Divine Revelation
From the eternal light I greet My children, My sons and daughters, and I am in your midst. You jokingly asked whether I might already be here. I tell you: “I have been with each one of you from eternity.” And I bless My own who gather in My Spirit and exchange thoughts about divine truth, so that the depths of their souls may begin to shine and what all of you came here to fulfill may be filled with divine consciousness.
Know, then, that My light enfolds you, that My love flows through you, that My Spirit accompanies you from eternity to eternity, whether you walk as spiritual beings or across this earth, as is now the case.
Truly, I tell you, in terms of visible heads you are few, but countless brothers and sisters surround you, those from the realms of purification and those from heaven as well; for wherever I, your Lord and God, raise My word, there My children gather.
Continue your time together in this awareness that I am very close to you. Pray, oh pray, My children, for the power of love is needed in so many places, not only on this earth. For love is light, and truly, darkness can be softened only by this light of love and ultimately transformed again into the pure primal substance underlying everything I have created.
My love accompanies you, and My blessing fills each one of you with light. Remain connected with Me, your Lord and God, My beloved children. Amen.
Prayer
Beloved, Eternal, Holy One, You who are our Father, preserve us from ever regarding as something to be taken for granted the closeness to You that we have just felt and still feel, or Your immediate word. Countless people in the world would consider themselves infinitely blessed; they would undertake long journeys if they were allowed to experience something like this.
From one moment to the next You are here, speak to us, draw us to Your heart, and lead us into Your infinite truth, so that we recognize: There is no separation! The here and now, the spiritual world, above all You—everything is one, eternally connected, and only because of the limitation of our consciousness is it imperceptible to us most of the time.
Preserve us from passing too quickly over the fact that You are closer to us than our arms and legs. These are holy moments that open and touch our hearts, and as Your children, full of reverence and gratitude, we bow our heads before You and Your infinite love. Amen.
Divine Revelation
Truly, truly, My beloved, your world is burning, and the hearts of many people are filled with fear and despair. They cling to many a straw that promises them security. But I tell you: “Security exists only in Me! Outside Me no one will find true and lasting security!”
Security in Me, however, also means that a person strives to live within the security of My law of love. If he does not do this, he steps outside My security and is subject to the laws of the world and to his own laws. But the moment I can reach him through an impulse or an event and he begins to reflect, decide, and turn back, the security of My law of love can receive him again.
What, then, does it mean to live within My law? I want to lead you a little deeper into these truths so that each one—if he wishes—can recognize for himself to what extent he already lives in and with My law.
My children stand at widely differing levels of soul development. Many reject Me; they do not believe in Me. They believe in themselves, in chance, in human possibilities, and thus they live within their own law, by which they are then guided.
Many of My children, however, have taken the step into faith in Me. But is faith alone enough to know the laws of love and live them? In many cases they have joined together in religious communities. As you yourselves know, belonging to a community is no guarantee that its followers or members live in security and find the way to heaven. One can belong, feel comfortable in a community—and nevertheless forget Me in daily life.
Others again, who feel Me in their hearts and whose love for Me has broken forth, join together not only to read the Bible or hear sermons or sing spiritual songs, but to do something: whether outwardly in service of love, for example to the poor and sick, or inwardly by meeting in so-called prayer circles, as you have done today.
Beyond this, there are a number of mostly small groups throughout the world in which I am alive, in which I raise My word and instruct My own directly from My Spirit, as I did in early Christianity and as happens, among other places, here in your circle.
Those who hear My word are then no longer dependent on traditions that are two thousand years old, nor on various interpretations by people of different levels of consciousness. No; directly from Me, the eternal Spirit of life, they receive enlightenment, instruction, and guidance for practical application.
Have you ever asked yourselves why I raise My word in such circles? Do I do this merely to “entertain” My children? Or do I intend something special by it? Do I have a purpose, a goal? You know the answer: I am love, and love has one single desire, which will be fulfilled because it is My will—to bring back to itself everything that has fallen, and to prepare, strengthen, and bring to realization all those who promised to help in this, so that they may make the right decisions for their lives.
Thus it is not merely a matter of hearing My word, but of becoming and being doers of this word. This applies especially when it is not merely a matter of general uplifting addresses and encouraging words, but of very concrete instructions for life, as I give you here as well. You are to be doers, which means allowing My revealed word to become effective in your life. It means applying My truths where you have been placed.
My children often believe that they already do this, at least as far as their understanding and possibilities allow. Often this is indeed so, but just as often one person or another is subject to self-deception. Therefore I want to give you a few forms of help that can enable you to recognize how serious your effort truly is.
My words are never accusatory or reproachful, as you know; I always speak them with the intention of fostering your self-knowledge, opening each person’s eyes to whether his love for Me and his effort are great enough. If this is the case, you will always feel the joy connected with this realization. If in looking at yourselves you discover that here or there something can still be improved, you may become a little sad about yourselves. But then decide, and then come to Me. As a fundamental rule everywhere, not only for hearers and readers of My word: whoever accumulates spiritual knowledge—perhaps even over many years—has thereby taken upon himself the obligation to put this knowledge into practice.
If you want to know to what extent your effort is borne by an honest decision, I ask you to work with what you call the reverse conclusion. I will give you an example:
If you decide to walk a certain distance, then when you pause and look around, you must be at a different point from the one where you began. Whether that distance is large or small is beside the point. But from it you can recognize that you have “moved.” If, however, when you look around, you still see the same things, stand in the same place, and have the same surroundings before you, you can tell yourselves a hundred times, “But I did move”—the facts speak another language.
And now let us apply this example to your daily life. Whoever has walked the way with Me must have changed. Much in his life must have changed toward what is positive. And so that this does not remain abstract, let us become very practical.
Look into the areas of your patience, including patience with yourselves. Look into the areas of your punctuality, order, and reliability. Look at what things and people you are still dependent upon. Look also at where worries and fears still dwell, where unwanted emotions still control you. If these areas—and many others—have largely become lighter, then together we have already traveled a good stretch of the way.
If you discover that there is still quite a bit that bothers you about yourselves, that there are traits and patterns of behavior with which you have struggled for a long time; if you find hiding places into which you do not like to look because perhaps you shy away from the effort of having to make a change there, or because you are afraid of what you may encounter—then come to Me.
For I came into the world to be a help to My human children, a help they can apply in their lives! I did not come merely to move them to believe in Me; I came to open their hearts so that they learn to love Me—and themselves!
If you decide to walk the way with Me a little more intensely in the future, then look to see whether your motive is love; and take care that fear, pressure, compulsion, or misunderstood “prohibitions,” which I do not issue anyway, are not what drives you. There is only one true motive that promises lasting change—and not merely promises it, but brings it: striving for change out of love for Me, your Father. When this love burns in your heart, you will do everything you can to look also into the areas you have perhaps excluded until now. With My help you will then begin to love yourselves as well.
You and you and you, My child—do you already love yourself? Just as you are at this moment—with the faults and weaknesses you still have? Or are you still dissatisfied with yourself? Come to Me and lay your worries and distress before Me; for by doing so you at the same time acknowledge that you know about these things and that you accept Me as your helper. Through this you grow into a new life. You no longer pass too hastily over the many impulses the day brings you. You begin to question yourself, and if your questioning is sincere, My child, then I tell you: “You will receive the answer, directly or indirectly.”
If you accept it and say, “Yes, Father, that is the point; I thank You,” then I stand at your side with all My strength to move you to “move” in this point as well. And when you then look back—in a few weeks, a few months—you will find that your inner landscape has become different. That is a sure sign that something has happened within you and with you.
The goal that lies before each one of My children is freedom. For I am freedom, and to all My children, everywhere in the world and also in this city, I call:
“Come into freedom. Remember who you are. Recognize what has happened, what you have allowed. Recognize your dependencies and your fears. Be honest with yourselves, and forgive those who bound you. For they could do so only because—for whatever reasons—you allowed it to happen.”
Somewhere, everyone who allows himself to be bound has weaknesses in his soul. These weaknesses have been exploited. But now I call you into freedom, and I radiate toward you all the light and all the help you need.
I tell you: “Lay aside your fears about your existence and your worries about what your future may look like.”
I am the One who holds your future in His hands if you give it to Me! I am security, the only security for each one of you. And this security, if you wish it, enfolds each person in an unimaginable love. This love knows ways out of every personal dilemma, ways the human being cannot imagine. So come, My beloved, come into your freedom! —
Even though My words were very serious, you know that they are borne by My love and that My word addressed to you serves solely to move each one to take his steps. Whether and to what degree, each person determines for himself. Remember one more thing, My beloved, so that not even the smallest spark of fear enters into your actions:
Whenever and however a child decides, nothing will ever change in My love for it or in My readiness to help. Amen.
Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, the time of your gathering has passed, but the traces you leave behind endure. The light that went out and continues to go out from you, and that has been and is strengthened by Me, the Eternal One, does good works.
I tell you, your world is staggering; but I want you to know that you stand on solid ground, and that solid ground is Me. Whoever is not yet firmly rooted and anchored in Me, My beloved, should strive to put down his inner roots in Me more and more, for—as I told you—today this or that may still mean security to a person and make him believe he can still hold or cling to it. But I tell you, this time will pass, and it will become increasingly evident that security exists nowhere except in Me alone, your God and Father.
Therefore turn your inner being away from transient outward things, distance yourselves from the foolish activity of the world, and recognize where you still give deception and error power over you. Then free and release yourselves from them, for what could they offer you? Find in your inner silence the calm and peace you need to pass through the time ahead. For which one of you could convey peace and love to his neighbor without first having developed within himself peace, silence, calm, serenity, and love?
How this path is to be walked, My beloved, I have told you, and I will not cease revealing Myself again and again about it. For I long for you, and I show you the way. I speak about the way, and I walk at your side; and whoever is and remains in Me has many messengers of light walking at his side as well, and he need fear nothing.
I love you, My sons, My daughters. Therefore once more: do not be afraid, and rejoice even if the reward for all you do and give is not immediately visible. Know nonetheless that it waits for you in your eternal home. Suffering and pain, all worries and all distress come to an end, but the reward, My faithful ones, endures eternally.
I am who I am from eternity to eternity, and you are My children from eternity to eternity. Amen.
