Samuel: Jesus first wants to speak a word of greeting. He stands here in the middle, has spread His hands over us, and blesses every one of us.
Jesus speaks: “Amen. My kingdom is not of this world – with these words I go through this land. And I have gone through this land to awaken the dead in the graves of the flesh, to touch those who sleep, whom I have shaken in part through distress, in part touched through love, so that they may awaken into My word, which I have spread over this land and which I now spread here in this room.
The word that is filled with light and love and truth and that I Myself am. I Myself am the Word, the Spirit of the Word, which now touches your hearts in their depth so that you may recognize that I am a God of love. And that I am a God who has only one thing in mind: to lead this fallen creation back into the light – as a whole and every single one of My children. Thus I have come to touch My sons and daughters, to take them by the hand, to touch their hearts, and then to lead them into My heart, into My love forever.
Two thousand years ago I came to this Earth to reveal My teaching. To show people what they are to do so that they may see the path I have prepared, and which they can walk in the light of My love. The ground of this path is called humility – humility and surrender to Me, within which lies trust in Me that I am a God of love and not a punishing or condemning God, but that My desire and My will are redemption, liberation, and making all My children blissful in eternity.
I alone am the Redeemer. I alone can free you from every burden, from every distress, from all sadness and from the darkness that has now spread over this Earth. Falsehood and lies rule this world, but around you I have erected a protected space in which you are together with Me, so that the lie can no longer seize you. I have placed you into the light of truth. I place all My children into the light of truth who are earnest, who walk this path in truthfulness, who do not drag Me along beside the world but are ready to make sacrifices for Me.
This is the only path, this narrow and steep path out of the world: to let go of the things that bind you to matter so that you are free and unburdened, for only then can you love Me, My children. The freedom of love needs freedom from care, needs joy, and that exists only with Me. Worldly joy also gives satisfaction for a moment, and yet it carries death within it. But the joy you find in My presence carries life within it, eternal life.
And when one day you have entered your spiritual homeland and in looking back consider the times in which you overcame, in which you did not become angry with this or that person but remained in love; when you forgave in love and patience someone who did you no good, who insulted you, deceived and lied to you, or did violence to you; or the times in which you no longer pursued this or that worldly pleasure – including sexual pleasure – but said: ‘My love is to be pure in the Spirit and not be drawn down and bound to the realm of matter,’ My children, these are the important and decisive moments in your life.
When you one day look back upon these acts of overcoming, you will be filled with joy. Cheerfully you will then say: ‘Thank You, Father, that You carried me in those moments, that You gave me the strength to remain faithful to You in love.’
My children, these moments decide between life and death. To remain in love, to forgive together with Me, to overcome, also to be courageous and say: ‘No, I will not take the path people take, the path this world takes. I take the path together with my Jesus into the kingdom that is not of this world.’ My children, these are the most important moments in your life. There I take you by the hand; there I take you seriously, in this faithfulness to Me.
For these moments of yours I died. Into these moments I placed My redemption – and into these moments I placed My resurrection. Therefore, every time such a situation comes, when you find yourselves in such a decisive room of time, remember these words of Mine: your decision has validity for eternity. Amen, My children. These are My words of greeting. Serious words, loving words, divine words. Amen.”

Samuel bears witness: Before my awakening I was dependent on alcohol, smoked two or three packs of cigarettes a day, lived only in sexual intoxication, was in a street gang; there was much criminal activity among us, and we often had dealings with the police. Then, through separation from a woman, I was plunged into deep suffering. This heartbreak knocked me from my throne and led me into a deep depression. When I was so utterly broken – this went on for many months – I prayed out of an impulse: ‘Dear God, if You really exist, then I want to see You, but as You truly are and not what people have made of You.’
At first nothing happened. But one evening, when the pain of my soul was so strong that I could hardly bear it anymore, suddenly the breast of my soul opened; in the pain it virtually broke open, and from within a wave of light and love flowed forth like a bubbling spring and filled my whole being through and through. I was permeated by the divine Spirit. That was my initiation. God touched me in that moment and set me on the path to Him.
Thus I was led ever more deeply into spiritual life, into this commission that God gave and assigned to me: to proclaim His word, but also to work prophetically, to tell people that this is now a decisive time for every individual human being and for the world as a whole, that it is the time of transformation, that His return for the world lies ahead, but that for His children He has already come. We may already live in His presence; we only need to recognize it.
Then I understood that one truly must put away everything that stands between oneself and Jesus. There must no longer be any barrier, any dividing wall between us and our heavenly Father. And when we then speak this sentence, ‘Jesus, my love and my life,’ something very special happens. For only when one has made all the rooms of the soul free for His love does He have the power to fill the soul completely. Then there is nothing left holding Him back. Then He has the power to fill us entirely with His Spirit.
He wants to lead us into this process of complete letting go, and He has led us into it. That is why He repeatedly speaks these serious words: “My children, it is very important that you leave the things that still bind you to the world. For I have called and appointed you to serve Me in this time upon this Earth. And you can do that only when you are completely free for Me. If you want to serve two masters, Me and the world, then I cannot use you in the way I have intended for you in this time.”
But time is pressing as well, for everything can change very quickly. The Father says: “From one day to the next, everything will be different.” Many conveniences will suddenly fall away. It may be that tomorrow money is worth nothing, that the Internet no longer works, that everything collapses; war may come … natural disasters. Everything can change very quickly. Then we need this firm support in Jesus Christ, so that we truly live in this security: ‘I am His child. My life belongs to Him alone.’
He also says again and again that this earthly life is the most important moment of our entire existence, this moment of eternity. We were created aeons ago, billions of years ago. Countless ages have passed during which we have already existed – and now we have been led into this incarnation, into this decisive time. One must recognize the importance and necessity of walking this path consistently and truthfully. This decides not only our future on this side, but above all our life in the beyond. Our present way of living and loving has far-reaching consequences for our eternal existence; of this we should be aware.
A brother asks about sexual abstinence …
Samuel: Yes, it is indeed so that sexual intercourse should be carried out only in order to make it possible for a soul to be conceived into an earthly body. The children of God whom the Father has touched know this. Men in particular have difficulty with this, because as a rule there is more sexual drive in them than in women. Then it is often the case that someone constantly feels guilty because he or she cannot let go of the desire of the flesh and is addicted to the sexual act or to pornography. Often it is a process over years in which one struggles for chastity and purity.
One must know this: God does not punish any person if that person cannot free himself from sexual pleasure or another addiction. Feelings of guilt, self-accusation, and self-pity are created by the person himself when he believes there is a punishing God. But a person who has been touched by the heavenly Father lives in His love and mercy. The Father will never condemn His child; He accompanies the child in falling and rising again. He is with His child and does not leave him; yes, He enters into the sin of His child so that the child is not lost in it, and He comforts him at all times upon awakening from sin.
What, then, is the actual problem of earthly pleasure, not only sexual pleasure but every kind of excessive earthly self-gratification? In it the soul binds itself to matter. The more one enters into the flesh or into material thinking, the more the soul unites with matter, indeed virtually merges with the material body, with transience and death. To dissolve this merging again in such a way that a proper departure from the body can take place requires suffering and pain; usually it is an illness in old age. Even so, after death parts of the soul remain bound in the flesh and must be redeemed over long periods of time. The greater the love for matter, the more prolonged and difficult the becoming-free in the beyond.
A soul can continue its path in the beyond, or reach its spiritual homeland, only when all earthly and material bonds have become free and been redeemed. If one already makes oneself free for Jesus’ love during earthly life, the path in the beyond is quickly traveled, and much pain of liberation and purification is spared.
It is therefore not God’s punishment that causes suffering, but one’s own burying oneself in material death through deep earthly pleasure and addiction. At the same time, the heavenly Father does everything in His power to stand by His child, to raise him again and again, and to bear witness to His love for him.

Jesus speaks: “To that I say My Amen, for surrender to My love is the greatest thing a human being can do on this Earth. To say: ‘My Father, may Your will be done; I offer You my life.’ And to that I say: My child, then I offer you My life. Just as you give Me your life in the many facets and details of your earthly existence, so I give you My life in all its divine facets and details. For that is the goal of every human being: to become divine in My love. For this I called this creation into existence, so that I might raise children for Myself who carry within themselves everything that I Myself am and have. That is the meaning and purpose of this creation as a whole and in each individual.
Before I created you, you were already contained within Me, as it were like embryos – in unconsciousness. I had not yet thought you into living being; rather, you slept in My innermost being, you were inanimate divine thoughts. Then I placed within you My power of will, love, wisdom, and truth, and you began to move within Me; you awakened within My consciousness and recognized yourselves as children of love, truth, and life. Full of bliss and joy, you could move within Me, for there is only an within Me; there is no outside of Me. And so you became alive through and through and rejoiced in your divinity through eternities.
And finally I set you free; I gave you free will and separated you from the determination of My will. I gave you the possibility of moving outside My will, yet still with My power of love and life, with My light. Thus you became independent of Me in your willing. This gave you the possibility of creating your own worlds of thought that did not conform to My divinity. For you had and have the freedom to distance yourselves from Me – spiritually, of course, for it is a spiritual universe, a spiritual creation in which you live.
And so it happened that a part of My creatures moved farther and farther away from Me and their consciousness grew cold, losing light and love in self-will and pride. And so, as you know, My children, from and out of this rigidity of the fallen spirits I formed this universe, this material creation, which is now being led back into divine existence. And its heart-center is this Earth, which I chose in order to form children of My heart for eternity.
For this I created a first human pair, Adam and Eve. First Adam, and from him I set forth his love in the form of a beautiful woman, so that he might have a counterpart whom he could love, a reciprocal love, a perfect complement in love as two beings. Through them humanity was called into life, which now passes through these ages.
But now a time has come in which there will be a great transformation upon this Earth. I announced it two thousand years ago and said that I would return and establish My kingdom of peace and love. Thus this Earth will then enter into this kingdom of peace for a long time. And so it will continue on and on until finally all matter has been redeemed.
And here I say: Just as at the beginning of humanity there was one married couple, Adam and Eve, so at the end of the times of this Earth there will again be only one pair upon this Earth – one woman and one man. In the end they will be the only people to inhabit this Earth. Then I will first call the woman to leave this Earth. After that only one man will stand upon this Earth, a last Adam, who will close the circle of humanity. And when I then call him, the cycle of this Earth will be completed and everything will have dissolved into the spiritual.
And because this Earth is the source of impulses for the Human of Creation who traverses infinity, the entire material creation will soon thereafter also enter into the Spirit. (The spiritual Earth will first continue to be the spiritual source of impulses for the material creation until this creation in its entirety enters into the Spirit of God; and finally this Earth will find its place forever in the heart of the great and eternal Human of Creation.)
Then only one will remain: a spirit who will resist entering My love until the very end. But he too will one day return; he too will be led into humility, this great spirit Lucifer, to whom I once gave all the light that I Myself bore and bear within Me.
Then, My children, it is accomplished. This period of creation will then be at an end, with the result that I have gathered around Me many children who can act independently and divinely in eternity. Then together with Me you will call new creations into life, create innumerable worlds from your own divine consciousness, and it will be something wonderful that cannot be put into words.
Yes, and then you will look back upon this earthly life of yours and recognize its importance and what it means and has meant that now and here you were permitted to put on a body in order to attain being children of God. This great wonder of this creation: to be a true child of God. For this is not created with My omnipotence, but is raised through My patience and love in the freedom of your will.
That is My great joy as heavenly Father and My bliss: to gather children of My love around Me, with whom I will have fellowship in eternity. I have prepared this for you. Consider it, keep it: You are gods in the truest sense of the word – but still in training for it. Amen.”

“My children, now I have also opened the doors into the realm beyond, so that countless beings from the light may stream in, and so that those deceased souls who have already set out toward the light may share in this circle. And so My light also shines out into the darkness, into the hearts of those who move in darkness, who are not yet ready to walk the path of love. And yet I also place a divine seed within them, a spark from My heart.
Yes, I once placed this within them, but they pressed it deeply back into their souls, so that this light no longer touches them and they no longer have a conscience and live in falsehood and lies and also in malice. Yet My grace reaches far, and so this ray of light from My heart will now revive this spark … a small flickering of the flame in their hearts, to give them the possibility of turning around. For they too are one day to stand within divine redemption. Originally they too were spirits full of light and love, but they took a wrong path, were seduced, and lost their way in the labyrinth of their thoughts.
And the other souls, who have already set out on the path to Me into the light, now share in My word so that their faith may be strengthened, so that they may feel within themselves the power of love and will to continue walking this path, and so that they may now come to know Me more closely and recognize Me as a God of love who stretches out His arms to them as well and says: ‘Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened. For you too I went to the cross; I shed My blood for all who are in distress and in sin.’ These souls cannot see Me, but they hear My words. They echo within them, and a small awakening takes place.
And so My word also goes out into the world on this side in this land, and the light of love spreads over this land of the Netherlands. A land of humility it is to be; the name Netherlands also bears this meaning, for I have chosen this land too. It is a part of My heart, just as Germany and the neighboring countries belong to My heart. And you who are here, you who are citizens of this land, and also those who have traveled here – all of you are called by Me; and chosen are those who, out of free will, out of the love of their hearts, give themselves entirely to Me.
And so in your calling you actually choose yourselves, My children. I do not say: ‘You are chosen, and you, or you.’ Rather, your surrender and love for Me determine the further process and the leading into a task for Me and the invitation to the wedding feast – into being chosen. That lies entirely with you; that is the free will into which you have been placed. There is no compulsion; everything is free. In love everything is easy. To be chosen for love is something wonderful. To belong to love and already on this Earth, in this darkness, to be permitted to move in this room of love into which I have placed you. At all times this love from Me flows into you. You need only recognize it. Amen.”

Samuel: This week I received a revelation from Jesus, which I will now read aloud:
“As the human being Jesus, I, as almighty God, experienced what it means to be subject to human weaknesses, imperfection, and satanic burden. As the Son of Man Jesus, I went deeply into the sin of this Earth, more deeply than any human being before Me. I took upon Myself satanic pride; I placed Myself into the raging current of time so that impatience seized Me; I placed unbridled lust of the flesh within Myself; pride gnawed at Me, and know-it-all arrogance.
All this and much more I drew over the purity and perfection of My divinity and love, in order to feel distress and death in the confinement of the body of an earthly human being. Thus I humbled My divine majesty and placed it into sin, in order to lift guilt and sin into the light of love. And in order, in the struggle to overcome all this abysmal godlessness, already to cast spiritual anchors into those places where I went after the crucifixion, so as to halt the fall of creation there, initiate the return of everything fallen, and bind hell to heaven, so that grace and mercy might work even in the deepest darkness.
By this path of fallen humanity, up to My thirtieth year of life, in the struggle with the sinful and satanic powers, I was able to give My mercy the necessary depth, power, and authority required to forgive all sin in understanding of the severe earthly struggles of My children – even though I Myself did not succumb, but emerged from the struggles as victor, so that finally I became again a whole God in the unity of spirit and soul and thereafter, and eternally, also as body in the God-person Jesus Christ, who I am and will be forever.” (The Word made flesh)
* * *
Jesus speaks: “My children, I spoke before of the spirits who left My heavens and became lost in the depths of godlessness. But it was only a part of the angels who went astray; the greater part remained with Me. They remained bound within My will and moved within it, and still move within it today in this their divinity.
Now it is so that every one of these must once walk the path through matter; every high angel must once step out of the commanded worship into the humbling lowlands of matter … into forgetfulness, in order to find Me anew in the love of his heart. There are countless ones who will and must still walk this path, so that they too may one day return home to the Father’s house as free children of My love. You cannot imagine what spans of time will still pass until their number, which cannot be named, is fulfilled.
I Myself did indeed go into matter. Why did I do that? There are many reasons for My becoming human. One of them is that here too I prepared the way beforehand. For had I not gone ahead as God, then all these spirits who dwell in the heavens in worshipful love would have said:
‘God, Father, it is easy for You to talk. You send us into matter, into the death of forgetfulness, but You Yourself are here in Your heaven and do not know this distress. You have not experienced it Yourself and do not experience what it means to enter this dangerous darkness.’
Yes, My children, that too is a reason for My becoming human. I showed the way. I showed all beings that it can be done and how it can be done. I Myself entered it and went ahead, so that all who come after Me can walk this path as well.
And when one day you have returned home to the Father’s house, My children, you will continually gain new realizations from this My becoming human. New rooms of understanding will continually open to you, and within them new doors will open again, and you will enter new realizations again, merely concerning My becoming human, for My doing is infinite.
And so it continues ever onward in the wisdom of love. Yet this is not learning for you, but becoming conscious. Everything you may recognize in the spiritual homeland will become a part of you yourselves. It is a certain automatic process that passes into you from My divinity. And so you will grow and mature into eternity and gain ever more wisdom and love at My side. And yet, when in billions of years you have grown in wisdom and love together with Me, this knowledge will be nothing in the infinity of My wisdom. But for you it will be much and will become ever more, yet you will never reach an end, for I am the infinite God.
I am present everywhere in infinity at the same time. Without end, without beginning, and omnipresent – in time and space and without time and space at once. That is My being, that is My consciousness. And you too carry this divine consciousness within you, this infinite room: if you move spiritually within your soul, you will never come to an end, for there is none. You are My children; everything that is within Me is also within you: infinity – though not graspable all at once by you as it is by Me. But as you advance, you will understand and recognize ever more of the infinity of My being within you.
Such words are intended only for My children. Only to you who give Me your trust, who have longing for My word, can I give this. And I cannot trumpet the promise of My love out into the world either. These things are a certain intimacy between you and Me, My son, My daughter. Just as a father or mother communicates much more to his or her children and tells them things that would not be told to strangers. So too do I as God with My children.
And how do you recognize the measure of your being My children? How can you recognize your spiritual progress in this time? There is a very simple means of recognizing where you stand spiritually:
If the feeling of immortality has already taken root within you, not in the intellect but in the consciousness of the soul, then you are already filled with My Spirit to a certain degree. And if you feel the consciousness of immortality within you with penetrating vitality, then you are already very near Me, My children; then I have already awakened and risen within you. For I alone am immortal. The immortality you feel within you is I within you. Therefore examine yourselves in this way as well.
If you still fear the death of the flesh, then you lack love for Me. But when the thought arises within you: ‘My Father, I am already looking forward to my spiritual homeland. I would gladly leave this Earth and be with You. My longing has become so great. I know I will not die, but will live eternally at Your side,’ then, My child, I have already spread My arms wide toward you and opened My heart wide to receive you and embrace you with My love forever. Therefore do not fear the death of the body.
You can also pray: ‘O Father, when one day my time has come, then I ask You to lead and accompany me into the spiritual world, that You then reach out Your hand to me and receive me and carry me across. And even if pains must still cleanse me beforehand, then it is an act of Your mercy. For those whom You love, You test and cleanse of all the dirt of this Earth.’
That too is a gift, My children, a gift of My love: to prepare you in such a way that the path in the beyond is short or no longer exists at all. All these are spiritual realities that you can exchange for the apparent realities, the apparent knowledge, and the falsehoods of this world. Enter into this divine knowledge, into this other world of which I spoke at the beginning today: My kingdom is not of this world. Enter into the world of My word and My love. That is your home, My children. Amen.”
* * *
Jesus specifically invites intercession: “My children, in every devotional gathering I am ready to take into My heart your worries and your intercessions for a person whom you love, who is close to you. You do not need to speak these petitions aloud here now in this large circle, but do so in your thoughts. You may now hand these intercessions to Me, whether for a family member, a good friend, someone in your extended family who is ill and suffering – whoever it may be … a deceased person … someone who took his own life. There is so much distress on this side and in the beyond.
My children, when you bring Me a petition, do so in the faith that it will happen – in a certain time, perhaps immediately … perhaps later. The measure of your faithfulness in love determines the measure of My divine power within you and through you.
That is why I once said to Peter: ‘You are a rock in faith.’ Everything he spoke in My name was certainty for him. In everything he spoke lay for him the certainty of fulfillment. He was one hundred percent conscious and certain of My cause. This made it possible for Me to reveal divine power in his life. For whatever he asked Me, whether in laying hands on a person or in intercession for someone, all of it was already realization for him within the petition. You too should have this faith, My children. Amen.”
* * *
Samuel: The children of God on this Earth form the body of Jesus. We are the body of Jesus Christ, and every part of this body has a different task. But all together, many fellowships and congregations that stand in right faith, complement one another in their particular consciousness, in their shared soul structure. And so there is one part that forms the arms of Jesus: giving. There is one part that more embodies the legs of Jesus: carrying the spiritual messages onward. The mouth: proclamation of the Gospel. The divine intellect: this part is grounded more in divine wisdom, and so on. And there are the heart-children, who carry everything within themselves because they give life to the body; they are the life and love of Jesus Christ, taken from His heart. One can assume that those to whom the Father reveals His heart in a special depth of love were taken from His heart and will return into His heart.
Thus we realize His return. But He will also come in His personal being to those who love Him very much. He will encounter them in the resurrection body already here on this Earth. The people of this world will not see Him, but we will, when our longing has become so strong that it has become love. And then, when we sit together again as we do now, it will be so that we may all see Him. In these little islands of light He will then visibly manifest Himself in His resurrection body as well.
But there is also the problem that some souls would burst their bodies if Jesus stood before them; they could no longer continue to exist on Earth, because their love for Him would not allow it. Therefore He cannot show Himself to everyone and must hold back. So whether one sees Jesus or not is not a measure of spiritual maturity. It depends chiefly on the kind of preparation and on the structure of the soul.
* * *
Jesus speaks in closing: “My children, once more I speak words from My heart to you. My heart is through and through gentleness, goodness, and love. To My children I am a God of tenderness, a God of care and compassion. So I am, so I was, and so I will always be. Love, love, love. Into this love I have bound and enfolded you, taken you out of the current of time for this one day. And yet, when you return into time, you are to take this eternal moment with you, so that time may be a little less time and you may feel a little more eternity within yourselves, and also immortality.
Oh, if only I could show all people My love. I have so much love to give. But who wants it? Therefore I have prepared everything for you. I give you all that the world does not want. You who have declared yourselves ready to accept this gift from My heart, I will shower you with love, and joy and gratitude will fill you. I will lead you into a security beyond this world and a peace that the world does not know and never will know.
But your will decides this, My children. I have shown you the path; I have prepared it; I illuminate it. The ground of this path is called humility and surrender. I have spread My arms wide; I have opened My heart wide and with My love I kindle your longing ever more strongly. The flame of longing within you will touch places you do not yet know. And then it is very important, My children, that you direct toward Me the longing that awakens even where it is still directed toward the world. For there is always the danger that longing becomes addiction on this Earth. Yet I have already oriented your souls toward Me. You need only remain in this faithfulness to Me. Then all will be well. Amen.”
