Divine Revelation

The infinite love that I am is in your midst. I spread this mantle of My love, My mercy, and goodness over and around you. So feel it, and let it lead you inward and downward into your inner depths, into the temple of primal light that each one of you carries within from eternity to eternity.

This, My beloved sons and daughters, is a consecrated hour, a holy hour. Oh, if only you could see what is happening around you. Your human self feels itself among a few people in this enclosed room, but I tell you: in spirit this room has no boundaries; no walls surround you! This room reaches into the infinity surrounding you, filled with countless beings who are with you—beings of light, but also those from the realms of souls who have come to hear My word, to reflect, to turn away from the world, and to direct their steps toward home.

Remain in this solemn, holy awareness of your Father’s presence, just as I remain with you, listening to your conversations and at the same time guiding them. The indwelling eternal Spirit knows each one of you, longs for each one of you, longs for every single step you—if you wish—can take toward Me, your God and Father.

Thus this hour is blessed, and so is each one of you. Feel that it is I, the great love of infinity, who touches you. Amen.

Divine Revelation

My beloved sons and daughters, I take your prayers, which were radiated toward Me from your open, loving hearts, as an occasion to let you look more deeply into what is happening in this time, so that you may also recognize your role in it and know where your contribution lies in changing the world for the better; what, therefore, you can do as My messengers of light to stand effectively against darkness.

Never before in the history of humanity has the struggle waged by the forces of darkness against the light been carried on with harsher means than is happening now. And I tell you: this is not yet the end.

There is much knowledge in the world, but it is urgently time to put this knowledge into practice in daily life. Especially over the course of recent years I have given you, My human children, background information so that you may recognize and understand the connections ever better; for if this does not happen and you do not understand what kind of piece you are in the game, then you are like a leaf in the wind. That is why My words lead you ever deeper.

A spiritual being that leaves heaven knows that it is entering the domain of the forces of darkness. It is instructed about what awaits it, and despite all dangers the desire is there to stand on the side of the light and help the light to victory—a victory whose goal is not the destruction of fallen beings but bringing them home into the light.

Yet despite all preparation in the spiritual worlds, the reality a soul encounters in matter looks completely different. It is and remains a child of My love, but it is wrapped in coverings of the soul—that is, faults and weaknesses—and clothed in a human body. Everything that came before is covered over, even though the flame of love and longing burns within it.

From the point of view of the opposing forces, the struggle taking place in matter has the goal of binding as many of My children as possible, robbing them of energy, making them stumble and trip, and if possible causing them to fall. Most of My human children are blind and deaf, as though they were to awaken in a foreign country without knowing the language, without knowing what has happened to them, dependent in their first years on the help of strangers. Most know nothing of the fact that an eternal, holy, inextinguishable light burns within them. They live in matter, perceive their environment through their five senses, and allow themselves to be shaped through and by them. It is their senses that connect them with their world—with what they believe to be reality. The opposing side makes use of this.

Everything they believe, everything they think they know, all the experiences they have had and all that has become part of their thinking and acting—all this they have received through their senses, and it has left its imprint on their character, their behavior, and finally their soul.

The forces of darkness believe they have an advantage over the light because they address people directly from outside—that is, through their senses. The inner world—his own inner world—is something the human being usually does not know. But the true, unsurpassable advantage is Mine: for I am the power within the human being, and at the same time not only dark but also luminous forces act upon him from the spiritual realm, and countless angels stand at the side of My children.

Your senses therefore deceive you because you regard what you see as reality. The much more intense and important life takes place in the invisible realm—around you. As I already told you: this room is filled with luminous beings and with souls who long to be led into the light. If for one moment you could look into this reality, you would have a comparison and would know what is truly happening around you. For the decisive things, as I said, take place in realms that are imperceptible to you.

This invisible world is continually around you, and you likewise move continually within it without being aware of it. And this is precisely what makes it dangerous. Each side, both the light and the dark, strives from the beginning to draw a human child to its side. How do those who are against Me and against you proceed? How can their intentions be recognized, and how and with what can one oppose them?

I ask you for one moment—do not be alarmed—to place yourselves in thought on the opposing side. Nothing can happen to you, for you are protected. How would you proceed—remember, you are invisible and therefore run no risk of being recognized—in order to weaken a person, seduce him, or win him for your purposes? Quite concretely: what would you—what would you have to—do in order to act successfully “against yourselves”? You do not know? I tell you: those who intend to harm you know very well!

From the invisible realm, each one has, at least to some degree, the ability to see and recognize the faults and weaknesses, inclinations and interests of those he wants to attack. You would therefore not have to proceed blindly; you would choose your victims and attack them precisely at the points where they are already weakened or not yet strong enough. No skilled commander would proceed differently. And believe Me: the methods of darkness are arranged far more subtly than you can imagine.

The person being attacked has no idea that forces are at work around him making use of his weaknesses, working very deliberately, for example, to support an inclination toward power; intensifying your jealousy, envy, and greed; feeding your thoughts of revenge and making clear to you why it is not you who must forgive, but the other person—and much more besides. The seducers thus make use of the faults and weaknesses you still carry within you. This is their preferred method of attack. And they deliberately direct their attacks against My messengers of light as well, for they in particular can become most dangerous to them when they grow strong in Me.

Once more: the opposing side knows your weak points. If you want to defend yourselves successfully, you will now understand why self-knowledge comes first—must come first—when a positive change is to be initiated through you and within you. Difficulties you have because you fell into dark traps can then even become a help on your path, if and because through them you can recognize at what point you let the seducer into your house.

The opposing side does everything it can to prevent a child from awakening and growing in My Spirit. But to the same degree that darkness acts upon My children, the countless helpers—your guardian angels—do so as well, and of course I am the power within the human being that again and again knocks at his inner being. According to a person’s interests and inclinations, his love and selfless desires, according therefore to what he carries in his soul, it is possible for Me to guide him step by step so that he can free himself and develop toward what is good. To the same degree this is also possible for the opposing side, which deliberately addresses what is still negative within him.

There is, however, one difference: I respect your free will, and therefore the steps taken toward the light and the good are very often so small. The opposing side does not respect your free will. Wherever—figuratively speaking—a door stands open even a crack, it goes in and intensifies, for example, your fears; it intensifies your disorder, your unpunctuality, your sluggishness, and your inconsistency. It confirms you in the belief that as human beings you are something and should count for something. And the seed sown by darkness then comes up when you give way to what still lies “unsettled” within you, so that like attracts like and correspondingly strengthens what is already there.

You have now been deprived of the illusion that you are alone when you see no other person and that only what you perceive is around you. You now recognize the danger of spending twenty-four hours a day oriented toward matter. You knew about this before, but reality in matter is nevertheless quite different.

If you allow yourselves to be taken captive by what darkness offers you, scarcely any time remains to go inward and listen to and look at what I offer you. Do you understand what is happening? Darkness plays with your fears, for example with your fears about your existence, which make you run in the desire to obtain more in matter than you actually need. Then it becomes very difficult to hear My voice within you, saying: “My child, you are My son, My daughter. Come to your senses. You went out to serve love. Free yourself from and out of what you have allowed to be put upon you. Close your eyes and ears, close your thoughts to all the whisperings darkness gives you in order to keep you from following the voice of your longing. I have prepared everything you need.” And whoever begins to serve the law of love is served by the law!

This, My beloved, is how things are on earth, and in this time they are especially severe. That is why My words must often be serious, and why I speak about these things: to give My children help, to make clear to them that although they are attacked, they also possess through Me, who live within everyone, an exceedingly powerful potential within themselves, and in addition countless invisible friends and helpers stand at their side. When this realization dawns in a person, he will find the way to Me, and he will walk it. He will become and be light for those around him, and much of what you have prayed for and asked Me to do will be done by the human being. Through what he does he will send out love. He will be comfort; through his strong trust he will be an example. And thus the weak and wavering, the grieving and despairing, can find what they need—if you are ready, through work on yourselves, to become light in this dark time. Amen.

Divine Revelation

My beloved sons and daughters, the consecrated hour is drawing to its close, and I, your Lord and God, want to tell you: “I am pleased with you. I am pleased with every one of My children that strives to let Me lead it toward love.” M

I had told you that there is no boundary between here and there; the boundary is formed only by your human organ of sight. There is only an interweaving with all that is, a never-being-separated from what you perceive and what you do not perceive. Everything, My children, is unity, and beside the unity in Me, the primal ground, there is nothing—regardless of whether awareness of being one has awakened in My children or not.

Many of your brothers and sisters who were present among you have been allowed to recognize what next step stands before them. Inwardly they were allowed to experience that I, merciful love, that I, the wisdom of heaven, that I, eternal truth, extend My hand to them. And truly: they too extended their hand to Me.

The power that also went out from you, My faithful ones, and was strengthened by Me helped them to recognize and turn away, to leave behind everything that was and turn toward the light that previously they had not been able to recognize.

So take heart, My beloved; you are not powerless. Recognize the great power that I am within you and through you. Strength, wisdom, truth, mercy, and healing flow through you, and the light from your hearts shines through darkness no matter where it has spread.

I tell you: “Go into the coming time with trust, go in the awareness of surrender to Me and with the love that I am within your heart; yes, be firmly anchored in it.” Then I can and will also show you how you should deal wisely and well with what comes upon you in outward life.

You are blessed, and through you I want to bless many more; be aware of this. I am your Father, love that eternally gives itself away. You too give away what is granted to you from Me in every moment of your life.

I give you this request to take with you on your way. Amen.
