Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, I have often pointed out to you one of My divine laws, which says: Whoever serves the law, the law serves him!
Understanding this principle is important for you if you truly want to grasp why things on your earth—and above all in your personal life—are as they are. And it is decisive for what happens to you and the world in the future. It lets you recognize in the right light much of what took place in the past. For often you stood before events you could not understand, shaking your heads, wavering in your faith, and doubting Me and My justice. And even now there is still much you do not understand.
Some time ago I told you that it is already five past twelve. The vast majority of people failed to hear the striking of the clockwork. They did not want to hear it. They do not take the signs of the times seriously and believe that somehow things will go on. After all, they are still alive, and there is no lack of entertaining pastimes.
Yes, somehow things will go on, because nothing I created will ever be lost. The destination is fixed and will be reached with absolute certainty: the return home of all those who left the heavens, for whatever reasons. In this respect, then, with a view to an eternal, immortal life in your indescribably glorious heavenly home, there is no reason for worry. But the question remains how the destiny of My human and soul children takes shape on the way there, that is, along the stretch still before them, which under certain circumstances can become very long and not very joyful for them.
It must be clear to every one of you that in the years when I worked through Jesus of Nazareth and taught human beings, I gave far more from My divine wisdom than the little that stands in your Scriptures. Moreover, because of translation errors and falsifications, the fragments still present no longer correspond to the original of My teaching, something your research proved long ago and which is also known to those responsible in your churches.
I did adapt what I placed into human hearts to their consciousness and understanding, but this does not mean that I withheld fundamental truths from them. There was no question I did not answer, no pain I did not understand, no heart into which I did not place all My love when I recognized longing within it. Or do you seriously believe that I, your God—who fully permeated the human being Jesus with My radiance—held Myself back, overlooked or failed to hear something? Or concealed or denied something? I am love!
The people of that time who were open to it therefore received and grasped far more than what is offered and given today to those who depend on the teachings and interpretations of their scholars of Scripture. What I could not yet tell those who endeavored to live according to My teaching of love, My Spirit brought in the decades that followed. He led all willing people with open hearts ever deeper into truth, just as you can read in your Scriptures. You still find this word there, but you do not understand it, pass over it, disregard My promise, or do not believe it.
I kept My word. But My direct guidance through My teachings was a thorn in the side of the opposing forces; and so they eventually succeeded, through subtle whisperings into the ego of people who lacked humility, in silencing the speaking God.
Today the greater part of humanity resembles more than ever travelers wandering about without a destination. The signposts that were put up point in different directions. And even those bearing the words “to heaven” were twisted around, so that in this way the human being no longer finds his way back. That is why for many centuries—with increased intensity in recent decades—I have raised My word in order to turn the signposts in the right direction and at the same time make My simple teaching of love still clearer and deeper. In its essence it says: love—and nothing else.
If I now ask you to take an honest look at the condition of your world and leave no area out of consideration; and if I ask you whether you recognize, or at least sense, a connection between the abuses prevailing worldwide in every field and the suppression of My truth and wisdom; and if beyond this I ask you not to exclude the small and large inconsistencies and incongruities in your own lives: What do you answer?
And if you say, “Yes, I recognize that, or at least it is likely,” what follows from it? A shrug of the shoulders? Helplessly watching what happens next? Or reflection on what you can change in your personal sphere? Fear as motivation for different conduct is the worst adviser. But the desire to find your way back to the roots of My simple teaching and put it into practice out of love for Me, your neighbor, and yourselves—whereby, as already mentioned so often, your honest effort is enough for Me—would be a wonderful foundation. In this way you can understand and experience even better than before what My word means: Whoever serves the law, the law serves him.
If you recognize no connection and reciprocal effect between the continual violations of My commandment of love and the dark clouds that have long since gathered on the horizon, then I ask you, indeed I admonish you, to open your eyes and face reality. What you consider security was and is in reality pseudo-security. It was and is the calm before the storm that deceives you. Remember your saying that God’s mills grind slowly.
They do so, among other reasons, because I very often give everyone—whether an individual or a small or large community—the opportunity to reconsider his actions and correct them. In this way causes that have been set can in time be removed wholly or partly from the world, which means their effects do not unfold, or unfold only to a small degree.
And you should also reflect on another saying: “Do not be deceived. God is not mocked.” No one can cover Me with ridicule and mockery, because I am beyond such human outbursts. Yet the meaning hits the mark: No one can refuse the harvest brought forth by his own seed. My law works flawlessly—and nevertheless contains all My love and mercy.
*
Whoever still finds it difficult, or for whom it is still impossible, to establish the connection I have outlined, I ask to make a short excursion with Me, in which we will make use of the logic of the heart.
Visible and invisible creation did not arise “just like that out of nothing.” It has an originator—Me, whom you call God—and it was called into life and is sustained by an almighty power that proceeds solely from Me. There is nothing, no place, and no moment in the entire universe where I am not! I am eternal, I am omnipresent, I am supreme consciousness—and I am love!
My creation rests upon immutable spiritual laws, just as human coexistence can proceed in an orderly way only when the worldly laws you have given yourselves are largely observed. To ensure this, alongside the legislature, the lawmaking power, you also have the executive, the enforcing power, and the judiciary, the judicial power. When your laws are violated, the executive and judicial powers come into action.
Because human beings could not imagine—and still cannot—that I do not need such institutions, because love neither threatens nor punishes, in their lack of understanding and limitation they attributed to Me their own human, imperfect conduct. I have other possibilities for moving My children to recognize and correct their faults. Time plays no role in this process.
The teachings of your authorities regarding a human being’s freedom of will differ greatly. Some reject or call into question the free will I gave every human being; others acknowledge it in principle, but according to their specifications this has led to a violation of My will in self-will then being followed by punishment from Me.
They did not arrive at the idea that in My wisdom I take other paths; and this despite the fact that your Scriptures speak of the human being sowing what he reaps. Because this word is interpreted only toward the future—that is, toward a life after “death”—it can no longer serve to understand a situation as a whole. With this one-sided, false view it has become completely meaningless and worthless when you ask and search for the meaning of life and the right way to place events. The question “When did the human being sow what he is reaping today?” does not arise at all, because in your church teachings there is no “before,” no life prior to the present one.
The so-important little cogwheel called “cause and effect,” decisive for understanding, was removed. Darkness had won a small stage victory.
The instrument available to Me, which takes into account both My non-punishing love and the free will of My creatures, is grounded in the law of cause and effect that came into force because of the Fall. But it is not a whip or rod; rather, it is part of My grace, My helping hand to My children, who in this way will find their way home again without My ever interfering with their free will or punishing them. It is a tool of My love. That many do not see and understand it this way is due to a completely false interpretation, often believed and represented even by those who have already acquired spiritual knowledge. It is interpreted falsely so that it always appears as something negative and threatening. The opposite is the case.
Correcting this mistaken view is the purpose of My revealed word today. I want to make clear to you that My law of sowing and reaping exists and serves to solve your problems and difficulties, not to make your life difficult. Through it I want to prepare your paths, provided you give heaven the opportunity. With your yes I want and will level much that now still lies before you like a mountain full of worries and uncertainties. For My law does not hover above you like a sword; on the contrary, it waits patiently until it can show and hand you the harvest of the good seed that has accumulated and continues steadily to accumulate as a consequence of your effort. This then serves as an ever firmer foundation for your future thinking and action.

Because I live within everyone, there is no moment of your earthly—and naturally also your eternal—life in which I am not omnipresent within every creature. If this were not so, if I were not the life within you, then you would not be.
Everyone who lives outside his eternal home of light has his guardian angel invisibly at his side; and beyond this, further helpers and teachers as well when his task or the respective situation requires it. To express it in your language, you are constantly on the “heavenly radar screen.” It is impossible that there could ever be a moment when you are alone or even “lost,” or when heaven is not certain where you are and does not know what you are thinking and doing at that very moment.
But unlike a manner of acting customary in some of your regimes, heaven is not concerned with monitoring you. On the contrary: everything is directed toward giving every human being and every soul the greatest possible measure of help and assistance.
So do not worry about how or what heaven may now think about your small and large transgressions, and do not develop feelings of guilt. Whatever a human being may do, your spiritual companions never condemn him. They have all fully developed within themselves My spiritual principle, which you too should strive for. It says: I hear, see, and know everything; but whatever it may be, I love you without ifs or buts!
If you believe this, and also that I have infinitely many possibilities for guiding a child, then the next step—using the logic of the heart—follows by itself. It says that heaven has taken over directing the course of your life. And from the moment you entered the realms outside the heavens. This principle applies to everyone!
Are you aware of the scope of this statement, of this fact? Is it clear to you that with this you are “provided for,” so long as you are ready to serve the law? For the law that embodies My love serves at all times and without error everyone who is ready to follow the commandments of My law of love.
To make clear to you what this means, how in a positive sense it can virtually “turn your life upside down,” I will give you an image.
I compare your decision to incarnate in order to learn and develop further with a journey into a foreign country. Perhaps you intended to be a kind of development worker; perhaps you are a member of an expedition; perhaps you want only to gather experience—whatever it is: if your incarnation is borne by the desire to advance on the way to your heavenly home, you act in My will!
If you incarnated in self-will, if selfish reasons drove you into another earthly life, or you simply followed the “spirit of the age” without the motivation of development of the soul, then you too are not without spiritual companions who want to help and protect you; but the possibilities for their supportive and admonishing impulses to be perceived and put into practice by you may be severely restricted. Other forces then play the decisive role in directing the course, and you are still strongly woven into the educational side of the law of cause and effect.
But if in your life you have understood that its meaning consists in striving for what is good and loving, then you resemble a development worker who brings the best prerequisites for fulfilling his self-chosen mission. He does this by working on his own development—which has nothing to do with selfishness—so that, according to the strengthening of his soul, he can then support others and be an example.
Do you believe heaven would not give such a human being, whether young or old, just beginning to make an effort or already somewhat tested, all the help he needs? This begins with an incarnation being carefully prepared together with the guardian spirit. In addition, the necessary equipment for the incarnation is made ready, strengths are weighed against weaknesses, and the first switches are set. All of this happens in the invisible realm, and yet at birth a being enters the world who builds upon Me and upon whom I also build, because he wants to contribute his part so that the world becomes a little brighter.
The human being, even while still small in stature, carries within himself everything he needs in order successfully to complete his passage through matter in the sense of maturing of the soul. He is equipped like a member of an expedition. Does he need to worry about the necessary supplies? Remember what I told you about the radar screen. Heaven knows every individual. It knows what each one needs, and it provides everything even before it is asked for. For love is concerned that its “representatives” enter enemy territory well equipped.
This process is comparable to a supply organization that works flawlessly and can be disturbed or interrupted only by the one for whom the supplies are intended. The supply cannot then be delivered as usual and as desired when conduct is present that does not correspond to the commandment of love. Delivery becomes still more difficult, even impossible—remember that like again attracts like and unlike repels unlike—when wrong conduct is practiced not only once or for a short time. If it is repeatedly displayed against better knowledge and perhaps has even already become a program difficult to lay aside, the continuing inflow of strengthening and healing energies can be blocked.
Then the human being understands nothing anymore; he begins to doubt, feels abandoned, and goes his way merely by routine. His heart is no longer in it. The incarnation threatens to become a passage over earth that ends with the feared and unavoidable “death.” When awakening on the side beyond the veils, the soul gradually recognizes what would have been possible if …
If, on the other hand, the human being is ready to fill My commandment with life and expresses this in his conduct in daily life, he himself creates the prerequisites for everything to proceed in a much more orderly, uncomplicated, and easier way. Then truly I am the great One who sets the switches, to whom, because of your effort, things become possible that you call “miracles.” You do this often, whenever you do not know that threads were invisibly pulled in the background. Suddenly everything fits together: stones are cleared from the way, disputes are ended, a more harmonious life together begins to emerge, worries fade, unexpected help appears, burdensome and illness-producing attachments to old habits can be loosened, positive inner feelings and thoughts replace negative ones, the engine of your life no longer sputters, and much, much more.
What happened? Through your yes you gave heaven the possibility to take over directing the course of your life because you stepped out from under the command authority of your ego’s direction. In doing so you began to add further seed to the good seed already present in the field of your life, something whose value cannot be rated highly enough. And the law of cause and effect, which is your friend and not your enemy, begins—figuratively speaking—to let the most beautiful flowers grow in your garden while the weeds, seemingly by themselves, become fewer and fewer.
If you look back briefly over your life, you will recognize the truth in My words and find confirmed in many situations what influence the principle of sowing and reaping has already had in your existence.
I once spoke of the fact that I am no bookkeeper; that I therefore do not “pettily and pedantically” offset one thing against another. As soon as I see an effort, an honest intention that goes beyond a quickly spoken prayer, “Please, You take care of that,” and that has as its foundation the desire for a change of character in the spirit of love, positive forces enter the scene.
Depending on what is involved, preparations must be made in the spiritual realm that then have effects in the material realm, in your surroundings. Much therefore cannot become visible immediately, for you do not live alone in an empty space but are connected with countless human beings and souls and also with events of the past.
But I tell you, no request for a change aimed at coming closer to Me will ever be unheard or rejected. And not only that: it is, so to speak, processed “with priority.” Everything necessary is initiated in the moment such a call reaches My heart. What happens next depends, among other things, on your conduct, on the seriousness with which you undertake “inner work.” By this I mean your share in this work, for I take over the greater part of it anyway.
But first “go” and then “stop,” first one way and then the other, will not move you from the spot, for all My love.

I have marked out for you the great framework within which all events in the world take place, both in great world politics, by which the destiny of peoples is determined, and in your personal life. Within this framework everyone has every freedom to do and refrain from doing what he wishes.
He cannot, however, avoid the consequences of his actions. Not even in thousands of years. That is why the mechanism of cause and effect can be properly understood only when it is acknowledged that, as a rule, there is not merely one life, but that the soul—by free decision—incarnates several times.
My guidance ensures, in the case of people who allow themselves to be guided because they live largely within the law, that nothing happens to them that seriously harms their soul. This applies more or less to outward things as well, although most souls before their incarnation were clear that they were entering the sphere of rule of darkness and therefore had to accept inconveniences, discomforts, and difficulties too. But their desire to advance or contribute their share to filling the heavy and dark earthly atmosphere with light caused them to accept the risk. It is reduced by Me to the necessary learning experiences when these human beings walk at My hand.
To speak in an image: lightning, thunder, rain, and storm cannot always be avoided, and yet I know how to guide My own so that they may indeed get wet—which often cannot be prevented—but nevertheless arrive home unharmed.
For all those of My children who worry without reason, the good news in My message is that no one can be lost because he cannot fall out of the “system of creation.” Beyond this: that there is no death and no end, and that all will return home. And that there is no injustice in Me that prepares a good existence for one human being and a bad one for another. Everyone has it in his hands at any time to give his life a different direction, one that points “toward heaven.” I help him with this because My love and mercy come toward everyone who calls Me.
The less good news for all who want to live in self-will, which My love does not forbid them: in the long run it will not succeed; but you have the freedom nevertheless to try. Everyone without exception belongs to the great heavenly community in which selfless giving, loving coexistence, and indescribable happiness in the light prevail. As long as he is outside this community, he is separated from it; he is isolated, even if he does not yet feel this as disturbing and painful. But the longing within him, burning in the spark of life that sustains him too, will ensure that he also finds his way back into unity.
Because heaven—on the higher level—always directs the course, which no one can take from its hands, it will happen in this way. For it is My will!
Amen
