New Year's message: People's resistance against God ....

People's resistance to Me is great, and only My greater than great love saves them from a complete fall into the abyss. Yet the distance from Me cannot be reduced as long as they don't give up their resistance. But resistance is every rejection of My grace, and grace is everything that leads you upwards, towards Me, and thus helps to restore the original state. Hence grace is also the supply of My Word which imparts the pure truth to you, a knowledge which helps you to recognise Me, to love Me and to keep My commandments. The human being must accept this knowledge otherwise he will receive a wrong image of Me as Creator and Father from eternity. Lack of knowledge impairs love for Me, and wrong knowledge leads away from Me ....

This must be said first if the human being is to understand that and why truth is extremely important for the soul's higher development. Where truth is not represented the path to Me is blocked, and I cannot be reached through error, and thus it will also be understandable that I bestow a special gift of grace upon the human being: My direct Word from above, because every misguided teaching has to be corrected if he is to progress in his development, for I Myself, as the eternal Truth, cannot tolerate error and lies to walk alongside Me.

And therefore I must first correct the erroneous teachings, and I only require people who place themselves at My disposal of their own free will, who are willing to accept My teaching in all purity and pass it on to their fellow human beings. I convey My Word to them in different forms but always with the same content; whether they receive it directly from Me or through intermediaries, whether they read it or hear it, depends on their state of maturity and their willingness to receive it.

This is why My Word can be received in all purity in many places, for the written Word can also impart the same knowledge to a person if he receives it into his heart and memory in desire for the truth. Then he will always be guided by My spirit into right thinking and thus stand in truth. But where the human being's will opposes Mine, where the human being does not surrender to Me but, as it were, wants to find the truth out of his own intellect, then it will be difficult to offer the truth.

But the resistance against Me is great, for all those who persist in their spiritual knowledge, who stubbornly cling to a body of thought that was brought to them from outside, offer this resistance because they are not willing to surrender this body of thought in exchange for better knowledge. And so the question must first be asked: What entitles you to regard just this other spiritual knowledge as truth, when different schools of thought, different denominations also represent different teachings? On serious reflection you must admit to yourselves that you have no proof of possessing the right knowledge .... unless you can prove a direct working of the spirit which, however, will then always result in the same thought material.

The fact that you were taught in this way is no proof that the truth was imparted to you .... You must always bear in mind that the human being stands in free will and that, as long as he is still imperfect, he will, through the adversary's influence, profess more and more that which corresponds to his imperfection, that he must therefore either be perfect ...., in order to stand in the truth, or else, in awareness of his imperfect state and his ignorance as a result of it, he must stretch out his hands from the depths towards the light, towards the original source of truth, so that his hand may be grasped and he may be drawn up into the kingdom of light. He must ask and allow himself to be given .... but not inquire and ponder intellectually without the humble admission of his inability to do so.

Mankind is too convinced that it stands in the truth, and therefore it is difficult to supply it with the pure truth. Every thinking person, however, would have to doubt his own knowledge due to the diversity of what is regarded as truth and would therefore have to seek the truth where it originates. I now meet people's needs by sending bearers of truth to them, yet they find open and hidden resistance .... But how do you want to come into possession of the truth? In what form shall it be offered to all those that it will be accepted without affecting their free will? It is only due to your resistance, which I do not break by force but which is nevertheless to blame for the great darkness spread over the earth.

By force I could certainly achieve everything, yet in all freedom you must strive for perfection, and therefore there will only ever be a few people to whom I can directly convey the pure truth, just as the number of those who accept the Word from above through you will not be great, although My flow of love flows in all directions and the truth tries to find entrance everywhere in some form or other. And mostly it is spiritual conversations which could give rise to pleading thoughts of the eternal truth. And no one will be able to deny having had the opportunity for spiritual conversations. It always depends on the inner resistance, which is often opposed to the pure truth through the influence of Satan. But the desire for Me and thus for the truth breaks the resistance and makes the human being able to accept My Word, through which he is instructed in the truth ....

Amen
