Divine Revelation
I, your heavenly Father, the Creator of all that is, have entered this room among My children because I am drawn to those who invite Me into their midst. I shine into your open hearts; feel Me within yourselves, feel the holy stillness, and you will sense how you change because I raise your consciousness.
Wherever I raise My word, countless of your brothers and sisters from the realms of souls are present, for they too thirst for My love and for the path that leads them home into the light. Therefore today I will speak to you about a subject that is equally important for My children beyond and on this side.
Truly, you live in a time in which many values are being turned upside down, in which violence and cries of war are increasing. The world stands stunned before a development that by now many sense will not end well. People find it difficult, even impossible, to recognize the working of My love in all these events. Uncertainty and fear spread within them, and they fall into unbelief because they can no longer find Me in worldly chaos. They ask, they lament, they cry out in despair: “God, where are you, if you exist at all? And if you do exist: Why do you not intervene? Do you not see the misery and distress? Do you not see where the ship is heading?”
Truly, I tell you, all these cries for help, all the prayers, but also all the accusations reach My ear and My heart. And it pains Me when I see how many children fall away from faith in Me and deny Me. And only because they cannot recognize in these events My love, which governs everything.
But I am in everything, for without Me there is nothing. I am the life in all creation, and therefore also in everything that happens.
As I have often told you, absolutely everything is subject to My law, and My law is called love! That My human children do not understand it is because they have a false image of My love and My laws. When they hear “laws,” they think of severity and harshness. Yet order is the more accurate expression—order and justice. Above all, however, My mercy reigns.
The forces of darkness, which have fought against Me and My own since eternities, have succeeded in keeping humanity in ignorance. Only for this reason can accusations against Me, rebellion, and turning away arise, because scarcely anyone knows the background and the working of My law in every action, however small. People see only a short stretch—a fragment of a very long phase of development—that may last scarcely more than a few hours or days, perhaps months or years or even an entire life, but that nevertheless represents only one tiny link in an infinitely long sequence of events and lives.
Whoever directs his gaze only toward a small period of time cannot recognize the great whole and must arrive at a false assessment of My actions, of My love.
The correct interpretation of the law of cause and effect has been and is withheld from you, so that when sowing and reaping are spoken of today, people always project them into the future, because hardly anyone knows that he also has a past, perhaps a very ancient one, that reaches from yesterday into today and determines tomorrow.
To arrive at a correct assessment of what is currently happening on your planet, it is not enough to look only at a few past years or decades. You must become aware that infinitely much that has not been atoned for is acting into your time. Whoever does not know about the repeated embodiments of souls because he believes in only one life cannot see the connections clearly.
I have so often enlightened you about the fact that the soul continues to live in the worlds beyond, and that by its own decision it takes hold of the possibility of an incarnation in order to live what still wants or needs to be lived, or what literally presses it toward incarnation. In the positive case it is the desire to learn and mature; in the negative case it enters a new earthly life with the will to take revenge, spread violence, sow hatred, and accumulate and exercise power.
The opportunity for rebirth in the flesh springs from My grace. It is not a punishment; it is My helping hand to My children so that they may perfect themselves step by step. But the opposing side uses the possibility of reincarnation for its own purposes.
Whoever does not recognize or make use of the many opportunities life offers him to grow inwardly with My help, whoever perhaps burdens himself beyond the measure he has carried so far, will sooner or later enter a new earthly life after having remained for a “time” in the beyond.
It is a cycle that extends from life on earth through a life in the subtle worlds, then through another earthly life, another return to the beyond, and so on. It is a wheel in which many souls have been moving for eons because they do not want or are not able to recognize the necessity of further development and therefore also do not take the helping hands extended toward them to redeem them from their condition.
But maturation is not the only thing accomplished in an earthly life; it is also often connected with paying off earlier burdens. This means: what was caused in previous lives and was not or could not be made good, what a soul therefore took upon itself as guilt, may flow out in the next life, or only in one of the later lives. In doing so, the soul or human being is very often confronted with those with whom he was involved in conflict and discord of every kind in earlier lives.
This often very long process of repeated confrontation, which is subject to the law of attraction, is not in accordance with My desire; for I want My children to find their way home.
That too is one of the reasons I give the world instruction upon instruction, although the scope of the subject is so infinitely great and so many-faceted that I can convey only fragments of it to My children, because their consciousness is not yet sufficient to recognize the complex connections in their depth. But whoever takes the trouble to explore My words, which I have given for hundreds of years in many places on this earth, will recognize the picture that slowly becomes complete; he will learn to follow the thread that runs through the centuries and millennia. And he will come to understanding.
The cycle of life and death must be interrupted, because otherwise the soul cannot find the path into the light. But how can it be interrupted when violence is answered with violence, hatred with hatred, unforgivingness with unforgivingness? When, for lack of enlightenment, people know and seek no other solution than to act against their neighbor with the familiar means of their previous mistaken conduct—including and especially the means of war—and thereby take new guilt upon themselves? And the wheel turns and turns …
Can you imagine why this is so? Who it is that keeps the wheel in motion? If it is not I, there is only one answer: It is My adversary and yours, who lives from the energies released through oppression, hostility, conflict, distress, fear, and much more.
What is happening in your world today is therefore nothing other than this: those who were victims in earlier times incarnate and now appear as perpetrators; those who, while remaining in the worlds beyond, could not come to insight and did not want to forgive. The humiliation and rage over what was done to them directs them from within, out of their souls. The “perpetrator-victim game” will repeat itself with the roles reversed each time until at least one of the two parties comes to insight and no longer “plays along” with the unforgiving “game.”
What, then, is the right course of action for easing and finally resolving the problem I have described? Must I remind you that as Jesus of Nazareth I taught and lived nonviolence? That I taught love for one’s enemies? Probably not. But I may make you aware that when you strive to walk in My footprints, nonviolence belongs to what you are to practice until you can finally live it.
For if those who want to follow Me do not put an end to the endless turning of the wheel of cause and effect by extending the hand of reconciliation—even if in the eyes of others they appear as losers and weaklings—if not they, then who should do it? Must not those who love Me from the heart—and therefore do not merely carry My name on their tongues—and who have the desire for peace in their hearts also be able at times to take a step back?
There is no other way to stop the wheel and bring peace to your earth than through great and courageous hearts that forgive and ask forgiveness, that refrain from striking back, even while accepting apparent and momentary disadvantages. My mercy is waiting to become active to a far greater degree than before as soon as I recognize in hearts the readiness for understanding and reconciliation. In very many cases, however, human self-will prevents My law of love from taking effect more powerfully because human freedom of will is sacred to Me and I do not touch it. I remind you of My word: Whoever serves the law is served by the law!
Those who give credence to My teachings and strive through their lives to come into the light think not only of the healing of their own souls, but also of that of their brothers and sisters who do not yet have this knowledge and these helps and are helplessly exposed to their ignorance and its consequences. And truly, I tell you, in the worlds beyond there are legions upon legions of souls living in darkness, driven by their desire for revenge or ignorant of what has happened to them at all. Your attention and love should be directed toward them as well, for they are, as I have already said, your brothers and sisters. What can you do for them?
I have more than once asked you to pray for those who live in pitiable conditions in the beyond. Every prayer represents an energy that reaches the other person and makes his existence a little brighter and easier. Do not forget this service of love for your neighbor. But beyond this you can do something else, something similar to what is happening at this very moment through My enlightenment in My revealed word: You too can enlighten your brothers and sisters in the beyond about what has happened to them.
But now pay very close attention to My words:
Pray for them and enlighten them, but under all circumstances avoid seeking contact with souls in the beyond out of curiosity or misunderstood helpfulness, perhaps even with the intention of being able to communicate with them. If you read that this can indeed be a help, as is spread in various literature, recognize that such an invitation does not come from My wisdom and My truth, but is intended to entangle you, make you unfree, bind you to forces from the beyond, and weaken you energetically.
There are souls who have gone into human incarnation with a corresponding mission. They possess special strength of soul and, because of their task, also stand under special protection. And I not only desire it, but I tell you that it will come to pass, that more and more people will awaken in My Spirit who recognize this task for themselves and fulfill it. But never try to accelerate this process through self-will! Go again and again into prayer. Come again and again to Me, lay your love at My heart, and leave your inner development to Me—exclusively to Me, and to no one else. For I am the only One who knows you through and through, because I live within you!
And if it is indeed to be that you have taken on such a task out of love for your neighbor, then I will be the One who leads you step by step toward this task, in the way your inner development permits; you will recognize the right time. From all other efforts—to use one of your expressions—keep your hands off them!
Pray and enlighten, and place the healing of souls in My hands. If you do this in the right spirit, then on the one hand you are protected, and on the other you contribute much to making it possible, already in advance—that is, before beings decide upon a new incarnation—for much to be recognized and worked through over there, so that many an incarnation that might otherwise have ended in violence or under difficult conditions need no longer take place at all, or may take place in another, better way.
Whoever strives to follow Me will recognize at the latest now that this is, amid the chaos spreading over your earth, a far more difficult task and a greater challenge than it can be practiced in times of peace. But true love and true endeavor show their face and their sincerity only when matters become serious—just as I lived it before you.
My beloved sons and daughters on this side and beyond, I radiate My love toward all of you, I strengthen your souls, and I give you courage. Live with Me! Experience the joy of our inner fellowship. Experience the sense of safety, and grow more and more into deep, unshakable trust. I am the guarantee that you will find your way to My heart, for I love you.
Amen.
Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, yes, truly, I tell you—and this again and again: You are born of My love. Therefore there is no separation between Me and My children, between Me and My creation.
Why, do you think, do I repeat this again and again, in different words, through different instruments, yet always with the same content? Examine yourselves, My beloved children, to see whether this statement, this truth of Mine, has already become firmly anchored within you. Are you aware at every moment, with every breath, that you are alive? That you live from Me and in Me?
I know your answer: “Lord, how is that supposed to work in my fast, often hectic daily life?”
And yet I would not speak with you about it if it were not possible for you. I want—once again—to give you a few pointers.
Your monthly meetings in this community, reading My messages or exchanging thoughts about them, shared prayers, or even a quiet meditation charge you, as it were, with divine energy and refresh your spirit like a cool fountain on hot days. And the more intimate your surrender, the more your heart too is touched by it and blossoms with love. Yet you also experience how this energy diminishes again after a few days have passed. Scarcely noticed, it slips through your fingers again like sand.
I have already given you many pointers about what you can do to keep Me in your consciousness, to include Me in your life. From time to time one or another of My children remembers, takes this inwardly, and does it.
Today I want to give you one more very practical piece of advice. Remain connected with one another even when, after your meetings, each of you goes his own way again. Exchange thoughts, for example, through your means of communication—not with the usual empty phrases, but heart to heart. Tell one another where you have “included” Me in your daily life, where you have made progress in putting My words and guidance into practice, where through a life in My Spirit you were able to bring about changes.
If until now the emphasis of your exchanges at your meetings has been on reporting when and where you are lacking in one way or another, then try how it feels when you report from fullness. Let fullness flow. Share with others your joy about your life, about Me in your daily life. Joy is contagious and spurs people on. What one person has succeeded in doing, the next can also take up and bring to success; or something already achieved is thereby confirmed.
Go through the day with Me in your heart, in your thoughts, and at My side. Include Me in everything you do. Do not hide from Me when you believe you have failed. I see you always. And no matter what you do or leave undone: I see you with the eyes of love!
So remain connected with one another in your daily lives as well. Look around; look into the eyes of the brother or sister standing beside you. Do you know that person? Do you know how he or she is truly doing? Are your prayers for the whole world really real if they “rush past” the person nearest to you? Walk more than before hand in hand with your brothers and sisters with whom you are connected in My Spirit. Then you stretch out a net of love with great radiance and power of attraction.
Then you too will become fishers of people, as I once was together with My disciples. At the beginning we too were only about as many as you are in your group. But see how many the net encompasses throughout the world today. And I, your Father in Jesus Christ, am and remain in your midst.
Amen.
Divine Revelation
Your Father raises His arms once more over all of you—over you, My beloved children in the garment of earth, and likewise over you, beloved ones in the garment of the soul.
Give Me your yes within yourselves, and I promise you: I will take you by the hand and guide you on the path destined without exception for every one of you. And here I do not say, as many among you do: The path is the goal—no, your path, which you walk with Me, has a goal! And this goal is My heart, this goal is My arms, this goal is the return of each one of you to the home from which you all once went forth.
No one is excluded from this, not you either, My son, not you either, My daughter, even if you hear My word in unbelief and still have doubts whether this God—the God of love who is your Father—whether He will truly guide you; whether He will take you by the hand and help you take the steps that lead you out of all need, all distress, and darkness.
Truly, I tell you all once more: I am who I am, your Father, who with power and love, with wisdom and justice, knows how to lead every creature back to its origin.
So go, turn toward the light, and take the steps I will show you. I love you, My children, here and there, and I bless you.
Amen.
