1 | 'Remain active in love....'
My dear child.... We all know that you depend on your daily work and therefore always try to accommodate you so that you can accept the daily reception without interruption.... However, consider how much better it would be were you able to keep to the same time.... within our ranks we have to accomplish a scheduled activity and therefore, where possible, instruct each person at the same time.... You might not understand this at the moment but trust our words, during reception you will feel that our thoughts flow easier to you as soon as you place yourselves at our disposal in a completely detached state. Every being is subject to certain decisive laws and so we are always already ready at the right time, so that you can receive what is granted to you.... Yet now continue your writing, we are ready for you.... we just wanted to explain how much easier it would be for you and for us, if you could possibly always make contact with us at the same time, and now begin: Remain active in love.... Write these words deep in your heart, for it is the epitome of an upright way of life.... It will be indescribably significant for you if love always decisively influences your actions. For such deeds are pleasing to God.... And if, from another side, the same is preached to you that every good deed has its rewards.... then realise that love must always be its motive.... How often is this disregarded.... how often do people give, how often is something done purely mechanically without heartfelt love.... And this deed is not recognised by the Lord. Even the smallest act shall be guided by love.... and you should always feel the Saviour's closeness in you.... For in every deed of love God Himself is close to you.... No matter what you do.... if it is in connection with the feeling of love for your Saviour.... to your fellow human beings, you will always find grace in the eyes of the Lord.... And only then will you be 'active in love....' My child, always instruct your fellow human beings about the importance of this teaching.... Make it clear to them that they must work at improving themselves from within, that they must first cultivate love in order to make attaining the connection with God increasingly easier which, in turn, will grant them the grace again to take the right path, for the human being only remains in contact with God through actions of love.... And henceforth all divine grace will flow to people who pay attention to this and, at the same time, transform themselves from within, if they first cultivate love in their hearts. And where you are able to show love to your neighbour, your change will bear fruit again.... For love awakens love in return.... and thus every good deed in love results in the same again, and such change has a refining effect on all those who are with you and around you.... Consider this and make every effort.... It is the Deity's intention that you should receive the love of heaven; in order to awaken it you must prove yourselves worthy.... you must strive of your own accord to receive the love of God.... Therefore practise love for God and your fellow human beings, for only through love can you become redeemed while you are still on earth and one day in eternity. __Amen

2 | Heartfelt contact with God.... Inner voice....
You should listen to your inner voice after a heartfelt prayer to Me, then you can also be certain that you are on the right path, for then it is My voice which will be speaking to you, advising and guiding you as is right for you. Someone who contacts Me more frequently, who won't do anything without having commended himself to Me, who always enters into dialogue with Me and asks for My blessing, will also do what is right, because I then will guide him Myself and always convey the right thoughts to him, so that his way of life consequently complies with My will too. __Yet this is questionable when you exclude Me from your thoughts, when you deem yourselves able to do everything yourselves, when you live your life without God.... then I often have to let you fail, so that you will take the path to Me again because you realise your weakness.... Irrespective of how powerful you seem to be, how abundantly you are endowed with earthly abilities, it will not influence your earthly life, instead it will take place according to My wise judgment, and therefore you will often find yourselves in situations where your own abilities will not get you anywhere, where you have to take refuge with Me in order to overcome them..... Although even then you can still refuse but you would do well to take the path to Me..... For I Myself thereby entice you to contact Me, Whom you would otherwise forget.... __And thus there will still be many difficulties in store for you, and you all should ask yourselves why your God and Creator allows this to happen to people.... You should not believe that only people's actions alone create conditions which appear almost unbearable.... You should also think of the One Who is Lord over heaven and earth.... and Who allows this to happen. And you should ask yourselves why I allow such things to come over you.... I could divert at any time what is caused by human will, or by virtue of My might reverse its effect.... I could and also will do so where I Am called upon with sincere faith for help in this adversity.... But I nevertheless allow people to experience great hardship because they should take the path to Me, which they haven't walked for a long time already.... Without Me they will lapse into utter weakness, but with Me they will be able to overcome even the most difficult situation, and this is what people should experience.... My Own as well as those who make the attempt to appeal to Me in utmost distress. For they will be helped, often miraculously.... __But the former, too, will realise that they are completely without strength because they rely on themselves and don't believe they need Me.... I want to reveal Myself to people, for their benefit but also for their downfall.... For anyone who even then doesn't want to recognise Me will be lost for an infinite time.... Don't rely on your own strength, it will not suffice for what will come your way; turn to Me beforehand already and appeal to Me to give you strength.... I will not deny it to anyone who thinks of Me in the hour of need. But blessed are those who always carry Me in their heart.... They will not need to fear the approaching time of hardship, for I will protectively keep My hands over them, and no matter where they go, they will be escorted by guides guarding them and smoothing their every path.... __But there will be a storm.... which will devastate everything, it will awaken many sleepers and fearfully make them wonder whether they will be able to escape it. Yet whatever happens.... it is My will or My permission in order to give those on the wrong path a last opportunity of return.... They all can still turn to Me in the last hour, and they will truly never need to regret it.... For I accept everyone who tries to approach Me. I will extend My hands to him which he only needs to grasp for Me to be able to draw him to My Fatherly heart.... For you cannot become blessed without Me.... That is why you should take the path to Me, Who wants to provide you with everlasting beatitude.... __Amen
