Divine Revelation
My sons and daughters, some of you are concerned with the question of why I have not yet taken up the subject of “vaccination,” preferably in such concrete terms that afterward you know what you should or should not do.
Think for yourselves, My beloved, about what that would mean. And do not forget that you are free creatures of My love whose task, among other things, is to develop personal responsibility again on your way back to Me. There is no question that I do not leave you alone in this, but give you help upon help. Those who have entered into a close and loving relationship with Me experience this without interruption.
The gift of free will rules out instructions or prohibitions on My part. Instead there are commandments and My offer to let you arrive at your own considerations and to support your decisions wherever a situation leaves room for this. At the same time your independence is trained in this way, so that – when you apply the standard of My laws, My wisdom, and My love – you become independent of what is presented to you as right or wrong and what you are advised or ordered to do.
That is, admittedly, the more difficult path than simply going with the current of majority opinion without much thought. It requires your good will, a little thinking along with things, and the courage, of course, to be willing to bear the consequences of your own decision. But: You have to bear the consequences in every case, whether they were preceded by a decision of your own or by someone else’s recommendation or decision.
In the end, therefore, it is a matter of considering where you see the greater risk, to what extent your fears or other interests enter into it, and whom you trust: the help I give you, or presentations from another side, which do not always and necessarily have to contradict one another. If there should be a contradiction, however, then your logic of the heart is called for.
Therefore, even though it is especially current at the moment, it is not so much or not only about vaccination. You can replace the vaccination subject at will with other subjects, because in your lives you will repeatedly find yourselves in situations that challenge you in a similar way to the present one. That is, among other things, the purpose of an incarnation. Each time the question then arises: What is right and what is wrong? What is good for me and what is not? What brings me advantages, what brings me disadvantages?
For people who not only believe in Me but strive to follow Me in My sense, the question expands: What is right or wrong in the sense of God?
Whether you then decide to accept the answer you have “discovered” and act accordingly or not is another matter. You have free will to do or not do as you please, without My punishing you or My love for you being harmed. But at least you then know what, according to divine law, would be the better decision, even if you then go your own way because perhaps outward or inward circumstances stand against it and still prevent implementation.
The purpose of such or similar considerations is also to make you more sensitive, to direct your view “into the depths” so that you become increasingly able to recognize connections; and also so that you learn to understand that it is not enough simply to believe in the “dear God.” A living faith lives, as the name itself says. It is a faith increasingly permeated by My wisdom; one that makes you ever more secure, but which also – when necessary – calls upon you to assume personal responsibility.

Vaccination: yes or no? I will give you a picture for this.
Suppose you are considering taking out a large loan. Unfortunately, you have no choice of lenders and are therefore dependent on approaching the only one who gives loans. In principle there is nothing wrong with that. But then you learn that quite a few borrowers have had bad experiences with the lender. Some did not care (“There is always some risk; you simply have to accept it”), while others advised extreme caution (“I suffered enormous damage; I was cheated”). What will you do? You will ask around, and on the basis of the information you receive, you will decide. Unless you forgo clarifying details because perhaps you want the loan under all circumstances and believe the lender’s assurances that everything is in order. But if, because you have questioned things critically, many contradictions and inconsistencies have made you cautious or even mistrustful, your decision will ultimately depend on whether you trust the lender or not. For no one in his right mind will do business with someone if he is convinced that the other person is up to no good.
As in this example, then, the issue is not so much the question “Loan, yes or no?” but whether there is such a good relationship of trust between giver and receiver that you can believe the person opposite you. Whether the trust is justified, however, does not follow from his assurances and promises, but from his behavior in the past.
What standard do you want to apply, when it comes to the question of trust, to those who almost simultaneously worldwide not only recommend vaccination but vehemently push for its implementation? “God’s standard is love,” says one of your apt maxims. And My love includes honesty, therefore no manipulation, no false information, no suppression of opposing opinions, no secrecy. My love puts personal interests aside, leaves everyone absolute freedom, and never creates fear and pressure.
If you have the feeling that those who currently have the say in politics, science, and business – quite apart from whether they call themselves Christian or not – fulfill these requirements, then a good foundation of trust would thereby exist. That alone should be your standard for your decision.
If you do not have this feeling because you sense or see that My commandment of love was not followed in the past and is not being followed now either, then it lies in your decision to consider and act accordingly. For this you were given free will.

I have revealed to you countless times that My true message has not been proclaimed for many centuries. The dilution of My teaching has led many people indeed to believe in Me, but to have a completely false picture of what it means to live with Me. What I proclaimed and lived as an example was, so to speak – in the properly understood sense – “radical” and eclipsed everything that had existed until then. The Christians of the first decades, who did not yet call themselves that at the time, knew that My teaching could not be put into practice in everyday life “with ease.” Following it could cost one’s life, as was in fact the case millions of times over the past two thousand years.
Then the enemy came in the middle of the night and sowed weeds among the wheat, meaning: The necessity of taking My words seriously, even at the price of sometimes serious disadvantages to which one was then exposed, became less and less important over the centuries that followed. What remained was merely a framework of My proclamation, a pale imitation without inner power. Living the Sermon on the Mount today seems impossible even to many of your theologians. Eventually it was no longer a problem to cultivate many worldly interests – even when they stood in opposition to My teaching of love – and nevertheless regard oneself as a believer with the idea that, as a Christian, one was on the right path.
In this way many of My human children have lost their sense of what following Me means. And because in their own lives, without a bad conscience, they often “let things slide,” they cannot and do not want to think about how those at the top in politics, science, and business conduct themselves. Anyone who is too lax toward his own behavior and not infrequently turns a blind eye to himself will not apply My standard of love to others either – indeed, he will not even be able to – when decisions are involved that under some circumstances also affect his own outward well-being and worldly goals.
In a world where everything revolves around exploitation and profit, “faster, richer, farther, stronger, bigger” comes first. There is then no room for observing My commandment to love your neighbor. Most people are already satisfied if things go reasonably well for them. How their prosperity was purchased, who in other countries paid what price for it because they have to work under conditions unworthy of human beings, what secret agreements were made in disregard of human rights – these questions are rarely asked and, for the most part, cannot even be answered because much happens in secret and remains under lock and key.
Anyone who sets about aligning his life with My laws will have to recognize very quickly that he is overtaken and left behind. If he does not want to accept disadvantages, he must join in – or he must restrict himself. Then, so to speak, he is “out of the game.”
Only a few are therefore ready to regard Me and My teaching as the most important thing in their lives. Anyone who nevertheless strives to do so knows that his striving and his existence, viewed in the light of his eternal life, are no more than the blink of an eye in eternity.
The vast majority, however, whether they occupy leading positions or are entirely “ordinary citizens,” react unconsciously in the many situations of daily life as “their human self” dictates. Reflection about behaving one way or another often does not even arise, especially when a corresponding decision might be connected with disadvantages for themselves.
Those who work with the instruments of fear, promises, and offers of advantage naturally know this too. Therefore, when you honestly seek your answer about vaccination – or other answers in similar situations – take care that, as far as possible, you are free from wanting, in your own interest, to keep, have, or avoid this or that. You are not forbidden to do so; but then your view is clouded. The trap of influence is set and wide open and waits only for those who – undecided or despite better knowledge – step into it.

Not all of you will be satisfied with My answer. But anyone who honestly examines it and also himself will have to recognize that it cannot be otherwise. And it will become clear to him that for the development of his own soul it is necessary to engage with many things he would – understandably, from a human point of view – most like to avoid. Take only My commandment of love for God and neighbor, in short: love – and nothing else.
It is said so quickly and may even be affirmed in principle. On closer examination, however, a depth opens up that encompasses every area of life and of one’s own behavior. It would be too easy, and would not promote the maturing of your soul, if I told you in detail – for the undecided or half-willing perhaps even prescribed! – how you should behave in this or that situation. I tell you: “This is right according to My eternal law! Act accordingly or do not. You are free in your decision.”
I remind you of something, My sons and daughters: The clear instructions you so often desire from Me have existed for a very long time, among other places in the Ten Commandments. Have they enabled humanity to free itself inwardly and outwardly from satanic fetters? Is it not stated there unmistakably that the human being – among other things – shall not kill, steal, commit adultery, or lie? Is there a clearer answer to the question, “How should I behave?”
Do you believe that a global answer to the vaccination question would evoke a corresponding response in the spirit of My love? It certainly would not; but as an answer for those who strive seriously and with an honest heart and seek a solution, it will not only be sufficient; it will also bring them new realizations and give them courage to continue undeterred on the path by My hand.
Turn inward again and again. I wait for you there. Be certain, My sons and daughters, that I never fail to hear a prayer, a request, a question, or whatever it may be. I always answer you as well. But you are often unable to hear, see, or understand My answer. Most of the time I answer you indirectly, but if you are vigilant you will recognize My answer in what comes to you. It does not always represent the final solution immediately, because I adapt My address to you to your consciousness. But it leads the honest seeker forward step by step and to the goal.
If you follow Me on this path full of trust, what comes to you will always be what you can accept without quarreling with Me. You will then finally recognize that I accompany you in every situation, even without your having to make the detour through the law of sowing and reaping and first be brought to insight through the effects.
Therefore let go of all thoughts about what will happen in the future. They are meaningless and useless because things will come completely differently from what you imagine. Unless through your fearful thoughts you construct a building that encloses you and leaves you only a little free space for Me.
I am your Lord and God. My love cannot be defeated. And all those who entrust themselves to this love – that is, who come to Me again and again in trust – will not be overwhelmed by darkness. It may be that because of fears still present you can be attacked for a short time. Do not let this confuse or pull you down. When you turn to Me, I give you the necessary strength with which you succeed in looking forward again.
However you decide regarding vaccination: If you make your decision with Me, I am the One who guides you with My light and My love in everything that then follows.
Amen
