“And after that, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your elders shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.”
Times of solitude and asceticism serve to internalize and unite with God. But the soul cannot be strengthened permanently through seclusion and prayer alone. Away from everyday challenges, spiritual growth is only possible to a limited extent. Only in the struggle with earthly opposing forces do heavenly gifts open up to the soul—if it does so at the hand of the Father. Constant struggles are necessary in order to connect with the spirit of the heart, which not only gives the strength to overcome, but also reveals divine meanings in life and deciphers them according to the truthfulness of faith.
A servant of God does not have to be a hermit or an ascetic. A prophet of today can certainly hold his or her own in professional and family life and is thus a legitimate inhabitant of this earthly world. He or she must only not become attached to his or her possessions and place earthly pleasures above the love of God. But one day, the worker in the Lord’s vineyard will step out of worldly affairs and, having fulfilled his devotion, will only carry out his divine mission. Then his existence will belong entirely to his calling. Then the Father himself will take care of all his child’s needs and become the organizer and guide of every detail of his life.

A prophet has no merit before God. Neither does a respected preacher, healer, medium, religious leader, or spiritual master. These individuals have been given gifts to serve humanity. If they live a life of good will, their spiritual talents will unfold at the right time so that they can fulfill their calling. This is not a merit, and certainly not a reign.
Prophets and apostles, just like every other human being, are subject to weaknesses and mistakes. They, too, must make the spiritual knowledge revealed through them their own in the daily struggle of life. Only love lived out in practical terms in everyday life is the guiding principle of God’s spiritual reality. Only this is a valid measure of God’s actual presence—and not the spoken word.
When a prophet or minister of God is elevated through a cult of personality or arbitrary canonization, base desires become mixed with God-given talents. Then the gifts of grace are lost, the Spirit withdraws, and worship becomes an end in itself. Ultimately, the minister of God becomes a servant of Satan and uses his former status to maintain his own self-importance and that of his new master. Many heresies and false
prophecies have arisen from such excesses and have contributed to the fact that truth and falsehood can no longer be distinguished.

One of humanity’s dreams is to travel through time. This theme appears again and again in science fiction novels and feature films. But even recognized science is seriously and extensively engaged with this topic, illuminating all conceivable possibilities in the field of theoretical space and time research. However, just as it is impossible to use scientific methods to grant immortality to physical bodies, time travel is also impossible with the help of technical means. , God has arranged it so that embodied human beings remain bound to their timeline—this cannot be left or overridden. And even in the lower realms of the afterlife, a soul can only dwell in its time-bound sphere; access to free eternity is denied to it.
If someone is prophetically chosen and/or reborn in God, they can overcome temporal and spatial barriers in spirit, since they are sometimes no longer only in their own sphere of life, but in the all-encompassing sphere of God. In it, the Father reveals to them a future that underlies the current state of development of a person, a people, or the world as a whole.
Visions and prophetic insight are thus actually journeys through time and space. Prophets are, in a sense, time travelers whose destination is predetermined by God.
Like other supernatural phenomena, this spiritual ‘mode of transportation’ can also be intuited by visionary creativity, but due to material attachment, such processes are transported to the level of physicality. This gives rise to the erroneous idea or desire to be able to travel through time by means of technological progress.

Like the word of God spoken in the heart, every visible revelation must pass through a person’s mental structure and worldly coloring in order to enter their consciousness. A virgin vision must therefore first pass through the conditioned belief system or spiritual understanding of the seer before it can be revealed to the world.
The intensity of faith or misguided belief is responsible for the degree of truthfulness or falsification of both insight into otherworldly conditions and the view of future events in the earthly and universal cosmos mos. The more deeply someone is anchored in a worldly imprint, the more distorted the originally true revelation becomes.
Religious dogmas flow into the visions of Catholic-influenced souls, resulting in sometimes absurd ideas about the afterlife and distorted representations of the Last Judgment and the ‘Roman Catholic’ era that follows. The cult of Mary also plays an important role in such prophecies. Divine love is often represented in the person of the Mother of God, Mary, who thus becomes the bringer of salvation and the redeemer. But only Jesus is the bringer of salvation and the redeemer. He alone is God; we are all brothers and sisters in and from him.
When wandering through a spiritual landscape shaped by so-called New Age teachings or Far Eastern beliefs, God’s goodness is often distorted in such a way that it enlarges the spiritual maze of this world instead of bringing light into the darkness.
It is not uncommon for authors with latent mediumistic abilities to mix real otherworldly circumstances with material imagination, resulting in commercial fantasy and science fiction literature and film productions that bind the consciousness of many to unreal worlds—with the result that all supernatural events are not taken seriously and are relegated to the realm of fantasy.
And so one still finds all kinds of curiosities in the statements of clairvoyant and clairaudient persons of all worldviews and beliefs.
The more detached and free a soul is from earthly ideas and conditioning, the more unspoiled its mental life, the clearer and purer otherworldly or divine messages and images come into its consciousness. In order to
experience truth, it is therefore necessary to let go of most of the philosophical and spiritual views that have been acquired and to abandon learned dogmas of faith. The love of the heavenly Father alone should be the concern of a servant of God; it washes away all aberrations. In it, the prophet hears and sees the gifts of grace unadulterated and can reveal them truthfully.

A prophetic vision is always a trinity: it contains the spiritual core that carries within it the intended outcome of the event, it contains the spiritual cause of the event, and it reveals the external process as a material expression and instrument for the consistent achievement of the divine spiritual goal. There are “sleeping” prophets who see only external sequences; spiritual backgrounds are unknown to them or only vaguely known. Such predictions are based on natural or traumatic clairvoyance, but do not necessarily follow a divine calling. Sometimes, personal views are mixed with what is seen, which can be more or less distorted in personal interpretation. This also leads to incorrect time specifications – whereby temporal predictions are always subject to the behavior of the persons and peoples concerned. An exact date can only be given shortly before an event, and even then only if a change for the better is no longer possible. The prophet chosen by God is largely free from worldly conditioned ideas, which is why he can faithfully reproduce a vision or God’s word. He mainly sees the spiritual causes of the event, he knows the background and context and is aware of the purpose and goal of the event, i.e. the divine outcome. He finds complete fulfillment in his prophetic ministry, for this is part of his eternal destiny.

The audible and/or visible word of God in the heart gives instructions for support in all situations in life, as well as fundamentals for living from the spirit and for the situation in the world. This personal word from the Father can already be experienced at an early stage on the spiritual path, even if the spaces of the soul are not yet completely freed from old burdens. The divine messages serve the problems that still exist and have a healing effect on the awakening child of God.
In a message for another person, the soul channel must already be freer, otherwise the words will be distorted by the personal views and inadequacies of the mediator. If this is the case, sympathy and antipathy as well as prejudices of all kinds flow in, changing the message positively or negatively and thus conveying a deceptive self-image to the recipient child.
Nowadays, many proclaimers of the Father’s word can ‘only’ convey general messages with often similar wording. For some Christians, this is not enough; they long for a more intimate exchange – but they find this primarily in their own hearts. It should not be forgotten that there must be corresponding messages for each stage of development in order to provide appropriate nourishment in the respective landscapes of faith. If the medium is largely free of earthly influences and attachments, the Father gives concrete instructions for a person or for the general public, but never in a coercive manner. Only specially prepared and trained servants of God may be transmitters of such revelations with heavy content. These correspond to the spiritual structure of the medium, but this structure is designed specifically for this service. The only peculiarities are the vocabulary that has been instilled and learned, as well as the regional style of language.

In the Mosaic account of creation, the prophecies of the Old Testament, and the Revelation of John, both individual and universal stages of development as well as geological and eschatological processes are depicted in parables and images. This results in a language of correspondences that can only be deciphered if one is connected to the divine spirit. With a worldly understanding that is blind to spiritual processes, it is not possible to comprehend what has been revealed in a meaningful way.
However, it is human nature to want to understand everything. This has led to the most absurd interpretations of the Bible and numerous prophetic misunderstandings, and has contributed to throwing the baby out with the bathwater by considering incomprehensible revelations to be invented poems by insane historians.
Or one may believe that deliberate distortions of content were made—but this is not the case in the fundamental biblical traditions. Only incorrect translations caused isolated misunderstandings.
The prophetic souls of the Bible are free and unencumbered by religious dogma due to their deep love for God. Their inner lives were and are filled with love and truthfulness. They saw earthly and cosmic events primarily in their spiritual reality and reported them accordingly. However, they could not translate these into contemporary formulations, because the terms for them did not yet exist at that time; moreover, spiritual processes often cannot be put into words and can therefore only be expressed in apt images. The insights and visions of these prophets contain and reveal profound events that are decisive for many layers of time and periods of development that earthly and cosmic humanity will still have to go through. Above all, the writings of Moses and John are of fundamental importance and will endure far into eternity.
Only when the earth and its inhabitants are spiritually reborn will the prophetic books close, just as time will close with the completion of the cosmos. And one day, a new period of creation will usher in an eternity of unprecedented life. But thank God, the unspeakable abysses of time and transience with their hellish excesses as we know them will never exist again.
