Serious admonitions ....

Time and again I admonish you to detach yourselves from the world .... Yet you humans attach yourselves to it ever more, you progressively chase after earthly possessions, you increasingly indulge yourselves in the pleasures of life, and the spiritual kingdom becomes ever more distant for you, which can never be taken possession of alongside the physical world. And that is your ruin, the fact that you hand yourselves over to the lord who draws your souls down so that you get ever more entangled in his nets of lies, which are gold-plated and therefore not recognised for what they are .... Your desire for the pleasures of life will result in your death .... For this desire is placed into your heart by My adversary, he impels you to increase your craving of abandoning yourselves to worldly pleasures .... he inflames your physical longings into seeking and also finding fulfilment in sin .... He dispels all good thoughts, selfish love is being fanned into greatest passion, people only belong to him alone for they no longer question whether they live according to My will, to please Me .... The have fallen prey to the world and consequently to the one who is lord of this world ....

Dense darkness is spread across earth because no spiritual ray can penetrate it, and in this darkness My adversary has an easy game .... he captures countless souls and prepares their fate which they are incapable of realising in their blindness .... He will certainly give them whatever they desire in earthly life, yet their fate after the death of their body will be a dreadful one .... For then he will take full possession of them and render them powerless and unable to release themselves from his control, and they will have to pay for their short lifetime on earth in comfort with a dreadful destiny in eternity .... Yet regardless of how seriously it is presented to people, regardless of how urgently they are admonished and warned against the enemy of their souls .... they won’t listen and steadfastly keep their eyes on the world, which attracts them with its radiance.

And sin gets out of hand, for what the human being cannot accrue automatically he tries to gain by wrongful means. Nothing is sacred to him, neither his neighbour’s possessions nor his life if only he can improve his situation, if only he can derive an advantage to serve his body .... And with an attitude like that the light cannot possibly penetrate his heart, he lives in deepest darkness and feels comfortable therein. It is a time of depravity, a time of sin in which My adversary celebrates his triumphs, in which My messengers of light gain little influence and only the powers from below are successful .... My adversary is reaping a rich harvest .... and the time is approaching its end .... The work in My vineyard is needed more than ever so that people who do not completely submit to his influence can still be saved .... whose souls have not yet fallen prey to him ....

Amen

Every person is addressed by God ....

In every situation in life God comes to meet you in order to motivate you to make contact with Him, in order to step from the earthly into the spiritual sphere .... in order to mentally place yourselves into the latter. As long as you humans take your earthly path of life with purely earthly focussed thoughts you will live an unsuccessful earthly life, you don’t achieve anything for your souls for whose sake you live on earth .... And if you have not changed this attitude of yours by the time your body dies, your existence as a human being will have been pointless and the grace of your embodiment entirely futile .... You are unaware of the serious significance of earthly life, you are unaware of the immense regret you will suffer when you eventually realise in the kingdom of the beyond what you neglected to do due to your own fault, what you could have achieved had you made the right use of your life on earth as a human being. And because you spend no thought on this, God crosses your path time and again. Time and again he provides you with a reason to think about the actual purpose of your earthly life, He more or less affects you such that you should feel Him and could start to wonder, He Himself enters your thoughts but leaves it up to your free will whether you want to occupy yourselves with Him, whether you allow yourselves to be mentally addressed by Him. He does not exert any force but He is constantly concerned that you should turn to Him so that you will not live your life on earth in vain, without any success for your soul, which continues to exist after your body fades away. No-one will be able to say they have not been addressed by God, for every stroke of fate, every illness, every sorrow is an expression of God through which He wants to manifest Himself .... through which he tries to divert the thoughts from the world and motivate the person to take stock of himself. Every human being is granted hours of privacy when he can enter into solitude and seek contact with God .... and anyone who merely spends a thought on Him will be lovingly seized by Him and receive nourishment for his thoughts which benefit his soul. And no matter how far-away the person still is from God of his own will .... God follows him and tries to persuade him as well to turn around, yet always by different means. However, no one is left to his own devices, God leaves no one out in His endeavour to change his thinking .... no one need to do without the love of God, for all people are His living creations, whom He wants to win back as children .... He extends His hand to everyone, yet the human being must voluntarily seize His hand and allow himself to be pulled without resistance .... Then his earthly life will not be in vain, the soul will benefit from it and he can calmly await the hour of death, for it will merely be the gate to eternity ....

Amen

Task in life: Helping with love ....

Your task in earthly life is to lovingly help each other .... You are only able to work your way up through helpful love, for this alone raises your soul’s degree of maturity, this alone enables you to enter the kingdom of light and will ensure beatitude after your physical death. All other efforts are of no benefit to you if you exclude being of loving service, if your heart remains hardened, if you want to dominate where you should be helpful. For only through helpful neighbourly love will you make amends for the past sin of having rejected love, when you yourselves withdrew from love in order to follow the one who is totally devoid of love, who revolted against Me. Your life on earth has only been given to you to acquire the love again which you once rejected .... so that you demonstrate that you want to change your nature, that you demonstrate your change of will by being lovingly active .... Hence you cannot ignore love if you want to become perfect again, if you want to return to Me again in order to be infinitely happy. The knowledge of this is worthless to you if you don’t put it into practice. And the opportunity for this will always be offered to you .... and you will always see hardship around you, people in need will always approach you and appeal for your help .... And then don’t let them go from you without having helped them, if you are able to do so .... And don’t worry that you have to go short yourselves, for the measure you use will be the measure you receive again ....

But also use you intelligence .... this, too, is My advice so that you will not damage your neighbour more than helping him .... For adversity caused by a person’s own fault shall also be remedied by him again, where this is within the scope of possibility .... And the fact that it will be possible if the person is willing, can be appealed for by him from Me .... You must therefore distinguish between adversity and negligence .... You should certainly ease suffering but never encourage another person’s carelessness, which is a great evil and should therefore not be supported .... Yet where love helpfully intervenes the adversity will also quickly be remedied, for I will help as well, if I recognise love on the one hand and gratitude on the other .... No human being will be abandoned by Me, and if he turns to Me Myself he will also be shown a way which will guide him out of all adversity .... However, anyone who only relies on his fellow human being is not truly entitled to help, and the adversity is intended to make him see that he himself must change .... For adversity is often the teaching method I use for a person in order to win him over for Myself, so that the adversity impels him to Me, so that it reminds the person of Me and he takes refuge in Me Who will then never disappoint him. It is My will that all people shall become blessed, and thus it is also My will that they should recognise Me .... However, many people spend no thought on Me as long as they have a good life on earth, and thus they are on a downward spiral, towards My adversary .... Only through adversity can I influence them such that they turn around and strive to towards Me as their goal, that they pleadingly raise their hands to Me for help .... And I will hear this call and send them help when the time is right .... Be lovingly active as long as you live on earth and give to your neighbour what he needs .... And I will bless you and that which you give to your neighbour for love of Me ....

Amen

Deification of the created beings ....

In the beginning you all were on My side because you were utterly permeated by My strength of love which drew you to Me .... You enjoyed a state of supreme beatitude because you were divine beings, you were My shaped emanations of love, formations of highest intelligence and in possession of light and strength which, in turn, enabled you to be creatively active. You were perfect beings, images of Myself except that you had come forth from Me, whereas I Myself Am eternal and apart from Me no other creative power reigned. Consequently, everything having emerged from Me was My work .... Even the first-created being which, with My approval and with the use of My strength, produced all of you .... Even this being was My work and not, as it wanted you to believe, the creative power itself. Countless beings were brought into life by this being because it wanted to make creative use of the constant influx of strength from Me .... and it was indeed capable of doing so because I externalised it as a perfect being ‘like Myself’ for this very purpose .... to populate the infinite spiritual kingdom for its own blissful happiness .... The pleasure I experienced should also make My first-created being happy and therefore I granted it unlimited light and strength, I gave it free will which it was allowed to use as it wished .... but which it should have used according to My will if it wanted to be active in line with its perfection .... However, it started to use its will in opposition to My will .... which was indeed possible since the being was entirely free, thus its perfection would not have been questioned by any coercion whatsoever .... Nevertheless, this would have been impossible had the being aspired more for My love than for My power .... had it been satisfied with the strength of My love it constantly received .... The immense number of created beings brought into life by our mutual love aroused its wish to control them .... and although it knew that My strength had been instrumental in the creation of these beings, its love turned into an opposite feeling .... it was envious of My strength and therefore intended to separate the beings called into life by My strength in order to possess and rule them himself .... But since these living creations of Mine were permeated by My strength of love which kept them inseparably united with Me .... it would have been impossible for him to separate them from Me had I not released them Myself .... which I indeed did for the sake of My beings’ deification ....

You, who had been created in all perfection, would only ever have remained My creatures .... creations which would only ever be able to think and act according to My will but which did not correspond to My idea when I created you: free children who existed and worked in supreme perfection, who are certainly active according to their own will which, however, as a result of their love for Me, was the same as Mine .... This is what I wanted to achieve and therefore set you free for you to shape yourselves into what I had set as a goal for Me .... I did not withdraw My love from you, but neither did I stop the first-created being .... which is My adversary now .... from influencing you as well. Yet you, too, were endowed with free will and able to make a free decision for Me or for the first-created being .... You did not have to fall, for you were enlightened and able to feel My love and could have allowed yourselves to be drawn by it to Me .... However, the first-created being exerted great influence over you and you fell prey to it .... You voluntarily followed the one who did not make you happy but pulled you into the abyss instead .... For My adversary resisted Me, he rebelled against Me, he rendered My strength of love ineffective .... I Myself did not withdraw it from him but he distanced himself to such an extent that My illumination of love became increasingly weaker because he openly opposed it .... in the belief that the host of his followers he had pulled into the abyss with him gave him enough strength of his own .... From then on you all had to do without My strength of love even though I Myself did not withdraw it; instead, you had rejected it and therefore become weak and spiritually unenlightened .... You voluntarily forfeited your original inconceivably happy state. Even so, you shall not remain in your self-chosen condition forever, because My love will not abandon you, because you are My living creations as well and I will not leave you forever in a state which entirely contradicts your purpose and your origin .... I will not give up the goal I once had set for Myself .... the deification of the beings I created. I will accomplish it, and those of you who are still wretched as a result of your past rebellion against Me, will also enter the kingdom of light again one day, you will enjoy unlimited strength and be blissfully happy .... However, I will not exert force on you, you must completely voluntarily take the path of return to Me which will lead you back into perfection, which was once part of you and which you forfeited but which you will attain again one day, because My love only pursues this one goal, that one day you will work and be active again in light and strength as My children in My kingdom ....

Explanation about ‘spiritual spark’ and ‘soul’ ....

You will always receive clarification providing you appeal for it, because misguided thinking can result in doubts, misguided thinking shows gaps, but the truth is complete wisdom which enlightens you, which increases your realisation so that you learn to understand Me and My nature, My reign and activity as the most supreme and perfect Spirit .... and thereby also attain an ever more profound and living faith, which only the truth can achieve. This is conveyed to you by My love, whereas misguided spiritual knowledge is My adversary’s work who wants to destroy your faith in Me .... And I will always teach the same truth to you, the knowledge you receive will always concur and never present contradictions .... I Am a Spirit for ever and ever .... And spirit came forth from Me again .... beings of the same spiritual substance which were perfect like Myself and yet were first created by Me .... The fact that and the reason why these beings lost their perfection has already been explained to you many times by My love so as to make My plan of Salvation comprehensible to you and let your love for Me awaken and grow .... But any being in a state of imperfection cannot be considered ‘divine’ anymore; it belongs to a different sphere than the one I occupy with the spirits which remained perfect .... It took on a different nature, it completely changed within itself, its nature is contrary to My fundamental nature; nevertheless, it is and will remain strength which came forth from Me, which flowed into infinity and will one day flow back to Me again .... but it will only have reached Me once the spiritual being has attained a state of perfection once more.

In order to enable their return to their source the beings, having emerged but distanced themselves from Me, were disintegrated into countless minute spiritual particles, into countless substances, which were all given a task to fulfil in the whole of My Creation .... in order to then travel a path which definitely led them upwards again, back to Me .... Thus I drew the fallen spirit back to Me since, due to the great distance from Me, it would not have undertaken the ascent by itself in its weakened state .... And I achieved a situation in which all particles belonging to a spiritual being came together again .... I then gave these minute particles an external cover suitable to fulfil a great task: to stimulate the soul .... the union of all those minute particles .... into taking up an activity that would help restore it to its original state of perfection .... First I animated the dead external form, the human body, with the soul, with the spiritual being which had originally been in My image but had freely left its perfect condition .... And then, in order to enable this soul to attain perfection again, I embedded a tiny spark of My eternal strength of love into this soul .... Something divine joined the soul so as to help it on its way to reaching perfection ....

Hence a spark of love establishes contact with Eternal Love .... however, it first has to be kindled by the human being himself of his own volition .... it indeed glows within every person but it can be fanned into brightest radiance or be smothered .... in which case any contact with Me would become impossible .... and would lead to renewed banishment. This spiritual spark, which is a part of Me, dwells within the human soul from the start of its embodiment until the human being’s physical death .... Once the soul has united itself with its spirit during its earthly life, that is, once it has kindled the divine spark of love within itself and allows this spirit of love to determine its thoughts, will and actions it will have reached its original state again and returned to Me, because that which is part of Me strives towards Me, thus the union of this soul with Me as My child will have to take place. If, however, the soul has totally ignored this spark of love, if it has completely smothered it, then it will have deprived itself of its divine part again, which alone was able to help it attain life .... Thus it will have voluntarily chosen death again, the banishment in the solid form .... into which the divine spiritual spark cannot follow since, given the opportunity, it can only influence a self-aware being but never a being that has been dispossessed of its consciousness and which, in its constrained will, has no option but to comply with My will ....

Only freedom of will allows for the working of My spirit, yet this freedom of will can also prevent it, on account of which the soul can also enter the spiritual kingdom without ever having become aware of the spirit within itself. Such souls are in darkness in the beyond for an infinitely long time because the divine spiritual spark cannot shine .... because it left the soul at the moment of death and returned to its origin again .... Although the being is self-aware .... it is nevertheless still full of opposition, which makes it impossible for the spirit’s love to take effect. This is why it is immensely difficult to awaken the souls from their dead state into life but it is not impossible .... Sparks of love also burst forth in this kingdom, thus time and again My emanation of love tries to ignite within these souls and motivate their will to step into this ray of light and love, and then a willing soul will also be joined by My spirit again, but in that case it will no longer influence the soul from within but affect the soul externally .... i.e., it will be led into realisation by the world of light which on earth, however, could have been brought about by the spiritual spark within the person, had he allowed its working.

This is why the ascent into the spiritual kingdom is incredibly difficult. But it can never be denied that the soul is the actual self-aware entity, the formerly fallen originally created angel-spirit .... And it will remain a ‘fallen’ soul as long as it has not united itself with My spirit .... as long as it is not governed by the principle of love and has adopted its original nature again .... The spiritual spark within the human being .... the part of Me Myself is precisely this love which was missing in the fallen beings but which is placed into the human being’s heart as a minutely tiny spark to be aroused by him into a blazing flame .... The fallen being had renounced love .... and rejected My love. Without love it would never be able to return to Me, but I want to win it back again and, therefore, I place a tiny spark of My divine spirit into this soul which, however, has to be voluntarily kindled into the brightest glow. The being may also reject My love and will nevertheless not be left without help in the beyond, but the ascent into the world beyond is quite different to that on earth .... The soul will never be able to attain the degree it can accomplish by living on earth if it willingly allows itself to be guided by My spirit within itself .... if, through a life of love, it awakens the spiritual spark and thus, to a certain extent, has already entered into union with Me so that I can influence it directly because it does not oppose My emanation of love and thus changes its nature completely by conforming to My fundamental nature .... It will not be offered the same possibilities in the spiritual kingdom, but the soul will still be helped to ascend from the abyss into the light providing it does not resist the efforts of the beings of light and descend again into the deepest abyss, which would signify renewed banishment. The divine spiritual spark within you is the love which is the part of Me that rests in every human being and which can be kindled, but only voluntarily .... This spiritual spark has no shape but can permeate the whole soul and thus spiritualise it .... For the soul is the once fallen, self-aware entity which is intended to become the angel-spirit it was in the beginning ....

Amen

The ‘redeemed’ at the end ....
Inhabitants of the new earth ....

When, due to My will and My might, the destruction of this earth will take place, i.e. when everything living on this earth will be destroyed, it will become evident who is truly redeemed, for only they will survive the end and be able to enter My paradise on the new earth. For in order to survive this final work of destruction it is necessary to have utmost faith in Me in Jesus Christ as well as utmost devotion to Me .... thus it requires a complete separation from My adversary .... it necessitates the state of freedom which was purchased for humanity by Jesus with His death on the cross .... Only a being redeemed by His blood can inhabit the new earth where Satan has no more power; where I Myself can dwell amongst My Own because their original state has been re-established ....

Admittedly, salvation through Jesus Christ can be experienced by people called away by Me from this earth prior to the final end .... They, too, will be blissfully happy inhabitants in My kingdom where no evil power can harm or oppress them anymore, precisely because they are ‘redeemed’ from it .... Yet the people who shall inhabit the new earth will live in the same bliss, in complete freedom, full of light and strength, but nevertheless in earthly spheres, because they shall become the root of the new human race, because they shall help the following generation towards complete redemption, which has to live on earth until everything is completely spiritualised. Being redeemed themselves, the first human beings on the new earth are able to exert an extraordinary beneficial effect on their descendants as well as on the spiritual substances surrounding them and which are still constrained in the creations of the new earth. Thus this spiritual substance will be able to cover its process of development faster ....

For the time when My adversary is still bound in chains has to be used well .... while he has no access to the people on earth, since the strength and light of the ‘redeemed’ is so strong that it prevents his every approach to people .... In the same way as his working and raging was clearly noticeable in the last days before the end, in the same way as he used his every influence to draw people into the abyss, so will the influence of the Divine predominate on earth now .... everything will strive towards ascent and achieve it extremely easily because no adverse power can prevent it .... The redeemed human beings will bring forth new people who are full of love, thus the divine principle is dominant in them, enabling them to mature fully within a very short time in order to enter My kingdom of light after their earthly life comes to an end ....

The end ....
Transformation and new creation ....

And it will come to pass as I have told you .... the earth will lose its present appearance, an earthly and spiritual turning point will come, there will be a separation of the sheep from the goats .... My Own will attain beatitude and those who belong to My adversary will be banished again .... And this will have to happen or no further development would be possible anymore, for all souls strive towards the abyss except the few people who will remain true to Me until the end. But the people of the present time, who have already passed through the creations, will have taken the whole previous path of development in vain .... they, who have already reached the highest stage of development due to their previous earthly path, are now failing during the last stage and descend to such a point that the entrance into the spiritual kingdom will remain closed to them .... so that they will have to be banished into hardest matter in order to be admitted once again to take their last test of will as a human being after an infinitely long period of time ....

The number of those who use their earthly life correctly in order to become perfect is very small, since My adversary’s spirit exercises such poisonous influence on all earthly inhabitants that the earth will have to be cleansed first before it can fulfil its real purpose again .... And thus I want to carry out this cleansing process through a huge work of transformation which mankind cannot avoid, since they give rise to it themselves with their conduct and their utterly rebellious attitude towards Me. A change has to take place for the sake of My living creations which will have to suffer for an infinitely long time if they don’t complete their path of development on earth according to My will .... And this point in time has arrived, although it seems unbelievable to you humans that something should happen in creation, in nature, for which no proof of similar events on earth exists ....

The earth in its present form is in the last days of its existence .... None of you can possibly grasp what this means .... that everything will cease to exist .... that human beings, animals and all works of creation will come to an end and an entirely new earth will arise which will exceed your wildest imagination, because completely new works of creation will come into being which have never been seen by human eyes and which to you, who will experience and populate the new earth, will mean one miracle after another .... All through the ages I have told people that a new earth and a new heaven will come into being .... People failed to understand the meaning of it. But My Word is truth and will fulfil itself .... yet it will only be proof of My Divinity to the few whose profound faith in Me made them become My Own and to whom I can open the paradise of the new earth because they are and will remain My children forever .... These few also understand the meaning of My Words and they will expect Me and My arrival in the firm belief that I will rescue them from the adversity which precedes the final end. For they are My children and I will come for them when the time is fulfilled ....

Suffering and dying ....

My suffering and death on the cross could not be avoided, I had to empty the cup completely, I had to take everything upon Myself if the act of Salvation for you humans, to redeem you from all guilt, was to be accomplished .... Only the knowledge of your pitiful state persuaded Me to make this self-sacrifice because My heart was filled with love for you .... and this love wanted to prevent the appalling fate which awaited you after the death of your body .... Because I knew of this appalling fate, since My eyes could witness the blissfulness of the kingdom of light as well as the suffering and torment in the realm of darkness, and since My love was for you as My fallen brothers I searched for a solution to avert your dreadful fate .... I accepted all the guilt Myself and carried it on the path to the cross ....

Whatever had been physically done to Me was more than less just a symbol of what the entire burden of sin meant to Me, an immensely arduous, painful and suppressing burden, which made Me fall time and again and which I nevertheless carried with utmost love .... I took upon Myself all the pain My body could endure, for I carried the burden of sin on your behalf, I wanted to accomplish the atonement which you irrevocably would have had to make .... which you would have been eternally unable to do .... I suffered and fought, I truly sweated blood, I looked into all pits of hell, and fear and horror tore My soul apart .... I endured everything you would have had to endure yourselves .... And My love for you gave Me the strength to endure until the hour of death.

There is no comparison for My torment, no human being could have suffered to this extent .... But I had offered Myself voluntarily because I knew that only in this way could you be released from Satan’s chains .... I already knew in advance what to expect and carried this burden around with Me too, I consciously took the path which would finally lead to the cross, but I suffered terribly because of My knowledge and therefore could never be joyful amongst My Own .... I saw the tragedy imposed on the souls, I saw the futility of their earthly life if I had failed and not brought them salvation from sin and death ....

And this knowledge strengthened My will so that I accepted My fate without resistance, which has was the purpose and objective of My life on earth .... But right up to the end I had to make a great effort, right up to the end the burden on Me had increased so tremendously that I could feel My strength diminishing and thus I called as a human being to God, to let the cup pass Me by .... But the strength of My love was stronger than My human weakness .... And the day of My indescribable suffering and My death on the cross became the day of Salvation from all guilt for you humans .... And the knowledge of this enabled Me to patiently accept everything so that I could finally call out ‘It is finished ....’ And My soul could return from whence it had come, since through My death the complete unification with My Father, from Whom I, too, had once emerged, took place ....

Accountability before God’s judgment seat ....

One day you all will have to justify yourselves before God’s judgment seat .... make sure that you can step before Him without fear and trepidation; make sure that you will be acceptable in God’s eyes so that you may share His kingdom with Him .... This is a serious admonition, for you will greatly regret it one day, if you neglect to subordinate yourselves to His commandments, if you pay no attention to His will on earth and then realise the consequences of your indifference and opposition. As yet you all still have the opportunity to change if you don’t live the right way, if you don’t care about God’s will, your earthly task is still constantly pointed out to you, the Word of God is still made accessible to you and His might is time and again revealed to you through all kinds of events .... You can still change if you seriously want to .... However, once your hour has come, when you are called up from this world, then the hour of your accountability will also have come, and you will no longer be able to undo anything nor catch up on what you have done or neglected to do during your earthly life, then you will be judged according to righteousness and justice, then all your sins will be revealed and you will recognise yourselves .... for then you will live in darkness and find yourselves in a miserable state .... which, however, you created for yourselves through your way of life on earth .... Don’t live carelessly from day to day, consider the fact that you were only permitted to embody yourselves on earth for a purpose, that you did not arbitrarily come into existence as a whim of the Creator .... that you were given a goal and that this goal can only be reached if you subordinate yourselves to God’s will, if you adapt yourselves to divine order .... if you work at improving yourselves, so that everything which had left the order will live in eternal order again .... when you, who are imperfect, shape yourselves to perfection again by fulfilling the divine commandments, which demand love for Him and your neighbour. God gave you these commandments because you were devoid of love which, however, is the epitome of divine order .... He gave them to you as a guiding principle for your life on earth, according to which you can therefore conduct yourselves in life .... Only the fulfilment of these commandments is His will .... which He time and again proclaims to you through His Word .... Thus, listen to His Word and try to live up to it by only ever accomplishing works of love in order to thereby come ever closer to Him. Then you truly need not fear the day of Judgment, then you will be able to step before God’s judgment seat, before His eyes, and He will be well pleased with you .... the hour of passing away from this earth will also be the hour of your redemption and you will be able to enter the spiritual realm in a free and unburdened state .... Abide by My admonition which sounds to you from above, don’t be half-hearted and indifferent because you deem the day of passing away still to be distant .... Bow to His will and fit in with it .... live in love, because then you will live in and with God and one day you will be accepted in His kingdom, where love reigns supreme and where love bestows beatitudes without limitation ....

Jesus took all suffering upon Himself ....
Why suffering? ....

I took all people’s suffering upon Myself .... Thus you can live a carefree earthly life and strive towards ascent unimpeded, you can truly live your life on earth as if you were in paradise already .... if only you lived with your final goal in mind, if you consciously strove for unity with Me, which would certainly be possible for you, because I paid for the original sin so that you can take the path of ascent without a burden. However, you are still exposed to My adversary’s influence, and from this influence you ought to release yourselves .... For your time on earth was given to you so that you can test your will, My adversary can still influence you during this time and you must pass this test of will by offering him resistance and consciously striving towards Me. His influence will not bypass you entirely without a trace, you will more or less react to it and therefore, as a result of My counteraction, become subject to afflictions and adversities which should let you seek a heartfelt bond with Me so that the danger of being captured by him will be eliminated .... Your soul still belongs to him in body for as long as it is still physically bound and encased and surrounded by immature spiritual substances .... I died for you on the cross so that you would be able to detach yourselves from My adversary’s chains, yet the soul has to achieve this detachment itself, i.e., it must sincerely want to separate itself from My adversary ....

And in order to influence your will accordingly you need to experience adversity and misery .... unless your will fully belongs to Me and no longer allows itself to be influenced by My opponent .... In that case, however, your earthly life will be more bearable, then you can already rightfully claim that you are redeemed from sin and death, from weakness and bondage .... But then you will fit into the missionary work of redemption for your fellow human beings of your own accord, for then you will know the significance of earthly life and want to help your fellow human beings’ to also become liberated from the power which keeps them captive. And then your earthly life will not be without distress so as not to force your fellow human beings decision of will, for as long as the person’s soul is still immature he looks for a carefree life of happiness and would only try to change his life again for the sake of achieving selfish goals which, however, would not lead him to attaining perfection .... Through My death on the cross I wanted to facilitate your entry into eternal beatitude .... and not purchase you a paradise-like life on earth .... Nevertheless, you can make your earthly life bearable, as long as you only live in heartfelt unison with Me .... Then nothing can depress and burden you anymore, then everything that happens to you is just evidence of My love for you and then you will also know its purpose and voluntarily submit to your fate .... You will no longer suffer but consciously evaluate everything and consider it a gift of grace because it guarantees you a higher degree of maturity, because one day it will increase your bliss, for which you will only ever be grateful. So therefore you only carry a cross for your fellow human beings’ sake .... for yourselves, however, it is a sign of My love which has destined you to participate in My act of Salvation ....

Gifts of the spirit ....
Conditions ....

The gifts of the spirit are bestowed upon every person who sincerely strives for them. They cannot be given to them, they have to be acquired by complying with My commandment of love for God and one’s neighbour .... by living a life in accordance with My will. For as soon as My will is done the person will be living in My eternal order, and then light and strength will permeate him as in the beginning, since he was created in My eternal order, in perfection, that is, as a being with the same nature as Mine .... My spirit permeated the being, and My spirit will permeate it again as soon as it enters My eternal order as a human being once more. The fact that My spirit will never be able to work in a person who lives outside of My eternal order, that he will therefore never be able to demonstrate the gifts of the spirit, must be completely understandable to you. This is why every Word-reception also requires the working of My spirit in the human being .... for to receive My Word means to be instructed in absolute truth, to know about everything which makes My Nature understandable to you humans .... to know about the reason and cause, the purpose and aim of My reign and activity and of everything that is visible to you ....

To be instructed in the truth means to be guided into realisation, which you once possessed but lost due to your own fault. Hence this initiation into the truth through My spirit, through My Word, is a present .... a gift which I convey to everyone who voluntarily attains a degree of maturity, as this is the condition for the granting of spiritual gifts .... Each one of you is able to acquire them, no-one will be excluded, however, they cannot be attained by someone who does nothing to contribute towards it .... who does not shape his nature into love, which alone enables the dormant spirit within him to establish a connection with the Father-Spirit, so that I Myself can then work in him through My spirit. Therefore it follows that a connection with Me must always be established and that this requires conscious striving towards Me. Anyone who thus makes contact with Me Myself has already voluntarily taken a step into My kingdom, he had relinquished his resistance to Me and completely turned his will towards Me, and his share therefore has to be light and strength, which are offered to him from My kingdom.

The human being can enter My kingdom unhindered at all times if I Am his goal .... But he will not be granted admission as long as I Am still excluded from his thoughts and aspirations. However, in that case he can be led by My adversary to his realm, who will make him believe that he arrived at the right goal .... who will also know exactly what the human being is striving for, and who will give him what he is looking for according to his desire .... This applies to people who thirst for knowledge, yet not for the sake of the pure truth but for their own advantage .... who want to know in order to be important and not in order to testify to Me and on My behalf .... They, too, will receive something but from the one who opposes the truth .... because he opposes Me .... True gifts of the spirit will only be received by an earthly child which is utterly devoted to Me, which therefore also knows the full truth since it will request it from Me Myself, and which therefore also clearly recognises what is error and what is truth .... whose desire for truth prevents My adversary from gaining entry, because he identifies a connection between the earthly child and Me as a brightly shining ray which he avoids so as not to be touched by it himself. But where he finds admission due to congenial thinking and striving he will cause all the more damage .... For he will always make an effort to obscure the light which shows people the right path .... He will always work against Me yet hide his true face behind a mask, for it is the time of the end and he knows that he doesn’t have much time left ....

Punishment for sin? Self-inflicted fate ....

No-one can avoid being punished for his sins since with his sins the human being himself creates a state which is painful to him .... I do not punish him for his sins, yet according to the law of eternal order every action, every wrong thought and deed has an effect, and precisely this effect is caused by people themselves and experienced by them as torment, as punishment, which, however, only ever corresponds to the law of eternal order. And this is why the adversity and torment is inconceivable which people are approaching who lead a sinful life, who blaspheme and mock Me, who think they can pull everything that is divine and pure into the mud without having to pay for it. They commit one sin after another and will be horrified how the consequences of their violations will affect them .... Yet they cannot avoid their judgment .... For I cannot give them anything they didn’t want themselves, I can only give them the reward which corresponds to their life and their deeds, and therefore they will have to endure much pain. And they can consider themselves fortunate if they are still pulled up on earth to make amends for their guilt of sins, if they still have to suffer on earth before they are called away from earth. For they can still come to their senses on earth, they can still recognise their sins on earth and turn around on the path they had travelled so far ....

In the kingdom of the beyond, however, the realisation of their guilt can often only be expected after an infinitely long time, for a sinful person enters the kingdom of the beyond with a completely darkened mind and it takes a long time before he can clarify his thoughts and regret his way of life on earth .... because he is without light and strength, yet he feels every pain which he nevertheless had prepared himself .... Anyone who presents Me as a punishing God does not know My law of eternal order or he would never be able to speak in this way .... For My love tries to protect all people from the fate they are preparing for themselves and which can never be called blissful. And I truly will do everything in order to make it easy for people .... However, if they don’t want this, if they won’t let themselves be guided by Me and act wrongly of their own accord, then they will also have to accept the consequences, but they will never be able to say that I have prepared the fate for them which they are creating for themselves .... For I know about the dreadful agonies and try everything in order to avert these torments from the beings .... But I will not take your free will away .... And anyone who sins must also accept the results of sin, because this corresponds to My law of eternal order. People can indeed act heartlessly and make their fellow human beings suffer, but I Am Love Itself and I only ever want to provide you with happiness .... But where human will does not allow for this there cannot be happiness .... For anti-divine desire also creates an anti-divine fate, a fate of excruciating torment and darkness, a fate of most bitter captivity .... a state of bondage and weakness, which is always the consequence, the result of sin and therefore the punishments were precipitated by the being itself .... which lived on earth in opposition to My eternal order ....

Spiritual turning point ....
The approach of night ....

You humans cannot expect a spiritual revival on this earth anymore, for all forces of hell have been let loose which work on My adversary’s instructions and truly have immense influence over people, because due to the extent of their own lack of spirituality they don’t recognise who is controlling them. A spiritual turning point can no longer take place anymore, yet individual people can still be led onto the right path, individual people will still accomplish a change in themselves, and for the sake of these individuals everything will still be done before the end arrives. However, it will be strikingly obvious how rapidly humanity slides down, how increasingly deeper it descends into darkness and shuns the light .... it will be obvious how brutally the light of truth will be fought against, how much the unbelief comes to the fore, how far away from God people live yet pay homage to My adversary .... And therefore there can be no delay anymore because there is no further prospect that a change will ever take place unless I accomplish this change Myself .... but in a way which is unwanted by humanity .... by putting an end to everything and creating a new beginning .... The time span until the end is exceedingly short yet no-one knows the day, and therefore everyone strives half-heartedly, even My believers don’t imagine it to be forthcoming so soon as to diligently work for their souls .... But I keep telling you time and again: You will be approaching it shortly .... I must reiterate this call over and over, I must incite you to be extremely active, I must also ask My servants to do their work ever more eagerly, because it is important and can still save individual people from ruin when the end arrives, which I announced on and on .... Although the events in the world will have to take their natural course, and this also places My Own into a certain state of calm, yet time and again I say to you: The end will arrive suddenly .... the day will dawn unexpectedly and end differently than usual .... it will be followed by an everlasting night and the light of day will only shine again for the few who are and will remain My Own despite the testing hostilities and pursuits by My adversary .... Admittedly, you still have to face the time of the battle of faith yet even this will only last for a short period of time, because it will be extremely fiercely waged, so that the day of My coming to earth will be precipitated by people themselves .... Events will very quickly follow each other and yet appear to people as completely natural occurrences which deserve no special merit .... hence they will not want to associate these events with the shortly approaching end ....

For this reason it will also take My Own by surprise, for I will come like a thief in the night .... because no-one will think of it if the announced event still appears to be far away. If only you humans believed that your attention is merely drawn to it so that you can prepare yourselves .... Your remorse will be painful, for all of you still do far too little for the salvation of your soul. Earthly life was not given to you as an end in itself, and every day could be utilised such that you could attain an incredible abundance of light which will provide you with incomparable beatitude in the spiritual kingdom .... and one day you will realise this and sorrowfully remember the insufficiently used time on earth. But at the time of the end no-one believes or understands it, the prevailing low spiritual level can almost not be thought worse anymore, for you humans are unable to see that which is open before My eyes, you humans must believe what cannot be proven to you, and this also includes the termination of this earthly period, which is of great spiritual significance. You must, if you don’t want to believe or think yourselves unable to believe, make an effort to live a life of unselfish love, and then you will feel within yourselves that you are approaching a completely different era .... And you will not go astray, for I take pity on all those who don’t entirely belong to My adversary and help them to progress further in the kingdom of the beyond, if their earthly life comes to an end before the Last Judgment .... An extremely dark night is approaching, the day soon comes to an end but as yet there is still light .... you are still able to use the light of the day and ignite a light within yourselves which will never be extinguished again .... And then you need not fear the approaching night .... .

But woe to you if you are sluggish .... if you believe that the day will never end .... Woe to you if you live from day to day without considering your soul .... And to those of you who don’t fear death because you believe that you will cease to exist .... I say that you will experience death with all its terrors and that you will be unable to escape these terrors .... Then you will no longer be able to discard your life for you cannot cease to exist, you will continue to live even in the state of death, you will have to suffer agonies which you cannot get away from .... For spiritual death is far worse than the death of the body, which can also be your admission into a blissful life .... Listen to My call from above, let yourselves be warned and admonished .... Don’t be indifferent and let these Words pass your ears unheeded but vividly imagine the hardship which will await you if you don’t give credence to My Words .... You will constantly be able to observe the signs of the end, yet everything will happen so naturally that you certainly could believe but don’t have to. Nevertheless, your beatitude depends on your belief, for only the believer will prepare himself, he will remember Me and stay in contact with Me, even when the work of disintegration has begun. For time has run out and in keeping with divine order, what has been determined in My eternal plan of Salvation will come to pass. The earth will be transformed and with it all living creations, so that all spiritual substances will be engendered into those forms again in which they belong according to their degree of maturity .... The divine order will be restored again, because there is no other way to guarantee the spirits’ higher development, yet the goal of My love is only ever this higher development which intends to bring you, My living creations, closer to Me again ....

The task to spread the truth presupposes receipt of truth from God ....

You should speak in My name for Me and My kingdom .... You should say the same to people as I would say to them Myself if I visibly lived amongst them .... you should instruct them truthfully like I Myself have done during the time I lived on earth ....

If I give you this task then I also have to provide you with the possibility to accomplish it .... And if I expect you to impart the truth to people then I also have to give you the truth, so that you will be able to work in accordance with My will for Me and My kingdom. But therefore you can also be certain that whatever I give to you is the utter truth, otherwise I could not demand of you to proclaim the Gospel in My name. And thus you can confidently regard yourselves as My instruments, you can repeat with utter confidence what you receive from Me through the spirit, you can stand up for the truth with conviction, you need not trouble yourselves with doubts or you would have to question God’s love, omnipotence and wisdom if He could not protect you from error.

I have initiated you into My eternal plan of Salvation .... I gave you knowledge of My reign and activity, of your purpose of existence, of the reason and goal for everything in existence .... I tried to make you understand that My love constantly cares for all living creations .... I have introduced you to knowledge that you cannot simply dismiss as implausible because all correlations were revealed to you with profound wisdom .... And this knowledge alone can already be regarded by you as evidence of extraordinary activity .... you can also believe everything, because it is offered demonstrating My love to you far more comprehensibly than the knowledge acquired by human intellect which, however, lets doubts arise in My love, wisdom and omnipotence .... But I have only conveyed the information to you for one purpose: to distribute it amongst people, so that they learn the pure truth which originates from Me and which should be passed on to them unaltered .... I Myself, Who is Eternal Truth Himself, give this instruction to you .... And I give to you in abundance, I provide you with extensive information which you should pass on, and you truly need not accept ‘additional knowledge’ from elsewhere .... I therefore caution you not to combine My pure truth .... the spiritual information you receive from Me .... with spiritual information not imparted to you by Myself, for there is a great risk that the pure living water will be mixed with harmful embellishments .... Pass it on again as pure and adulterated as you received it from Me, for you are drawing from the spring of life, a source has been opened up for you which lets the most delectable gift flow out: direct strength from Me, My Word, which originates from Me directly and affects your spiritual ear. Thus I Myself bring the living water to you which fully suffices to awaken people to life and to keep them alive ....

I truly know what is necessary and helpful to you, and that is also what I will convey to you .... Keep to this and only this .... then you will speak in My name and proclaim the pure Gospel to your fellow human beings .... And you will always be blessed by Me ....

The human being is close to the goal ....

You humans are close to the goal .... Don’t invalidate the success of your previous long life on earth by failing now and descending into the abyss again from which you worked your way up over an infinitely long time .... Don’t let the final test of will become the cliff which destroys you .... Instead, diligently pursue your goal and you will be happy and free in a very short time. The significance of your life on earth as a human being is usually unknown to you .... you don’t spend any thought on what happened to you before and what will happen afterwards .... nor are you aware of the fact that you have reached the final stage of your development where your free will must become active in order to reach the final goal: unification with God, which will result in beatitude and freedom. And, because you lack knowledge, there is a great risk that you won’t make full use of your earthly life as a human being and that the last opportunity of attaining freedom for good will remain unused. In that case, the previous infinitely long path your soul had to take through the works of creation in a bound state will have been in vain .... Then the laboriously attained degree of maturity, which the embodiment as a human being resulted in, will be at risk, for you do not remain on the same level but descend again instead, and might even have to take the process through the creations once more, since so many blessings are at your disposal during earthly life that you will transgress against God again if you again reject the help He offers you .... And this signifies that you will fall all over again, which God in His greater than great love would like to prevent. For this reason He conveys His Word to you, the knowledge about His eternal plan of Salvation, about your beginning and your goal, about your task on earth .... It is not His will that you should fall back into the abyss again, but He will not curtail your free will .... He will certainly help you but He will not force you .... And therefore it is indeed possible, but not certain, that you will reach your goal, because your resolve is the decisive factor; and in order to strengthen your will, in order to turn it in the right direction, you are approached by God Himself in His Word .... He instructs you, He informs you of the significance of your life on earth and He tries to strengthen the sense of responsibility you have towards your soul .... He conveys the truth to you humans and every person can accept it if he is of good will .... if he seriously thinks about the reason for his existence, if he feels affiliated to a supremely perfect being and would like to establish the connection with this being .... The Word conveyed to earth by God Himself will make him happy, for he will recognise the truth, he will feel that God Himself is speaking to him and he will do what God demands of him, he will fulfil the will of God, and God will reveal Himself to him through His Word ....

Divine guidance through the spirit ....

If all of you meet the conditions which allow for the working of My spirit in you, then the constant guidance through My spirit will also be assured to you and you need no longer fear that you are taking the wrong path .... Then you will only encounter what My eternal Father-Spirit recognises to be of benefit to your soul’s maturity. However, fulfilling these conditions presupposes the sincere will to live within divine order, that is, you must want to do what is right .... In that case you will make an effort to cultivate a life of love, you will believe in a supremely perfect Being Which had created you and you will desire to enter into contact with this Being .... You will pray to Him .... And thus you will establish a connection with Me, which is required first so that I can express Myself through the spirit. Without the fulfilment of this condition it is impossible for My spirit to work in you, since this would give rise to compulsory advancement. But once contact with Me has been established so that I can influence you through My spirit, you can also be convinced that your whole life on earth will be subject to this influence, that everything will therefore happen and approach you in a way that will move you upwards .... For I will never lead you towards the abyss but will draw you higher without fail .... Admittedly, you must strive constantly, you should not become half-hearted or complacently hand yourselves over to all forces which seek to influence you, instead, your resolve must ceaselessly be and remain inclined towards Me, I must always remain your goal, then you will reach your goal, Me Myself .... to Whom you have belonged since the beginning. My spirit works in every person who merely has a positive attitude towards Me .... who acknowledges Me and wishes to be seized by Me .... You humans must seriously question your attitude towards Me .... whether you reject Me, whether you do not believe in the existence of a Creator in relation to yourselves and therefore live your lives entirely separately from Him .... or whether you acknowledge Me as existent and fear My power and therefore only feel a sense of discomfort when you sin against My commandments .... or whether you love Me and therefore try to live in accordance with My will .... You must seriously realise that the working of My spirit in you can only ever take place when you unite with Me in love .... Therefore you cannot expect to become enlightened or guided by My spirit if you are deliberately still apart from Me although you believe in My existence .... Only your will to be closely united with Me will result in the working of My spirit in you, and then your life on earth will no longer be without guidance, then everything will approach you such as My love recognises to be good for you and your perfection. Then you will listen to the inner voice of the spirit, that is, you will comply with your inner urge and, in a manner of speaking, will only do what My spirit in you asks you to do ....

Voice of conscience ....
Feeling ....
Right path ....

The path intended for you to follow on earth will be repeatedly shown to you, even if you don’t receive any direct instructions from Me, for I also speak to you in a way which you describe as ‘feeling‘, so that you can use your common sense, because you will encounter either painful or pleasing situations which will not leave you unimpressed .... Through your feeling you are able to recognise what is desirable for a human being, what makes him unhappy and what has a damaging effect on his body .... and be subsequently influenced by your will to withhold what is painful from your fellow human being or to give to him what makes him happy .... Feeling and intellect by themselves can show you the right path if you lack truthful instructions or if religious instructions don’t appeal to you because their origin appears to be doubtful. His own experience can determine a human being’s will, thoughts and actions, and every human being certainly knows what is fair and just, because everyone lays claim to be happy himself and because every human being can ‘feel’ physical and psychological pain. The love he has for himself will always prompt him to gain possession of that which makes him feel free and glad .... and a righteous way of thinking will also allow other people the same .... thus the knowledge of the right path is placed into every person; but how he uses the knowledge he gained through his own feeling and intellectual reasoning depends on his will, which is and will remain free for the sake of his own perfection.

And therefore it will also always be possible to differentiate between good and evil, and more precisely, their effect on the human being himself. This is why one can speak of the ‘voice of conscience’, which will always express itself in ‘feeling’ but which can also be stifled in the human if his selfish love is so strongly developed that the human being lays claim to all that is pleasant for himself and is unkind to his fellow human being .... In that case his sensitivity becomes increasingly weaker and then people will often claim that not every person knows what is good or evil .... And again, the only answer to this can be: He does not want to know it. For as long as he knows what is desirable or undesirable for himself he also knows the difference between good and evil .... even without any external instruction, but which would always confirm that his inner feeling corresponds to My teaching, through which I show people the right path they should take on earth .... to My teaching of love, which only ever requires a person to practise love. However, where animalistic instincts from the previous time of development are excessively present in a person only the feeling of strength towards the weak prevails .... for the forces of darkness take hold of such a person and impel him to act according to their will ....But such a ‘possessed’ person cannot be used as evidence that the path to Me cannot be found and taken without instructions from Me .... For My love cares for all My living creations but allows them to keep their free will ....

Deification ....
Spiritual spark ....

You shall be united with Me for all eternity .... You shall enter into My kingdom and work and create in unison with Me for your own happiness .... You shall work according to My will and yet of your own accord, not being determined by My will, only then will you be My children, only then will you be united with Me forever. But this heartfelt bond is only the result of overcoming the abyss .... which is the task every ‘living creation’ has to accomplish which wants to shape itself into a ‘child’ .... The path out of the abyss makes great demands on the creature, yet these demands are always attainable because My love constantly draws it upwards and because My love supports every living creation where its strength is not sufficient .... Hence, it is only expected that the living creation’s will desires its ascent from the abyss, then it will never lack the strength to reach the goal, because the being’s will in the past also caused the opposite .... its fall into the abyss and separation from Me .... However, everything that strives away from Me is and will remain weak since it rejects My strength of love and only when it is willing to accept it again, will it also have the strength to travel the path back to Me, into the Father’s house .... The just punishment for the voluntary apostasy from Me would be eternal damnation, thus eternal separation from Me which signifies extreme agony for a created free being full of light and strength .... Yet My greater than great love for My living creations does not allow for this, consequently, an opportunity was created for ‘Love’ to regain the renegade spirits without evading ‘justice’ .... Eternal Love Itself redeemed the guilt .... I came to earth and atoned for the immense guilt so that the return of the once fallen spirits became possible again, yet it depends on the will of the living creation .... And in order that this will should turn to Me again, in order that I would be aspired to as the highest goal by the beings in the abyss, I influenced these beings through My spirit .... i.e. the love, which is My fundamental nature, whose strength brought everything into existence, also looked for a way to enter the hearts of My living creations which had already started on the path of return to Me within the framework of My eternal order but which nevertheless must one day voluntarily profess as to whether they want to continue on the path to Me or return to the abyss again ....

At this stage of free will, as a human being, My love tries to influence him again by providing him with a tiny spark of My spirit of love to accompany him, which shall influence him if the person allows for it. The human being is able to remain in constant contact with Me by means of this tiny spiritual spark but he is not compelled to establish this connection .... Nevertheless, the spirit within the person is an immensely helpful factor which offers the guarantee that a person will find unity with Me .... providing his will no longer offers open resistance to Me .... When I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation as Jesus, the human being .... when I took the immense guilt of sin upon Myself and atoned for it, it cleared the path from the abyss to higher spheres for the first time .... But then I also conveyed to people who were willing to take this path the strength they had hitherto lacked .... I Myself made contact with them and no longer left them without help .... I Myself associated with them through the spiritual spark yet leaving it up to each individual as to whether he wanted the connection with Me .... for I do not impose Myself and My spiritual strength on any living being but I make it available to them so that everyone can be permeated by My spirit and its strength, providing he wants it .... My spirit is My part .... It is the strength of love which, in the very beginning, flowed through all My living creations, but their rejection resulted in their fall into the abyss. All people can receive My strength of love again without restriction once they have liberated themselves from their past guilt of sin by acknowledging Jesus Christ as Redeemer and by appealing to Him for forgiveness of their guilt .... Only then will they be able to receive the divine strength of love from Me, then My spirit will be able to take effect in them, then I can ‘pour out My spirit’, and the connection with Me will have been established to the extent that a relapse into the abyss will no longer be possible, that the path of ascent with the final goal of total unity with My will have been effortlessly travelled and My living creation returns to Me as My ‘child’ into its Father’s house. Without My help this would be impossible, precisely because the creature had forfeited all strength .... However, My love grants it this strength again, My love unites itself again with the living creation if it is willing to return to Me .... My love sends My spirit to all My living creations in order to guide and instruct you, in order to show you the right path to Me ....

Don’t let yourselves be deceived by the apparent peacefulness around you, by the fact that global affairs seem to calm down, and don’t let this make you become half-hearted in your spiritual striving .... Don’t think that My intervention will be delayed, that there will still be a long postponement of that which I always and forever announced to you .... It is the calm before the storm, it is the time in which all people are still able to take stock of themselves, in which they should also withdraw into solitude and not solely pay homage to the pleasures of the world and thoughtlessly live from day to day .... It is still a time of grace which I grant to all people so that they won’t be able to say that they, in their constant worry and physical anxiety, have had no opportunity to take care of their spiritual wellbeing .... Yet My faithful followers should not let themselves be deceived and consider the time of peace as the calm before the storm .... For it will only be of short duration, and suddenly everything will change, and then it will be too late for many people because they didn’t make use of the short period of grace in order to gather strength for the impending time .... My Own, however, shall prepare themselves for the battle will be severe, which will be waged for the sake of My name. And it will also require much strength in order to do justice to all the other demands .... For this you should also gather strength, which you will only be able to do by keeping in continuous contact with the spiritual kingdom, by constantly working at improving your soul, by turning your thoughts away from the world and by penetrating the spiritual spheres ever more, whose inhabitants are always at your service on My instructions ....

Every spiritually directed thought will be blessed, and just like the earthly world is incessantly active by pursuing earthly interests, so will the spiritual world work and help to build up the kingdom which is not of this world .... It will no be so evident to you humans but My Own will be full of strength as soon as their thoughts apply to Me and their spiritual activity .... This is why My Own will also be noticeably guided, so that they will not tire in their striving, so that they will not interrupt their contact with Me, so that the world will not hold them captive when they are as risk of getting weak .... for My adversary is exceedingly diligently at work because he believes that the time is in his favour .... And so it is, for people greatly hunger for the world .... and My adversary will satisfy this in an obvious way .... He will give to people whatever he has to offer and they don’t realise how dangerous an earthly life of luxury and earthly pleasures are for their salvation of soul .... However, the forces of light are just as diligently active, it is just that they don’t find access with many people where My adversary has already found his way in. But My Own will feel the increased working of the world of light and be happy when the time comes that I will need them .... And then I will make sure that the flock of My Own will not become smaller, I will always be present with them so that their love and loyalty for Me will constantly grow, so that they will be willing to make sacrifices and do whatever it takes to be of service to Me and to live in accordance with My will .... so that they will fearlessly take up the battle when it matters to prevail over the enemy when the time has come ....

But My methods and their effectiveness are unknown to you, and you are easily inclined to believe that I Am cruel .... Yet believe in My love and believe that My action is only ever motivated by love, that with every event I only ever intend your beatitude .... Only I know the outcome of such events, only I know which path you would have followed without My strokes of fate .... and only I know when such a path will lead you astray. And what I then allow to happen to prevent it is only ever based on My love and will have beneficial results even if this seems incomprehensible to you humans.

Thus, the last days before the end urgently require painful interventions on My part, and they will repeat themselves many a time, My hand will increasingly have to solve problems and there will be much suffering and mourning, but souls will also be rescued, people will be evidently directed to the One Who holds everyone’s fate in His hands .... even though they will then only fear Him since they will be unable to love Him .... but they will acknowledge Him, they will believe in a God and Controller of heaven and earth .... And this belief can show them the way forward if they are of good will .... My love belongs to the smallest creature and I alone safeguard all life so that one day it will enter the stage of free will and be able to fulfil its last task on earth .... But how much more will I look after those who have already reached this stage so that they do not regress and will not have walked their earthly path in vain ....

But I also recognise the obstacles on every person’s earthly path. And I know whether a human being will rise above this hurdle or whether he is in danger of failing .... And therefore I pursue him with My care and pull him back or continue to guide him onto another path .... But I will never want his downfall .... Besides, you should know that I Am always a considerate Father .... and that My Fatherly care is truly more valuable for the earthly human being than any person’s care for his fellow human being ....

You should always hold on to this when you doubtfully question yourselves as to how I can allow children to become orphans, families to be deprived of their provider, the most precious possession to be taken away from people .... I can give comfort to everyone, I can take all worries from them, and I Am a Father to all who are lonely and abandoned .... yet they have to find their way to Me .... And this is what I intend, that they establish a relationship with Me in utmost adversity .... For of what use are words which confess faith in Me if they are not turned into action, if people don’t come to Me when earthly suffering threatens to depress them .... The living faith will be a true support for people .... but a dead faith will awaken one doubt after another about God’s love and omnipotence .... And every human being is confronted by hours of intense hardship .... Then they shall take their path to Me and I will truly help them in their distress ....

I Am the only One who can take but also give. And if you humans know this then you should also believe that I can heal the wounds I have inflicted on you for the sake of your beatitude .... believe firmly and without doubt that not everything you regard as good and useful will always lead to beatitude .... My ways are often different but they will certainly lead to the goal. Always come to Me in this belief, and you may then experience My love because you believe in Me ....

Amen

True prayer and church service ....

A child’s trusting prayer will rise to heaven and be heard by Me .... and his prayer will be answered .... And yet so few people take advantage of this privilege because they have become accustomed to external formalities and no longer experience the strength of prayer in spirit and in truth .... Only great hardship can persuade them to voice words from their hearts which will reach My ear, because great hardship will let them turn to Me for help .... And I will bless them when they then let go of all superficial formalities and speak to Me like a child speaks to its father .... However, I will not take notice of thoughtless prayers, and yet they are so very frequently spoken .... just as I will not take notice of what a devout attitude should express but which lacks all deeper thought ....

Therefore I asked you to call upon Me in spirit and in truth .... because all pretence and external formality is abominable to Me. You humans might well be able to deceive each other but you will never be able to deceive Me .... And you believe that you pay homage to Me with empty displays of splendour, with ceremonial acts, with a superficial service. But I take no notice of it, whereas a simple, devout prayer to Me will sound lovely and is pleasing to Me. And this kind of prayer can be sent to Me anywhere and at anytime, it will always be received and heard by Me. It is so easy to honour Me when you build an altar in your heart on which you bring your love to Me .... when you enter into a silent but heartfelt dialogue with Me, when you commend yourselves to Me, ask for My mercy and always long for My presence .... Then you will be praying ‘in spirit and in truth ....’ Then I will also be with you, because I will always be with My child when it sends its loving thoughts to the Father .... However, I abhor all external formality which is all too easily just a disguise for an unfriendly, indifferent attitude, that will lead a person into ruin.

Besides, you are misjudging your God and Father if you believe that I .... like you humans .... would want to be honoured with external splendour and glamour .... All splendour and glory are at My disposal and I want to give it all to you if only you offer Me your love in return. For I Am only asking for your love which, however, you cannot show Me with external formalities, instead I want to discover it in the human being’s heart .... which is selflessly turned towards his neighbour and therefore also proves your love for Me. A loving heart is the greatest honour for Me, a loving heart only speaks words in spirit and in truth, and I will look upon a loving heart as My child which has all My love too .... but then it may also ask Me for everything and never get disappointed due to its faith in Me, and I will not allow its faith to be destroyed ....

Amen

Correct direction of will - total freedom ....

The path you travelled until now was a path of captivity, when you had to do what My will demanded of you .... Such a path would never have provided you with happiness, because you can never be happy without freedom and strength and must be of service against your will .... when you live in a certain bondage even though the lord, who was to blame for this bondage of yours, had no control over you. You were held in bondage and you still are, even though as human beings you received free will again, thus you can do as you please and decide for yourselves. However, now this lord of yours has a certain amount of control over you again, which had previously been taken away from him .... You ought to know that you should use this apparent state of freedom in order to liberate yourselves totally, in order to completely free yourselves from your ruler’s control. And this liberation has to be endeavoured and accomplished by you yourselves, thus you must use your will such that you only ever do what helps you to attain permanent freedom .... My adversary, however, still being your master, uses his power by influencing your will, by presenting all that as worth striving for which is, in fact, not suitable to release you, it will only ever chain you more firmly to the one from whom you should release yourselves. After the previous infinitely long path this time of free will signifies an immeasurable grace, and if you avail yourselves of this grace the state of slavery will end for good, the apparent freedom in your earthly life will become an actual permanent condition, in which you no longer need to fear being harassed or influenced by My adversary, thus you will be and remain truly free for all eternity ....

Nevertheless, you can also succumb to his influence during the time you were given for testing your will .... and can strengthen the chains instead of loosen them .... And you don’t realise what you throw away by using your will wrongly, by yielding to and fulfilling My adversary’s will .... A life of inconceivable bliss lies ahead of you which you voluntarily relinquish purely to spend your short lifetime on earth in pleasure which is only felt by the body. You are not aware of this but neither do you believe it when the knowledge of it is conveyed to you .... But during this short lifespan on Earth I must respect your freedom of will .... I will neither deny My adversary the right to influence you nor prevent you from using your will wrongly .... For it depends entirely on you as to whether I or My adversary will win you over, you yourselves must decide your fate in eternity, you yourselves bear the responsibility for your earthly life, but time and again you will be admonished and cautioned, you will be taught and informed about your task during this short time .... everything will be done in order to make you take the right decision, your will, however, remains free, and if you therefore strive towards the abyss again you will indeed attain it .... just as you will infallibly reach higher spheres if your will chooses thus. Your lifetime on earth is only short, but the consequences of your life on earth extend for an infinitely long time or even for the whole of eternity. For as long as you are still not free you are also wretched and far from your original state .... And this can be changed by you; you can become again what you were in the beginning and therefore also be immensely happy .... Don’t let this time of grace pass you by unsuccessfully, make use of your granted freedom, so that you will release yourselves from the last fetter, so that your soul will be free and unburdened and able to lift itself up into the kingdom of light, into your true home, so that it can return to Me, its Father of eternity, and remain with Him forever ....

Amen
