True servants of God …. Instituted words …. Working of the spirit ….

B.D. 8325 from November 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You, who believe in Me and the working of My spirit within you, receive extraordinary knowledge from Me …. And this knowledge obliges you to communicate with your fellow human beings, for you don’t just receive it for yourselves, you merely act as mediators between Me and people whom I cannot address directly but who urgently require truthful information in order to be able to fulfil their earthly task. Their will to draw closer to their God and Creator again has to be stimulated, and therefore they must be enlightened about Me and their relationship with their God and Creator …. They know about My will and their task on earth …. Only then can they be held to account as to whether and how they make use of their earthly life. They must also be informed of the process of return they are going through themselves and the reasons on which this is based …. For all this knowledge can help people to reflect about themselves and give their presently purely worldly attitude a spiritual outlook so that their pilgrimage across this earth will not remain unsuccessful but result in their return to Me and to supreme bliss, as was destined for them in the very beginning.

This task of distributing the knowledge conveyed to you from above is your most important work, the implementation of which can lead to tremendous blessings …. I Myself will support any task you undertake on My behalf, for the result could be that I will win back countless saved souls which My adversary has to return to Me if it is their own will. And then these souls will have completed a process of development which has lasted for an infinitely long time already …. but which can be prolonged for an infinitely long time again if the human being fails on earth …. I convey to you, My messengers of light, such extensive knowledge as to enable you to carry much light into the spiritual darkness …. And your fellow human beings need only open their hearts and ears in order to partake in a greater than great treasure of grace which you are permitted to unearth because you want to be of service to Me. You shall only ever distribute the bread of heaven and the water of life, the healing strength of which is true wine for your souls …. Then you will be My true disciples to whom I give this instruction just as I gave it to My first disciples when I took the last Supper with them. Although I handed them food for the body they nevertheless knew that My instruction meant the distribution of spiritual food …. they knew that My Words called them to the teaching ministry, that they should carry My Gospel into the world, that they should nourish their fellow human beings’ souls with My Word which they had received from Me and continued to receive through the working of My spirit within them ….

Thus I called these disciples and instructed them to go out into the world …. But this instruction first required them to receive from Me the bread of heaven, the water of life, for they were meant to pass on divine gifts and not human ideas which do not benefit the soul. Thus, as long as these proclaimers of My Word and their successors were called to teach through the working of My spirit within them, they were My representatives, My disciples, and therefore the successors of My first disciples who had received the true Gospel from Me …. And everyone can regard himself as My disciple, as successor of the first disciples whom I had called to the teaching ministry …. in whom My spirit works such that he is introduced from within to extensive knowledge which cannot be intellectually acquired …. And even traditionally adopted spiritual knowledge first necessitates My spirit’s working in the proclaimer so that he can fully understand this spiritual knowledge and pass it on in a way that it will have a truly beneficial effect on those who are being taught ….

Only a spiritually awakened proclaimer of My Word is a true successor to My disciples …. and not those preachers who decided for themselves to make it their career and who believe that they can academically acquire the knowledge with which they then want to work in My vineyard …. These labourers are unsuitable for they have to wait until I call them Myself, prior to this they cannot work properly in My vineyard because I Myself want to work through My spirit in those who are active for Me and My kingdom. And neither can this calling come from fellow human beings, from someone who, in turn, has also taken up his office without an inner calling, who was also made a ‘servant of God’ by his fellow men …. This teaching ministry carries so much responsibility that it truly also requires the qualifications for it and human will or human action can never suffice to confer such an office …. I descended to earth Myself in order to bring My Word to humanity, the knowledge which corresponds to the truth, which grants complete enlightenment and returns a person into a state of realisation which was his share before his apostasy from God …. I brought this Word to people Myself and …. since I was only able to stay for a limited period of time on earth …. chose suitable vessels for Myself whom I filled with My flow of spirit, whom I instructed Myself and …. since they lived a life of love …. to whom I also promised the working of My spirit while they carried out My instructions ….

And you humans know that due to people’s free will the purest truth can be spoilt if the conditions no longer exist which permit the working of My spirit …. Do you really believe that all people who claim to be My ‘representatives on earth’, who claim to be the successors of My first disciples, displayed the prerequisites which enabled the working of My spirit? And thus the pure truth was no longer guaranteed, for a person who has not shaped himself into a vessel for My spirit can be easily influenced by My adversary, whose sole intention is to always undermine My pure truth …. This is why countless misguided teachings were able to assert themselves without being recognised by them as such …. For wherever My spirit is as yet unable to work darkness still prevails, for only My spirit ignites the light in the human being, for My spiritual spark is love, and love is also light and strength ….

As the divine spark of love in the human being …. the spark of God’s spirit …. unites with the eternal Father-Spirit a bright light has to shine which no error can endure, because it will be exposed and refuted by the truth from Me, Who will only ever support the pure truth and make it accessible to you humans …. Understand that this was the real meaning of My last Supper with My disciples, that they thus received the instruction to bring the pure truth to people and at the same time mention My act of Salvation and My human manifestation in Jesus, therefore I said: Do this in remembrance of Me …. For only by proclaiming the pure Gospel was it also possible to provide people with the knowledge of My act of Salvation …. And since this knowledge is extremely important I mentioned it with the above Words, for all people who want to become blessed should remember Me …. But as long as precisely these ‘instituted’ words are misunderstood and associated with a completely senseless action there is still profound spiritual darkness in people …. And this I why I now instruct My last disciples again to carry My Word into the world, the pure truth which I was able to convey to them through My spirit ‘which effectually worketh also in you that believe’ ….

Amen

State of weakness …. love gives strength ….

B.D. 8326 from November 11th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You should never believe that I will withdraw My love from you if you have failed, for I know about your weakness, I know about the afflictions you are exposed to on My adversary’s part and I also know about your will which is devoted to Me. And therefore I will only ever help you up when you have fallen, but I will never pass you by without having granted you support. Time and again you will get into difficulties, time and again the enemy of your soul will try his hand at you, and your resistance will always flag, even if it is only for a short time, for since your will is meant for Me you will also confess your weakness and call upon Me for help. And you can be sure of it …. you will also no longer consciously sin because you want to belong to Me and have also manifested this to Me through your inner attitude towards Me, yet time and again you will fall into states of weakness, for My adversary knows exactly where you are still vulnerable and he always attacks you there …. He takes advantage of your weakness and wants to tempt you into sin …. Therefore you should always be vigilant and pray for strength so that you will not fall in hours of temptation …. Yet you need not fear the enemy, for as soon as you stand by My side he will no longer be able to control you, for I am truly stronger than he is and I will protect you as soon as you desire My protection. But earthly life will remain a battle for every human being until the end because he is not yet perfect, for My adversary will not give up struggling for your souls for that long either. But anyone who has once given himself to Me can also be certain of My constant protection. And no matter how persistently he will exert his influence …. I will pour out My grace to the same extent and influence people with My love who want to escape him and his power …. It is only ever a matter of your free will which lord it turns to. And as soon as you believe in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation you need only call upon Him to strengthen your will, and truly …. the adversary will lose, you yourselves will emerge victorious from the battle waged for your soul. But without a fight your earthly course would also be unsuccessful …. Unless love is so brightly kindled in you that you are constantly of service, that you then have already reached a high degree of maturity which pushes the adversary away from you, for service with love is the only means from which he flees, because it spreads a bright glow of light in which his evil activity is recognisable. The human being must serve or fight until the end of his life …. Serving with love will make him happy himself, for it will earn him an abundance of strength …. But the fight requires strength, and this he must request from Me or acquire again through loving activity. And if you now stand in love then you will no longer fall into states of weakness in which you succumb to the enemy of your souls, in which you become sinful …. where you stumble and can easily fall. Therefore only ever make an effort to live a life of love and all weakness will leave you so that you will be able to resist all temptations of the adversary and only fulfil My will. For through your activity of love you draw Me to yourselves, and where I am My adversary has lost all right and all power ….

Amen

The soul's union with its spirit ….

B.D. 8327 from November 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I reveal Myself to you humans in the most simple and understandable way, for My Words are not solely intended for the intellectual person but for all who desire the truth, even if they do not possess a keen intellect. However, I speak to them in a way that they can understand and therefore I avail Myself of a plainly spoken person, who can also be understood by everyone when he speaks to them from person to person, because then I will work through My spirit if he takes part in spiritual conversations …. When My Word is therefore conveyed to Earth it also happens in a way that the contents of My revelations are clear and understandable. And thus every person will be able to understand that the process of the spirits apostasy consisted of the fact that they rejected My illumination of love, My ‘spirit of love’ …. and that the return to Me also consists of the fact that they will voluntarily accept My illumination of love again …. that they thus must unite themselves with My spirit once more. The union with My spirit takes place when the divine spark of love, which is placed into every person as My share, gets kindled into a bright flame which incessantly strives towards Me, the Primal Fire …. Then the fallen original spirit will have become its fundamental element again, and this consciously …. For even after its apostasy from Me it remained My strength because My emanated strength of love cannot cease to exist …. Hence the return to Me can only be achieved consciously and this requires free will, which is returned again to the previously constrained being as a human who must subsequently use it correctly …. The original being certainly takes the path of return in an unconscious state …. dissolved in countless tiny particles …. while it is bound within the creations of earth. This return is an act of grace on My part, because I want to help the extremely deeply fallen being to reach the point again when it can receive its free will back. But then the unity of the spiritual spark with the eternal Father-Spirit must take place if the final return is to be accomplished.

The original spirit, which travels the earthly path as a human soul, will remain distant from Me for as long as the human being is without love, for I have also given him a spark of love which he must first ignite before a union with the Father-Spirit can be accomplished, for only love can achieve this union, and love must voluntarily be practised by a person, which also makes the illumination of My strength of love possible and the being becomes again what it was in the beginning …. The soul is a fallen original spirit …. Consequently, when it is said that the soul unites with its spirit, then the latter should always be understood as the spirit of love from Me, which the original spirit once rejected and thereby closed itself to all illumination of love …. As a human being the soul …. the once fallen original spirit …. carries a tiny spark of divine spirit within itself, but it must voluntarily acknowledge it, which it consciously does when it opens itself to My illumination of love and thereby becomes lovingly active itself …. Thus it has the spirit within itself and it is its earthly task to let itself be influenced by this spirit, which will always result in the fact that the person will practise love and through love unite with Me, since I Am the Eternal love Itself. Hence the soul unites itself again with its spirit …. The original spirit no longer reacts negatively towards Me and My illumination of love, instead, it consciously strives towards Me, it wants to be illuminated by Me and every distance between us is abolished …. It is the same divine original being again which originated from Me and after its voluntary apostasy also voluntarily returned to Me again, except that it has become My ‘child’, which I was unable to create because it required the created beings free will to become supremely perfect. Thus it deified itself voluntarily and can now create and work with Me in supreme beatitude and free will which, however, is the same as Mine, because a perfect being cannot want and think differently than I, as I Am the most perfect spirit in infinity ….

Amen

God’s ceaseless help on the earthly path ….

B.D. 8328 from November 13th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I forever want to bestow My gifts on you because My love knows no limits …. And if a person consents to My direct action in himself then it is also his will to receive My gifts, then it does not amount to compulsory faith since he opens himself to My gift of grace because he believes in Me …. But I cannot work openly where this faith is absent, therefore no human being will hear My voice if he does not enter into conscious contact with Me due to his living faith as a result of love …. I want to give people whatever they need, be they spiritual or worldly possessions, for as long as My living creations are still imperfect they require constant support to accomplish perfection; and for as long as they live on earth as human beings they also need earthly support in every sense. But only I know to what extent ….

I know the state of the soul’s maturity and thus I also know what it needs to mature …. But I also know of its earthly needs, I know what can be useful for the soul and what causes it harm and I give to everyone according to his nature …. because not all human beings have the same nature. Due to your pre-existence, due to your development through the creation, every soul has shaped itself differently, thus I have to take care of everyone individually in order to give him what he needs …. Even earthly I have to consider you differently since your soul’s condition necessitates this. You all need My particular care, therefore you should believe that everyone’s spiritual success, which I intend to advance by using the right means, is close to My heart …. My love wants to guide you into highest maturity because I want and can make you infinitely happy in My kingdom.

Since you voluntarily turned away from Me some time ago, and thus your imperfect state is your own fault, everything you receive is a means of grace. My love will not cease until you are united with Me again because you came from My love and will irrevocably return to Me again one day. But you can be certain that My means of grace will be successful, just don’t resist them, you should not close yourselves to My love by opposing Me, by giving yourselves to My adversary who will use any means to prevent your return to Me …. I require of you a conscious change towards Me which simultaneously means a turning away from My adversary …. But then My love will take hold of you and will never let you fall again ….

However, if you have no room for thoughts of Me in your hearts then it belongs to My adversary, and then it is only filled with worldly thoughts, with earthly wishes, with all kinds of lust, and then he has taken complete ownership of your (hearts) soul and can only be cast out with great difficulty. Although My love will persistently attempt to bring about a change of your will with all manner of strokes of fate, you must always fight for yourselves to change the direction of your nature. And you cannot be forced to do so, thus I cannot talk to you directly, because such a communication would amount to a compulsion of faith and will. You have to take the path to Me voluntarily and truly, you will find helpers everywhere to ease your path and carry a light ahead of you so that you may know the way. And then I will accompany you Myself, I will offer Myself as your guide and you will be blessed if you accept My guidance and completely surrender yourselves to Me …. Admittedly, I will guide you away from the world but you won’t look back, you will no longer desire the realm you have left voluntarily, instead your eyes will be directed upwards and only seek one goal, Myself …. And you worldly people can believe that I will fight for your souls and pursue you with the same care, that I will cross your path time and again because I don’t want to lose you, I want to direct your mind towards spiritual possessions which are eternally unchanging, and therefore I want to open your eyes to the fleeting nature of the world …. You still have a short time during which My love and grace pursues you, as long as you don’t resist Me you will be blessed with My love and grace …. And I will talk to you time and again through My servants, I will give you a most effective means of grace if you don’t oppose Me and consciously accept My grace ….

Amen

Great spiritual need in the end times ….

B.D. 8329 from November 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You must not be surprised at the confused views of people in the last time before the end …. no matter in which field …. My adversary rules everywhere, and he influences the thinking of those who are not completely firmly united with Me. But My own will ask themselves how it is possible that such wrong thinking has set in amongst humanity, for they are guided by Me Myself in their thinking and therefore cannot understand the direction of humanity’s thoughts, because they have little faith and go their way alone without Me …. and therefore My adversary can join them. Earthly and spiritually people have turned away from truth, from natural feeling and from everything good and beautiful …. In contrast, they pay homage to the world in the most blatant form, i.e. they distort everything and have lost all feeling for what is right and good …. And spiritually they are in deepest darkness, they know nothing about spiritual correlations, about their God and creator and their task in life on earth and desire to know nothing about it either. They live in a completely wrong direction of will and therefore give My adversary unrestricted power which he uses in the most evil way. And help is impossible as long as the desire to gain clarity in all things does not arise in them. This desire must arise from them in the realisation that the world and its goods are transient and that their life cannot only be an end in itself but must be a means to an end. They can gain this realisation as soon as they have lived themselves out, as it were, as soon as they have enjoyed earthly what seemed desirable to them …. Hours of inner reflection can come which make the life they have lived so far seem stale and absurd, and then it is possible that they will undergo a change, that they will be accessible to the speeches of fellow human beings who walk the right path and try to convince them that their path is the right one. And people should take pity on the spiritual hardship of their fellow human beings and intercede for them ….. For such prayers do not go unheard. Yet for the most part the adversary retains his power over such people, and the spiritual hardship becomes increasingly more threatening and also causes the transformation of this earth …. For as soon as the spiritual low point is reached a destruction of the old earth with all its creations is also justified, a total transformation of everything that contains immature spiritual substances for the purpose of ascent development. Before the end of a redemption period this disinherited state will always be amongst people because many people will walk across the earth at that time who still harbour much immature spiritual within themselves but whose time has expired, which was granted to them for release from the form. These people can reach maturity in the time until the end but they have to give up their resistance against Me, they have to change their will and turn towards Me …. Yet they lack faith in Me as God and creator Who can and will give them strength …. But without such they are too weak …. But they are constantly pointed to the power which gave them life, both through My word, which also reaches these people at times, and through their experience, their own fate and that of their fellow human beings …. For I reveal Myself to all people who only think about what earthly life gives them …. The human being is completely free to think, he is certainly influenced by My adversary or also by the forces of light, but he is not forced to think in the same direction as those. But as long as the human being possesses the ability to think on My part he also has to answer for how he has used his earthly life, for everything is done on My part to stimulate his thinking …. (11/16/1962) And therefore it is also possible for such people to reach maturity on earth which allows them to enter the kingdom of light …. who enter this earth in a still very immature state …. They may be of whatever nature they want, it is not impossible for them to change and reach perfection, because My grace flows to everyone in an unusual way and only needs to be utilised …. And I even take a very weak will into account by letting such people get into situations where their resistance decreases and it could be easy for them to turn to Me …. I use every means which still promises success so that the soul will not fall into the lot of new banishment …. But I must leave them the last freedom. And it is a great mercy if they are prematurely recalled from earthly life, because then they will no longer be able to fall deeper on earth and everything will truly be tried in the kingdom of the beyond to protect them from a further fall into the abyss. But then they will still stay close to earth, and they can also follow the fate of many people on earth who were close to them in earthly life …. They can also still think in the spiritual world, even if they are often confused, but time and again they are granted assistance by the beings of light which present themselves to them in the same garment. who join them in the same garb …. and talk to them …. Every effort is made to bring the souls on the path of ascent, always without compulsion of will but with loving care, which is sometimes also recognised and gratefully accepted …. But as soon as this period of redemption comes to an end the gates into the spiritual kingdom are closed, i.e. the separation of the goats and sheep has already taken place on earth …. Only those people remain who are faithful to Me and will be raptured to the new earth …. But the others are My adversary’s followers, and they also share My adversary’s fate …. They will be bound again for an infinitely long time. And therefore you should not pity the people who are called out of life, for there is still an improvement to be achieved in them, they have not completely fallen prey to My adversary, even though they can still sink in the kingdom of the beyond, whereas those who stay behind certainly still have the opportunity to turn back until the end and will then also be saved from the downfall, but they will make little use of this opportunity and therefore face a dreadful fate. And you will also be allowed to regard the departure of your loved ones beforehand as an act of grace on My part, and as soon as you let loving thoughts and intercession follow them you will no longer need to fear that they will be lost …. These assurances on My part shall always comfort you and explain all strokes of fate, misfortunes and disasters where many people lose their lives …. For I want to reduce the number of the wretched who experience a new banishment as far as this is possible …. For it will be very high, after all, My adversary is active in the end in such a way that he has and retains a large following. Yet one thing is certain, that every single soul will be fought for on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom, that everything will be done to guide people onto the right path and to provide assistance to the departed souls …. For all shall attain beatitude ….

Amen

Call of the shepherd …. great spiritual need ….

B.D. 8330 from November 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Only a few listen to My voice that sounds from above …. It is only a small flock that I can gather in the end and lead home into a better world …. be it on earth or in the spiritual kingdom …. And that is why I still pursue each individual soul to the end and entice and call it to find its way back to Me …. As a good shepherd I seek to save all sheep that are in danger of falling, that have lost their way and can hardly manage the path alone. I will leave none of My sheep without help and do everything to free them from the clutches of My adversary who broke into My flock, drove them apart and wants to prevent them from finding their way back to their shepherd …. And anyone who heeds My calls and follows them will also be protected by My strong arm from these attacks. And therefore My voice will always and forever sound and everyone will be able to hear it, for since there is dense darkness they must first hear My call and follow it, then it will also soon become brighter, they will attain light and freedom, for I am truly a good shepherd Who has prepared a home for all His little sheep where they feel at ease …. I want to lead people to beatitude, I want them to find their way home into their father’s house, and therefore I speak to them time and again from above. People need much help in the last days before the end because they are weak and constantly threatened by the enemy of their souls. Yet how few accept the help which their father of eternity wants to give them …. How few listen to Me and follow My words …. And no matter how unusually I appear, they pay no attention to it and force Me to use means which affect them painfully but which nevertheless can still be successful and therefore can also be regarded as proof of love on My part …. Then, too, only a few will find the path to Me, yet for the sake of these few I will leave no stone unturned, for they will be saved from the dreadful fate of a new banishment, and only I know what that means …. The spiritual adversity on earth is immense, and it is this that prompts Me to intervene, which is imminent for you humans. Believe these announcements of Mine and prepare yourselves by establishing contact with Me through thoughts or heartfelt prayer …. For as soon as you have established the bond with Me you can no longer get lost, even if your degree of maturity is still low, but you have acknowledged Me Myself and then you need no longer fear the fate of a new banishment …. and even if you lose your earthly life I can still accept you into the spiritual kingdom where you can still ascend. Then you will have followed your shepherd’s call and returned to Him, and My adversary will have had to release you, for as soon as your free will acknowledges Me you will no longer reject Jesus Christ’s act of salvation if it is truthfully explained and substantiated to you, and you will take the path to the cross, even if it only happens in the kingdom of the beyond, but redemption is nevertheless assured to you. Only call upon Me in great adversity when My voice sounds to you from above, which expresses itself through the forces of nature …. Call upon Me so that you will not be lost again for an infinitely long time. But before that I will guide My word wherever there is still a willing soul which recognises My voice as the ‘voice of the father’, and everything possible will happen to save souls from ruin who are only willing, who give up their resistance against Me and allow themselves to be taken hold of by Me and My love …. For I truly take no pleasure in prolonging My living creations’ path of suffering, I only ever want to provide beatitude and help all My living creations to become blissfully happy. And therefore I only want people to experience My nature, which is love, wisdom and might …. that they trustingly turn to Me in every earthly or spiritual adversity so that they can prove their will to Me and I can help them …. And therefore I will speak to people until the end, I will not stop warning and admonishing them, I will call and entice My sheep, for I am truly a good shepherd Who will gather His small flock before the end comes ….

Amen

Jesus lived life for the people ….

B.D. 8331 from November 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

The life of the man Jesus on earth was a continuous service of love, for He wanted to give people an example of a right way of life in order to induce them to follow Him and thus also to receive the blessing of the effects of a life of love …. He Himself was filled with love, for He brought love with Him from the kingdom of light from which His soul had descended to earth …. He was not burdened with the original sin which consisted of the beings completely renouncing their love, that they rejected their father’s illumination of love from eternity …. He was most intimately united with the father, and thus He also constantly received His illumination of love and therefore brought love with Him to earth …. And by virtue of His love He also knew what lack of love meant for people …. He knew that they were darkened in spirit without love and that they were therefore completely enslaved by the one who, devoid of all love, ruled them and caused them to act in a way that was contrary to God …. And He took pity on this great misery of people …. He drew all people into His sphere of love and served them by taking care of all earthly needs of those around Him, by healing their sick and freeing them from their weaknesses and infirmities …. And He also took care of the spiritual hardship by teaching and trying to introduce people to the truth in order to dispel the darkness from them …. to enlighten them that they could only return to God through love again …. For He knew that He would accomplish the act of salvation for humanity in order to make the fallen brothers’ return to God possible again, which could never have taken place without His death on the cross as the redemption of the original sin. Yet the act of salvation could only be successful for people if they now also lived a life of love, because only through this could they regain their original nature …. because only love made it possible to approach God as the eternal love …. This is why He taught constantly and the content of His gospel consisted of the divine teaching of love …. the commandments of love for God and love for one’s neighbour …. which His disciples were then also to spread throughout the world …. Therefore you people should walk the path of following Jesus …. You should live a life of love but also patiently accept a measure of suffering. For Jesus’ earthly path was unspeakably sorrowful and He already knew beforehand what great suffering awaited Him and yet walked this path of His own free will …. For He had come to earth to make an immense atonement to the father for His fallen brothers. This guilt of sin could only be redeemed by an unusual path of suffering, and this was truly walked by the man Jesus …. Yet the love within Him also gave Him the strength to do so …. He was filled with divine love, His body contained eternal love itself …. And thus He also constantly drew the strength from it which enabled Him to accomplish the act of salvation. God Himself was in Him, His soul was a soul of light, and only the body belonged to earth which still contained immature substances but which the man Jesus spiritualised through His life of love and finally through His suffering and death on the cross …. Thus He exemplified to people the life which all people can lead with His help, i.e. as soon as they are redeemed through Jesus Christ and have found forgiveness of their sin …. For without this redemption they are too weak to live as followers of Jesus, they will neither practise love nor be willing to bear suffering because the original guilt still weighs them down and thus they are under the influence of the adversary who caused their fall into the abyss …. But anyone who is willing to take the path of following Jesus also acknowledges Him as the divine redeemer, and he has carried his guilt under the cross, he asks Him to strengthen his will, for he will make use of the blessings which the man Jesus acquired for him through His death on the cross. And his soul will also mature through love and suffering …. It will …. as being rid of its original sin …. will now also be able to cast off all dross, which love and suffering bring about …. For Jesus did not speak the words in vain: Take up your cross and follow Me …. He went before you as the bearer of the cross, and you are to follow Him. He took the strength for His walk on the cross from the love that dwelt in Him …. You humans can make use of Jesus’ love and His strength at any time, for He is the eternal love itself, which took abode in His fleshly shell, which completely spiritualised this shell and radiated through it in order to make itself visible to the beings which once emerged from the eternal love and wanted to behold God …. But the human being always has to put himself into that state through love which was his own in the beginning …. He must accomplish the change back to love as long as he remains on earth, and he can do so if only he takes refuge in Jesus Christ …. if he follows Him and takes the path of love and suffering ….

Amen

Decision of the will, ability to think …. voice of conscience ….

B.D. 8332 from November 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

The stage of ego-consciousness is the last stretch for you on the path to perfection, which you, who possess free will, can reach …. but you can also ruin it again for a long time if you use your will wrongly again. At this stage of ego-consciousness, when you walk the earth as a human being …. you are gifted with intellect, i.e. your ability to think allows you to deal with everything you experience …. And through your thinking you now enter into contact with spiritual forces which try to determine your souls to want and think in the same direction as they do …. And since negative and positive forces fight for your soul, both kinds of forces will therefore also try their hand at you, they will transfer their will to you, i.e. they will interfere with your thinking and try to win your will. And thus you must know that you bear responsibility for your earthly life, for your existence as a human being was given to you for the purpose of moving your thoughts in God-ordained order, and you are also able to do so, for you are urged from within to think and want correctly by the voice of conscience …. A small admonisher and warner is within you which lets you recognise good and evil and which always tries to determine you towards the good …. The slightest devotion to good also results in the activation of good forces, so that your thoughts are also pushed in the right direction ….. And furthermore, God will ensure that His word is made accessible to you, that you become acquainted with the commandments of love for God and your neighbour, that you are given knowledge, even if it is only slight at first, about your God and your neighbour. about your God and creator …. And it is up to you to find the right attitude towards Him, to follow the influence of the positive forces which will always direct your thoughts towards God and the spiritual kingdom …. At the same time God’s adversary will also try to gain influence over you by sending negative thoughts, and you yourselves, i.e. your will …. will now decide whom you listen to. But you have been given the ability to think by God because you should decide for yourselves and because you create your own fate for eternity through your decision of will. Your ‘I’ will one day have to answer for itself, for this ‘I’ is the soul …. the once fallen original spirit …. which, as a human being, certainly has the ability to make the right decision …. otherwise no responsibility could be demanded of it …. But since this soul initially emerged as a divine creature from God’s love, it is also of such a nature that it can accomplish the return to God because it is helped in every way …. But it decides for itself whether it wants to do so, and it must also answer for this. For even if the opposing spirit also fights for its will, it cannot force it. But God has equipped the human being in such a way that he can practise love ….. And love also guarantees him a right decision of will, and the good forces in the spiritual kingdom constantly contribute to this and convey knowledge to the human being which proves (reveals) the effect of a life of love to him and only the human being’s will needs to decide, but it is free and neither God nor His adversary will force it. And therefore the stage as a human being is extremely significant for the soul’s fate in the spiritual kingdom, which it will enter after the death of the body …. For the soul will be like the human being’s decision on earth: …. Turning towards God or belonging to His adversary …. And thus it will be considered by God or by His adversary. Time and again earthly life will offer it the opportunity to direct its will in this or that direction. If it listens to the inner voice then its will and thinking will be right, for God makes Himself known to every person through this inner voice, and anyone who pays attention to this voice will also reach his goal, he will soon unite with God Himself and consciously appeal to Him for His guidance, and then he can also be certain of his goal, then the positive forces will always prevail and displace everything that wants to have an unfavourable effect on the soul. The I-conscious, the human being, must conclude of its own accord that it originated from an I-conscious being, which stands in highest perfection, and seek to unite with this being through thoughts and through love-consciousness. Then it is guaranteed to reach its goal, the permanent union with God for all eternity ….

Amen

Task to spread the Word ….

B.D. 8333 from November 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Thus carry My Word into the world …. If I give you this task Myself then you can rest assured that I will also do everything to provide you with the opportunity to accomplish it …. I Myself will arrange the destiny of your life such that you will be able to cope with My request, and I Myself will determine the ways you should take in earthly life. Nothing will happen to you by chance, everything is arranged to serve the spreading of My Word. And even fellow human beings will cross your path as I deem appropriate for the maturity of their souls if their will does not object. And even if it seems as if opportunities to work for Me and My kingdom are taken from you …. I will continue to create new opportunities because I know how much people need to hear My Word, which I Am able to convey to you directly from above. My adversary, however, will be equally eager to stop your work, and he will do everything possible to prevent you from accomplishing My instructions, yet he will not be victorious, for My Word is the light that shall shine into the darkness of night, which comes forth from Me Myself and also illuminates you …. And My adversary will flee from this light because it shines too brightly already and he is no longer able to extinguish it. Thus you should always rely on My help which will not fail you, and you should know that I will not allow My work to become endangered, that time after time I will send messengers of light to earth who will work on My behalf, even if you don’t recognise them as such ….

But I have known people’s will for eternity, and thus I also know whether and when it is necessary to send you willing servants who will support the spreading of My Word conveyed to you from above as soon as My adversary has succeeded in raising obstacles or is using his influence to endanger the vineyard work. I will constantly speak to you, who open yourselves as vessels for My spirit, and you need not fear that the flow of My grace will diminish, for as long as you give yourselves to Me I Am able to work in and through you, and My will shall arrange your earthly life such that it serves the spreading of My Word. But I will never force a person to serve Me if he does not want to, if he allows My adversary to influence him, for only free will can achieve a blessed work for Me and My kingdom …. And time and again there will in fact be people who will offer their service of their own free will, for the kingdom of light knows of the immense hardship on earth and beings of light have voluntarily offered to descend to earth during these last days and as human beings accept a spiritual mission ….

The Word that comes forth from Me shall be spread because it is the only way to help people save their souls, because it gives them light and strength at the same time, and because My direct help has become necessary …. Thus I will also ensure that My Word can be spread …. I will arrange everything so that it will be successful and also chose the right servants who then will work on My behalf. For My might is great, and My love for you justifies My might to express itself, and therefore you will experience things by which I want to demonstrate My infinite love for you …. Hence you can carry out your vineyard work without worry, for I Myself will guard it and will not let My work of love for you become endangered …. For you humans need My Word, you need a living sermon by Me so that all souls still living in darkness can become enlightened ….

Amen

Who was "Abedam" …. (household of God – debate)

B.D. 8334 from November 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 88

This is a problem which is difficult to explain to you because it concerns events which took place on earth at a time when people’s bond with Me on earth was even stronger than it is now, because many spirits of light and love stayed amongst them for people’s instruction, partly embodied as human beings and partly descended directly from above in spiritual garments but visible to people as likewise existing physically ….. but who then only ever stayed on earth for a short time in order to strengthen people and to kindle love in them for Me, their God and father of eternity …. All these beings of light were permeated by My strength of love; thus they had light and strength in abundance and also radiated it to people so that they recognised them as something supernatural and were blessed to be allowed to stay close to them. Admittedly, people’s spiritual state at that time was just as ambivalent as it is now, for the burden of original sin still kept them down so that they succumbed to the lower urges time and again and yet were also supposed to mature during their earthly life to such an extent that they did not enter the kingdom of the lower spirits after their death but could be admitted into limbo …. that they therefore led a God-fearing way of life during their earthly life and were also helped in every way. Therefore I repeatedly sent beings of light …. i.e. non-fallen original spirits …. in the midst of people who taught them and made them aware of My will …. And those who now fulfilled My will also awakened love for their God and creator within themselves, and love also attracted Me as the eternal love …. However, as ‘love’ I Myself was not an imaginable being to people, yet they were able to hear Me; My word resounded to those who had awakened love within themselves, and thus sometimes even forefathers were able to hear Me when it was necessary for them to be given advice about their way of life …. And then also beings of light descended to earth who assumed a human form and through whom I, as the father …. as the eternal love …. could now express Myself …. So this presence of Mine on earth was not a ‘becoming human’, it was not an ’embodiment’ of My primal being in a human being …. but it was and always remained a purely spiritual process, that the eternal love …. of the “producers” of all created beings …. revealed Himself to people in a temporarily visible spiritual form, i.e. that they were allowed to hear His word or also: that these beings of light allowed love to speak within them …. that the word, which originates in Me, audibly expressed itself to people through love-filled spiritual beings …. The ‘father’ thus addressed people, just as the flow of love emanates from Me, which the highest beings of light receive and pass on …. only that those beings of light ascended to earth and made themselves visible to people through their will and their strength, since like Me everything was possible for them, for they stood in My will and were only ever executors of My will …. And these beings did not remain visible to people either …. whereas Jesus, in Whom I embodied Myself as a human being, was and also remained visible to everyone on earth until His death and even after His death is and remains the being which became a visible God for all My living creations. This act of God’s ‘incarnation’ in Jesus is and remains unique, even though I Myself had often been present to people as the eternal love before, but since humanity was still under the burden of the original sin I could not embody Myself in any form but chose a form out of My will which, however, could only ever be the spiritual garment of one of the highest beings of light ….. whereas the human being Jesus came into the world without original sin and completely spiritualised His human body through love and suffering and was therefore able to become My abode, so that an ’embodiment’, a manifestation of My spirit of love in Jesus …. of the “incarnation of God” can be spoken of …. The father certainly spoke from those high beings which descended to the first human beings, for these beings only ever conveyed My word which they received directly from Me through the illumination of love and thus the father spoke from them, just as I Myself still speak today through an instrument chosen by Me whose original sin has been redeemed through Jesus’ act of salvation …. but which therefore cannot be addressed as God, as the father Himself …. Understand that the word is I Myself …. and that the word also always testifies to the father, but that the cover through which the word sounds will only be a ‘mediator’ from the father to His child …. whereas the man Jesus, through His act of salvation and as the purest original spirit, was able to receive Me Myself in all fullness, because now the ‘redeemed’ people should also be able to behold Me …. whereas previously it was impossible for the still unredeemed creatures to behold Me Myself. Therefore I did not remain visible to them as a figure of light either. I only ever wanted to help those whose hearts were willing to love to at least reach the degree on earth that they could enter the preliminary kingdom, where they would remain for the time being until Jesus’ act of salvation, and after My crucifixion I could then take them over into the kingdom of light and beatitude ….. In Jesus I Myself became human, for Jesus had a visible shell which He Himself, however, spiritualised but which was to remain visible for My creatures in order to be able to behold Me in My kingdom …. And thus let this explanation suffice for you, that My fatherly love certainly always dwelled amongst people where they shaped themselves such that I no longer endangered their existence with My love; yet this love was always held in check in those forms which certainly contained My fundamental substance, because they themselves were spiritual beings which belonged to Me and which only made themselves visible to people to a limited extent, as was My will …. Yet they brought people the evidence of Myself …. they brought them My word …. yet the word Itself had not yet become flesh …. which only happened in Jesus, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of salvation in order to set people free from sin and death ….

Amen

In the hereafter only the truth brings bliss ….

B.D. 8335 from November 22nd 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Everything you need to mature in earthly life is presented to you. Yet time and again questions are asked, either by people on earth or by souls in the kingdom of the beyond, which I want to answer through you, My servants on earth, so that you will be able to teach again and at the same time fulfil the desire of those souls which have become hungry for light through My word, which they, too, may hear when I convey My word to you from above. Souls which are ignorantly secluded from earth are quickly receptive as soon as they have once felt the strength of My word …. Yet the souls which have entered the spiritual kingdom with knowledge which is not free from error are far more difficult to dissuade from their error and to convince of the truth, yet they keep asking questions because they, too, recognise the strength which flows to them from My word. And therefore I am always ready to answer them, so that you also have the explanation which occasions underlie the various teachings. They are often the same questions asked by those souls in the beyond who first have to free themselves from their previous thinking, who have to realise in the beyond that certain blessings they were promised on earth by their church will not be forthcoming …. It is the ‘eternal bliss’ expected by those who have made it their business to fulfil everything demanded by their church …. who believe that by keeping the commandments …. but which were issued humanly …. they have received eternal beatitude and cannot understand that they are not yet blessed indefinitely. These souls must first be led to the light of truth before they can distribute it again and thereby be happy themselves ….. Time and again they must be made aware of the fact that love is the most important thing and that they …., if they did not pay enough attention to this commandment of love on earth, must practise much love in the beyond and they will have to practise much love for the unhappy souls around them in order to be able to partake of the truth which will only make them happy now …. And this is why My instructions from above through My word will time and again be based on My divine commandments of love. You will understand that I cannot speak enough about love, both to people on earth as well as to the souls in the beyond, who would truly already have a higher degree of light and increased knowledge if they had practised love more on earth and thereby also acquired a higher degree of knowledge. The commandments of love are the only commandments I have given on earth, and these commandments of Mine are not heeded enough, on the other hand, people use all their strength to fulfil humanly decreed commandments which do not result in any spiritual success for them and therefore they look for or expect the hoped-for beatitude in the kingdom of the beyond in vain until they receive enlightenment if they don’t close their minds to My words, which they, too, are allowed to hear, for My love wants to help them all to life and beatitude. This is why you, My servants on earth, also know about the importance of your mission, even if you can record little success on earth, yet no work you do for Me and My kingdom is in vain, after all, it is pursued by countless souls in the spiritual kingdom who have not yet reached the degree of maturity that they can receive My illumination directly themselves. You are constantly surrounded by these souls, and every thought which applies to Me is a ray of light which they now rush towards and will always participate in as soon as contact is established between Me and you which results in the supply of My word, My flow of strength of love to earth. And I also make every soul happy which desires My address by always receiving strength and increased impetus to work with love for needy souls …. Then it will also communicate itself to them and try to motivate them to likewise come to the place where a light shines. Believe that the redeemer’s work is extremely extensive and that I bless everyone who participates in it, on earth or in the spiritual kingdom …. For I only want everyone to attain eternal life, and therefore I Myself will convey the truth to those who desire it in order to be able to become blissfully happy ….

Amen

Transformation to love ….

B.D. 8336 from November 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 88

All My teachings therefore only amount to making it clear to you humans why you live on earth and what purpose earthly life has for you …. You only need to know one thing, that you start your earthly life without love and should have changed to love by the end …. This is all I ask of you, but it requires your free will …. you yourselves must want this transformation into love.… I will now do everything else by first trying to influence your will so that it turns towards Me. Then I will provide you with the strength to also be able to carry out the will …. And since the transformation into love is to be every person’s first and last goal, a spark of love has been placed in your heart from Me …. and you are now no longer incapable of this transformation, but you constantly have to be admonished and stimulated, and this shall now be achieved by My word, My word, which conveys My love to you, which longs for your return to Me …. As long as you are without love you have no knowledge whatsoever …. you know nothing about your origin, about your former state in which you were unspeakably happy …. You don’t know that you had forfeited this bliss yourselves through your rebellion against Me …. that you thus completely changed your nature into the opposite, that you gave away your love and rejected every illumination of love on My part and therefore fell into an unhappy state. Yet only when you possess this knowledge again will you approach the former state of perfection, for such knowledge will always be the result of a life of love and can never be gained without love …. But the knowledge will also make you happy, for you will now also recognise Me Myself, your God and creator, and know that you are in contact with Me, that you possess the love of your God and creator and therefore may also receive love from Me time and again if you declare yourselves willing to accept it. Hence My word gives you this knowledge, and therefore it is truly a gift of grace of immeasurable value, because at the same time it is proof of My existence, which completely loveless people want to deny because they are devoid of all knowledge as a result of an unkind way of life. But faith in Me is already a blissful benefit for the human being, for to be able to believe in Me also presupposes a degree of love, and the evidence is also given that you are on the path back to Me if this living faith is within you. It merely concerns Me that you step out of the spiritual darkness into the light during your earthly life …. that you gain an even if only slight realisation, a truthful knowledge …. For then a light of love will have been kindled in you which will flare up ever brighter as love increases in you …. But as long as it is not possible to stimulate you into working with love of your own accord, as long as you don’t voluntarily accept My word and live it out, it will also remain dark in you, and your return to Me during earthly life is questionable, if not hopeless. My love truly uses all means to guide you to the light, and therefore it will create opportunities for you time and again where love can ignite in you, where the spark of love within you flares up and pushes you from within into a work of love …. And if you don’t resist inwardly, if you listen to this quiet admonition within you, to the expression of your conscience, then you will also safely walk towards the light of day, for love will be allowed to work in you ever more often. You will find your own happiness in helping your fellow human beings in every adversity. For only giving, selfless, gratifying love is to be understood by the love which I demand of you so that you perfect yourselves. Thus I can only influence your thoughts so that your will is directed correctly and time and again create opportunities for you to turn your will into action …. And I can only ever preach love to you …. And if you comply with My will you will also attain the brightest realisation while still on earth and truly be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond with rich treasures when your earthly life is over. Yet if you never awaken the spirit of love to life you will remain in spiritual darkness and your earthly life will be an idle one, yet always through your own fault, for everything will be done by Me to help you find your way out of your wretched state …. However, your free will decides, and therefore you will one day have to answer for this will as you have used (directed) it ….

Amen

Examination of spiritual 'receptions' ….

B.D. 8337 from November 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I want to send My Word to all places, I want all people to be informed of it and I will also lead all those to you to whom you shall impart My Word. I will pour My spirit upon all flesh and choose the right vessels for Myself far and wide which I will be able to instruct mentally or even through the inner Word because it is essential to inform people of My will and their earthly task. And thus I work everywhere because the last days before the end will require extraordinary help. And time and again I say to you that I speak to you directly or indirectly through My messengers of light who receive My Word from Me and pass it on to those of you who allow the flow of spirit to enter you. In the latter instance My Word, which is given to these messengers of light by Me, will also be recognisable by the style of the Word …. Yet it will always be the pure truth from Me, because the messengers of light merely comply with My will and will not pass on anything other than truth to those of you who sincerely desire the truth. Nevertheless, you should always check it and, at all times, bear in mind that My adversary, too, wants to express himself in the last days and that he will present himself as an angel of light …. you should always remember that I have warned you about false Christs and false prophets …. For they, too, wreak havoc on earth and intend to confuse people. And you will always be able to carry out this examination by appealing for My support and by taking My Word into consideration: that every spirit which professes that Jesus Christ came in the flesh can also be regarded to have been called by Me …. But attention always has to be paid to the fact that this embodiment in the flesh has to be explained to you …. For in order to deceive you an evil spirit can use the same words too, since it knows them well yet it will be incapable of explaining them.

Similarly, immature spirits which are as yet unenlightened but bear no ill intentions may also want to express themselves and thus pass on what they remember from earthly life. These should not to be acknowledged as teachers …. And, again, the recipient’s attitude is decisive as to whether such immature beings will be able to express themselves or whether the sincere will for truth will prevent them from carrying out their intentions. In the same way as preachers exist on earth who only use what they know as subject matter for their sermons without, however, being spiritually enlightened …. and yet they need not be bad …. so beings express themselves in the beyond which had also once performed this ministry on earth and then continued their instructions in the beyond. And as long as they pass themselves off as otherworldly teachers they will be listened to or rejected …. depending on the person they try to educate. But since these beings in the beyond don’t know that God and Jesus are one and only ever see the ‘human being’ in Jesus Who perfected Himself on earth …. but neither do they know what this ‘perfection’ implies …. they avail themselves of His human name in order to make their instructions credible …. For they lack the full realisation of this great sin otherwise they truly would not commit it …. They still intend to lead people into the ‘heavenly kingdom’ just as they planned to do on earth during their work as preachers. This is why their reports from the spiritual kingdom will also give people the impression that they are perfect spirits from higher spheres …. The spiritually awakened person, however, can sense that I Am not and cannot be the source of this spiritual knowledge, because My divinity in Jesus is not clearly emphasised, but this shall always be made comprehensible through My Word since Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation will only be understood and acknowledged if you humans receive truthful clarification about it. You can never be advised often enough to constantly enter into heartfelt contact with Me and to pray to Me in spirit and in truth, so that everything is excluded which is misguided or incomprehensible to you and does not benefit your soul but is more likely to cause it damage …. For My adversary, by using shadows, eagerly tries to darken the light which shines brightly wherever the will for truth prevails and where he himself is therefore unable to lead people astray …. Yet whenever you are unsure, ask Me and I will always grant you illumination and, time and again, give you the evidence of My love which will lead all of you to the light so that you will be able to become blissfully happy ….

Amen

God will implement His act of Salvation ….

B.D. 8338 from November 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Nothing will prevent Me from implementing My eternal plan of Salvation, for My love and wisdom have realised from the start when it is necessary to manifest My Power, to restructure My work of creation called Earth by virtue of My might, and this time will be adhered to, for that which I realise to be necessary will also be carried out by Me. For people’s low spiritual level necessitates this change, since it almost cannot be surpassed anymore, and thus the day which was designated for eternity is not far away anymore …. All that needs to be done now is to provide people with the greatest possible help so that those who accept it will still be saved. Yet no-one should think that he can persuade Me to abandon My eternal plan of Salvation …. although I will always grant heartfelt prayers, as I have promised. But you should not pray for the prevention of the last Judgment on this earth, because this act is purely an act of love on My part and you should never prevent Me in My activity of love …. For I know that a complete transformation is necessary, both for you humans as well as all the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creations and which should strive to ascend. And if you pray for prevention then you are only motivated by selfish love because you neither want to forgo your earthly life nor your earthly possessions …. If, however, your love aims in the right direction so that it belongs to Me and your neighbour then your spirit will also be sufficiently enlightened so that you will be able to realise that the last Judgment is an act of love on My part …. Then you will recognise the low spiritual level yourselves and you will know that I must give rise to a change in order to save what can still be saved …. I have indeed always referred to this last end yet never mentioned a time to you, and even now I will not inform you of the precise time but you can be assured that My proclamations will soon fulfil themselves, that you will not have much time left until the end of the earth …. that you are very close to it …. And when you pray then only pray that many people may still become enlightened, that they may take the path to the cross, so that the hour of the end will not mean their downfall but beatitude for them …. Try to explain the commandments of love to all people, try to motivate them into changing their love into unselfish love for their neighbour, and you will truly pray correctly when you pray for help for the people close to you which have not yet gained realisation themselves ….

But do not think that prayer campaigns will be able to determine Me and My will not to accomplish My plan of Salvation, for it really would not be an act of grace, instead My adversary would merely increase the number of his adherents, and even My Own would be at risk of being plunged into ruin by him …. Believe that My love and wisdom only ever want what is best for My living creations, that even this last Judgment is not an act of punishment on My part but only a judgment of that which has completely left My order …. I want to restore the order which was revoked through human will, through My adversary’s influence, so that even My living creations’ process of return is at risk …. My plan of Salvation only ever intends to return the fallen beings to Me …. However, you humans lack the overall view, the correct realisation, and neither do you know to what depth the human race has sunk already and that therefore the point in time has come that its fall will have to be stopped, that the souls will have to be wrest from My adversary again and banned anew, so that one day they will have the opportunity once more to start on the return path to Me, which they forfeited in this life on earth, which they failed to make use of and are therefore lost again due to their own fault. But My adversary will not keep them in his control, and that is a plus for the fallen soul already, which has to pass through the creations of the new earth in a dissolved state again. You humans are unaware that I Am only ever determined by love because one day you shall become My Own again …. and only see the punishing God in Me …. Yet you have created this ‘punishment’ yourselves, through your inclination towards matter, which has become your downfall, you have aspired towards this fate yourselves …. For matter belongs to My adversary, thus you voluntarily handed yourselves over to his authority, and he will hold on to you until I Myself wrest you away again from him, which will happen through a banishment into hard matter …. but which, at the same time, will be the start of your ascent from the abyss to the pinnacle again …. All this will be said to you time and time again, and therefore prepare yourselves for an end of this earth and do whatever it takes to detach yourselves from the one who wants to ruin you …. Come to Me and, truly, I will help you to resist him …. Then you need not fear the end, which will irrevocably come as I have proclaimed to you ….

Amen

Twilight in the afterlife …. faith in God ….

B.D. 8339 from November 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

And if only a small light can be kindled for you before your passing away from this world, then you need not enter into deepest darkness and you can find your way, you can also already include other souls in your small circle of light and likewise help them into brightness. And it is such a small light if you believe in a God and creator and pray to Him …. Then your resistance will be broken, and then it will also be possible to let ever brighter light shine towards you in the kingdom of the beyond …. And then you will not reject Jesus Christ either when the knowledge of Him is conveyed to you by spiritual beings of light. For brightest light can only shine for you when you have become free from all guilt, when you acknowledge Him and ask Him for redemption and forgiveness of your guilt …. But how many people depart from this earth without having found Him, and then they cannot be accepted into the kingdom of light either …. Nevertheless, they can move in the twilight if they have faith in Me, if they don’t completely deny a God and creator, for the latter would inevitably also mean deepest darkness for the soul …. To walk in twilight is not bliss but not hopeless …. The soul will recognise like-minded souls and also have opportunities to be helpful and thereby also increase the light within and around it …. For the fact that it believes in Me also makes it remember Me and ask for help, and this can only ever be given to it in the kingdom of the beyond if it accepts the advice given to it by unknown beings of light which only ever consist of calling upon Jesus Christ and providing help for suffering souls. The resistance will also no longer be so great because it has already given up resistance on earth through her faith in Me. Therefore it is extremely important to bring My word to people while they are still on earth, which instructs them and can bring Me Myself close to them, for their will is free and their faith in Me must also be free, and they can only gain it through faith in love …. Hence the constant admonition to fulfil the commandments of love for God and neighbour is necessary …. and anyone who follows these admonitions will also soon recognise Me through his activity of love and believe in Me …. And he shall at least have reached this degree on earth, then he need not fear the hour of death either, even though he cannot enter the realms of the blessed, yet he will take a small light across with him which will illuminate his path and, in accordance with his even now still free will, will be increased and his ascent upwards will be assured for him …. But where not the slightest light could be kindled, deepest darkness is irrevocably the fate of a soul which will sink far deeper rather than take the path of ascent, even though lights occasionally shine in the darkness and entice the souls out …. yet the help offered to them is rarely accepted unless much intercession is given to those souls, which has the effect of a flow of strength and can then also cause a soul to change and desire light …. But at present human hearts on earth are in a state of profound darkness, for faith in Me has been lost to humanity because a formal faith …. a church faith which is not alive through love …. cannot be called faith and people themselves are not inwardly convinced that there is a God before Whom they will one day have to answer. This is why the kingdom of darkness is extremely densely populated and the earth is surrounded by souls which are unable to detach themselves from their former surroundings and which affect people in the most unfavourable way. So that this darkness on earth will still be broken through, small lights will shine everywhere, i.e., I will try to guide My word everywhere which shall enlighten people’s hearts so that the number of those who hopelessly sink into the abyss will be reduced. For the spiritual kingdom will soon close its gates and no longer accept such dark souls, for as soon as the end of the earth has come they will fall into the lot of the new banishment …. Darkness will be their portion because they shunned the light which was offered to them from above ….

Amen

Power influx through connection with the light-filled world ….

B.D. 8340 from November 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Every spiritual contact, i.e. every bond with Me Myself as well as with the good spiritual world, allows for a transmission of strength which is of greatest benefit to you humans, for receiving spiritual strength means that the soul comes to life again, which lasts forever …. It has emerged from its state of death through its voluntary turning to the world of light, to Me, Who reigns in this world of light, and it can now also receive the flow of life which originates from Me and is also conveyed to it through the world of light. You don’t know how beneficial it is when you daily place your thoughts into this world full of light, when you call upon all those who are benevolent towards you, when you ask all good spirits surrounding you for support in all your earthly affairs, if you trustingly hand yourselves over to the messengers of light who have joined you on My behalf in order to guide you and who only ever carry out My will, as soon as you also sincerely remember Me and thereby establish the contact between you and Me, which is a prerequisite for the transmission of strength …. And don’t let yourselves be put off even if your body doesn’t feel this influx of strength but your soul receives it, and truly, it gets healthy and matures to such an extent that you can go through earthly life with joy and hope, for you will surely reach your goal …. the union with Me. It is still an unreal world for you into which you mentally place yourselves as soon as you seek contact with Me and all spiritual beings full of light, yet it is your soul’s true home, and it also recognises the home and consciously strives towards it. But it cannot transmit the impressions to the body because it would not be able to bear it and would be incapable of its life on this earth …. Yet the soul itself is enabled by the supply of My strength of love to look into the spiritual kingdom, and it is happy to be allowed to enter this kingdom one day. And whenever you humans sincerely remember Me I can let this strength flow to you, for the contact between you and Me results in this influx, for I constantly emanate My flow of strength of love, and where it finds no resistance it can become effective …. But where a person’s thoughts never turn towards the kingdom of light, i.e. where they never seek Me Myself, an influx of strength is impossible and the soul remains in its death-like state and can also pass over into the kingdom of the beyond in the same state …. Therefore establish this heartfelt bond with Me often and receive unlimited strength of love from Me, and believe Me that you can do nothing better than to repeatedly send your thoughts to Me and entrust yourselves to all spiritual beings full of light, for truly, you will be protected and guided like children who are always in need of loving guidance …. But you will also be able to walk along carefree and need not fear any lack, for the soul and the body will receive what they need because you yourselves make it possible for Me to provide for you spiritually and earthly through your conscious devotion to Me …. Believe that I constantly want to give you gifts but that I need your open hands to receive My gifts of grace …. that your hearts have to open in order to receive My illumination of love …. And thus this happens when your thoughts turn towards Me and repeatedly dwell with Me and in the spiritual kingdom …. Then you will no longer be distant from Me, for then your being will also be full of love, otherwise you would not look for Me as the eternal love. And thus you will also understand why I keep warning you about the world, why I keep you away from it and demand that you should go into stillness …. For I cannot be found in the world, and through the world you will be hindered in your intimate bond with Me and therefore will also be able to register little strength as long as the world still stands between us …. You also seem to receive goods which are beneficial for the body but never what the soul needs in order to perfect itself. For only I can give it that, and it also receives it as soon as it unites with Me and enables the influx of strength which alone helps it to live eternally ….

Amen

Introduction to spiritual knowledge ….

B.D. 8341 from November 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I want to give people an easily comprehensible instruction; I want to enlighten them in the simplest possible way if they are still entirely without knowledge but willing to accept a correct explanation: You humans can imagine that I did not create you as you are, for you can detect many shortcomings in people, and if you spend some thought on it, it will seem doubtful to you that the most perfect Being, Which you call ‘God’, should have created such an imperfect human race …. But since you, as well as all visible works of creation surrounding you, could not have been able to create yourselves there must have been a Power at work, in Which you are expected to believe …. A God has to exist, a Creator of everything you can perceive, including yourselves …. Thus this Creator is supremely perfect, and you can procure numerous evidence of this in earthly life …. He created you humans too, but not in the state you find yourselves in at present, rather, you emerged from Him in a supremely perfect state, you are products of the absolutely perfect Creative Power, Which is an intelligent Entity …. just like you but of highest perfection …. therefore you were perfectly created but did not remain perfect because you possessed free will which was able to evolve in any direction and therefore was also able to relinquish all perfection and change into the opposite …. And this is what you have done ….

You left the Father’s house, you distanced yourselves from your God and Creator, you rejected His Fatherly love and became unhappy creatures, because it requires God’s unlimited love in order to be happy. My love, however, is infinite and also follows you into the abyss, to which you aspired of your own free will …. My love wants to achieve your return to Me one day and therefore won’t leave you in your wretched state but will help you to ascend from the abyss again, it will help you to return from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of light again and regain your former state of bliss, because love always wants to please, and so My love will not lessen until you have completed the path of return to Me. And your existence as human beings on this earth is a very short stage on the path of return to Me …. You have the gift of reason, you possess free will and intellect, you are able to think, feel and want and therefore can also conduct yourselves accordingly …. And if you think and want correctly then your thoughts and intentions will always be based on love, love will determine your thinking and wanting because a correctly directed will allows itself to be determined by Me Myself into activities of love and because the activity of love is the same as approaching Me, Who is Eternal Love Itself …. because it is the same as transforming your imperfect nature into the original being which had once came forth from Me in utter perfection …. Thus you humans on earth only have the one task of living a life of love …. In doing so you fulfil the purpose of your earthly life which connects you with the Eternal Love again and thereby enables the Eternal Love to make you abundantly happy and you will become blissful again as you were in the beginning ….

This is the only goal you should endeavour towards reaching on earth, and in order for you to do so you will be taught by Me Myself through the voice of conscience, through the voice of the spirit, the spark which glows within every human heart and only needs to be kindled through kind-hearted activity in order to tell you humans what you should or should not do …. and which will stimulate you into more and more loving actions …. Love is the fundamental substance of your nature, and if you want to be and remain perfect you also have to be completely permeated by love …. If, however, you neglect love you will remain imperfect beings, and then you will belong to the generation which you can presently recognise all over the world: heartless, selfish people who only ever think of themselves and never take care of their neighbour who is suffering in adversity next to them …. But a lack of love also means a lack of happiness, it means spiritual darkness, ignorance, weaknesses and a lack of freedom, for then the human being will not recognise his God and Creator either, and he will not take the path to Him …. Yet only through a union with Me can the being regain beatitude …. And for the sake of this union with Me you are living on earth. You ought to achieve your perfection again which you once renounced of your own free will, you ought to change yourselves into love again which had been your fundamental substance, and with this change you will also establish unification with Me …. You will be allowed to give love and receive unlimited love yourselves, you will be able to enter into a true life which lasts forever, and you will be perfect and therefore also infinitely happy ….

Amen

Go to the source ….

B.D. 8342 from November 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

My life source constantly lets fresh, healthy and healing water flow to you, which is available to every earthly wanderer, where everyone can bend down and draw from it and quench his thirst …. It is truly a delicious stream which flows unstoppably and which is accessible to all of you who merely take the path to this source which My love has made accessible to you. Your pilgrimage on earth requires strength …. This is at your disposal because vitality also flows to you at the same time so that the body can fulfil its task and become active according to its destiny …. But earthly life is about the maturing of the soul, and therefore the soul also requires an influx of strength which, however, cannot be supplied to it through physical nourishment. It needs spiritual strength to mature, and it receives this from Me Myself in abundance and need only use it …. This spiritual strength is My word, it is the treasure of grace which only needs to be lifted up, it is the fountain of life which feeds and waters every earthly pilgrim’s soul and thus ensures its maturing on earth. But My word has to be accepted voluntarily, the soul has to feel hunger and thirst for it, and thus the human being has to take the path to the source where he can draw the living water, where the soul can fetch strength for its earthly life. I will not let you go through earthly life without strength, time and again I will offer you delicious food and refreshing drink …. but you must also gratefully accept My gifts and make use of them …. You must not resist it, and you must not draw the water of life far away from the source, for then it will have already lost much of its healing power, then it will no longer have the effect it has at the source where it is offered to you directly by Me and where you will also be able to ascertain a great healing power yourselves …. Make the effort and take the path to the source, which cannot be found in the depths but you already have to undertake a slight ascent, i.e. you have to seriously want to fulfil your earthly task and be willing to turn away from the depths of the world with its attractions and temptations and stride upwards… seek the height and strive towards it …. You must earnestly seek out the source of life, then you will be overjoyed to find it and be able to refresh yourselves, for the water that flows from it is a true refreshment for the soul. And then you can also be certain that you need not fear any impurities, that the drink will not harm you but that you will only be able to recover from it because I Myself have made the gift of life accessible to you, Who, after all, wants your soul to attain recovery while still on earth, and because I also know that it therefore requires strong, wholesome nourishment which can only be offered to it at that spring. As soon as the water has already created a riverbed and flows into the depths, it is also possible for the riverbed to become polluted, and then the water will also lose its healing power if it does not become completely unsuitable and harm the people who enjoy it …. Thus there is no longer any guarantee that My word will remain pure and unadulterated if it is mixed with human additives or even replaced by human intellectual results …. I want to warn you all of this so that you do not accept spiritual goods which endanger the salvation of your soul rather than help it to recover …. For the enemy of all life will try everything to poison My flow of life by interspersing truth with error, and then the soul will truly not benefit from spiritual knowledge which did not originate from Me but has him as its author …. Therefore I admonish you time and again not to accept any kind of nourishment but to seek the source where unclouded water of life flows to you, which has Me Myself as its source and which I will constantly convey to My living creations so that they will reach their goal on earth …. that your soul will mature and attain life which will last forever ….

Amen

Action-love …. good example ….

B.D. 8343 from November 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You shall proclaim My teaching on earth, which only teaches (demands) love …. love for Me and for your neighbour …. And thus you must also live a life of love yourselves, otherwise you will not find faith with your fellow human beings if you yourselves act differently than you preach …. But if you give them a good example they will also try to live a life of love in accordance with it, and then they will also experience the effect of a life of love on themselves …. The blessing will not fail to materialise then either, and they will be allowed to constantly receive much in the way of light and strength, in wisdom and spiritual strength supply …. But first they have to let love flare up within themselves, and you should help them to do so through your teachings and your own life of love …. Very often the words are quoted: Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself …. But they always remain just words, these commandments of love are not lived out, and therefore only a few know about the blessing that a right life of love entails. Love is the divine, which glows in the human being as the tiniest spark and has to be made to flare up by the human being himself …. Love is light and strength in itself, and thus a loving person must emerge from the state of darkness and weakness …. And this must be recognizable by rich knowledge and strong faith …. The human being must come to recognize the truth and also be allowed to connect with Me as the eternal love through his life of love and thus also receive strength, the influx of which results in every connection with Me. However, the person who is satisfied with empty words, who does not live out love and thus sets a leading example for his fellow human beings, will not be able to achieve any of this. For a good example is often more successful than words can achieve. And if you humans keep telling yourselves that every form is worthless before Me, then you will also make an effort to live a right life of love, and the blessing will not fail to materialise, you will be happy about the effect yourselves, for since you now enter a state of realisation the meaning of your earthly life will also become clear to you and you will now live consciously …. The love within you will become ever stronger, because strength constantly flows to you from Me which you use again for loving activity. But what is meant by true love? You should regard all your fellow human beings as brothers who all have the same father and for whose return the father longs …. You should help these brothers in every need and danger, you should try to make them happy, give them joy, distribute gifts they need; you should protect them from all harm …. you should do everything you wish for the one you love with all your heart, for this love is within you and only needs to be kindled …. You should also know that every person is in danger of getting lost who does not find the path to Me, and therefore you should help him onto the right path, you should illuminate his path with a bright light which shines brightly for you again through loving activity and which you should let shine out into the darkness of night so that your brothers will also recognize the path which leads back to the father …. You should think of your neighbour more than of yourselves, for truly, I Myself will then know how to protect you if you lovingly take care of your neighbour who is too weak to help himself. Nor will you ever need to fear that you will have to live in want yourselves because you first thought of your neighbour who was in need …. For as you measure out, so will it be measured out to you, and thus you also banish your own need when you take care of your neighbour …. And you can believe it, your fellow human beings will also take an example from such a life of love, and then their spiritual state will also be brightened …. they will be accessible to the truth and also be able to understand everything they are told about their destiny on earth, for love will break through all shells, people’s hearts will become light, they can now also be instructed about all spiritual correlations, about their beginning and their final goal …. They will understand and want to share their knowledge with their fellow human beings again, because they themselves are delighted by the knowledge and now love impels them to also let others participate in the light which enlightens their hearts. For the right proclamation of My teaching of love also includes a love of action, it includes a way of life in unselfish neighbourly love which will also cause fellow human beings to fulfil the commandments of love for God and neighbour ….

Amen

God's commission to His servants ….

B.D. 8344 from December 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I will bless your work which is meant for the spreading of My word, for truly, the spiritual hardship is great, the darkness is almost impenetrable, and humanity needs a light through which the path it should take in order to achieve the purpose on earth is illuminated: to return to Me, from Whom all beingness once originated …. People know nothing about the most important thing in earthly life, about the return to Me, just as they don’t know about the meaning and reason for their existence as a human being. And therefore they know nothing about it because they don’t kindle the light of love within themselves which would give them spiritual brightness and thus truthful thinking …. And therefore a light has to be brought to these people, through the shine of which they can gain a small enlightenment if they accept the advice you bring to them through My word, which reveals My will. People must be helped, for they are helpless in their spiritual blindness, and there is only one help, that they are admonished to live a life of love, that My will is made known to them, which consists of fulfilling the commandments of love …. If you, My servants on earth, succeed in informing them of this, if you merely induce them to think, then a blessed work will already have been accomplished, for then it will also be possible for the beings of light to intervene in their thoughts, for everything will be done to pull people out of their spiritual hardship, to bring them help, to save their souls from the end. And thus you only ever have to be diligently active for Me and tirelessly work in the vineyard: to plant the seed, with which I provide you so abundantly, in fertile soil …. to convey My word to people’s hearts, so that the seed will sprout and bear abundant fruit …. so that My word will give strength and light to all who willingly accept it. Every assistance will be granted to you from Me to carry out the work for Me and My kingdom, and the more willingly you comply with this work the richer blessings will flow to you as well as to all people to whom you convey a delectable gift which originated directly from Me and which therefore cannot remain without effect either: …. provided that this gift of grace is not consciously rejected, which, however, only proves the hard resistance of people who are still under My adversary’s control …. But remember the many weak and undecided people who only need strong support, who only need to be enlightened about their purpose of existence, who are not unwilling when they are truthfully instructed …. You should help them and create the opportunity for them to receive My word through you …. For I will not stop speaking to humanity and I only want you, My servants, to continue praying My word, because I cannot address people directly but there is no other option but to convey to them what they need for their ascent upwards …. Don’t let any work spoil you, be diligently active and believe that My eye rests favourably on you who willingly serve Me and fulfil the task I repeatedly give you because time is pressing. Yet My concern for love will not cease, it will not let up and time and again will try to bring help, for which you, My servants on earth, should support Me insofar as it is easier for you to gain access to people’s hearts than it is for Me, Who, due to people’s imperfection, cannot come into contact with them so closely that they would be able to recognize Me and give up their resistance …. But they can accept you because you do not force them to believe but leave it up to their free will whether they listen to you or not …. But you receive the seed from Me which you shall impart to them, and I will provide for you abundantly so that every person can receive what it needs. The great adversity causes Me to repeatedly stimulate you into eager activity, for I need you and therefore explain to you time and again in what way you can be of service to Me …. Yet I do not force your will either …. If, however, you have love within you, you will do everything yourselves to participate in the redeemer’s work, you will take pity on your fellow human beings’ great spiritual hardship and strengthen your will to find a remedy, and truly, you will always be able to be certain of My blessing ….

Amen

New redemption period ….

B.D. 8345 from December 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 88

No major spiritual advancement can be expected on this earth any longer, only a few more people will find and walk the right path which leads to Me …. back to the Father’s house. There will certainly be people everywhere making every effort to work for Me and My kingdom, supporting the doctrines of the various ecclesiastical organisations with sincere dedication for Me …. They will have the good will to guide the human being into truth and are successful too when My spirit can work through them as soon as they preach for Me and My kingdom.

But only few people take the development of their soul seriously, whose faith in Me also includes the belief that they have a responsibility towards Me and who therefore consciously live their earthly life. However, most people are and remain indifferent, even if they are confronted by the most powerful speaker …. They simply dismiss everything spiritual with a superior smile, because people consider it a fantasy and unreal and are therefore not captivated by it either. But for the sake of the few the work shall still be done eagerly, because to have saved only one soul from its downfall, to have prevented it from a repeated progress through the earth’s creations, is such a tremendous accomplishment that no effort should be spared, since every soul will eternally thank its saviour to have guided it onto the right path.

Many people apparently revert back to faith …. But greater still is the number of those who fall away and carelessly sacrifice their faith in Me and who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation as an act of atonement for the whole of humanity either …. And precisely because the belief in Jesus Christ is increasingly declining, spiritual hardship is getting progressively worse.  This will finally lead to the disintegration of the earth so as to prevent an even deeper descent into darkness, which shall be accomplished by releasing the spirits which belong to My adversary and confining them again in the material creation.

Time and again I tell you that this earth cannot expect a spiritual change for the better, that a new period of redemption will start and that this, at the same time, will be a spiritual as well as an earthly turning point, because nothing which lives and exists on, in and above the earth will remain, but everything will be transformed, a new earth will emerge, and this new earth will start again in lawful order, so that the development of all spiritual substances thereon will be safeguarded and the process of return within this lawful order will continue.

My eternal plan does not depend on whether you humans believe this or not, but those of you who do not believe My statements will be surprised how soon the day will dawn when the first revelations fulfil themselves: when you may yet witness a last sign from Me which shall confirm all revelations of this nature …. Especially those people who deem themselves intellectually superior to their fellow human beings deny such last day revelations and thus also doubt the truth of My Word, which is transmitted to earth directly from above …. Yet who else could make such a specific prediction but He Who has every power at His disposal and Who is Lord of all the forces of heaven and earth? ….

You can indeed accept His Word to be true and certain, for I do not merely speak but also substantiate every event to be inflicted on you by My love, wisdom and power, because this is necessary for your souls which should still call for Me in the last hour before the end. My predictions are not intended to achieve anything but to stimulate your sense of responsibility, by believing that you are soon approaching the end and by asking yourselves whether and how you can stand before the eyes of your God and Creator …. You should not believe those who deny an end, who want to awaken in you humans the expectation of changes for the better …. for a spiritual renaissance on this very earth that only requires a different human generation which observes My will …. On this earth no such human generation will be found anymore, because the decline of spirituality is continuing, and this alone will result in the end of this earth’s era.

For the earth is meant to be a school for the spirit, but people’s thoughts are dominated by matter and therefore they themselves will become matter again too, which they desire above all else.  By doing so they completely forget God Who gave them their earthly life for the sake of a specific purpose …. And people do not fulfil this purpose, even the earth itself does not fulfil this purpose any more, because divine order has been completely reversed, the earth has become My adversary’s kingdom who wants to prevent the higher development of all spiritual substances ….

And you, who still believe in humanity’s spiritual turning point on this earth, are spiritually deluded, you have no inner enlightenment, you are merely directed by your human intellect to make accusations and to deny divine revelations and to portray them as an expression of the opposing spirit. Otherwise you would know yourselves which level humanity has arrived at, and you would do better to be quiet, if you yourselves cannot believe in an end …. than to expose your lack of awareness by allegations which oppose My predictions …. Because you too will have to be answerable for this, since you are, after all, preventing people from evaluating their failed life and thus from a return to Me, which will have to take place before the end if the soul is to be saved from the appalling fate of repeated captivity in the creations of the earth ….

Amen

Living out the divine commandments of love ….

B.D. 8346 from December 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You are all called upon to live on earth in accordance with My divine commandments of love, because no person can reach perfection on earth if he ignores these commandments of love. And therefore you should all listen to the gospel which My disciples bring to you, because it contains the divine commandments of love and because you will only receive inner light when you fulfil them. Before that you live on earth completely ignorant, and you only strive for worldly knowledge which, however, does not ensure any ascent. Only when spiritual knowledge is granted to you, when you gain insight into a spiritual realm, will you live a conscious life, and I want to open up this spiritual realm for you but I can only do so if you first kindle a light of love within yourselves, and this, in turn, is the result of a life of love on this earth. You don’t believe how important the commandments of love are to be taken; you don’t believe that they have to be fulfilled first if your soul is to develop progressively. But the soul only lives on earth as a human being in order to reach perfection, in order to mature, in order to change itself into love and to reach its original state again …. And this can only happen through loving activity, through the fulfilment of My commandments which demand love for Me and for the neighbour. And this is why My gospel will be proclaimed to you humans time and again, this is why My word will be conveyed to you time and again, because I will not cease to admonish you and explain to you how extremely important it is to comply with My word, which will only ever stimulate you into loving activity. Your imperfection, your shortcoming, only consists of the fact that you lack the strength of love, that your life on earth is determined by self-love, that you only ever think of yourselves and have no understanding for your fellow human being’s adversity, that a certain indifference towards your spiritual earthly task exists and determines your way of life …. For all your wanting and thinking is only earthly directed and only aims at helping the body to feel comfortable, yet you ignore the soul because you do not acquire the strength it needs through loving activity …. And thus your earthly life will only ever remain idle …. and no matter how many earthly goods you acquire and possess they are transient and you cannot take them with you into the kingdom of the beyond if you have to give up earthly life. As long as your soul has to live in want you will not fulfil your purpose of earthly life. And you should only make an attempt and practise love …. For once you should not expect any self-benefit but completely unselfishly accept your neighbour in his adversity …. And you will feel a blissful feeling which earthly fulfilled wishes cannot give you …. For your neighbour will show you love again which will make you happy, and truly, a little light has been kindled in you …. For this reason love is also constantly preached to you, because you should be stimulated, for as soon as you try it will not remain an attempt, you will feel inwardly urged to renew your activity of love, because every work of love signifies an influx of spiritual strength for you which you will use again to work in love …. For this is the blessing of every work of love, that the human being’s will is strengthened, because love always provides strength. Anyone who proclaims the gospel of love, who tries to motivate his fellow human beings to be unselfishly active in love …. and who also sets a good example himself by exemplifying a life of love to his fellow human beings, which will always be felt charitably by all people around him, can be certain of My blessing. Know that love is a great strength, that you can all make your lives much easier if you use the strength of love, which will also help you to have a living faith, and then you will also have escaped all danger …. For love and faith are the foundations of My church, which I Myself founded on earth; then you will also belong to this church of Mine and you will also regain the knowledge you had lost due to your apostasy from Me, which consisted of you rejecting love …. that you turned away from Me without any love …. Only when love fills your heart again will you be able to unite with Me again, and then your purpose of earthly life will be fulfilled. Therefore listen to My messengers and don’t reject them when they proclaim the gospel of love to you, for I send them to all of you who still walk through earthly life without light and love …. Listen to them and seek to live out My word which they bring to you, and truly, you will gain much, and your earthly progress will not have been in vain if your soul leaves the body and enters the kingdom of the beyond, which is your true home ….

Amen

Devotion to God ensures beatification ….

B.D. 8347 from December 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Thus let yourselves be guided and led by Me by consciously entrusting yourselves to My guidance, by asking Me not to let you go and to walk every path with you so that you will not stray from the right path but always walk in accordance with My will. And believe that you will then also fulfil your earthly task, for in contact with Me My flow of strength of love will also radiate into you and you will change your nature into love, because its presence is the surest guarantee for this. Then you will also serve voluntarily, driven by love, and your soul will mature, it will repel everything of an anti-divine nature, for love crystallises the soul and enables it to absorb ever stronger radiation of love. Love, however, is light, and thus the soul can enter the kingdom of light unhindered upon its departure from this earth, for it has shaped itself in earthly life such that all coverings have fallen off it and it can now also receive the beatitudes of My kingdom in a high degree of light. Devotion to Me has then brought this about, for once a person surrenders to Me I will truly never let him go, and I will also shape his earthly progress such that it can bring him the highest success …. Then you will have to mature, because all resistance in you will have dwindled and thus the return to Me will also have been accomplished. Yet consciously handing yourselves over to Me requires a degree of faith which is achieved through actions of love …. It requires a …. even if only slight …. knowledge of My nature, which in turn can only be attained through loving activity …. For if you know about My being, which is love, wisdom and power, you are also urged to surrender to this being, and then you will have passed your test of will on earth, you will have voluntarily acknowledged Me again and long for union with Me …. Therefore it is My greatest and everlasting endeavour to give you this small realisation, to reveal Myself to you, to give you information about My being, from whose infinite love you yourselves originated. But this knowledge is not forcibly given to you …. Your free will must be willing to accept it, and thus your free will alone is decisive as to whether you find your way back to Me in earthly life or remain at a distance from Me, which is wretchedness. And therefore it is also possible that the earthly path as a human being will be travelled in vain, and yet I can do nothing else but time and again influence your will so that you listen to Me when I want to enlighten you, when I want to kindle a small light for you in which you are able to recognize Me Myself and My nature. You are capable of doing so, but whether you are willing is for you to decide, and no coercion whatsoever will be exerted on you, neither from My nor My adversary’s side. But you need never fear that I will abandon you …. Until your death I will try to win you over for Myself in order to facilitate your entry into the kingdom of the beyond, so that you will not have to fear the deepest darkness from which you will find your way out with great difficulty if you don’t sink even deeper. But I have to leave you free will, and now you will understand that I will take hold of you in order to never ever let you go if you entrust yourselves to Me voluntarily, if you request My guidance and I can now also take over the guidance which truly also ensures that you reach the goal. You humans should all just know and believe that I Myself am love which does everything for its creations in order to save them from the abyss, from a new banishment into matter …. You should only believe that you can trust Me unconditionally, that you are saved if only you adhere to Me …. For I also take all your weaknesses into account and will always provide you with strength to walk the earthly path with the right direction …. I will always walk beside you and you will be able to cover the ascent effortlessly, for you will walk it by My hand and you will always find the right support when the ascent seems difficult to you. But the goal is glorious, for all burden and toil, all tribulation, suffering and hardship will fall away from you as soon as you have reached the gate of eternity and the kingdom of light will receive you, where all glories await you and you will be blissfully happy ….

Amen

God wants to be loved and not feared ….

B.D. 8348 from December 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I do not want you to look upon Me as an avenging and punishing God Who ruthlessly condemns and inflicts hardest punishments on all those who act in opposition to Him …. I do not want to cause you to fear Me as a stern Judge because I only want you to love Me …. I want to gain your love, therefore you should also recognise Me in My nature and give no credence to those who provide you with a completely wrong image of Me which will never be suitable to awaken love for your God and Creator Who is also your Father and wants to be recognised as Father …. Every doctrine which portrays Me as a God of revenge and an eternally wrathful Judge is wrong, for such misguided teachings will only ever increase the distance between you and Me, because as long as love for Me is not in you, you cannot come closer to Me either …. My fundamental substance is love and you emerged from this love …. But this love remains unchanging and constantly requests reciprocated love …. It can neither change itself nor vanish, and therefore My love will apply to you for all eternity. It will follow you into the deepest abyss in order to release you from it again …. but at no time ever will I throw you into this abyss, I will never ever condemn that which originated from Me, even if it opposes Me and rejects My love. But this love will do whatever it takes in order to encourage you, My living creations, to come close to Me again …. My love will seek to attract your love until, one day, you yourselves will turn to Me with burning love and try to find unity with Me. And then your fate will be unlimited bliss as it was in the beginning before you rejected My illumination of light. My nature has been wrongly portrayed to you humans on earth, at best you fear Me if you acknowledge Me as a Power which brought everything into existence …. but you dare not come to Me like children and appeal to Me for something because you are unaware of My greater than great love for you which wants to give itself away yet requires you to approach Me voluntarily ….

However, I do not merely want to be recognised as a God of power but also as a God of love and therefore I constantly reveal Myself to people who experience hardship or sad events an untold number of times in earthly life and are time and again helped to overcome them …. They would certainly be able to recognise Me as a loving God Who knows everything and time after time is willing to help …. For I come close to every human being in earthly life, by just paying attention to it he would be able to detect a higher providence in his earthly life, in his destiny, in all experiences he encounters. But I also reveal Myself to people through the Word, I speak to them and also give them a sign of My great love by admonishing and warning them, by offering advice and comfort, by plainly explaining to them their purpose of life and promising them strength and assistance for their earthly progress so that it may lead to the goal, to unity with Me …. For the Father longs for His children who emerged from His love …. and love will never abandon its children. However, for as long as the human being fails to recognise God’s love because false doctrines only taught him to fear God …. he will not establish the right relationship of a child to its Father either, and his return to Me will be at risk. And you can reject every doctrine as error if it causes you to be frightened of your God and Creator, for I take pity on the greatest sinner and try to help him, but I do not worsen his state of torment which he precipitated himself …. I do not condemn but lift all fallen beings up again …. I do not punish, instead the being punishes itself as a result of its guilt of sin and I try to bring him redemption. And what you consider divine Judgment is only a just compensation and helpful act on My part, because every transgression against My eternal order must have a lawful consequence, in which case I only ever help that which has become disorderly back into order again, because My love and wisdom recognises this to be beneficial, for I want to give Myself away and Am only able to do so within the scope of My eternal order …. And whatever you humans regard as sad only ever helps you to fit into My law of eternal order again one day so that I will then also be able to bestow gifts upon you once more, so that I will be able to make you happy with My infinite love, as it was in the beginning ….

Amen

Redemption of the guilt of sin through the blood of Jesus ….

B.D. 8349 from December 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You humans should all take notice of the work of salvation which the man Jesus accomplished on earth in order to make atonement for the exceeding sinfulness of the created spirits’ past apostasy from Me and in order to satisfy My justice …. this is why I sent My disciples out into the world to proclaim Me and My love which manifested itself in the man Jesus, for love accomplished this work of mercy, and love is I Myself …. Thus My disciples had to mention Me time and again when proclaiming My gospel, they had to inform people of My divine commandments of love for the first time and also inform them of Jesus Christ’s act of salvation …. they always had to remember the One Who sent them into the world with the mission to feed people with My word and, in remembrance of Me, to inform them of the sacrifice on the cross which the man Jesus offered. The knowledge of this sacrifice on the cross shall be given to all people, and this knowledge will not be lost as long as there are still unredeemed spiritual beings which walk the earth as human beings. All people shall know that a human being shed His blood in purest, selfless love in order to redeem their guilt, which required an exceedingly great sacrifice of atonement, in order to be considered a just compensation towards their God and father ….. Yet time and again you are told that you, as human beings, are unable to grasp the magnitude of this sacrifice on the cross, yet it should suffice you to know that Jesus Christ has to be acknowledged as God’s son and redeemer of the world, in Whom the eternal love embodied Himself in order to redeem people from sin and death. And this knowledge should prompt you to take the path to the cross, i.e. to freely confess your guilt, to hand your guilt over to Him and repentantly ask for forgiveness …. for purification in order to be able to step before the face of God again, Whom you humans can now behold in Jesus Himself …. Know that it is only ever My effort to let you find the path to the cross …. that I do everything to make this problem of My human manifestation in Jesus and My sacrificial death on the cross understandable to you through My messengers, through My disciples, whom I choose Myself, because there is no other salvation for you to be released from the guilt of your past apostasy from God ….. because only the divine redeemer Jesus Christ has redeemed this guilt and therefore you must acknowledge His act of salvation and also accept the blessings of His act of salvation, otherwise you will eternally be unable to return to Me as your father …. because I cannot accept a sinful being into My kingdom of light and bliss. But you must be washed clean through His blood, which He shed for you on the cross …. His death was a sacrificial death, for He voluntarily took it upon Himself, He voluntarily walked an unspeakably difficult path of suffering which was then crowned by death on the cross, which brought humanity redemption from sin and death …. But you can also be certain that every human being’s guilt was redeemed through His act of mercy, that He shed His blood for all people past, present and future and that only your free will is necessary to accept this act of mercy; thus you must want to belong to those whom His blood has washed clean of all guilt. He gave His life on the cross …. He consciously took the last path when He sacrificed Himself for the sins of humanity, and thus you must also consciously take the path to Him, under His cross …. Redemption cannot be given to you against your will …. A ‘human being’ offered this most difficult sacrifice because I, as God, could not have suffered and therefore also withdrew in the end, even though I completely filled Him with My strength of love, yet the man Jesus no longer used this unusual strength in order to liberate Himself from all adversity and torment …. which was indeed possible for Him …. but He suffered as a mere human being and died as a mere human being on the cross …. With His blood He ransomed humanity from My adversary, who still has a right to the souls as long as they do not make use of Jesus’ act of salvation and the treasure of grace. But My adversary has to release those who want to be redeemed, because the great sacrifice was offered on the cross for this. And if I repeatedly convey the knowledge of this to you humans, you should also pass it on, you should proclaim My name in the world, in Whom alone salvation can be found …. You should spread My teaching of love and always mention Him Who Himself gave the commandments of love, Who Himself lived a life of love on earth and finally accomplished the greatest work of love through His death on the cross, because He wanted to redeem you from the sin which had kept you separated from Him for eternities and which you yourselves would not have been able to remove for eternity either …. But your earthly path as a human being will also be in vain if it does not lead to the cross of Golgotha …. For My adversary cannot and will not follow you on this path, he will have to release you, for then he will have lost all right to you, and your former apostasy from Me will have been atoned for through love ….

Amen

The word of God is proof of Himself ….

B.D. 8350 from December 8th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I speak to you and give you proof of My existence and My presence through My word. Yet again, only a few people accept this as evidence, and in order not to make their faith unfree every person will also be able to give himself another explanation if he wants to. For the evidence of My existence will never be so strong that the human being will have to believe ….. But My address is also only meant for people whose resistance against Me has already diminished, for those who are still firmly in My adversary’s control do not acknowledge Me, and they will also stubbornly reject clear evidence and signs because their will is still completely directed against Me. Thus I will no longer win these before the end, they will remain in bondage to My adversary and will have travelled their earthly path in vain …. Yet I speak to those who are still undecided in order to induce them to think, and if only they have an open heart for My address I will also still win them over before it is too late. The adversity of the time will make many people willing to accept My word, for even if the living conditions appear to be good, even if the world offers earthly goods which are desirable to every person …. nevertheless great adversity will fatefully be recognizable, because time and again disasters of all kinds will startle people out of their spiritual lethargy and give rise to questions or self-contemplation. I know about the emotions of every human heart, thus I also know when My word can be conveyed to them so that it will not remain without impression …. And truly, My messengers always stand by the path when a wanderer passes by who is in need of refreshment …. I establish the strangest connections between people, I tie on threads which seem quite impossible to you …. I always direct My word to where it is needed and where an accepting heart desires comfort and encouragement …. I also know how to find those who search for truth and send out questioning thoughts into infinity …. They too will be considered according to their will. And you who serve Me on earth can always rely on Me to show you the right ways. And if you yourselves are willing to alleviate spiritual hardship, if you have mercy on your fellow human beings, then you will also always act in accordance with My will, which I clearly place in your heart. Always let yourselves be driven if you feel inwardly urged to do this or that …. There is nothing arbitrary about what you experience, what is presented to you or what moves your thoughts …. My visible guidance is always recognizable by the effects which every event entails. For I know how much people need My words who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary. And time and again I will address you and impart strength to you to be active on My behalf and to spread My word.

(8.12.1962) You will also always be allowed to enjoy My protection, for My work shall not be endangered, yet a giving of the pure truth in the form of My word is not often possible because people are still too bound to earthly knowledge or to spiritual knowledge which was given to them from outside, which cannot be regarded as pure truth because it is always based on spiritual knowledge taken over from fellow human beings which is not free from error …. For you humans have no idea in what way and to what extent My adversary is active in the last days before the end. He creates confusion wherever he can, and precisely those people who are convinced of their clear intellectual thinking, who therefore also research intellectually to uncover spiritual secrets, are strongly exposed to his influence …. The truth only emanates from Me alone but it is accessible to every person who takes the direct path to Me so that I can now also consider him and this happens in many ways …. by meeting light bearers who can give him the light from Me, or also through scriptures which likewise have Me Myself as their origin …. Let it be said to you humans that you can all come into possession of the pure truth if only you approach Me Myself with an earnest desire for the only truth …. For once this desire has awakened in you, then your attitude towards Me will also be such that I can comply with your desire …. For there will hardly be a person who desires pure spiritual truth who walks completely without love, because he does not acknowledge Me Myself either, he is without any bond with Me and therefore does not take the path to Me either …. The fact that pure truth can also be conveyed to people through beings of light is certain, for time and again I tell you that these beings of light will teach nothing other than what they receive from Me themselves, that they therefore also only distribute pure truth and therefore the result must always be the same. And therefore, even if the deepest wisdom, the most profound knowledge from Me, cannot yet be made accessible to a bearer of light …. because everything I distribute knows no limitation …. yet everything must agree, for I always express Myself in such a way that it is comprehensible to all people and that therefore it should not be believed that I make the transmission of truth dependent on sharper intellectual thinking, rather, even the most simple person will be able to clearly understand what I impart to him through My word, and he will not need to seek clarification or deepening of his knowledge elsewhere …. Just don’t let the spiritual knowledge lie idle but pass it on, for all your fellow human beings are in spiritual hardship who have no knowledge whatsoever about their task of earthly life and the purpose of their existence as a human being …. This is why I provide for you, My servants on earth, abundantly, and you will never need to starve, My flow of grace will never stop flowing as long as you yourselves are willing to serve Me and I can now direct this flow of grace to earth through you …. For My love for My living creations is endless, and it only ever seeks to save those who are in danger of being lost again for a long time ….

Amen

Confused thinking of humanity …. Admitting the truth ….

B.D. 8351 from December 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

This, too, is a sign of the confusion of human thinking, that it is difficult to make people believe that I make Myself known through the inner word. For their thinking does not reach beyond their intellect, they try to explain everything intellectually …. and since the human being only ever has limited abilities as long as he is not spiritually attuned …. My adversary’s influence is still too strong for him to recognise a divine-spiritual working. Then he always looks for an explanation corresponding to his own confused intellect for unusual spiritual processes. This explanation will always be ‘satanic activity’ in the case of religious fanatics, while completely earthly-minded people will look for an explanation in fantasies and religious, enthusiastic ideas ….. For they are only able to recognize all spiritual activity through the spirit within themselves …. And this is only awakened through love, which is why no understanding can be expected from unloving people, whereas the person who is willing to love thinks about it and is also willing to accept what is conveyed to him about the ‘working of My spirit’ in the human being. But how far away are people from love and also from truth …. The truth can only be understood by a person who is willing to love, and love has grown cold, so that only a few people ever live in truth, that only a few people ever recognize Me Myself and My voice when it is heard or conveyed to them by My messengers. I Myself am unusually active in the last days before the end in order to wrest the souls My adversary holds captive from Me …. but I am not recognized and yet cannot influence a person through coercion that he opens himself to My voice …. Dense darkness lies over the earth which could well chase away My light from above, yet anyone who does not allow the shine of the light to penetrate him, who closes himself when a ray of My light wants to enter his heart, will not find his way out of the darkness, for his free will alone determines whether I or My adversary gains influence over him …. People’s thinking is excessively taken up by the world, by matter, which My adversary always enticingly presents to them …. They only ever use their intellect to increase their worldly advantages, to increase their earthly wealth, and the more confused their thinking will become, for it distances itself from everything divine and spiritual …. Man can no longer think spiritually because he is filled with the world belonging to My adversary, who is the prince of this world …. And until the over-strong urge in him to provide his body with all comforts subsides, until he feels the world’s goods to be stale and dull and now seeks something else which satisfies him and which he can only find by spiritual means, he will not clarify his thinking either, and he will be unable to recognize and accept My gifts of grace. Nevertheless, time and again attempts shall be made to offer them to worldly people, attempts shall be made to awaken their interest and to point them to the actual purpose of earthly life. For time and again such people are mentally influenced by the beings of light which were given to them as guides for their earthly course …. And strokes of fate or sorrowful occasions can nevertheless change their thinking one day and make them realize the emptiness of their existence. And therefore no effort should be spared on the part of My servants on earth in order to save a soul from spiritual darkness time and again …. For patience and perseverance can achieve much, because time and again My wisdom and care also create opportunities which can change the thinking of an obdurate person …. which is why you should also learn to look at the many disasters and accidents which affect people as means used by My love to bring such people to their senses who find it very difficult to detach themselves from the world and matter …. And what My word does not achieve can bring about such strokes of fate, and only then can I confront such people in the word and also address them through My mediators …. Only then will they attach meaning to this word and think it through …. And then My word can also become a bright light for them, in the light of which they recognize the right path and walk it …. For I want to bring salvation to all people from their spiritual adversity …. But people must not erect barriers themselves which completely shut them off from Me, because I will not force their transformation into right thinking against their will ….

Amen

State of paradise on the new earth ….

B.D. 8352 from December 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I want to turn the earth into a place of peace again where love reigns supreme, where there is no hostility, where all created beings live together in harmony and happiness, where the radiance of people’s love will also beneficially touch all still constrained spiritual substances, where everyone makes an effort to help his fellow human being spiritually as well as earthly …. and where I Myself, the Eternal Love, will be able to dwell amongst people because nothing of a negative nature prevents Me from doing so …. It is My will that the earth will once again serve in helping the human race to attain utmost maturity, so that many people will be able to leave earth in a perfected state because they are closely united with Me and thus they will no longer be burdened by the effects of the past original sin, for they all will have been redeemed on earth through Jesus Christ already and therefore can be placed onto the new earth …. For their removal from the old earth prior to Judgment Day is evidence that they belong to Me, it is proof that they have found union with Me on the old earth …. that they are free of all vices and cravings which thus enabled Me to return them to the new earth ….

And a new period of redemption will begin which will at first result in many human souls’ maturity because My adversary will be bound and unable to oppress these souls and also because they voluntarily abandoned all resistance …. hence they had already become My Own and only live an earthly life for the sake of the succeeding generations, for they shall bear witness to My might and glory, they shall be able to speak from their own experience about the state of the old earth and also teach their descendants to love Me …. Their children and children’s children will be imbued with love as well; their souls will not be far from their original state, for they were conceived in pure, unselfish love due to My adversary’s lack of influence on the people who populate the new earth …. Love, however, is strength which can truly hasten the soul’s maturing, it can also help the bound spiritual substances to leave their form and they, too, will relinquish their resistance and always move forward in their development according to My will ….

This state will continue for a long time …. during which many of the fallen spirits will return to Me in a perfect state, during which I will gain many ‘children’ and My as well as their happiness will know no bounds, for I know that all fallen spirits will return to Me one day and that My eternal plan of Salvation will not be unsuccessful. And yet, even this state on the new earth will change again one day, for ever more souls will incarnate which had passed through the creations of the world and the inclination for material things will break through once more …. rarely at first but steadily increasing, and the desire for material goods will also loosen My adversary’s chains, for people’s free will is decisive and this can be influenced by My adversary again because the people themselves will no longer resist him. Yet time and again My love will also help these souls and the struggle for them will start anew, however, people’s resolve itself will decide which lord shall be victorious. For the knowledge of Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, will also be imparted to these new generations …. Hence they will not be left helplessly at the mercy of My opponent and will also abandon their resistance sooner, because their faith in Me as God and Creator will still be strong enough and thus My influence through the voice of conscience will have an effect ….

Nevertheless, it will no longer be the paradise-like life that it was in the beginning, people will go through inner conflicts, My adversary’s temptations will not fail to materialise themselves and the struggle for existence, too, will get harder yet be easily endurable for those people who remain faithful to Me and foster the love within themselves …. And even then My messengers of light will help people, partly embodied as human beings, partly exerting a spiritual influence on those who entrust themselves to them and remain in constant contact with Me. And as long as love reigns My influence on people will be strong and no regression into the abyss will have to be feared …. for My adversary fights against love in vain ….

Amen

Messiah, Saviour of humankind ….

B.D. 8353 from December 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

From bright heights I descended to earth to carry My light into the darkness …. The sun of the spirit had gone down, no ray of light illuminated the darkness of night, and humanity suffered dreadful hardship. And those who recognised their adversity screamed to Me for help, they called for a Saviour to rescue them, for these few were not entirely imprisoned by My adversary, they lived a life of love and had not completely lost their bond with Me as yet, and thus appealed to Me in their distress to send them a Saviour. And so I sent My Son to earth …. A spirit of light, Who emerged from My love and remained loyal to Me when the host of original spirits deserted Me …. offered Himself for an act which was unique yet nevertheless brought redemption to all humankind …. He descended to earth and dwelled amongst the people.

He started His life on earth like any other human being but had accepted that he must fulfil a great mission: to shape Himself, i.e. His earthly shell, such that it could serve Me as an abode, because I wanted to tend to My living creations Myself, I Myself wanted to redeem their immense guilt with which they had burdened themselves due to their voluntary apostasy from Me …. This being of light, a child of My love, offered Itself to accomplish this act of atonement as a human being on My behalf and, as a soul, took abode in the infant Jesus and began His earthly progress, which was so incredibly sorrowful because His earthly body was intended to become spiritualised as well in order to serve Me Myself, the Eternal Love, as a dwelling. Even at His birth the world around Him was already able to recognise that this infant was the promised Messiah, for His great abundance of light broke through from time to time and expressed itself in extraordinarily profound speeches by the infant. Yet His soul was exceedingly harassed by My adversary who incited all spirits still belonging to him into taking possession of His body so that, due to this influence, the body became subject to powerful temptations against which the man Jesus subsequently had to fight so as not to succumb to them. Love gave Him the strength to do so yet He had to exert great effort, and the whole of His earthly life was a true path of the cross, which He nevertheless voluntarily took upon Himself for love of His fallen brothers, whose extensive hardship was known to Him. But His life was also an uninterrupted service of love, and since I Am Love Itself I was always able to be in Him and provide Him with the strength to fulfil the mission: to accomplish the act of atonement for humanity’s immense guilt of sin ….

He was My Son, He was a soul of light which found complete union with Me on earth, which accomplished the work of deification which is the goal of every one of My created beings: to change from a ‘living creation’ into ‘My child’ which voluntarily accepts My will completely and thereby is able to attain the highest degree of perfection. Jesus was a non-fallen original spirit, and yet this deification had to take place in free will which was achieved by taking the path through earthly life …. the path through the abyss …. And thus His soul had to be exposed to all harassments on the part of My adversary, because he wanted to possess this soul too, whose fall he had been unable to bring about. And since the earth was his kingdom …. hence the kingdom of the fallen spirits …. Jesus’ soul was exposed to all satanic instincts and harassments, and the human being Jesus had to resist them, in the face of all temptations he had to stand by Me as His Father of eternity, He had to make Me His comrade-in-arms and did this by constantly requesting My love and through His activity of love also received it, because love does not deny Itself and the great love of the man Jesus drew Me tremendously. And by virtue of this love …. for love is strength in itself …. He was able to put up resistance and continue with the act of Salvation until the end. The Saviour had been sent to mankind in truth; the Messiah had come as had been promised long before …. The light had descended to earth in order to illuminate the hearts of those who acknowledged Him, who recognised that I was in Him Myself and wanted to bring people salvation from sin and death …. And the light penetrated the darkness …. In Jesus emerged a fighter Who defeated My adversary …. For His weapon was love, and My adversary fights against love in vain, he will always succumb to love for I Am Love Itself, and I Am truly stronger than the one who once plunged you into the abyss ….

Amen

State of powerlessness and lightlessness ….

B.D. 8354 from December 13th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

To pass through the earth valley requires strength, for the human being is a weak creature as long as he has not yet found the bond with Me again, from Whom he receives strength when he wants it himself. The being, which now lives on earth embodied as a human being, had once renounced its strength and light; it had voluntarily departed from Me and exchanged its powerful state for a wretched state of weakness in deepest darkness …. This initial dreadful state has already been remedied by My love and with My help to such an extent that the being can receive a small measure of strength, namely the vitality necessary for being a human being, which now enables it to move on earth with a certain freedom of will and can now will, think and act on its own …. Thus it uses the life force flowing to it for earthly work in order to meet the demands placed on its body, thus in order to be physically active …. It has also been given so much light that it is able to mentally weigh up what is beneficial for body and soul ….. And if he now evaluates this ability correctly, that he not only thinks of his body but also of his soul.… if he not only uses the vitality at his disposal for the body’s well-being but also acquires spiritual treasures with it, that he also uses the body’s strength for unselfish activity of love, then he will soon also be able to increase the measure of strength, for then he will receive unmeasured strength from Me which he will use spiritually again and soon emerge from the state of lack of light and strength and slowly approach his original state which meant strength and light in all abundance for the being. Then his earthly existence as a human being will have brought him complete success, then the being will have returned to its divine nature which it once voluntarily changed into the opposite. And you can see from this that earthly life as a human being is a gift of grace for you which My love bestows upon you because you deprived yourselves of strength and light and voluntarily turned away from Me ….. Yet My love for you, My living creations, is so great that it took pity on Me to know that you were without strength and light and I wanted to redeem you from it again …. I had certainly lost you to My adversary, yet only temporarily, and that is as long as your free will applied to him. And since you were immersed in complete darkness you would never have turned your will towards Me of your own accord …. Therefore, for the time being I had to help you back into a state where you could use your free will again in all freedom …. And since all power is at My disposal I snatched from My adversary the creatures which had risen from My strength, which were therefore also My share, and banished them into creations of various kinds, so that through service in the law of compulsion they attained a degree of maturity again which then also enabled a decision in free will. And this degree of maturity is now reached when you are allowed to embody yourselves as a human being on earth and then you also receive your free will back, which should now decide again to which lord you want to belong. This was and is My activity of love for you, who emerged from My love, that I will not leave you in the wretched state of powerlessness and lightlessness, that I will do everything in order to help you attain beatitude again, which you voluntarily surrendered through your apostasy from Me but which you shall nevertheless attain one day because you are divine living creations. For this reason earthly life as a human being is an unheard-of grace for you which you should not forfeit by using the influx of life energy wrongly, i.e. by only using it for the benefit of your body. For that would be tantamount to a decision for My adversary, and you will sink into deepest darkness again and will still have to languish in it for eternal times until you are offered the opportunity again in a renewed earthly life …. after another endlessly long walk through the creations of earth …. you will be given the opportunity again to make the decision of will …. You can reach your goal in one course of development, but you can also have to go through repeated re-cannings in hard matter if time and again your free will is wrongly directed, if time and again you refuse to acknowledge Me as your God and creator and therefore remain in a state devoid of light and strength until your stubbornness is broken, until you voluntarily surrender to Me one day ….. which may take eternities but one day your will will certainly long for unification with Me and you will then consciously unite with Me as a human being on earth in order to be unspeakably blissful forever ….

Amen

Jesus' promises must be fulfilled ….

B.D. 8355 from December 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You shall be introduced to the truth by My spirit …. I gave you this promise when I lived on earth because I knew that you always had to stand in the truth in order to become blessed …. because I also knew that the pure truth would never last long among people, for they were and are imperfect and will never receive the perfect, pure truth unchanged …. You humans who think about it will never be able to claim that a transformation of the pure truth is not possible, nor will you be able to claim that I Myself cannot allow such a change of truth, for since you possess free will as a characteristic of your divine origin I cannot and will not curtail this free will if the human being makes changes of his own accord to the spiritual knowledge which originally came forth from Me as My word …. And this alone substantiates My new revelations which I send to you so that you will also be able to move in truth if this is your serious will …. It is so easy to understand that I, as the eternal truth, will only ever be anxious to make them accessible to My living creations, since I don’t want them to live in spiritual darkness, because then they would never find their way back to Me. Yet seek Me a word from the scriptures which states that I will never ever express Myself to people again, because I will never be able to find My way back to them …. allegedly …. in this book of the fathers and thus now remain silent towards those who desire to hear the father’s voice …. You will not be able to provide this proof, for My fatherly love truly knows what My children need on earth and also always turns to them what they need …. And you humans have distanced yourselves from the pure truth because you …. as long as you are still unawakened in spirit …. you do not understand how to interpret My word in scripture correctly either …. For you do not grasp the spiritual meaning of the word, otherwise not so many errors would have been able to assert the pure truth and humanity would walk along in bright light, whereas the opposite is the case …. And whether you learn all the letters by heart, they remain dead as long as the spirit is not awakened. But an awakened spirit hears My voice and recognizes it as the father‘s voice, because spirit speaks to spirit and beneficently touches the soul. “My sheep recognize My voice …. “Why do I emphasize this? Because you should all ask yourselves whether you are My sheep …. you represent My word which is written in the scriptures which testify of Me …. But then you must also represent everything I Myself have spoken as the man Jesus, and then you will be very clearly informed that I reveal Myself to people who ‘love Me and keep My commandments …. “And then you will also not be able to claim that every direct address on My part contradicts the book of books. You yourselves have created statutes for yourselves and adhere to them ironclad …. For you the book of books is regarded as complete, which certainly contains everything that is useful for the human being to know …. but remains without value for the person whose spirit is not awakened and who (not) understands the spiritual meaning of the word. And if I now inform people Myself that and how the spirit in them has to be awakened …. if I want to help them to enlighten their spirit through My direct address so that they will also learn to understand My written word …. then you cannot deny such proof of love on My part or dismiss it as adversarial activity …. For then you will only prove that you yourselves are still unawakened in spirit, that you read My word and do not think about the fact that every promise I Myself made to people has to come true. And I said: ‘I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth, Who will guide you into all truth and remind you of what I have said to you …. ” I have said, “I will remain with you until the end …. ” “He who believes in Me, as the scripture says, from his body will flow rivers of living water …. ” I have said, “You must all be taught of God …. ” and also gave many other indications about the “working of My spirit in you.” But have you already seriously considered these words of Mine, how and if they come true? No …. for otherwise you truly could not doubt My direct utterances, you could not accuse Me Myself of lying, but you must believe what I have said and gratefully receive what I offer you …. And behold the great spiritual hardship around you which truly could not be if all people would read the book of books enlightened by the spirit. But since people do not fulfil the prerequisites for enlightenment through the spirit, which consist of unselfish activity of love, this book, which could indeed suffice to lead people to beatitude, is of no use to them either …. Yet they don’t understand it and are mostly just formal christians whose mouths speak differently than their hearts are made of …. But I cannot be satisfied with a pseudo-christianity, for where unselfish neighbourly love is lacking there can be no light, there is no living faith, otherwise I Myself would be recognized in every word which My greater than great love sends to people from above because they need help; for it is the time of the end and only the pure truth can give people the light which illuminates their path that leads back to Me ….

Amen

God's care for the vineyard labourers ….

B.D. 8356 from December 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Those of you who offer to work in My vineyard are being led and guided by Me …. Nevertheless, you must consider it a priority, for you receive and distribute everlasting spiritual possessions …. whereas all secular work merely provides you with transient goods …. And do you know how long your existence on earth will last? …. Hence, you can work and work and yet derive no benefit from what you acquire through earthly exertion …. The work for Me and My kingdom, however, is followed by many spiritual blessings which will be permanent and will also provide earthly benefits, for you will truly not need to live in want as long as you, as My servants, fulfil the will of your Guardian, as long as you are of service to Me during the last days before the end when I will particularly require your assistance. You can indeed believe that your earthly worries will diminish as long as you consider your work for Me more important, for I said ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God …. and all these things shall be added unto you ….’ Even so, as long as worldly needs are taken into account first, the work for Me will fade into the background and then you will find it increasingly more difficult to commit yourselves to Me and My kingdom …. Your thoughts will be far more inclined towards the world; My kingdom, however, is not of this world and the human being must fight if he wants to make heartfelt contact with Me again …. But I urgently need you as fellow workers, because I don’t force anyone to place himself at My disposal since only a free act of cooperation will result in the blessing that the redemptive work will be successful, regardless of which work you accomplish for Me …. As soon as you are permeated by love for Me and your neighbour you are suitable assistants for Me and this love will always impart upon you the strength to work for Me. Therefore, don’t allow yourselves to become depressed by worldly worries which I can easily avert and will indeed do so once you predominantly commit yourselves to the spiritual profit you will achieve through your keen cooperation …. both for yourselves as well as for the souls needing redeeming and, not least of all, for Me as well, once I have regained these souls for Me through your activity for Me and My kingdom. You should always bear in mind that every person’s life can come to an end tomorrow and that no amount of earthly gain will be of use to you anymore, but that you may take the spiritually acquired rich treasure with you into the kingdom of the beyond and that your activity in this kingdom will then be a blessed one, because then you may distribute and receive again without limit. And if those of you who want to serve Me as faithful servants always bear a near end in mind, irrespective of whether it concerns the whole of the human race or just yourselves …. then you will recognise the futility of earthly labour and will surely give priority to spiritual work, and you will certainly also be sustained by Me Myself. You will not need to suffer hardship, because I Myself, as your Guardian, will look after your physical needs as well so that you will be able to accomplish your task …. You should believe that I will always find means and ways, that nothing is impossible for Me, that you only need to fulfil My will to be certain of My help at all times …. However, I will often also put you to the test as to whether you are willing to resist the world’s onslaught, and you need to pass such tests of faith because precisely your faith must be particularly strong if you want to withstand My adversary’s temptations, as he will confront you time and again in order to prevent you from working for Me and My kingdom …. But then you should know that My power is stronger and that I will certainly protect you from him if only you are willing to be of service to Me ….

Amen

Knowledge of the cause of the deficiency ….

B.D. 8357 from December 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I do not want your ruin but only your bliss …. You have created your own wretchedness and I want to release you from it again and give you a blissful life which will last forever. But it is necessary for this that you voluntarily submit yourselves to the law of My eternal order, the principle of which is only ever love …. You emerged from love, the strength of love let everything come into being, all spiritual and earthly works of creation were brought into being by My strength of love, and everything that emerged from My love can be called accomplished. But you humans …. i.e. your soul …. voluntarily stepped out of My flow of love and thereby became imperfect, thus also wretched. But My fundamental nature is and remains love, which is unchanging and never ends …. And this love also takes hold of what has become wretched and seeks to illuminate it and restore its bliss …. But it remains ineffective as long as it is resisted, as long as the wretched being closes itself to My illumination of love …. So for as long as it can no longer experience the bliss of My illumination of love, and for as long as the being is outside My divine order …. This process has to be explained to you humans again and again so that you will learn to understand why you are wretched and what this wretchedness consists of: that you are weak, imperfect beings who are limited in strength and knowledge …. which can indeed want but usually take the wrong direction of will because they lack all knowledge, which cannot always carry out their will because they lack the strength to do so, which go through earthly life with darkened spirits and lack all knowledge about their original state and their relationship to their God and creator …. and which cannot change their inadequate state themselves as long as they lack love, as long as they do not voluntarily integrate themselves into the law of order. If you now want to remedy this unfortunate state of imperfection you must also know about it for the time being, and now you will also recognize the importance of My commandments of love, for the knowledge of the reason for these two commandments of Mine must be conveyed to you or you would not be able to be called to account …. precisely because you are poorly formed due to your once wrongly directed will. And if you now try to fulfil My commandments of love you will truly also be helped to beatitude, for then you will enter into close contact with Me again, Who is eternal love, and then you will no longer be without strength and light, because you will open yourselves to My illumination of love again through loving activity. Thus you will also attain eternal life again, for then you will return to Me because love urges you on to love, and you will have escaped ruin, then you will no longer be able to fall back into the abyss once love has been kindled in you, instead you will constantly ascend, for there is no limit for all perfection, it constantly strives towards Me, and in this desire and striving towards Me it finds its happiness which will never end. But as long as you are imperfect and live on earth as a human being I will only ever try to encourage you to love, for only love conveys strength and light to you, only love unites you with Me, only love returns you to the original state in which you were infinitely happy. And therefore you will also understand why I repeatedly address you humans and recite the commandments of love to you …. You will also understand why I send My disciples into the world who are to inform people of their earthly task and who preach the gospel of love to them time and again …. For you came forth from My love, and My endless love wants to make you happy …. But you must first become love again yourselves, for I can only unite Myself with the same but never have contact with beings which have turned into the opposite, for their resistance also nullifies the effect of My strength of love …. which is why it first has to be broken before I Myself can work in a person again …. but then he is also assured of unlimited beatitudes, for he will live eternally in light and strength and freedom and be able to behold Me face to face ….

Amen

Limitation of God's effect of love ….

B.D. 8358 from December 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You cannot grasp how great My love for you is …. For you can only grasp limited things, yet My love is unlimited, it never ends and fills everything that exists, be it spiritual or earthly creations …. It sustains everything that exists, and it will eternally not turn away from My living creations even if they have voluntarily distanced themselves from Me, for they are products of My love which are indissolubly united with Me. They are strength of love once emanated by Me …. thus My fundamental substance is always and forever in the beings I have created. I Myself am in all works of creation, I am in the smallest grain of sand as well as in the entire universe, for nothing could exist if it were not permeated by My strength of love, for every work of creation is precisely this strength of love …. Thus your whole being must also shelter Me Myself within itself, even if it is not perfect, i.e. has voluntarily turned itself into the opposite …. But it is imperishable because it is love-power from Me …. Yet just as the sun emits no light when it is densely covered by clouds, My ray of love cannot shine through dense coverings which the wrongly directed will has allowed to come into being. And the being’s free will first has to dissolve these covers again before My ray of love can penetrate and the being also feels My love as beatitude …. You can therefore certainly say that I am in you because otherwise you would not be, for everything that exists is strength from Me …. And I Myself am the source of strength, I Myself am the strength and the light …. And thus you will understand that the being’s imperfection also hinders My working of love, that as long as a person’s soul …. the once fallen being …. limits My working of love through its imperfection, there cannot be complete harmony in him. Thus the human being must first enter the state of perfection, then he will no longer be burdened in any way, for all these burdens are still evidence that he has not yet attained the perfection again which originally made him happy …. Only few people, however, already attain this on earth, and therefore people are also more or less burdened with suffering and illnesses of all kinds. However, if they have an unusually high degree of love, then love will dissolve their soul’s dross, then My strength of love can take effect and also help the soul to ever higher maturity …. But then faith will also be so alive through love that every illness will disappear by virtue of faith, so that I can now also take possession of My house, of the human heart which belongs to Me again for eternity. But since My wisdom also plays a part in determining the fate of every individual person, all hardship and suffering often serve to create opportunities for the human being to go deeper and deeper into himself, to establish a bond with Me and thus to consciously strive for Me and My kingdom …. They serve to stimulate the human being to spiritual activity, to conscious vineyard work, in order to again help fellow human beings who are in spiritual need. Just such work requires a degree of maturity which is easier to achieve through suffering, where love and suffering contribute towards the human being reaching this high degree of maturity, which then also guarantees My illumination of love and is expressed in unusual working of the spirit …. For My love for you humans is exceedingly great, you who came forth from Me as My living creations and should return to Me again as My children …. And everything that concerns you, whether suffering or joy, is determined in My plan of salvation from eternity, because I know about the will of every individual and will do everything to ensure that it is rightly directed, so that one day it will also bring about the perfection of the being, which is the final goal of everything I let come into being ….

Bonding with God guarantees His illumination of love ….

B.D. 8359 from December 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

This is the surest sign of My love that I am always in contact with you, that you only need to raise your thoughts to Me in order to draw Me to you, that I always lean down to you and speak to you when you ask Me for it, when you want to hear My voice yourselves …. No-one will call to Me in vain if his prayer is directed to Me in spirit and in truth. For I long for this bond between you and Me because you are My children and because My fatherly love wants to find unity with you, which has to be accomplished of your own free will. But as soon as you yourselves are convinced of My love you will also give your love to Me, and then your return to Me, for the purpose of which you live on earth, will also be assured. I know no limitation, and therefore you can receive My illumination of love unmeasured …. Only open yourselves to this ray of love by never leaving Me out of your thoughts, by turning to Me time and again and conversing with Me in secret as often as possible, for then I will be able to answer you even if it is not obvious, but My emanation of strength is also an answer, and since you constantly need strength for your ascent upwards, there is no better way to receive My strength than that you intimately remember Me and mentally speak to Me. Yet what you receive yourselves you should also be able to distribute to your neighbour again, and therefore My flow of strength is sent to you in the form of My word, as a direct address which you can hold on to and pass on …. And this process is such visible evidence of My love that you should not give it up, for you are to be called rich, after all, you receive a gift of grace of greatest value which cannot be surpassed by anything earthly …. You receive the proof of My existence and My presence …. You can no longer deny God because you hear His address …. And you also receive an unmistakable sign of His love, for what He gives you are imperishable goods which you can no longer lose for ever …. I give you again what you had lost through your former apostasy from Me …. Light and strength are imparted to you again because My love knows about your lightless and powerless state and wants to remedy it …. For love always wants to give itself away, love wants to give and make happy …. And My word, which you receive, is truly a gift of grace which will make you happy, even if you are unable to appreciate its value on earth …. But in the kingdom of the beyond you will be able to look upon a wealth over which you will rejoice and exult, for you will be able to recognize Me Myself and My love and praise and glorify Me eternally …. Every person on earth could accept these proofs of My love, yet his free will alone decides whether he allows himself to be addressed by Me or rejects a gift of grace …. And only a loving person will correctly recognise this gift as a gift of love from his God and father of eternity …. And so that you now also feel a right love for Me, I would like to illuminate you, and therefore you should often and intimately remember Me to make this illumination possible …. For then you will open your heart for My flow of love which now touches you and fills you with strength which you use again for loving activity …. Time and again I want to fill your thoughts, I only want you not to switch Me off, that your daily routine often gives you the opportunity to send your thoughts upwards to the One Who created you and Who wants to make you endlessly happy, Who wants to help you to live a life of bliss which lasts forever. And truly, I will always be with you and you will feel My presence, for you will go through earthly life cheerfully and carefree, because you will never be without strength and therefore also able to cope with all demands made on you …. And you will mature spiritually, for the strength flowing to you from Me impels you into loving activity, and thereby you will also find unity with Me, which is the purpose and goal of your life on this earth ….

Amen

False reports from the astral world …. "spiritual guides" ….

B.D. 8360 from December 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I am truly always ready to speak to you humans who want to hear My voice and allow My spirit to work in you …. And I look down with pleasure upon you who come to your father as children and desire to hear Me …. And then I will also make My will known to you, I will give you, who still walk in darkness of spirit, a light, I will let the spiritual gifts buried in you break through, and you will regain the knowledge you had lost through your apostasy from Me …. I will also initiate you into My plan of salvation from eternity …. you shall receive information about My reign and activity in infinity, for you shall attain beatitude again, you shall emerge from your state of death and be awakened to eternal life, as was your original destiny …. Therefore I reveal Myself to you and to all people who live a life of love and intimately unite with Me through love …. For I Myself am love from eternity …. I am your God and creator, from Whose love you came forth …. I am your father, Who manifested Himself in Jesus …. Who therefore became a visible God for you in Jesus …. And this has to be explained to you again and again that Jesus and I are one, that the eternal Deity reveals Himself to you when Jesus speaks to you …. as I Myself spoke on earth: ‘To him who loves Me I will reveal Myself …. “But I will always reveal Myself through the spirit, if therefore ‘My spirit can work in you’ …. And you can also always feel addressed by Me as soon as you fully consciously unite with Me and expect My address …. But I give you to consider that I speak to you as a father speaks to his child …. clearly understandable, lovingly and wisely …. that I speak to your heart, not to your intellect, for once I have won your heart so that it beats towards Me with love, then the soul will suddenly be enlightened upon its entry into the kingdom of the beyond and know and understand everything which can never be imparted to it on earth, because such knowledge is meaningless for its earthly life, for its ascent development. And if you humans receive statements in a mediumistic state which make unusual demands on your intellect, you can conclude with certainty that such messages from the spiritual kingdom come to you from beings who only acquired their knowledge intellectually on earth, whose thoughts certainly dealt with spiritual questions but whose (unjust) bond with Me had not created the possibility that I Myself could reveal Myself to them …. They still move within a certain worldly knowledge which is not free of error, and they also try to transfer this to people. The recipients of such messages certainly also have the will to work for Me and My kingdom, yet as long as they hand themselves over to these spiritual beings instead of causing the spirit from Me to express itself within themselves, no act of violence can be used on account of their free will, for every person must intimately unite with Me himself and enable the expressions of My spirit, then he will also be able to be certain of the truth of what he now hears through the inner voice …. but which is then My voice, not that of a ‘guiding spirit’ which does not work on My behalf …. The human being should seriously examine what he gains from such messages for his soul, which, as long as it stays on earth, is only meant to increase its degree of love, but then it will be enlightened from within and truly does not need alleged enlightenments as they come to it from the astral world as alleged revelations of Jesus …. but which prove themselves to be error through the misrepresentation of the relationship: God …. Jesus …. For I am not to be thought of separately …. It is one being, and this being reveals Itself through the Spirit in you …. Although every person is free to believe what he wants, as soon as he is serious about the truth he must also earnestly request it from Me, Who is the eternal truth Myself. And I will quietly and tenderly work in a human heart, I Myself will kindle a light in him, and My eternal plan of salvation will also be revealed to him, yet such that he can and will only burn with ardent love for Me, because My infinite love, greater than great wisdom and omnipotence will become apparent to him and he will then also be able to receive ever deeper wisdom, yet only ever by way of a true revelation from Me through the working of My spirit in him …. And then you will also learn to separate error from truth, because the eternal truth itself enlightens you, which can never err ….

Amen
