Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, the greatest trump card that My adversary and yours still holds firmly in his hands is your ignorance. It alone has made it possible for him to act and rule on your earth largely undisturbed. It does you no good merely to believe in the devil, perhaps even in his influence; many people do that. You must understand deeply that it is about more than a figure depicted with horns and a trident. Only then are you reasonably protected against repeatedly walking into cleverly set traps.
Then you will no longer imagine him somewhere in a hell that cannot be explained more precisely, for then you will be aware that you do not live, figuratively speaking, in a “vacuum,” but that varied life is continuously taking place around you—invisible to you. Besides the forces from the light, one part of this life consists of those who influence, harass, and seduce My children into thinking and acting in ways that do not correspond to My commandment of love.
They have a good reason for this: They continuously need life energy, which they do not receive from Me. So they obtain it from you.

Sadhana’s*) endeavor—she later called herself “Lucifer,” which means “light-bearer”—was to bring a creation of her own into being. She did not succeed. The realms that formed outside the heavens through her behavior and that of her followers were only a pale reflection of their former, eternal home. Through their lack of insight and their continuing struggle against Me, the fallen beings “moved” farther and farther away from Me, their life-giving source. They could no longer return, for insight, remorse, and turning back were foreign to them. As a result, they also lacked the energy needed to rise into higher spheres.
Energy is the central point around which everything in My entire creation revolves. In the end there is nothing but energy. Even your matter is nothing other than condensed energy, something your scientists discovered long ago. Every being, whether subtle or material in nature, needs energy. Since the apostates could and can absorb only the minimum energy absolutely necessary for their existence, and since this does not constitute life in the true sense—but merely makes it possible for them to continue existing—their constant thoughts and efforts were and are directed toward obtaining “more” energy.
Through My sacrifice on Golgotha their situation, from their perspective, became even more difficult, for now every willing soul could return to its heavenly home. Darkness thereby lost part of its “energy suppliers”—and continues to lose them today and will in the future whenever people decide during earthly life to enter into following Me. Their souls then have a correspondingly high vibration, so that when they lay aside their physical bodies they enter subtle realms that are no longer subject to the influence of darkness.
I place this explanation, which I have already given several times, before My word of revelation today so that you may better understand how the opposing forces succeeded in maneuvering you into the difficult situation you are now experiencing. The principle working behind it concerns every individual; and because each individual is part of the great whole, humanity as a whole has also been successfully brought, through the consequences of cleverly engineered arts of seduction, into situations that from your point of view are in part hopeless.
And yet there is a solution, though not in the sense in which most people understand or desire it. I offer you My help as the only solution that can free you again from your dilemma; at least in the long term.
Every attempt by the negative forces to cause a person to violate My commandment of love naturally has a goal: either to prevent him from ever finding the path to Me, or to make his progress difficult or impossible. After the “death” of the human being, they want to bind his soul to realms they control.
But it is equally important to darkness to obtain in this way the life energy it so urgently needs. It draws this power from a person it can influence even during his lifetime; to what extent depends primarily on how far the person yields to the seductive whisperings. Or, stated without embellishment: how often and how intensely he sins.
The withdrawal of life energy is not necessarily always physically perceptible either. Often far more effective is a theft of energy taking place on the level of the soul, because the person does not notice it immediately or perhaps at all. There are indeed enough signs that could have made him take notice, but usually his consciousness is restricted at the same time, so that an increasing “heaviness of soul” goes unnoticed.
But it would be extremely laborious and would not bring the desired lasting success if attempts had to be made to seduce you anew again and again, if the same or similar situations had continually to be placed before you, so to speak if every gain of energy always had to be planned and prepared anew. It can be done much more simply and, for the powers of darkness, much more effectively.
They have found a way to induce a large part of humanity permanently into patterns of behavior that lead to dependence once they have been practiced one or more times and a person has become accustomed to their “advantage.” Once that has happened, darkness has the person “on a long leash.” In the same or similar situations he then reacts just as wrongly as before, without constant new attempts being necessary to move him toward unloving behavior. The person has built up a program within himself that directs him. In most cases he does not notice it; but if he does, many reasons stand against not doing something to which one has become accustomed; or worse still, something that has become part of one’s life and without which one would—supposedly or even in fact—have difficulty coping or would be dissatisfied if one gave it up.
Getting someone to behave in the way desired by the seducer is always connected with an offer that promises the “victim,” from his point of view, relief, benefit, superiority, gains, and much more. These can be material or non-material in nature.
They are material when concrete advantages are involved that result from corresponding actions. Think only of the ruthless exploitation of your planet and of the financial profits from many kinds of business, even from those you would not at first glance classify as satanically inspired, such as the excesses of your health-care system. Ignorance of the soul-related background of illnesses has turned countless people into blindly believing participants and permanent consumers of medicine that is in part harmful to health.
They are non-material when, for example, the exercise of power, having one’s own thinking done for oneself, or giving away responsibility is involved. An exaggerated need for security also belongs to the offers made to you outwardly that give you inwardly a questionable feeling that you can now live more or less free of fear—until outward security is no longer there, and fear then slowly rises within you again.
To get this somewhat under control again, you reach for new “security measures,” without noticing that you have fallen into the trap called “dependence.” Fear is one of the favorite traps, and the wrong decisions that result from it make you unfree to the highest degree. Whoever acts this way has, without knowing or intending it, been incorporated into the endlessly long procession of manipulated followers.
The goal of all the efforts of evil is therefore always to bring you into a greater or lesser degree of dependence. Once you have become accustomed to something, you will gladly continue practicing it; even when the realization begins to dawn within you that in the long run this cannot go well, or that such thinking and acting does not in fact correspond to what I proclaimed in My commandment of love through Jesus of Nazareth.
Once things have gone this far, a bond has arisen. Then you have been bound to a way of thinking and acting that apparently makes life easier through automatic processes; but this kind of relief is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you no longer have to think long each time about how you should behave; but on the other hand, if these bonds are traceable to satanic activity, you have become unfree. And as a rule without noticing it.
The great majority of My children have fallen into this trap in one way or another. It is not easy to recognize, and if attention were drawn to it, this would often provoke your objection. For what could possibly be wrong with maintaining a cherished habit, enjoying this or that long-familiar convenience, or holding one’s place in a community or society?
As long as no gagging of the soul is connected with it—which usually goes unnoticed and always results in a loss of energy—there is nothing to object to. You are free children of My love, whom I never punish. Yet precisely this gift of freedom very often also represents a weak point when it is not handled with care.
Darkness knows this very well, and therefore it has always adapted its approach to the possibilities it finds in each individual. It is not without reason that I have repeatedly reminded you that it proceeds with a sophistication and deceptive maneuvers against which you have little or nothing to set. You will therefore never find outwardly the protection you desire. Security, My beloved, exists only in Me. And true freedom as well.
It is unnecessary to emphasize that there is no bondage in heaven. And precisely for that reason there is a freedom there that cannot be described, because human beings have no words for it. But because the desire for freedom is present in the soul of every person, and darkness knows exactly the details of these desires, which often are not conscious even to you, it frequently holds before you a false freedom.
Often far too late—if at all—the person notices that in reality it is a spider’s web in which he has become entangled; and that he has become an energy supplier who is nevertheless left enough energy that he seldom or never becomes conscious of the lack, because one can live quite well with what remains. If a person had even a vague idea of what would really be possible for him through still greater closeness to Me, indeed if he could only once gain a feeling for what true freedom really means, there would no longer be any question at all which path he would increasingly take in the future.
For now, however, he is not or is hardly capable of this … even though now and then one person or another succeeds, in deep contemplation or in moments of intense feelings of love, in gaining an inkling of the boundless existence to which he has a claim; an existence that has lain dormant within him throughout eternity and waits to be opened up step by step.
For eons this siphoning off of energy has continued without interruption. From this infinitely large reservoir of power, which is repeatedly replenished by the opposing forces, they draw their “life.” If they had to worry—expressed in your words—that at some point they would no longer be able to steal energy from human beings, that would be equivalent to the great majority of humanity having released itself from the bonds of sowing and reaping.
This is not merely desirable or probably possible; it is the goal of all of you! But it is a goal that still lies far in the distance. So that it could become reality for you, I came into the world in Jesus.
You will grow into the freedom that is your own when you increasingly strive to shape your everyday life with Me. Then you will give away less and less energy and finally none at all, and in this way you will help ensure that the influence of what is negative, with all its consequences in your world and ultimately throughout the universe, is reduced more and more. Finally darkness too will bow. It will lower its head in remorse because it will have had to recognize that it too carries eternal and radiant life within itself, and that in the long run there is and can be nothing outside My love.
Resentment or bearing grudges, revenge or bitterness are traits that entered the world only through evil and have been and continue to be promoted with force. They are foreign to Me, and therefore I will joyfully embrace all who once left the heavens and fought against Me and against you.

Until that time comes again, however, people who are unenlightened and/or unwilling to make a change in their lives will remain playthings of their adversary. Habits not founded in love will intensify. Under certain circumstances a blockage can also build up in this way, making it increasingly difficult for a person to practice a new, more loving behavior and finally put it into practice. The mountain that must be worked through then grows ever higher—until it has become so overwhelmingly high that the person resigns when he recognizes everything that has accumulated there.
My teachings, all of which are intended to help you move forward, are always borne by My love. But it is not a sugary love that coos and talks around things. My language is clear and understandable. That is why it can happen that some people find My words too strict, that they assume too much or even make demands. None of this is ever the case. But something else can happen. And this has to do with what I call not keeping up to date.
Failing to correct a fault over a longer period will result in its truly taking root. Or put more drastically: sinful behavior that is repeatedly lived out will, figuratively speaking, pile up and then become the mountain mentioned above. At some point it will become so overwhelmingly high that the person, even if he considers My words true and right, resigns and no longer believes he can ever remove this mountain. His courage leaves him, and this is precisely what the adversary has been waiting for: “With the past you have, it will never be possible for you to fulfill this commandment. Don’t even try.” And further: “You have not done so badly with what I offered you …”
Whoever believes these or similar dialogues are invented is mistaken. You are never alone; both light and darkness are always present. They know you much better than you know yourselves. If darkness wants to seduce you, it will speak into you in this way without your perceiving it as an outside prompting. Precisely because of this, through your inner feeling it will lead to the result the tempter has in mind.
My love for you leaves you a range of freedom that you cannot grasp with your human understanding. There is never a “must” in it; but that does not prevent Me from conveying My commandments and My laws to you unambiguously and with complete clarity. I do not say: “It could be this way or that.” I say: “This is how it is!”
This can lead one person or another to the false idea that I am unmerciful. Nothing could be more mistaken than believing that, My beloved child. I make a great distinction between what is founded in My love and therefore true, and what readiness and strength a child has already developed in order to put love into practice in everyday life.
Or put differently: I show you the principle. In this way anyone who wants to know can also know what is right in the spirit of selfless and unconditional love and what is not. Whether you, My son, or you, My daughter, are already able or willing to fulfill this commandment is an entirely different matter. As you would say: “Those are two different things.”
On the one hand, I make no concessions in My laws; on the other hand, I leave you the freedom to strive to fulfill My laws. And that without reproaching you if you decide against doing so.
That is freedom, that is love; these are qualities that already lie within you in their perfection. They wait to be awakened and lived.
In case you belong to those who from time to time see a high, sometimes too high, mountain before them, I have a way of solution for you. It helps you free yourself from your dependencies and gradually grow into your freedom—a freedom with Me. This path requires only your readiness and your decision to want to walk it. I take from you the greatest part of the rest, meaning the work connected with such a decision.
Because many people do not understand how such a thing can be possible, I want to remind you that a higher vibration can always penetrate a lower one, that a strong force is always superior to a weaker one, that something dark cannot endure in the light. Since I am the one true light of creation, and there is no greater power or strength than Mine, there can be nothing that in the long run can resist transformation through Me, who am perfect love. In doing so I always and in every case respect free will.
There is therefore no question whether I can and will help you and all who are willing when an appropriate request is expressed. It is equally beyond doubt that I will remain the victor and that you will be victorious with Me. The question, however—and with this I am addressing the “weak point” in My offer of a solution—is whether the person who has entered into dependence on satanic influences will also muster the will, perseverance, and love for Me needed for our common “Project Liberation” to come to a successful conclusion.
Since Golgotha you too carry My power of Christ within you, for I gave it to all souls and human beings. It is at the same time the spark of redemption that makes it possible for all to return home again. I redeemed you, My beloved, from the bonds that since the beginning of the Fall had made it impossible to come back to Me. But the term “redemption” can also be interpreted to mean that I help you and at the same time take over the greater part of the “work” of loosening the fetters you allowed to be placed upon you and that thereby became fetters of your fate; that made you energy suppliers for the opposing side without your knowing it and certainly without your wanting it.
Now you know the connections. What each individual does with these insights is up to him. With regard to the coming time, however, it would be more than advisable to turn inward and search for, and with My help find, the holes through which energy escaped and that in the past took away part of your inner momentum. Everyone of good will receives My blessing for this.
Amen
