Book 88 · BD 8397–8424
Spiritual state before the crucifixion …. Book of Books ….
B.D. 8397 from January 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
You humans often wonder why My eternal plan of Salvation is not clearly and distinctly mentioned in the Book of Books so that all people would be able to know what forms the basis of their human existence …. Consequently, you doubt the revelations which inform you of this in depth …. However, you should bear in mind that people’s spiritual state before My birth would not allow for such knowledge, that people would have been unable to understand it, because prior to My crucifixion My adversary still ruled supreme and he would never have allowed any light, instead the darkness constantly increased since only a few people kindled a light within them as a result of their life of love. Although they knew of a God Who had created them they lacked all deeper realisation and therefore also the knowledge of their relationship with their God and Creator. They certainly knew that I expected them to abide by My commandments which had been imparted to them through enlightened people …. whom I had sent to earth for the purpose of instruction. And had they lived their life according to My commandments they would indeed have gained a small degree of realisation. But the knowledge about everything that was still hidden from them could never have been academically taught, for their intellect would have been unable to grasp it and their souls, due to their still unredeemed original sin, were not highly mature either. For this reason even the prophets were generally reluctantly listened to, because people, had they cared to heed them, would have had to limit their pleasure in life. There were only ever a few exceptions with the desire to be obedient to their God and Creator and to be of service to Him. And in individual cases they were indeed granted knowledge which they recorded but which did not remain preserved when My adversary’s influence on people became increasingly stronger so that their spiritual state, shortly before My birth, was exceptionally low …. and therefore no longer receptive to such knowledge …. Then I Myself came to earth and brought a light into this extraordinary darkness …. But even then My light was only able to shine where My adversary was unable to assert himself, where the desire to live according to divine order motivated people to live a life of love …. I was able to grant a small light to them already and enlighten them about their relationship with their God and Creator.
Nevertheless, even these instructions only took place from person to person, because I knew every individual’s degree of maturity and prevented that these, too, would be turned into academic knowledge, which indeed could have been passed on through tradition but which would have remained incomprehensible to anyone who had not yet ignited a light within himself through love …. Through My act of Salvation the original sin had been redeemed and My spirit was able to work within a human being whose kind-hearted activity allowed for it …. For even then I taught that love is the most important …. Anyone who lived up to this commandment was also instructed by My spirit and attained the knowledge he needed in order to fulfil his purpose of earthly life …. And this is what you need to fully mature in your soul …. The psychological work is paramount and everything that induces you to do carry it out will be sent to you by My spirit. And the wishes of anyone with a deep desire to penetrate more profound wisdom will indeed be granted. But since only a few people awaken their spirit to life, a traditionally-imparted knowledge would only confuse them as long as they are still spiritually unenlightened. For this reason, no such knowledge has been recorded on My instructions either, for anyone would be able to attain it if he seriously wanted to penetrate My plan of Salvation. Yet for the majority of people who live indifferently and who are satisfied with the spiritual knowledge they receive by educational means it would never be a blessing if all correlations were clearly explained, for they consist of such profound spiritual reasons which the intellect cannot grasp but presuppose an awakened spirit in order to be comprehended.
No-one who seriously strives for it is denied the right realisation, but this also necessitates compliance with My will, which is revealed to all people and which all people know because they are also told by the inner voice …. by the voice of conscience …. what they should or should not do. And since My adversary’s only intention is to spread darkness and to fight against all light he will also always influence people such that they themselves will prevent all inner enlightenment, and he will also try to present the truth in such a distorted way to people that they will lack all understanding for knowledge which deeply penetrates My plan of Creation and which requires precisely this awakened spirit …. That which is contained within the Book of Books is completely sufficient for the complete maturing of the human soul provided everything is being heeded …. Yet even this content is beyond most people’s understanding for the letters will remain dead as long as they are not read with an awakened spirit …. And this applies to all knowledge which time and again is transmitted to earth through revelations and is pure truth …. This, too, will only be correctly understood and utilised by someone who is willing to love and who is spiritually awakened, and he will then be able to penetrate the deepest secrets and understand My eternal plan of Salvation ….
Amen

God's merciful love ….
B.D. 8398 from January 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Anyone who completely gives himself to Me will truly not regret it, for then he will have accomplished his return to Me, irrespective of his soul’s degree of maturity, for it will still be able to raise it on earth and also in the kingdom of the beyond, because I will no longer let anything fall back which once turned to Me of its own free will. But only the serious will is to be understood by this, not empty words of the mouth, for such are not valid before Me. And therefore it is every person’s own business to establish this intimate contact; yet he can be blessed if his thoughts no longer leave Me, if he …. whatever he starts …. always takes the path to Me and no longer leaves Me out of his thoughts. Oh, if only I could persuade you all to see your father in Me, in Whom you can entrust all your worries, Who is always ready for you, Who constantly stands by your side and spreads His hands protectively over you …. Earthly life would then only impart all blessings to you, open up all treasures of grace which you only needed to lift …. My infinite love is always intent on your spiritual well-being, and I only ever pour out My blessings upon you without measure …. For it is the last short time when you can still perfect yourselves on earth if only you enter into an intimate relationship with Me. And once you have established this relationship with Me, your earthly life will also be one of constant service with love, because you will also constantly receive strength of love from Me, for anyone who devotes himself to Me can be permeated by My love again, and then he can no longer help but work on earth with love …. And all his will and thinking will be filled with love, and his nature will change back into its original state, which means constant approach to Me and leads to complete union with Me. And because I long for this intimate bond with Me I help you to achieve it in every way …. Yet often My boundless love for you is not recognized, and often you humans pass by indifferently when I also obviously step into your path and want to lure you to Me …. Then I have to let it happen that you go astray, and I cannot stop you, I don’t want to curtail your free will. But I will not give you up after all and court you until the hour of your death. And if I only succeed in making you still long for Me from the bottom of your heart then I will also be with you and not let you fall into the abyss ….. And in the beyond you will also still be given the opportunity to achieve a small ascent, and then you will strive for the height on your own …. Only don’t completely turn away from Me on earth, for then you will have irrevocably fallen prey to the one who threw you down to the abyss, and you will have to spend an infinitely long time in wretchedness and torment again …. For your own will determines your fate. And therefore humanity, which still keeps itself so far away from Me, has mercy on Me because it has turned its eyes towards the world and passes Me by when I step into people’s path. They all take pity on Me and therefore I repeatedly let My word resound which will also reach their ears if they are only temporarily open-hearted …. And My address can always bring about a change in their attitude, yet they will always decide for themselves whether they will let Me speak to them once …. Yet the most peculiar occasions can bring this about, and therefore My vineyard workers shall also be tirelessly active and speak in My stead or convey My word to them as soon as they inwardly feel an assignment to do so. For time and again people will feel addressed and will not be able to close themselves off to the power of My word …. And every single soul is precious to Me, and its return fills Me with a bliss which you cannot comprehend. For you don’t know the depth and omnipotence of My love which wants to fill all beings if only they would give up their resistance …. And this love will follow every soul until the end and try to persuade it to return before it is too late. For soon the time limit set for you humans will have expired, and then the last harvest will be held on this earth …. And then My own will rejoice and be glad, and great horror will befall those people who resist Me until the end …. and therefore have to walk the path through creation again …. My measure of grace until the end is exceedingly great, yet every person must voluntarily avail himself of My grace, then he will also belong to My own who will be saved in the end, as it is proclaimed through word and scripture ….
Amen

God is from eternity ….
B.D. 8399 from February 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 88
From Me all things have come forth …. There is nothing that does not have My power of love as its origin …. And there is no other source of strength from Me …. From eternity everything is My work, for spiritual creations exist from eternity, from eternity I work, because strength always requires a field of activity where it can become effective …. But these creations are completely incomprehensible to you humans; it is enough for you to know that I was and am active from eternity, that I cannot be inactive because the eternally flowing flow of strength does not allow such …. You humans have too weak a faculty of thought and cannot be given any information about the nature of My activity, yet you should know one thing, that only the creation of beings like Me prepared a beatitude for Me of which you have no idea. And this creation lies endless eternities in the past, so that you should only ever understand the term ‘in the beginning’ figuratively, i.e. determined for you and your capacity for comprehension …. For for Me there is neither time nor space, and thus the living with essential creations is likewise of eternity, only this process of the creation of beings is to be especially emphasized as an indescribable act of bliss. For you humans should be able to form a small idea during the time of your earthly change and it will therefore be explained to you according to your capacity. But as soon as your soul has already reached a small degree of maturity you will recognize of your own accord that nothing is limited for Me and that you may never spatially or temporally limit My creation and activity in all of infinity. But one thing is the incontrovertible truth that there was once a ‘beginning’ for you as spiritual beings …. precisely because you emerged from Me, because you were spiritual creations …. Evidence of My immeasurable abundance of strength which became active in love and wisdom …. Nevertheless, this beginning lies eternities in the past, and thus only the multiplicity and immense number of earthly works of creation will be explainable to you, which only concern a tiny measure of the entire creations, of the universe, and you will be able to imagine …. even if you don’t quite grasp …. how innumerable the beings created by Me were, and as a result also learn to understand the endless times which are to bring about the deification of these created beings …. Yet you must never form limited ideas in this contemplation either, for with Me there is no limitation and will not be until all eternity …. And My strength will constantly let new creations arise, My love and wisdom will create nothing without meaning and purpose, and everything will always serve to make the beingness that emerged from Me happy …. For My fundamental being is love which wants to give itself away, which also requires vessels into which it can pour …. Beings which return love to Me and therein also lies My beatitude …. And love always wants to give and receive, and this exchange is a process of bliss which you humans are unable to grasp …. And if I give you a small glimmer of light of realization about it, this is also already a granting of My infinite love, for which I want to give you a small proof in order to also kindle your love for Me, which will then also drive you to seek the final union with Me …. For only then will I be able to make you happy when all earthly form has fallen away from you, when you, as inhabitants of the kingdom of light, can also be permeated by My light of love from eternity and are now also no longer bound by the law of time and space …. Then the concept of eternity will also be comprehensible to you, and you will know that you, too, already exist for eternities and that only the state of imperfection also signifies temporal and spatial limitation, but that even in this state you are unable to receive an all-encompassing enlightenment. Nevertheless, in My love I provide you with gifts of the highest value in order to spur you on to constant spiritual striving, so that you can still reach the degree of perfection on earth which makes you worthy of the brightest radiance of light when you enter the spiritual kingdom and you will be and remain immeasurably blissful for all eternity ….
Amen

The soul's entry into the kingdom of light ….
B.D. 8400 from February 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Every spiritual request shall be granted to you …. I have given you this promise because My love will fulfil everything that will benefit your soul. And thus you can also rest assured that you will enter the kingdom of light and bliss after your physical death if you have lived your life on earth in accordance with My will, if you have demonstrated your love for Me through your activity of unselfish neighbourly love …. and if you have lived your life on earth with Me by having allowed Me to be your constant companion ….
‘He that believeth in Me hath everlasting life ….’ And anyone who lives a life of love also believes in Me with a true, living faith, and he will therefore be granted a blissful life in the spiritual kingdom …. And realisation will indeed come to him in a flash, he will move within true thinking and his happiness is such that the soul with its light, by which it is permeated, will also be able to delight the souls which still linger in darkness and long for light …. by making others happy it will find its own happiness, and so it has to have a bright light shining within itself first ….
You humans cannot possibly imagine this beatitude nor the nature of the activity, but you may well believe that these souls will no longer desire to return to earth …. especially since they know that no human being will remain on earth and every soul will soon meet its loved ones again. Therefore they should not grieve either but only ever strive to achieve a high degree of love which will facilitate their spiritual vision, because this degree is necessary for souls to meet again immediately after their passing away from this world …. otherwise the souls will first have to strive for and attain this degree in the beyond.
Yet the fact that people will meet again one day is absolute truth, and it will be an exceptionally joyful moment when the union takes place in the spiritual kingdom. You humans, who are affected by harsh strokes of fate, should always bear in mind that whatever happens to you in earthly life is only founded on My love and wisdom …. Stay mindful of the fact that I don’t want to cause you suffering but greater beatitudes, which you often gain through suffering …. And you should not doubt it but humbly accept everything and, truly, the blessing will not fail to materialise itself. And if, one day, you look back on your earthly existence, you will be filled by profound gratitude and love for Me, Whom you recognise as your Father, Who only has His children’s fate at heart, which will await them in the kingdom of the beyond ….
Be aware of the fact that you won’t stay much longer on this earth, and that you therefore will have to accept a greater amount of suffering in order to reach the goal of voluntarily uniting yourselves with Me. And every prayer you send to Me will come from the bottom of your heart and therefore will also be answered by Me …. You will often send your thoughts into the kingdom which is your true home, and will also be allowed to receive currents of light and strength from this realm, you will keep in constant contact with those who merely went ahead of you and who …. if you possess a high degree of maturity and light …. will support you to also achieve your goal while you are still on earth …. For a soul which is already permitted to spread light will also be able to transmit the light to you humans, and that means that you will then live within utter truth, for where light exists no error will be able to sustain itself because it will be recognised as such, and the path of anyone living in truth must lead to the goal without fail.
And believe that I know every thought in your heart, and thus I also know what you still need and take care that it will be imparted to you …. And even if I occasionally use painful means they will nevertheless liberate the souls from their physical constraints and they will merely exchange earthly life with a far more beautiful life in the spiritual kingdom, where they will be of loving service to Me and therefore also enjoy beatitudes which earthly life cannot offer …. For they have entered the eternal truth from whence they once originated ….
Amen

The soul's realisation what it once had been ….
B.D. 8401 from February 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 88
I only ever want you to think about the fact that you are of divine origin …. and that you therefore should regard yourselves as sparks which were emanated by Me Myself, which will eternally remain that which they had been …. divine living creations of the same fundamental substance as I Am, even if they changed their own nature and turned into beings who deprived themselves of all divine characteristics. However, this state will not go on forever but will also change again, so that their fundamental nature will surface …. so that they will create and work like Me in all perfection again, so that they will develop into My image again and remain that way forever. If you consider the fact that I Myself Am your origin …. that the highest and most perfect Being created you through its love, then you should tremble and have no other desire but to become again what you were in the beginning …. And your subsequently recognised imperfection and weakness should make you feel profoundly humble and motivate you into sincerely praying to Me for help to become the same again so that you will be able to join Me …. And truly, you will receive an abundance of blessings, for this resolve will open your heart to Me and I will be able to permeate it with My strength of love, which will enable you to change yourselves and to adopt your fundamental nature once more. You should only ever remember that you came forth from Me Myself …. that you are and will remain My Own, because I never relinquish that which belongs to Me …. Even if it voluntarily turned away from Me and remains opposed to Me …. you are and remain My strength of love which once flowed forth from Me and which will irrevocably flow back to Me again one day, because this is the law of eternity …. Nevertheless, your own realisation of your origin would shorten your path of return, for once you recognise yourselves as divine living creations you will have taken the first step of coming back to Me, for in the past you did not want to acknowledge Me as your God and Creator, and that was your downfall.
It was pride which made you assume that you can do without My flow of strength and which therefore caused your state of unhappiness …. If, in earthly life, you are aware of your divine origin then you will also know that only in association with Me can you receive strength and light again, that you can only regain your divine characteristics through being illuminated by My light of love and that it is not impossible to re-enter your original state, that you can truly become as gods, as you were intended to be in the very beginning. If, however, you only look upon yourselves as people living on earth without a purpose and goal, as creatures which, like other creations, populate the world and are transient, then you are spiritually utterly unenlightened and the path of your final return to your starting point, to your God and Father of eternity, will still be infinitely long, then you will not recognise any meaning or purpose of earthly life, you will only be earthly-minded and you manifest this completely wrong nature yourselves through your wrong attitude towards Me, your God and Creator. Recognise only yourselves and ask yourselves every so often what might form the basis of your human existence …. Think about what you are and where you came from …. Don’t consider yourselves so inferior that you will vanish again into nothingness when your body dies …. For then you will even deem yourselves less than an animal which is unable to think, since you don’t use the intellect given to you. And your free will and your intellect alone should be proof to you of a Power Which created you and Whose creations testify to supreme wisdom …. And this Power will truly not externalise from Itself something that is imperfect but beings of utmost perfection; yet you humans are not aware of the fact that you are these beings which fell away from Me, and therefore I keep informing you of this apostasy and My loving care to encourage your voluntary return …. And therefore I only try to stimulate you to think about yourselves, as to what you are and why you live on earth. You should consider what a wonderful work of creation you are, how intricately your body is structured and how supremely wisely its functions are arranged; by this alone you would have to recognise that you are of divine origin, that your Creator must be a supremely perfect Being Who externalised living beings from within Himself with the ability to think and want and which therefore must be destined to be something else than to just live as a human being on earth and to comply with earthly demands only to cease to exist again afterwards …. And if only it made you realise that your life on earth must have meaning and purpose, then you would make an effort to discover it, so therefore your ascent would also be assured, for then you would live responsibly and one divine characteristic after another would emerge in you again, because your fundamental substance is divine strength which strives to manifest itself …. In that case you will also look for unity with Me and thus offer Me the opportunity to illuminate you with My strength of love once more, and then you will be that again which you were in the beginning ….
Amen

Impact of the knowledge of the plan of salvation ….
B.D. 8402 from February 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Understand that everything you see arose out of love for you, My creatures, so that you had the opportunity to become again what you are now …. I-conscious beings who shall take the last short path back to Me, their origin …. grasp the fact that you had previously lost your self-awareness and had passed through all works of creation dissolved into countless particles, but that you were originally created by Me as self-aware beings and shall also reach your original state again, for which purpose the short earthly path shall serve you. This work of return is so powerful that it has to be held up to you time and again so that you will also recognize the great significance of your earthly progress, because your fate in eternity depends on it …. And therefore I initiate you into My eternal plan of salvation and give you knowledge which is not known to all people …. And only those people will ever be able to understand it who seriously concern themselves with the meaning and purpose of earthly life. And only these are also able to point it out to their fellow human beings again and make the great significance of earthly life clear to them …. And again, this is urgently necessary because it is the last time before the end and then a new era begins which will only be experienced by those people who seriously endeavour to return to Me. It is like at the time of My life on earth that only a few are ever receptive to profound knowledge about My reign and activity …. because humanity’s spiritual level has reached a low again, that the general public is completely inaccessible to such knowledge and it would also be pointless to provide them with evidence that their existence as a human being required an endless path through creation which was excruciatingly agonizing for the soul …. Such knowledge is only accepted by a few and accordingly the way of life is now led. And in no way can people be forced to believe in it, because such faith would also be futile and only fear would then determine them to change their way of life. But I know how the knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation affects people of different natures, I know who gains spiritual advantages for himself through profound faith, who learns to recognize and love Me because he sees My love in everything and is full of reverence towards My working. And like sparks of light I spread this knowledge everywhere by passing on the word from My servants on earth …. Wherever there is only an open heart I will shine My light into it and thus will still be able to reap a rich harvest when the end comes for the people of this earth …. when the great transformation will take place, when completely new creations will arise again so that the work of return will be continued and the still bound spiritual substances can also ascend. Anyone who would only look at the works of creation around him with open eyes and an open heart would also think about it and soon receive truthful enlightenment. Yet people blindly pass by the miracles of My love and wisdom and might, for they are still completely blind in spirit and their state cannot improve as long as they are devoid of all love. And so long they are still in bondage to My adversary who will do everything to prevent people from working with love. But people’s intellect shall be appealed to when the knowledge is conveyed to them of their infinitely long path before their human existence …. so that a few will become thoughtful and reckon with the truth of it and then a change in their way of life will also be possible …. And even though these prospects are very small I am nevertheless concerned about every soul in order to win it for Me before the end comes. Time and again people shall be instructed to think about everything that surrounds them, which pleases their eyes as a work of creation, which was not created by human hand …. Then they will also be open-minded towards the knowledge which explains everything to them but which cannot be explained to them humanly or only insufficiently and therefore had to be gained through spiritual working. For this reason I will time and again inform you humans of My eternal plan of salvation, especially in the last days before the end, in order to give you truthful information about My love, wisdom and might, which shall and can awaken love for Me in you and then also guarantee your return to Me, which, however, can never take place without love ….
Amen

Evidence for the authenticity of the gospels ….
B.D. 8404 from February 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
More and more evidence of My love shall be given to you if only you seriously desire unity with Me and make an effort to live in accordance with My will. For then your love for Me will also grow ever stronger, which I also desire because it makes Me happy when My children recognize Me as their father and return eternally. And you should also know that I know your every thought, that I want to answer your every question as soon as this serves the salvation of your souls …. And you should know that I only ever did one thing on earth, to instruct My disciples, as I do today, because I wanted them to pass on the knowledge they received from Me, that they should spread the truth …. as I also demand the same from you today, My disciples of the last days …. I also instructed My disciples about things which were not general knowledge but which required spiritual maturity in order to be understood …. But My disciples were not yet full of the spirit either, many things were still incomprehensible to them, even though I Myself had been their teacher. Yet the act of salvation had not yet been accomplished, which only made the enlightenment through My spirit possible, because the original sin first had to be redeemed before My spirit could pour itself upon My disciples …. But then they also had the realisation in a flash, and everything I had taught them clearly came to their awareness, and now they were also able to record it in order to preserve this spiritual knowledge so that it would not get lost and also become a blessing for the following generations. And I truly blessed all these efforts and gave strength to those who allowed themselves to be guided by the spirit within themselves which was closely united with Me, as the father-spirit of eternity. For I had come to earth in order to bring light to people, that is, in order to proclaim the truth to them, because they could only become blissfully happy through the truth. Hence it was also My will that this truth should be spread, it was My will that it should remain pure, and therefore I could only choose those people to be guardians of the pure truth who had the prerequisites for it: who were united with Me in heartfelt love and only ever demanded the truth themselves …. But these were also called to record My pure gospel, and thus the truth was established as it had originated from Me Myself. But I also knew that the truth would never remain pure, for I knew people’s spiritual state, I foresaw that not all people carried the same urge for truth within themselves and that therefore the truth was in danger of becoming deformed, which also happened when the prerequisites for the ‘working of the spirit in the human being’ were no longer present …. And I knew that pure truth would be deformed again and again as long as people were in an imperfect state …. which is why I Myself promised people the ‘comforter, the spirit of truth’, which means that I will repeatedly guide pure truth to earth through My spirit as soon as this requires the defilement of My teaching …. So what could be more obvious than that I also wanted to give you humans proof that things are as I tell you? For people want proof because they are weak in faith and because precisely all events connected with My earthly life will time and again appear doubtful to people because a long period of time lies in between from this time to now which makes it difficult for people to believe without any proof …. And I will give you humans this evidence through scriptures from that time which were concealed by My will and which contain the pure gospel as I Myself proclaimed it on earth …. which was recorded according to My will in all purity under the working of My spirit …. For I Myself placed it into the writer’s heart what and in what form I deemed it to be of blessing to humanity …. And I Myself held My protecting hand over a spiritual good which took its origin from Me as purest truth …. For all of you who will be exposed to great inner battles in the last days, through My adversary’s attacks of various kinds, you shall experience an obvious proof of My love and grace by which you can raise and strengthen yourselves when it is necessary to stand up for the truth, for then your faith will be unshakeable that I Myself work in a human being and that My working can also result in nothing but pure truth …. You need not doubt that such obvious evidence of My working is present in My first disciples, for you, who have already given yourselves to Me, can believe that it is possible for Me to protect a true spiritual possession from change by taking it out of people’s hands until I deem it fit to give it to them again. Especially for you it shall be a strengthening of faith, for anyone who only tries to fathom the truth of such spiritual knowledge on a purely intellectual level will never come to an inner conviction of its authenticity …. But people who want to believe will be extremely happy that I provide them with evidence of this kind. But whether this evidence will cause people to abandon the error with which they themselves have imbued the truth remains to be seen, for the latter will reject the pure truth as unauthentic again, and only those will recognize it who, through their will and way of life, are willing to accept My truth through the spirit from Me …. (6.2.1963) And those who examine the newly discovered spiritual knowledge will also be of two minds about its authenticity, for the examination also requires an awakened spirit and the intellect alone is not sufficient for this. And so groups will form again who will only accept what agrees with the spiritual knowledge they have held so far, even if they have to recognize and admit that they are faced with an undeniable proof ….. They will not draw the consequences …. and eradicate the error that has crept in over the course of time, as long as they themselves do not awaken the spirit within them …. What was recorded by My first disciples was faultless working of the spirit from Me …. It was absolute truth, and the fact that I allowed a part of these records to be protected from being altered by human hands was precisely due to the foresight of My adversary’s activity of imposing truth with error to such an extent that people are no longer willing to accept this altered spiritual knowledge and that they also reject all revelations on My part as satanic activity …. And the great time gap understandably also had to make it increasingly more difficult for people to believe those events from the time of My life on earth …. Yet My love wants to give proof to those who are of good will, and they shall be informed of the pure truth which will always remain the same because it originates from Me Myself. Human intellect does not shrink from changing the truth …. Thus only spirit-filled people could ensure that a spiritual possession was preserved, and they acted according to My inner instruction when they protected it from the influence of people whom My adversary urged to undermine the pure truth. However, what is from Me cannot be lost, nor does it lose its effectiveness …. Hence it has to become an immense blessing for people who desire to know the truth. I cannot curtail people’s will if it deforms the pure truth …. Yet I can withdraw a proof of My love from people’s influence so that no change can be made to it. And I can then let it emerge again if it is to fulfil its purpose …. to strengthen My own and give them a living faith, to bring them close to Me Myself and My working and to kindle a bright light where darkness has already greatly taken over ….
Amen

Different kinds of creations correspond to the beings' fall ….
B.D. 8405 from February 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
You inhabitants of earth are destined to become children of God, and therefore you have to overcome the lowest depths in order to be able to reach the highest heights. You will only understand this when you know that the beings’ apostasy was quite different in as much as their resistance to Me was not equally strong either …. so that, as a result of your maker’s will, you were also quite differently natured yourselves, which only relates to your degree of resistance, when you were supposed to make your free decision for Me or for My adversary. You all were permeated by the light of realisation, and yet you turned away from Me and joined My adversary, because you were able to see him in all his beauty, whereas I was invisible to you. Nevertheless you knew that you had originated from Me. Hence your resistance was more or less strong with the result that you were also assigned to different creations where you were likewise meant to take the path of return to Me, only the conditions differed from those which the inhabitants of earth had to comply with.
Earth is the work of creation which essentially makes the greatest demands on the fallen being in order to ascend again, whereas other stars offer their inhabitants easier possibilities, nevertheless, the ultimate goal …. the childship to God …. can only be attained on earth, even though the beings on other stars are granted unimaginable beatitudes after they have concluded their higher development and their will has subsequently been directed correctly ….
But in order to attain the childship to God the path across earth has to be travelled, and this can also be covered by a soul, if it so wishes, which has entered the spiritual kingdom from other heavenly bodies and which has reached the specific degree of maturity so that it can be granted a life on earth for the purpose of a mission. Then they (such souls) are already enlightened, yet they are not ‘non-fallen’ beings but beings from other stars …. whose distance to Me has not been so great, so that they relinquished their resistance to Me sooner and endeavoured to reach Me again. And as soon as they are enlightened again they also realise the significance of the creation work Earth, and many souls also desire to attain the degree of childship to God and thus accept the extremely difficult conditions because their love for Me and for humanity impels them to do redeeming work.
And thus souls, which do not achieve the degree of maturity during their earthly life, will similarly be able to continue their development in the beyond, and corresponding to their degree of maturity they will be assigned to schoolhouses where they can steadily ascend …. For creations everywhere are prepared for souls of all degrees of maturity, and since all creations are arranged differently and offer different living conditions they can already signify a state of joy for the souls having been transferred to them, for they are far more beautifully shaped than earth, since the creations therein delight the souls and inspire them to greater spiritual endeavours, for they so obviously testify of My love and might and wisdom, that it also intensifies these beings’ love for Me. For when the apostasy of the beings took place an incredibly long time ago, which you would already consider an eternity, all beings indeed turned away from Me, but a countless number also separated from My adversary again soon after their apostasy, they did not follow him into the deepest abyss but left the large host ….
And My will did the same unto them as it did unto those who had fallen furthest away: From the strength which had been emanated by Me as a being It formed different kinds of heavenly bodies than earth, and the process through these works of creation was far easier and continued faster for the fallen spirits, so that the beings returned to Me sooner, since Jesus’ act of Salvation was accomplished for these beings as well and it was possible to redeem their original sin, depending on each individual being’s attitude towards its God and Creator, Whom they also recognised in Jesus. For they, too, received the knowledge of the act of Salvation through messengers of light who worked amongst them, whom I assigned as teachers to all beings so that they will find and take the path to Me.
Consequently, there are untold possibilities for the still imperfect soul departing from earth to mature spiritually, and My love and wisdom truly recognises the most beneficial opportunity to achieve maturity for every single soul. And thus all creations in the universe are populated by spiritual beings in the most diverse degrees of maturity, and they offer unparalleled kinds of bliss and splendours to those who have already achieved a higher degree of light, yet they will always …. even for less mature beings …. exhibit better and easier living conditions than earth. For this truly is the most wretched work of creation, which requires a lot of effort and makes great demands on the fallen being …. up to the human being …. but which can lead to the most glorious fate: the childship to God, which makes up for all hardship a thousand fold and turns the being into the most blessed child which will be able to create and work with Me throughout the whole of eternity.
To what extent the creations in the universe are of a spiritual or still material consistency will only be recognised by you humans when you have attained a particular degree of maturity or light, but this much is certain, they all serve the once fallen spiritual beings as an abode and thus are also shaped in accordance with their state of maturity. Hence you should consider all heavenly bodies as schoolhouses which I established Myself in order to one day bestow upon My living creations the bliss again, which they once had voluntarily forfeited and which they will also have to voluntarily acquire again ….
Amen

Language of God by cosmic events ….
B.D. 8406 from February 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
You should always remember, that you can’t reach anything by your own strength, when it is about to avert disaster from you, that threatens you by unleashed forces of nature ….And even if you also have a great deal of vitality, so that you believe to master your earthly life …. you are completely powerless to events or forces, which are produced by the forces of nature ….you are at their mercy and you can only dam up their violence by having strong faith in Me and heartfelt prayer. And yet it seems impossible to you, that you selves will be affected by natural disasters, although you constantly get knowledge from those, that occur on the earth. But they don’t touch you much, as long as you are not affected from it. You will not accept something as truth, because it is not pleasant to you, but you will experience it, and then those will be blessed, who believe in a God and creator, whom is given all power in heaven and on earth, for he will call Him for help, which can not be given him by a human hand. And if you are still so richly blessed on earth, whether you are equal physically to all requirements, you will recognize your weakness and lack of strength in the face of impending disaster, that will come upon you. Because this is the last way, the last warning call before the end, which will bring you to your senses …. which applies especially to those, who go their way in thoughtlessness and lukewarmness and did not find a right attitude towards Me, their God and creator. I want to respond those people with a loud voice by the elements of nature, who do not respect My silent speech. I must try to make them thinking the other way by cosmic events, because teachings by My word are rarely adopted by them, and they don’t give credence to these. And so the earth will be afflicted by a natural disaster of such immense extent, that you people can’t believe, because nothing of that kind in the past is conscious to you …. But also that I have announced to you a long time before, but you always put everything in the far future, but once will become the present …. Countless people will lose their life, but these will have yet the possibility in the spiritual realm to develop upward. But the survivors is also available only a short time, which, however, would fully suffice, to ripen yet, if it is utilized right. Always again I must you people announce this natural event, that you can be prepared, that you believe it …. and that the unbelievers get to know a proof of the truth of My word, as they have through you acquired knowledge of what is imminent to the people on earth …. Never I have brought a court upon the earth without having people advised of such before …. And it will be a court for many people, who depart this life completely without faith and now must be responsible and must take the lot on themselves, which they themselves have created on earth. All of you would be shocked, if you would know, how short you are in front of that …. But you will never be given an exact time, because that would not beneficial to you …. But when I can speak directly to you and send on My word, then you truly can give faith to My words and accept everything as truth, even if it appears purely rationally not acceptable or not credible to you. Nevertheless deal with such thoughts, and this will only be a blessing. That’s why I let you people take insights into My eternal plan of salvation, so that you may understand it, that and why a total transformation of this earth is imminent to you, because it’s not just about you people, but also to the spiritual still bound in the creation, which shall get free and will continue its development …. And then you will understand also, that I let you people sound a last warning call by an immense natural disaster, so you do not get lost and must take again the lot of the new banishment upon you …. Because I’m still trying every means before the end, that could mean the aid for the people, who have not yet completely become addicted to My adversary …. But My eternal plan of salvation is set, and it comes true, when time has come ….
Amen

Examining spiritual information ….
B.D. 8407 from February 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
You will still be given a great deal of spiritual information which supposedly came from Me and you will always have to carefully check whether this spiritual information did, in fact, originate from Me. This will indeed be possible for you providing you are only interested in receiving the purest truth and appeal to Me for assistance. My spirit certainly works in all places because it is necessary for a light to be kindled for humanity in its spiritual darkness …. Yet My adversary will also avail himself of it by disguising himself in order to confuse people, for he is incapable of giving people a true light, he will only ever ignite deceptive lights for you which dazzle your eyes so much that they will subsequently hardly be able to recognise the gentle radiance of a true light. For he is hiding himself behind eminent names and, in so doing, causing confusion. People dare not refuse and yet they are being misled by those who speak to them. And you would be appalled if you knew to what extent his counteraction has started and will be deployed by him until the end …. People have a desire for unusual knowledge and this longing enables his activity by pretending to introduce them to such knowledge which, however, is not of the slightest value for the human being’s soul, which only lives on earth for the purpose of becoming fully mature. These ‘teachers’ will undeniably also speak words which intend to deceive, yet anyone who carefully examines them will have to admit that he cannot gain anything from such teachings, that he will not be ‘illuminated by light’, because My adversary himself does not possess light and therefore cannot distribute it either …. And time and again I can only ever advise you to sincerely appeal to Me for spiritual enlightenment, then you will also become bright and clear within and you will reject anything which did not originate from Me.
From many directions you will always be offered the same, for My adversary has no knowledge and therefore cannot impart it either. And only right and truthful knowledge will grant light to someone who genuinely desires it. Consequently, accept that which truly enlightens you …. which gives you the right information about Me and My nature and about My eternal plan of Salvation, so that you will then also brightly and clearly recognise your own task; that is the light which I Myself ignite for you …. However, if you are given empty words which don’t provide you with profound knowledge as to what you used to be, what you are and what you shall become again …. if you are invited to work for the kingdom of God without being told what this work consists of and why it should be carried out …. then you can rightfully reject them as phrases which merely intend to bluff you. And you should question yourselves as to whether you would gain anything if nothing else was known to you, if you …. were you completely ignorant …. tried to derive clarification from those communications alone. You would truly not be able to gain any kind of benefit, because they are all empty words which only came forth from My adversary in order to confuse you and to keep you away from the pure truth. Time and again he will also try to cause confusion in My ranks, so that even My Own will hold different views and people will become tired of spiritual striving if they are not given absolute clarity. Yet you possess so much light already that you will also recognise his work providing you scrutinise it impartially. Therefore, only ever take the path to Me and desire clarification and you will feel what you can accept and what you should reject in your heart …. For My adversary’s power will be defeated as soon as he wants to use it on those who already belong to Me due to their will, for I shall protect them from error because they desire the truth ….
Amen

Enlightenment about "outpouring of the spirit" ….
B.D. 8408 from February 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Let yourselves be guided into truth, as I have promised you: I Myself will teach you so that you will not doubt, because only pure truth can reach you from Me. And this truth especially extends to the clarification of knowledge which cannot be proven to you but which is necessary for you to fulfil your earthly task correctly. It is the knowledge of your beginning and your goal …. of your connection, your relationship with Me, your God and creator of eternity, and of Jesus Christ’s act of salvation, its significance and its reason …. If this knowledge is truthfully conveyed to you then your return to Me is guaranteed, but if you are given a defective or erroneous explanation about it then you will hardly fulfil your earthly task, which consists of fulfilling My will and fitting into the law of eternal order which you had voluntarily overturned. Thus it is necessary that you are offered pure truth, because without it you are ignorant as a result of having once stepped out of order. But you will not be able to accept the pure truth from people as long as they do not possess this truth themselves, and they will not possess it themselves as long as they do not allow My spirit’s working in them. But where does My spirit still work if people are taught completely wrongly, if they have no knowledge of this ‘working of My spirit’ …. and if they also do not fulfil the prerequisites which allow the ‘working of My spirit’ within themselves? …. Therefore they must first be instructed about this in fullest truth, which they must do themselves in order to hear My voice within themselves or …. in order to make it better understandable to them …. in order to attain right thinking, so that they will, as it were, penetrate the truth by themselves, so that they will only ever think as it corresponds to the truth from Me …. The ‘outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples’ is known to all, but they also only refer this miraculous event to those disciples and exclude themselves from the circle of those upon whom My spirit could be poured …. By ‘outpouring of the spirit’ you can first understand that your thinking is enlightened, that your thoughts are ordered and that they are guided by knowing forces which truthfully convey thoughts to you which you can process yourselves, and then you truly also possess a right recognition of truth …. that you represent it with conviction because you feel that it is the truth …. My spirit can then work in you and you need not fear to walk in error …. But you have to fulfil one condition: You must live a life of love, because you unite with Me through love and therefore also have to live in truth, whereas an unloving person has no bond with Me whatsoever and is only open-minded for the spiritual knowledge My adversary presents to him. A bright light shall be kindled for you humans about the meaning of the outpouring of the spirit upon you …. You should know that a spark of My divine spirit slumbers within you, which is inseparably connected to Me, and that you yourselves must ignite this spark within you through love …. This spirit spark is therefore in contact with Me, it is the same as I Myself am, it is divine share and thus light and strength in itself …. Thus it must also be able to impart knowledge to you because it knows everything, because it is a spark of light itself and a light always spreads a glow and illuminates the darkness. This divine spirit spark within you will therefore instruct you from within and always proclaim the purest truth from Me to you …. provided that you yourselves fulfil the prerequisite that you unite with Me through a life of love and that My spirit can flow into you. Only what My spirit imparts to you is truth, and therefore only the person who has received it directly from Me himself can pass on pure truth to his fellow human beings …. And pure truth will find acceptance where My spirit has already been able to take effect again, where I have been able to enlighten a person’s thinking, where it is guided by Me through My spiritual spark and thus the right order has been restored: where the human being has made love his principle of life …. So few people know about the outpouring of the spirit correctly and yet it explains so much that is still incomprehensible to people but which they should know in order to recognize their purpose of earthly life and seek to achieve it. Intellectual thinking offers people no guarantee for pure truth, which is already evident from the fact that it produces different results, whereas only the same truth is ever offered and received through the working of My spirit in the human being and therefore the truth of a spiritual possession can also be recognized from it, that its content completely corresponds to what I Myself taught people on earth, Who also promised them the outpouring of the spirit in order to instruct those correctly who, after My life on earth, should also know the truth and no longer had any guarantee as to whether pure truth was offered to them by their fellow human beings …. I pour out My spirit on all who fulfil My will and live in love …. And you humans should know what I want to be understood by ‘outpouring of the spirit’ …. You should all know that you conceal a spark of My eternal spirit of God within you and that this will truly ‘guide you into all truth’ as soon as you allow Me to work in you Myself through My spirit by your way of life. But who knows this of those who believe they can teach you? Only a few, otherwise this obvious transmission of My word from above would not be doubted or rejected, as is the case, for only a few people have an open ear and heart in order to let the light shine into them which is kindled for them through the transmission of truth …. Only a few people attach a deeper meaning to the very words about the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples and also accept them as spoken to themselves, only a few awaken their spirit within themselves to life and establish the intimate connection with the father-spirit of eternity …. because only a few know about the effect of a right life of love, because only a few people know that pure truth can only come forth from Me Myself and is conveyed to people through My spirit …. “who works in you who believe …. ” (1 Thessalonians 2:13 [Luther]). And that is why humanity walks in darkness, in error and wrong thinking, because it denies the spirit to work in it and therefore cannot move in the truth either …. For truth emanates from Me and shares itself with the divine part in the human being if he himself allows it through his will and his love ….
Amen

"He who abides in love …. "
B.D. 8409 from February 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
“Whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him …. “You should always remember these words of Mine in order to grasp the great significance of every activity of love which you carry out …. Since I am love Itself, you must also be in direct contact with Me when you practise love, for then you will also make use of the strength which originates from Me …. but you can only ever say this when one of your activities is based on love. For you can also utilize your vitality by working on earth for the sake of earthly goals, yet the bond with Me, Who is eternal love, is only guaranteed if love impels you to work. Then I will be present to you, I Myself will work in you, and My presence is the greatest success you can achieve …. Your love draws Me to you, or: love is My fundamental substance, and you are the same in your original being …. Thus, when you perform works of love you receive Me Myself into yourselves, your love unites with Me and your being slowly returns to the original state where it was completely permeated and stood in most intimate bond with Me …. Time and again you should remind yourselves of these words of Mine, that you cause Me to be constantly present if you constantly carry out works of love; and I will explain to you what it means to constantly be certain of My presence, so that you strive for this bond with Me with all your senses: I then direct all your thoughts, I determine your doings and intentions, I guide you on all your paths, I protect you from every danger of body and soul, I give you strength in abundance, spiritually as well as earthly …. I keep My adversary away from you, for he can never be where I am …. I enlighten your spirit and I also lead you safely to the goal …. All this is brought about by love within you, for as soon as you perform works of love your will also belongs to Me and you consciously take the path of return to Me, from Whose love you emerged. Being certain of My presence will make your earthly path easy for you, for then you will fear nothing because you feel safe and secure in My presence. “You remain in Me and I in you …. “As soon as you move in love, as soon as you work in My will and with My strength. And you should be aware of the fact that I only require love from you and that you will then completely fulfil your purpose of earthly life …. so that you will not walk this earthly path in vain but safely reach the goal. For you should only allow one thing on earth, that My strength of love can illuminate you again, and this happens when you accomplish works of love yourselves …. when you think of your neighbour with unselfish love, when you support him in every adversity and distress, be it spiritual or earthly …. when you take care of all those who are still distant from Me and try to lead them to Me and only ever let love impel you to work on earth. Every activity which is driven by love is blessed by Me, for you always open the door to your heart for Me Myself, into which I can radiate My love, into which I Myself can move and take abode, because I, as the eternal love, can only dwell where there is love. You will now also understand that people who do not perform any works of love are still very distant from Me, for only love allows My presence, but without love the distance remains, which you should reduce and completely remove during your earthly life if you don’t want to have lived it in vain. In the last days, however, love has grown cold amongst people, therefore My presence with them is impossible, therefore no living faith in Me as God and creator can be found anymore, and earthly life is an idle run for many and will therefore end prematurely for them. For without love there is no spiritual progress, there is no bond with Me and no redemption from the form …. Without love there is no light, and the human being remains in the power of My adversary, the prince of darkness, for without love the human being lives without God …. He remains distant from God and meets an agonising fate when the end has come ….
Amen

Fight against error …. Light conditions desire for truth ….
B.D. 8410 from February 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
It is a futile endeavour to expel error from the world because it depends on people themselves to what extent they desire the truth, and because God’s adversary has supremacy in the last days before the end and he will always work against the truth, supported by the people who are his followers. Thus light will never be able to be spread across the whole earth at the end of a period of salvation, instead, only sparks of light will ever flash up but these will radiate such a bright glow that the path people are to take, which will lead them to the goal, will be clearly recognizable. Although you are always given the task to carry the light out into the world, there are only a few light bearers who receive light from God Himself which they can pass on. And there are only a few people who long for light, who want to escape the darkness of spirit …. Yet for the sake of these few God repeatedly radiates the light to earth, and you humans yourselves must decide to accept the light or to continue to remain in the darkness of night. Error has taken root and is very difficult to eradicate, for the adversary influences the human being’s intellect and it predominantly moves in the wrong direction, yet the human being himself is convinced of the correctness of his thinking, and this is the great evil that he does not doubt it and asks inward questions but unwaveringly also tries to transfer his thinking to his fellow human beings. And instead of turning to the eternal truth itself and asking it for clarification he draws his knowledge from sources which God’s adversary also poisoned …. And he is often satisfied with enlightenments of dubious origin because he is unaware of the power and cunning of God’s adversary. And again, the individual’s degree of love is decisive as to how far the human being moves in truth …. But love has grown cold, it only applies to one’s own ego, and therefore it is not the heart but only the intellect which decides when judging knowledge. Nevertheless, the bearers of light should spare no effort to spread the truth so that every person is offered the opportunity to take notice of it and to be able to oppose his own erroneous knowledge. Then the human being should also use his intellect and reflect on the truth conveyed to him, and as soon as he is of good will quiet doubts will arise in him, and then a blessing can arise for him after all. He can accept the light because it gives him inner clarity …. It will be a wrestling match of an incomparable kind which will take place in the last days between the light and the darkness, between the bearers of truth and misguided humanity. And therefore God Himself will guide the light to earth, which truly has great illuminating power but will never prevail where the resistance is still too great. And this will not be broken by force, but just as the adversary has no power over the bearers of light either, but he flees the light which has taken its origin from God. But his great counteraction against truth will be recognizable and increase the closer the end is. Where only one heart is still open, there a ray of light will penetrate, for truly, the turning towards God earns every person a light, only he may no longer extinguish it by not departing from his intellectual thinking when his heart instructs him otherwise. As soon as he is not certain enough of his own wisdom he can already be happy, for only a doubting, questioning person can be taught, whereas a person convinced of his thinking will no longer accept anything else, no matter how much he is in spiritual darkness. But whatever can be done will also be done on God’s part, for only in the light can He Himself be recognised in His nature, and only the pure truth will portray Himself such that people will learn to love Him and strive towards Him. But the fact that the opposing power is so successful and the darkness is becoming ever stronger is due to the will of people themselves, who, because they lack love, are also deprived of all light and love for Him. are also devoid of all light and therefore also grant the adversary power over them, which he truly uses and causes ever more confusion …. Yet people have free will which is not violently broken ….
Amen

Redeeming cooperation in the end times ….
B.D. 8411 from February 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
If you place yourselves at My disposal, if you want to be My co-workers in the last days before the end, you need not fear that you will not be able to cope with this work, for I know where I can use you so that you will be successfully active. Every person’s abilities are different, and depending on this ability I will also assign the work to him, and if he is willing to serve Me he will also succeed in this work …. And since the end time is primarily about bringing light to humanity, I also choose the right bearers of light from among …. People in whom I can kindle a right light and who are now also willing to serve to spread the light …. who, in the light of their realization, know about their fellow human beings’ lightless state and use all their strength to change this state. The emanation of light, the spreading of My word, is a tremendous task because it can and will have a redeeming success, because My word is strength in itself and does not fail to have an effect. Yet this task requires perseverance, strength of will and a loving, helpful heart, it requires constant unity with Me, constant readiness to accept the rays of light from Me, thus relentless spiritual activity which not many people want to do. Yet this work has to be done to Me of one’s own free will, only then will it be successful so that the rays of light penetrate the darkness …. For this free will is determined by love, and only love has a redeeming effect. And to you, My co-workers, I always give the assurance that you will be guided and led, that I will direct your thinking correctly, that I will always provide you with strength and protect you against all hostility, because this work of yours is so urgent and important that I will truly do everything to keep My co-workers active in My will and through whom I Myself can work for the blessing of humanity. You should only entrust yourselves completely to Me, you should carry out your work with utmost confidence and always know that I need you, especially when I could entrust you with an unusual mission on which countless people’s salvation depends. You all don’t know how urgent the supply of pure truth is, because you also don’t know to what extent error has already prevailed and that humanity lives along in entirely wrong ideas …. The world, i.e. the kingdom of My adversary, the prince of darkness, pushes itself everywhere and completely takes possession of people’s thinking …. But My kingdom, which is not of this world, no longer finds access to people, and therefore I must always try to bring it close to them again, My kingdom shall come to people again, and blessed are those who turn to My kingdom, who can gain a true insight into it when the pure truth is conveyed to them. Consider, you My servants on earth, how short the time on earth is and what phantoms people chase after …. But you can enlighten them about this because you have already taken possession of My kingdom yourselves through your bond with Me and the direct influx of My strength, which is the origin of that spiritual kingdom …. Thus you are only the mediators between Me and the people who have not yet found the path to Me. And I make use of you because I cannot speak directly to people, which they deny Me due to their spiritual state …. Yet I love all My living creations and therefore also want to let My gifts of grace flow to them, which is now also happening …. My flow of love inexorably flows to earth, which is well suited to lead people out of the darkness of night into the light of day …. And I will truly bless anyone who helps Me to do so and grant him all protection and help …. For the end time constantly demands work for Me and My kingdom, the end time demands active counter-work to the activity of My adversary who also seeks to strengthen the darkness and, especially in the last days, causes much disaster and confusion which can only be prevented and fought through the pure truth …. My power is certainly greater than his, yet the human being’s free will is decisive, and therefore it shall also be judged correctly through truth. Those people shall attain the light who seriously want it …. And you, who voluntarily work for Me, shall bring this light to them ….
Amen

Every spiritual work has a redemptive effect ….
B.D. 8412 from February 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Time and again I tell you that it is My will to convey My word to people wherever possible …. I have already assured you many times that I Myself direct your thoughts and also guide people to you who are open to My word. And you will feel every order in your heart and willingly comply with it. And again, your willingness determines the extent of your activity, and you need not fear that you will work in vain even if you cannot always ascertain success …. I alone know why and for what purpose I have given you this task to be constantly active in My vineyard, and I also know what great blessings will result from it, on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom. You must never forget that everything you receive, as well as every spiritual activity you carry out, signifies a redemption factor of utmost effect for the kingdom of the beyond …. You must bear in mind that the hardship in the kingdom of the beyond is very great, for the many immature souls which depart from earth urgently need help if they are to take the path of ascent, and this help can only be granted to them through constant instructions which they can accept if they want to and which will then also earn them a great blessing. The work of redemption has to be continued in the beyond if it has remained unsuccessful on earth, and My word also sounds for these souls which are poor in spiritual treasures and first have to be brought onto the right path. And you don’t know what spiritual wealth you offer those souls and how eagerly the light is accepted by them …. You can quench their hunger and thirst because they are allowed to take in everything I offer you and because they can also follow your thoughts and thus every spiritual activity is a source for these souls to refresh themselves. Believe that these souls accept such gifts of grace far more gratefully than people on earth, but that those to whom you convey My word on earth are surrounded by souls again who participate in it, and thus you cannot measure the large circle which benefits from this work of salvation, but I know it, and therefore I also call upon you time and again to diligently work in the vineyard, and I also bless every one of My servants who willingly serve Me, who work for Me and My kingdom. But I will also still open many human hearts, and the circle will also widen on earth, for I will guide you along paths which are still completely unknown to you …. I will establish the strangest connections, I will connect threads which you don’t suspect, for I know human hearts and know who longs for My address and is happy when he can hear it through you. And you will always be considered yourselves as it is helpful for your work of redemption, I will always supply you with the strength you need to be able to fulfil your task. I gave you the task to be diligently active because you can still work unhindered. But the time will come when you will be hindered and you will no longer be able to come forward so openly …. And then My word must already have spread, because then every individual can work in silence, and even if only the souls in the beyond will still benefit from it, there will also already be a gain, for the more souls there find redemption and ascend, the more help can be given again on the part of these souls on earth, for they will be eternally grateful that they have been helped and now want to help those who are in need again …. be it on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond. Therefore, never believe that you are doing unsuccessful work but do whatever lies within your power and I Myself will bless every work ….. And only ever pay attention to your thoughts which move you after heartfelt prayer to Me, and whatever your heart urges you to do, carry it out, and it will be right before Me …. For I still want to win many souls before the end comes, and therefore every helper will also be dear to Me and always experience My protection and My blessing ….
Amen

"Work while it is still day …. "
B.D. 8413 from February 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
It is still daytime when you are in the grace to receive light, for much light flows to you from Me, you who open your eyes and desire light …. But the day draws to a close and is followed by a night of endless duration for those who did not use the light of the day to work on their souls, who did not seek and find the right path in the light, which leads up to the eternal light, where there is no more night …. You are standing in a late hour and are therefore admonished with a loud voice to make good use of the last rays, the last glimmer of light before nightfall, for you can also make up much in a short time if you are only serious about escaping the eternal night. Don’t follow the one who wants to lead you back into deepest darkness again but turn your eyes upwards, to Me, from Whom the light emanates which will make you immeasurably happy, you who want to escape the darkness. But time draws ever closer, the world clock does not stop, and night falls for people who walk along indifferently and do not think of their souls. And what this night means for those you cannot understand, otherwise you would truly do everything to escape it …. The night means for the souls a relapse to the deepest depth, it means renewed dissolution and renewed banishment in solid matter, it means a renewed walk through the creation of the new earth, in torment of the bondage which they had already once lived through and overcome …. But you are warned and admonished again and again, and everything is tried to portray the night to you as black as possible …. However, you do not believe and it cannot be proven to you. But the words are well known to you: ‘Work while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work’. “But you only understand bodily death by this, you do not know that another night is meant, for bodily death need not mean renewed darkness for your soul; after bodily death the soul can also enter into the brightest light, where there is no more night for ever …. So the death of the body need not be feared, for it can also induce immature souls to seek the light in the kingdom of the beyond ….. But the night, which is meant by these words, is to be feared, for it lasts for eternal times and means endless torment for the souls until they slowly reach the height again in order to once more lead an existence as a human being on earth and to be faced with the same decision as the human soul is now facing …. Please listen to My warnings and try to get an idea of this dreadful imprisonment which you can still escape if you are of good will and turn to Me, Whom you are unable to deny upon serious reflection …. Don’t let yourselves be completely taken captive by My adversary but believe that there is a saviour Whom you can call upon for help when you are too weak yourselves …. Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world, Who defeated the adversary and also paid the purchase price for your soul if you yourselves only want to be set free from My adversary …. And hand yourselves over to Him, in Whom I Myself became a human being in order to redeem you from his power, so that you can become blessed again …. Don’t let the night fall upon you which will deprive you of your self-awareness again, for you have already come considerably closer to Me when you start your earthly path as a human being. Don’t let it be in vain, and don’t let him triumph who only wants to ruin you but not prepare beatitudes. Just believe that night will irrevocably fall, for the time has been fulfilled which was granted to the spiritual being for its redemption from the form, and this time will also be kept, as it is intended in My plan of salvation from eternity …. Believe it, that you will feel exceedingly well when you have made use of the light of day and no longer need to fear the night, even when your temporal life has ended …. You will rise to eternal life and never lose this life again, which means light and strength and freedom in bliss ….. Therefore work while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work ….
Amen

The significance of life on earth as a human being ….
B.D. 8414 from February 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Your life as a human being is the last stage in the development of the once fallen entity which is personified as the ‘soul’ within you and which, still enclosed in a physical external shape, can now overcome it and leave this form to enter the spiritual kingdom as a spiritual being. During this earthly existence the last transformation into the original entity can take place again if free will is used correctly, that is, if it consciously strives to return to Me again, Whom it had once left voluntarily …. And this transformation is certainly possible because the human being receives a multitude of blessings and with the right use of these blessings has enough strength available to cast off all impurities and to live wholly within the divine order; that is, to live a life of love through which he can spiritualise soul and body and thus the return to Me is accomplished …. However, the human being can also disregard all the blessings at his disposal and instead of ascending he can return into the abyss; this cannot be prevented because he has free will as a sign of his divine origin …. But then he places himself once again into the dreadful fate of bondage and it will take an infinitely long time until he finally can be released again ….
You do not want to believe how significant earthly existence is for you human beings and are therefore half-hearted in accomplishing your task on earth. But it concerns your own destiny, you yourselves have to bear the consequences, and the fate you prepare for yourselves cannot be taken away from you. You can choose between everlasting happiness and an infinitely long state of torment and you are doing little to acquire the first; instead you rather follow your earthly path indifferently …. And if fellow human beings, who know of the great significance of earthly life, draw your attention to this you listen with disbelief and remain unimpressed but believe them to be fantasists instead of thinking about the reasons for your earthly existence yourselves …. Yet time and again you will be confronted with events which could cause you to think …. Time and again your thoughts are pushed into that direction by means of conversations, the reading of books and your own experiences so that you should become mentally active and ask questions which concern you and your earthly existence.
If only you would believe that human earthly life is a most significant gift of grace which, if you make right use of it, can lead to unimaginable happiness …. if only you would believe that there is meaning and purpose to your earthly life, that you are not ‘chance life forms’ who are not responsible for their earthly progress and cease to exist when the body dies …. It is the soul …. the original spirit which once had fallen away …. who should achieve its final release from all physical external form and human earthly life is the last phase of an endless long process of development ….
You humans are self-aware and you are only ‘self-aware’ because your outer cover incorporates an original spirit who once came forth from Me as a self-aware entity …. Thus, not your body nor your intelligence triggers your consciousness of self but your soul, which is your real life and which ultimately turns the human being into a self-aware being. Without this soul the human being is only a physical outer shape without life, even when all internal organs are present they cannot function without this soul …. The ‘life’ of this outer shape depends on that soul …. an original spirit …. who enlivens the body and enables it to function in all manners ….
You humans should always keep in mind that you live on earth for a specific purpose and should try to find this cause and purpose, then you will also receive explanations in the form of thoughts, which I Myself will send to you in order that you may come to understand it. And thus I will send you My messengers again and again and through these try to make you think, and it will certainly be a blessing for you if you don’t walk through life in ignorance but also use the gift of intelligence. This can result in the right attitude towards your God and Creator and with this you will also find the right knowledge …. Because I truly care that every single human being should use the short time of grace as a human being in the right way and reach his final destination …. that his soul will return to Me again from Whom it once had come forth as created spirit ….
Amen

Knowledge of the plan of salvation …. Working of the adversary ….
B.D. 8415 from February 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
What I have to say to you only concerns your salvation of soul, and if you let yourselves be impressed by it it will only be a blessing for you. And if I give you knowledge of My reign and activity in infinity, of My countless creations which the universe harbours, this knowledge shall also only serve to kindle the love for Me in you which will lead you closer to Me again, through which you will narrow the vast gulf between yourselves and Me …. For you will only learn to understand this knowledge when you have already reached a certain degree of maturity, depending on your degree of love …. Hence your first effort is to proclaim the gospel of love to you, and I will emphasize this time and again when I convey My word to you humans. The dormant spark of love in you shall be kindled if you want to reach the final goal in earthly life, the final union with Me. And I will do everything that only serves to ignite this spark of love in you ….. And this includes turning to the pure truth which reveals to you a true image of Me as your God and creator Who wants to be recognized by you as father. This also includes that you are able to gain a small insight into My eternal plan of salvation, for only when you know about your original beginning and your goal will you also understand My reign and activity, you will be able to explain everything to yourselves and then also seriously strive towards your goal. However, people’s thinking is very confused, especially in the last time before the end …. since people do not fulfil the first conditions for attaining the truth: to kindle love within themselves, which only guarantees right thinking …. And therefore people will also fight each other, each one will hold his own view, no matter how erroneous it may be …. For the battle of darkness against the light will rage ever more fiercely the closer the end is …. And the darkness proceeds with truly satanic means in order to cause confusion, and it requires the most heartfelt bond with Me not to be drawn into this darkness. But again, the light which shines forth from Me has great illuminating power, it spreads an unusual brightness, that is, people who stand in the light of truth are also able to see through My adversary’s work of deception, they already have realization and can easily distinguish pure truth from error and lies …. Thus they need hardly fear being led astray by the adversary’s activity. For as soon as the bond with Me is established you humans can also be certain that I will protect you from error. Yet since every person has free will it is up to him whether his heart or only his intellect searches for the truth, and where intellect is predominant the adversary’s influence is also possible and explainable …. Many people are satisfied with the illusions My adversary presents to them, they are gullible and accept the false as genuine, they cannot be enlightened about the error either because they have not yet kindled the inner light which would give them clarity …. Many people certainly connect themselves with the spirit world, however, since their intellect only establishes this bond they are now also served by that spirit world which is subject to the prince of darkness …. And if the pure truth is presented to these people they reject it because they are so certain of their right thinking and no longer accept any enlightenment. It is truly an eclipsed state in the last days where the light can almost no longer penetrate …. But again, it is only up to people themselves, for as soon as they live a life of love the light of realization shines so brightly in them that no error can hold on any longer and the truth breaks through …. And I will protect My own from My adversary’s influence, My light from above will shine brightly into their hearts and expose everything as erroneous which is offered to them by My adversary …. And time and again I tell you that everyone who earnestly desires the truth will also recognize it and will not allow himself to be disturbed by My adversary’s activity, for he kindles the light within himself and the darkness will no longer be able to frighten him ….
Amen

Difference between the 'working of the spirit' and 'psychic' receptions ….
B.D. 8416 from February 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
You should always bear in mind that the truth is intended to be distributed everywhere, therefore I must convey it to earth in all places, and this is always possible as soon as a person fulfils the requirements which the ‘working of My spirit’ in a person are based on. First, the willingness to be of service to Me has to motivate a person to enter into heartfelt contact with Me, and he will indeed be accepted as a labourer in My vineyard, since he is living a life of love otherwise he would not offer himself to Me as a co-worker. Hence, love is likewise the precondition that I can choose him as a suitable vessel into which My spirit can pour. Another requirement is the strong and living faith that I speak to My child as a Father, when it desires Me to speak …. And a further indispensable prerequisite is that he is permeated with the desire to be taught the absolute truth and that he therefore turns to the Eternal Truth Itself in order to receive it …. Now you will say that you humans are meeting every one of these requirements and that I should therefore be able to give My Word directly to many people …. Consequently, you will also gullibly accept messages from the spiritual world although they cannot be rated as the ‘working of the divine spirit’. For many people have an overwhelming urge to make contact with the supernatural world, and since all of you humans are surrounded by inhabitants of the world beyond, you will surely find it understandable that they will also make use of every opportunity to make contact with you in order to express themselves to you.
It is indeed difficult for you to recognise the difference between such communications from the spirit world and the genuine ‘working of My spirit’ …. Yet the one thing I want you to consider is that I merely want to assist your soul to become perfect on earth …. and that therefore the contents of My imparted spiritual knowledge through the working of the spirit will be the Gospel of love …. furthermore, that you, in order to find redemption on earth from your original sin, need to receive the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation …. about the cause and spiritual reason for His mission …. and about My human manifestation in Him …. And you need to be enlightened by Me about your origin and your goal and about My eternal plan of Salvation, through which I will one day reach the goal I set for Myself when I created you …. This extensive knowledge can only be conveyed to you through the ‘working of My spirit’ in you, and therefore only those people can claim to be true Word-recipients whom I have initiated Myself either directly or through My messengers of light, through perfect beings in the spiritual kingdom which absorb the light ray of My love and forward it on My instruction. And thus everyone believing himself to receive My Word should first seriously question whether he received this knowledge from Me, whether he can state with conviction that he was ‘initiated’ by Me into the truth, into a knowledge which was previously still unknown to him …. The information about My plan of Salvation can only be conveyed to people by Me directly, for anyone who only accepts it intellectually from other people will not understand it, even if it corresponds to the truth, because it requires spiritual enlightenment in order to comprehend it …. And I certainly convey this knowledge to earth in a clear and fully understandable way in all countries on earth, and it will totally concur, because only pure truth can come forth from Me and this will never contradict itself …. And the recipients of such extensive knowledge should do everything in their power and try to distribute it.
And this can always be used as a guideline for proclamations from the supernatural world, for as soon as they fail to impart to people the profound knowledge of My eternal plan of Salvation they do not originate from Me but are expressions of those spirits which are not yet entitled to teach because they are not yet permeated by the light which they should forward on My instructions. It is particularly important to know in which way such messages are conveyed to a person, whether he, in a fully conscious state, mentally or audibly hears clear Words or whether a spiritual being speaks through the mouth of a person in a psychic state, who surrendered his will and is therefore unable to test which spirit takes possession of him. This examination must always be carried out first, for although truthful messages can be received in a psychic state too, such momentous and extensive knowledge which provides complete clarification about My eternal plan of Salvation will never be conveyed to people in this way …. Then partial truths may well be imparted but to the same extent misguided teachings can also slip in, such as the wrong description of the Deity in Jesus, Whose correct portrayal is, however, of utmost importance. And as soon as people are taught wrongly, especially in this respect, they still live in error and every error has a disastrous effect on the human being’s soul. I don’t keep clarifying this time and again for no reason, because Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation and My human manifestation must be fully understood by you humans …. For the purpose of your existence on earth is that you will be free from all guilt when you pass into the kingdom of the beyond. And only if you possess a truthful explanation about this act of Salvation by Jesus Christ will you consciously take the path to the cross, you, who once denied Me your acknowledgement, will consciously acknowledge Me again of your own free will ….
But precisely as long as this problem of My human manifestation is not yet solved by you, you will still live in spiritual darkness …. And if you are now being taught by those in the spiritual realm which are instructed by Me to teach you and to convey My Word to you, then these beings of light will first of all provide this significant knowledge, and thereby you will also recognise the working of My spirit in you …. Then you will not need to be afraid of being used by other spiritual forces, which certainly will also disguise themselves and claim to be your guides and yet do not have the knowledge themselves as to be able to enlighten you. However, you humans don’t know how My adversary influences people as well as the still immature beings in the beyond, and you don’t know that he will try everything in his power in order to undermine the pure truth and to make people believe that they know the truth. Their skilful disguise will cause much harm, because people allow themselves to be used and are far too gullible themselves …. For they lack the right judgment, and they confuse the transmission from the supernatural spheres with the ‘working of My spirit’, which irrefutably grants truth to those who are instructed by Me to spread the truth throughout the world. And you should accept this truth and comply with My will, you should not just be listeners but doers, and then you will no longer need to doubt and question but know that you possess the truth ….
Amen

The soul is imperishable …. State of ego consciousness ….
B.D. 8417 from February 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Consider that there is no more passing away for you, that you will endure for all eternity …. And this thought will make you happy when you know that you will be blissfully happy for all eternity, even though you cannot imagine this bliss …. But it can also be an unbearable thought for you if you had to expect no end of this state in wretchedness because you are imperishable …. That you exist and now also shape your fate is a truth which cannot be disputed …. and even if you cannot provide evidence of it you will not be able to prove the opposite either, and therefore you should also consider the possibility and thus shape your fate accordingly yourselves. You should by no means give in to the hope that everything will end with the death of your body, that you will then return into nothingness, for once you have been emanated by Me as essential strength, this strength cannot disappear again either. But once it returns to Me again as the original source …. And that is why even the wretched state …. when you cause it for yourselves …. cannot last forever, but must one day irrevocably change again into the opposite …. But it is not unimportant how long the being is in this unhappiness, for the being is not insensitive. It was once put out into freedom, light and strength, which therefore means bliss ….. The state of wretchedness is bondage, darkness and powerlessness and therefore a state of unspeakable agony, which the being itself can no longer change when no help is granted to it. My infinite love, however, also belongs to those beings and has mercy on all wretched beings. Time and again it also finds ways and means to loosen the beings’ bondage and to let them receive sparks of light and strength which help the being up out of the deepest darkness, so that once again it will have the opportunity to recognize itself for what it is and then it can voluntarily continue the path of ascent which it has taken with My help. And even if eternities pass by, the being will still exist, even if it is dissolved into countless particles and bound in the works of creation …. Yet no particle is lost, they all gather again and once more enter the state of ego-consciousness which they had lost through their own fault …. So the absence of ego-consciousness does not mean a passing away into nothingness …. but it is only a temporary state of complete powerlessness and lightlessness, which also excludes any recognition of oneself as a being …. Now it is certainly comforting for you humans that even you, who are still completely opposed to Me, will one day be united with Me again and be able to enjoy supreme bliss …. Yet this certainty should not make you lukewarm in your striving or indifferent and irresponsible towards earthly life, for the times of distance from Me are eternities for you during which you condemn yourselves, during which you have to endure a fate which cannot be described to you blackly enough and which you, as human beings, cannot measure in its agony. But you should accept all warnings and admonitions and not lightly reject every thought of it, for precisely during the time of your human existence it is possible for you to strive for the final union with Me, which guarantees supreme bliss for all eternity …. And it is truly not much that you need to do yourselves, for I only require of you a life of unselfish loving activity …. And if you are willing to come close to Me you will also receive the strength to work in love …. Thus you should only direct your will correctly, it should be turned towards Me as your creator, you should only want to recognize your purpose of earthly life and fulfil it …. And then you need never fear that you will still have to live in wretchedness, for My love, which belongs to you for all eternity, only wants to prepare beatitude for you, and therefore you should only give up your former resistance which cannot be broken by force …. You should …. believe whatever teachings you are told about your immortality …. even without proof, and then you will also consciously strive for a blissful life and become again what you were in the beginning …. Beings who are immeasurably blissful in light and power and freedom ….
Amen

Grace of the act of Salvation: fortified will ….
B.D. 8418 from February 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Time and again you need advice, My admonitions and warnings, My instructions, in order to lead that kind of life which results in such maturity of soul that you will be able to enter the kingdom of light. And I will not stop conveying these instructions to you through My Word, I will help you in every way and also steer your destiny of life such that your will can turn around and enter into My will so that you will constantly ascend in your spiritual development. Yet living up to My commandments of love for God and your neighbour always remains paramount …. for then your own thinking will be right and you will always take the right path …. the path to the cross …. It will not be possible for you to completely enter into My will by your own efforts, because your will is weak since it is still determined by My adversary as long as you are not released from him, as long as you are still enslaved by him …. And this fetter can only be severed by Jesus Christ, Who died for your freedom on the cross and thereby also acquired for you the blessings of a reinforced will. Through His crucifixion He redeemed the immense guilt, the consequence of which is your bound and weak will …. If you are therefore released from this guilt the weakness of will is surmounted too, and through Jesus’ redemption you also possess the strength to live your way of life according to My will. Your entire earthly life is at a standstill as long as you have not found the One Who will deliver you from the adversary’s power, as long as you don’t acknowledge Him as the Redeemer of the world, as the Son of God, in Whom I Myself became a human being, and appeal to Him for help, for with this call you acknowledge Me Myself again, to Whom you once denied your acknowledgment and thereby fell into the abyss, into your wretched state. Without Jesus Christ you will never be able to return to Me, without Him your earthly life is futile, for as long as your original sin is not removed from you, you will remain distant from Me, and neither can you be happy, you remain weak and unenlightened beings whose state is painful, because you once originated from Me in light and strength and freedom and lost light, strength and freedom because of your past apostasy from Me ….
As human beings you should express your will again by striving towards Me and your original state, and this will only be possible if your willpower gets strengthened through Jesus Christ’s redemption, if you turn to Him with an appeal for forgiveness of your sin, if you want that He also shed blood for you …. You don’t know how extremely significant your acknowledgment of Jesus and His act of Salvation is for you, for you don’t realise that by calling upon Jesus Christ you call upon Me Myself and you thereby already testify to your will to return to Me, for Jesus and I are One. In Jesus the Eternal Deity manifested Itself for you, My living creations, so that you are able to behold Me since I, as a whole-of- infinity-permeating spirit, could not be visible to you and therefore so completely permeated a form that My created beings were subsequently able to behold Me face to face …. You will never be able to understand this mystery, yet you shall know that you cannot bypass Jesus Christ and understand that time and again I will inform you through My Word that this human manifestation of Mine in Jesus is the greatest evidence of love that your God and Father has given to His living creations, and that faith in ‘God’ can never exclude faith in ‘Jesus’ because I can only be conceivable to you in Jesus. And since I expect your acknowledgement of Me in your earthly life, since this acknowledgement is the purpose and goal of your entire earthly progress generally, you must acknowledge Jesus, Who is the embodied Deity Himself and Who redeemed your original sin in order to facilitate your return to Him …. For this reason nothing is more important than to inform people of this and to admonish them to love, so that they will become enlightened and subsequently also fulfil the purpose of their earthly life …. And in order to make this knowledge in all truth accessible to people I convey My Word to earth directly, for truth is the light which shines into your hearts and which will also accomplish your regeneration into your original nature, for only through truth will you learn to recognise and love Me, only truth will illuminate the path which leads to the cross, and you will find redemption from sin and death ….
Amen

What is meant by "plan of salvation from eternity"? ….
B.D. 8419 from February 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Seek My kingdom and above all seek the truth, because then My kingdom will also come to you …. For only the pure truth shows you the right path which leads into My kingdom, into the kingdom of light, of strength and of bliss. And the pure truth will be conveyed to you according to your degree of maturity, which also determines your receptivity …. Thus the deepest wisdom can be revealed to you if you are able to grasp it as a result of your degree of love or maturity. Yet you will also be delighted by less profound revelations if you are not yet able to grasp everything My love wants to offer you …. But I Myself always share the truth with anyone who seriously desires it, because I do not deny Myself to any of My living creations and …. as Myself the eternal truth …. therefore evaluate your desire as an acknowledgement of Myself, as a desire to also be united with Me …. But you yourselves will always determine the depth of the knowledge flowing to you from Me, and therefore you can also penetrate the deepest secrets if you completely shape yourselves into love, into your original being in which you stood in brightest realization …. You shall also reach this degree again, and then you will also be immeasurably happy, because then nothing will be hidden from you anymore, because then you will also recognize My love, wisdom and might and your love for Me will become ever stronger …. which means immeasurable happiness, both for you as well as for Me, Who desires your love. The knowledge I can already impart to you on earth will always help to kindle your love for Me in you, yet I cannot give you light as long as you are still without love yourselves, for then your spirit is darkened and My rays of light of love cannot break through the darkness against your will …. Knowing your outcome and your goal …. to know about My plan of salvation from eternity, about My being, about My reign and activity, to know about all correlations which concern your being as well as the coming into being of the whole of creation, is already a state of realization, a state where undeniably My ray of love light has hit you …. which has broken through the darkness into which you once plunged yourselves through your resistance against My love …. And even if you derive no earthly benefit from this realization you will nevertheless be happy to know the pure truth, and you will gratefully accept it from My hands and desire to penetrate ever deeper into areas which were previously closed to you. And I will also be able to give you ever deeper explanations which concern My fundamental nature, even though you will never be able to fathom Me …. Yet you will know that My goal is your complete unification with Me, you will know that a constant striving towards Myself also results in constant fulfilment and happiness and that this bliss will never end but that your longing for Me will never cease either …. Concepts which you as a human being cannot grasp as long as you are not yet perfected …. You came forth from Me and are therefore the same in your original substance which I Myself am …. But the ‘created’ must first shape itself into ‘gods’ in free will, thus become My children who can create and work with Me in equal power and will …. And this transformation, this ‘becoming gods’, is the basis of My whole plan of creation, because it requires your own cooperation, your own free will …. This, then, is to be understood by ‘plan of salvation from eternity’, and the knowledge of it is already a sign that this transformation is almost complete …. Yet it is only very rarely possible for a person on earth to gain access to the most profound knowledge, for body and soul must be spiritualized for this, not the slightest resistance may be offered to My illumination, which, however, a body which is not yet completely spiritualized will always do and thus not allow the complete effect of love. Not many people achieve this complete spiritualization of the body at the same time as its soul, and such a state of maturity also results in its departure from this earth, so that the soul, however, receives brightest light, i.e. deepest knowledge of everything when it enters the spiritual kingdom. on its entry into the spiritual kingdom …. (so that) all correlations are clear to it and, as perfected, it is now also flooded by the divine light of love without restriction and can now itself carry out the most blissful activity as a station of strength: to pass on the light and strength to lightless places on earth and also in the kingdom of the beyond. And these souls of light are then active on My behalf because they can spread the full truth since they possess it themselves …. You humans on earth could already receive much of the knowledge with a right life of love, because you unite with Me through loving activity and thus may also receive light again through this union, for I Myself am the light of eternity, and light is realization, light is truthful knowledge which, however, you lack at the beginning of your earthly existence, thus you enter earth in complete darkness but can leave it again in brightest light. Yet you cannot accept true light from people unless it originated from Me and is imparted to you by people. But it is bad for your soul if it feels comfortable in darkness and does not desire true light. Then it will also take the darkness into the kingdom of the beyond, and it can take eternities until a light will shine for it, because even then its will is decisive as to whether it will follow the sparks of light which, through My grace, will also light up again and again, because I will not leave any being in darkness forever …. On earth, however, it can easily enter the circle of light, because time and again I send messengers to every human being who are to give them a light on My behalf, yet it will always depend on the human being’s will itself as to how he attunes himself to the light, to My ray of love, for no human being is forced to enter the circle of light but he must want to escape the darkness himself ….

Only through the work of redemption is "divinisation" possible ….
B.D. 8420 from February 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 88
The fact that you can shape yourselves into My ‘children’ on earth is My eternal plan which will also be carried out, only the duration of this transformation is determined by yourselves. It has become possible through Jesus Christ’s act of salvation, for you can request strength from Him at any time, you can ask for the strengthening of your will at any time. For this is why the man Jesus died on the cross, so that He acquired graces for you without measure and all these graces can accomplish the return to Me. In order to reach the degree of childship to God the being once created by Me had to go through the deepest depths and, by overcoming them until its existence as a human being, reach a degree which it shall now increase in free will until its perfection …. i.e. until it has assumed its original nature again, which I brought forth in all perfection out of My might and My love …. But now My might is no longer the cause of your perfection but your free will has striven for it, and consequently you have become God’s ‘children’ from ‘creatures’, you have shaped yourselves into gods, as this has been My plan from the beginning. And in the only exceedingly short time of earthly life as a human being your free will is tested …. The time of your human existence on earth is but a moment in eternity, and this moment can suffice for you to perfect yourselves, for your transformation back to your original nature to be accomplished, if only you direct your will correctly …. For this is not determined in any way, yet the human being will always be helped to direct it correctly …. My measure of grace is inexhaustible and every person can request and evaluate grace, he is not limited in any way …. But the greatest grace is the redemption through Jesus Christ, which takes away all weakness from him, for to surrender to Him means to be introduced into the kingdom of light by Himself …. the Son of God and redeemer of the world, in Whom I Myself accomplished the work of redemption …. to be introduced into the kingdom of light and bliss. For anyone who hands himself over to Him now also acknowledges Me, and he is forgiven for his original sin which plunged him into the abyss, and at the same time he is provided with the strength to cover the final ascent, to reach the final goal, to accomplish the change back to his original nature, which then is also the attainment of childship to God, the change from My living creation to My child. However, no human being can achieve this transformation on his own, without the help of Jesus Christ, for he is under My adversary’s control as long as he is still burdened by his original sin, and for that long he will not be able to perfect himself either, because My adversary prevents it and does everything in his power to prevent the human being from recognizing Jesus and His act of salvation …. And yet, this is only ever decided by the human being himself through his will, and earthly life is given to him for this purpose because in it he can use his free will again, because My will and My might withdraws and leaves the human being fullest freedom …. But the goal is so exceedingly high and significant, for being a ‘child of God’ guarantees unlimited beatitude, which My might cannot grant to the being which, as ‘created’, has not yet reached the highest degree of perfection. It is your own work which you should and can accomplish because My love assists you, yet always respecting your free will. But love gives you means of grace in abundance, My love does not make any demands on you which would not be possible for you to fulfil ….. My love illuminates you, and the more you open yourselves to this illumination the easier your ascent will be, the more surely you will reach your goal …. For nothing else is required of you but a transformation of your nature, which initially as a human being is strongly self-loving, into right, divine love which is completely unselfish, which only wants to please and give and which the human being therefore has to let flare up in himself in order to achieve the complete transformation of his nature. And it is possible for every human being to practise this unselfish love, thus every human being can attain childship to God, because nothing else is required of him but love …. Once his original sin has been redeemed through Jesus Christ, his selfish love, the sign of his belonging to My adversary, has also been overcome …. He is free from his opponent’s power and will only ever turn to Me in Jesus Christ with love, and this love will clarify and illuminate the soul, this love will grow and completely fill the soul and now the change back is also accomplished and I have reached My goal ….
Amen

Address of God proof of His existence ….
B.D. 8421 from February 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
You can already be called blessed on earth that you are addressed by Me, that you receive My word and thereby come into possession of the pure truth, for at the same time you are given evidence that I am and that you are in closest contact with Me …. You are given the evidence that a power is at work which provides you with spiritual knowledge which you cannot acquire purely intellectually because it touches an area which is unknown and inaccessible to you …. And now you must also conclude that this strength emanates from a being Which knows everything and also wants to convey this knowledge to you, who are completely ignorant …. And then you will also turn your thoughts towards this being you have now recognized and try to fathom It …. And this alone is My intention, that you send questioning thoughts into infinity which I will then also answer, because I don’t want you to remain ignorant but want to let a light shine into the darkness. To hear My address is truly blissful, for you are now also able to believe with conviction in a being Which created you and Which is in constant contact with you if you don’t oppose it yourselves …. For then you would not hear My address or recognize it as the address of your God and creator. But anyone who feels addressed by Me also has evidence of Me, of My love and wisdom, and he can and will also soon reciprocate My love, for the word I impart to you is blessed with My strength, thus it will also have an effect on you and already give you the certainty on earth that you have a father in Me to Whose heart you are well sheltered. What you are required to believe becomes an inner certainty for you because I make Myself known to you through My word …. you can no longer doubt, and yet My word is not a compulsion for you to believe, instead, it can only resound in you when you believe in a God Who created you and now also reveals Himself to you …. And this inner faith is conveyed to you by My spirit, the little spark of love within you, which is My share …. This spirit instructs you from within so that you are able to believe in Me and My existence alive for the time being and now seek to make contact with Me and thus consciously establish this bond with Me …. which happens through prayer, loving activity and heartfelt thoughts of Me …. Then I can express Myself to you through My address …. And then faith will be strengthened in you, it will come alive, you will be aware of the presence of your God and creator, and you will now also not give up this bond …. However, the fact that you do not initially resist the expression of your spiritual spark was achieved by your free will, for you do not need to listen to it either, but then you will never be able to hear the voice of your God and father of eternity either …. otherwise all people would have to believe, but this would not be beneficial for the human being’s soul. Yet I come to meet every person, and he truly only needs to take one step towards Me and I will take hold of him and never let him sink back again …. But this step has to be taken voluntarily, and it will be taken when the human being pays attention to the voice of conscience, to the silent expressions of My spiritual spark, which will only ever have the purpose that the human being acknowledges a God and creator Who also created him …. And no matter how weak this faith in Me may be, it can be strengthened, for soon I will try to make Myself known to him through his experience so that his thoughts will wander to the power Who is in charge of everything …. And his thoughts will truly be guided correctly, and the evidence of My existence will be given to him ever more clearly and prompt his closer bond with Me. But if he stands in the grace of hearing My word …. be it directly or indirectly through My messengers …. then he has also given up all doubts, then he is fully convinced of Me and My presence, and this firm faith is such a tremendous spiritual progress, for now his actions and thoughts will always be guided by Me, he will consult Me in everything he undertakes; he can no longer doubt because he has experienced Me and experiences Me anew every day and every hour. And the fact that he will now also fulfil his earthly task will be achieved by the strength he receives time and again through My word, and he will constantly pursue his goal of establishing the union with Me which will ensure his eternal life in bliss …. For he will not only listen to the word he receives but live it out, and that means to completely enter into My will, to live according to My will, to live a life of love and thus to shape himself entirely into love …. He will fulfil his purpose of earthly life and finally return to Me because he has become perfect again, as he was in the beginning …. because he has now become My child and will remain so for all eternity ….
Amen

Jesus is God ….
B.D. 8422 from February 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Most profound wisdom can be revealed to you once you are receptive to it, and then you will also be able to penetrate knowledge which can only be understood in its complete profundity by an awakened spirit. Yet, if you desire an explanation where you are still not clear in your thinking, I will always help you to understand if you desire the truth. Then I will speak to you such that you can understand Me …. I will address My children with the voice of the Father according to their degree of comprehension: My nature is indeed inscrutable, and even if you steadily keep perfecting yourselves it will nevertheless remain unfathomable to you for all eternity. Nevertheless, you should strive for highest perfection and thereby finally find union with Me …. You should completely enter My nature, you should …. as once emanated sparks of light, merge again with the eternal fire of My love and still remain self-aware beings …. You will never be able to grasp this as long as you live as a human being on earth because your thinking will remain limited during this time, but the said process of fusing with Me can only be explained by the fact that everything of a perfect nature knows no limitation, that the union with Me definitely signifies your complete permeation with My strength of love, but I Myself will eternally remain out of reach for you …. I Am, therefore, close to you and yet you will never be able to reach Me …. For you must not imagine Me as a limited Entity since I Am not bound to time and space. You will never lose your self-awareness again, regardless of how intimately you are united with Me, because you will be totally permeated by Me with My strength …. Yet in infinity you will act as self-aware beings, and precisely that is your bliss. Then you will have attained your deification, the goal I set for Myself when I created you. You will have become My images, you will consist of the same fundamental substance as I Myself and you will be able to create and work in brightest illumination of wisdom, in possession of unlimited strength and with complete freedom of will and let new life arise from within yourselves …. Having become as perfect as your Father in Heaven is, you are miniatures of Me …. Jesus’ soul was also subject to the same law when it …. as a being emanated by Me …. had to undertake its test of will and passed it, thus it remained with Me when the host of originally created spirits fell away from Me ….
This Being was so devoted to Me in love that It voluntarily offered Itself for the mission on earth to suffer for Its fallen brothers and to die as a human being in order to redeem the latter and bring My children back to Me …. Jesus accomplished this unique act, which no person has ever achieved before and will never be able to achieve afterwards either: to completely unite with Me on earth already, to manage the complete spiritualisation of soul and body so that the whole Being could be totally permeated, which was distinctly demonstrated by His ascension …. I was able to manifest Myself in Him, that is, I Myself, the Eternal Deity, the all pervading and penetrating strength, could never be personified …. However, I was able to completely permeate a form and nothing human remained in this form, even the external shell had become spirit of My spirit. The soul completely merged with Me and, in the true sense of the Word, ‘Jesus’ became ‘God’ …. His will, His thoughts, His actions were My will, My thoughts and My actions …. Two beings could no longer be spoken of …. It was an absolute union with Me, Jesus was, is and will remain for all My created beings the visible God …. The self-aware Jesus-soul returned to its original state of being, for it was the same emanated strength of love which merely united itself with the elementary power and thus completely merged with it, so that one can only speak of the Elementary Power …. of God Himself, the all-pervading Spirit, when Jesus is spoken of …. His Jesus-soul did not return as a perfect spirit from earth, instead it completely handed itself over to the Eternal Deity while it was still on earth, it abandoned itself for the sake of the greatest mystery: the human manifestation of God and His becoming visible for all beings which once had emerged from Him …. God and Jesus are one and the same, Jesus is not a second self-aware being but through His life on earth He attained the highest and final goal: complete fusion with Me, so that only My will and My thinking govern the Being Which controls and governs the spiritual kingdom as a visible God …. However, you humans will only be able to understand that when no limited concept exists for you anymore; and even then My nature will be, and remain, inscrutable, nevertheless you will be permitted to behold your God and Creator …. the most perfect Being in infinity …. face to face, and then you will know that apart from Him, Who became visible to you in Jesus, no other God exists …. And you will come aglow with burning love and forever strive towards Him, and He will return your love and make you abundantly happy …. For My love knows no limitation, nor will your beatitude be limited, instead it will last forever ….
Amen

Unkindness causes lightlessness and transformation of the earth ….
B.D. 8423 from February 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
Don’t be shocked by apparent contradictions, for what I give you is pure truth, it can only be difficult for you to grasp at times because spiritual truths cannot be understood with the intellect but only with the spirit. And as soon as your degree of maturity increases, your spirit will also become more and more enlightened and you will be receptive to deeper knowledge. Therefore try to attain this increased degree of maturity, for you will always be able to do so, because this only necessitates increased activity of love, as a result of which contact with Me will take place ever more often and I Myself will then also be able to directly influence your spirit through My presence. The fact that the number of the spiritually awakened is only small compared to those who live in spiritual darkness need not surprise you, for precisely the activity of love is extremely neglected; every person thinks of himself first, self-love is unusually great and compassion for the neighbour, for his hardship and suffering, is almost completely stifled …. And selfish love can never awaken the spirit within itself, however, it is always welcome to the adversary who sees his advantage in the darkness of spirit and also uses it for himself, who will constantly fuel selfish love and prevent people from being unselfishly active. And this is why error is so widespread that it is almost impossible to convey the pure truth to people because they don’t recognize it and therefore don’t want to accept it either. And even if I give you the order to let the light radiate which I Myself have kindled in you, this light will nevertheless only break through again where the working of love is not switched off, where self-love is fought against …. Brightest light could shine everywhere if people would fulfil My will, if they would observe My commandments of love, for this light is guaranteed through a life of love alone, and people would brightly and clearly recognize their earthly task and also comply with it. But it is the human being’s free will how he attunes himself to My commandments of love, how he attunes himself to Me Myself and My will. And this free will is also the reason for the great work of transformation which concerns the earth, for since love constantly decreases there is no longer any ascending development for people, and the present earth fails in its purpose and therefore has to be totally transformed in order to release the spiritual substances still bound in the works of creation for this upward course of development ….. whereby people, who thus failed in their earthly life, fall back again through their own fault into a state which had long since been considered overcome for the soul …. but free will itself decides this fate, for free will could also turn towards the light but has chosen darkness …. and the being’s will is also complied with …. In what bright light would you be able to walk and explain everything to yourselves which you see, which surrounds you as a work of creation, and how happy would you be that the secrets would be revealed to you and you would learn to recognize your God and father Himself in His nature, in His love, wisdom and might ….? Then you would also overcome every gulf which still separates you, because love is the bridge to Me and love is also the prerequisite for the bright spiritual state, for the light in which you may walk. But instead you flee the light, you feel comfortable in the darkness and don’t dispel it but are rather willing to extinguish even the light which can only dimly shine for you, for as long as you yourselves are unloving you are still under the power of the prince of darkness, yet you don’t recognize his activity and follow him, whatever he demands of you. He will always reinforce your selfish love and therefore the transformation into love cannot take place, just as the enlightenment of your spiritual state is not possible where love is missing. Conversely, however, it is possible for a loving person to make himself suitable for the reception of deepest spiritual knowledge. For the bond with the spiritual spark in the human being with the father-spirit of eternity is established through love, and then I can let My divine light of love radiate into a person in all abundance, and the spirit will then express itself in him and inform him of knowledge which the intellect can never fathom. And the higher the degree of love the deeper the human being will penetrate into areas which are closed to the intellect, and much will be revealed to him which only I Myself can ever convey to people, Who is the eternal truth and also reserves the distribution of truth for Myself, because I know people’s hearts and also know who is mature for spiritual wealth which is everlasting, who works with it according to My will and who therefore serves Me as a bearer of light in the time of the end when the earth is shrouded in dense darkness …. For only light can enliven, but darkness is and remains a state of wretchedness which only the human being’s own will can change ….
Amen

Condition for receiving truth: to give up knowledge of mind ….
B.D. 8424 from February 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 88
The will to know the real truth is the only decisive factor as to whether the human being comes into possession of it. But as long as he resists it himself, as long as he is not willing to give up his existing knowledge, of which it is not proven to him whether it is pure truth, he makes himself unfit to receive pure truth, for this requires a completely empty vessel, because truth cannot exist next to error. It is therefore difficult to convey knowledge to a person whose heart is already filled with spiritual knowledge which he has gained intellectually or which he accepted without examining its origin. Nevertheless, the attempt can and should be made to also convey the pure truth to those who can also appeal to the intellect if the person is of good will. For I want to help everyone to become free from error, which, however, cannot happen compulsorily but requires the human being’s free will insofar as that he takes notice of the spiritual knowledge offered to him without resistance. Then it is up to him what he wants to accept or reject from it …. Time and again I emphasize that the earth is a dark area which is only illuminated by weak rays of light, and that people themselves have to move into the area of these rays of light in order to feel them beneficially …. Yet how many people believe themselves to be in right thinking, and they now represent their own thought system to fellow human beings and thus carry ever more error amongst people …. Yet every human being can err, and this certainty should therefore also always give rise to doubts about one’s own intellectual acuity, for every such doubt has a beneficial effect, because then there is still the possibility of being able to be enlightened, which is no longer possible towards a fully convinced person, for he closes himself off to the pure truth. This alone should make people think about the fact that there are so many different schools of thought which deviate from each other that no representative of these can provide evidence for the correctness of them …. but that there must be one truth …. and that this can only be received from the eternal truth itself ….. And whoever takes the path directly to it is also guaranteed to arrive at the truth. If a person receives knowledge directly from above …. i.e. that it is imparted to the spiritual spark in the human being by the eternal father-spirit …. then no counter-evidence can be produced for this knowledge, and the truth-desiring person’s intellect will not be able to oppose it either, because everything is justified in such a way that it gives light and no longer allows darkness to exist. However, the correct recognition of truth always requires ‘freeing oneself’ from intellectually gained spiritual knowledge, because God’s adversary can work as long as God Himself has not been approached for the truth, and the former’s activity always consists of confusing the human being’s thinking because he fights against all truth, since he only remains unrecognized in darkness …. And thus it is up to you humans yourselves how far you move in truth. Everything is offered to you and you yourselves have to decide what you want to accept or reject …. And the right decision can only be made when you no longer think and judge on your own authority but entrust your thinking to God so that He will guide you into the right realization. And this request must be made in spirit and in truth, you may not pretend to be truth-loving or truth-desiring as long as you are not willing to surrender what you have acquired in spiritual knowledge ….. For only the eternal truth itself lets you receive spiritual knowledge which completely corresponds to the truth, and if you already possess a few grains of truth beforehand, these will certainly remain with you or be returned to you …. But your willingness to empty your hearts to receive divine-spiritual thought material will be rewarded by the eternal truth itself letting the spirit flow into you, which can convey nothing but pure truth to you …. But who also accepts those teachings? …. Who does what he is asked to do? …. Each one thinks himself wise and prudent and sometimes represents the greatest error as truth …. And he tries to transfer this to his fellow human beings who gullibly accept his knowledge again. And the darkness grows ever stronger and even the flashing sparks of light are not noticed, for anyone who desires light must strive towards the light …. Anyone who desires truth must strive towards the eternal truth, then it will not be denied to him, then the eternal light itself will shine down to earth and illuminate the human being’s heart who has established the bond with Him, who acknowledges God as the being Which alone can distribute the truth and Who will also do so, so that light will shine on earth and people will recognize the right path in the light of truth which leads to Him, from Whom the human being Himself once originated ….
Amen
