Dead knowledge …. Awakening the spirit ….
B.D. 8497 from May 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
It is the spirit that makes alive …. You can use many words that your mind forms, and yet they can be and remain dead words unless the spirit is awakened within you and gives them real life …. Understand it, you let your intellect predominate; you seek to fathom everything with the intellect, and you neglect the most important thing, to first bring the spirit to awakening in you, which will then rightly direct all your thoughts and intellect activity, so that you also reach the right understanding of that, which remains incomprehensible for you without this spiritual help. But the spirit is divine part; it certainly slumbers in you, but can only develop when you yourselves move in divine order, i.e. make the principle of love your own. Thus right, truthful intellectual activity is dependent on your inner nature, on your attitude towards love …. You will not be able to deny this fact, that only a life of love ever guarantees you right thinking, that only a life of love also lets the words come alive which you speak, that they then are not just mere form but are valued as spiritual property of meaning …. provided that they are not purely worldly matters but enlightenments which reach into spiritual territory. Because even if a man makes this area to the content of his speeches, he will not be able to give much to fellowman, as long as he himself is still unawakened spirit, because then also all his words are empty and dead, because it is only the spirit, which makes them alive. And again, deeper conversations about spiritual knowledge will also only be held where love is unmistakable, because people without love choose no such content for their conversations …. since these are only filled with the world and therefore no living knowledge can be expected from these. Or speeches are held about it only for professional reasons …. and then they will always remain only dead words without spirit and life. To get from this level to the pure spiritual level is difficult but not impossible …. Who is still too much attached to the world, he can also be led by strokes of fate of the most different kind or other experiences to go into himself and to think seriously. And then already he can listen to the voice of conscience, to the voice of the spirit in him, and now think more seriously. And when his heart is not completely hardened, he will also start to become active in love, and then he penetrates deeper and deeper, and the knowledge, which he had taken in intellectually before, becomes alive in him, what love alone achieves. As long as now also the book of books, which contains divine wisdom, is only read with the intellect and the heart is not yet involved in it, it will also only remain a dead knowledge, because before love does not awaken his spirit, he only reads the letter and does not understand its spiritual meaning …. And such teachers are not qualified to instruct their fellow human beings, for then they cannot speak alive, they only pass on learned knowledge without meaning and life …. And again the fellow human being’s state is decisive, to what extent the knowledge is comprehensible to him, i.e., to what extent he takes care of the divine commandments of love …. He will come to understanding when his spirit can instruct him himself, because he lives out love …. Then the word can be offered to him no matter how incomprehensible, everything is bright and clear to him, because he is introduced from the inside what love brings about in him. And only such men should provide a teaching service, who have prepared themselves so that the spirit out of God can work in them, and these are then also called to be active as servants of God. But anyone who calls himself to be without an awakened spirit will hardly be able to work in the vineyard of the Lord, for then he will only be worldly active, even if he puts a spiritual cloak around his profession, he will remain a servant of the world because he will not be able to lead people to where the actual goal is …. because his sermons are dead and help no-one to come to life, for the human being must attain life from within, and this is only possible through a life of love, through which the spiritual spark in the human being makes contact with the Father-Spirit of eternity and then a maturing of the soul is also possible in earthly life …. for the spirit from God addresses the soul, not the intellect …. But this will then also accept everything what the spirit out of God imparts to the soul ….
Amen

God reveals His nature through His speeches ….
B.D. 8498 from May 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
Even though you will not be able to fathom Me and My nature for all eternity, you shall still be given a clear picture of your God and Creator, and you shall not be left thinking wrongly. You are to know that I am the highest and most perfect Being, Which cannot be eternally attained in Its perfection, but Which you are nevertheless to strive for, because you once emerged from Him in all perfection as His images and are also to become so again. And your bliss consists of the fact that you ceaselessly strive towards Me, and this bliss has no end because the striving towards Me will also never stop, for in the state of perfection everything is unlimited, both for Me as well as for you …. You will also not be able to grasp the term ‘perfection’, exactly because your thinking is still limited as long as you stay on earth. And the more imperfect you now still are according to your nature, the less you are able to grasp Me Myself and My nature, and then it is also easy that My adversary gives you a distorted image of me, that I am portrayed as a most imperfect being, which has ungodly qualities about it, like judicial mercilessness and unkindness …. which eternally condemns …. and ignoble feelings, like vengefulness and eternal punishments for offences, which I never condemn …. (vindictiveness that retaliates for offenses I never condemn), but in love am always ready to help you …. My adversary seeks to portray Me to you as an imperfect being so that you will deny Me love …. And this distorted image of Me I want to uncover to you again and again as work of lies of My opponent and enlighten you so far that you can recognize in Me a God of love, wisdom and power, that you are able to recognize a perfect being, to whom you can give your love, for which I long, because you are children of My love, who will no longer lose My love eternally, even if they turn away from Me in free will. For a being which is perfect cannot hate and condemn, It will only ever endeavour to help Its creature out of the state of imperfection so that it can unite with It again for eternity …. And therefore I reveal to you a clear picture of Me, of My all-fulfilling strength of love, which became active in wisdom and also created you …. I reveal to you the goal I set Myself when creating all beings and also the plan of salvation which leads to the deification of beings …. I substantiate everything for you so that you can truly recognize My love, wisdom and might, for as soon as all this is presented to you in truth the light of realisation shines for you again, albeit still to a small degree, and you begin to recognize yourselves as My creations called into being by Me …. The truth will also kindle the small spark of love in you, and then you will penetrate ever deeper, you will know that you are on the path of return to Me, from Whom you once voluntarily distanced yourselves and thereby completely reversed your perfect nature and became imperfect …. But what is to unite with Me again must be perfect, and it must voluntarily enter into My will, against which it once violated …. But as soon as it has recognized My nature, which is love, wisdom and power in itself …. it will also voluntarily submit to My will again …. And therefore I reveal My nature to it, which again can only happen through My address, through My word, which I convey to people and which will also give bright light to the one who accepts My address. For I alone can convey pure truth to earth, I alone am the light Which wants to shine into your hearts …. I alone am the love, which does not want to let you get lost …. I am wisdom Who knows all ways and means to guide you to the light, and I also have the power to snatch you from My adversary’s hands if you yourselves offer Me no resistance …. However, everything is determined by your free will …. And this will only then be turned towards Me when you recognize Me as a supremely perfect being Whom you can love …. And this requires that you live in truth, that you become free from erroneous thoughts, from spiritual knowledge which My adversary had brought to you in order to prevent you from taking the path to Me …. And that is why I speak to you Myself from above, I guide My word down to earth, so that you can become free from erroneous spiritual material, which prevents you to recognize Me right, who loves you as most perfect and wants to draw you to Me eternally ….
Amen

The audible Word requires a high degree of maturity ….
B.D. 8499 from May 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
A person’s greatest spiritual achievement during his life on earth is to hear God’s voice within himself, for it is evidence that the divine order has been restored, the state the original being was in when it was created and in direct contact with its God and Creator, so that the being was able to hear His voice within itself …. However, as long as this being is still living on earth as a human being it should also improve its degree of perfection such that it will be able to audibly hear this divine voice within itself, for this requires a high degree of maturity which only few people reach on earth. Even so, the mental transmission of God’s Word is proof of a person’s diligent striving for maturity of soul, that he has established the bond with his God and Creator and thereby is capable of hearing the divine address …. The being’s original state was a state of perfection which the being itself reversed into the opposite …. Hence the being lost the ability to hear God’s voice by which the Supreme Being communicated with His living creation in the beginning …. And for as long as the being heard God’s voice it was also abundantly happy …. because it was illuminated, it was aware of everything, it recognised itself as the living creation of a supremely perfect Being, and it was blissfully happy in this realisation …. When it lost the ability to hear His voice it also lost all realisation, it distanced itself ever further from God and lost all knowledge of itself, because it lost its self-awareness when, for the purpose of returning back to God, it was disintegrated and reshaped into manifold creations. All this is not known to the human being when he enters the earth as the last stage of his path of return to God …. But the knowledge can be conveyed to him, and this happens through inner communication, through his spirit, which, as part of God, is in contact with the eternal Father-Spirit, and which can inform the person from within as to what he originally was, what he is now and what he is supposed to become again …. And this inner instruction comes to him in the shape of thoughts as long as he hasn’t attained the maturity of soul which is required to hear the divine Word.
However, the fact that he is allowed to gain this realisation at all, that it is conveyed to him through the working of the spirit within the human being, is such a tremendous gift of grace from God which should spur him to attain ever higher maturity and will also enable him to receive messages directly from God. The human being can mentally be introduced to the truth, to the correct realisation of all that which otherwise would remain hidden to him …. His thoughts can be guided such that they will come close to the truth and that the person will also be convinced that his thinking is correct …. But he can also be directly addressed by God if he has to fulfil a mission again: to convey the true information to his fellow human beings who lack spiritual knowledge …. Then the Word will sound audibly in him once more as it was in the beginning, he will be able to communicate with his God and Creator, he will be able to ask him questions and he will receive a reply and he, as well as his fellow human beings, will no longer live in darkness, a bright light will be kindled in them which will brightly illuminate the night in which all once fallen spiritual beings still live if they have not yet established an intimate contact with the eternal Source of light …. You all ought to know that you were once able to communicate directly with your God and Creator, you ought to know that you will always be able to restore the state to ask Him and receive an answer, but that it depends on you as to whether you shape yourselves such that you become worthy of direct communication from God, for you must enter the law of eternal order again which you once voluntarily left …. you must let the principle of love become dominant in you and through love you will unite with the One Who is Eternal Love Itself …. Once you are united with Him you will also hear Him, for His love is so profound that He constantly wants to please His living creations with His communication …. But then the return to Him will be assured, for the human being’s desire to return to the Father’s house which he once left of his own volition will become increasingly stronger, and His Word will be so powerful that the person or his soul will be unable to evade its influence …. And it will attain ever greater perfection until it has regained its fundamental nature again, until it becomes that which it once was in the beginning …. an abundantly blissful being which will praise and extol God for all eternity ….
Amen

The predetermined day of the end will be kept ….
B.D. 8500 from May 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
The day is not far away that My wisdom predetermined in order to cause a transformation on earth which merely serves a worldly inclined human race as a dwelling place but is no longer used as a spiritual place of education …. The day is not far away when My will shall implement an act which aims to achieve the complete transformation of the external shape of the creation work earth, which signifies the destruction of all life in, on and above the earth as well as all existing works of creation …. For My plan of Salvation has been determined for eternity and the time will be kept which I, in My wisdom, recognised to be necessary in order to create new maturing opportunities for the spiritual beings …. And you humans will not be able to persuade Me to abandon this plan or to grant you more time, for I know and have known for eternity humanity’s spiritual state at this point in time, which is precisely the reason why a complete change is needed, a renewed transformation of all spiritual beings which are on the path of return to Me …. Consequently, My predictions that you should not count on a long time ought to be taken literally …. that you should not transfer the announced end to the future, for one day even the future will become the present, and this time has arrived. Moreover, you humans can see for yourselves by all the happenings in the world and around yourselves that people’s spiritual low level can almost not be surpassed anymore, and therein you will also have to recognise the reason for a near end, for everything has become disorderly, the development of the spiritual beings has come to a standstill if it is not regressing ….
Hence you are living in false hope if you humans believe that you can win Me over through prayer, even if I keep telling you that prayers have great strength …. But what you pray for is only ever a selfish prayer, because you are not prepared to surrender your earthly life, and therefore you only pray that I should preserve the earth so that you will not have to fall prey to the end as well …. Your prayer should only concern your fellow human beings’ state of soul, you should only take care of your spiritual maturing and pray for each other and not appeal to Me for abandoning a final destruction, for this is needed for the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creation which, just like you, are entitled to ascend so that one day they will also be permitted become a human shell. But people forfeit their own right to be embodied on earth because they no longer take even one step upwards but are more inclined to strive towards the abyss again. A prolonged existence on this earth would be of no benefit whatsoever for these souls, instead they would even sink lower still, and they shall be prevented to do so …. which happens through a new banishment …. so that they will be wrested away from My adversary again, who had too much control over them as human beings in earthly life. You humans should only pray on behalf of each other that the souls will still release themselves from his control before the end …. Such a prayer of loving intercession for one of your fellow human beings will also reach My ear and be granted …. yet you will not succeed in trying to persuade Me to change My plan of eternity, after all, I know what is beneficial for all My living creations and what will help them to progress.
Therefore, anyone who wants to work for Me in My vineyard should take into account that the imminent end is a fact and thus be appropriately active on earth by preaching love and by also drawing all people’s attention to the proclaimer of this divine teaching of love, to Jesus Christ, so that they will take the path to Him and under His cross and become redeemed from sin and death when the end has come …. Then they will either enter the kingdom of light or be placed onto the new earth where they will be assured of a paradisiacal stay which is already comparable to entering the kingdom of light, because people will have passed their test of earthly life and be free from guilt. And in order that many people will still reach this goal I continue to address them time and again through you, My messengers on earth, who receive My Word directly and pass it on to wherever it will be faithfully accepted. And this speech will not cease until the end, for I know who is suited to hear My Word, who allows My ray of love to flow into his heart and also makes correct use of it. And they will testify time and again that the end is not far away, they will never cease to mention My plan of Salvation and constantly refer to Jesus Christ and His act Salvation …. Time after time I will also emphasise His great significance and refer people to Him, Who alone can deliver them from the fall into the deepest abyss. And anyone who is able to believe in an end will not fear it either, for his faith has come alive through love and a person who lives in love will always also have the strength to defy all onslaughts which will still confront him in the last days …. For love itself is strength, because love connects the human being with Me, the Eternal Love, and thus constant strength flows to him from Me. And truly, none of you need to fear the end if only you would make the effort to live a life of love …. Humanity, however, is lacking love and is therefore descending ever deeper and thus causing the end itself …. as I recognised for eternity and therefore My plan of Salvation will be implemented, as it was proclaimed in Word and Scripture ….
Amen

Time indication …. (Continuation of no. 8500)
B.D. 8501 from May 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
You will never receive any indication in regards to time, because it would only have a damaging effect on your soul if you exactly knew when a prediction will take place. You should certainly take notice of it because I want you to prepare yourselves, because I want to admonish and caution you …. admonish, so that you will eagerly work at improving your soul and caution, so that you will not become complacent, which you will bitterly regret one day. This is why I inform you of future happenings and indeed pointed forthcoming events out to people since the beginning of this period of salvation, for the idea of approaching them shortly should encourage you to live in accordance with My will and thus fulfil your purpose of earthly life …. Yet the time when you should expect the announced events has never been specified, and this made you become half-hearted regarding these predictions …. You always assume that My predictions will fulfil themselves in the distant future …. But you fail to consider that time passes constantly, that you draw ever closer to this future and that one day even the ‘future’ becomes the ‘present’ …. Thus I once again predict to you that the end of this earth, the end of a period of Salvation, is soon to come. And I keep referring to it with increasing urgency because it seems incredible to you that you should live in this end time …. Once again I don’t give you the precise time and will not do so until the end as not to compel your will ….
Yet I one thing I will tell you, you don’t have much time left, very soon the time will come when all My predictions will fulfil themselves and you should not rely on the fact that one day is like a thousand years to Me …. Even a thousand years eventually pass by, and thus even the period of Salvation in which you live will come to its end one day, for sooner or later a new period will have to start if only for the sake of the bound spiritual substances in the works of creation which shall continue their development …. And again I only say, you are on the verge of it …. But time and again I repeat these Words with such urgency that you should nevertheless start to think …. Time and again I try to attract labourers during the last days before the end because I urgently need them in view of the forthcoming event, I convey remarkable knowledge to you humans so that you learn to understand My predictions, so that you know the reasons on which My proclamations are based …. I do this because the end is very near and because you ought to believe that My Words will fulfil themselves …. Yet even now I cannot specify the time since I don’t want to throw you into incalculable chaos …. For the knowledge of the precise day and hour would throw you into dreadful confusion but no longer result in any kind of maturity. I can only repeatedly and ever more urgently draw your attention to the fact that you must take the fulfilment of all predictions into account, that you should not rely on the fact that you yourselves will not experience them anymore ….
No-one knows the hour of his death and neither will anyone know as to whether he will be taken by surprise by the announced end, by the immense work of destruction and its predecessor, the unexpected natural disaster, and whether he will have to live through everything that happens in the last days, for I keep telling you: You are on the verge of it, you don’t have much time left and every day and every hour must take into account that I will extraordinarily manifest Myself through the elements of nature, and then you will also know that the end is no longer far away …. Therefore you should live in accordance with My will …. It will enable you to approach all events without fear …. You should only unite yourselves with Me through deeds of love, prayer and frequents thoughts and truly, your souls will not be harmed even if I prematurely call you back …. But I will also physically protect you if it is My will that you shall still serve Me until the end …. Yet never expect Me to disclose a time to you, for it would not be of any benefit whatsoever for you, who serve Me, nor for your fellow human beings whose state of maturity is even less suitable for such knowledge. Yet whatever knowledge you can possibly impart to your fellow human beings about the forthcoming events, about My eternal plan of Salvation and the Father’s infinite love Who wants to save all His children before the end …. should be done by you, and thus you still carry out fruitful vineyard work for Me until the end …. For every soul which still finds deliverance is a gain for Me for which I will truly reward you ….
Amen

Distribution …. (Continuation of nos. 8500 and 8501)
B.D. 8502 from May 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
And wherever the opportunity presents itself to inform your fellow human beings about the forthcoming end and all preceding events you should speak up, so that no-one can use the excuse not to have heard anything about it. For I really still want to do whatever it takes to give people a small light yet, and thus I will also bring you into contact with those where there is still a small glimmer of hope that they will react by thinking about it and then observing for themselves what is happening around them. I try to direct all people’s thought such that they, for once, would like know what they can still expect, if not in this life then in another, to which their thoughts will therefore be directed. The life which people presently live with purely earthly directed thoughts is by no means healthy for their souls, for the soul is meant to rise above all matter during its earthly life. But if the human being ties himself to matter it will signify for the soul a state of hardship, a state of hunger and of hopelessness of attaining its goal …. And this is why people’s attention shall be drawn to the transience of all worldly things and, with good will, they can still utilise the short time by acquiring something of permanence for themselves even if the earthly body will cease to exist …. all I aim to achieve by constantly announcing the forthcoming end is that they will give account to themselves about the state of their souls, if they at all believe in a continuation of life after death …. Yet this very faith is missing, which is the reason for the enormous spiritual adversity during these last days. But don’t let it put you off informing your fellow human beings again and again of what you were allowed to hear from Me …. You shall talk about the working of the spirit within yourselves as well as the contents of what is conveyed to you as My Word ….
Tell them that they are in great danger of going astray for an infinitely long time if they don’t diligently use the short time until the end in order to change their nature into love which, during the last days, does not show much love at all …. Tell them that they still have to take the path to Jesus before their death, that they have to carry their guilt under His cross and appeal to Him for forgiveness …. And you have to teach them the most important commandments: the commandments of love for God and one’s neighbour …. on the fulfilment of which depends their state of soul on earth already and later in the spiritual kingdom …. You must pass on everything you hear from Me directly, always in relation to your fellow human beings’ state of soul, so that they learn to understand it and also direct their thoughts to Me, Who will always help them if they pray for help. I convey this knowledge to earth so that people will have an explanation, even for what still lies ahead of them and what I constantly announce, so that they will not be taken by surprise by the events, which will come without fail as I have always and forever proclaimed. For I still want to give everyone the opportunity to prepare themselves in order to then await the end without fear, which only needs to be dreaded by those who, as completely obstinate followers of My adversary, will be banished once more into the creations of the new earth.
Detach yourselves from earthly matter so that it will not become your shell again from which you no longer can free yourselves without help …. Believe that the end will come in not too long a time, for the low level has been reached, no spiritual change is possible on this earth anymore …. Only a total transformation of earth can also achieve a spiritual change, and in order for you to be permitted to experience this change on the new earth you must strive for a heartfelt bond with Me, so that I can count you to My Own who will remain faithful to Me even in the harshest battle of faith which is yet to be waged against you by My adversary …. so that you will receive strength from Me and persevere to the end …. And you will be able to enter a realm of peace and beatitude …. You will be allowed to populate the new earth where you will receive the reward for you steadfastness when you have to confess Me before the world …. Then you will have prevailed over this world and you will never need to fear My adversary again, for he, together with his followers, will be bound for a long time again ….
Amen

God requires a living faith ….
B.D. 8503 from May 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
Only ever believe in Me with a living faith, that is, don’t be satisfied with words or other people’s assurances but closely unite with Me in thought and speak to Me like a child speaks to its father, plainly and simply and full of childlike trust; always let Me walk beside you as your friend and brother, and tell Me everything that inwardly bothers you, always appealing for My assistance to help you reach perfection while you are still on earth. You should no longer lead a single life, you should always request My presence and feel it too, for every sincere thought draws Me to yourselves, and if you establish this bond with Me yourselves then strength will always flow to you as well, which you can use for deeds of love again …. thus through love you join with Me ever more closely. Hence anyone who does not exclude his God and Creator from his thoughts is also daily and hourly under His Fatherly care, and his earthly life will always proceed such that it will benefit his soul …. For anyone connected with Me in thought already leads a spiritual life, and his soul will constantly ascend ….
But how many people spend their lives without considering their God and Creator, they only ever entertain earthly thoughts and just anxiously worry about their physical wellbeing …. And although they call themselves Christians because they belong to a religious organisation they only occasionally establish a relationship with Me, and this is not sufficiently alive in order to generate spiritual achievement …. Much has become a formality which, however, is only of value if it is carried out with a living faith, just as prayer is not what it should be …. a child’s heartfelt dialogue with the Father; instead people are satisfied with empty words which don’t come from the heart and are merely voiced by the mouth.
I, however, Am a living God, everything has to be truthful before Me, and therefore I want a living contact established by you with Me, but this also guarantees higher development and leads the soul to the goal. For would I leave a child or consider it poorly, be it spiritually or even earthly, once it has made heartfelt contact with Me, to whom I Am truly the Father it can unreservedly trust? But where this intimate bond is missing there still exists a broad gulf, the human being looks for Me in the distance, he speaks of Me as a Being Which is unattainable to him and Which he indeed acknowledges because of Its might which he cannot deny in view of the creations, who also admits to Its wisdom which is demonstrated to him through the creations, but who does not know anything about the love of a God Who wants to be a Father to all living creations because he has not spent serious thought on the Being Who had brought him into existence. And as long as I Am merely the distant God for people they will live their earthly life without spiritual achievements, for they lack the flow of strength to travel the path of ascent which, however, requires the living creation’s heartfelt connection to Me in order to enlighten him.
This is why every human being will achieve his goal if he is able to establish this close relationship with Me, if he expresses a living faith in Me through a constant desire for My presence …. And such desire will be granted by Me, and forthwith the person will no longer walk any path alone, I will always guide him, I will always direct his thoughts, and because I no longer meet any resistance the person will also completely enter into My will and improve himself ever more. Where I have found the entrance into a human being’s heart My adversary will have lost his power, albeit he will still try everything to win him over for himself again, but My strength, which the human being constantly receives due to My presence, will resist him.
Just let your soul come to life, which will always happen when I can take effect on it Myself, when I can illuminate it with My strength of love, and you always enable Me to do this through a heartfelt bond with Me …. Then you will ask for Me, and the danger will have passed that the adversary can take possession of you, who will take flight from Me and is unable to besiege you so long as I Am present in you …. And you will soon not undertake anything, nor walk anywhere, without having asked for My blessing, and then you can also be certain that I will walk by your side wherever you go, that I will mentally instruct you and let My strength and light flow to you in abundance …. Yet all this is not possible when a person only mentions his God and Creator with his mouth without being inwardly urged to establish contact with this God …. His earthy life will not bring him much spiritual success unless he still changes his thoughts and actions, so that he will learn to recognise Me and then believes in Me with a living faith ….
Amen

God's justice demands atonement for guilt ….
B.D. 8504 from May 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 89
I am a good and just God …. My love for My living creations is immeasurable, and I would like to make all of them happy and give them the highest happiness because love urges Me to do so …. But since I am supremely perfect, I Myself must also move in My order from eternity; all signs of My perfection must be recognizable, and therefore also My justice must prove My perfection, which therefore also sets limits to My exceedingly great love, which I would like to prove to all My creatures …. I cannot make a being happy that has become sinful because this would contradict My righteousness …. Therefore My love is bound to My eternal law; it can only make the perfect happy to the extent that I want the being to be indescribably happy …. I can certainly grant mercy for justice by helping the being that has become sinful that it becomes free of its sins …. But the will to do so must come from the being itself, it must be aware of its guilt of sin and desire to become free of it, and it must ask for help to do so …. Thus I cannot release the being from its guilt against its will, nor can I make it happy with My love until My justice has been satisfied, for which the being itself must be willing …. Many of the spiritual beings called into life by Me had transgressed against Me …. They had become sinful, and barriers were imposed on My endless love because My justice did not allow love to work as before, that it therefore immeasurably blessed the beings …. And therefore these beings would have been eternally banished from My flow of love if My justice had not been satisfied, which, however, the beings themselves were unable to do, which they were completely incapable of doing due to their resistance to My strength of love …. in which their great sin consisted …. Nevertheless, the atonement had to be carried out according to the law of divine order if the beings were ever to be able to be permeated by My love again, thus to be made happy …. And this work of atonement was accomplished by the man Jesus out of love for Me and for humanity, whose wretched state He recognized and wanted to remedy by virtue of His love …. My justice was thereby satisfied, and My love was now able to come forth and turn towards the beings which once had gone out from Me and prepare a beatitude for them again which only I Myself as the Eternal Love can bestow upon them, but which also makes every being immeasurably happy …. Due to the former sin of apostasy from Me a restriction of My love was imposed on Me on the part of the one who became sinful …. because I do not give love power to it against the will of a being …. And even if it gives up its resistance, it must first have become free of its sin guilt to be allowed to receive My love again, because this requires justice, which belongs to My perfect nature, and because I eternally cannot overturn the law of order …. which is founded in My perfection. The man Jesus fulfilled the law, He lived entirely in divine order, but He also saw the way of life of His fellow human beings, which was completely against the law of divine order, and He took all their guilt of sin upon His shoulders and offered Me such an unheard-of sacrifice to redeem the guilt of sin of all that had once fallen, and I accepted this sacrifice, I was satisfied with it as compensation for the immeasurable guilt, which the beings that had fallen away from Me and then also the human beings had loaded upon themselves …. I accepted the sacrifice of the man Jesus, Who wanted to redeem all people from sin …. For the love in Him brought the sacrifice …. But love was I myself …. Thus love redeemed the guilt, but this would not have been possible without an act of atonement which I could only accomplish in the shell of a human being who was capable and willing to suffer …. Who Himself suffered immeasurably as compensation for the fallen one’s guilt of sin. And therefore justice has not been bypassed; it was satisfied, and now My love could again become effective; it could give itself away and make the creatures immeasurably happy, because they were again without guilt, and that is why they can also unite with Me again and be completely radiated through by My love, as it was in the beginning …. And My love will not let up, and it will help everything that once had become sinful to voluntarily carry its guilt under the cross, to hand it over to Jesus and thus My justice will not be circumvented and the being will nevertheless be released from its guilt, because Love sacrificed Itself, because in the man Jesus It declared Its willingness to suffer and to die so that people will not punish the once fallen beings for their immeasurable sin…. did not need to suffer for their immense guilt of sin because they would have been eternally incapable of redeeming their sins and making (the) atonement for Me, which I, as a righteous God, had to demand in order to grant the beings the beatitude again which My immense love wants to provide for them. The compensation for the great guilt must be created first, because My perfection cannot violate the lawful order; every guilt must be redeemed, because this demands My justice ….
Amen

Teacher training ….
B.D. 8505 from May 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 89
I will supply you abundantly with teaching material so that you also can instruct your fellowmen right and give them enlightenment when they demand it. And I will also truly prepare the right teachers for me, men who are so devoted to Me that they always only want to be active in My will and always and constantly entrust themselves to My guidance, who do nothing without Me and also always only desire and want to spread pure truth. Because this is a responsible office to be a teacher to fellowmen, because the maturing of the souls of those is also dependent on the spreading of truth, if they are of earnest will to fulfil their purpose of earth life. Who wants to teach, he must first himself stand in truth; he must possess a spiritual knowledge, which he himself completely masters, if he wants to pass it on comprehensibly to his fellowmen. And such knowledge can only I Myself give to a man, who is willing to utilize it according to My will …. And at the same time as knowledge I also give man the understanding for it; I train him to be a teacher, who now can work for blessing …. He certainly receives the knowledge with the heart, but also his intellect is so directed from Me that he grasps everything and can now also reproduce it right. And as soon as he is now active for me, as soon as he wants to teach fellowmen according to My will, also his thinking will be directed by Me right; My spirit can have an effect in him …. And then he will always instruct men so that they can understand everything themselves and always demand new instructions. And everyone will be able to get information from those who receive their teaching material from Me Myself …. And this is to be especially emphasized that you men then go to the spring out of which you are to draw, and the water of life will then also serve you for the salvation of your soul. Everything you receive in knowledge in the spiritual sphere must have its origin with Me …. And that is why you also have to check it for its origin. If I now teach you Myself, then you can be sure of it that you are allowed to pass on everything what you receive from Me, that I give you the order for it, because I want that pure, true spiritual knowledge is passed on to men, and because I also train the suitable men for it, who carry out this teaching order. And you can also unhesitatingly accept every explanation from them, for it will always correspond to truth, even if it is voiced by the person himself as it were as his own thought material, for then it is I Myself Who guides his thoughts, because he speaks for Me and in My name. You then do not need to fear that his own words contradict My word supplied to him, because if he is active for Me, then I protect him from weaving in wrong spiritual material. But you are not always allowed to assume the same when a man speaks who does not have the assignment from me …. Because My spirit must always be able to work in him, what requires certain preconditions. But My spirit will also have an effect where a man in love towards Me and towards the neighbour stands up for pure truth, if he earnestly wants it himself that he only expresses truth. I support every earnest will and see to it that man then himself recognizes truth and supplies no erroneous thought material to his fellowman. But if you are in possession of My word from above, then you have the most delicious teaching material, which enables you to your teaching office, because everything what you now pass on, you draw out of the source, out of the spring of life …. and everyone who hears it, he again receives My word from Me Myself, even if it is offered to him by a mediator …. But he then can be convinced of the purest truth of that what is given to him; he no longer needs to doubt and therefore can also mature in his knowledge, because My word has great power, because My word is the light, which breaks through darkness, and because it is a delicious food for the soul, which now can be fed and watered by Me Myself and therefore also receives the best what can ever be offered to it …. My love light from eternity ….
Amen

Ascension of Christ ….
B.D. 8506 from May 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 89
The time of My visual existence for people on earth came to an end when I ascended to heaven …. For I had fulfilled the mission as a human being and finally gave My disciples and those who believed in Me as the Son of God a last sign which should strengthen their faith …. I showed Myself to them once more and demonstrated to them My Divinity by way of visibly ascending to heaven …. which they were only allowed to observe due to their strength of faith and which, in turn, should provide them with great strength for their further mission: to proclaim Me and My Gospel throughout the world …. No evidence can be provided for My ascension either, and yet it took place before the eyes of those who were completely devoted to Me. For My ascension no longer compelled them into believing, they had recognised Me and no longer doubted anything, but they had also been initiated into the most profound knowledge by Me and therefore I was able to ascend before their eyes as a last sign of My might and glory, which occurred and could occur visibly because I gave My Own exceptional strength for this experience. However, it was only a process which will be experienced by every soul that perfects itself on earth once it leaves its body and then enters spiritual realms in radiant light which, however, will remain concealed from the human eye. But it glides up into the kingdom which is its true home. Evidence of this should also be given to people even though it will not be acknowledged by still immature people who have not achieved any kind of spiritualization.
The ascension of Jesus will remain a myth to people as long as they have not penetrated spiritual knowledge, because something unusual had taken place which in fact only My followers were allowed to experience. However, it will no longer be doubted as soon as the human being’s soul has acquired a certain degree of maturity where nothing will be disbelieved anymore due to the realisation that nothing is impossible to God …. With Jesus’ ascension the act of Salvation was concluded. I had descended to earth and returned to My kingdom again which I nevertheless had never left, for I was and Am everywhere, but I had taken abode in a human form so as to be visible to you humans, and therefore I also ascended visibly again in order to then always and forever remain visible to everything I created for the sake of its beatitude ….
My Own stayed behind and felt lonely and abandoned as I disappeared from their sight, yet they were imbued by My spirit and clearly recognised their mission now, and they felt impelled by the spirit to carry out the task with which I sent them to all nations on earth. For this reason I let them experience the extraordinary event which was the final miracle on earth that completed My earthly progress …. For they needed much strengthening of faith since their contact with Me had, after all, resulted in a certain amount of dependence which they still had to overcome, and thus every one of My disciples time and again was able to recollect the final events in order to then do My will with wholehearted enthusiasm …. Yet I remained with them in spirit, and throughout their activity for Me they were frequently allowed to hear My Words which revealed My presence to them, so that their love for Me grew ever deeper and thus their knowledge increased to the same extent, and with it their ability to work for Me ….
I had redeemed people’s immense guilt of sin through My act of Salvation, and humanity had to be informed of this which could only happen again through human beings who themselves had experienced Me and My crucifixion …. Now they could proclaim the purest truth about this great act of compassion, and thus especially My first disciples were unusually strengthened and equipped for their mission, I had personally been able to teach and prepare them for their task in advance and I had extraordinarily strengthened their faith, although they kept their freedom of will. However, their love for Me and their way of life permitted My additional gift for their office, for the whole of humankind should be informed of this occurrence which had originated from the divine sphere for the sake of people and thus I required appropriate servants and messengers to spread this information. And these had to be able to support with full conviction what they were teaching …. Their love had enabled them to cope with unusual experiences and to eagerly bear witness of everything to their fellow human beings as well. But this knowledge of My act of Salvation will always necessitate a certain degree of love in order to be accepted and believed …. Yet a loving person will be infused by My spirit and guided into every truth, as I Myself have proclaimed ….
Amen

The right worship ….
B.D. 8507 from May 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
I will answer all your questions when you let Me speak to you and believe that I know about all your thoughts and also gladly give you enlightenment …. It is My will that you always remain united with Me through loving activity and prayer and that your thoughts often move into spiritual spheres …. that you therefore do not leave Me out of your thoughts …. If this bond is established through your free will, then you also give Me the right to direct you and your thoughts. And then you will always be stimulated into loving activity, for the intimate bond with Me will provide you with the influx of strength which will enable you to work with love …. And this activity of love consists of unselfish activity of love, of service …. For you humans can only redeem yourselves through service in love.… What made you reach the height during your pre-embodiment in a state of compulsion were the serving functions you had to perform according to My will …. In every form you had to serve, and through this you reached a state of maturity which made your being human possible …. And in this stage, where you have stepped out of the state of compulsion and can act completely in free will, you are now to serve voluntarily in love to reach the last perfection on earth. Once you fell, and your sin consisted of wanting to rule in arrogance …. And now as a human being you have to serve in humility and love in order to accomplish your change back to your original nature again, which had emerged from Me most perfectly …. This ‘serving with love’ is therefore your task in life, the fulfilment of which you should always make a point of. And this service of love cannot be replaced by a so-called ‘divine service’ where people come together at certain times in order to carry out certain customs which can be completely worthless if they are carried out mechanically and lack all deeper meaning. I include prayers which can only be described as lip prayers, where the mouth makes use of learned words and the heart is uninvolved …. or also other actions which have nothing to do with serving in love …. It is certainly good and beneficial for the soul when man visits places where God’s word is offered to him, when he himself desires to hear My word, and he then will also carry away a blessing for his soul according to his desire …. as also a spiritual exchange of thoughts with fellow human beings will be good, where lively speech takes place, where My presence is assured, when these people gather in My name and now My spirit can also work because I am present where two or three are gathered in My name …. as I have promised. Then people will prove to Me that they are serious about serving Me, and then everything they undertake will also be blessed, for they will then refrain from all form, from formal customs, which can easily become mechanical action and are then completely useless. You should understand that I only ever desire a living connection from you to Me …. that you should establish the relationship of a child to its father and that this will happen in the quiet chamber …. i.e. away from the world …. But what is prevented rather than encouraged in large communities …. unless people gather to listen to My word, which is offered to them …. But if you humans give Me the opportunity to address you yourselves …. If you receive My word from above through messengers which I send to you Myself, because I know the nature of every human heart …. then you will have far more blessings from this direct address, because then no external things will distract you and My word can penetrate deeply into your hearts …. You will sometimes find it difficult to detach yourselves from habits or views imprinted on you, but on serious reflection you will also recognize the worthlessness of them, for as soon as you seriously endeavour to increase your maturity of soul mere forms will no longer suffice for you and you will separate yourselves from them …. You will understand it that your father demands more from his children …. that you are just to prove your love to Him, which is expressed in works of unselfish neighbourly love, which is a constant serving and also certainly leads to the maturing of your soul. And you can also believe it that also the light of knowledge will shine brighter and brighter in you, because love in you also carries wisdom into you, and quite naturally that will be for you, what caused you before to question …. You will find the answer clearly and distinctly within yourselves, and all doubt within you will fall silent ….
Amen

Bearing suffering for fellow human beings ….
B.D. 8508 from May 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
I will also give you an explanation as to whether you can bear suffering for your fellow man or whether every person must bear the burden himself which was assigned to him for the salvation of his soul …. You humans must consider that your soul is supposed to mature fully during your earthly life, that all still immature substances should spiritualise themselves, which happens through love or suffering, for this dissolves the layers which still prevent the light of My love from radiating into the soul. And at the same time such substances of the body which are still immature are also a problem for the human being by causing him all kinds of diseases and thus, with patience, love and in submission to My will, they should be calmed and therefore spiritualised which is, after all, your real earthly task, to help your soul towards the greatest possible level of perfection. And this spiritualisation of soul and body must be accomplished by every person himself, this work can never be done by someone else on his behalf, and one day he will be grateful to Me that, by way of suffering and adversity, I helped him gain perfection. Consequently you can understand that you should not really try to avert anything which can benefit your fellow human being’s soul …. If, however, love is impelling you to offer yourselves to Me asking to bear your fellow human being’s suffering then I will not stop you in your love …. It will be temporarily taken from the person and placed upon you, and thus you raise your soul’s maturity because you are willing to accept more suffering and are motivated by love to do so.
One has suffered for all of you in order to release you from the immense suffering you would have had to take upon yourselves as penance for your guilt of sin, which was the reason why earthly life is a valley of tears and suffering for you humans …. But now all you humans can turn to this One Who will also take your suffering upon His shoulders and help you carry it …. Whose substituted atonement was accepted by Me and to Whom you should go if your suffering weighs you down, and he will help you carry it or take it from you depending on what is best for you.
However, the love of a fellow human being who is willing to suffer on your behalf is very highly valued, and this love will also guarantee you a flow of strength, for love is strength which will noticeably affect the sufferer …. And if someone offers loving intercession for you who have to suffer, the strength of this love can so permeate you that you will no longer feel the degree of suffering …. that your pain and agonies temporarily disappear, and your souls benefit from the strength of this love …. and thus mature and become less sensitive to pain …. The degree of love always determines the benefit the sufferer derives from such a prayer of love for him. And since the maturing of the soul is the purpose of earthly life and there are many possibilities to achieve this, it should be recognised first and foremost and not be prevented. True love, however, knows why a person has to suffer and will help him endure and make it easy for him to accept God’s will …. And then I will take the cross from him and his soul will have moved a step forwards again ….
Love and suffering help the soul to reach the goal …. If a person still has a low degree of love then greater suffering often occurs in order to hasten his soul’s purification …. But this purification of soul can never be achieved by another person’s conscious suffering on behalf of the former. Every soul is responsible for itself, and every soul has to reach its own maturity, which happens through love and suffering …. And the degree of suffering depends on the degree of love. I will certainly answer the prayer of someone who offers himself to bear suffering on behalf of a fellow human being because he loves him …. I will let him partake in the pain which he then has to endure. Yet he endures it for the purification of his own soul …. he indeed relieves the other person of the suffering for the sake of love, yet it serves him for his own perfection, whilst his fellow human being must likewise take care of himself and his psychological state of maturity, even if he is temporarily released from his suffering. No labour of love remains without result, yet where and how it takes effect remains My decision, Who knows every person’s state of maturity and whom I will always consider accordingly …. And I give to every person what he is able to bear, and it is enough that he calls upon Jesus, the bearer of the cross, if he deems his burden too heavy for him …. And as long as the human being lives on earth he has the option to reach the goal of perfecting himself through love and suffering …. through following Jesus ….
Amen

Belief in a pre-life in a must-state ….
B.D. 8509 from May 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
No man possesses the recollection of a stage of his previous life in the must state, and that is why also the knowledge about it is little credible to men; they certainly take note of it, but they cannot bring the previous states into connection with their earth life as man and are far more inclined to reject all this knowledge. And thus the forthcoming new banishment is also not credible to them and cannot frighten or induce them to change their life and strive for their spiritual perfection …. But neither can evidence be given to people that they have already lived on this earth for eternal times and are now in the last stage of their development …. Because their perfection is to take place in completely free will, but proofs would mean a compulsion on the will. Nevertheless I do not let up to again and again supply men with that knowledge, and just the unusual influx of it should already be considered as small proof to men that knowing powers are at work, which take care of men in their lack of knowledge and want to give them enlightenment …. And people only needed to think about the meaning and purpose of creation and the meaning and purpose of their own walk on earth …. Then also the knowledge about the course of their souls through creation would be much more believable to them and would rather make them happy than frighten them that they now have moved into the last form as man to also once become free from this and to have ended their course on earth. But men cannot be put into a degree of knowledge against their will, i.e., a love life is necessary for it to be able to reach a degree of knowledge. And the human being cannot be forced into love, therefore knowledge cannot be conveyed to them as long as the precondition is not fulfilled …. And again he has to be taught how important it is to fulfil the commandments of love, and this can only ever happen on the part of a fellow human being who possesses knowledge himself and wants to pass it on in love …. thus their cooperation is absolutely necessary, and I bless you as soon as you offer your services to Me, for I need you to instruct your fellow human beings in accordance with the truth …. Whenever the opportunity presents itself you should call upon Me in spirit and ask for My blessing, then your work will not be unsuccessful either …. And when only an impulse is given to men, which causes them to think, then he already enters the right way and can be continued on the part of their leaders, to whom they are entrusted during earth life. It is only ever a matter of making the human being think about himself and his actual purpose, about his relationship with his God and Creator from eternity …. It is only a matter that he does not only walk on worldly ways but once also enters the spiritual way, i.e., that his thoughts are not only worldly directed but deal with his actual purpose of earth life, which always means a change into the spiritual kingdom, which can be exceedingly beneficial. You men will certainly find far more rejection, and still you are to try again and again and point out to fellowmen to the creations around them, which prove a God, whose power let them come forth, and it is to be explained to them what creation actually is …. that your soul has gone through all these creations in small and smallest particles and that also all these creations in endless long time will likewise go the last course as man over earth …. You will certainly only rarely find belief, and still this description can stimulate fellowmen to think, and then already much is won, because such thoughts will then no longer leave them, because they can more and more observe world events and the more and more frequent destructions of earthly matter, which can also take place naturally. You men, who yourselves were already introduced into this knowledge, you can be beneficially active among your fellowmen, if you inform them of it, even if you find no faith ….. Especially in the last days this knowledge is still to be spread, because for every unbelieving human being there is the danger that he will be granted the same fate again which he has long since overcome …. that he will be begotten again into the creation of the new earth, which, however, does not mean a ‘transmigration of souls’, instead, your soul will be dissolved again, and its course of development will take an infinitely long time again until it has once again attained maturity in order to be allowed to take the last test of will in the human being on earth …. You unbelieving men are in danger to fail, and that is why this warning is to be given to you that you have to take a lot upon yourselves again, which lies behind you, and you are to believe in it and willingly accept the teachings, which are given to you to turn this dreadful lot away from you. Just kindle love in yourselves, and truly, you will be able to believe and also change your way of life; you will eagerly strive to still fulfil your earth task, for you are able to do everything if you fulfil the commandments of love …. Then you will lack neither strength nor knowledge, and then you will also listen to My messengers and follow them on the right path which leads upwards, towards the right goal …. into your father’s house ….
Amen

Re-transformation into love …. Spiritual spark …. Outpouring of the spirit ….
B.D. 8510 from May 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
Every person carries the divine spark within himself, which is part of Myself, Whose fundamental element is love …. Hence a tiny spark of divine love is inside of you and is in inseparable contact with Me, the primary source of the strength of love …. Consequently, this spark smoulders within you when you start your life as a human being on earth, and you are able to fan it into a brightly burning flame of such radiance that nothing inscrutable can prevail in it, since this flame illuminates everything and is able to completely permeate a person, so that he will live in brightest realisation as it was in the beginning, when he came forth from Me as a ray of love and a supremely perfect being …. Everything that is intimately connected with Me is in full possession of light and strength …. This is why the only important thing in a human being’s existence is to restore this connection …. which the being once voluntarily severed …. and precisely this is made possible through this very spiritual spark, which is intended to establish the connection with the eternal Father-Spirit in order attain a state of brightest enlightenment and clearest realisation which, at the same time, is a state of strength and freedom. Anyone having kindled this divine spark within himself will never be able to go astray again, for he will then move within the range of My divine light of love, he will have become a vessel into which the flow of My love can pour, for love caused this spark to ignite. Thus, anyone who is lovingly active also establishes the bond with Me, because I Am Love Itself, because ….’Whoever lives in love lives in Me, and I in him ….’ Love is the principle of divine order, only love is important in earthly life, for I Am Love Myself and if you want to reach Me then it can only be done by shaping yourselves into love and thereby becoming as one with Me again …. For your fundamental nature was love and it is only necessary for you to transform yourselves into your fundamental nature again …. for this reason I placed a spark of love into you, because you had forfeited love completely and without My support would never ever have been able to change back again, which I thus bestowed upon you by placing a part of Myself into you which is eternally connected to Me ….
And now you should use your existence on earth to fan this spark into the brightest glow …. Then all imperfection will fall away from you, you will have escaped all unhappiness, spiritual blindness will give way to brilliant light, you will know everything again, for love itself is the light which will illuminate you and dispel all darkness …. Through love you awaken the spiritual spark in you to life, and you will have evaded the state of death which every form of heartlessness signifies for the once created living creation. Then My ray of love will be able to permeate you, and since I Am all-knowing you will also attain the state of knowledge, because you will have entered the state of divine order which guarantees brightest light and clearest realisation …. where you will become as perfect again as you were in the beginning. Do you still find it incomprehensible as to what is meant by the ‘outpouring of the spirit’? Do you now understand that it is a completely natural process when the spirit instructs you from within? As soon as you establish a bond with Me through living a life of love I Myself will be able to work in you by helping you attain the realisation again which you once lost, which you voluntarily forfeited when you relinquished all love and resisted My illumination of love. To accomplish your task on earth merely means to change yourselves into love again, for which I gave you the opportunity by placing a tiny spark of divine love into you …. And therefore only love needs to be preached to you, for if you practise this you will also gain a complete understanding of the consequences which the activity of love will have …. The pouring out of the spirit will become a comprehensible concept for you and then you will also know what truth is and where and how you can attain it …. For everything originates from Me and only requires a connection with Me so that you can partake in it and become as perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect …. However, as long as you lack love your spirit will remain dark, it will certainly rest dormant within you as a spark but it will not be motivated into action which always requires loving activity. Therefore you can consider yourselves blessed if this information is imparted to you, if you accept it and then endeavour to live your life according to this knowledge …. that you let love flare up in you and thereby receive the life again which will last eternally ….
Amen

Are dissolved particles capable of suffering? ….
B.D. 8511 from May 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
Every being will forfeit its self-awareness again if it totally fails as a human being and can no longer escape the fate of a renewed banishment …. And this is the most dreadful thing that can happen, for although having been dissolved into countless minute particles it is no longer able to feel like a whole entity, as you humans assume, it nevertheless experiences inconceivable agonies, because the spiritual being, which was once created as a free entity and already had partially regained its freedom again as a human being …. is now constrained and experiences this constriction as dreadful torment. For My once emanated strength had been self-aware beings, they had been able to live to the highest degree, thus they had not just been dead shells …. yet they became like that when they apostatised from Me …. When the spiritual substances became hard the actual life had escaped from it, that is, My strength, which gives life to everything in the first place, no longer permeated these shells …. And the dissolved minute particles will also remain without life as long as they cannot be illuminated by My strength of love …. The fact that these lifeless tiny particles can nevertheless be sensitive is incomprehensible to you humans …. In that case, however, they would never react when My strength of love tries to capture and enclose them so that the fallen spiritual substances can be reshaped into matter …. For even its resistance is a reaction which demonstrates that the spiritual substance feels a certain amount of pain and tries to put up a fight …. And the whole of Creation is in this state of torment, for it is subject to a law of which I Myself Am the Originator …. It is not free and has to subordinate itself to My law of eternity …. which is extremely painful for the spiritual substance which once was created as a free being …. However, would it not feel this agony, it would never ever be possible to change this lifeless state again …. You humans will never be able to understand this, but you should believe it, otherwise you would not need to fear a descent into the abyss and you would be completely indifferent as to what will happen to you after the death of your body. On earth you have your self-awareness again and are free up to a certain degree and yet not entirely happy as long as you have not found unity with Me by completely handing yourselves over to Me ….
Nevertheless, as long as you are alive you can still attain the latter …. If, however, you lose your self-awareness again then you will also lose all freedom, your activity will be determined by My will once more leaving you unable to use any will of your own, you will be bound within deepest darkness without knowledge of your existence, because you will be dissolved and only perform those functions which your God and Creator has decided you should do …. And if you, in a mature state of soul, are one day able to view this long period of time in the state of compulsion, then you will also know about the inconceivable agonies your soul had to endure in the countless forms, and you will also understand why My love is constantly admonishing and warning you in order to spare you this appalling fate. For you cannot vanish again into nothingness, and because you are immortal …. albeit dissolved …. then that which remains will never be insensitive either …. You humans should only ever content yourselves with the information I convey to you as truth …. I want to rectify misguided assumptions like the one that the dissolved spiritual substances lack sensory perception, that its state is therefore synonymous with ‘non-existence’. Then the process of development would not be a maturing until the state when it receives its self-awareness again as a human being, for all spiritual beings only redeem themselves by way of suffering and being of service, both before their incarnation as a human being as well as during their human existence …. It should not be forgotten that the being had burdened itself with tremendous guilt due to its past apostasy and that it will increase this guilt again if it does not make use of the last time of grace as a human being and descends again into the abyss. And although a complete redemption through the being is not possible, it will nevertheless have to make
Amends and suffer for as long as it is not released from this guilt through Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation …. To accept Jesus’ work of grace and compassion is the human being’s task in his earthly life, and therefore he could easily ascend …. If he fails and rejects all help from above, if he descends again into the abyss, then it will also be understandable that his path of suffering will start again when the soul is dissolved again and the path through the creations starts all over …. And neither will the suffering come to an end until the immense guilt is, sooner or later, redeemed through Jesus Christ, when the human being’s will is ready to take the path to the cross and to appeal to Him for forgiveness of his guilt …. And this great blessing is at the disposal of you humans on earth …. If you don’t use it and pay no attention to it then your suffering will not come to an end, for you are very distant from Me, your God and Creator, and that always signifies lack of freedom, light and strength and consequently you will not be happy either ….
Amen

Declaration of sufferings and afflictions of the last days ….
B.D. 8512 from May 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
I give you to consider that you can use every day for your perfection, which is still granted to you …. And even if you are still so far away from Me, you can bridge the wide gulf yourselves as soon as you pray to Me intimately …. Then you have voluntarily walked the path to Me, and I truly come to meet you and draw you to Me …. And even if the time is only still short when you stay on earth, as long as you possess free will, you can turn it towards Me, and from that time on you also give Me the right to take you by the hand and to lead you. Only this free will must become active from you, which you give to Me when you pray to Me as your God and creator, whom you acknowledge as powerful, and appeal to his love that it helps you. I only demand an intimate prayer to me, and truly, you are rescued for time and eternity. Because through this prayer you again acknowledge Me as your father, from whom you once went out, and through this prayer you also again seek the union with Me, and then also My power can again radiate into you, and every relapse to the deep is now impossible, because I now also assert My right towards My opponent, because you are also My share, which I no longer give away, when it has once decided for me. And you still possess the I-consciousness; you still walk over earth as man. And you only still need to make good use of the short time to complete yourselves, because you can now also be sure of My support for it, because I still wrestle until the end for every soul, that I win it for me. Only I cannot take possession of you as long as you yourselves still turn towards My opponent and he therefore also has the right over you, which I do not dispute with him. However, I cannot impress you humans very much with spiritual warnings and admonitions; earthly worries and hardships must weigh you down, then there is more of a chance that you will remember Me and take the path to Me with the request to help you …. And that is why I cannot turn away hardship and worries from you men because they are the last means to cause you to change your thinking …. For this reason suffering will also be rampant in the last days, every person will be affected by it himself or will have to experience it in his fellow human beings, for love is to be kindled in people’s hearts, and every earthly adversity can be the cause for hearts to soften and willingly help their fellow human beings …. And where just one spark of love glows I will help and provide people with the strength to continue to be active in love …. And then they already establish a quiet bond with me, which they deepen according to their degree of love. Until the end opportunities will present themselves to the human being where he can help unselfishly …. whether he takes advantage of them is decided by his will, which is free …. but precisely for this will he is responsible, for his will is influenced by My side as well as by the adversary’s, and he must now decide. But he can think, and mentally My light beings will assist him, but always have an effect on him without compulsion, as also My opponent cannot direct them compulsorily. But My love does not let him fall; My love pursues the soul until the death of the body, and it is touched by Me so often that it can truly decide for Me …. And as soon as it only carries out works of love, I have won it, because now it approaches Me and again and again receives power for love work. And love joins us together …. this soul can no longer get lost …. But without hardship and suffering I will no longer achieve anything on this earth, and that is to be an explanation to all of you why the end-times often seem to be unbearable …. What My love no longer brings about can only still happen through trouble and suffering that I Myself am called upon in suffering and am asked for help. And this call will be assessed by Me as recognition of Myself, and man will also be considered accordingly; I will announce Myself so obviously that man now first learns to recognize Me and he also shows love towards Me ….. And I will still accept him in the last hour …. He will remain protected from the lot of the new banishment, and even if his degree of maturity is still so low he will still be able to increase it in the kingdom on the other side because the danger of a fall into the abyss now no longer exists …. Because who once has recognized Me, he no longer gives Me up for ever ….
Amen

Unheard-of grace of the word reception ….
B.D. 8513 from May 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
The word from above is given to you, and that means that you are in direct contact with the highest and most perfect spirit in infinity …. it means that His strength shines into you, that He speaks to you, that a ray of light from the eternal light falls into your hearts, it means that you stand in right filial relationship to Him, Who is your father from eternity …. You cannot grasp this exceedingly great grace that His love has mercy on the once fallen and that He uses a human being who himself still walks in human weakness but whose will is to serve his God and Creator …. You cannot measure what grace you are allowed to receive when His word sounds to you, which obviously proves to you the bond with your God and Creator …. For your former apostasy from Him plunged you into endless depths, you became completely unable to hear His word …. And yet His love bridges this deep gulf, and He addresses you humans in order to win you back again as His children, who after all had emerged from His love and voluntarily stepped out of the child relationship …. The most perfect Being bends down in His love to the fallen being and speaks to it …. It again announces to it Its will and lights a light for it that the being can find the way in darkness, which leads back to the father, which it otherwise would not find eternally and which still has to be walked, if the being wants to again reach happiness, which was its share in the beginning. In the state as man the being is in spiritual darkness, and that means that he knows nothing of the secrets of divine work, that both his earth purpose as well as his relationship to God is unknown to him …. And only when he receives a small light, for which he is on earth, he will also lead his way of life according to his knowledge, and therefore this small light has to be kindled for him, which he himself can still increase in its illuminating power …. And as soon as therefore man can walk in the light, he will also feel well and flee from darkness …. And he will turn towards the eternal light, which now radiates into his heart, and then he will also again be able to hear the word in himself, which once sounded in him as love radiation of God …. But men mostly walk in darkness because the light of love does not burn in them or only weakly …. And that is why the word of God can rarely only sound, and the state of mankind would be hopeless if again and again a pure vessel would not offer itself, which has prepared itself for the reception of a great favour …. to receive the divine word, which now sounds directly as an outpouring of divine love, which seeks to achieve nothing else but to find access to human hearts again in order to make known to them the divine will, upon the fulfilment of which their salvation of soul depends …. an eternal life in light and power and freedom …. depends (is dependent). Where the word of God can be conducted to earth, there also the guarantee is given that the right way up is entered, because the divine word can only sound under certain conditions, and these are also already a proof of a certain soul maturity, because God Himself can only express Himself through such a vessel, which has formed itself to love and through this has also prepared itself as receiving vessel of the divine spirit. The word was silenced in the beings, which fell, and the great original sin had to be redeemed before, before the possibility existed again to hear the word in the heart, but the merciful love of God again and again ensured that he could open a source, out of which the water of life, his word, flowed pure and clear to men, at which all can refresh themselves, who want health in their souls. Because men need this stream of life; they need an obvious proof of God’s presence to again be stimulated to approach him and therefore to fulfil their purpose of life on earth. They must be pulled out of the state of darkness; knowledge must be supplied to them again about their original beginning and their final goal …. about their relationship to their God and Creator and their actual purpose of earthly life. But the supply of the divine word to earth remains an unheard-of gift of favour, because once the beings voluntarily rejected His divine address and through the rejection of His love power they burdened themselves with a guilt of sin, which was so great that it could not be redeemed by the beings themselves …. And yet, the highest, most perfect Being addresses His creations again because His love is immeasurable and He wants to win back all His creations, (and therefore He addresses them again) so that they voluntarily surrender to Him for eternity ….
Amen

Where God's Word is recognised, that is where He is present ….
B.D. 8514 from May 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
My presence is evident wherever My spirit is able to work, for My expressions through the spirit testify to Me, and only someone closely united with Me can hear this expression of the spirit. For it is the same as if a father speaks to his child, it can hear him because they are together …. So now, you humans will ask yourselves whether I address you too, although it does not happen directly …. when My messengers bring you My Word …. Yet even then will you hear the Father’s voice, providing you wish to hear it …. For I will be present to those as well, even if they merely read My Word, since it can only affect their heart if it voluntarily opens itself and thus allows Me to enter, in which case the person feels addressed by Me, the Word comes alive in him, it is no longer the dead Word only heard by the ear but his heart accepts it and is happy to hear Me speak. And thus he is permeated by My spirit, for his spiritual spark has already been awakened to life or he would truly not recognise the Father’s voice. Hence, all those people may hear Me who make contact with Me in thought even if they cannot hear My Word directly. But I also know to whom I can convey My Word, who desires to hear Me and who allows Me to speak to his heart …. For this reason I said to you ‘I shall pour out My spirit over all flesh ….’ For everyone’s spirit is enlightened who recognises Me Myself in My Word. Thus My spirit is able to speak to the spiritual spark within him, just as his thoughts will be right and truthful, because he is inwardly in contact with Me …. Yet all this presupposes love …. Without love every human being’s heart stays closed to My speech, without love all knowledge remains dead for him, without love the human being cannot recognise the Father’s voice, he only hears empty Words which mean nothing to him, and he will reject anyone who imparts such Words to him …. Only love is the key to the door of the heart through which I can enter, consequently I have to be present to the person who recognises Me and My Word and allows himself to be impressed by it. And I know people’s hearts, I know where love has been kindled and where My presence is possible, because where love exists I Myself Am present ….
Thus, a lovingly active person already has the most certain guarantee for My presence, because I Am Love Itself and therefore have to be where love is being practised …. And where I Am present I will express Myself …. This certainty should make all those of you happy who recognise Me in My Word, for you know that I Am present in you and that you therefore have already established the bond with Me, which is the meaning and purpose of earthly life, and that you have also passed the test of earthly life, otherwise you would be unable to recognise My Word as the Father’s voice. And thus you know that My vineyard labourers’ task of spreading My Word is extremely significant, for then I can be present in every person who accepts My Word from your hands and who recognises that the Word of his eternal God and Father is addressed to him. I speak to all of you, I speak to every single one of you, always according to your degree of maturity and love, and I guide you into truth, for only truth will be able to fill you with joy yet you can only receive it from Me, the Eternal Truth. This is why all those of you who come into possession of the truth from Me through My servants on earth, if you are unable to receive it directly from Me, may consider yourselves fortunate …. But you can always consider yourselves addressed by Me Myself, for I touch your heart, and the most certain sign that I Am present to you is the fact that you open the door of your heart to Me, i.e., that you long for My presence. And believe that with every Word you receive from My mouth strength will flow to you …. Your soul will spiritually benefit for My Word is not ineffective, it has to lead to spiritual progress because the strength of My love pours into your hearts and can never remain ineffective. Hence your willingness to hear Me, to receive My Word, is already a reliable guarantee that your soul has found the path back to Me, that it is maturing, because it longs for Me and My presence and thereby enables Me to provide it with everything it is lacking: that it will regain light and strength and freedom, which it once voluntarily forfeited …. I want to fill you with My spirit, as I have promised, and you will receive My Word which will guide you into all truth ….
Amen

Presupposition of the presence of God: love ….
B.D. 8515 from June 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 89
Again and again I want to point out to you that you all can hear My voice when you just carry out the change back of your nature to love and are now so intimately connected to Me through love that you can hear Me. Because My presence, which you now allow in you through love, will then also prove itself through My address, as you also heard My word in you in the beginning, when you had gone out from Me in all perfection. You are indeed still far away from it at the beginning of your existence as man, because your nature lets little love be recognized; but very quickly you can change, and you can become happy men on earth, if you just join Me intimately, what only presupposes a life in love. And again and again I give you the assurance that every gulf can be bridged when you just muster the will for it yourselves, because you just need to pray intimately to also secure My presence for you. The spiritual spark in you, which is part of My father-spirit from eternity, will also constantly push towards it, and if the human being consciously strives for the unification of his spiritual spark with the father-spirit …. that he lives a life of love and thus causes the eternal love Itself to be present, then he will also certainly be able to hear My voice within himself …. the clearer the stronger love flares up in him …. Then therefore My spirit can pour into a suitable vessel, because love banishes all impurity out of the heart and this has therefore prepared itself right that My love stream can flow in. And to be radiated through by My spirit means to gain deepest, truthful knowledge …. to change the state of ignorance, of spiritual blindness and darkness into a state of light and clarity about everything what is connected with one’s own being …. To be ignorant is not a state of bliss …. To stand in brightest knowledge will always make man happy because then he is also already close to his original state where he was radiated through with light and power …. And this light and power will be his share when he brings love in him to unfold …. Then My light of love also radiates to him again, then he can also hear Me Myself again …. He can exchange with Me; he can ask, and he will receive answer; he can be introduced to deepest knowledge through My word, because My spirit flows over him and inner clarity, bright knowledge will always fill him with happiness …. Love therefore secures this blissful state for him; love gives him light and strength; love establishes the bond with Me as the Eternal Love, and this human being clearly and distinctly hears My voice within himself who only ever lives a life of love. Only through My death on the cross did it become possible again that this intimate union with Me took place, because before My opponent possessed too much power and he prevented men from love work, where he could only …. and because the original sin had created an unbridgeable gulf between My living creations and Me …. I have bridged this gulf Myself through My death on the cross ….. Nevertheless, every human being has to step onto the bridge himself and restore the bond with Me on his own initiative …. And this only happens through love, because I can only unite with a person who seeks to assimilate himself to My original nature, who draws Me to himself through a life of love …. And so love is the prerequisite to also be able to hear My voice, because love results in My presence and My presence proves itself again through My address …. And so I also could fill My disciples with My spirit and give a clear sign of My work after My ascent to heaven …. Through My death on the cross they had again become free from all guilt, their life was a service in love and their hearts thus prepared that My spirit could flow in, and this obviously happened because I wanted it that way that men take note of My unusual work in My disciples …. And so they could also …. full of wisdom from Me …. now carry out their mission to spread My gospel to the world and to proclaim Me and My great work of grace and mercy …. For all men are to reach their perfection on earth, and therefore they must first lead a life in love to then be led by Me Myself by the hand, to mature in their souls and to grow in knowledge and to be able to associate with Me Myself as a child associates with its father …. And then they will also hear My voice the higher the degree of their love increases …. For the father speaks with His child …. God speaks with His creatures because He wants to lead everything again to perfection, because all His creatures are to live again in light and power and freedom eternally ….
Amen

The outpouring of the spirit …. Whitsun ….
B.D. 8516 from June 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 89
Only after My crucifixion was it possible for Me to pour out My spirit, for prior to this no human being would have been capable of sheltering anything divine within himself, since humanity was still burdened by the original sin of the antagonism against God. My spirit, however, is the emanation of Myself, and no human being burdened by guilt could ever have been a recipient of this emanation, for the gulf which existed between what had become guilty and Myself was too deep.
But I, in the human being Jesus, have made
Amends for this guilt, and everyone who accepts My act of Salvation is now also able to prepare himself such that he can receive My illumination of love again, and that means that I Myself can take abode in the person and as evidence of My presence can also permeate him with My spirit …. Then his thoughts and intentions will be determined by the strength of the spirit, he cannot think and want something wrong as long as My spirit works in him …. For he completely consciously allows Me to work in him, he opens himself by intimately uniting with Me and thus enables Me to lower the light ray of My love into his heart which illuminates everything …. giving him the most bright and clear knowledge, so that the human being will emerge from his present darkness and be guided into every truth by My spirit, as I have promised.
This act of the outpouring of spirit, which took place in My disciples in full view of all people, had to be preceded by My crucifixion, My adversary had to be defeated first so that he would no longer be able to forcibly keep people in darkness but had to release those who turned to Me, who allowed themselves to be redeemed by Me, that is, who consciously acknowledged My great act of mercy and wanted to partake of it …. Thus death …. the immense spiritual darkness …. had been conquered for them, they were able to prepare themselves as vessels for the outpouring of My spirit …. Now they no longer experienced wrong thoughts, they recognised the truth and also fully consciously aspired to it, they emerged from the state of complete ignorance, they became enlightened …. My spirit permeated them, and now they also came closer to Me again, that tiny spark of spirit, which as part of Myself had rested dormant within themselves, aspired towards the eternal Father-Spirit to which it was inseparably connected. Very simply put …. the connection with Me …. having once been voluntarily discontinued by the beings, was restored again, and a being that was once more in contact with Me, the Eternal Light, had to be permeated by My light too, and its every thought can then only be right. He has to recognise the truth, and then the human being also has to uphold this truth, because he is urged by My spirit to proclaim the truth to all of his fellow human beings …. And this, too, was My first disciples’ mission, whom the outpouring of My spirit enabled to go out into the world and proclaim the Gospel to all nations. They had to possess the truth themselves in order to pass it on, and even though during My years of teaching they had been instructed in the truth by Me, the outpouring of My spirit nevertheless had to take place first so that they then would brightly and clearly recognise their task and no longer be burdened by ignorance, for they were instructed through the spirit by Myself, Who stayed with them as I had promised.
And thus, time and again I will pour out My spirit upon people who want to serve Me, who prepare themselves as vessels into which My spirit can flow and who, like My first disciples, want to bring the truth to people in the knowledge that only the pure truth can help people in their immense spiritual adversity …. And My spirit will be effective in them so that the darkness will be dispersed and the people desiring to serve Me by assisting in the redemption of errant souls will think correctly again. No person can give what he does not have ….
However, to you, My servants, I want to give abundantly, so that you can impart it again to your fellow human beings who urgently require your support, since they will not establish the relationship with Me on their own …. Yet you, who know all correlations, can enlighten them and even now persuade them to their change their will. And you will always be able to receive spiritual knowledge in abundance, and at all times …. when you ask questions, they will be answered such that you will also be able to recognise the Provider, which you then should pass on …. for many people and countless souls in the kingdom of the beyond will ask questions and desire truthful answers …. they will be able to receive them from you, for I know all thoughts arising from the heart and will give to every person according to his task (comprehension).
And this is My working in you …. the working of My spirit, which the first disciples were allowed to experience for themselves after My ascension. They, too, had to be assisted by My love time and again, for in order to implement the task given to them by Me they required extensive knowledge, and without My obvious support they would never have been able to accomplish this task, for I constantly instructed them through the spirit. Thus they did not have to be afraid to be incapable of working as teachers or of spreading incorrect spiritual knowledge and were able to administer their office well …. they were able to proclaim the Gospel in accordance with My will ….
And today, too, I give My last disciples on this earth the same task of taking the truth to people, which can only come forth from Me directly. For the earth is engulfed by profound darkness, errors and lies are so widespread that people have to muster an utterly sincere will in order to find the truth and then also to recognise it as such. But only through truth can they become blessed, because they can only learn to recognise and love Me when the pure truth about Me and My nature is imparted to them. And this knowledge, the pure truth, can only be imparted to them through My spirit, but it will also be clarified for you, because I love you and you only need to establish a heartfelt bond with Me through equal love in order to induce the spiritual spark in you, which is inseparably connected to the eternal Father-Spirit, to express itself …. Then I can speak to you Myself and place you into a state of cognition, and then you will also know what you have to do in order to achieve your goal …. the unification with Me …. while you are still on earth. For when I instruct you Myself you truly will be taught correctly, and then you will accomplish your task on earth for sure and change yourselves into love, you will adopt your fundamental nature again and be blissfully happy, as you were in the beginning ….
Amen

Events in the realm of spirits before the creation of the world ….
B.D. 8517 from June 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 89
You came forth from My love …. thus you are beings whose fundamental substance is love like Me and therefore could be spoken of as images when you belonged to Me and My strength of love constantly overflowed into you. And as long as you therefore belonged to Me you were also most perfect; you were full of power and light; you stood in brightest light; you recognized everything; you knew about all connections, and this extensive knowledge made you happy, because you could now also work in all wisdom and prepare immense happiness for yourselves. For you were able to work and create in free will and yet stood in the same will with Me, your God and Creator, and you therefore moved in fullest harmony …. you moved in divine order …. And I delighted in the happiness of My creatures which I, however, wanted to increase even more insofar as that every being should move in free will, independently of Me …. because then the bliss increased limitlessly when the being …. uninfluenced by Me …. entered into My will, although it could also think, want and act against My will, because the freedom of its will did not impose any restriction on it …. It could increase its bliss without limit …. But there was also the danger that the being directed its free will wrongly and acted against My will, which now resulted in the opposite: that the being became unhappy, because only remaining in My eternal order guaranteed the state of happiness for the being …. but thinking, wanting and acting against My order brought the being lightlessness and powerlessness and bondage …. a state which could not be called happy. Therefore the fall of the beings was a result of free will, but which again had to be granted to the being, otherwise it would not have been of divine origin, because free will is the proof and belonging to a divine being. The fact that this will now turned wrong and took a wrong direction was the cause of the creation of the world. Because all beings striving away from Me through this wrong will also once again had to strive towards Me in free will to reach again that original happiness, because I want to consider and fill everything that has come out of Me with My exceedingly great love, what is founded in My eternal order. Because love always just radiates love, only no resistance is allowed to be put against this love, otherwise it remains ineffective. Therefore the being once again has to give up its resistance, and that is the purpose of the endless long course through creation, which I called into life to cause the once fallen being to change back, which again has to take place in free will, as once also the falling away from Me had free will as reason. My love no longer stops eternally; My love also pursues the being straying from Me, but it does not force it to return …. But it knows innumerable ways and means to once again achieve the return to Me …. But My love also does not give up on a single being, even if it puts itself on the defensive towards Me for eternal times …. Once it nevertheless returns to Me in free will, then I can fill it again as in the beginning …. You men now, who dwell on earth, to you the knowledge is to be passed on about what preceded the creation of the world, so that you take knowledge of your God and creator and his plan of salvation from eternity …. No fellow human being can give you such knowledge unless he has received it from Me Myself. For a human being will never know of his own accord about the deepest secrets of creation and all processes in the spiritual kingdom …. Because man is in that state of lack of knowledge through exactly that former apostasy from Me, through his once wrongly directed will. But an explanation is to be given to him; he is to know about his beginning and his aim to now lead his earth life accordingly, which is to earn him the return to Me when he submits himself to My will again ….. And such knowledge can only be given to him by Myself …. And that I impart it to you already proves to you My great love towards you, which therefore expresses itself to also win back your love, which alone can establish the union between us, which is purpose and aim of your earth life as man. This knowledge supplied to you is a sign, a proof out of that spiritual world, which you once had left, because you stepped out of the eternal order, when you directed your will wrongly. And when therefore such a clear proof is given to you men out of that spiritual world that your God and creator reveals himself to you by him giving you knowledge of those processes in the kingdom of spirits, which preceded the creation of the world, then these revelations are only to cause you to it, to seek contact with the kingdom which is outside of the earthly realm, which is your true home and should therefore be striven for by you with all your strength, because only then will you be able to experience the infinite love of your God and creator again, Who, as father, wants to make you happy with all the glories in His kingdom …. For you would never strive towards Him in earthly existence if you were not given a small light as to what you were in the beginning, what you are now and what you shall become again …. For I want to receive you again as My children and fill you with My love, I also want to possess your love and be united with you forever ….
Amen

Truth is unknowable without love ….
B.D. 8518 from June 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
It is a futile effort to guide a person into truth who is devoid of all love …. Because exactly the lack of love is the darkness in which he is, and he can neither recognize a light in this darkness, nor would he be willing to accept it and to let himself be enlightened. Love, light and truth belong together; they are not to be thought without each other, and the spiritual trouble of men consists of unkindness, which brings darkness after it and therefore also truth cannot be recognized. And however the rescue of a soul is to proceed …. the commandments of love must always be presented to it first, and if it complies with these then salvation is also already guaranteed, because light and recognition of truth will then be the result …. To impart knowledge to fellowman, which can still be so deep and extensive, is completely useless when this man is without love, because then he is not able to penetrate into that knowledge and to recognize it as truth. But who has love, he will unhesitatingly accept truth, because he can recognize it as such. And it is again and again suggested to you that the gospel of love is urgent to be spread because it is pointless to supply much spiritual material to a man, which he is not able to grasp because his spirit was not yet awakened through love and he therefore also cannot be addressed by the father-spirit or also because man does not allow the expression of the spirit in him through his lack of love. And that is why the effect of My word sent to you from above will be completely different on men, according to the degree of love, which he has reached …. It will make a love-filled person deeply happy, and it will only have a weaker, soothing effect on those who are also only lukewarm in the fulfilment of the commandments of love, but who cannot be called entirely loveless …. The understanding of profound truths will not be as obvious as in a love-filled person who, as it were, has the same feeling within himself because his thinking could already be guided before the pure truth was conveyed to him from Me ( …. carried). But he will also recognize the correspondence and therefore be fully convinced of the truth of the spiritual knowledge conveyed to him. Yet people who have hitherto gone through earthly life lukewarm and indifferent but not entirely unloving can feel touched by the words and now make an effort to penetrate …. themselves…. They can above all recognize the importance of the commandments of love and change their way of life by now living consciously and striving to fulfil the commandments of love more eagerly …. And then their understanding will also grow, they will penetrate spiritual knowledge ever more and strive ever more eagerly towards Me. And that is why the transmission of the word sent to you from above is very important and significant, because it has an educational value and always only requires good will to be fully effective. Knowledge alone is not enough when love is lacking …. It will perhaps be thought through intellectually but have no further influence on the soul, on the will of man to reshape himself according to this will …. Therefore also the teaching of love can only be received with the ears, but not followed, and then man will gain nothing, but remain standing on the same level, because he can always only mature through love …. Anyone without love also has no desire for truth, and only the world offers him desirable goods, which he strives for ever more eagerly and thereby falls ever deeper into darkness, from which he can only find his way out through a life of love. If love is not strongly enough anchored in a man, then also the understanding for spiritual knowledge is not present to that extent that he himself could teach again, because fullest understanding and brightest clarity belongs to a teaching activity, to be able to refute all objections and to answer every spiritual question …. Love, light and truth are not separate from each other, but irrevocably the fire of love will radiate the light, which can only ever be pure truth …. Therefore My word, which comes forth from Me and is intended to touch hearts, must be lived out …. the word, which preaches love, must also cause the human being to live in love, and then he will also have enlightened thinking, and he will know what truth is and be able to distinguish it from error …. The ability to distinguish is therefore a sign of the awakened spirit, and only when you humans live in accordance with My divine commandments of love will it also be possible for you to recognize pure truth, and then you will also represent it as such …. because a gift which originates from Me is exceedingly effective and will certainly still help you humans on earth to attain perfection …. for you will transform your nature into love and no longer be of a will which is opposed to Me, you will unite with Me with every work of love, and I Myself will be present in you …. you will unite with Me again and be happy as you were in the beginning ….
Amen

Truth is light …. Darkness the result of heartlessness ….
B.D. 8519 from June 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
He who seeks will also find, yet intellect alone will never be able to differentiate between truth and error …. His will to possess the pure truth has to come from the bottom of his heart, and then his heart will be able to separate truth from error …. There is widespread error in the world which means that one can indeed speak of dense darkness, for truth alone is light …. And it almost seems as if the truth would no longer be able to prevail but be overwhelmed by darkness …. But time after time it will penetrate again as a ray of light and enlighten a person who yearns for the truth. Yet it cannot be attained purely intellectually, otherwise clever people would indeed always have to have the truth and a less gifted person would be shut off from all light …. But coming into possession of the pure truth is determined by a different factor ….
A heart has to be willing and able to love, then the light will ignite in the human being by itself, and then he will be able to distinguish truth from error …. He will avidly accept the truth and reject every inaccuracy. The fact that the earth is engulfed by profound darkness is due to people’s heartless way of life …. Heartlessness is the equivalent of spiritual darkness …. Only love is the light which bestows brightest realisation, love awakens the human being’s spiritual spark to life, and love emanates the light of wisdom. And thus someone with a heart that is willing to love will not fall prey to error either, his thinking will move within the truth for he is already connected to Me through love, and then the light ray of My love can enter his heart and tell him everything he desires to know.
And only a loving person will actually ponder whether he is thinking correctly, whether he receives the truth or has fallen prey to error when he is offered spiritual knowledge …. For a heartless person couldn’t care less whether his thoughts are right or wrong …. Yet only the human being who recognises and accepts the truth will be happy, for the truth will set him free and only then will he find the right purpose in his earthly life …. Only the truth will inform him about the meaning and purpose of his earthly existence, the truth will always provide inner peace, and he will find the goal worth striving for which he believes he has recognised in the truth ….
Through truth the person will also come close to Me, he will recognise and strive towards Me, and he will regard every error to be against Me and reject or fight it. His earthly life, too, will only appear worth living to him when he has received truthful knowledge about all correlations and the human being’s correct relationship to God, his Creator and Provider, and he will strive towards Him in the knowledge of finding beatitude which, as a human being, he is as yet unable to experience. Earthly life will also only appear meaningful to him when he is truthfully instructed about everything …. Darkness, in contrast, cannot make a person happy, and every misguided teaching is spiritual darkness which can never please a person but should be penetrated by a ray of light, which denotes truthful knowledge ….
The person requesting truth is rich indeed, for he will receive it without fail, because I Am truth Myself and every wish for Me will be granted …. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to bring light into the profound spiritual darkness in which people live at present, precisely because people are blind and no longer able to even see a ray of light …. Their eyes have been weakened by deceptive lights and can no longer perceive a soft ray of light …. And they chase after these deceptive lights and get caught in ever greater darkness …. But they cannot be forced to accept the true light, being in darkness they have to yearn wholeheartedly for a ray of light, then they will also be illuminated from within and be so pleasantly touched by it that they will want to escape the darkness. And time and again I let the light shine to earth and I also know who desires the truth …. and truly, he will receive it, but first it has to be preceded by a genuine desire for it ….
But every human will is free, and if he turns to the light he will truly not need to regret it …. If, however, he seeks darkness he will perish in darkness, for it will only ever lead into My adversary’s domain, whereas truth will lead to Me Who can only be reached through truth, for truth gives you humans a clear idea of what you need for your soul, and thus truth is the path that leads to Me and to eternal life …. Truth is the light that emanates from Me and enlightens the heart of every person who lives with loves and wants to unite with Me, the Eternal Love …. He will reach his goal, permeated by light he will return to his Father’s house ….
Amen

God's protection from the adversary's temptations ….
B.D. 8520 from June 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
You can live your earthly life without worrying as soon as you have found Me …. as soon as you are united with Me through prayer and activity of love, for then you have voluntarily returned to Me and can never ever go astray again …. And even if you are confronted by temptations because My adversary keeps believing that he can win you for himself, you nevertheless need not fear these temptations because I will protect you from falling prey to them. For your voluntary dedication to Me has given Me the right to do so, but neither will I contest his entitlement to fight for the souls which are embodied as human beings in earthly life. However, you are not defencelessly at the mercy of these temptations, for from the moment you turn to Me I watch over you and protect you from falling. If you envisage your long development through the creations of earth which resulted in your embodiment as a human being in the first place, then you will also understand that I support you in every way so that you will still reach the last goal, so that you will find unification with Me …. Admittedly, this can be more or less heartfelt, it can mean total fusion with Me but also not be quite so deep and intimate at first, and yet merely your will to belong to Me is already the decisive factor for Me, for then you establish the bond with Me which is also the guarantee that I will never let go of you again and then the adversary will have no more control over you ….
And this heartfelt bond can only happen when the original sin has been taken from you because of your acknowledgment of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, for you will never take the path to Me of your own free will while you are still burdened by the original sin, because then My adversary will still have complete control over you. Your dedication to Me proves, however, that you want to be released from My adversary, and this already gives Me the right which is no longer disputable. For then you belong to Me, because you have emerged from the strength of My love albeit also through My adversary’s will who used My strength to create you …. And everything that originates from My strength of love inevitably has to return to Me, for My strength, which was externalised by creating the being, will return to its primary source again. And you humans stand just short of this goal when you live on earth …. It is the last stage of the huge process of return, when the soul …. the once fallen original spirit …. embodied in a human being, should pass the final test of will …. to return to Me or to My adversary again, from whose power I had removed it until it was able to make a decision again as a self-aware being ….
This is why the earthly existence as a human being is of such great significance; after all, it decides the soul’s fate …. whether it will be eternally happy or have to languish in misery and torment for eternities again. Admittedly, it will reach its goal one day, but its free will can extend endlessly for the duration of its apostasy from Me, just as it can finish it within a very short time and return to Me into the Father’s house, which it once left of its own free will. Time and again you should bear this great significance of your earthly existence in mind and seriously strive to reach perfection, to return to Me, and always establish mental contact with your God and Creator of eternity, so that I then will be able to catch hold of you and draw you to Me …. For I do not influence you against your will, and neither can My adversary chain you to himself against your will …. You have to make your own choice for Me or for him, and with this decision you determine your later fate. But if you remember My love and appeal to Me for My assistance with complete trust, then you will truly not be left defenceless at My adversary’s mercy, but I will always stand between you and him and keep him at bay, and his temptations will lessen because you …. if you sincerely desire Me, will be surrounded by a bright shining light which My adversary flees because it gives evidence of My presence and he avoids Me because he is My enemy. He is no longer able to pursue you as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith and thus unite with Me through activity of love and prayer …. as soon as you never keep Me out of your thoughts …. Then you will have passed your test of will, and you will also attain the last goal while you are still on earth, that you perfect yourselves with My help and My strength …. so that you are and will remain My Own for all eternity ….
Amen

False Christs and prophets …. Characteristic: Salvation ….
B.D. 8521 from June 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 89
A strong light casts a deep shadow …. So especially where My pure Word is emanated to Earth, much error will also be conveyed to it, for My adversary seeks to extinguish the light from above or to obscure its radiance. This also explains his attempt to mislead people with seemingly similar gifts, that he deceives people with transmissions from the world of darkness and tries to offer them in the same format but which clearly betray his counter activity, for it distracts people from that which is most important: from the pure truth about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation …. The redemption of souls through Jesus Christ is precisely what he wants to prevent in order to keep his followers, whom he regards as his power. Much spiritual knowledge will be offered and everyone will claim to have ‘received it from above’ …. because My adversary does not shy away from disguising himself as an angel of light in order to confuse people’s thinking. And I cannot stop his approach; after all, people themselves grant him this right. For it is mainly the desire for unusual experiences which offers My adversary the opportunity to intervene and to provide them with spiritual information which is worthless, if not perilous, for the human soul. Many people have a very strong desire for extraordinary experiences and are therefore not critical enough with themselves …. If they turn to Me with an earnest will for protection from erroneous thinking, if they are really interested in the pure truth, they will certainly also be protected and My adversary will be unable to exert his influences over them, because I Myself will place the inner resistance into their heart …. But mostly they have initiated the communication with the beyond and are themselves incapable of verifying as to whether they receive truth or error …. And the spiritual beings in the beyond make use of this attitude by providing people with messages which they accept unchecked as truth, and thus My adversary can constantly intervene. The fact that he is solely interested in intensifying the darkness and in obstructing people’s path to Me …. that he will do everything in his power to prevent people from becoming redeemed through Jesus Christ, can be easily understood in view of the approaching end. Such connections with the spiritual world are therefore established in all places and people would rather accept this spiritual knowledge than the pure truth conveyed to them from My side.
Nevertheless, I will not determine people’s free will but, time and again, I will provide clarification instead, and every sincerely striving person will recognise the truth and reject the error. I will repeatedly mention the characteristics to you, I will provide those of you who want to serve Me with the clear ability of discernment so that you can check yourselves and, in turn, also give clear instructions to your fellow human beings so that they, too, will be able to recognise the error and liberate themselves from it …. You can rest assured that no earnestly truth-seeking person will become entangled in the thicket of lies and error which My adversary skilfully knows how to cast …. However, anyone who accepts something without examination lacks a profound longing for truth and therefore cannot be protected by Me, for My adversary is equally entitled to fight for every soul so as not to lose it, because it once followed him voluntarily and he makes full use of this right of his during the soul’s human existence …. and only the human being’s own will can disable him …. You will still hear much about his activity and must pay ever more attention to everything happening around yourselves …. You should only ever ask for Me and My protection and I will truly not deny it to you …. I have constantly told you to beware of false Christs and false prophets …. And how often will the attempt still be made to lead you astray …. how often will the holiest of names still be used in order to give you a taste for error and untruth. But you …. if you are serious about the truth …. must pay attention to your innermost feeling which will always discard the error. And always commend yourselves to Me and My grace, for as soon as merely your will is inclined towards Me, My adversary will have lost all power over you. False Christs and false prophets will time and again tempt you until the end, but you are able to recognise them, for they will not emphasise Jesus’ act of Salvation and not try to encourage you humans to take the path to the cross in order to liberate yourselves from your guilt of sin …. Then you will also know that you are not truthfully being instructed and can safely reject everything you are offered by that side …. Precisely the lack of knowledge about the significance of the act of Salvation is the spiritual darkness, and this shall be penetrated by the light of the pure truth …. The act of Salvation shall be mentioned in all places with the reference that the salvation …. the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ …. is the most important thing which must be attained in earthly life in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude …. And this knowledge is repeatedly conveyed to you through My Word from above …. But My Word will never be spoken where no clarification of it is given or where His great act of mercy is denied or trivialised …. Therefore, beware of false Christs and false prophets, for they only increase the darkness spread across the earth but they do not grant light ….
Amen
