The ‘working of the spirit’ in the human being ....

The most profound mysteries can be penetrated by you if you allow the working of My spirit within you .... You will not understand this for as long as you still think in an earthly-material way, for as long as your mind is only occupied with the world and you do not try to find contact with the spiritual kingdom .... You will not understand the ‘working of My spirit’ as long as you have not made contact with Me, your God and Father, because then you will not be living in love as yet, which is the prerequisite for a bond with Me and thus also for the dormant spiritual spark with the eternal Father-Spirit .... Without love you cannot muster the understanding for the working of My spirit and neither will you ever strive for it .... However, once you kindle love in yourselves, the spirit in you will come alive .... You thereby establish the bond with the Father-Spirit of eternity, Who is love Itself, and He will influence you through the spiritual spark in you .... By allowing the ‘working of My spirit’ in you, you will truly attain great spiritual knowledge, knowledge will be made accessible to you which people cannot gain in any other way, for you may take a glimpse into spiritual spheres where secrets will be revealed to you which, however, can only ever be imparted to you by the spirit within you. However, prior to that you will always have to prepare yourselves into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit, which can only be accomplished through love. Then My spirit will be able to flow into you and the results will be truly glorious, they will be and remain a person’s gain for all eternity. And so truth, too, can and will be conveyed to you humans in this way, hence it is possible for you to be instructed by ‘God Himself’ in all truthfulness if you allow My spirit to express itself, for this is entirely up to your own free will, no-one will be forced into it.

But if you allow it, by voluntarily shaping yourselves through a life of love into a receiving vessel for My spirit, then you will soon become enlightened, you will soon experience brightest realisation, and knowledge will be revealed to you which will plainly reveal all spiritual correlations to you .... Then the darkness of night will truly have been penetrated and the spiritual sun will shine into your heart, you will never walk in darkness again for you will have received a true light from Me which you may radiate into the night again. Therefore, don’t be surprised where a person’s wisdom comes from while another one does not possess it as yet .... Don’t question why it is still so dark in people’s hearts, for you now know the answer: You must seek the light yourselves, you must ignite the spark in yourselves and then there will be light because you desire light .... You humans should believe that I Am in contact with you, that I do not want you to live in eternal darkness. Yet you yourselves should want to escape the darkness too and take measures to kindle a light in you .... you should be aware of the fact that I placed a tiny spark in you but that it depends on your free will whether you want to fan this spark into a flame .... Then this flame will surge towards Me and unite itself with the fire of the Eternal Love .... with the result that My spirit will pour itself into such a prepared vessel and dispel the darkness in which the soul lingered until it accepted Me, until its love urged it towards Me and the darkness was subsequently penetrated .... Then I will be able to work in the human being, and where I Am at work through My spirit there is light, realisation and bliss ....

Amen

Process of development on earth ....

When earth came into existence, countless spiritual substances were able to embody themselves in its works of creation and gradually ascended during their evolutionary process, because the creations corresponded to the spiritual substances’ inherent resistance, which was still unbroken but of different intensity. The works of creation were more or less hard matter, because even earth itself gradually evolved into a work of creation which was to shelter people one day .... the spiritual essence which had already covered the process of development to the point when all substances of a fallen original spirit had gathered once again and regained their self-awareness and free will ....

But an infinitely long time had passed before the spiritual substance could reach this stage because earth needed this time in order to produce all the creations required by the spirit for its higher development. And the human being should know that he has already spent infinite periods of time on this earth, that the stage of human being is the conclusion of an evolutionary process which his will can now bring to an end. He should also know that one day this infinite path will be shown to him in retrospect, but that this memory has to be removed from him as a human being, since his task as a human being concerns his voluntary return to God. However, when he contemplates the countless wonders of divine creations surrounding him he should seriously ask himself what purpose they have to fulfil, and then he will receive clarification in his heart .... He will feel it, if the knowledge is not yet made accessible to him. And he should try to grasp the Creator’s fundamental nature, i.e. request clarification about his relationship to Him. And this, too, will be given to him, since the goal of earthly life rests in the person re-establishing his relationship with God, which he once voluntarily had severed. For that was the ‘fall of the spirits’, they had separated from God of their own free will .... And thus .... during the last stage of their return to God .... they have to voluntarily restore their relationship with Him again and the purpose of their earthly progress will be fulfilled.

The fact that creation has largely contributed in returning the fallen being again can only be understood by you humans when you have achieved this return, because you would never have been able to reach the ascent if the divine Creator had not taken you away from His adversary’s power who had caused your fall into the abyss .... if He had not removed you from his influence during the infinitely long time when you were integrated in the works of creation as tiniest particles of soul. His adversary had no control over you during this time, nevertheless you still belonged to him because you once followed him of your own accord into the abyss. But since you were completely without strength and light as a result of your apostasy from God, your path of return to God would have been impossible for you. For this reason God Himself provided you with this path of return through His works of creation which, in supreme wisdom and infinite love, were shaped to give the spiritual substance the opportunity of service in some form or other and thus, through service, reach ever higher levels of maturity. The spiritual particles which once belonged to an original spirit gathered again and, having achieved a certain level of maturity, commenced their last transformation .... For a brief period of time they were allowed to live on earth as a human being and had to be of service again .... but of their own free will and with love .... The purpose of earthly life for every soul embodied in a human being is to liberate itself from every cover by way of loving service, to return to the spiritual kingdom again, when its earthly life has ended, as the free spiritual being it had been in the beginning.

However, it cannot achieve this spiritualisation without help because it is burdened by the original sin which repeatedly pushes it down again .... i.e. during its earthly life God’s adversary has the right to exercise his influence again, since the spirits once followed him voluntarily. And the fallen original spirit .... the human being .... would succumb to his influence once more were it not for the offer of guaranteed help: redemption through Jesus Christ ....in Whom God embodied Himself to redeem the guilt of sin for all fallen spirits through His sacrificial death on the cross .... This help by Jesus Christ, the complete redemption and forgiveness of his sin, is assured to him providing he wants it himself, providing he acknowledges Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and he acknowledges Jesus as God Himself, Whom the original spirit once denied acknowledgment ....

And thus you humans are given a brief explanation concerning the cause and significance of the act of Salvation. You have to know this in order to fulfil the purpose of your earthly life, in order to understand the divine plan of Salvation too, which only ever aims to guide the spirit essence back to God and which will be carried out with love and wisdom, since He has every power at His command to one day achieve the goal He had set Himself when He created all spiritual beings ....

Amen

Matter is consolidated spiritual strength ....

Consider yourselves My students and accept My instructions: The spiritual as well as the earthly-material world are guided and held by My will. If My will did not hold them they would truly dissolve into nothing, for the thoughts I externalised as My creations were consolidated through My will so that they could continue as something ‘created’. And this consolidated will manifested itself in the most varied creations or: Every work of creation was strength consolidated through My will which I emanated because it gave Me pleasure to express this strength in forms determined by My love and wisdom .... The act of creation was only an expression of My greater than great love, unsurpassed wisdom and infinite might .... The thoughts I externalised took on forms through My will, thus all works of creation were thoughts consolidated by My will .... And when it was My will these shaped thoughts became visible .... The first works of creation .... the beings I externalised .... were able to see each other and all the spiritual creations I brought forth to give them happiness. They found themselves in the midst of inconceivable splendours which, however, cannot be described to you in detail since they were spiritual creations which demonstrated My might and glory to the created beings and gave them great pleasure .... And once something had come into existence it could never perish again. However, it was possible for the beings to lose the ability of seeing these works. Nevertheless, they continued to exist, for they were spiritual creations which are and will remain forever ....

Yet earthly matter, too, is strength consolidated through My will, but this only lasts until My will withdraws and the matter dissolves, i.e., the spiritual strength becomes invisible again as before, and My will reshapes it yet again as it best serves its purpose, which can happen many times as conceived by My wisdom and determined by My love. As an earthly-material form is dissolved the spiritual strength can certainly escape from it but it cannot cease to exist, whereas the matter as such will vanish as soon as it is no longer held firm by My will. And My will shall, time and again, withdraw from it because the task it has to fulfil is limited. It must be transient because, time and again, it has to release the spiritual substances which are to mature within matter according to the eternal plan. However, occasionally the human being also takes part in the dissolution of material creations, who can act in accordance with God’s will but also in opposition to it, yet this free expression of will is permitted by God although the human being will have to justify his motives which prompted him to dissolve material works of creation .... For even these humanly accomplished dissolutions of matter can be good, that is, ‘willed by God’ .... They may, however, have been based on evil motives which do not comply with My will and are considered an offence against divine order. You must know this, too, in order to understand that no matter could exist were it not held together by My will, but that I do not hinder man’s free will if it opposes Mine by trying to destroy matter .... Then he can certainly intervene in My work of creation but only to a limited extent, and even this wrong will was a determining factor for My plan of Salvation, or: I knew of it from the start and therefore based My plan of Salvation on this will. Material creations are transient and sometimes, therefore, incite the human being himself to intervene destructively and, depending on his reasons, with good or bad results, for My wisdom recognises the blessing which a dissolution of matter can entail, whereas the human being’s will can reverse the effect of his actions to his own detriment or that of the spiritual substances still bound in matter; consequently, the human being will also have to justify himself if he has sinned against the eternal law of order. For I Myself bind and release .... and this in accordance with eternal law, in love and wisdom, for all power is at My disposal to do whatever My will determines ....

Amen

Spiritual pride and its danger ....

Spiritual pride is the greatest evil for it requires the greatest strength to overcome it. And since the spiritually proud human being still completely belongs to the adversary he will never appeal to God for a gift of strength and will remain enchained until his heart has changed to become humble .... which generally requires more than one life on earth, hence necessitates a new banishment in matter. Spiritual pride is the inherited evil from the one who plunged into the abyss because of his arrogance. He will not even renounce his spiritual pride for eternities, therefore he will only take the path to the Father when he deems himself so small and low and weak that he will appeal for strength, which will then certainly be granted to him. And the same applies to his follower who remains in spiritual arrogance, who refuses to bow down to God’s will, who therefore will not acknowledge a ‘God’ above himself either, who, as a human being, is so utterly convinced of his ego’s value that he does not accept any spiritual instructions, that he does not think he needs the help that a higher Power can provide for him. Total unbelief and spiritual pride will always walk hand in hand, and because the human being does not want to acknowledge any God he will never be able to receive the flow of strength which enables him to free himself from this inherited evil, and his fellow human being will have no influence on him because he deems himself above everything that requires ‘faith’ and extends into spiritual spheres.

Addressing such people and imparting God’s Word to them is rarely successful because they are constantly under the influence of God’s adversary, who also wants to keep his followers away from God so as not to lessen his might and strength he assumes to possess in his adherents. Severe earthly and physical adversity must strike a spiritually arrogant person so that he takes notice of the feeling of weakness which might change his mind; he must realise that he is nothing and incapable of changing anything by virtue of his human nature, and this feeling of imperfection must persuade him to think. Then he will gradually relinquish his arrogance .... on account of which it is an incredibly significant grace if a person is placed into such circumstances where he becomes aware of his weakness and imperfection and is able to draw his conclusions from it. However, he retains his free will at all times, hence the adversary, too, will always influence him and thus he will just as well be able to dispel the thoughts which surface in him. But the world of light will also struggle for his soul in order to save him from the fate of renewed banishment .... and even if they merely succeed in persuading the human being to recognise his utter inferiority before his death and to acknowledge a Power above him before he dies .... Then he can still be helped to progress in the beyond and he will not need to repeat the path through the whole creation .... Then he will have succeeded in liberating himself from the adversary’s domination, although the soul will have a hard struggle in the kingdom of the beyond in order to reach the light, which often shone on him on earth but was not accepted. However, God takes mercy upon every soul and will not abandon it .... But the human being has free will and this alone determines the soul’s fate when it departs from its mortal body ....

Selfless vineyard work ....

And you were given the task to spread My Word which is conveyed to you from above by Me .... I truly want to smooth the way for you, I want to help you take My Word to wherever people hunger and thirst for it. For I know whose hearts will not reject My Word when it is offered to them. And thus you only ever do the work which you are capable of doing and should know that I Myself will arrange everything else that serves the distribution of My Word. For this much is certain, I do not convey My Word to earth without purpose, even if it occasionally seems to you that the spiritual information does not fulfil any real purpose ....

You should only patiently and with perseverance cooperate and carry out the work which has to be done by people, because I cannot affect all people directly and therefore need you to serve Me as mediators; for not all people would allow Me to have a direct effect on them, and yet they, too, shall receive My Word in order to enable their souls’ maturity. And time and again opportunities will arise when My remarkable work with you can be mentioned; there will be receptive hearts who recognise that it is an extraordinary gift of grace and gratefully offer to assist in My vineyard, and whose willingness to help is gladly accepted by Me. For only love will achieve spiritual success. Therefore don’t believe that you can attain such where this love is missing. Don’t believe that I will give My blessing for an undertaking that clearly betrays the spirit of worldly interests ....

My Word shall speak to the heart, and I can truly find other ways than the way people in the midst of the world want to take .... For they are not interested in My Word, they are still worldly minded, and therefore they will not contribute towards the spreading of My Word which shall have a liberating effect from the world .... The human hearts which shall accept My Word must have conquered the world already, just as My fellow workers on earth must have overcome the world in order to be able to work for the benefit of their fellow human beings. Thus worldly minded people cannot be accepted as labourers in My vineyard, for they will never work in accordance with My will but pursue their own interests, since they are driven to do so by the lord of the world, to whom they still belong. But I have enough means and ways to achieve My objective even without such ‘assistants’. Love always has to be part of it if success is to be achieved, and love will also recognise My Word as an invaluable gift of grace and therefore also support it.

And thus you will also recognise your true fellow workers who gladly offer their help, and you will not hesitate to accept their help; and you will also know that My blessing only rests on your work when all of you carry it out with love and don’t expect any worldly benefits from it .... For as you receive it you shall also pass it on; as My love has an effect on you, your love, too, should have an effect on your fellow human being. And this happens when My Word is unselfishly distributed, which is conveyed to you from above and, as the most valuable gift of grace, shall impart help and strength to people in their spiritual adversity during the last days, so that they will endure until the end ....

Amen

Low spiritual level ....

A substantial spiritual decline is noticeable amongst humanity. And this will manifest itself ever more distinctly the closer it gets to the end. For people consider their God and Creator increasingly less, the concept of faith is becoming ever more unreal to them, they are reflecting ever less often about the meaning and purpose of their earthly life and are therefore also increasingly less willing to acknowledge a spiritual kingdom, because they only live for this earthly kingdom and content themselves with what the world has to offer. Hence, they live on earth completely without purpose; they don’t use this last short time of their existence on this earth for their spiritual development and so they make the whole path of preliminary development pointless too, because they will descend into the deepest abyss again when the end of this earth has come, because even in the kingdom of the beyond they would hardly achieve progress since they are and will remain thoroughly unenlightened. And since the majority of people are in this spiritual state, no change is to be expected on this earth and God will have to implement a change so that the path of higher development can be continued by the spiritual substances which are still bound in the works of creation on earth, which have not reached the stage of human beings yet. For their further development will also be at risk once the human race has become totally unspiritual and, in its ignorance, will often even take the opportunity to progress away from these spirits. Consequently, this state amongst humanity provides the reason for a total spiritual and earthly change, which you humans are facing. Were you to live according to lawful order, then spiritual progress would be guaranteed for all spiritual beings, which, partly constrained, partly in freedom, live on earth. But then there would not be such a low spiritual level that people would walk about completely without faith and do nothing at all for their soul which, in the state of a human being, should mature fully in order to enter the spiritual kingdom as a free being in light and strength ....

People have handed themselves over to God’s adversary, they are enslaved and only comply with his will, and that means that they exist entirely without love, that they are spiritually unenlightened and don’t use their earthly life to spiritualise their soul. And therefore this state has to be brought to an end, order has to be restored once more so that the earth will become a school for the spiritual being again which, embodied as a human being, goes through the last stage of its development. And the adversary’s activity will have to be brought to an end by God .... This is therefore the reason why you humans are approaching the end of this earth, and it will be pointed out to you time after time so that you will still change after all and become aware of your actual purpose of life. Without God you will go astray and will have to languish for an endless length of time once again at this distance from God, which only signifies profound wretchedness for the spiritual being which once originated from God .... You ought to still look for God as long as you have the opportunity on earth, and He will certainly allow Himself to be found by you. And you need only once seriously dwell on yourselves; you only need the will not to have lived your earthly life in vain .... And thoughts will surely arise in you which will provide you with a small light. Yet you cannot attain beatitude against your will, against your will you cannot become enlightened .... And if your hearts are hardened then you cannot be spared the renewed banishment, which is the fate of all of those who do not believe in a God and Creator, to Whom they owe their earthly life and to Whom all power is given in Heaven and on Earth .... Then they will approach their downfall with certainty, for the time will quickly come to an end, the earth will soon be shaped anew so that it will fulfil its purpose again: to help the spiritual beings attain full maturity, as is their destiny ....

Amen

Love one another ....

One law applies to all of you, that you shall love one another and thereby also prove your common bond with Me. And even if you are bothered by the thought that you have no inner bond with your fellow human being whom you should love, you shall nevertheless remember his soul which is still subject to the constraint of the body, and you shall know that the soul belongs to Me even if its will is still opposing Me. For you are all My children and therefore shall consider your fellow human being as your brother and strive towards the Father together. Love shall unite you, then you will demonstrate that you are children of the same Father. And this love shall stop you from every suspicion or judgment of your neighbour, love shall help you bear his every weakness and fault; you should only ever bear in mind that his soul can still have a low degree of maturity and the human being therefore behaves as he does, even if you dislike it. You should not pass harsh judgments for then you will also motivate Me to judge you in the same way, for not one of you is without fault, not one of you has as yet reached a degree of maturity which excludes imperfections and weaknesses, and yet I endure you with greater than great love and patience and don’t pass harsh judgments upon you. And therefore I gave you the commandment: love your neighbour as yourselves .... If you fulfil this commandment of neighbourly love then you will spread a merciful veil across his faults and weaknesses, and you will only ever try to help him and only ever awaken mutual love in him if you let him feel your love.

With these Word I address all those of you who are still inclined to expose your neighbour’s faults, for thereby you demonstrate your own lack of love which subsequently gives you no right to judge your neighbour. And by doing so you become sinful yourselves, for you contravene the commandment of love .... Therefore, if you want to be My children you must also make an effort to fulfil the Father’s will, which only ever wants you to love one other or else you belong to My adversary, who is devoid of all love and always tries to influence you into opposing the law of love. And do you love your brother if you are angry with him? If you emphasise his flaws and weaknesses, if you judge him harshly? You must learn to endure his weakness and help him .... Then you will carry out My will, and then your conduct will also result in blessings, you will gain him as your friend, he will take your example to heart and will want to emulate you, and his inner being will be full of love for you as well, for love awakens love in response, and then you will also prove that you are the children of the same Father, Whose nature is pure love. And then My love will embrace you ever more closely and your hearts will become increasingly more willing to love, so that they will pass this love on to the next person and then you will indeed be My true children, as it is My will ....

Light of realisation through God’s address ....

Understand that you are being enlightened if I educate you Myself. You are on the path of return to Me if you yourselves offer Me the opportunity to speak to you Myself .... be it directly or through My messengers, who bring My Word to you. Then the darkness will recede from you, knowledge will be revealed to you, you will gain realisation of yourselves again, of your origin, your apostasy and your goal .... You will no longer be as spiritually blind as you became through your apostasy from Me. You had separated yourselves from Me, the Eternal Light, and therefore had to be without light .... At first, all awareness was taken from you and you existed in profound darkness, bound by My will in earthly creations, yet only in order to remove you from the adversary’s influence .... However, you possessed no light .... And even in the stage of a human being you are still spiritually unenlightened until you give Me the opportunity to illuminate you again with My light .... And that happens when you allow Me Myself to speak to you. Then the state of darkness will gradually change into a state of brightest realisation again, and then you can consider yourselves fortunate, because it is the sign that you are on the path of return into your Father’s house, that your goal is not far away anymore and that you will surely reach it too .... The human being on earth does not experience this lack of light because he is satisfied with many different deceptive lights, but they have no radiance and cannot enlighten a person’s inner being .... But the time on earth is given to him so that he can dispel the darkness .... so that he can strive towards the light and defeat the darkness of spirit .... and thereby gain realisation. And I Am always willing to kindle a light in you, providing you want to attain the light of realisation. And one such light is My direct address, which you can hear when you desire to become enlightened. But then you will also start to live .... to live a spiritual life which then will never ever end again and which will make you incredibly happy and change you into the being again that you were in the beginning. For as soon as you possess a light you will also take the right path, and this leads upwards, back into your Father’s house .... Darkness is the worst state for a spiritual being, because it no longer recognises itself nor Me as its Father and therefore won’t strive towards Me either and thus can remain in darkness for an infinitely long time .... But time and again I try to send a ray of light into the human heart which ignites and enlightens the heart from within; that is, I time and again guide a person’s thoughts such that he will look for his God and desires light, that he would like to know more about Me and his own relationship with Me .... And then I will indeed kindle a light in him and make the right knowledge accessible to him which will please him and make him desire more information. And once the spiritual darkness is penetrated he will also step out of the night into the bright light of morning, and the sun of the spirit will shine on him and illuminate his path .... And he will find Me without fail and want to join Me again, he will irrevocably unite with Me and in unity with Me once again be blissfully happy in light and strength and freedom as he was in the beginning ....

The right prayer and its fulfilment ....

The power of prayer is immense as long as you also firmly believe in My love and My might, for you are sure to achieve much if you faithfully entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for help. Only your heartfelt bond with Me is important to Me so that you are so close when you speak to Me that I must also hear you .... For I don’t merely want your lips to voice words without having entered into heartfelt contact with Me. Prayer is the bridge you should use frequently, even if you only ask Me to give you the strength for your daily course of pilgrimage .... But I will not deny Myself to you, I will truly fill you with strength so that the bond with Me, which is the purpose and goal of your earthly existence, will become ever deeper. Then your faith will become consistently stronger because your heartfelt bond with Me is the guarantee that I will not refuse you anything and because your faith will become ever more alive in you, for then you will feel Me so close to you that you will experience your God and Father, you will realise His presence and be able to work with His strength .... Your faith can achieve anything, in other words: you know that every prayer in this living faith will also be granted. Through your heartfelt bond with Me you surrender your will to Mine, and whatever you ask for will also always be My will and therefore I can grant you every request. And you should make use of this power of prayer and always know that I love you and want to give you joy. You should not let doubts in My love and power arise in you, for it is limitless .... .

And therefore every individual person’s life could be an easy one, everyone could spend his earthly life without worry, because nothing is impossible for Me and because My love wants to give you whatever you desire. But once you are closely united with Me you will no longer want anything that might contradict My will, for you may also ask Me to grant you earthly wishes, given that you still live in the midst of the world and have to do justice to its demands and because I do not begrudge you earthly joys if they do not interfere with your spiritual striving. And I can certainly judge this best, and therefore I say to you: By all means step onto this bridge and make use of the power of prayer .... For I want to win all your love and therefore want to make you happy, so that you will keep taking the path to Me, so that you will let Me be present with you in your prayer and thereby the child will unite with its Father and matures in its soul. For I only speak of the right kind of prayer .... of the prayer in spirit and in truth, which always demonstrates the child’s correct relationship with its Father. And I said to you ‘Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ....’ I promised to grant your prayers and yet only ever meant the right kind of prayer from a child to its Father. And a true child will also trust its Father and will therefore never be disappointed ....

The right concept of God ....

And it will be revealed to you through My spirit that there is only one God and that this God manifested Himself in Jesus Christ, because He is a Spirit. It was not possible for Me to become visible to My created beings as a limited Being, but in Jesus Christ I became a ‘visible’ God for all My living creations, and therefore you cannot speak of Jesus Christ and the Father, for I Am one with Him, so when you speak of Jesus Christ you are speaking of Me, your God and Creator, your Father of eternity .... For the infant Jesus sheltered My spirit within Himself, and after His birth I was already remarkably active in Him in order to show the people in His neighbourhood that My spirit dwelt within the infant. The man Jesus exhaled his last breath on the cross .... Jesus body, however, was spiritualised and He rose from the dead .... For all His substances had merged with Me, My spirit had permeated body and soul and nothing human remained in Him .... What arose from the dead on the third day was I Myself, the Father-Spirit of eternity, the God Whom the beings desired to behold and Who had now manifested Himself in the outward appearance of Jesus Christ ....

Jesus Christ is ‘God’, for I Am a Spirit and thus became visible to all My beings in the shape of Jesus Christ, and you cannot visualise Me in any other way than the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... And if you want to call upon Me, if you want to make contact with Me, you have to call upon Jesus Christ, you have to talk to Him, you have to acknowledge Him as your Father of eternity, and then you will also have the right concept of God .... which, however, can never be right if you pray separately to Me as ‘God’ and to Jesus Christ as ‘Son of God’ .... The soul which dwelt in the man Jesus was My ‘Son’ .... a supremely perfect being created by Me which remained with Me when the great apostasy of the spirits took place ....

And this ‘Son of God’ made it possible for Me to embody Myself in a human shell .... so that the complete merger of the eternal Father-Spirit with Jesus Christ could take place, but then there no longer existed two separate beings but only one God, for the ‘divine Spirit’, My fundamental nature, utterly permeated the human shell and likewise spiritualised it .... Everything was ‘divine Spirit’ it was the Spirit which permeates all of infinity and merely manifested Itself in a form visible to people, so that they were able to develop a concept of Me, so that they were able to pray to a Being in order to unite with this Being .... For the original sin of the spirits’ apostasy consisted of their voluntary ‘separation’ from Me because they were unable to behold Me. And thus I provided for them the possibility of willingly joining with Me again by making Myself visible to them in Jesus Christ. But you must never separate ‘Jesus Christ’ and ‘Myself’ .... For He and I are one; and whoever calls upon Him also calls upon Me .... whoever sees Him sees Me, Who is and was eternal and shall remain so in all eternity ....

Prerequisite for the ‘outpouring of the spirit’ ....

The outpouring of the spirit requires certain conditions to be fulfilled, because My spirit can only pour into an open receptacle which has been prepared such that My spirit will be able to flow into it. This preparation, in turn, requires psychological work which the person must have carried out on himself, with other words: The human being must have prepared an abode for Me, because My presence is absolutely necessary in order to be able to express Myself through My spirit. Although the spiritual spark rests dormant in every person it must first be awakened to life, the relationship with the eternal Father-Spirit must be established first, before it can express itself. And this bond will be established, the spiritual spark will come alive, when the human being lives a life of love, when he, through loving actions, draws Me Myself to himself, Who is Love Itself .... Through love, the human being has to purify his soul from all layers which cannot be penetrated by light, then he prepares himself, he shapes himself into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit, he fulfils the conditions which result in an outpouring of the spirit. And he must believe that My spirit flows into him, that the Father wants and is able to speak to His child .... And again, he will only believe this if he shapes himself into love .... for only when he believes in a working of My spirit within himself will he also attentively listen within to what this spirit communicates to him. As long as this belief is missing, he will never be able to speak of a ‘gift of the spirit’, he will simply not awaken the dormant forces within him and, thus, they will not be able to express themselves either, although they are present in him. Love will, however, soon enlighten his thinking, this is why a loving person will also soon be able to believe if his striving is spiritually-orientated, and he tries to live in accordance with My will.

Yet My spirit will not push itself to the fore .... no human being will ever hear the voice of My spirit who has not consciously established a bond with Me in order to hear Me .... For it requires him to listen inwards if he wants to hear Me and receive instructions full of wisdom, which only My spirit can impart to him. And precisely this belief in the working of My spirit has been lost by people so that they look at a completely natural process, which was only intended to demonstrate My great love for people, with utter incredulity, even though I Myself gave them a promise to stay with people and to guide them into all truth .... They don’t understand this promise or they would believe in it and grant greater significance to My Word which sounds to them from above or is passed on to them through My messengers .... My spirit merely requires a prepared vessel so that it can pour into it .... Then, however, He will also give evidence of Himself, It will speak to you like a Father speaks to His children, and He will enlighten you whenever you desire to be taught by Him. But He cannot express Himself where love and faith are missing, where the human being has not carried out the work of improving his soul by shaping himself into love and having already discarded all impurities of his soul. For I can only take abode in a pure heart full of love which can bear My presence .... However, wherever these prerequisites are present that is where I dwell and testify to My presence .... I pour out My spirit over all flesh .... I teach and comfort, I guide people into truth, I remain with them until the end of the world ....

Amen

God is a spirit Who has manifested Himself in Jesus ....

You should not imagine your God and Creator as a strictly limited Being, you should not try to associate Him with a form, for then your idea would always be wrong, because something defined can never correspond to My nature, which is utterly perfect, thus infinite. For I Am a spirit Who fills and permeates everything. In My nature I will be eternally unfathomable for My living creations, for although My living creations were externalised by Me in supreme perfection they are nevertheless only sparks of love, emanated by the fire of My Eternal Love and externalised as individual beings who, however, would be unable to behold the eternal source of light and strength if I showed Myself to them in My full abundance of brilliance, since they would perish if they faced the radiating light ....

Yet you need not visualise Me in any other way than as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... In Him I became the ‘visible’ God for you, in Him the eternal, infinite spirit has manifested Itself, in Him you see Me and are able to behold Him face to face .... Thus I gave Myself a form for you, whom I had externalised from My love and My strength as My living creations .... The Eternal Spirit Who fills all of infinity permeated this form with light and became a visible God for you .... And yet I reign and work throughout all of infinity and thus My Being cannot be limited either, I can only have become a conceivable idea in the form of Jesus Christ for you, who are still finite yourselves, who have not yet attained the highest perfection, for I have to give to you what corresponds to your state, which is still far from perfection.

However, I Am and remain also inscrutable in My nature for the spirits of highest perfection, which, however, is a cause of increased beatitude, because My children constantly strive towards Me, are constantly delighted by Me through My fulfilling of their desire yet never able to reach Me .... and on the other hand may behold Me from face to face in Jesus Christ .... This, too, will remain an enigma to you, and only in the state of enlightenment will you begin to comprehend and yet eternally unable to fathom My nature. To you I appear infinitely far away and yet I Am as close to you as only a father can get to his child. But this awareness makes you immensely happy, and your love for Me increases constantly and is also the cause of bliss, because it always meets with fulfilment.

And thus your love for Jesus Christ will blaze ever more ardently, in Whom you have recognised your Father of eternity and in Whom I bestow unlimited bliss upon you .... For in Him I Am now able to be close to My children, even though I Am not bound to the form, even though I fill all of infinity with My light and My strength, with My Being, which is and remains inscrutable. But you, My living creations, shall look for and find Me in Jesus, for I have chosen Him as the form which received Me; and this once human external form completely spiritualised itself and yet remained visible to every being which attained the state of maturity of spiritual vision ....

Thus you see My eternal spirit when you see Jesus, for He and I are one, you see the Father when you see Jesus, because I wanted to be visible to you, My created beings, in order to gain all your love. Yet you will never be able to behold Me in My infinite abundance of strength and light without ceasing to exist .... But I want to be able to create and work with My children and thus also reveal Myself to them in order to heighten their beatitude .... And I want to experience their love Myself and therefore will always be close to My children ....

Amen

‘Work of the spirit’ and the work of the spirit world ....

You are guided into truth .... Do you understand how significant it is to have the guarantee of living in absolute truth because I Am instructing you Myself? And do not be mislead if you are faced by contentions that you cannot be certain that it is I Who speaks to you, or you would even have to dismiss the Book of Books, which clearly refers to My ‘working of the spirit’ .... But people are already so distant from Me that they no longer know of My spirit’s work in a human being .... Although occasionally they indeed look for contact with the spiritual kingdom they are completely without knowledge and therefore in danger of accepting messages which do not correspond to truth, since they know too little about the ‘working of the spirits’ who have not yet entered the kingdom of light. They make contact with spiritual regions, with the world of spirits which, in fact, also look for contact with people but only to make themselves heard in order to transfer their misguided, confused thoughts to people, as they did on earth. For as long as they are not in the world of light they do not think correctly, their spirit is still dark and they are only able to pass on wrong concepts to people. And people value such messages from the world of spirits too highly .... But they do not look for the right relationship with Me, which would assure them to receive the truth. ‘My spirit will guide you into truth ....’ I want to instruct you Myself, and although I speak to you through messengers of light it is still the same, for the truth originates from Me and is passed on to you through My messengers of light. They will never be able to say anything other than is My will nor would they want to, since they receive the spiritual knowledge they pass on to you from Me ....

I Myself instruct you through the spirit .... You humans should comprehend that God Himself speaks to you, do not just dismiss this as impossible .... For you are in direct contact with Me, because you are My living creations, My children, who belong to Me eternally. The Father will always speak to His children providing they want it and fulfil My related conditions for the child to hear the Father’s voice. You have to believe that I speak to you, prepare yourselves as a vessel for the flow of My spirit and listen inwardly .... To be able to believe you have to live in love, whereby you prepare yourselves as a dwelling for Me so that I then can be present in you. And if you listen attentively you will hear Me .... And what I say to you is truth, for the Eternal Truth Itself speaks to you, It educates you, and you will learn everything that is necessary for the salvation of your soul. But do you need the voices from the spirit world for this? Be seriously warned not to accept messages as truthful which were not given to you through the ‘working of My spirit’ .... And avoid those who claim to have contact with the world of spirits .... They are a danger for you because they confuse your thoughts and keep you away from the pure truth. People with already matured souls certainly can have occasional insights into these worlds and exercise their influence on the souls in darkness, but the people on earth will never benefit from seeking contact with the world of darkness. That is why they should avoid such dealings with the spirit world, because they are also My adversary’s means in the last days to confuse people’s thoughts so that they are unable to appreciate the truth or even reject it, or they take less notice of it than those messages and overlook an invaluable gift of grace .... The truth comes forth from Me Myself, and you humans will receive it if you so desire. However, if you are satisfied with messages which do not originate from Me, if you pay attention to them, you do not desire truth and will never come to possess it either .... But where ‘My spirit is working’ there is truth .... For I can only work where the conditions are met, but then I will keep every error at bay, for this is truly within My power .... I want truth to be sent to earth, and I have the power to exercise My will, because you humans live with misconceptions and are therefore in utmost danger .... You humans can only become blessed through truth and therefore have to sincerely ask Me for it .... But then you can also be certain that you will receive it, that I will teach you Myself, as I have promised ....

Amen

Renewed prediction by God’s Word ....

You still don’t know what it means to be spoken to directly by Me because you people do not believe that your God and Father from high talks to you. For you are still of unenlightened spirit and you deem this not to be possible. You therefore still have a very wrong understanding of God because you put yourselves completely beside the Might that created you and thus cannot feel Its love because you are without love yourselves and therefore the working of the eternal love is incomprehensible to you. But, in not to remote a time you shall have proof that your God and Creator truly does speak and has spoken to you, for you to go through the fulfillment of My continuous announcements yourselves; and that you will go through a natural disaster of greatest extent ,which has never before befallen the earth.

Over and over I announce to you these happenings without finding any faith. But I want you to be able to believe when these My announcements will come true, for then I want you to believe too on the shortly afterwards following end and will prepare yourselves towards it. For the purpose of all My predictions is just always that you do sincerely tackle your soul-work, that you make well use of the short time and then live through the end, regardless, and not to be lost again for eternal times. i.e., having to bear the rebanishment [into matter] which you are irrevocably threatened with at the arrival of the end: if having not found your way to Me yet.

I just want to save you humans but not leave you to perish, but I cannot influence you against your will. I therefore talk to you through My messengers and make you aware of the near end, I remind you to keep thinking of your earthly purpose. I keep telling you over and over my divine teaching of love and all of you could believe if you just had an earnest will to achieve your earthly purpose of life. But you live a carefree life without any serious thought because you don’t believe in an afterlife of the soul. But I cannot do more than passing on the truth about your being and your destiny by Myself .....I cannot do more than directly talk to you by My messengers and to explain everything as comprehensible to you to the point where you can truly believe. But you don’t want to and you can’t be forced to believe My words from on high. Yet you ought to pay attention to every world event, to the condition amongst people and to the obvious spiritual low. You also ought to be critical towards yourself and your walk of life and you should meditate about the meaning and purpose of the earthly life .....You then would recognize the condition of man on your own and consider it plausible, this condition cannot remain like this; a change is due to occur and then attention will be paid to My word from on high. Yet, for obtaining faith the good will is required, for I help everyone who’d like to rise from the depths, who directs his thoughts towards Me in striving for recognition of the right and to detest the wrong .....

Truly, no better information can be given to you people than by My word ....Truly you can find no better explanation except I give it to you by means of the direct address and you can believe it - it’s the great spiritual need which causes Me to grant help to you people on earth in the way that I direct the truth towards you, which is foreign to you, because My opponent is doing and has been doing everything to increase the darkness upon you people, that you don’t see anything properly anymore. To also prevent you from recognizing the voice of your God and Father who wants to help and bring the light to you prior to the coming of the end.

Listen to Me when you hear My voice by means of My messengers, do not refuse what they bring you, for you who do not believe are in greatest danger ....And you can still get saved and find faith because the plain truth is presented to you ....And I will give you proof of the truth of it because it will very soon be fulfilled what there was proclaimed a long time ago already: that the earth will be befallen by an enormous natural happening as not experienced before ....And soon afterwards the end will truly come like proclaimed in word and scripture ....

About the incarnation of light beings ....

You should always ask Me for the pure truth and you will not live in error. And once again I refer you to the working of My spirit in you so that you will not run the risk of accepting mental concepts as truth which did not originate from Me Myself. And time and again I also draw your attention to Satan’s activity in the last days before the end, who uses every means to fight the truth, who with cunning and trickery intends to capture people who are not closely enough in contact with Me, who already allowed themselves to get entangled in misguided teachings and are unwilling to let go of them. I will send the truth to anyone if only he sincerely desires it ....

When the ‘incarnation of light beings’ in the last days before the end is mentioned, then this always happens in combination with a spiritual mission, because there is great spiritual hardship on earth and these beings had agreed to help people. And truly, there are many enlightened spiritual beings embodied on earth, which live unrecognised by their fellow human beings and fulfil the mission: to bring people spiritual information or to exemplify a life of love to them, to work for the benefit of their fellow human beings, thus to help them find the right path which leads to Me. But as a rule their task consists of working on My behalf in My vineyard, thus to be true ‘representatives of God’ .... teachers who are educated by Me Myself, who thus speak in place of Me, who are My true servants. They themselves have offered in the spiritual kingdom to carry out this redemption work and were in fact accepted by Me, which necessitated an embodiment in the flesh on this earth.

However, they are unaware of their origin; they do not know the task they had voluntarily taken upon themselves but live their life like any other person on earth, only their free will determines their conduct in life and their work in the vineyard. They don’t know of their pre-existence either .... And this is how it must be, because absolute free will should be the driving force .... irrespective of what kind of spiritual mission such a person carries out. It would truly not be beneficial for you to know a person’s previous incarnation for it would confuse your thinking, because My adversary recognises people’s weaknesses and can easily slip in wherever he detects but a spark of pride. Hence, such embodied beings of light received no knowledge about their origin from Me ....

And yet people claim to have knowledge of it and don’t question the source of such knowledge .... And ‘My spirit’ will never have revealed such information to them either, rather, ‘immature spirits’ have actively spread misconceptions and portrayed people as embodied beings of light where, in reality, no spiritual mission is recognisable or it would not be founded on lies or misguided assumptions .... The beings of light work in seclusion, or their activity comes so openly to the fore that a mission on My instruction is very clearly evident ....

But they will reject everything which does not correspond to the truth, and they will also recognise and condemn erroneous messages from the spirit realm as lies and deception. For they know the truth and fight for the truth, and not for misguided teachings which come forth from the one who is My adversary. And I can only ever warn you humans about his activity in the last days before the end, for he will do anything in order to invalidate My pure truth, and he will always find approval with those who look for extraordinary things, who are not content with the pure truth they receive from Me .... But I will always grant you clarification again, providing you seriously desire it ....

Amen

Blind faith is worthless ....

The human being shall believe but he shall not believe blindly .... he shall form a mental opinion about everything he is required to believe and then let his heart decide whether to reject or accept it. This is what I expect of people, but I Am not content with blind faith when the demand of such signifies a coercion of will, as I gave people completely free will. And you always have to bear the human being’s freedom of will in mind, then you will also recognise whether a doctrine has originated from Me, for I gave you humans absolute freedom, I gave you no other commandments apart from the divine commandments of love, the fulfilment of which, however, also presuppose free will. So now I want to guide you into bliss, and for that reason I repeatedly convey My Word to you .... I instruct you and familiarise you with spiritual knowledge .... and once again it is up to you to believe it or not .... Yet you have to form your own opinion about it, you have to think about it and have the good intention to recognise and accept what is right. I don’t expect you to blindly believe what you receive through My Word; yet I expect you to scrutinise it before you make a judgment, and after serious examination you will also recognise the truth of what you are presented with, and then you will no longer believe blindly.

But I cannot absolve many people from the accusation of having accepted spiritual values without checking them and then holding on to them .... which, after serious consideration, they would have had to recognise as being untrue .... Many people are satisfied with what was handed on to them by way of tradition, and they deem it wrong to dwell on it because this is what they were also taught .... But how do they want to justify themselves one day? Every human being received from Me the gift of faculty of thought, but does he make use of it? Why does he scrutinise the value of earthly commodities but refrains from doing so with spiritual goods? Why is the salvation of his soul of so little significance to each individual person that he would anxiously ask himself whether he can rely on the fact that he was offered the truth? Why is he indifferent to the ‘truth’? For truly, anyone who desires the truth will not live in darkness .... And this state of indifference can be found wherever any kind of spiritual knowledge is unreservedly and without scrutiny accepted because it originates from a specific source .... and precisely this source was not made accessible by Me, or the human being would live in truth and also clearly recognise it as such as soon as he forms an opinion of it. You, however, accept and believe blindly, and thus you strengthen the power of the one who is My adversary, who wants to push you into darkness and keep you there .... For you have dedicated yourselves to an organisation but not to Me, Who in fact wants to guide you to the light ....

However, you have free will and therefore I have never proceeded forcibly but left the decision to you, and as long as you have searched for Me in all sincerity I allow Myself to be found and kindle a bright light in you which also clearly illuminates My adversary’s activity. And every person can possess this light by just desiring the light .... But it involves the sincere will to be released from My adversary and this necessitates a close bond with Me .... And thus you need only ask yourselves whether you .... who believe blindly because you are told to do so .... feel impelled towards Me .... No one having sought this close bond with Me has remained empty-handed, for I reveal Myself to everyone and grant him the enlightenment which illumines his path ahead. For if he is searching for Me then love is in him too, which soon will bestow upon him the correct realisation. And thus he will also be able to separate error from truth, he will no longer believe blindly, his bond with Me will release him from My adversary, who will no longer be able to keep a person in darkness once he has seen the light, which makes him happy and only increases his desire for more light .... And he will free himself from the influence of those who pretend to be My true representatives on earth, who do not live in truth themselves and therefore cannot distribute it either .... who exert spiritual coercion on their followers, which can never correspond to My will, because earthly life is a matter of the human being’s free decision of will which is being prevented by the former ....

Amen

BD 7837                received  28.02.1961

Free will ....

Only your will determines whether you achieve perfection on this earth. Hence earthly life is a matter of your free decision of will. But this does not relate to earthly questions or opinions about earthly plans, it is purely a matter for your soul to make the right decision which Lord it accepts above itself. But the human being cannot be forced by either side to make this decision, consequently ‘free will’ cannot ever be refuted, in spite of the fact that people repeatedly attempt to do so. Only the human being’s innermost thoughts matter and this is not subject to any force. For this reason the person can only be influenced by ideas, speeches and various events which are thus intended to affect his thoughts (his will). And this is attempted by the divine as well as by the God-opposing aspect. However, it is always the person’s own decision to which influence he submits himself (yields) .... The human being’s will is free .... Hence one day he also has to be accountable for the direction he gave his will, because he was given his life as a human being for the purpose of testing his will and sooner or later the soul has to endure the consequences of its will’s decision.

The human being is able to turn his will towards God in every situation of life .... And he can equally submit himself to His adversary .... but he will never be able to hold anyone responsible for his decision of will, neither his fellow human being nor a worldly power, neither God Himself nor His adversary, because it is entirely up to his free will whether the direction of his thoughts aim towards God or His adversary .... But his destiny is always determined by God such that he can easily find God, as long as he no longer offers Him inner resistance .... which thus is determined by his free will. People are inclined to refute free will because they are not always able to do what they want to do, however, it is not always a question of what they do, but what they want. Because they can be prevented from carrying out actions, again due to the effects of spiritual influences .... but the volition itself cannot be prevented. Therefore the human being should be critical of himself with regard to the direction of his will’s expression .... because during his life on earth he knows that he is expected to turn towards God, because God Himself constantly conveys this information to him and he does not live his earthly life entirely without knowledge .... But since he is also influenced by God’s adversary it will be inevitable that he has to think about it, and therefore he is already urged to make a decision ....

And thus this, too, is the battle between light and darkness, which has to be settled by the person himself and which would be inconceivable without the human being’s free will, otherwise only the positive and negative powers would fight each other and one power would then emerge as winner .... But this is not how the battle between light and darkness should be understood, because it concerns the human being’s soul which, in free will, makes its own choice regarding itself. The human being’s life on earth is therefore an uninterrupted chain of experiences, discoveries and impressions which stimulate his thinking and which can also enable his thoughts to move into the right direction. But since God’s adversary was granted the right to fight for the soul as well, his thinking will also be subject to negative influences and then he has to make his choice. And the intensity of his resistance to God determines the outcome, it determines the soul’s fate after the body’s death, which can be exceedingly joyful but also intensely painful. However, irrespective how the will decides .... God’s love never abandons the soul, and if it does not achieve its goal in this earthly life it will indeed delay its salvation for an infinitely long time, but sooner or later the right decision is made by the will, since God’s love is strength which the soul does not oppose forever ....

Directing the souls in the beyond to Jesus Christ ....

Anyone who professes Me in the spiritual kingdom will be redeemed for all eternity .... As soon as the souls, which are still dwelling in darkness or twilight, are no longer opposed to My name when they are informed of My act of Salvation by disguised messengers of light or by the thoughts of loving people, the darkness will leave them .... the strength of My name alone will take effect in them and drive them to Me, they will start to look for Me and I will also allow Myself to be found .... But the soul’s will is and shall always remain free, hence it can also take a long time before they accept Me, before people’s intercession will become effective or the messengers of light joining them in disguise will be successful in bringing them the Gospel.

Yet the efforts to gain these souls will not cease, and therefore it is very beneficial if souls are consciously invited to join spiritual conversations relating to the act of Salvation, so that the souls will time and again be directed to Jesus Christ and voluntarily take the path to Me and ask Me for forgiveness of their guilt .... As long as they are not happy they are still burdened by guilt, and their misery can encourage them to strive for an improvement of their situation and think about themselves, about their life on earth and their relationship with Me, their God and Creator of eternity. It already reduces the soul’s will of resistance if it receives people’s loving intercession, if it is kindly thought of and feels their willingness to help. This is also decreasing its rejection of accepting the help which it is repeatedly offered in the realm of the beyond, and its surrender of opposition is the beginning of progress, for every inclination of such a soul is taken into account and it is bestowed with a small light, which makes it happy and increases its desire for it.

The souls in the beyond have to find Me if they have not found Me on earth already. And you humans can greatly contribute towards it by frequently thinking of souls which suffer adversity .... by only ever directing every soul coming into your mind to Me, to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, Who alone can help it attain beatitude. Your loving thoughts of these souls are like sparks of light, which make them happy and which they always look out for and to whose origin they hurry. While on earth they had kept away from all spiritual instruction, they had only lived their earthly life and thus entered the spiritual kingdom devoid of all spiritual possessions after their death .... Now they first have to acquire spiritual possessions of their own free will, they should not offer any opposition if the Gospel of love is proclaimed to them, and they also must pass it on with love to those who, like themselves, would like to improve their situation.

However, as soon as you humans take care of these souls they are not lost; your thoughts will always draw them to yourselves and they will also be able to accept what they hitherto had rejected .... and now experience it as a blessing because it is given to them by your love .... For love is a power which will not remain ineffective .... You should often remember the souls which still languish in darkness, which have not yet found their way to Me in Jesus; show them the way and inform them of the Gospel; and you will accomplish a richly blessed work of redemption that is most significant, especially during the last days, because many souls shall still detach themselves from the abyss, so that they will not fall prey to the new banishment when the end has come ....

The adversary’s disguise as a spirit of light ....
Miracles? ....

Your thinking is utterly wrong if you look upon the adversary’s machinations as divine miracles, because they can be recognised as soon as you humans are of good will and subsequently also desire to think correctly .... For the sign of My working consists of the fact that everything testifies to love, wisdom and power; consequently, you need only investigate as to whether love, wisdom and power can be recognised when you are informed of such alleged miracles .... My adversary also disguises himself in the form of light, he appears as a spirit of light and confuses gullible people who are looking for sensations and therefore also accept anything unverified. You should not believe blindly, each one of you should examine and keep that which seems acceptable to you after serious scrutiny. So if phenomena are reported to you which supposedly are My ‘divine’ activity, you should know that I do not work in unusual ways in order to lead people to faith, because a living faith can only be gained through kind-hearted actions and any other faith is of no value before Me. Why should I therefore offer you unusual phenomena and what would be My purpose for it? You can find out anything you need to know from My Word, its transmission is certainly an extraordinary gift of grace but it does not oblige anyone to believe who does not live a life of love .... But it shall stimulate you into kind-hearted activity, and then your faith will become firm and alive. A spiritually highly mature person will occasionally be able to experience spiritual visions, but he will find it very difficult to describe to his fellow human beings what he had seen .... In that case one cannot speak of ‘unusual phenomena’ which originate from Me .... Yet My adversary often works by dazzling people and thus creating an illusion of things which are only perceived by people akin to him, who are not in heartfelt contact with Me, their God and Father of eternity .... This can only happen if people think the wrong way and thereby prepare their own foundation for wrong images .... if they themselves are willing to confirm inaccuracies by testifying to them .... Their lack of earnestly requesting the truth leaves them open to any error, and then it is easy for My adversary to build upon this error and to increasingly confuse people’s thinking more and more so that they see and hear what he feigns to them because they want to see and hear it. Don’t believe that I try to prove or reveal Myself to those who do not shape themselves such that I can reveal Myself to them .... but even then it does not happen so obviously that it would compel someone into believing who has not reached a specific degree of maturity .... And ask yourselves whether people advocating unusual experiences or phenomena can be credited with this maturity .... because only the masses will let themselves be deceived but fully matured souls will never experience My adversary’s obvious activity .... Anyone who believes blindly gets more and more caught up in Satan’s web of lies, for he has an easy game with them .... But if you seriously desire the truth, he will not be able to deceive you, then you will recognise him regardless of what he does .... For his activity emerges from darkness and only increases the darkness .... However, where I Am at work there is light .... and there can only be light where love is present. And this light of love can only emanate from Me, but it will also illuminate and penetrate the darkness .... Therefore, look for light, try to escape the darkness and turn to Me as the light of eternity .... And you will easily recognise where My adversary has intervened, for neither My love nor My wisdom nor power can be recognised there .... His activity will be clearly recognisable, as he will only ever fight the light and therefore also the truth ....

Only love will achieve the return ....

I want to guide you into beatitude .... consequently I will also do everything that will put you into the state of maturity when you yourselves have the will to become blessed. Love, however, guarantees this state of maturity, love guarantees happiness, because love signifies unification with Me and then I can also give you the bliss caused by My emanation of love. Thus time and again I encourage you through My Word to do kind deeds, I arrange your earthly fate such that you will have many opportunities to serve with love .... I try to ignite the spark of love in you which spreads and seizes everything with its glow. You can only become blessed through love because it was your original state, since you once came forth from My love and therefore were love yourselves in your fundamental substance .... And you were happy in your original state since you were closely connected to Me and thus constantly received My emanation of love which could only be bliss.

The fact that you changed your nature into the opposite of yourselves, that you rejected My emanation of love, that you turned towards the one who was devoid of all love, has made you wretched too .... But you are My living creations, and My infinite love will not allow you to be eternally wretched, for love wants to bestow happiness, love wants to know happiness and make happy .... and My love will never end .... Thus, as long as you are wretched because your nature is still imperfect, since it has not changed back into love, I will pursue you with My love and thus never leave you to yourselves .... and consequently you cannot be lost forever. But you can prolong the time of your wretchedness yourselves, you can let an infinitely long time pass by without endeavouring to change your nature, and you provide the evidence of this in your earthly life or you would make use of this short earthly life in order to regain your state of blissfulness.

And therefore I often have to intervene harshly, I have to bring the immense earthly hardship home to you which could prompt you into lovingly assisting your fellow human beings, and I have to let you experience such hardship yourselves so that you feel for yourselves how soothingly another person’s kind deed can affect you, and thereby you will become motivated yourselves to reciprocate such actions of love .... For only love can achieve a change of your nature, only love will put you into the original state again where you are happy. Yet My love takes all your weakness and faults into account, My love knows your imperfection, your weakness of will and former resistance and yet reveals itself to you anyway, it will help you time and again during earthly and spiritual hardship in order to gain your love too .... For then you will be saved for all eternity.

And if you always just open your eyes and look around yourselves during your earthly life you will be able to recognise My infinite love which is intended for you, My living creations. For everything around you was only created for you, creation emerged for the sake of your return, you experience your existence as a human being for the sake of your return, and for the sake of your return I reveal Myself every day through happenings and experiences of all kinds. For I don’t want to leave you in wretchedness, I want you to recognise Me in earthly life as your God and Creator, as your Father Who loves you and to Whom you shall belong again as in the beginning ....

And truly, one day you will be blessed again, one day you will push towards Me full of love, one day you will return to Me as children into your Father’s house .... And I will always help so that you won’t delay this return due to your own fault .... but I will always leave you your free will which is part of supreme blissfulness since it is the evidence of your divinity. And therefore you have to become active yourselves, you have to live in accordance with My commandments of love, you have to improve yourselves and shape your nature into love, you have to fight against selfish love and engross yourselves in unselfish neighbourly love .... Yet without love you cannot become blessed ....

Amen

The true church of Christ ....
Peter, the rock ....

Every devout Christian belongs to the church which I Myself founded on earth .... But I emphasize: every devout Christian .... For many people only call themselves ‘Christians’ because they belong to a ‘Christian’ denomination, to a denomination which certainly preaches of Christ .... but this does not prove that the people also have a living faith in Him .... And I demand this faith in Me because My church is built upon a profound, living faith. People do not, in fact, openly reject the teachings which have been passed on in tradition .... they dare not disagree, but they have no profound unquestionable faith in My act of Salvation, in My actions as a human being on this earth. Therefore, I cannot acknowledge them as living Christians who belong to My church either, rather they are mere nominal members, formal Christians .... They are people who have never spent serious thought on the problem of God’s human manifestation in Jesus, nor do they know about the mission of Jesus the human being, instead they merely consider the events surrounding Jesus the man as a myth, possibly believing in Him as an idealist who wanted the best for His fellow human beings .... But even this cannot be rated by Me as ‘faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation’ ....

However, anyone with a living faith also knows why I demand such faith, so that I can bestow eternal bliss upon him .... This is because an irrevocable part of it is love, only this gives birth to a living faith, and you humans must have this love in order to clearly understand the significance of My act of Salvation for humanity and the reason for My life on earth. And only those who have arrived at such awareness can talk about a maturing of their souls, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life as a human being .... Because My spirit, which I promised to everyone who belongs to My church, to everyone who believes in Me, is working in them .... Enlightenment by the spirit is the sign of belonging to My church, which I Myself founded on earth and if you humans call yourselves ‘Christians’ while your spirit is not yet enlightened the name ‘Christ’ cannot mean anything at to you at all .... You are outside of My church even if you belong to an organisation which speaks of Me, because you do not heed the only important sermon: that you should fulfil the commandments of love, which are undeniably taught by every church but which are not made the focal point and therefore it mainly produces dead Christians. However, anyone living with love can belong to any ecclesiastical organisation .... he will be a member of My church, because it is built on the living faith which sprung to life through love .... You can only become blessed through love ....

Thus, you will have to comply with My divine teaching of love and thereby prove to Me that you want to belong to My church. And since the divine teaching of love is being preached in every Christian organisation you have to exemplify this teaching first and foremost, you should not give precedence to other additional commandments by people, for these do not benefit the soul’s maturity but only stop you from fulfilling My will, Who gave you the commandments of love for God and other people. Thus, living Christians, who will subsequently be regarded as members of the church founded by Me, will be able to emerge from every church. But not one of these churches can claim to be the only beatifying one, because only love results in blissfulness and this love can and will be practised by followers of all denominations, who will then also be regarded as true Christians, who are aspirants for My kingdom which is not of this world. Consequently, it is irrelevant which school of thought you join in earthly life if only your life of love leads you to a living faith in Me and My act of Salvation .... Then I will admit you into My church, then you will also exemplify My Word which I taught on earth; you can follow Me by living with love, as I have done. In this way you will become true followers of My teaching, because I came to earth to ignite the love which you humans had stifled due to My adversary’s influence .... I taught love and exemplified it .... and anyone living with love like Me follows Me, he joins Me .... He belongs to the church I founded because he has the same faith as Peter, the rock on which I built My church .... Do understand these Words correctly and do not apply their wrong interpretation .... Because Peter’s followers are only those who, by means of a life of love, have acquired the very same solid faith within themselves and who thus have the right to call themselves followers of ‘My church’ ....

Amen

Strokes of fate ....
Spiritual death ....

People who no longer have faith in a God and Creator, in the soul’s continuation of life after death, have already succumbed to spiritual death, for they do not believe that they live on earth for a purpose and reason but only regard this life as an end in itself. They only move on an earthly level, their thoughts don’t find the path into the spiritual kingdom, for they refuse to accept and follow thoughts which originate from there. They are purely humanly-orientated creatures with such a low degree of maturity that the destiny of a renewed banishment almost certainly awaits them, because their free will, instead of striving upwards, aims downwards again .... They have already attained some life and yet surrender to death again .... And neither can they be stopped because it is their free will, because it concerns the last and entirely free decision of will in earthly life. God, however, wants to give everlasting life to people .... And people must accept it from His hand, they cannot receive it from anywhere else than from their eternal God and Creator, nevertheless, they don’t believe in Him and thus they won’t ask Him for it either. Consequently, He can only impose upon them a destiny in earthly life which dissuades them from the material world and makes them think .... He can only shatter their earthly happiness and hopes because he wants to save them, because He wants to help them to attain the life which will last forever .... For if the human being’s every earthly wish and craving finds fulfilment, he will constantly want more and increasingly turn his thoughts towards earthly things, and then his life will only be an end in itself for him but never become the means to an end.

You should therefore not be surprised that events which, in an earthly sense, have a disastrous effect on those who are affected by them, will increase during the last days .... that accidents and all kinds of disasters will claim countless human lives, that earthly possessions will be destroyed and that people will have to suffer illness and distress .... These are merely the means used by God Himself in order to find access to those people’s hearts who refuse access to Him as long as their earthly way of life is good .... Anything He can still do will be done by Him in order to save those people who are approaching death. For spiritual death is far worse than physical death, which need not affect the soul if the person has lived his earthly life appropriately .... the soul cannot die but it must suffer the consequences of the person’s thinking and conduct on earth. It will irrevocably have to experience the fate of renewed banishment if it still hasn’t found God before the end, if it does not learn to recognise Him before the end and consciously acknowledges Him and appeals to Him for help and mercy in its spiritual adversity. And to make this possible much is yet to happen which you don’t think you can reconcile with the love of a God .... But it is love, no matter how cruel it seems to you, for the soul’s spiritual death is far more painful than the most horrendous strokes of fate can be on this earth .... For earthly life comes to an end, the soul, however, must spend an infinitely long time in torment and darkness again before it will receive the grace once more to live on earth as a human being with the same task: to voluntarily make a decision in favour of the One from Whom it once originated .... to voluntarily decide in favour of God from Whom it once voluntarily turned away and therefore became wretched. And it can only become blissfully happy again if it has fulfilled the meaning and purpose of its existence as a human being .... Then it will attain life again, it will no longer need to fear death, it will live forever as soon as it returns to God once more, as soon as it has united with Him again, for which its existence as a human being provided it with the opportunity to do and its will made the right decision ....

Divine Working of the spirit ....
Speaking in tongues .... I.

It is My will that everything will become clear to you, that you will receive the answer to the questions you entertain and which you present to Me for a reply. For it is necessary to still correct many errors you humans received from ignorant sources and which can only be clarified through My spirit, for it will guide you into all truth. Only My spirit can give you the right answer, but My spirit must be able to express itself, which presupposes a certain degree of maturity of soul. And it is definitely a blessing for you humans if you don’t reject this spirit within you, if you allow its working by shaping yourselves such that I can illuminate you with My spirit .... that your indwelling spiritual spark therefore seeks contact with the Father-Spirit of eternity and instructs you, that it enlightens you, that it informs you of spiritual knowledge, that it guides you into truth .... Since you still live in spiritual darkness as long as My light cannot shine in you, you urgently need light which I Myself will ignite in you if you live according to My will, if you thus work at attaining the said maturity of soul which allows for the working of My spirit in you .... And now I Am asking you: What blessing do you humans derive from My working of the spirit if you merely hear the sound of unintelligible words? .... If a person goes into ruptures and speaks words you cannot understand? .... Do you believe, My spirit works like that? Do you believe that you thereby become enlightened in your thinking, that you attain realisation, that truthful knowledge is imparted to you in this way? .... You call this ‘speaking in tongues’ and don’t know what to make of such a tangle of words which are voiced by people who are controlled by evil spirits, who want to show off and deem themselves beyond being tested .... Such ‘working of the spirit’ is a deception by spirits .... which can take possession of people whose need for admiration is still too strong, who want to stand out and send themselves into ecstasies .... For that which comes from Me is light and clear, it does not spread renewed darkness amongst people. And thus, as long as you experience things which do not grant you light, not complete clarity, I Am not at work, as I Am the Light of eternity .... You humans need only ever apply the yardstick as to whether and to what extent you gain light and realisation .... Then you will have the clear answer to the question, who is at work .... For forces will never express themselves such that it only causes confusion, and I will never want you to be plunged from one question and ambiguity into another and for this emanate My working .... It is My will that there shall be light amongst people who desire the light themselves, but I also want you to turn to Me Myself and shape your hearts such that I Myself can work through My spirit in you .... I do not want you to hand yourselves over to immature spirits which throw you into ever greater darkness and are able to do so because you merely want to be imbued by ‘a spirit’ .... but not awaken the spiritual spark in you to life through love, which will then seek contact with the eternal Father-Spirit .... And this spirit will truly guide you into truth, it will speak to you clearly and comprehensibly, it will give you light, providing you seriously desire light ....

Divine working of the spirit ....
Speaking in tongues .... II.

You may constantly receive My love and grace, at no time ever shall your measure be small, you shall always be given according to your desire. And thus you shall also be instructed if you are uninformed, spiritual knowledge shall be conveyed to you as soon as you require it for your salvation of soul. You shall become enlightened, and this light shines forth in you through the working of My spirit, because I love you. And nothing I bestow upon you will ever increase your darkness, it will never contribute towards spreading spiritual night over you. For when the ‘Eternal Light’ sends Its ray of love to you, you must be enlightened yourselves, everything must become clear to you. Don’t forget this fundamental truth, then you will also always make the right judgment if this is demanded of you in regards to spiritual activity whose origin is debatable. Anything that comes from Me can only be light and only ever ignite light in you .... In contrast, anything that cannot offer you light does not come from Me; instead, its source is with My adversary, whose greatest endeavour is to keep you in spiritual darkness. But now, do not raise the objection that you are incapable of making a correct judgment .... For as soon as you turn to Me with the appeal for spiritual enlightenment, as soon as your request comes from the bottom of your heart and is voiced for the sake of pure truth, you may truly also rely on the fact that it will be granted to you, for every person is pleasing to Me to whom the truth is sacred, who strives for it and who turns to Me Myself, the Eternal Truth Itself. I won’t leave you in spiritual darkness, and then you will always have the right thoughts and brightly and clearly recognise as to whether spiritual knowledge originates from Me or My adversary. However, only a few people genuinely desire truth, consequently, much can be presented as truth to the others without recognising the error. For then they will also accept everything thoughtlessly and endorse it again to their fellow human beings as truth and thereby add ever more darkness among the human race.

From My side no forceful elimination of such misguided teachings can ensue, because time and again people will be taken in by My adversary’s activity and grant him access for as long as they don’t seriously desire and request light from Me and because, until they do, countermeasures on My part will remain unsuccessful on account of people’s free will. And so I can only ever grant light to those who want to escape the darkness; but they will indeed be illuminated by My light of love, and they will always recognise where My adversary has intervened in order to confuse people’s thoughts. They will know that anything that is puzzling to people can never be My activity .... that I Am never at work when people speak what no-one can understand .... when they present themselves as being ‘filled by the spirit of God’ and cannot provide their fellow human beings with any light whatsoever. Don’t believe every spirit, instead, test them seriously .... For My opposing spirit is working as well, especially during the time of the end, and he will cause increasingly more confusion by hiding behind My Word, behind the Book of the Fathers. He will draw you humans into error and be able to do so because you believe you know the truth and therefore don’t seriously desire the truth, for which you must call upon Me for enlightenment. You believe that you can draw the truth from the Book of Books and fail to appeal to Me for the right spirit, so that you will understand this book properly, so that you won’t merely read the letter without grasping the spirit concealed behind the letter. For the letter kills, only the spirit gives life. However, you can only grasp the spiritual meaning of the Word if a light has been kindled in you, if My spirit is able to work in you which enlightens you from within, so that you then will understand the meaning of the written Word. And you should always make sure as to whether you receive a very clear explanation .... For only that which comes from Me gives you this clear explanation. What you cannot understand despite your best intentions, what makes you question even more, is not from Me .... And you can unhesitatingly reject it as the working of My opposing spirit and need not be afraid that you will be held to account because of your rejection .... For the light will always affect you beneficially, whereas the darkness will make those of you withdraw who desire light. And My spirit is not at work as long as you question, as long as you cannot see clearly, instead, it is the work of the one who fights the light, i.e. the truth, and you should keep away from him ....

God answers every question through the heart .... I.

Everyone can work in My vineyard if only he has the will to be of service to Me. Yet there are many different things he can do because I only require a profoundly faithful heart which emanates love for its fellow human beings .... thereby awakening love in them again and this will spread and help to gain a living faith in a God and Creator .... And everyone who has a convinced faith of his own can also proclaim Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation .... And he will be of service to Me, he will be My faithful servant, for he will also try to lead his fellow human beings to gain this faith. And I shall bless his will and manifest Myself to him, I will speak to him through his heart, he will sense it, he will be inwardly impelled to accomplish his vineyard work and be stimulated from within to speak to fellow human beings of good will when he meets them. And thus you can all serve Me and participate in the redemption work if this is your will .... The strength to do so will be conveyed to you by Me, Who knows your will and gives it My blessing. For there is great spiritual hardship because people no longer have faith, and My servants must be able to convincingly endorse this faith again if it is to be accepted by their fellow human beings, too. However, this redemption work need not be associated with any unusual activity, anyone can do it if he has living faith in Me and whose love applies to their fellow human beings suffering spiritual adversity, for My spirit works in everyone, even if it is not externally noticeable. And this silent redemptive work is frequently of greater value to Me than work of an externally obvious nature, the latter easily reveals earthly side effects which detract from the redemptive work. This risk occurs if overly eager people want to emphasise spiritual gifts .... if, regardless of where they are, they always expect My direct communication concerning personal wishes .... In that case they no longer allow Me to guide them, instead they try to oblige Me to take their wishes into account .... And then My spirit remains silent .... Then they speak themselves as people and jeopardize My working in them.

I indeed speak to all people through a human mouth if I seek to make the Gospel accessible to them in all purity, and if you humans comply with My will by living up to My Gospel then I will also be able to address every one of you through the heart, so that you will truly receive an answer to every question you have in mind .... But anyone who has not yet shaped himself though love such that he will be able to hear Me by feeling the answer I give to him, cannot expect a communication from those who would like to convey it to him either and thus the latter will pass on words which do not come from Me .... After all, it is My will that you should establish a close bond with Me yourselves, it is My will that you come to Me yourselves, that everyone should shape himself such that I will be able to answer him when he asks .... If you silently assure Me of your will to serve Me and to render redemption work you can also rest assured that I will look after you and you will truly not need any instruction conveyed to you from a fellow human being, for you thereby admit your own inadequacy: lack of love and trust in Me Who knows every question which moves you and Who will answer it if you ask Me .... The silent redemption work rendered by every individual person is truly more pleasing to Me than that carried out due to human influence, for you know that I welcome and accept all of you as My servants if you yourselves offer your services to Me and aim to fulfil My will .... Thus why do you desire confirmations which you expect Me to give to you through a human mouth? You thereby open a door for your adversary who will then try to express himself in accordance with your desire, because you demonstrate that you don’t believe in My direct working within you, because you don’t believe that I place the answer into your heart when you make contact with Me in prayer .... And due to this unbelief, he whom you should avoid will gain influence .... For he, too, uses fine words and you will seriously have to examine where these words originated from ....

God answers every question through the heart .... II.

The reason why people so easily fall prey to misconception is due to the fact that their attitude towards Me is not yet entirely correct, even if the will for it is there, that is, if they have the will to be of service to Me. Their constant bond with Me would truly protect them from error, that is, they would recognise it as such. However, this bond is still not deep enough, and thus earthly thoughts still come to the fore which are taken up and considered by the intellect, but the intellect often consults a fellow human being and he can, if he is not closely enough united with Me either, also advise him wrongly. For this reason I Am only rarely able to convey the pure truth to earth, because this necessitates the most heartfelt contact with Me which prevents all interference by other forces. And therefore, only that person who establishes this intimate bond with Me and rejects any external influence, who only listens to what I Myself say to him through the heart will be protected from erroneous influence or error. It is indeed My will that you humans should unite in love, that one shall strengthen and support the other in faith, that you treat each other as brothers and strive together towards Me as your Father, but I also want every single person to connect with Me too; I want you to ask Me for advice yourselves .... I want you yourselves to appeal to Me to fulfil your every spiritual and earthly request .... I want this direct bond with Me when it relates to personal questions and wishes .... just as I, on the other hand, send to you My mediators and messengers to whom you should listen if you receive spiritual teachings, if My Gospel is intended to be conveyed to you ....

Understand that I want to speak to you through My instruments and will always do so when ‘spiritual information’ shall be imparted to you, because you are not capable as yet of receiving such teachings or deeper wisdom directly. Then I will always say: Listen to My messengers and fulfil My will .... But I will never impart thought concepts to you through your fellow human beings which have a different content than a ‘spiritual’ one .... because you should come to Me yourselves with every personal request. You should learn to differentiate between the ‘transmission of My Word’ and ‘personal speeches’ which can be received by anyone who makes heartfelt contact with Me, whereas My Word requires a special mediator or vessel in order to be able to flow into it as an outpouring of My spirit .... And therefore you should be careful and realise that you can easily fall prey to error, for where My adversary recognises a human weakness he can effortlessly slip in and avail himself of it. However, you can rest assured that I protect ‘My Word’ from every error, from the adversary’s influence, because I want to guide you humans into the truth. Nevertheless, you should not carelessly believe every Word which rings out to you as a spiritual transmission, you should seriously scrutinise it as to whether its content is purely spiritual, whether it aims to achieve the maturing of your souls, whether it can be spoken of as given by Me for your soul’s salvation. And you should entrust your own wishes to Me, and then I will also speak to you through your heart and you will subsequently know what you should or should not do ....

A renewal of earth must come ....

Earth will have to be renewed if the higher development of the spiritual beings is to progress; all works of creation will have to release the spirits so that they can continue their development within new forms, as this is the purpose of the work of creation called ‘earth’ .... For it does not just concern you humans who voluntarily ought to reach your final goal on earth but fail to do so .... it also concerns the spiritual substance bound within the form which has not yet been able to arrive at the possibility of being of service and to which the path of service shall be opened. As long as you humans do not know the meaning and purpose of creation, you will not consider the possibility of an impending transformation of the earth’s surface either. And yet it is about to happen and may only be experienced by people who have fulfilled the purpose of their earthly life, who have matured fully and therefore will populate the new earth .... Hence they also know God’s plan of Salvation, they believe that they live in the last days and expect the end and with it the coming of the Lord, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture. But there are only few of them ....

People’s low spiritual level is so obvious that the time has come when a change must happen again .... when all spirits have to be placed into forms which correspond to their state of maturity .... And thus the human being, having completely failed, will also have to be banished into hard matter again and start a new process of development; whereas the spiritual being bound within matter may occupy increasingly softer forms until it reaches the stage one day when it can take the path across earth as a human being for his last decision of will. The fact that people will experience this harsh fate of a new banishment is the result of their free will, for they no longer have any spiritual aspirations on earth, they are totally attached to matter and will therefore become what they aspired to in this earthly life. Nevertheless, they have been sufficiently admonished and warned, during their earthly life they have been informed of the purpose of earthly life, and no person will be able to say that he had absolutely no knowledge of it. The fact that he, of his own free will, had rejected everything that could have increased his maturity is his own fault which he consequently will also have to pay for. A continuation of the old earth, however, would never ensure that these people would change; they would only ever descend further and also prevent the spirits within the form from progressing further. But who will believe this if he is informed of it?

As soon as people no longer believe in God, in a continuation of life after death, in a responsibility on their part, the said low spiritual level will have been reached which necessitates the end, the dissolution of earthly creations. For in that case people’s existence on earth would be pointless, the blessing of an embodiment as a human being would no longer be made use of, the earth will have ceased to be a place of education for the spiritual beings and a total transformation will have to happen to put an end to this unspiritual state of affairs. And you humans will shortly face this transformation, you will shortly face a spiritual and earthly turning point, for the time which was granted to you for the maturing of your souls has come to an end. Until the end you will be warned and admonished, until the end you will be instructed about the purpose of your existence, you will receive the knowledge of God’s plan of Salvation, of His infinite love for all His living creations and of the possibility and help on His part to become blessed before the end arrives .... However, you have to accept all this of your own free will, you have to seriously want to fulfil the purpose of your human existence .... you have to acknowledge a God above yourselves and appeal to Him for mercy .... And truly, you will still be saved in the last hour, otherwise the Judgment will take effect on you, otherwise you will get what you are striving for .... you will turn into matter again which had kept you tied to the earth so that you didn’t take the path of ascent and therefore will end up in the abyss again ....

God’s infinite love wants to give itself away ....

You will enter the spheres of heavenly bliss if you have lived your earthly life in accordance with My will .... Yet it is not this promise that should persuade you to live your life correctly but your love for Me, Who wants to give you these beatitudes because I love you beyond measure but I also want to possess your love .... I created you out of My love, and this love will never end. And one day, when you have become enlightened, the concept of love, which you cannot grasp as a human being as long as you still lack love, will also have become comprehensible for you .... But to be without love is a state of unhappiness for every living creation that came forth from Me, because it is also a state of weakness and darkness in which happiness is unthinkable. A life in accordance with My will is, however, a life of love and this will also lead you back into a state of blissfulness ....

After the death of your body you will enter My kingdom which will provide you with unimaginable splendours that My love has prepared for all My beings which will join Me again in love. Love cannot do anything other than give joy and seek unification, for love wants to give itself away, it wants to please because this is the nature of love .... And since My love was overwhelming and wanted to give itself away I created beings for Myself to which I could give Myself .... I created vessels for Myself which accepted the flow of My love and I united Myself with these beings and continuously let My ray of love flow into them .... And thus I made them abundantly happy .... The fact that they eventually resisted My illumination of love was due to a special reason but it did not prevent Me from pursuing these beings with My love, it just didn’t make them happy anymore because they resisted it, because they had detached themselves from Me.

Nevertheless, since love is never-ending it will also never remain inactive but try to regain what had fallen away from it .... My love has never stopped to entice back to Me that which had fallen away and will continue to do so until it has returned to Me of its own free will. For no being can remain closed to My illumination of love forever, because love is a power which does not stay ineffective, and because the beings’ resistance will diminish sooner or later, becoming constantly less until they finally open themselves again in order to be made blissfully happy by My love for all eternity. And that which has found its way back to Me will never leave Me again .... It will not be able to descend into the abyss anymore, for once it has travelled the path through the lowest points with the ultimate accomplishment of having attained the pinnacle again it will also be inseparably united with Me, for it will have reached perfection which I was unable to give to the being Myself, since it required free will to remain in perfection, and this free will has been proven .... otherwise I could also forcibly obtain their love, but then one could never speak of unrestricted happiness, for love does not tolerate compulsion, it has to turn to Me voluntarily, which is proven by the human being when he lives on earth according to My will, when he shapes himself into love, which is his fundamental nature ....

In My kingdom, however, everything is love .... and you all shall enter this kingdom of love, you all shall be immeasurably happy one day when you unite yourselves with Me, your Father of eternity, Whose love created you and Whose love will also pursue you if you keep yourselves distant from Me .... Yet you will not remain distant from Me forever, because My love is stronger than your will of resistance, because one day you will submit yourselves to My love again, because it will also ignite itself in you and grow into a bright blaze, because I will then be and remain the goal and the object of your love for all eternity ....

Purpose of earthly existence ....

You yourselves gave rise to your existence on earth when you refused to remain in the circuit of My flow of love. You had been independent beings which I externalised out of My love but which had always been in most heartfelt contact with Me and were therefore always permeated by My strength of love. As long as you accepted this emanation of love you were blissfully happy. But when you voluntarily left the circuit of My love, My strength of love became ineffective, which meant that you became incapable of being active since it has always necessitated My strength of love. Inactivity is solidification, inactivity is immobility .... it is a state of death, of complete lifelessness .... You voluntarily entered this state through you past rebellion against Me and you will remain in this state until you voluntarily enter the circuit of My love again. All beings which had once fallen away from Me must go through this process: of arising from death to life. Thus, the fallen spirits, having hardened as a result of rejecting My strength of love, had become incapable of all activity and were dissolved by My will into countless minute particles, which were encapsulated by My strength of love and shaped into creations of the most varied kinds .... These, in turn, helped the spiritual substances to become active again, albeit quite minimally, according to My will .... Activity is life .... The dead substance gradually awakened to life and the degree of activity constantly increased through new formations of the bound spirits within these works of creation .... You humans are now occupying the final form in which the once fallen being shall attain the highest degree of activity and is able to do so if it uses its restored free will in the right way .... Your external form is also a work of creation by My love which is to bring the process to conclusion: to result in eternal life for you which you cannot lose anymore when you have accomplished your return to Me.

However, your life as a human being also includes the great danger that you will misuse your free will for a second time and thereby render the whole previous process of development completely worthless .... that you will descend into the abyss again, that you will reject My love once more and harden in your spiritual substance .... that you will fall prey to death again .... Your existence as a human being is an inconceivable grace, for everything that can lead you to final perfection is offered to you .... However, how you use this grace is determined by your free will, and this can only ever be stimulated or influenced but never be forced to aim into the right direction. Nevertheless, you humans should know how extraordinarily significant your life on earth is: consequently, the correlations will be explained to you time and again, the knowledge is conveyed to you either directly or through My messengers which intends to awaken your sense of responsibility. Time and again you are instructed through My Word, and you also hear the voice of conscience within yourselves. Even so, it is up to you as to what you make of this knowledge .... it is up to you as to whether you want to accept My direct revelations. Yet even My greater than great love cannot do anything more but to convey such revelations to you which inform you of the consequences of a correct way of life, of the reason and purpose of your life on earth and of My will, the fulfilment of which will truly guarantee you a life of blissful happiness .... But I cannot make you believe My revelations, for just as you once left Me voluntarily, just as you once voluntarily rejected My love, you must also return to Me voluntarily, you must voluntarily enter the circuit of My flow of love again .... you must want to be closely united with Me again and you will truly enter into eternal life, you will return to your Father again and be eternally happy ....

Jesus’ battle as a ‘human being’ ....

When I came into the world as a human being, the Deity in Me was tremendously active for I brought love with Me to earth, which permeated Me from the start and only applied to My eternal Father .... And thus extraordinary things happened at My birth which you present-day humans no longer want to believe but which provided the people around Me with the evidence that I was the announced Messiah. Thus I brought love along to Earth .... but I had to forfeit the light, for people would have been unable to endure its brilliance .... And so I had to start waging the battle with all immature spiritual substances which, by way of My body, harassed the soul, for I had to mature as a ‘human being’, since I wanted to show people the path towards spiritualisation, which can only be achieved by love. Consequently, I had to try to pacify everything of an immature nature pestering Me, through the love inherent in Me I had to try to influence it such that it would abandon its desire, that it would subordinate itself to the soul’s desire and thus spiritualise and unite itself with the soul while I was still living on earth. This battle was truly not an easy one, for the human nature within Me had the same craving, the same longing for fulfilment as is the case with all people and despite My origin from above My nature was no different than that of you humans .... The world and its enticements attracted Me just as much as you, only My soul distanced itself from it because, due to its indwelling love, it recognised the dangers these worldly enticements offered and because I knew what mission I had to fulfil as ‘Jesus, the human being’. Nevertheless, the body demanded its own and thus it was often an extremely difficult battle to comply with the soul’s desire and to firmly resist all temptations. Yet the ‘love’ in Me gave Me strength, love drew Me irresistibly to the Father and the Father did not deny Himself to Me, He permeated Me progressively more and became active in Me, the ‘human being Jesus’ .... I realised the extent of adversity suffered by the human race which lacked love and therefore lacked the strength to resist the same temptations .... I knew why people were lacking love and that they were ruled by the one who is entirely devoid of love .... Hence I tried to motivate people into living in love .... I exemplified to them a life of love and constantly instructed them .... I gave them the commandments of love for God and one’s neighbour .... I attempted to make them understand the consequences of a life of love and proved it to them on Myself .... I healed the sick and performed miracles, and I was able to do so because I allowed the strength of love to become active, for love is God, and thus God Himself worked through Me because He dwelled in Me as the ‘Eternal Love’ .... People lacked love when I descended to earth but I was permeated by it for I was faithfully and with love devoted to the Father, I had remained with Him when the host of originally created spirits deserted Him .... My love for Him was greater than great and I did not deprive Myself of it when I came down to earth ....

My whole way of life was a continuous activity of love .... so that the body soon subordinated itself to this love, that the soul embraced it and together with the body united itself with the Eternal Love in Me .... But it would be wrong to say that My earthly path had been less difficult as a result of My extraordinary abundance of love, because I was extremely strongly influenced by demons besieging Me, which clung to Me and tried to pull Me down .... and which I could not shake off because My ‘love’ in Me did not allow for it; instead, I had to pacify them and lovingly try to persuade them to let go of Me and also promised them My help to ascend from the abyss to higher spheres again. I did not want to chase these demons away by virtue of My inherent great power, consequently I suffered far more than you humans can understand, and only the immense strength of love enabled the accomplishment of My act of Salvation, otherwise I would have fallen prey to the demons Myself which, however, would never have been possible because love, the Father Himself, dwelled within Me .... You humans are supposed to follow Me, you should likewise start waging the battle against all unspiritual things in and around you .... However, you would be incapable of doing so of your own strength because you still lack love which increases your strength .... But now you can turn to Me with an appeal for an influx of strength and it will truly be given to you by grace of the act of Salvation which I acquired on your behalf through My death on the cross. Yet without Me you will not release yourselves from the opposing power, without Me your resolve is too weak and you lack strength .... I Myself waged a very hard battle against My adversary who wanted to prevent Me from accomplishing the act of Salvation but I won the battle though love and want to help you because you are too weak. For you live in an entirely unspiritual world, you live in the world of the fallen spirit and are held captive by its prince. But I have redeemed you from his power and thus you can achieve the same as I .... so that you will emerge victoriously from the battle against all worldly cravings, so that your body will spiritualise itself at the same time as the soul, so that they will unite themselves with the Father of eternity, because you no longer need to accomplish this act by yourselves, you need only come to Me in order to receive the strength to be able to take the path of return to the Father from Whom you once originated. And this influx of strength signifies that love will ignite in you and flare up into brightest radiance, that you bring everything of an unspiritual nature in you into order through love, that you can resist every temptation and that you thereby release yourselves from your opponent .... for then you will be on My side and I will truly liberate you from him ....

Amen

How to follow Jesus ....

He is My true follower who makes an effort to live on earth as I did, who stands firm in suffering, bears it with patience and perfects himself in love, for he will mature in his soul. I can only ever advise you to ‘follow Jesus’, for the man Jesus has taken this path on earth .... His life had truly been hard, yet He bore it humbly, He took up the battle against darkness, i.e., He tried to re-establish order and to enlighten people as to why they lived in spiritual darkness and what they should do to escape this darkness. He consciously walked the path of suffering and love .... And He shaped Himself such that I was able to take abode in Him .... And you should all walk this path and through love and sorrow try to shape yourselves such that I Myself, Who is the Eternal Love, can be present to you. You must follow Me, you must try to imitate the life I lived in the human being Jesus. And this first of all requires the will to unite yourselves with Me again .... Only love can accomplish this union, and suffering purifies your soul which still harbours many immature particles. It also spiritualises the body, so that it conforms to the desires of the spirit within you, so that it matures simultaneously with the soul and the union with Me can take place. This purification must come first, and for the sake of this purification you are living on earth .... And as soon as you take Me as an example your life on earth will not be in vain, it will take you to the goal: complete spiritualisation and unification with Me ....

A human being had to become an example to you or you would always have raised the objection that you cannot follow Me because it is beyond your ability, beyond your strength .... However, the path I walked on earth as a human being Myself was so arranged that every person would be able to follow Me. Nothing impossible is demanded of you, nothing is expected of you that a sinful person cannot accomplish, for I took all your weaknesses and faults into account, I identified Myself with every person’s inclination and circumstances .... for whatever they may be . . . if you live a life of love then you also gather the strength which lets you accomplish even the most difficult task .... You will grow above yourselves, for you receive the strength from Me, just as I, thanks to the love within Myself, also had the strength at My disposal which enabled Me to be victorious in the battle against darkness, in the battle against all temptations by My adversary and against all cravings of the flesh .... Love is strength, and therefore I first had to preach love and live a life of love Myself in order to set you the right example of the way of life which leads you out of the abyss towards the pinnacle, that liberates you from the adversary .... For love is the only weapon to which he succumbs. You have to follow Me if you want to become free from his control .... And neither can suffering be avoided if your soul is to become bright and clear which, in its human incarnation, is still full of impurities because it is still in the domain of the one who changed his nature to the opposite, who thus can be called ‘evil’ in the true sense of the word and to whose nature you conformed when you deserted Me and followed him into the abyss of your own free will ....

Admittedly, due to their process through the creations the tiny particles of soul have become much purer when they united again as the soul of a human being, but many impurities will still have to be removed, which can only ever be accomplished by love and suffering .... The forgiveness of your guilt of sin will indeed be guaranteed as soon as you acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ and appeal for forgiveness of it .... And that means that on your departure from this world you will find the gate to the kingdom of light open to you .... But the intensity of light that will then shine upon you is very different .... And you will be extremely happy if your soul can be completely permeated, if the light is not obstructed by any impurities which still have to be dissolved .... And because you can already achieve on earth that your soul will be bright and translucent at the time of its passing away from earth you shall also humbly and patiently endure all suffering on earth .... you always ought to bear in mind that it is only beneficial for the maturity of your soul, you should not try to evade all affliction and always pray ‘Father, Thy will be done ....’ For I know why I let you walk the path of suffering and why I spoke the Words ‘Follow Me ....’ If you always try to imagine that I have walked the path before you, which has been so much harder and more sorrowful than yours, then for love of Me you should accept everything I send or allow to happen to you, for that is the light cross you have to bear in your earthly life, which only ever benefits your soul ....

Renewed banishment is the reason for the unusual revelations ....

I Am revealing Myself in an unusual way before the end to you humans by conveying knowledge to you from which you should draw the consequences .... knowledge which so far had been withheld from you because it was of no significance for your salvation of soul, because you still had time to change your character and were also still able to achieve this in the beyond although under far more difficult conditions .... But it was still possible for you to be redeemed for as long the time you were granted for releasing yourselves from the form had not yet run out .... This time, however, is drawing to an end and that means either your return to Me or the renewed path through the creations of earth. But the knowledge about the latter has been withheld from you until now, for it would only have induced you to spend your earthly life under a certain amount of duress, which I, however, will not use for the sake of your perfection .... But now it concerns the human being’s last free decision, it concerns the soul’s salvation or its renewed banishment, because after the end of this earth higher development in the spiritual kingdom will become impossible for a long time to come, since the gates of this kingdom will remain closed until the new earth has again entered the state in which immature people will depart once more from this earth, in which case My merciful love will also want to help them attain maturity in the beyond again. Yet before this period of Salvation comes to an end I will still make use of all means in order to save you from the awful fate of a renewed banishment .... And therefore I inform you humans of the path you have already travelled before you reached your embodiment as a human being on earth. And My revelations are so unusual because most people are lacking this knowledge. But since the fate of a renewed banishment is only now becoming the imminent disaster .... since until now the opportunity still existed to mature in the kingdom of the beyond if it was neglected on earth, it was not necessary for people to know about the prior long process of development before .... although occasionally I was able to address people directly and so introduced them to this knowledge ....

However, now the time has come when people are in utmost danger but when it is still possible for them to avoid this danger if they have the serious will to endeavour towards a change .... And the knowledge about the process of development, of a repeated banishment in matter is intended to motivate them into this change of will .... This is why I reveal Myself in an unusual way, this is why I convey a knowledge to earth which can have tremendously beneficial results for people by just paying attention to it, by allowing My Words to take effect on them, think about them and then also live their life accordingly. But there are only a few who believe what is conveyed to them by extraordinary means .... And I cannot compel faith .... Therefore I cannot reveal Myself by any other means but through a human mouth either, for an enforced faith is worthless and will not result in the soul’s progress. But the fact that I Myself reveal My plan of Salvation to you is a significant light which you humans are still being granted .... If you want to live in this light you will definitely take the right path .... For although I speak through a human mouth it is nevertheless the evidence of My love .... if I send My Word directly to earth, it is the evidence of My presence, in other words: you can call it an extraordinary gift of grace if you are taught about things which are inaccessible to a person’s intellectual knowledge .... which therefore cannot be explained to you by other people if I Myself do not work extraordinarily in this person too .... Therefore pay attention to My unusual revelations, don’t discard them as human work but believe that it is only My love which wants to reveal Itself to you because I would like to save you before the end, because I want to spare you the fate of a renewed banishment which, however, is inevitable, if you do not believe ....

The grace of receiving the Word is a commitment ....

The grace of receiving the Word is a commitment .... on the one hand to distribute what comes to you from above, and on the other hand to endorse that which you recognise as truth towards your fellow human beings. It is futile if you, who receive the Word from Me, are satisfied with the information which is sent to you .... you should, with full conviction, pass this knowledge on to your fellow human beings who are in need of it. And you should not let yourselves be deceived by objections, for people will always do so, despite the fact that I Myself impart the pure truth to you which will always stand up to such objections. For this reason I need strong-willed servants who will stand up for what they receive .... And they will also always be able to clearly judge where error exists and therefore counteract it, because they are in My service and as My faithful servants in My vineyard are duty bound to do so. I convey the truth to earth because you humans are in need of light, you live in darkness because many fallacies were and are still offered to you .... Only truth leads to beatitude .... erroneous belief prolongs the path to the goal, for time and again it will obscure this path so that you humans will stray from the straight and narrow and require a long time until you get back on the right path towards ascent, on the path of truth, where the light is shining which I radiate down to earth for the sake of your benefit. Be glad that you may receive bright light and make use of this illumination .... Take the path that is shown to you, abide by My Word which sounds from above, which My servants convey to you on My instructions and which they can also justifiably endorse as pure truth because they have received it from Me .... And where you humans can recognise an obvious working of the spirit, that is where the pure truth from Me exists. And this is what you should adopt, but don’t mix it with spiritual knowledge whose origin is doubtful to you .... And because it is My will that the truth from Me shall remain pure I also expect those who receive it from Me to firmly endorse that which originated from Me, for they know that they are thereby of service to Me, because they recognise the extreme value of the information they receive through My spirit ....

Consequently, if the pure truth is in danger of becoming distorted it should be heedfully guarded, for My adversary avails himself of every opportunity which presents itself in order to render the truth from Me ineffective. And he succeeds in doing so as soon as different spiritual knowledge is added to it .... which was conceived by human intellect and which cannot be spoken of as the working of the spirit .... My Word should certainly be spread, but it shall be offered to people in all purity, just as it came forth from Me Myself .... And it is My servants’ task to ensure that this Word will remain pure, as far as it is within their power. For the seed shall not become contaminated because it is intended to bear good fruit. However, anyone whom I appoint to an office will also receive the strength from Me to administer it .... Hence, I will also guide you such that your attention will be drawn to where your work is needed, where you shall carry out your mission, and I will always guide your thoughts correctly so that you will work according to My will .... For receiving My Word is a grace of utmost significance, and anyone who wants to serve Me will therefore always have My support and at all times take the path which corresponds to My will .... I Myself will guide him, I Myself will turn his thoughts in the right direction, and I Myself will give him the strength to work in accordance with My will ....

Thought waves from beings of light ....
Spirit-Guides ....

I would like all of you to gain eternal life, so that you will be free from every physical form and can pass into the spiritual kingdom in light and strength and freedom. For My only goal is your eternal beatitude. And I will truly not rest in pursuing you and your love because only love will let you reach the final goal. Yet I will always allow you free will, and this is still refused Me because you lack love; for I Myself Am Love and if love is not within you I, Who would like to provide you with an abundance of bliss, cannot be present in you either. And as long as I Am still far away from you darkness will still be within you, for I Am also the Light of eternity Which has to shine brightly in you if you joyfully want to recognise yourselves and your origin. But as long as it is still dark in you, you are still being held captive by the lord of darkness who wants to prevent you from realising and striving towards the light .... Thus you are still under the control of My adversary from whom I, however, would like to release you yet will only be able to do so if you have the will to escape from him. Consequently, your will determines your fate, for your will has to decide for itself which lord it acknowledges; thus you have to make this decision yourselves as long as you live as a human being on this earth. But until then you are surrounded by shadowy beings which compete for your will and influence you in every way yet without being able to force you. However, you have a great gift of grace: you are able to think, and you need only to use this gift of grace correctly and for once try to ascertain the purpose and meaning of your earthly life .... In that case beings of light will certainly inspire right thoughts in you, since a desire for understanding will be judged as a desire for Me, Who is the Light and the Truth of eternity .... You are all capable of thinking but you rarely use this gift of grace in order to receive clarification about spiritual questions, which can only be given to you by beings of light who work on My instruction when you ask yourselves such questions ....

The spiritual beings will affect you such that thought waves will flow to you concerning questions of that nature .... If you reject them then illumination cannot be given to you; if you accept and contemplate them then you will also mentally receive the answer from these beings of light, and you will subsequently be able to make your own free decisions .... Therefore you can look for light and will find it .... but you can also shy away from light and remain in darkness .... But time and again light will be brought to you, time and again My love will pursue you and help you become aware of yourselves and then also find the path to Me .... But adverse forces influence you in the same way by encircling you with thought currents of an earthly nature, which the human being prefers to accept and ponder about .... for he is totally at liberty to accept or reject what mentally impinges upon him. The infinite patience of the beings of light, their great love for those who are unredeemed, will not cease, and time and again they will try to influence their protégés into listening to them, for they work on My instructions. The work they carry out in the spiritual kingdom is their redemption work, they are only the executors of My will albeit they are extraordinarily happy by being allowed to work for Me because they gladly subordinated themselves to My will, because in their state of maturity they have no other will but Mine, since they are permeated by My love and therefore their love also applies to the unredeemed .... to people who have been entrusted to their guidance and protection. For all of you have spiritual guides who accompany you from the time of your birth until your death and who fight for your souls against the enemy .... Yet your will alone is decisive which, however, will one day submit itself to Me with certainty, because it cannot resist the strength of My love forever ....

Taking notice of God’s plan of Salvation ....

The fact that I reveal My plan of Salvation to you should make you realise the significance of the time you live in. The knowledge I convey to you in all clarity is intended to give you an insight into My reign and activity, it explains to you the purpose of your earthly life, the meaning and purpose of creation .... this knowledge is so momentous and extensive that it could not humanly be offered to you .... such knowledge can only be imparted to you through the working of My spirit. The light I transmit to earth can shine exceedingly brightly and dispel the darkness if you humans are receptive to it, if you allow yourselves to be impressed by it as soon as I address you .... And the reason why I transmit this extraordinary knowledge is because you are approaching the end .... If you have been informed of My plan of Salvation you will also understand that one period of Salvation comes and must come to an end, for then you will only look at everything from the point of view that the fallen spirits must be given every opportunity to start the path of return to Me .... be it the human being or the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creations which, in their fundamental substance, emerged from Me as a being and shall also return to the Father’s house as a being again ....

Since you know My eternal plan of Salvation you will also know about the infinitely long process of development which the fallen spirits have to travel in order to ascend again .... In that case you will also mercifully consider those who have not yet reached the stage of a human being and which suffer in their constraints because they originally came forth from Me as a free spirit .... And you will also know that it is due to the human being’s free will if he fails during his earthly life, and that this free will therefore creates his own fate .... that his life on earth is unwarranted if he makes no use of his embodiment as a human being .... Hence you can understand that this spiritual being forfeits its own earthly life and that the termination of one period of Salvation is merely an act of love on My part, Who also wants to help the advancement of those spirituals substances who long for their final form so as to be able to release themselves for good by taking the final path across earth as a human being .... And I inform you humans of My plan of Salvation in the last days as a special grace because it will make it easier for you to believe in an end once you have correctly recognised the correlations .... For even if a thousand years are like a day before Me .... the last day which has been determined for eternity will nevertheless arrive sooner or later .... And then I will separate the sheep from the goats .... and those who are and remain faithful to Me will be saved, none of those need be afraid when the earth begins to tremble, for their life will be guaranteed for all eternity ....

Therefore, understand My Words correctly and don’t doubt Me and My Word, which comes to you from above announcing a near end to you and which will fulfil itself because it is the truth .... Those who take notice of My revelations should really find it easy to believe since you are aware of all the correlations .... For I have revealed My ‘plan of Salvation’ to you, you have received extraordinary knowledge to enlighten you, so that you will be able to believe .... You cannot persuade Me not to carry out My plan of Salvation, you cannot delay the day of the end because it has been predetermined for eternity .... But every one of you can belong to those to whom I have promised My protection if they remain faithful to Me .... you can belong to the few righteous people whom My arm will protect, whom I will lift away from earth when the hour has come which signifies the end for all creations on, in and above the earth .... For My might is great, My love is infinite and applies to all as yet unredeemed spiritual beings, and My wisdom truly knows when the time is right for a necessary change if the higher development is to continue in accordance with My eternal order .... And My love, wisdom and might will constantly be at work when it concerns the return of all fallen spirits who shall come home into My Fatherly house ....

The letter kills ....
Lifeless proclaimer of the Word ....

It is the spirit which gives life .... and every letter read with an unawakened spirit kills; it will remain incomprehensible to the human being regardless of how much effort he intellectually exerts in order to fathom its meaning .... And this has led to many errors, insofar as that My Word was translated or preached to fellow human beings by people who were spiritually unawakened themselves and who let their intellect dictate where the heart alone should have been able to judge or clarify matters had My spirit been allowed to express itself through it. I Myself was no longer able to speak to people through a preacher; instead he provided them with his own teachings and explanations which no longer corresponded to the truth. And thus the meaning of the Gospel, which I Myself taught on earth, became increasingly more distorted in due course, and only a few read ‘My Word’ with an awakened spirit and derive the right benefit from it for their souls. For all others, however, the strength of My Word remains ineffective, they listen to it, but because they don’t understand it correctly they don’t live accordingly and therefore cannot attain spiritual awakening either .... For rarely will preachers mention the ‘working of the spirit in the human being’ because they don’t understand it themselves .... because they don’t know that it is the direct result of a life of love and that they would be able to convince themselves that they become brightly illuminated if they lived a life of love themselves .... They read the sentence: The letter kills, but the spirit gives life .... and don’t know what it means .... for they are still spiritually unawakened themselves. And this is why one can almost speak of a dead Christendom, this is why My Word, which is contained in the Book of Books, does not do a lot for people anymore, this is why the faith has become faint and weak, it lacks the strength of life, for it can only come alive through love, and love awakens the spirit ....

And if only a tender seedling grows from the warmth of love, then it will soon become strong and vigorous .... A living faith will develop and everything will awaken to life which so far had lain dormant in the person .... The soul will arise and allow itself to be influenced by the spark of spirit, it will come alive and never ever lose this life again. But then the person will also understand every Word which originated from Me .... he will be able to distinguish error from truth and by no means fall prey to error, for then he will be instructed by the spirit and empty letters will mean nothing to him, he will know the spiritual meaning of the Word .... And every Word that once came forth from Me and reaches his ears and heart will grant him life. Then he will truly no longer be a dead Christian and also be able to vividly testify to Me, he will not just use the Words of the Scriptures but also be capable of clarifying their spiritual meaning .... he will in truth be a teacher of his fellow human beings in accordance with My will, for he then will let Me Myself be in him so that I can express Myself through the spirit when he instructs his fellow human beings .... And only those who work on My instructions are My true servants .... For I do not call a proclaimer of My Word who only knows the letters without understanding their spiritual meaning My servant .... because he has appointed himself and not made himself worthy of My calling first, which requires that a person wanting to work for Me is spiritually awake. Yet as soon as he not only teaches love, which is the epitome of My Gospel .... as soon as he also lives a life of love, he will also awaken the spirit in him to life, and then he will be a welcome servant for Me through whom I will be able to work, through whom I will be able to address people Myself who then can also perceptibly feel the strength of My Word .... And those who allow themselves to be awakened will come to life again, who look for Me with a sincere will and appeal to Me for the strength of My spirit .... For they will make an effort to live My Word .... by living a life of love they will awaken the spirit within them, they will no longer be lifeless proclaimers of My Word but full of life and bearing witness to Me ....

Space exploration is not God’s will ....

The strength which emanates from Me and My Word will touch your soul and you will find peace in Me .... When you are ready to serve Me then the strength to accomplish My will, which I place into your heart Myself, will also flow to you. And you will think, want and act in accordance with My will .... And thus you can always safely proceed on your way, My blessing will always accompany you, I will take you by your hand and guide you such as it is right for you and your fellow human beings’ salvation of soul. Just put your trust in Me and truly, I will never disappoint your confidence .... For even if your body does not feel the evidence of this strength but your soul receives it in abundance and is grateful for every support, the soul matures and unites itself with its spirit, and this strives towards the Father-Spirit, and the unity with Me will become ever closer. And if I Am then able to speak to My child My presence will be confirmed too and peace has to enter its heart, every worry has to vanish and the child only has to listen to what his Father has to say to him:

And I still want to reveal much more to you, for the end is swiftly approaching .... You will still experience things which will make you doubt Me and My Word .... You will ask yourselves why I do not intervene with My might when humanity arrogantly dares to penetrate the universe .... But a limit has been imposed on their projects, they will not be able to implement their experiments for long, for even these actions merely hasten the end, the forthcoming Judgment. (6.5.1961) I will let them have their way, so that time and again they will have to realise that their capability will never suffice to complete their projects. They have handed themselves over to My adversary who will constantly influence their mind and also give them a certain amount of strength which, however, will always have disastrous effects on people as well as the works of creation My adversary wants to destroy. It is the time of the end, which is merely emphasised by such actions, for people’s spiritual state itself will give rise to the end. My adversary wants to destroy the belief in My existence and My might, and such people are already subject to him due to the fact that they have lost all faith, deem themselves masters of creation and try to prove it. Yet they will not have much time left for that, because they hasten the end themselves since they revoke the laws of nature themselves and thereby pave the way for a work of destruction which will encompass the whole world and every living creation in, on and above the earth ....

People’s actions oppose God and that will also result in appropriate consequences .... But I allow My adversary’s rage, yet people themselves could resist it and would not need to become subject to his rule .... Time and again people are reminded of Me and My might and could quite easily take the path to Me .... Their will, however, is free and thus I do not prevent their actions, but My might and My will shall also reveal itself those responsible for the anti-God activity that can be witnessed by all people .... They, too, will repeatedly be shown that a divine Power keeps expressing Itself Which proves their wrong thinking, for until the body dies I invite every soul to return to Me .... but I will not force it. And since My adversary cannot force it either, he influences all bad characteristics in a person even more and gains the soul for his disgraceful plan, since the craving for power and recognition is particularly strongly developed in people who do not believe in Me. For they are My adversary’s characteristics .... It is his nature, which he passes on to them. But his time will soon be over, and My might, too, will soon visibly express itself .... Yet I will never give you such obvious proof of Myself that you have to believe in Me .... Time and again you have to bear in mind that I expect your voluntary faith which you should awaken through love .... And then you will also recognise the signs of the time; you will understand that you live in the last days when My adversary will work in unusual ways, until his hour has come when he and his followers will be constrained, as it is has been proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

True bearers of light ....
Deceptive lights ....

You will only ever be given light as not to be drawn into darkness again, for My adversary tries to prevent you from finding the light. I, however, have promised you an abundance of blessings during the last days to prevent you from weakening and falling prey to his deceitful games. For he works in the disguise of an angel .... He ignites deceptive lights which do not shine but blind the eyes of those who do not recognise him. However, in your struggle of resistance against him you often use the wrong means by closing your eyes instead of striving for the true light which flows to you as an obvious gift of grace .... you do not hold fast to My Word, the visible emanation of My love, which you can truly successfully use to oppose My enemy, for he cannot abide My light and takes flight .... My love proclaims love, and love in turn awakens the spirit to life. And thus you can always be certain that the spiritual information will concur wherever true love prevails .... where My spirit can express itself .... But then you discover contradictions .... False prophets will cross your path. They all want to proclaim My Word and you cannot find complete harmony .... taking you aback and making you question the working of the spirit in some of them ....

And then My adversary has already won his game, for the thoughts become confused, people lose their spiritual certainty, they no longer live in unison but in opposition .... Thus the light grows darker, that is, My Word from above will no longer be recognised, it will be neglected for the sake of untruth which, under cover of piety, is far more acceptable and agreeable to people who do not seriously scrutinise it. And then, again, it depends on the person’s degree of love whether he will set himself free from error, whether he will recognise it and voluntarily turn to the truth. The light shines in the darkness but it should not be concealed, it must be able to shine forth brightly which always depends on the will of the individual. And truly brightly shining light emanates from Me, from the Eternal Light. But I have only few bearers of light, people who are so permeated by their desire for truth that they are able to serve Me as vessels into which the truth can flow .... People who then will also pass on the light, who will not tire proclaiming the truth but who will also notice where error has crept in and try to expose it, so that their fellow human beings, too, will be able to enjoy the brightly shining light which alone can give them truth ....

I want the light to be spread, I want My Word to be brought to people and I will bless those who voluntarily render this service to Me by letting Me speak to them and then spread My Word throughout the world .... and all those who thus want to serve Me will also receive the same Word from Me and stand up for it .... They will also recognise where My adversary is at work who tries to cause confusion amongst My Own in the same way .... who wants to extinguish the light from Me and diminish its radiance for darkness to set in again. And evidence of the truth will be provided too. All I ask is that you humans believe in My Words from above, which time and again can be recognised as My Word by people of good will .... And keep My Word .... If it brings you light, if it clarifies what made you question until now, if it shows your God’s love, wisdom and might and you feel addressed by Me as your Father then you will also know that I speak to you Myself, and then you should believe unreservedly, for then I convey pure truth to you and this such that everyone can understand, that no one needs to speculate on the meaning of My Words ....

I speak clearly and simply to you humans so that you will truly receive light, so that the darkness of spirit will disappear, for I Myself Am the light of eternity. And since I love My living creations I also want to bring them the light which they had once voluntarily renounced but which irrevocably has to shine for you again if you want to find (and travel) the right path to Me into your Father’s house. Light can only come forth from Me, the Eternal Light. You should believe that your Father conveys the light to you Himself because you are in urgent need of it and because there is not much time left .... But you also have to willingly accept the light, you have to willingly listen to the bearers of light, you should know that they are enlightened themselves and thus also able to give you complete clarification .... And all of you will truly find the path to Me when bearers of light lead the way and you readily follow them ....

Amen

Perfection means conformity to divine will ....

A living faith can truly move mountains .... You would be able to be in command over all the elements of nature if you had this living faith .... You would be able to transmit your will unto people and animals if in living faith you wanted to relieve their earthly distress .... Then you would always work with My strength, for in living faith you are most sincerely united with Me and able to use My strength without limitation. But what does it mean to possess a living faith? .... To possess such a high degree of love it means that you are fully enlightened, that you know of all correlations and thus also know of your past nature, when you came forth from Me in an exceedingly powerful and perceptive state .... The knowledge you possess now .... having become love yourselves .... will not let you doubt anything because you also correctly recognise Me and My nature, which is love, wisdom and might in itself .... And since you once were created in My image you also realise that the same power is inherent in you when you are united with Me, or, because you are united with Me .... But then you will also use your power according to your inner realisation. You will never attempt to accomplish something that would not be in line with My will, for then your will is the same as Mine because you will have reached the light, the correct knowledge .... It is not possible to have a living faith without love .... Love, however, also ensures insight into My eternal plan of Salvation .... Love guarantees that you think and act correctly, that your will is in line with Mine, that you will not work against My eternal plan of Salvation if you have the right kind of realisation, if you live in the light of truth. For although you will possess a living faith which enables you to accomplish everything you will nevertheless not use your inherent strength of faith to work contrary to My love and wisdom .... for your will, which has conformed to Mine, prevents you from doing this, so that every deed of love for your neighbour accomplished by your living faith will also correspond to My love if it serves his salvation of soul.

For My goal is and will remain that My living creations shall attain beatitude, the maturing of souls, the return of the once fallen spiritual beings to Me. And My love and wisdom will only ever manifest itself according to this goal. And since I have always known people’s will My eternal plan of Salvation is based on it, and it cannot be revoked by people who still lack profound realisation .... If you want to be powerful on Earth and accomplish great things you must ignite the love within yourselves into a bright fire .... But this fire of love radiates brightest light, and in this light you will recognise Me and My nature, which is love, wisdom and might .... In that case, however, you will know about My goal and My extraordinarily wise plan of love .... And then it will truly not occur to you to work in opposition to this plan .... You would only ever try to influence your fellow human beings with love, so that they, too, will shape themselves to love, because you recognise that love is the only path to the pinnacle, to Me and to eternal life .... A living faith is the sign of a soul’s highly advanced maturity, of a high degree of love, which gives life to this faith .... And with such faith you truly can also move mountains .... But you will always act as one with Me because your love has closely united you with Me. And then you also know My will, you feel it in your heart and act accordingly. But this will can never be directed in opposition to My love and wisdom .... For no wrong will can take effect in you either, then you, too, shall only think and want as I do, then for you, too, only the spiritual being’s salvation will be important and you will want to help the souls which still linger in darkness. Earthly longings, however, will be alien to you and never prompt you into using the strength of faith ....

Whitsun experience ....

The event My disciples experienced at Whitsun can repeat itself with everyone of you, for I have promised My spirit to all people with the Words ‘I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth ....’. It was not merely a unique experience only intended for My disciples, instead, My spirit flows time and again to those people who make heartfelt contact with Me and appeal to My spiritual strength. And, in fact, everyone can feel the strength of the spirit within himself, as his thinking will become enlightened, everything that was previously incomprehensible will be understandable to him .... For My spirit grants clarity and light because it is a direct illumination from Me, Who is the Light of eternity.

Hence, the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples was not a unique experience, instead, this process was taking place for the first time, since prior to My crucifixion it was not possible for a person who had not yet found redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ to be imbued by My spirit .... As long as people were still afflicted by the original sin they were unable to establish this heartfelt bond with Me; the guilt of the beings’ apostasy from Me stood between Myself and each and every person, and it was impossible for My spirit to permeate a soul encumbered by sin.

Once the act of Salvation had been accomplished the path of return to Me was also open for every person .... From then on it was possible for every soul to so shape itself through love that the awakening of the spirit into life took place, so that the spiritual spark in the person strove towards the eternal Father-Spirit and the person’s heartfelt bond with Me enabled Me to pour My strength into him .... so that My spirit filled His soul and brightly enlightened him, teaching him from within in all truth .... so that the divine abilities, which laid dormant or buried within as a result of his past original sin, emerged again .... so that all these abilities became extraordinarily dominant and testified to his unity with Me .... so that they thus proved the divine nature of the one who had entered into unity with Me ....

Then the disciples were able to speak, for they were filled by My spirit; they were able to perform miracles, heal the sick and also have an insight into the spiritual kingdom .... Then they were true apostles of My Gospel for they recognised the truth within themselves, they were guided and impelled by My spirit to speak according to My will. They were permeated by the strength of the spirit, just as I previously promised that I will remain with My Own until the end of the world .... And this promise did not just apply to My disciples but to all people .... which this promise self-evidently shows .... I always wanted to please people, I always wanted to pour out My spirit, always convey the truth to them, which was only possible through My spirit .... Yet how rarely has My Word been understood, how rarely is this promise taken notice of, and therefore the outpouring of My spirit not aspired to either, even though everyone would be able to experience it ....

But I also linked it to the condition that you should believe in Me and keep My commandments .... for the ‘outpouring of the spirit’ is like a direct ‘revelation’. And I can only reveal Myself to someone who lives in love, who thus awakens the indwelling spirit to life .... Do understand that My spirit will guide you into all truth .... that I, the Eternal Love, reveal Myself .... that I convey knowledge to you and thus educate you from within .... And in this way I also instructed My disciples. I gave them the ability to understand everything I had previously told them, and then, according to this understanding, to proclaim Me Myself and My act Salvation to their fellow human beings, for they should be informed of My will and the cause of their wretchedness, as well as the goal I had set for their life on earth. Thus, they needed to know everything themselves in order to truthfully instruct their fellow human beings ....

And at present I likewise fill My disciples with My spirit again and send them into the world, because people shall know My will once more and everything that lays ahead of them .... The Gospel of love shall be proclaimed to them anew by My servants who are imbued by My spirit so that they can carry out the task I have allocated to them .... For it is the time of the end and people ought to know the truth, which only I Myself can give to them through My spirit, which permeates those who are willing to serve Me, and who I send into the world again before the end has come ....

Amen

The Father speaks to His children ....

O, if only you would comply with My message, if only you would accept My Word and seriously consider it in your heart and live accordingly .... Then you would surely experience the strength of My Words, you would become clearly aware that your Father, Who loves His children and only wants the best for their future happiness, has spoken to you .... Time and again I Am telling you that only My deep love for you prompts Me to speak to you, and that My infinite love is the reason for everything you see around you, for everything you experience .... And thus I repeatedly give you evidence of My love for you but you fail to become aware of it .... You demand other evidence in order to accept that My revelations are true .... Everyone of you wants to be spoken to himself and yet I Am speaking to all of you when My Word sounds from above.

But consider this: you originated from Me as My ‘living creations’ .... and as My ‘children’ you shall return to Me again .... You will have to accomplish this transformation into ‘children’ yourselves. And it is up to you yourselves if and when you achieve it. If you seriously intend to reach the goal during your earthly existence then you will accomplish this change of your innermost being, you will establish a connection with Me in your heart, and thus can also hear Me speak to you in your heart and be happy. Then you restore the right kind of relationship between a child and its Father yourselves, and then the Father will also speak to His child, the child will be able to hear its Father’s voice within itself and no longer doubt that the Father Himself is speaking to His child .... thus, this maturity is required by a person to whom I should speak directly ....

But mere words cannot prove this close relationship, and you should not only believe that you have shaped yourselves into ‘children’ but should endeavour to become your Father’s true children. The purpose of My message from above is to encourage My living creations to conduct themselves in a manner which turns them into true children, who fulfil their Father’s every will and to whom I can also speak like a Father to His children. My Word from above informs you time and again of My boundless love for you. My love is so immense that I bestow you with the undeserved grace to hear Me Myself although you have not yet achieved the degree of maturity to be worthy of it. But since My love to you has not diminished it overlooks your faulty condition and grants you grace in abundance. And you humans should deem the receipt of My Word as one such grace, by which I inform you that My Being consists of love, wisdom and power .... And whoever accepts My Word also knows that he is forever pursued by My love, that it cares for and protects him, that it will not let him go astray, and that it wants to prepare eternal happiness for him ....

Therefore he needs no further evidence of My love because his heart can feel it as soon as it has voluntarily opened itself .... And then the person also knows that he is and will remain My child, because then he constantly aspires to reach Me, because he reciprocates the love I give to him ....And subsequently he is closely united with Me .... But every formality is unfamiliar to him, his inner life is entirely spiritually orientated, the external life hardly ever affects him .... He will only emit love, and this is the sign of his soul’s maturity and not words and gestures which anyone can use even when the maturity of soul has not yet been achieved. For this reason you should never judge an external appearance either because it can conceal an inner life which you cannot see but which is known to Me at all times. Nor should you accept My Word with your intellect alone but accept it deep within your heart and it will work on and within you when you live in accordance with it and thus fulfil My will. Because the Word itself shall and will indeed convince you as soon as your will is turned towards Me, as soon as you sincerely aspire towards the Father, from Whom you once came forth ....

Amen

Light ....
Radiance ....
Wisdom ....

All those of you who want to work for Me, who want to participate in the redemption of the as yet enslaved souls, all those of you who want to serve Me during the last days before the end, listen to Me: The mission for which you voluntarily placed yourselves at My disposal is very important .... It requires much love and patience for your fellow human beings, it requires effort and perseverance and a helpful heart which recognises people’s hardship and would like to improve it .... And it requires great love for Me, because a person wanting to be of service to Me will only enter into My will if he totally hands himself over to Me and thereby also receives the strength to accomplish his mission. The goal is to convey to people the truth which can only come forth from Me and which is absolutely essential if the redemptive work is to be successful .... because the human being can only become aware of his own state when he receives the truth, because only then will he recognise the purpose of his life on earth and only the pure truth will enable him to gain a correct image of Me as his God and Creator, his Father of eternity. Humanity suffers great spiritual adversity, being kept in spiritual blindness by the prince of darkness they spend their earthly life in a lightless state, i.e. they don’t know the truth, they come to wrong conclusions and only regard life on earth as an end in itself .... There is such a pressing need for supplying the truth that I will bless every person who offers his service to Me, because I can only convey the truth through you to people who do not shape themselves in a way that they can receive it directly .... I need you to accept the truth from Me Myself and to carry it into the world .... However, only a few are capable of receiving the direct transfer of My Word which can claim to be truthful knowledge .... which provides people with clear understanding, with the knowledge they need in order to live an appropriate way of life that helps them to attain perfection on earth .... However, first they must be encouraged to live a life of love, because without love they will be unable to recognise the truth of subsequent knowledge .... Love comes first, and then love will also guarantee the understanding for all correlations, for My nature and My reign and activity .... This is why only a loving human being can accept this truth from Me .... I can only convey ‘truthful knowledge’ if the prerequisites have been met for receiving it directly .... But where this can take place, those of you who want to serve Me should congregate and accept the light which you shall then carry into the world .... Understand that it is truly light which is emanated by Me .... that it also contains radiance, that is, it will also be clear and understandable to those to whom you want to pass it on if only they are of good will .... Then I will also speak to these human hearts Myself through the Word you impart upon them and they will recognise it as My Word because it gives evidence of itself ....

Safeguard this Word from all impurities, do not mix it with human thoughts, emphasise it as My direct emanation of love and only ensure that it will be distributed .... For people’s spiritual state is such that only My direct address can still have an effect, that only the strength of My Word is still able to affect people’s hearts and lead to a change in their nature. After all, people also want to be allowed to use their intellect .... they also want to recognise wisdom when knowledge is presented to them as the divine Word .... They don’t want empty phrases but they also want to deal with the subject matter rationally, which is only possible if the pure truth from Me is presented to them .... For this reason I convey this knowledge to you humans, for this reason I inform you of My eternal plan of Salvation, this is why I try to clarify the meaning and purpose of earthly existence and to explain all correlations, so that you will be able to believe if you are of good will .... Hence I kindle a light in you Myself and only instruct you to serve Me as bearers of light by distributing this light and to keep fetching the knowledge from where I Myself send it to earth, where it is received by a tool which I recognised as being suitable for receiving the truth from Me so that it can subsequently emanate the light .... so that it will disperse the darkness the prince of darkness has spread across people. And by its bright and radiant shine you will also be able to infer the source of the light, for that which is emanated by the ‘Eternal Light’ Itself must also disseminate illumination and be recognisable as divine emanation. It must be profound divine wisdom, a knowledge which testifies to My love, wisdom and power and which comprehensibly informs you about My reign and activity so that you humans can convincingly speak of ‘divine truth’. And if you, My servants, want to do redemptive work then you should spread this divine truth, you should pass it on to your fellow human beings, you should impart the light upon others and thereby dispel the night which is no-one’s friend .... You should help to improve people’s spiritual state, to ensure that they can all be affected by the strength of My Word, which will truly not remain ineffective ....

Becoming God’s ‘children’ ....
Childship to God ....

At no time ever will I withdraw My love from you, even if you voluntarily stay away from Me ..... one day you will return to Me again because My love will not abandon you. And I will always also give you the evidence of My love, I will take care of and provide for you when you live on earth as human beings, because I want to gain your love which will unite you with Me again as in the beginning. Thus you should never doubt My love .... But your love determines the degree of your proximity to Me, it solely depends on your love whether and when the unification with Me will take place. And you demonstrate your love to Me by the degree of your neighbourly love, which you should constantly increase if you want to become perfect. And that, in turn, necessitates that you completely relinquish your selfish love, that you strive to become engrossed in love for your neighbour, that you unselfishly help your neighbour .... Then you will come ever closer to Me, for with every deed of love you draw Me to yourselves, you ascend with every deed of love and establish the bond with the Eternal Love .... Then I can be in you Myself, My love will be able to permeate you as in the beginning, you will have become and will remain My children for all eternity ....

And your purpose of earthly life is that you, who once came forth from Me as ‘living creations’, shape yourselves into ‘children’. Since you took the path through the abyss and became completely devoid of love as a result of your past apostasy from Me, it is a difficult task to shape yourselves of your own free will into love again.

It requires a strong will which has to be put into action. The strength to do so repeatedly has to be acquired through love or requested from Me through heartfelt prayer .... Hence it is not enough just to make declarations of love to Me, but it also requires deeds of love in order to receive this strength, but then it also results in a steady move towards Me.

As soon as a person voluntarily opens his heart in order to allow himself to be illuminated by the strength of My love his heart will be ever more willing to love, and one day he will achieve his objective: he will attain the childship to God as soon as his life is an uninterrupted activity of love in utter unselfishness ....

But only few will achieve this degree of love on earth, because a person’s own Self still comes first, because it requires great effort for the human being to give up all wishes and longings for the sake of the next person; since the soul has to purify itself completely during its earthly life, and this requires a high degree of love and frequently a considerable measure of suffering too, so that the soul is entirely purged when it departs from this earth. Then they will have matured into true children of God and have already found unification with Me on earth, they will have shaped themselves of their own free will into ‘children’, which I could not create for Myself .... But anyone who seriously strives for this, who time and again in profound humility pleads for My blessing, who already feels like My child, will not slow down in his endeavour and reach his goal ....

But he has to be filled by love for Me, not by the desire for utmost beatitude .... and his love for Me will then also constantly heighten the degree of neighbourly love .... However, he only demonstrates his love for Me through his neighbourly love .... I want to teach you all to become My children, and all of you should also feel as if you were My children, otherwise you won’t establish the right kind of relationship with your Father of eternity, from Whose love you emerged. You just should not forget that you are on earth in order to become My children, and that you therefore constantly have to make an effort .... But once you are My children then I can and will take you from earth, because then you will have achieved the goal for which I created everything .... utmost perfection in free will ....

I repeatedly have to bring this difference home to you in order to motivate you into utmost striving, for as long as you walk across this earth My adversary also has an influence on you, and as long as My adversary can still influence you he will also know how to stop you from becoming completely engrossed in neighbourly love, because as long as unspiritual substances are still in you, your body still has earthly longings, your selfish love has not yet been entirely conquered, and the human being still has to fight against these. But completely rising above them also ensures him a high degree of love, and then the unity with Me can take place, then the Father will draw His child to Him and will never ever leave it again ....

The end time justifies the gifts of grace ....

It is an unmerited act of grace that you humans may hear the Word from above, for in the time shortly before the end the human race will have reached a spiritual low level which will necessitate a disintegration of the earthly creation, a transformation and new embodiment of all still constrained spiritual substances as well as the souls which presently live on earth as human beings and, for the most part, are failing in their test of earthly life. People therefore don’t strive towards unity with Me of their own accord, they keep their distance from Me and, in their rejection, are not worthy of being spoken to by Me .... It is therefore an extraordinary grace that I nevertheless lean down and speak to people, that I also allow My Word to be given to those who keep away from Me. Hence I forget about their state of unworthiness, I pursue those people who turn away from Me precisely because the time of the end has come and because this end signifies a renewed banishment into matter for many human souls which I would still like to avert while there is still time .... I call and coax, I let My light ray of love shine in all places, I touch people’s hearts with this ray purely in order to make them come to their senses, accept and ponder My Words in their hearts and then live their lives accordingly .... I just don’t want them to go astray for an infinitely long time again .... And this great risk exists, for only a few people have a living faith in Me which will protect them from the downfall when the hour of the end has come. For this reason My love grants you this final gift of grace, even though you do not deserve it .... And you need only not reject it when My servants want to convey My Word to you .... Listen to them and reflect without inner resistance on what I say to you .... Then you will also be able to gain faith in your God and Creator which will not be a blind faith .... And soon you will feel My love in you as well, because you will not dismiss the impression of thoughts coming to you because you will sense that they correspond to the truth. Simply let go of your inner resistance and you will be saved for time and eternity.

Listen to Me .... and the strength of My Word will take effect in you, because My Word will illuminate you with divine strength of love .... You won’t hear empty human words when My messengers bring My gifts of grace to you .... Human words are easily discarded, but the Words of God exert an influence, provided that the human being does not fight this influence. Therefore I do not expect anything else of you than to listen to Me when I come to you Myself in the Words conveyed to you by My messengers .... I do not ask for anything other than that you do not turn away in indignation, but to think about it for once .... And I will truly help you to recognise the truth of My Word, your heart will feel addressed by Me and your thoughts will gradually turn towards Me, your resistance will grow weaker and the strength of My Word will begin to take effect in you. Simply surrender your resistance and, truly, I Myself will look after every individual person and convey to him Words of love and grace, Words of support and comfort, Words of wisdom, according to his soul’s need so that it will recognise Me Myself in the Words brought to people by My messengers. For verily, I say to you: it is the time of the end .... And time and again My love and mercy approaches you anew and wants to protect you from the fate of a renewed banishment when the end has come .... And therefore I will still shower you with My gifts of grace and will still try to gain anyone whose heart is not yet entirely hardened for Me and My kingdom .... I will try to reveal Myself to him as the most loving God and Father of eternity and he will truly be affected by the ray of My love. He will be able to recognise My Word as the Father’s voice Who wants to help His child, Who wants to protect it from the abyss, Who still wants to save it before the end has come ....

The significance of holy communion ....

How often has the significance of Holy Communion been explained to you already, how often has the offering of My flesh and My blood been described to you as the offering of My Word .... How often have I told you that I Myself Am the Word of eternity, that I offer Myself to you, that you eat My flesh and drink My blood when you accept My Word in your heart .... Your soul needs nourishment which will help to heal and strengthen it, since prior to that it is sick and weak .... It must be fed with the bread of heaven and be given the water of life. It needs healthy nourishment which only I Myself can administer, for it must be spiritually fed, it must accept food from the spiritual kingdom. And this is why you must partake of the Supper at My table with your host, Who invites all of you to come to Him and let yourselves be fed by Him. Your soul shall receive bread and wine, My flesh and My blood is the proper nourishment, and thus it accepts Me Myself when it accepts My Word which I Myself convey to the soul from above. For regardless of whether I speak to it directly or whether it accepts My Word through My servants .... I always break the bread Myself, I always give the water of life Myself, and then it will always partake of My Supper at My table, which is richly laden so that no soul wanting to be My guest will lack nourishment. Yet by this I do not mean an outward practice, I Am not satisfied with the fact that you perform external rituals and acts in the belief that I Myself will then be within you, that you unite yourselves with Me when you take part in the ceremonies which you understand as the Lord’s Supper, as Holy Communion .... They will only ever remain mere external acts and rituals if you do not wholeheartedly desire to hear My Word, to be addressed by Me .... if your soul does not hunger and thirst for the bread of heaven and the water of life: for My Word ....

For I Myself Am My Word, and only when you are seized by great longing for My Word can you say that you intimately unite yourselves with Me and take Supper with Me, for only then will I be able to offer you bread and wine .... My flesh and My blood .... Only then will you have come to My table in order to take Supper with Me, then you will receive Me Myself, as I have promised .... I Am the Word .... And the Word has become flesh .... And thus you should understand My Words correctly which I spoke on earth ‘Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life ....’ Only the person who hears My Word and allows the strength of My Word to affect him can attain eternal life, for his soul will heal, it will mature fully, through My Word it will know My will, and My Word will provide it with the strength to live in accordance with My will .... hence it will not just hear My Word but also live it and gain the true life, which it will never be able to lose again .... And because I know how urgently you humans need nourishment for your soul I send My messengers into the world and invite everyone to come as guests to My table and take Communion with Me .... And no-one will need to leave My table hungry, for it is richly laden for all those who come to Me with the desire to receive food and drink from Me .... I have wholesome food and a health-giving drink waiting for all of you, but you must come to Me yourselves, hunger and thirst must drive you to Me, then your soul will receive refreshment; time and again it will fortify itself anew for its pilgrimage on this earth, it will not exhaustedly fall by the wayside, for time and again it will be offered nourishment as soon as it desires it, as soon as it closely unites with Me and requests to be fed by Me .... I Myself will come to you, I will knock at the door of your heart and with anyone who willingly lets Me in I will indeed take Holy Communion and he with Me .... However, do not believe that you can find Me where only outward formalities are being observed .... where you close your ears to My Word which comes to you from above, for anyone who does not listen to My Word does not listen to Me Myself either; anyone who rejects My Word rejects Me Myself and his soul will remain without nourishment. It will have to starve and enter the spiritual kingdom in an immature and poor state when the hour of death arrives ....

Doctrine of damnation is misguided teaching ....

Do not fear to become lost when you carry Me in your heart .... do not believe that an avenging God will punish you for your sins, that He has no mercy, that He will condemn you forever .... I Am a God of love and mercy, and will always help you to ascend from the abyss into which you plunged yourselves of your own free will. As a result of your sins you have placed yourselves into a wretched state; you created the state of suffering you find yourselves in .... Yet I will always support you to find your way back out of the abyss, time after time I will help you to become blessed again as you were in the beginning. You wanted the evil yourselves and drew it close to you, the effect of your past voluntary aspiration and action could never be happiness but has resulted in a miserable state ....

But your God and Father loves you because you came forth from His love .... and this love will never cease. Hence it will always endeavour to encourage you back, it will do everything to grant you a blissful fate, but it does require your free will. Since you once left Me voluntarily, since you once burdened yourselves with a grave sin, you also have to return to Me of your own free will again, you have to realise your guilt, you have to regret it and ask Me for forgiveness .... and everything will be as it was in the beginning, you will be blissfully happy in your relationship with Me .... Thus you may always believe in a God of love and mercy .... for although I Am also a righteous God I will nevertheless not leave you to your self-chosen destiny or inflict punishments on you .... It is therefore wrong to say that I condemn you for your sins .... instead I meet this attitude with the act of My love and compassion: My sacrificial death on the cross on behalf of your sins. If I wanted to condemn you eternally for your past guilt of sin My act of Salvation truly would not have been necessary. But I gave you the proof of My love and mercy .... I sacrificed Myself, I died for you, I surrendered My life on the cross for your guilt of sin ....

From this alone you can see that the doctrine of eternal damnation is a misguided doctrine, because My act of Salvation proves the opposite .... it gives evidence to you of a God of love and mercy, Who sacrifices Himself in order to redeem your guilt, Who therefore will not ever eternally condemn you .... A punishing God is not the true image of Me and My Being, I Am love and will never plunge My living beings into even greater misery than they already experienced through their apostasy from Me .... I want to regain them and therefore took their guilt upon Myself in order to redeem it, because I took pity on the destiny of the fallen souls and I wanted to help them to ascend.

But the living creation .... the human being in the last stage on earth .... can also refuse to accept My mercy and remain obstinately far away from Me, then he will stay wretched indeed and create his own fate of damnation which, however, he can stop at any time by merely approaching Me, by acknowledging My act of Salvation and by calling upon it .... He will always find in Me a loving Father Who wants to help His child, Who Himself longs for His child and will at all times support him .... He merely respects the free will of the child and does not force it to return. But then it will suffer an unhappy fate until the voluntary return to Me has taken place ....

I AM a God of love and mercy .... But righteousness, which is part of My perfect nature too, does not permit Me to provide you with a blissful fate since it was your own fault that you became sinful .... You first have to accept the atonement of your guilt through My salvation, you have to acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ and want to belong to those for whom I shed My blood on the cross .... And truly, you will no longer speak of a God of wrath, Who condemns you mercilessly .... You will experience My love on yourselves, for He Who took your past guilt of sin upon Himself and atoned it, wants to unite with you again and permeate you with His strength of love, and you will be and remain blissfully happy for all eternity ....

Amen

Transformation from death into life ....

I guide all that is dead into life .... For the origin of everything in existence was life .... It was a state of constant activity in light and strength, for the strength of My love .... the foundation of everything in existence .... also permeated that which emerged from Me as a being, and this strength had to become effective in continuous activity. This activity consisted of constantly creating; however, the kind of creations cannot be explained to you since they were spiritual creations which your still limited thinking is unable to grasp. But it was active, and this activity was the evidence of ’life’ .... When the beings turned away from Me, when they opposed My strength of love, they gradually fell into a state of inactivity, and thus their state of life became a state of death ..... They hardened within their substance and became immobile, rigid and incapable of all activity .... But then they could no longer be called happy .... And countless beings are still in this state of death, which once came forth from Me in all perfection, which were abundantly happy because they were able to be effective in light and strength without restriction .... but which nevertheless voluntarily gave up their perfection when they opposed Me and rejected My illumination of love, when they followed My adversary .... who, as My first-created being, also detached himself from Me .... into the abyss. Hence their state of life became a state of death .... However, I will not leave them in this state forever, I will try to bring the dead back to life and will not rest until I have reached My goal that everything which had once fallen away from Me has returned to Me .... until it has come alive again. But this process of return to Me will take an infinitely long time, which certainly will come to an end one day but the duration of it is determined by the being itself. For I have to take free will into account, which is the possession of every being as a sign of its Divinity and which therefore also determines the form and duration of the process of return. Everything you see around you, thus every work of creation, only emerged for the purpose of this process of return, for I devised a plan of Salvation which My love and wisdom recognised as successful and which is implemented by My power. I want to bring everything that is dead back to life.

And that means that all that which is rigid, all that which is incapable of activity, must gradually be allowed to become active again. But this is now decided by Me Myself, because I restrained the formerly rebellious will for a certain time of higher development so that it slowly returns to a state of ’life’ although in a state of compulsion .... i.e., during this time it has no free will, but has to move according to My will, in order to then, after an infinitely long path of development, reach a state of free will once again. And this process of development involves passing through all creations on earth ..... it is a process which becomes understandable to you if you imagine that every work of creation is animated by individual substances of soul, which formerly belonged to the once fallen being and which, in its dead state, was dissolved into countless tiny particles, which thus carry out their designated task within the creations according to My will .... according to the divine law of nature .... You humans are only intended to get a rough idea of what Creation fundamentally consists of .... you should know that it did not arbitrarily arise without meaning and purpose but that it has a tremendously significant purpose indeed: to contribute towards awakening all that which is dead into life .... For that which once deserted Me were beings which I externalised as images of Myself, which I wanted to make supremely happy and, at the same time, find My happiness therein as well .... They had been My love’s living creations, which I will never abandon and which I also want to help out of their self-inflicted state of death, which I want to guide into everlasting life .... And since My love for My once created beings has not diminished I will not slacken in My efforts to bring these dead creatures back to life. Yet one day they will also receive their free will again, and then they will have to complete the work of My love themselves ..... They must strive towards Me again of their own free will, just as they once turned away from Me .... Thus they must choose a state of life themselves, for their final perfection is not determined by My but by their will. And if this will fails, then the being itself will indeed extend the duration of its state of death, but one day I will reach My goal with certainty, for I will leave nothing in a state of death which once emerged from My love into a free life in light and strength .....

Amen
