Error rules men …. book of fathers ….

B.D. 8661 from November 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

How difficult it is to lead people to truth if I want to leave them free will …. My adversary’s power over men is enormous, but also only again because of their free will, because they grant him the right to exercise his influence, because they once voluntarily followed him into darkness; they gave away all light, and he also prevents men that they come to the light of knowledge, that they walk in truth. They could well break away from darkness, and they also believe to possess truth, and exactly that illuminates their spiritual state that they are not able to distinguish truth from error because they are of darkened spirit. They certainly let their intellect become active and also want to penetrate into spiritual areas intellectually; they make use of the book of the fathers and also approach the interpretation there intellectually, but their spirit is still darkened until they take the way directly to Me, their God and creator from eternity, and request purest truth from Me. My adversary will always try to prevent them from precisely this request for the supply of pure truth by believing that they can only find the purest truth in this book of the fathers. But even if the wording would have remained unchanged, the knowledge about it is of no use when the spirit does not guarantee them the right interpretation. But also this content has not remained unchanged because nothing remains unchanged what once took its start from Me in all purity. But a spiritually awakened man will always recognize where error has crept in. And that error has crept in, My opponent has always taken care of that, because it was always possible for him to intervene in the intellect of such men, who believed to be guardians of spiritual goods, which once went out from Me. Already the many divisions of the churches prove this to you, because if all would have found the same interpretation for the words recorded in the book of the fathers, then no divisions would have arisen …. But every school of thought believes to have the right interpretation, and yet they are different …. and this alone should make you humans think, and again and again you should question your God and creator Himself, and you will also be truthfully instructed by Me. But you do not believe in direct revelations of your father; you consider the divine address to be concluded with the ‘word of God’, which you believe to possess in the bible alone. And you do not even know that „I Myself am working in him who believes ….” You do not acknowledge divine revelations, otherwise you would also accept what is necessary for you to know. But how is light to be brought to people if even you, who believe yourselves called to proclaim My gospel to people, do not accept it? Truth alone sets you free, truth alone leads you to beatitude, for only through truth can you mature, because truth is the light which radiates from Me Myself, because you will not find your way home to your father’s house on a poorly illuminated path, for again and again My adversary will push you away from the right path and you will not notice that you are following him, because he disguises himself well and prevents you from accepting the right light through deceptive lights …. But the will of man alone decides …. And so a right light can certainly be brought to you again and again, but if you reject it, then you go further in the darkness of spirit. But again and again I ask you: Why do you not take the direct way to Me and ask Me for enlightenment of your spirit? Why do you rigidly hold on to an educated spiritual knowledge and do not assure yourselves whether you walk in truth by again and again asking Me for it? It will not even occur to you to doubt what has been conveyed to you through the ages …. But you should always bear in mind that nothing keeps itself pure what has passed through human hands because man has free will and therefore he is also not hindered when he makes changes …. and that changes have been made I emphasize again and again that I therefore again and again guide pure truth to earth because “heaven and earth will pass away but My word remains in existence until all eternity ….” And because it is exposed to changes through human will and then is also no longer My word, I again and again direct it down to earth, because My word is truth …. but always only My word. Think about it seriously because it is about that the spiritual darkness is broken through, which is spread over earth through the work of My opponent, who will always wage the fight against the light, and especially in the last time before the end. When your spirit is awakened then you will also clearly know to differentiate truth from error …. But then you also accept My word, which is directly directed from above to earth, because I alone know it how necessary it is to bring a light to men, because very many walk along in darkness of spirit and are therefore blind guides of the blind …._>Amen

Fight of the prince of darkness against light ….

B.D. 8662 from November 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

That again and again the wall of faith is shaken is not allowed to surprise you, My servants on earth, because My opponent will fight against truth more and more furiously and seek to put out the light, through which his true nature is revealed. You are not allowed to forget that he knows how short his time still is, and that is why his work is particularly frightening; that is why he will seek to intervene everywhere and disguise himself with the garment of an angel of light; he will as it were appear as a servant chosen by Me to lead men astray who believe in his calling. You have no idea where you can find him everywhere, for he sneaks in where only an existing error gives him the opportunity …. Where error is, is also his area, and there he can rule men and lead them deeper and deeper into error. You men can protect yourselves against it when you just devote yourselves to Me intimately, when you entrust yourselves to Me and ask for protection from him. But often you yourselves do not recognize the danger; you think to be standing high above error and yet are spiritually blinded, because exactly this overestimation of oneself is already spiritual arrogance, which offers the adversary the best possibility to slip in …. Again and again I call out to you all: Be alive in your faith …. don’t flatten yourselves and don’t let ‘worship’ become a habit which suffocates all life, for this is the great danger of those who believe themselves called to be leaders of their fellow human beings, that they themselves satisfy all forms and are inwardly far removed from the right, living bond with Me, which only gives them the right to count themselves as My sheep, who then also hear My voice and recognize it as the father’s voice. Know it that I demand a living faith from every single man, that I do not let Myself be satisfied with a dead faith …. but that the inner living connection with Me must be established in the quiet chamber, that no public events are necessary for this, because these will again only reduce the devotion, but not increase it, as you wrongly assume it. “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them ….” Remember this promise, and shut yourselves off completely from the world, and only when you preach to them the gospel of love, then gather your congregation around you, but refrain from all outward acts and customs, and seek only to establish an intimate relationship with Me …. the relationship of a child with its father …. and truly, then I Myself will be with you and guide your thoughts correctly, and you will also recognize truth as truth but error as error. Do not fall into states of ecstasy; be sober and always only turned towards Me in intimate love, and truly, you will then also work for the blessing of all those to whom you bring My gospel. But beware of being at My adversary’s beck and call when he demands that you refrain from demonstrating love. Then you will always recognize him as the exit, who is the enemy of all life and who wants to prevent that you find back to Me, because you can only unite with Me again through love …. Therefore everything love impels you to do must correspond to My will and be blessed by Me …. If therefore a restriction is imposed on you men in love activity, if you are hindered in prayer for the deceased or for your fellowmen, then you know from whom these regulations or teachings start, and then you also know that he still controls you when you comply with his desire …. After all, it must be obvious and clear to you that no restriction will ever be imposed on you from Me in your activity of love, and every loving, intercessory thought will be pleasing to Me and have an effect as strength which the being receives to which the loving request is directed …. Should you men therefore bypass this most important commandment of love, then you must nevertheless clearly recognize who stands behind it, who presents such false teachings to you, and you must defend yourselves against him and his influence, by you joining yourselves all the more closely to Me, Who will truly also protect you from him. But know that you men yourselves allow him his work because you have already become too closely associated with him. You allow him too many rights over you, and he makes good use of them, so that you now can detach yourselves from him with difficulty. But powerless is he against love …. Live a life of love yourselves, prove your unselfish love for your neighbour, always carry all those in need on earth and in the beyond in loving intercession, and the adversary will no longer be able to approach you, for he is powerless against love …. Yet do not fear him, since I am also his lord, but intimately hand yourselves over to Me, and in the bond with Me the complete detachment from the one who is My and your adversary will also take place …._>Amen

Task to spread the truth ….

B.D. 8663 from November 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The spiritual wealth you own also commits you to passing it on, and since it is My will that you spread the truth I will also always bless your efforts. Therefore, don’t allow yourselves to be discouraged by obstacles or difficulties which My adversary will always put in your way, for if I promise you My blessing My adversary’s activity will be futile. I only want you to trust Me completely, I do not want you to undertake anything without having appealed for My blessing and My help …. I don’t want you to forget Whom you are working for, because you are not doing earthly work when you try to spread the truth …. it is the fulfilment of the task I gave you Myself, and even if you work in a more or less earthly way, you will nevertheless only undertake it with the support of spiritual forces which may influence you in My name in every sort of work you do for Me and My kingdom. For time and again I say to you that people urgently need light …. Even if only a few ever desire it, but even these few can be effective in their circle, and you will be surprised where the truth from Me will shine to, you will notice the strangest correlations and be happy that you were able to contribute towards the fact that people receive light. And even though My guidance is obvious, people must nevertheless be at work so that everything proceeds within the framework of natural progression and no person is compelled into believing, yet always shows the love, wisdom and power of a God and Creator. However, you, My servants, shall also experience My love and care time after time, for every good Caretaker looks after his labourers. But I also regard My labourers as My children and I will not withhold anything they need from them. Just hand yourselves over to My Fatherly care, give yourselves to Me completely and, truly, I will guide you wherever you go, I will bless your work for Me and My kingdom and make sure it is successful. You should always know that I need you, for people must carry out what I deem to be good and successful, but due to people’s free will I cannot work visibly Myself since it must be left up to people as to whether or not they want to accept the truth from Me which is offered to them by you. Nevertheless, they are in urgent need of this pure truth, and therefore I repeatedly try to attract faithful co-workers, and they can be assured of My Fatherly blessing ….

Amen

The embodied light beings' willingness to help ….

B.D. 8664 from November 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Believe Me that people would be in dire straights during the last days before the end if I did not continually send messengers of light to earth to bring them light and strength directly from Me and thus contribute towards saving at least those people who have not yet entirely handed themselves over to My adversary. These messengers of light consequently fight against the prince of darkness by exposing the misconceptions which people adhere to, by bringing them the light of truth and thereby also illuminating the path of return to Me into their Father’s house. There has to be an activity of strong counteracting forces, for the adversary’s power is great given that people concede to this power themselves with their wrong attitude towards Me, their God and Creator of eternity. They are living in his realm and constantly move in spiritual darkness. My kingdom, however, is the kingdom of light and bliss, and from this kingdom helpful beings of light, motivated by their love towards the wretched, avail themselves to Me to descend to earth in order to help them still find the way back before the end. And since they are only impelled by love for this work of redemption, I accept it and place them where there is a possibility of success, where they are then lovingly active, both earthly as well as spiritually.

For now they are living as human beings amongst human beings and thus …. although their souls are already fully mature …. also have to fit in with people. Consequently they do not stand out in any special way but live like everyone else, often in underprivileged circumstances. Yet they will never need to suffer adversity, because they work as My servants on earth and, like a good Master, I will also always take care of all their earthly needs on their behalf. Nevertheless they are not conspicuously noticeable in their environment, yet every believer can recognise them by their unusual mission. For they serve Me as bearers of light, as bearers of truth, which they can receive directly from Me and pass on to their fellow human beings. Only the pure truth can still bring salvation to those people who still live in complete error, in spiritual darkness, and who are therefore at greatest risk of getting lost. For you humans are unable to assess in what danger humanity finds itself during these last days before the end. And this motivates Me to send messengers of light to earth which, as human beings, will then do their utmost to work on My behalf on earth to prevent people from becoming subject to compulsory faith. These bearers of light might well sense where they are coming from as soon as they, as people, receive revelations from Me in order to be able to fulfil their mission …. For they will soon recognise their fellow human beings’ spiritually low level and their hopelessness of ever attaining the light of truth unless they receive special help …. And since they themselves will be guided into the knowledge of all correlations by Me through the conveyance of the Word, they will also know that they have come from a different sphere for the sake of a mission.

And yet, I shall keep their origin concealed until they have reached a specific degree of maturity as human beings which, however, they will only attain just before the end of their physical life, for it is irrelevant for the human being’s mission which spirit has embodied itself in him, since all beings of light offering themselves to live on earth for the salvation of people are spirits of love which are close to My heart, and My love to all My living creations is so profound that I on My part do not apply any classification, as is always the case with limited thinking …. You humans, however, harbour this wish to know about your previous existence, and then I Am occasionally motivated by your love to give you small hints, providing you interpret these indications correctly …. For in My kingdom are countless beings with the same degree of love whose characteristics …. even though every individual being is self-aware …. correspond to a great original spirit again, precisely because of their greater than great love …. And I also embrace these again with My love and Am present to them on earth in order to support them in their spiritual mission, which is urgently needed because humanity has reached such a spiritually low level that only the pure truth can help it ascend again which you, My messenger, shall receive directly from Me and pass on, so that the error can be recognised …. so that there shall be light on earth, so that I Myself shall be recognised by people in My whole Being …. For it is precisely this realisation which My opponent tries to suppress in order to prevent people from looking for and finding the path to Me …. For anyone who recognises Me in My infinite love, unsurpassable wisdom and overwhelming might will also strive towards Me, and he will be saved from a repeated fall into the abyss ….

Amen

Confession in the struggle of faith ….

B.D. 8665 from November 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You all continue to experience My great love and grace when you allow yourselves to be addressed by Me …. You, who receive My word directly, and also all of you, who accept this My word from My messengers, who recognize it as the voice of your father from eternity, you can never ever get lost, as soon as your heart receives My words and you seek to obey My will, which you recognize through My word. You all do not know in which flow of favour you stand, that My opponent cannot dare to approach you as long as you stand in contact with Me, as long as you read My word and stand under its effect. And that is why you all can praise yourselves happily, who are directly or indirectly addressed by Me, because so long you are also intimately connected with Me, and that always means influx of spiritual power, which your body certainly feels less, but the soul all the more and it will mature in earth life. A process, to which I have already pointed out during My earth walk, now takes place, and many men do not want to believe that it is possible to stand in direct communication with Me, so that My voice is audible …. And so long these people are also still outside of My divine flow of grace, although they believe to be able to create advantages for their souls through a so-called divine service …. But only conscious contact with Me will ever earn the soul this advantage, and then the human being will also hear My word …. even in the places where it is usually offered …. But that conscious intimate contact ensures man that he also hears My address in the sermons, which are held in the usual way. Because I will direct his thoughts so that only truth touches him and he remains completely untouched by erroneous spiritual material. But My word directly conducted to earth is a gift of favour of inestimable value …. And still it is only accepted and recognized by few men as voice of the father. But I know about the hearts of men; I know about their maturity of soul, about their willingness to hear My word, and that is why I can also send My pure word to all those to grant them the help in the last time before the end, which they need to stand firm in the last faith struggle. Because then it will prove how deeply the man stands in truth, because this alone will give him the power to hold out …. And there will not be many, because only truth carries the power in itself, which man needs to stand firm when his confession is demanded …. He who stands in error gives up everything, for his faith in Me is a dead faith that never confesses Me in Jesus and My work of redemption …. And when you now know that an abundance of favour is sent to you through My word from above, then you can praise yourselves happily to be allowed to take part in an act of love and mercy, which gives you knowledge, which conveys purest truth to you and which makes you able to assert yourselves in the coming difficult time, because you are constantly supplied with power by Me, as soon as you listen to My word and sink into it. Then you truly draw from the source of all power; I Myself flood through you …. And whether you lose or have to do without earthly goods, you are nevertheless much richer than your fellow human beings, for you possess imperishable goods …. Your intimate bond with Me earns you spiritual possessions which no-one can take away from you, and no matter how hard earthly powers press you, they will not be able to push Me away from you, and where I am the adversary has lost his power. Grasp the fact that you are in contact with Me Myself …. understand that this process certainly appears unusual because the majority of people do not know that such is possible …. but that all of you, who hear My word directly or indirectly, can no longer deny this process and that a bright light has been kindled for you, in the glow of which you will find the path to Me and no longer need to fear a wrong path. You can gain insight into spiritual secrets, into My plan of salvation from eternity, and the understanding has been opened to you for much, which before caused you to ask questions. You can attain a living faith because you were always taught love through My word and because love only made you worthy to hear My word, because love only opened up the understanding for you …. For I can only address those people who shape themselves through love such that My love can also become effective in them …. My word will only ever touch hearts when they are opened to My illumination of love through a life of love, but then the human being will be in the midst of a grace-filled experience, and he will safely reach his aim on earth: unification with Me, Who am love Myself from eternity …._>Amen

Only love helps to knowledge and bliss ….

B.D. 8666 from November 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You humans cause Me Myself to express My love, as soon as you show Me your love and thereby force Me to be present to you, because I am love Myself …. And then My presence must also secure My constant illumination of love for you, for through your love you relinquish all resistance and My love can become effective in you. But the effect of My love illumination is that you penetrate into deepest knowledge, that you win knowledge, which indeed rests in all of you, but is closed to your intellect so long, until love illuminates your thinking and you then are able to grasp knowledge in all clarity, which is unknown to you before and also incomprehensible. All spiritual progress, all light which shines to your soul, is the result of your love for Me …. which is expressed in works of unselfish neighbourly love …. With every work of love you draw Me Myself to you; I do not resist love, because to win your love is also My happiness, because love wants to give itself away, and through your love I therefore can give Myself away and therefore make you immensely happy with spiritual gifts, which you only need to accept out of My hand. My last aim is your return to Me, which can only take place through love …. As soon as you now work in love, you come closer to Me step by step; through love the unification with Me takes place, and the original state occurs again, in which you were intimately connected to Me and My love power could radiate into you unhindered. In this state you were therefore radiated through with light, i.e., nothing was hidden to you, you saw through everything, all connections were clear to you, and this deepest knowledge, the knowledge about Me Myself, about My nature, My rule and work, made you deeply happy …. thus you were blissfully happy, and this bliss knew no limit …. That you changed this perfect state yourselves, that you rejected My radiation of light of love, had its reason in the fact that the knowledge of your perfection was given to you through the influence of the highest being visible to you …. Lucifer …. led you to arrogance, that you believed that you did not need Me …. because not visible to you and joined that visible being which drew you down into the abyss …. for rejecting My illumination of love also meant that the illumination of love was no longer effective on you due to your resistance …. So you lost all light, all knowledge and also all power, which once let you become creatively active and made you happy …. But now, after an endless long walk from the deepest depth to the height, you have again arrived in the state where you are free to request My love and are also allowed to receive it without restriction, yet this is your own free matter of will …. And you will now understand that I …. Who longs for your love because you came forth from My love …. am always ready to radiate towards you again, but this can only happen if you yourselves show love towards Me …. You yourselves therefore also determine the degree of love which shines upon you; you yourselves as man are able to do compulsion to Me, which I cannot resist when you devote yourselves to Me in love, because then I must be present to you, then I can no longer close Myself to you when you open yourselves that My ray of love can fall into your hearts. And I gladly let this compulsion be done to Me, because I long for the return of My children to be able to make them happy again as in the beginning. Because My nature is love, but love wants to give itself away; it wants to draw you to Me for ever; it wants that you reach your perfection again, what is only possible when you again get into the possession of light and power …. Light and strength are again the effect of My illumination of love, so that love is everything and without love there is no happiness …. From My side truly no restriction is imposed on you, if only you yourselves prove your love to Me, by you practicing unselfish neighbourly love; then I Myself can be with you in every work of love, and My presence must also have a happy effect. And so also the degree of light will always increase; you will again be able to understand My rule and work; deepest wisdoms will be made accessible to you, and you will be led out of the state of imperfection; all inadequacies will fall off you, and the aim …. the change of a creature to a child …. you will certainly reach; you will come closer and closer to My father heart, because your love draws Me and I am powerless against love, because it is My original element …. But you, too, were the same in your nature when you came forth from Me, and you must also assume the same original nature again …. And I will help you until you have reached the aim and you can intimately unite with Me through love, because love urges love and most intimate union also guarantees highest beatitude …._>Amen

Jesus as a human being knew of His mission ….

B.D. 8667 from November 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The earthly path of the human being Jesus was exceedingly sorrowful …. His pure soul found itself in an impure and dark environment and experienced this environment as torment, on account of which the child Jesus was never able to be cheerful, although He was not yet conscious of the mission the soul itself had offered to carry out …. From time to time the light of His soul’s true nature burst through indeed, then My spirit expressed itself through Him, so that he already performed miracles as a child, which only could be accomplished by a being of purest light in possession of abundant strength and light …. Yet this only happened now and then in order that the people in His neighbourhood should believe in His mission ….

And even these remarkable expressions of strength troubled the boy Jesus as soon as He had regained His natural human frame of mind but they also impelled Him into ever more heartfelt contact with Me, His eternal God and Father, Whom He loved with all His heart, which therefore joined Him ever more to Me so that My love, too, permeated Him ever more until the moment came when He, in the brightest light of love, recognised His task …. until He realised that He was meant to deliver His fallen brothers, until He became aware of the complete act of Salvation and He saw before Him the arduous path to the cross He should take if He so wanted …. His path of suffering was shown to Him in every detail, the knowledge of which darkened His soul and filled it with fear from which only His burning love for the wretched living creations helped Him escape again …. Yet He had to struggle with the decision to voluntarily take the path to the cross, He had to be willing to shoulder humanity’s every gilt of sin and render such an agonising act of atonement for it that it surpassed all human imagination. For Jesus had not been destined by My will to make this sacrifice on the cross, rather, His soul had voluntarily offered itself to bring the lost children back to Me. For this purpose it lived life on earth as a human being and then had to struggle to make this decision again as a human being, because free will was decisive again too, for I would never have destined a human being to make such a sacrifice of atonement against his will, because only a sacrifice made by love was able to redeem the original sin of the fallen beings. And the sacrifice not only involved the act of crucifixion, the days of most bitter physical suffering and humiliation inflicted on the human being Jesus by My adversary’s vassals, but His whole earthly life was a path to the cross, because His soul suffered indescribably, having descended from the kingdom of light into the kingdom of darkness.

And Jesus very soon knew the cause and purpose of his descent to earth and this knowledge burdened the ‘human being Jesus’ beyond all measure, so that He undeniably travelled the path across earth as a human being yet the pleasures of earthly life were denied to Him, which every human being enjoying his earthly life was usually allowed to take pleasure in with impunity …. For His life was constantly overshadowed by the events ahead of Him which …. since He was merely human …. constantly frightened Him and never let Him be cheerful …. Only in his refuge with Me did He find peace and strength and then, due to his ever-increasing love, His will to make the sacrifice grew constantly stronger too, and He carried the heavy burden of earthly life consciously and only ever endeavoured to do My will and help His fellow human beings …. And this also steadily increased His strength enabling Him to work miracles and thereby helping his fellow human beings who needed His help. Yet His mission before the actual act of Salvation consisted of preaching the Gospel to people, of proclaiming My will to them and of admonishing and encouraging them into leading a loving and righteous way of life …. He brought people the truth which had not been recognised for a long time already and which had to be imparted to people in all purity again in order to induce them into a right way of living, so that His act of Salvation would then also be correctly understood and accepted by people who made the effort to live a life of love.

He led the way which all should follow if they wanted to return to the kingdom of light, to Me, and who would be able to do so after Jesus had redeemed the original sin through His death on the cross. This act of mercy by Jesus had such enormous consequences that you cannot receive enough clarification about it. Time and again the knowledge of it will be truthfully conveyed to you, for you should not just see in Jesus the human being Whose life was prematurely terminated by other people, but you should recognise His great mission, for Jesus’ act of Salvation is of such immense significance for you humans that it is imperative for you to accept it if you ever want to escape the kingdom of darkness and be admitted into the kingdom of light. And you will only accept it if you are instructed of it absolutely truthfully, which always happens through My spirit which alone guides you into every truth ….

Amen

Reception and understanding of the divine word requires love ….

B.D. 8668 from November 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Anyone who has the grace to receive proof of the direct connection with God …. who is allowed to take possession of His word directly conveyed from above to earth, anyone who has this proof in that he feels himself addressed by the father, can no longer get lost for ever, for since he recognizes the father’s voice he belongs to His sheep, which the good shepherd will never ever let fall into the hands of His enemy …. You humans cannot value this grace highly enough, to be addressed by the father Himself, for then you will already have passed the test of will, which consists of voluntarily turning to Him, otherwise you would neither be able to hear His word nor understand the word conveyed to you through messengers, for both require your complete devotion to Him, it requires the acknowledgement of your God and creator, Whom you once denied this acknowledgement. You can therefore already on earth beatify yourselves when this exceedingly great gift of favour is brought to you because it would be empty and meaningless for you when your will would still be completely set against God. Then you would laugh at His word and never be able to recognize its value. And the fact that you recognize it as ‘God’s word’ proves a certain degree of maturity of your soul, which has almost reached its aim and still needs to cover a short distance until the death of its body in order to then be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss ….. But why is not every person able to recognize the father’s word? Why does not every person feel addressed to whom it is conveyed by messengers who seek to spread the truth everywhere on God’s behalf ….? It is the lack of love which also means a lack of spiritual understanding …. The human being is the being which once turned away from God in free will and which therefore also rejected all illumination of love on God’s part. After an endless long walk through the works of creation on earth it now enters this earth as man and is completely devoid of all love, because it rejected it and against its will the soul also cannot be illuminated. Nevertheless it possesses the ability to love through the God spark associated with the soul and therefore only needs to let its will become active to ignite the divine love spark in it …. Then it unites with God again and can again be illuminated by His fatherly love and now also comes to a certain degree of maturity where the ‘word of God’ is familiar to it, where it touches it and it recognizes the father’s voice again …. which, however, is never possible without love. And therein lies the reason for the rejection of the divine word, which is directly conveyed from above to earth, for people are unloving …. Love has grown cold, the divine spark is rarely ignited in the heart because people lack the will to do so, whereas the ability cannot be denied to any human being. But the will is free, it cannot be forced, and people’s lower degree of maturity is the reason that the word from above …. divine revelations …. are mostly rejected and only few people accept them happily, whose state of maturity is already higher due to love, who possess the ability to recognize divine wisdom and also make use of it by spreading the truth, by seeking to live out the word themselves and thereby attain ever brighter light …. But that you humans possess an invaluable gift of grace when you accept the word of God, which is offered to you directly by Him, you may believe. You only have to make the right use of the gift by withdrawing the power from it yourselves, with which the father has blessed His word, and by you also offering the treasure of favour to your fellowmen to make them happy, as also you were made happy by the father. All people should only establish the right relationship with Him, they should turn to Him like children and appeal to Him for strength and grace for their earthly way of life …. And truly, they would come to realize, they would kindle and nourish the flame of love within themselves and soon also be receptive to His word, for only love gives them understanding, only through love does the union with the father take place, which then also results in His word. And that is why His word also teaches predominantly love …. For if the human being has love then he has everything …. He receives light and strength, and then he also walks his earthly way as man with success …._>Amen

Love degree is measure of truth ….

B.D. 8669 from November 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

It is My will that the human being should live in love …. because love is the fundamental principle of a divine being and because you humans are to become divine beings again, as which I created you in the beginning. If you fulfil this will of Mine then you will also be obedient children who do not want to grieve the father, who gladly submit to His will, who no longer want anything else like Me, because then they will also have My will in them and can no longer sin …. Love is everything what I demand of you, because then all spiritual blindness softens from you, then you will also always recognize what is worth knowing for you and what helps you that your soul matures. You can believe it that you then also can no longer fall prey to error because love, which fills you, also gives you a clear recognition what has taken its start from Me and what from My opponent. Because love awakens the spirit to life, which rests in you as important part of Myself and which will always impart the right knowledge to you. You men could therefore no longer walk along in error when you would lead a love life …. But if you still think erroneously then you lack love …. You must take this to heart if you ever want to come into possession of pure truth. You will not recognize the truth as such as long as the degree of love still leaves something to be desired …. Because lack of love means darkness; it means lack of knowledge, therefore spiritual blindness, which can only be remedied through a life of love, through unselfish neighbourly love, through overcoming of self-love, which is never divine, but part of My opponent. Again and again the commandments of love are preached to you and again and again the effect of a love life and the terrible consequences of a loveless way of life are presented to you. But as long as you do not take this to heart, you will walk in error, and no matter how eagerly you believe to be in the ‘service for the lord’ …. which has no value before Me, where a life of love is not the proof that man moves in right, true thinking. The fellow human being should never accept what an unloving person tries to impart to him …. especially when it touches spiritual things which absolutely require a life of love if they are to correspond to truth. The preacher must live in love, but a life of love is also a prerequisite for understanding a sermon. And a right love must express itself in works; it cannot only be assured through words, because love is power, and every power will have an effect. That is why a spiritual connection with Me can only ever be established through loving activity, then the flow of grace of My love will also flow inexorably into the human being, and then a change in his nature will take place, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life …. Then man does not live his life in vain; it brings him perfection …. because the being once gave love voluntarily, and voluntarily it must practice love again to now also be able to be illuminated by Me again, what also helps it to the last perfection, so that it can unite with Me again, as it was the case in its original state. If you men would nevertheless hold up to yourselves the great importance of a love life, then you would also recognize how far fellowmen move in truth, if you only apply the standard to love. You are certainly not to condemn them but seek to help them …. But then you also know what you are allowed to accept from them …. whether truth or error is offered to you, for without love man cannot move in truth …. But love guarantees right thinking, and only a man standing in love is therefore entitled to teach, because I Myself can have an effect in this, I Who am love Myself. But a loving person will never accept or spread error because I Myself prevent him from doing so, for he is already Mine as soon as he has united himself with Me through a life of love, as I have promised with the words: ‘He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ….” Therefore truth must also be there, because I, truth and love are one …. But whether a man lives in love, that you know by his works, whether they are done in all unselfishness only for the neighbour’s good or for help or are always only works, which show self-love or calculation …. Then you also have to be on your guard to accept instructions from that one, because then no truth is guaranteed yet, which starts from Me Myself, Who can only ever be there where true love is to be found …._>Amen

The original debt could not be redeemed by the being itself ….

B.D. 8670 from November 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Through endless long times you had to endure torments for which you lack any concept …. And yet, these torments were not enough to erase the great original sin you had committed by falling away from Me …. through the conscious rebellion against Me …. This sin was not to be blotted out by yourselves, even if eternities were to pass, because you began it …. as you have often been told …. in a state of brightest realization, thus you were able to recognize Me Myself as loving God and creator even though I was not visible to you …. as well as being aware of the fact that you yourselves had come forth from Me …. that you were therefore the same as your creator from eternity and had called love into being for you …. You therefore went against love, you rejected love, which however was your primal element …. You lost everything divine and consciously turned away from Me …. Had you been somehow deficiently formed then your sin would not have been so immeasurably great, but precisely your perfection, which was inherent in you as divine creatures, also let you recognize what you did …. and yet you committed this sin, and the consequence of it was the fall into the abyss, the consequence was the hardening of the spiritual substance, because My love radiation was missing and this substance was now completely incapable of activity, thus it succumbed to death. You knew what you were doing and yet did not shrink from turning against Me …. against the eternal love …. And this guilt was immeasurable and could never be atoned for by the being itself, but it was cause for complete turning away from Me, for a separation, which could no longer be cancelled on the part of the guilty. Only the circumstance that that spiritual that fell away from Me was once emanated power by Me …. thus My part …. caused Me to find and initiate a way which brought My creatures back to Me. For the first time this was the way through creation, that is, the slow awakening to life of the dead, powerless beingness which was not conscious of itself. But this way was not enough, for even if the torments are unthinkable for you men, they were nevertheless no adequate atonement for the great guilt …. But I did not want to give up anything of what was My portion …. And therefore a work of atonement was necessary, which outweighed the exceeding great guilt of sin …. The beings once were blissful and gave up their bliss …. Thus, in order to redeem this great guilt, a being had to voluntarily take the guilt upon Itself, thus, in turn, surrender Its beatitude, yet It did not reject love in defiance but sacrificed Its beatitude out of love for the fallen being, It had to voluntarily take upon Itself an unhappy fate solely for the purpose of helping Its fallen brothers to beatitude. It had to voluntarily divest Itself of light and strength, as those beings had also done …. yet not as a result of lack of love, but as a result and effect of an excessive love …. This being had to take torments and pains upon Itself as man, which were superhuman; It had to let a work come to execution in Itself, which those once fallen beings accomplished through impulse of My opponent at this man. And His great love also requested for these executioner servants the forgiveness of their guilt …. And that man was Jesus, a being of light, which was devoted to Me in all love, which became a cover for Me on earth, in which I Myself could take abode and which I could fill with My love power, so that I therefore embodied Myself in the man Jesus and accomplished the work of redemption in Him. For only love Itself could redeem that guilt, Which only made use of a human form, to which a highest spirit out of the heavens gave life to take upon Itself as man the agonies, which I Myself as God could not suffer …. He and I therefore united completely because I as love from eternity took abode in Him and His human body now offered itself as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind …. However it is explained to you, you can never fully grasp this My becoming man in Jesus as long as you yourselves still walk over earth as man. But you should know and understand one thing that you will remain eternally separated from Me if you do not accept Jesus’ act of salvation, if you do not acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus as your God and father, Who has endured unspeakable suffering in a human form because He wanted to redeem the original sin and enable the fallen beings to return to the father. Why this guilt of apostasy from Me was so great that an own atonement is impossible, that you will also only recognize once you also recognize My immense love in the state of perfection, against which to rebel is the greatest sin a being can ever commit …. And only love Itself could redeem this guilt. And eternal love Itself also did this in the man Jesus, Who therefore also has to be acknowledged as God’s son and redeemer of the world, in Whom God Himself became man …._>Amen

Wretchedness is the fault of free will alone ….

B.D. 8671 from November 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

No being gets lost forever. But it can be separated from Me for eternities, thus be in an unhappy state without Me, and you humans lack the understanding for the term ‘eternities’ …. But once you will surely return to Me …. For I would not be a God of love, wisdom and power if I only wanted to leave one being to My adversary, whose lord I am and who is also a being that has emerged from Me, which will likewise return to Me …. The idea of men therefore …. which is especially represented in the various ecclesiastical organisations …. that a man is eternally condemned by Me, is erroneous, because it contradicts My nature, you then imagine a God of vengeance, you measure with human yardstick, and you concede more power to My adversary, you regard him as an equal opponent of Mine, who through his power can completely snatch the souls from Me, while he himself is nevertheless also My creature, whom I …. despite his greatest guilt …. not destroy, but also lift him up from the depths to Me one day …. You therefore make a wrong idea for yourselves, and as long as you still do not recognize Me right, you will also not show Me the love, which I long for from you and which unites you again with Me. Again and again I emphasize that all harm, all wretchedness, all pain and suffering of people and also of all creatures, must not be attributed to Me Myself …. they must not be regarded as punishment on My part, but you yourselves prepare all these conditions for yourselves through your sinfulness …. be it the sins in earthly life or be it the original sin which burdens every person who does not allow himself to be redeemed through Jesus Christ …. Everything that the creature has to endure in suffering and misery, every unhappiness, is its own fault. It has put itself into this state of suffering through its past or present guilt, and no being can make Me responsible, Who is love in My original being and only does everything or lets it happen what helps you again out of the state of misery, which you have created for yourselves …. You yourselves therefore also determine the time of your wretchedness, for from Me you can return to Me at any time, you can change yourselves at any time so that you would be free of all wretchedness …. But you can also prolong your state of suffering and therefore remain in it for eternities if this is your will. For it is up to you yourselves whom you choose as lord, the one who makes you wretched or Me, Who would like to make you unspeakably happy with My love. But that you once certainly return to Me, that is also based on My love, because love gives up nothing; love does not rest until it has united with the object of its love. But My wisdom also recognizes on which way it reaches this return to Me; My wisdom knows the right means, and My love applies them and will also once be able to record the right success. You men can now certainly make a difference between happiness and wretchedness, and you can step out of the state of wretchedness, but as long as your will, which is free, does not strive for this, you must also bear your lot; but you can also never say that I have imposed this lot upon you, because you alone prepare it for you, and you alone can also free yourselves from it. For as once divine creatures you possess the free will, which I leave to you …. I only bound it for a certain time for your own benefit …. that you became free from the adversary’s fetters (and) because I helped you up again from the abyss so that you could now strive for and pursue the return to Me again yourselves in free will, which is now to happen as a human being …. But how you now use this opportunity is again up to you, but now you have the possibility to put an end to the time of wretchedness, which you can call ‘eternities’. You can now become free from the fetter of the adversary; you can now exchange the state of wretchedness with an immeasurably blissful state, but which will then no longer come to an end, which lasts forever. It is therefore you yourselves who are responsible for the fate which you endure; you yourselves created this for yourselves, and you can end it, what again your free will has to do that you strive towards the right aim, because only your will is necessary that you also receive the power for it, that you change your nature again to your original being and you then can also look back and see that you were separated from Me for eternities, but now remain eternally intimately united with Me …._>Amen

Cause of Lucifer's apostasy from God ….

B.D. 8672 from November 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

When I called miniatures of Myself into being I was motivated to do so by My infinite love which wanted to give itself away, which wanted to create vessels for itself in order to flow into them …. My love demonstrates itself as strength, and this strength wanted to be creatively active, and thus My creations …. because My strength flowed into these vessels …. likewise had to be creatively active again, for these beings, as images of Myself, had the same intrinsic creative urge which impelled the constantly inflowing strength into activity again, because the strength which emanated from Me as the primary source of strength constantly created life. And thus you will understand that all beings which had come forth from Me were in a state where they knew no restriction in the creation of manifold works, which made them blissfully happy …. but that they, like Me, were not subjected to any restriction either, for My love was infinite, and thus My strength of love flowed into all beings in order to give them pleasure.

Neither did the being’s creative activity ever come to a standstill, because My strength had no limitation, it will never spend itself, it will always and forever flow, and thus new creations will eternally arise, just as all My once emanated beings will receive My unlimited strength for creating and shaping as long as they open themselves to Me, i.e., as long as they do not resist My illumination of love. And this blissful state truly would never have needed to end because I, for My part, would never have imposed a restriction on the beings and thus they never needed to fear a lessening of strength either. And yet a change occurred in the beings’ greater than blissful state …. caused by a situation which the beings considered to be imperfect: the fact that I Myself, their God and Creator, was not visible to them as a being like themselves, that they indeed knew of Me as their Father from Whom they had originated, but because I did not visibly present Myself to them they looked at it as a limitation of My perfection. They began to entertain wrong thoughts since they did not openly raise this question with Me Myself, which I would have answered so that they could have realised and corrected their wrong notion ….

But they believed they could conceal these inner doubts about My perfection, and yet I knew of them …. However, I did not use coercion but gave their thoughts free rein which they nevertheless misused …. For they also recognised the same doubts about My perfection in the first being I had externalised and whose beauty radiated in supreme brilliance …. For eternities this being had given Me all its love indeed, and in this love it was exceedingly happy and shared My will …. even though its will was also free.

Yet now and then small doubts arose even in this brightly radiating being because it could not see Me either. Nevertheless, time and again its great love for Me suppressed the emerging doubts, and it gave itself to Me finding its beatitude in constantly creating same-natured beings by means of its will and the use of My strength. Yet this doubt about Me kept emerging and he, too, did not put it to Me, which he could have done …. He nourished the doubt so that it became increasingly stronger and reduced his love for Me …. But thereby he also weakened himself since his reduced love for Me also lessened My flow of love and thus restricted his creative activity as well.

Had he been able to see Me it would not have been possible for him to turn away from Me, yet the fire of My love would have consumed him, for no created being is able to look into the primal fire of My love without ceasing to exist …. He knew it, too, because he possessed supremely enlightened awareness, yet he played with the thought to be greater than Me because he radiated in brightest light and supremely perfected beauty …. He could not imagine any being to exceed him in light and beauty, and therefore he also claimed the right to rule over all created beings, whom he undoubtedly had created but the strength to do so he had received from Me. He now saw his power in the host of the spiritual beings and therefore believed himself able to do without My strength, he believed that he had withdrawn it from Me through the creation of the countless beings, and the fact that I did not visibly present Myself to him was regarded by him as evidence of My powerlessness ….

And I did not disillusion him because I had externalised him as a completely free being which I will never ever compel into changing its will and its thinking …. even if he keeps his distance from Me for eternities. Now My strength met with opposition and resistance, and consequently it remained completely ineffective. And now this, My first-created being, is no longer capable of generating any works of creation, yet it believes itself great and powerful because it looks upon the immense number of spiritual beings as his possession, who, like him, had revolted against Me and rejected My illumination of love …. They, too, are incapable of any activity, because they also moved infinitely far away from Me. But it was their free will, which I respect and thus they will remain distant from Me until they voluntarily approach Me again and appeal to Me for My illumination of love …. Even the first-created being …. My present adversary …. will take the path of return to Me one day, sooner or later he, too, will long for My illumination of love again and voluntarily accept it from Me, because one day he will give up his resistance, even if it takes an eternity …. Yet everything that was once emanated by Me as strength will inevitably return to the eternal source of strength again ….

Amen

True church service requires a Father-child relationship ….

B.D. 8673 from November 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Many people believe that they think and act religiously, but they lack the right attitude towards Me …. They certainly think of Me as their God and Creator, but not as their Father, and thus they do not establish the relationship of a child to its father. As a result they will not confide in Me in prayer either, they only see the distant almighty God in Me to Whom they are subjected as human beings, and Whom they rather fear than love …. because they are still unable to recognise My true nature.

And again it has to be explained that the degree of a person’s love determines his correct attitude towards Me …. that love will recognise the Father, Who is love Himself, and that the human being will then strive for Me with love and call to Me as My child. Only then can one speak of a person’s ‘religious’ way of life, because this way of life will lead back to Me for sure. But as long I Am still a person’s distant God and Creator Who, due to His might, will have to be feared, there is little prospect that the person will approach Me with love. He will merely fulfil, as a matter of formality, things which are demanded of him by his church. He is only motivated by his upbringing to conduct himself accordingly but this will not guarantee a change of his inner being, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life.

Consequently, if you humans experience heavy strokes of fate they are only intended to make you come alive, to forego mere formality and start thinking more about God, Who created you …. to start pondering why you are living on earth, and then voluntarily surrender yourselves to the power to Which you owe your life: because your indifferent attitude about Me will not result in your spiritual advancement …. However, if you seriously want to know what your God and Creator requires of you during your earthly life you are certain to find out. First of all you should ponder the nature of your God and Creator, and the urge to act with love will be aroused in you …. because this is My voice with which I Am speaking to your conscience and initially making Myself known to you.

By following the voice of your conscience you will come closer to Me, and then you will also establish the kind of connection with Me which corresponds to the relationship between a child and its father …. My gentle voice will always direct you towards actions of love which will bring you the light of knowledge and with it an understanding of My nature, Which is Love Itself …. Then you will leave ‘empty formalities’ behind and become alive in your essence and actions. You will no longer perform formal acts but begin to lead a second life next to your earthly life …. You will have set out on the spiritual path, since due to your new life of love you will be inwardly driven towards Me.

And thus you know that everything which tends towards love, is taught by love and is the activity of love, is good and acceptable to Me. For love is the indicator of truth and also the indicator of a person’s spiritual maturity who, as My representative, wants to lead his fellow human beings to Me. As long as he has no love himself, his ‘preaching’ will be without strength too; it will be a formal, lifeless service without benefit to anyone because I Myself Am distant from him, since only idle words are spoken which can never reach My ear. Only the close relationship with Me established through love will make your thinking, willing and actions come alive. Only then will you come to life yourselves, because as long as you are without love you are still dead.

And thus, taking part in a ‘church service’ is always just an external formality, and there can be no question of My presence as long as you humans only believe in a God and Creator but do not find the right attitude towards Me …. First you have to come to the Father as children and trustingly talk to Me, only then can you be sure that I Am close to you. And then your faith will also have come alive, because a ‘child’ will always endeavour to fulfil its Father’s will. It will no longer just comply with external formalities but desire My presence with all its heart, which it will certainly also receive.

I only want you to come alive, to abandon useless habits and customs which you were taught to observe, but which are and remain completely worthless for your soul. You will only be able to love Me when you recognise Me as a Father, and only then will you fulfil the purpose of your life on earth …. Only then can you mature, which is always achieved by love alone ….

Amen

Calling upon the 'Holy Spirit' ….

B.D. 8674 from November 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You humans often call the ‘Holy Spirit’ that it may come upon you, and you are unaware of the fact that it is within you and only requires your free will so as to be able to speak to you …. The spirit is part of Me, it is inseparably connected with the Father-Spirit …. thus it is a divine spark which was added to your soul when it incarnated on this earth as a human being, in other words: you once emerged from Me as an emanation of love and therefore consist of the same fundamental substance as I Myself …. This substance solidified after your past apostasy from Me and you, who once had been full of life, became lifeless beings. For My strength of love permeated you and this strength was only able to be constantly active. However, since you rejected My strength of love it also left you incapable of any kind of activity. And you are still in this weak state when you enter the earth as a human being. In order that you will be able to accomplish the task given to you in your earthly life I radiate a spark of My eternal strength of love into every human heart, which thus is My share again …. You are alive with the once emanated strength and that means that you are in possession of vitality, that you can be active in an earthly way and therefore also comply with your task as a human being …. Your real task, however, is and remains your spiritualisation, the retransformation of your nature into its original state. And you can only accomplish this task if you change yourselves into love …. In order to be able to do that a spark of love has to be radiated into you first, since you, due to your past apostasy from Me, are completely without love. This spark of love is the emanation of Me Myself …. it is the emanation of My spirit into your soul which, however, only awakens you humans into life if you apply your will …. You all possess the spiritual spark, which is part of Me Myself, within you …. Hence it need not come to you anymore, it is inside of you but can only manifest itself if, through a life of love, you provide the possibility for it, because it will not impose itself and influence you against your will in any way …. Therefore you can at all times awaken the spirit in you but you will not be compelled to it.

When you pray for the Holy Spirit to come to you, you demonstrate your lack of knowledge regarding the right correlations, furthermore, you prove that you have a false concept of it, because you personify it to a certain extent and call upon it as an entity …. It is, however, My ’emanation’, for I Myself Am the Holy Spirit of eternity, and I Am present to anyone who calls upon Me. However, you must never think that the spirit you call upon is separate from Me, and it will and cannot comply with your call as long as you do not shape yourselves into love, for even if My strength of love is unlimited it will never be able to radiate into a closed heart, and a heart remains unreceptive as long as it is unwilling to love …. since precisely due to the spiritual spark or spark of love it received from Me it is capable of loving …. Willingness to love, however, prompts the spirit to reveal itself to you, even if you don’t call upon it expressly …. It is within you but will remain silent as long as you disregard love, because it is love itself and therefore can only speak to love. It is inseparably connected to the eternal Father-Spirit, and therefore enables ‘My spirit’ …. or the divine fire of love …. to flow into you humans in abundance and thus cause the spiritual spark to continuously educate you from within; for then divine light of love must also illuminate your hearts and that signifies brightest realisation, it signifies the receiving of knowledge which corresponds to the truth, because My spirit knows everything and can therefore only impart the pure truth to you. Therefore you can only ever pray that I Myself may be present to you, but this also requires you to shape yourselves to love, otherwise the Eternal Love cannot be present to you. You can therefore only pray to be granted the strength to fulfil My commandments, then you will always become aware of My presence, for with every work of love you draw Me close to you because I Am Love Itself …. And then I will also work through My spirit in you, as I have promised you ….

Amen

Question: what would have happened had Adam not failed? ….

B.D. 8675 from November 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I want you to ask questions so that I can instruct you truthfully …. For these questions, too, are placed by Me into your heart because I know what you still need, and I want to give you enlightenment. You humans will find it impossible to understand all spiritual correlations down to the last detail as long as you are not yet so perfected that I can completely permeate you with the light of My love which then will also guarantee you the brightest knowledge. Yet I can already inform you beforehand in relation to your intellectual capacity so that you need not fall prey to wrong thoughts and become receptive to misguided teachings: …. The guilt of the beings’ which had fallen away from Me was immeasurably huge …. However, it primarily consisted of the fact that they no longer wanted to acknowledge Me despite their state of light which clearly revealed their former origin to them. They sinned against Me in spite of better knowledge. Nevertheless, My love for them was so great that I made their return to Me dependent on their full acknowledgement of Myself and the admission of their guilt of having sinned against Me as their God and Father. But it always has to be emphasised that due to their apostasy My adversary had taken possession of the beings and that they were too weak to release themselves from his power …. Only love could give them the strength to free themselves from him …. Love was the only means which rendered the adversary powerless, only love could conquer him …. Yet the beings had voluntarily renounced love, they repelled My illumination of love and thereby were completely at My adversary’s mercy. I, however, gave the first human beings the opportunity to accept love from Me again …. I endowed them with every gift and ability, and they had dominion over the whole earth …. I offered them an infinite measure of love which they merely needed to reciprocate by fulfilling My not too difficult commandment …. By reciprocating My love they, in turn, would have gained a measure of strength with which they could easily have resisted My adversary and released themselves from his bondage, and by fulfilling My will they would also have confessed their past sin …. they would have entered into My will again and every being, living on earth as a human being after them, would have done the same ….

And thus humanity repentantly would have returned to Me within a short time, for Adam’s inherent strength as a result of his right kind of love would have transferred itself onto all his descendants, the complete spiritualization of the once fallen beings would have proceeded swiftly, precisely because the first human beings would have recognised their immense original guilt and through heartfelt love for Me would soon have removed it. For a sin against love …. a sin against Me Myself …. could only be cancelled through love again …. And truly, what I bestowed upon the first human beings when they took possession of the earth should have ignited their love into the brightest blaze …. For I only demanded ‘love’ as an atonement …. which was then …. because Adam and the human generation had failed …. shown to Me by the man Jesus to such an extent that he thereby redeemed the immense guilt …. Only love was able to atone for this guilt. And the first human beings truly could have mustered love, for their surrounding creation offered them incomparable glories which, after the agonizing state of constraint, made them blissfully happy and this beatitude could also have triggered a divine love within themselves, a love which only ever had to give thanks and praise and could have inspired their deeply felt devotion for Me ….

Yet for the sake of testing their will, which previously had been misused, I also had to grant My adversary the right to fight for his followers during their earthly life. And in order to reveal to the first human beings the great danger of a repeated offence against Me I only gave them an easy commandment which they were able to fulfil and had to fulfil if their love for Me was going to be able to reach this said degree which ensured their complete devotion to Me, which totally would have deprived the adversary of his power. He, too, tried everything to bring the first human beings to fall, and thus he opposed My easy commandment with a promise which, however …. because he was My adversary …. consisted of a lie and he impelled the human beings into the wrong kind of love …. He promised them that they would be ‘like God’ if they transgressed My commandment, he portrayed Me as a liar, since I had announced their death if they disobeyed My commandment …. And people believed him, not Me. And this was the repeated grave sin which also placed all descendants into a state of weakness so that they could no longer liberate themselves from the adversary on their own and which subsequently necessitated Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation, if people were to one day be delivered from utmost adversity ….

Time after time I emphasize that only love was able to atone this immense guilt, that Adam would indeed have been able to demonstrate this love to Me but that due to his fall and after his fall no being was capable anymore to muster the kind of love which would guarantee the redemption of the immense original sin …. and that the loving act of redemption therefore had to be accomplished by Me Myself, Who manifested Himself in the human being Jesus ….

Thus the human being Jesus had an abundance of divine love, and in His love He suffered the sacrificial death on the cross, because no human being would have been able to return to Me without this act of Salvation, because My adversary will not release any soul and on its own it is too weak to liberate itself from him …. And because I have known since eternity that the first human being would fail, Jesus …. God’s only begotten Son …. offered Himself for this act of Salvation, and He accomplished it because His love for Me and for all wretched souls was beyond measure ….

Amen

Purification of Christ's spoilt teaching ….

B.D. 8676 from November 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The reason for the present transmission of My Word by which I send the pure truth to earth is the very spoilt teaching that is proclaimed on earth as the doctrine of Christ …. It is no longer the pure Gospel as brought by Me through Jesus to the people …. His Words have been subjected to many changes, a lot is no longer understood properly and much is also misinterpreted …. Over a period of time the Word, which is described as ‘My Word’, has caused differences of opinions which resulted in divisions amongst those who campaigned for the truth of their own points of view …. Words with a spiritual meaning were interpreted in a worldly sense, and people hold on to this tenaciously because they simply cannot understand the spiritual meaning any longer. The result is a structure of faith whose teachings completely diverge from what I Myself brought to the people when I lived on earth …. As a result many people are no longer spiritually approachable at all because their intellect refuses to accept teachings which they regard as obvious error, which has indeed crept into the truth and which is now only upheld as truth by fanatics …. Such a distorted doctrine has to be purified if it is to be of any benefit for people’s souls.

Hence this intention is the basis for My new direct revelation, which can be recognised as divine revelation by every willing person. But only the willing person will accept and acquire the pure truth again, and he will be able to see how and where humanity was moved by misconception until now. However, even this process of transmitting the pure truth …. of correcting misguided teachings …. can only be accomplished in a completely normal way. No unusual signs may decisively or forcefully influence the faith of other human beings …. Consequently, this task is not associated with strange phenomena, the transmission from above takes place in a most natural manner whereby a person hears with his spiritual ear what I Myself tell him and he transcribes My Word as he receives it from Me. Thus there is available evidence now and the person cannot be wrongly accused of confusion, self-deception or a deliberate literary work with the intention of deceiving or startling other people. The process of receiving spiritual messages cannot be denied because there is written evidence for it. And yet every individual human being has the option to accept it as credible or to reject it in order to retain his religious liberty.

However, the misguided spiritual knowledge which has crept into people’s thoughts urgently needs to be examined and exposed as wrong and useless or dangerous for the development of the soul …. Because error can never lead to Me, the eternal truth …. As a result, the majority of people are taking the path which leads away from Me, and these people shall receive clarification, providing they want it and are willing to accept it …. And this task by the person I have chosen will be supported by Me in every way, because it is a necessary work to combat My adversary’s activity, who will always fight the truth by seeking to contaminate it with error in order to prevent people from attaining the light of understanding. Therefore I will indeed bless everyone who contributes to this important work by wanting to spread the spiritual knowledge, conveyed to earth by Me, among his fellow human beings. For truth is a light which should shine for all who want to take the right path to Me, to their Father of eternity, Who can, however, never be found by way of misguided teachings …. For this reason war has to be declared on error, as well as on the one who has brought error into the world. And yet, truth will only gain entry into human hearts where there is a desire for it …. Because this desire proves that they also desire Me Myself and want to become free from the one who would like to keep them in spiritual darkness …. They shall receive the pure truth, and therefore the teaching of Christ as it is currently preached to people shall be cleansed, and My uncontaminated Word shall be made accessible to people once again, so that they can become blessed, because only truth comes from Me and only truth leads back to Me again ….

Amen

Warning about additional foreign teaching material ….

B.D. 8677 from November 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

When you yourselves stand in the favour to be taught by Me directly, then do not let yourselves be misled through fellowmen, who want to teach you and bring something to you, what has not already been sent to you by Me Myself. There is divine truth, and this will never contradict itself, and if you are now instructed through My spirit, you need no additional instructions on the part of fellowmen, and you are also to repel them, so that your thinking does not get into confusion, what is the aim of My opponent, on whose suggestion also the fellowman wants to express himself towards you. You know it …. or it has often already been told to you …. that the fight of darkness against the light already exists for eternities and that it will also still exist for eternities, that again and again My opponent will try to enforce truth with error, and that there is therefore only one guarantee for the possession of pure truth: when you receive it directly from Me or you receive spiritual material through My messengers, which went out from Me directly and is supplied to you unchanged …. As soon as a man values his own intellect too highly and believes that he first has to explain to fellowmen the spiritual material that has gone out from Me, he overestimates himself, and already the opponent finds a slippage into his thinking, and pure truth is endangered. When you know about all connections, when you know in what spiritual darkness consists and who alone stands in the light …. then you also know that the origin of truth can only be with Me Myself, and you should now look for every opportunity to let yourselves be instructed by Me directly, for this happens both directly as well as indirectly when the word directly conveyed to earth is passed on and accepted unchanged …. Then it is always guaranteed that man moves in truth, in right thinking, and then he is to value the spiritual good highly and protect it from every distortion …. And if the fellow human being himself is of the will to move in pure truth, then his thinking will also be guided correctly, and he will never seek to weave in wrong thought material …. which, however, is easily the case if he overestimates his own intellect and takes a purely intellectual stance on the truth conveyed to him …. Then spiritual arrogance can easily lead to that his thinking gets confused and the opponent can influence him to want to teach again for his part, and now also the danger exists that he imparts wrong teaching material, if the receiver does not have such a strong desire for truth that he rejects wrong thought material, that he inwardly fights against it, because I protect his thinking from error. As soon as a man has a strong awareness of validity (need), he wants to be leader in every way, and then he also often presumes to want to impose his own thinking on fellowmen, which however then also cannot correspond to truth, because self-arrogance always gives the opponent shelter. You, who are now directly instructed by Me, you should close your ears if a fellow human being tries to ‘instruct’ you …. For I Myself take it upon Myself to instruct you, and I do not need a human being for this, even if he has an intellect as sharp as it is, and therefore you should only accept what I give to you, for I know if and when your knowledge is to be extended and in what way. You will also mostly feel an inner resistance towards humanly conveyed instructions to you, and then this is always an inner warning which you should heed, for the truth conveyed to you by Me is to be protected from human accessories. For I Myself will not instruct a fellow human being to apply his intellectual thinking where I Myself convey purest truth to earth. But I Myself will seek to fill every gap in knowledge where I consider this necessary, and that is why questions will be raised again and again …. For you are all allowed to ask if you humans are serious about receiving the right answer …. And I Myself will always be prepared to give you the answer so that you can also be certain of its truth. Because you will always have to admit that men can err, but not eternal truth itself. That is why you will always do well to only accept Me Myself as your teacher, for what you possess, who are taught by Me directly, can only be owned by the fellow human being who likewise lets himself be taught by Me directly, who only ever asks Me for purest truth. And this one will therefore also stand in the same thinking with you, and you will not need to be instructed by him, because then there will also be no opposing views between you, but as being in possession of the pure truth from Me …. can establish full agreement. A fellow human being can certainly have great knowledge at his disposal, which he has acquired intellectually, but in order to stand spiritually in the sole truth, not the sharpness of the intellect is enough, but a wide-open heart, into which the light out of Me, the eternal truth, can pour itself …. And where I find such a heart there will also be pure truth, which again only I Myself can expand, according to the degree of maturity of the soul, which must be in most intimate contact with Me in order to now also be directly instructed and initiated by Me into My eternal plan of salvation, in order to now also be able to guide this pure truth there, where hearts open again in love in order to receive the truth …. the light of knowledge …. because only truth leads you humans back to Me from where you once originated …._>Amen

The most important commandment has to be fulfilled: Love ….

B.D. 8678 from November 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You, who want to serve Me, will repeatedly be reminded of the immense spiritual darkness which necessitates My Gospel to be carried into the world, which alone is the true light that can penetrate the darkness providing it is offered in all purity, just as it once originated from Me and is now conveyed to you from above to earth again. For only truth is the true light …. but what became spoilt will only ever intensify the darkness. However, the reason why the darkness is so extensive is because many lies and errors were added to the spiritual knowledge which guaranteed the most brightly shining light when it came forth from Me.

And so it is necessary that people are correctly instructed, that they receive clarification about areas which so far were closed to them or were not truthfully brought to light. It is only important that people change their nature to love, that they overcome their selfish love and change it into selfless neighbourly love …. And this important teaching, the fulfilment of My commandment of love, was placed into the background whereas other teachings came to the forefront and people’s endeavours were pushed in the wrong direction. Commandments are being observed and fulfilled which are utterly immaterial and don’t lead to any kind of advancement for the soul. And love is being put aside which simultaneously means that the light cannot shine brightly, that it only glows faintly …. that people’s realisation, their knowledge of truth, is therefore poor …. that they exist in a spiritually darkened state, that they have an entirely wrong view of life, that they only ever strive for material possessions because no inner light is shining for them, which can only be kindled by love.

If all preachers preached nothing else but love …. if people were only ever encouraged to give up their selfish love and practise selfless neighbourly love …. truly, then they would also live in the light of realisation, they would recognise the irrelevance of earthly commodities, they would establish the right kind of relationship as of a child to its Father, for all this results in selfless, divine love …. Instead people are given misguided teachings, they are obliged to perform deeds and customs which can only be valued as external formalities and can never result into changing the state of the soul, because I only value what results in a living relationship with Me …. and this living bond with Me can only be established through kind-hearted activity. And therefore I will continue sending My messengers into the world to proclaim the Gospel of love to people …. And I Myself will always convey the pure Gospel to you who want to accept it and pass it on …. For by way of divine love, which you ought to practise, you will attain a living faith, you will arrive at the inner certainty that I Am close to you and that you can associate with Me directly. And by way of the light, which was kindled in you by love, you will also receive the kind of knowledge which corresponds to the truth, you will no longer live your earthly life in a blind state but possess truthful knowledge regarding the reason for your life on earth and the goal you are supposed to reach …. hence also regarding the earthly task you ought to fulfil.

And as soon as you know the truth you will also achieve spiritual progress, your earthly life will not be in vain, you will become more and more perfect …. which, however, is only the result of receiving the pure truth from Me. And this is what you much search for and desire, then you will also partake of it …. Then you will always be considered by Me, and then My adversary will have lost all claim on you, as soon as your nature has changed itself into love again, as you were in the beginning ….

Amen

God is the source of light and power from eternity ….

B.D. 8679 from November 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

From Me alone the light goes out, because I alone am the source of light and power from eternity. And everything that exists was created out of My strength and filled with My light, which is the emanation of My infinite love …. And so you can also say love, light and power is one …. love, light and strength have their origin in Me, because I Myself am love, light and strength in My primal element …. But you, too, as My created beings, are the same in your original substance, for My divine strength of love could only emanate the same, which was only formed as a being, because I Myself am also a being Which has a thinking will …. In view of My highest perfection this awareness would crush you, because as a human being or imperfect being you are unable to grasp such, for you voluntarily stepped out of the former perfection in which I created you and are therefore no longer able to grasp that for which highest perfection is required. Your thinking ability is limited; the power of knowledge, as it were, is weakened; love as well as light and power are considerably weakened, which once was unlimitedly your share …. But it is always at your disposal …. So you yourselves can again acquire light and power, as soon as you ignite and nourish love …. the principle of divine order …. and nourish it, as this is your destiny as long as you are still imperfect, so that you will attain perfection again in order to be able to be permeated by My love, My light and My strength again without limitation. I am always the origin, and therefore the contact with Me is absolutely necessary that you can be filled by love-light and power …. But as man you cannot measure what happiness My radiating through with divine love-power gives you; you do not know about the exceedingly great feeling of happiness, which My direct supply of love-light and power guarantees you …. And that is why you make no or little effort to establish the close bond with Me in order to be able to partake of this immense bliss. You live indifferently because you are completely unaware of your own shortcomings as well as of your earthly task, your aim and your affiliation to Me, which you should only acknowledge yourselves so that it will be realized and earn you My rays of love. And even if the knowledge about it is conveyed to you, it appears to be little credible to you, and it does not fit into your world view, which is more familiar to you and to which you pay all attention …. And yet, everything that surrounds you earthly is only an illusion …. But real is your state of soul in its spiritual misery, which however can be remedied exactly through supply of love power and light, through union with Me, the original source, out of Which My love power current flows incessantly and only needs your free will to also be able to flow through you, so that you can feel a happiness, which you then certainly no longer want to give up, because it already means the intimate contact with Me, without which the love power transmission can never take place. You men are always to consider that I alone am the source and always only this source has to be sought out through conscious acknowledgement and call of Him, Who gave you life and Who also constantly wants to make you happy with His love power and light expression, only needs your free will to now also be able to work on you. You are to know that this is your aim in life and your task, to again cancel a separation, which you accomplished voluntarily, and therefore voluntarily again unite with eternal love Itself, so that It can now also again radiate through you with light and power, to prepare happiness for you. For once you yourselves were full of light and strength and therefore also blissful …. And so you also are to become again, because as man you are formed deficiently, you lack power and light, because you lack love, My divine radiation, which you once voluntarily rejected …. And what this rejection of My strength of love meant for the beings once emanating from Me you can already determine by your deficient state alone, for it is both the light …. your knowledge and realization …. as well as your strength is severely limited …. as human beings you are very imperfect creatures until you willingly turn to the eternal source of light and strength again and ask for the flow of His love, which truly will not be denied to you because this is also My aim from eternity, to permeate everything that once came forth from Me with the flow of My love in order to make it blissfully happy to an inconceivable degree …. For only in light and power can you lead a happy life, and light and power will again and again offer and supply you with My love, for light and power are the epitome of beatitude …. They are the evidence of My endless love, which applies and will apply to all My creatures until all eternity …._>Amen

Following Jesus: Bearing the cross ….

B.D. 8680 from November 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You will always cross the bridge to the spiritual kingdom if you follow Jesus, the divine Redeemer, Who established this bridge for you humans and walked the path before you. He Himself bridged this broad gulf between the earth and the spiritual kingdom through His act of Salvation, He walked the most arduous and painful path to the cross and thereby built the bridge into the kingdom of light …. which can be crossed by every human being and will always lead to the right goal ….

The path of following Jesus has to be taken, that is, just as He had accepted all suffering out of love for the wretched human race so the human being, too, has to take the path of love and suffering, he has to endeavour to follow Him in order to purge his soul …. even though the human being Jesus had taken all the guilt of His fallen brothers upon Himself and thus the immense original sin was redeemed through the crucifixion, through the act of Salvation …. His soul can only be cleansed and purified through love and suffering, and it has to accomplish this purging while still on earth if it wants to achieve the degree of light which guarantees its happiness. For the human being lives on earth in order to free his soul from all impurities, from all vices and longings, weaknesses and bad habits, which still cling to you as a result of your past apostasy, which it should and will be able to shed if it patiently travels the earthly path in suffering and makes an effort to live a life of love. For love is the most assured means of purification, love dissolves all impurities and layers which still burden a soul. And suffering …. humbly endured …. is likewise suitable to crystallise the soul, which then will become receptive to light and translucent when it enters the realm of the beyond.

For this reason Jesus spoke the Words ‘Whosoever will come after Me, let him take up his cross ….’ No human being will be entirely spared suffering, even if the weight of burden varies with each person. Yet earthly life is not the ultimate fulfilment, it is only ever a preparatory stage for the true life in the spiritual kingdom …. And any load the soul is still burdened with on earth can only raise its beatitude in the beyond, providing it is humbly endured as God’s will. Thus the human being shall take the path of following Jesus of his own free will …. He himself has to want that his soul should attain greater maturity on earth, he consciously has to decide to follow Jesus, he also has to acknowledge His act of Salvation and make use of it for himself. For no earthly existence, no matter how sorrowful, will ever help the soul to achieve perfection if the human being does not acknowledge Jesus, if he does not make use of His act of Salvation and its blessings, if he does not believe in Him and the fact that it was God Himself Who accomplished the act of Salvation in the man Jesus. Then his earthly path can be as wretched as anything, but he will not derive any benefit from it for his soul, for he did not voluntarily ‘follow Jesus’ ….

However, the more you humans are filled with love the less you will be weighed down by suffering, for love is the best means of release, the fire of love will dissolve the soul’s every layer, it will melt away everything that is unclean and hardened, love will achieve the soul’s purification within a short time, and the extent of suffering can be reduced where love is already dealing with the soul’s purification process ….

And therefore the human being will have to be of service to a large extent in order to express his love, for love impels people to be active, and as soon as it thus unselfishly applies to another person the human being will constantly perform labours of love, and then he will travel the path of following Jesus, Who time and again was likewise impelled by love to accomplish helpful acts, Who aimed to alleviate his fellow human being’s suffering and distress and used remarkable strength in order to help his fellow human beings.

And thus a constant willingness to help will be the path that follows Jesus, because it demonstrates love, which can only ever have a beneficial effect, both for the provider as well as for the one who accepts the help …. For love is the most Powerful, the Divine, which has to lead to the soul’s perfection without fail, which has to purge a soul and make it receptive to light …. love is the final objective on earth, because it leads to unification with the Eternal Love, because it restores the original state of the created being and therefore also guarantees supreme bliss, which the being then finds in closest unity with its God and Father of eternity, from Whose love it once emerged ….

Amen

Ego consciousness state in free will ….

B.D. 8681 from November 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You receive your free will, as well as you as an I-conscious being …. as a human being …. go over the earth and also enter the kingdom of the beyond with this self-awareness …. Only in the time of your change through the creation of earth is your will bound, and also the I-consciousness lacks you, because you were dissolved into innumerable little particles, which have only gathered again in the stage as man, which also has triggered the I-consciousness of an individual being in you. So then you are also again in possession of free will, and you will now also keep it, no matter what degree of maturity your soul can register on earth or in the hereafter. And free will in you can bring about everything; it can again lead your soul to highest perfection, as it once plunged the being into deepest depths and the being was not prevented from what its will strived for. But will is the sign of divine origin; it is the sign that the creature was and is a divine being, even if it still moves in a very low degree of maturity. Free will can strive endlessly far from God, and it can again seek and establish the most intimate connection with Him, and it is in no way forced from God, but can also not be forced on the part of the opponent, why therefore every direction of will determines the being itself and therefore also creates its own state or degree of maturity itself. This is therefore also the reason for the difference of beings, the difference of men on earth and also of souls in the kingdom on the other side. Because every soul forms itself according to its will, which can cause both highest happiness as also deepest misery for it and is never inevitably directed differently, as it determines the soul itself. When God gave life to the beings, He put them out as something free independent apart from Himself …. And that also meant that every being itself could develop its will, because without free will no divine creature could be thought, which itself embodied life …. Only when it had misused its will did it thereby also surrender its ‘life’, it became dead works to which all wanting was impossible, which now had to submit to a higher will because it had lost ‘life’ through the misuse of its will and now first had to come to a certain degree of life again through the will of God …. It now became active according to divine will, thus it was under a certain law of compulsion, yet always with the aim to regain free will and then to use it right, i.e. according to divine will …. Only this aim, to once again live according to God’s will in free will, to subordinate free will to divine will, is to be pursued by man on earth …. who is therefore again in possession of free will …. According to this aim he is to live and seek to achieve it, and he will again become a divine being in all perfection, for the alignment of his own free will with God’s will means return to Him Who once gave life to the human being and his soul …. It means equal willing and thinking, equal love and bliss with God …. It means that the former ‘creature’ of God has become His ‘child’, because it has made right use of free will and has therefore shaped itself to love, which requires free will, to which the soul itself had to give the right direction of aim to come to eternal life in bliss, to reach the adoption as a child of God, which guarantees the most blissful lot to a being. As work it was once created, but had to form itself to a child of God, for which free will was first precondition. You therefore had to accomplish something your God and creator could not give: acquire divine perfection in free will, certainly with the support of your God and creator, however not driven to it by His power. The love in you had to be so strong that it felt drawn towards your creator and sought to unite with Him. For profound love also enters into the will of God of its own accord; the being which is full of love is in the same will with God …. The will subordinates itself to God and yet is not determined by God to submit itself to Him …. it remains free and will also eternally remain free, because the highest aim which God has striven for since the 0beginning is and will remain that the being freely gives love to Him out of itself and reciprocates His great love, which makes itself and all beings happy without limit for all eternity …._>Amen

God's assurance of assistance to the vineyard workers ….

B.D. 8682 from November 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Your whole life, your fate, everything still lies in My hand, and as I consider it good for your soul, so also your earth life will take place, so that you can devote yourselves to Me fully trusting and then also no day will be lived in vain, which you stay on earth. You certainly have free will, according to which you can shape your earth life yourselves, but how your own doing and wanting has an effect, both on your soul as well as in earthly relationship, that is again and again determined by Me, because I recognize it, in which way a benefit can arise for you. But your will is always determining, how every event, every thought has an effect on yourselves. What you now undertake for Me and My kingdom, how you make use of the time as loyal servants in My vineyard, that will also carry its blessing in it, because it is truly the most important task, which you can make for your purpose in life, because your and innumerable souls’ lot in the spiritual kingdom depends on it and you can never earthly gain the same successes for your souls. And again and again I tell you that I will bless your work and always help you that you can carry it out, and no matter how unfeasible it still seems to you …. I still have all means at My disposal to make even the impossible possible, and with this trust in My help you should approach everything that serves the well-being of your fellow human beings. Because you are not allowed to disregard one thing that you have a divine gift of favour at your disposal, a spiritual good, which you receive directly from Me. And when I give you such a gift of favour then it will certainly also be possible for Me to help you with its spreading, and I will also be able to dissolve apparent resistances and difficulties when you just believe in My power and My love. But every timid thought is lack of faith …. But you are to consider that I do not send you a gift of favour of highest value and highest effectiveness without purpose, but It wants itself that this is spread, that it is supplied to all those who are accessible to you and open for it. And that is why you can tackle everything with full confidence in My sure help, what contributes to the spreading of My word. And you are also not to hold back or let yourselves be put off by objections or by failure of fellowmen, because I want to give double power to those who need such, because they want to serve Me …. Every hindrance is the work of My opponent, and through him you are not to let yourselves be confused or held back, but always only trust in Me that I have promised you My help and also stand by My word. Who sacrifices much to Me, he will also experience much blessing, but you are not to be anxious; you are to believe in Me that I take over all your worries and regulate everything for you, as soon as you serve Me according to all your powers and out of love towards Me and fellowmen, who are still to be rescued through you before the end. And so that you believe in Me, I will also give you signs …. Evidence of My love, which will make you draw ever closer to Me and you will feel My presence and thus your faith will also be strengthened. For I do not want to lose you as My co-workers; I want you to work ever more diligently, and truly, your reward will be no small one day in the spiritual kingdom. However, I also do not want you to be prepared to serve Me only for the sake of reward. For the work for Me and My kingdom will only be a blessing if selfless, divine love is the driving force, for love also contains the strength which is intended to help the souls to ascend. Only that will ever be successful what is done in pure, unselfish love, and I Myself will always give My blessing to it …. And when I Myself promise you My support, then you are truly allowed to undertake everything without hesitation, to which the heart drives you. Believe it that I Myself am always with you, you who work in My vineyard, that I as house father assign the work to My servants Myself and am pleased with every loyal servant, who follows all My instructions and serves Me devotedly. And I will also truly not let this one get into a trouble, be it earthly or spiritually, because as long as he lives on earth I will also cover his earthly needs; I will direct everything so that he can follow the spiritual work undisturbed, and I will also give him the power to be active for Me and My kingdom …._>Amen

Effect of free will …. Sudden death ….

B.D. 8683 from November 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Even world events proceed according to My divine will. Although human will is the driving force I nevertheless knew people’s will an eternity ago and direct the outcome according to My wisdom, so that, in the final analysis, everything can contribute towards the souls’ perfection as long as they don’t openly reject it, that is, deliberately strive downwards due to their association with My adversary. For every event can have positive as well as negative effects, every event can be experienced by one person …. i.e. his soul …. as helpful, whereas for another it can be an obstacle towards higher development. I, however, know the outcome and therefore allow the human will its freedom. But the consequences have to be accepted by people again who seemingly had no part in it, nevertheless they, too, have to suffer such strokes of fate in order to mature fully …. Everything is known to Me for eternity, and My plan of Salvation was based on people’s free will …. And human will sometimes causes confusion on a huge scale, the consequences of which must be endured again by the human race …. For as soon as divine order is ignored, chaos is the inevitable result, and people will subsequently have to suffer under this chaos. Yet it is the time of the end where almost no-one lives in divine order anymore, where only a small part of humanity endeavours to live according to My divine will, while all others transgress the law of order and thus a state of lawlessness is recognisable which results in lack of peace, hatred, hostile conflicts against each other and totally disorderly situations, in all sorts of miserable conditions …. For calmness and peace cannot reign where spirits of darkness are evoked through actions adverse to God …. there can be no happiness and no order where love does not exist, and love has grown cold among people. The prince of darkness incessantly impels people into acts of hatred and unkindness, and only ever greater misery can come out of it …. even if it is kept hidden from the general public it will nevertheless be recognised by every person who still wants to abide by the laws of eternal order.

However, I have also designated an end to this behaviour by people, to their sinfulness, which is expressed by their activities, for soon the time will be fulfilled, and soon everyone will have to reveal their own attitude and justify himself for his innermost feeling, for the time will soon expire which was granted to My adversary and which he has truly used well …. The eternal order will soon be established again as it was promised in Word and Scripture. Many shocking events will still take place before the end, people will be subjected to many rude awakenings and become conscious of the fact that every day could be their last …. and good for him who lives his earthly life appropriately. Nevertheless, My messengers will always inform them of what the human race can still expect …. Time and again My obvious activity will be pointed out to people, which could provide them with the evidence of a Power Which is in charge of everything, Which directs everything according to Its will, but without excluding people’s will. Yet you humans can certainly take actions, in a good or a bad way …. but the effects of your actions are determined by Me, as I Am aware of all people’s will and therefore always protect those of good will, even if they are plunged into greatest anguish through human will …. In that case, it will only be a blessing for their souls, and one day they will recognise My guidance and nevertheless be thankful to Me for the arduous destiny imposed upon them. However, you should always bear in mind that I will never enslave the human being’s will, that every person can think and want at his own discretion, but that every person must also accept the consequences of his will, that one day every person must give account of his will, regardless of the outcome of the implemented action. And My permissions are indeed justified, even if you are unable to understand this because you know that I Am not lacking the power to stop another person from implementing his will. I, however, have a view over every person’s progress of life, I know his maturity of soul and I know, what can still serve him to raise the latter …. I also want to confront every person with their own death, which no-one can avoid when it approaches him. And if I merely achieve that it reminds all people of the fact that they, too, can pass away at any minute, it is already an achievement for the individual person’s soul. It is an approach by Myself, it is My direct intervention in his thoughts, which he then will certainly be able to direct according to his will but which can also lead him to the right path, because I leave no stone unturned in leading people onto the right path and because I alone know the right means in order to still achieve small successes, to gain a few souls before the end, which is not far away anymore ….

Amen

The final powerful work of destruction …. I.

B.D. 8684 from November 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Even if you are constantly made aware of the end your faith in it is nevertheless not alive enough to seriously prepare yourselves for it …. You are facing such an extraordinary event that it is difficult for you to believe since nothing remotely similar has ever taken place as far as you can ascertain from the past. The individual periods of Salvation are so long, and besides, it is My wise intention that you should not be able to estimate the interval between the beginning and end of such an epoch and that you should lack all knowledge in this regard. For even what you think you can ascertain by way of research is not reliable information, it will always remain unverifiable assumption. And thus the forthcoming work of destruction, which will totally change the earth’s surface, will indeed affect the whole of the earth, yet it will only be consciously experienced by the few who, as the root of the new human generation, will be carried away before the end. And they will in fact still remember the old earth, however, the new period will start so entirely differently that people will soon get used to living in a completely new world and thus their thoughts utterly distance themselves from the events on the old earth …. It will only affect them like a dream since the new earth will present them with entirely different problems because they are spiritually minded and only ever try to come closer to Me. Worldly thoughts will dwindle, but the spirit will already be remarkably active and the souls will attain a high degree of maturity, so that, to a certain extent, they will have reached their earthly goal already and be in contact with the inhabitants of the kingdom of light although they will still live in their physical bodies.

What you are told in this respect is completely incomprehensible to you humans on this earth, yet it is the truth and therefore you are repeatedly informed that the time has come when you can expect unusual happenings, because events will happen thick and fast in the end and only a specific degree of maturity will assure people the strength to cope with what is to come and thus survive the last days in conscious unity with Me and the certainty that I will support them no matter what happens. Significant events of all kinds will always be caused by people themselves even if a direct cause is not perceptible, yet only I know what people’s souls need …. And unusual occurrences will have to happen in the end in order to galvanise people …. And yet, all these events can be called negligible compared to the large work of destruction which will befall earth when the time comes for the lawful order to be restored in accordance with My will. Nevertheless, only the people carried away by Me and before whose eyes everything will take place will be able to watch the full extent of the destruction work …. and only because they shall realise their God and Creator’s might and also experience the truth of My Word ….

Yet prior to this many an event will still frighten people and only for the sake of directing your thoughts towards the One to Whom all Power is given and at whose mercy everyone is …. And truly, every human being who is still called away from earth before the end may consider himself blessed, for he will not meet the dreadful judgment of the new banishment which, however, can be expected by everyone who does not belong to My Own …. to those whom I will carry away from this earth, as I announce to you time and again …. You humans cannot give credence to such an occurrence either, because no previous incident of that nature can be verified and because people will not allow for anything that contradicts natural laws. Yet He Who gave these natural laws can truly also revoke them, for nothing is impossible for Him, especially when it concerns establishing a new order again so as to safeguard the further development of all spiritual beings. This is why you should faithfully accept everything that is imparted to you through My Word …. You should believe that everything is possible for Me and that I will also use My might in the end because I want to repeal My adversary …. For his time is over, and he has really made good use of it to the detriment of what also belongs to Me …. And for the sake of these spiritual beings I will let new creations arise which will receive the spirits which had failed their last test of will on earth, for I always have the salvation of all spiritual beings at heart. And even if you find it impossible to recognise My love in all forthcoming events …. one day you will be able to understand it and then you will acknowledge the greater than great love, wisdom and might of the One Who wants to deliver you from the abyss but Who will let you keep your free will so that you will be able to become perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect ….

Amen

The final powerful work of destruction …. II.

B.D. 8685 from November 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Great events cast their shadows before them …. And thus the final powerful work of destruction affecting the earth will be preceded by ever more distressing events, what happens to a lesser degree in many places will finally happen to the whole earth …. with the difference that the previous divinely intended natural disasters will horrify people, whereas the final work of destruction on earth will be triggered by human will, thus people will initiate the end themselves …. on the one hand by involving themselves in all kinds of tests and experiments and on the other hand by their increasingly firmer connection with God’s adversary who impels them to do so because he himself is incapable of destroying works which emerged through God’s will …. You humans will be kept in constant suspense, for the day which brings everything to an end because a new earth period will start, comes ever closer …. And every frightful event is intended to wake you up, for you are truly sleep walking, you don’t see and realise anything because you don’t want to see or realise anything. You are in grave danger of becoming lost again for an infinitely long time, and yet you could avert this danger if you were genuinely interested in your salvation.

However, regardless of what is yet to happen, only individual people will derive benefit for their soul, whilst the majority takes notice of everything, gets upset about it and then lapses into its state of sleep again, and nothing changes in their way of life, in their attitude towards God, for He is distant to them and they won’t look for close contact with Him as long as their earthly life still seems bearable to them. Yet a state of calm will not return anymore, one piece of bad news will follow the other, and even the adversary’s activity will become clearly evident, the separation of the goats from the sheep will become ever more distinctly noticeable. People will soon demonstrate that they pursue two different goals: people who still seriously try to find God and those who deny Him and aim to completely exclude Him from their lives. And the latter will treat the former with hostility and oppress them, for they will be in the majority whereas the believers will always be the weaker ones, yet they only outwardly yield to the superior numbers whilst always receiving strength from God in order to withstand the adversary’s demands to renounce their faith …. For soon the last battle of faith will erupt and that will also be the beginning of the final phase, which will be closely followed by the end …. But due to people’s low spiritual level such upsetting events cannot be avoided, everything will still be tried on the part of God to motivate people to think, and the proximity of death will be brought home to them over and over again ….

By way of destruction through the forces of nature they will be shown that everything is transient and be encouraged by any means to form an opinion about all happenings, for they shall be shaken out of their lethargy and motivated to reflect on the possible reasons for all occurrences …. And even people who are not directly affected themselves can nevertheless observe their fellow human beings’ fate and form their own opinion …. Whatever it takes will still be done on the part of God which could result in some success …. Yet generally everything will be looked at from an earthly point of view, earthly disadvantages will be discussed …. but the fact that everything has its spiritual reasons will be ignored and therefore only little spiritual success will be gained …. Even so, you are told in advance that you will repeatedly be shaken up, you shall know that everything is planned for eternity and that nothing is without meaning and purpose even if you don’t recognise it. Observe the cosmic events and heed world events …. And know that there are no coincidences in earthly life, that everything is determined or permitted by God’s will because He also knows the results of what He sends upon earth and humankind. For He holds the reigns and knows how to steer them according to divine wisdom.

Try to understand God’s language, for you only need good will to subordinate yourselves to His will, hence you should only ever try to derive benefit for your souls from everything that happens around yourselves, but don’t remain indifferent, for God always wants to tell you something when your heart and mind are affected by extraordinary events …. Listen to His soft voice and don’t let anything pass you by without impression, take notice of the signs of the last days which shall be your indication that the time has come which has always been mentioned …. And believe that you don’t have much time left until the end and that everything will come to pass as it is written …. that the old earth will pass away and a new one will arise …. For the time is fulfilled and thus the divine plan of Salvation will be implemented as it has been planned for eternity ….

Amen

Various schools of thought …. Pretended worship ….

B.D. 8686 from November 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

It is just like the time when Christ descended to earth …. People’s thoughts are just as confused, they advocate the same misguided teachings, they believe to possess the sole truth and yet they are living right in the midst of falsehood …. Now, as then, they uphold their hollow creeds even though all vary from each other, each creed endorses its own point of view and each one is convinced that it can lay claim to the truthfulness of its teachings. And the number of schools of thought has grown considerably, there are not just a few opposing each other but a great variety of opinions has created a great variety of faith communities which all endeavour to win supporters and fanatically insist on the doctrines they endorse …. Hence it is essential that people receive the truth, that they at last learn what God expects from people …. It is essential that God’s will is revealed to them so that they learn to recognise that the fulfilment of His will is the meaning and purpose of life on earth …. However, every church or spiritual movement teaches that it proclaims God’s will and still the various creeds differ. At the time of Christ’s descent to earth people prided themselves just like today on practicing various customs, the divine service was fanatically performed and lacked spirit so that people did not establish any heartfelt contact with their God and Creator ….

And the same happens nowadays: a formal religious service giving due consideration to all rites and customs, demonstrating to the world the union with God whilst the heart of the individual is far removed from this heartfelt bond with Him …. It is just pretence and deception, there is no longer any truthfulness in people’s way of life …. They solely belong to the physical world, and even if they want to give the impression of a relationship with God they only perform lifeless formalities which do not touch their souls. And you, who receive the truth from God, shall challenge this pretence of worship and remember that even Jesus during His life on earth did not support those who upheld wrong doctrines and tried to justify their pretence of worship as the only one pleasing to God and who condemned everything that contradicted their teachings. Nowadays people will not want to part with the doctrines handed down to them by people either and will therefore always remain in error, because they refuse to accept the pure truth which can only be granted to them from above …. from the Eternal Truth. Yet such a gift of grace requires free voluntary acceptance …. The truth cannot be forcibly conveyed to people who are unwilling to accept it. And therefore it is difficult to root out misguided teachings even if these are substantiated and

Amended to them as being wrong. There will only ever be a few who will be open-minded to what God Himself conveys to people, because they don’t want to acknowledge such evident working of God …. because they have no knowledge of the fact that God pours out His spirit over those who willingly open up their hearts to Him for the receipt of His pure truth ….

Prior to Jesus’ descent to earth, before His crucifixion, the pouring out of the spirit upon a human being was not possible, and therefore the world was full of error …. However, after His death on the cross truth could find access to mankind and it became possible to fully enlighten people as to whether and when their thinking was erroneous, it was possible to instruct them through the spirit and they could rid themselves of all error. Yet there was never any coercion and this is why time and again error could creep in and be advocated as truth and passed on with such tenacity that it is difficult to convince people of their wrong thinking, and thus they will always resist accepting the pure truth from God and giving up their misconceptions. And still, for the sake of truth itself everything has to be tried to make people change their points of view …. everything has to be tried to motivate them to think, everything has to be done to impart the pure truth to them, for they can only reach the final goal on the path of truth …. As long as they remain in their wrong thinking they will not be able to partake in the bliss of the kingdom of the beyond, which can only ever guarantee enlightenment ….

Only truth grants light, therefore truth alone leads to beatitude, for countless beings can be made happy with it again and happiness in the spiritual kingdom consists of the giving of light. This is why you humans must not fall victim to wrong thinking, this is why the truth is offered to you time and again, this is why everything will be done on the part of God to turn your thinking in the right direction, yet you yourselves need only have the will to live in truth …. For it is not as important on earth as it is in the kingdom of the beyond that you know the truth, because you cannot be happy there without truth, and even if you ignore your dark state on earth …. it will nevertheless torment you in the beyond, because only light is beatitude and light is only ever emanated by the Truth, by God Himself, Who is the eternal Essence of light ….

Amen

Unification of ecclesiastical organisations? …. Spoilt teachings ….

B.D. 8687 from November 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

As long as people cannot decide to cleanse the Christian doctrine of all human additions, as long as every single denomination does not have the sincere will to embrace the fullest truth and to remove every error, no agreement of the churches will take place because the various denominations can only meet within pure truth and only then will they be united. However, no group is willing to renounce any of its spiritual knowledge and, above all, usually persists with the misguided teachings since they are unable to differentiate by themselves as long as they are merely governed by their intellect. And, remarkably, no school of thought endorses and solely accepts knowledge gained through the ‘working of the spirit’ …. God’s working within the human being …. instead they deem the product of human intellect more valuable and are unable to dissociate themselves from it. Hence the attribute of the church which I Myself founded on earth is rarely found as proof of credibility and truth of what is preached. The ecclesiastical organisations lack that very aspect which guarantees the truth or they would all meet at the same truth and any disagreement would be eliminated.

And thus it has to be stated to humanity’s greatest regret that the pure truth can no longer be found where one would expect to receive spiritual knowledge …. It has to be said that merely a thin thread connects everything when the commandments of love for God and one’s neighbour are taught …. although this faintly glowing teaching material could still suffice to make truth accessible to the people since compliance with these commandments of love also guarantees ‘God’s working in the human being’, who is then taught from within, thus he is certainly able to differentiate between truth and error …. But only the teaching of love has survived as divine teaching material, consequently every human being has the opportunity to live within truth as long as he complies with this teaching. Then he will also know that everything else is human work which only leads to wrong concepts …. that they are mere earthly expressions of what is spiritually demanded of people by God. However, people do not have the will to thoroughly cleanse the structure which they themselves have erected in the state of spiritual blindness ….

No school of thought desists from its doctrines and rules and each one remains a purely secular affair as long as they advocate external customs and practices which can only be regarded as symbols which lack the true interpretation …. And yet they are all fully convinced of their own school of thought, and precisely this is the tragedy, because in doing so they show their heartless attitude which prevents them from recognising the truth …. as well as their indifference and their irresponsibility towards their souls. For every human being living within love will value truth too highly not to seriously ensure that he is living in truth. And merely a sincere question and request for it would result in enlightenment. But where can one find doubts concerning the truth among those who have made themselves leaders of people, who took on and are in charge of a teaching ministry themselves? …. Where, on the whole, is serious desire for truth still to be found? Why doesn’t anyone raise the most important question ‘What is truth? Do I possess it myself? ….’ Everyone upholds with certain obstinacy what he has adopted himself without forming his own opinion …. He believes himself to be ‘devout’ by accepting everything without a word of protest about what was conveyed to him by other people …. He shakes off all personal responsibility, he neither uses his own intellect nor his heart to examine the accuracy of what he in turn is supposed to endorse again …. He himself sins against the spirit, because the spirit is within him and only wants to be awakened by love in order to be able to express itself. And this in a manner which will give him light and clarity so that he will become truly wise because he may receive the light from Me Myself which will give him brightest comprehension …. But why do so few people experience this light of comprehension …. why are so many upholding spiritual values which are so unconvincing when they are seriously examined? ….

Why are people satisfied with doctrines that have truly not come from Me and why don’t they accept the precious spiritual knowledge from My hand which may be asked for and received by every person who earnestly searches for pure truth and who can, through a life of love in accordance with My will, also establish direct contact with Me in order to be taught by Me directly …. because you humans lack the knowledge about the working of My spirit within the human being. And this in itself is proof that you were and are not correctly instructed, that even the teachers are lacking this knowledge and that consequently they were not given their teaching ministry by Me. For when I commission someone to become a teacher to his fellow human beings I will certainly also equip him with the right knowledge …. But you, who deem yourselves appointed to be in charge of your school of thought or denomination and want to be looked upon as leader, lack this knowledge. You have not been appointed by Me, and you will never be able to lead your fellow human beings into truth because you do not possess it yourselves and do nothing to receive it.

And therefore take notice of what I tell you: The true church, which I Myself founded on earth, can only be found where the working of My spirit in the human being is evident. And this is not outwardly recognisable but it includes members from all the different religious communities, from different schools of thought, for they have won a living faith through a life of love. These will also know that My church does not present itself outwardly, instead it guarantees the closest union with Me to which I then disclose the truth as …. a clear spiritual perception.

This is missing in those who do not belong to My church, who cannot dissociate from misguided spiritual knowledge which cannot possibly have originated in Me but is a human addition, motivated by My adversary who will always oppose truth but which will never be accepted by those who give themselves to Me in love and faith. And thus you will also understand that there will never be a unification of Christian denominations because each one will insist on the doctrine it has represented so far, that the argument between the denominations always concerns misguided teachings which will be anxiously guarded by every one of them because they are unwilling to abandon them …. However, only truth can lead to beatitude and only the person who genuinely wants it will also receive it if he takes the path to Me directly and asks Me for it in all sincerity ….

Amen

Wrong interpretation of Jesus' Words ….

B.D. 8688 from November 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Human thought has an earthly tendency, consequently people also interpret everything in an earthly way that had a profoundly spiritual meaning, that was conveyed to them as spiritual guidance by Me, Who has always spoken to humanity either directly or through messengers. My teachings, however, were always intended for the salvation of the soul and whenever I speak to humanity, be it in ancient or more recent times, My Word has always had a spiritual meaning. This was quite correctly understood at the time, but soon the spiritual meaning was interspersed with worldly ideas and, eventually, interpreted in a purely worldly sense. And thus My Word never remained unspoilt, performances and customs evolved from it which no longer correspond to its spiritual meaning, and My Word has lost its healing power, since it is no longer My pure Word ….

That which was demanded of you spiritually …. because I expected its fulfilment to be a blessing for your souls …. has been turned into earthly performances by you humans. For every one of My requirements on your souls you invented and instituted an earthly activity which you called ‘sacraments’, attaching too much importance to them. As a result many people conscientiously comply with the regulations in their belief that they are accumulating a treasure of grace by fulfilling humanly decreed commandments …. However, it is all a mere matter of formality and appearance and completely unnecessary for the maturing of the souls …. Yet you stick with great tenacity to the formalities you created for yourselves but which I never demanded of you.

Everything I said during My life on earth as a human being had a profound spiritual meaning and can never be substituted by external acts …. But you do not understand the profound meaning and are satisfied with external customs which can never benefit your soul. Just think of the effects you attribute to ‘baptism’! …. You perform a simple external act and are then convinced of its spiritual success: be it the deliverance from the ‘hereditary sin’, or the admission into My church …. the admission into a religious community …. But all this has to be gained by the human being himself during his earthly life, he has to voluntarily let himself be delivered from sin through Jesus Christ. Consequently it requires more than just the act of baptism performed on a child …. And again, he will only be able to join ‘My church’ voluntarily by consciously living his life as My follower, in order to gain a living faith through love …. the characteristic of the church founded by Me.

Think of the Sacraments of Confession and the Altar …. What you made of them and by what formalities you expect your ‘forgiveness of sins’. Think of how I want you to understand the Words, that you should invite Me in so that I may hold communion with you and you with Me …. and how you turned My Words ‘This do in remembrance of Me ….’ into a process which, again, cannot have any effect on your soul unless you live a life of such profound love that I Myself can be present within you ….

All spiritual requirements your soul was meant to cope with by itself were combined with earthly concepts by you humans and thus you created your own structure, so that you eagerly comply with what is demanded of you, what is claimed to be My will …. Time and again you have to be given clarification about this, yet you do not accept such clarification but keep fulfilling the humanly decreed commandments with ever growing zeal whilst My commandments of love for God and your neighbour are being ignored. As a result your spirit is growing consistently darker until, in the end, you will become quite unable to recognise the error of your thoughts and actions. Besides, you have placed yourselves into bondage by submissively accepting everything as truth that is presented to you as ‘My Word’ ….

You ascribe a purely earthly meaning to My Words and ignore their spiritual meaning. And this is why errors have arisen which can only be rectified if you are filled with love, for then you will become enlightened and notice when you are confronted by error …. Then you will know that all humanly decreed commandments and sacramental acts are a deception, which could only have been alleged to be divine will by a dark spirit, and you will endeavour to free yourselves from error in the recognition of pure truth which alone can benefit the soul, and which can only be recognised as truth by someone who dwells in love, and who thus will fulfil My commandment of love first and then, as a result, also think correctly ….

Amen

Prerequisite for the illumination of love …. contact with God ….

B.D. 8689 from November 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

My love light ray lowers itself into the heart of him who opens himself to Me to the reception of love and power. And a blessing for his soul will always arise for him through it, because the time of intimate union with Me must also earn him My presence, which can never remain without effect at the soul. And My divine love light radiates in form of knowledge about pure truth to man, who now increases in knowledge and reaches constantly higher light, to whom a knowledge is opened, which cannot be supplied to him in another way in such a way that it touches his heart. The intellect certainly can be considered from different sides, but it will not be able to judge, which knowledge corresponds to truth, while My address, My ray of light, illuminates the soul so brightly that it now also knows that it walks in truth. And I want to make My creatures happy with a spiritual good, which puts them into a state of light; I do not want to let them pass away in darkness of spirit, but the prerequisites must be there, which allow a direct radiation of light. Yet you can be certain of this, that you need only express the request to be touched by My ray of light of love in order to now also be chosen as a receiving station which can pick up My ray of light and pass it on again …. Only few people have the will and the desire to receive My emanation of love, and I can now grant it to them directly or indirectly through you who receive My ray of love, for no person will address such a request to Me in vain to be allowed to receive My light of love, it is just that people’s degree of maturity varies and that is why the granting does not always take place directly, yet every person who desires to receive will receive. But people usually think I am too distant for them to believe that they can establish a direct connection with Me in order to be addressed by Me directly …. They must first have established the right relationship with Me …. the relationship of a child with its father …. in order to now also childlike appeal to Me to let My light of love shine to them in order to enter into the blessing of light and strength which every soul needs. Only the close bond with Me is necessary, which, however, is only established with the father, not with a distant God …. And to this close bond I always try to stimulate you …. Often a small impulse is enough that you raise your thoughts to Me …. it can cause you joy and gratitude or also sorrow and affliction to talk to Me in your thoughts ….

I will always give you an answer when you just expect it. But it can also first bring about great adversity that you call upon your God and creator, and then I will also make Myself known to you as a father Who is concerned about all His children and wants to help them in every adversity, be it earthly or spiritual …. And then also those oppressed will experience My address, and their bond with Me will become stronger, because every help on My part is an allowance of power, which the soul feels beneficently. No human being can measure the blessing that the conscious bond with Me in thought or prayer will result in for the soul, for it will always create the opportunity for My flow of love light and strength to flow into the person who first needs to establish contact, otherwise the person will still be separated from Me, since he once established the separation himself …. And every bond is a step of return to Me …. The original relationship is established again, in which the being was inseparably connected with Me and also conscious of it …. The willful separation from Me has also triggered in the being the awareness of an endless far distance from Me, and every intimate union with Me cancels the state of separation from Me and must now also earn the being again light and power from Me, which will always have an effect on the soul, which always comes closer to Me, which attains knowledge again which it had lost and thus is also placed into brightest realization, because I Myself convey truthful knowledge to it which chases away all darkness and makes it happy, because it feels in possession of light and strength again and now also recognizes Me as its origin and as the final aim towards which it seriously strives …._>Amen

The only way to truth is the way to God ….

B.D. 8690 from December 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

There are only few people who occupy themselves with deeper questions, who demand to penetrate deeper into such areas which are alien to people …. There are always only few who want to know about things which are unprovable and which earthly intellect cannot fathom. And among these few there are even fewer such people to be found who simply turn to their God and creator and ask Him because they believe in Him with conviction …. For the others the spiritual realm remains, in their opinion, inscrutable, and they certainly seek to attain knowledge by listening to what is fed to them about it verbally or in writing, but without being able to guarantee pure truth …. (but without having the guarantee of pure truth) But the former alone take the right path when they ask Me Myself for clarification, for I consider everyone who approaches Me with this request, because I Myself want people to live in the light …. in truth …. through earthly life. But where even faith in a God and creator is missing or only very weak, there the direct way to this God is also not taken, and the result is that man never knows whether he moves in truth, because he only receives thought material, which the intellect has given birth to, but was never imparted to men through the spirit. And bright light could truly shine on earth when many men would take the way to Me and then men could recognize a full agreement of that what is now directly imparted to them …. But thus the process of direct transmission of truth is such a rare one that it is regarded as a completely unusual, implausible occurrence and people reject rather than accept the spiritual results because they cannot give themselves an explanation as long as they have not penetrated My laws of eternity a little deeper themselves, which find their confirmation in the knowledge gained …. For everyone who moves himself in divine order, everyone who lives according to My eternal laws, will live a life of love, and such a life of love now also earns him the deepest knowledge; he will penetrate the secrets which are hidden from people as long as they still move outside of divine order. And that is why a loving person will also find the reception of divine messages …. the penetration into spiritual knowledge …. not unusual, for he is informed of the correlations because a light shines in him himself through his way of life in love …. And again it is explainable why only few people come into this light-filled state of knowledge about spiritual things …. because love has grown cold among people …. There are certainly men who seek to penetrate into unenlightened areas, but as long as they lack love, only intellectual thinking is interested in knowledge, but not the soul, which seeks the light of truth …. Then also that knowledge, which concerns spiritual things, remains only a world knowledge, which man wants to possess as earthly directed aim …. And such desire will not be satisfied for him, for although he has access to that knowledge he will not accept it because he lacks all understanding for it. And that is why only people will ever be willing to accept it who make an effort themselves to live a life of love according to My will, and these will receive light in all abundance and also never be able to doubt once they have received the spiritual knowledge from Me, be it directly or through My messengers. Anyone who possesses the pure truth will no longer surrender it …. For only a loving heart accepts it, and that then also means enlightenment of spirit and intimate union with Me. And many people could achieve this if only they would like to believe in a God and father Who gives them information about all questions that move them when He is approached about them …. For the will for truth is the condition to be allowed to receive it …. And the right desire should also drive man towards Him, Who alone can give information about it, because He Himself is eternal truth. But this path is rarely taken, people mostly rely on what fellow human beings offer them without being able to give the guarantee of receiving pure truth …. And when they eliminate Me Myself as the giver of truth then they can also be considered by the opposing force, which also confirms the depth of spiritual darkness in which people move. For they seek to fathom everything with the intellect, and this is dominated by My opponent …. Or they seek to penetrate spiritual spheres again on the way, which My opponent leads them, so that they also then are instructed by spiritual powers on his behalf and are convinced to now stand in right knowledge …. But pure truth only goes out from Me Myself, and I guide them again there, where earnest desire and intimate union with Me makes the process of direct transmission of truth possible …. And there you men can also fetch the pure truth for yourselves, who firmly believe in Me and My working through the spirit …._>Amen

The adversary's activity will not be prevented ….

B.D. 8691 from December 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Though I Am Ruler indeed over heaven and earth and no being shall be capable of opposing Me, I do not contest My adversary’s right within the domain which is his kingdom: the terrestrial world which harbours everything that still belongs to him and where he can exercise his influence when the developing spiritual essence has reached the human stage …. Then he will pursue this spiritual essence …. the human being …. in every way in order to prevent his development and to pull him down into the abyss again, from where he had worked his way up by means of an infinitely long process …. Then he is, in fact, lord over his world ….

And this explains why I allow so many disasters, why I don’t intervene where the adversary’s activities are so clearly apparent …. He has a right to you humans because you once followed him voluntarily into the abyss; and he also exercises his right in order to dominate you. But you can resist him since you possess free will. And you do not lack strength either, if only you would ask Me for it. But My adversary’s activity will not be prevented by Me. For the physical world is his share …. even all matter, over which he has no control, is part of him because it harbours the fallen spiritual substance, which is only temporarily beyond his control due its constraint in matter. But as soon as it lives on earth as a human being he can exercise his power over it again without being hindered by Me …. And he truly makes full use of it ….

Yet in Jesus Christ, the divine Saviour, he has a very powerful opponent indeed …. And every human being can turn to Him in order to be liberated from the enemy of souls. For Jesus is stronger than he is, and He delivers every soul from his power which simply appeals to Him for it and with its prayer demonstrates its faith in Him and His act of Salvation, which thereby also acknowledges Myself, Who in Jesus Christ became a human being in order to redeem all fallen spirits. Thus the adversary’s power on earth is great indeed, and yet in Jesus Christ he finds his Master …. And regardless of how much control he has over people, in Jesus Christ they nevertheless have a Redeemer and Saviour from his domination …. Thus the human being cannot expect that I, his God and Creator of eternity, will curtail My adversary’s activity, or that I will prevent him from carrying out disgraceful actions, because I will not, by any means, remove his right to influence a person in order to hold on to him …. The human being himself, however, does not have to tolerate it, for he can always turn to Jesus Christ and ask for His help to be released from his prison guard, to become free from the power to which he, however, will succumb without the help of Jesus Christ.

How often do you humans say ‘Why does God allow this? ….’ I do not prevent My adversary’s activity because you once accepted his domination and he is still your lord today if you don’t want to free yourselves and approach Jesus Christ for salvation from him. But I also know what serves you and each individual soul best …. I know the nature of every individual soul, I know what it needs in order to mature fully, and even the dark world has to be of service to Me, for I also know how to direct the effects of the dark forces’ actions such that they will be successful for people’s souls who are willing to be released from his power and strive towards Me.

And this is always determined by the person’s will, since this is free …. As long as the spiritual substance is still bound within the works of creation My adversary is unable to influence it; but in the human stage he has the right to do so because it involves the being’s free decision which the adversary wants to win for himself. Hence he takes advantage of every opportunity, and the human being is at his mercy the further away he is from Me, the less often he establishes contact with Me, or: As long as he does not acknowledge Jesus Christ by seeking sanctuary with Him in his distress, he is at the mercy of the opposing power, which nevertheless is determined by his own free will.

I certainly have the power and can prevent anything, including the adversary’s activities, but then the human being’s life on earth would be in vain, where he has to freely choose between Me and him. But you humans should also understand that and why difficult tests are given to you, and why he often causes you extreme distress and I don’t stop him, because you do not turn to Me for help and this is the real purpose of every adversity, which I therefore allow so that you will find your way to Me ….

Yet you can rest assured that I will not leave you on your own and will help you if you try to get away from him and trustingly flee to Me and thereby also acknowledge Me as your God and Father …. when you call upon Jesus for forgiveness of your guilt and for deliverance from the enemy, who also fights in order not to lose you …. Yet truly, My might is greater, and if you call upon Me in spirit and in truth you will indeed be released from him and your earthly life will not have been in vain ….

Amen

Sacraments …. (Ordination to the priesthood – Anointing the sick)

B.D. 8692 from December 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I shall further teach you that you should free yourselves from error when it is explained to you that you have interpreted My Word in an earthly, rather than spiritual, way. You should know that external ceremonies do not suffice for My spirit to express itself, and that likewise a person cannot be appointed into a teaching ministry or become a leader or principal of a community by way of external ceremonies …. Many are called but only few are chosen, and the few are instructed by Myself; I Myself put them into the place where they can work for Me and My kingdom. But the person is also subject to conditions in order to make him a capable teacher and leader of his fellow human beings …. My spirit has to be able to work in him so that he himself lives in truth and thus is My representative on earth who administers his office in My name, in accordance with My will and guided by Me Myself.

It cannot be denied that amongst those who call themselves My representatives on earth there are also people who live entirely within My will and serve Me conscientiously …. But they were appointed to their ministry by Me Myself and did not become My servants through external ceremonies …. performed by their fellow human beings …. because their appointment is a personal matter of free will which surrenders to Me completely, so that a human being is closely united with Me by love …. so that I Myself can then give him the task he is to administer ….

But this heartfelt commitment and their life of love also assures the awakening of their spirit and then they will delve deeper into the truth too …. They resist any kind of inaccuracy, they resist the distortion of everything that originated from Me and will also disassociate themselves from error …. So now you understand that you won’t find My true representatives where people expect and acknowledge them to be, for these exclude themselves by representing error and not genuinely looking for truth …. They cannot be My servants and representatives because they accept erroneous beliefs and do nothing to acquire the pure truth ….

Thus you will also know what to make of the ‘Sacrament of ordination to the priesthood’, for even if a person is of good will he has to prove it by declaring to Me his willingness to completely submit to My will …. And that means that he has to investigate every doubt arising in himself which I put into his heart Myself to enable him to draw close to Me and the truth …. And if he shies away from contemplating such doubt he will keep himself forcibly blind. He could receive the light yet he closes his eyes, and thus his heart is not open to Me so that I could send a ray of light into it ….

You humans should not say that it is not possible for a person who genuinely longs for Me to detach himself from error, for you all know of My power and love which truly helps everyone who strives towards Me, the eternal truth …. But you have to let yourselves be taught first, you have to take notice of the pure truth, of My adversary’s activity, of the misguided belief with which he has entrapped you, and you have to have the sincere will to free yourselves from him and request Me to help you ….

Don’t you think that I would help you, since I only ever want to deliver you humans from the darkness of spirit and give you light? You only need to use your intellect with good will and you would recognise the flaws in what you are expected to believe …. But you were given intellect otherwise you would not differ from an animal which cannot be held responsible for its actions. You, however, will one day have to give an account of whether and how you used your intellect since it can help you to become enlightened, providing you are of good will and desire a true light. As I keep emphasising …. doubts about the truth are appropriate wherever external ceremonies are to vouch for a spiritual achievement. Your soul will never be able to gain such an achievement, neither on earth nor in the beyond, if such external acts are performed on a person before his passing away, they are nothing but ceremonies and customs and are of no benefit for the soul …. However, I Myself know every single soul and judge it by its degree of love, for only this determines the degree of light the soul enters into after its physical death, providing it does not enter the realm of darkness because it is completely without love and therefore belongs to My adversary who governs the kingdom of darkness ….

Amen

Effect of misguided teachings in the beyond ….

B.D. 8693 from December 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Many more errors will still have to be corrected by Me if human beings are to live in truth. People’s thoughts are thoroughly lead astray, one misguided teaching leads to many other misguided teachings, and people cannot escape from them, they are representing a truth which was given to them by people who did not have the truth themselves because their spirit was unenlightened. And countless souls enter the spiritual kingdom in this lightless state. Even then they still defend their doctrines and cannot be convinced that their reasoning was wrong, and will remain wrong as long as they do not accept a light which shines for them in the beyond too, but which they have to accept of their own free will. The battle between light and darkness even rages in the kingdom of the beyond, for time and again the beings of light try to kindle a light for those of dark spirit, but their endeavour is frequently in vain since the souls hold on to their misconceptions. And yet, the latter cannot understand why they do not experience beatitude although they believe to have done everything on earth in order to gain it.

And as long as they do not understand that My will is in fact different from what they were told on earth …. as long as they do not realise the irrelevance of what had been demanded of them …. as long as they do not recognise that I make other demands on people than to comply with ecclesiastical customs and external appearances, that I only expect love from people and only assess a person in accordance with his degree of love and that his beatitude will depend on his degree of love …. the souls will not experience an enviable fate, even if they are not languishing in deepest darkness.

But they argue and do not comprehend the state of their wretchedness, indeed, they frequently reproach themselves for not having sufficiently fulfilled the ceremonies and humanly decreed commandments, and as a result are not yet admitted into beatitude. It could be theirs in a very short time if only they would accept the light beings’ teachings or accept a small light where the ray of light is transmitted to earth, where purest truth is distributed and avidly accepted by all famished souls …. But they are just as stubborn in the kingdom of the beyond as they were on earth and reject everything which disagrees with their opinion, and the adversary still has immense power over these fanatics ….

For even in the kingdom of the beyond they fail to help each other which would increase their degree of love and decrease their rejection of light …. They cannot make any progress in the spiritual kingdom because love is the strength that helps the soul to ascend in the spiritual kingdom too. But love is also the light, and even in the kingdom of the beyond they can love each other, for in a state devoid of bliss there is still hardship and misery, and one soul will always be able to help another …. Then the souls’ thoughts will become ever more enlightened, they will question each other and will certainly receive an answer …. But love always comes first, and those souls’ big spiritual misconception rests in the fact that they superseded love by what human folly had elevated into a ‘divine doctrine’ …. that they always complied with human demands first and ignored divine demands …. And their condition will never change unless they put love first and, due to their loving will to help other souls, begin to recognise the pure truth, which will then give them unlimited beatitude ….

It is for this reason that every human being, whose thoughts had been misguided on earth but whose will to love and to take action had reached a high degree, will suddenly realise the truth in the kingdom of the beyond and will readily let go of misconceptions. He will endeavour to pass his knowledge on to other souls because he recognises the immense harm caused by error and because his love urges him to help alleviate spiritual blindness. His influence can be extraordinarily beneficial because he had held the same thoughts on earth which he now can justify to be wrong, and therefore be successful with souls who just listen to him. Error is the worst poison for human souls and the fight of light against darkness will therefore continue relentlessly, and one day the light will surely win …. The human being, however, is free to choose between light and darkness, he will not be forced and can make a free decision …. but everything will be done to make him aware of the truth while he is still on earth. But the beings of light do not cease their efforts even in the beyond, for only the soul who knows the truth can become blessed ….

Amen

Attribute of divine teaching: human manifestation problem ….

B.D. 8694 from December 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I repeatedly emphasise that it is necessary for you to be informed about My human manifestation in Jesus Christ …. For your maturing, too, solely depends on the fact that you are truthfully instructed about the significance of Jesus and His act of Salvation for you humans. For although he lived on earth as a human being and as a human being concluded His life with His crucifixion, He was nevertheless only the outer shell of the Eternal Divine Spirit, He only served Me Myself as a shell, because I wanted to make Myself visible in Him, since no being was able to behold Me in My full abundance of strength and light without ceasing to exist.

And this great secret of My human manifestation can only be revealed to you by Me, albeit you humans will never be able to comprehend it completely as long as you are not yet perfect. If, however, you are truthfully instructed about this very problem of My human manifestation in Jesus you will no longer be in danger of taking a wrong path, for once you have this knowledge you have already attained a certain degree of maturity, and then you will only ever turn to Me, Whom you have recognised in Jesus. Yet this is what My adversary wants to stop or prevent, and therefore he will lead people into misconceptions and above all try to prevent a truthful explanation about ‘God’s manifestation in Jesus’ …. By means of constant new formulations and wrong portrayals he will not generate clarity in people, and then he will have succeeded so that neither I nor the human being Jesus can be clearly recognised, for he will always want to create two concepts of God and Jesus, although only one God exists, Who is at all times approachable in Jesus.

Anyone who knows the truth will not allow himself to be worried by this, and he will also identify every teaching which is different as error. And yet, the adversary will have many followers with his portrayal of Jesus, Who has achieved a high degree of maturity as a human being but Who will always be explained to people as ‘existing outside of God’ …. when he disguises himself as a spirit of light before those who do not completely reject Jesus …. And you can always particularly apply this criterion for truth when God’s human manifestation in Jesus is emphasised as being true. This will always be an assured attribute of a divine instruction. For only I can reveal this secret of My human manifestation to you, and you may justifiably discard everything which contradicts My information. Every single school of thought endorses its spiritual knowledge as truth, yet as long as they still differ from each other great care has to be taken and, above all, a serious desire for truth is required in order to be able to recognise it as such. Nevertheless, it is up to each person whether he sincerely desires the truth, he alone has to make the decision, and thus he also determines the teacher who will instruct him. He cannot be offered any misguided spiritual knowledge if he sincerely entrusts himself to Me and appeals to Me for truth …. This sincere appeal is required by Me but it will surely be granted.

But anyone who knows My directly transmitted Word to earth and does not use it as a criterion has not yet opened his heart to the truth either, otherwise he would feel that no other spiritual knowledge can be likened to it if it contains other concepts and notions which contradict the truth from Me. Consequently, if a person does not recognise the pure truth his degree of maturity is still so low that My adversary is able to use him as a vessel in order to deceive countless people through him again and lure them into error …. Truth always and forever remains the same, it does not change and cannot be offered to one person like this and to another like that …. as far as its fundamental essence is concerned ….

You humans will always have to be vigilant if you want to possess the pure truth, so that you will not get ensnared by the adversary who is always keen to work in the same manner, and he will be successful too if the person is indifferent or purely expects sensations, which he anticipates from contact with the supernatural world. What I offer to people will always take place within the framework of natural law and only the contents will provide a genuine seeker with the certainty that I Am the source Myself, and he will gladly accept the spiritual information, he will increase his knowledge, his inner light, and then no error will be able to confuse him any longer for he will identify and resist it …. Yet My adversary’s activity will not lessen, and people give him the right to it. If they would only ever desire the pure truth he would be unable to interfere, in that case only My messengers of light would be at work fending off everything impure, unspiritual, and protecting the human being from its influence. And your criterion for truth can always be applied by how Jesus and His act of Salvation and My human manifestation in Him are portrayed to you. Only virtuous, illuminated spiritual beings exist in utmost truth and also pass it on to people on My instructions.

As soon as the Deity and Jesus are portrayed to you as two beings you are not being truthfully taught, for I and He are one …. I Myself, the highest and most perfect Spirit in eternity, manifested Myself in the human being Jesus, in His human shell, in order to become a visible God for you, My created beings, Whom you are able to love with all your heart and Who also wants to be loved by you …. And thus you should only believe the spirit which teaches this to you ….

Amen

Psychic receptions – Credibility ….

B.D. 8695 from December 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You, who received My commission to distribute the pure truth, must also be informed about everything yourselves in order to be able to form a clear opinion about the value of spiritual conclusions which are advocated by your fellow human beings as truth. You should know that both valuable as well as worthless connections are being established with the spiritual world, that beings from all spheres of the spiritual kingdom want to make themselves heard by you, that they try to transfer their thoughts to you and that the human being himself is the determining factor of which beings will be able to approach him. And the desire for truth is always decisive but this is often displaced by the desire for experiencing the unusual, so that the craving to learn something unknown from the psychic world takes priority …. although with the best intention to act and think righteously and good …. Such opportunities are also used by the inhabitants of the spiritual world of light which want to lead people to the right path and thus also try to influence them to deepen their attitude regarding the spiritual realm and to especially draw their attention to the fact that love is the first and most important commandment. Therefore any advice to love can be considered as corresponding to My will. The purity and the will of the recipient who receives messages in a psychic state also determine the quality of these messages …. However, it also depends on the spiritual state of the circle of listeners, on their attained spiritual maturity …. And the flawed thoughts of an immature person alone are enough to enable impure spirits to slip in; they likewise make use of a medium in a state of trance and then often repel the messengers of light, because forces of darkness gather wherever the opportunity presents itself to speak through a human being who has given up his own will …. who therefore speaks in a psychic state of mind …. The purer the circle and the greater the harmony within as well as the desire only to be truthfully instructed the more credible will be the results, but then they will also concur with the teaching which is conveyed to you directly from above, thus their authenticity will be beyond doubt, for countless beings of light try to gain access to people from the world of the beyond and impart the truth to them on My instructions. Yet these beings of light will time and again try to influence people into establishing the connection with the spiritual world in an awake, conscious state, they will enlighten them about the ‘working of the spirit’ in a person and aim to encourage them to enter into heartfelt contact with Me, which will enable them to receive profound knowledge which cannot be conveyed to earth in a psychic way …. in a state of trance. For I Myself promised you humans the working of My spirit, and you can and should believe My Words …. But the fact that My adversary’s working will also strongly come to light cannot be denied, and he will always make an effort to confuse the concepts ….

He will use psychically inclined people in the same way in order to speak through them, yet only ever with words which lack all coherence, words which intend to feign wisdom but are sheerest nonsense.

You can put this to the test yourselves by questioning what kind of spiritual benefit you can gain from transmissions which, on closer inspection …. on the basis of My Word …. utterly contradict the truth. Then spirits will answer which are still unenlightened, which still possess a certain amount of worldly knowledge and …. since they diligently supported it on earth …. will also try to pass it on to people now. They enshroud themselves in the garment of an angel of light, indeed, they even use Jesus’ name for their transmissions because they don’t recognise Him as ‘God’ and thus avail themselves of a human name …. And although, in order to mislead people, they grant Him an exalted mission, they nevertheless only do this with the intention of stopping people from thinking correctly and to belittle Jesus’ work of Salvation, thus preventing them from calling upon Myself in Jesus. They try to lead people completely astray about Jesus’ mission on earth and My human manifestation in Him …. Transmissions from the spiritual world which fail to offer truthful clarification that a pure soul of light dwelled within the man Jesus, which so shaped the body that it could become an abode for Me …. that I Myself, therefore, accomplished the act of Salvation in Jesus and the complete unity of Jesus with Me took place …. that I and Jesus are one …. can always be rejected by you as error and as a deliberate deception by spirits in the beyond. They are especially active during the last days before the end in order to cause confusion in circles which want to do what is right but have not awakened their spirit as yet, so that it can grant them the gift of discernment in order to be able to keep divine and ungodly revelations apart ….

People are unaware of the fact that they will always have to fight the forces of darkness, and specifically in the last days, because the latter want to prevent people from becoming enlightened, and that the only assurance not to fall prey to them is to desire the light directly from Me, and this sincere appeal to receive the truth will also establish the connection with Me, which then will also ensure your correct protection from the activity of these forces. But it isn’t always love for Me and therefore for truth as well, but generally only inquisitiveness for an insight into spheres which are still closed to them. People know that earthly life alone is not the reason for the existence as a human being, and they certainly try to obtain information but believe that forces from the beyond will only ever instruct them truthfully and thereby only provide the adversary with more opportunities to confuse their thinking. However, it can help a person to think correctly if he sincerely desires the truth, if, according to his sincerity, his maturity of soul and his desire, beings of light enter such a ‘spiritual communication’, which certainly realise to whom they can convey pure truth. Yet they will always try to educate a person to the point that he will no longer require an aide …. no mediums which receive transmissions from the spiritual kingdom …. but that he shall establish such heartfelt connection with Me Myself in order to let himself be addressed by Me directly or to enter into contact with the right bearers of light who will impart the right and true spiritual knowledge, which he will therefore also recognise as truth, because he has already awakened the spirit within himself which will guide him into truth …. A person can certainly be warned about futile communication with the spiritual world …. But he cannot nor should he be prevented from it, because there is always the possibility that thereby he will come to believe in a continuation of life after death and he can also be shown the right path if he is serious about knowing the truth. Anything that reveals the will to act right before Me is good, yet first and foremost be warned of anything that only serves to satisfy the senses or to increase earthly knowledge, for no blessing will ever rest on it and a person like that will never be able to recognise the truth and always rather believe teachings which are still far from the truth and will never originate from Me. For this reason I Myself mentioned as a sign to recognise the truth of spiritual receptions the characteristic that you should check whether the enigma of My human manifestation in Jesus is revealed to you such as I Myself explain it to you through My Word, through the working of My spirit within you …. Reject that which does not correspond to My Word conveyed to you from above, no matter how many fine words are used to demonstrate a divine source to you …. My adversary also uses such words, he will stop at nothing because he wants to keep people in the dark …. because he knows that truth is a light which unmasks him and his activity …. And he will always seek to extinguish or obscure it ….

Amen

Knowledge about Jesus Christ is of utmost importance ….

B.D. 8696 from December 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The fact that you repeatedly receive explanations about Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation is because people only slightly or rarely believe in it anymore, for their thoughts are too focussed on worldly affairs and the act of Salvation is a spiritual event which cannot be grasped by a worldly directed mind. Yet people are only on earth for a spiritual purpose, and if this spiritual purpose is not accomplished then the human being’s life was lived in vain, and the soul falls back into the abyss again from where it had worked its way up over an infinitely long period of time with God’s help. If it is possible to make people understand the spiritual reason for the act of Salvation and Jesus’ mission, much will be gained, for then they will no longer reject Him but they will try to mentally empathise and to comprehend His way of life on earth ….

However, humanity is not very willing and inclined to receive spiritual instructions …. unless it is rudely awakened from its normal life by overwhelming events and painful occurrences and starts to think. And for this reason such fateful happenings cannot stop either. But by and large they will then indeed remember their God and Creator and appeal to Him when they need help …. And the fact that they acknowledge Him at all as a Power Which created them and also determines the human beings’ destiny is beneficial for the soul in itself ….

And yet it is of utmost importance to attain the correct knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, because the human being will always remain too weak to live a way of life in accordance with God’s will if he does not make use of the flow of strength which Jesus acquired through His death on the cross and which is now accessible to every human being as grace …. Only when a human being very strongly revives his faith in God will he be able to receive the flow of strength from God Himself, but this person will then also turn to Jesus without doubt, he will be open to every instruction he receives about Him and His act of Salvation, and he will let himself be redeemed by appealing to Him for forgiveness of his guilt.

Nevertheless, during the last days before the end this knowledge about Jesus will become very faded, people will only know of the purely human events, and they will not judge them as any different than those of other people with the same fate, for in their darkened spiritual state they will lack the knowledge about all correlations, they will not be able to explain it to themselves properly, and thus they will discard everything they have heard about Jesus and His act of Salvation into the realm of myth.

They won’t know that it concerns a highly significant spiritual mystery, an act of profound spiritual reason which is of immense significance for the salvation of the human being’s soul, for his beatitude in the spiritual kingdom which will last eternally, and therefore they won’t take the trouble to discover the truth about it either, but rather reject everything and won’t believe in Jesus’ existence, or they will exclude all knowledge they possess of Him from their thoughts so as not to be bothered by it …. therefore they will miss the purpose of their lives, they will only live for earthly goals and won’t endeavour in their return to God which is only possible through Jesus Christ, and their earthly life will be lived in vain and can lead to a repeated banishment in the creations of earth ….

And God’s adversary will always promote this attitude of people, he will do everything in order to completely prevent the knowledge about Jesus and His act of Salvation, or he will spread such misguided teachings in this respect that people will fall away by themselves and thereby obstruct their path to Him. But they are living as human beings on earth as a consequence of their immense original sin due to their past apostasy from God, and until this original sin is not redeemed they will be unable to return to God, because God’s justice demands an atonement which was paid by the human being Jesus, and therefore He has to be acknowledged as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world …. Who made it possible for the Eternal Deity Himself to suffer within the human shell of Jesus and to die for the sins of all humankind ….

Amen
