Purification of earth ....

I want to purify the earth and turn it into a place of peace again, where love will reign and where I will be able to stay amongst My Own because their love for Me allows Me to do so .... But first a purification process has to take place, My adversary’s activity has to be stopped, and thus he has to be chained up together with his followers .... that is, all souls enslaved by him have to be banished into hard matter again, all spiritual substances on the path of higher development have to be placed into forms which correspond to their state of maturity; and thus My adversary has lost all power, for the spiritual substances which will travel the path across earth in the state of compulsion again will have been removed from him .... and the people whose will he was able to influence have turned away from him and came back to Me for good, so that they, as root of the new human race, can no longer be bothered by him. All power, which he associates with his adherents, has been taken from him, for he has no control over the spiritual substances bound in matter, in the creations of earth .... And there will be peace on earth again for a long time ....

Hence it has to be preceded by a purification process, and this will come about through a work of destruction of inconceivable proportions, for a total transformation of the entire earth’s surface will occur, all creations will be disintegrated and shaped anew, which also means the downfall of all people and living beings, the disappearance of everything that shelters spiritual substances .... Although the creation work ‘Earth’ will indeed remain yet the power of natural forces will penetrate far into the core, dissolve the solid matter and give all constrained spirits the opportunity to receive new forms. For everything has become disorderly because people live and act in complete opposition to My eternal order .... Consequently, everything has to be arranged anew, which first requires the disintegration of the works of creation which, to you humans, is the same as your downfall, for no-one will survive the end apart from those who will be taken away by Me before the end ....

Yet this last event will only be dreadful for the human being, because his soul will be banished into solid matter again, whereas the development of all other spiritual substances can only advance, for new forms will be created for all spiritual substances to shelter them .... And the creations on the new earth will be incomparably delightful, and the spiritual substances will be given the opportunity to be of active service again whereby all spirits will be able to ascend and time and again change their present form.

This work of transformation of the old earth is about to happen to you humans .... And although you don’t know the day and the hour, you, who do not want to be doomed, who want to belong to Me and not suffer the dreadful judgment of a new banishment, should prepare yourselves for the end .... Believe that you live in the time of the end and consider the thought that you are creating your own fate .... that you can exceedingly blissfully live a glorious life in the paradise of the new earth .... but that you can also descend into utter darkness, if you are not granted the grace to be called back before in order to still find the opportunity of ascent in the beyond .... And take your psychological work seriously, that is, live a life of unselfish neighbourly love and you will thereby establish the bond with Me and without doubt be saved from this downfall. Time and again I will send you My messengers to admonish and warn you, and time and again you will hear of or be afflicted by all kinds of misfortunes and disasters, for they all are reminders for you to consider a sudden departure and your souls’ fate, if it has not yet reached the state to enter My kingdom of light and beatitude ....

I don’t want you to go astray, I want you to achieve eternal life, but you humans live irresponsibly, you don’t consider Me and neither do you consider your soul’s fate after the death of your body .... And your attention shall repeatedly be drawn to the fact that you are approaching a dreadful fate .... that you, banished into hardest matter again, will have to start the path of evolution all over again in inexpressible agony and distress .... but that you will be able to prevent this fate if you listen to Me, if you believe those who proclaim in My name that you are shortly before the end .... For the time is fulfilled and it will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Love and suffering purify the soul ....

Love should be the driving force for all your deeds and failings .... then you will always do My will, you will work with love and thereby also attain the strength needed by your soul for your path of earthly life. The soul is meant to mature fully, that is, it is meant to push away all impurities it is still burdened with, it is meant to become translucent so it is able to accept My love’s emanation of light which signifies strength and bliss for the soul. But My ray of love cannot penetrate it if the soul is still surrounded by dense layers, by impure longings and instincts, by all kinds of vices, by low characteristics such as pride, anger, vindictiveness .... by any kind of unkindness ....

The soul has to try to free itself from all these faults and longings, and the means for this are love and suffering .... The impurities dissolve through deeds of love, but the soul will also be released from them through suffering, and it can be ever more illuminated by My love and mature until it has become completely translucent, and then it need not fear death anymore, because then it can enter the kingdom of light, because its earthly progress has not been in vain since it has reached its goal on earth: the transformation of itself into love .... And therefore you will understand that My commandments of love are of utmost importance, that they have to be fulfilled, that your life on earth has to be a life of love if it is to be successful for you. You are only on earth for the maturity of your soul which, at the start of its incarnation as a human being, is still without love .... although I have provided it with a spark of love which can ignite and change the soul’s still imperfect state until it is close to perfection .... But the person also has to muster the will to live a life of love .... He has to listen to his inner voice which constantly urges him to act with love .... He has to perform deeds of love or his soul won’t change but will keep its lowly attributes and is then in danger of entering the kingdom of the beyond in a completely immature state, which means, that it will still have to go through torments of purification there in order to be able to enjoy happiness one day ....

Only love will release it from all impure attributes, only love will crystallise it and it will push all impurities away from itself .... or it will have to accept much suffering during its earthly life which can also mature the soul, because this calms it down and gradually also ignites the spark of love within itself, and then love and suffering work together and achieve the soul’s maturity. And the human being should always reject his selfish love and give love to his neighbour .... Then he will change quickly, for only unselfish neighbourly love is the true, divine love which I demand, which the soul has to change into by itself during its earthly progress as a human being if it wants to attain eternal life. And therefore My divine commandments of love always have to be emphasised as the most important, for only love has the redeeming strength, only love will be able to achieve the soul’s transformation .... Only through deeds of love will it mature and become bright and clear, so that My emanation of love will find no more obstacles, so that I can then make it blissfully happy as in the beginning .... because through love it will find union with Me, which is its purpose and goal of earthly progress ....

The soul’s individuality ....

For the sake of complete clarity I want to give you a further explanation: The spiritual being I brought into life, that is, which I externalised from Me as something spiritually tangible, cannot be denied individuality .... This being was created in My image; it was externalised by Me into infinity as entirely separate; it was self-aware and therefore also recognised itself as a thinking being with free will .... It was a miniature of Me Myself, but so minute compared to My fundamental fullness that one can indeed speak of a ‘tiny spark’ from the fiery sea of My strength of love .... And yet it was an individual with self-determination, except that through the influx of strength of love it was constantly in contact with Me, but it did not hinder the being in any way .... It was free and full of light and strength .... It was a divine creature which had come forth from Me in supreme perfection and from My side experienced no limitation of any kind. Any limitation or restriction of its light and strength was caused by itself because it was able to make its own choices .... And the same also applies to all spiritual beings which the first-created spirit brought into life through its will with the use of My strength .... They, too, were supremely perfect, every being was conscious of itself and thus an individual which was able to be separately and fully independently active in the spiritual kingdom in free will. Hence no being was bound to Me and My characteristics by force, every being moved freely and separately within the spiritual creations and was inconceivably happy. If therefore a ‘fall of the spirits’ is spoken of .... a descent of the original spirits into the abyss, it should be understood such that the beings refused to receive My illumination of love, that they rejected the flow of My strength of love, which ceaselessly poured out of Me and permeated everything with light and strength .... They no longer accepted My spirit, My love, they separated themselves from Me deliberately but would never be able to fade away again because they were and will forever remain My emanated strength of love. Each fallen original spirit was a being in its own right, an ‘individual’ .... and will remain so for all eternity .... It strove away from the Eternal Light, from the Primary Source, and therefore deprived itself of all light and strength ....

But the original spirit remained the being which once came forth from Me in supreme perfection. Even if the infinitely long process of guiding the spiritual being back to Me, where this being is dissolved and its tiny particles have to go through all creations .... all these particles come together again and, after endlessly long periods of time, form the self-aware being again .... the fallen original spirit .... so that shortly before its perfection as the human being’s soul it can make a free decision again as to whether it wants to return to the realm of the blessed spirits or whether it will infinitely prolong its return again as a result of its own opposition .... However, the self-aware being .... the human being .... shelters as soul the spirit I once externalised, which will always and forever remain the same individual that once originated from Me .... It was perfect and chose the abyss of its own free will but it did not cease to exist, it did not become fragmented, it is and forever remains the self-aware being, with the exception of the path of return through the creations when its self-awareness is taken away, when it is dissolved and in the state of compulsion takes the path of higher development .... And even if the being has to travel the path through the creations more than once .... it will always remain the same self-aware being which once turned away from Me, which rejected the strength of My love and thus deliberately separated itself from Me despite the fact that this can never happen because everything that emerges from Me will always be inseparably connected to Me. Thus the ‘apostasy of the spirits’ is also to be understood literally .... The self-aware being I once emanated fell because I did not stop it and because it was able to determine its own fate in free will. And this spiritual being must return to Me again in supreme perfection if it wants to unite with Me in order to be incomparably happy forever .... For as soon as I can permeate it with My love again it will also regain its original state. However it always remains aware of itself .... it is lovingly united with Me and yet a free being which nevertheless has entirely entered into My will and therefore can create and work with Me in inconceivable happiness ....

Amen

Reason for divine revelations ....

Let My grace be sufficient for you .... and patiently bear all burden imposed on you to serve your soul’s state of maturity .... and grant Me your ear so that you can hear My voice .... open your heart to let My ray of love enter and penetrate you with My spirit: Time and again I convey My revelations to you humans, time and again I speak to people through the mouth of a servant who is devoted to Me and I truly don’t do so without reason .... I know that it is necessary to provide people with a light where darkness exists in their hearts. And I know that the darkness will get worse the closer it gets to the end. I also know who still seeks to escape the night, who strives towards the light of dawn, who is grateful to Me for a light which illuminates the path for him. And these are the ones I seek to address through you, who want to serve Me. I also know how they think .... where they err and therefore where their faith in Me is at risk because they have no clear concept of Me and yet deliberate on it .... I want to help them and clarify those things which appear doubtful to them, because I want to help them gain a convinced faith in Me as the most perfect being Which is love, wisdom and power within Itself .... And thus I manifest Myself, I Myself address people and convey purest truth to them, which they can and indeed will accept if only they are of good will. Every thinking person is occupied with a different problem .... and if they receive a light they will immerse themselves increasingly deeper into spiritual knowledge, which is always beneficial .... both for the person himself as well as for Me, Who only ever wants people to reach the goal they were given for their life on earth. Some problems needing clarification are especially important: People must be given the right knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, because they must acknowledge Him without fail in order to free themselves from the opposing power .... They must be informed of this adversary and what he signifies for people .... and they must know that their time on earth as a human being was caused by him in the first place .... Hence they must also learn about the spiritual correlations, about their very first beginning and their goal .... They must know what they are, what they had been and what they shall become again .... This knowledge makes people live more responsibly and precisely this knowledge was distorted time and again through the adversary’s influence, and thus people are often misguided .... And since My adversary also has great power at his disposal, which manifests itself particularly strongly at the end of a period of Salvation, he has also succeeded time and again in interspersing My pure truth with errors .... thus motivating Me time and again to counter it with the pure truth, because I want to help people to fulfil their last short task in life.

If therefore a person knows the truth, then he will own a brightly radiating light which the adversary avoids .... Error, however, permits the adversary’s continued influence and is a danger for the person .... Thus you can understand that I will repeatedly transmit the pure truth to earth but that it will not stay that way for long, that it will not remain as pure as it was when it originated from Me .... As soon as the light is clouded its radiance is no longer as clear as to guarantee a correct understanding. And the fact that the light became clouded through human will is disclosed again by the fact that I reveal Myself anew, which would not be necessary if people lived in the light of truth. I truly know why I speak to people again with all urgency .... I know that they have no clear understanding of their existence as human beings either and I know why I must give them precisely this information if I want them to acknowledge the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and recognise Me Myself in Him .... People shall acquire a clear idea about it, consequently I Myself instruct them in the most understandable way and everyone will be delighted about knowledge he recognises as purest truth, because it originated from Me directly. Even thinking people will accept this information, for I do not demand blind faith. It is My will that a person shall think about it, otherwise he will be unable to distinguish between truth and error. And because the darkness constantly increases, the light, too, will shine extraordinarily bright, and it only requires the desire for light in order to become enlightened. For truly, I Am determined by My love, wisdom and power to confront both Mine and your enemy of life, so that you will find your way out of the darkness and be able to escape his control .... Wisdom knows your state of peril, love wants to help you and power will truly use the right means for it .... And I will bless you, who voluntarily serve Me, for I do not forcibly influence people and neither can My adversary do so .... The Eternal Light reveals Itself to all those of you who want to flee the spiritual night ....

The Word-reception is an act of freewill ....

I need you, My servants on earth .... For I cannot compel people by means of extraordinary deeds to believe in a God and Creator if they do not yet possess this belief. And were I to speak audibly to people from above you would lose your freedom of will, they would have to believe and would only ever be under this impression and inevitably comply with My will. However, on the other hand, they need to be addressed because they suffer great spiritual hardship, and therefore I have to speak to them through a human mouth and leave it up to their free will whether they want to accept My Word or not .... I need you, and you yourselves will also understand it; you will feel My presence and know that it is your heavenly Father Who speaks to you, Who only ever stimulates you to communicate with your fellow human beings and to inform them of My extraordinary working in you .... although it is only extraordinary for those who are not yet aware of My love and mercy, which includes all people who still do not know Me and therefore do not try to find any kind of contact with Me .... And to these I want to reveal Myself as a Father Who has His children’s welfare at heart; I want to reveal Myself to them as a God of love, wisdom and might .... And I need you, My servants, so that I can address people through you. For not many instruments are at My disposal because it is an act of free will to receive My Word, which also necessitates prerequisites which are not very often to be found within people. Profound faith gained through love has to stimulate them into listening within themselves .... they must consciously expect My address, hold on to it and always be willing to pass on what they receive. Only profound faith will prompt them to listen within, and I will only be able to reveal Myself, if a person makes contact with Me in this faith and allows Me to speak to him.

The fact that I so urgently require you to spread the information you receive is due to the great ignorance of those people who only live their earthly life with earthly oriented thoughts, who know and believe nothing .... nothing at all .... about the kingdom which is beyond this earth and which one day they will enter when their physical life has come to an end. They are in grave danger for they cannot cease to exist because their souls will continue to live after the death of their body. And the fate of these souls will not be a pleasant one, for they will enter the kingdom of the beyond in complete darkness, they will have to endure much suffering and pain until a small glimmer of light shines for them .... I still want to provide people with this small glimmer of light before the end. I only want to help them to establish contact with their God and Creator themselves, so that they will spend thought on Him and thus enable Me to influence their thoughts Myself .... For this reason I try to speak to them, and you shall help Me so that I can express Myself according to your willingness and that fellow human beings will receive knowledge of it .... You should allow yourselves to be taught by Me and then pass on your knowledge, but always in unchanged form, for that which originates from Me is pure truth and shall be imparted unspoilt if it is to be effective as light within the human hearts which have little light of their own. And you truly render Me a service for which I will bless you, for I love all My living creations and not one of them shall go astray for an infinitely long time again. And this is why My strength of love will flow to you time and again as long as you want to be of service to Me. I Myself will demonstrate My presence to you by the fact that you, too, will be extraordinarily affected by My revelations, for I no longer need to worry about compulsory faith with you, who testify to your faith every day by waiting for My Words and working for Me ....

Amen

The last catastrophe ....

God’s voice will get through and get people who thoughtlessly sleep to wake up, even though they are in grave danger. To those who let themselves be awakened and recognize His voice, a light will be shining, leading them out from the dark night. However, whoever does not pay attention to His voice, that one’s fate has been decided upon for eternal times. But the one who has created all of you does not leave you without warning when difficulties hit the earth, which are planned in the salvation plan of God from eternity. Again and again He warns and reminds people in speaking to them by the most various ways; and the ones who pay attention to His faint voice when they perceive it, won’t be frightened by the coming events when He will speak with the voice of thunder to all who, until now, kept their ears shut from His words of love and mercy.

And He will, by means of the forces of nature, speak to them and none of them will be able to ignore this voice; for people are endangered and as they fear for their life the possibility of turning their thoughts to Him Who is mighty exists, Whom they accept as God and Creator. And in calling upon Him they are also saved for time and eternity. But whoever then will still be stubborn, will not be spared the terrible lot of the re-capture into matter. And there won’t be much time to pass on any more until all of you people will be startled by an announcement of an inestimable catastrophe and you will be petrified of the disaster that has affected countless people. But it is prophesied to you from the beginning of this earth-period; because it is included in the salvation plan of God from eternity.

But people never ever think of a natural happening of such extent to be possible at all; and to those who survive it it will be given a very thorough proof of a higher power at work, that all the earthly will pass away and man is at the mercy of that power when not joined to It on one’s own, and to be dedicated to the God and Father, asking Him for mercy. For He only wants to reveal Himself to mankind in distinctly speaking to it, so they’ll have to hear His voice. And in repeatedly pointing this out He only wants to achieve their joining to Him beforehand in order to then be able to withstand and also to experience His protection when the day of horror has arrived.

Yet His announcements by seers and prophets are not believed; and even though man is from time to time stricken by divine interventions on a small scale, it’s just merely the affected ones who are touched, but the others remain indifferent just as soon as the first horror has passed. And there’s just little spiritual gain to be noticed. Yet, to all those who let God Himself speak to themselves, who believed His words and who therefore belong to His people, messages shall again and again be passed on of the occurrence of that immense natural happening to be not far away. They are to draw strength from His word because they will need just that in order to remain steadfast and to pass on comfort and enlightenment to their neighbors who are in deepest physical and spiritual need. And every prayer that reaches Him He will listen to and will grant strength and help to all who call upon God, their Creator, in deepest distress. And every prayer that reaches His ear He will listen to and grant strength and help to all those who call upon their God and Creator. And even though they’ll have to give their life, they have found their ties to God and now don’t have to dread anymore the lot of those who are entirely devoid of any faith and therefore still belong to the one who wants to bring ruin upon them.

There will yet an opportunity be given to all people to get to know their God and Creator and every individual person decides upon one’s own lot. And the most horrible happenings for man can be the way to Him, the Might of Whom he/she once emerged from. And hence it was a blessing for the one, even though countless people are snatched away. They may enter into the other kingdom with a glimpse of light in the heart when they, yet at last, did get to know and accept their God and Creator, when they call upon Him in deepest distress who then also reveals Himself to them.

Do believe it you people, you are approaching this event that will unexpectedly descend upon you and is such a distinct voice from above that everybody who is of good will ought to recognize it. And everyone will hear it, for it is powerful and is yet a last reminder, for shortly after that the end comes like proclaimed.

Faith in God’s presence ....

I Am present to you as soon as you make contact with Me in spirit and in truth .... But you humans still search for Me in the distance; only a few hand themselves over to Me like a child and thereby establish the right relationship with Me ..... The majority of people certainly speaks about a God and Creator, they believe in an exceedingly powerful Being, but they also deem this Being to be infinitely far away; they don’t know that I would like to be in contact with them as their God and Creator and that they need only establish this contact, because they distanced themselves from Me and thus they must also strive towards Me again. But neither are they capable of heartfelt prayer , that is, of communicating with Me in spirit and in truth, or even just of sending a sincerely felt call from the heart to Me. They merely use memorised prayers which are of no value to Me, which I do not hear and therefore cannot grant either .... I want to be called upon in spirit and in truth, I want that heartfelt thoughts ascend to Me which will induce Me to lean down to the petitioner, to draw close and be present to him .... Yet blessed are those who have already established this heartfelt bond and through a prayer in spirit and truth motivate Me to be present to them, to whom I therefore can also speak, in thought or audibly, if their state of maturity allows for it. You should only yearn for and allow My presence, for My presence also necessitates a purified heart which love has prepared for Me as an abode in which I Myself can dwell .... But if you humans believe in a God with Whom you can make contact, your way of life will also be a life of love otherwise you would not have this faith .... For faith will only come alive through love .... Humanity, however, is devoid of all love, love has grown cold amongst people .... This is why a living faith is only rarely to be found, a faith which seeks Me and motivates a person to make contact with Me, for love is already the bond with Me, the human being draws Me close to himself and induces Me to be present .... And thus love alone determines the relationship between the human being and Me. Where love is kindled in the heart, a gentle inner urging to reach Me can already be felt .... Consequently, the loving person will also pray in spirit and in truth, for the love within establishes the connection with the Eternal Love .... with Me, Who can then be present to him. And once I Am present I can also speak to him, I can guide his thoughts, I can grant him a wealth of thoughts which he can only receive from Me directly .... I Myself can work in him, as I have promised .... However, My presence is always essential, only kind-hearted activity will motivate Me to be present to him.

But how far have people distanced themselves from Me as a result of their heartless life .... They cannot recognise Me because they are still spiritually unenlightened and thus make it impossible for Me to take direct effect in them through mental communications, for they cannot hear My Words in their distance to God and even if their fellow human beings informed them they wouldn’t understand .... It is also difficult to make them believe in a God Who wants to be their Father, Who wants to give pleasure to them as children if they look for this bond with Him .... They cannot believe because they have no love within themselves which would awaken the faith in the first place. Therefore they will not be capable of praying in spirit and in truth .... unless great adversity overwhelms them and they call upon the powerful Creator of Heaven and Earth, Who also created them .... And if such a call comes from the heart I will hear and grant it .... Nevertheless, only I know the heart of every individual person, and only I know whether earthly help is a blessing for him or whether a premature recall into the kingdom of the beyond is more favourable for the soul which can no longer find Me on earth ....

Love imparts realisation ....

I want to speak to you so that you will gain knowledge which corresponds to the truth and according to this knowledge learn to look upon your whole earthly life with entirely different eyes .... so that you will subsequently live it in full awareness of your connection with Me and prepare yourselves to continuously receive strength .... For you humans are weak as long as you don’t lay claim to My influx of strength. Although the energy of life is at your disposal, you nevertheless do not use it according to My will, so that you, at best, at the end of your life will have gathered earthly possessions which you must leave behind when the hour of death arrives .... If, however, you live according to My will then you will be able to use your vital energy to acquire permanent possessions as well which will follow you into the spiritual kingdom. Through constant contact with Me you can also acquire spiritual strength, and only then will you accomplish your actual purpose of earthly life. And thus I want to impart the knowledge of this to you, because you will continue to lack realisation as long as you lack love .... as long as you do not accomplish labours of love although your energy of life enables you to do so .... Hence it is My will that you make an effort to live a life of love .... Then you will gather spiritual wealth and kindle a light in yourselves which signifies realisation for you .... knowledge, which corresponds to the truth. Then you will also establish the connection with Me and strength can be conveyed to you directly, and you will cover the path of ascent, you will strive towards attaining perfection and reach the goal, which is the purpose of your earthly life. But as long as you are entirely without knowledge, you are spiritually blind and only live for this earth. You are entirely earthly minded and only use the earthly vitality of life purely for your body’s well-being but fail to consider your soul. The body, however, is transient, whereas the soul cannot cease to exist, and you should take care of your soul’s fate .... It needs strength, and it can only receive it from you if you accomplish loving deeds, if you unite with Me in heartfelt prayer, if you enable Me to convey strength to you directly: if you allow Me Myself to speak to you ....

Then you will receive a measure of strength which enables you to live in the right way on this earth. The direct Word is a direct transfer of strength of utmost significance; therefore, I will always be willing to speak to you, because you all need much strength, because all of you practice too little love and consequently only receive a modest influx of strength of love .... But I want to stimulate you to love, I want to instruct you in all truthfulness what you should do on earth in order to become as blissfully happy as you were in the beginning .... I want to kindle a light in you because you walk in darkness, yet you must be willing to accept the light; you must voluntarily open yourselves to listen to My Word and you will always do so if you, who don’t hear Me directly, willingly listen to My messengers who impart My Words to you. Then your willingness to listen to Me will be a great blessing for you, for the strength will flow into you since My Word is blessed with My strength .... And the light in you will increase in radiance the more often you offer Me the opportunity to address you. Your knowledge will grow and you will feel that it is true what is imparted to you. For only truth has the strength to guide you towards perfection. And if you want to gain possession of the truth, then you must hand yourselves over to Me Myself, the Eternal Truth .... You must unite with Me in prayer or through kind-hearted activity and always keep your will directed towards Me .... And you will be imbued with truthful knowledge, I Myself gave you the promise that I will guide you into truth .... that I will send you My spirit .... that I Myself will remain with you until the end .... And where I Am, there is truth .... where I Am, there is love, and where I Am, there is also the Source of strength of eternity .... Therefore, you should only ever yearn for My proximity, My presence, and truly, you will not go without, you will not have lived your earthly life in vain, you will be able to receive light and strength in abundance and, after your death, you will be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude ....

‘And the Word was made flesh ....’

‘And the Word was made flesh and lived among us ....’ I Myself, the eternal Word, came to earth and became flesh .... It was an act of overwhelming love and mercy that had moved Me to make contact with the human beings who had distanced themselves from Me to a point that they were no longer able to hear My voice, that they could no longer hear My Word within themselves, and who did not have a relationship with the Word of eternity any more .... They had caused this vast distance from Me themselves, and they would never have been able to bridge this distance on their own, they would never have been able to hear My Word again such as it was in the beginning when I could communicate with all My living creations through the Word .... For this reason My love has bridged the vast distance Itself .... I Myself came to earth and became flesh and then tried to get in touch with My living creations in order to speak to them again and to build a bridge for them which would lead them back to Me into the kingdom of light and bliss ....

I Am the eternal Word Myself but I could not have spoken directly to any human being from above without placing those who once had originated from Me as free living creations into a state of compulsion. They had to cross the bridge to Me voluntarily and I could only achieve that by means of My Word which, however, should not sound extraordinary but like the spoken word between human beings. And for this reason I became flesh .... I took abode in the human cover of Jesus and spoke to people through Him .... But it was My Word which now was spoken to them, and through this Word I was able to show people the way. I was able to instruct them and tell them My will, I was able to reveal the Gospel to them, the divine teaching of love, which should once again change their souls to a state which would enable every person to hear My Word within himself if this was his sincere will .... But first humanity had to be released from sin and death. The former guilt of sin, caused by the apostasy from Me, first had to be redeemed, so that the subsequent bond with Me could be crowned by the ‘pouring out of My spirit’ .... so that the human being himself could hear My voice within himself again as it was in the beginning ....

‘And the Word was made flesh and lived amongst us ....’ Only few people understand the meaning of these words; the eternal Word came to earth Itself because humanity was in greatest difficulty, it was not aware of its wretched condition, of its lack of light, of the spiritual darkness in which it lived .... It was completely separate from Me and did nothing to reduce its vast distance from Me. The only way to help people was by means of instructions which corresponded to the truth .... They had to be informed of their God and Creator’s will, and this will had to be conveyed to them by Myself .... I had to speak to them Myself and could only do so through a human being .... Thus I embodied Myself in this human being, and only in this manner was it possible to instruct people truthfully, to draw their attention to their wrong way of life, to inform them of My will and exemplify the kind of life they should lead themselves in order to escape their spiritual darkness, in order to walk the path I showed them first so that they could attain eternal life again. For they were influenced by My adversary who continuously provoked them into leading a life without love which subsequently made and kept them weak and they were not able to contribute anything towards their ascent.

I Myself provided them with the evidence that love results in strength. I healed the sick and carried out other miracles which only the strength of love could accomplish .... I also informed them about the consequences of a heartless way of life .... for I first had to explain to people why they were experiencing physical and spiritual hardship .... I had to inform them that their state as human beings could not be considered a happy one and what they therefore should do to attain beatitude .... And they had to hear all of this from the mouth of God .... They had to be able to hear My Word, and thus the Word Itself came down to earth and became flesh .... In the original state the Word sounded within every being and was the cause of inconceivable bliss .... And the beings abandoned this blissfulness themselves by voluntarily distancing themselves from Me and thus could not hear My Word any longer, because this Word was a direct emanation of love on My part which they then rejected.

Humanity’s excessive hardship on earth prompted My love and mercy to draw nearer to them and to confront them in Word despite their resistance .... And anyone who had ignited just a tiny spark of love within himself recognised Me and accepted My Word .... He also recognised the Deity in Me and followed Me .... But by and large people just saw the human being in Me and therefore valued My Word simply as that of a human being .... I was amongst them and they did not recognise Me .... Nevertheless, I was able to proclaim the Gospel of love, to repeatedly impart the divine teaching of love to people and to educate My apostles Myself and then send them into the world with the task of proclaiming My Gospel and bearing witness to Me .... The ‘Word Itself’ had come to earth, and It was made flesh for the benefit of humanity .... And every time My Word is spoken, My infinite love and mercy bows down towards humanity and emits Its love into those human hearts who willingly accept My Word, who listen to it and recognise it as their Father’s voice and who are grateful for this great gift of grace .... For I Myself Am the eternal Word, and anyone who listens to Me enters into closest contact with Me, and he will indeed achieve his last goal on this earth, he will find complete unification with Me, his God and Father, to Whom he has finally returned to be eternally blessed ....

Amen

Free decision of will ....

The infinitely long path of your development through the creations of earth is coming to an end if you travel the last short stretch of the path as a human being in the right direction .... if you strive towards Me Myself and thus consciously accomplish your return to Me when you pass the final test of will on earth .... when you make the right decision, thus dispose of your opposing will towards Me, from Whom you once originated. Then you will truly have accomplished your work of transformation, as ‘My living creation’ you voluntarily became My ‘child’. You have surmounted the deepest depths and ascended again to the highest peaks. Although as humans you indeed travel the last short stretch as self-aware beings, you have no recollection of the endless time of your preliminary development and of the awful torment this path meant for the spirits which were once created as free beings .... As a human being you will remain ignorant of your previous life and your actual purpose of earthly life until you have voluntarily looked for and found the connection with Me, which now reveals knowledge to you that will also impel you into serious striving for your final state of perfection. This knowledge can certainly be conveyed to fellow human beings too, so that they will live their earthly life more responsibly .... but it will rarely be believed as long as a person does not make contact with Me by way of thoughts, prayer or actions of love .... Since evidence of his previous existence cannot be given to him he will not gladly want to accept what he is told about his soul’s path through all works of creation .... through the mineral, plant and animal world. This is why his sense of responsibility for his life on earth as a human being is small. But since it concerns the free decision of will he must find the path to Me himself .... He must learn to recognise Me and for this he will receive help in every way. For he can think, he can use his intellect, and even if it does not necessarily reveal the truth to him .... he can nevertheless use his intellect to also think about a God and Creator to Whom he owes his existence.

If such thoughts affect him he will also somehow or other form an opinion of them .... And the direction these thoughts take is up to his free will. However, as soon as he merely takes the possibility of an infinitely long previous time of development into account it will already be of benefit for his soul, for such thoughts will not leave him again and he will question the actual purpose of earthly life, then he can also be certain that many an explanation will be conveyed to him mentally .... which he will accept and also make him consciously strive to fulfil his purpose of earthly life. The human being certainly comes into this world without any kind of knowledge but I will always make sure that a small glimmer of realisation shines for him, that he will always encounter a light on which he need only kindle himself in order to recognise the path he should take in order to ascend. The fact that he is not forced in any way does not exclude that he won’t have ample opportunity to make a free decision, and the beings of light which look after him will also help him gain realisation by way of providence .... yet always without coercion. But life on earth as a human being is of greatest significance since it can, after all, result in the final completion of the souls’ path through matter and enable them to pass into the kingdom of the beyond as free and unburdened spirits .... However, the human being can also fail his final test of will and enter the beyond in an unredeemed state .... But even there it is still possible for the soul to find and call upon the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and to ascend gradually. But it can also live an entirely unspiritual life on earth and be banished again into matter, that is, it will have to take the same path of development through the creations of earth once more, which is so appalling and requires such an infinitely long time again that I will truly support people in every possible way in order to protect them from this dreadful fate of a new banishment. In the end, however, it is the human being’s will which decides .... And therefore I keep trying to influence the will such that it will turn to Me by itself .... For then his soul will be saved even if it is not yet fully mature when it finishes its earthly life as a human. But its will has chosen Me and that also signifies the right decision and thus a passed test of will. Everyone should listen and think about it as soon as he is informed of his development and his task on earth .... He should merely take the possibility into account and it would truly already be beneficial for him, for wherever possible the beings of light which guide him through earthly life will intervene and try everything in order to make him use his will correctly .... so that he can finish the path through matter, so that he will seek and find Me and then also be saved for all eternity ....

The adversary’s increased activity against light bearers ....

I will never allow My adversary to disrupt a contact with Me to earth if this is established with the serious will to be of service to Me .... But neither will I ever prevent My adversary’s attempts to intervene disruptively, because I do not curtail his will either .... This explains the fact that you humans will often have to grapple with him but that My power and love is so great that he will never be victorious over those of you who have voluntarily placed yourselves at My service .... Nevertheless, you all have to watch out for his cunning and trickery, so that you will not give him the slightest reason for his anti-divine activity. For your own will is always decisive .... If it applies to Me then even the greatest enemy will be unable to affect you, since then I Myself will stand by your side and he will leave you alone in view of My light, which he avoids. During the last days he will find increasingly more vessels through which he will be able to express himself, which are enslaved by him and which will carry out whatever he impels them to do ....

Consequently, he will also create much turmoil, he will also try to cause a rift between My Own, he will appear under all masks and often not be recognised .... Yet your close bond with Me will grant you the light of realisation too, so that you cannot be deceived by his activity and keep away from him. However, the fact that he is unusually active cannot be denied, for discord will reign everywhere, there will be animosity among people everywhere, lies will triumph and hatred will become ever more obvious .... And My Own, too, will often wonder what caused them to become anxious. Impelled by inner restlessness they will often be hesitant and of weak-will .... but they will also take refuge in Me time and again, and I will strengthen and comfort them and enlighten them about the cause of their agitation .... And they will deliberately turn away from him and strive towards Me ever more sincerely and this heartfelt bond will provide them with the strength to resist him.

Nevertheless, those of you who receive My Word directly can rest assured that your service for Me can never be at risk, because you are accomplishing a remarkable mission, a mission which is regarded as a rescue mission of immense proportions and utmost significance in this earthly period: to convey the truth to people who languish under lies and misconceptions and who are therefore in grave danger. He will never be able to stop this mission because I Myself have erected a protective wall around My bearers of light, which not even My adversary can pull down. And although he will repeatedly try to attack this wall he will not succeed in tearing it down, for I will also extraordinarily strengthen My servants, they will recognise him and offer firm resistance .... They have become strong themselves, their inner light is shining brightly, and its ray exposes the adversary’s cunning and trickery, they will see through him even if he appears under the mask of an angel of light. For he will also avail himself of those who believe that they speak on My behalf, who grant him admission due to arrogance or wrong fervour which does not concur with My will .... You humans will still experience much before the end, and nothing else can protect you from error other than the most intimate bond with Me ..... But then you can also be assured of My protection and My help .... Then I will not let you fall into the hand of the one who is My enemy and adversary .... For although I don’t limit him in his activity during the last days, I will nevertheless hold My hands protectively over My Own who have deliberately detached themselves from him and turned their will towards Me .... For they have made their decision of will on earth and have released themselves from his control for good ....

Amen

Resurrection of Jesus ....
Easter ....

My body was resurrected on the third day .... And even if this event seems unbelievable to people because they cannot find any evidence for it, humanity should nevertheless be told through My spirit that I have truly risen from the dead. Because through My act of Salvation I overcame death which My adversary had brought into the world with his descent into the abyss. And with My resurrection I proved to you humans at the same time that death does not exist for the spiritualised being. Hence the re-transformation into the original being .... which is achieved by a life of love as I exemplified to humanity .... also excludes every condition of death, every helplessness and weakness, and as soon as this transformation has taken place during the earthly life the soul can enter eternal life .... Death has been conquered by My sacrifice on the cross because the original sin was redeemed by it and the being has been given the opportunity again to transform into its original essence which then also guarantees its eternal life.

I wanted to prove to you that the physical body can be spiritualised too and thus would not have to fear death either if the human being would succeed in spiritualising his body while still on earth .... I Myself, as the human being Jesus, spiritualised all of My body’s still immature substances through My life of love, I matured them; love calmed everything that was unspiritual in Me and persuaded it to unite with My soul, so that body and soul could join the eternal spirit God within Me and thus the complete fusion with Him took place. And an entirely spiritualised being cannot be subject to death anymore, because death is a condition of helplessness, but a spiritualised being is light and strength in abundance and liberated from every restraint. The event of My resurrection was therefore also visible to people because they found My tomb empty .... It was understandable that the disbelievers tried to convince their fellow human beings that My body had been abducted but they could not substantiate this .... And My resurrection will only ever be accepted as truth by believers, by people who are already intimately connected to Me through love or their good will to live in the right way before My eyes .... But it is true that it happened because with it the promises, which were transmitted to the people by seers and prophets, were also fulfilled.

My resurrection was a huge defeat for My adversary to whom I proved that love is stronger than hate .... that he would not keep his followers in the state of death forever, because I Myself had overcome death and therefore could give life to anyone who acknowledges My act of Salvation and accepts the blessings I had acquired for him on the cross. Hence My resurrection was a defeat for My adversary, and for this reason he tried to mislead people and cast doubt into them about My resurrection .... Nevertheless he will not be able to prevent the resurrection of those who follow Me, who believe in Me and to whom I can now give eternal life, as I promised. And he will constantly have fewer followers, since time and again people will rise to eternal life because I overcame death, because he cannot eternally burden a being who has the will to return to Me, and who thus will seek refuge beneath My cross in order to escape My adversary’s force .... Death has been conquered for them and their resurrection to life is guaranteed ....

(23.4.1962) Even My disciples did not want to believe that I had risen from the dead, although I made this promise to them beforehand .... But I strengthened their faith, and they recognised Me when I came to them .... Hence they had proof that I had overcome death, because they should proclaim Me with complete conviction. They should speak of My death on the cross and also of My resurrection, since this knowledge had to be given to people who were meant to believe in Me and start on the path to the cross .... since they could only be redeemed if they too would carry their guilt to Me under the cross. But My most important act of mercy would soon have been forgotten again had My spirit not been active time and again in those human beings who had entirely given themselves to Me, and whom .... being redeemed .... I could fill with My spirit in abundance, who educated them from within, who made the knowledge of Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation comprehensible to them .... Because the written records passed on to people did not remain truthful for long .... Where human intellect was used on its own misguided opinions crept in, which were also passed on as ‘written records’ and consequently there was no further guarantee for the pure truth .... But where My spirit could work in a person, the pure truth was revealed time and again, and the knowledge of My suffering and death on the cross as well as My resurrection was given to people, because this knowledge is absolutely essential if people should also have complete faith in it.

And My spirit will always work in the person who gives himself to Me in order to receive the pure truth .... Time and again people will hear the message and be given the right explanation, so that you humans can indeed believe in My resurrection and My triumph over death, that death need not exist for you anymore if you keep by My side, if you yourselves want that I have died on your behalf .... when you have a living faith in Me and My act of Salvation, which I Myself accomplished in the man Jesus. I Am resurrected from the dead, and after the death of your body you will be resurrected in this way to eternal life too .... And you need not fear death anymore once you are freed from the enemy of your souls, from My adversary .... once you allow yourselves to be redeemed by Me .... Because then there will be no more death for you, then you will live in and with Me and eternally not lose this life again ....

Indirect and direct Word of God ....

Every enlightened spiritual being carries My will within itself, it has completely subordinated itself to My will otherwise it would not be a being of light .... And thus this being will only ever carry out My will, which it realises to be right and good .... hence it is, at the same time, active of its own will which, however, is My will too. This is something you need to know in order to recognise the value of what such a being of light mentally imparts to you when it works on My instructions in order to educate you .... You must always know that My light ray of love, My inexhaustible flow of strength, flows through all light receptive spiritual beings and will always be passed on again to where it is still dark, where light and strength are needed. If I therefore convey this light ray of love to earth in order to impart the pure truth to people it happens indirectly and directly .... I Myself emanate the light which can affect a person directly, but I can also transmit it through the beings of light, whose greatest happiness consists of the fact that they may pass the flow of My strength of love on, as it is their activity in the spiritual kingdom to serve Me as a reservoir of light and strength, so that a constant process of re-routing of strength occurs which makes countless beings happy and enables them to attain ever greater maturity. However, it is and remains always the same flow of strength and light, which originates from Me .... Hence you should not assume that you receive something of reduced value, it is and remains ’My Word’ which I Myself convey to Earth because I recognise that people urgently need to receive light, that people come into possession of truth. Once a person has created the opportunity that contact between Me and the person can be established, the transference of light and strength will be guaranteed .... The Primary Source of light and strength is and remains Me Myself .... in which way this transfer takes place is irrelevant .... Even if beings of light are the mediators .... they can only ever give what they have received from Me Myself, and they will never act in opposition to My will, otherwise one could not speak of ‘beings of light’ .... Unenlightened beings, however, are denied access to a person who has offered himself to be of service to Me, who wants to work for Me and My kingdom and desires the pure truth from Me .... For such beings are not permitted to teach as long as they are not enlightened themselves, that is, as long as they cannot be illuminated by Me Myself .... as long as they have not prepared themselves as bases for strength, as long as they still have a low degree of maturity and possess little knowledge themselves ....

Nevertheless, these beings are able to intervene during such contact from earth to the kingdom of the beyond where a low state of maturity can still be found in people and where a person relinquishes his will, thereby allowing these beings to slip in, which are then able to express themselves and cause considerable havoc .... But this danger is out of the question where the transfer of the pure truth is concerned, where My spirit can be active .... where a person’s heartfelt contact is established with Me and the influx of My flow of spirit can take place. That which comes forth from Me Myself is truth, even if it takes its path through enlightened spiritual beings .... because they, too, only pass on what they receive from Me Myself. Hence the point of view, that these beings of light could teach something different than I Myself, is mistaken, for only one truth exists, and if a being is enlightened then it will also be permeated by this one truth and pass it on of its own accord, for the light of love which illuminates these beings is My eternally inexhaustible flow of love and strength flowing forth from the primary source .... You humans first need to accept the truth of the fact that the beings of light don’t instruct people arbitrarily through which a less valuable transfer can take place when someone establishes heartfelt contact with Me with the desire to be educated by Me .... This point of view is frequently upheld by people and another error I need to rectify time and again, so that My transmissions from the spiritual kingdom will not be wrongly judged, for My kingdom is a kingdom of truth, and the truth will be conveyed to that person who seriously desires it. The desire for truth excludes all misguided spiritual knowledge, because I Myself Am acknowledged and desired, and I Am the Truth of eternity. Yet you must also know about the strength and light re-routing process which, in turn, is the epitome of bliss for the beings who entered My kingdom of light .... you must know that their state of maturity results in their constant illumination by My light of love and that this light of love will be passed on again by them, in accordance with My will .... Thus, I Am the be-all and end-all .... Where light and strength exist that is where I Myself Am active, and everything conveyed to you humans through the working of the spirit within you can be regarded as divine emanation ....

Fully maturing the soul ....
Miracle healing - Compulsory faith ....

Let the flow of My strength of love take effect in you, open yourselves and constantly receive light and strength from above and thereby provide your soul with the opportunity to mature fully in order to enter My kingdom in a perfect state when the hour of its passing away from this earth has come .... The soul is the spiritual essence within you which can only be given spiritual gifts, which requires spiritual nourishment for its path through earthly life. The soul is that which continues to exist when the body disintegrates, for the latter is transient as long as it still serves immature substances as a shell, which shall be released again if they have not joined the soul during earthly life, if they did not become spiritualised during earthly life .... which is indeed possible but only happens rarely. Then matter will dissolve and release the tiny spiritual particles which take on new shapes again for further development. The soul, however, has reached its final stage of development on earth, and you should spend all your care on making sure that it will accomplish its final maturity and be able to return as a spirit of light into the kingdom which is its true home .... And it can only attain this final maturity if it allows itself to be constantly illuminated by Me, if it accepts light and strength from Me directly by consciously entrusting itself to Me, by opening itself and allowing My flow of love to permeate it .... by listening to Me when I address it in order to nourish it and quench its thirst, in order to administer the right food which guarantees its full maturity on earth. And the soul will feel the flow of My love’s strength .... because it will never remain ineffective where all opposition has been broken.

The fact that you humans don’t feel the same effect physically has to be understandable to you, because I will not exert any form of compulsory faith on you and your fellow human beings as long as people have to freely decide as to whether they want to accept or reject the nourishment for the soul which I offer to them from above, the Word, which I impart to them directly and which nevertheless must not be so evidently demonstrated as to force people into believing. Try to understand that you have to believe with free will; your own deliberation, kind-hearted activity and a close bond with Me have to result in this belief. And My working through a person’s spirit should also just be ‘believed’ but must not be verifiable; yet every unusual manifestation would already be considered proof which would be detrimental to other people’s souls. You must still distinguish between body and soul .... Your soul’s perfection will be achieved through your inner life, which indeed will also be externally recognisable through deeds of love .... and the body must, as far as possible, adapt to the soul’s wishes, it must not resist its desire and be used as an indicator of My illumination of love for a person .... on account of which even a sick body can shelter a healthy soul within itself as long as this body has to fulfil a task which shall benefit fellow human beings. For they, in turn, shall be guided into faith purely through My Word, not through miracles like the sudden recovery of a sick body .... although I also let such miracles happen if the strength of a strong faith is demonstrated, for ‘I will not disappoint a strong faith ....’ But I know at all times whether and how I gain people so that they will attain a living faith .... I also know what will serve every soul’s salvation .... But My love will never remain ineffective, even if you yourselves are unable to recognise a result ....

‘He that shall endure unto the end ....’

‘But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved ....’ This is My promise, which certainly makes the greatest demand that you shall persevere until the end .... My promise will only come true with a small flock, for a great test of faith will be demanded of you, passing it will require much strength and an intimate bond with Me, since the believers will be harshly persecuted by the authorities and the human being can only offer resistance with My support by making use of My strength which will flow to him through his heartfelt contact with Me. He must belong to Me with all his will, with all his soul, and the strength of his faith in Me will give him the fortitude to resist. Then he would rather give up his life than Me, Whom he has recognised as the most loving Father from Whom he will never want to separate again .... And I will reward this strength of faith and love for Me, for he will become blissfully happy .... This small flock, which will remain loyal to Me even during the harshest battle of faith, will be rescued by Me from extreme adversity, I will move them to a place of peace in order to then give them the reshaped earth as their abode again, so that a new era will begin, a time of peace and of innermost unity with Me, so that I Myself will be able to stay amongst My Own because their deep love for Me allows for this .... The reward is truly magnificent but My Own will deserve it, for the last days on this earth will be incredibly difficult for them, and yet they will remain faithful to Me. They will abide until the end ....

And by using all means I will truly help them to attain this strength of faith, for I will reveal Myself to them beforehand in many different ways .... I Myself will come to them in My Word, and My direct communication will let their love and faith come alive; their constant contact with Me will fill them with a love that will increasingly intensify .... I will often miraculously intervene in their life and will also visibly appear to those who wait for Me in utmost adversity and firmly believe that I will help them .... I will leave no-one without comfort and Words of encouragement; I will give strength to all so that they will be able to endure even the most difficult situation. And they will firmly believe in Me with indestructible trust in Me .... And thus they will wait daily for My coming, for their deliverance .... until I Myself fetch them because the time will have come to an end, because I will put an end to My adversary’s activity and put him into chains along with his adherents .... And the day of Judgment will result in a complete transformation of the earth’s surface; all creations in, on and above the earth will be dissolved and be placed into new forms, the day of the end of the old earth will have come for all human beings and only those who belong to My Own will be lifted up from earth and escape destruction, whereas My adversary’s followers full of terror will face their downfall and be devoured by the earth .... For the formation of the old earth will have ceased to exist .... Yet a new earth will emerge again and a new epoch of Salvation will start, and this new earth will be populated by those who remained loyal to Me until the end .... They will be blissfully happy, as I had promised them, since My adversary will have no more control over people for a long time to come, for they are devoted to Me in love, and therefore I Myself will be able to dwell amongst them and all hardship will have come to an end .... There will be peace on earth again, a divine state of harmony and beatitude .... where only love will reign ....

About the doctrine of re-incarnation ....

I can reveal Myself to you through the voice of the spirit if you genuinely desire to be taught by Me. I only want you to live in truth, that your thinking will not take the wrong direction, that you will not be so influenced by misguided teachings from the one who wants to undermine the truth, because it enlightens you by highlighting him and his activity. Accept, therefore, what I say to you through My spirit: it should be understandable to you that My adversary will do everything possible to keep you in spiritual darkness in which he has absolute control over you, for as soon as you know the truth you are lost to him .... Hence he will always direct your thoughts wrongly .... and every wrong thought will result in a thousand others, and thus he will see to it that the knowledge about the purpose and meaning of your earthly life will be withheld from you, that you will form an entirely wrong idea about your earthly task, and he will try to keep you indifferent towards all spiritual endeavour .... He tries to maintain your love for the world and therefore will also always present a repetition of earthly life as being desirable and even provide evidence for it, for it will weaken your striving for perfection as soon as you believe that you will be allowed to return to earth time and again if you have not yet reached perfection.

This concept is My adversary’s most favourite method and is the reason why the doctrine of re-incarnation has become so popular, and it is difficult to discard it because My adversary works very skilfully in order to substantiate the credibility of this teaching. Yet no one needs to succumb to his trickery, for as soon as he seriously desires to know the truth and turns to Me Myself he will recognise the foolishness of what he was presented with and will also clearly feel the truth in his heart, he will feel resentment at what has emerged from My adversary, for his sincere desire for truth will also guarantee that he will receive it .... Lots of people yield to his influence in this matter, because people themselves want to return to earth because their love for the world is still too strong and the idea that they can repeat their earthly life is comforting to them .... Yet time and again you are told that you, who believe in re-incarnation, were misled .... although there are isolated cases which have their special reasons but which must not be generalised. For My eternal plan of Salvation truly incorporates all possibilities which guarantee your full maturity throughout one earthly life .... for you can overcome every weakness yourselves, since I died for you on the cross to gain strength of will on your behalf and you can at all times call upon Me in Jesus, the Redeemer from sin and death, and then you will also be able to reach the degree on earth which will assure your entry into the kingdom of light .... where you can ascend to never-ending heights since there will be no more limitation for you ....

If you, however, don’t use your earthly life and enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed, then a repeated embodiment on earth would be of no use to you either, for you will keep your free will but your past memory will be taken away from you, and then you will be in far greater danger to descend further, which will never be encouraged but prevented by Me. And if you can already become enlightened on earth by informing you of your past apostasy from Me and My plan of return, then you can also clearly see the path which you have to cover in order to perfect yourselves, and then you will also realise that the doctrines promising you a repeated earthly life are misguided teachings, for they contradict My eternal plan of Salvation, which has been established by Me in all wisdom and love in order to enable your release from the form which, however, requires your free will. And in order that your will shall make the right decision I Myself shall time and again impart the truth to you if you ask for it, if you desire to live in truth. Yet you should also understand that My adversary will use all the power you give to him yourselves .... that he will offer you wrong teachings as long as you won’t reject his activity by genuinely desiring the truth .... Yet he will never be able to impose his error where I, as the Eternal Truth, Am asked for protection against error .... for then he will be completely ineffective, since the light which is directly emanating from Me will unmask him and he will therefore always take flight from this light ....

The Ascension of Jesus Christ ....

My mission on earth was accomplished when I ascended to heaven ....

I had delivered the world from sin and death, I had risen again and appeared to My disciples to strengthen them for their journey to proclaim the Gospel .... I Myself was full of light and strength and could now leave the earth in order to return to My kingdom from whence I had come .... to the kingdom of light and bliss .... Because My body had been transformed. It was My spiritual garment which was no longer subject to the laws of nature, but now the body could go to wherever it was moved by My will. Because it was spirit just like My eternal Father-Spirit, which was not tied to a form either but which permeated the entire universe and thus also Myself, Jesus the human being, Who had received the eternal Deity within Himself to give It a human form. This was necessary because It wanted to live amongst people, but the form was still subject to natural law and had to acquire a high degree of maturity first in order to receive the eternal Deity ....

My mission was over now, and testimony of this act of Ascension to heaven should be given as well, because it was the culmination, it was evidence for humanity that I had achieved a work of transformation of Myself which could be visibly proven .... for I disregarded all natural laws when I ascended to heaven, and I surrounded Myself with all glory and yet was visible to My disciples .... I gave them the strength to behold Me, otherwise they would truly have passed away. But only those disciples who were closely connected to Me through their love and who thus had the degree of maturity which enabled such vision were allowed to see Me. And many a soul returns from earth into the kingdom of light in the same state, and they too are able to behold Me in all My splendour and magnificence, because their degree of maturity facilitates spiritual vision. Because they too have no more limitations .... they too will be clothed in all glory, they may behold God face to face and now live in their original state, in love, which is both light and strength, and this is their spiritual garment, which may be worn by every soul as soon as it departs from earthly life and enters the kingdom of the beyond fully matured .... And this is what you should believe, you should not doubt the love and might of your God and Father, Who will one day endow you with a state of blessedness which will remain inconceivable to you as long as you still live on earth.

However, I have set you an example of what a human being can achieve by living a life of selfless love and what his fate will be if he has always lived on earth in accordance with My will. If his way of life changes his being into love, which will then be the same as My fundamental nature, he too will shine in all brightness and magnificence and also be visible to all who have the same level of maturity and who will have then united with Me, Who is and remains a Being that eternally emanates light and strength .... The event of Ascension really and truly took place, the human being Jesus gave the last proof of His Divinity on earth when He left this earth in a brilliant abundance of light and returned to the kingdom from whence His soul had come .... Because He had come from the kingdom of light, He had been with God and He returned to God again, Whose child He was and continued to be, with Whom He completely merged. Thus, the Ascension was the final proof that I was not of this earth but that I had descended from the kingdom of light and glory, which became My goal once more and which eternally will be and remain your goal too, because you also shall return to the light. You shall, through unification with Me, be allowed to receive My light and My strength anew and thus rise again and ascend into heaven, into your true home ....

Amen

Commencement of receiving the Word 25 years ago (15.6.1937)

I have given you the promise to send you the comforter, the spirit of truth .... And I have done so by bringing you the pure truth, by using a devoted earthly child to whom I had assigned the mission of imparting this truth to people who were willing to accept it .... I have ignited a light for you which should not be hidden under a bushel, which should shine brightly into the night, into the darkness which is prevalent across earth and which can only be penetrated by a light from above .... I have conveyed My Word to you, I have spoken to you Myself and thus I was present with you in My Word .... you were able to hear My voice directly even though it first had to be imparted to you through My messengers, but the recipient of My Word could hear Me Myself. His bond with Me was so sincere that I could speak to Him directly, that he could provide proof of My presence: My Word, which was addressed to him and to all of you, which sounded within himself and truly revealed the most profound secrets which introduced you to the truth ....

And thus you received an invaluable gift and can consider yourselves truly blessed, because no one can take from you what I had given you and what you had voluntarily accepted believing that I have spoken to you .... Your soul has received something exquisite, it is nourishment which assists the soul to mature and enables it to achieve its purpose of earthly life: .... to find the unity with Me, its God and Creator, its eternal Father .... Time and again this unique gift of grace can be shared by the recipient with other people, time and again the human being can do redeeming work and has an incredibly effective means of grace to likewise help other people reach the goal on earth, to come closer to Me and to constantly receive strength to work towards the perfection of their souls, which necessitates a continuous supply of strength ....

Hence I will not discontinue the flow of living water from the source I have opened, because you human beings need a permanent supply of strength. You constantly need to stay with this source to refresh yourselves, to draw from it and let the flow of strength revive you, to draw from the living water which flows to you from My well of inexhaustible love and mercy. They will not stop flowing to you, nor will I allow the well of grace to run dry, I will always take care of My child who gives Me its will and desires to hear My voice .... I will also make sure that it receives strength for itself for as long as it wants to work for Me, because this is entirely up to Me, and I will take the lead and provide what it needs physically and spiritually to carry out its voluntary mission.

Because only I know how important this mission is and how successful it will be for the numerous souls who suffer severe spiritual hardship and for whom this mission is an invaluable rescue mission .... It is a unique gift of grace that I could speak to you humans by means of a devoted child who listened to Me of its own free will and who believed My Words .... who allowed itself to be guided into the truth and imparted this truth to its fellow human beings who desperately needed a light to find their way in the darkness of spirit .... and who, in turn, carried the light to people who likewise lingered in spiritual darkness. The people who accepted this light could derive many blessings from it, and the recipient himself came closer to My heart by listening to Me and by believing My Words, because his inner light increased, he gained an insight in My reign and actions, in My eternal plan of salvation .... and he received clarification about Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation, which he could now impart to his fellow human beings who, like himself, had previously lived in darkness and were therefore unable to utilize this treasure of grace.

I was able to bring the truth to many people, in accordance with their wishes. And they will not forget this gift of grace in eternities because thereby they were guided onto the right path which they could only find by this very truth, which they did not reject when it was offered to them as a gift from the Father who wants to help His children to find the path of return to Him. The will of every single human being was decisive whether he derived a blessing from My Word but at least I was able to speak to him in the first place, which otherwise would not have been possible because I do not force anyone to listen to Me when I speak to him, and because no human being would know the voice of the Father if he did not want to be spoken to by Me directly. But My blessing will be with you forever if you hand yourselves over to Me and allow Me to talk to you directly .... Because there is much hardship and all people need My help, which they noticeably receive through My direct communication with them.

And for this reason you too, My obedient servants on earth, will receive every help, I will always and forever give you My dedicated paternal protection and also provide you with the physical and spiritual strength to work for Me and My kingdom in My name .... so that you work on My behalf and enable Me to speak to My children who are suffering and wish to hear the Father’s voice .... They will receive help which only I can and want to give because I long for their return to their parental home and will do everything to help them achieve it ....

Amen

Weak faith or unbelief ....

Faith has become exceedingly weak amongst humanity .... People certainly know all doctrines regarding Me as their God and Creator but not everything they are told as truth they accept as such. They often also dismiss those teachings which correspond to the truth because they themselves either lack the ability to examine them or they don’t take the right path in order to be able to examine them .... the direct path to Me, Who would truly grant them the realisation of truth. And what people are taught by those who deem themselves authorised is usually also devoid of truth .... it is spoilt spiritual knowledge which no longer corresponds to the truth because it was adopted as tradition without any kind of scrutiny and these doctrines are now demanded to be unreservedly accepted .... so that even the thinking person will not scrutinise them himself in order to be able to distinguish truth from error. For he is able to do so if he seriously desires the pure truth and turns to Me Myself. And thus humanity has lost its faith so that often it does not even want to acknowledge a God and Creator anymore and as a result cannot ascertain its earthly path and recognise its purpose and goal. Even people’s relationship to their God and Creator cannot be made clear to them; consequently, they don’t know My will, the fulfilment of which would grant them brightest enlightenment .... And so no-one strives to take the path back to Me if he lacks faith to such an extent that he even doubts the existence of a God and Creator.

First a person has to regain this faith again which, however, he can gain because he is able to think .... and because he will also be helped to think correctly when it concerns such inner thoughts as to what kind of relationship he has as a created being with the Power Which had created him .... He can attain faith if only he wants to .... if he reflects on questions which relate to his existence on this earth. For the beings of light will always take care of him and instruct him mentally, and this according to truth, providing he is interested in gaining the truth .... However, in that case he will soon find out that it is his Creator’s will that the human being should live a life of love .... He will know it because the sense of what is good and what is bad is inherent in himself .... and because he has a silent Admonisher within himself Who will tell him His will .... And if he lives according to his inner feelings his faith will soon come alive in him, he will know that his inner sense is right, that a Being exists from Whose Power he arose and that this Being pursues him with Its love, for he will soon recognise the wise path he is being led along which clearly demonstrate to him the existence of such a Power to Whom he owes his existence. And once he has gained this faith he will also mentally turn to this Being and .... because he recognises Its great power .... voluntarily subordinate himself to It, allowing himself to be guided and also appeal to this powerful Being for Its support, because he feels weak but does not want to act in opposition to this Power .... It follows that he subordinates his will to the Eternal Deity’s will, then he can also be certain that he will be seized by Him and that I will never let go of him again until he has united with Me, until he has fulfilled the earthly task he was given for his existence on earth and which only ever consists of recognising his God and Father and striving towards him, of submitting to His will .... that he therefore acknowledges the One again as his God and Father of eternity from Whom he once turned away of his own free will and thereby fell into the abyss, from which he irrevocably has to return to higher spheres again, and for this purpose lives on earth .... The human being must learn to have faith and truthful knowledge must be presented to him, then he will be able to believe, for he will recognise God as his Father and long for His love, which will be granted to him without limit because he once emerged from My love .... However, I cannot force him in any way to believe in teachings which relate to the spiritual realm .... to Me Myself as God and Creator .... He must gain this faith himself and he will certainly find it by merely living a life of love .... by making an effort to overcome selfish love and change it into unselfish neighbourly love .... Therefore he will be driven from within, since this is the working of My divine spark of love, which will always try to induce him to do good for unselfish reasons and whose urging he only needs to comply with .... For every act of love grants him light, he will understand increasingly more what he is expected to believe and accept it, and his faith will come alive ....

Amen

My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?

My pain and death on the cross was indescribably excruciating and every description of the suffering is just a faint comparison with My real suffering because I foresaw every phase of My act of Salvation, I knew what My last task would be and I did not have the reassurance to reduce the pain for Myself since I had to suffer the last hours as a mere human being. I certainly had all the strength because God’s, My eternal Father’s, strength of love permeated Me until the end, but by using My will I Myself made no use of the strength of love, I did not accept its effect to reduce or alleviate the pain with its help, otherwise the act of Salvation, which called for the utmost amount of suffering in order to redeem humanity’s original sin, would not have been completely valid .... And the Deity within Me knew My will and allowed Me to continue, It withdrew Itself because it was My will to achieve My highest degree of love for humanity, which again was only for My Father, for Whom I yearned during the greatest distress, during the most severe suffering and particularly during the final minutes of My physical life .... And this yearning increased because I no longer used His effect, His strength of love .... And in this longing for Him, for My eternal Father, I exclaimed the words ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? ....’

I Myself had wanted to complete the act of mercy for the sinful humanity as a human being, because the greatest love I could offer My Father was to allow Myself to be nailed to the cross on His behalf, because He Himself had come to earth and taken abode within Me after all, because He had wanted to carry out the act of Salvation for His children Himself, but being ‘God’ He was unable to suffer .... And hence I accepted all torments and pain on His behalf and endured them to the end .... No matter how often and intelligible I try to explain this to you .... you will never quite understand it until the spiritual kingdom has received you, the kingdom of light and blissfulness .... And the simplest explanation are always the words ‘The Father and I are One ....’ It was already the complete unification and therefore I was able to say: ‘It is finished ....’ The ‘human being’ Jesus had sacrificed His life, He had suffered as a human being and experienced an unspeakably painful death .... But He also had united with the Eternal Deity, because the love was in the man Jesus until the end or He could not have said: ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.’ And if ‘love’ Itself stayed silent then only because it was necessary to finalize the act of Salvation, so that the death could now be ascertained by all people in His vicinity .... so that His body could be placed into the grave from which He has risen again on the third day ....

Every expression of God’s spirit in the end could still have caused people to doubt Jesus’ death on the cross, because they would have recognised His bond with Me and faith in the act of Salvation would have been the compelling result, but it had to be a free decision of will .... You will not be able to understand this quite yet either, but as soon as you yourselves unite your spirit with the spirit of the eternal Father you will become enlightened, and then you will also understand My Word, which always aims to offer you an explanation that you can understand in accordance with your soul’s degree of maturity or love. Especially in regards to the act of Salvation you should receive the pure truth and be given complete understanding, so that you can comprehend the magnitude of My love, Which came to earth for you humans, for your guilt of sin, Which has accomplished the act of Salvation to re-open the path to the Father, to redeem your immense guilt of sin, for this had closed your path to the Father’s house forever ....

Exceptional help at the time of misery ....

Even the worst misery in the coming time should not alarm you, for to the same extent as My adversary works during the last days before the end, when his raging will be plainly recognisable, I will let My flow of grace pour into you, so that you will certainly be capable of resisting him .... And the closer it gets to the end the more distinctly you will also perceive My reign and activity .... I have to manifest Myself in an exceptional way in order that you will not despair and fall prey to him. For he will not shy away from using cunning and trickery, he will develop extraordinary power and you will need much strength in order to resist him .... I will truly not leave you without help during this time of need and I will also be perceptible to you, time and again you will hear about remarkable help people receive who faithfully call upon Me, you will experience instances yourselves which demonstrate My love for you and reinforce your faith .... For I will reveal Myself in extraordinary ways to you providing you don’t relinquish the bond with Me but trustingly rely on Me that I will lead you out of all the misery in the last days .... And you may also be permitted to witness My personal appearance where your love will allow for it .... And I will appear to you in your dreams and bestow comfort and strength upon you .... You only need to spend sincere thoughts on Me and in prayer establish the relationship of a child with its Father .... Then you may truly experience Me as a loving Father, for I don’t want to lose any one of you who already belongs to Me due to his will, who desires to become blessed and to be one of My Own.

However, you will certainly need this extraordinary help, for the time which is still at My adversary’s disposal is running out, and since he is aware of it, he will still rant and rave and try to pull you down by oppressing you in every conceivable way. But I, too, will influence you remarkably and protect you from his onslaughts, since I know that your will applies to Me which therefore gives Me the right to avert him from you. And even My vineyard labourers will want to work more diligently still because My adversary’s activity will be so obvious to them that they will thereby recognise which hour has struck on the world’s clock. Therefore they will also know that the end is imminent and that his activity will come to an end, that he will be placed in chains for a long time again. But it requires an exceptional flow of strength, for you will be too weak on your own, given that My adversary will go to any length in order to plunge you into ruin, and were I not to confront him with My power and My light he would certainly succeed .... Even so, you should fearlessly approach this time, you will survive it and remain victorious, because I Myself will walk next to you and fight on your side against your souls’ enemy. And thus I promise you, who want to belong to Me, My every assistance; I will always be present to you and a mere thought will call Me to you, for love unites Me with you, who once came forth from My love, and this love will not let go of you and protect you in all adversity and danger .... Therefore it will manifest itself remarkably when the time of immense misery befalls the earth because the end has come ....

Purpose of harsh strokes of fate: Bond with God ....

Regardless of how your earthly life turns out, you should always remember that in My plan of eternity everything is intended such that it will benefit your soul .... and that none of My living creations are left to their own devices but that I, in My wisdom, realised what is best for every individual person. Were you able to achieve the firm belief that I Myself stand behind every event with My will or My permission nothing would hardly ever frighten you again .... For My love knows how to arrange everything such that it is good for you .... Although you will not always be able to recognise My love, it nevertheless steadfastly belongs to you and will never let go of you either. But My wisdom also recognises the spiritual hardship you humans live in and the fact that you will invariably strive towards the abyss if I don’t intervene in order to first deal with the spiritual hardship, so that the earthly adversities can diminish, which are only the consequences of the spiritual hardship. It is particularly dire for those people who possess no faith whatsoever in a God and Creator Who also created them as a product of His never-ending strength of love .... Only harsh strokes of fate .... which they have no control of avoiding .... can change especially those people’s way of thinking .... by having to recognise a Power above them Whose will also controls their life on earth .... It is My constant endeavour to convince these people of this and to motivate them to subordinate themselves to this Power, to acknowledge and communicate with It .... For only that which remains inexplicable to them in an earthly way can make them change their thinking .... And so many things, which are described as harsh strokes of fate and which barely infer the love of a God and Creator, happen in the world for the sake of these disbelieving people .... And yet, it is love .... they are means which still promise success, even if only a few will find their way to Me, to faith in a God to Whom they must surrender and Who only expects your acknowledgement in order to then exert further influence on the human beings’ inner life, Who causes them to subsequently live their life on earth according to His will and to attain the final goal: the bond with Me, their God and Creator of eternity.

Only when a person has found faith in Me as a Being full of love, wisdom and might .... will he look for this bond with Me which then will grant him bright enlightenment about his task on earth .... And only when he tries to comply with My will and pays attention to My divine commandments of love will this light begin to shine in him and reveal great knowledge to him, then he will live his life consciously in order to reach his goal .... He would indeed be able to gain this faith in Me without difficult destined burdens if he could bring himself to live a life of love of his own accord, if he could rise above his selfish love and change it to selfless neighbourly love .... Then he would have established the bond with Me from his side and he would find it easy to believe in Me, his eternal God and Father .... Then he would not go astray anymore because his bond with Me through love would protect him from the fall into the abyss .... Love and faith are essential to reach the final goal, the liberation from the physical form .... And I will always direct all events in the world such that they will be able to yield spiritual success for that person who has not entirely been taken in by My adversary and still exhibits the unbroken resistance towards Me, for I force no-one to succumb to Me and My will, but I will always help him to recognise Me Myself, even if this requires harsh strokes of fate, which then will only ever be based on My love .... However, the human being must make his own free decision in earthly life, and he will also always gently be urged from within to take the right path, the path of love .... Yet as long as he ignores this inner urging, he forces Me to employ methods which can lead to faith in a God and Creator Who is love, wisdom and might within Himself .... Then he will be saved for time and eternity, for a belief in Me also signifies acknowledgement of Me Myself, Whom he once refused to acknowledge and thereby became enslaved by My adversary, the prince of darkness .... who will indeed control him until he acknowledges Me, then he will be able to resist My adversary, to detach himself from him and to return and remain with Me for all eternity ....

Incarnated beings of light ....
The working of the spirit - Channeled communications ....

Even the incarnated beings of light on earth in the last days are only working according to My will as soon as they live their earthly life in heartfelt contact with Me and thus offer no resistance to Me .... that is, that they consciously submit to My will which also necessitates their voluntarily established bond with Me. Hence no being of light having embodied itself on earth as a human being for the purpose of a mission was forced into this mission by Me, but it has to be prompted by love to dedicate itself to Me, then the human being will also truly accomplish his mission in keeping with My will. And you humans can believe it that they then will also work for your benefit .... but always as a human being without knowing his origin, for such knowledge would neither be a blessing for the being of light .... the human being .... nor for the people it wants to help. They are certainly in close contact with Me and fulfil their earthly task with dedication and joy, but I don’t use the people working on My behalf on earth as involuntary shells having to bear witness of Me .... but such a human being .... the embodied being of light .... will completely voluntarily let My spirit work in him, and he will proclaim the truth, since his spiritual spark unites itself with the eternal Father-Spirit and thus he will speak according to My instructions, i.e. he will inform people of the spiritual knowledge which he is constantly receiving from Me.

But don’t let yourselves be misled by false prophets, for My adversary will also present himself as a representative of Christ .... in order to lead people astray, especially in the end time. However, he will hide himself behind a mask and not shy away from using divine Words either, which he knows and then tries to interpret in his spirit .... Don’t let false Christ’s and prophets deceive you, for My adversary conceals himself under a cover in order to gain access to people who follow Me and genuinely strive towards Me .... and he is frequently very successful .... And he often uses My name because people’s own will allows for it, which accepts everything as truth what gullible people with mediumistic tendencies claim they allegedly have received from Me. Make a distinction between ‘the working of the spirit in the human being’ and ‘channeled communications’ .... in which a person’s own will is excluded and My adversary is offered the opportunity to work, which he is truly using well ....

However, anyone who has already kindled the light of realisation within himself will also see through his disgraceful activity and not allow himself to be bothered, for I will impart the truth to anyone who wants to know it, and I will also give him the power of judgment to recognise that the Word I convey to earth is originating from Me, and he will not believe My adversary no matter how cleverly he proceeds to deceive people. For the human being’s thinking will be guided correctly and he will receive enlightenment just as soon as he seriously desires to know the truth ....

Spiritual knowledge proves awakening and bond with God ....

Once you, as a human being, know about your origin, about your starting point from Me and about your voluntary apostasy from Me with the subsequent fall into the abyss, your spirit will have come alive, for you can only receive and understand this knowledge if My eternal Father-Spirit conveys this knowledge to the spiritual spark in you .... thus the spirit in you must have been brought to life, and that presupposes a life of love according to My will .... It presupposes that you have complied with the inner urging by My spiritual spark, which is part of Me, and thus entered into My will, which requires you to live a life of love. The previous state of ignorance, which every human being finds himself in at the start of his earthly life, is evidence that a connection between this spiritual spark with Me, the Father-Spirit, has not yet taken place, that he is still completely detached from Me, that he is still in the isolation he placed himself in through his past apostasy from Me .... For the separation from Me also signifies complete lack of light, since My strength of love was no longer able to permeate the beings which grants them light and realisation. Not a glimmer of understanding remained in you when you deserted Me of your own accord, and in this utter darkness you enter this world as a human being, but you can gain realisation again, you can draw this knowledge, which is offered to you in every way by Me, your God and Father, from within yourselves when you live on earth .... Merely the bond of the spiritual spark with the eternal Father-Spirit must have been established, which then will also assure you the influx of light, that is, an unlimited measure of knowledge which will be imparted to you by the never-ending love as long as you fulfil the condition which I associated with it .... And a person who becomes enlightened, who increases his knowledge of the kingdom which is not of this world, can consider himself fortunate. For he has already started his ascent, because he will only ever receive light as a result of a life of love, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life because it leads the human soul to perfection.

A small amount of knowledge which corresponds to the truth is always a sign of divine union, because love unites the human being with Me and love, in turn, guarantees truthful knowledge .... This is why the human being should, from the start of his life, look for the association with Me through a life of love, then his will shall be directed correctly .... since he once directed it wrongly and therefore descended into darkness .... And a will that is directed correctly will always strive towards Me, but it must pay attention to the delicate voice, the expression of the spiritual spark in him, which tries to persuade him to live a way of life that is righteous before Me .... He will not be compelled to follow this spark’s inner urging, for in the embodiment as a human being the soul receives its free will again which, however, would never be able to choose Me had I not provided him with the spiritual spark as a little helper, which tries to influence him from within to steer his will into the right direction and thereby advance in his higher development until he has reached his goal, the unification with Me .... which this very spiritual spark .... because it is a part of Me .... will constantly strive for. And as soon as the human being is granted just a little light, as soon as the truthful knowledge about his origin and his goal is presented to him, he will use his knowledge correctly; he will live his life accordingly, for he recognises the will of his eternal God and Creator Who wants to unite Himself as Father with His child again, Who wants to grant the original state to His living creation again, in which it was infinitely happy. But as long as the human being still lives in spiritual darkness his life on earth is at a standstill, for he neither recognises his beginning nor his end, he neither recognises the purpose and goal nor the reason for his earthly existence, and thus he does not direct his will correctly either, that is, according to My will. His ability to do so is simply ailing, because he lacks all knowledge and his will, kept down by My adversary, is extremely weak as well and only strength of love would be able to strengthen it, but this can only be gained by a person if he listens to My spirit in him which proclaims My will to him, which only ever expects loving activity from you so that you will ascend again. And thus, you should only try to attain knowledge about My will and live up to it, and truly, you will become enlightened, your strength will grow and you will also be able to resist My adversary. For then your spiritual spark will constantly strive towards the Father-Spirit of eternity, and it will also establish the union with Him and never want to let go again, because light and strength makes it immensely happy and the soul will inseparably unite itself with Me once more as it was in the beginning ....

Unity of ecclesiastical denominations? ....

There is no chance that the ecclesiastical denominations will agree with each other because they hold on to their spoiled teachings and do not try to distance themselves from them .... They all concentrate on external practices, they represent a Christianity which does not correspond to what Jesus describes as the church founded by Him .... Because this church is a spiritual union, its members exemplify a living Christianity which transforms a person from within, it cannot be compared with the Christianity advocated by the churches .... which mainly follows external customs, has adopted countless practices and ceremonies and thus attaches more importance to those while neglecting the inner change of the human being’s nature into love .... As a result it can never achieve the right relationship with God, the spiritual rebirth, which, however, is the essence of the church founded on earth by Jesus Himself. None of the denominations will relinquish their traditions, not one of them will, for the sake of another, renounce anything even though it is a mere human product and has no value before God.

The denominations’ argument concerns those differences which were created by them in the course of time, but no thought is given to the actual misguided spiritual knowledge which had caused the confusion in the first place and which is eagerly defended as the original religion. This, however, can only be found in the truth taught by Jesus Himself on earth which has also been distorted by now and is no longer supported by any of the existing denominations, nor can it be supported because it needs the working of the spirit, which can only be attained by fulfilling the divine commandments of love. And particularly this commandment is in fact taught but observed least of all, because all later added man-made commandments are paid more attention, although they are of no value since they did not originate from God but are mere human work .... thus they cannot last and have no influence on the further development of the human soul which has to mature here on earth. The divine Word of Jesus on earth which gave mankind the full truth has been interpreted so incorrectly that these interpretations have resulted in many wrong customs.

Here God’s adversary has played his part by confusing the spirit of men, which became noticeable in the demands of these various denominations, which always separated when people argued over the spiritual meaning of Jesus’ Words. And each denomination supported such controversial issues according to the degree of their understanding or the spiritual state of those who believed themselves to have a calling but who did not belong to the church of Christ themselves, or their spirit would have been enlightened and they would have dissociated themselves from the existing creeds or schools of thought. Some eager representatives whose maturity of soul was already further advanced certainly did fight for the knowledge they had gained. But they could never prevail because their opponents were not willing to relinquish a structure which only consisted of misguided human practices, which never correspond to divine will because they did not concur with the pure truth ....

And even if the denominations intend to unify, they will still not give up these human institutions and endeavour to build the true church of Christ which expects of people an inner life in accordance with divine will not reliant upon any external practices, but solely upon a life of love. This will establish a connection with God and result in living faith as well as a full understanding of the pure truth which is gained through the working of the spirit within the human being and which is the sole characteristic of the church which Jesus Christ established on earth. And as long as people do not abandon the formalities through which they deter many people’s faith altogether, as long as they do not want to experience the inner awakening themselves, which results in the working of the spirit and enlightenment of thought, it will be a pointless beginning to achieve an agreement, for then they do not agree in truth but hold on to the misguided spiritual knowledge which, however, will be of no benefit for their souls ....

The transformation of the original spirit into creations ....

My Word shall bring you clarity, it shall answer questions and solve problems which you are unable to solve intellectually yourselves. You shall become knowledgeable if you desire to know, you shall be educated in all truth, for I want to give you light and illuminate your spirit, so that you do not continue to live in darkness and damage your soul, for I want to save it for all eternity. My immense love only ever wants your soul’s salvation because I long for your return, for unity with you, which requires the perfection of your soul. You once came forth from Me in all perfection, for I created you as My images, as utmost perfect beings, as miniatures of Myself and yet of the same quality, because your fundamental element was love since you came forth from the original source of Love, Which created vessels for Itself in order to emanate Itself into the vessels .... in order to let this strength of love continually flow into these created beings ....

These beings, My images, were pure love. They were My radiated strength of love which could indeed perceive and behold each other but they were unable to behold Me Myself from Whom they originated, because I was the original fullness of strength of love Myself which they could not see or they would have ceased to exist. For I had externalised them as tiniest sparks, as independent beings .... as I have already explained to you several times .... although, as a purely spiritual process it will never be quite understood by you humans on earth. But since these beings were independent entities endowed with free will and a lot of strength and light at their disposal due to the fact that they were constantly permeated by the flow of My love’s strength, I could not prevent them from misusing their free will such that they turned away from Me, that they .... when faced by their test of will to acknowledge Me as their God and Creator .... denied Me this acknowledgment ....

They turned to My first created being .... Lucifer .... who was visible to them and whose beauty stood out in brilliant radiance, and rejected the emanation of My love’s strength, which meant that they distanced themselves ever more from Me as the primary source of light and strength .... This process, too, has been explained to you humans time and again as far as I could make it understandable to you .... But now you should know that although My externalised living creations could indeed change themselves into the opposite .... they could not perish but continued to exist and will continue to exist for all eternity .... The beings’ fundamental substance was love, thus strength which, according to eternal law, has to be active .... it cannot remain inactive forever. Due to the ever increasing distance from Me as a result of rejecting My emanation of love, My created original beings’ spiritual substance became solid, and thus these beings became incapable of working and becoming active .... And so I dissolved the original spirits, I transformed the beings which were My once externalised emanated strength, and creation came into being, in which the strength could work again, thus become active in accordance with My will.

Consequently, you can rightly say that the whole of creation consists of original spirits transformed by My will, the same strength which I emanated in form of self-aware beings were now changed into other forms, into works of creation of every kind .... I then assigned a task to every work of creation, and thus the original spiritual substance, dissolved in particles, now passes through all creations and serves Me in the law of compulsion. The strength becomes active in relation to My will, because strength must become effective in line with fundamental law .... Always consider that the first created spiritual entities were My emanated strength, irrespective of whether they were dissolved or joined together again after an endless time .... the first created spirit will not cease to exist, but it will return to Me again one day without fail, but then it will be the same being again that had originated from Me .... On its path of return to Me it passed through all creations and finally enters the form of the human being .... as his soul .... the last brief stretch of the path when it has to achieve unity with Me again, when it has to consciously accept the emanation of My love again, because voluntary return to Me requires the original spirit to relinquish his resistance to the emanation of My love’s strength .... Then it will once again be the Godlike living creation, My image .... the fallen original spirit .... the perfectly created being, but now it will have achieved its perfection again entirely of its own free will, and therefore it will be able to unite with Me again and remain united with Me forever ....

Amen

‘Judging’ the souls at the end ....

The hour of reckoning will come, the hour when every person will have to justify himself before his Judge .... For order will have to be restored again sooner or later and everyone who has transgressed this eternal order will have to be answerable .... The sentence will be passed in accordance with justice .... Every soul will experience the fate it has prepared for itself; the spiritual essence, which has taken the path through the creations, will be moved to where it belongs in relation to its degree of maturity .... the old creation will be dissolved, i.e. all forms will be reshaped into different kinds of works of creation, and the unredeemed spiritual substance will be placed into these forms either to re-start or to continue the path of salvation, depending on its degree of maturity. At present you humans still do as you want and please, and you are not prevented from doing so, irrespective of how God-opposing your actions are .... But the end will come soon, and you will no longer be able to do as you want, because the time will have passed when you were able to work for your soul’s salvation. For you will not have used the time in accordance with God’s will but strengthened your soul’s cover even more and thereby will have prepared your own fate by becoming increasingly enslaved by matter, and thus you will become matter again yourselves, which you had already long overcome. Yet the law of eternal order will have to be fulfilled again one day. Every spiritual essence, which lived on earth as a human being, will have to receive new forms, since higher development has to continue where it was interrupted .... And the spiritual essence which had failed in its embodiment as a human being has to be given a new opportunity to integrate itself in the process of return .... This could indeed be called an extremely harsh judgement but it only ever corresponds to the human being’s own free will, which he had misused on earth .... with the result that his soul will gain banishment into matter, it will be dissolved again and will have to take the infinitely long path through the creations until it once again enters the stage of a human being ....

One day it will achieve the final goal and leave every external shape behind, but it extends or shortens its own time until it can finally enter the kingdom of light in a redeemed state. And although God is inconceivably merciful and patient and in His love constantly tries to encourage people to make the right decision of will .... one day the time will come to an end and then His righteousness will come to the fore, and He will re-establish the old order which, however, will also signify a ‘judgement of the soul’ .... a transfer into the external form which corresponds to its state of maturity .... And, at the same time, this ‘judgment’ is the end of an earth- or salvation-period .... It will necessitate a destruction of all works of creation on earth which shelter unredeemed spiritual substance that travels along its process of development in a state of compulsion, as well as people who did not use their earthly existence to progress in their development. They, too, will be ‘judged’ .... that is, according to their spiritual maturity they will be placed into hard matter again .... You humans are now facing the end of this old earth, whether this seems credible to you or not .... Time and again your attention will be drawn to this fact in order to improve yourselves before the event and to enter the law of eternal order, which only requires a life of love, for love is a divine principle which you, too, as His living creations, will have to acquire if divine order is to be observed.

You are constantly admonished by seers and prophets, who proclaim this near end to you, to consider your real purpose of earthly life, so that the end will not catch you unawares and you will have to step before God’s judgment seat laden with sin if you have done nothing to fully mature in the final form .... as a human being, even if you are not yet released from your original sin by having taken this guilt under the cross and prayed to Jesus Christ for redemption from it .... Only he can take all guilt from you, and then you can step before God’s judgment seat free of guilt, and you will not have to fear the Last Judgment, then you will be able to exchange your stay on earth with the spiritual kingdom, which is your true home .... You will be able to enter the kingdom of the blissful spirits and neither have to fear the end of the old earth nor new banishment, for the eternal God is not a strict but a righteous Judge, Who will give to you all in accordance with your own will ....

Amen
