Meeting of November 8, 2008, in Würzburg
Divine Revelation
When a child asks Me to show him his task, it touches My loving Father’s heart [the Lord spoke these words in response to a prayer, but they applied and still apply to everyone]. For it is My desire that My children—all My children—consciously awaken in spirit after recognizing who they truly are, that they set out on the way back to My heart, and that along this path the question arises within them: “Father, what is my task on this earth? Where can I be there for You and for my neighbor?”
That is the moment, My beloved, when I tenderly take My child into My arms and say: “You have found your way to Me. Now trust that I will show you the task you set yourself to fulfill. Trust that I will prepare the ways for you, and be certain that I will call you, that I will call so loudly that your heart cannot possibly fail to hear My call.”
Every child will one day reach this point, and all who are here in this circle—and beyond you infinitely many of My children throughout the world—have resolved to enter matter in order to help their brothers and sisters, to be an example to them, to fulfill a task tailored to them and corresponding to their abilities and possibilities.
What could be more beautiful for a Father’s heart than when a child comes and says: “Father, I have recognized You. My longing is growing. What can I do?” I tell you: “Blessing upon blessing flows to My child.” And it joins the company of those among My sheep who have already walked a stretch of the way with Me.
I am the Good Shepherd; I will bring all My sheep home. And those who are from Me will be the first to hear My voice. But I also go after the others. They cannot and will not remain deaf forever. My love belongs to them too, and I call them as well.
You went out to help Me with this task. Your yes, which you gave in heaven and which many of you have already renewed more than once in full surrender, makes you fellow fighters. But it also places upon you the responsibility to walk the way you chose and thereby become examples.
If you want to help lead My sheep who are still in darkness, you must know the way that leads them to green and luminous pastures. You must be ready to descend into ravines, to walk dangerous paths as well, to face hostility, but borne by the love in your heart and by the desire to be there for your neighbor.
Are you ready to go into the densest thicket? Perhaps to pick up a few scratches yourselves? Is your love already great enough that I can send you out into the world as helpers? I know: in your hearts you carry this love. The human self, however, is sometimes a little sluggish. But, My dear ones, it can be overcome—with My strength.
And then you go out and call and find. I call through you. I call My children in whose hearts I still see their love burning, but who have allowed themselves to be bound; who were of good will and still are of good will; who have been lulled to sleep, and many of whom not only feel unfree but have also allowed themselves to be made unfree.
“Do you hear Me, My child? Am I still getting through to you?” I call into you, and even though I speak in the singular, I mean all My sheep whom I want to lead back to My pastures:
“Remember who you are! Open your inner eyes and see the help that wants to be given to you! Free yourself from what you have allowed to be imposed upon you! Cast off your fears! I am not a God who frightens! I am a God of love and freedom!”
I call you and you and you: “Turn around, look into the light, and come into freedom. And forget everything you have learned in past years in interpretations and explanations about Me, who am unconditional love, when it paints an image of Me that does not correspond to reality. For I am more loving, more understanding, more forgiving, but also eternally more unchanging, more powerful, and more just than any human mouth could ever portray Me.”
And so through you I call into the darkness, into the ravines and the thicket. And I stand there, spread My arms wide, and wait for My children who awaken spiritually from the sleep into which they have temporarily fallen, so that I may press them to My heart; and you help Me in this.
Then the time of lamentation and fear, distress and lack of freedom comes to an end. For when you again rest at My heart, you will recognize what it means to have a loving Father who never left you; who, as the Good Shepherd, will never stop calling you, and who in you, My beloved, has many helpers at His side.
In this way, you who hear and read My word, after taking steps on the way to Me, slowly grow out of the role of the student and step into the teacher’s footsteps. At the same time you still remain students, because your consciousness will continue to unfold more and more; yet in the areas you have mastered and unfolded within yourselves, you can already be teachers to those who are waiting for you.
Then there will be no question that you who love Me descend with Me into the depths so that I and you may bring My brothers and sisters and yours into the light—those who want to be brought. But the others too will awaken. Since they also have free will, however, I will only call them and continually send them My energy of love. They themselves determine the time of their turning back.
All of you who have given Me your yes and will give Me your yes rest at My heart. Streams upon streams of blessing I let flow to you for our common task of leading all the sheep to the one Shepherd. Amen.
Divine Revelation
Truly, great is the affliction among My own, great is their distress. Not only inwardly but also in their outward lives, infinitely many of My creatures—including the world of animals, the world of plants and minerals—experience the heaviness of this time.
Who, My beloved, is the cause? It is those among My children who have lost sight of Me and banished Me from their hearts, and who lead a life opposed to My all-embracing, eternal law, whose recognition and fulfillment are the meaning and goal of the life of every soul and every human being. The fundamental essence of My law is pure love.
Nevertheless, take heart: everything is sheltered in Me. Everything that happens—however negative and contrary it may be—can always have only one goal: to let My children awaken and experience that the only thing that matters is to turn back, increasingly renounce all outward things, and recognize Me as the only way that leads out of all distress and tribulation.
See, all of you know that what your eyes behold, what you perceive around you, what happens in your world and in your time, can take place only because the human being has not chosen Me as the center of his life, but because other things are more important to him. And yet, My beloved, think of your own paths; look back. Was it not precisely this path that led each one of you for long stretches of life through sorrow and hardship, but that finally—perhaps precisely because of this—allowed you to find your way here? From this you can recognize that whatever evil happens outwardly, the deeper meaning is always only one: to let My child awaken and, through realization, lead it onto the way back to My heart.
Thus even in the most painful path through life recognize My mercy and grace and My love, which never leaves one of its children alone.
See, the depth of your being is nothing but love, for I, your Father, who am love, endowed you with My love so that you may recognize it in your life, consciously become this love once more, and learn to draw from this treasure of your innermost being in every situation and toward everyone you meet.
So cultivate love, My sons and daughters: cultivate love for Me, but also love for yourselves and for your neighbor. Acknowledge the path behind you and also the path you still have to walk, which leads you to Me all the more quickly when you are willing and take My hand. For if you do not recognize love and blessing within and around you and in your own path through life, how can you love Me? How can you love your neighbor, to whom it happens just as it does to you? How can you help him if you do not become an expression of My love?
I repeat: this is the meaning of your path, and this is the purpose with which you came here to this planet. And this too is the plan, My beloved, that together—as you put it—we “forged.”
So do not be afraid, for I am with you every day, every hour, and every moment of your life. And therefore: as it was in the past and as it is in the present, so it will also be in the future. Be aware of this, My beloved children. And whoever among you does not yet carry within himself the awareness that I am your companion should strive for it every day. For I am the One who knows your distress and also what comfort, support, and help you need in order steadily to approach the goal.
I want to be the conscious center of your life; for truly, I tell you: beside this there is no other!
My love is with you and remains among you. Amen.
