God's power of love must become active ….

B.D. 8217 from July 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I will always be with those who want to serve Me in all sincerity, out of love for Me and their neighbour, and who therefore also want to live in truth in order to be able to render this service to Me: to pass on My word as bearers of truth which guarantees pure truth. Hence they can count on My support at all times, I want to bless them earthly and spiritually and protect them from all attacks by My adversary. Yet time and again he will take action against them and try to undermine the pure truth, and he will find access to people and present them with great error which, however, will not be recognized because the same strong desire for truth does not prevail everywhere, but this is a prerequisite in order to move within the pure truth. And this very battle of darkness against light is constantly waged, for as long as the adversary still has a right to people’s souls because they have not yet completely handed themselves over to Me he will leave no stone unturned to extinguish the light from above and erect blinding lights in its place which will not fail to have an effect either. But the human being’s own free will determines the strength with which the light from above shines and penetrates the heart …. For he must desire light himself, then it will also shine for him …. The original spirits which once fell away from Me chose darkness of their own free will, for they gave up all light, they resisted the influx of My divine light of love. And thus their spirit was darkened, they lost all realization. They stiffened and became incapable of any activity, they lost all mobility and completely hardened in their spiritual substance …. They were once emanated strength of love by Me which was capable of all accomplishments …. and now became impotent, dead beings which, completely hardened, became incapable of all activity and which I therefore reshaped into creations of all kinds, so that the strength now became effective in My will and the frozen spiritual substance slowly came to life again. For only activity is life and activity requires strength, and it is impossible to think of ‘life’ without the supply of strength …. Time and again I explain this to you in order to open up your understanding for the fact that the beings once emanated by Me and My love were, at the bottom of the ground, precisely the strength of love which was now to become active in My will, which had to become effective if the law of divine order was to be fulfilled …. Thus the everlasting influx of My strength of love enabled all My living creations to constantly work and create, because they were created in My image, which carried the same creative spirit and will within themselves and also found happiness in creative activity …. It was precisely the abundance of strength of love which constantly flowed through them which made them become arrogant and awakened the idea in them that they had this great strength at their disposal by themselves, that they did not need a source of strength but drew strength and light from themselves and were therefore completely independent of Me …. And thus they willingly detached themselves from Me and rejected every further supply of My divine strength of love …. They voluntarily severed their bond with Me and strove away from Me towards darkness, because they gave up the light and strength themselves and were now darkened in spirit, i.e. they lost all realization of their origin and their relationship with Me and also lost all abilities they had previously possessed when they were intimately united with Me through the constant irradiation of love on My part. Yet all these original spirits once stood in brightest light, they recognized Me even though I was not visible to them, and thus their fall into the abyss was not the result of a lack of light or strength but an act of spiritual arrogance which My adversary transferred to them when he became an open adversary to Me, when he himself deceived the beings into believing that he was their creator and father and that no higher being existed apart from him …. The beings, however, still had so much light left that they could have recognized Lucifer’s lies and spirit, but they, too, wanted to be free and independent of Me and therefore they followed him into the abyss and fell into ever deeper darkness …. Yet it was their free will and I did not prevent them from falling away from Me, but My love was nevertheless directed towards them and looked for a path by which they should find their way back to Me again …. But in order to do so they first had to surrender to the power of their lord …. My now adversary …. because they were unable to defend themselves against him …. And therefore I let the creation come into being which was to bring about the process of the return of the spirit …. where (in which) I helped the deeply sunk up again to the height where (and) the adversary would no longer have any power over this spiritual …. But once this fallen spiritual being, which is now on the path of return, had to freely decide again for Me or for him …. And for this it had to have free will again and also a little helper …. (the divine spirit spark.) And this I added to it at the beginning of the embodiment in the human being, which now tries to influence the spiritual apostate being …. the soul …. to travel the earthly path in My will in order to once make the right decision …. And this is the meaning and purpose of earthly life as a human being, that the return to Me is accomplished in free will, that the human being is willing to accept My illumination of love, that he opens himself and thus accepts light and strength again and thus accomplishes his last transformation, that he completely shapes himself into love and then has accepted his original nature again, that he has become a spirit of light again, as which I have placed him in infinity, and can now create and shape in strength and light again and thus will also work next to Me in My will, which is also his will, because he has completely given himself to Me and united with Me for eternity ….

Amen

God's love also works in legal order ….

B.D. 8218 from July 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

If My love alone were decisive you would truly all have been redeemed long ago …. Yet My love is also bound to My fundamental law of eternity insofar as its effectiveness presupposes voluntary acceptance …. that every resistance nullifies its effect until this resistance is abandoned, until the law of divine order is fulfilled again through voluntary devotion to Me and My illumination of love can now take place without measure and without limitation, which means return, i.e. union with Me …. i.e. redemption from all form …. I Am indeed supremely powerful and there is no limit for Me, neither of love nor of power …. However, I am also supremely perfect, and this means that I Myself will never step out of the law of eternal order …. that I work contrary to law, which, however, would mean a sudden redemption of My creatures. I can do anything I want …. but I will never want anything that contradicts Me Myself, that is, My highest perfection …. You can never apply human standards and expect Me to circumvent My law of eternity Myself, even if My love is exceedingly great and would like to flow through all of you, My living creations, in order to make you exceedingly blissful …. But bliss also includes fulfilling and fitting into My law of eternal order. And a being would never be completely blissful whose perfection would be questioned because it has not yet completely inserted itself into My law of eternity. For supreme beatitude requires the being’s complete alignment with My fundamental nature, and this is only achieved when love has reached the degree that perfection can be spoken of …. because then the being can be close and closely united with Me for all eternity. And I cannot give this perfection to you …. the beings which once fell away from Me of their own free will …. …. precisely because you still reject it as long as your love has not yet reached that degree …. because you still persist in rejecting My strength of love …. which, in turn, cannot flow towards you against your will. Free will is the characteristic that you are of divine origin. Free will was the cause of your apostasy from Me, and free will has to strive for the change back to love again, the return to Me, and bring it about, but then the effect of My illumination of love can no longer be denied, then you will realize yourselves what strength lies in love and how you ascend higher and higher yourselves, because then your approach to Me as the eternal love will become ever more evident, for then I Myself will be able to work in you through love, and you will constantly increase in light and strength, your being will increasingly return to its original state, it will become again what it was in the beginning when it was emanated by Me in supreme perfection and therefore was also exceedingly blissful …. But then it will have reached its perfection in free will, and you will only realize what this means when you dwell in the kingdom of blissful spirits again, and only then will you understand My infinite love which followed you into the abyss and lifted you up and constantly helped you to reach your final goal: complete unification with Me …. an eternal life in bliss ….

Amen

'Judging' the souls at the end ….

B.D. 8219 from July 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The hour of reckoning will come, the hour when every person will have to justify himself before his Judge …. For order will have to be restored again sooner or later and everyone who has transgressed this eternal order will have to be answerable …. The sentence will be passed in accordance with justice …. Every soul will experience the fate it has prepared for itself; the spiritual essence, which has taken the path through the creations, will be moved to where it belongs in relation to its degree of maturity …. the old creation will be dissolved, i.e. all forms will be reshaped into different kinds of works of creation, and the unredeemed spiritual substance will be placed into these forms either to re-start or to continue the path of salvation, depending on its degree of maturity. At present you humans still do as you want and please, and you are not prevented from doing so, irrespective of how God-opposing your actions are …. But the end will come soon, and you will no longer be able to do as you want, because the time will have passed when you were able to work for your soul’s salvation. For you will not have used the time in accordance with God’s will but strengthened your soul’s cover even more and thereby will have prepared your own fate by becoming increasingly enslaved by matter, and thus you will become matter again yourselves, which you had already long overcome. Yet the law of eternal order will have to be fulfilled again one day. Every spiritual essence, which lived on earth as a human being, will have to receive new forms, since higher development has to continue where it was interrupted …. And the spiritual essence which had failed in its embodiment as a human being has to be given a new opportunity to integrate itself in the process of return …. This could indeed be called an extremely harsh judgement but it only ever corresponds to the human being’s own free will, which he had misused on earth …. with the result that his soul will gain banishment into matter, it will be dissolved again and will have to take the infinitely long path through the creations until it once again enters the stage of a human being ….

One day it will achieve the final goal and leave every external shape behind, but it extends or shortens its own time until it can finally enter the kingdom of light in a redeemed state. And although God is inconceivably merciful and patient and in His love constantly tries to encourage people to make the right decision of will …. one day the time will come to an end and then His righteousness will come to the fore, and He will re-establish the old order which, however, will also signify a ‘judgement of the soul’ …. a transfer into the external form which corresponds to its state of maturity …. And, at the same time, this ‘judgment’ is the end of an earth- or salvation-period …. It will necessitate a destruction of all works of creation on earth which shelter unredeemed spiritual substance that travels along its process of development in a state of compulsion, as well as people who did not use their earthly existence to progress in their development. They, too, will be ‘judged’ …. that is, according to their spiritual maturity they will be placed into hard matter again …. You humans are now facing the end of this old earth, whether this seems credible to you or not …. Time and again your attention will be drawn to this fact in order to improve yourselves before the event and to enter the law of eternal order, which only requires a life of love, for love is a divine principle which you, too, as His living creations, will have to acquire if divine order is to be observed.

You are constantly admonished by seers and prophets, who proclaim this near end to you, to consider your real purpose of earthly life, so that the end will not catch you unawares and you will have to step before God’s judgment seat laden with sin if you have done nothing to fully mature in the final form …. as a human being, even if you are not yet released from your original sin by having taken this guilt under the cross and prayed to Jesus Christ for redemption from it …. Only he can take all guilt from you, and then you can step before God’s judgment seat free of guilt, and you will not have to fear the Last Judgment, then you will be able to exchange your stay on earth with the spiritual kingdom, which is your true home …. You will be able to enter the kingdom of the blissful spirits and neither have to fear the end of the old earth nor new banishment, for the eternal God is not a strict but a righteous Judge, Who will give to you all in accordance with your own will ….Amen
