Jesus speaks: “My children, I have opened My love now and here in this room. Yes, My heart is opened wide for My children in this time. Yes, in My grace I have touched you, called you by your names, which means: I have placed an impulse in your hearts to follow Me. And this grace, this outward grace, I give to every human being, whether through an experience, a word, or distress. But then there is another grace, My children: the inner grace. It is the grace that opens in love for Me.
When you love Me, a completely different aspect of grace comes into effect. Then it is no longer merely the touching that leads you to follow Me and to recognize that I am a God of love; rather, My grace then opens your spirit within your hearts. This grace, My children, is the preparation for spiritual rebirth. It is this grace that makes the human being a true child of God. Everything else is a preparation, a possibility. But you have already gone beyond this possibility of being children of God.
Yes, you have already entered; you find yourselves in the midst of the path, the path on which – you feel it – there is no longer any turning back. Free will does indeed exist, and you could turn away from Me again. And yet you no longer want to let go of Me and My love; you can no longer imagine a life without Me. Not only now and here, but this eternal life at My side, in My heart. Nothing else is any longer in question – from My side, and yet also from your side. And this togetherness, this shared willing to enter into becoming one, is what, My children, moves Me again and again to bring you together in this circle.
Yes, you have become a family, a small family in the Spirit, always united through Me. But now and today you meet here in the personality of your being, so that you may also encounter one another in matter, and that is good. And I too am here, not visible to you, and yet I stand here in the middle of the room in My spirit body, as you know Me, with the wounds in My hands and feet, and I open My heart anew. It was opened two thousand years ago on the cross, and I shed My blood for the sins of human beings. And this blood is the substance of the inner grace of which I spoke before.
This is the true mercy of God, which wipes away every guilt, which moves Me to lay your life entirely into My heart so that the plan of your life may be fulfilled in this time – for every one of you.
Yes, I desire so deeply, My children, that all of you reach the goal of your life. It is the deepest longing of My heart. And this desire of Mine has also been placed within you. Thus you can take hold of this desire of Mine within you, and it will unite with your own willing, and from this arises the power to accomplish it. From this also arise the strength and the insight to recognize your suffering and your distress as an act of mercy. For in many of you there is still much that I must polish away from the soul, rooms that still need to be cleansed so that you may reach your goal, My child.
Therefore place all your distress, worries, and also your bodily ailments into My hand and into My heart. Yes, it is not always easy to recognize what you still lack on the path to Me, and yet there is a room within you, a room of stillness, in which I tell you at all times what you need, what you should leave behind, and what you should do. That is why it is so important that you take time for stillness – every day for half an hour, an hour … or more. Do nothing during that time; enter into stillness, direct your soul, your heart, toward Me, and listen within yourselves.
Then I tell you what you should leave behind, what you should free yourselves from in this world, and how you should shape your life. And if you do this in this sense, daily and with complete earnestness, it is not always necessary to permit certain bodily sufferings to come upon you, for these are always only means to an end; suffering and distress are instruments of My love to draw you to Me. Therefore make use of these times of stillness, take them, fight to obtain them in the course of the day, for the enemy tries especially to prevent them, because in this room of stillness with Me he has no power. Yes, in this room of stillness the victory over sin awaits. And so these are My first words, an entrance into this day.”
* * *
“My children, yes, in the stillness of your hearts I call your names, which I once wrote upon the ground of your hearts. Thus I call you from within. The impulse comes from within; My dwelling city is within you and not outside you. Whoever seeks Me in the world finds My image in the world.
Whoever seeks Me within himself finds Me Myself within himself … only then does divine vitality reveal itself within you.
Everything in the world that has to do with Me is only a signpost leading into your hearts, where I dwell. Everything outside you is not the vitality you need in order to experience and reveal divine life within yourselves. For everything is contained within you. Everything you need – not only for this earthly life but for your life in eternity – I placed within you from the beginning.
But in this time, in this world of bustle and intoxication, it is not so easy to find and raise this treasure. There are so many points of reference for thought that draw you outward. Never before in the time of this Earth have so many thoughts been possible in so many different directions. The human being is torn outward by the countless energies surrounding him instead of withdrawing into his inner world, which is the only possibility of encountering Me.
Back then, when I gathered My apostles around Me … they were simple people. Their day’s work was fishing, was a trade. They were focused on having food and drink for the day. A simple life full of contentment and also peacefulness.
They were gathered inwardly in their doing and thinking. Their souls were not stuffed and filled with every kind of worldly bustle and trinket. There were free spaces within them that I could fill … little by little in the stillness as they accompanied Me through those three years. I found more and more room within them, which they placed at My disposal through their trust and surrender. In essence, it was a simple work to draw apostles and disciples to Myself in that time.
Now, today, it is more difficult, because your consciousness is filled with so much worldly material. Yes, often there is no other way; the challenges of being able to exist on Earth are different from what they were before, and one must occupy oneself with so many things. And yet there is a path apart from this world. You can hand much over to Me; you can accomplish certain things together with Me without great agitation arising in the soul – in trust that I stand by you.
And then there are the times of stillness that I mentioned before. Withdraw for a certain time every day, and become aware of where your thinking is anchored, what it is not necessary to think about. You still add much to what is actually necessary. You could leave many things behind. Yes, once again I say emphatically: In many areas it is necessary to draw your thinking away from the world in order to enter into this simplicity, as My apostles and disciples once could. You too can make yourselves free for Me – the more you trust Me, the more you entrust your life to Me. Otherwise it does not work, My children. Following Me does indeed mean an extraordinary turning away from the world of death.
And there are two kinds of Christians. There are those who integrate the world into their life and say: I can do everything in the world; after all, I am part of it and live in it, and Jesus has accepted me. And then there are those who have recognized that a certain consistency and radicalness in turning away from the world is necessary so that I can fill their souls with My Spirit.
That is a great difference. Worldly Christians carry Me along beside the world and serve two masters; that does not lead to the goal you have set for yourselves, My children. And here I speak the sentence: In certain things one must do violence to oneself. The struggle of life requires your whole commitment, your entire commitment, anew every day.
These words that I speak to you now and today with this earnestness are words from My innermost love, to show you the path you can, should, and must walk if you want to reach your goal. In many congregations and circles much prayer and celebration take place, but often they do not know what they still lack and what they need, because they do not hear Me. But here I can speak to you in this way because you understand My words. You have reached the point in your earthly existence where the necessary insight is present to continue this path in such a way that becoming one with Me can take place.
And so these are words that should fill you with joy because I take such care of you and bring you together again and again. Yes, My heart longs to be with you. My fatherly joy is great in forming and accompanying such circles and congregations where people have set out to serve Me in truthfulness; who have recognized what it means to be a true child of God and follow Me, who with earnestness reshape their life in My love.”

Discussion circle – the brothers and sisters report spiritual experiences as well as their current condition in the life of faith:
A: I am almost eighty-eight years old and came to Jesus when we were still living in Brazil, and then later in Holland. And the love has kept increasing – the more one knows about love and about Jesus, the more intensely the thoughts come that love is really everything. Somewhere it also says: Love is life and wisdom is death. That means: If one has wisdom, one may express it only through love.
Now I have spoken less about myself, but those were the words that were just given to me. We now live in Fürstenfeldbruck. My wife is in a wheelchair and cannot do anything on her own, so that I am occupied all day. That brings the connection with Jesus to the foreground again and again. He gives us tasks in order to increase the spiritual within us.
∞
B: We must be aware of who is here now: Jesus Christ, our Creator, is standing here. What grace that is. I believe that besides love, trust is so important. Every one of us carries a certain package with physical ailments, and there it is a matter of trust being tested. So these are tests we have in order to strengthen our trust in Jesus … and so that we come more into childlike humility before Jesus, into simple childlike humility. And that we simply allow the whole thing; Jesus will guide us accordingly. We just need patience. And so we ask Jesus that the burden He gives us not become too great. He says that He does not give us more than we can bear. That is important. And so we ask You, dear Jesus, do not let our burden become too great.
∞
C: For a few weeks now it has been the case with me that I see Jesus visibly beside me, I believe with my spiritual eyes, but not clearly; rather, blurred. I see Him that way at night and during the day, and actually continuously. But why do I feel Jesus within me while seeing Him beside me? I have no answer to that.
Jesus says about this: “My child, outside yourself you see My reflected image according to how it is constituted in your heart. When your heart-image – that is, your heart – has been completely cleansed and blossoms purely in My love, you will also see My image, Me, outside yourself in clarity, as I am constituted within you. Then My outward image will unite you with Me within you, also in My form and being.
But, My child, even when your heart has already become pure, I must still delay this, because if you were to see Me in My form of love as it is contained in your heart, you would burst your body and could no longer exist in this world. Therefore it is good as it is. What is important for you – and you know this – is that My Spirit is alive within you, that love for Me blossoms in your heart. Everything else comes of itself. Therefore rejoice in this love for Me, in which your soul is completely permeated by My Spirit, and so one day you will enter My kingdom of love at My hand. Amen.”
∞
D: The last few weeks for me have been marked by many things that I do not really like doing, things that arose unexpectedly as well, involving authorities. I noticed that afterward I need a certain amount of time to come back into calm. And so I felt addressed by what Jesus said today through Samuel.
On the other hand, I nevertheless actually take Jesus with me all the time; even when they are worldly matters, I try either to understand the world better in them, to see it with His eyes, and at the same time I also recognize that one’s own willing and one’s own search for solutions is always only a fragment. That then has the positive effect that I become calmer inwardly again and simply accept things as they are.
At the same time, in recent weeks I have had thoughts that brought me closer to Jesus and gave me a deeper understanding of some things. I have had this more often in the past; in the last few weeks, however, it has occurred only in phases. But I know from the past that it keeps coming back, and at some point one can grasp it more clearly, and then it remains with you.
∞
E: My greatest problem, I think, is that for everyone else I can believe that Jesus helps, and I know that He helps when I talk with someone about Jesus or about whatever problems the other person has. But for myself, for my own person, I still cannot accept it. And what I would like is to be able to believe that He helps me too, that I am worthy of His helping me. I would like to be able to believe that one hundred percent – and not only for other souls.
∞
F: Well, since the last time we were here, when I was still having those big roller-coaster rides, I have been doing quite well. I do notice again and again that something comes up, but I recognize it and it is gone relatively quickly; I do not let myself get pulled right back into negative energies. I think the prayers have been heard. And when the attacks come, I think: You are probably doing something well right now, doing something right; otherwise it would not have to come, otherwise no one would want to knock me off course. That helps me, and I get out of these slight fluctuations fairly quickly. So I have to say, I am doing well.
∞
G: I am the same as you. When a temptation comes, I hold fast to Jesus. I am with Jesus every day; I want to be with Him every second. So I am always working on myself. Yes, and I am happy that I may be here again today. Thank You.
∞
H: Recently I have been permitted to have a few very beautiful experiences. Before I go into class at school, I always ask Jesus to place the right words for the students into my heart. A few times now it was truly so beautiful because I really felt that these were not my ideas or my words, but His. We have had a few difficult things at school now, many conflicts between children, and there I felt that Jesus really is working now.
Then I was indeed aware that it was not I who had worked here, but I felt a very tiny bit of pride because I thought: Actually, that would have been the homeroom teacher’s task, what I have now taken over. And then in the very next religion lesson everything went wrong, and it was terrible.
Then I said to Jesus: `Now You are showing me that on my own I truly can do nothing and that I need You.´ And I am grateful that He shows me that right away, because then I can hand over to Him what is not good. And yesterday I again felt Him very strongly.
Sa: It is important that one recognizes this little bit of pride, as you say, and that more and more one attributes to Him what good one does. One does indeed do good from one’s own impulse, but He has actually done it through a person and taken that person along in doing it. That is humility.
∞
I: My heart is pounding like crazy right now, as though it wants to jump out. I have the great fortune, let us put it that way, that I am on the way to losing many things. In other words, I will lose my job in the not-too-distant future, lose my practice, but I know that the heavenly Father is taking over. And now I am allowed to let go.
This letting go is beautiful on the one hand, but on the other hand everyone asks: `So what are you going to do now? Have you already thought about it? You have to know now where you are going and what it will look like.´ Everyone wants to give me advice, and I say: `No, the Father will do it.´
He has always done it and He will do it now too; that is how it was and is in my life. I know that He is there, and I wish for all of us that we can kneel before Him and say: `Father, You take over everything, no matter what happens. I rejoice in You and I know that You will do it.´ And I can only do it in such a way that every day I say: `I love You, I trust You. Please do everything, I love You.´ And the more often I say that from the heart, the stronger faith becomes.
Jesus says something about this: “My child, are you ready to sacrifice everything for Me? Are you ready to enter complete lack of support, without any mental support to fall back on? Then I will catch you and give you a new life upon a completely new foundation, for which you have now been prepared throughout the ages, before this world and in this world.
Through your childlike nature, which allows complete trust in Me, it is possible to prepare you in such a way that upon this new ground on which I will place you, you can become one with Me. But in order to reach this goal you will still walk through a deep valley – together with Me.
And if in it you do not let go of My hand, in trust and in love for Me, then it will happen and then it has already happened. Amen.”
∞
J: First of all I am very grateful that I may be here today. This morning it was not entirely clear yet, because for some time my wife has been having such pain in her sciatic nerve and therefore can do very little. Because of that I have to take over more tasks in the household, and I still have the practice as well. And sometimes it is very challenging in this time, also because of the issues that then come up in the practice.
Yes, I try every day to go into the day with Jesus, in the morning and evening at least to take a little time so that He accompanies me through the day. At the moment that is somewhat difficult, and sometimes a little feeling comes up in me: The more I pray, the worse it gets. But I know that we receive only what is good for us, what advances our soul toward reaching the goal we set for ourselves. With these thoughts I come back into myself and into being able to accept this within me as well.
∞
K: Well, I too am going through extremely intense times right now. I am often lying on the floor and have really severe fears of death. And precisely in those moments it is such that I can then open myself to Jesus and manage to feel so much love for Him.
Then I notice how somehow everything flows through me, and then I am also allowed to write beautiful poems to Jesus, and at times it has already happened that He tells me things, but then I am unsure whether they are from Him.
And I simply want to lay aside everything I still am, everything that takes away the room for Him within me. But these are processes that are so incredibly intense that I often think I cannot do it. But Jesus is there then and gives me strength. And then there are also very beautiful moments when I am allowed to bear witness to Jesus. I do not meet any resistance at all. Recently, for example, I was with an osteopath and said to her: `Yes, Jesus is my life and He has everything in His hand.´ She then said: `You know, I think it is so beautiful how you can stand by your faith, and there are hardly any people left who can do that.´ And so beautiful conversations arise again and again. On the other hand I am allowed to sort out my old life, the old things still within me, and work on them. Jesus is always there and guides me.
∞
L: I have a good relationship with Jesus, but what He says today and what I hear makes me feel addressed. And with this complete surrender and handing everything over, without having security in the world, I have a problem, quite honestly. I still have to learn that.
The Father does very much; I live together with Him in my heart, and when something evil comes up I can recognize it quickly and can give it to Jesus, and He takes it away from me too; Jesus takes everything one gives Him. But this complete surrender … that too is a step of development. It is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute, hoping that Jesus will catch me …
Sa: I do not think it is meant that extremely. A worldly security is also a job. You have to earn money so that you can provide for your family and pay your rent. If you have a physical ailment, you can go to the doctor with Jesus and can ask Jesus to bless the doctor through you. When we have toothache we go to the dentist too, or if we break something, then we need earthly medicine – for now.
You can certainly make use of the world, but Jesus must stand in first place. Your love must belong to Him alone, while you use the world in order to be able to exist on Earth. And you do it together with Him if you love Him.
L: Yes, exactly. In any case He has my love.
Sa: With I. that was an extreme word. But she has a special constitution of soul for entering into becoming one with Jesus. Her whole life is oriented toward that. She can no longer imagine anything other than this `everything only with Jesus´ and being completely dependent on Him. Her soul is simply constituted that way, but all of this is entirely individual. You can calmly go to the doctor and also have worldly securities, but receive them from Jesus’ hand; then He gives you this worldly security.
L: Yes, I already do that. But now I was really startled, and during the general word from the Father I thought: Oh God, oh God, this is getting more and more dangerous. (General laughter.)
Sa: He says it so emphatically because we simply have to take another step further. The world, the Earth as a whole, humanity as a whole, is now in a process of decision – and every individual child of God as well. The time has now come when we must take a step closer to Jesus and go still deeper into trust and surrender. That is the point where we now stand. And that is why He says it so emphatically, because the spirits are separating again now. That is why He also speaks of Christians and of Christians. There is a great difference.
L: But that does not mean that I have to go out to evangelize and preach; that time is not here for me yet. Jesus says He needs me in the new time.
Sa: We fight a spiritual battle – within ourselves. That has to take place first, then we can proclaim His word to the world. There are also many who evangelize before that. Here too good will is the motive, but actually the Father wants us first to experience within ourselves a preparation prescribed by Him … He also sent out His apostles only after they had been trained. A God-appropriate completion must first take place within us, then we receive the tasks that await us. Whoever runs ahead of his development thwarts God’s plan or delays it. But some of us have already been trained to the point that they can carry out a divine commission.
But not all children of God are in any case called to evangelize and preach or to appear publicly. Yet we are led again and again into situations in order to pass on writings or bear witness to Jesus through our own experiences; that is already the case now. You can be completely at peace, my brother. You know what Jesus wants from you. You know everything you need to know. Your soul is initiated and permeated by His Spirit. If a guilty conscience arises in you, that comes from the other side. Jesus loves you and you are exactly where you are supposed to be. You are walking the path He has prepared for you. Do not let yourself be knocked off course.
∞
M: I am also glad that I may be here. But I also have problems. I ask myself: How will my life continue now? What task do I have? Do I have a calling, or only stillness at home? But stillness does not work so well either; then I would rather take a book and read something spiritual.
But for weeks I have always had praise songs in my ear, real earworms all day long. And also at night, when I wake up, I notice that there was another earworm. And that makes me happy; it makes me content.
But sometimes I am also afraid when all the comforts we have now fall away, the shower and electricity and everything. Then I think: I do not know how I will cope with that. But I do trust Jesus very much. And I am very glad that He reminds me of Himself again and again whenever I have drifted away a little.
Sa: Something occurs to me about that. Not long ago Jesus said to me: `You have not thought of Me at all today.´ I then said: `I will do that, but first I still have to …´ Then He said: `Then I will think of you now.´
Then my soul was filled and permeated with love so intensely that I thought I would die. And He said: `There, now I have thought of you.´ It was such a beautiful experience. He was not angry with me because I had not thought of Him; rather, He showed me: But I am thinking of you, all the time. And now I will open My `thinking-of-you´ so that you can see what is inside it.
∞
N: I am glad that I came after all. This morning I called and said that I could not come, but now we drove here anyway. For four weeks I have had hellish sciatic problems; the pain goes all the way down into my toes and it hurts all the time. I am not really someone who is sensitive to pain, but with this I could truly scream. And then I often think, why? And you said before as well: This is the test, that despite everything I can remain with Him, even when I have such pain.
Someone said something before about attacks. Somehow I never really have the feeling that these are attacks in my case. But I can downright feel how Jesus is testing me to see whether I remain with Him. And I notice that the worse I feel, the closer I come to Him – and I know that it is guided and I am grateful. I also always pray that I not fall away from Him.
Sometimes one comes into really terrible moments where one thinks: `I am falling away from faith.´ It is not that far with me. Yes, and sometimes when I am in such pain I ask myself: `What can You use me for now in this condition?´ Sometimes I am even nasty when someone speaks to me. Then I do not want to know anything. How can I be useful to anyone in such a state? But I think it all has its meaning.
Sa: Käthe Pfirrmann often asked herself that too. She also had these severe back pains, and she had them in prison and had to lie on a hard bunk. She too sometimes asked herself: `What is the point of this now? How can I serve You in this? What meaning does this still have for me, for my life with these pains?´
N: Yes, those are thoughts that come then. Sometimes I am even ashamed that I think: `But if it is like this, my God, what am I still doing here? I would rather be with You right away.´ But that is not a good thought either.
Sa: Perhaps you could not go to Him yet. Perhaps quite a few things still have to be cleansed in your soul. Or souls accompanying you can come into a process of redemption through you. Have you ever thought about that?
N: That actually has been a topic again and again recently. I have my parents with me very concretely.
Sa: And others too. But then the question arises whether the other souls really should be with you, or whether someone attached himself to you because of your work as a natural-health practitioner – that there was perhaps a session during which a door opened that never closed again. Have you ever thought in that direction?
N: Yes, that could be the case too.
Sa: Okay, then let us see whether something else reveals itself during the Devotional Gathering.
∞
O: A question occupies me, and I recognize that much of it also concerns you. It has to do with the problem: What is inside, what is outside? And especially: What is actually the meaning of this absolute madness that we are now experiencing outside? What, so to speak, is its projection upon the inner? On the other hand we are not supposed to occupy ourselves so much with the outside at all. But there is the suspicion that something must lie behind it, otherwise it would not be so completely abnormal. There I naturally feel just as lost as you. And what insights one gains from it, or what it means for one’s own path.
Sa: Do you mean that what is happening in the world burdens you so much?
O: Yes, generally. When we listen to one another here, we see that for very many brothers and sisters at the moment the outer world is actually undergoing very great upheaval or affecting us with many negative aspects. That does seem unusual to me.
Sa: Yes, we live in a very special time. Jesus said: `All evil must now come to the surface, become visible, and receive power so that it can then be disempowered.´ We incarnated into this time, into this time of transition into the Kingdom of Peace. That is why it is so important that we live in the awareness that we walk together with Jesus, that with Him we have protection, and that ultimately everything is led toward the good.
The evil that is acting now still has one more opportunity to come to its senses. There is still a possibility of turning back; otherwise it will be bound and led onto other paths so that this world can finally come to rest and exist for a time in peace. We are part of this process.
O: Are we now invited to enter actively into interaction there, or simply to observe from a calmly resting position?
Sa: I would not become active outwardly now, for example by demonstrating or somehow involving myself in the process of an earthly counter-movement; rather, I hold entirely to Jesus. He always says that we should not take sides.
He says that we should entrust ourselves wholly to Him, turn our eyes more away from the world and orient ourselves completely toward Him, and that only together with Him can we pass through this time unharmed.
U: Yes, but intercessory prayer – that is what we can do. Prayers for humanity, also for the people currently in positions of power, because they too have a spark of God within them that can move or grow larger.
V: I feel that very strongly too. And I have such an impulse within me that when Jesus fills me completely with love, then the whole world is enveloped in love and light, and then I see the whole world and everything in a bright light. Then I think: It may be only a few minutes, but that is already something positive.
Sa: Exactly, but that takes place within us. The world is also within us, and when within ourselves we envelop the world in love, then that happens at the same time in the outer world. For the spiritual world within us is also the soul-spiritual world outside us, only clothed in matter; they are identical. When we touch the world within ourselves in spirit with love, then outside at that same point it too is touched with love, and this in turn then continues into matter. That is really a logical process. Therefore, as you say, intercessory prayer is very important, so that through the world within us we touch the outer world. This can happen with love and light, but also with hatred and darkness. Thus we are spiritual workers and fighters in the vineyard of the Lord.
∞
P: I am grateful for every single new day, for every word, for every providential arrangement and guidance that I am allowed to experience from the heavenly Father. It is so exciting in a positive sense. At the beginning of the year I too spent two weeks acutely occupied with sciatica, so much that I thought: `What does the Father want to tell me with this now?´ Insights and further things actually resulted from it, especially on the physical level, that enriched me. I have now also been offered a conventional medical treatment where I very clearly noticed: There is definitely a yes, that I should do this. I am not always so much in favor of that, but there I clearly felt: `Trust and get involved, do it.´ And I want to continue along that path too.
Overall I notice that I am becoming so relaxed toward this whole worldly theater. I feel like a spectator in a theater, watching the play on the stage and thinking: `Okay, I am sitting here and they are acting up there; I am not part of it.´ And that relaxes me and takes away all those battles I thought I still had to fight in the world, at work, with people, with customers. It is simply beautiful. I am so grateful for that.
My greatest wish to Jesus right now is that He actually take me out of work within the next, medium-term period and lead me back to my old home, to my family, to my grandchildren, so that I may simply be of use there. Naturally, if it is His will. In the end I do not know where He may still want me. Those are my ideas. I have nothing more to say right now.
∞
Q: I too am very grateful to be here. I have the feeling that for the last few weeks, months, I could always cry in the morning and evening and also at night because I am permitted to feel so much closeness, or because Jesus lets me feel it. I work in a school, so to speak at the front line. What the children bring with them from their families … it is really intense. It feels so good in the morning, evening, at noon, or at night in prayer to feel His love and to flow into it. This flowing in, dissolving, flowing into Jesus and flowing with the love. This word is very tangible right now … surrendering oneself and being one. Sometimes I write down my prayers and there too I have the feeling that He speaks to me. All of it has to do with so much joy and closeness.
You spoke before about school. I can confirm that. This feeling, this aggression, these volcanoes that come toward me. And that I am really allowed to see: This is Jesus who has now resolved this or that situation with me as an instrument, with so much love and blessing.
∞
R: I am also a teacher, and it is the same for me as for you. I am very committed and very occupied professionally. I like my profession, but what the children bring with them is very exhausting; it is becoming more and more difficult. Sometimes I have considerable back pain. Perhaps it comes from that, because I have to help carry a little of what the children bring. Trust in God is a major point where I still have much to learn – to trust that everything will be well, that my back too will relax again. These are tension pains, so I simply have to relax more, enter into stillness, and trust that it will become well again.
Sa: And your earthly existence as a whole?
R: I feel very blessed in my earthly existence. I have two grown sons who bring me joy …
Sa: … a profession that fulfills you, a husband with whom you are happy. Jesus has prepared an earthly existence for you to make you happy, to show you how much He loves you, so that you can recognize His love for you.
R: Yes, the world is so beautiful just as it is, and sometimes I think I have not deserved all that the Lord gives me.
Sa: Do you think He demands something from you for it?
R: Yes, surely He wants something from me, and I do not know whether I can give everything back.
Sa: It is actually quite simple: He only wants your love.
R: But I give that. Perhaps it is not enough yet, but I want to give more. That is all He wants.

S: For a few weeks I have been having pressure in my stomach, and then it turns into fear; often I do not know at all what I should do. But when I then go into prayer, I know that Jesus is there, He is with me. And He is also taking care of what is happening with my husband; he has an inflammation of a spinal disc in which the vertebrae are dissolving. Now we simply have to wait, and the Father keeps saying: `Give everything to Me, give everything to Me, give everything to Me.´ And when I then do not enter into trust, I become afraid, and then my stomach hurts even more. Yes, I have to trust more, to bring Him absolute trust in the Father. That is what He wants.
Sa: `I carry your burden together with you,´ He says. That applies to all of us: `I help carry your burdens; carry your burdens together with Me. That too is a path of becoming one with Me.´

T: I am very happy that I may be here today. I have had moving weeks and months behind me. Yes, a few months ago I said to Jesus that He should please tear the gray stains from my soul-garment so that I have a pure soul-garment and may go home to Him. Well, then first my car broke down and I stood before the challenge: Nothing works without a car; I cannot get to work without my car, but I have to drive to work. I was standing with my back against the wall, and even though normally every morning and evening I go into prayer, into conversation with Jesus, it was intense for me. I sat there on the couch crying my eyes out, was desperate, and thought: `I am standing in this situation now, I cannot get any farther, and I have no way out.´ And to Jesus I said: `My heart, my soul, my spirit, my body, my whole life, from the cooking pot to the car – everything belongs to You; I exclude nothing.´
And suddenly there was a solution; my dad helped me. And I said to Jesus: No matter what comes between us, I want only You from now on. Yes, that is how it is; I am sticking with it, I am holding fast to it. It was a task to enter into trust and say: `Okay, I am afraid, but I take Your hand and give You everything I have in trust and confidence that You will help me.´
Sa: Sometimes one has to fight one’s way into this trust. Jesus too had to win this surrender again in the Garden of Gethsemane in the struggle with the satanic energies working against it, so that one does not enter this trust. And the apostles too had to fight and struggle again and again for unconditional trust. One should not reproach oneself when one has to fight for it, sometimes for days, for weeks, in order to win the necessary trust in God in a certain situation of life. In this way one makes it one’s own, so that one can no longer lose it.
So it is good when one has to win it; that is a good process. One should not reproach oneself and say: `Oh dear, I did not enter trust immediately.´ Rather, it is a good fight, and the victory comes together with Him.
And to the extent that you enter ever more deeply into trust, Jesus comes toward you at the same time, and there you meet Him; in this process of trust a divine union takes place, and there awaits the one-hundred-percent certainty: `He is with me now and is helping me in this situation.´

U: In January I faced a severe trial. My son had irritant-gas poisoning, and when I saw him I thought he was dying and would not survive. I had a very sad week, but he recovered. And then this struggle between good and evil came again (the son is homeless and psychologically troubled), this conflict with me, this threat, so intense that I could no longer bear it. For now I have rented him an apartment for three weeks. He had been with me for seven weeks in my living room—I have a three-room apartment, where my other son has one room.
Yes, things have calmed down, and now I am somewhat relieved. He has a roof over his head; I brought him food. But what is to happen next? Let him go back onto the street? He cannot stay in my living room; it is unbearable. Yes, I am in a difficult situation, but the strength to keep living is there, and sometimes I think: I cannot go on anymore, but somehow energy still comes, and the joy of continuing to live, and I am glad to be here now.
∞
V: From the last meeting pretty much everyone knows about my broken arm and the operation and the problems with my shoulder – and the basis was this: Even before 2023, in a conversation with Jesus I had said: `Yes, of course I want to follow You, one hundred percent, body and soul, with everything I have.´ Then He said: `That would be a hard break and cut in your life.´ He said that literally. A break and a cut I have now, yes, and in recent weeks, not because of my love for Jesus or my trust in Him, but because of various therapists and doctors, I have had quite a roller-coaster ride of feelings and conversations with Jesus, back and forth: what do I do and what do I not do? But I can explain that better by means of my dialogues with Him.
It was quite fascinating and exciting and also beautiful … I am in the washing machine now, as one says, in the divine spin cycle. Fifteen years ago He already said to me: `I will squeeze you like a lemon.´ That is what we are doing now, and I am trying to bear it with composure and trust. The problem for me is this: I know that He can heal me because I have entrusted myself to Him, but I do not know when that will be, and I have a little problem with that. He is testing my patience, and I do not like being patient and I do not like waiting either. So He is probably drawing it out, I suppose, and I am hanging a little in the ropes now; but only here. With love and trust, in principle everything is okay.
Sa: But trust and patience are really inseparably connected.
V: Yes, they should be inseparable. I still have to work on that.

W: I had a congenital heart defect; it was operated on four years ago, and then one thing led to another, and the second heart valve, and so on and so on. I had actually been doing quite well, but since Christmas I have noticed severe shortness of breath. With the current diagnostics they then established that I again have a hole at the heart valve; that is, I have a hole in my heart that can open completely at any time.
Sa: Let me make that concrete: You live with the awareness that you can die every second. One really has to picture that. It is indeed true of every human being, but in your case it is very special because it is acute; death accompanies you every second.
W: I have already gone through this twice, once with the aneurysm that was connected with the heart-valve defect; then the valve had already torn once, so this is now basically the third time. The two operations were such that I was really more dead than alive; and now with the diagnostics, my heart surgeons will no longer operate on me because it is too difficult.
But last Thursday I had an appointment with an interventional cardiologist who did a special CT of the medial valve. Of course I had no idea at all what would come of it or how it would go. The day before I received a word from Jesus in which He said: `I am with you and I will arrange things.´
And now I would like to show what His arranging things means: I drove to the clinic, but I was there an hour early. I went to the secretary and checked in; she had already prepared everything. Then we went straight to X-ray. The X-ray waiting room was full of people, but at that moment the door opened and the MTA called me. I thought: `That cannot be; does she mean me?´ Okay, I went in, we filled everything out calmly, they placed an IV line, and by then I was already really scared. But the two of them were so kind and said that, as a nurse, I too had helped many people and now I was being helped as well, and that Professor Hausleiter is good.
Then I went back out, found the last free seat, and was just about to sit down when the MTA came again and said: `Mrs. H., come with me.´ So I went along, and then she said: `We are going into the SZT (stem-cell transplantation) unit now because everything is full here.´ She had called ahead; no polytrauma case was coming in just then, so exceptionally they would do my CT downstairs. She accompanied me down there and said it would be about fifteen minutes before my turn; one minute later she came back and said I could come along.
They did the CT. Then an emergency came in, but I had just finished. Then I went back to the secretary, who said: `I will call Professor Hausleiter right away, but he has no time just now; you will have to wait.´ Hardly had I begun waiting when she came back and said I could also wait by the professor.
Now it is actually the case that they can close this leak by eighty percent. He guarantees me that, but perhaps they can close it completely. And we will do that on March 31. It is not an easy path, because I am again being prepared for intensive care, for all the complications that can occur. That is how His guidance can be.

X: I stand pretty much alone in the monastery with my awareness, but one has to participate in everything: pray the breviary, then Mass every day, and so on. But there too one cannot talk with Jesus the whole time because the other nuns are always praying aloud. When there is silent adoration, then one can speak alone with Jesus, but otherwise you always have to pray along, or else people speak to you askance. Once I said something to one of them about the WHO, and she said: `That does not matter at all.´ Well, what can one do? Somehow, as a nun, I feel alien in the monastery. But I cannot leave either because I am already so old. That is why I quite like coming here.
∞
Y: But one can feel alien not only in a monastery; one can also feel alien in the world. I often have the feeling that I am a stranger. When I am here in this group, then I am not a stranger, but when I am at home there is no one who shares the faith with me. Then one feels alien. One also holds back when one notices that there is no point in saying anything more.
But so much today has been about trust. Recently I had a dialogue with Jesus. It was about the fact that I no longer have people with whom I can do very much. But I have a little female dog whom I take out every day. That is truly a joy for me. One also still gets into a little conversation that way and meets people. Now all at once this dog was doing very badly. I was completely beside myself and thought: `What if Reika goes now? I cannot even bear to think about it.´ Then I went into prayer.
I cannot reproduce it exactly anymore, but I laid everything before Jesus and spoke with Him as if a human being were sitting opposite me. At some point I said that He should please give me the certainty that I would not receive another severe blow. Then a dialogue developed; at some point He said to me: `It is about trust.´
Then He said: `So remember My words. This certainty I give you: I will never disappoint you. Everything that has happened was necessary for you and yours for the great salvation of your souls. Believe Me, not everyone can say that he will soon be reunited with all his loved ones for the great feast in the spiritual homeland. Give Me your fullest trust in all things; I will never disappoint you.´
He did not say: `You will not receive another blow.´ He said: `I will not disappoint you.´
But the way He said it, that inner feeling with it – one does not want to come out of it at all. It was so strong, so intimate.
Then I also said to Him: `Could You please let me keep this feeling; can I walk with it every day now?´ I know that is not possible, but when I think about it I can place myself back into this feeling.
Sa: Would you briefly summarize your story, because not everyone here knows you?
Y: Yes, in the course of my life I have lost all the people whom I loved and who loved me. In 2021 it was my brother, then my husband, still during the Corona period, and since then there is really no one left with whom I feel connected or who feels connected with me. That is why I want to feel more and more connected with Jesus, and I do feel connected with Him. There are still very difficult days or times, but in prayer He then gives me images, words, impressions that comfort me.
And yes, at some point I also said to Him that I would so like to bring Him joy and do not know how. Then He said to me – I actually wanted to do something great for Him – that He does not place everyone over great things, not here, but I can give Him joy by bringing Him everything, my fears, my worries … then I thought: `Then I am not very joyful for Him.´ But He showed me that this indeed gives Him joy and added: `Naturally you should also bring Me your joys,´ but first He had named everything else.
At first I did not entirely understand that because I had once heard that a Christian must not be without a cross. He said that was correct, but that the cross we bear is matter, is our body; that is already a cross to which we are fastened, nailed, and that this could actually be enough if otherwise we bring Him everything. He would take this cross from us only on the Last Day, but everything else we could already bring Him beforehand.

Z: First of all, I am very grateful that I can be here again today. It makes me immensely happy; it means a great deal to me. When I have heard all this now – yes, I am in a similar situation. But I see that as an advantage, because I learn from it. I too have always felt throughout my whole life as though I were in the wrong movie, and in principle I was also, at least in my own feeling, always alone.
At present problems are placed before me that in the past I could never have handled the way I can today. This happens in the knowledge that I am with Jesus and Jesus is with me. And then suddenly all of it is so insignificant, so relative, so unimportant, no matter what happens. And for me that is simply fantastic. Yes, this difference I can see between how I used to deal with such things and how I deal with them today: There are still problems and I look for solutions, but something opens up and I feel guided and carried. I am with Jesus, period; I need nothing more. And it simply feels good.
Something else occurs to me: I would actually like to be much farther along already. When, for example, I want to enter into stillness and pray, I cannot concentrate very well. Then I think: `Yes, forcing it is perhaps not right either.´ And then I am dissatisfied with myself again. Impatience is a topic in any case. Sometimes I want to pull on the blade of grass, but I know that does not work; we have to let it grow.
Then I tell myself again: `The Father will do it at the pace you can bear.´ This conflict is always there in me. But by and large I feel well.

Ü: I am very happy and grateful that I may be here. In the last few days I have had many encounters in which I was allowed to tell people something about Jesus or offer them a book. I was allowed to be in Innsbruck and went hiking in the forest. I sat down on a bench and read in the book `Present-Day Words of Jesus.´ Suddenly a young man was standing beside me, looking into the sun and smiling … somehow he had such an angelic face. I then listened within myself as to whether I should start a conversation with him. But there was nothing, and I kept reading.
When I stood up, his girlfriend came over. I greeted her, walked a little way, and then felt prompted to turn around. There they both were sitting on the bench and waving to me. I saw that as a sign and went back again. Then he said to me: `You radiate such peace.´ Then I said: `Yes, I love Jesus.´ Then both of them took my hand, held it very tightly, and said thank you.
Then I asked what they believed in. He said it was so hard to believe anything, but for example he believed in the warmth of the sun. Then I gave them the book and we said goodbye in love. The next day I went for a walk again and had the `Love Letter of Jesus´ with me. Near a small pilgrimage chapel I met an elderly couple. In my heart came: `Give them the letter.´ The man was so happy about it, thanked me five times, and beamed. Yes, I have had several such encounters recently.
I feel the guidance and love of Jesus again and again. But I do not hear any word as other brothers and sisters do. Sometimes I want to become sad about that, but I push it away immediately.

Ö: When one is last, one can find a little of everything one has heard within oneself. Naturally I do not want to repeat all that now. At the moment I am in the phase where my professional life is ending. I think a great deal about what my life will be like in the future. I experience it as a gift that I am now being taken out of my work, which I gladly did for years, but the whole circumstances at work have simply ceased to be pleasant.
I want to be a blessing. What will my days look like in the future so that I do not waste the time, but also do not put myself into a corset? Just as J. said: Since he no longer works, he has so much more time for Jesus. I wish that for myself too, that I build that into the course and structure of my day. Those are the thoughts occupying me at the moment.

Samuel: Dear brothers and sisters, from these reports one can see that we children of God too stand in the struggle of life, and no one is exempt. Many have to struggle severely with themselves and the world; every man and woman has his or her very own destiny and cross to bear in this time. But there is a great difference from worldly people: We stand in the love of Jesus Christ and in the confidence that He will lead everything to a good end. We see our distress as preparation so that we may become free for fulfillment with the Holy Spirit. We have divine assistance at all times if we remain in trust and in love for our heavenly Father.
It is important that we never give up and never allow ourselves to be drawn away from this path with Jesus, whether by this world or the world beyond. We must remain steadfast; then His victory becomes our victory and His life becomes our life.
* * *
Jesus speaks: “I have bundled all your words of today; I have tied up a bundle and placed it in My heart. Whether it is distress of soul, bodily pain, or, My child, that you find it difficult to enter My presence – all of this I have gathered. You have given it to Me; I take these words and thoughts, cleanse them, and place them back into your hearts so that you may be free in love for Me.
And to those who suffer bodily pain I say: My children, hold on a little longer. Everything has its benefit and its purpose. One day you will thank Me for having permitted this time of distress so that you reach your goal. You can always fight this spiritual battle, even when you are in distress, or especially then, for then the power of My love unfolds within you – if you remain in humility.
Yes, I have heard every word from your mouths. I have also heard every thought that accompanied these words. And every thought behind them, which you did not think while speaking, I see. And so I see deeply into your consciousness, what you yourselves do not see. Yes, I see to the ground of your soul. And much there is hidden from yourselves and from the world. And because I see so deeply into you, and because I am in truth the ground of your existence, I know what path each one of you has to walk, wholly individually and specifically. And so the preparation takes place in this divine consciousness from Me, upon this divine path of redemption that I have prepared for you.
This path is perfect, My children. As imperfect children of My love, you walk upon this path of perfection. What does that mean for you? It means – and here we are again at the word trust – that you make yourselves aware that My path for you is perfect. And the deeper you enter trust, the more deeply you will immerse yourselves in this awareness of the perfection of My love. And so it is a walking-together: I, the Perfect One, and you, My child, in your imperfection – thus we walk together into My heart. And you are to keep moving forward so that on your path My Spirit can take possession of you more and more. For it is to become one spirit, because only perfection can enter My heavens.
You think: `Yes, my Father, then I will never get into heaven as I am. If I were to die now, I could not enter heaven in my imperfection, in my weakness, and in everything worldly that still clings to me.´
And I say: Yes, My child, that is so. That is why I am preparing you. I create the conditions for My Spirit to fill you completely, and therefore do not worry about how you are still constituted now. It can happen very quickly in love for Me. As I already said: The grace in love for Me is a different grace from the grace of the first touching in the world. And the more trust you have in My love, the more powerfully this grace works, the more divine power opens within you and acts upon your life in every phase of time, in every part of the space in which you move.
So take heart, My children. The words I spoke at the beginning were earnest and shook you awake in many respects. But now I place these words into a new vessel that I hand to you so that you may drink from it. Drink the water of life; drink from this word so that your longing may be stilled and all worries and fears may depart from your hearts. Yes, drink of My love, My children, for it is the remedy for everything.”
* * *
Jesus speaks in conclusion: “My children, the sign that love has become alive within you is this: If you imagine that on this whole Earth there are only you and Me, My child, and I am so completely enough for you that you no longer have any longing for anything else, but My love fills you entirely and makes you happy, then you have reached your goal. When I have become your all in all, divine vitality will become conscious to you and you will enter My consciousness; then your soul is divinized. That alone is freedom, My children; there is no other. Amen.”
