Friday
Dear heavenly Father, You have called us into this circle. You have prepared the paths for Your children. You have looked into our hearts, where longing for You has called out – and this call has entered Your heart. And so You sent out Your angels to gather us and lead us here to this inconspicuous place, which You now raise up into a divine place. This place, which is now the center in this land, Germany, because You stand here in the midst of Your children, full of the joy You have as a Father who has drawn children to Himself through ages and eternities, in order now and here to wrap us in Your love, now and here to show us what it means to walk this path and to stand in this grace, to be permitted to be a child of God, but also the responsibility that rests within it.
Jesus takes over: “For, My children, the path of God is no game; it is not an easy path. You knew that before you entered this body, before you came to this Earth. I equipped you with all the necessary instruments and talents, with the weapons of love and with the light of wisdom, sunk deep within your hearts, so that as you pass through this dark valley called Earth, in your love for Me this light may awaken and blaze in your hearts and show you the path you have to walk and now are to walk in order to reach this lofty goal: to become and be a true child of God for eternity.
Thus this creation is unique. Yes, I have already called many creations into life, countless ones … there was no beginning to creating. But all creations before this one in which you now find yourselves were a preparation for this present adventure: to create gods beside Me, so that you may rule the universe with Me, so that you may forever call new creations into life together with Me, in bliss and perfection for all eternity. You cannot measure what this means, and yet it is a glimpse ahead that expands your consciousness and motivates you to continue along this path in earnestness and truthfulness so that you may reach your goal.
But that is not now the main thing that should determine your life. What matters is entering here and now into your true identity, into being filled with the Spirit of My love, so that you may serve Me in this time in which the Antichrist rules the world, in which darkness wraps this world in an almost impenetrable cloud of godlessness, within which you are and are to be the light and the love.
So you did not come to this Earth to lead a life of ease here, so that things might go well for you on Earth. You came here to fight a battle for love against all the resistance that death on this Earth offers you. You came to this Earth not merely to hear beautiful spiritual words, but to put these words of Mine into action. Yes, My children, it is about the deed. It is about bringing into reality what I tell you. And that is quite simple; it is My teaching, which I gave two thousand years ago and which I give today in the same words:
Love Me above all and love your neighbors as yourselves. Do good to those who do not do good to you. Help those in need to the extent that you are able. Free your soul from the bonds of the flesh so that you may become free inwardly to receive the Spirit from within your hearts. Struggle and wrestle for the freedom of your soul with every means, with all the strength I have placed within you. For only in this way can you enter into spiritual rebirth.
And so I said: the journey across this Earth is no game, no pleasure; it is a hard, stony path, it is a battle. But the reward, the outcome, is eternal. And this time on this Earth is only a short one, a point in eternity, and yet so important, for this point determines your future.
In this sense I emphasize: there are three heavens. There is the heaven of wisdom, there is the heaven of love-wisdom, and there is the highest heaven, the heaven of love, in which I Myself dwell in person. The center and life of this heaven is My dwelling house, the Father’s house, which represents My heart. You yourselves decide how far you wish to walk this path, how far you free yourselves from this world in order to live for love and then, in this love, enter into My heart, into My house.
I have looked into your hearts and there I see the desire to bring precisely this into reality, this life in My presence, and that in the spiritual world you can really imagine no other life than being with Me for eternity. This is the reason I have brought you together here. Yes, some of you do not yet see this longing within yourselves so clearly. But I look into your hearts, deeper than you yourselves see. I know your hearts through and through; after all, I took you from My heart, and your hearts are Mine. You are the children of My love whom I am now bringing together on this Earth so that I may reunite you into the one heart from which you were taken.
That is your destiny. And yet your will is free. I have left you free, but I show you the possibilities you have. And with all My divine power and support I accompany you, guide you, lead you, protect you, so that you may reach this holy goal. And this, My children, is to happen already in this earthly life: that you are at least prepared to such an extent that when one day you leave your bodies, you can enter My house – and in truth you should and can do this even now.
Yes, it is so that already here on this Earth you can enter the new city of Jerusalem, which is called the city of God and was once so called on this Earth, and which now represents the city of God in the spiritual world. Already here on this Earth you are to be citizens of this city of Mine. For this city has long since descended upon this Earth. And this city is the word, and is the truth, and is the life of My word, and is the life of truth, and is love. And when you enter the realm of love and make My word alive within you, you at the same time enter My heart, and that is the house in which I dwell in this city.”
Jesus pauses in silence.
“But, My children, your soul must become still. In stillness you hear the quiet words I speak to you in your hearts. In the noise of the world you have no possibility of perceiving this fineness, this purity, this whisper of My heart. Therefore it is so necessary to go into stillness, again and again to tear yourselves away anew from the world, which demands so much from you and again and again draws you outward into its raging and noise and binds your love to points of reference in the world – and these things are really not good for your soul.
And yet I also say: I am patient; there is still time, and yet it is so important to seek and find these quiet minutes and hours with Me in the course of the day. Yes, sometimes one must force oneself to step out of the world, simply sit down and speak a prayer, a quiet, short prayer, a free prayer, a prayer of the heart: ‘Dear Father, here I am. I cannot come to rest; the world pulls at me, and within me there is noise and unrest. Please come to me, lay Your hands upon me, so that I may find peace in the eye of the storm.’
Then wait a little while, My children, for then I will come, because it is a spiritual request, and these requests I grant at all times. But you must take the first step. You must send a brief call to My heart, and you will be amazed – and you already experience it – that I enter your sphere, that you feel My presence. Then your soul is pacified; you become calm and for a while enjoy this peace that comes over you. And in the strength and courage and love that then fill you, you go back out into the world.
I know that again and again you resolve to do this … and yet it is neglected. One has this to do and that, and then this worry comes and that thought, and suddenly the time is gone. It is wasted time, for there is nothing more important in your life than entering My presence. Everything else is subordinate to it. Carry this in your consciousness and take this quiet time, in which you feel eternity, in which you experience the immortality of your soul, which then rises within you and you feel it as a living reality: ‘I am immortal. This body I carry is only the instrument for this earthly life. I am a spirit being and not a being of flesh.’
Such thoughts then enter your consciousness, and all these thoughts help you let go of the world a little more and step back from everything that causes you worries and fears, that burdens and oppresses you. And so you advance step by step. More and more often you will then enter this divine presence, and you will be amazed and say: ‘Dear heavenly Father, why did I not do this earlier? Why did I not much more often take this time to be together with You? Only now do I recognize its value.’ So it will be and so it is, My children. Therefore keep these words in your hearts.
Yes, I spoke earlier of the deed of love. It is indeed beautiful to hear spiritual words. One takes pleasure in them; there is a certain exalted feeling, a spiritual sensation that gives one joy. And yet I say: none of this is of any use to you if you do not put it into action. And unfortunately it is often so with My children that they put on the mantle of piety, believing that they live a spiritual life because they find themselves in spiritual words and take pleasure in them.
But, My children, that is not the path you are to walk. It is solely a matter of putting into action everything you hear, of making the spiritual life a reality, so that I become alive within you through the deed you perform together with Me.
And so, My children, the time has now come: this year is a special year in the decision for the world and in the decision for My children. The separation of the spirits is becoming ever more intense. More and more, the chaff is separating from the wheat. Everything will come to a head in a certain way. And I will also speak to you within you and urge you, and you will know: ‘Now the time has come when I must leave this or that behind, when I must say farewell to these bonds, to this habit, to this addiction, even to this or that person, so that I can continue freely and unbound on the path with and toward Jesus.’
Yes, in the future I will demand more of My children. But distress will also help you toward this. The distress that will come upon this Earth will separate you still more from the world, will help you loosen yourselves still more from material thinking, from all false worldly attitudes and godless earthly activity. From all this I will loosen you so that your souls may become free in love for Me and I may fill you with My Spirit. Yes, the final steps will in many cases probably be possible only when great distress comes upon this Earth. For then, My children, the last fetters of your soul are loosened.
When the cry for help then rises from your hearts: ‘Dear God, what is happening now I can bear and live through only if I am very close to You!’ – then, when you cling to Me, My children, I can make you completely free. And then two worlds will arise: the world of death and the world of life.
To endure what is coming in suffering and death is possible only together with Me. Otherwise even you would fall away from Me and say: ‘No, dear Father, I cannot understand how You can allow such a thing!’ But together with Me, when I explain and describe to you why this happens and why that is necessary, you can endure it, and then you can remain in peace in the face of the events of the last days.
But now, My children, these are to be days of joy, and we do not want to linger on this foundation of suffering; rather, it is to be a blessed weekend. I want to give you words of love that touch you, lift up your hearts, and bring you a great step closer to Me. That is the divine plan for these days, for this time, so that you then leave this place with joyful hearts saying: ‘Dear Father, the days You have given us have filled me with Your Spirit. Now I feel a love within me that I did not feel before. Now I feel a peace within me that I did not know before.’
Yes, My children, it is within My power to give you this. For how many people are there on this Earth who come to Me and say: ‘Dear Father, here I am. I am ready; my heart is open for You.’ Oh, My children, there are not many. But you are ready. And so it shall also happen. Therefore rejoice. I bless you. My joy shall also be your joy. My love shall be your love. Amen.”
Beloved heavenly Father, thank You for Your words. Thank You that You never leave us, that You always stand by us, that You go with us even into the darkness and reach out Your hand to us when we fall. You have placed Your trust in us, and so for us this is the testimony that we will reach the goal, for otherwise You would not have called us. This is the proof and also the covenant You have made with us, for this time and beyond it into eternity. Amen.

Saturday
Jesus speaks: “Amen, My children, so I have stepped into this circle, into this community of My children, which I now wrap in the mantle of My love. And so I touch and fill your hearts with the power of love from Me in order to show you what a loving and caring Father I am to those who have set out to walk this path across this Earth together with Me; who are ready to carry their cross together with Me so that you may be prepared to receive My Spirit – not only for a short time, but the Spirit that gives you eternal life in Me, from Me, and through Me.
And so I say: many of you have already existed for endless spans of time; through aeons you have wandered both in the spiritual world and in the subtle-material world. Yet everything that has happened until now in your existence on this side and in the beyond was a preparation for what is still to come, here and now and in eternity.
Now that you have put on an earthly body and in this form have entered into service for Me, it is important that you enter the consciousness that only now does true life begin for you; that all your experiences across eternal spans of time now gather in this earthly life, in this brief and yet so important moment of your infinite existence – whatever your age, for that makes no difference, since your time lies in My hands.
And so every child of My love is placed in the space and the time it needs in order to complete its path together with Me. Thus, for you, time shall end within time. Yes, already within time I want to raise you into the consciousness of eternity, into the consciousness that you are immortal spirit beings, so that identification with the body loosens and you see the body as a necessary instrument and not as the content and pleasure of life.
Here in this room I stand as God, the Almighty – and yet as Father to My children. And so it is also in the world: a ruler over a country has many subjects and citizens who esteem and honor him and have respect for the king or the president, viewing him from a distance and unable to draw near to him. But when the president or king comes home to his wife and children, do the children see the president or king in him? No, they see the father. And whether he is king or not makes no difference to the children. They love him because he is their father – and the wife loves her husband first and only then respects him in his leadership role. And so it shall also be with you, My children. Love Me first because I am your Father, and in this recognition, in this love for Me as Father, you will also find the God within Me.
Yes, I bring My children together, not the people of the world who want to know nothing of Me. I offer Myself to them too, but they do not want Me. On the contrary, they despise and deny Me. I can give them nothing; I leave them as they are. But to you, My children, I give all that they do not want. Yes, My house is full of gifts that I would gladly distribute to all people … everything I have and am. But only a few want it, and you are those few. You have entered into this willing; you will receive My gifts and live in My love for eternity.
These, then, are My first words to you on this day, words that are to permeate you and that I lay deep in your hearts so that they remain in your consciousness, so that you can also live within these words that I speak to you from outside. Yet I also speak to you from within your hearts. At first as impulses like your own thoughts, and as you become ever stiller and withdraw more and more from the world, you will become aware of My word within you. And this too is My desire, My children: to converse with you, like two best friends, like brother and brother, like brother and sister, like Father and child. This is My divine desire.
And what joy there will then be within you when you perceive My word. Yet it is not that I then clothe the word in acoustics; rather, these are impulses from My love, it is the soul of the word that you receive. And you then clothe it with your consciousness, with your own soul, and receive it accordingly. Then My word corresponds to the structure of your soul within the unity of divine being. In the same way, those who are Mine also clothe My spirit body with their consciousness and their soul, which is why there are so many different images and views of Me. Only the soul completely permeated by My Spirit sees Me in My true form as Jesus. Amen.”

Poem from Jesus through Claudia on the occasion of the Fellowship Gathering
My children, I have turned toward you,
have sent My call of longing into your hearts.
I have laid My love deep within your hearts,
have sent and stirred Myself within your hearts,
and I have taken all of you into My heart;
now you have all come together here.
My children, I want to give you all My love,
want to draw you ever more toward My heart.
Come here to Me, let yourselves be embraced in love,
let yourselves all be wrapped in My fatherly mercy.
Yes, I have prepared your paths to this place,
have widened your heart in love for Me.
Now I stand joyfully in your midst
and address to you this heartfelt plea:
Let Me, your Jesus, live wholly within you.
Let Me give you all My love.
I took you from My heart.
Your goal is to arrive with Me again.
Hear how love speaks within your hearts.
Turn toward Me, firmly and most intimately.
Then I can fill you wholly with My love,
wrap you in My divine mercy.
My little children, always keep your gaze firmly on Me.
I am your loving Father for eternity. Amen.”

Claudia reads her letter to Jesus
Two days ago, when I was in the forest, I had the feeling that I wanted to write Jesus a letter about what is moving me inwardly right now …
“My dear Jesus, my earthly eyes do not see You. My earthly ears do not hear You. My body cannot touch You. And yet my heart senses You; yet I hear Your words within me; yet I feel Your presence with me. And, dear Father, I also see, hear, and feel You through Your creation that surrounds me – that is how I feel it. I see everything You have so wonderfully created: the animals, the plants and trees, the landscapes, the clouds, the stars … how perfectly everything functions as long as it remains within Your order.
I hear You in and through Your creation, in the sounds of nature, such as the singing of the birds, the rushing of the wind, the whispering of the little brook … I feel You in the stillness, in the quiet; I feel Your love surrounding me. There You are with me. You are always firmly within my heart.
O Father, I love this quiet time with You, at Your heart. It strengthens me when the world comes crashing down upon me again. Give me the strength to persevere and remain faithful to You. There is nothing more beautiful than knowing that You love me and that I am allowed to love You. That You draw me to Yourself and that it is also my desire simply to be with You. That You walk with me through my life and that I may give You my life.
Yes, that You are always with me and that I may always be with You. That You are always there for me and I may come to You when I am sad, when I need comfort, when I have stumbled or fallen.
Dear Father, You forgive me anew every day, even when in my foolishness I hurt You; You are always there for me. Oh Jesus, I simply lack the words to tell You how much You mean to me. But You see it in my heart, that I love You so very much. Thank You for being with me. My Jesus, I love You. Your Claudia”
Samuel: That encouraged many brothers and sisters to write Jesus a letter as well. And it really is a wonderful idea to write Jesus a very intimate, personal letter in which one tells Him everything that is occupying and burdening one’s heart.

Jesus speaks: “Yes, My children, now I speak to you again, and now I speak of distress. Not only the distress in your struggles, but a great distress will come upon this Earth, upon the entire globe. A distress that human beings have prepared for themselves, but this distress, My children, is a necessity, for distress teaches people to pray and has the power to lead them into humility. And so for some this distress will be a life ring, so that in their cries for help and their states of suffering they may still turn to Me. And for others this distress will be a staircase down into still darker regions of their soul, though not on this side of life.
And so the spirits separate ever more. More and more will be required of My children, both in giving and in letting go. And those who have bound themselves wholly to matter, who have fused their heart and their love with matter, will enter and descend ever more deeply into their misery, for they do not want My help. They love darkness, and I leave them. It is their decision.
Yet once more My call will resound across this Earth, and My word will be proclaimed, the word of the last days, which I will call out through My apostles and disciples of this end time, and through them I will shake people awake to reflection and repentance. But just as the hatch of the ark closed then, so too one day the gate into the safety of My heart will close, and then it will be too late for many.
And yet, even when the evil will already have broken over this Earth – just as it was in Noah’s time, when the water was already rising – they will continue to revel in the intoxication of their passions and in the depths of their transitory pleasures, not noticing that they are on the verge of drowning. In their earthly intoxication many will ignore the unstoppable floods of spiritual death; they will continue enjoying themselves on the luxury steamer called Earth, but it will sink and they will go down with it.
Some of you, My children, are called to proclaim this call at the proper time, then to tell people what lies ahead. And I will equip you with the power of the word so that the spirit you pass on in the word possesses the power to touch souls and hearts. I will also equip you with the healing power of My love, especially among yourselves, so that those who still suffer under bodily ailments may become free of this burden, so that they too can carry out My will unburdened by bodily suffering.
All this still lies ahead, and all this I will bring into reality through those who remain faithful to Me, who give Me their complete trust, who live surrender through to its final consequence. They will be the bearers of My Spirit, to whom I will open everything and hand everything over, and they will walk across this Earth in My will and do all that I Myself would and will do – they form My body on this Earth.
My children, I say this to you who are here in this room (and to all who read this with their hearts and love Jesus); I am addressing you, therefore be conscious of this responsibility. And as I already emphasized: the time of your death lies in My hand. I determine when you go and how, not the world. I also determine the time of the final event, and I determine the extent of the judgment regionally and globally. Therefore be free of the burden of what will happen on this Earth; be free of every burden concerning your surroundings and your families, for everything you give Me is immersed in divine perfection and, sooner or later, will be brought to completion within it.
What, then, do you still fear? But I see thoughts rising in your souls: ‘Yes, dear Father, what am I still supposed to do then? Where is the boundary between what You do for me and what I myself am to do?’ And I say: My children, united, hand in hand, we want to accomplish things. Not that you sit down and think: ‘The Father will take care of it.’ No, we must work together. It is a togetherness of God and human being.
It is certainly necessary that you still have to deal with worldly matters, whether with authorities, with school, the children, your profession – that cannot be avoided. But take Me into it; do it together with Me. Let us walk together, My children, let us work together; then they are divine deeds. Let us become a unity, individually among brothers and sisters and in the whole of My presence with and within you. Amen.”
Thank You, Father, for these words that You have laid deep within us, which can no longer be removed from our hearts, which we can contemplate and enter again and again: this Spirit of the words, this vitality of Your word within us. Thank You, Father, for all that You give us today and beyond, at every time. Amen.
Samuel’s vision: Jesus stands in the middle and holds both hands like a bowl; in this bowl a flame is burning. Our angels, who stand behind us, now go forward, reach one hand into this bowl, and each one takes a small flame from it, goes back to us, stands behind us again, and lays this flame upon our head.
This small and yet so bright flame from the hands of our heavenly Father is now visible upon our head as a sign of preparation for receiving the Holy Spirit. This flame will no longer be taken from us; it is visible in the spiritual world, just as it is also the case when Jesus goes around the circle and draws a cross on the foreheads of His children – this cross too is visible in the spiritual world. And so this was an initiation, a baptism, a preliminary baptism with His Spirit …
Jesus takes over: “Preserve this treasure that I have now given you; remain faithful to Me, prove to Me the earnestness with which you walk this path. Wrestle and struggle in the world for the quiet hours with Me, which are so important.
And so once more I bless you, lay My hands upon your heads, and permeate your hearts with the ray of My love. My children on this Earth are My joy. I leave all heavens for the children who have set out on Earth to serve Me. Through this My dwelling city is erected here and has already been erected in this time. So it is, so it shall be, and so it will be for eternity. Amen, My children, Amen.”

Sunday
Beloved heavenly Father, once more You have called us together in Your name, which is Jesus Christ and which is love. We have opened our hearts again to receive Your word, to let the Spirit of Your word enter our hearts, so that a connection arises between what goes forth from You and what is within us, and it becomes a unity …
Jesus takes over: “… and in this unity, My children, I feel at home; in this unity I am wholly Father, and in this unity I, as God, find My joy. Yes, I rejoice in My perfection, I rejoice in all those who worship Me, the angels in heaven; My creations give Me great joy, for they are perfect.
But, My children, the joy of being with you who came here into this dark valley of matter and who here in this darkness set out to seek the light … in one way or another you searched, even in distant lands; the religions there also touched you. Yet I guided your paths so that you would find Me by winding ways. Suddenly a door to Me opened for you: a book, a person who spoke of Me – that was no coincidence, you know it. It was My plan that ultimately you should come together with Me, as individuals and now here in this community, in this community of love, in this heavenly community.”
Samuel: The Father now tells me that the children of His love who were not here yesterday afternoon also receive this gift from His hand, this flame placed upon their head by the guardian spirit who also stands with us now – and the Father says:
“My children, this is a preliminary baptism; it is no guarantee of receiving the Holy Spirit, for it depends on how far you go along with Me in this preparation so that you may also receive this Spirit in fullness.
But have no fear because of what you still lack, for in your humanity you cannot walk the path all the way to the end. And is it not also said that I come to meet you more than halfway? For you this means that I add what is lacking to the child of God who follows Me in earnestness and truthfulness. Then I add what is still missing, and then the preparation and readying are such that the Spirit can come into you in all fullness and you may enter the consciousness into which My apostles were once permitted to enter, so that, sent out by Me, you may then begin your service in My Spirit and in My love. Everything you need for this and everything you must do I have already told you.
My children, you live in the confidence that every word I speak here, and indeed every word I speak at all, is always truth. Yes, as God I cannot speak words that will not be realized and that are not already realized – and so receive them in this sense. Truth touches you not at the surface but in the depth of My words. It is not the shell of the word that gives you certainty, but the Spirit in the depth of the word, which is divine vitality, gives you the certainty that My word will be fulfilled. Amen.”

“My children, My return is a great subject. In many groups and congregations of this world it is a topic of conversation. For most, however, it is theory and not reality. Many speak of it, but only a few truly believe in My return.
And, My children, there are two kinds of My return, though one of them is not really a return at all, but rather My becoming present. For I have already said it, and you can see and hear it: I have already come. I have come in the word, and the word is I Myself; I speak Myself out from within Myself to you. And so I say: Do not wait for Me, for I am here – become conscious of My presence.
Yes, I no longer leave your side. Just as your guardian spirit accompanies you through life, I am your companion, and you can invite Me into your consciousness at any time. And so, in this presence of Mine, you are to be prepared and readied precisely for what is still to come. You are the forerunners, you are the pioneers of My love. You level paths, you open doors for the people whose names I still call.
And finally I will also come in My divine power and glory. For the world that will be no festival of joy, for My stern hand must one day make a clean sweep on this Earth. The time has come; things cannot go on like this, My children. You see it yourselves; it is a tragedy. And yet I have permitted it; yes, it is a necessity in this last time, in which the gates of hell, of the demonic world, have opened. Demons are deceased evil human beings, cunning and driven souls who once lived on this Earth and who now, from the dark regions of the beyond, exert evil influence upon human beings. And some of them have incarnated once more in order to carry on their cruel activity in the service of the spirit Satan.
But you, My children, I have placed in places of protection. I have led you out of the circus of vanities and the world of pride, hatred, and lies. Yet you see: even in these places of protection you still have to struggle – and that is the preparation, for all of you are within the realm of My mercy. Know this: all suffering you still have to bear, all bodily and soul-pain to which you are exposed, will soon come to an end. For I need children who are free of every distress so that they can serve Me in this freedom, in this detachment from the body.”
Jesus continues: “Yes, and so I lead you into this time within this protected space, in this preparation in My presence. And I add this: Do not enter into an attitude of expectation about when the final events will occur and when I will stretch out My judging arm over this Earth. That only distracts you from what is to be and is now. I will come; the child must be born, every birth happens at some point … and sometimes a little later. But for you, now is the time of birth.
I hear your call: ‘My God, dear Father, please come soon, so that the evil activity on this Earth may come to an end!’ And I say: Have patience; you too still need a little time of preparation. Nevertheless, I rejoice in your calling, for it confirms your longing for truth and for My love. So now be blessed with these words of Mine. Amen.”
