Divine Revelation
Sons and daughters of My love, I am anchoring something in your human consciousness that your spirit and your soul have known from eternity:
that you are creatures of the heavens, even though you repeatedly identify yourselves with your outward form, your body! Of course you live on the material level, and there is good reason for that, but your earthly stay is only temporary!
Your true home is with Me, and the longing I placed deep within you ensures that you can never truly forget who you are and where you come from. And this longing is also the guarantee that My love, which resembles a magnet of unsurpassable strength, will bring you back to Me. All without exception! This is assured by My divine will and My omnipotence, which has no equal.
The awareness of being a spiritual being is lacking in the great majority of My human children. Therefore—especially in recent centuries and quite deliberately in recent decades—I have allowed much information to flow into your world through proclaimers, seers, prophets, and spiritual teachers and guides faithful to Me. All of it built upon the enlightenment and teachings I Myself brought to human beings through Jesus of Nazareth; and in this way My promise that I would proclaim still more to you was fulfilled. (1)
I have kept My word. But the forces of the opposing side were not idle. As already revealed more than once, they made use in the most varied ways, at decisive points, of human weaknesses and thereby influenced the faultless transmission of My teaching of love, which in itself is absolutely coherent and grounded in My law. The consequence was that very few still know the meaning of their earthly existence and the law of cause and effect, which to a significant degree determines the well-being and distress of your earthly life.
The effects of this intervention can be seen in the fact that the questions of “Where from, Why, and Where to?” cannot be answered satisfactorily. Thus uncertainty, doubt, and often indifference have spread, joined with ideas that have little to do with Me, a loving God and Father.
Knowledge of your origin and your true nature, of the path ahead of you and the goal toward which you are to strive, has virtually disappeared. What is believed today in many religions and cultures presents a distorted image of My nature and working. It can serve as “provisions for the journey” only if it forms the basis for independent and personally responsible thinking and action in the spirit of love for God and one’s neighbor. Ignorance, intended and fostered by darkness, has the world firmly in its grip.
Lack of knowledge, however, leads to misjudgments and false reactions, which is entirely in the interest of the negative forces. They benefit from it, and this ignorance—figuratively speaking—keeps you in the place where you stand; even though most of you had indeed resolved for this incarnation to move forward, learn more about My love, and also live it through honest effort.
I have taught you again and again that an earthly life resembles attending a school in which something is to be learned. This is one of the principal reasons for an incarnation, even though there are many other reasons beyond it. On the curriculum is a subject called “trust.” It is a subfield of “love” and therefore cannot be separated from love. And even though everyone longs to have trust and live it in the situations of daily life, it nevertheless places high, even the highest, demands upon the pupil. It sets tasks before him that are not easy to master, and mastering them presupposes knowledge and the effort to practice again and again if one truly wishes to learn successfully.
Without knowledge, however, in most cases there is no readiness to enter into the learning process; and without this readiness no experiences can be gained of what trust means and brings about. Then there is often a lack of a stable basis for a happy and fulfilled life largely free of fear, pressure, and false goals.

When a soul prepares to incarnate, it generally knows approximately what awaits it; at least it knows this when it includes the recommendations of its guardian angel in its decision. Its decision is in every case voluntary. During the time of weighing and planning before incarnation, however, some things appear in a different light from the way they later present themselves in the hard reality of earthly life; for with its embodiment the soul has entered the sphere of power of darkness. It thereby said yes to what now awaits it in earthly life as learning tasks, in the form of relationships and encounters with human beings and through situations that often have a karmic background.
What it can mature through therefore enters its life. The human being cannot place much of it in context because he does not understand it. Because he does not know the deep meaning of My law of sowing and reaping, he believes he must apply his own small human law in order to create “justice” and restore a supposed balance. In many cases he has lost trust in My justice, insofar as he ever possessed it.
What his soul can never lose, however, is the basic trust that has belonged to it from eternity. Rebuilding this trust is one of its tasks in incarnation. Only then does it find its path, because it increasingly leaves the guidance to Me in the knowledge: “Everything is good because my heavenly Father holds the threads in His hand.”
For no one can, without abandoning logic, at the same time say and believe that I am love and that everything in My creation proceeds in order and without error, yet that what life places before him does not correspond to My will and therefore must be rejected! Because of your free will, you naturally have the right to meet the rough edges of your life’s path with resistance. This changes nothing about My love for you, for it is not governed by your conduct. It is—and it is unconditional.
If you are honest, you reject learning tasks before you because what life presents does not correspond to your expectations. It often becomes doubly difficult when your prayers and requests are directed toward an end result, toward a “success” that according to your ideas would be desirable. Then, when My law in its wisdom sets another solution in motion, your trust often melts like ice in the sun.
And yet everything that happens in your personal life and in your world is borne exclusively by My love and mercy, even when the law of cause and effect dictates the course of events! For I always have in view the well-being of the souls and bodies of My children, while the wholeness of the soul stands in the foreground. For it enters the world beyond; your body remains behind.
Therefore, when something does not suit your “taste,” it is always worthwhile to ask what reasons there may be that at the moment—still—block the dissolution of difficulties. Such blockages must exist, since otherwise My energy could flow unhindered through everything, enliven it, and bring it into order, even though such a process of restoration does not always take place immediately or to the extent that would be desirable from your point of view.
Often there are hidden feelings of guilt or the feeling that you do not meet My demands—which I do not even make of you!—or something unforgiven is still smoldering beneath the surface without your being aware of it; or there are fears that prevent a process of healing of soul or body or the resolution of difficulties and conflicts. The weapon of fear in particular is used with preference by darkness, for it knows that with it it has a means of causing My children to stagnate in their development.
Its fear, therefore, is that you overcome your fears and arrive at a trust that scarcely anything, and finally nothing at all, can shake, because its roots are in the knowledge: “My Father loves me as I am! What He has provided for me is good for me. I trust Him blindly.”
In order to make more difficult or prevent a turning and surrender to Me grounded in heart and intellect, the opposing side, through corresponding influence, altered the law of sowing and reaping beyond recognition and at the same time presented the fact of repeated earthly lives as false teaching. Thus in the eyes of most people I appear as a God whose action or inaction cannot be understood. How, then, can childlike trust in a higher power arise without difficulty when that power apparently distributes its gifts arbitrarily and unjustly?
*
When you ask Me to help you search for causes responsible for the fact that the longed-for, life-affirming harmony has not yet established itself in your life, then I will give you impulses and indications; and I will also ensure that you are watchful at the right moment, provided this truly is your desire. Unfortunately, all too often it is the case that you indeed want to get out of an unpleasant situation or rid yourselves of a character trait that repeatedly comes to the surface, but you are not truly ready to give up the often questionable benefit you derive from it despite everything.
How is My law to respond to this, since it knows your most secret inner feelings and therefore knows what you truly want? Your motives are often not conscious to you, but an honest examination in which I stand by you would help you gain insights. Then little by little it would become lived knowledge that there is no reason whatever not to trust Me, because the reasons for what makes you worried, restless, or dissatisfied are to be sought within yourselves and have nothing to do with Me.
From the first moment of your spiritual existence and for all eternity, each one of you is a child of love; a love that is infinitely kind and forbearing and does everything to restore heavenly unity. No one can prevent Me from doing so, for nothing equals My power, which created, animates, and sustains everything.
I am, as I have told you repeatedly, the great setter of the course. And looking back, you not seldom say: “It is good that it happened this way.” To have this inner attitude not only afterward but already while the situation is arising is a high art called “trust.” I teach it to you if you wish.
Even if it is not always easy, may My words be comfort and support to you: no one is ever alone. Apart from the fact that I live in everyone, and everyone carries My sustaining power of Christ within himself, everyone has spiritual guides and helpers at his side.
*
A life in the harmony of the eternal home makes no demands upon a spiritual being that it cannot meet. For every perfect creature of the heavens has developed My divine qualities within itself: from order through will, wisdom, earnestness, patience, love, and mercy.
On earth matters look different. The human being too carries all these qualities deep within his true core, but his soul, still more or less heavily burdened—the “link” between the material human being and the eternal-divine spiritual being—acts upon his conduct without interruption. Therefore divine sovereignty within him does not yet have the say over what he does and fails to do.
The disastrous combination of ignorance and human weakness results in the human being failing to recognize as learning tasks what the school of life sets before him. Even when he believes in Me—and you yourselves know what a broad spectrum is connected with the word “believe”—he often finds it very difficult to recognize at once as good and right what happens to him.
Added to this is the fact that I am not personally the One who refuses or assigns something; not like someone who, by virtue of judicial authority, decides who receives what and who does not. This widespread false assumption could arise because you interpret the term “Father,” which I as Creator of all My children also am, too narrowly. I gave humanity at that time the image of the loving Father because, due to its not yet more highly developed consciousness, it could not have understood anything else. And in doing so I built a counterimage to the ideas of the stern judging God as whom I am portrayed in the Old Testament of your Scriptures.
But I am far more than your Father—I am everything! I am the Source, the Great Spirit, the primal substance, the holy life in every spiritual and material atom, the eternal light of infinity, the Mother who embraces and provides for all, the law, love, goodness, and infinitely much more. Because no one is able to grasp Me in My infinity and greatness, the words I am stand for the indescribable. And you, My child? You came forth from My love.
The presumption of being the Source itself was the cause of the Fall. This lie continues to be brought into your world by the masters, the vassals of dark intelligence, through so-called channeling (2), with the subtle play on words: “If all are a part of God, then the totality of the parts is logically God. Therefore be what you are: God.” These esoteric untruths find willing ears among many people, especially when humility is still underdeveloped. Then it is not yet easy, full of gratitude yet at the same time conscious of mighty greatness and strength, to accept in love one’s childship of God.
My creation is governed by My law, whose foundation is My selfless and unconditional love. Everything that is lives within this law! Within this law it is established what is required for an evolution that proceeds smoothly and without error, an evolution that will never end and embraces everything I have created and will create for all eternity.
You too are embedded in this law, whose aim is to let you become again the greatness, glory, and above all the love that you still are within yourselves. Every moment of your life as a human being on earth and as a soul in the realms beyond carries within it great potential for development and thereby gives you the possibility of taking the next necessary step toward maturity on your way to perfection.
My justice is part of My law. It ensures that nothing ever happens to anyone that does not in some way have something to do with him. Most of you have long since recognized anyway that so-called chance does not exist, that it cannot exist because nothing enduring can be built upon arbitrariness, disorder, and chaos. If you interpret chance as something that falls to you, then you are close to the truth.
Who has caused something—good or less good—to fall to you, if it was not I on the basis of a personal decision? The answer is obvious: the two ordering factors of My law, “Like attracts like and acts upon like” and “Unlike repels unlike and exerts no mutual influence,” ensure that justice is done. This does not exclude the fact that you nevertheless encounter indispositions and are confronted with complaints and pain that—figuratively speaking—represent the price that inevitably has to be paid when incarnating into the midst of imperfection.
*
Trust, I once told you, represents the sum of the experiences the human being has had with Me. These can only be good experiences that build up, give courage, and convey security; for bad experiences cannot be had with unconditional love.
How do you go about strengthening your trust if this is your desire? First, in order to bring close to you the nearness of heaven and its “work” tailored to each individual: your “I am ready” is enough to set in motion within My law a mechanism specially attuned to each one. Your desire sets something in motion, and not sometime and somewhere, but immediately within and around you.
On the one hand, the knowledge I convey to you, among other things through this revelation, will help you in your intention to strengthen trust; on the other hand, your good will and your courage are needed to enter more deeply than before into the adventure with Me. Developing trust is nothing theoretical or abstract that can be acquired through study. Trust arises in daily life. It builds step by step through small and eventually larger tasks. It grows as you enter into situations that you previously tried to solve in self-will and now leave them to Me. This includes the right inner attitude, which indeed recognizes and addresses Me as the “solver of all problems,” but also sees and contributes the necessary part of its own.
Simply handing something over to Me in the hope that I will take care of everything is the wrong way. To place a matter trustingly into My hands means to free yourselves to a great extent from fears and worries—to switch off the so-called “mental cinema” that has constant repetitions in its program—while at the same time summoning the will and readiness to cooperate actively on yourselves and on solving the problem within the scope in which this is possible.
Is it therefore right and useful merely to pray: “I have great trust in You, Father, that You will take care of everything”? My beloved, a trap lies here to which I cannot draw your attention strongly enough. On the one hand, in such cases the necessary effort of one’s own is seldom seen; on the other hand, an expectation is built up that can or will then lead to disappointment and loss of trust if what is secretly hoped for does not occur in the way your ideas expect—because My law cannot fulfill this request at all, because some things are still disordered and unfinished that stand in the way and first need to be looked at and worked on.
I know of the—humanly entirely understandable—fervent prayer that ends with the wish that everything may turn out well. There is absolutely nothing wrong with coming to Me with this desire. I will never reject a child when and because such a pleading request rises from his aching heart. It may only be that I—in the interest of the soul, which I wish to draw nearer to Me—have provided another path for the human being.
Whoever endeavors to develop growing trust may try to give his requests and prayers a different, childlike and trusting character, which can, for example, be reflected in the words: “Whatever comes from Your hand, Father, I will, as well as I am already able, accept as an expression of Your love because it is good and right. I thank You for everything.”
Even if tears should flow at these words because the human being is still human, you nevertheless entrust yourselves full of trust to My care. You take the hands of love, which at the same time is mercy and radiates infinite goodness, and which possesses possibilities that exceed your powers of imagination.
This is the beginning of a deep, intimate trust that nothing and no one can ever shake again. Whether your readiness, so often expressed in words, to set aside your will and let My will be done truly arises from a humble heart willing to surrender and is not merely spoken as a phrase is something only you yourselves can decide.
My sons and daughters, I have led you deeply into an important subject. If you turn My words over within yourselves, you will arrive at the realization that trust that grows more and more is the best guarantee that much of what comes toward you from outside can exert less and less influence upon you. Whoever lives in the trust that he is guided safely and full of love by Me is no longer subject to the former pressure, fears, feelings of guilt, and doubts, all of which produce stress and, as a result, tension and disturbances in the body; and which harm the soul by “keeping it small,” even though it longs to unfold its wings so that in freedom it can strive toward the light.
Come into freedom. Your trust is the key that opens the gate into the only land that not only promises unlimited possibilities but also holds them ready for everyone who trusts.
Amen

(2) Channeling comes from English and, in the context mentioned, means opening a channel into the spiritual world in order to make contact with beings from the beyond. It is urgently advised against because one never knows who is actually “at the other end of the spiritual telephone” and what intentions that being has. The only One who cannot be channeled is God or Christ. For He lives within the human being and therefore cannot be reached through a channel opened “outward.”
