The end is near ….

B.D. 8361 from December 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 88

Every day brings you closer to the end …. For the time is fulfilled and My eternal plan of salvation will be carried out, which was recognized by My love and wisdom as successful for countless beings who are still in ascent development and need My help. And although you are not given the day and hour you can nevertheless expect this end with certainty as being imminent, for you are in the last days …. And this will pass very quickly and bring many unforeseen events by which you will be able to recognize the truth of these words ever more clearly. Yet whatever may happen I protectively keep My hands spread over My own, over those people who are consciously in contact with Me, who want to belong to My own and who are also closely united with Me through prayer and activity of love. Although it seems that the world will experience an upswing, people’s prosperity will seemingly constantly increase and no thought will be further from their minds than that everything could suddenly change and the greatest adversity and gloom will befall people …. But as soon as I let My voice sound through the elements of nature, misery and chaos will set in, and the last phase on this earth has begun and will also pass very quickly …. And I will keep reminding you of this so that you do not become lukewarm and lethargic in this time which still offers you everything …. It will not remain like this and the hardship will affect you all the more terribly, you who know nothing of My eternal plan of salvation, who cannot draw strength from a living faith in Me, Who can and will always help if only I am called upon and thus acknowledged as God and creator, Who is full of love and uses His power because He is also your father, to Whom you should pray like children in spirit and in truth …. And truly, you will also endure the coming time of adversity, the time of greatest tribulation, and time and again you will be led out of every adversity as long as you keep to Me …. And the end will come just as surely not long after, for the day of the end has been fixed from eternity and it will be kept …. Therefore I can only ever call out to you humans: Remember the end …. Live in such a way that you need not fear the end, do not let yourselves be blinded by the apparent blossoming which you can observe everywhere around you …. Know that you live in the last days and make good use of them, then the last day need not frighten you either, for then you will only exchange this earth for a place of peace where I will transfer My own before the last work of destruction takes place …. which, however, is necessary for the still bound spirits which are to be liberated and which are to continue their upward development in new forms. The end has been announced to you long enough, for I have always informed you through seers and prophets that one day the day of judgment will come …. the day when everything will be ‘judged,’ i.e. transferred to where it belongs according to its degree of maturity …. be it the still bound spiritual or the human being who is also still on the path of his higher development and has let it come to a standstill through his wrongly directed will …. Everything has gone out of order and must be restored to the state of My order from eternity …. it has to be “straightened” so that the upward development of all spiritual things can continue again …. And you are now standing shortly before this ‘judgment’, and you will do well to reckon with it and prepare yourselves for a sudden end, so that you need not fear it …. But this requires faith in the truth of My predictions, and you will also gain this as soon as you make an effort to live a life of love, as soon as you strive to fulfil My will. Then everything I convey to you Myself from above will be understandable and credible in order to save you humans before the end comes ….

Amen

Christmas message 1962

B.D. 8362 from December 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

I Myself came to you because you needed Me in your great spiritual adversity …. I descended to earth; I entered the realm of darkness and brought a brightly shining light, for I Myself was the Light of Eternity which constantly emanates its radiance into the darkness …. And thus I took on a human shape because only as a human being was I able to accomplish that which signified to you salvation from the great hardship …. And this human being was the infant Jesus, Who was born to you in the Holy Night …. For this infant was conceived in all purity and without sin through My power and love and was therefore able to accept Me Myself, the Eternal Love, within Itself …. His was a soul of light which was able to serve Me as an abode, because I can only shelter in a pure vessel otherwise the bright light of My love would have been unable to shine. The infant Jesus was infused by the spirit of love, for His soul brought the love with it to earth …. It was a non-fallen original spirit Which did not close Itself to the love which I incessantly transmitted. And this original spirit did not relinquish Its love when It embodied Itself in the infant Jesus, It merely stemmed the radiance of Its abundant love as not to illuminate people with a brilliance they would have been unable to bear due to their imperfect state. However, unusual events took place at His birth which gave evidence to people who loved that the promised Messiah had come into the world. Yet only a few recognised Him, and thus the infant Jesus started Its earthly path like every other human being, for the mission It had to fulfil was under no circumstances allowed to impose a compulsory faith on people, for He, Jesus, was merely meant to show them the path which every person must take in order to ascend from the abyss into the light …. Nevertheless, the love of the infant Jesus was at times overwhelmingly powerful, for I Myself was this love, thus I had chosen the human shell so as to accomplish the greatest act of compassion on behalf of the sinful human race which, however, had to be accomplished by every human being who was capable of suffering in order to atone for these beings’ original sin of apostasy from Me …. I Myself descended to Earth and embodied Myself in a soul of light which voluntarily wanted to take the earthly path in order to serve Me Myself as an abode. Seers and prophets had already announced the Messiah to people long in advance, and those people who were still devoted to Me in love yearned for His arrival, and they soon recognised Him in the boy Jesus, they realised that His unusual wisdom was divine and that I had sent them the One Who was to bring them deliverance. Yet even Jesus was not allowed to compel people’s faith through His extraordinary strength and wisdom …. His brightly shining light of love certainly broke through every so often and My spirit expressed itself through Him but it nevertheless withdrew itself time and again, and the man Jesus lived His earthly life like any other human being, for He was meant to exemplify the right kind of life to people which they should follow if they wanted to release themselves from My adversary, who can only be defeated through and with love.

And since the soul …. although having descended from the kingdom of light …. had to live in the midst of the satanic world and its earthly body also consisted of immature spiritual substances, the man Jesus had to fight very hard to remain victorious against and during all temptation used by My adversary to make Him fall. Yet Jesus had not relinquished love, His soul was so filled by love for Me, His God and Father of eternity, that He thus was full of strength and light and therefore able to perform miracles and in all wisdom instruct His fellow human beings. Even so, His body imposed human limitations on Him as long as He had not fully matured, but He used His life on earth to that effect until He accomplished the actual act of Salvation, which concluded His suffering and death on the cross …. As a result of His life of love His body had indeed almost spiritualised already, yet He took His death on the cross upon Himself as a weak human being. And He voluntarily gave up all divine strength of love for the sake of the final hours of His act of compassion in order to then suffer incredibly and die as a mere human being and through this greatest act of atonement of all times to redeem the great original sin for the whole of humanity …. It was pure love which motivated Him to accomplish this work, and this love was I Myself …. Yet you will never ever understand this unless, of course, you, too, become pure love, as you were in the beginning …. Only then will you understand the nature of love, only then will you know why I Myself have to be acknowledged by you as your Redeemer from sin and death, and then you will also understand the fact that and Jesus and I are one, why ‘God’ can only be conceived by you in ‘Jesus’, and you will understand why a ‘human being’ had to accomplish this act of Salvation on earth …. For the atonement of the immense guilt of your past apostasy from Me was only possible to be rendered by a human being who was as full of love …. in whom I, the Eternal Love, was able to take abode …. as the man Jesus had been …. It was a truly unique act and the effect of the act of grace will never ever come to an end, so that all once fallen spiritual beings can be completely redeemed, because Jesus died on the cross for all human beings past, present and future and further atonement for this immense guilt will never be necessary again …. Nevertheless, the human being’s free will is always and forever required in order to find redemption from his guilt. The battle against My adversary, who had kept all fallen beings captive until then, started when the infant Jesus came into the world …. Yet Jesus severed the chains and wrestled from him the souls which took refuge in Him in their adversity, which availed themselves of the act of Salvation and wanted to be liberated from the adversary …. And the first souls, the first once-fallen original spirits, came back home to Me, they came back as children into the Father’s house again which they once voluntarily left, for the man Jesus had paid for their guilt with His death on the cross, and every soul becomes free which acknowledges Him, which recognises its God and Father in Him Who died on the cross on behalf of the human race ….

Amen

"I am with you all the days …. "

B.D. 8363 from December 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

“I am with you always, even to the end …. “You are never abandoned, even if you are burdened with earthly hardship, for there is always one Who is ready to help you …. I always walk beside you as soon as you only allow My presence, as soon as you consciously request My guidance. Hence you yourselves determine whether I can stay with you, for as soon as inner resistance is still put up against Me I withdraw, i.e. you will then not be able to feel My love either, even if it never gives up on you …. But I have promised you that I will remain with you until the end. And you can truly believe this promise, because every word that flows out of My mouth is truth …. But if I am with you, you need not fear any disaster either, for I can avert it and also want to avert it if you unite with Me through prayer and activity of love. Thus you, who want to belong to My own, are constantly under My care …. And I constantly give you proof of this by speaking to you as a father speaks to his children …. I admonish and warn you, I make My will known to you and inform you about My nature so that love for Me will ignite in you which then also guarantees My constant presence …. But you will experience what it means to be present to you in the coming time when it will storm and roar around you, when you will have to go through a time of tribulation because it has to come for the sake of the whole of humanity if individual people are still to be saved from ruin …. You, who are Mine, will certainly constantly experience My protection and My help, but the magnitude of the adversity will also demand a strong faith from you, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the tribulations you are exposed to by My adversary and in which you shall prove yourselves …. You need not fear this time of adversity, for as soon as you commend yourselves to Me, as soon as you call upon Me, I will always be present to you, for I promised you this when I Myself walked across the earth …. Only allow this presence of Mine to be with you by asking for it, by not allowing yourselves to be captured by the world, which will approach you overpoweringly with its temptations …. But you would make a bad exchange, for it is transient, just as everything that is around you will very soon fall prey to destruction, as it is announced through word and scripture …. And what people possess they will lose and stand poor and naked on the day of judgment. But you can always know yourselves to be safe in My protection, and your possessions will truly be imperishable; they will secure your entrance into the kingdom of light if you depart before the end of this earth …. or enter a life in the paradise of the new earth, which you will then enter with great wealth and can now work in bliss. And then you will be allowed to experience Me Myself, then My promise will obviously come true, for ‘I will stay with you ….‘ because you show Me the love which makes My presence with you humans possible …. Always remember these words of Mine and don’t be afraid whatever may come, for I have foretold to you that a time of tribulation will pass over the earth which heralds the near end and which also has to be endured by My own …. but the strength to do so will be supplied to you at any time …. And you should acquire much strength beforehand, you should always open yourselves to Me and allow My presence in you so that your faith will become unshakeable and you will no longer let go of My hand which guides you and lovingly leads you through all adversity …. And if you do not leave Me out of your thoughts I will not leave you either, I will fill you with extraordinary strength in every hour so that you will feel My presence and constantly give Me more love which will unite you ever more intimately with Me …. for one redemption period will be concluded and a new one will begin, as I have predicted from the beginning of this period through seers and prophets …. And everything will come to pass, for My word is truth …. And this word of Mine you can hear until the end, for I remain with you, and My presence is proven by My address to you who desire to hear Me, who want to be and remain Mine for all eternity ….

Amen

The human being's duty is to scrutinise spiritual information ….

B.D. 8364 from December 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

The fact that you had been wrongly instructed cannot be used by you as an excuse, for you have been placed by Me into the position of using your intellect and therefore it is also your duty to scrutinise what you are being taught …. As soon as you receive the information of a God and Creator Who created and sustains everything that you can see around you, and also you yourselves, you only need to turn to this Creator in thought and, truly, I will also guide your thinking such that you will be able to understand, if only you want to understand. And you will always be sent such thoughts from the spiritual kingdom which relate to Me and to yourselves, which make you question what kind of relationship you have in regards to Me, your God and Creator. And such thoughts ought to be picked-up by you and reflected upon ….

You should at all times be conscious of the fact that every person who only uses his intellect can be mistaken …. Thus you must also ask yourselves whether the people who are instructing you, who present you with knowledge which they, in turn, receive from other people or which they have academically acquired, are free from error …. For doubts will certainly arise in you and then you do well to contemplate them. But in that case it only depends on your own will whether you yourselves desire the truth …. since only this will shall determine that pure truth will be imparted to you …. If you, however, accept everything that is presented to you without thinking about it, you will never find the path to Me, for then you will only possess pure intellectual knowledge which will never be able to touch your heart and will not benefit your soul in the slightest, since it will neither lead to the correct realisation nor motivate you to seriously improve yourselves …. It is and will remain mere worldly knowledge, even if it concerns spiritual problems. For only your intellect is affected and this is not being used to think about the information so that it can deal with it, and subsequently it won’t be able to recognise what it was offered.

And if you are prevented by law to reflect on it, then you should also recognise the foolishness of such law and become wary and on account of this alone start to doubt the truth of the teachings imparted to you. Not everything needs to be wrong, yet you should obtain clarity by starting to think about it and turn to the One Who is your God and Creator and Who alone can grant you clarification. Hence you ought to try to attain living knowledge and not content yourselves with dead knowledge, which remains dead as long as it doesn’t influence the human being’s soul by stimulating it into improving itself eagerly, which first and foremost consists of kind-hearted activity …. For as soon as a person lives a life of love his thinking will also be enlightened, and then he will no longer be satisfied with teachings which do not completely correspond to the truth …. The light of love within himself will no longer let him unreservedly accept everything he is offered but will cause him to scrutinise it, because love is a divine principle and can never tolerate error or untruth beside itself ….

Hence, at that moment an active desire for truth will set in and the truth will subsequently be imparted to the person, no matter in which way …. For anyone who desires the truth will receive it …. Anyone who desires the truth will also ask for Me, Who is the Eternal Truth and I will also reveal Myself to him, that is, I will convey the truth to him in some form or other, which he then will accept and make use of without hesitation ….

Every person has to aspire towards his own perfection, and he also has the ability to do so, for truly, it only requires the connection with Me and a prayer in spirit and in truth for My help to successfully travel his earthly path. And this prayer will be granted to him …. he will constantly be inwardly urged to do deeds of love and he will also gain the light which will let him recognise the right path that leads to perfection ….

Amen

The adversary's onslaughts in the last days ….

B.D. 8365 from December 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You still will have to prove yourselves many times, for My adversary will attack you wherever possible …. And he will sow strife, he will incite people against each other, he will do everything to make you feel uneasy in order to bring you to fall, and you will always have to appeal for the strength to resist his temptations …. And therefore you should at all times take refuge in Me before he is able to attack you, you should daily and hourly appeal for My protection, so that I can stand by your side and repel him. The battle against him will continue until the end, for he will not hand you over to Me, your God and Father of eternity, without a fight. But I, too, have a claim on you, hence you need only turn to Me and I will always stand by you, because I love you and want to keep your souls’ enemy at bay to prevent you from falling during the temptation …. Wherever My adversary recognises spiritual aspiration he works particularly rigorously and seeks to stop it …. Then you will have to prove yourselves and seriously resist him, you must not offer him any targets by allowing yourselves to get carried away by impatience, irritation or unkindness, for then it will become increasingly more difficult to get away from him, although I Am always willing to help. But then your thoughts will not find the way to Me as quickly …. And only your heartfelt bond with Me will protect you from his onslaughts and temptations. And as long as he is still able to unsettle you into becoming impatient and enraged you will also be weak and he will make use of his power ….

This is why you should constantly work on your soul and try to relinquish all faults, and you only ever should appeal to Me for the necessary strength and, truly, just your will alone will give you strength and you will emerge victoriously …. His activity is so obvious in the last days before the end, he tolerates no peace, no harmony, no unity amongst people, he only ever intends to disturb, and it is up to you yourselves whether he will be successful, for just a call upon Jesus, your Saviour and Redeemer, will strengthen you and you will be able to resist …. For Jesus defeated him with His death on the cross, and if you call upon Me in Jesus he has to release you …. However, especially during such temptations you often forget to remember the Saviour and Redeemer, for the adversary’s work consists of confusing your thoughts so that you react to his onslaughts and try to humanly assert yourselves where only I Am able to help because you don’t have enough strength ….

Hence you shall prove yourselves in every temptation, that is, you shall take the path to Me in Jesus, for then he will have to withdraw, because My strength is truly greater than he is and because I will not leave anyone in distress who takes refuge in Me. Yet by yourselves, of your own strength, you are unable to do anything but with My strength achieve everything, and thus time and again I will give you strength provided you request it from Me, for then your thoughts aim towards Me and I will be able to assert My claim and protect you in every adversity and danger …. Don’t forget this, for he will still provoke you many times, he will still often push himself between you and Me, and you will still often be in danger of succumbing to his temptations …. Just one call to Me in spirit and in truth is enough and I will push him away from you, I will not leave you to him but always help you in every spiritual crisis ….

Amen

God applies painful means ….

B.D. 8366 from December 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

You must never doubt My love, no matter what may happen in the world or in your environment …. I know why I allow it, even if it is not My will but the will of people themselves is active and causes suffering to their fellow human beings. I know what helps the individual person to mature again, and therefore I Myself must often intervene and try to influence you through harsh blows of fate so that you come to your senses when you are in danger of losing yourselves to My adversary. But don’t believe that I will unkindly and unjustifiably let suffering come upon you, for only My love determines Me to intervene in the most diverse ways. The danger that you could be lost again for an infinitely long time is too great, and I don’t want to indifferently leave you to your fate, and therefore I still use all means to avert this danger from you. This is why the events which make you doubt My love will increase in the last days, disasters and misfortunes of various kinds, severe strokes of fate and hardship and misery will occur ever more frequently, and people will ask themselves how a God of love can allow such things to happen ….. Yet believe Me, I have to use these means because I cannot curtail your free will and because these events can push your will in the right direction …. Believe Me that I also pay attention to every call you send up to Me in this adversity and grant you help in order to prove Myself to you, and then you will also learn to recognize My infinite love for you which does not want to destroy but only to save. If all of you humans knew about the correlations which justify your earthly existence as a human being then you would certainly also live in such a way that you would not need to suffer any severe strokes of fate; yet even if you are enlightened by My messengers you will not believe them, and you will continue to live irresponsibly into the day and be in greatest danger of getting lost again for an infinitely long time. What it means to have to cover the earthly path through all works of creation once again is beyond your comprehension, but you would be horrified and live a different way of life for fear of it, yet I cannot give you the recollection of the path of development which you have already covered for your own sake …. Yet time and again I let you be warned and admonished by My messengers, and if only you would believe them you would banish this danger yourselves and adopt a different way of life. And therefore time and again you will be startled out of the sleep of death you are still in, for you shall awaken and My wake-up calls will sound ever louder …. Yet My love for you will not diminish even if you are no longer able to recognize it yourselves. But one day you will know that everything that happens should only serve your best, but that I cannot force your free will and that you therefore can also let all painful events pass you by without having gained any success for your soul. Time and again I call out to you humans: Believe in My infinite love which applies to you for all eternity and believe that I only want your bliss, that I want to awaken you to a life which lasts forever and signifies light and strength and freedom. And if you are able to believe in My love then you will also humbly accept everything from My hand, and I Myself will also be able to help you out of all adversity again as soon as it has only contributed to your change, so that you entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for help …. For as soon as you acknowledge Me as your God and creator, the great danger of being banished again into matter will be over, and then you will not be lost but can continue to mature on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond ….

Amen

Childship to God is the object of life on earth …. The Word of God ….

B.D. 8367 from December 31th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

The process across earth as a human being is a greater than great gift of grace from Me; after all, it offers you the opportunity to shape yourselves into a child of God, for you once came forth from Me as creatures of My will, My love and My strength …. You certainly possessed supreme perfection, because nothing imperfect could emerge from Me, even so, you were a mere product of My will which could not be any different from how I created it; yet I wanted children which were to create and work with Me in supreme beatitude …. You had to strive for and acquire this childship yourselves by totally accepting My will, even though you also had the freedom to think and want in complete contradiction to My will …. Thus you had to be put to the test; you had to prove your love for Me by not accepting any other will than Mine …. This test of will was demanded of you and you did not pass it …. You wanted you own way, despite the fact that you were brightly illuminated by the light of realisation …. However, you were not forced to think and want like Me and thus you misused this freedom of will …. You had once been self-aware beings, but after this wrong decision of will you lost your self-awareness because it had been My eternal plan that you nevertheless should one day create and work in the same will as Mine in supreme happiness …. You should be able to shape yourselves into children of Mine and this necessitated an infinitely long path of development from the deepest abyss, which you voluntarily strove for, to the highest peak …. Disintegrated into minute particles you travelled this path through all the creations on earth without self-awareness …. until you reached the degree of development in which you regained your self-awareness when you lived on earth as a human being in order to voluntarily make the right decision of will, but which will then also lead to your childship to God, which guarantees you supreme blissfulness. Making this right decision in earthly life as a human being will truly not be made too difficult for you because, since I Myself yearn for the return of My living creations as My children, I will help you in every possible way to reach the goal …. I just must always respect your free will, which has to accomplish this change into a child of God.

However, I shall do everything in My power to direct your will correctly …. I speak to you Myself, and this address has a truly powerful effect, it merely requires your free will again to listen to it …. My Word is the greatest gift of grace you may receive from Me, for you once rejected this Word when you separated yourselves from Me voluntarily, and it should only be given to you again in your state of perfection …. But I grant it to you as a gift, I provide you with an unmerited gift of grace and only expect your willingness to accept it. But then you can also be certain that you will attain the goal …. the childship to God …. For once you are willing and allow Me to speak to you, My Word has the effect that you are ready to fulfil My will and you try, even if you still have to struggle and fight because you are weak creatures as long as you still live on earth in an imperfect state …. Yet you can recognise My greater than great love which leaves no stone unturned in order to regain you as true children so that I can provide you with unlimited bliss …. And if My love for you is so strong, then it will also help every individual living creation, it will not leave them to their own devices ….. Only, it must not oppose Me again as in the past, and that happens when it refuses to listen to My Word, when it rebuffs My messengers or completely and indifferently ignores the greatest gift of grace which can be offered to him on earth …. In that case the being will lack the strength for its final ascent, and his life on earth as a human being will be pointless and can lead into the abyss again if the human being does not change before his death …. However, anything that can be done from My side for the salvation of such souls will indeed be done, for truly, I do not want its downfall, I want everyone to become blissfully happy ….

Amen

God's address proves His presence ….

B.D. 8368 from December 31th 1962, taken from Book No. 88

And when you hear My speech you know that I am present to you, that I am not a God Who is to be sought in the distance but that I am like a father with My children and speak to them because My overwhelming love urges Me to do so …. And then you, too, should come to Me trustingly like children, listen to Me and return My love for you by doing everything I advise you to do, so that you will become blessed …. You should only submit yourselves to My will, and truly, you will now no longer do anything which would not be pleasing to Me, for My spirit within you impels you to always fulfil My will and you will also listen to it. You, who experience this love on a daily basis, can justifiably speak of My presence, and you should only once consider what it means that I Myself am present to you …. You should know that I am the most perfect being in all of infinity, that everything that exists has come forth from Me and that you have therefore also taken your origin from Me …. You should often think such thoughts within yourselves, you should consider that you yourselves are the same as Me in your original element, only that you no longer recognize yourselves correctly in your present state because you lost perfection due to your former apostasy from Me …. But when you walk the earth as a human being you are close to perfection, and you can also reach it if this is your free will …. And as soon as you yourselves make it possible for Me to be present to you …. which happens through a conscious life of love, through your serious will to enter into My will …. then you will also be allowed to experience proof of My presence, you will be able to hear Me, for your father Himself speaks to you who desire to hear Him …. And then you will be able to rejoice and be glad, for My infinite fatherly love has seized you in order to never let you go again …. You have come back to life, you who had spent eternal times in a state of death that was agonizing and miserable. For the most part you will not be able to grasp this great grace of My direct address. For I Myself take away your full understanding of it so as not to make you unfit to fulfil your earthly task until the end. For you would be filled with immense bliss if you were able to measure the grace of My presence …. But I want you to complete your earthly journey unaware of the bliss My presence means for a human being …. And therefore you are still going through earthly life burdened in some way …. Nevertheless, you should constantly occupy yourselves with the thought that I am present to you when you hear My word. And you should always glow more in love for Me, your God and creator of eternity, Who proves Himself to you as a loving father through His address, because He also wants to be loved by you, for this is My bliss that My children long to return to the father from Whom they originated. You will never grasp My great love because you yourselves are not capable of love to the extent to understand that My whole being is only love …. But love gives itself away, it wants to make people happy, it hands out unmeasured blessings, it is constantly ready to help and redeem the unhappy, bound person who languishes in My adversary’s bonds …. And I express My great love by speaking to you because you need help and a supply of strength which is now granted to you through My address. Because I long for you, because I want to promote My children’s return to Me in every way, that is why I address you, that is why I delight you with My presence and bestow gifts of grace upon you which shall prove your father’s love to you. And thus the highest and most perfect being of infinity bends down to you, His children …. Can you measure this great gift of grace? Can you measure My infinite love, which applies to you and will apply to you for all eternity? Try to move this thought within yourselves time and again and believe that you will achieve everything with Me if only you sincerely believe that everything is possible for Me and that My love will not deny you any request …. Seek to gain this profound, unshakeable faith in My love and you will come ever closer to Me until you completely unite with Me, until the father can draw His child to His heart and now prepare all beatitudes for it because He loves it as only a father can love his child ….

Amen

Living faith at the time of the faith struggle ….

B.D. 8369 from January 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Blessed are those who have found the path to Me, who occupy their thoughts with their God and creator, who let their thoughts wander into the kingdom which, although it is not apparent to them, is the real kingdom, which will remain for all eternity …. Blessed are those who have already started on the path to their homeland, who not only live an earthly but also a spiritual life and have entered into contact with the spiritual world …. Blessed are those who have taken the path to the cross and call upon Me in Jesus Christ and whom I can therefore also redeem from sin and death …. For all of these people have correctly directed their will, they have passed the test of will for the purpose of which they are on earth. Yet there are only a few people who seriously strive towards My kingdom and thus towards Me. For many are satisfied with the mere form, they are satisfied that they are outwardly regarded as christians, that they belong to a church and fulfil the commandments …. which these churches demand of them. But they lack living faith, living christianity is alien to them, they are not very touched inwardly, and therefore their souls do not mature either …. And because they consider themselves christians, they will not strive to change their thinking either …. And time passes without (having) imprinted on their souls the maturity which secures them a blissful life in eternity …. And these people must be awakened from their spiritual sluggishness, which only ever results in suffering and hardship …. For in such a deficient spiritual (spiritually deficient) condition they will not be able to victoriously endure the battle of faith which still lies ahead of you humans …. They will completely fall away from faith, for they lack the strength to resist which only arises from a living faith. Yet it will come and be waged with such brutality that even My own will have to call for much strength if they want to stand firm when My adversary, through his vassals …. through the people who are in bondage to him, will pick apart every doctrine of faith as a lie and deception and (when) they themselves have no better knowledge to be able to oppose them …. Only a person who lives a life of love and thereby can be guided in his thinking can gain a living faith, who therefore will also recognize the truth brightly and clearly and also represent it to those who deny all faith in God and also want to destroy it in his fellow human beings. And for this reason I repeatedly bring the pure truth to you through My word, and if you accept it as a result of fulfilling My will and living a life of love, even the battle of faith will not be able to dissuade you from your conviction, for once you have recognized the truth you will no longer surrender it, you will also defend it at the risk of your life, for then you will also know how futile all earthly things are and that you will gain far more in My kingdom than the earthly kingdom can ever offer you. Yet the formal christians will not be able to muster this conviction, and My adversary will not have much trouble that they completely abandon their faith because they lack all knowledge and therefore regard everything as a human creation, because this is presented to them by the adversary …. Therefore, knowledge alone is of no use unless love first brings knowledge to life and gives the human being the inner conviction from which he will then draw strength and resist until the end. This is the only thing I want to achieve, that you take the path to Me of your own accord, that you mentally occupy yourselves with Me and My kingdom, which is not of this world …. And you can believe that I will then no longer leave you out and time and again intervene in your world of thoughts so that time and again you will establish the bond with Me which will also ensure the influx of strength you will need in the last days. If I have only found entrance into your heart you are not lost, for since you are also My share I will not give you up either, and you yourselves give Me the right to push My adversary away from you, because you have found Me of your own free will, because you do not close yourselves off to Me and My illumination but allow it to take effect on you and therefore you have now become and will remain My own for all eternity ….

Amen

God's decision is final ….

B.D. 8370 from January 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 88

The fact that you are facing a turning point, which will take place both in an earthly and a spiritual way, is certain …. And once you merely observe the events in the world as well as the low spiritual level it must also be understandable to you that this can only be remedied by establishing a new order, by restoring the law of eternal order. Humanity has overturned this divine order and the spiritual essence embodied in the human being which was supposed and also able to conclude its higher development, has utterly failed, therefore new possibilities for continuing the development must be created or for starting the whole process of development anew. There is noticeable chaos on earth, for due to people’s inclination towards matter they have become completely disorderly, they are influenced by the one who governs the earthly world and have therefore also reached the low level which makes their earthly life pointless and thus the time has definitely come which can be regarded as an earthly and spiritual turning point. Everything on earth will change, because the old earth will undergo a total transformation and a complete separation of the spirits will take place …. so that people who had failed will be banished into matter again and the spirits which are still bound in hard matter will be released in order to be able to continue their process of development in the new creations on earth. The old state on earth cannot go on, otherwise there would be no opportunity for the spirits to continue with their process of development …. First everything has to be arranged anew; everything of a spiritual nature must be moved to where it belongs in relation to its degree of maturity and thus even the human being who longs for matter must return to the state he had already long overcome yet misused his attained freedom and therefore descended again into the abyss …. Then divine order will exist on the new earth again and people, too, will live within this divine order, for the new earth will be populated by those who had attained a degree of maturity on the old earth which justifies their placement on the new earth …. Both the earth as well as the human race will be completely renewed; a new earthly period will begin with spiritually mature people who will also help the spiritual substances bound in the creations with their advancement, which will proceed in lawful order again.

You humans should not believe that a spiritual turning point will still occur on this earth, that people will change, that is, that they will improve and thereby create a change …. This possibility does not exist, only an act of violence can still achieve a purification of this earth …. The goats must be separated from the sheep, God will have to implement a change because people are no longer capable of steering themselves into different waters …. They keep descending increasingly further the more time they have. For this reason the time in God’s plan of Salvation is predetermined and this will be adhered to, for what He, in His wisdom, recognises to be necessary and decides will be final and never change, for His wisdom is supreme and His resolutions are unchangeable. This is why all events in connection with this turning point can be revealed to people by His side. And credence can be granted to the prophesies which are proclaimed to people time and again through seers and prophets. The fact that the last Judgment and the Earth’s redevelopment have no parallel in the events humanity has experienced so far does not entitle people to the assumption that these prophesies are wrong …. Yet people should bear in mind what is proclaimed and in store for them, and prepare themselves, for they still have a short time of grace which could be used if a person’s will would only strive to do justice to his task on earth. Then he would not have to fear the end, because God will help every individual person who calls upon Him, and therefore He will reveal Himself through His Word time and again …. He announces the events yet He allows every person free will, which therefore will also decide his fate ….

Amen

Clarifying traditional doctrines ….

B.D. 8371 from January 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

You have already been assured many times that everything you have received from Me through the working of the spirit within you can be supported by you as pure truth …. I will certainly not let you live in error if you have the sincere will to live in truth …. to think correctly …. and if you always ask Me to impart the truth to you …. But people are frequently unwilling to abandon erroneous thoughts because they have accepted a mental concept which they deem to be irrefutable truth …. because they have repeatedly adopted and passed it on over a long period of time. And since no particular knowledge was necessary for the souls to mature, but more likely would have confused people’s thoughts, they did not need additional knowledge either. But if a person’s desire to attain (receive) clarification is very strong, he will also receive it, because only I can give clarification, only I can instruct those people correctly, who allow the working of My spirit within themselves ….

The Word I convey to people excludes all error, but the person who receives My Word has to free himself from all spiritual knowledge received from other sources, because truth can only be given to a heart devoid of error …. in other words, I can only exist where My adversary has left ….

You humans rely on the Book of Books and believe that its content has not been subjected to forgeries …. But I repeatedly tell you that nothing remains pure once it is handled by imperfect human beings. Although it will indeed always be similar to what had originally emerged from Me but you have no guarantee of undistorted spiritual truth …. and this even less the further back you look to the earliest time of people on this earth …. Whatever you are told about it now is only partially true, because pure truth is an attribute of perfection and people are not perfect, consequently you cannot rely on the reports from primeval times which you still consider to be the only truth ….

The truth will never remain pure throughout the generations, whereas error and a misguided doctrine will be tenaciously supported and even maintained for a long period of time without infringement. And these misguided teachings are people’s foundation, and they are not willing to be taught differently either …. until once again an opportunity arises when the purest truth from above can be conveyed to people …. But this is not accepted if it differs from adopted ancient spiritual dogma, and only those who desire the truth with all their heart will be touched by it and accept a teaching even if it contradicts traditional doctrines.

My spirit does not err, but My spirit cannot always work in a person who allows himself to be drawn into the world …. when he wants to know things which cannot be considered to be spiritual knowledge, which are of no importance for the maturing of the soul and which the person usually has already answered himself, and thus by his own thoughts he prevents the expression of My spirit …. This is a danger which can only be eliminated by means of an intimate bond with Me and a constant request for protection from error. And if it now concerns a teaching which has never been doubted since time immemorial, which every person has accepted as his mental property by being unable to believe any other account, it cannot be disproved either if I don’t want to compel a person’s thoughts …. But anyone who desires the pure truth will receive it and then also gain the inner conviction that it is the truth …. The point is to transmit spiritual knowledge to earth during the last days which should make My reign and activity in the universe understandable to people, so that they can extract from it the right explanation for everything, because this pure truth shall be taken along to the new earth.

Consequently, misguided teachings will have to be revealed and counteracted by pure truth, and that is only possible if I Myself, as the Giver of truth, can work within a human being who is so loyally devoted to Me that he unconditionally accepts what I offer him, and then also distributes what he receives …. Particularly at the time of the battle of faith it depends on who accepts this truth, for he will endure all attacks because the truth will also give him the necessary strength to defend it. The issue is not that the human being should know everything, but every misguided teaching, which was spread amongst humanity by My adversary himself, will be used by My adversary during the last battle of faith to destroy all faith in people when they will have to recognise that they have supported implausible doctrines, and these very doctrines will be quoted by your enemies themselves to encourage you into surrendering everything. You do not know his cunning and trickery, but I know how he proceeds against you who want to believe.

And therefore I inform you of the facts wherever possible. And you, who are receiving My Word, will soon be faced with questions which you cannot answer in any other way but with My given clarification from above, and then you can also understand why such knowledge was given to you by Me, which appears to contradict the Book of the Fathers and yet is the pure truth …. For the origin of this book can no longer be examined by you for its credibility ….

But when I speak to you Myself then I Am also the origin of the spiritual information you receive, and then you need not fear that you receive errors, because I Am the truth of eternity, and I give it to those who sincerely desire it. And ever since the beginning I have informed the people Myself, because the first human beings heard My Word within themselves, but they only possessed the degree of knowledge which was necessary to recognise Me and to fulfil My will. However, due to My adversary’s influence the light of awareness faded steadily the less they observed My commandments. Beings of light who would let their light shine amid people were also embodied amongst the first human beings, but the growing heartlessness of people resulted in an increasingly darkened state of mind …. And time and again I spoke through the mouth of the prophets to repeatedly kindle a light in them again ….

When Jesus descended to earth, because the darkness had become almost impenetrable, a bright light was emitted yet again into humanity’s spiritual night …. And you must know that error could always establish itself during such times of spiritual darkness …. And the people who had accepted the task of recording the events which were compiled in the Book of Books had not been without misconceptions either ….

Consider the length of time which has passed since and don’t believe that such records have been truthfully preserved throughout this time …. But I have always been able to tell you through enlightened human beings what you require for the maturing of your souls …. And these messages have always remained the same, time and again they have been made known to people as ‘My Word’, and I will continue to convey My Word to earth time and again so that humanity can obtain the pure truth. However, historical records cannot be described and valued as ‘My Word’ as long as they do not relate to spiritual events which had taken place in the spiritual realm at the time of and after the creation of the beings, which had been brought into existence by My love ….

You should know of these events, and thus you will be instructed in all truthfulness, because you should know the meaning and purpose of your earthly existence …. And thus I will also give you clarification about the process of return of what had deserted Me and shall return to Me again …. and this in all truthfulness …. Hence you were also given clarification about the origin of creation and the path of all fallen spirits through the works of creation up to the human being …. The origin of the human being has also been explained to you, but every event of creation has occurred countless times, because I have no limitations and My strength is constantly at work …. besides, countless spiritual beings were also in need of the works of creation, the human being cannot even imagine their huge number. But the human being limits himself even in his thinking and therefore he will also be subject to wrong conclusions, which can only be rectified again by Me if My spirit is allowed to work in him. Then the correct clarification can be given but only if a truthful clarification about it is requested …. because it has nothing to do with the achievement of a person’s spiritual maturity …. But such a clarification has been requested and therefore the prayer has been fulfilled ….

Amen

Right light and blinding lights …. Love doctrine ….

B.D. 8372 from January 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

A light will be given to you and in its glow you will find the right path and no longer go astray …. As long as this light shines down to earth from above you can also go through earthly life completely carefree, for where there is much light I Myself am also, for I am the light from eternity ……. Time and again you must keep this thought within yourselves that a light can only shine if it comes forth from Me Myself and you therefore know that I Myself am concerned for your well-being and therefore will not let you walk in darkness. I take pity on the dark earth, and therefore I kindle a little light everywhere which shines more or less brightly but will always spread a glow so that you need not walk in dark night. For My adversary works in the night and makes it his business to lead you astray, but you yourselves cannot recognize the ways if you lack a light, and therefore you are exposed to him and his work, and that is your ruin. But I want to expose him, and I want you to recognize Me Myself and now strive towards the lord Who wants to rescue you from his power. Therefore everyone who consciously hands himself over to Me and wants to help his fellow human beings in spiritual adversity will be allowed to receive and pass on a light from Me. For as soon as he only testifies to Me, as soon as he stands up for Me and points people to Me, he will also be at My service and I will be able to use him for vineyard work since he has voluntarily offered himself to Me. A light will shine where I Myself am proclaimed as the divine redeemer Jesus Christ …. Light will be where My divine teaching of love is proclaimed and where people are called upon to take the path to the cross, because they can only find redemption if they carry their guilt of sin under the cross in order to find forgiveness with Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself offered the sacrifice on the cross for sinful humanity. And if a light is brought to you then you must clearly recognize the path to the cross in its glow, otherwise they are only blinding lights which, as My adversary’s activity, will only lead you astray. For he, too, will disguise himself as a bearer of light because he will use the most shameful means in the last days to prevent your return into the father’s house …. But those who are of good will will recognize him and not be deceived by the blinding lights …. For a good will strives towards Me, a good will will also recognize the right light and pursue its glow, and the human being will be led out of darkness and not get lost. In the last days, however, many lights will shine and cause great confusion amongst people, for they fail to do the first thing: to kindle a light within themselves through loving activity …. They seek to gain knowledge through their intellect and through contact with the spiritual kingdom, which they cannot control for the very reason that the light of love has not yet been kindled which guarantees them clear recognition. Love certainly brings them clarity of thought but people mostly only want to expand their knowledge …. even in the spiritual sphere …. and they don’t seriously examine from which side such knowledge comes to them …. If love has been kindled in them then their spirit will also be awakened so that they will be able to distinguish a true light from a blinding light …. Without this awakening of the spirit, however, they are in great danger of falling prey to the adversary who disguises himself as a bearer of light and causes great harm …. But time and again love is preached, time and again My divine teaching of love is proclaimed, so that every person can kindle a true light of love within himself. However, if the most important thing is neglected, to live a life of unselfish love, the human being cannot stand up for the truth of the spiritual knowledge he receives, for without love My adversary still has power over him, which he truly uses to good effect and whose thinking becomes increasingly more confused. Hence you humans can certainly possess great knowledge but as soon as this knowledge does not put you into a state of brightest realization it is not light from Me, it is not emanated by Me Myself ….. Where My light shines, knowledge will be made accessible to you brightly and clearly and in all simplicity which will make you happy and bring you close to Me Myself, for this is the purpose of driving away the night which veils My image for you …. that you will learn to love Me Myself in the bright glow of knowledge and push towards Me, for the bond with Me is the purpose and goal of your earthly life, and My ray of light of love will help you achieve this, it will illuminate the path which leads home to Me into your father’s house ….

Amen

‘Whose soever sins ye remit ….’

B.D. 8373 from January 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Many mistakes have already resulted from the wrong interpretation of My Word and were spread, and it is difficult to remove such mistakes and replace them with the pure truth because people rather accept an error and spread it as truth than allow themselves to be educated and accept the pure truth. And this could always happen when My Word was interpreted literally, because the spiritual meaning of the Word was never understood. That people are burdened by sins is the result of their former apostasy from Me …. the result of the original sin which engulfed the once fully aware and completely enlightened beings in darkness. Hence people are still subject to this sin if they are not delivered from it by Jesus Christ. And for the sake of these wretched people I descended to earth Myself and as the man Jesus made the sacrifice on the cross for the redemption of this immense guilt. However, since people are at liberty to regard Jesus as the divine Redeemer, in Whom I Myself became a human being, they also have to be introduced to the knowledge of Him, to the reason why they are human beings and to the act of Salvation. For this purpose I sent My disciples into the world, whom I Myself had instructed prior to this and who therefore could also proclaim the Gospel as My representatives to all the nations. It is now very easy to understand that people who accepted the blessings of the act of Salvation were freed from their immense guilt of sin …. that their sins were taken from them when they confessed their sinfulness and turned to the cross, to the divine Redeemer, for refuge.

So My disciples bore witness of Me and My act of Salvation to people and anyone accepting their teaching was also assured by them that their sins were forgiven, because I had given them the task to explain to people why they were wretched and burdened. Hence they could also assure them on My behalf that they would be liberated from all guilt if they acknowledged Me and asked Me for forgiveness. For they went into the world to preach the Word of the cross on My behalf, thus they could also forgive people’s sins on My behalf …. As long as they brought the Gospel to people as My representatives they were enlightened by My spirit and recognised people’s sinful state. They also recognised the people’s willingness to repent which gave them the right to absolve them from all guilt on My behalf …. They only did what I would have done Myself when I lived on earth. Thus the Word ‘Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them ….’ was justified and also has to be understood in this context ….

But the question is: who is acting as My true representative on earth? …. since it depends on this alone whether it is possible for a person to forgive sins, i.e. whether it is sanctioned by My will …. Because not everyone who calls himself My representative is enlightened by My spirit and is able to recognise the person’s state of soul whose ‘sins’ he wants to ‘forgive’. Not everyone who calls himself My representative can preach My Gospel to his fellow human beings. Only people enlightened by My spirit know of Jesus’ act of Salvation, of its spiritual reason and the immense original sin. Hence the ‘working of My spirit’ must definitely be possible, but it is not noticeable in those who all profess to be My servants, My representatives on earth …. Consequently they are neither entitled nor able to judge their fellow human beings’ state of soul and to remit their sins. And if they do it, the person is nevertheless not delivered from his immense guilt unless he himself takes the path to Jesus Christ and asks Him directly for forgiveness of his guilt ….

For this reason people should not rely on assurances by those who themselves are incapable to forgive sins because I have not assigned them to this office. Hence a misguided teaching like this can have a very damaging effect on souls which believe to have been delivered from their sins through specific customs and then fail to hand themselves over to Jesus Christ sincerely appealing to Him for forgiveness of their guilt …. For the redemption of the original sin can only be given to people by Jesus Christ, and this requires knowledge which, in turn, can only be gained through the pure truth …. But as long as people, who themselves were not appointed by Me, feel entitled to remit sins it will merely result in a half-hearted attitude, since the human being then believes to have been relieved from his responsibility as soon as his fellow human being assures him the forgiveness of his sins …. even with reference to the fact that I Myself gave this promise ….

I spoke these Words to My disciples ‘Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them ….’ And these Words will always be justified with those whom I Myself choose as My true disciples …. But the same Words can never be applied to those who declared themselves, or who were declared by their fellow human beings, as My successors …. Only I know who serves Me in the right way and who has the necessary qualifications for it …. And thus once again I choose My true representatives on earth who shall proclaim My Gospel in all truthfulness and also clearly expose and fight against error …. For only truth can be the right light for people by which they find the path of ascent, home to Me into their Father’s house ….

Amen

The house-father assigns the work to His servants ….

B.D. 8374 from January 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

My will will be placed in your heart as soon as you are willing to fulfil it as My servants on earth who are active in My vineyard. I Myself will assign your activity to you, I will direct and guide everything so that you will follow the paths where you can successfully work in the vineyard. I will guide your thoughts so that you will feel driven from within to carry out the thoughts and My will will then always be followed by you …. Therefore you need not worry at all about how and in what way you can advance your spiritual activity …. As your father of the house I know best what kind of work you are capable of doing, and I assign it to you by giving you the right thoughts and you will then act in accordance with My will. But there is one thing you should always bear in mind, that you commend yourselves and your actions to Me, that you don’t leave Me out, that you always ask Me for My blessing, that you therefore always willingly place yourselves at My service. I know people’s hearts and I know which hearts I can still address with success …. I know every person’s inner attitude towards Me, and where I only recognize the slightest desire for truth I will also guide them there, and then you will always be the executors of My will. Admittedly, everything will only appear to be small-scale work to you and yet every spiritual work will have a far-reaching effect, not only on earth but also with the souls in the kingdom of the beyond. For as soon as they could only be touched by a small ray of light their desire for knowledge becomes ever greater, for they feel the benefit (truth) of light which consists in the expansion of their knowledge …. And you contribute to this daily and hourly through your spiritual work, no matter how little successful it may seem to you …. The bond with Me and with the spiritual kingdom is always a supply of strength, both for you as well as for those souls which participate in every spiritual exchange. And every supply of strength again is also spiritual progress, a coming closer to Me, which is why I time and again spur you, My servants on earth, on to eager vineyard work, so that many people will still reach their goal on earth: that they will join Me and attain the life which lasts forever. The fact that time and again your activity will be opposed as My adversary’s work will not affect your vineyard work but rather be proof that you are walking on the right path, which is why the adversary is at work to hinder you …. Yet your bond with Me protects you from him, and if you only ever let your father of the house assign the work to you then you will also be able to carry it out according to My will, because then you will also receive the strength and even adversary attacks will not be able to disturb you. For I want you to be active for Me and My kingdom. And therefore I will also bless your work and always provide you with strength, and you yourselves will feel in your heart what you should do and what you should refrain from doing ….

Amen

The church of Christ in its beginnings ….

B.D. 8375 from January 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

My disciples received the Gospel of love from Me directly when I lived on earth, and thus they were able to carry it into the world in its pure and unadulterated form after I accomplished My act of Salvation and ascended to My kingdom of light again. And they, on their part, also kept My teaching pure and people came to know Me as their Redeemer from sin and death …. They were instructed by My disciples that they would have to take the path to the cross and live a life of love in order to be able to fulfil the purpose of their earthly life and to enter My kingdom after their death. My disciples were guided into truth by Me and also passed on the same truth because My spirit was able to work in them …. In the beginning, therefore, people accepted My pure Gospel and also made an effort to live a life of love, and thus they, too, became spiritually alive and I was able to work in them Myself. And so My teaching remained pure for a certain period of time, My disciples passed on their teaching ministry because they recognised the spiritual state of those they appointed as their successors ….

Yet it did not take long before people assumed such a teaching ministry by themselves, partly due to selfish reasons, partly due to overzealousness of complying with My will but without waiting for the inner calling …. And so it came to pass that this teaching ministry was eventually conferred indiscriminately …. that the inner ability, the human being’s spiritual state, was no longer pertinent but that external circumstances played a part and thus increasingly endangered the pure truth as well which, however, was not noticed precisely because of the teachers’ unenlightened spirit …. The people, however, to whom the Gospel was preached were denied the right to form their own opinion and to voice doubts about the absolute truth of what they were taught …. Those who deemed themselves spiritual leaders were convinced of their mission and authority and allowed no contradiction whatsoever. And those who were being taught were obliged to accept without scrutiny that everything they were offered was true. It was only possible for the truth to remain pure as long as its guardians were spiritually enlightened themselves. Yet the number of those who were placed into positions of authority without being enlightened by My spirit soon predominated and all objections by a spiritually awakened person were dismissed …. The former grew more powerful and the pure truth became interspersed with error …. with ideas which had originated in people’s intellect and were endorsed by them as divine truth. And although spiritually enlightened people time and again tried to eliminate this error …. My adversary succeeded to assert himself, for his followers’ power was already too great and the pure truth was no longer recognised as such.

This explains to you that in the course of time something entirely different established itself as the ‘church of Christ’ than what was founded by Me on earth …. Only this explains how an organisation came into power, why time and again divisions occurred within this organisation and why I only ever want the ‘church founded by Me’ to be regarded as a spiritual edifice that includes those people who live in truth due to of a life of love, which results in a living faith and the awakening of the spirit. And this church has indeed kept itself alive to this day, for time and again My spirit could pour itself out over people who made an effort to live a life of love and to fulfil My will …. And so the pure truth which exposes all misguided teachings could always be imparted to them again, and every genuinely truth-seeking person will receive an explanation how humankind was able to fall into such confused thinking and is unwilling to free itself from it. Yet it will also be understandable to everyone that the masses will never be open to the truth but willingly accept error, and thus every individual person should try to free himself from wrong spiritual knowledge as soon as My grace offers him the pure truth, for just his sincere desire will enable him to differentiate between truth and error, and then he will also belong to the church which I founded on earth Myself ….

Amen

Healing power of water at the spring ….

B.D. 8376 from January 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

I want to administer the water of life to you at the spring, because then it still has the greatest healing power, because then you can also be certain that your soul will become healthy and that you will receive a measure of strength which will enable you to easily overcome the ascent to heaven. And therefore I have opened up a source for you which you only need to seek out and you will be able to draw the best drink for your souls. What you receive is purest spiritual knowledge, it flows to you directly from Me, you can take it directly from My hand and now also be convinced to receive the most delicious thing that can be offered to you on earth. If you humans allow yourselves to be taught by Me Myself, no error can mix with the truth, for the purest truth comes to you from Me and you can also unhesitatingly represent it as truth, and therefore you should refresh yourselves at the source, you should seek out the source even if you have to climb up …. i.e. fulfil certain conditions first which cost you self-conquest …. For you first have to make an effort to live a life of love, because I can only ever administer My gift of love to a loving person …. But then you will not regret the ascent which has led you to My spring, for you will be able to strengthen yourselves again and feel the beneficial effect of My water of life, which will cause you to never again give the delicious gift and also hand it out to every weary wanderer who lies down at the spring in order to strengthen himself. You will also hand them the filled cup, for My stream of life flows constantly and only needs to be drunk in order to also reveal a great blessing …. This is why you can consider yourselves blessed, you who have reached My source, you who may constantly refresh yourselves, you who receive My word, the water of life, which is imparted to you directly by Me …. This word is not yet deformed, it has not yet passed through human hands, it has not yet been picked apart and changed by human intellect …. As pure as it comes forth from Me it will be received by you, and it cannot touch your souls in any other way than in an exceedingly healing and purifying way because it originated from Me. And thus every earthly pilgrim can confidently continue on his path who has refreshed and feasted on My source …. Every person who repeatedly let himself be fed and watered with My word can walk his earthly path with peace of mind, for strength is constantly supplied to him because My word is blessed with My strength …. For he needs nourishment for his soul, otherwise it is too weak to cover the path to ascent …. He needs the bread of heaven, My word, which gives him everything he needs to perfect himself during his earthly progress …. And if he then makes use of the nourishment which I Myself offer him, he can also be certain that it is beneficial for his soul, that I Myself protect the human being from a watered-down wine of life, from a mixed bread which no longer possesses its full nourishing power …. He can be certain that he is offered the best by Me Myself and that his soul must recover if it willingly accepts My delicious gift. For just as the body needs food and drink in order to be able to accomplish its earthly task, the soul also needs healthy nourishment which enables it to mature …. And I Myself give it this nourishment if only it takes the path to the spring which I have opened up and which is also accessible to everyone who desires to be fed and watered by Me Myself, who is not satisfied with inferior nourishment …. who puts himself in contact with Me so that My flow of life can flow into him …. directly or indirectly …. For whether My messengers also offer him the potion of life …. they are instructed on My behalf to bring My gift to you humans, and then you will always be allowed to draw from ‘My source’, for they always bring you the word which originated from Me Myself and is to be conveyed to all those in need who only receive it with gratitude, whom I can thus indirectly feed and water so that their souls may recover …. And truly, you will increase in strength and light, for My word imparts this to you, and anyone who listens to My word and lives accordingly is also at the right source and will lack nothing. Only the human being should not be indifferent and believe that he will receive the right nourishment for his soul everywhere …. For he does not know from which source the water will be supplied to him if he does not test it for its origin …. He does not know whether it still possesses healing power or has been diluted …. And therefore he should set out and seek the source …. He should pay attention to My revelations and take part in them, for I will also protect every sincere desirer from going the wrong way and being misled …. If he desires to be fed and watered by Me he will truly also find the right source, his soul will receive what it desires and it will mature while still on earth ….

Amen

God's help for the purification of the soul ….

B.D. 8377 from January 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

All earthly experiences should and can contribute towards your perfection, for everything is arranged in such a way that you are forced to find the right attitude which will then also have an effect on your soul. You can humbly accept everything and recognize it as My will or My permission, but you can also rebel inwardly and then you will derive little benefit for your souls, and many events can pass you by without the effect they should have on your souls. Believe that nothing affects you ‘by chance’ but see My guidance and My will or My permission in everything, because I want to create opportunities for you where you can carry out diligent soul work …. where you can practise patience, gentleness and peacefulness, where your mercy shall be stimulated or your humility shall be strengthened …. where you shall practise unselfish neighbourly love and patiently accept all suffering. And this will always bring salvation to the soul which only walks across earth for the purpose that it will be purified, that all dross will fall away from it which restricts or completely prevents My illumination of love …. And the more eagerly you carry out this work on your soul the sooner all oppressions will leave you, for then you will become increasingly more active in love, and love will dissolve all dross in your soul and it will mature in a short time. If you look at all the adversities of life, all daily discomforts from this side, you will also be able to overcome them much more easily …. you will know that you still need them because you are still unfinished, and you will also know that I will help you time and again, whatever it may be …. for every means I use to guide you to higher maturity is help which My love gives to you and which you should therefore also gratefully accept …. And when nothing is able to disturb you anymore, when you calmly let all adversities of daily life pass you by …. if you bear them humbly and patiently, they will also have fulfilled their purpose, and your soul will thank Me that I bestowed this help upon it which helped it to attain perfection. You all still have much to reject during earthly life, for only rarely has a person already attained full virtue, everyone has to work on himself in order to change his vices and bad habits into the state he should attain, so that he is able to receive My ray of light of love, so that My ray of love can shine through him without being prevented by impenetrable coverings. All bad habits and vices are such coverings which hinder My ray of love, which require diligent soul work but which you can accomplish if you are willing to fulfil My will. But since the human being does not carry out this work on himself he has to be stimulated by Me, as it were, by facing many resistances and obstacles in daily life which he should and also can master with My help if only he sends a call to Me to assist him in the battle against everything unspiritual which still oppresses him …. Then he will admit his weakness for once and humility will grow in him, he will make an effort to compensate and ward off everything with love. And love is the soul’s best purifier, it dissolves all coverings and My love can now radiate through it in all its strength …. Only don’t let yourselves be carried away into unkindness through such resistance, for then My adversary will have won over you and you will have to make ever greater efforts in order to achieve the perfection of your soul on earth. Nothing that approaches you is pointless and futile, for My will directs your earthly course and I only want to promote your maturing but not let you fall into the abyss again …. And therefore also recognize My will or My permission in everything that concerns you and submit yourselves to it ….

Amen

Correct decision of will in the state of self-awareness ….

B.D. 8378 from January 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Your soul will never lose its self-awareness again, it will recognise itself as My once emanated spirit of light as soon as it has attained the state of perfection, in which it will also fully realise the purpose I gave to every being when I created it. Then the soul will also have an abundance of strength so that there is nothing impossible for the soul, that it can create and work according to its own will which, however, has completely entered Mine. And this is a state of unlimited bliss which you humans are incapable of comprehending because you are limited beings …. limited in your strength as well as in light, which constantly increase the closer you are to perfection. You once came forth from Me in brightest light and in brightest light you return to Me again in order to live a life of unlimited beatitude forever. But no matter how thoroughly it is put across to you that you can create such a blissful fate yourselves, you nevertheless still conduct your psychological work half-heartedly because you do not believe with conviction and because you simply find it incomprehensible that you can reach such a high goal as human beings …. And yet, it can only be presented to you, the knowledge can be conveyed to you but you must utilise it yourselves, for if I Myself would make you act according to My will you would no longer have free will. But the latter is necessary in order to attain the state of highest perfection. However, I set Myself this plan a very long time ago and it will certainly be carried out, even if it takes eternities …. Sooner or later you will all attain this beatitude and then the time it took you will seem insignificant to you, for then every concept of time and space will have come to an end, the time you took will appear like a moment, whilst eternity lies ahead of you when you can enjoy pleasures without end. But while you are still living in a state of imperfection on earth you will have to bear much sorrow, for your soul’s imperfection is a state of adversity and suffering which you can only numb yourselves through earthly joys and pleasures but which will not be improved, instead, it will surface time and again as long as you are not yet perfect.

Life on earth is merely an illusive existence for it is not permanent, it passes by, it is not absolute reality, only the spiritual kingdom can be that for the soul, whose true home is the spiritual realm after all. But the earthly realm can contribute towards removing the soul’s impurities and enabling it to enter the spiritual kingdom in an utterly light-receptive state. And for this purpose you humans live on earth, because you should remove the impurities from your soul of your own free will, which is certainly possible for you if you strive towards the goal of living a profoundly blissful life one day for all eternity …. You merely need to be willing to become again what you were in the beginning, and truly, I will help to make it easier for you to achieve …. You should only ever visualise the high goal you can reach …. and you should want to reach it. For this resolve alone determines your fate …. And you can rest assured that I will not let you fall anymore once you grant Me this will …. You must merely be absolutely serious and not just use words which your heart is unaware of. This change of will can only be revealed by a self-aware being, for this very reason the state of self-awareness is so extraordinarily important …. For now you can think and use your intelligence, you can use the vitality of life granted to you according to My will …. you can be lovingly active …. Then you will also turn towards Me and I will hold on to you forever. You don’t have much time left for this decision of will, for the human being’s life on earth is like a moment in eternity, however, if you make the right decision the time will be sufficient to reverse your nature into love …. And if your will is wrongly inclined you would only descend abysmally low again were you granted more time as a human being on earth …. For the further you distance yourselves from Me, the stronger would My adversary’s influence become …. This is why this time on earth as a human is limited and in eternity judged like a moment, during which you can nevertheless reach Me and be as boundlessly happy again as you were in the beginning. You will never be left without help, you will never have to rely on yourselves, I Am always ready for you and only wait for your call which proves that you grant Me your will which I will definitely accept and seize My children again in order to never let go of them; for you came forth from My strength of love, you are also a part of Me, even if you once turned to the one who was the first to fall away from Me when he should have passed the test of will that would have made him the most blissful being forever, which was meant to create and work with Me in the whole of infinity as My image ….

Amen

'The powers of heaven shall be shaken ….'

B.D. 8379 from January 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

I also foretold you that by the signs of the time you will recognise that the end is near …. And these signs will be so obvious that you will no longer need to doubt and know the hour you live in …. For the powers of heaven shall be shaken, you will be able to detect cosmic changes, natural phenomena which should make you think; they will be observable and even the lawful order of nature seems to have been revoked …. and yet this, too, is governed by divine law, for everything that will happen and take place is based on My will. Yet only the truth of what was proclaimed by seers and prophets and what I foretold you Myself about the end shall be revealed to you humans. For everything will become disorderly during the last days so as to make you humans take notice …. Since you no longer accept any faith in a God and Creator, since you think that My works of creation are subject to your influence, since you consider yourselves powerful and extraordinarily knowledgeable, you will also have to be given evidence to the contrary, you will have to recognise your powerlessness in view of phenomena which cannot be stopped or changed by you at will …. Furthermore, you must recognise that such predictions, which you cannot deny, have already existed for a long time and that the time has finally come when it will be fulfilled what is written and what is repeatedly proclaimed to people through My Word …. Yet people will even regard the cosmic changes to be the consequences of their own activities and consider themselves as masters with the ability to cause such cosmic changes, and thus they will deny God with absolute conviction. For My adversary’s activity in the last days intends to dethrone Me and therefore he will be bound again ….

But there will also always be people who are aware of the time and speak on behalf of Me and My kingdom to the world, to those who are entirely without faith …. For they know that the last hour will soon strike, they also consider the cosmic changes as evidence because I predicted them Myself when I lived on earth. ‘The powers of heaven shall be shaken ….’ this Word, too, has a spiritual meaning which you humans are as yet unable to grasp …. Everything that comes forth from Me, that is based on My will, is alive, and since My strength, which always generates life, will express itself every rigid form will be brought to life …. In the last days before the end My strength will flow out abundantly, everything will become less dense everywhere, that is, the sun of My spirit will penetrate the darkness of night which enshrouds the whole of the earth …. The sun of My spirit will flare brightly and its radiance will give life to everything, it will awaken what is sleeping and give life to the hitherto dead as it is struck by this beam …. Thus the powers of heaven will express themselves which you humans are incapable of stopping …. But in the end My Power will also express itself in a purely natural sense which no-one will be able to explain, for I predicted unusual signs before the end, and these will happen in such a way that humankind will be able to observe the events in nature with horror since they cannot prevent them with their own countermeasures …. Instead they will even contribute by releasing forces whose effects have not been ascertained as yet and which therefore result in all-destroying consequences and accelerate the final end which, admittedly, is intended in My eternal plan of Salvation because I have always known people’s will and therefore based My plan of Salvation on it …. but which nevertheless will be carried out by people themselves who believe themselves able to surpass Me and who are visibly under the adversary’s influence whose devastating effect will then become apparent ….

It will happen as it is proclaimed, and anyone who pays attention can already recognise the signs of the time …. anyone who pays attention also realises that My Word is truth, which is conveyed from above to people as a greater than great gift of grace for anyone who wants to accept this gift …. For at no time ever have I left humanity without forewarning when it was faced by events which I had to send over people as soon as they were at risk of utterly losing themselves to My adversary …. My judgments have always been preceded by warnings and admonitions, for I always wanted to offer people the opportunity to come to their senses and make use of the short time they had left so that their souls’ could emerge unscathed from all such judgments. Yet these admonitions and warnings were never allowed to compel belief, and this is why My present proclamations will also find little credence no matter how clearly the signs can be observed …. People try to explain everything in a way that is more to their liking, and this is why the end will take them by surprise, for the time is fulfilled, the end is near ….

Amen

Inner mandate to spread the truth ….

B.D. 8380 from January 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

If you are to work on My instructions you will also feel this instruction in your heart and willingly comply with it, because you want to be of service to Me and your will is decisive. It is merely a matter of spreading the truth to Me, and I can only take care of those people who receive the truth from Me themselves, who can therefore convincingly represent the spiritual knowledge as originating from Me …. as pure truth …. I know how necessary it is that people receive the truth, because every misguided teaching originates from My adversary and can therefore never be suitable for people’s maturing but prevents this from happening …. The human being’s soul has reached a certain state of maturity through its course through the creations of earth which My adversary was unable to stop …. In its existence as a human being, however, it shall increase its maturity in free will, but at this stage My adversary can also influence it again and prevent its maturing, which he then succeeds in doing when he condenses the darkness, when he prevents the soul from recognizing Me Myself in the light of truth and now consciously strives towards Me …. Every misguided teaching is capable of giving a wrong image of Me, and then the human being will never be able to love Me and give Me his undivided will. Therefore it is My endeavour to repeatedly kindle a light for people in which they are able to clearly recognize their God and creator and then take the path which leads to Me. If a person voluntarily offers to cooperate with Me, if he is willing to accept the truth from Me and pass it on, then this person can also be certain that I will lead him by the hand and show him the paths he should take in order to fulfil his mission as a bearer of truth and light. And he will always feel My guidance, My indications, in his heart, he will feel urged to carry out this or that, and he shall comply with this inner urge, for it is My voice which assigns his field of work to him, which inwardly gives him all assignments, so that he will certainly believe that they are his own thoughts and yet it is My will which is revealed to him in the form of thoughts. And the less resistance is offered to Me the more clearly the human being will hear My voice, and he will willingly carry out everything because he is inwardly impelled to do so. For truly …. a hunger for truth can be felt everywhere, and people need only take the direct path to Me and they would receive unlimited …. Yet most people turn to other people again and desire information, but I know the degree of their desire for truth and will fulfil it, I will convey spiritual knowledge to them through My messengers of light which will give them the right information and enable them to free themselves from erroneous thinking. And everyone who takes the path to Me will also beneficially feel the ray of light which reaches him, for pure truth will always make him happy because it gives brightest realization, whereas error only intensifies the darkness of spirit and will never give a person inner satisfaction. And the brighter the light can (could) shine in you the happier you would go through earthly life, for you would recognize the meaning and purpose of it and also lead your earthly life accordingly, because no questions and doubts would oppress you, but they will always arise again in those who walk without light …. Unsolved questions make the human being dissatisfied, yet whether he can receive the right answer is up to him, because he has to desire the right answer and will only receive it when he shapes himself such that a light can be kindled for him …. i.e. when he lives in love, which is the light in him, which certainly glows within him but is only brought to light by the human being’s will. Fulfilled inner wishes, however, will always cause happiness, and the fulfilment of a wish is when he desires light and also receives light …. But a gift is not respected or valued if there is no desire for it …. And this desire is a matter of free will. But desire can be stirred up in a person by being given knowledge which for the time being only touches his intellect but which can captivate him and he now wants to fathom what touched him mentally …. But a state of light is always delightful, whereas darkness weighs a person down. And thus anyone who desires light will receive it, for I therefore guide the truth to earth because I want to lead people out of a state of misery and hardship …. And all of you can make the truth your own if only you listen to My messengers which I send to you Myself and which truly bring you a delicious gift which will make you happy and which is also permanent, for you can take it over into the kingdom of the beyond when you leave earthly life, and it will signify a treasure for you which can never be taken away from you again ….

Amen

Spreading the truth …. Love life ….

B.D. 8381 from January 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Carry the truth further …. Time and again I give you this instruction, and therefore you will only ever fulfil My will if your activity consists of receiving spiritual knowledge from Me and making it accessible to your fellow human beings. And you can believe that you no longer undertake anything on your own authority, because time and again you intimately unite with Me for the receipt of My word and this bond also guarantees you right thinking. And I cannot address all people directly, for as long as they are still in contact with the earthly world their hearts are not yet able to hear Me Myself …. For this requires seclusion from the world, for only then can I express Myself and make Myself understandable to them. But how rarely does this detachment from the world take place, even if people are serious about taking the right path …. But in order to truly serve Me as a bearer of light and truth, such complete devotion to Me must have taken place that the world is no longer respected …. which, however, only very few people succeed in doing, for the world will always push itself forward and intervene in people’s thinking. And this should also be taken to heart by these people who certainly believe that they are spiritually active on earth but who also make too much use of their intellect due to worldly influences and demands which require the human being to think intellectually and thereby call purely spiritual activity into question …. Anyone who wants to serve Me must be completely committed to it, and he may no longer make any concessions to the world …. But then I can also be present in him and protect him from all unspiritual influence, and then the pure truth is also guaranteed, which he now receives directly from Me. And this truth shall then also be conveyed to the world, for it is not the sole property of the recipient but has been given to all people through him. And it can contribute again to the fact that the fellow human being also distances himself from the world, that My presence is so desirable to him that the world seems so stale to him and he gladly gives it up in exchange for spiritual goods from Me which will make him exceedingly happy …. Although the examination of spiritual goods first requires a life of love which enables the human being to think correctly, which also enlightens his intellect and both his heart and his intellect accept the spiritual goods …. For without love the human being himself still belongs to My adversary, and he will not allow any light but try to dim or extinguish it. But where I Myself have already been able to illuminate the spirit because the human being has kindled the light of love within himself through loving activity, the examination of spiritual knowledge which has originated from Me will also be easy and lead to the right success …. The examiner himself will feel addressed by Me and will not oppose My word with any doubts. And you can fully believe My word, for it preaches love to you first and foremost …. It also presents to you the effect of a right life of love as well as the state of death in which a loveless person finds himself …. Therefore only eternal love itself can impart such a teaching to you, and it does this in order to win you over for itself, in order to show you the path which leads back to Me again, from Whom you once approached your exit in light and strength …. Love is My primal element …. I Myself am eternal love …. And this love obviously expresses itself to you humans in order to save you from a renewed fall into the abyss …. And this love will truly also turn the pure truth towards you, for only truth can lead you to beatitude, only truth can dispel darkness, and only in truth will you find the path to Me …. And when I give you the task to pass on this truth you need have no qualms that you act arbitrarily in choosing those to whom you convey the spiritual knowledge from Me, for I Myself place the right thoughts into your heart, I Myself inwardly urge you to pass on what people need in order to successfully cover their earthly path …. And every work you now do is for Me, and it will also be blessed to you by Me …. For whatever can still happen to bring salvation to the souls in their adversity will also happen, because I love you from the beginning and will love you for all eternity ….

Amen

Purpose of divine revelations ….

B.D. 8382 from January 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Whatever spiritual knowledge is offered to you through My love must always serve your soul’s higher development if I want to prove My great love to you, for it is only ever concerned with helping you to mature so that you will return to Me again in order to become blissfully happy …. For you humans live on earth for this purpose, so that you take the path back to Me of your own free will. And therefore you must know My will, you must be informed of what you should and should not do in order to help your soul attain higher maturity …. You must work on your soul and thus also be guided to do so …. And therefore I convey My word to you which clearly and simply informs you of My will: that you should live a life of love and change your selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love. If you now comply with My will you will also soon enter a state of bright light, you will gain an inner realization, a knowledge which corresponds to the truth ….. Thus, for the time being you require a certain knowledge about Me Myself as your God and creator and about your relationship with Me. And your knowledge will increase depending on your attitude towards My commandments of love …. But whatever is revealed to you will only ever be suitable for learning to love Me, it will all only have one purpose, that you voluntarily change your nature into love, that you become again what you were in the beginning. And therefore I also reveal to you through My revelations the knowledge about those processes in the spiritual kingdom which are the cause of creation and your earthly life as a human being …. For all this knowledge is only intended to contribute towards you getting to know and loving Me as the highest and most perfect being and now voluntarily strive towards Me on earth and also achieve unification with Me. You can indeed penetrate the deepest realisations if your nature is pure love …. but as long as you stay on earth you will rarely reach the degree of love which is able to introduce you to the deepest wisdoms, and these will one day be your share in the spiritual kingdom, because then your bliss will know no limit …. I only want you to understand that you will always receive what you want from Me when spiritual possessions are offered to you directly from above …. from Me directly from above, you will always receive that which is helpful for your soul to mature, which provides it with the original state again, which lets it become My child as it shall return to Me into its father’s house. I will not appeal to your intellect but to your heart …. I will give the soul the right food, a nourishment on which it can strengthen itself …. a medicine through which it can recover …. And ‘My word’ will always have this one purpose, to help the soul to change back into the original being it was in the beginning. And believe it, I will always address people as a father addresses his child …. You will hear words of love and comfort, gentle admonitions and comprehensible teachings will reach you, and your knowledge will constantly grow in accordance with your willingness to listen to My word and live it out …. For you will then regain the knowledge which was lost to you due to your apostasy from Me …. You escape the darkness and enter the circle of light again which, through My constant emanation of love, will envelop all people who desire the light …. But you will only be able to stand in fullest realisation when the original guilt of your former rebellion against Me has been taken from you, when this guilt has been redeemed by Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world, in Whom I manifested Myself in order to take this great guilt from you through the greatest sacrifice of atonement ever offered on earth …. Thus you humans must also know about this act of salvation and its spiritual reason as well as its effect. And thus I also have to impart this knowledge to you as the most urgent, because you will not be able to record any spiritual ascent if you don’t claim the blessings of this act of salvation for yourselves …. And thus you will always know whether you can describe revelations as divine if My act of salvation is mentioned as a matter of priority when spiritual knowledge is conveyed to you. You must have a touchstone for every spiritual gift you receive, and I will give you the surest sign of truth if you receive information about Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for humanity’s sins in order to redeem them from their guilt. Then you can also believe that I Myself convey this knowledge to you and that you receive ‘My word’ which will only ever inform you of My greater than great love, which applies to all people who live on earth for the purpose of their final return to Me …. Then you can believe that pure truth will be conveyed to you through My word, which I Myself speak to you so that you will reach your earthly goal …. And then you will also be able to represent this spiritual knowledge as divine truth, for bright light will come to you from Me, and in the light you will also learn to recognize Me Myself and love Me for all eternity ….

Amen

Illumination of the divine light of love ….

B.D. 8383 from January 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

How significant it is for you that a light is kindled for you on earth, that pure truth is supplied to you, that you as man cannot measure; but once you will recognize the greatness of My gift of grace and My endless love for you, My creatures, and never ever fall back into darkness from which I have led you out to the light. They are brightly shining rays which fall there where a person opens himself voluntarily for My love light …. And these rays let everything be seen clearly, man grasps his purpose of earthly life, his relationship to me, his God and creator, he grasps all spiritual connections, and he strives again for the connection with me, which he himself had only interrupted, but which could never be completely loosened …. One had struck you with blindness, he had caused you to follow him into darkness, and darkness has been your lot throughout eternal times …. But now, as you walk the earth as a human being, you will again be touched by rays of light if you do not resist them …. So much light will be brought to you that the desire can awaken in you to enter a state of light again …. And then your desire will also be met …. You possess as a human being intellect and free will and you only need to judge both rightly …. You only need to think about yourselves and your existence on earth and want to find out about it …. Then you already enter voluntarily into My love stream circle and can catch rays of light which will touch you truly beneficially and will strengthen the desire for light. But this desire has to arise in your free will, you cannot be forced by me, because you have to show through the desire for light that you want to escape from that state of darkness, and thereby you also prove that you want to escape from My adversary and turn to Me again ….. And this is the purpose of your existence on earth, that you confess Me in free will ….. Therefore also a ray of love light must reach you from Me, you must attain a glimmer of knowledge, which is offered to you all, but must be accepted by you voluntarily …. Therefore you will be instructed from outside and be able to mentally deal with all knowledge supplied to you, and then you decide yourselves what you accept or reject …. You decide whether you demand enlightenment or remain completely unimpressed by spiritual knowledge. And you are also urged by the inner voice …. by the voice of conscience …. urged to think right, but never forced. My love, however, pursues every man until his bodily death and seeks to direct the light of knowledge to him so that he finds the right way and also goes it, which leads back to me, into his father’s house. This will always be My endeavor to give the soul a light, in the shine of which it now recognizes itself and carries out a conscious soul work …. in order to once again become the original being, which it was in the beginning and which changed in free will into the opposite. Man alone should and must recognize this, he must recognize his apostasy from me …. his great original sin …. must be pointed out to him so that he knows for what purpose he walks the earth and leads his earthly life accordingly. This alone is important to know, and therefore this knowledge is supplied to you through My word, which is offered to you directly by Me, so that you walk in purest truth. Your life on earth is short, therefore you should not waste the time with endeavours and researches of all kind, which have nothing to do with your soul’s salvation ….. The knowledge about My work and activity in the whole of infinity will one day be transmitted to you in a flash when your soul enters the spiritual kingdom in a high degree of maturity so that it is close to its perfection …. But as long as it stays on earth, only the spiritual maturing is to be striven for and promoted, and the intellect is not to burden itself with knowledge which is irrelevant for the salvation of the soul as long as the soul has not yet reached perfection …. But this is likewise a trick of My adversary, to submit to men a knowledge which claims their intellect and holds them back from conscious work on themselves …. And never will I Myself support such an activity of My opponent by giving you knowledge of it, what to know is not of blessing for you …. For as long as you are not informed about the most important thing …. about the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, about My incarnation, about the “becoming one of God and Jesus” …. that knowledge which you strive for remains only a pure intellectual knowledge and brings you no advantage for your souls …. For the work of redemption of Jesus Christ only made an “outpouring of the spirit” possible, and therefore only then can My spirit work in a man and impart fullest truth to him, when that redemption through Jesus Christ has preceded, but which then also guarantees his working, so that man recognizes brightly and clearly what purpose divine revelations have and what can be rated as divine revelations …. For do not forget, you people, that you live in the end times and that I have warned you against false christs and false prophets …. And these warnings and admonitions I also repeat today that you should not believe any spirit …. For My adversary will also make use of the name Jesus, because he then only speaks of the man Jesus, but not of God Himself …. and he thus seeks to lead people astray, for God and Jesus are one …. And when Jesus reveals Himself, then God reveals Himself …. And truly, I am always determined only by My greater than great love for you, because it is a long way which you have already gone and which you had to cover in darkness because the light from Me did not find access to you …. But now let yourselves be illuminated and let Me kindle a bright light …. And you will walk in truth, as I have promised you, that I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth …. Accept what My spirit now announces to you …. because you are to test, but keep the best. And what goes out from Me, that is a delicious spiritual good, which guarantees you an eternal life, because it is love power from Me, which can never remain without effect ….

Amen

Knowledge of the purpose of life on earth ….

B.D. 8384 from January 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Only truthful spiritual knowledge will enable you to recognize the meaning and purpose of your earthly life, and My concern will always be to provide you with this truthful knowledge so that you will not leave earthly life without results because you are completely unaware when you start your existence as a human being. And therefore I say time and again that a small light has to be kindled in you which provides you with information about yourselves and your relationship with Me …. And this small light can be intensified by your free will at any time so that it will become bright in you and you will no longer be burdened by any spiritual darkness but your knowledge will constantly increase and you will also safely reach your goal on earth: the complete transformation of your nature into love, into your original state in which you were blessed …. The fact that I give you this light is an undeserved grace, because you once consciously rejected it and therefore became apostates to Me …. It was arrogance that moved you to this apostasy from Me …. you felt like My first-created spirit Lucifer, standing in fullest strength, and believed that you could outdo Me, you believed that you could overrule Me Myself, and therefore you voluntarily detached yourselves from Me, always under the influence of that first-created spirit which believed itself so strong that it thought it could dethrone Me. But he stood in the brightest light, he knew that he had emerged from Me as a being …. he knew that he received strength from Me, that I Myself was the source, and yet he detached himself from Me despite better realization, for the unlimited strength flowing to him from Me made him arrogant, it confused his thinking, because he begrudged it to Me, thus a sinful, wrong will, which was the cause of his fall, already caused him spiritual darkness, so that he believed he could detach himself from Me and yet remain in possession of the abundance of strength …. Yet detachment from Me also always meant diminished strength of love, for My strength of love lost its effectiveness due to his resistance …. And the darkness around him became more and more dense …. And the beings which his will had created using My strength also fell into the same state …. They were not forced by him to follow him and they were also able to recognize themselves as creatures which had emerged from My strength …. And therefore their guilt was immense and could not be atoned for by the beings themselves. Despite the eternally long process of return through the creations of earth, through the material world, they remained burdened by this guilt and would never have been able to enter the kingdom of light if I Myself had not redeemed them from sin and death by giving My life on the cross in the human being Jesus in order to atone for this heavy guilt ….. yet only a human being who was capable of suffering and willing to suffer, who mustered such a measure of love for His fallen brothers that He took all conceivable suffering upon Himself and thus redeemed the guilt through His death on the cross …. In this man Jesus I Myself descended to earth and cleared the way for people to come to Me again …. I led them out of darkness up to the light …. My great love, which is and will be valid for all beings for all eternity, has accomplished a work of mercy, it has once again offered sinful humanity a gift of grace, which it only needs to accept and make use of …. For Jesus Christ’s act of salvation has to be acknowledged and accepted of his own free will, the human being himself has to take the path to the cross in earthly life and carry the burden of sin to Him; he has to appeal to Jesus that He may also have shed His blood for him and thus acknowledge Me Myself in Him again. Just as he once voluntarily rejected Me and fell away from Me …. so he must voluntarily return to Me again, otherwise he will remain in darkness and wretchedness forever until his wrong will has changed. And this knowledge has to be conveyed to you in all truth, and then you will certainly take the path back to Me, you will make the right decision of will in earthly life as a human being and be able to be accepted into the kingdom of light and bliss, because then your past guilt of sin will have been redeemed for you through Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself in order to redeem humanity ….

Amen

Feeding the soul is a priority …. Communion ….

B.D. 8385 from January 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

I repeatedly have to impress on you the distress your soul experiences if it does not receive the right kind of nourishment. After all, the most important thing in earthly life is to provide your soul with everything it requires to reach the goal which is its reason for living on earth. It is supposed to mature fully and needs the right nourishment, it needs appropriate food and drink that directs it to a life which guarantees it the greatest happiness …. An immature soul cannot enter My kingdom of light, it must have matured fully on earth and is living on earth for this purpose …. You take the greatest care to maintain the life of its physical cover, the human body, everything is done so that it is preserved and feels as comfortable as possible ….

Yet you do little for your soul …. even though it needs good, healthy nourishment for its eternal continuation far more, whereas the body is transient and its lifespan might well be quite short …. At the beginning of its incarnation as a human being the soul is mainly weak and ailing and should be helped to overcome its helpless condition. It should receive the right food and drink to become purified during earthly life and be handed the right medicine so that it can recover and leave its earthly body fully matured when the hour has come to exchange its life on earth with the spiritual kingdom to be infinitely happy. And the right food can only be offered by means of My Word because then it receives its strength and support directly from Me and I will indeed only offer what serves the soul to achieve perfection …. But I need your free will to do so and therefore you have to come to My table yourselves and accept the nourishment for your soul from Me directly.

Time and again I invite you to be My guests, to refresh and strengthen yourselves at My table and to receive the right food and drink from Me because they are necessary for your soul’s successful earthly progress. After all, the human being only lives on earth to achieve the soul’s full maturity …. His body is merely the physical cover for the spirit which has almost completed the process of return and just needs to pass its test of volition to finally be admitted into the spiritual kingdom. Of course the body also needs its due to exist and to carry out its task to serve the soul, but taking care of the soul should be a priority and you should offer the soul everything it needs to mature completely. And since the soul is the spirit within the human being it can only be given spiritual food and drink. Therefore My Word is and remains its right nourishment which I offer you in all fullness if only you give Me the opportunity to speak to you and after that live in accordance with My Word. Then the soul cannot fail, it will irrevocably shape itself to constantly come closer to Me; since every contribution of My strength, which it receives through My Word, helps to transform it into its original nature …. because it reforms itself and can now also become consistently more enlightened by the light of My love ….

You humans have to hear My Word many times, then you give your soul the right nourishment which won’t remain unsuccessful. For this reason you should constantly come to My table and hold communion with Me and indeed, your soul will be grateful that you nourish it first. Then your earthly progress is not in vain as your soul will constantly come closer to Me until one day the ultimate unity is achieved and the soul can create and work in light and liberty with Me in My kingdom again ….

Amen

The light from God illuminates the way up ….

B.D. 8386 from January 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

From the kingdom of light you are illuminated with My light of love, and this means that the darkness need no longer frighten you, that you are able to clearly recognize everything in the glow of My ray of light of love and that you therefore also recognize every danger which threatens you as long as you walk in darkness …. Now you no longer have to fear that you can go astray, for you see the right path clearly and you also see where it leads …. Although you also see that it is not so easily passable, thus it requires effort if the goal is to be reached, which requires an ascent for which you need strength. But you no longer fear this ascent, for you have guides by your side who offer you their help and in whom you can also confidently entrust yourselves, for I Myself have assigned them to you and it is their task to assist you in every way. As long as you walk in the light nothing can frighten you anymore, for if you encounter an enemy you will recognize him and you can arm yourselves against him, you can protect yourselves against every attack because you will avert every hostile action against you with My help …. Hence, when My ray of love hits you in the form of My word you can truly be called blissful, for My love can only illuminate you when you open yourselves, thus when you are willing to receive evidence of My love. And if you develop this will within yourselves then you are also on the right path, then you are on the path of return to Me, and then you can also be certain that you are walking the path which leads to the goal, home to Me in your father’s house. But a true light from Me will shine upon you when you attain knowledge which gives you the right information about yourselves and your God and creator as well as the right relationship with Me. As long as you lack this knowledge you are still in a state of darkness, thus you are still outside My circle of love and thus in the territory of the one who is the prince of darkness and drew you down into his kingdom when you voluntarily turned to him and followed him into darkness. And he will always try to prevent you from being touched by a ray of light on My part …. And he will light dazzling lights himself in order to lure you to these dazzling lights which, however, will not result in any realization for you but only blind your eyes so that you will then no longer recognize the gentle light from above which shines to you from Me. For this is his trick to announce himself in the same way …. that he disguises himself as a spirit of light, as a messenger on the path who would like to guide you …. and that he now seeks to distort everything and you do not recognize his working, for he keeps you in the darkness of spirit …. Yet he will only be able to win over those people who believe themselves to be able to examine without having asked Me for assistance, for enlightenment of spirit. He will certainly be successful with these people but not with those who have already given Me their will and with whom I will also assert My right, for I will kindle a true light for them, I will bring Myself close to them in the word so that they will be able to recognize Who is speaking to them and thus it will become light in their hearts and this light will constantly intensify so that My adversary’s activity will also be brightly illuminated, so that he will be recognized as the enemy of all life and action can now also be successfully taken against his activity. I certainly let My rays of light of love fall wherever I only find a receptive heart which is willing to serve Me selflessly. Yet precisely for this reason My adversary is always on the spot and tries the same way …. Yet he will not come too close to the right light of love from Me, for this he flees because it exposes him …. And therefore you will also be capable of a right test if you receive My word from above directly, for the light of the spirit enlightens your heart and exposes every blinding light, it exposes every false teaching which My adversary wants to convey to you in order to draw you down into darkness again …. You truly need not fear his dazzling work, for he will not be able to stand before your scrutinising eyes because you are enlightened by a right light, by a light which I Myself was able to kindle in you because you were willing to listen to Me Myself, and thus I was also able to convey the pure truth to you which will make you blissfully happy, because it shows you the right path which leads to the goal and which you can only recognize and walk in My divine light of love ….

Amen

Indication of the many adversities before the end ….

B.D. 8387 from January 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Earth will still experience much adversity, but only the people directly affected will derive a psychological benefit from it, if they are not entirely hardened …. Yet their fellow human beings are not impressed by it for long and therefore they, too, will be affected in other ways, for I have truly many teaching methods at My disposal which I have to use if I don’t want to let people go astray and completely lose them to My adversary. For it is like a disease that they would rather comply with the will of the one who wants to ruin them than with Mine, Who only wants to help them achieve beatitude ….

My Words and admonitions bear little fruit and they have to be struck more severely if their thinking is to change and turn to Me. Only adversities which they are unable to master themselves can push them towards Me …. only the kind of desperate situations which make all help seem impossible can induce them to pray, to call upon Me in spirit and in truth. And if they are not entirely hardened, if they still have a glimmer of faith in an almighty and loving God and Creator within themselves then they will indeed call upon Me, and I will give evidence of Myself to them, because I Am only interested that they believe in Me with a living faith. For only a living faith will give them the strength for resistance during every earthly tribulation. Since it is the time of the end, the time of affliction will not stop either and time and again will affect people in different ways, and then a living faith will be of great help, for their trust in Me lets people bear everything more easily and confidently wait for help.

And from all directions you will hear reports about all kinds of accidents and disasters, and then you should always remember that I thereby only intend to change people’s hearts, that nothing happens to people without reason and purpose, whatever it may be. And I often have to use such means which are unrelated to human cause, to human failure, for they are not meant to recognise their fellow human beings’ shortcomings or sinfulness but identify Me as the originator of conditions which have put them into hopeless situations …. For they ought to call upon Me and not expect help from their fellow human beings who are unable to provide it. People have only one means of rescue left, and that is that they establish their bond with Me themselves, for the end will irrevocably arrive and the preceding time of adversity can only be endured by people who closely unite with Me and therefore can also always be certain of My help. For I love you humans and want to help you …. I have the power to do so and thus Am able to help you …. I only want you to appeal to Me yourselves, to take the path to Me, so that you will be saved and need not fear the final end …. For you will need much strength to withstand all onslaughts by My adversary, and you constantly should accept this strength from Me …. Yet this necessitates the sincere bond with Me which assures you a sufficient flow of strength and enables you to victoriously cope with all challenges.

And the closer it gets to the end the more subject you will become to adversity and sorrow, because there is not much time and My obvious intervention is necessary by which you can still escape the worst fate …. the banishment into matter, into the new works of creation on earth. This fate is so appalling that all earthly adversity seems small in comparison if you could assess the whole extent of the former. But you may not decide to change as a result of fear and dread and so cannot receive a complete overview, you can only ever be told about your fate, which you may or may not believe …. However, one day you will be grateful to Me when you, as a result of large earthly disasters, are spared this appalling fate ….

The time for the people of this earth is irrevocably coming to an end, and this also explains the harsh strokes of fate they will suffer …. But since love has grown cold amongst people their sympathy is not far-reaching either …. Only when people are affected themselves will such disasters and miseries cause them to stop and think and for once turn their thoughts spiritually to the One Who is Lord over life and death, over heaven and earth, Who is the Originator of all creation, to Whom everything is possible, Whom you humans only have to call upon with complete trust in order to receive assured help and thereby also the evidence of Himself, so that your faith will become a living one …. You could lessen the extent of your suffering yourselves if only you would revert to the faith you humans have lost, for the increasing disasters are due to the fact that a spiritually low level has been reached, that people have neither faith nor practice love and therefore live in complete darkness …. But they have to learn to recognise a God and Creator, they have to believe in Him and His infinite love, and then they will also be permitted to experience this love in every earthly and spiritual adversity ….

Yet even the harshest strokes of fate will often fail to change people, and therefore they cause the downfall themselves, they themselves contribute to the fact that the earth will be destroyed and a new one prepared, for it is intended to serve the souls for higher development. And this spiritual task has become impossible since people are getting worse and therefore everything has to be arranged anew, everything that has stepped out of it has to be brought back into lawful order …. that thus a work of transformation will be carried out on earth in accordance with the plan of eternity ….

Yet My loving care will still apply to all human beings until the end …. I will still use every method which promises success in order to reduce the number of those who will be banished into matter, so that they will be able to repeat their process of development from the abyss to the pinnacle which, although dreadfully agonising, nevertheless wrests the spiritual essence from My adversary’s hands or it would never be able to return to Me ….

Amen

Mis-educated truth cause for new revelations ….

B.D. 8388 from January 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Throughout long periods of time the truth has never been able to remain pure, for it has always been distorted by people due to the influence of My adversary who, in the light of truth, was brightly recognized in his nature, which is devoid of all love, and who therefore only knew one endeavour, to obscure the light of truth …. which he also succeeded in doing time and again because people still largely adhered to him and allowed themselves to be influenced by him. They made changes to My word, which I turned to people time and again in all purity. And they were able to do so because I did not prevent them due to their freedom of will, for free will can also desire and receive the pure truth again. Hence the human being himself is responsible for the spiritual knowledge he possesses …. He himself determines through his will what he accepts, whether he lets Me Myself or My adversary have his say. But time and again he is also informed of Me and My adversary, even if this is only in the form of thoughts which circle around him like waves from both realms, from the realm of light and also of darkness, and which again require his will to pick them up and move them within himself …. He can attain right thinking if only he wants to, but he is not forced to do so. Therefore, as long as people live on earth for the purpose of maturing their souls, the world of light and the dark world will struggle for the will of these souls …. as long as the world of light will convey true and clear thoughts to people, just as the dark forces will endeavour to confuse people’s thinking and to enforce the pure truth with error. And this also explains why I reveal Myself to people time and again, why I use every opportunity to guide the pure truth to earth, because every person shall have the opportunity to receive truthful spiritual knowledge who desires such. And this will also be an explanation to you for people’s confused thinking in the last time which precedes the end. If people adhered to the pure truth, if they accepted My word conveyed to them from above without any contradiction, if they seriously thought about it and only wanted to make the right judgment, then they would also recognize the value of My word and most certainly fulfil their earthly task of shaping themselves into love …. For then they would also know how significant My divine commandments of love are and that eternal life in beatitude is solely dependent on their fulfilment. Yet only a few have this serious will to be instructed in truth, and therefore it is very easy for My adversary to assert the pure truth with his error, because those people accept everything that comes forth from him but always reject it when My pure word is offered to them. For humanity is more than ever his share, because its own will determines to which lord it surrenders …. Nevertheless, I will not cease to repeatedly convey My word to earth, for My word is the light which shines into the darkness and which has to be accepted in order to emerge from the darkness of night into the light of day. And where there is light the adversary will be recognized as an enemy, and he will have lost power because he will be blinded by the light which originates from Me Myself …. You humans cannot measure what you possess in the word which I convey to you from above …. You are in direct contact with Me, Who Myself is the word from eternity …. I Myself descend to you in the word and give you proof of My presence, I Myself enlighten you and guide you into truth …. You no longer need to fear darkness as soon as I Myself have been able to kindle a light in you, for My adversary will no longer be able to extinguish this light for ever …. And you can precede your fellow human beings as bearers of light, and anyone who follows you will likewise be directly addressed by Me and, with enlightened thinking, will also be able to recognize error and turn away from it. For My word is full of strength, it strengthens you in the battle against My adversary, and with the light of truth you will also overcome him when he fights against you, for I Myself stand next to you and he will flee Me because he shuns the divine light of love ….

Amen

Warning against changing the word …. Love one another ….

B.D. 8389 from January 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 88

I always preach love to you, and thus I also want love to unite you who want to belong to Mine …. You are all children of one father who once came forth from Me and shall also return to Me. The fact that you all take different paths, that you are more or less distant from Me, does not exclude the fact that you, as My living creations which shall become My children, also possess My undivided love and that this love will do everything to win you back. But you yourselves should all regard yourselves as brothers who have one father, and thus one should only ever endeavour to help the other but not condemn him if his ways are different, if he takes paths which lead away from Me. Then you should only help him and lovingly try to lead him back to the right path. Besides, you yourselves cannot judge the nature of every person’s heart either …. But I know, and I often see successes which time and again inspire Me to help him, and therefore I prove My existence in every way to people who still don’t want to or cannot believe in it. Thus I don’t give up on a person until the hour of his death, time and again I intervene in his thoughts, time and again I knock at his heart’s door and desire entrance, and often I even succeed in winning his will before his death, and then he is not lost but can still awaken to life in the kingdom of the beyond, which lasts forever …. And thus I also want love to unite you on earth who are active for Me …. I want you to unite and strive together towards the goal of doing redemptive work for Me, so that many more souls will be saved before the end …. Yet you should also always keep the spiritual knowledge you receive pure and not mix it with human additions which overzealous vineyard labourers often want to add and which did not originate from Me. This admonition is especially addressed to those who have been instructed by Me to pass on pure truth and who receive this truth from Me directly …. I know where there is a danger that pure spiritual knowledge will be diluted, I know where people …. who believe they serve Me …. unintentionally serve My adversary by following his whisperings and making changes to the pure truth I conveyed to people because they urgently need it …. Everyone believes himself called upon to improve or explain it. But this only detracts from the spiritual good, for people are not so perfect that they are entitled to make arbitrary changes ….. However, differences of opinion should not affect love, instead you should exchange your opinions in patience and tolerance, and then My presence will also be evident to you, for I Myself will dwell amongst you with My spirit and enlighten your thoughts and speeches. My spirit, however, will not contradict itself, and the only issue is that and whether spiritual good …. supposedly received from Me …. agrees. For by this the false christs and false prophets are to be recognized, that they impart spiritual good to people which is doubtful, and this they shall examine …. For people can have the best will to serve Me and the truth and yet My adversary can slip into their thoughts if characteristics still prevail in the human being which are his share and which first have to be completely discarded so that he no longer finds a point of attack for his wiles and trickery. But love will always have a balancing effect and through love the adversary will also lose strength, and therefore everything can be settled with love and victory will be yours, for My adversary is powerless in the face of love …. Where love is, there is also bright light, and the human being must recognize what was previously incomprehensible to him …. Where love is, there is also truth, and where truth is, I am Myself …. I Who am the light from eternity …. There can only ever be a spiritual battle between light and darkness …. And you humans must decide for yourselves whether you walk in the light or whether darkness still holds your spirit captive. You have to decide for yourselves whether you gain knowledge through spiritual knowledge …. and then it must also have come forth from Me if you are in possession of knowledge about your outcome and your goal …. about yourselves and your destiny and about your God and creator from eternity …. You must be enlightened about all correlations, about your fall, about the emergence of creation and its purpose and about Jesus’ mission and the spiritual reason for the work of salvation …. You can always accept these indications as a touchstone as to whether spiritual knowledge offered to you has originated from Me or whether they are merely mediations from the spiritual kingdom whose outcome you cannot control …. Always try to find out if you want to judge the origin and value of spiritual knowledge …. But love should always determine you, and you should always relate to each other like brothers, for you are all My living creations who should become My children ….

Amen

Turning away from the world brings in spiritual gain ….

B.D. 8390 from January 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Again and again My love feeds you spiritual food, again and again questions are answered for you or problems are solved because I want that you recognize Me more and more clearly and reduce the distance from Me Myself because you are supposed to feel it that I Myself am so close to you and that I live with you as it were and all daily events are wanted or allowed by me. Only when you yourselves feel intimately connected to me, your faith will have the strength that you walk your earthly way completely calmly, because you know it that I walk next to you and you can rely on me. And you will also understand it when I demand of you to turn away from the earthly world, because although you still live in the world, it is nevertheless a difference whether you still cling to it or have already overcome it, because as soon as nothing can cause you anymore to give up the intimate union with Me, the world has also lost its attraction and you no longer need to fear it as a temptation. You are truly far better off than your fellow human beings who are still attached to the world, although you …. earthly seen …. no joys and pleasures that can only be found in the world …. You seek your happiness and your inner peace elsewhere, and you will also find it. For is there anything more beautiful than to hear the voice of your father, Who speaks to you as a father speaks to his children …. full of love and kindness …. and who offers you treasures that are everlasting? As long as you still belong to the world, these treasures will not inspire you, because they are unreal for you, and you have little earthly use for them ….. And nevertheless it is the most delicious thing which can be offered to you on earth, and your soul is touched by it, which feels it exceedingly beneficent when it receives gifts from the spiritual kingdom, which is its true home ….. In earthly life the soul often cannot appreciate it, if it still clings too much to the world, which is transient, and it always only strives for what it can see and grasp …. But one day it will recognize that only spiritual treasures are valued, and it will be exceedingly happy when it possesses such treasures at its entrance into the kingdom on the other side. If I now can address My child Myself, because it has established the intimate bond with Me through prayer or unselfish works of love, then it will receive a wealth of greatest magnitude, for I do not limit My gifts of grace, I give unlimitedly, only man must also accept and utilize them voluntarily, otherwise he can also have no advantage from them …. And therefore I will also explain everything to you and give you information, what you also desire to know …. But you may only demand spiritual treasures from Me, therefore do not expect that My address refers to earthly questions and their answer, because I distribute spiritual goods unlimitedly, which however does not mean that I do not pay attention to your earthly needs …. Rather, these will be added to you if you strive for the spiritual gain as the most important thing. But who still wants to have earthly questions answered, he is not yet on the spiritual way, his senses are only earthly directed, and he will still need a long time until he also has overcome the world and strives to win the spiritual kingdom. Because this alone is your earth life aim, and if I Myself can address you, then I will always only give you knowledge of this kingdom and open up a knowledge for you, which alone concerns the spiritual processes, which are the basis of your being as man and are only explained to you so that you gain knowledge of the right nature of your God and creator, who wants to be loved by you because you once came out of his love. And such knowledge is not to be gained in the world, rather the world only serves the efforts of My opponent to keep that right knowledge away from you, because he does not want that you learn to recognize and love me, and that is why he works against Me wherever he can. But I will take care of your spiritual need, and I will truly provide you with everything you need …. I will also strengthen your body so that it can fulfill its spiritual task and the soul matures in it …. Again and again I will reveal Myself to you men, because alone you lack the strength to go the way up, but which has to be covered by you in free will, so that you reach Me again, and that with rich treasures, which started in the spiritual kingdom and will also help you again that you return to your father’s house. For I do not rest until all My creatures have returned to Me as My children, so that I can now also make them immeasurably happy for all eternity …..

Amen

Error to be corrected again and again ….

B.D. 8391 from January 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 88

Every spiritually directed thought allows My working on and in you, and I can instruct you, I can increase the light in you, I can give you food and drink and thus draw you ever closer to My heart, for you must come close to Me yourselves in order to be able to receive delicious gifts from My hands. And I still have much to offer you, there is still much error in the world which I would like to correct if I find open hearts which are willing to listen to Me. For there truly could not be such a great spiritual low if people moved in truth, yet error confused their thinking and they are therefore completely unenlightened and therefore also live a completely wrong life. So much has been presented to people as truth and they unhesitatingly accepted knowledge which originated from My adversary whose only endeavour is to keep people in spiritual darkness. People’s free will itself time and again gave him the opportunity to bring untrue spiritual knowledge to them and to displace the pure truth. And if you humans only consider the one thing, into what absurd forms My legacy was forced, what garment was given to My pure gospel, which I Myself founded on earth …. If only you consider in what schematic functions people see and recognize ‘their church’, how everything has become a form which is supposed to earn people eternal bliss …. and if you consider how little people themselves do to acquire an inner light in order to clearly and distinctly recognize what My will is and in what My church founded by Me consists …. For a long time they have been plodding along as ‘followers’ in organisations and don’t even think about whether this can bring them eternal bliss …. And this indifference towards the most important thing, to fulfil the purpose of their earthly life, was brought about by My adversary, yet people themselves conceded this power to him, and it is difficult to light a light for them so that they could see a true picture of why they live on earth. Such a light has certainly been lit by Me time and again, and I have never left people to their fate, even though free will had shaped it this way …. Yet time and again this same free will also rejected Me Myself, and people held on to the wrong spiritual knowledge, they did not take the opportunity to kindle a light for themselves, for the bond with Me became ever weaker because they were unable to recognize Me correctly in the many misguided teachings and the image they received of Me was not suitable to awaken love for Me in them. Yet they need only have asked themselves whether a God of love, wisdom and might would have erected such a structure which was presented to them as a ‘beatifying church’. Every clear mind, which would have examined in good will to do what is right before God, would also have recognized the nonsense ….. But people allowed themselves to be driven, only rarely did a person reflect on himself and think self-willedly because he desired the truth …. The majority, however, unhesitatingly accepted everything as truth, no matter how clearly the workings of the opposing power could be recognized …. And the more time went on the less people dared to doubt the truth of what was, after all, a structure of lies of the greatest magnitude, otherwise the effect could not have been that almost no one possessed a living faith anymore, which comes to life through love …. For love was certainly also taught but all other teachings were given priority …. so that the building could hold up …. But if love had been preached as a priority, this alone would have been enough for the light to ignite in people’s hearts, which, however, would also have meant the downfall of a human work which is certainly presented as My work but which can never be My will and My work, which results from people’s spiritual low level as it is in the present time …. in the time before the end …. is evident …. Time and again I have explained what is to be understood by My church founded by Myself. And people will also be found everywhere who belong to this church of Mine …. Yet precisely these are not recognized because they possess the clear realization through their love and faith …. the emblem of My church …. that all worldly works of construction, even if they believe to lead people to spiritual life, are not wanted by Me. For they are far more likely to hold people back from spiritual life than to promote it …. For lies and error cannot have a spiritually beneficial influence, rather they can only lead people away from the right faith and then also present Me to people in a distorted way, which is the adversary’s intention. If only people could free themselves from doctrines imposed on them which never originated from Me …. they would only take the direct path to Me Myself and sincerely request that I Myself introduce them to all truth, that I help them to follow their earthly path in accordance with My will …. I will truly not let any such request go unheeded and help everyone to the light who earnestly desires it. For every person should also consider that he bears responsibility for himself, that he cannot pass it on to those who have taught him wrongly, for I step into everyone’s path and bring Myself so close to him that he would be able to recognize Me. For I only want people to pray to their God and creator, to call upon Him as father and, like true children, to trustingly expect the father’s help …. And truly, I will reveal Myself to this child and it will be able to recognize Me, for the light I will now kindle in it will shine so brightly that it will no longer be oppressed by darkness or doubt, and it will take the path which leads to Me, home into the father’s house ….

Amen

Can the pure truth be guided to earth? ….

B.D. 8392 from January 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

You can rest assured that it is possible for Me to convey the truth to earth and that I want to do so is due to the great spiritual adversity, the cause of which is precisely error and lies, as I have told you time and again. Salvation can only be brought to people by conveying the pure truth, and therefore I reveal Myself time and again. But you humans doubt that I choose the right vessels for Myself through which My spirit can work and which I therefore also protect from all error as soon as it concerns spiritual possessions. Yet you humans yourselves repeatedly water down My pure word by arbitrarily adding or changing it, by believing that you can teach people better by adding explanations which My pure word truly does not need, for it is given in an understandable way to every person with an open heart. But anyone who closes himself off is truly not helped by explanations either, he cannot understand it because he does not want to understand …. And this is why it is so difficult to keep people in the pure truth, for My adversary’s endeavour will always be to disfigure them, and he has a strong influence on those people who make precisely these changes or improvements …. even though they are of good will to be of service to Me but also still have their own need for recognition or are linked to earthly interests. And thereby they support the adversary’s activity themselves. You humans cannot be careful enough to guard My spiritual knowledge which I convey to you directly, because you have to live in truth if you still want to reach the goal in the short end time. For you must recognize Me in My nature so that you will then also love Me and strive towards Me …. And only the pure truth gives you My nature as it is …. not as My adversary would like to portray it …. that you see in Me a punishing, angry God of vengeance Who mercilessly condemns and condemns those who are not of His will. I know the human being’s weakness and his wretched state takes pity on Me so that I will do anything that can mean help for him if he wants to be helped. And again, only the pure truth can have such an effect that he will remember his earthly task and strive to fulfil it …. If the human being can be offered the truth he will also lift himself up by it and strengthen his will if he has not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary. And because I know how necessary pure truth is for humanity in order not to get lost again in the end for an infinitely long time …. but because I also know that it is no longer present, that people are already thinking wrongly again, I descend to earth again in the word and enlighten them. But in addition I convey to them the knowledge of the forthcoming end and all preceding events …. For I let nothing come upon people without preparing them for it …. But even these predictions are not accepted by people, and only those who are of awakened spirit know about the correlations …. and will pay attention to them and also live their lives accordingly. And as soon as people express doubts about such predictions concerning the forthcoming end, their spirit is also unawakened. And you can also conclude from this their spiritual maturity, for they don’t recognize the father’s voice Who only conveys the pure truth to them. And you can be firmly convinced that I also know ways and means to make the pure truth accessible to those who seriously desire it, but I don’t impose it on anyone either, for the human being should decide for himself whether and how he evaluates My gifts of grace. Yet one thing is certain, that I hold My protective hand over those whom I have chosen as My right vessels into whom I can pour out My spirit …. I will protect the source from all contamination, which I Myself have opened up, and thus you humans are also guaranteed to receive the truth at the source, as pure as it originated from Me Myself ….

Amen

Extent of knowledge dependent on degree of love ….

B.D. 8393 from January 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

You only need the knowledge which helps you to recognize Me and to seriously strive for your perfection in order to then also be able to unite with Me. Depending on your soul’s maturity you can be given knowledge which corresponds to the truth, but this knowledge will always serve you to attain a glimmer of realization as to the meaning and purpose of your earthly life. For as long as you are completely ignorant your earthly life is an idle one and you remain at the same stage of your development as at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being. But again, a light can only be kindled for you which illuminates your thinking and gives you a small degree of realization if you let yourselves be educated by the inner voice …. the voice of conscience …. to work with love, for only love kindles the light …. And depending on the degree of love is also the measure of realization, the granting of truthful knowledge …. And thus you can receive wisdom from Me to the greatest extent the more you cultivate love within yourselves, for the brighter the light will shine within you which imparts these deepest wisdoms to you. But since you will suddenly attain the brightest realisation when you enter the kingdom of the beyond with a certain degree of maturity, you only need the knowledge on earth which shall determine your path of earthly life, the knowledge which first lets you recognize Me Myself and My nature and yourselves as My living creations which My will of love has called into being …. the knowledge of your creator’s will and of your beginning and your goal …. This knowledge would be enough for your soul to mature …. But now, through the influence of My adversary, misguided spiritual knowledge has been spread amongst people, because his aim is to give people a false image of Me which they cannot love and therefore do not strive for Me either …. And thus it has also become necessary that all these misguided teachings are uncovered and corrected; it has become necessary that people also have to know about all correlations, and now the human being’s degree of maturity or love determines the extent to which this knowledge can be imparted to him …. But it is rare that a person’s soul is so mature that profoundest wisdom about My reign and activity in infinity can be imparted to him …. And if the human being tries to find out just such secrets he often uses his intellect, and then pure truth is no longer guaranteed which, however, secures My spirit’s working. Therefore let yourselves be given a gift, for I know what gift you require, I also know what questions will be asked, both on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom …. And you yourselves may also ask Me questions …. However, you should not stoop into areas into which you have not yet attained the necessary maturity and the answers to which only satisfy your curiosity, but you yourselves cannot create any advantage for the soul with this acquired knowledge …. unless you reverently bow down before My greatness and remain in deepest humility …. Yet the truly humble person allows himself to be given gifts because he knows that I, as his father of eternity, always make people happy and offer them the right gifts which are a blessing for him. When I walked the earth I was often asked questions which reached far into My eternal plan of salvation. But these people had also been misled in their thinking and therefore I had to explain much to them which, however, is generally not necessary or useful for humanity to know …. For this reason, the truth conveyed in the time before the end, in which you humans now live, primarily concerns explanations which contribute to the understanding of My eternal plan of salvation and which provide people with the right information about the meaning and purpose of their existence and their task on earth. And every individual person can bring his soul to maturity and expand his knowledge, which corresponds to the truth, without limit if he nourishes the light of love within himself, so that its illuminating power becomes ever stronger and imparts the most profound knowledge to the human being ….. Yet the human being’s will and activity of love is the first prerequisite for this, because any knowledge conveyed to him can only be described as living knowledge, as true realization, when he himself has become receptive to it through a life of love, which therefore also signifies full understanding of it. Even the deepest knowledge remains dead for the human being who has not himself brought his inner light to unfold …. For only then will the human being have the ‘right knowledge’ …. and penetrate the divine secrets which I Myself will now reveal to the human being who is about to attain perfection ….

Amen

Purification of the soul ….

B.D. 8394 from January 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

All those who follow Me and also take up their cross, will also be blessed by the cross …. All who suffer in submission to My Will will be true followers of Jesus …. Your soul still needs purification as long as you live on earth, for only rarely has a soul purified itself so much in its existence on this earth that it no longer needs suffering, only rarely has an extremely high degree of love brought about the purification of a soul so that it can enter the kingdom of light and bliss as a true child of God. It will always still be burdened with a measure of suffering which will help it to reach the final perfection, so that all dross will have been dissolved and My light of love can now radiate through the soul in all fullness. And I will always give you the necessary strength to carry your cross or take it upon My shoulders and help you carry it if it seems too heavy to you, for then only heartfelt supplications to Me will suffice and you will feel noticeable relief. But you should not try to avert every measure of suffering from you, for then the measure of beatitude in the spiritual kingdom will also be less. But I know what you are capable of bearing, and truly, I will not burden you with a greater burden ….. Always remember that you still dwell in the kingdom whose lord is My adversary and that he will wrestle for your souls until your death, and his temptations mainly consist of causing you to rebel against Me, he only ever wants to trigger impatience, displeasure, agitation in you in order to lower doubts about My love in you at such moments …. He wants your love for Me to diminish and you should not grant him this triumph …. You should be devoted to Me with love and know that even this suffering is determined by My love which wants to cause you all the greater bliss and therefore your soul should become ever more perfect, to which every suffering, borne in surrender, also contributes. This is why I spoke the words: ‘If anyone wants to follow Me, let him take up his cross ….’ All your soul substances must spiritualise themselves, nothing that still belongs to earth should remain attached to your soul, including the urges and passions from the past which you brought with you into your earthly existence as a human being. And often you have to struggle for a very long time until you have overcome them. And all physical suffering contributes to this …. Your soul crystallises and dissolves all slag which prevents the penetration of My ray of love or reduces its strength. But My ray of love means bliss for you, it means right life which lasts forever. Therefore, calmly let your body die, don’t be disturbed if you have to suffer but know that you will leave your earthly body all the more joyfully when the hour has come which I have set for your departure from this earth. But also know that I Myself determine this hour and that you can still live for a long time despite your infirmities and pain if it is necessary to complete a task I have set for you …. And as long as this task has not been accomplished you will also be provided with the necessary strength for it, and ever more quietly you will surrender into My will and carry your cross, because then I Myself will also walk beside you as a cross-bearer and the burden will no longer seem so heavy to you. The bond with Me also ensures My constant supply of strength, and My strength is truly mighty in the weak. For as long as I need you, your course of life is also determined by My will, and time and again you will be able to ascertain that everything will work out as it serves you and your task …. You will not need to worry about yourselves, for I will take care of you, and I will also visibly support your mission and bring it to completion. For it is not just about your own life but about the lives of countless people who shall still attain true life through you and who are in greatest spiritual hardship if they are not helped. But since such help always has to be given voluntarily and out of love in order to be successful, I will also not abandon My co-workers who have this will to help and let Me work through them …. And even if their earthly fate seems exceedingly difficult, the soul will nevertheless have the strength and take everything upon itself humbly, because it will constantly increase in spiritual strength as a result and also become the overcomer of its body …. For it, too, will be able to spiritualize its substances, and one day the soul will realize that even the greatest physical suffering has only been a blessing for it ….

Amen

Does man have free will? ….

B.D. 8395 from January 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

I will never force a person’s will to walk on right paths, be it in his conduct of life, in his attitude towards Me and the spiritual kingdom or even in his endeavour to verbalize the pure truth ….. He always has complete freedom from Me but he should not abuse it. Thus you will also understand that the human being’s freedom of will means everything, that it is the cause of the human being’s spiritual state, of his spiritual blindness but also of his enlightened thinking, for he himself, i.e. his free will, substantiates everything. Thus his free will can strive for the deepest depths again, but it can also strive for the height, and accordingly it will be fulfilled. But the human being’s free will cannot be taken away, otherwise he would only act like a machine, only guided by My will, and a deification into an image of Me would not be possible. Yet the latter is My goal which I have set Myself and which I will also achieve, for no matter how long it takes this free will will one day belong to Me and strive for nothing other than the being’s final unification with Me …. But this is also the reason for the everlasting battle between Me and My adversary for the human being’s will, for the human being’s soul is won by whomever he turns to. Both I Myself and My adversary use all means because all coercion is excluded and I cannot deny My adversary the right to try everything because the being once followed him voluntarily …. And since it concerns the deification of all beingness which once came forth from Me as a creature, as a work of My love, wisdom and might, My wisdom devised a plan which consisted of the being’s will entering into My will of its own free will, even though it was not forced to do so but could also think and act of its own free will …. And this insertion or subordination under My will had to be accomplished by love …. The being had to be so devoted to Me in ardent love that it no longer wanted to accept any other will than Mine and was immeasurably happy as a result. Thus I did not prevent the being when it voluntarily turned away from Me, because only this created the possibility to become a ‘child’ from a ‘work’ of My love, which voluntarily allowed itself to be subordinated to Me with heartfelt love for Me …. For this love also led to the highest perfection which the very being itself has to strive for and achieve in order to be able to work next to Me completely freely in light and strength, which I achieved from eternity …. I can certainly make all beings blissfully happy without limitation, but nevertheless it is something different whether the work of My love always just remains a ‘work’ or is once a being completely independent of Me and My will which is no longer determined by My will …. even if it does not resist it …. but that it has made itself completely free and yet now, out of its love, which gives it brightest light, wants and achieves the same as I Myself …. because this very love indissolubly unites the being with Me, which, however, is a self-aware, free, individual being …. an image of Myself. “Become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect …. ” This possibility therefore exists that you become My images, that you deify yourselves, that you become true children of God, whom My will could not create, but who must fashion themselves into it …. Hence your free will is proof of divine origin, but it is also the path to highest perfection and you will then have shaped yourselves into gods in truth, who create and work with Me in infinity and are immeasurably happy. Free will is the main factor of the whole process of return, but only for the self-aware being, for as long as the being is deprived of self-awareness, when it passes through creation dissolved into countless particles, it no longer possesses free will, which I have bound for a certain time in order to create the possibility for the being to use its free will correctly again. As soon as the being is self-aware it will always be able to decide freely and will not be forced in any way, neither by Me nor by My adversary. But precisely then a great responsibility rests upon it, for its free will can be directed downwards again, which results in an infinite state of misery …. However, his will can also strive (direct) upwards without any change and highest bliss can then be his fate for eternity. And you humans often dispute this free will because your earthly fate is sometimes shaped in such a way that you clearly sense a strong power and therefore consider yourselves unfree ….. However, it is not a question of whether it is impossible for you to carry out something, but only about your innermost will, how it is directed. It is not about earthly desire but only about spiritual goals which you can only achieve with a correctly directed will, because then you will also irrevocably receive the strength to accomplish what you want. And therefore you humans cannot shift responsibility away from yourselves with the objection that you do not possess free will …. that you are determined by your living conditions and your fate to your will and thinking …. Although the latter also contributes to you being able to direct your will correctly, for this is My constant endeavour, and therefore everything in life also comes upon you in such a way that it would be easy for you to give your will the right direction …. Yet you always have to decide for yourselves, and therefore your return to Me can also extend over endless times, and you may have to travel the path through creation several times …. precisely because you are free in your will and thinking …. Yet one day I will reach the goal of being able to draw you to Me as My children, and therefore My love will not rest until the beings created by Me will be able to work in supreme bliss for their own happiness, in free will, which is also Mine, because it is only ever determined by profound love and the love of all beings will one day belong to Me for eternity ….

Amen

Truthful enlightenment about plan of salvation from eternity ….

B.D. 8396 from January 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

When you are introduced to My plan of salvation it is also evidence of My love, for a realm is opened up to you which no human intellect could fathom unless My spirit is able to work. The spiritual realm is so far away from you humans that you don’t recognize it as reality, it cannot be proven to you, and you cannot establish a connection with it either unless this connection is spiritually established. And therefore I enlighten you as to how and in what form this possibility exists …. I present this plan of salvation to you which you can think about even if you have not yet progressed spiritually to such an extent that My spirit can work directly in you …. But your intellect can deal with knowledge and its will only determines whether it is comprehensible to it …. And the intellect must first be stimulated to think about it, only then will the human being’s will have an effect …. which, if he positively attunes himself to it …. can achieve the greatest spiritual success. Once the human being is induced to let his thoughts wander into spiritual territory, then there is also the possibility that he will seek to fathom this territory …. And if a person is now moved into spiritual knowledge purely intellectually, then this is an incentive for him to research. But since he will not be able to achieve anything with his intellect alone, since no evidence will accrue to him if he only makes use of his intellect …. then the strength of his will to learn more is decisive for the knowledge he now receives. In some way, therefore, the human being must be pushed into a train of thought, although it is then entirely up to him to then pursue and further develop this train of thought …. And there is no area that would be better suited than to fathom the very “why” that explains everything that visibly exists …. provided that the human being occupies himself with such thoughts in hours of inner reflection …. For he who is only purely worldly minded also only thinks purely earthly. And yet deeper thoughts will also touch him again and again, which he can now accept or also reject. But even the thoughtful person remains ignorant as long as he only receives knowledge from outside. Often, however, strokes of fate or even the fate of the human being’s life itself cause him to ask questions that he cannot answer for himself. And then a transmission of spiritual knowledge from outside can also be a blessing by stimulating his intellect, which then tries to deal with it according to its spiritual constitution …. And such fruitful spiritual material can be the clarification about My plan of salvation from eternity, about the cause of the emergence of creation and the meaning and purpose of earthly life …. about the process of return of the spiritual substances which once fell away from Me. If the human being has a deeper disposition, i.e. if he already lives a life of love in accordance with My will, then such knowledge will also appear acceptable to him, and then he will enter the spiritual level and seek to penetrate deeper, he will venture into areas which I will then gladly open up to him because he will not erect an obstacle himself which, however, a loveless way of life would erect. Thus My spirit will now also be able to work in him, and his initially dark spiritual state will change into a state of brightest light where everything concerning the spiritual kingdom and My reign and activity will be understandable to him. Then his thinking will not be able to go astray either. Anyone who acquires knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation …. i.e., anyone who willingly accepts the knowledge he is given …. knowledge will also come alive in him and lead to the right realization. For he will also soon recognize the purpose of earthly life and establish the state of divine order within himself, as is his earthly task …. For this reason, however, it is very necessary that people are instructed in all truth precisely about the eternal plan of salvation, for only this truth touches the human being’s intellect and heart and both will willingly accept it, whereas an educated teaching only leads to inner resistance and people will soon drop such thoughts and never take the spiritual path but more than ever fall prey to the world and their hearts will no longer have room for spiritual thoughts. As soon as people live a life of love their thoughts will also move more in the truth and they will easily come to realize …. But since love increasingly grows cold and there is the greatest danger that the human being will not accept anything spiritual, I try to give him a direct explanation about My eternal plan of salvation which, as mentioned, is intended to stimulate the intellect to reflect …. Yet time and again a person’s willingness to love will also determine his success, since his will is free and will never be forced by Me to make the right decision. Consequently, many people could still come to recognize the truth, and every effort will also be made to bring it to them …. but where there is still resistance My love cannot achieve anything either, which loses its effectiveness in the case of all resistance or repulsion. But I will not stop stimulating people’s thinking and also use the most diverse means, and one day I will nevertheless reach My goal, even if a long time will pass, for My love will never cease ….

Amen
