowledge of Me, your God and creator, Who seeks contact with you …. Love is the bond which joins us together; love is the light which illuminates your thinking; and love is the strength to be able to live a life according to My will …. And the latter means working in love again, which will inevitably awaken a living faith in you in Me, your God and creator of eternity. Your earthly life will never be an idle one if you unite with Me through thoughts, in prayer or through loving activity. For you shall only establish the bond with Me and you will be saved for time and eternity. For it was you yourselves who loosened this bond with Me and broke it off through your own will ….. But you are unhappy as long as you keep your distance from Me …. But I want your bliss and thus also your return to Me, I want you to unite with Me again …. and then you will also have escaped My adversary’s power, for the will towards Me makes you free from him …. The serious will towards Me also soon earns you a light, and in this light you now also consciously walk the path which leads back into your father’s house. However, anyone who refrains from any bond with Me, who only sees and desires the earthly world, his life will be an idle one, and he will stand on the same level at the end of his earthly life as he stood on at the beginning of his embodiment as a human being …. And there is a great danger that he will not take the path of ascent in the kingdom of the beyond either but will always sink more and more into the abyss and be banished into matter again when a period of redemption comes to an end and the ‘judgment’ comes …. where all spiritual substances will be transferred to where they belong according to their state of maturity …. I want to save all of you humans from this last ‘judgment’, I want to help you to find the path to Me before the end, and I will truly still do everything to inspire your hearts to love, to prompt you to earnest prayer to Me or to turn your thoughts towards the one Who gave you life …. I only want you to remember Me, to call upon Me so that I can take you by the hand, so that I can guide you until the end of your life …. Just seek to establish the bond with Me and truly, you will be saved for time and eternity. But don’t live thoughtlessly into the day, for you only have a very short period of grace left which you should make use of for your soul’s salvation …. I don’t want to lose you, but you have free will …. Direct it correctly and turn it towards Me, and truly, it will only be a blessing for you ….
Amen
