Divine Revelation
My revelation today is meant to be a help to all those of My children who find it difficult to accept the events in their lives with full trust, who rebel against them, who doubt that the stages and situations along their life’s path are founded upon My divine justice, and who therefore not infrequently reduce their faith in Me to a minimum or even lose it altogether.
It is their ignorance of the divine-spiritual laws that moves them to such conduct. And this ignorance in turn has its cause in inadequate or false instruction by those who claim to be able to lead My children onto the right path to My heart.
For this reason their faith is often a blind faith that is not questioned, that is content with teachings which, deep down, the human being does not understand. He resigns himself to the statement that God does not reveal His hand, that God has His mysteries, and that human beings therefore will not learn or be able to understand more than what is offered to them as so-called truth. There is only one truth, and it is this: I, your God, am love! Everything that does not correspond to My law of love with its many aspects is not of My truth.
It is My will that more and more of My human children awaken, that they loosen the fetters that hold them in ignorance and bondage. Only then can a life of personal responsibility be shaped, filled with love lived out, in which knowledge becomes wisdom that ultimately determines how they deal with themselves and with their fellow human beings.
What causes My children to doubt Me and turn away is, on the one hand, the false interpretation of the law of sowing and reaping, also called the law of karma, which leaves people standing helpless before their destiny because its effects are shifted exclusively into an unexplained existence after death; and, on the other hand, the lack of explanation of the uninterrupted growth of every soul and every human being established in the plan of creation, which makes the individual steps within this process of maturation indispensable. Everything develops toward one goal: the return home to the Father’s house.
Every single stage must be traversed, every necessary phase of learning must be passed through so that soul and human being may purify and strengthen themselves, their consciousness may expand and the required experiences be gathered, they may increase in love and wisdom, and in this way be drawn more and more strongly by the high vibration of heaven.
I will reveal Myself today concerning this aspect.
What humanity lacks is knowledge of this evolution and therefore the acknowledgment that everything a human being encounters on his path of development is good for him, because no lesson can be pushed aside unfinished, which would be equivalent to skipping a rung on your “ladder to heaven.”
The tasks that life sets before each person are of different kinds in the various phases of life, but also in individual situations. This is connected with the condition of each person’s soul. Your past, shaped by each individual himself in this life and in previous lives, determines the path that lies before you—with everything beautiful and less beautiful that belongs to it. Since each person has a different past, there are no two identical paths that move you forward and eventually lead you back. Each one has to recognize, work through, and perhaps also bear what comes upon him because it concerns him and, according to the law of attraction, is therefore attracted by him alone—and not by his neighbor.
Whoever makes this knowledge his own, whoever lives with the conclusions that follow from it and at the same time is deeply convinced that I make no mistakes, that the clockwork of My creation therefore functions smoothly, must come to the conviction—for himself, his family, for every individual human being, indeed even when looking at the events of your world: Everything is good!
This is undoubtedly a challenge for many, one they do not wish and will not wish to face. But with a little reflection they too could come to the conviction that it cannot be otherwise. It is true that many tasks life presents to you will not be regarded as pleasant or easy to master—which is understandable from a human point of view—but nevertheless it cannot be that arbitrariness, inadequacy, and injustice prevail in creation, for under such conditions creation would long ago have ceased to exist.
My creation—and there is no other—is built upon My law, which is absolute and perfect. And it is governed by My lawfulness, which is love! There is no other law that stands above everything else, encompasses everything, gives life to everything, and stimulates it toward uninterrupted growth. At times it may appear as though darkness were able to place its own rules alongside Mine as equals or even override My principles. But truly, I tell you, it cannot! These are no more than attempts, often only sham battles, that will never reach the intended goal.
Whoever does not know the connections, whoever has not learned to look behind the scenes, can perhaps be frightened or at least discouraged. But then he also does not know that love—not merely in the abstract but in reality—is a force and a power to which nothing compares, which can be touched or surpassed by nothing and no one. Nor is he aware that every violation of the law of love inevitably results sooner or later in a reduction of the energy—which I, life, am within everyone—even and especially in those who violate the law. Through their actions they weaken themselves. Remember this when you look at the world and harbor thoughts of revenge toward those who for a time—apparently, without anyone restraining them—rule the world.
That is why love will be victorious! But unlike a conflict among human beings, there will be no losers. For the defeated will not be subjected by the use of force; rather, they too will leave the “battlefield” as winners—because unconditional love has finally led them to insight, to abandoning their wrong conduct, and to turning back.
On the path at whose end this goal awaits everyone, there is still much to do; I have never concealed that from you. But I have also given you the promise that in everything you do, you are never alone.
Because My law is My will and can be touched or restricted by no power, the path I have intended for every soul and every human being as the way home cannot permanently be blocked or made impassable either. Attempts to prevent the progress of soul and human being have always been made and will continue to be undertaken with great zeal in the future. For those who are against Me also have their free will. They are the ones who make life difficult for you—you believe! But that is only half the truth. They can do so successfully only if they find a way to penetrate your protective shield—which consists of your love for Me, for your neighbor, and of your good intentions. If this protection were perfect, no being would succeed in coming so close to you and pressing you so strongly that you could be influenced and seduced. So much for theory.
In practice, as is well known, things look different. Much in My human children is still unfinished and still needs recognition and the right decision, transformation and the practicing of new ways of behaving. These necessary steps are not necessarily initiated by the law of cause and effect. It comes into force only when, for example, through lack of insight, persistent lovelessness, unwillingness to forgive, ruthlessness, and much else, another solution no longer works. Most of what life therefore presents to you as lessons does not have the law of karma in the background; rather, they are impulses that you receive, for example, through people or situations in the course of the day in order to awaken, pause, reflect, and change something.
No one is excluded from this principle of receiving impulses. Even if he were to withdraw to a deserted island, he would not truly be alone. He takes his inner feelings and thoughts with him. I remind you that everything is communication—in the invisible realm far more than in the visible. Like attracts like; and whoever feels and thinks thereby sends out energies unnoticed that seek what is like themselves and unite with them—for good as well as for evil. How much more strongly these processes take place when you are engaged in everyday life or your profession.
New bonds are formed and old ones loosened; new causes are set in motion and effects flow out; your vibration changes constantly. It is a colorful kaleidoscope of energies, but also of radiations from astral beings and shining angels who are around you, who want to move you toward what is positive or seduce you toward what is negative. The switches are constantly being reset, old paths are closed, new paths open.
All of this is invisibly around you; it makes up a part of your life, the part that as a rule you do not know, do not even suspect. But it is what moves you, what tries to move you forward. Through it tasks are brought to you, it is what challenges you, and—it works within My law.
If you ask Me, perhaps looking timidly or anxiously into the future, “Father, what do I still have to learn?” then I answer you with a smile: “That, My child, which you have not yet mastered.” You understand what is meant: Since none of you is perfect, everyone still has lessons ahead. What has been learned and thereby mastered is no longer a task; rather, successfully handling such a situation is fulfillment. So if such a circumstance comes upon My “practiced” child, My word “Everything is good” will not be called into question. On the contrary, it evokes gratitude for the successful completion that at an earlier time would not yet have been possible in this way. It is different when something does not proceed quite so smoothly and without friction. Those are the difficulties waiting for you, so that by mastering them with My help you become strong and can bring the problem to a solution. They are precisely the learning processes your soul needs in order to become more mature and more luminous! That is why they confront you.
This step-by-step lesson is spared no one, whether he has consciously set out on the path to Me or is still far from Me. The tasks are different, the circumstances are different, the help I can give is different—but the necessity is the same: gradually to climb these stages of one’s own development. This applies to the individual human being, to families and communities, to peoples and cultures. If you transfer what I have told you about energies and communications concerning the individual human being to the world and its events, you must stand speechless before the picture of the movements taking place there on a large scale, movements that to you are impossible to survey because they exceed your understanding. And the earth is only a very, very small part of the material cosmos, and the material cosmos is only a tiny part of the whole creation …
And yet I hold everything in My hand and lead everything to its completion. Thus it is grounded in My order, thus My will shall accomplish it, thus My wisdom shall guide it, and thus My love shall crown it!
With this knowledge it will become easier for you to acknowledge the heights and depths of your life as necessary, even if you do not—or only rarely—recognize why this or that happens to you. It is not decisive for your progress that you know the background. What is decisive is that your trust in Me becomes firm and firmer and finally unshakable; that you do not merely assume with your intellect that everything is good—and that everything will not only one day become good in the distant future—but that you anchor in your heart that every single step is necessary because it is important and must not be skipped; that I lead you step by step, and that all your steps are watched over.
Seen from this perspective there can be no detours. They are merely stretches that your human self must travel because, for lack of insight, it was not yet able to take the somewhat shorter or easier path. To accept “detours” because they promote maturation bears witness to wisdom.
To whoever still does not find it entirely easy to internalize My revealed word at once, I give one more image:
You intend to build a house. If you want to do it properly, you begin with solid planning, you make preparations of many kinds concerning financing, craftsmen, and much more. At that point none of this has much to do with the goal that has been before your eyes the whole time: a comfortable home in which you will live contentedly and happily. But you also know that all of this is necessary. As an individual step—taken out of the greater whole—some things cannot be recognized as important or meaningful, and yet no component may be missing. In moments when you are worn out and tired because you yourself lend a hand, standing in dirt, struggling with water, mud, and stones, you think: “What am I actually doing here? I only wanted a beautiful home”—until you emerge from your low point again, look ahead, and make yourself aware that you will reach your goal only if you omit not a single phase of your building activity, not a single task, however difficult it may seem at the moment. And then there is also the architect—figuratively speaking, Me—who watches over everything, who encourages you again and again, and who strengthens within you the joy of what will soon stand there completed …
My beloved sons and daughters, I call you this because you are from Me, because My home is also your home; it is the inheritance waiting for you. You will be able to take possession of it all the sooner, the more honestly and deeply you turn My words over within you and let them move you in the future to reject no situation in your life any longer.
If you release the “brake” that until now has hindered your progress through questioning and doubt, then I can and will lead you to your goal more quickly and effortlessly than before.
I love and bless you. Amen.

In this connection we remembered something:
There is a wonderful poem written by H. Sack (1902–1943) shortly before his death in Stalingrad. The first stanza, representative of the entire content, expresses how deeply rooted the conviction can be that God never makes a mistake. And how deep the love and how unshakable the trust not only must have been, but truly were!
If the ways of my God should seem strange, mysterious, hard to me, and wishes cherished in my heart sink quietly in a sea of care; if dim and heavy drags the day that brought me only pain and grief, then I may call one thing to mind: That God never makes a mistake!
Acknowledging the faultlessness of divine laws brings with it, on the one hand, a feeling of security and trust never known before, which—depending on the seriousness of the decision—sets in for one person after only a short time, for another only over a longer period, but in every case has a profoundly positive effect. For it follows from this that under no circumstances can any human being ever suffer an injustice, anywhere, at any time, or in any way.
On the other hand, this also entails an uncomfortable consequence for all of us, and for some perhaps even a frightening one, of far-reaching significance: faultlessness also means, when thought through consistently to the end, that no one else bears responsibility for all that has happened, is happening, and will happen to me—except myself.
