Divine Revelation
My beloved brothers and sisters, I, Jesus Christ, the love within the Father, have entered your midst and raised My arms in blessing. From My hands My love flows to My human and soul brothers and sisters, and this love is at the same time My power, which opens your hearts, expands your consciousness, and prepares you for My revealed word.
You are beings from the heavens, and once again I remind you that you carry within yourselves a potential for love, wisdom, freedom, independence, courage, a sense of responsibility, and intelligence that surpasses your imagination. You possess it even now, in your human incarnation, and everything you acquire through one life or several lives is—fundamentally speaking—nothing new. For you are merely uncovering what already lies within you as your divine inheritance.
Children of God are free children, free also in the use of the divine reason given to them by the Father; free in their decisions, and therefore also able to say no and to release or reject from the outset attachments of every kind. And yet a look within reveals the many bonds you have allowed to be imposed on you—partly from ignorance, but partly also from convenience, fear, inertia, and insufficient use of your ability to think. Many are the false directions, untruths, erroneous opinions, conscious and unconscious misinterpretations, dogmas, prohibitions, and regulations of every kind with which you have been bound and continue to be bound.
But I want free sons and daughters of God, and therefore in the coming time I will lead you ever more deeply into the “logic of the heart,” which you may also call “thinking with the heart,” and which is meant to move you toward independence and personal responsibility in your decisions, so that you learn to distinguish black from white and do not walk into the many traps set by the forces of darkness.
I want you in this way to become thinkers of the heart who put into practice in daily life what has opened within them; who through the logic of the heart find wisdoms and truths they can never find in the outer world; who inwardly sense, and come to know with certainty, what is right and what is wrong, both in belief and thought and in the action that results from them; who know what accords with My divine law of love and what stands opposed to it. The latter is often woven so subtly and with such satanic cunning that at first glance, and often not even at the second or third, it cannot be recognized as untruth.
Thinkers of the heart are no longer dependent on interpretations, doctrines, and rules of belief created by human intellect, to which they previously adhered—on the basis of their own insights. Nor will they any longer succumb to the glittering seductions of self-appointed “masters” and their followers, who can bind more and more adherents to themselves only because a gap of longing and knowledge in human hearts could not be filled by your theologians and cannot be filled by the present thinking and knowledge of your scholars of Scripture.
If you wish to follow Me, I will lead you in My way ever more deeply into My divine laws, so that you—all who hear and read My word—may mature into people who take responsibility for themselves and feel committed to the law of divine love. Whoever follows Me on this path will see his faith become knowledge. In his inner being he will recognize with crystal clarity:
This is how it is, and it cannot be otherwise! It cannot be otherwise because God is love!

People who call themselves Christians or feel themselves to be Christians—whether they are members of one of the Christian churches or hear and read My words outside such a church—thereby express that they respect My teaching of love and thus step into My footprints and follow Me. But is this really so? Let Me give you an image:
Think of Me as your mountain guide. In the first phase you are full of enthusiasm and joy about the goal I have spoken to you about, which I have brought close to you in many descriptions and which is to be reached. You also know that this first phase will be followed by a second: that of decision, implementation, and practice. Followers have said yes to Me, their mountain guide. And so I walk ahead of you on the path to the summit, look back at you from time to time, and notice that only a few from the large group are still with Me. Many have fallen behind; some have not even moved from the spot. I call to you: “Where are you? You wanted to climb the mountain, did you not? You wanted to follow Me, did you not? Why are you not coming?”
There are many reasons that can cause My followers to move forward very slowly or not at all. I know them all, for I know your human faults and weaknesses. But have I not told you that I am the One who stands helpfully at your side on every stretch of the path? That I am the only One who can bring you—with absolute certainty—to the summit? Why, then, do you still hesitate, you and you and you? Why do you remain behind; why do all of you fall back?
Let us look at some of the reasons. Naturally, it is a thorn in the side of the forces of darkness when people “move” in order to follow Me in their lives. So through their pseudo-mountain-guides they introduce their own teachings, claiming that what I tell you must be interpreted. In doing so they distract from the core and thus distort My word. They adorn My life and My teaching with pleasant-sounding words, rituals, colors, sounds, images, and all kinds of surrounding trappings. In this way they create “packaging” that appeals to many people.
The mountain guide is praised, and so is the path, but the path is seldom or never walked. I, your God, am praised above all—but often that is where it ends. And many who shy away from the effort of the path fall into these traps and content themselves with remaining on the level ground and praising My name there instead of choosing the more difficult route over steep terrain. Rhapsodizing about Me, calling upon My name, and singing praises to Me in the highest tones is no substitute for the effort of the path—and it is not what it means to follow Me.

I am the love that dwells within you. I know each one through and through and know exactly what each person needs and how I can bring him safely to his goal. You know that My love is brotherly, selfless, and unconditional, in a measure you do not know. Can you not infer from this that I support you in every phase and every situation of your life? Do not fathers and mothers support their children too, with the naturalness of parental love?
There is, however, a small difference: parental love does not always see through the needs of the child and the motivation behind the child’s actions and behavior with the necessary depth. Much is supported out of misunderstood love, and instead of fostering, for example, order and diligence, the child is spared many things with the best but mistaken intentions, and disorder and inertia are the consequences.
I am the One who knows you inside and out, and My sole aim is to let you, My brother, you, My sister, again become the divine being I described at the beginning. My will is that you develop the love within you, and I will help you with this even if you do not always immediately understand everything that happens in your life. But if you believe in Me, if you trust Me, then you also know that everything ultimately serves to let you mature and grow inwardly. That is My way of supporting you.
If you are serious about your yes to Me, then come and fly into My arms and say: “Lord, I know there is no greater help, no better support. I say yes to You once again.”
Without any doubt I hear and answer your desire, if it is expressed: to want to return home as quickly as possible, including all the “work” that this brings with it; including also the revealing of the task each person has set for himself to a different degree.

Many of My human children went out to take on a task and to help the light to victory. For this they wanted to place themselves at My side. Within them the desire is awake to find their task. Yet often they search for it desperately and ask: “Father, Christ, what am I supposed to do? I so much want to be a fisher of people.”
Now consider, My brother, My sister, and you may take this as a small lesson on the “logic of the heart”: Does fulfilling a task not consist of two steps? The first step is: learn, and the second is: teach = serve. The first step is the prerequisite for being able to take the second at all.
Is it not so everywhere in your daily life? Must a teacher who, for example, teaches foreign languages not first have learned that language himself? Or must someone who teaches art history not first have become knowledgeable in that field and accumulated knowledge? Applied to your desire to find your task, this means: Very often this first step is forgotten, neglected, and skipped because you think you can serve God and fulfill your task only by instructing your neighbor. That is false proselytizing, about which I have spoken to you more than once.
Learning love is the fundamental prerequisite for truly being able to serve and teach and to take on a task that fulfills you; for in the spiritual realm love is the foundation of every action, no matter the field. Only the one who takes his steps toward Me, toward love, in sincere endeavor will be able to convey something to his neighbor that falls into his heart and bears fruit.
Whoever therefore asks to become more and more love because he wants to pass on what he has first learned will be received by heaven with open arms. For what request do I fulfill more gladly than the one that says: “I have recognized You as love, and I am aware that the same love is within me. I want to come nearer and nearer to Your love. Please help me.”
Truly, I tell you, all of heaven waits for such a request to be spoken. Once the foundation has been laid, your task will gradually reveal itself—but only then.
You have a saying: “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” For all those who long for their task, I turn your saying around and say: “When the teacher is ready, the students appear.”
So do not worry about what you promised to fulfill. It cannot be lost, for it lies within your soul and waits to be brought into the “light,” to express itself outwardly. Without any doubt, the task you chose, the task intended for you, the task suited to your abilities and that will fill you with great joy, will come to you. But remember first to lay the foundation. My promise to you: I will make sure that when the time comes, you will recognize your task.
If you are impatient; if you can hardly wait to be led to your task; if you feel driven finally to do something “for the Lord,” then try the reverse conclusion—which, incidentally, is also part of the logic of the heart: If the task, despite all your willing, does not yet reveal itself, ask yourself whether the prerequisites I have just described have already been fulfilled in and by you.
With honest examination you will have the answer unmistakably before you.

I know that some of you struggle with the great differences that arise because on the one hand you have knowledge of true life—of spiritual life—and on the other hand must watch what is taking place in matter. This brings many into inner unrest and creates tension within them. They cannot, as you say, “bring the two together.”
But I tell you, My brother, My sister, you can indeed reconcile the two. For you went into the world in order to work here. You live on and in the world, but you are not to be of this world.
Not everyone succeeds in this. Some become children of this world; others see the deficiencies and lies that emerge in politics, economics, science, and religions and direct all their efforts toward wanting at all costs to change something outwardly. They almost despair because they do not succeed, since they do not understand that every change must first take place within. Often for many years and decades a great deal of energy is spent gathering and passing on information, joining with like-minded people, becoming upset and angry about everything that is wrong and deceitful in this world—only to be confronted in the end, again and again, with one’s own helplessness.
That is not the path of a Christian. For a Christian it can, indeed must, be irrelevant under which king—figuratively speaking—he lives his Christianity.
Use your will and your strength to change yourselves inwardly. Reshape your surroundings in this way. Be watchful that you do not scatter your energies, lose your way, and imagine that the world can be improved or even saved by enlightenment and its “urgent” dissemination in all its different forms. This does not mean that you should close your eyes to what is taking place in matter. Nor does it mean declaring evil and falsehood to be good and right. Insight and communication in the proper measure: yes, and where it is appropriate and, with respect for your neighbor’s free will, also desired. But take care that your outward struggle against the injustices of this world does not take on a life of its own and become the content of your life.
If you want to demonstrate, if you want to defend yourselves, then do so through your inner strength, through your courage, through your straightforwardness, through your ability to forgive, and more. Put your energy where it bears lasting fruit: inward, for the good of your soul and for the freeing of your human self, and in this way serve as an example. Thus you will become more and more independent of the events of this world.
So above all take care to attain the kingdom of God. Pay attention to what it truly means to follow Me, and take care that the distance between Me, your mountain guide, and you does not become too great.
And if you have stumbled or fallen, then get up; do not lose yourselves in self-pity, and above all do not lose sight of your guide. Come again and again into His nearness, His radiance, His vibration of love, and in doing so grow and strengthen your inner connection with Him, the brotherly and divine connection between Me and you.
That is the path that leads back to the eternal home—free of every bond, free from fears, independent of the different interpretations of My teaching. I repeat what I have often told you: love—and nothing else!
Anchor this deeply in your heart, and recognize with the reason with which you are endowed that you need nothing other than this desire, your sincere will, and Me as your guide, your friend, your God within you.
My love envelops all who are present in the visible and invisible realms. It lays itself around your souls and your human selves as protection, and if you wish, enter this love through inner feeling and sense the strength and power of the love that I am, with which I want to bring you home and will bring you home. And if your soul, which I have touched, trembles, then allow it. It is a sign of My nearness.
Amen.
