Divine Revelation
I am in your midst with My angels, just as it has been promised to you: wherever My human children gather in My Spirit to worship Me, their God and Savior, in humility and gratitude, to praise and glorify Me and give honor to Me, the King of kings—there I am truly present.
Unspeakable splendor of heavenly light fills this place and many other places and floods the soul of each one of you and of all the children who do as you do, no matter where in My creation they may be. I, your Savior, let no one go away empty-handed; I provide you with all the healing gifts from My boundless love.
Oh see, out of love I, the Uncreated, Eternal One, brought forth from within Myself all that exists: the heavens, which are your true home, populated by countless purely spiritual beings who are solely an expression of the immeasurability of My love and whose whole being and activity are the glorification of their Creator and His works.
Out of love I allowed all that lies outside the wall of light enclosing the purity and perfection of the heavens to come into being. Your temporary home, earth, which I adorned with a shimmer of the glory of the heavenly worlds and which, out of its love for My creatures, brings forth everything they need in order to preserve them—it is the place of greatest significance in the material cosmos.
My will chose it to be a place of grace for the fallen children, a place that—traversed in different human incarnations—helps each one, on the way of working off burdens, experience, and the unfolding of the capacity to love, sooner or later to recognize and repent of the burden of his lovelessness, to ask forgiveness and forgive, to make amends and overcome with My assistance, and then, as a being permeated with light, to continue his way home in higher spiritual realms.
One day the earth will have fulfilled its great service to My own; it will lay aside and transform its material garment, and its purely spiritual being will return to the heavenly place from which I once took it for the great plan. Then the great work will be completed, the work that once began with the one purpose which all My messengers of light promised to serve: the return home of all who have fallen into the Father’s house, into the realm of perfection, which knows neither shadow nor night, neither pain nor suffering, neither fear nor tears. Then all beings will have found their way into fulfillment, the absolute unity of all being in Me, the Father.
According to your earthly calendar, the time is approaching when My own celebrate Christmas. You commemorate the event of My birth into the darkness of this world—a truly holy moment in the history of the human race on earth. For I, the Creator of all being, took birth in order, in a body of flesh and blood among My beloved, to perform works of merciful love and through My sacrifice free them from their yoke.
Although the scriptures and prophets spoke of the coming Messiah, only a few were able to sense the all-embracing significance of that revolutionary moment, which was to point the spiritual development of the human being on earth toward a path henceforth directed heavenward. This was possible only through My divine power of love; only the power of My love was able to prevent the dissolution of My divine creation from taking place as intended in the demonic purpose of the adversary.
Oh recognize this: the love of your heavenly Father, born into the little boy Jesus, took upon itself the task of stopping and reversing the development toward the dissolution of all that had been created, and thereby making possible for every fallen being the return to the realm of perfection.
Many of My own feel deep reverence when contemplating your representations of the so-called Holy Family, surrounded by peaceful animals, deeply moved shepherds in worship, and the Wise Men from the East paying homage to the child in the manger and giving honor to Me, the King of all kings. And as it is written, they were startled by all the strange and wondrous events that accompanied My arrival. The light and rejoicing of the heavenly hosts of angels accompanied the events of that consecrated night, for truly, all creation bowed before Me, its God and Creator, whose act of love initiated the redemption of all who had fallen.
Against the background of this, My teaching, can all those of My children maintain their ideas who to this day believe in the regression of all creation and the dissolution of everything that has taken form back into the flowing ether from which it was taken by My creative will? Did I not, on the contrary, say: “Go forth as My disciples and proclaim to all peoples the good news of the return home of all who have fallen into the Father’s house”?
What significance, My beloved, does each one of you give to the Christmas event? Is it merely a beautiful, sentimental biblical story that year after year puts you, My child, into touching rapture or blissful childhood memories? Oh see, Christmas and its meaning should be more than that for you; for I did not come so that, after the end of My earthly life and the great act of grace on the cross, I might take away, remit, or even undo the sins and misdeeds of My own and thereby prepare a soft pillow for their future spiritual sleep. I came to show and prepare the way home for My own and to tear the gate of heaven wide open for everyone who wishes to open heaven within himself and pass through the gate.
My human children restrict their worship far too much to the little child in the manger and finally to the tortured One on the cross, only then to turn away again and let their usual daily life run its course, believing they have thereby fulfilled their so-called Christian duty. Truly, My child, the life of Jesus Christ, your Lord and Redeemer, from that first to that last breath was a perfect example of unconditional love and mercy, an example of everything that you too, on your path on earth as a child of God, should strive to fulfill.
Therefore to this day, and also in the future, My admonishing call resounds through the ages: Follow Me, you and you and you too, My child! Awaken from inertia and helplessness, awaken from your darkened state, awaken from the sleep into which the staggering world of transience casts you anew each day before its deadly fall suddenly tears you from it, and enter the path I taught and walked for each one of you, so that your steps may lead heavenward.
Whoever among you possesses a deeper understanding of what happened on that consecrated night knows that he must undertake the effort to walk the way of selfless love: love for yourself, My child, love for your neighbor, and love for Me, your heavenly Father; and therefore also for everyone who is hostile toward you. For only in this way can you draw nearer to your goal.
I want to be consciously born within each one of you. I want to find entrance into your heart in order to accompany, support, and protect you, to guide you and carry you toward your fulfillment. Use the days that are given to you, for truly, I tell you: you cannot measure the greatness of the grace under which your sincere effort toward self-knowledge and the deeds of love stand in this time.
I taught and teach you the laws of love so that you may look at your life in their light, so that soul and human self may find inner calm and the peace the world cannot give you; so that realization of truth may enter and the power of My love may take the lead in your life, if this too is your will.
There is no other way to show the world that you are My male and female disciples and therefore credible examples than to let pure, truthful love determine your life and shine through you. Remember that precisely in this special time it is not solemn songs and words flowing from your lips that pay homage to the child and praise Me, the Godhead within Him, but the stream of love for Me, your Father, for your neighbor, and for all living things, which springs from your humble heart close to Me and thereby also gives your songs living content.
Then, My beloved, you speak from your deepest inner feeling: Oh, rejoice, my soul, for the Savior, my rescuer and Redeemer, is born within me. Glory be to God in the sanctuary of my temple. Glory be to God in the innermost being of my neighbor, and glory be to Him alone who is life within all that has been created in time and eternity.
My love enfolds you, and My peace fills you, My sons, My daughters, and My children. Amen.
Divine Revelation
This, My love, prepared for you the way home of which I have just spoken. Many of My human children still misunderstand this, for this way home is an offer that must be accepted, and the way home itself must be walked.
In these weeks My birth is celebrated with many songs, and in stories and poems attention is directed toward the arrival of the Savior. Everything is directed toward rejoicing and exulting because God Himself came into the world. As I have so often before, today too I reminded you that the meaning of your Christmas celebration is missed if it remains merely—as happens throughout the world in many forms, some of them completely distorted—at shouting and rejoicing, without the expressed joy being followed by deeds. So, for better understanding, I want to give you an image:
A new day dawns, and many of My human children rejoice at the rising of the light, describe details of this event in many ways, and proclaim everywhere: The new day has dawned, the light is here!
In doing so, most do not know—because they were not taught—that this new day is meant to serve for carrying out the many tasks awaiting them. But whoever leaves it at merely rejoicing over the day, singing about it, and still doing so at midday and even at sunset, and speaks only of the fact that a new day has dawned, has not understood what the offer of this new day was and is.
Many people are in this or a similar situation, including—or especially—those who believe in Me; throughout their lives they direct all their attention toward the breaking of day.
For two thousand years, during the Christmas season and in the weeks before it, this way of viewing things has been cultivated because the opposing side understood how to misrepresent the meaning and purpose of My coming, My life, and My redemption—and thereby lead part of My children astray.
The day offers each person many possibilities for realization and for work on himself with the goal of bringing about a change. And there must be a change, for you know the words: “Whoever wants to enter the heavens must carry the heavens within himself.” The one within whom longing burns does everything possible to reach this goal—heaven within himself—already during his lifetime, as far as this is possible for him.
This desire for change, the effort toward self-knowledge, and the laying aside and transformation of recognized faults and weaknesses with My help are naturally a thorn in the side of the forces of darkness. So they do everything they can to block this way, make it unrecognizable, even present it as impassable. In doing so they exploit human ignorance, which makes their intention enormously easier because they can then exert their influence unrecognized from the invisible realm.
Because the activity of these opposing forces is not known, indeed is even denied by many of your church authorities, most people do not know that in their lives they have become playthings of dark forces and powers from which—if they could see them and had their activity clearly before their eyes—they would turn away in horror. This ignorance is extremely dangerous for My children, for whoever does not know in what way he is being attacked and manipulated cannot defend himself against it.
I have told you in many revelations that both good and evil forces continually try to influence you. The negative forces make use of the correspondences still lying within you. If, for example, a situation is brought about that represents a learning process, it is certainly not always easy to recognize this immediately and respond in the right way. Here darkness intervenes by inciting you to respond wrongly in terms of love, namely out of your human nature; by seducing you to strike back, weave intrigues, spread rumors, and answer aggression with aggression—in short, to repay like with like. The moment a human being reacts in this way, he becomes the loser; for evil cannot be fought with evil. By evil, in the broadest sense, is meant everything that does not correspond to My divine commandment of love.
If you want to experience miracles, My child, then you must not place yourself in the way of the stream of life, which is love. Let us look together at what these words mean.
The true struggle over every individual soul takes place in the invisible realm; and one side’s move is followed by the other side’s move. Heaven tries to guide your destiny so that, on the one hand, you learn from it and, on the other, you suffer no harm through the situations that arise. As a rule, you do not know what is arranged by one side or the other either to harm you or to move you toward right conduct in the spirit of love. In practice you are like a traveler in fog who must rely on well-meaning guides or on seducers whom he scarcely perceives, if at all. You believe that from what you see you can draw the right conclusions; yet in the way life presents itself to you, you see only the tip of the iceberg. By far the greater part of what determines your life is “negotiated behind the scenes,” prepared by forces well disposed or not so well disposed toward you, depending on which of these influences you give power over you.
You see, My brother, My sister, that the assumption that what presents itself to your senses is your life could not be more mistaken. I am the only One who has the full overview of what is good and right for you and your life. And so it may be that My love has paths prepared for you that you do not understand at the moment—not yet. But precisely along these paths flows the stream of life, My love.
If you now act in self-will, if in situations where you are provoked, angered, or treated unjustly and corresponding traits arise within you, you respond in a merely human way, then you block the stream of My love that wants to enfold and protect you. You place yourself—not only theoretically but quite practically—in its way.
The way you walk on this earth will, on the one hand, confront you throughout your life with people and encounters that challenge your self-will and your corresponding traits. On the other hand, I am the One who speaks into you again and again and reminds you to follow the law of love even when you do not know how this or that situation can be resolved so that everything turns toward what is good. If you are convinced that there is no greater power in all creation than love, then from every event—whatever its kind—only love can emerge victorious. And with it all those who place themselves under this law and serve it.
Your conduct, then, My child, determines the flow of My love in your life. To know these things, work with them, and use the energies of the day is more than merely greeting the day with rejoicing and being glad that the sun has risen and there is now light. This light wants to serve you while respecting your free will, and it wants to move you to walk the way through the day together with it so that in the evening you can look back successfully on the stretch of road you have traveled—and so that in the evening you do not still have to be celebrating the appearance of the sun.
Think wisely about these words. They are spoken from the infinite love of the Father, which I—Christ—am within the Father. This love, which you commemorate at Christmas, came into the world to bring its children the strength to walk successfully the way I have just shown. Many of My children have recognized this, and many have opened their hearts and sent their longing heavenward; My love flows to them in an unimaginable measure. They are the ones who no longer stand in the way of the stream of life, who no longer block it, but who in deepest trust can say: “Father, living Your laws is not only possible; it is something wonderful.”
To this love, to this experience, to this intimacy rooted in the deepest ground, I want to bring and will bring all My children, for as I told you: love will prevail, and with it all those who have become children of light. Amen.
Divine Revelation
I see the joy flowing from your open hearts, and I tell you: it is the joy of heaven. Joy is part of love, and therefore I desire that My children go joyfully with Me through their daily lives. In this way I can let My strength flow to them, I can touch them, I can raise them up; then I am infinitely near to them.
Keep this joy; take it with you into the coming days, and always remember: there is no moment in your life in which you are alone, for the greatest power of heaven, love, dwells within you. If that is not a reason for joy!
I accompany you, My beloved, and I bring each one of you safely to his earthly destination, just as I will bring him safely and unharmed to his heavenly destination.
I bless you, I remain with you. And because I know that you will ask Me to bless your food, I hold My hands over it and let My light flow into all that you have prepared in love. And even though you are now ending the official part of your gathering, know this: I am here, for I am everywhere hearts turn toward Me. Amen.
