Divine Revelation
My sons and daughters, whoever still goes through the world with closed eyes cannot and does not want to recognize that the statement made for many years that it is “five minutes to twelve” is no longer true. Whoever has already opened his eyes—even if only a little—now senses or knows that the hand has already passed twelve.
With this the negative forces have reached one of their partial goals, namely preparing the ground for chaos, unrest, and catastrophes of every kind. At the same time they do everything they can to create the impression that things are not nearly as bad as the many warners repeatedly proclaim. And in order not to let people think, in your time they offer more distractions, superficial pleasures, and pastimes than ever before. For this they make extremely skillful use of your technological progress. This makes it difficult for many to recognize the temptations often only laboriously concealed within it and to resist them.
For this reason My human children in great numbers fall into the traps that have been set and all too willingly allow themselves to be numbed. In this way they can continue to keep their eyes closed and give themselves over to the illusion that everything is not really as tragic as it is always portrayed. And if perhaps there might nevertheless be something to it, then one should not waste the time with fears and worries but enjoy it to the fullest until the last minute.
Truly, I tell you, whoever cannot bring himself to interpret the signs of the times correctly has, to use your words, “a poor hand” in the “game” that has already begun. Only, this is not a game, but a more than serious situation that I did not bring about, but that arose solely through the unlawful conduct of a large part of humanity over a period extending across many centuries and millennia.
When I tell you that no energy is ever lost,1) you do indeed hear this, but only in the rarest cases does it cause you to reflect on what this means in practice both in your personal life and in the coexistence of nations. Every inner feeling, every thought, every word, and every action is energy. Energy, however, cannot be destroyed; it can only be transformed. This happened and still happens—where it is a matter of transforming a higher frequency into a lower one—through the opposing forces. The consequences are visible and known.
But energy can just as well be raised in its vibration, namely through the universal remedy that is not only called love but in its highest and purest form is My constantly outpouring, life-sustaining, all-transforming power. When such a process is set in motion by human beings, it is indeed triggered outwardly, but it becomes effective in the subtle realm and then once again shows its positive fruits outwardly.
Over a long period darkness has worked toward the point now taking shape. It made its preparations and put its plan into practice step by step. Many of your brothers and sisters from the purely spiritual heavens have tried through their incarnations to counter the forces that have continually allowed evil to flow into the world. Finally I Myself came into the world and brought love, which I taught and lived before you.
But while I respect the free will of My children and thereby accept that My word may not be put into practice, darkness acts ruthlessly and cunningly: It twists the gift of free will into the absurd by inciting you to do everything you want and whatever you feel like doing—while concealing from you the serious second side of your “coin of freedom,” which says: You must bear the consequences of your unlawful actions. Sooner or later they will come upon you.
The time ahead will challenge you. You can behave like the ostrich that puts its head in the sand and believes that in this way it will escape unharmed. This will help you only temporarily, or not at all. Or you can believe in the spiritual laws I reveal to you and consciously concern yourselves with your future, both earthly and spiritual. If you wish to do this, then ask yourself: Do I already know my place? Have I already taken it, or am I at least striving to do so? Or am I still a plaything of forces to which I am as helplessly exposed as a bird when the storm begins?
*
If, then, the most mistaken thing is to close your eyes and ears in order in this way to repress the darkness taking shape on the horizon, what is the right thing to do? You know the answer, for it lies so plainly before you that you cannot overlook it. It is this:
Entrust yourselves more than before to My guidance—not in theory but in practice; and truly, seriously use the instrument of inner work that has been given to you in the many small and large situations of your everyday life. The consequence is that you bring about a change of character and at the same time increase the powers of your soul. In this way you enter a higher soul-vibration; and then the spiritual principle takes effect that what vibrates lower cannot penetrate what vibrates higher. This means that My law can guide you more directly and securely because through your decision consciously to follow Me you gradually move out of the law of sowing and reaping. Otherwise your life is determined to a greater or lesser degree by what you call “fate.”
But most of you already know this.
Inner work is the heart of the way to Me. Every being that once left the heavens—whether because of the Fall or by free, selfless decision in order to help—will sooner or later have to walk this path, which means: it must set to “work,” something frowned upon by all who lack insight and not always easy even for those who do have insight. But there is no point concealing the fact that change means work. How easy or difficult this is for the individual depends, on the one hand, on how strongly he desires to change his own conduct and, on the other, on the way he approaches dismantling old and building new patterns of behavior. And most important of all: whether he includes Me in his decision and his actions or not.
When I raise My word—not only here and not only now—in order with the necessary seriousness to point to what is coming and to the need to prepare inwardly, this repeatedly awakens fear in many of My children; even in those who know about their eternal existence, about their indestructible individual life. From a human perspective such a reaction can indeed be explained, but the farther a person advances on his way to Me, the more he will recognize himself as a spiritual creature whose home is with Me. Accordingly his longing and his joy for his true freedom, which lies “beyond the veil,” will also grow; while at the same time he accepts the necessity of his earthly life and makes use of the possibilities for learning here on earth.
Your fears of the future and of everything unknown will diminish to the degree that you rest within yourselves and therefore in Me, by allowing Me, as I once put it, “to determine the rhythm of your life.” All those whose surrender to Me has grown and continues to grow experience this.
It would be completely wrong, out of fear of one day not “getting into heaven,” to take a path dictated to you by the intellect and by false thinking about security. What is not decided and put into practice from the insight that the way to My heart must be walked out of love for Me, for your neighbor, and for yourselves has no permanence. I gave you this commandment, the essence of everything written and spoken, as Jesus of Nazareth. It applies to your inner feelings, thinking, speaking, and acting, therefore to your whole life—without exception and for everyone. And nothing other than love, even if at the beginning it is still small, has lasting substance as the foundation for your desire to change.
And even when at the beginning of your path the desire, the will, and the enthusiasm were there, the danger always exists that “the momentum levels off” and in this way an unnoticed stagnation sets in. Or you are too hesitant; you move along well-worn tracks, which likewise amounts to standing still.
A deep, mutual relationship that cannot be attacked, that unites both hearts inseparably, is always built upon pure, selfless love. Such a relationship existed, consciously experienced and lived by you, when you were still with Me. Since I live within you, in principle nothing about this has changed. Only your human self has temporarily placed itself in between. It must now be convinced that the better, simpler, less troublesome, and less painful way is to reactivate our relationship to such a degree and in such a manner that I, who am the strong and unconquerable life within you, through your free decision once again gain the upper hand and can thus become the guide of your human self and your soul.
The love I ask of you and long for I have expressed toward you again and again; in most cases you did not notice or heed it. And yet it was always My power—for no other lives within you—that helped you or preserved you from worse; but it was also My power that led you into situations necessary for the growth of your human self and the maturing of your soul. In most cases, however, you did not recognize or understand My setting of the course and My working. Yet a later look back often showed you that everything life presented to you as a learning process was nevertheless good. As a learning process, not as a test by Me.
At the lowest point of the Fall I offered Myself for My beloved creation as a “sacrifice,” as you often express it. It was the path of redemption by which I made the return home possible for all who had left the heavens: figuratively speaking, I unlocked again the gates to your eternal home. And—this is something scarcely known and therefore included by only the very few in their daily effort—I placed an additional energy of love in your heart, My redemptive or Christ-energy, with which you can come into contact at any time. This fact, the knowledge of it, and above all the intensive “working” with this power, which is unconditionally and selflessly available to you at all times, is the central point of inner work altogether.
If you now decide, or have already decided, to walk the way of love at My hand, then you also know that it is a matter of bringing about change; for if you want to reach a point different from the one at which you presently stand, that is possible only if you move. And movement is change.
This is also how the commandment of love I gave you as Jesus of Nazareth is to be understood. To love someone or something you were not previously capable of loving always means decision, change, movement; in the end it is work, even if people do not like to say and hear this with such clarity.
Whoever does not want this and believes that belonging to a religious community, observing church commandments, participating in sacred acts, practicing techniques, or studying various religious writings is sufficient to draw nearer to heaven or even attain it will have to discover that he has fallen into error. Such an approach is not movement in the sense of an inner transformation of one’s nature, but represents only, and at best, a “cosmetic correction.”
Real movement or change, however, is indispensable, for whoever wishes to enter heaven must carry heaven within. That is what the law of attraction says. Externalities and the accumulation of knowledge do not open the inner heaven to you.

When, awakened by My Spirit, the desire breaks forth in a soul to look deeper and learn more than in the past, the human being begins to search. It is entirely normal, often even necessary, for him to come into contact with various faiths and ideologies, to read much, ask questions, and discuss. According to the nature of his soul, shaped not least by previous lives, the person gathers his information, tests it—consciously or unconsciously—for its harmony with what he inwardly feels, and then walks for a shorter or longer stretch along the path he considers right, the path that at that moment suits him.
All these paths are allowed by Me; every human being is where, according to his consciousness, he has found his place for the moment. For I know that ultimately all paths end at My heart, though not in the form in which they first appeared and were walked.
Your path too will end with Me, precisely because My love irresistibly draws your love to itself. And because along this stretch of the way all your own ideas will fall away, until ultimately nothing remains but the one important commandment, the one conduct that leads to the goal: love—and nothing else.
Whoever has arrived at the deep conviction that I live within him as the one power, and whoever beyond this has recognized Me as the One for whom all things are possible, also knows that no other teacher and no other teaching can give him more than what I can give him. This does not mean that much good is not taught elsewhere as well. Nor does it mean there are not many people who walk the way of love and proclaim divine truths. But it does mean: You will find nothing, no matter how long you search, how far you travel, or how many “holy” men and women you visit, that you could not also find with Me or that I am not ready to give you—directly, that is, in direct communication, without your having to take detours through other people.
There is, however, one small qualification: Through your yes to Me you must do your share of the “work,” which compared with what I do for you is vanishingly small.
If now and then you are nevertheless drawn to the “little smith” even though you have the “Master Smith” within you, then occasionally allow the question to arise within you whether you have truly recognized Me as the One I am! And another question: Why did you not find with Me what you are now seeking outside Me and outside yourselves? But precisely when you search elsewhere, you will not find what your soul truly needs.
I am not a jealous God, for I know I will not lose you. You will return to Me in every case! My admonition concerns solely your well-being, for I do not want you to make things difficult for yourselves and perhaps tread water.
I keep no one from doing what he considers right. I only remind those among you who believe that two or more paths can permanently be combined that everything in My creation rests upon the two pillars of energy and communication.
With everything you do—from inner feeling all the way to action—you enter into communication with like or similar energies, which then act upon you. The highest energies you can receive come from My infinite source of love. They work in and upon all people who have decided to walk the path of Christ. How strongly they can work depends on your earnestness and surrender.
All other energies, especially those of the esoteric paths that have become fashionable, but also those of the countless Christian communities, have a different energy potential. It differs from the redeeming power of Christ especially when—as, among others, in Eastern teachings—My redemption is not acknowledged; which says nothing about the honest and serious effort of such teachers to love their neighbor and creation.
The freedom I have given you allows you to walk every path you wish, without this affecting My love for you. But take care that you do not scatter yourselves; that you do not “pick the raisins” here and there merely as it suits you. Otherwise you resemble a person who chooses two or more guides who prefer different travel routes. At first that may still be without difficulty; it may even help you make a decision for the path corresponding to your present development.
But it will lead to stagnation on your path. In the worst case it may happen that you lose your inner footing. For in the long run you cannot serve two masters at the same time. If you nevertheless try, you will not reach your goal.
*
Alongside negligence and distraction, traveling on several tracks is one of the great dangers for those who have entered into following Me or intend to do so: an unnoticed stagnation, quietly and secretly brought about because the forces are not gathered and directed toward one goal. And without the opposing side having to bring out the heavy artillery of various temptations, it prevents in this way a steadily progressing inner development.
When I speak of “steadily progressing,” this does not mean there are no periods of rest at My hand and under My guidance, no phases that build you up, and no joys that strengthen you. Quite the opposite: You will grow powerfully into an inner fullness, into a security and freedom you did not know before.
Because quite a lot has already happened in many who have chosen the path of Christ—“love, and nothing else”—there is always the danger that they become accustomed to the new, easier life and then stand still. After all, fears are already fading more and more, worries have lessened, the first weaknesses of character have been transformed with My help into strengths, many a crooked path has been straightened, new friendships have been formed, and much more. Thus it seems to be a “fine thing” in which one has taken an interest and which one now practices.
But that is only a fraction of what is possible for Me in and through you—if you wish and allow it!
Rejoice over what has already changed toward the positive, My beloved. But also be clear that these are only the first small successes of your decision and your steps. Again and again I see the little faith in the hearts of My children, who have not yet truly grasped what treasure they carry within, who do not yet know the greatness of My power of love because they still do not have the courage to entrust themselves to it fully and completely.
You do not yet know how strong I am within you! You do not yet know how strong you yourselves truly are because of this! Through your hesitation, your passivity, and your often lacking courage you limit yourselves!
If you are skeptical of My words, remember what you know about early Christianity: the spirit of new beginnings, the courage, the enthusiasm, the lived faith, the loving life together, and My power with which I could flow through My own, so that through My male and female disciples the only true religion—a life in inner connection with Me—was able to spread, even though it was later infiltrated, altered, and paralyzed by darkness.
In a security, in a certainty such as prevailed then and was repeatedly nourished by experiences made with Me, there was no room for fearful thoughts when dark clouds appeared on the horizon. That applies today just as it did then. But this security, My sons and daughters, is something you must “work for” through your decision and the effort that follows; and yet it is given to you as a gift, which is no contradiction, because My love comes infinitely many steps toward you when you take the first ones—which is required by your free will.
Yet it is not only a matter of looking into an unknown future free of worry and full of trust, but also of My being able, for everyone who gives Me his yes and expresses it through his effort, to set the switches so that the train of his destiny takes different tracks from those originally provided by the law of cause and effect.
I once said that true Christianity is more than a Sunday stroll on which one meets only nice people and greets them kindly. Christianity, taken seriously, means movement, change, work. I have placed the necessary equipment in your hands through many revelations, and I will do so again and again until I have softened even the last heart still lacking insight and grown hard.
If you wish, if your love for Me and for your brothers and sisters has already grown and you want out of love to contribute your part, then stand at My side. Then end stagnation and lukewarmness, and let us show and prove to the world that love is the strongest force—regardless of what takes shape and happens outwardly.
For this I lower My power of love into every willing and open heart as an additional incentive to renew your yes.
Amen
