Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, as long as things are going relatively well for you, very few recognize the necessity of engaging with questions about where you come from, why you are here, and where you are going. Such and similar questions often come to the fore only when something enters your life that frightens or worries you and thereby jolts you out of your numbing everyday routine—and even then, usually only very slowly.
This jolt can resemble a shock. And this in turn can be healing if you allow it. But it can also lead to a numbing of your thinking and willing and entangle you even more deeply in old patterns of behavior if the mechanisms of the opposing side become effective in you. For your world lives according to rules established by the negative forces.
Most people follow these unwritten laws. In doing so they are not clear about something serious: They are thereby often kept from living My laws to the extent to which, if they call themselves Christians, they have supposedly “committed” themselves. Offers of entertainment and distraction on a scale never seen before make it possible to push proper observance of My commandment of love, questioning the meaning of life, and searching for and finding the right answers far to the back, into the drawer of forgetfulness.
Churches and religions too have established their rules. Observing these rules, which over many centuries have often led to firmly rooted rites and traditions, appears so important to a large part of My children that they believe by fulfilling them they have already done most or even all that is needed. Yet these are forms of religious practice I never taught as necessary for salvation. They were added to My simple teaching to give people an “outward corset” of false security; also to bind them and, if they violated the invented doctrines and prohibitions, to make them feel guilty and instill feelings of guilt in them. People burdened by guilt are easy to steer in the desired direction.
And finally, every person establishes his own rules, his ego rules, which enable him to get along reasonably well in his little world. Just look at your behavior toward your fellow human beings, shaped by your ideas and your likes and dislikes. Then you know what I mean.
Establishing and practicing your own prescriptions and rules, which often stand contrary to My holy will, has led to My law being disregarded more and more often and finally forgotten in its absoluteness. Beyond that it expresses that the one constructing them knows nothing of spiritual laws, interprets them falsely, or places his own thinking and willing above them. Even when this happens on a large scale or over long periods of time, it is not always easy to see through because it often wraps itself in the cloak of what is supposedly willed by God, harmless, or well meant. But whoever wants to see and hear can nevertheless recognize the satanic in much of it.
My nature is purest love, which is selflessly and unconditionally available to all My creatures at all times and forever. But it would be wrong to assume that love only whispers softly and smiles and has no clear structures. Among other things I am also order, and I have the power and the will to preserve what I created for all eternity. Yet everything is subordinate to My love, and its laws guarantee that everything that once left Me and the glory of heaven will also find its way home again. If this were not possible for Me, then I would have been defeated by another, greater power that had succeeded in alienating part of My children of creation from Me.
Use your reason, My sons and daughters …!
There are therefore spiritual laws that work without error with a precision incomprehensible to you. There is no time limit on their effectiveness, which means that nothing once “put into the world” as a violation of My commandment of love simply disappears on its own merely because eons or little eternities have meanwhile passed. Above all other laws therefore stands My law, from which nothing and no one can quietly slip away.
The “great ones” of your world—but also countless “little ones”—know nothing about this, or they do not believe it when they are told, because reality seems to prove the opposite. And they believe just as little that every reality, seen spiritually, is only a tiny blink of an eye in eternity and moreover has a past and a future.
My law, born of My fatherly love and care, ensures that all find their way home again. This takes place according to a simple principle:
Every action that does not correspond to My law of love—especially when it is a serious violation serving one’s own advantage while disregarding the well-being of one’s neighbor—already carries within it the seed of its downfall. By this is meant:
No unlawful action can endure permanently, no matter how well it was prepared using the highest human intelligence and carried out with every means of power. It cannot endure because the higher principle of love will sooner or later allow the effects of the causes previously set to discharge, and no one can evade them permanently; no powerful person in your world, nor Sadhana and her followers, even though their transgression lies an unimaginably long time in the past, and even though it will take an equally unimaginable length of time before the Fall reaches its good end.
But “seed of downfall” does not mean the destruction of the loveless one. It means that evil is transformed into good, something that will take place in everyone when, through a decision, an inner and outer turning back occurs. The insight that precedes it does not first have to come through experiencing self-caused effects. It can also begin beforehand if the stirring of conscience is allowed and Christ’s help is requested. In this process I am, within everyone willing to turn back, the helping, supporting, and healing power that will carry out the transformation.
For this is why I came into the world in Jesus of Nazareth: to teach the path that leads back to My Father-heart and to live before you how you can walk this path. Love—I Myself—lived among its human children. I told them of this infinite love, touched their hearts with it, and was able to move many to orient their lives differently than in the past. I did not merely assure them of My love; I gave it to them without interruption. Whoever looked into My eyes knew he was looking into the eyes of love.
You can still do that today: Close your eyes, go inward, direct your thoughts and feelings toward your inner light, and ask to be able to experience Me near. Then give free rein to what is in your heart and wants to stream out from it. If tears flow, if a longing for home, for a sense of safety, for freedom and more rises within you, then you have looked love in the eyes.*)

To come to Me in this way and place yourself in My arms will be easier for you the fewer feelings of guilt you carry within. Feelings of guilt, I remind you on this occasion, are from the devil. From his point of view he has used this tried and tested means for eternities to muzzle people and thereby prevent them from setting out toward Me full of trust and good courage.
He benefits here from the fact that many of you have a completely false image of Me. The seducer succeeded in this by allowing the idea of a punishing God to flow into the in part dogmatic teachings of your churches. In this way it could be prevented that human beings recognized the greatness of My all-forgiving love and mercy. Now many are unfree and suffer under the impression that they are unworthy of My grace. They do not have the courage to walk upright through life as children of God in a manner that corresponds to their true nature.
They therefore also do not know that the way out of the labyrinth of guilt feelings is called remorse. Remorse is a divine gift of grace. It enables you to break through and thereby end the cycle of guilt and discouragement and of feeling sinful and “small” in My eyes. For with remorse a decisive step has been taken. Yet you must take it as the first step, which is required by your free will.
If your remorse comes from an honest heart, the guilt of your past is transformed by Me. It is erased and as such no longer exists before Me. And this happens the moment you bring your sincere remorse before Me, which may also require further steps—for example making amends and asking forgiveness from the one you injured.
Then, however, your “debt account” is erased. Freedom becomes yours again. You have freed yourself from satanic bondage. It may nevertheless be that you first have to get used to your new freedom and practice a little in order to handle it properly. Have courage, I am at your side. And by then at the latest it will also become clear to you why darkness does everything it can to block this path of liberation for My human children.
As a short formula this divine truth reads: Feelings of guilt are from the devil; remorse is from God!
But something else can be added to the feelings of guilt you developed because of personal lovelessness: the thought of belonging to those who followed Sadhana and left heaven; that is, of belonging to the fallen beings who once opposed Me.
Many people ask themselves this question. It can become a mental burden if it gives rise to and strengthens a feeling of guilt for being partly responsible for the consequences that are making themselves felt with particular intensity right now. In very sensitive people this can lead to stagnation in the development of their soul or even to serious problems of the soul if they virtually let themselves fall into these thoughts.
Do not let yourselves be seduced into cultivating such thoughts, My beloved. They bring nothing. Whether you are children of the Fall or count among those who voluntarily left heaven for various reasons plays no role for what you have to learn here. I came into the world in Jesus of Nazareth to release, heal, save, and bring home. Through what happened on Golgotha something fundamental changed: Heaven stands open again. Satan’s power is broken, which means that he must release and let go anyone who has recognized his wrongdoing and wants to begin the way home again.
My mission, founded in My love for you, was directed precisely toward those who seemed lost. For them I came; for them I let Myself be nailed to the cross. To them I called and have called ever since: “Come, accept My love. Set out on the path I have shown you. Follow Me with an honest effort—and you will find home.”
It is true that both before My time as Jesus, during My earthly life, and repeatedly since then—and especially in your present era—many spirit beings from heaven and realms close to heaven have gone into the flesh on earth. They did and do this out of love for Me and their human brothers and sisters in order to help in the great work of bringing all home. All of them, whether from the Fall or “from above,” are subject to the same conditions when they incarnate. My justice would not allow anything else.
The opposing forces are therefore also allowed to besiege and attack the brighter souls in order to make them stumble or fall. And they are doing so with particular intensity precisely now, for they sense or foresee what will happen.
On your earth there are therefore souls in human dress from the most varied subtle realms. Some are against Me and want to destroy; others have decided for Me and want to save and build up. This struggle, announced by Me through My faithful long ago, is entering a decisive phase. And you—you and you and you—are part of it. And this is no coincidence.
Sense within yourself whether you are ready to support the side of light with your possibilities. This presupposes that you believe My words and do not merely read them and check them off as a “beautiful lecture.” And that you are willing to let the longing for Me and your eternal home be addressed in your soul. You can also ask for this to happen, provided the desire for it is already stirring within you but the flame of your homesickness is still relatively small.
For your yes to Me it makes no difference what your past looks like. For Me your past exists only as a memory if you decide to set different priorities in your life than before. This means: walking step by step on an easier path by My hand. Many angels and spiritual helpers, including more than one from your past earthly lives, stand ready to help you.
*
The host of those who stand on the side of light both in the spiritual realm and in matter is immeasurably large. Many feel themselves to be pioneers, and I want to explain to you what that means.
Pioneers are sent ahead to make necessary preparations so that those who come after them can fulfill their tasks more easily because much of the fundamental work has already been taken from them. Or—as in the building of a provisional bridge—so that those who follow have any possibility at all of reaching the other shore.
There have always been spirit beings who decided on such a task and then became pioneers through their incarnation. Among other things, they were involved in the preparations for My incarnation and also served as My apostles, disciples, and followers. In this way, often at great personal sacrifice, they laid the foundation for those who—to remain with the image just mentioned—could now cross the bridge built by them as pioneers and enter a bright and spacious land.
In principle everyone who enters into following Me is a pioneer, because—if he strives for it—he serves as an example and bridge builder for those who through him are moved to think about the purpose of their own lives. In this sense your earth is teeming with pioneers, most of whom are not even conscious that they are here as preparers and that with their efforts they represent a beautiful little stone in My great and glorious mosaic.
Yet more than one pioneer has difficulty believing in the successful outcome of his task and effort when he sees that the destruction by the opposing side is taking on ever greater dimensions. Then it can happen that you slip into human thinking and have to motivate yourselves again and again. Otherwise there is the danger that discouraging thoughts gain the upper hand: “What is all this for? It is obvious that things are going more and more downhill. Can I really bring anything about?”
My beloved, as the great Comforter and the strongest power in creation, I give you courage when on such occasions you come to Me as quickly as possible, indeed literally take refuge in Me. Such thinking is only too understandable, and no one should declare himself free of it. The adversary does everything and uses every opportunity that presents itself to unsettle you. You need only fail to pay attention for a moment, and he finds some opening to make you restless, listless, or even discouraged.
This becomes all the easier for him when you direct your attention only to outward events. Then you quickly forget that the only reality is the spiritual that works behind them. The outward realm that he sells you as reality is only a deceptive appearance that will one day dissolve into nothing because it cannot endure permanently.
At present, however, the negative force dominates people through their senses, aided by humanity’s very widespread ignorance. But you know about these things, and you can protect yourselves from thoughts that often fly at you out of a clear sky if you keep the following before your eyes. You will recognize the tremendous difference a consideration makes depending on the perspective.
It is wrong to think: “The opposing side is increasingly destroying what we build through our effort.”
It is right to think: “Through our effort we are rebuilding what has been and is being destroyed!”
What My pioneers do is build something spiritual that will also manifest materially in the future. But at present it is still pioneering work, which nevertheless cannot be destroyed by the powers of darkness because what has been created spiritually is beyond their reach.
For you who know about My working, My laws, and My strength and yours, this should be a reason for joy. It will become your joy when you see the greater whole; when you recognize that you are co-builders of a new and better world and time; when you do not speculate about seeing the fruits of your efforts ripen as soon as possible.
What you do is first and foremost inner work. It changes you yourselves and thereby also changes, in the spiritual realm, the conditions for the time still ahead. It changes the conditions under which those who will inhabit the new earth begin and live. They will cross the bridges My pioneers have built. Do you know whether you may not be among them?
Therefore it applies to everyone—not only the pioneers—who wants to follow Me that it is fruitless to think about when this or that change will show itself outwardly. For no one knows My plans, and therefore no one knows how, when, or where. It is humanly understandable to want to know what fruits your work brings. And if you do it from the heart and out of love for Me and your neighbor, you will in any case very quickly sense what changes in you and about you. But whoever loves Me and trusts Me acts largely free from the desire to see success.
He remembers one of My earlier words:
You are responsible for the sowing, not for the harvest. Let the harvest be My concern!
*
The foundation of genuine pioneering work is trust. My followers of the first decades had this trust. From it spring joy, enthusiasm, and ever new strength. At that time I promised My own that I would send them My Spirit and accompany them at all times. I have kept My promise, and I will keep it for all eternity.
I am love, and I dwell in you. How then could I ever leave you?
Do you not also long to be free of worries and fears? To go into the coming time with trust that is unshakable because it is founded in Me? It can be acquired. As basic trust it already lies in your soul and comes from the knowledge of a wonderful time that we spent together in the infinity and boundless freedom of your heavenly home. Build it up again if it does not yet have the scope you long for.
This is easier than you think: Every experience you have with Me, however small, contributes to gradually taking away your fears and reservations. It can also be expressed this way:
“Trust is the sum of the experiences you have had or are having with Me, love.” If in the future you increasingly enter into this, you will sense how the desire for greater intimacy and nearness grows within you. That is what I wish for you as well.
To fulfill such wishes of My children stands very high among what I do for My creation.
Amen
*) The following fits here:
Longing Is the Key That Lets You Find
Do you truly want to find, child? Then set out
and go on searching, step by step along your way.
And you will find! For the trail I lay for you
leads you back to Me. You still wait? What for?
The search seems hard, often full of toil and burden?
How will you find if, doubting, you stand still?
If instead of seeking Me you walk the paths
that you, of your free will, have chosen for yourself?
I said that everyone who seeks Me will find Me.
So there can be no doubt that this will happen,
and that My heart draws you, and everyone, to itself
who loves and, full of longing, loses himself in Me.
Longing is the key that lets you find,
and I am the One within you who sustains your effort.
I am the One who stirs in you with strength and comfort,
and when you begin to waver, I hold you fast.
Do you want to find Me, child? Then come and take the step,
give your longing free rein and do not hesitate,
and thus find your way back to yourself and Me—into the light.
And whatever happens, be certain: I go with you!
