God makes Himself manifest in the Word ....

In an unmistakable way God's activity becomes apparent as soon as the spiritual need of humanity requires it. God is a God of love, He eternally does not separate Himself from His living creations, to whom He has given a free life which, when used correctly, brings them the highest freedom and perfection. However, as soon as they are in danger of losing this free life, as soon as they enter a state which means for them to sink into complete bondage, God Himself will obviously confront them, yet only recognisable to the one who is of good will ........ He does not touch freedom of will but seeks to arouse its will .... And thus God will be recognisable to some people but remain unrecognisable to most because they lack the will to do so.

God does not abandon His creations to their fate as soon as weakness of will has brought them into spiritual adversity, however, every individual person is the shaper of his future life according to his will. It can be a life in fullest freedom and highest bliss as well as a life which can rather be called death, in bondage and greatest torment. God's love wants to avert the latter and therefore appears wherever there is still the possibility to change a person's mind. And it manifests itself in various forms, depending on the human being's degree of development and maturity.

The eternal Deity manifests Itself, however, only to profoundly devout people for whom this manifestation no longer signifies a compulsion to believe ..... However, It also expresses Itself perceptibly where faith is only weak, and it is up to the person himself how he evaluates this .... He only needs to believe that God's love does not leave any creature in spiritual hardship, then God's diverse activity will also become explainable to him, and then every extraordinary phenomenon will gain significance. And thus He also reveals Himself to people in the Word, which He Himself conveys to people in an extraordinary way ..... This is a process of such far-reaching significance that it has to be explained over and over again.

God speaks to people, and this in fullest truth .... Man, however, has never been content with His divine Word but has tried to add to it on his own initiative, and the consequence of this was that the pure Word of God, as it was originally given by Him, was interspersed with human words which were certainly added in the best sense but always compromised the purity of the divine Word. People of unenlightened spirit are unable to separate the pure Word of God from the additional work of man, and thus it is always a danger to them if they are not assisted by enlightened people, whose first task it is to clarify uncertainties, to refute erroneous teachings and to peel out the divinely pure Word if contradictions arise.

For God, as the eternal Truth Himself, is not pleased with error and lies, and time and again He seeks to substitute truth for them. Time and again He conveys the pure truth to willing earthly people who willingly offer themselves to Him for service, He comprehensibly and patiently informs them about questions which are still unresolved or give rise to different opinions. He trains those servants so that they speak in His place where it is commanded in order to spread the truth. Thus He obviously expresses Himself, for He visibly lets a work come into being which informs people of His love, His activity and His wisdom ..... He makes this work accessible to people and thereby gives them grace upon grace ....

However, the human being's will remains free, he is not forced to acknowledge this divine truth as such; however, he only derives grace and blessings from it if he faithfully accepts what is offered to him in love. His will determines, but not God's will .... consequently, the human being's will also determines his future state, his life in eternity .... whether this is a happy life or spiritual death for him ..... God's will is never the determining factor for the human being's course of development and degree of maturity, but solely the human being's will. The divine will certainly guides him towards all possibilities which are favourable for spiritual progress, but the human being must evaluate them himself in free will, he is by no means compulsorily driven to do so, but only guided in fatherly love as soon as he allows himself to be guided.

An extraordinary opportunity to mature is offered to the human being in the acceptance of the divine Word, thus this is a gift of grace from God which can bring him the greatest success if he uses it. Thus the will must first become active again if God's grace is to take effect in him. And in order to stimulate this will God appears in an extraordinary way by revealing Himself to people in a way which deviates from the everyday .... by eliminating a person's intellectual thinking and yet writing down spiritual wisdom which announces God's will and is intended to help people to lead a way of life according to His will.

Depending on his faith, the human being will draw blessings from these proclamations, especially in the last days when this divine Word alone will give people strength and comfort and is a sure proof of God's dwelling amongst people. And thus God visibly manifests Himself through His Word, He speaks to them, audibly by all who are enlightened by His spirit because they love Him, desire the truth and also consider His working possible, for these will listen inwardly in silence and receive God's grace and become partakers of its blessings because free will decides to accept it and thus allows the divine grace to be effective. And it is these who acquire the kingdom of God, who enter the kingdom of light after their death, into eternal life, which means unceasing activity and undreamed-of bliss in the proximity of God ....

Amen
