Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, all human beings and souls carry within themselves the desire for freedom, and this is because they themselves are freedom, though they do not know it. They are freedom in the innermost core of their spiritual being, because everything that has come forth from Me received, alongside the gift of free will, the gift of unrestricted freedom—its inheritance, which for all eternity makes all of them sovereign and independent creatures. It could not be otherwise, because My love, which created everything, does not bind. Everything that binds is of demonic origin or is subject to demonic influences.
The fact that the great majority of people nevertheless do not feel free—even though a largely carefree life often gives some of them that impression—is due to a false image of God that has been conveyed for more than two thousand years and is still conveyed, with the consequence of a severe restriction of independent, responsible thinking, which constitutes a limitation of consciousness and includes ignorance and inexperience. But this, combined with a lack of drive to look behind things, is the best prerequisite for lasting stagnation.
Stagnation is regression when and because My creation develops without interruption. And not only that: sooner or later stagnation brings problems and difficulties with it, because in this way the commandment to love God and one’s neighbor cannot be lived in the long term. Spiritually, stagnation means that there is the possibility, indeed the likelihood, that the soul cannot free itself from the wheel of rebirth and therefore cannot, or can only with great difficulty, find its way out of the cycle of life in the beyond and life on this side. This is undoubtedly in the interest of the forces of darkness, which try to bind human beings to matter and their souls to the astral realms in order to prevent their ascent into brighter worlds with the goal of returning home to Me. For everything that remains within their sphere of influence strengthens their power.
I came into the world in Jesus of Nazareth in order to prevent the destruction that the opposing forces were seeking and that was becoming apparent. This took place through My redemption on Golgotha, though that is not the subject here. Before that, through My life and the teaching of love I placed into human hands an instrument with which they could end their stagnation, their spiritual regression, and begin an “upward movement” of soul and spirit.
Humanity had reached a point characterized by all kinds of ideas: what or how God is, how He governs His creation, how one must behave toward Him in order to keep Him favorably disposed and not anger Him, how many lesser gods there may be, what awaits the human being after so-called death, and much more. All were views inspired in some form from the spiritual realm, but into all of them—under the influence of negative forces—human opinions and ways of thinking had flowed.
Yet the all-decisive element was missing from all worldviews and ideologies: selfless and unconditional love. But precisely this is indispensable for a successful return of souls to their home, and it must be learned and put into practice in daily life.
Therefore I intervened, prepared My incarnation over centuries with the help of many of My faithful ones, and at the birth of the boy Jesus entered matter as Spirit; an entirely normal process, as takes place with every incarnation.
I taught the law of love and lived it out to its ultimate consequence.

The rage and outcry in the satanic worlds were unimaginably great for you when My adversaries gradually had to recognize—as far as their consciousness permitted—that they would not be able to emerge victorious from this conflict. They had nothing comparable to set against the power of love. Love, which created and sustains the infinitely great and vast invisible and visible universe, is the unconquerable power that nevertheless bends down to every creature, however small, that helps, serves, rescues, and never loses patience.
Use the logic of your heart: Did darkness then give up? Bow its head in remorse? Set out on the path of making amends? A look at your world gives you the answer.
From its point of view, once acknowledging its guilt was not an option, there was only one path, the one it had followed from the beginning: to continue the struggle, even though in the long run it cannot be won. In this way, however, it could and can at least maintain its “status quo” for a while longer—even if this means many eons. But for what it does it constantly needs energy that it does not receive from Me for its contrary actions. This compels it to seek “suppliers of energy,” which it finds exclusively among human beings and souls. This, however, requires uninterrupted activity: on the one hand, obtaining energy through seduction, deception, and cunning; on the other hand, constantly being on guard so that it does not lose its vassals when, in recognizing their wrongdoing, they endeavor to fulfill My commandment of love.
I have described this background to you in somewhat greater detail in order to awaken and sharpen your awareness that every human being is constantly situated within a field of tension, that he is, so to speak, a plaything of many forces that concern themselves with him from birth to death. Light and darkness are continually at work influencing human beings.
This should give you courage and strengthen your trust when you think of your heavenly helpers and spiritual companions who have been placed at your side. But it should also move you to reflect on the extent to which you can be—and are—influenced when you know yourselves little or not at all and thus offer negative forces points of entry for reinforcing loveless behavior or setting a temptation before you with the aim of hindering or preventing the development of your soul.
As a rule, you do not notice these dark influences. That makes them doubly dangerous; and ignorance of the fact that they are very real and very present—and are not waiting for you abstractly somewhere as a “devil in hell”—makes it enormously easier for them literally to run riot on the “battlefield Earth.”
When I decided to make it possible for My wayward children to return home, the inward distance between those who had fallen and their heavenly home had become so great that they no longer knew, even in outline, the one and only decisive criterion for drawing nearer again to their former bliss and therefore did not recognize the importance of this criterion: the necessity of living love!
As with a small child taking its first intellectual steps, I had to begin by teaching what was basic before I could go somewhat deeper into explaining My commandments. That is why I spoke so often in parables. This way of teaching was adapted to the understanding of that time and could be received and taken to heart by those who were willing. But figuratively speaking it was no more than the “basic multiplication tables,” because anything more would have overwhelmed people. The commandment to love one’s enemies alone met with head-shaking and rejection among many, and this has not changed to this day. How much less would they have understood if I had explained spiritual connections and background to them, explained details of My laws, or given them insight into the structure and evolution of My creation!
In many cases, therefore, as Jesus I limited Myself to bringing close to My brothers and sisters many examples in the form of images, and I summarized the essence of My universal teaching, valid for all human beings and souls, in the commandment to love God with all one’s heart and one’s neighbor as oneself.
Observing other commandments, following further rules, practicing rites, cultivating traditions, and much more are unnecessary and do not bring you a single step closer to My heart—no matter what you are taught and no matter how often you do these things! My commandment of love contains everything humanity needs in order to live together in peace and harmony and to develop spiritually in the spirit of selfless love.
In eternity, in which every spiritual being lives, there is no standstill, not even where the gaining of wisdom is concerned. Life is constant learning and maturing, not only on earth. No one is denied the right to broaden his spiritual horizon by a decision of free will. Nor, as far as My human children are concerned, is there any rule that they may not learn or know this or that. During earthly life, a natural limit is set only by the human intellect, the capacity of consciousness, and the duration of life.
If, then, I do not deny My human children continuous learning and recognition, but on the contrary rejoice when they endeavor to develop their souls further, it is obvious—the logic of the heart!—that I do not leave matters at the basic multiplication tables of My teaching of love and My laws as they are recorded in your Scriptures. No caring father and no loving mother would knowingly leave their children at the level of knowledge of small children. Do you believe Me capable of such a thing?
As Jesus of Nazareth I said that I still had much to tell you, but that you could not understand it yet. And so I promised that after My departure I would send you the Spirit who would lead you into deeper truths. And that those through whom My Spirit would speak would not speak on their own, but that I am the One who reveals Himself.
That is what stands in your Scriptures.
I kept My word.
Have those among you who know this passage of the Bible never reflected on the fact that your scholars of Scripture indeed repeat this statement of Mine, which is of central importance, but interpret it little or not at all? And if they do, then with flimsy and false interpretations?
Because I kept My word, humanity received teaching upon teaching; ever deeper insight into My laws was conveyed to it, connections were made clear, and, for example, the decisive law of sowing and reaping was explained in detail. Already in early Christianity I sent My faithful ones to earth and awakened among them My servants, men and women, who proclaimed Me and My love. My revelatory working continued through all the centuries into your present time, which has more instruments—as I call My faithful ones—than any time before it.
And I will not cease revealing Myself; I will continue informing and teaching until even the last son and the last daughter have recognized Me as love. I will encourage My human children, admonish them, comfort them, open their hearts, assure them of My infinite love—but beyond that I will also point to the principles and rules upon which My creation is built. I will make them aware of the dangers lurking everywhere and place before their eyes the consequences brought about by persistent disregard of the commandment of love; and this not only in this life, but also with regard to their future existence as souls and a possible return into another life or even several lives. For this enlightenment too is part of My love.
I know that some of My children do not much like to hear or read this and perhaps do not believe it either; and nevertheless it belongs to My eternal truth.
Human language is as limited as the capacity of the intellect to absorb knowledge. But if you have received even the faintest small impression of how much wisdom you still lack and of what My never-ending love still holds ready for you, then what your theologians present as My teaching cannot possibly be everything. Your heart must tell you that.
If you listen to your heart and expose parts of what you were taught as inconsistent or even untrue, the question will arise of how new truths and wisdom can be recognized. Certainly not by measuring them against old knowledge and then rejecting the new on the grounds that it was not contained in previous traditions. Whoever argues in this way is like a pupil entering the second grade who rejects his new schoolbooks because they contain something he cannot find in the books of the first grade …
There is only one safe way to recognize the truth in what is said: Ask your heart whether love vibrates in My words, and then put Me to the test. You have the freedom to “return” the new knowledge at any time if you do not like it and to refrain from applying it further, without any disadvantage arising for you from My side. Then you can return to your old way of feeling, thinking, and living if you should feel more at home there.
*
I have already spoken of the fact*) that worse than all oppression, all subjugation, and all coercive measures was the falsification of the teaching of love, resulting in an obscuring of the truth that has existed ever since and—often against better knowledge—is still passed off as My word. No less serious was and is the suppression of the truths that I announced as Jesus of Nazareth and that I gave, as further explanations, over the course of the centuries that followed down to the present day.
Against the “It is finished” of My redemption, the satanic side was powerless. It had to watch as countless human beings set out on the path to inner freedom by taking My teaching seriously and putting it into practice accordingly. But those who had fallen did not remain inactive. One of their first countermeasures was the falsification of My teaching of love, from which over time they made a message of threat. By means of fear, the forces of darkness brought the overwhelming majority of people who had come into contact with My ideas to accept their—that is, humanly invented but darkness-inspired—ideas of God. This procedure was practiced over many centuries, so that eventually hardly anything was known apart from the official church teaching, and under threat of eternal punishments in hell it had to be believed—raised to dogma and, in the view of its authors, valid for “eternity.”
When something like this happens across countless generations, everyone eventually takes as divine truth whatever has been handed down in Scripture and proclaimed by scholars as necessary for salvation and true. For with the suppression of the prophetic word, there was no longer any possibility of receiving further teaching from My Spirit, apart from the misleading whisperings of darkness, which in recent decades have carved out a place for themselves in the esoteric scene.
And thus the second countermeasure began to take effect by suppressing everything that was revealed through the Spirit I had announced and sent, and therefore everything that went beyond the explanations and teachings that—though not always correctly presented—are still present in your Scriptures.
The consequences were and are far more serious than you can imagine. For they aimed directly at distorting My image, the image of all-understanding and all-forgiving love. In this way I became a distant God and, in the eyes of many, an unjust God who cares little or not at all about the concerns and distress of His children—a God whom people no longer understand*).
Having a false image of God makes it virtually impossible to approach all-embracing love in a childlike way and full of trust. A false image of God, shaped from childhood and left uncorrected, causes Me to appear in a light that has nothing to do with My true nature. As Jesus I brought you the “Our Father,” a prayer that—when spoken from the heart—brings you closer to Me. If you are present in it with all your inward devotion, it can be a great help in building and nurturing a wonderful connection between Me and you.
Whoever wishes to look a little deeper recognizes that with the image of the Father a bridge was built so that I do not appear to you as the unapproachable and incomprehensible authority existing far beyond all human ideas and impossible to reach.
As the Creator from whom everything has come forth, I am of course also the “Father” of all My children. But: I am infinitely more! I am the Source that has brought forth all life from eternity and never ceases to pour itself out selflessly. I did indeed come into your world in Jesus of Nazareth, but I live just as much within all creatures of the visible and invisible worlds and animate every atom. My love applies equally to all. My law applies in all the innumerable universes. It is the universal law of love to which everything is subject, which everything follows, knowingly or unknowingly.
There is nothing that I am not, and there is nowhere that I am not. There is no “outside” of Me!
I tell you this in order to make clear to you how absurd it is when people try to force Me into a corset of human ideas and pseudo-religious notions, to bind Me into letters and doctrines and press My infinity into views in the form of hypotheses, assertions, and intellectual games that have their origin in My adversary.
I am! Whoever can grasp it, let him grasp it.
*
Now, My beloved sons and daughters, if you recognize the truth in My words: How do you feel about it? How do you deal with it? What does this mean for your life, for your everyday life? For in the end the only question is what resonance knowledge produces in your future actions, especially when it has become your conviction. I do not press, never, for every kind of pressure is foreign to infinite patience. But I give you impulses, I nudge you, I desire that you move. Yet moving forward is made more difficult when ideological bonds restrict one’s own thinking and fear or inertia does not allow the soul’s call to freedom to become audible to the desired degree.
I am freedom, and the same freedom lies within you. Attachments of every kind are the opposite of freedom. Attachments lead into dependence, and dependence in turn to concessions. From there it is not far to inconsistency, and the first rotten compromises soon follow. At the end lies unfreedom, which of course does not reveal itself as such but appears in many disguises. What often makes you envious at first glance because it appears dressed as wealth, beauty, cleverness, prestige, authority, self-confidence, self-control, and composure, not seldom proves—if you succeed in looking beneath the surface—to be an empty shell tormented by fears and worries.
The freedom of which I spoke at the beginning and which lies within you is something entirely different. It knows no stagnation; it has a clear goal before its eyes. In complete honesty it also faces its own conduct and does not avoid the decisive question that confronts everyone who endeavors to live love:
Is my conduct, measured against divine laws that include the commandment to love God and one’s neighbor and the Sermon on the Mount, right—or does it serve my interests?
I wait with longing for every one of you. I come toward you if you wish it. If you allow it, I loosen the bonds of your fate and prepare your way home. And however dark and bitter the stretch behind you may have been, however full of resentment and doubt your heart may still be: there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that My love—which reaches toward you as a fatherly and motherly hand—does not understand and forgive. There is nothing that can resist it.
Come into freedom, My child!
Amen
