Prayer by G. on the evening of August 11
O gracious Father in heaven, we seek You in this evening hour and we have found You and Your nearness. The way You address us as Your sons and Your daughters – I feel completely addressed personally. And so, as Your sons and Your daughters, we want to live through our days.
You awaken in all of us this strong and powerful awareness that many are watching us, that very many are around us and accompany us through these days and hours. We often invite them to come – the angels, the deceased, the beings, and all those who orient themselves in their further development and thereby support us. Up to the spirits in the highest heavens, You bless us and accompany us day by day through this time.
And so we thank You for Your nearness, and that You guide every single one and give him the deep feeling that You are very near and that we may feel You every day – the energy that flows around us and often stands directly before us in You.
So bless every single immortal soul. Let all the gifts and powers within us grow and mature as well. And we ask You, gracious Father, united with You through love in Your will, to awaken the pure Spirit of God within us. Father, with Your strength we want to unite; with the love of Your heart bless us.
All this, Father, we hold firmly in our hearts: that You bless us and that we may realize that which we now still stand before. Give us good rest – preserve and protect all those who are still on the way. There are many brothers and sisters in faith who suffer – the soul suffers, they are ill in body, they need Your help. So we unite ourselves with them. Bless them all and look graciously upon us, upon Your children of this Earth. Amen. In Jesus’ will. Amen.
Jesus speaks: “My children, that is a prayer that pleases Me. These words you spoke, My son, go out into this place, flow through the hearts of people – but from some hearts they rebound and go elsewhere. For they are words that seek a place of security, a place of redemption, a place of joy, a place of peace.
And so I have now sent My words through you, My son G., out into this world. With the strength of your soul you spoke, but I indeed placed the strength within you, this power of prayer. There is certainty in your words, which is so necessary so that prayer may also enter into realization. And so, My children, I have already told you: Pray for this Earth, pray for people in the certainty that I dwell within your prayers and that I am in the words that go forth, and that I am the One who then brings about redemption – here and there and everywhere. Amen.”

Word from the Father on the morning of August 12
“I give you My blessing. May My love be your love on this day. What does that mean for you?
Ask Me that you may look at the world with My eyes: nature, people, the path you walk as a symbol of the path of life, which rises steeply at the end. Where you need all your strength, must gather all your courage, to master this final ascent that challenges you completely once more, in order to reach this high, holy, and sublime goal: to be a true child of My love.
So let this path today be a symbol of this path for you. Walk it together with Me; I accompany you. I give you wonderful thoughts when you open your hearts to Me. And feel free to imagine that I take you by the hand, that I walk among you as I once walked among the apostles, with them around Me and their eyes always fixed upon Me: what I might say, My expression, My eyes … where I look. Everything was attentively directed toward Me and they rejoiced over every word I spoke; not only aloud, for I also spoke with them on the level of the soul. They heard My words in their hearts as thoughts, as impulses. Thus we very often conversed with one another even though outwardly it appeared as if there were silence; and yet there was vitality among us – divine vitality.
So it is also to be with you, My children: this divine vitality. Therefore pay attention to your thoughts, for they could be Mine. While hiking, make use of the quiet moments when you are not speaking with one another, but raise your hearts to Me. I am there and listen to which child may speak to Me …”
(Jesus again speaks very lovingly, intimately, and quietly.)
“What words do you say to Me, My child? How do you express the longing of your heart – toward Me? Amen.”

Evening Devotional Gathering on August 12
Beloved heavenly Father, our Jesus, we have opened our hearts wide in expectation of Your word, in joyful anticipation that this evening we may again come a little closer to You, that we may understand and grasp Your heart and Your love a little more, and the meaning of what it is to be a true child of God, a child of Your love here on this Earth, in this dark valley into which we went out of love for You.
Jesus speaks: “Yes, and it is a great joy for Me, My children, to bear witness to My love for you. For I am only love. Love expresses itself in many different ways. Love also includes that I lead My creatures along certain paths in order to bring about corrections. The law too is a part of love, a lawfulness that I placed into this creation so that ultimately everything finds its path to Me.
But for you, My children, My love means purity, the purity of My heart that I give you; truth, into which I place you. Yes, I have placed you into the ray of truth. I have led you so that you could recognize what I mean to you. I have opened My heart for you and bared My love. In this openness of My heart I now stand here in your midst and hold nothing back. I reveal Myself to you as Father. And you have recognized Me as Father.
At first you walked the path and said: ‘There is a God; there is a creation that He brought forth.’ But then I led you more deeply into this faith; I illuminated your path ever more. I led you so that you could recognize Me as your Father-God. I told you My plan with you: to recognize and love Me as your Father. You are now on this path, in this process into which I have placed you.
You went ever more deeply into faith. And for many of you, faith has already become knowledge. I have reality for you, and I am reality for you. It is no longer that you say: ‘Perhaps there is a God,’ or: ‘There is a God, but He is inaccessible and unfathomable.’
No, I led you deeper into the knowledge of God. Yes, I led you into the deepest depths of My being: into the room of My heart and My love. You have accepted this love of Mine, My children; you have declared yourselves ready to live in this love. I offered Myself to you and you accepted Me in your hearts – thus it has become a unity.
My children of this Earth, I have wrapped you in the mantle of My divinity and lead you farther along this path within the protected space of love. Yes, certain outward circumstances have also taken you out of the world. The conditions on this Earth have made clear to you the falsehood and lies that rule this world. This has shown you even more that this world is not your homeland. These are the outward circumstances. And yet, My children, there is much that you yourselves must let go without outward tribulation, which I cannot take from you but which, out of free will and love for Me, you are to leave behind of the worldly. These are often very small things that still bind you to matter.
Yes, on the one hand I say: ‘My children are not yet as far along as they could actually be.’ And on the other hand I say: ‘For many of you it is only a small step.’ Is that a discrepancy? Does it contradict itself? I say no, for often it is only little things that prevent My Spirit from taking complete possession of you. Often it is only one small step you still have to walk. But if you cling to this or that and do not let it go, then you remain behind; then it is this lagging behind in which many of you stand.
And there I say: My kingdom is not of this world. My child must open his hands, must let go of everything he clutches in earthly things, so that he can move in freedom from matter. To accept matter as a gift and the body as a temple of the soul, and to treat it accordingly, is good and right, but beyond this there are many things that bind you unnecessarily to matter. Therefore you need the light of self-knowledge. And I give you this light; I shine into your souls and into your hearts.
I send people to you who hold up a mirror to you. If you think: ‘This or that person does something that affects me negatively,’ then look within yourself, and you will recognize that in one way or another you carry the same thing within you. And often it is a magnifying glass that I hold before you so that you may find what is small within you. There you must be completely honest and sincere and truthful with yourself. Before Me you cannot hide anything anyway; I know everything – and I show it to you.
And so it is also My great desire that you can enter into this fulfillment. As God I fight and wrestle for your freedom, for your peeling away from matter. I do everything that lies within My power, always careful not to intervene in your free will. But you have the power to integrate Me into your free will, and then I can intervene. And then it can happen very quickly, as I have often emphasized, this union in love with Me, this highest goal a human being can reach on this Earth.
I have placed My trust in you. My trust testifies not only to the possibility of fulfillment but to its reality; My trust in and toward you is already the fulfillment. Therefore believe in yourselves; believe that you can walk this path to its end. Believe it firmly; together with Me everything is possible. Do not believe what people say; they do not know Me.
Therefore do everything to reach this goal. It is a unique opportunity for you. It will never return. This is the only life you have in which to reach this goal. You have already lived many lives as preparation, in preparation for this one life here on this Earth. And now you have entered into this room of redemption; now you determine your destiny.
I lead My children into stillness. In the stillness of your hearts, My children, we meet. You need these quiet hours. I say it often and again and again: Take the time and remain in this stillness. And when thoughts call you out and say, ‘I still have this and that to do!’ then do not do it, but remain with Me. And when such thoughts come again and you then want to rise because you think you can no longer bear it, then I say: Remain in the stillness, for only now, after a certain time, do the thoughts come to rest.
Then you hear My word within you – as impulses, as thoughts from My heart, which you recognize immediately when they come from Me because they are full of love. Therefore enter stillness often. Use music to bring your soul into a good disposition. But the encounter with Me needs no music. In the room of divinity there is stillness. There we meet … quietly and softly, My children. There we look into one another’s eyes. There you may contemplate Me. There I take you into My arms.
I wait for this. This is My wish and desire as Father: to take My children into My arms, to let love flow from My heart into your hearts. Something wonderful that I can give only to those who have opened their hearts completely to Me. My wish as Father, your wish as child – thus our two wishes unite into one wish, into togetherness, into unity in love. And these encounters are what move you forward very quickly if you do this daily, often even during the day. You have the time; many of you have much time. I have created free spaces for you; use them, use them better than until now. Amen.”
Samuel: Our Father, dear Jesus, these words of Yours show us what we mean to You. And they also show us the importance and necessity in which we as human beings stand upon this Earth, in which we as Your children stand upon this Earth, especially in this time that on the one hand grows ever darker, and yet for Your children it grows ever brighter in the soul. And the more we make the effort, You say, the more earnestly we walk this path, the faster it can happen, and the more we are also protected from the dangers of this world.
For there are so many dangers; there is so much falsehood that has clothed itself in the mantle of truth and love in order finally to poison people. There it is important that we have Your light, and only love for You gives us this light.
So it is something wonderful that You tell us this and communicate it to us and that You believe in us and trust us. And You have consciously placed us into this responsibility. We are therefore capable of taking on this responsibility, otherwise You would not have done it. You have placed within us everything we need for this path. And love for You opens it; step by step the treasure chest of love in our soul reveals itself and we may contemplate it together with You.
Thus You say: “My son, My daughter, look, I placed this within you; I gave you this wonderful treasure. Use it, use this love; it belongs to you. I placed it from My heart into your heart.”
And so You have placed many talents within us, dear Father. Every human being has a disposition all his own, a soul structure all his own, a personal treasure in the heart all his own, so that we complement one another and may form this Your body with the different dispositions and talents. And You also say that if we need a little more time in this time, then You give it to us; then You will postpone somewhat what will yet break over this land and this Earth. You have power for this too.
And if Your child strays from the path, then You will bring about a correction. This can be an illness; it can be pain of the soul. We know it is necessary to bring about these corrections. Yet this suffering and distress too come from the mercy of Your love. And so we can really trust You in everything, for it is always Your love. When there is distress, it comes from Your heart so that we may be led back into humility. When there is joy and when there is love, yes, then we know anyway that they come from Your heart. And so everything is always good. We can trust You in everything.
We need not worry. We need not be afraid of what happens in the world, for we belong to You. We are Your children; we have placed our lives into Your hands, and You have taken us at our word. So we can walk this path completely free and unburdened – at Your hand, at Your heart.
That is the great difference from a person who does not believe in You, who only indulges in the world. In the storms of this end time many will despair. They will no longer know what to do. They see no meaning in what happens. But we are initiated into Your plans. We know why these things must happen, for the cleansing of this earthly world is taking place now. Yet we are protected in this room of love in which we may move, at Your side, in Your presence. Thank You, Father, that You give us this – now and at all times. Amen.

August 13 – Devotional Gathering in the Evening
Samuel: Once more, Lilo and I (we are leaving this evening) may share here in this circle, in this fellowship that You have called together, dear Father, this gift from Your heart. Each person perceives this gift in a completely individual way – according to the structure of the soul, according to receptivity.
And so Your love works like the sun that shines over nature and gives life to everything on this Earth; so too Your love shines into our hearts. In a certain way we represent different flowers and plants that grow in the same soil. The soil is indeed the foundation of humility.
Yes, each of Your children is a flower illuminated by the sun of love and grows in a way all its own and unfolds its blossom in a completely individual way with corresponding fragrances.
A product of Your creation, a living product of Your love – that we may be. And so You let us grow and thrive by watering us with the water of mercy.
But there are also days of drought when we long for nourishment, for spiritual nourishment – and sometimes it comes and sometimes it does not. Through this our longing is kindled ever more; the need to receive Your love, to receive Your word, to feel Your presence, becomes ever stronger, so that we may blossom on this Earth in Your light for the people who have an eye for the beauty of love and what love means, who see what we may represent in Your presence.
Yes, and we are not only flowers; we are also trees of life and pass on to people the fruits that You offer us. The fruits You give each one of us have a flavor all their own; every fruit has a special flavor, for not every person likes every fruit, but each person has a need for this or that fruit. And so You bring people together in such a way that they are offered the fruits that suit their taste, that are important for their development. And that is Your word, which reveals itself in different ways, and that is the bread of life, and that is You.
Jesus speaks: “And so I enter this circle once more, My children, to bless you. I go around with an open heart and irradiate your soul with My love. My joy is also your joy. I am an almighty God, governing this creation, governing infinity.
But I am also present in your tears; in every drop of blood of your heart I am the vitality. In every breath I am the divine breath that moves through you.
All your longing that has become lost in this world I gather and make a bundle of it. I bundle it into a ray and direct this ray into My heart, so that your soul in its entirety may find entrance into My heart. That is My task as God. And in accordance with your effort no longer to sin, to lead a pure and conscientious life, I come toward you. Yes, often I already take your effort and your good will as the deed, and then I add the deed. I perfect your good will with My divine deed. That is My gift, that is My coming toward you at all times. Amen.”
Jesus speaks in closing: “My children, I want to express thanks to you. My thanks are for your faithfulness to Me. I express My thanks because you show Me your willingness, because you have opened your hearts to Me, because I may be your Father. For this I thank you, My children. A God too has the need to give thanks. Joy and gratitude are a unity that cannot be separated. Gratitude is contained in joy and joy is contained in gratitude – and so I am a joyful and grateful God.
I have always been grateful. To be God is something beautiful – if I may say it that way. I am God. No one created Me. I have always been and always will be, and fundamentally everything is I Myself. And yet I separated Myself from Myself – and that is you. I have My joy in this: that I have placed you into this independence, into this freedom, into this absolute freedom in which you may live. And that you give this freedom back to Me in love – that is My joy, and for this I thank you. Amen.”
