Jesus speaks: “My peace be with you. My heart is wide open; from it light and love stream to every
one of you. Thus I have tied a bond between your hearts; thus you are connected by My love. And
this community which I have brought together here – for no one is here without My will, without
My call – forms a small island of light in the darkness of this world, for very dark has it become in
this time. And there I need islands of light and love; I need luminous hearts which, standing in the
struggle of the worlds, reveal My love to the people who wander about without meaning and
purpose and goal, who do not know their past and their future because they do not know
themselves and do not know who they are, do not know that they too are God’s children.
“But you I have called, and you have recognized yourselves as My children. I have shown you My
love and My guidance; you see it in looking back, and you will see it in the future that is now
coming upon this Earth, this last time in which much distress and death will come. And there you
are to be the light; there you are to be the pillars of My love, steadfast in faith, standing secure
upon the foundation of love in Me and from Me and through Me.
“This I have prepared for you; to this I have drawn you; to this I have guided you through deep
valleys, led you over high mountains, and now you are here. And as the brother already said, that
I once spoke to you: We shall see one another again, and I will prepare a room in which we shall
meet. And now it is this room here in the larger sense, and it is the small room called the heart, in
which I dwell within you, in which we meet and I speak to you.
“And is it not wonderful to move within this room of love? Is it not wonderful to feel this power of
love? for I am this power of love, I am this strength. In Me and from Me the good takes place if
you permit it, if you declare yourselves ready to walk this path with Me, with firm step, full of
courage and trust and surrender, that I am with you, that I guide and lead you always.
“This faith in My being-with-you is the basic prerequisite for this world no longer being able to
harm you. For everything that happens to you first passes through My heart, and everything that
concerns you and strikes you arises from a certain necessity, in order to perfect you in the grace
of love, to perfect you in Me. Therefore everything is good, My children. The valley through which
you walk is good, in order to test and strengthen your faith. The mountain you cross is good, with
its view over the spiritual landscape I have spread out before you.
“And so with these first words I enclose you in My heart and say: My children, I love you. I have
called you by your names; I designate you with the words: `You are Mine.´ Yet always mindful of
the free will that every person has – and so do you. And yet, if you look into your hearts, if you
feel the community with Me, can you still imagine a life without Me? In the lostness of the world,
without this position together with Me? No, you cannot, My children; I see it in your hearts.
“Is love not something wonderful? My children, contemplate the beauty of love, contemplate the
life of love into which I have led you, in which you are permitted to live and act in this
community and togetherness with Me.
“To live in God’s presence is really the goal of every person; yet how many wander about upon
this Earth without a God, or blinded and lost in distorted religions, in self-satisfied spirituality, in
displayed love of neighbor, which is usually a false love, a misguided love, a deluded love.
“Yes, many seekers would gladly stand on the ground of truth, but they do not find it. Why do
they not find it? Their thoughts have bound and imprisoned them in a false and entrenched faith
that does not allow them to reconsider their own and take a better path. Often the ground upon
which they stand is, sad as it is, self-love and spiritual pride, or shaped by fear of a punishing
God. But only upon the ground of humility can one truly find Me and recognize Me as an always
loving God. And only upon this ground do I guide My children on the path of truth and life to the
goal. There is no other. Amen.”

“My children, I have placed each of you in very particular life situations. These differ and are of
varying difficulty and ease. Some of you ask: `Why do I have this heavy cross to carry? I toil to
walk this spiritual path; it is only labor and burden … while others hardly have to struggle.´
“To this I say: many factors play a role. On the one hand there is the pre-birth origin; on the other,
there are portions or inherited substance of the ancestors that a soul has received and integrated.
Its entirely particular soul-structure and how much satanic soul-substance it has taken on and is
to bring to redemption also determine the course of its earthly existence. And the spiritual tasks
and spiritual goal that a person has set for himself and wishes to fulfill also contribute greatly to
the course and content of his life.
“When a person has trustingly surrendered himself to Me, I guide him so that he becomes free of
pre-birth burdens, so that he can find the present reality of his divine identity. Different
instruments are needed for this. With one child of God they are fine tools, subtle circumstances;
with another, strong tools are needed to make the child free of a pressing burden that it often
does not itself know because it does not know what still lies within it. In all this it is not only
about one’s own redemption, although that has priority, but also about the redemption of those
who accompany one.
“My children, you do not walk over this Earth only for yourselves. Because I have called and
appointed you, you carry within yourselves a work of redemption for your forebears and
ancestors and for many who accompany you for very special reasons – on this side and beyond.
Therefore it is so important, in every phase of life, whether you carry a heavy cross whose
burden nearly crushes you and sometimes drives you into doubt, or carry a light one in love for
Me, that you remain in trust, for I have everything in view; I have power over everything and
permit only what is necessary. Yet the effect and result always depend upon the extent to which
you entrust your lives to Me, for I can intervene in your sphere only to the extent that you open
the door to Me, and I have only the room in your soul that you give Me. The more room you give
Me, the more surrender to Me in which you live your lives, the more effective is My present
reality around and within you.
“Now it is so that I also act in the invisible, that in the corridors of your soul which you do not
enter I make preparations for the time when you open yourselves entirely to Me, so that
everything is prepared for the reception of My Spirit. Thus on the one hand preparation takes
place in this world through outward circumstances, and preparation takes place in the world
beyond, invisible to you and not consciously perceptible, while I also work with My angels in the
hidden depths of the soul in order to create the necessary foundation for the moment when I fill
and permeate you with My Spirit.
“That is the goal, My children, but time presses toward it. It is not as though we have much time.
All of you lack the necessary consistency. It is necessary to let go of the old person and put on the
new. What does that mean and how does it work? Imagine how I would act in the situations of
your everyday life, how selfless love would act. In most cases that is exactly the opposite of what
you would do in your human nature.
“The more often you practice this exercise of selfless love, where in thought and deed you remain
only in this selfless love – with all the consequences of self-denial and forgiveness, of
unconditional surrender to divine love, in which you accuse no one but bless everyone you know
and everyone you meet – that is the new person, My children. That is the person you truly are:
selfless love, filled with My Spirit.
“Do this exercise every day, always in a different situation, whether at work, in the family, or
while driving a car – and say: `I live this hour only for Jesus. I harbor no bad thought; I always
remain patient, remain in love.´ Then you will see how wonderful it is to live in this way, to be
filled with My love. And soon it will be several hours a day, and you will find great joy in living
this way. And finally a union takes place between us – and the result is the new person. Then you
will be filled with an unspeakable joy; you will be filled with a peace the world does not know.
Amen.”

“My children, I now lead you into the time two thousand years ago, into the night that decided
everything for past and future. See how I sit there in the Garden of Gethsemane, how the Son of
God crouches upon the ground and wrestles and struggles with the strength of His soul alone, so
that He could and can accomplish the act of redemption. Only with the power of My soul was I
permitted to win this victory; the divine soul alone was permitted to permeate the universal soul
and make it subject to itself. Yes, the power of the Deity would easily have won this victory, but
then this path of redemption would have been anchored in law and judgment and not in love.
“Love had to win the victory; the love of the Son of Man, who became the Son of God, the love of
the divine soul had to win the victory over the death of the universal soul. Thus in that night I
went to the outermost edge of darkness and halted Satan’s fall; I initiated the reversal, reopened
the return of all fallen life, prepared the path for all life back into the freedom of the Spirit. (Jesus
speaks here of humanity’s spiritual night, for He initiated the reversal in the time between His
death on the cross and His resurrection.)
“And when you hear, My children, that Satan has already turned back, it is true in this sense: that
I ended the fall of matter and initiated its reversal and return. But this is to be understood only of
Satan’s soul. This return is now entering a new dimension through My establishing My Kingdom
of Peace on this Earth. For this Earth is the source of power and the energy point (sinus node) of
the great human being of creation, and so the coming Kingdom of Peace will of course have a
pacifying effect upon the whole creation.
“The return of the universal soul, the fallen soul of Lucifer, will now take a new development; a
new dimension of faith and thus of redemption will be initiated in this creation, and the great
human being of creation will be flooded to a somewhat greater degree with light and love from
My heart.
“Thus I am the ground, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega of all that happens
and will still happen until all that has fallen is found, redeemed, and brought back again; until all
that is lost returns into Me, into My heart, and forms a unity with Me; and the great human being
of creation finally stands complete before Me, kneeling in humility before its God and Creator,
and I will raise it up. And there will be a wedding, a divine union, so that it will then be as I
originally intended: that Lucifer should be a loving counterpart to Me, a bride of My heart.
“My children, when one day you have entered My Spirit, you will be able to grasp this infinite
duration of time at a glance. You will understand in the deepest sense why I permitted this
turning away of Lucifer from Me, this activity of Satan through times and aeons. Everything will
be comprehensible to you on a new level of knowledge which you cannot yet grasp. Therefore
live in trust; again and again anew I lay this trust upon your hearts. Again and again I call you
together and tell you: Little children, trust Me, remain with Me, live with Me and in Me.
Everything will be good.
“And whether I call you away from this world or whether you still have a task to fulfill – leave it to
Me. My plan is perfect for every person. And yet you share in shaping this plan according to the
earnestness and truthfulness with which you walk this path of yours, according to how ready you
are to open your hearts and admit Me into your life. Thus your development and My plan flow
together into a perfect unity of love.
“If you could see the joy of your guardian angels. Guardian angels have different tasks; some have
easier tasks, some difficult ones, some go deep into the darkness, and some have the privilege of
accompanying and protecting children of My love. And so your angels rejoice that they have been
assigned to you and are permitted to accompany you. And it is also their wish and joy that you
speak with them, that you know you always have a best friend with you. You are never alone; you
are always surrounded by good powers, by several good spirits. Always be conscious of this.
“Yes, you really live in the world beyond; matter only covers the Spirit. The one whose spiritual
eye I open sees and has a view into the world of spirit without the covering mantle of matter. He
sees that in truth he has always been in the spiritual world and fundamentally never left it, that
only the covering called matter lies over spirit and soul. Therefore I say: do not fear bodily death,
for it is an easy thing for My children to leave the body. Many of you already long for the moment
when you can leave the body. So be free from the burden of the world, be free from the burden of
death; walk the path gladly and freely at My side. Believe firmly that it is so, My children. Amen.”

Samuel on the inner word and spiritual life: Jesus speaks His word in the heart of the soul; then it
must pass through the landscape of the soul with all the fragments of consciousness present
there. It can happen that earthly conditioning and patterns of opinion try to mingle with God’s
word, or that the directness of the words is lost and they do not come evenly to the surface. Then
the word-child falters and senses that there is a danger that the spoken word may become
distorted or that falsification may gather around the meaning, which is the soul of the word. For
me too this is still a learning process, and while speaking I must be attentive that the original
word not be disfigured. In this caution and attentiveness I sometimes lose the dynamism of
speaking.
Jesus tells me: “Love has spoken the word within you, and I have filled your soul with My love;
therefore only My love will touch My word in your soul, and in this way it reaches the surface
truthfully.” I also sense that it is always Jesus’ word, although sentence structures and forms of
expression can change, but not the meaning of the message.
With the greatest prophet of modern times, Jakob Lorber, the word was spoken directly in the
soul; he received the word complete and did not have to clothe its soul, for it already had its
clothing. Only his use of language gave the messages the form of the time in which he lived.
Thus he received the word in its divine threefold unity, whereas today’s word-children receive it
in the duality spirit-soul and must themselves clothe it with the audible or written covering. It
then depends on how much divine light the recipient has in order to read the word rightly in his
soul and dress it in clothing that fits.
It can also happen that the inner word sometimes, or even exclusively, comes from a person’s
own soul. If the soul is in harmony with the Spirit of God, it too is truthful, but usually mixes with
the soul’s own ideas and wishes as well as thoughts acquired through reading. Then the
expressed word is an imitation of the pure word of God. In such a case it is advisable to pause in
humility, examine oneself, and ask Jesus to give the necessary light of (self-)knowledge for
discernment, for otherwise the soul exalts itself and ultimately threatens to become blind within
its own word.
Jesus also says that He actually wants to speak to each of His children; He wants to speak His
word in every heart, and every person is in fact capable of hearing His word.
The problem is that in this time our souls are so crammed with patterns of opinion and earthly
conditioning because of the many points of reference in thought offered to us by the media and
the distorted world, that the noise in the soul drowns out God’s word.
If we could see how our thoughts whirl around in worldly influence, how entangled they are and
we are thereby with the world, we would see how difficult it is to come into a state of soul that
allows the word of God to be heard in one’s own heart. This is why Jesus says again and again
how important it is to withdraw from the world. We are to isolate ourselves from the world – this
is meant on the level of the soul, not physically. We are to pursue our profession, we deal with
worldly people, but we are not to take hold of worldly energies, so that we remain free of the
satanic thought-images that again and again bind our spiritual powers.
Especially now, divine grace is great; Jesus’ heart is wide open for those who draw their love
away from the world and offer it to Jesus Christ, who open their hearts to Him, who follow His
instructions and His word truthfully and earnestly. They can now be filled with God’s Spirit in a
short time.
Every child of God must ask himself: `To what extent am I ready to walk this path? Are my soul’s
readiness and my love sufficient to surrender my life trustingly to Jesus?´
One can do this only if one has insight into Jesus’ heart. Only when one has recognized what God
is truly like, what relationship He has to us, how much He loves us, can one take this step of
complete surrender. If one does not have this insight, it is really not possible to love Him above all
and give Him one’s life.
We all know these moments, these spiritual heights, in which for a short time we are filled with
light and love. These moments are to become our lasting state; this is what the heavenly Father
wants to give us. But now they are to motivate and encourage us to continue our path
consistently in His love. Thus He says again today: “My children, I am ready to give you My life if
you give Me your life.” With this Jesus addresses every one of us and thus places us in the highest
grace.
But actually it is love of neighbor in everyday life that divinizes us. Every life situation in which
we stand, whether in the family or in our profession, is the environment that the heavenly Father
shapes for us in such a way that He can divinize us within it. Thus in our imperfection we are
embedded in God’s perfection, not under the aspect of His lawfulness, but in His mercy.
For this, patience above all is needed. Patience is not only the problem of worldly people, but also
of the children of God: impatience in earthly things and also in spiritual things. Impatience blocks
divine irradiation and bears witness to a lack of trust in God’s love and guidance. For when one
does not advance spiritually, when it seems to be going too slowly, the fault does not lie with
God’s care and grace, but with one’s own lukewarmness and lack of earnestness, with lack of self-knowledge and above all lack of humility.
What does humility actually mean? Humility is the space we grant God in our soul through
surrendering our own earthly claims to power to divine life. Humility is childlike trust that our
heavenly Father takes care of our life. Humility recognizes God’s power, but still more it
recognizes the power of redeeming and merciful love.
