Feierstunden
The participants in the Feierstunden do not form any special, much less elitist, community; rather, they are a circle of believers who have dedicated their lives to Jesus Christ. Anyone who is likewise minded may join them and attend these Feierstunden. The words of our heavenly Father are, of course, not meant only for those present, but for all who carry in their hearts a genuine longing for and true love of Jesus Christ, who have let Him into their lives and follow Him in word and deed.

Universus Gatherings in Ebikon (Switzerland) 2023/24
Talk by Samuel
The path to spiritual rebirth is the path through the ages; it is nourishment from the tree of knowledge. With our birth into the Spirit of God we enter the eternal present, and from then on we nourish ourselves from the tree of life.
This Spirit is the life and love of God. And since God is life and love, we are penetrated by God Himself and divinized. Only then are we true children of God, and only then can we enter the innermost part of God’s temple, which is His heart and is the New Jerusalem. Thus only perfect life can enter divine perfection, which in turn means that Jesus Christ must have risen within us; otherwise we cannot partake of it.
Since spiritual rebirth is difficult to accomplish during earthly life because of the burden of the body and satanic delusion, heavenly preparation usually takes place only after leaving the body, in the regions beyond. Often a thorough purification must still occur, challenging a person to lay himself completely bare before God so that, in His light, he may become aware of the dark fields within himself and then cleanse them with His help. Not infrequently, in children of God it is only a small spot they could not overcome during earthly life: a field of self-loving thought, a part of the soul bound to matter, a final false love whose continued existence ultimately prevents divine union. Only when this is released for God, when this last bond is surrendered, can a heavenly union take place. Yet because we are now in the special time of the Earth’s transformation toward the new Kingdom of Peace, special conditions prevail on every level of earthly existence, both in the material and in the spiritual realm.
This means that not only is darkness increasing ever more, but also, and above all, the divine influx. This extraordinary grace makes it possible for those who have opened their hearts to Jesus Christ to undergo at least a partial birth into the Spirit of God much more quickly than ever before, and already in this earthly life. Partial means the release and manifestation of our spiritual talents, which we need and use as workers in the vineyard of the Lord in order to act divinely. This is an unequivocal statement of our heavenly Father.
What does He require for this? Surrender and faithfulness. But how do we come into that faithfulness and surrender which raise us to the state of true and living childship of God, so that divine perfection can come upon us already in the earthly body? It requires the unconditional faith that we can truly be reborn here and now in the Spirit of God—and we must genuinely want it as well.
It is a trap of Satan to think that this is possible only for chosen individuals. The Father wants to fill His children of the heart, whom He is now bringing together all over the world, with His Holy Spirit now and soon. That is why He sent us into this time: we are to form the body of Jesus Christ; in our common birth into the divine Spirit we form His body, in which He enters this Earth. He enters this Earth in the spirit of His children; this is His first return for the world.
The first commission of the prophets, therefore, is not to proclaim Jesus’ return to those who are called, but His presence, for He has already come for us and to us. The body of Christ must be complete; for this purpose and toward this end we are now being trained. Only in their second commission will the prophets assume their public ministry and warn humanity without reserve of the divine judgment it has prepared for itself.
It is therefore not enough merely to believe in Jesus as Redeemer; there must be an active surrender that goes far beyond the intellect, into a certainty that love alone can give us. In this we are spiritually reborn, baptized with the Holy Spirit, as once happened with the apostles, through which they became bearers and revealers of this Spirit, who enabled them to cast out demons, heal the sick through the word, and awaken both bodily and spiritually dead people to life. This Spirit opened to them the mystery of creation. This Spirit gave them power to touch and penetrate people’s hearts with the word of God so that they could enter into the love of our heavenly Father. This Spirit made them one with the heart of Jesus.
What else do we need for divine birth? The awareness that Jesus has already come for us and to us is a prerequisite for receiving the Holy Spirit. A further prerequisite is recognizing that every day, in our imperfection, we are permitted to live within God’s perfection, for as children of God we are enveloped in His perfection. This means that we may live continually in God’s forgiving mercy and that everything which makes up and determines our life passes first through His heart before it touches and affects us.
Our faith determines the degree of access divine authority has to our lives. We experience God’s perfection when we surrender ourselves completely to Him, when in our imperfection we consciously and trustingly enter anew each day into His perfection that surrounds us. This is possible only in unrestricted love for Him. This leads us to the decisive question: How does one love God in such a way that one is inevitably penetrated by Him and thereby reborn? The Father Himself wants to answer this for us…
Prayer and Word of the Father
Dear Jesus, open our hearts to Your love, open Your heart to us, each day anew, so that we may recognize what a loving and gracious God You are. We are Your thoughts set free, whom You want to raise to gods; this great grace You have prepared for us in eternity fills us with love and gratitude.
Even though we now move here in the body of flesh and it is not easy for us to endure on this Earth, we nevertheless have the certainty that You guide us, that You are our home, that You are our life, and that in eternity we may be together with You, in ever greater love, in ever deeper wisdom—that is what You have prepared for us.
Jesus says: “And so I come to you, My children. The words I give you I also place in your hearts, so that they cannot be lost. The light I give you comes directly from My heart. Your community now forms an island of love, an oasis of peace that shines out into the world. The light from My heart flows to your hearts and forms a circle among you, from heart to heart, and raises you into My Spirit.
I have brought you together so that you may recognize what love means. Love cannot be thought; love can only be lived. Love cannot be grasped with the intellect, for love dwells in the heart—you know this. Yet it is not always easy for you to walk this path of love, from the intellect into the heart. Nevertheless, you always have the possibility of revealing Me to the world by walking at My side, by speaking with Me already in the morning these words:
‘Dear Father, lead me through this day, remain with me, I need You; as Your needy child I need Your protection. I need Your presence in dealing with my fellow human beings. And if I let You work through me, my Father, then let me see how You act, let me recognize Your love in Your action through me, and take me with You into the heart of my neighbor, where redemption takes place.’
This is how you should pray, My children. A conversation as with a best friend, a brother. That is why I assumed this form, so that I might be an approachable God for you and not an inaccessible One.
My children, in this time there is also a great danger for you, and it lies in your free will. For the possibility of temptation must always exist, the possibility that you turn away from Me—or prove your faithfulness to Me. In distance from God you recognize your lostness; you feel that without Me you cannot carry out an existence worth living on this Earth. And in this awareness, in this love for Me which unfolds because I kindle your longing in every situation of your existence, you come ever closer to Me and recognize My love in its depth.
And you may calmly imagine that I come to meet you, that our eyes meet, that we embrace, that our hearts meet. You can feel this embrace in the soul. For what you imagine happens in the spiritual world. I am manifested everywhere; I am present everywhere in the Spirit, in the spiritual body. And so you can go through the day in the awareness that I accompany you as a Person.
My children, a difficult time lies ahead; much will happen on this Earth in the coming years. You can pass through this time unharmed only at My side, in My presence. Some of you I will call home in the coming years, and as I have often emphasized, so I say now as well: regard death as a liberation from the flesh and not with the eyes of the world, in which it appears as a terror. Worldly people are filled with fear and anxiety by it, but you should look forward to that moment with joy.
Yes, everything has its time, and some of you I will lead into the new time. For the hour has come: the Kingdom of Peace has already taken shape in the spiritual world; it will clothe itself with matter and manifest on this Earth. It will be a time full of joy and love, for I will walk among My children. Yet it will also be a time of renunciation, for the comforts of this world as it now exists will no longer be present.
Those whom I call home will also share in this kingdom, for they will see what happens on this Earth and will assist their brothers and sisters.” (The Father said this because some brothers and sisters thought that if they were called home, they would have no share in the Kingdom of Peace.)
“This is what I give you first. I will be with you on this day. I will touch your hearts in conversation. Open them to Me, and you will gain greatly. Amen.”
* * *
Jesus says: “My children, whom I have called together here, you who are gathered to receive My love: open your hearts to My word so that it may blossom within you in the rays of eternal love which I now send you from the innermost depth of My heart. Yes, I am ready to fill you with My Spirit, but are you also ready? Are you ready to acknowledge My presence in this room, to believe that the true and only God considers it worthwhile to draw so near to you and to reveal Himself to you now?
Truly, in My spiritual form I stand in the midst of your false ideas and doubtful thoughts, in the midst of your conceit and hidden pride, with a heart full of love, gentleness, and mercy.
For I have called you by your names and called you to become true children of God, which you should be but are not yet as you could and should be. The possibility of following Me is a supreme good, My children, whose significance is not yet clear to you.
See, this earthly life of yours offers you the possibility of completing the circle of your life and entering again into My Spirit of love, into My heavens. You have passed through eons in order to reach this point of your existence at which reunion with Me can and should take place.
Yes, you went into a foreign land in order to recognize and experience transience and death, and within them to recognize the value of divine life in Me. Thus your longing was kindled; thus you felt the pull within you toward Me and set out to seek Me in many different ways.
Now, I have guided your paths in such a way that you now find yourselves here in My presence. I once promised you this before you became earthly human beings, and I have kept My word, as you see and hear.
Now I remind you of your promises. Your words were these: ‘Dear Father, please guide me so that I do not become lost, but find You in the jungle and labyrinth of this earthly world. And when I have been permitted to find You, I will dedicate my life to You, will serve You with complete surrender, and love You with all my soul and all my heart. But please, never leave me.’
Yes, My children, that is how it was. Now that I tell you this, those words of yours from long ago awaken again in your soul, in your hearts. This causes your longing and love for Me to increase and become more truthful. For with these words I touch you in your innermost being in order to give reality to your partly doubtful faith, to fill you with truthfulness and with eternal life from Me. Feel now the Spirit of truth descending into this room, for now there is light in darkness and love fills your being: redeeming Father-love, love that died for you on the cross in order to make resurrection from death possible for you, here and now and forevermore.
Amen, My children, Amen. It is I who speak to you, Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Dear heavenly Father, I ask You for a word for our brothers and sisters in Switzerland, so that they may experience Your blessing and Your love in the word.
Jesus says: “My peace be with you—with these words I bless you, My children; I bless this circle of yours, bless your souls, bless your hearts. From My heart I speak these words to you, and the spirit of My words is life and is love, and all of it together is I as God Almighty, who rules the universe from the smallest atom to the greatest sun, and I am Father to My children, who went into this world in order to serve Me here.
I have placed this small country in which you live under a special grace and protection, which is why the enemy of life works here with extraordinary cunning and influence. He always wants to destroy what I build and raise up, wants to thwart My plans and implement his own in a most evil and treacherous way. These words of Mine show you that your country stands in a strong polarity of good and evil, that a mighty battle rages here: first in the soul-spiritual world, then manifesting in the material-earthly dimension.
And so all countries that stand under a special grace of awakening and calling are exposed to enormous demonic influences. Material need exists mainly in regions and countries where souls require a certain purification as preparation for eternal life, while challenges on the purely soul level occur increasingly and above all where I test faithfulness and need workers precisely for this time.
Why do I permit this? First, it is the free will of My creatures that restrains Me from intervening—still! In addition, a strong spiritual awakening requires corresponding counterforces through which My power unfolds in the hearts of My children and finally becomes manifest. According to your trust, surrender, faithfulness, and love for Me, you can now bring about in the shortest time a birth into My Spirit. This means that in those who are truly serious on the path to and with Me and walk it consistently so as to serve Me as strong instruments in this phase of the earthly world’s development, there takes place a mighty surging and battling of the forces of the soul. By this you recognize whether you stand in right and true discipleship: you now face energies and powers that challenge you completely on your path into the freedom of the Spirit, which is the case in a very special way for every child of God.
Now I stand here in your midst, not only to tell you this, but to clothe you and all your brothers and sisters anew—whether young or old, for I am the One who determines the earthly years of life of My children—with the armor from My hand, so that you are prepared for the coming time. For soon a mighty storm will rise from the north, from where no sun shines and no love dwells. Therefore, you whom I call My faithful ones, kneel down in spirit in humility in order to receive, as fulfillment of your longing, from My heart the gifts of grace of salvation and victory over the powers of evil, which are manifested as a power of love and its corresponding light now heightened in and from your hearts.
Now there should be silence for a few minutes.
My sons and daughters, spread these words of Mine among all your brothers and sisters near and far, so that they too may do this before Me and with Me, for I need faithful workers in My vineyard in this time of transformation and liberation. For now the time has come when good and evil will be separated from one another for a long time. Amen, My children, Amen.”
The Father adds that these words of His are to apply to all brothers and sisters, regardless of country. By the storm from the north He means the spiritual darkness that is now preparing to conquer and destroy forever what is true and good on this Earth. He also says that we should meet quite often in small circles to pray together, to discuss spiritual conditions, and together in the stillness of our hearts to receive divine impulses from the heart of Jesus Christ. He will be there and guide our thoughts and fill our souls with His love.

Feierstunde in Lauf near Nuremberg
Ingrid’s account as part of her birthday Feierstunde
How far we are on this path we do not know; God alone knows. But He is the goal and He is my goal. This also belongs with the last verse of the song we sang: ‘Let my spirit on Earth still become a sanctuary for You.’ That is a lofty goal—but for me it is the only one worth desiring. And that every day cannot be a celebration, but that life contains a thorny path, the Father also told me today.
I would like to connect directly with that by saying that, in retrospect, I do not experience what I went through as thorny, but as God’s grace. For I was dying and the doctors had no hope left. Since I had refused chemical therapy, I was discharged from the hospital; that was in November 2017. At the end of November the doctor told me I had about three months to live. The cancer had spread; there were metastases in the lungs, liver, spleen, and bones. I went home to die.
I could no longer lie down because then I could no longer breathe. I sat day and night and grew steadily weaker. For several weeks I was in a kind of coma.
In this condition my whole life passed before me. I was allowed to see and feel everything in which I was still not at peace with other people or with myself. Above all, I was shown whom and for what I had not forgiven, and for what I myself still had to ask forgiveness.
It was a painful process, but unavoidably necessary. And as intense as it was, I was nevertheless protected, for again and again I was allowed to step away spiritually. Then I would come back to consciousness and know: there is still something to clear up. It concerned different people and situations. This clearing up piece by piece was probably the beginning of my recovery. I noticed that through this working-through of the soul I entered more and more deeply into peace. The Lord passed on my requests for forgiveness in the spiritual realm, and I was allowed to forgive everything that became conscious to me.
In spirit I sat free and light and without wishes, clothed in a bright little linen dress, at the foot of a tall wooden cross, with the certainty that I would come to my Jesus. ‘I am sitting at the cross of my Jesus; He will come for me soon and I may be with Him’—that was all I thought.
By then I had care level three; I could no longer prepare food for myself, indeed I could no longer do anything at all. Still, there were a few earthly angels who brought me little soups. One daughter often drove from Nuremberg to Würzburg and sat by my bed. Another daughter came and admonished me not to see the pain as an attack, but to see what I had as the vehicle that would bring me more quickly to my Jesus. This idea caused me to see the cancer not only as a vehicle but even as a companion—and not as an enemy. From then on I had very little pain. My doctor finally said: ‘Mrs. K., you should not die here so alone; you need to go to a hospice.’
At the hospice one is cared for; I no longer had to think about anything. There I was allowed to let go of everything: my apartment was given up; my household goods, furniture, books, clothes—everything was given away. If one is going to die in three months, one no longer needs any of it. I needed only time with Jesus, and of that I had a great deal.
And then came that one decisive night when I woke up and heard the voice within me: ‘And what if I still needed you?’
I had not reckoned with that at all! For I wanted to go to Him. I was waiting for Jesus to come for me. He did not say what would happen then—only: ‘What if I still needed you?’ Then I said: ‘Father, if You still need me, here or over there, then that is where I want to be.’
The next morning I knew that I would live. Yes, more than that: my Father had released me back into life so that I might live for Him and thereby glorify Him. I knew that in that moment. I am surely still permitted to do some things, but I may also simply be, be His own. He made us for His joy, and brought me back into life for His joy and mine.
I was also asked: ‘What caused the turnaround?’ On the one hand, long before my illness I had already handed over my life, my heart, my entire being to Jesus. On the other hand, there were so many people praying for me. It was not an instantaneous healing; rather, I slowly became well again. Later I learned when people had prayed so intensely for me—it was exactly the time when I first felt the change. So it was simply a sequence of miracles. And then at the hospice I quite shocked the nursing staff because I kept getting healthier. I went into the common room and made my own breakfast. There were twelve dying people in the hospice, and the relatives who saw me bustling about asked me: ‘Then why are you here?’
After about half a year the day came when the director said I could now leave the hospice—because I was too healthy. Before my recovery, Bavarian Broadcasting had even come and filmed me. It was supposed to be a promotional spot showing how well one could be in a hospice even if one was about to die. Recently I asked the director: ‘What actually happened to the film that was made there?’ She said: ‘I have it safely stored; it still exists.’
Everyone who hears my story says: ‘By human standards, that is impossible.’ My doctor also said this when he examined me before discharge: ‘Mrs. K., your blood values are better than mine! When I look at you now, I don’t know either…’ He was in his early forties and was not a believer.
A sister asks: ‘The metastases were gone?’
Do you think I went back to the hospital and said: ‘Check everything again; do another lung biopsy, because that one was so lovely, and one of the liver and spleen too’? I did not do that. I was discharged from the hospice in April, and in June I was on the Großglockner—up to the Lucknerhütte at 2,400 meters. There was nothing left of metastases there.
With my account and with today’s celebration of five years of continued life, I want to give all honor to our glorious Father. By His grace alone I may, and all of us may, be here together today. To our Father Jesus alone belong all honor and all thanks. Yes, something special happened to me, just as with the lepers and the paralyzed whom Jesus healed. But were they something special? No, they were people who needed Jesus’ help. And yet I believe a personal commission is connected with it. Throughout these five years since then the Father has been working on me toward this commission. It is also becoming ever clearer to me for what task and for what time He is shaping His instrument. Anyone who knows the Bible knows that whenever a person gives himself wholly to the will of God, that is when things really begin! This sentence has accompanied me for years: ‘Father, Your will be done in me.’

Beginning of the Feierstunde
Samuel: Absolute silence reigns in heaven now. One can feel this silence when the thoughts are brought to stillness. The countless host of heavenly inhabitants is here with us now. One can imagine it not as though a door somewhere were open and they were looking in, but rather as though the room were open all around and encircled by blessed spirits. Of course they do not see only this room, for these heavenly spirits have the whole creation in view, but their focus is here because Jesus is here. And when we sang ‘Great God, We Praise You,’ they all sang along.
Jesus says: “My children, you know that where I am, there is heaven, and where I am, heaven opens. Thus Samuel has seen the opening of heaven. Yes, heaven has opened, and full of joy the inhabitants of heaven have listened and watched what is happening here. For you are their brothers and sisters who went to Earth in order to take on a body in this special time, in this dangerous time, to serve Me here. A dangerous journey requires special protection and special guidance, for the circumstances are special. When you look back on your earthly life, you can see the guidance; you can also see that certain periods which brought you suffering were necessary in order to lead you to where you now stand.
Before you went to this Earth, I promised you that I would bring you to the goal, to be with Me again—already on Earth. And now the time has come. I am here and you are here, and we are a community again, and that is beautiful, so great joy reigns—also in heaven.”
Samuel: Dear birthday child, now Mary, Jesus’ bodily mother, speaks to you:
“My sister, see, I have accompanied you since your birth. You also feel this relationship with me within yourself. In a certain sense I am your example—you may also see it that way in your heart. And I have suffered with you.
I suffered once before two thousand years ago; I know suffering, I know pain, I know death—I experienced it, though not my own death. Yes, I experienced death, the death of my son, and there is no greater suffering than when one’s child, one’s own child, must suffer a cruel death. And yet I also knew, and I know, that this execution at the same time set in motion a process of redemption that is now coming to fruition—in this time! Now the resurrection of this Earth is taking place, and you may share in this resurrection, for it is not taking place only outwardly, but it is taking place within you, and this is true and certain.”
Jesus says: “You may now experience My resurrection within you if you continue to remain in this surrender and faithfulness, if you are able to love Me more than the world, more than fear, more than the future, more than concern about the future. Hold to Me and I will fill you with My Spirit.
Heaven remains open for you and heaven is open within you, and this connection of the outer with the inner brings you into the necessary balance so that you do not fall out of this communion with Me. My presence within you conditions My presence outside you. Thus I can guide and lead you through this final time.
I remain with you this day; I go home with you if you take Me with you, if you keep your heart open to My love. I will never leave you; you too, do not leave Me. This is My joy, the Father’s joy over His children. Amen.”

Feierstunde in Haaksbergen, Netherlands, First Day
The brothers and sisters introduce themselves and speak briefly about their life situation and their relationship with Jesus, as we do at every Feierstunde.
Samuel introduces himself: I used to be a punk; I was drunk almost every day, addicted to pornography and sex, constantly intoxicated and always serving only my pleasures. After a separation I entered a state of consciousness in which nothing gave me support anymore. Everything I had done before collapsed in on itself; I could no longer hold on to the world, but neither did I yet have any spiritual support, and I found myself, so to speak, in no-man’s-land.
In that cruel state of death that had thrown me from my throne, I had a strange experience: one evening, as I sat quietly weeping in pain, suddenly my chest opened—my soul’s chest, of course; I actually felt it divide. Then from within, a flood of light poured into my soul, through my whole body, and I was in a state of divine love. That is, I was nothing but love and nothing else. This state did not last very long, perhaps a few minutes, but its aftereffect remained longer.
At the time I did not yet know that it was Jesus’ Spirit, and then I occupied myself with many spiritual paths because I was looking for spiritual nourishment. In this way I eventually came to the writings of Jakob Lorber. In them I found again what had been shown to me through the awakening experience. During the years that followed, divine inner speech and spiritual seeing unfolded increasingly, but this above all through God’s grace and not primarily through activity of love. I was placed in God’s ray of grace and received the gift of spiritual perception as a present. My spiritual development therefore exists independently of my calling.
And Jesus said to me: “You must move along with this grace, otherwise too great a discrepancy arises between what I give you and what you are. Then you could lose your commission, require a painful correction through illness, or I might even have to call you home.”
Only then did I recognize what it means to walk the path of faith seriously: that it is not about special spiritual talents, about hearing and conveying God’s word, but about living love in everyday life. Only through turning away from earthly satisfactions that steal from the divine Spirit the space in the soul, and through true love for Jesus Christ and, from it, for one’s fellow human beings, does divine life unfold in a person; only then does it become his own. Otherwise one is a soul barely ripened through necessity, always in danger of falling away from faith again, of falling out of grace again.
Short pause.
Samuel: Jesus has now opened my spiritual eye. I will say what I see: since the beginning of the introductions, Jesus has been standing in the middle of the room in a white garment, with a benevolent smile, full of joy that we have come together here. Behind each person present stands an angel, probably the guardian spirit, also full of joy… after all, they know one another (wink). And many deceased people are also present in this room, probably ancestors of those here—parents, grandparents, but also younger ones… children, who are now allowed to share in this Feierstunde with Jesus.
These deceased have different degrees of access to this room. Some see a light as if from afar if they still have darkness in their soul. Some are directly present; those are the ones who already believe in Jesus or are going toward and with Him—and the words are also laid in their hearts. There are also souls here belonging to people who could not come; A.’s soul is here, and from the Munich circle some souls are now being called in as well, without their being conscious of it. Even if they are presently carrying out an earthly activity, their souls share in this community.
Silent pause.
Jesus says: “Into the stillness of your souls I place My word, which I Myself am. Light and love fill this room in My presence. And so the space has opened again, so that many are here. Where I am, the inhabitants of heaven are also present, those who are always at My side and who are now also in this room. And it is a wonderful community I have brought together here in order to place new life in you, in order to prepare you for what is coming.
My words have a different meaning for each person, even though they are the same words, for every soul stands at a particular stage of development, and so My word acts in a very special way on every level.
But first I want to greet you as My children. It is indeed so that those whom I now call together I once sent into this world to enter upon the adventure of earthly life in this time of transformation. And you also know that putting on the body of flesh represents a certain danger, for it exercises great power over the human being and can draw him away from Me and lead him into darkness.
When you went into the world, I promised to lead you back to Me. I promised you faithfulness, and you promised Me faithfulness. Now the time has come; we are together again. You cannot see Me, yet I am among you. And the love within you is your proof of My presence. For I have laid a bond from My heart to your hearts and, in your hearts, among one another; and this bond forms an island of love, forms a power in the darkness.
My children, each of you has a very special destiny to master… and has already mastered it. Much was unavoidably necessary so that you would not stray too far from the path I prepared for you, the path I placed within you. And at this intermediate station where we now meet, I equip you anew, whether young or old, for the paths, short or long, still demand some things from you. Tests lie ahead which, at My side, you can easily withstand. And you do want to walk at My hand; the longing in your hearts has grown great, the fire within you, the fire of love, burns mightily.
You are still, as people living in the body of flesh, bound to certain obligations, and neither are you free from sin. In this imperfection of yours I meet you and say: I lead you into perfection. When you recognize My guidance, when you feel that you are sheltered in My love, you share ever more in this perfection surrounding you. You know that you are guided and protected at My side, although you still remain in imperfection. Thus your imperfection conforms ever more to My perfection.
And what is the power of union? You know it: it is love. It is love alone; everything always revolves around love. Love unites Father and child. Love takes the child out of divine law, out of the law of necessity, for when it steps out of sin I place it in My mercy. Then the child’s sins are written in the sand, and this in turn means that you are filled with My Spirit and enter into My perfection.
Putting off sin does not happen in such a way that I simply take it away from you. It is indeed so, My children, that you must overcome, that you must struggle to become free from impatience, lust for rule, dominance, and self-will. You must open the door; you must take the first steps; then I come to meet you and take the rest, which I have actually already borne for you. It is so important that you understand that you yourselves must do something, that you must become overcomers of your sins. Otherwise it is not possible for you to enter My heart.
I reach out My hand to you, but first you must do your work. And look at it closely: in love it is so easy; in love everything falls away from the soul. And this love is again also I, and so it can be viewed in such a way that it is always I who masters, who overcomes… and thus you become one with Me. And that is what I have prepared for you, already in this earthly life: this entering into My Spirit, this being filled, as once happened with the apostles, who were also instructed by Me, partly in the outward word, partly in the voice of the heart, and were thus able to let go of and put off the world, their faults and peculiarities more and more, so that I could finally fill them with Myself.
What is it now that awaits you? It is the time of transformation, the time in which lies and falsehood rage upon this Earth. And it must be so, My children, for as I have often mentioned: in order to disempower the lie, it must become visible, must come to the surface. And then, when everything reveals itself in the light of truth, it will be penetrated, dissolved, redeemed—and only then can the new life begin on this Earth.
This raging, this cruel behavior of darkness now taking place on this Earth is therefore a certain necessity. And yet, My children, you should pray for relief. It is not that you can say: ‘Everything has to come as it comes anyway; it is the Father’s will.’ No, it is permission, and when you pray, when you send light into this world, to the people who are already in great need, then you fulfill My will; then in spirit you give Me to the people who are in need.
Great distress will also come to this country; then it is necessary that you stand on a spiritual foundation from which you can no longer fall, that you belong to the virgins with enough oil in their lamps. Faith must be vigorous and strong; trust in Me is so important. Faith and trust, you know, cannot be separated; they are a unity like love and wisdom.
It will indeed still take some years, and there is no fixed point in time of which you can say: ‘Then it will happen, then at last the time will have come, Jesus will come into the world, truth will penetrate the lie, and everything will be well.’
My children, I emphasize it again and again: it is not about what happens in the future; it is important that you recognize My presence. For you it is not about My return; for you it is about recognizing that I am present and that you become alive in My presence. Therefore concentrate wholly on what is happening now in your life and not on what will come. This is the basic prerequisite for My being able to use you as workers in this final time, for My being able to lead people to you. Then you must be ready; you must be able to reveal Me in one way or another. Whether through the word, whether through living faith, so that the spark leaps into the heart of your neighbor.
For this I have brought you together today, so that I may renew your souls. I fan the light of your hearts. It is My great longing that you be happy. Your happiness is My joy. I have no joy in the suffering of My children; I have joy in the joy of My children. And if a child opens the door to Me, opens the heart to Me, I can place it in a state in which it is sheltered in Me in every situation, full of confidence and joy, whatever happens, even if the world were to fall into ruins. This I have prepared for you; this I want to give you; this you need.
Consider death, the death of the body—what does it mean for you? See, you have never left the beyond. Your souls, your consciousness, are always in the world beyond, in the spiritual world; it is only covered by matter. And death is nothing other than matter dissolving, and then you become conscious of where you have actually always been: in the spiritual world. Then what is now invisible to you becomes visible—which is also necessary, for only faith that does not see gives you the freedom of the Spirit. Faith and trust that it is so, that My words are truth—that is what sets you free.”
Closing Prayer
Dear Father, we thank You for Your words; we thank You that You have brought us together here, that You give us this community, and that You speak courage and confidence to us, that we continue along this path, that we are on the right path, that we have found the truth which so many people seek and do not find because they have eyes and yet do not see, because they have ears and yet do not hear. But You have opened our eyes; we may see the path You have prepared for us; we have insight into Your heart, into Your love; we know what life is about. Thank You, Father, that You have led us here and that You continue to lead us to where there is only love and always only love. Amen.

Second Day in Haaksbergen
Dear Jesus, we have come together again with a heart full of longing for Your word, for Your love, for Your presence. You have placed a flame in our hearts, a little flame at the beginning of our earthly existence, so that over the course of our life it may become a flame of love that fills us completely, fills us with love for You, with love for our fellow human beings—that is our life’s task. That is why You not only guide Your children in spirit, but bring them together in order to speak to them personally.
And so we rejoice that You are in our midst and speak to us the words we so urgently need, so that we may penetrate more deeply, so that we may gain more insight into what You mean for us, what a loving, gentle God You are, who has only one thing in mind: to make His children infinitely happy. Yet for this the hurdles and barriers of earthly life are also needed, and they must be overcome with Your help…
Jesus continues: “… and so I too am full of joy that you, My children, whom I have called and appointed in this special time, are now here, so that you may become conscious of My presence, so that I may become alive in you, so that My resurrection from death may become real in you. So that you may rise out of your graves, out of your death, into eternal life.
And so in this special time the Earth is wrapped in darkness, in gloom, and the satanic spirit is permitted to carry on without measure or restraint. It still does so in concealment, more or less, but soon it will be able to rule openly, and then you will need My presence and My power and the Spirit that guides and leads you through this time.
For this reason My grace is active in a special measure so that the Spirit can fill you more easily than was otherwise the case in the past two thousand years. For I want to equip you, just as I once equipped My apostles and disciples with the gifts of the Spirit, as My workers in the vineyard. I have already equipped you, but it is a matter of your being able to use these talents and instruments. And therefore the influx has become considerably stronger in the measure in which darkness increases on this Earth. The spiritual influx, the spiritual birth, is now considerably easier to attain than before—and in a shorter time.
Certain prerequisites are needed for this. A child who has wholly committed itself to Me, who has surrendered itself to Me and accepted Me as its God, Creator, Father—this child I can guide and lead in a special way. Everything that meets this child on its path becomes gain for it. And some powerful trials are indeed needed in order to purify the soul to the point where space arises within it to receive My Spirit. The instruments I use are different from one person to another, according to the structure of the soul, according to the soul’s condition, according to My child’s surrender to My love.
Therefore it is so important and necessary that you always live in this awareness that now everything that meets you comes from My heart. I emphasize it again and again: a child that surrenders itself to Me is guided by Me in a special measure and sense—with the sole aim of reaching spiritual birth as quickly as possible. The difficult trials, the great challenges of life, are the large stones that you can clear from the path together with Me.
Therefore do not despair when you come into situations where you no longer know what to do, where you say: ‘Dear Father, why is this happening to me now?… I don’t understand it! I want to be Your child and then this burden comes… how am I supposed to deal with it?! It doesn’t fit into my picture of life at this point at all!’
And yet I say: it is the necessity for reaching the goal. And it is necessary only until you, as My child, can recognize what this situation is meant to bring about in you and can then put aside, can let go of, the corresponding sin with My help, so that you become free to continue walking this path into My heart.
There is nothing I would rather do than take you from this Earth already now—into your spiritual home—but you came to this Earth in order to serve Me. I placed this plan, this path, within you. And you said yes: ‘Yes, Father, I want to walk this path, I want to follow You. Yes, I will also take suffering upon myself,’ you said, ‘for love’s sake.’ And I set My Amen beneath it.
And now you stand at this point where I tell you this, where this circle can close, where you step out of the spirit of the age, out of this current of time that threatens to sweep you along, and I take you to My heart, to My breast, so that you can drink from the source of eternity and be filled with the Spirit of My words… now and here.
And one day, when after your work is done you are permitted to return home, you too will feel this satisfaction of having fulfilled your task, of having walked the path to the end, of not having despaired or lost courage and said: ‘I don’t want to anymore! I can’t do it.’ Every child comes to this point once or more often. Then you will see and recognize every necessity, and joy will fill you that it happened, that you served Me. And then, in the great beyond, after a certain rest and period of recovery, you will take up new services, mainly concerning this Earth. You will act with your spirit of love into the new time; that will then be the next task.
But now the first task is to become free from matter here in the flesh with My help. To take the steps toward Me so that I can come to meet you and reach out My hand. I come more than halfway to meet you, but you must take the first steps.
There are certain things in your life that you have not yet let go of, which occupy the space I need within you. And here violence against oneself is also needed, that one says: ‘No, I am ending this now! I give this space of my soul to Jesus Christ; He is to occupy this space.’ And so it moves forward piece by piece. Then ever more joy and love enter you, confidence grows, security grows, trust grows. And then you also have this spiritual certainty, this foundation on which you can work with the gifts of the Spirit. Then you are able to place My living word into the hearts of your fellow human beings; then you are able to lay hands upon people so that they become well—these are all talents I have distributed. And it does not matter what age you are. I keep you in the flesh as long as it is necessary.”
Short pause.
“How was it once when I walked on Earth and gathered My apostles and disciples around Me? They left house and farm and family to follow Me. They had only one desire left: to be with Me.
It is not that I demand that you leave your family. No, not in matter, but in the spiritual you should indeed let go of everything that binds you to death, for matter is dead. It has only an apparent life, and only what is within matter, what is the essence of matter, the spiritual of matter, is life. And so it is also with you: the body is dead; the Spirit animates your body. And the Spirit within you is the Word—and that is I. You receive the Word from within, as life itself, and you receive the Word from without, and these two words, these two messages, these two lights of love unite; they become a unity, the outer and inner Word, and all together is life, life in Me.
To emphasize it once more: as I gathered My apostles and disciples around Me then, so it is to be again today. It is the same process, only that I am not visible to you; and yet it happens exactly as it did then. In the heart you are instructed and trained by Me. This is not merely the conscience; when you ask Me a question: ‘Dear Father, how should I act in this situation?’ then you always receive an answer from Me. And love is always the standard for the decision. Thus I guide you.
For this it is necessary to go often into stillness. Prepare yourselves with beautiful music, and also pray aloud, speak aloud with Me; then the thoughts gather in Me. There are many possibilities for entering into connection with Me.
As it is with food, so it is with My word: one must digest it, one must think about it. One chews over the word with the intellect, and yet the words are intended for the heart. The heart finds the spirit of the words; the intellect chews at the shell and considers and thinks about whether it is really so. The heart recognizes the truth of My words. The core of words is always truth, even in the lie. The lie always has an innermost spiritual-divine core; only the shell is the lie. And when you view the words with the heart, you connect with this innermost core. And then you recognize whether it is truth or a lie.
This is a learning process. The soul is an instrument, like a musical instrument, on which one must practice. One can have talent, yet if one does not practice one’s instrument, the talent withers. One gives it away, throws it away. And the soul is an instrument on which you must consciously practice every day for a certain time. You sit down, you go into stillness, you pray softly or aloud, and then you activate love within you through beautiful thoughts of a loving person, through opening your heart to Me. Or it may be a loving activity in the garden or with a person you care for; these are all exercises for the soul, in order to connect with Me, in order to enter My presence.
You then feel warmth in the heart; then the heart awakens, then the flame blazes in the heart and becomes ever larger and more intense. Practice makes the master—whoever does not practice does not advance. This is a serious matter. Understand how important it is to do these exercises.
And often it is so that one resolves to do something in the spiritual, yet matter presses into the soul, is stronger… and then one postpones it and does this and that, then remembers something else, then someone comes to visit, and then it is evening and one has done nothing. Therefore remain in this seriousness, in this earnestness, My children, every day anew, practicing this one day in mindfulness and love, in patience. As often as possible, lift your thoughts to Me, open your hearts to Me: ‘Dear Father, please open my heart to You, so that I may recognize You still more deeply in Your love.’
Yes, My children, these are words of life that I address to you, that I would like to address to so many people—but who listens to Me? There are not many who are ready to open their hearts to Me in order to receive My word. Most people long for the world and not for Me.
Thus you are called by Me; your names are written in the book of life for eternity. For the cycle of your life, of your existence in the vastness of this creation, now comes to an end. The lost son returns home—and the daughter.
Yes, these are the very weighty words to you for this morning, which I have not merely spoken to you through this My instrument, My son who serves Me in this word, but which are also laid in your hearts. And above them the words for each individual: I am with you, I am with you all days, I will never leave you. And even if you turn away from Me, I stand ready to offer you hand and heart, to lead you back onto the path you resolved to walk in this life together with Me, so that one day you may enter into the glory of My heavens. Amen, My children, Amen.”
Samuel: Great joy now reigns in heaven over our willingness to take these words truly seriously. And all of us, through this address from Jesus, have understood still more deeply what it is about, how valuable this path is for us and for all people when we carry God out into this world. He will lead to us the people whom we are to serve in His love. And this joy in heaven that a new movement is beginning here now—even if we part again, each one of us is nevertheless a little island, a pillar of light in the darkness, with the willingness to serve God. Whether in this-worldly activity or in intercessory prayer for the world beyond, or simply in an existence of love—that is enough to spread light. Simply with the willingness: ‘My heart is open, Jesus Christ is my love.’ And this awareness, this way of being, is already a light in the darkness, even without activity.

First Feierstunde in Stadtilm
Jesus says: “My children, today I have gathered you here in order to connect you with My love and to connect you with one another through the word love. I once placed this word in your hearts; this word is what life means. Yes, out of love this creation was called into life, love carries this creation, and love will fill this creation for all eternity. I Myself am the Spirit of love; I Myself have placed Myself in your hearts so that I can rise within you in this time and beyond.
I have come to make all people happy; yet you see how few there are who declare themselves ready to let Me into their lives, to realize Me within themselves. Truly, I knock at every heart’s door with a longing that only God can have—but who opens to Me? There are so few. Yet to those who open their hearts to Me, who open the door of their soul to Me, I enter with all power and glory. To those who trust and surrender themselves to Me I give all that the others do not want for themselves or even claim.
And so, to express it in worldly terms, I have brought many gifts. Yes, it is not Christmas, and yet when I have and give the possibility of gathering you around Me, I also want to richly endow you with the gifts of heaven.
Now many of you ask yourselves: ‘Dear God, I try so hard to come closer to You, and yet I get stuck on some things; I simply do not move forward and do not know why—what am I supposed to do?!’
And I say: your soul is a space of free will. What enters this space is determined by you yourselves. And very many of My children over the course of their lives have filled their soul-space with things that burden the soul, with weights that drag it down again and again into dark regions and hold it there. And these weights have often become so heavy that My children can no longer get them out of the soul. Thus there comes a constant up and down; the life of faith has no constancy and there is no steady progress, or no progress at all. And therefore I speak to you here today in order, together with you, to make your souls a little freer from the burden that hinders you from moving forward.
Yes, a small part of the soul belongs to the world, for one lives in this world, has a profession, has earthly tasks to fulfill, and this space is intended for the world—but it is a small space. The great space of the soul is actually intended for Me; I prepared it for Myself, so that I can enter as the whole God.
And so it is a process of becoming free, of clearing the refuse out of the soul, and I am ready, especially in gatherings such as these and beyond, to bring this about by allowing My light of love to shine into the spaces of the soul in the common openness of My children, so that you may recognize what spiritually hinders you.”
Short pause.
“My children, you took the risk of taking on a body on this Earth in this time. It is a special time that challenges you; yes, it is not easy to stand firm in this time. And yet I say: My yoke and My burden are light when a child entrusts itself to Me.
Yes, the world rages, falsehood and lies have taken power, and so many thoughts pull at the soul in every direction that one often no longer knows what to do. It was not always so; the world has never before been constituted as it is now, with all these points of reference for the soul where the soul is often torn apart in its trains of thought. And therefore it is necessary and important to gather oneself again and again in prayer, to connect with Me in order to draw the thoughts away from the world. If this does not happen, a constant unrest easily enters the soul and it then no longer finds access to Me.
And here we come to the point where I say: the Kingdom of Heaven requires force. Sometimes it is necessary to turn away from the world with force, to compel oneself to release mental bonds. And what is needed for this? What is the instrument for being able to accomplish these detachments? It is love for Me. Love for Me must be stronger than love for the world. And here it is effective for you to kneel before Me in spirit and pray: ‘Dear Father, please open my heart to Yours and Your heart to mine, so that a bond of love may arise, so that I may receive deep insight into Your love.’ Yes, everything depends on love for Me, My beloved; love is the key to the freedom of the Spirit in Me.”
Now Jesus speaks to the deceased relatives and ancestors of those present, who have been invited and have been permitted to attend this Feierstunde from the beginning:
“See, I have called you in as well in order to serve you in the sense that I enlighten you about what you are to do and leave undone in order to advance spiritually. You have already heard My words to these My children in this room, and to you I add: many of you do not know who I truly am and see Me as a perfect human being, as one spiritual teacher among many. But I tell you: I am God Almighty and the Only One, and apart from Me there is none. And there is no other name that leads you to redemption than this: Jesus Christ.
This means that you do not merely pronounce this name, but penetrate into the Spirit of My name and there gain the recognition of what this name truly means, namely the deed of love—and follow Me in this love. The deed of love makes Jesus Christ alive in you and thus He becomes for you the path into the Kingdom of Heaven.
My children, these words are not intended only for this room, whether on this side or beyond, but they penetrate out into the world, and every open heart experiences through them a divine touch of the truth spoken here.
My children, whatever awaits you in the next time, whatever may come upon you, I emphasize again and again and have said it so often: how necessary it is to turn your eyes away from the world, whatever happens. You know about this time and that the Antichrist has now been given all power for a short time—you need not know more. Your consciousness is to be directed toward Me. You cannot stand through the next time if you do not cling to Me, walk at My side, and direct all your attention of eyes and ears toward Me. The awareness of the necessity of My presence must already be present in the morning; you should enter into connection with Me first thing in the morning and go attentively through the day together with Me, for at any moment it can happen that you overlook a stumbling stone, that you step into a trap in unconsciousness, or that misguided people lure you onto a false track.
To feel divine security is proof that I am with you and that you stand in right trust. Then you will be free from care and burden and look joyfully into the future in the awareness that I am with you and that I ultimately bring everything to a good end. Amen.”

Second Day in Stadtilm
Spiritual vision, Samuel: Today only our ancestors and deceased relatives who already dwell in heavenly regions are here. (The day before, souls from the most varied regions of the world beyond had been invited.) Along with them there is here an innumerable multitude of inhabitants of heaven. Each holds a candle in his hand before him. They are around us and their host stretches into the depth of space as far as one can see. Their candles symbolize the light of their hearts; the eternal light, meaning their eternal love for Jesus Christ. This candle will never go out again, just as their love will never go out again. The radiance of these heavenly inhabitants is so powerful that this room is completely filled with light and love, which envelop us like a cloud.
And just as we are here in the midst of this heavenly host, Jesus also stands in our midst. Yes, there is great joy in heaven, but it is a quiet joy, a joy that cannot be described, a joy filled with love. So we ask You, dear Father, that if it is Your will, You may again today give us words from Your heart, from Your love.
Jesus says: “Yes, when a child asks Me that I should and may speak, then I am ready. It is so that I sometimes hold Myself back, for it also happens that in certain circles I cannot spread, give away, and pour out My love. And yet it is the great desire of My heart to place My love within you, My children, so that the light of truth—for there is only one truth, and that is My love—may give you recognition of your condition, of your true identity, and of My presence within you.
Thus this light is a trinity: in the recognition of being human, which is the body; in the consciousness of your true identity, which is the soul; and in the consciousness of My presence within you, which is the Spirit. And in this shining-in of My love it is possible for you to walk this path in such a way—as I already emphasized yesterday—that you can enter into this fulfillment which burns in your hearts as a great longing. The longing I placed within you, that one day you may unite with Me, that one day you may dwell in My house, for this is the privilege of My children.
I call only those My children whom I also regard as My children; as an earthly father does, whose desire it is that his children dwell in his house and that there always be a family community. And so it is with Me as well. There are indeed inhabitants of heaven who do not belong to the intimate family circle; they are blessed spirits, as countless ones are here now, who hear My words, who see your hearts and your disposition. They are happy, for they belong to the great family of heavenly spirits, and yet there is a small difference. For whoever dwells in My house dwells in the innermost part of My heart. And whoever dwells in the vast heavenly regions dwells in the forecourt of My heart, in the omnipresent Spirit of God. One is the radiance; the other is the source. And you understand correctly: I want to lead you to the source.
I have come to serve you. Yes, I am a King, but I am a serving King. I am a ruling King of the world and a serving King to My children, for you are royal children. Just as an earthly father wants to serve his children, to raise and prepare them rightly so that they can succeed him, so that they may have what he himself has and is. This is the inheritance I have prepared for you. You cannot yet measure what this means, but one day, when you open fully into this spiritual gift from Me, then you will see; only then will you live, only then will you be alive in Me and recognize the value of your earthly life and of the result arising from it.
It is so important that you recognize the meaning of My crucifixion and My resurrection. It is important and necessary to recognize why I shed My blood for you and what it means that I shed My blood for you. When a child draws near to Me, when a child has set out to walk the path together with Me, then it comes to Me and begins to pray. Then it comes to Me to ask Me for guidance, for assistance, and I am then ready to draw a final line under what was before it came to Me: a neutralizing and wiping away of My child’s sins so that it can continue on the path free and unburdened.
Thus through My death on the cross I bore, for My child, all the sins it had committed. Just as perhaps an earthly father would give his life for his child. If you as fathers and mothers had the possibility of sparing your child great suffering, would you perhaps take it upon yourselves so that the child would not have to suffer it? So also I.
And I did it for all people, yet this sacrifice of Mine becomes effective only when a person sets out to become a child of God; then My sacrifice comes into effect and becomes active. And this sacrifice on the cross already contains the resurrection, My resurrection within you. The forgiveness of sins and the child’s further action with the endeavor not to sin anymore inevitably leads to resurrection in the Spirit, to My Spirit within you, My Person within you—the little Jesus in your hearts. He will fill you, and you will live together with Me, in My Spirit, for eternity.
What happens now if a person comes to Me and wants to become a child of God, but continues to live in sin? Then My mercy is active and no longer lets the child go, but My blood sacrifice cannot be effective to the same extent as with a child that truly strives to put off the old person, to leave all sin, in order to let Me arise within itself. That is a great difference. I say this because I require more effort from you, I require more commitment. Not in that you should convert people, but in that you detach yourselves still more from the world and turn to Me. I want to see seriousness and truthfulness; these are necessary so that My power, My Holy Spirit, becomes effective within you and can arise.
And one more thing I want to give you for this day: joy. Joy is the elixir of life for the soul. Love and joy are a unity. Yes, it is so important to have joy in the heart—even in this world. And true joy can only be given to you by the certainty that you have a Father in heaven who guides, protects, and carries you through the turmoil of this time, and who leads you into His heart. You can feel this certainty, this consciousness, only when you make the space available for it.
You discussed it yesterday, these spaces of the soul that must become free, the bonds that must be severed. And then you go joyfully into the day in the awareness: ‘I am free, I am free for Jesus Christ! Yes, that is my joy, that is the content of my life! I am free from care and fear, also free from fear of death, for I belong to Jesus; He is God and King and has power over everything. And I am His child—what can happen to me? He leads and guides me, He has everything under control, He knows everything—and I belong to Him!’
It is a great joy to be permitted to live in this awareness. And even when you come into situations that burden you and weigh down your soul, enter into this thought, that everything that meets you first passes through My heart and thus comes from My heart. Then joy arises again; then you open the gate to joy in God.
And so I bless you, bless you from and with all My heart. My divine power, My divine might, My light and My vitality I place within you and fill your souls with My love so that the veils of darkness may be lifted. Go often into stillness, for a quarter or half an hour and that several times a day; it is necessary to enter into self-knowledge. Then I cause My light to shine within you if you ask: ‘Dear God, heavenly Father, show me the darkness within me that I do not see.’ And then enter into truthfulness and I will show you where there is need and what the need is within you. And in this humbling that you will then experience, I will touch your hearts and you will learn what it means to rise in Me. For only humility can receive true love, only humility is able to bear Me; divine resurrection takes place only on the ground of humility.
Yes, My children, many words… I see you are ready, I see My words have touched you. Amen, My children.”
Afterward the host’s wife, who had gone home the previous year, spoke:
“My dear husband, my son, yes, I am very busy here in this world, precisely with the task—you have already heard it today from Samuel—of serving you from the spiritual side, supporting you, also giving you the feeling that I am present so that you receive a certain security, a proof of eternal life, which is not yet so deeply rooted in all of you.
I do not mean only this circle, but I regard all brothers and sisters as my family, near and far, to whom I feel I belong. And my task is to spread Jesus’ love, to radiate with His light, to be effective with His love. Just as I already loved love so much in my earthly life, even though—as I now see—it was not always treated as it deserved. As a bearer of love my heart was often mistreated and misused, which I did indeed feel then, but did not carry into the public, rather bore quietly within myself.
But now everything is good; I feel no pain, feel no suffering. I have the certainty in my heart that you are all well protected and guided by our heavenly Father Jesus Christ, who has become my one great love. And my great and blessed wish is that you too may be able and permitted to love Jesus as I am permitted to do. Therefore I am very active and at work in order to influence you, to let His love radiate through me into your hearts. That is my great joy; it makes me so happy when I see you happy. That is my blessedness, to do and work together with Jesus—a wonderful task; I cannot imagine anything more beautiful.
And I rejoice when one day we will be together again here in the heavenly regions; it will be a great celebration. And therefore I also say, as our heavenly Father already said today: make an effort, struggle and wrestle for love, and do not slacken; it is worth it. Walk this path consistently and always be ready to go through dark valleys as well, in the awareness that your heavenly Father will never leave you but is always with you and will lead you out again, so that when you have walked through this dark valley you may enjoy the bright heights all the more. And so I embrace and hold all of you together.
And to you, my son, I say: it is a great joy to me to see how you, you and your wife, walk this path together and also raise the children in this awareness. Yes, so I am with you whenever it is possible for me and rejoice with you.”
Finally our heavenly Father gave each person an enlightening personal word and then concluded:
“My children, I could also uncover and hold before you your sins and faults, but I am a God of motivation; I want to raise you up and not press you down. I speak to you from My heart and not from My naked wisdom and divine omnipotence and lawgiving. I am a true Father to My children and My deepest wish is to have happy children. As I said, always with a certain necessity of preparation.
And so take these words. Trust, rejoice, love one another as I love you. This too I give you for your further path. I am everything, and without Me there is only death and ruin. I am life and love. Amen.”

Feierstunde in Kals-Lesach at the Großglockner
Jesus says: “Amen, I am God Almighty and have come to judge this Earth, to cleanse the mire of faith and to save what can be saved. Amen, I am heavenly Father to those who have set out to seek Me in the darkness of the world called Earth, who have recognized the true longing of their hearts, who want to serve Me in love and mercy.
Thus the spirits now separate; evil is divided from good, darkness from light, and death from life. Yes, the time has come for this Earth once again to become a nursery for the children of My love—and not a rotten pond and cesspool of soul-spiritual stench and decay. The time has come for this Earth to recover from all the cruelties inflicted upon it and which human beings have inflicted upon one another since I placed here the first true human being, Adam, and with him his wife Eve, in free divine will.
I have watched satanic activity with patience and mercy, have shown long-suffering, have sent My servants of the heart to awaken and enlighten the lost and the dead. I sacrificed Myself in order to cleanse the path into divine life and make it passable again for all eternity. I bore away the sins of human beings—and those who surrender themselves to Me in all seriousness and in loving trust are thereby free from sin and burden.
I scattered seeds which are now sprouting and flourishing in the light of My descent. Thus there will now be a blossoming, a blossoming of souls, a wonderful awakening. And I will wonderfully guide My own in the final days, so that they can and will stand firm in the great final battle between light and darkness.
So hear, you My faithful: as truly as I live, I am a faithful God. Faithfulness is one of My strongest and most loving qualities; it is a child of My love, of My divine love.
What does it mean when I say: I am a faithful God? See and know, it means that it is not possible for Me to let go again of a child once seized by My love. It means that the quiet and loud longing for Me in your hearts is the grasp of love of My heart which no longer releases you. Release in the sense that you are indeed free in your decision to turn toward Me, but I will no longer leave your heart; rather, I will wait patiently until at last the union of two hearts, that of Father and son, that of Father and daughter, has taken place.
To this oath of faithfulness I have bound Myself, My children, with My Godhood, with My divine heart. In it you find My innermost disposition of love, a disposition the world can never recognize and never will, which only My true children may and should behold. For in the covenant of faithfulness dwells the freedom of the Spirit for you and also for Me, eternally, eternally, eternally. Amen, My children, Amen.”

Gathering of Brothers and Sisters in Nesselwangen on Lake Constance — Spring and Autumn 2022–2023
Dear heavenly Father, we ask You for words of truth and love, as we have already been permitted to experience at the table You prepared for us. Your bread, which we take in, enters the stomach of our soul, and there our soul receives it in order to receive the divine, the Word of life, which You Yourself are, which transforms us, which guides and leads us: the Word of truth and love.
And by now there are many children who are permitted to proclaim Your words. For every soul has a different structure, its own personality and characteristics which arose over the course of earthly life through various experiences and influences, and also through preparation before birth. And so there are different words which You, dear Father, send out, which wander through our soul-land, and every soul colors Your word and makes it an individual expression of divinity. This diversity of Your word, dear Father, gives itself to the diversity of the souls to whom it is brought. And so it is good that Your word takes on different colorings…
The Father continues: “… in order to find a just distribution for the hearts of My children. As I distributed bread to the apostles and disciples, so I now distribute, I give from My hand the bread of life, the word of love and truth. Full of longing and desire and hunger for love, you receive it in order to make it alive within you through the deed. Again and again I call to you: live love, give Me vitality within you and thereby give it to the world! Give Me to people by moving along with Me when I work through you. I take you with Me into the hearts of your fellow human beings through your deed. In this you see the necessity of redemption; in this you also see the necessity of need.
Thus I want to train you; it is a process: you rise from step to step, ever ‘nearer, my God, to Thee.’ You still live in the world, yet the significance of the world becomes entirely different. You become aware that it is a school which you attend for a short time in order to receive training: to give your free will to Me so that I can fill you and you become true children of God.
As I said once, so I say now as well: I prepare a table for you in the presence of My enemies, your enemies. What does it mean, what kind of table do I prepare for you? What food do I place on the table for you, what drink? As some of you have already thought, they are My qualities: love, wisdom, My will, My order, My earnestness, My patience, and My mercy. These qualities I make available to you and offer to you, which brings us again to the bread of life, to the nourishment I give you. These qualities have the power to transform everything that meets you. The sum, the community of these qualities, is I.
This food is therefore divided into different foods, as it is also in earthly life where not every food appeals to every person. Thus My food too is prepared in different ways for the different tastes—meaning talents—of My children. Every child sitting at this table automatically reaches for the food that suits it best. And so one child begins more in love, another in wisdom; one has patience and another carries the earnestness of life within. Then it has enjoyed this food for a while and reaches for the next.
And because My children always have longing for Me—this longing is the hunger and thirst for My love, for Me—in time and over the course of their lives they enjoy all the foods from this table, and a spiritual composition of these foods takes place which they have taken into the soul, whereby the soul is penetrated by this food, which is the bread of life—and that is My word.
Creation is My word! I spoke it, the ‘Let there be!’ and My will called this creation into life. And this creation, this word, I also placed within you. That means that the entire creation is contained in each of you. All stars and planets, all beings of this infinity are spiritually contained within you. And every person you meet is contained within you as a spiritual being—that is the resonance you spoke of. And I use your surroundings in order to show you what you lack. Yet you must view this law, this mirroring, above all from the standpoint I now communicate to you:
See, when you notice a fault in your neighbor where you think: ‘I do not like that, that hurts me,’ then you act correspondingly with regard to Me. That means: what the person I send you shows you, this fault you commit toward Me on the soul-spiritual level. This is important; you must know this, for it is a key that opens your hearts to Me. And you know the many practical examples of everyday life where you meet people—not enemies, but nevertheless encounters where you have a negative feeling: ‘I do not like this now, this bothers me.’ Then go within yourselves and consider: ‘Where do I act this way toward God? Where do I wound God’s love in the way this person is showing me now?’
This is a deep initiation, My children, a tool in your hand for advancing more quickly, for there the hidden corners of your soul are illuminated.
Now I have again handed you a piece of bread, a word. It is a meal—you dine at My table together with Me. I sit with you at the table and hand you heavenly nourishment. And so you will leave here satisfied. Yet this nourishment remains your possession; there is nothing to excrete.
Yes, My children, this still for completion. I have promised you that we will dive still more deeply into divine knowledge, which is also necessary. Wisdom is to be paired with love. It is like a railroad track: the two rails run parallel, but the train cannot run on one rail; it needs both—love and wisdom, warmth and light. Amen.”
Samuel: This is a very serious matter in which it is about life and death. We must move away from the pictorial surface and immerse ourselves in the true understanding of the process of redemption in which we find ourselves. It is about leaving the old person. To understand rightly what this means requires courage for depth; for this a person must move away from his old patterns and habits, otherwise he mixes clear and cloudy and nothing comes of it.
Jesus says again and again that we should finally wake up from our ‘softened world’ and understand that the life He wants to give us is entirely different from our life up to now. A mighty jolt must go through our souls, bringing about a lasting opening for God’s ray of salvation.
To drink Jesus’ blood and eat His flesh means to accept His word consistently and put it into practice in everyday life—without beautification or sugarcoating, with all consequences. That alone is what it is about. It costs painful sacrifices. If it does not hurt, if one feels no resistance, one is not on the path of truth and life, but is deceiving oneself or is still blind in self-knowledge; or one is already perfect in and through Jesus Christ—but who is that?
Dear brothers and sisters, we must make a greater effort; time presses. Go more into stillness, not to dream, but with open hearts to Jesus Christ, who is always with us and waits for our turning toward Him. Then everything will be well.

Jesus says: “My peace fill this room and your hearts. I have brought you together in order to unite you in My heart, to unite you in My Spirit of love and truth. I have opened heaven for you and for the many who now have insight into this room.
My children, you who live in this phase of transformation and renewal, I show you the conditions and processes of this time with the help of past events. How was it then when in My grace, represented by Moses, I freed My people Israel from the bondage of Egypt? I led it through the divided sea into the desert, where I fed it with manna from heaven when it suffered hunger and thirst and longed to return to the fleshpots of Egypt. I made an eternal covenant with it and gave it the commandments which enabled My people to remain free from sin. But when My grace withdrew from My people for a short time, it erected a golden calf; yes, it made for itself its own god out of matter. My people again worshiped matter and reveled in it, although before it had been guided and sustained by My Spirit. Then I returned with My grace and created divine right and divine order anew and commanded it to bring Me righteous burnt offerings. Then I led the righteous into the promised land. There through My grace I had a temple built, within which the Ark of the Covenant, My Spirit, was placed in the innermost part.
And so, My children, what once happened happens again now. You are the new people Israel, distributed over the whole Earth. Again I lead you out of the world, which now represents the end-time antichristian slavery, the satanic system. My grace divides the sea for you, which means that I open the gate to the freedom of the Spirit for you and close it again behind you, and the waves of My justice will destroy those who pursue you in order to kill you. And so you come unharmed into the desert of separation from the world, in which through My grace I give you My commandments of love. In it you too, My children, are separated from one another: the lukewarm and unfaithful, who long for their old earthly existence and there again take hold of their dead soul-food, from the earnest and faithful, who take hold of and preserve the new life of grace in Me through love for Me.
And the lukewarm and unfaithful I will throw into the fire of My zeal and they will taste and feel death; and the faithful I will lead into the freedom of My eternal love. The latter I then lead into the promised land, into My heart. And the new covenant I have entered into with you is then not a covenant of law, but it is the covenant of love of our hearts for eternity. Amen.
My children, what does the Ark of the Covenant represent, which I once had Moses and his faithful ones build? And what the burnt offering? The Ark of the Covenant corresponds to My Spirit in your hearts, which My grace has placed there. And whenever you enter your heart, My Spirit will touch you and speak to you the words that instruct you toward eternal life. And the burnt offering symbolizes that you are to place your transgressions on the altar of love; thus your wrong thinking and doing is illuminated and penetrated by truth. And the color of the smoke corresponds to the color and purity of your conscience. If your conscience is pure and free, you have sacrificed rightly; if it is heavy, then you have brought Me only an apparent sacrifice, have made the sacrifice from desire for gain, or have secretly taken it back again. Thus you are to recognize whether you have truly sacrificed or only apparently, and whether I have accepted your sacrifice.
And one more parable is to show you the conditions of this time, since many of My children ask Me to end the unspeakable events that now cover and penetrate this Earth. See the parable of the weeds and the wheat: a landowner had wheat sown, which then grew well. But when the wheat formed ears, suddenly a great amount of weeds sprang up in the good field. The servants asked the lord whether they should weed out the weeds. He said: ‘So that it does not harm the high-grown wheat, let the weeds grow. When both have come to maturity, through you I will have My wheat harvested and brought into the barns. Only afterward will I have the weeds bound, dried, and burned for the cleansing of the field as fertilizer of the new earth.’
See, My children, the comparison with this time. Noble people, children of God, those invited to the feast, virgins with oil in their lamps—they are the wheat. Evil people, antichristianity—they are the weeds. The field is this Earth. As described in the parable, I say also today: everything must come to maturity; only then will I harvest. My own I will fill with My Spirit at the right time; I will bring them home into the heavenly barns, into the New Jerusalem. The evil I will judge according to their words and deeds and to these they will be bound, and their own lukewarmness and wickedness will be the fire that torments them in outermost darkness, from where one day, after eons, they may begin the long journey anew in the cycle of life and death, according to their repentance and humility.
Yes, My children, as then so today. What happened then repeats itself now on another level, in a new dimension of time. And you are in the middle of it and are those whom I sent into this time and whom I call My children now and forevermore.
So you now walk over this Earth, and to this I say again and again: your trust opens the door for Me, so that I gain access to your earthly existence. For know: there is a great difference whether you receive something from the hand of the world or from My hand.
Worldly people, the godless, are subject to the destiny of the divinely judging law; I do not interfere with them, indeed cannot, for the door is closed to Me. But with My children I have access, for your trust and your love for Me are the opened door through which My ray of grace can act, through which I can enter your world and thereby make you happy with My presence. You live in My mercy, while the existence of the children of the world is determined by My law. What a difference! Always make yourselves conscious of this; then you remain in humility, then the gate of your heart remains open for Me. My children, I love you, I stand up for you, I am with you at all times. Amen.
And to those present from the beyond I say: you too have been permitted today to share in My grace and to hear My word in one way or another; for My grace is there for all, also for those who walk in darkness and know nothing of the truth of the one God in Jesus Christ. So know, you who do not recognize your death: your bodies are already in the grave and you are in the world beyond. Therefore let your request and your call be that you call My name, ask redemption in My name; then I will send you light which will guide you on paths where you can make up what you have missed, in order finally to reach your home in the beyond. There is no further staying here for you. Take these words for your salvation and blessing. Amen.”
Spiritual vision, Samuel: The room is filled with the light of love of our heavenly Father. Everything is love, radiating out into infinity. Jesus stands in the middle of the room; He wears a white garment, He has blond flowing hair, blue gentle yet strong eyes. A gentle smile plays around His face, His bearing is upright and dignified. His heart is wide open; grace and mercy stream forth from it and seek the lost and lonely. O Father, Your love is unspeakable; Your heart, it is everything that ever was and will be and is: love, love, and love again.
* * *
Beloved heavenly Father, once again we have come together in order to feel Your love in Your presence. Our hearts are still touched, and today You have kindled our longing still more strongly; our longing that our life should be wholly in Your hand and in Your heart, that we may belong to You and may be workers in Your vineyard in this time. For this You trained us and sent us to Earth. We are not here for our amusement; we are not here to serve the world. And yet many of us served the world before You touched us; we still carry much ballast with us. And You have already said that You gladly take this ballast from us, and yet You also say…
Here the Father continues: “… yes, My children, you yourselves must do something as well. Yes, I come more than halfway to meet you; I reach out My hand to you; I have opened My heart; I knock at your heart’s door, but you must open, you must set out. The free will of the human being is the supreme commandment of this creation; I do not intervene in a person’s life. I stand at the heart’s door and wait patiently. And I am ready at all times; it makes no difference to Me how you are constituted, how much ballast and dirt you carry with you—that is all the same to Me.
And when a child then comes to Me and says: ‘Dear Father, I am ready, I want to walk this path,’ then I write your sins in the sand, My child. Then there is no sinful past for you anymore, but only a future with Me and in Me.
And then I say: now sin no more. What does that mean? What is sin? Many thoughts are present in you; they come and go—beautiful thoughts, bad thoughts. Now let us take an example: a thought of sin appears within you. For example, speaking evil of a person, deceiving someone, stealing from someone, betraying someone, taking revenge because someone has insulted or humiliated you. Is that already sin, to see these thoughts within oneself? No, certainly not. It is sin only when you integrate this thought into your will, when you grasp it and deliberately make it your own. As long as you do not do that, you do not sin.
This is a dilemma of many of My children, who think that all thoughts becoming visible within them are already sin. No, it is not so, My children. Sin happens only by placing one’s will-energy into the thought, taking it into one’s soul-life, whereby it receives power to act.
And when I say: sin no more from now on, I mean that you reject evil thoughts more and more often in earnest endeavor, that you let them pass and thus remain free. And only then, when such thoughts gain a foothold in you ever more rarely—these energies that sweep you into their darkness—and at the same time My presence within you takes ever more shape, then the relationship between sin and the presence of God changes for the better.
Now it is so that in many of you sin still occupies a great space in your soul and only a small space remains for Me. But when you let your hearts be free of sin, the space of sin within you becomes ever smaller and My space ever greater within you, until finally the space of your soul belongs to Me.
That is the goal, that is the goal of this creation as a whole, that is the goal of every human being: rebirth in the Spirit. And see now what grace you stand in to know this. See how many people walk blindly through this world and do not know the meaning of life—My children, it is almost all of them. And there are only so few who have set out to want to recognize truth and love in Me and live accordingly. And you are a part of these My children who have taken this into their lives, who strive after and live according to this truth—as I said, in this process of ‘still becoming.’
And yet you now recognize forcefully in the picture of the relationship that the composition worldly sin—God’s life is to transform ever more within you, and that this is an automatic process set in motion by your grasping ever less at the sinful thoughts which you can recognize in the light of your conscience, whereby the space of sin becomes increasingly smaller while at the same time My space naturally becomes larger within you. Is that not wonderful?
And so you see, it is not all that difficult to be My child at My side; it is not all that difficult to sin no more, for with My faithful ones I already make up where something is still lacking. I take your endeavor as the good will to act. And where you fail again and again, I already come alongside, and suddenly this one step will succeed, like a musician who diligently practices on his instrument—eventually he masters his instrument. And as I have often emphasized: the soul is an instrument on which you must practice several hours every day—and actually, if viewed rightly, one practices all day, for one lives all day as a soul in this world.
And I am active during your sleep as well; much happens while you are not in your daytime consciousness. There you are instructed anew, there the soul is purified. And it also matters how one goes into sleep, what one does before. A good-night prayer to Me is so important. A quiet prayer, a lifting of the heart to Me. And in the morning the prayer: ‘My Jesus, lead me through this day, walk at my side, and if I fall help me up again. And if I am sad, touch me; and if I have worry and fears, help me so that in them I can lift my heart to You, so that I become free again, so that I can go through this day without burden.’ For only in this way can you serve Me, My children, free from the burden of the soul. The soul must be free for love.
Thus I bless you once more, penetrate your souls with My Spirit wherever it is possible. Wherever hearts are open, I enter and fill My child with My grace, with My love. I am there for you at all times; stand firm in faith, stand firm in trust, do not worry about life and death of the body, it is all in My hand. Your lives belong to Me and I am God, Amen; I am God Almighty and there is none apart from Me. Amen.”
* * *
Jesus says: “My peace be with you. My blessing, My children, fills this room: the great space around you and the still greater space of your hearts. For your hearts are infinite within themselves, in Me, and one day you will enter this world of your hearts as it was formed in this world.
This world is one side of the preparation; My world is the other side. The one world, the world of transience, death, and time, in which you nourish yourselves from the tree of knowledge; the other world, which I offer you, the world of eternity, which nourishes you with the fruits of the tree of life. And so as human beings you are placed in two worlds in order to give you the possibility of deciding for this or that world. And you know, this freedom of decision is necessary: where you direct your love, to whom you give your love, and what you do with the divine love within you.
My children, ask yourselves: ‘What does love actually mean to me? What is love?’
Love has many spaces; love offers many possibilities. In order to experience love, it is necessary to come into stillness, to bring the thoughts to rest. To behold the beauty of love requires a quiet heart, requires the willingness to want to see beauty; not the beauty of the world, but the beauty of the invisible. To enter into it, to go farther than faith initially offers one.
But there is also the danger that one decides for Me because one feels within oneself a longing for the divine, for love and security in God—and then the world enters in, and unfortunately it is then often so that the soul hardens in this unconditional desire to reach God, to serve God, and the person then slips into fanaticism, believing that he serves Me and yet it is so that he serves the will to power, self-will, and violence.
Love is gentleness and goodness, love is forbearance and patience, love is willingness to sacrifice. Love is like water, which always seeks the low place—that is humility; it is the foundation of love; pride is the enemy of love. Yes, pride too is love, but only love of oneself and not of God and one’s neighbors.
And it is often difficult for you, My children, to recognize what color your love bears, what garment you have put on your love. A beautiful, shining garment can carry false love within it. Therefore self-examination is so important in My presence, for only I am the light of truth and only I can illuminate your inner being; only with Me should and can you look into and enter the abysses of your souls, for alone you would lose yourselves. Therefore it is necessary to ask Me again and again: ‘Dear heavenly Father, show me what is still wrong and false within me. Lead me into my inner world.’ And then I am ready—you know that I fulfill all requests that serve your progress; I am there and ready to dissolve the darkness within you.
You are indeed bearers and revealers of My Spirit; the vitality of God dwells within you. My children are the light of the world; you form My body; you are bearers of My return, the preparers of the Kingdom of Peace—see this responsibility! And so I lay earnestness and effort upon you. And I already said: I will add My part. Good will counts, and My child feels exactly certain things it must leave because they are an obstacle on the way to Me. I speak it aloud as the voice of your conscience, and then there is also once a time for you to let go of and leave worldly bonds, otherwise one goes in circles—this too is necessary to know.
But know: I always work underneath. It is often so that a child thinks it is not advancing on the path to Me, and yet much happens in the depths of the soul. And when My child then takes another step forward, this spiritual work that has happened in the depths of its soul reveals itself to it, this divine preparation in secret. And then it suddenly notices: ‘Oh, beautiful, that is in me too!’ And the joy that then comes at tangible and visible progress is an incentive to go on, to continue. Yes, to see a result in advancing is important for you; it is confidence and motivation.
When you go into stillness and seek My presence, then I always enlighten you about every situation that occupies and apparently hinders you in earthly existence; you need only listen. Yes, I speak to all My children. What father would not want to speak to his children merely because they cannot yet see? That would have to be a cruel father.
What do I mean by this? It is not up to Me whether we come together, for I am always ready. Take time; you have it—though yes, often the world challenges you, the world is loud and makes noise, it pulls at the souls. And I, I am the Silent One before your door. Decide.
I spoke of the beauty of love. Can one behold love? Yes, one can behold love by doing good. When one does good to one’s neighbors, when one brings joy to people in need, then in this happening one beholds the beauty of love. It is something wonderful to behold love. And whoever beholds love beholds Me, for I am love. And whoever gives away love gives Me away. And when you give Me to people, then I touch Myself in the heart of that person and an awakening can take place, not outwardly obvious and yet… something always happens when love is involved—selfless love, healing love, divine love. Amen.”

Excerpts from the Feierstunden in Zorneding 2023/24
Jesus speaks: “My son, you do not need to pray for long, for I am already here. I have filled this room with light; I have filled this room with love. I am here, in your midst, to give each one of you the blessing from My heart; to raise up again those who are currently in a difficult phase of life and feel that darkness wants to take possession of them. And I am with those who, in this phase of their lives, are permitted to live with their eyes upon Me. Thus I unite you in this circle, to raise those who are in need and to gladden those who are conscious of My presence.
I have called many in here, so do not be surprised that I speak not only to you, but also to those who now press in here, those who stand near you and those who stand far from you. Many are among them whom you know—your forebears and ancestors. For you are the last link in a chain, a circle that is now closing, and thus your ancestors too find redemption through your entrusting your lives to Me.
They are all included—the bloodline reaches far back. There are some who left this Earth hundreds of years ago and have not yet found their way home, have not yet found their spiritual dwelling place, and who now, in this time when the graves are opening and the dead are being awakened to life, may attain redemption.
I am the Word and I am the Life. And so here now, with My word, My life spreads out and fills the souls of all. You know it, My children: it is love that makes everything possible, that redeems everything, that sets everything free. You also know that I dwell as love in your hearts and that you awaken Me by loving Me. Then I arise in you and you rise with Me to eternal life. This is reality.
These words of Mine can be regarded with the intellect, but in order to produce vitality within yourselves, these words of Mine can be understood only with the heart. The heart is necessary to give life to My words.
Your love for what is good, for truth, is reflected in your surroundings. Yet I also lead people to you who challenge you. These are the trials you urgently need in order to recognize yourselves. The diversity of the people of this Earth makes this process of development possible. Therefore rejoice when I bring you loving people who show you My love for you and mirror the love that lives in you. But also thank Me for the people who challenge you, who ‘annoy’ you, for they are the instruments you need in order to recognize the dark energy fields in your soul and offer them to Me. And the whole is precisely the perfection into which I place you.
My children, ask Me to open your hearts ever more fully to My love. Ask Me to open My heart ever more fully to your love. Ask Me, and I will give to you! This is not merely something said in passing. The request of My child means a great deal to Me as God. I overlook no request. I consider every thought and every word you direct to Me. My wisdom weighs it, and then I place My wisdom into My mercy. And this package, this package of light, is then the action, is then what I give you in response to your request. Yet it is always a gift of My heart, meant to help you draw nearer to Me—if you view it rightly and receive it from My hand.
There are already many little islands of light on this Earth. They are little islands that form a network, and spiritually you are all connected with one another. It makes no difference whether it takes place on the other side of this Earth or how great the distance is. In the spiritual realm that distance does not exist. It is a unity in the Spirit that envelops this Earth and combats and penetrates the darkness of this Earth. For it is a spiritual battle; everything that takes place on the material level is the outer covering of spiritual processes.
And you whom I have now brought together into small communities—you have already heard it—each of you has a very special task. This task will unfold increasingly in love for Me, while My love for My children will be felt ever more strongly. It will become ever brighter within you; you will feel love for your fellow human beings more and more often, and you will experience divine blessing more and more. For this is necessary; otherwise you cannot carry out your mission. You need My presence, My vitality in your soul—and so it shall happen. And you must firmly believe that it will happen.
There are children who do not believe it and do not feel worthy that I should arise in them as God. That is not true humility. True humility consists in recognizing oneself as a child of God and creating room within oneself for Me so that I may arise in you. That is humility.
If I had not awakened you, what sense would there be in not leading you onward to the place I have prepared for you? Every divine act contains a divine goal, a divine completion, an unfolding of the divine potential and the divine identity. In your essence, that is what you really are—and not the outward earthly human being.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “My children, I am still standing in your midst and have been present during your conversations. And as you see, just as there are different characters and personalities, there are different paths and different levels of faith. Yes, My children are on different levels—and some stray a little from the path. Then I am always ready to lead My child back again.
And some children stop on the path, do not go on, and say, ‘The path is not as I imagined it.’ Then I come and say: My child, you lack humility. You want to shape the path yourself. Do you want to say that you are the way, the truth, and the life? Are you serious, My child? Do you want to establish a divine order for yourself? See, this path leads into an abyss. Many traps are set there. That is why it is so necessary to remember again and again that you need Me and that I should shape your life.
Yes, you have wishes, and I fulfill them—spiritual wishes at any time. I also fulfill material wishes when you gratefully receive them from My hand—if they serve your salvation. Yet I often have to put a stop to your wishes, for some are dangerous, even though you think, ‘Oh, but that is good for me!’
But I have the far-reaching view. I see far into eternity, and a small change here to your disadvantage can mean a great detour. Yet I want to lead you on the straight path. Yes, there is urgency. I hasten toward you to take you by the hand and hasten onward with you in this short time that still remains. For you are to live in My presence already before I send My Spirit of truth and justice upon this Earth to ‘judge’ it, so that you may then experience My general return together with Me. And not much time remains until then. For this reason I have formed these islands, these communities. For this reason I am with you, to draw you, and also to urge you onward.
Yet when I reveal My heart to you, there is also a great danger. For then divine power flows into you and you can misuse that power, that power of love. And that is what Satan does as well. He knows Me; Satan knows of My great patience and long-suffering and of My love. He knows that if he turns back, I will receive him with open arms. And he takes advantage of this. He uses My love for his purposes. He laughs at Me in My patience and love.
And with a child it can likewise happen that it makes use of My love and says, ‘Dear Father, I know You always receive me anyway. I can still indulge my pleasures now; I can still go my own ways. I will come to You later, and then You will receive me anyway.’
But I tell you, My children, you fail to recognize the seriousness of the situation. Yes, I am ready, but there must be effort on your part. I can forgive your sins only if from now on you show a serious effort not to sin anymore. And a child of My heart knows very well what sin is. You feel exactly when you leave the right path—I show it to you at all times.
I told you: whoever opens the door for Me, there I enter. What is My entering into your soul? It is being filled with My Spirit, it is the descent of the Holy Spirit, it is the rapture, it is rebirth in Me. This is what I want to give you.
And some think, ‘I am still a very long way from that.’ And it is good to think so, for recognizing this is an act of humility. And if a child thinks, ‘I am already close to rebirth; I do everything well and correctly,’ then I say: My child, then you have not yet rightly recognized either Me or yourself. For only I am good in you, and everything of yours is sin. Only when I arise in you is it good. Only then are you a true child of God. As long as you are not a child of God, you are a creature under My lawful order. And yet I say again: My mercy takes My creatures into My love and makes them My children, and that is why I call you so. That is what you are, you who have earnestly set out to walk the path with Me.”
Short pause
Jesus speaks: “It is distress that brings many people to pray—and great distress will come upon this Earth. Yet a person who walks at My side sees the divine plan behind everything, which always leads everything toward the good. For there is a certain necessity in what takes place on this Earth. Seen from My perspective, Satan is preparing the field for My Kingdom. He is bringing this world to collapse with the intention of erecting his kingdom upon it. Yet in truth it is I who establish My Kingdom, and through this his finally perishes. And so one sees that evil must always serve the good—when one views it rightly, views it with Me.
And I want to tell you one more thing. Yes, distress brings people to pray. Yet it is something much greater and more valuable when a person comes to Me without distress. When things are going well for someone, he can move freely, is healthy, has a good income—in other words, he is placed in good circumstances. And then he comes to Me and gives thanks; he receives his well-being in humility from My hand and rejoices that I give it to him. My beloved, that is what I expect of you.
My children, the first word prepared the field. This word has now drawn the furrows, and I will give one more word to scatter the seed into the field of your souls and hearts. Amen.”
Short pause
Jesus speaks: “From My heart a ray of light goes to your hearts, and this light connects your hearts with one another, so that a wheel has formed, a circle of light. And now it is necessary that your thoughts become even more still, that you entrust yourselves wholly to Me, to be free, to feel My presence, to receive My Spirit.
May vitality and love fill your hearts. It is I, Jesus Christ, God Almighty, Father of My children. I am love, and love is My life, and life is truth. And all this together is My Spirit of vitality. I have placed divine power in you; everything that is Mine is contained in you. You are My children. In you is divine love and divine life. Vitality that is still more or less bound, and I want to release this spirit in you. For this it is necessary that you recognize Me.
I spoke of a certain danger in revealing Myself fully to you—and yet it is necessary. And I see the ground on which each of My children stands. Humility, you know, is the foundation of love, and pride is the enemy of love—I do not step onto that ground.
And so it will soon come, My children: for those who are ready, I will release My Spirit in their hearts. Yet I can do it only for those who wholly leave the world, who keep nothing back for themselves but let go even of the last thing, recognizing that the world is nothing but death and transience. And that is once more a decisive step, this final surrender, this dying in Me so that I may rise in you. It is a very great act, and not many people are willing to take this step.
Yes, there is also a gradual rebirth, one can call it that. And for many of My children this occasional feeling of My presence is enough. Yet there is something much greater still. And precisely in this time I have called and appointed you to take this step, this final step into My heart. It may be that there will be great turmoil in you once again.
Yes, Satan will approach you, and for this reason I show you his tricks and traps. For he has many entrances and possibilities, but all in connection with the world. And therefore I said: turn your eyes away from the world and look at Me. I give you the signs you need to recognize what is necessary—you then feel it; you have it in your feeling, in your soul.
And I tell you one more thing: if you taste only a tiny part of My Spirit in this final step of surrender, then it draws you into the Spirit, and everything else falls away from you anyway. But you must take this step—give Me this proof of faithfulness that you truly want it.
If you are repeatedly drawn toward the world, before the television, the computer, to seek distraction (Jesus does not mean good, informative, and necessary activities in the media here), whatever it may be, if you are still subject to any addictions, it is now time to let go. It is a process—and yet it is only one step toward Me, and I take hold of you. Therefore gather your courage, your willpower, and give it to Me. Then I flow into your will and it becomes one will and one love—the birth into Me.
My children, I love you, I love you very much. I desire nothing more than to clasp you in My arms already now (Jesus means here: to fill them ahead of time with His Spirit and/or take them from the Earth); and yet I may not do so. A fruit picked from the tree before it is ripe is not fit to enjoy. Grain harvested before it is ripe cannot be used. Everything needs its ripeness, so leave it to Me. I know the state of every ripening. I know when the fruit is ripe.
Therefore remain in trust, remain in patience, remain in surrender. I am with you at all times. My heart is wide open. Thus I bless you and lay My hands upon your heads. I unite you, this little island that has now formed here, this island of love that now shines out into the world, the light that now spreads and flows and lays itself around this globe—from this place where My heart is wide open. And so you have a share in My work, you are part of My light, you are part of My love.
So it shall be and so it shall remain. And I will bring you together again in this or that circle, to speak to you, to give you courage, to prove My love to you. Amen.”
Samuel: Now I perceive that heaven has opened. The stillness of heaven is manifesting in this room. The inhabitants of heaven all look toward Jesus, who stands here in the midst. Absolute stillness in heaven, which one can feel. It is a quiet joy. Divine joy is a concentrated essence that fills the soul. Bliss, permeated by divine love, by unspeakable peace and unity in Jesus Christ.
This heavenly consciousness that now shines into this room is the wordless prayer of these brothers and sisters of ours who did not put on an earthly body but remained in the spiritual homeland to accompany us in prayer. Whole hosts of angels pray for us, that we may not be lost and that we may walk this path to the end. There is great joy that we have already come this far, that we walk with Jesus and have not sunk into antichristian esotericism and spirituality. The rays of light from their hearts to our hearts are the spiritual embrace now bestowed upon us. In the material earthly realm it would be a bodily embrace.
* * *
Jesus speaks: “Amen, My children, I have come to fulfill your longing and to fulfill My longing. Does a father not have great longing for his children? How greatly he wishes that his children would turn their faces toward him, full of trust and joy that their father is there for them.
And yet I say: there are so many of My children who pray to Me and speak to Me, yet they have turned their faces away and look in another direction and do not look into My face. And then they wonder that they do not hear My word, that they may not receive My love; for if their faces are turned away from Me, their hearts are not with Me either, but point in another direction. And see, that makes every father sad—Me as well.
And now, in this room, it is a joy to Me that you have directed your hearts and eyes, the eyes of your souls, toward Me—thus both our longings are fulfilled. When your hearts are open to My word, you can experience the vitality of the word; then the word becomes alive in you and through it you become alive, for I am the Word and I am the Life.
And so joy fills this room, divine joy—My joy, your joy, and the joy of all who are still here from the heavens, and the joy of those in the worlds beyond who are permitted to take part in this fellowship. For many who may now receive and seize this ray of light of My love now have the possibility of going out of the valley of lostness, despair, and darkness, along this ray of light of My word, so that they may become free and find their heavenly Father, who loves them too above all and wants to help them become free and happy. For this is My will: to spread bliss for My children by their freely opening themselves in love toward Me, opening their hearts in humility to receive Me.
My children, what is it like when morning begins and the sun rises? Do night and day unite? No, My children, it is not so. The night must fade when the day begins. What does that mean for you? It means that you must experience a new birth, that you must leave the old human being entirely behind in order to become a new person. That you must let go of the old things still clinging to you, otherwise you cannot experience the new day. That you must not cling to the night, for the night must end when the day begins.
Thus everything is undergoing transformation in time and finally enters eternity. Death moves toward life, darkness into light; this is how I planned it beforehand and this is how it will happen, until at last everything is immersed in the light, in the light of truth.
And now the time has come: the light of truth will descend upon this Earth, and here too the darkness will fade. Yet only light will endure the light; only love will be able to receive My love. And whatever does not correspond to it will go other ways, will be led into a new long process, by other paths, in other dwellings.
But you, My children, you have arrived. Consider what it means to complete this cycle: from where you once came forth—from My heart—and having gone this eons-long path through the ages, now the circle of your existence closes in order to enter imperishable being. You cannot measure what this means. Now you still stand in faith, and in this faith you receive My words, and you recognize the truth of these words, for truth is within you, for I am within you.
Yes, I have prepared many gifts for this Christmas, which you may observe in time as it is established on this Earth, but not in the way people do it, overwhelming one another with presents. In spiritual correspondence it is of course something good to give one another love, understanding, and affection. Yet everything on this Earth has become materialized, and so the gifts have become matter.
And so, when you observe Christmas Eve, I would be glad if you devoted one hour of that evening only to Me, also within the circle of your families. That you listen to contemplative music, enter into stillness, and connect yourselves with Me. Not many people do that; at Christmas they carry Me along on the side and say, ‘Yes, God is born, but I am interested in quite different things.’ Do not do so, My children.
Only when you are ready to receive will the Christ Child be born in you—and actually He has already been born in you, in this awakening from your earthly captivity and bondage, from earthly death; He must now grow within you.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “My children, I want to tell you something about God and the heavenly Father. See, from here I now govern this creation. From here I give life to everything, from the smallest atom to the greatest sun. My consciousness permeates infinity and is infinity itself. A consuming fire that devours everything and gives life to everything at the same time. Thus I am the Godhead, which can never be fathomed in its depth, which you can never comprehend in its infinity—and yet you are embedded in this consciousness as children of My love. And there I am the heavenly Father. As heavenly Father I protect you from the almighty Godhead. This is one way to view it.
Yes, as heavenly Father I hold My protecting hands over you, cradle you in the love of My heart, to lead you into eternal bliss—while at the same time I am this eternally consuming fire, a consciousness that devours itself and gives birth to itself at the same time in eternity and infinity.
For you this means that only the heavenly Father is important for you. That you should call upon Me only as heavenly Father and love Me and not blindly enter the labyrinth of God’s infinite wisdom, for that is this fire, this fire-light that permeates everything and that you can never comprehend comprehensively. Rather, you receive from Me the wisdom you need out of love for Me, in the measure of your love.
Thus I created a body for Myself for your sake, once 2,000 years ago, so that you have a heavenly Father before you, tangible, visible, and touchable for eternity. In Him the Godhead is also hidden, but never revealed to you in its entirety; only love is revealed.
It is not yet possible for you to comprehend this fully, but you believe My words and recognize the truth, and nothing more is needed than love for Me. To recognize Me in this love, in My gentleness and goodness, in this care for My children—to recognize Me in this is the door for you to merge into this love. You therefore need the recognition of what your heavenly Father is like and how He behaves toward you—what He means to you. For this I have come, to tell you that My only desire is to make you happy, to protect you, to keep you, and to clasp you in My arms.
For this I called creation into life, this process of freedom and of return within it. And as I said, you have now been called and appointed by Me to arrive in My heart. But that is no guarantee for you that it will happen. You know that you must contribute your part. You must walk with Me, you must take My hand, you must take hold of My heart, otherwise it will not work. You must leave certain things behind, as I already said: the night must pass when the day begins. Understand it rightly. These are serious words; understanding them decides between life and death.
And why did I say that I distribute many gifts at Christmas? It is because I now pour out special graces upon this Earth. Yet I must be careful not to overwhelm you with My light of love, which you cannot yet endure in full measure. And yet an open heart, which bears infinity within itself, can receive much. And it is up to you to make your hearts wide for My love.
Thus it is a togetherness, a fellowship in giving and receiving and then in union—something wonderful that I have prepared for you.
Thus My love streams into your hearts and no longer lets you go. Only you can tear yourselves away from Me, but I will never let you go. If you turn away from Me, then I stand there and wait—as a testimony of My love for you. You know, you have arrived at the point where there is no turning back—in the good sense. And when you turn away from Me, sadness, self-reproach, and discouragement also come upon you. Yet know that I am always there, like a source of fresh water that bubbles and flows. Thus I never look back at what was, but look only at what is coming and what can and will be. Amen.”
Samuel: Jesus now goes around the circle and lays a hand on each person’s shoulder, with the other hand upon His heart, and opens His heart by opening the hand over His heart forward and speaking to each one of us:
“My child, now a ray of light connects us from heart to heart. I anchor this peace in your heart. And now I want you to become conscious that you feel this peace, this presence of Mine, this handshake of Mine, this touch of My heart that connects and unites us forever—which indeed already existed—but now draws you a great step nearer to Me, ties an even stronger bond between us, one that no one can tear apart and that will inevitably unite us—like two magnets attracting one another.
And whenever in the time ahead, which will not be easy for you, you are thrown into unrest, remember this touch. This trust that awakens when you think of Me, this surrender of your life to Me in the knowledge that I am Lord over life and death and no one else, for I have the power and there is only one power and that is I—the power and the strength and the truth: Jesus Christ.”
Beloved heavenly Father, You have now given us so much in Your word, and in truth it is the answer to all the questions that occupy us. And Your answer concerns everyone, those on this side and those in the beyond who may also be here. Yet when a particular burden presses us, give the impulse in our hearts that we may lay it before You. For You say again and again that we can and should give You our burdens…
Jesus continues: “…and then you take them back from Me again, and then you give them to Me again and then you fetch them back once more. So it goes back and forth and you never become free, because you cannot and will not let go of the burden. And that is precisely what it is about: to lay what oppresses you upon the altar of sacrifice, so that My love may consume it, so that the burden may be burned in My heart.
The sacrifice you bring Me, your heavenly Father—when it has been consumed by My love, then you are free. But only if you bring the sacrifice joyfully, as Abel once did, so that the smoke rose upward, a white smoke toward heaven; whereas Cain brought Me the sacrifice full of reluctance and the smoke was dark and fell to the earth. So it is with your sacrifice as well. Only when, full of humility, trust, and joy, you offer the sacrifice to Me does it rise into My heart and not fall to the earth, where it clings to you again. Understand it: it is so important not to sacrifice to Me unwillingly, but to say, ‘Dear Father, You asked me to give it to You, not because You want to enslave or control me, but because You want to make me free.’
In this recognition lie the joy and the necessity of seeing that you must give these things away in order to be able to live permanently in My presence, though invisible, yet perceptible. And a child of My heart knows exactly what it can and should do and refrain from doing.
Yes, one can certainly ask the question: ‘What is important in the world to do and to leave undone, and what should I give You, dear Father?’ When a child asks Me such a question, I am always ready to answer. You only need to enter into stillness and become quiet; then I place the answer in your heart. Then you know what you have to do.”
Dear Father, so in stillness we now lay before You, who have formed this altar in this room—Your heart as the altar of love—our petitions and burdens upon it. Free us from what separates us from You, from what repeatedly pulls us down into the dark regions of uncertainty and doubt.
“Yes, My children, I am here. It happens as I say. And what I spoke to you today is truth and reality; that is your life, that is your future, that is your eternal presence in Me.”
Samuel: Now this room is filling more and more with light. I can see your souls; they are now filled with white light, and only your outlines create separation between you. In every soul there is a golden-yellow heart. Because of our bondage to matter we cannot perceive it this way, yet in the spiritual world it is evident who we really are, because we walk our path with Jesus, because we have accepted Jesus and love Him. But this must first become conscious reality for us in union with the inner human being, with our divine identity. Some may think, ‘But I am not there yet; I feel unworthy.’
To this Jesus says: “My child, if My light were not shining into you, you could not feel unworthy. Your feeling of unworthiness is a sign of My presence; otherwise you would not have this thought. And that leads you into humility. Unworthiness before God is the prerequisite for humility, and humility is the foundation of love. And so everything is good. Do not despair in the consciousness of being unworthy before Me, but firmly believe that I have accepted you, that I will lead you into My perfection through the power of love. This is My word for you. Believe it firmly, and it will happen. Amen.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “My children, I greet you from My heart. My heart is open; love permeates, shines through, and fills this room. Love fills the space of your hearts; and so we form a unity, a divine unity of love that is to renew you and raise you up in this dark time.
Yes, again and again you need My nourishment: the Word from My mouth, spoken out into the world and also spoken in your hearts. These are seeds of love, planted in the soil of your souls, which you must then continually water with works of love toward your neighbor. And then these plants sprout, they grow and flourish and give you fruits of eternal life. For I am a giver and not a taker. My bliss consists in giving, for I am love—and love can only give and love only wants to give, and love gives and gives and gives itself away to everything that has opened itself to love. Yet only a few who chose this earthly path have opened themselves to this love. And there I stand before the doors and knock, through distress, through joy.
And among My messengers too, among the children of My heart who resolved to walk a certain path on this Earth, to fulfill a certain task, many of them too do not walk the path as they intended. And then I must set them right again, whether on this side through brief distress, through humiliation, or in the beyond, where the path becomes long and narrow and still leads through many a valley.
Yet here on this Earth the path is short. Yes, it is indeed narrow, but it is only a moment. And this moment has now opened for you, the moment of My word—an eternal moment that opens briefly here in this room and takes you into this eternity of love.
Thus I stand here in this room as Creator, as God of infinity—thus I stand here in this room as Father. And this Father, who I am for My children, I have placed in your hearts. The word Father is written in your hearts, but you must bring it to life. You should not speak this word with the intellect, but with the heart. You must give love to the word Father. As a little child full of trust says ‘Father’ to his father and carefree entrusts his life to him and his heart glows as he looks up to his father—and to his mother—so you too should do. And then the Father becomes alive in you—only then, when you give Me life in you.
You have already breathed life into Me, more or less, and yet more and more often. And now you have arrived at a point in your earthly existence where I want to breathe new life into you again, so that you may once more recognize what it means to be a child of God and to have a Father in heaven who has the power of redemption, to whom all things are subject, to whom no limits are set, and who wants to train you to become gods.
Then some say to themselves, ‘But there is only one God.’ And I tell you: there is one Father who has many children. But are the children something other than the Father? Were they not born from Him? And as His children do they not have within themselves everything that the Father carries within Himself? And so, when a human child has set out to become a true child of God, and through love for Me and love of neighbor awakens and nourishes Me within himself, then that human being becomes a god.
Consider what this means. Consider who you really are. Consider what is actually contained within you. These are great thoughts, and often it is helpful to think such great thoughts, for there are many little thoughts that pinch and pester you, tug at you and annoy you; then enter into such great thoughts—who you truly are and who I truly am. And that everything that exists in infinity is contained within you. For everything contained within Me is also contained within you. There is no difference, except that I am the Father and you are the children. You can view this very simply; it is not complicated. And yet it requires all seriousness of life, truthfulness, and surrender to enter into this state of true childhood of God.
As I already said: many of My children do not reach what they resolved to reach, because they do too little. They do not take the path seriously enough. The world is stronger, the world is loud and colorful and pulls and presses and shouts. And I, I am the Quiet One, the Still One, gentleness. I stroke your hearts while the world beats upon them. And this loudness, this noise and raging of the world, has become habitual to you. You believe you find life in it, but it is a lie.
That is not life, My children. My child must walk through the valley of stillness; My child must have the courage to turn his eyes away from the world, whatever happens. It is necessary and important that you fulfill your earthly tasks; for this too you are here. Yet I must take first place, and then in fellowship with Me you can fulfill your earthly tasks. But it is often the case that the world separates you from Me and then, left on your own, you try to manage everything, and that succeeds to a certain degree, yet then it is not in My hand.
Yes, you have divine power within you that operates almost by itself. When you do something, it succeeds because you are born from Me and thereby automatically carry within you a certain divine power of will for success—both in good and in evil. Yet when you do something together with Me, then I intervene in your life, then I enter the sphere of your earthly existence and walk beside you and with you and you recognize My will. Then no evil spirit can trouble you either, for no one comes near Me unless I will it. Then you are protected and guarded.
Therefore see the importance of connecting yourselves with Me already in the morning, of giving the first thought to Me. Of bringing your love to life in the morning with thoughts of Me. Again and again to cast a glance toward Me; again and again to imagine that I walk beside you. And in the spiritual world this has reality, for your heart forms the world around you, and your love gives form to Me in your presence, makes Me present—for this you have the power.
And you also have the power of humility. Humility in turn says: you have received everything from God’s hand; you live because God lets you live. And then it is something wonderful to enter into this lowliness. Not to say, ‘I can only love my neighbor if I love myself.’ No, do not do so, My children. Esteem yourselves lowly; then you find your value in this space of humility, you find your value in divine love from Me. It is a great difference whether you love yourselves and say, ‘I think highly of myself, for I am a loving person,’ or whether divine love is active in you, which you radiate in humility. Therefore enter into this lowliness, in the knowledge that divine power dwells within you, which you ascribe to Me.
These are My words to you. Love love itself. Do not look at the fruit of love, but contemplate love itself. Find joy in the beauty of love. What grows from it is Mine. Amen, My children.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “My children, heaven has opened for you, for this world, now that I stand in the midst of this world. From here peace radiates and penetrates the dark clouds of the demonic world. The demonic world that now has so much power on this dark Earth for a certain time. I have released it; I give it the room it needs in order to be able to decide. Where conscience still exists, there I shine in and give them the possibility of turning back. Yet only a few now still allow themselves to be set right, for they are all possessed by lust for power. Wickedness has seized and filled their souls, and for a certain time they may still carry out their evil work.
Turn your eyes and hearts away from this activity. Direct your lives wholly toward Me. You know what is happening in the world; I have already told you how evil is permitted to act and that it will remain so for a certain time and will become much worse than it already is. Yet do not give it too much attention, for giving attention is an opening. You open a door with it, and through it darkness repeatedly streams in. And if I am then not with you, if you have not integrated Me into your life, then this darkness fills your sphere and you fall into distress again—as is so often the case.
This concerns not only the conduct of the world, but also the events and situations of your private sphere and surroundings, where there are obstacles, where so many things happen that you do not understand, that challenge you too greatly, that lead you out of the spiritual foundation on which you stand. Then you stand on a shaky foundation and fall. Therefore it is so important to seek and find trust in Me again and again. Again and again to enter this space in which I am within you, to stretch out your hands, to open your hearts.
And when you say, ‘Father, here I am, I cannot go on, I do not understand this, I can no longer bear this evil behavior, this suffering and distress now taking place, this lie and falsehood, I can no longer bear it!’—then come to Me and I take you into My arms and into My heart and you will have peace. That is what you can do—and that is what you should do. Do it. Then the valley becomes a mountain and darkness becomes light, for with Me there is no darkness. At My hand you are safe; I guard you as My own life when, as children, you have awakened your heavenly Father within you.
I have stretched My arms wide, great is My longing for love. And you here in this room, My children, if you could see My heart, what longing I have for My children, that I too as God feel this longing that you feel within yourselves. For your longing for Me is My longing for you within your hearts—to a small degree. And this longing is already My presence and is in a certain way a union of us, when you seize this longing.
My children, the words I speak to you are always words of love. Motivation is not lacking either; sometimes I also tell you what you need so that—as people say—you get back on track. And yet My word is always there to raise you up, to set your hearts aflame, and not to press you down. Therefore I speak to you in this love, in this Father-Jesus love. Amen.”
Samuel: Jesus emphasizes once more that it is important to Him that He addresses our divine side at these gatherings. That by doing so He shows us His love and affection, speaking these beautiful words to us and touching precisely this love within us, so that we recognize Him as a loving heavenly Father. He does not address our shadow sides so much, just as we too should not view the world mainly in its evil, but should view the good in the world by taking Jesus Christ into our way of looking at the world.
We should certainly know the shadow sides of the world, as well as those within us, but always direct our gaze toward Jesus, toward the good; thereby the dark is transformed. Even if sometimes one must quite consciously enter into battle with the shadow sides of our soul, it must be with Jesus. We should never enter the abysses of the soul without Jesus, for that is far too dangerous; there we awaken demons, there we open doors to dark powers that are only waiting to bring us down. Therefore, in self-examination and work on oneself, always take Jesus spiritually along. Always look at all thoughts together with Jesus; then we have the necessary protection.
Jesus speaks in conclusion: “My children, once more I go around the circle to bless you. I lay My hands upon you, I touch your hearts once more. We do not separate, for in the Spirit there is no separation. Union is always given; only matter awakens the appearance of separation. I have shaped and willed it so, so that out of this separation a new union in love can take place. So it is with creation as well, this separation through the fall of Lucifer, this falling away from Me together with the host of spirits who followed him, so that out of this separation they may find one another again in free love toward one another.
So it happens, so it is. Thus I have spoken to you today; thus I still stand in this room and remain in this room. For I have taken up residence in this house, and all who come and go here are blessed; I touch their souls and lay seeds in the souls. What the human being then makes of it is left to him. I am always ready to take every human being by the hand and make him happy—according to the measure of bliss that I placed in him from the beginning of time, from the beginning of eternity, and so also in you. I have formed you according to the measure of My heart, which has no limits; My love is immeasurable, and so are you in love for Me. Amen.”
Samuel: Jesus brings together the people who are called. If one is called, however, one is not thereby chosen. For many people are called, the Father has called many, but what the person makes of it is once again left to him. Being called to childhood of God is no guarantee that one reaches one’s goal; it is a matter of our making out of this calling what He has prepared for us. Therefore it says: ‘Many are called, but few are chosen.’ This means that the heavenly Father places His merciful call into many hearts, yet only a few follow this call from and with their whole heart and thereby become true children of God. For only these are chosen to receive the Holy Spirit, to form the body of Christ; only these are invited to the wedding of the Lamb.
The brothers and sisters present their intercessions.
Jesus says about this: “My beloved, I have indeed heard your prayers. Yet know that the path of a human being always takes shape according to his spiritual state, and therefore I must permit many things that do not please Me either and that do not please people. And yet it is necessary so that they do not fall completely into spiritual death.
These words are the image of My lawful order and wisdom that I show you, and yet there is also My mercy. I have indeed heard and weighed your requests; I have placed them into My heart. Love dwells in the heart, and thus it lies within My power to guide the paths so that it is good, to allow healings to occur when it is possible.
Your prayers are never in vain; I always hear the prayers of My children. Just as an earthly father always hears what his children say to him. A loving father takes his children on his lap and listens to their words. And then he does what he can to make them happy. Yet he cannot give them everything they wish, because it would harm them. So it is with intercessory prayer to Me. I cannot fulfill all prayers—and yet I can open doors, offer possibilities, touch hearts. And then it always depends on what the person makes of it. So it is everywhere and at all times; I am always ready… I am always ready.
My heart is closed only to those who no longer have a conscience. Then the door to grace and mercy closes. Yes, that too exists. And so some of the perpetrators of this end time have fallen so deeply into evil that they have become petrified; they have grown hard as stone, their hearts can no longer be touched. And believe Me, My children, the lot of these human souls is one you would not want to see. Therefore do not judge the people of this world, however evil they may be, for I am the Judge, the giver of destiny. Your task is to realize My love within yourselves and send and carry it out into the world. You may form a judgment, but I pronounce the condemnation.
Now back to your intercessions: I have placed them all in My heart. In the communities I call together, this round of intercession is something for which I give the impulse. Not only in this circle; in other congregations too there is much prayer for the world and for people. And there I am always the giver of the impulse, for I place in your hearts the will and desire to intercede.
I am the love within you, and when I stir and move in your hearts, and thereby mercy makes itself known in you and you then want to intercede, it is already I within you who moves and prompts you to do so. And thus My will is already contained in your intercessions—understand it rightly. In a certain way I prompt you to it, and therefore you can believe that I fulfill them according to the possibilities… and yet a little beyond them as well.
My children, if you could see the love of My heart; if you could feel My love for you, you would not be able to bear it. And yet I speak it out in the word, to show Myself, to lead you, guide you, move you, so that at last you awaken, for many of you are still drowsy with sleep.
Yes, I have touched you, I have shown and continue to show Myself to you, and yet you are still rubbing your eyes. Some turn over and go back to sleep. Very few now get up, climb out of their beds and sleeping chambers and go out, together with Me, into the world to carry out the commission, the task I give them.
Therefore I call: Wake up, rise up! To rise up means: become doers of My love. Then everything will be good. Amen.”
Samuel: Dear brothers and sisters, our heavenly Father has never before spoken to us so extensively, insistently, and intimately lovingly. This shows us the urgency of this time; it shows us how much we matter to His heart. We are His embodied thoughts of the heart, set out into free will. God separated Himself from Himself with us and through us, for in the truest sense and at the foundation of our being His thoughts are He Himself. God does not separate Himself from His thoughts when He thinks; He cannot do that. Only they themselves can do it, only we ourselves can do it—and we have done it. We have deprived God of the love that He Himself is. Now we bring it back to Him; we reunite the omnipresent God with the God within us, we restore His completeness by uniting Him again with Himself through our homecoming.
If we go still deeper, we recognize that at the primordial foundation there has never been a separation. Birth into the Spirit of God is actually becoming conscious of the inseparable unity with and in God. Only isolated thinking created a separation, but it has no divine existence and therefore no substance and no power; falsehood alone forms its apparent power—and that is Satan.
Let us be conscious that we are a being out of and within God’s consciousness, that at the foundation of our being we are one with God’s love and thereby with God and thereby true children of God. To realize this is our task. Jesus tells us how: Love Me above all and your neighbors as yourselves.
* * *
Samuel: It truly is so that Jesus is coming ever nearer to us. One only needs to lift one’s thoughts to Him, open one’s heart, and then one immediately feels His presence and is filled with love. Then there is no longer any doubt; one knows: it is Jesus, He is here, He is with me, to fill me with His love. In Him I am sheltered in life and death. And then one is no longer afraid of death; everything is good because everything is in His hand.
He says that He has arranged an additional room for Himself in our souls, into which He has moved. He does not mean the space of the spirit spark in the heart, but rather an additional room of grace for those of His children who in humility and truthfulness have surrendered and continue to surrender themselves to Him and in deed dedicate and give their lives to Him. This gift gives us an intense feeling of His presence.
The image of the room is one way of viewing it; another is that the heavenly Father has enlarged the opening of our soul toward His heart and thereby the divine radiation now works more strongly within us. But let us stay with this room: we are not permitted to enter it, yet the goal is that this dwelling place of His within us opens into the spaces of our soul. That this separation then no longer exists and it becomes one room in which we dwell and live together with Jesus. And this then is the rapture, the entering into His Spirit, for then the spirit spark in the heart is also released.
Some of His children are thereby already in the process of rapture; these are precisely those who feel Jesus’ presence ever more intensely, for whom His love becomes ever more experientially real and who thereby are allowed to love Him ever more. The greater the opening of the heart, the more access Jesus Christ has to our life. Only when in His grace we open our heart to Him and keep it open can He enter our sphere in action and lead us according to His plan.
Most often one sees only in retrospect what Jesus has done for one, that precisely the valleys through which one passed were absolutely necessary to lead the soul into humility so that He can enter our life. For humility is the basic prerequisite…
Jesus continues: “…that I can enter your life, that I can take you by the hand, that I can open My heart to you. Thus it is humility, and everything in your life is directed toward your becoming humble in the sense that you enter into this trust in God, into this love for Me. And that you are conscious that I am everything and that everything is My property and that I am the One who permits what leads you into humility.
My children often do not understand what is happening to them and why something happens, and then they become uncertain; from uncertainty doubts arise, and from them not seldom despair. This dividing wall of doubt and despair causes Me to have no more access to your life, and then My child finds itself in a vicious circle.
I have come to break these vicious circles, to dissolve the darkness in you, the darkness of doubt, complaint, and accusation. For these are the seeds of My enemy that he places in you. And when they sprout and grow… the tree that grows from them bears fruits full of poison and death.
Therefore it is so important, My little children, that you enter into this trust in Me, that I have all power, that you have a heavenly Father who is there for every single one of you. I emphasize: for every single one of you, for I stand and walk at the side of each of My children and am always ready to give Myself away, to take every burden from you. Yet that works only if you trust Me, if you let go of the past, this cross you carry with you—and the present cross too you should give to Me, for only then do you feel this freedom in Me, then the darkness dissolves within and around you. And then I have the power through you to touch the people dear to you, those near to you and those far from you, the good as well as the bad. Then you are a channel of My love-power and might. Yes, divine power then becomes active in you solely because you love Me. It is so simple, My children; I say it again and again: the spiritual path is not complicated, everything is so simple, it is only about love, love for Me.
And if you find that difficult, then simply imagine that I stand before you with outstretched arms and wait for you to come toward Me… and then we embrace one another. Imagine that, and in your hearts you will feel this love when two hearts meet—Father and child forming a unity. That will strengthen you, that will change you if you do it again and again. Then the walls collapse, then the darkness gives way.”
To the brother who said in the introductory round that he once had an intimate contact with Jesus but has not found it again for twenty years:
“My son, to you I say: I give you a picture. See a duck or hen walking with its chicks, and then an obstacle appears and one of the chicks cannot overcome it. What does the hen or duck do then? She walks back and waits until the chick overcomes the obstacle… and helps it. Even if it takes time, the chick stumbles and tries again and again but cannot get over the obstacle. And finally the mother helps, and it succeeds.
See, that is how I do it too. You are a chick of My love and I have waited a long time for you. Yes, an obstacle has built itself up before you and you cannot overcome it; therefore I now come to you to help you. Therefore give Me your hand, your heart, so that I may give you My hand and our hands may meet and our hearts as well. So that you can overcome this obstacle, for your time is still to come. Everything up to now was preparation and preparation-for-reception.
Not only for you; for all of you, My children, life is only beginning. For not only worldly people do not know life… for they seek life in death and die in doing so. My children too do not yet know life… yes, I say this to you, for life is something wonderful, life is vitality in Me. Yet you still stand in faith toward life; you believe in life, but you do not yet live, My children. For whoever lives is filled with My Spirit. Therefore I come to you and fill and fulfill your faith with life. This is My gift to you:
I fill your faith with life.
Then the shell of faith will break, and life will fill you from out of your faith… divine vitality. Therefore it is so important that you believe My words, for I build no castles in the air; I speak no empty words. Every one of My words is vitality and truth. Yes, I want to give you life, for you were created for life—eternal life, divine life at My side. And this earthly existence is the prior preparation and preparation-for-reception for it. Therefore recognize the importance of the process in which you now find yourselves. Each child in its own completely individual way. The preparation is individual, just as every food is prepared in a different way, just as every instrument is played in a different way, so your souls are in a special individual process—but the goal is the same.
And those of you who are still at the beginning of this process, those of you who stand before seemingly insurmountable hurdles, who do not yet experience My presence, to you I say: precisely what now keeps you from feeling My love is exactly what will finally enable you to feel My love. For in all apparent imperfection perfection is always contained. The ground of every imperfection is perfection; the ground of every darkness is light. Therefore remain in patience, for I tell you: I will resolve everything at the right time.”

Jesus speaks: “Amen, My children, I have come to give you words of eternal life, fruits from the tree of life. My words are fruits I offer you, delicious fruits to still and fulfill the longing of your hearts. The longing that drives you toward Me, yet you also have within you the longing that drives you toward the world. It always depends on what direction one gives one’s longing, and the world can occupy a large place and longing then directs itself toward matter, toward comfortable living, toward the bodily realm.
And as I already said, whoever seeks life in death finds death. Yet you have followed your longing, directed it toward Me, oriented it toward Me. The ray of your heart goes toward Me; the connection between us is the true path of longing and I alone am the true fulfillment of your longing. With Me alone can you find what you so greatly long for and what the world can never give you.
In Me you find your value, the value of childship of God. The world also gives you a certain value, and that is something I can approve. If one does one’s profession well, one receives something back. If one deals lovingly with people, one receives something back. That too is a value of life, and it is good. And yet there is another value, and that is the one I give you. For that you need do nothing at all; you only need to open yourselves to Me. This esteem is that you are children of God. And from this value arise contentment, bliss, peace, and joy in being permitted to be this.
And I also speak of righteousness. Many of My children want to do justice to Me. They want to give Me something: the value they possess. They want to stand righteous and justified before Me, and therefore they do good—and not for the sake of the good. Do you understand that? One cannot do justice to God; one cannot give God anything, for everything comes from Him.
And yet it also says: if three righteous people live in a place, I will not judge the place. If two righteous people live in a city, I will spare the city. As long as a land has seven righteous, I will not visit it with My wrath. And if a people has ten righteous, I will spare it. What do I mean by this righteousness? My children, this righteousness bears witness to faithfulness to Me. To be faithful to Me means to follow My love; to walk the path My love has prepared for you… at My hand. That is righteousness before Me in the sense that I exercise forbearance, that I spare a land, a people, a place, a house in which faithful ones dwell, a family faithfully devoted to Me.
Faithfulness—you can give Me that. Faithfulness in rightly and justly using what I give you of divine good, of divine love. And here humility comes into play again: humbly to receive from My hand in order to pass it on to your neighbors. And trustingly to walk the paths on which I lead you.
That means you do not have to search for people to whom you can speak of Me; I will lead them to you. Yet I do that only when My child has reached the necessary maturity, when My child stands on the foundation that enables it to work as a laborer in My vineyard. Only I can measure this maturity. And when impatience comes into play, when a child says, ‘Dear Father, I would already like to work for You! Why is there no person to whom I can speak of You?’
My child, then I will it so. Then your time has not yet come. And when your time has come, I will lead the people to you and you will be very happy then to be allowed to speak of Me. Yes, then I will be your words and through you I will touch people… through your word, your gaze, through the radiance of your heart. Yet the right time lies in My hands, in My heart. Therefore be patient and full of trust.
I will lead everything toward the good, yet time is Mine; I determine the time when something can and should happen. Only I recognize the maturity, the progress that leads to the goal. Therefore trust, whatever may happen. You have given your life to Me, and therefore I have the possibility to guide your life in such a way that you reach the goal.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “The battle that takes place in the spiritual realm manifests in matter. Spirit always goes first. The battle between good and evil, the powers that fight one another, the loud force of evil—the quiet force of love. They meet; light and darkness rage in the spiritual world. Especially in the lower regions of the beyond there is great turmoil; souls are incited to rise against the good… more and more. My angels hold against it, and often it is back and forth—also within you, for everything that takes place in the world also takes place within you.
Yes, your battle too is a mighty one, and you cannot win it without Me. The people who now fight without Me have a difficult position. They have no support, and when evil rears up they will fall, desperate, full of terror. But you, My children, you have this support in Me. What can happen to you at My side? Can death frighten you? No, with Me there is no death. Whatever happens in your life, I am at your side.
You should always live with regard to what I have prepared for you and in the knowledge that everything serves you for good, even if you do not like it. And I say it again and again: turn your eyes away from the outward things that happen in this world, for then you open yourselves to these powers. You open the door and these energies then enter your soul and press you down. Fear then spreads, and this fear builds a wall between you and Me. This should not be. Therefore look at Me, for every thought that distracts you from Me, whether it is a worry, whether you complain to Me, whether you accuse Me because you do not understand something—all this comes from the enemy of life, who wants to prevent you from uniting with Me in love.
Yes, it is a constant battle to the goal, and yet see: when My Spirit strengthens and fills you, what battle is there then? As long as I am in you, everything is good. Darkness and death must give way. No evil power can come near you when you are united with Me in love; no earthly event can frighten you when you are united with Me. See the necessity and importance of this presence of Mine with and within you; it saves your life.
You are My little children; I take you in My arms. I rejoice so much when you look up to Me and say, ‘Dear Father, here I am; take my life into Your hand, I belong to You, to You alone I want to belong, You are my all in all!’
My children, you do not suspect what then happens with My heart, what joy you give Me in this surrender. This is My great joy; yes, for this I called this creation into life, so that I may have children who love Me of their own free will and to whom I can give everything that I Myself have and am. This is the reason for this creation, this is the reason for your existence. Therefore look only to Me, take Me into everything you think, plan, and do. Then we go together, already now from this time into eternity, united forever. And we will accomplish great things; ever new creations we will call into life together, full of joy.
And when one day you look back upon this earthly life, then you will say, ‘Dear Father, I am sorry that I did not do more; I was so negligent, I failed to do this and that.’ Then I will say: My child, yes, that is true, but you see, you have nevertheless reached your goal, for you let Me into your life and I gained ever more access and thereby could fill you ever more with My Spirit, My presence, My love.
My children, I have also come to receive and accept your petitions. I have placed within you the impulses for the people for whom you should pray. Now you may ask, ‘Yes, dear Father, if You already know for whom we should pray, why should we carry it to You once again?!’
Then I say: I want us to work together and do good. That is My joy, and I give it to you—this longing to help I have placed within you. And what does it mean when I place the impulses for intercessions into your hearts? The need to help and do good? It means that fulfillment is already contained in this petition. I have placed it within the prayer that you offer to Me. And that is something wonderful, that you know that I hear your requests. Even if time determines when the fulfillment takes place, there is nevertheless certainty that it is so.
And I leave it free to My child whether it speaks the request aloud or presents it to Me in stillness; it is all the same to Me, for the word is only the shell. The shell falls away; what matters is the meaning, the soul of the word. And in the soul lies the spirit, and that is I and that is the fulfillment. Thus every word consists of body, soul, and spirit, just as you too consist of body, soul, and spirit.”
Intercessions
“My children, your thoughts, your words I have placed into My heart, into My mercy. Yet I say this about it: necessity often requires a painful correction, a painful path of redemption, and yet I am also able to provide relief, to make possible for a certain time freedom from a burden so that the soul can breathe again. Into this free space of time I then let My light shine into the soul, I scatter seeds of love, and then it is up to the respective person to what extent he is ready to accept and seize this. To recognize this piece of freedom as a gift of love, to hold fast to it, so that along the ray of light he then goes out from his darkness and distress, perhaps an illness… despair… possession.
And there I reach deeply into the structure of the soul’s processes, so that My will stands above the will of the creature. For if it has slipped into the demonic, I must use harder tools, I must exercise divine power. Yet it always serves the good. Yes, even hell is a place of My mercy. Yes, the foundation of hell is love, for there the souls are purified. And this too is a pain of My heart, to place My thoughts into a state of pain. And yet it is necessary, to create a way out, to bring about humiliation so that My work of redemption becomes effective.
A child who views Me rightly sees that everything is actually always love. Only in the gradations ‘downward,’ into the lower regions of life, does love become ever more invisible and can no longer be regarded there as such, but rather as justice, as the law of cause and effect, as blind fate… and yet it is always love. Even the worst pain, the worst death, has a core, and that is love.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “Into the stillness I place My word; into this room I place My word; into your hearts I place My word that I speak to you today, that I speak to you forever. The Word—that is I Myself. There is no difference between Me and the Word. And thus I have led you into My heart, have come with a heart full of love and am ready to serve you as God, for I am full of longing to receive your love and do everything so that our hearts may meet, now in this room where you do not see Me but do hear Me.
Faith that does not see, My children, is true faith, for seeing Me would be a compulsion. Yet if you believe My word, then you are free in faith and love. And that is what fills you with the freedom of the Spirit of love toward Me. Therefore rejoice that you do not see Me, for then you can climb the highest mountain of faith. The crown of faith is trust in Me without seeing Me. To give trust to My word, even unto death. Therefore do not long to behold Me. You will behold Me soon enough, but now is the time of faith and surrender.
My children, give one another your hands as a sign that I have wrapped a bond of love around you, that you are united in love for Me, that you form a unity in My Spirit. And you feel this unity that forms the foundation in this room. It is the foundation of your hearts, and this foundation is I.
And so I unite you, and this is already a foretaste of the union that My children are permitted to experience in heaven, this unity permeated by My Spirit, a concord without equal, a joy without equal, a unity of love directed toward Me, which I radiate back again into the hearts of My children. And fundamentally it is one light and one love—and that is heaven.
I give you this small foretaste of this state of love of the soul by calling you together here in the darkness of this world, to kindle a light here that shines out into the world. You cannot see it, and yet it is so that now the darkness gives way… and gives way… and gives way back into its caves, into its wickedness, to consume itself there for this moment of eternity that I now open here in this room.
The unity of heaven is present in the sense that heaven has opened. And this son of Mine who speaks to you, through whom I speak to you—his soul I have formed in such a way that through him I can open heaven for you, and thus a heavenly radiation takes place and an insight of the inhabitants of heaven comes in here, and you have the view into heaven that you already carry within you by loving Me.
My children, I have shaped creation so that free will represents the highest commandment. Especially on this Earth, where I raise true children for Myself for all eternity, it is necessary that the powers of good and evil be present so that people can always decide between what is good and what is not good. Now this world, through humanity’s wrong conduct and false desire, has developed in such a way that the evil side has gained preponderance beyond the measure set. The pull toward darkness has gotten the upper hand, and this power of evil now gnaws strongly even at My children—more than ever before.
You are torn back and forth between what you have recognized as good and true and the lower regions of your soul, which repeatedly draw you down into the realms of bondage to the world, self-will, obstinacy, and also doubt. Thus you have a fierce battle to endure in this time, and therefore My grace and mercy have taken on a measure that has never before existed on this Earth. Often you wonder that I go with you into your sins, that I am always ready when you leave Me, that I tirelessly fight and struggle for you so that you may not be lost, but may find the path into My heart… permanently, and not only here and there.
And you see how humanity is running toward an abyss, yet there are only a few—to whom you belong—whom I have introduced into the one truth that I am. On the one hand this is a privilege; on the other it is a great responsibility, and this requires special consistency in your progress in the spiritual realm. This is the point, My children, where most of you fall short. For you are still too lukewarm; you still have not recognized the necessity of following Me with all the strength of your soul. And this creates a division in you that repeatedly pulls you down and into the world. And then it is often a circle you walk, and not a moving forward.
And yet I also say: when you move in a circle, then I work on you in the depths of your soul where you do not look, and where there is steady progress that becomes visible only when you walk the straight path again at My hand. Then what I bring about secretly within you during your lukewarmness and inconstancy unfolds in you. Thus you do not move forward and yet through My grace and mercy you do move forward, in the sense that I set the switches beforehand so that you may find and walk the right path.
And the switches are always set so that one track leads into the world and one track leads to Me. The train on the track that leads into the world is loud and colorful and seductive and flatters you. And on the train on the track that leads to Me, stillness, quiet, and peace prevail. You always have the possibility of boarding this train or that one. Therefore it is so important that you go attentively through the day, that you seek stillness and not the noise of this world.
Yes, music brings cheerfulness and relaxation to the soul, and yet it is necessary to enter into stillness in order to hear My voice, to be able to receive the impulses I give and which are so necessary for you.
Yet many of you, because you lack the necessary consistency in spiritual life, have entered a burdensome state where you feel: ‘Something is not right in me, I feel ill, there is a burden on my shoulder, I am sad and do not know why.’ This is because you have not taken or are not taking this step that is now necessary in this phase of the process of spiritualization of My children and the phase of the process of the world’s complete demonization. Therefore it is necessary that you now hold very firmly to Me, My little children. Only when you open the door for Me can I intervene in your life. I have often said it: the difference between worldly people and the children of God is that the worldly person is blindly delivered to his fate and does not know why things happen, whereas the children of God who have opened the doors of their hearts to Me give Me the possibility of entering their sphere to walk the path there together with them; then I can place light and love into their hearts, into your hearts.
You have decided for Me; you are ready. Yes, you carry great longing in your hearts to clasp Me in your arms, to be together with Me. My children, can you still imagine a life without Me? I say: no. And if I were to ask a worldly person: can you imagine a life with Me? He will say: no! That is the great difference.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “My children, I speak words of seriousness to prepare you for what may come. And I speak words of love as Father to My children, to show you what it means to Me to walk this path together with you. Just as an earthly father, an earthly mother, go through the world with a joyful heart when the child is with them, when the children are with them, when fellowship exists in the family—on a common foundation, as is the case with us here. And so it is My joy that we walk this path together, that I may be with you; for although I called you, you also came, which is not a matter of course, for not many follow My call.
My children, I name the word that is an instrument for you so that you may become free from certain bonds—and the word is repentance. You know that as Father I have taken your sins into My heart and forgive you everything because you have set out to walk the path to and with Me. But that does not mean that you should not repent of your sins, for repentance is a very mighty instrument that sets the soul on fire and thereby creates a free space, and this free space is called humility.
Humility in turn is the foundation and the space of love. Therefore do not shrink back, My children, from entering the fire of repentance, in the recognition that you have gone astray so often and repeatedly and that through the pain of repentance you can become free for My love. In hell repentance is a mighty instrument, the instrument par excellence, for only one who feels repentance can find the way out of the hellish regions and become free from this darkness. And purgatory too, as people call it, is the fire of repentance.
Yet to have repentance does not mean that you then go through the day with a guilty conscience; rather, repentance means that you recognize your going astray, that you are sorry, and that you then come to Me with it and lay your sin before Me, lay this pain of sin before Me, lay this pain of repentance before Me, which repeatedly arises and burns within you because you still live in sin. And then I take you by the hand, then I touch your hearts, make you free from this burden, and through this you recognize My love—and that makes you humble before Me. Insight into My mercy gives you humility, and through it love blossoms in you—that is the path you can walk.
To feel repentance also requires a certain truthfulness, it also requires having the courage to admit to oneself that one lives in sin. Not putting on a beautiful garment, a garment of holiness, and saying, ‘I walk with Jesus,’ while in the soul things look quite different because one lives in sin and hides it from the world and supposedly from Me.
Therefore it is necessary to lay yourselves open truthfully before Me so that I can enter into your weakness. For as I said: I am mighty in the weak! My divine power unfolds in your weakness before Me, in your neediness, in the fact that by your own strength you cannot accomplish becoming free from sin.
My children, I have spoken of repentance; now I speak of love. I prefer to speak of love rather than repentance. Love is something wonderful; actually there is only love, yet this can be recognized only when one is wholly permeated by love, when one has become wholly love. Then one sees only love everywhere. Then one sees the working of love in evil, then one sees light in darkness, then everything is good.
When I filled My apostles with the Holy Spirit, they entered a state in which they were permitted to regard everything with the eyes of love. They were so overwhelmed that they found no words to describe this state of the truth of love. And it came upon them suddenly; they sat together—as you do in this room—and spoke about Me, they deliberated what they should now do and how they should shape their future together. They had open hearts and were full of longing for Me, and there was also a little sadness in them—and then it happened. They were prepared, their souls were ready; I filled them with My Spirit.
Now it was so that in that moment they found no words, and yet this state became for them a consciousness of living in the divine while also being able to act reasonably in a human way. The divine and the human united in this Spirit into an ability to act that could be carried out in My sense and My will.
My children, believe it: I have also placed you into this preparation. I too want to fill you with this My Spirit. You should not believe that the apostles then were special human beings. Yes, they were chosen for that time, but you are chosen for this time. I have taken you from the heavens, taken you from the light and set and led you into darkness, as I did with My own then—so that finally I might fill them again with My light, with My love. Time alone makes the difference.
And just as then, so now it is also necessary that I send My apostles into the world to those who long for the divine, to those who are lost and desperate. That is what you are to be, and for this you need this Spirit. And the prerequisite for this in turn is the surrender of your lives to Me, this one-hundred-percent trust that I, your Jesus, lead and guide you, that I never leave you and do everything so that you reach your life’s goal. Amen.”
Samuel: Jesus goes around the circle and lays His hand on each of our heads and pronounces His blessing and speaks the words He places into each of our hearts: ‘I am with you.’ We can make from this a ‘You are with me.’ He is full of joy—a joyful, merciful, caring gaze with regard to our getting through this time together with Him.
He speaks: “My children, I love you, I love you so much, for you are a part of My love. I took you from My heart. I sent a part of My heart into the darkness, and now this love is missing from Me—and you bring it back to Me by returning into My heart so that it may become whole again. Thus I unite you and you remain united even when you go apart again. This bond that I have tied between you and between us… you can stretch it far, but it will never tear. Along this bond of love and light you can always climb back and find your way back into My heart.
And you know that I repeatedly approach you, reduce the distance between us wherever possible, yet always in respect for your free will. This means that when you turn away from Me, I remain directed toward you with My eyes, with My heart. And when you turn back to Me, our eyes and hearts meet again.
You experience this now too in your struggle of life: at one time you feel My nearness, at another you feel coldness and no love, and yet this up and down awakens your longing ever more to be with Me. The desire for this state of love together with Me will become ever more intense. The desire for resurrection in Me, which you will then be permitted to experience, will fill you completely and will be the gate for My Spirit, for the merging with Me, your Jesus.
I have now opened the great gate to the beyond, also for the lower regions of the beyond, so that My word may penetrate into the twilight, into the darkness, so that these souls too may learn that there is a God of love. And the words I now speak shall and will penetrate into this world of doubt, self-will, and evil.
I tell you again (to the deceased present): there is only one God, and there is only one Redeemer—and that is I, Jesus Christ. Crucified by the world, risen from death, to prepare the way for all the fallen, for all the lost. And this path remains in eternity; it leads into freedom from the captivity of death. The words I speak to you penetrate even those who have turned away again and mock Me and also mock My children here in this room. They still have a long path before them. I tell you: yes, you still have a long path before you, a painful path that you have prepared for yourselves through your unbelief and through your wickedness.
And to those who hear My words full of gratitude and accept them, I say: now set out on the path; you see it, it lies before you. Many obstacles will open before you, and only with love can you overcome them. Therefore go courageously forward so that you too may one day reach your homeland.
And to you, My children, who are physically present here, I say that your relatives, forebears, and ancestors too may be present to witness this event. They are full of joy and gratitude. They see the trust you have in Me, they feel your longing, and this touches their hearts. They sense that this here is truth and that what happens here offers them the possibility of becoming free, finally being able to set out on the path into the freedom of the Spirit. Yes, you in the beyond too I envelop in My love.
My children, there are countless ones now gathered here, all of whom I include in My great heart, My infinite heart. The love that streams from My heart is immeasurable and is ready for all beings of this creation. Yet it meets each according to his state. My love also includes judgment. And thus the foundation of every judgment and every effect of a sinful deed is love, in order to lead the sin back into the light.
Fundamentally it is satanic soul-substance that forms this creation, which I lead back into the light so that ultimately the enemy of life stands there without the possibility of bringing anything about; isolated from everything, alone and lonely in the darkness. And so one day he too will set out on this path. Yet the dimensions of the eternities until then are immeasurable. And even if he himself may not believe it, it will nevertheless be so that one day everything fallen returns to Me and nothing remains behind in the darkness of infinity.
You who have entered time cannot measure what it means: an eternity. For those who already dwell in My heavens, in My house, space and time are all one, for in the Spirit there is no distance either in time or in space. To comprehend this, one must oneself enter the dimension of timelessness. It cannot be done with the intellect, My children, and you do not need it either.
For you only what is now counts, in this end time, in the present, and that I will realize My plan: to establish the Kingdom of Peace on this Earth, and that you are part of this plan. That is important for you. And even though I said: war will come, distress will come, despair and death, this must not draw you into darkness. Always look to the fact that My plan stands behind these events and that I will lead everything toward the good. This gives you comfort and gives you joy in life—they are basic prerequisites for being able to love.
Many people will lose their joy in life and have already lost it. They will no longer want to live and will take their own lives, and it is already so that many do it because they have no perspective, no future, no meaning in life, no faith… there I as God can do nothing, that is free will. Yet I go even into that, into the world of suicides, and create possibilities so that these souls too may be saved. And also through you, when you pray from the heart for people who can no longer see any meaning in life, then it is I who gives the impulse for it, and then you live My love in prayer and send it out into the world. Therefore I say again and again: do not underestimate your prayers, for I am the power of prayer within you.
Now I have already given you much today, My children, many words that you can read again. And then you can enter into the depth of these words, once more recognize what it means that I speak to you. That you recognize the truth of the words that pass quickly in time, and yet you can hold them fast in writing in order to deepen them. They are nourishment for your hearts.
Now I close the gate to the beyond again so that you are shielded from the influences of the world of twilight and darkness. Thus you should always ask Me already in the morning to protect you, to keep away from you what is not good for you. And as you go through the day, send Me a thought as often as possible, take Me into your world of thoughts, into what you do and refrain from doing, into your life. And in the evening thank Me: ‘Dear Father, I thank You that You are with me, that You lead and guide me, that You love me. O give me even more love for You so that we may become one in this love.’
Thus pray to Me, My children, thus speak with Me, your Father Jesus. Amen.”
Samuel: Jesus says that the sins we still carry within us may be something serious that one knows about but cannot get free from, or it may be something very subtle that one does not recognize. He will show us exactly what it is. He says that now we must break with these things, leave certain patterns of behavior that bind us to the world. Otherwise we can get into great difficulties; otherwise the discrepancy between what He gives us and how we live becomes too great, and then it may be that we do not reach our life’s goal. We must take our path very seriously now, for we are in a time that will demand everything from us.
He says that although we have listened here now, we still have not quite recognized what it is really about. And He says again very insistently: “Do not look so much at the world anymore; yes, live in the world, bear responsibility for the things that are necessary in the world, profession, family, but break with what within you claims the space I need in order to lead you. Otherwise illnesses can arise, problems of the soul that you can no longer manage.”
This time brings special challenges, and there we must approach the matter very seriously and make greater efforts. But we should see it as good news that He points this out to us, that we know what it is about and what is to be done. He does not leave us orphaned, He does not leave us standing in the rain; we will know exactly what we have to do.
He also says that His strength is mighty in the weak. Thus we may and should come before Him in our neediness: “Dear Father, I am weak and cannot do it by my own strength; be You with Your divine strength and power within me, drive the darkness out of me.” In this way we can move forward step by step. In this way we enter the state in which we do not doubt and despair, but penetrate ever more deeply into the heart of Jesus Christ.

Further Messages from Our Heavenly Father in Quiet Hours
“So write, My child, for I reveal My heart to you and proclaim My love to you and your brothers and sisters. See, I stand at every gate of the heart and knock. So I have done from the beginning; so I do today. For I long for your love, I long for togetherness with My children.
This longing of Mine is founded in the fact that a part of Me dwells within you, a part of the Spirit of My heart. Thus I am already within you, in the innermost part of your heart, in the holiest place of the temple of your soul as the sanctuary of your life. For only I am holy within you, and you are holy through Me and in Me when you open the doors of your hearts to Me.
Thus you should ask Me to open and show you My divine Father-love and that you seize it with the power of your free will. This is the opening of the temple door, so that afterward I can enter the land of your soul and sanctify you in My love for you and thereby in your love for Me.
Yet, My children, when you pray that I may reveal My heart to you, be aware that I can do this only if you stand on the ground of humility. For if I revealed My innermost love to you while you still carry the burden of pride and self-love, you would use and exploit My love for your advantage. You would continue to sin in the awareness that My gentle and faithful heart can only love, and you would no longer make sufficient effort in overcoming and in unconditional surrender; you would drag My love into the dirt.
Only when you regard My love in humility can and will it touch you so deeply that your souls are transformed from the ground up and that in the storm of love you take possession of My heart because you cannot do otherwise in recognizing My true divine being.
See, therefore I must first lead you into humility through illness and distress, through humiliations that do not please you, but that are necessary as preparation for imperishable love for Me. Regard your life situation with these eyes, and then you will be able to accept it in the consciousness that it is necessary; otherwise I cannot fill you with My Spirit and you cannot enter My kingdom; otherwise I cannot lead you into the task I have provided for you in this last time and beyond.
My children, time presses. Know that soon a great storm will arise that sweeps away everything not anchored in Me. Therefore accept what I allow to come to you; it serves your rescue and redemption, it is always My love that touches you—even through earthly events, for everything passes through My heart before it reaches My child. In My heart I soften or intensify your destiny, which is also My destiny, for My Father-heart beats in you, My Father-heart bleeds in you, My Father-heart loves and lives in you.
Yes, a divine heart beats within you and My blood flows within you, for you are taken from Me; you are My true children, children of the eternal and almighty God—consider rightly for once what that means! But also consider rightly that you move in free will and can reject your childship and thus My fatherhood. Then you remain in a foreign land, to continue feeding yourselves from the swine troughs of the world. Yet if you return home to the Father’s house, I have prepared a feast for you, and exceedingly great joy will then be in you already now and beyond time in My heavens much more.
Amen, Jesus Christ, Amen.”
