Jesus, our Savior, You have called us into this circle. And we, Your children, long for Your word, in which You offer us Your love. Your word is only the garment of life, but when we receive it into our hearts, the Spirit within us is set in motion, and the light that You have placed within us is kindled by the Spirit of Your word. Thus our souls are touched by this light, illumined and increasingly permeated by it. Deeds, as You keep telling us, are the vitality of the word. When we act according to the word, then we become alive in You; then You become alive in us.
Jesus speaks: “Yes, My vitality divinizes your souls. Something great happens when I rise within you, My child. It cannot be measured by human standards, what I give to My children, to the little flocks that I have gathered around Me upon this Earth and whom I call together again and again to train them, to guide and lead them through the darkness of this time. Yes, I sent you forth as lights; as lights of My love you are to work upon this Earth.
You are not to do as the people of the world do, who shape their lives in self-righteousness and self-love; rather, you are to serve Me in love. You are not to repay like with like. You are not to look at your neighbor’s faults and walk across this Earth with punitive thoughts, but in merciful love you are to touch the darkness and answer thoughts of hatred and envy with love. That is your task.
And also be patient with yourselves, for I cannot open everything in you all at once; you would not be able to bear it.
The soul is opened room by room and led, piece by piece, ever more deeply into the awareness of My presence. And so this path through time increasingly becomes for you a path into eternity. More and more, the realm of time will open for you and reveal to you your immortality.
Everything you do together with Me is done for eternity. You are not to do as the people of the world do, who perform works only for time – for the abyss of time devours everything. They pass naked and with nothing into the world beyond. Everything they did was service to matter, but matter devours everything and everything sinks into the jaws of transience.
But you, My children, are already doing the works of eternity, enduring works that will never pass away. Every work of love, every step together with Me, is done for eternity. Every thought you give Me is a thought that will never pass away in eternity. And so I gather your thoughts like pearls, and I string each pearl onto a necklace, a spiritual necklace of pearls that you will one day be allowed to wear and that will adorn you in eternity. Therefore think of Me very often and draw Me into your awareness through your love for Me.
Yes, I am always with you, but you must recognize it; you must firmly believe it even when you do not feel Me. Yes, this thought often rises within you: ‘My God is so far from me, I feel lonely … my God, why are You not with me, why have You forsaken me?’
And I say: My child, I am always with you. For with that particular sentence I spoke on the cross, ‘My God, why have You forsaken Me?’, I took upon Myself all the forsakenness of all My children for all eternity. In My agonizing pain I lived through the pain of every soul caused by separation from God; yes, I entered into all the soul-forsakenness of this creation and thereby bore it and atoned for it on your behalf. In that eternal moment I brought it about that none of My children would ever again be forsaken by Me, for I atoned vicariously for all your forsakenness and placed it into My redeeming mercy. I proclaimed this from the cross for eternity.
And so you see that My presence with you is eternal, uninterrupted – from My side. But, My children, it is always up to you to open this door into My presence. Take this step; hear My knocking and My calling.
I call all of you by your names … in the stillness, in withdrawal (Jesus now speaks softly and quietly), when your awareness comes to rest in love for Me and all your thoughts lie down to sleep, I step forth to you, spread out My arms, and a sea of love springs from My breast, in which I enfold you … that is My Fatherly joy.
Yes, My children, these are words of love that I speak to you, words meant to touch your hearts. And yet I also speak serious words to you with the question: My child, what actually distinguishes you from a person of the world? What do you do differently? Which paths do you walk that the world also walks? Ask yourself: Where is the difference from the world in what I do and think, and in what I leave undone?
I will gladly illuminate these questions for you and show you the difference that exists and the difference that does not yet exist. And I tell you: There is still quite a bit to do. The path of divinization cannot be measured by human standards. And yet this is a special time; many of My sons and daughters I have now sent to this Earth – you are part of them. Therefore, in this special time there is a special training and also a special completion, in the sense that I bring about, supplement, and complete much that until now was reserved for individual children of God.
You know them and often read about the saints or mystics, about the enlightened ones and prophets, about those who gave My word through the ages – they were always exceptional people. And now it is so that there are many exceptional people, in the sense that I have sent many into this time with an apostolic and prophetic commission. Amen.”

Samuel: When I was in the forest today, Jesus showed me something: Our souls are like a stage with a black curtain. Behind this curtain are all our hidden worldly attachments, addictions, everything that does not belong within the divine. Then I said to Jesus, “Why not simply take this curtain away so that we can see everything that is within us and then clear it all out?”
He replied that if He did that, all our negative energies would crash down upon us at once and we would not be able to bear it. It would be an avalanche of dark energy coming out from behind that black curtain. Therefore He can only open a small part of this curtain at a time, and those are the moments of temptation in which we are placed in challenging situations. For that reason He says: “Rejoice when I open a part of this curtain and you thereby enter situations in which you must struggle and wrestle for love, for then something comes out from behind this curtain and can be redeemed. And so another part of this curtain is opened each time, and step by step you come to redemption.”
And when the corresponding dark energy behind the curtain has been redeemed, the curtain turns white at that place – actually a translucent white – and the divine light behind it already shines through in places. And when the whole curtain is white and permeable, the light can shine through completely, permeate us, and then everything in the soul has been cleansed.
I saw this image so clearly, and it is so illuminating. And therefore we should actually rejoice when we enter a temptation, a challenge that demands everything of us, in which we are to bear or endure something patiently and in which love is to triumph. For everything must be cleansed; otherwise we do not enter into being taken up into the Spirit.
This will now come upon us more intensely. And it is extremely important that we banish from ourselves every fear of the future. For fear of the future is always mistrust toward God, a breach of trust that we commit toward Him. There are still so many fears within us concerning the future. The whisperings of the devil – the worries and anxieties about our well-being – are meant to make us afraid and throw us off balance.
And when fear involuntarily rises again and again, we can give it to Him and say: “Dear Jesus, please take this fear from me, fill me with Your love, grant me security in You, for in Your security fear has no place.” Yes, when we are secure in His presence, there is no darkness. Then we are completely free, and within this freedom also rests the awareness of immortality. In divine security rest immortality and eternal life.
Look, Samuel: Now there are very many angels standing around us, as far as the eye can see, spirits in white garments, each holding a burning candle before himself. It is a sea of spirits; you cannot look far enough to see the rows come to an end. These beautiful angels worship Jesus, who stands in our midst. And they say that they are lighting our way home.
Jesus speaks: “You, My sons, My daughters, I have now laid My hands upon all of you in this circle; I have blessed you all. I have reached deep into your hearts and touched them; I have touched you with My Spirit. And so I stand here in the midst of this room as your heavenly Father, and yet at the same time I am God, the Almighty, who governs the universe. And so it is now, My children, that the center of this creation, the enlivening center, proceeds from this room because I am standing here. And the great Cosmic Man, consisting of countless galaxies and shell globes that form his atoms – this infinite, vast realm of creation – is now being enlivened from this place.
Human understanding cannot grasp it. The worldly person will laugh at it and mock those who have this faith in Me, that I am God, the Almighty. But only where I am, where I stand and walk and love, is there life. Eternal life streams from Me alone and fills the universe, creation, and everything within it. Everything comes from My heart. And for you, My children, I have opened a very special chamber of My heart. And while everything streams from My heart and enlivens creation, I lead you into My heart, into divine life, into the only life there is. For apart from Me there is only darkness and death.
What people regard as life on this Earth and elsewhere, My children, is death. And what people regard as death, the laying aside of the body, is the entrance into spiritual life when one has lived and loved rightly. And so you see, everything is reversed in this world. Therefore I keep saying: Look at the world through My eyes; see everything in the light of My love, and then it is good.
To take you into My arms, My children, is My joy. To walk with you across this Earth and show you this and that, to say: “My child, look here; see it this way. I will show you how you must and should look at it rightly so that your soul remains in the divine vibration, in divine peace.” That is My joy.
And there are not many; it is only a small flock scattered across this Earth that is prepared to sacrifice and consecrate its life to Me and to serve Me. I have called many; I have named many names; My call has resounded over this Earth and penetrated many hearts. But who has heard it, who has heeded it?
You have heard it. And this call has kindled your longing, and your longing has become love. Wonderful. The only path there is. Amen.
And just as I once made a covenant with My people Israel, so in this time I make a covenant with the small flocks that I have called together. And so I now make and renew the covenant with you. And this covenant shall be a bond of love among you and a bond from your hearts to My heart. A bond that the world cannot tear apart; and a covenant that is to endure beyond this earthly life for all eternity, this covenant and this bond between the heavenly Father and His children.
I tell you this, My children, for with you I now make this covenant and bind this bond, valid for all eternity. Therefore live in this trust and in this love for Me, so that this covenant may find its fulfillment in your hearts and in My heart, My covenant with the new people of Israel. Amen. Amen. Amen.”

L. prays: Most holy God and Father, in Your name we wish to stretch out our hands so that through Your grace the streams of blessing may be sent forth, that there may be light and warmth may shine in the hearts of all creatures. Through this may the air and water be blessed, all visible and invisible things down to the smallest atom. In this we include all the peoples of the Earth, from every station, from beggar to king. We wish to remember all beings, the blessed and the unblessed, so that everything may become one through Jesus’ love, power, and mercy, and that serving love may be lived out. Let it happen, Lord, in Your most holy will. Amen.
A. prays for a deceased friend: Dear Father, I thank You for gathering us in Your love. And I had already asked You whether P., who has not been deceased for very long, would also like to be present. You know, my Father, he was a very loving man with a strong faith. And I would like to ask You: “Are You with him, dear Jesus? Will You bless him and lead him onto the right path, so that he too may partake of Your kingdom and Your love?” Without You we are nothing, Jesus. I would like to place my whole life into Your hands. Thank You, my Father. Amen.
Jesus answers: “My son, I love this brother just as I love you. I make no distinctions, and yet it is always the human being himself who decides to what extent My love can flow forth on the side of mercy or on the side of divine law.
Now, this brother has a gentle heart. And a gentle heart is always ready, but the direction of the soul’s consciousness must agree with the heart. For this it is often necessary to lead a soul along certain paths so that harmony between soul and heart can come about. These paths are often connected with great effort, but also with much joy. And so be certain that I will lead this brother, whom you have taken so deeply into your heart, in such a way that he too can one day enter into the blessedness of My love.
Why do I tell you this? You, My son, have prayed. And when a child of My love prays for another child, then I receive this request into My heart in a special measure. You too should know this, My children: your prayers possess a different power from those of a person who lives in shallow faith, who simply prays along without knowing where his prayer goes or whether it arrives.
But you know where your words and your intercessions go. You direct them straight to My heart. That is a great difference. And so it is that I take the prayers of My children especially seriously and always place them into My mercy. You should know this. Recognize the power of your prayers as children of God who are becoming. I add this as well. Amen.”
