Friday Evening
Jesus speaks: “Thus I have come to touch your hearts, to fill your souls with My love on this path that you walk in this time of darkness. Yes, I do it at all times when you entrust yourselves to Me in the stillness of your spirit, in the holy chamber of your hearts, where I dwell; and I also do it when you have strayed from the straight path, when you have once again lost yourselves in the world. For often you have strayed and still stray, tearing yourselves away from My hand. For with the other hand you still hold fast to the world, and so the world pulls, presses, and tugs at you and causes you to fall. But I do not pull on your hand, My children; I hold it very lightly, like a breath I hold you.
And when My child does not surrender to this breath from My heart, the world tears My child away from Me and leads it back into the darkness and gloom of material desires. And, My children, know this: that hurts Me. It saddens even a God when My children move away from Me, when I know: this will harm My child; it will wound its soul. And yet I can do nothing, for free will remains at all times. Thus it is up to you to turn back to Me. Then I come with all My love, standing there with open arms and an open heart, to receive you again. I do this at all times.
Yes, in truth I am chiefly occupied with bringing lost children back again, by placing an impulse in their hearts: `My child, what you are doing is wrong. If you do this, you will lose Me for a certain time.´ And yet it is usually so that the child wants once more to go its own ways, in self-will, in its own will and its own love.
But you know: I forgive you everything, because I have already accepted you as My children—there is no going back from that, neither for Me nor for you.
And so I stand here now as well with outstretched arms, with a heart full of love, ready to give you nourishment: the bread from the heavens and the wine that I offer you. To eat the bread means to recognize Me; to drink the wine means to do the works of divine truth and pure love. The two belong together; they are a unity.
Only in this way does your life have meaning. I am the meaning of your life. I am the fulfillment of your longing. I alone can give you what you long for in the depths of your soul: this longing to be safe and sheltered in Me already on this Earth. And when a person has entered into this security in Me, then whatever may happen in the world can happen. Violence and war and death may rage around you. What is that to you, when I am the life within you? Therefore hold fast to Me at all times. Remain with Me; then there will no longer be this up and down in your life, then there will be constancy in Me. Are you ready for this?”

Saturday
Jesus speaks: “My peace be with you. Just as you have opened your hearts, My children, I too have opened My heart. I have entered not only this room, but the chamber of your hearts, and I have gathered the destinies present here into My love and taken the ends of your paths into My hand. These ends, these concluding points of your path up to the present moment, I now illumine with the light of My love, gentleness, and mercy, for I have entered not as almighty God, but as heavenly Father, as brother, as best friend.
Thus I stand here in the simplicity of My love and say: spiritual perfection is found only in the simplicity of love, for love is not complicated; and whoever walks the path of love recognizes how simple life fundamentally is. And whoever walks the path of love also walks the path of trust in Me and the path of humility, in the recognition that I am everything in My child and that through this My child can be everything in Me, in this love for one another, in this divine friendship and Father-child relationship.
And therefore it is My great desire that you speak with Me as with a best friend, with a trusted brother, with a father whom one trusts in all matters of life. In simple words that all My children understand, I speak to you, and so you also speak to Me: `My Father, here I am; this is how I stand before You now. I cannot be otherwise. Please accept me as I am. I give You my heart; that is my desire.´ And I likewise say: `My child, I give you My heart; that is My desire.´
You resolved to place yourselves in the service of love on Earth, so that ultimately, in the freedom of your will, you may return into My heart, into My heavens, to live at My side. You chose this; you also did it in order to endure in the darkness and spiritual death of this Earth. Yet in the course of your life you have taken something of this darkness and this death into yourselves—that cannot be avoided—and you are also clothed in a dead material body, which the soul gives life to and which has become a part of you.
Yes, I go still further and say: every thought that binds you to matter binds you to death. And therefore, My children, I entered into the death of this Earth and of all worlds and placed redemption within it through My sacrifice on the cross, through My blood. I penetrated death with My blood and gave it life.
So it is now, My children: when you walk this path with Me, you do not find death in matter, but life through Me and with Me and in Me. This is the great gift that children of God receive from Me—that they no longer have to live in death, but may be alive in Me.
But when you occupy yourselves with material things without Me, you bind your soul again to death in certain aspects of your consciousness, and then it is necessary to free yourselves from it again. And that too can be done only with Me—thus you need Me at all times.
Many of My children lose Me again and again on this path through the darkness. I see this and I know it, for free will is always given. And when you have gone back into death, I reach out My hand to you, open My heart, and a ray of light from it goes into the darkness and writes the name Jesus Christ in great letters once more in your hearts, so that you come to your senses and recognize: `Yes, my Father is there and waits for me; therefore I turn around and go back to Him, for there is no life in the darkness, and without my Jesus I can find neither happiness nor joy.´ In this awareness you are to live, My children: that I am your One and All, your longing, your joy.
Yes, conditions on this Earth have become very harsh. A child whose eyes I open recognizes the great discrepancy between divine life and what is now happening on this Earth. The whole system is a house of cards that can collapse in upon itself at any moment. Yet the battle still rages—also for you. Therefore it is necessary that I speak to you, that I draw your attention to the fact that you must hold very firmly to Me and that without Me it cannot be done.
Yes, I will come to the world like a thief in the night, and it is written: `Then the heavens will pass away, the elements will be destroyed in fire, and the works of human beings will no longer be found, and I will make a new heaven and a new Earth.´ Now you ask, My child: `My Father, what does it mean—the heavens will pass away—what is the meaning of Your words?´
I tell you, My children, here are meant the heavens that human beings have made for themselves: their false ideas about heaven, the error that after death one immediately goes to heaven, the material heaven of pleasure that human beings imagine—all this will disappear. And the elements that will be destroyed in fire are the distorted thoughts of human beings on the various levels of earthly existence; they will burn in the fire of truth. And `the works of human beings will no longer be found´ means: what human beings have accomplished in their blind science, as well as the proud governments, the royal houses and rulers, the power-holders of religions who have led people astray and used them for their purposes—all these will no longer be found, for I am making a new Earth and a new heaven, which means: I will unite heaven and Earth into one, so that there may be one world, a world of love and truth.
It is therefore not this Earth that will burn, but the works of the spiritually dead that were done upon it. And when I say: I will come like a thief in the night, that does not concern you, My children, for I have already come to you; for you the day has already dawned. But it is not so with the godless; they will be surprised when they suddenly sink completely into their spiritual death, and that is their judgment and their ruin.
Yes, great distress will come upon this Earth, great misery, lamentation, and outcry will prevail. But I tell you: this distress is a judgment for human beings only on the surface of matter. Viewed in the spirit and in the face of eternity, one sees this distress with My eyes, and then it is mercy that is taking place—mercy in order to save what can be saved, to draw to My heart and lead those who still carry a spark of love within them, no matter what worldview or religion they stand in. In the first place, the love of the heart alone counts. In the great Beyond there are then enough possibilities to lead the souls along My paths, to lead them to Me, so that they recognize Me as their Father in Jesus Christ.
For only through Me can a soul enter heaven. There is no other door into this bliss. You are already standing at this door, My children; I have led you to My heart—you are ready to enter. And yet it is so that in all of you I still have to remove some stains from the soul. You know this necessity, for only what is perfect can enter heaven.
Therefore, whatever may meet you in the near future, know that it comes from My heart. And the more unpleasant it appears to you, the more strongly the means of redemption works. Therefore trust Me in distress, whatever face it may have; in the end it is always I who stands behind it. For when a child has entrusted itself to Me, I treat it as if it were My own life. And a God will surely not throw away His own life, but will do everything so that it returns again into His perfection.
My beloved, actually only a few of My words would be enough. If you put them into practice, it would be sufficient to perfect you. And yet I wish to fulfill My children’s longing for the bread of life, in the measure in which My children expect it in their hearts.
And, My children, I want you to speak with Me in an entirely natural way, without ceremony, without ornate clothing or whatever human beings have devised in the belief that this is how they must approach Me. You need none of that. Come to Me as you are, with all your burden and toil. I take them from you at all times—in the measure in which you trust Me. If you give Me little, I take little from you. If you give Me more, I take more from you. And if you give Me everything, I take everything from you. It is that simple. Amen.”

Dear heavenly Father, You our one great love. Now we come to You and with this request bring You all those who have hurt us in our lives up to now. We bring You the situations in which we have regarded ourselves as victims of people who mistreated us on the level of the soul, those whom we cannot forgive; we simply cannot manage it. It keeps coming up again, even though we make an effort. And with this awareness, with this chamber in our soul that is still filled with darkness, we now come to You …
Jesus continues: “… My children, I am now ready to cleanse these chambers in your soul, to enter them and fill them with My all-forgiving and merciful love, so that you may then enter this chamber and apply this forgiveness to the people whom you still carry with you in bitterness and hostility. For forgiveness, My children, is a fundamental prerequisite for your being able to enter My heavens. Everything must be cleansed already on Earth, where it is easier than doing so in the Beyond. And so I now have the opportunity, in the quiet love of your hearts, to touch you and kindle this light within you.”
Jesus now leads us through this process of forgiveness and becoming free:
“Now think firmly of this person or those people whom you could not and cannot forgive. This person who is bound within you is now pulsed through and irradiated with forgiving love, so that the darkness into which you placed him, and which you placed within him through your punitive unforgivingness, aversion, and mercilessness, is flooded with light. And this light that now penetrates this person can one day kindle his conscience, so that he recognizes that what he did or is doing to you or your loved ones was wrong (burning coals over their heads). Through your willingness to give life within you to My forgiveness, you have placed into these souls the light of recognition of their evil conduct. And so it is a wonderful blessing not only for you, but also for this person or these people, who now stand in My blessing through your forgiveness.
For that is what it is about, My children: to redeem. And by forgiving, you give these people the possibility of entering the chamber of redemption. For what is loosed on Earth, you know, is also loosed in heaven, is also loosed in Me. And so one day you will meet these people in the worlds of light, and there will be great joy in the awareness: `Now everything is good. My enemy is now my friend and my brother, for he has repented of his evil doing with all his heart.´
This love has a heavenly quality, far more than love for your well-disposed fellow human beings.
Love of one’s enemies is the greatest love. I lived it before you. I sacrificed Myself on the cross for all human beings, also for Satan, so that this flame too, this little flame of divine forgiveness, might be placed within him. Yes, My sacrifice on the cross has many effects, but one aspect of it is that I forgave Satan everything and thus placed My love into his heart anew, against which he still resists and struggles. Yet through this the possibility has been given him to recognize Me—not in enmity, but in love.
Preserve this gift that I have now given you, My children, in your hearts. Do not throw it away, but remain in this awareness and in this freedom of love. For your love remains bound until you have released everything and hold nothing back for yourselves in enmity and unforgivingness. Amen.”
Pause
Jesus speaks: “My children, certain parts of your hearts are still bound, but a part has now become free within you through Me. And so I want to free your hearts piece by piece from everything that still needs freeing, so that you may soon enter into My Spirit—individually and all together. You are indeed those whom I sent out and to whom I once promised: `I will bring you together again on this Earth and will speak to you.´ Now the time has come. I speak to you; I have kept My word. You too have kept your word by following Me, and so we are now here together in this heavenly fellowship of love. And so I will continue to lead you piece by piece, into perfection. And the more room you give Me within yourselves, the more I can fill you, raise you into My Spirit, rapture you into My Spirit.
I see your willingness: `Yes, Jesus, take me, here I am, my life belongs to You!´ But do not merely say it, My children; live it with all its consequences in love of neighbor and unconditional trust in Me. Yes, when distress comes, do not run away, but stand there as examples in unshakable faith: `I have entrusted my life to Jesus, I am not afraid, I belong to Him; His will be done with me.´ This is how you are to speak, My children, and not be full of fear and worry about what may yet come.
I lead you out of worry and fear about the antichristian conduct. Know also that I will always provide food for you; and if you pray before you eat, truly in this request and in the faith that I bless your food, then this food will not harm you, but I cleanse it. You cannot see it, but in the spiritual world it is visible how My stream of blessing then flows into this food—then it serves you for good and not for ruin, illness, and death. This trust when taking nourishment also belongs to the life of faith of My child.
Take everything into your faith. I have power over everything; for Me there are no limits. Entrust everything to Me: your family, your friends, your colleagues at work, the people you meet on the street. Speak quietly to them in your hearts: `Jesus bless you.´ And when a person behaves strangely on the street, shouts around, drunkenly harasses other people, do not condemn him, but say: `Jesus bless you.´ It could be a fallen angel.”

In answer to the question about the path of our children on this Earth, Jesus says:
“Among you here in this circle, and among all those who stand in love for Me, the children I have given you are mostly children from the light. I entrusted you with responsibility for them for a certain time. During this time you have the task of raising your children to the best of your knowledge and conscience, always taking into account that you yourselves have battles to endure, that you yourselves must struggle for your faith and for My presence. Yet by and large it is so that from an early age you raise your children in such a way that they know what love is, that they have come to know the dear God, and that, as far as possible, you also place them within a protected framework—as long as their surroundings and everyday life permit it.
Then comes a time when every person’s free will comes to the surface and penetrates the child in adolescence, and it then wants to build its own world and break out of this protected space. This is the time when parents lose power over their children—not the power of love, for love remains, but access is often lost. Then I step onto the scene, for then I say:
My beloved, here I take responsibility for your children. Then they are no longer first of all your children, but My children, which in truth they always were, but whom I entrusted to your care. This had to be so that they would have a start in this earthly incarnation. And yet it is so that from a certain point onward the freedom of the soul stands above everything, and then I bear sole responsibility for My child, for in the true sense they are My children.
As parents you are to live in this awareness: that in truth they are My children and that I bear responsibility for them—from now on into eternity. Only for a brief moment of their existence did they belong to you—and that is good. During this time you learned what it means to be father and mother, in order to recognize the love between father or mother and child. In this correspondence you can and may also recognize the love of the heavenly Father for you as His child. It is a gift that you can have these experiences, so that in your love as children you may find My love for you. Whether they are your own children or adopted children makes no difference, for you also accepted your biological children from My hand.
Therefore it is important that you hand responsibility for your children over to Me, set them free, let go of their souls. For if you cling to these souls, then they are still imprisoned in your will and do not have the possibility of entering the freedom necessary for them. Then it is a pseudo-freedom in which they cannot continue their path in the divine sense—then they break out and leave you in soul and also spatially. Nevertheless it is important that you continue to love your children and pray for them. That is to be the connection that remains between your souls and hearts—but not a claim of possession; that belongs to Me alone. Amen.”
Jesus speaks: “My children, this is truly a song (after the `Sanctus´ from Gounod’s St. Cecilia Mass) such as is also played in heaven, where the choir of angels sings of Me—My holiness, My power and glory—where I stand in the midst of My own and they worship Me. But here on this Earth I do not like to be worshiped, for as you know, I have come to you as heavenly Father, and as such I do not desire the praise of My children; I desire the loving faithfulness of My children. That is what gives Me joy, for what can one praise in Me, when I Myself am all in all? And when you praise Me, you are fundamentally praising yourselves, namely Me within you, and that is not necessary. Therefore love Me; then you love Me within you and yourselves in Me. And be faithful to Me; then I am the faithfulness within you. That is what I expect of you: this gift of faithfulness, which gives My Father-heart great joy.
“Now My son has asked Me to address several subjects. One is this desire of yours, My children, that I lead you to a task, that you know what you still have to do on this Earth. And here again I say in very simple words: live love in humility in everyday life; that is your most urgent task. In small things you are to serve Me and be faithful to Me. And whoever goes through this world with open eyes finds everywhere and at all times a service of love that can be rendered to Me, even in solitude and being alone, by raising your thoughts to Me, by thinking together with Me, by acting together with Me, always in the awareness that I am with you, that I give you the strength to live, to act, to think, to breathe, to love—you must become aware that I am your life and your vitality.
“Therefore I have placed you on the ground of humility, on which you recognize that I am all in all. If you leave this ground, then you believe you can act and work from yourselves; then pride and arrogance arise, and that is not good for you, My little children. Therefore remain in humility. In small things you are to be faithful to Me; then I can set you over great things. As it is necessary, I employ you in certain areas of My work of redemption on this Earth, and beyond that in the great Beyond, for redemption extends into eternity.
“You know that the entire universe must become spiritualized. That is still a long road on which you accompany Me, on which you will redeem with Me in all areas of this creation. When one day you have entered My heavens as spirits, from there you will work into the material world. The inhabitants of heaven do the same by accompanying you, by radiating into your hearts with their love, for you are their brothers and sisters. They are those who did not enter the flesh, from whom you took leave, whether from heaven or from a world of light in which you existed before; you took leave with the free decision to go to this Earth in order to attain here the state of being children of God in the service of love.
“That is the meaning of your existence on this Earth. And the freer you become in your love—that is, the more free of wishes you become concerning the future—the more I can shape your future. Then this chamber of the future within you is free, which you have often filled with wishes and desires, with expectations and hopes that I cannot fulfill because they do not lie in My plan for you. Therefore cast self-willed expectations for the future away from you. I will fill this chamber with My plan by entering it. This is the bridge and the path on which we move together into the future of this time, and beyond it into eternity.”
* * *
Jesus speaks: “My son has asked Me to take up another subject, and that is spirituality, esotericism. There are many areas through which My children have wandered, and from these worlds, from these spiritual worlds that are also overgrown with negative energies, they have brought something with them into this relationship as My children. Beings are still attached to you, and this too is permitted so that in the light in which you now stand—namely, in the light of truth in and from Me—they can recognize that they too have been and still are in distorted worlds.
“Now they have the opportunity to walk a part of this path with you, on which they recognize that they must walk their own path with Me. But some cling to you with all their might because with you they feel light and warmth. These are spirits that live from your energy. Some of you still have such fellows with you, who also impair your health.”
Samuel then receives the impulse to pray: Now I ask You, dear Father, to take care of these beings whom we brought with us while wandering through lands of belief that are not purely within Your truth, so that we may become free of these past things, of this burden of which we are not always aware, but which is present and which so often trips us up, so that we stumble and do not know why; so that we sometimes think strange thoughts and do not know why, yet they are not always our own thoughts, but thoughts placed into us by these souls, who thereby sprinkle with poison the truth and love into which You have placed us, so that we cannot live with You in pure truth and pure love.
And so, dear heavenly Father, let this be the request of all of us to You: release these beings from our spheres with the power of Your love and mercy; lead them to the places You have prepared for them, so that their souls may be purified there and no longer seek their nourishment with us.
Look, Samuel: I can now see angels going through the rows with the commission to remove these souls with power from the individual chambers of the souls and from this room as a whole, in order to lead them to the places of their destiny; so that in this area too our love may become free, so that these bonds to the past may also be taken from us: teachings of misguided religious leaders, arrogant spirituality, whatever it may be … .
Jesus takes over: “… all of that, My children, you must let go; from all of it you must become free. Just as today I have already freed you from irreconcilability and unforgivingness, so I have now given you the grace also to leave your false spiritual paths behind, in order to free yourselves a little further from the clutches of this world through which you have walked for so many years now.
“And now that this has happened, My children, earlier you noticed the black clouds that rose in the sky—black clouds; you know what they signify. They are countless departed souls moving there, passing over the lands, which must find cooling through the spirits of peace who are also present in these heights and spheres and cast these evil fellows down to the Earth, where they then fall as rain in order to be bound here in the Earth, so that here in this school of humility, in this patience into which they are then placed, they may come to their senses again.
“This is the cycle of life, this is the cycle of nature, which for your science takes place only on the material level, but in truth these are processes and events of soul and spirit in interplay: spirits in My commission, nature spirits endowed with instinct, and departed souls.
“Human beings have intervened deeply in the divine order through weather manipulation; through the poison that rains from the sky, chaos has arisen in the layers of the air, and this has evil consequences and will have still worse consequences for what I cause to grow on this Earth. Thus human beings have for the most part poisoned their food, just as spiritual nourishment has been poisoned. See the correspondence here as well.
“Therefore I say: pray aloud or quietly before eating, so that I may bless the food for you, so that your health does not suffer through taking in poisoned food. At the same time it is necessary, My children, that you do not eat to excess, but take nourishment in reasonable measure, always also in the awareness that through this what belongs to nature is spiritualized, and that through taking in nourishment you thus have a share in the process of redemption, both in eating and in drinking.
“Thus you see: when one looks at the things of this world from the spiritual vantage point, everything takes on another face; one sees through the world, one recognizes the world behind this world. And you are to do this too, My children. It is important for you, for then separation from the material world becomes still easier for you; then you distance yourselves even more from material ways of looking at things that bind the human being to matter and thus to death. I wanted to give you this clarification as well.
“And now, since I have spoken of those in the Beyond, I have opened wide the gate to the Beyond so that I may radiate out into the dark world to bless those in the Beyond—and I say to them: `You too are My children, and to you too I call: Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened! I am a God of love. I am ready to receive you, no matter what past you carry within you. I am ready to take it upon Myself and transform it, change it, balance it, so that you may become free, so that you may continue your path into the realm of the spirit, for here is not your home.
“`And to you who do not know that you have long since left your bodies, I say: you are no longer citizens of this Earth; you are citizens of the world beyond. Orient yourselves accordingly; recognize that you no longer bear earthly bodies.
“`Thus with these words I give you this little awakening, so that you too may have the opportunity to separate yourselves from this world and go with those whom I now send to you, who will instruct you and accompany you to the places I have prepared for you.´
“And so you too are to pray, My children, for those who still cling to this Earth, whether family members or ancestors, friends and acquaintances who have departed from this Earth. Include them all in your prayers; tell them of Me, the God of love—and conclude these prayers with: `Father, Your will be done at all times,´ just as you should with all requests.”
Samuel: Jesus says that if anyone has a question, they should ask it.
A sister: I wanted to ask what the Father thinks about praying for one’s guardian angel too and asking Jesus to bless our guardian angel. I do not know how to say it, because I often have the feeling that I should ask for my guardian angel, that Jesus open His heart ever more widely for him, and also for my heavenly family. But I do not know whether that is right.
Jesus answers: “My child, what your guardian angels need most urgently is patience—patience with you. Ask that your guardian angels have patience, for they do not have it easy at your side. They have to watch how, in your frequent wrongheadedness, you harm yourselves when you turn away from Me. That hurts them and grieves them. Yet they cannot and may not intervene; they must watch what you do. They can give you impulses; they can act upon your conscience in a quiet way—but most of the time you do not hear their quiet voice. Just as you do not hear My quiet voice in your hearts amid the noise of the world. Therefore I say again and again: withdraw from the world. Go into stillness. Make yourselves go into stillness.
(Jesus now speaks very tenderly, softly, and full of gentleness) “Into the stillness of your hearts I enclose you, where I wait for you with a whisper: `My child, I love you.´ In the stillness of My child’s heart I am often lonely—a lonely God? Is that possible? Yes, even a God longs for the love of His child. Therefore I ask you as your heavenly Father: take time for these quiet moments with Me. A few minutes, a quarter of an hour, an hour.
“Refuse the activity that presses upon you in that moment, for it is a temptation to keep you away from Me. Lay everything aside and leave the world behind. Whether in nature or in your home: make yourselves comfortable and become completely still; then you will hear My whispering, My soft knocking at the door of your heart. And when you open to Me, My children, then this breath from My mouth will bring your soul to life with a love that you can experience only in this intimate sphere with Me.
“And when you do this, often and ever more often and daily, with consistency in faithfulness and also in joyful anticipation of meeting Me, then it goes very quickly, My children. Then you will experience wonder upon wonder and will think: `My God, why did I not do this sooner—go into this stillness to meet You? Only now do I recognize the value of Your being within me. Only now do I recognize what life and love mean, since You have filled me in these daily encounters in my heart.´
“It is all very simple, My children. Love for Me is not complicated; it is for all people and not only for the clever, the intelligent, the supposedly better ones—for such people do not exist. There is only one God and many children. And I am a God for all. Amen.”
* * *
Jesus speaks in conclusion: “My children, thus I now conclude this day; not that I close My heart to you—no, that is not so. For My heart was opened on the cross and remains open in eternity, and the wound of My heart remains until this creation has been led into redemption, in the regions of light and in the dark regions of infinity. And so on the one hand I meet you outwardly as the crucified Jesus Christ, and on the other hand I have placed Myself within you as the risen Jesus Christ, with whom you too are to rise, so that together we rise from the grave of your flesh. Thus I am eternal life as the risen Jesus Christ, who has conquered death—for each one of you and for the whole of this creation. Amen.”
