Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, when you read or hear that the so-called end times have begun, very few of you can picture anything concrete by it. This is connected with the fact that you have little or no spiritual knowledge and therefore lack the possibility of fitting together the events in your world like the pieces of a puzzle. And that in turn has its reason in the fact that those you know as your church representatives and representatives of the various religions themselves possess no knowledge.
What they have studied and pass on consists largely of teachings and doctrines that long, long ago were robbed of their truth at decisive points. Who caused this? And already we are at a central point: the forces of darkness, or the opposing side, or My adversary and yours — whichever name you wish to use — very early made use of and employed people who, in decisive positions, had the possibility of allowing their ideas and opinions to flow into My teaching, ideas that have nothing to do with My commandment of love. Or they removed important things from My teaching or interpreted them falsely.
However it happened, the result is that large parts of what you believe no longer correspond to the original. And the consequence is that you lack the knowledge needed to respond correctly to events in your personal life and, more generally, in the world. What was intended by this — namely, to leave you wandering around like blind sheep unable to find your own way with Me — was achieved.
A look at what your news brings you every day — even though this is only a vanishingly small part of what is really happening — will let you recognize the correctness of My words. Your world is burning in infinitely many places, even though the fires are still relatively small. But whoever is willing to see can already see now!
The time announced by many seers and prophets, in which the last great struggle for the present between light and darkness is being fought, has begun. In countless revelations I have pointed out to you that — unnoticed by the great majority — the situation is coming to a head. This is the consequence of conduct that does not correspond to the universal law of creation, which is love.
I am love, and everything that has come forth from Me is love! Without exception, without qualification, without ifs or buts!
*
The instructions and explanations I give you are characterized by the fact that they stimulate, indeed require, your own thinking so that My words may also be of help to you. Then you yourselves can follow how everything developed and why it had to come in this way and not another. This is far more important and more valuable for the conclusions you can draw from it than hearing and reading something without participating through your independent and personally responsible thinking.
As a result of the so-called Fall — that is, through the rebellion of Sadhana, who later called herself Lucifer, and her followers against Me and My love — the subtle realms outside heaven arose and finally, because those who turned away did not gain insight and fell ever deeper, the material universe.
Connected with this was a steady reduction of their life-force, because such power is available only to a very limited degree for actions directed against the commandment of love. Yet even the beings from darkness still carry within themselves the spark that sustains life, for without it they would no longer exist. But I do not destroy what My love has brought into life.
On the one hand, the fallen beings were and are without insight, which leaves them poor in energy; on the other hand, they do not want to accept this energy-poor condition. Yet there was and still is a possibility for them to obtain the energy they so urgently desire, though only in small measure: they take it from the human beings they can influence. This can also happen indirectly through souls obedient to them acting upon human beings.
Every person is affected by this in different ways, for no one is continually in such a harmonious condition of soul, oriented exclusively toward Me and My love, that he is not attacked by the forces of darkness. Then, to a greater or lesser degree, a loss of human energy occurs again and again; in the worst case they succeed in turning a person away from his faith in Me or from his path to Me. Then they have not only made such a person poor in energy — something that need not show outwardly at once — but, and this is their actual goal, they have prevented his soul from developing love and radiance.
The consequence is that after laying aside its human body, what you call “death,” the soul is drawn to realms of the beyond that are still more or less under the influence of darkness. It thereby enlarges the army of those dependent upon it, and more dependents mean more energy for those who have the say in those spheres and make unscrupulous use of their power. But the soul notices this only when it “awakens” over there.
The power of the satanic forces, prevailing over a long period, brought with it an increasing disregard for My commandment of love. Eventually a situation emerged that was heading toward the dissolution of creation. A large part of humanity had become so lacking in love and strength that a turning back by its own power was no longer possible. Therefore 2,000 years ago I came into the world in Jesus of Nazareth and thereby stopped what was beginning to take shape. At the same time I let an additional power — My Redeemer spark — flow into every soul and every human being. With this, the intention of the powers of darkness to bring a creation of their own into existence had finally failed.
Your brothers and sisters who live on the opposing side, however, have never given up their struggle against Me and against those who strive to follow Me. They have merely recognized that they cannot win, which did not bring them to insight but instead gave their conduct a different direction — and that direction is unrest, decay, chaos, and finally destruction.
Both the side of light and the side of darkness prepared for the beginning of the end times. Both “camps” sent their faithful into incarnation in increased measure, and not only for years or decades. From My side, largely unrecognized by you human beings, many beings from the heavens and many souls from the higher spheres have incarnated. For the most part they work in hidden ways, often at great personal cost. But the tasks they undertook do not always have to be great ones. Yet the sum of what they do brings much light into your world despite all the misery. This will reveal itself more strongly at the right time.
The opposing side too has not remained inactive and tried, from its point of view, to bring souls through incarnation to the places intended for them “in time,” souls who then as human beings pursued, and especially now pursue, goals that ultimately serve the interests of the destroyers.
It has succeeded well in this, so that today important control points in politics, church, economy, and society are occupied by people who — often without knowing it — are influenced and directed accordingly. You need only look into the developments of recent decades to recognize in them the correctness of My words.

How, then, do those who fight against Me and against you proceed? In every case much more subtly and in many more layers than you can imagine even in your boldest dreams. The great majority of people are helplessly exposed to their constant attacks because they do not recognize, and cannot recognize, the connections. They are and remain blind and are playthings in the hands of their seducers.
Thus, for example, My children from the Fall have succeeded in causing the various religions to draw a completely distorted picture of the “devil,” one that is not understood and is therefore underestimated, with the result that the “devil” can act as he pleases. He very rarely encounters resistance, and in many cases the very existence of a personified evil is denied. All this opens doors and gates for him and his fellow combatants among you.
All the countless spiritual worlds are inhabited: the bright ones by correspondingly developed souls on their way into the light, the dark ones by beings who want to manipulate you to their advantage and who have the say in their realms. Acting on My behalf are, among others, your guardian angels and spiritual guides and teachers. They do indeed have subtle bodies, but they are very much individualized beings. Clairvoyant people are very often able to perceive them.
Those who fell, too, and all who eke out their existence in the astral realms, have their form, which is just as subtle as everything that exists outside matter. They have their character and their individual traits. They are therefore, just like your spiritual friends, absolute reality. You simply do not see or hear them, and yet they live in your midst and are sometimes so close to you that you would be frightened if you knew how immediate their presence was. You would turn away in horror if you perceived their appearance and their often fear-inducing, disfigured bodily forms. At the same time, however, they are capable of appearing very appealing and arousing interest when the situation requires it.
I have given every creature free will, which I will never touch. This applies to all, including those who are against Me. Therefore I will not forbid any being that watches or harasses you from the invisible realm with the aim of influencing or seducing you to undertake and carry out what it has resolved to do: to induce a human child to take the first small or even large steps that are incompatible with My commandment of love. You cannot imagine, not even remotely, with what skill something is set in motion that at first cannot or scarcely can be recognized as an attempt at seduction — and thus ultimately as loveless in the sense of My law — but in reality serves to prepare the way for later acts of wrongdoing.
If necessary they besiege you for a long time, as attackers in earlier times did with a castle they wanted to capture. They are around you; under certain circumstances they enter your aura if they find the opportunity, which depends exclusively on the condition of the soul of the one they are watching. A drinker, for example, they tempt to drink because they, who no longer have direct access to alcohol themselves, “drink along” and in this way satisfy their cravings. The same applies to every kind of passion.
Here the spiritual law that like attracts like comes into play. In many, indeed most, cases an influence is not noticed because it is skillfully prepared and carried out. Darkness makes use of your habits, which makes it doubly difficult for you to recognize the attempts. When its “arts of seduction” finally achieve greater or lesser success with a person, a change occurs in his state of mind, ranging broadly from joylessness to stagnation in his inner development and even rejection of everything spiritual. Feelings of guilt that arise within the person play no insignificant role in this.
The negative forces benefit from knowing you inside and out, generally far better than you know yourselves. They read you like an open book. They enter into your weaknesses, which you often do not know about or do not want to know about, and perhaps cannot know about because you brought them into this life from previous incarnations. They are faults and deficiencies lying in your subconscious and unconscious. For your adversary it is no problem to recognize them. Then, if it is a “larger matter” that seems worthwhile to them, an actual program is designed according to its importance and prospects of success in order gradually to steer the person they have in their sights, without his noticing it, in the direction they desire.
A person without spiritual knowledge is helplessly exposed to these manipulations. But even with corresponding knowledge, none of you is immune from becoming the target of their attempts and attacks. Most of the time you do not notice this, and when you do, it is usually only afterward, when you have “once again” fallen into their traps.
*
From My words it is easy to recognize how important it is that you be willing to know yourselves better and better. Self-knowledge, a wise person once said, is the first step toward improvement. But this first step must be followed by the next: in further reflection carried out together with Me, to look deeper and deeper within yourselves in order to recognize, or at least sense, the roots. And then, for those who have recognized the danger and love Me, the inner work begins …
Among other things, your adversary makes use here of the law of attraction, which means that he directs, for example, your interest and attention toward people, events, or things that have some kind of connection with you, something of which you are often not at all aware. You take a first step — even if only in thought — and then, if you are not watchful, your next step follows through resonance.
If you observe yourselves, you can see that this happens regularly. Naturally, he deliberately chooses small and large weaknesses of character and strengthens them: curiosity, envy, jealousy, greed, laziness, superficiality, know-it-all behavior, insistence on being right, unforgivingness all the way to retaliation, fear, violence, and much, much more. If these traits are not entirely foreign to you — after all, no one on earth is perfect — very often you do not notice that you have “deepened” something or become involved in something that, on calm and closer consideration, you surely did not want in that way or perhaps did not want at all.
These do not even always have to be targeted attacks. The weaker form of attraction is the rule: you enter into resonance with corresponding negative forces that roam the entire cosmos as “impersonal energy fields” and, in their totality, have been the consequence since time immemorial of actions directed against My commandment of love.
None of you, My beloved children, is excluded from this kind of lying in wait and from the constant attempts to move you toward negative conduct. Whoever incarnated consciously because he saw in it a possibility of learning and maturing more quickly than in the subtle worlds of the beyond knew about this, not least through the explanation your spiritual helpers gave you. Nevertheless, the great difference between “knowing about something” and “experiencing something” remains here too.
With its incarnation every soul enters the sphere ruled by darkness. And yet: even in the deepest darkness, light is and remains the power that will remain the victor for all time. Everyone can make use of this power, which in principle is the “simplest thing in the world,” because this power — My love — lives in everyone. He therefore need not undertake a journey to find it. But he must be willing to turn toward My love by striving to change his life where change is needed.
Whoever has made this decision will, on the one hand, discover that with My support much becomes easier for him and that he can say “no” to dubious offers far more readily than before, no matter how beautifully packaged they may be; on the other hand, if he is watchful, he will notice that the fallen beings and their helpers make greater efforts concerning him than at the time when he was still “a child of this world.” This is understandable, because a person who has decided seriously to walk his path with Me is lost to the opposing side. When his soul leaves this earth again, it cannot place him among the great host of those who were not truly interested in Me and My love. Therefore it works on him, under certain circumstances with increased intensity.
But I am stronger still than all the attempts of the seducers!
*
I said that it is important for darkness, when influencing its victims, to let feelings of guilt arise. Creating feelings of guilt is one of its most tried-and-tested means of causing people to stagnate in their faith in Me. The consequences are very varied and can ultimately lead to a person no longer finding the strength and courage to come to Me. Therefore I want to give you a few thoughts on this, and it would be good if you deepened them in the coming days and weeks. They can lead those among you who suffer from feelings of guilt toward Me into inner freedom.
First, so that there is no misunderstanding: Naturally there is such a thing as “guilt” or indebtedness. Stolen property, for example, must be returned, and the debt remains until restitution has been made. The law of cause and effect applies here.
But what about guilt in the relationship between Me and you?
The free will I gave you means that you can do or leave undone whatever you wish without My placing a veto on your decision. This applies to all My children, and it is also the reason why — as mentioned — I do not prevent the seducer from approaching My children.
A small example may help you understand better: A child receives a monthly allowance from its parents. There is no condition regarding what it may do with it. The child has the freedom to use its allowance as it sees fit. If it spends all the money on the very first day, perhaps even on “useless stuff,” then it has nothing left for the rest of the month, but it is not prevented from doing so. For that freedom was agreed upon. It must, however, bear the consequences of spending its money, because the next allowance will not come for another four weeks.
Does it owe a debt of guilt to its parents? Certainly not.
Now apply this example to Me and yourselves. Everything I taught you as Jesus of Nazareth consisted of commandments. There were no prohibitions among them. Never, in any form however hidden, did I teach that you are not allowed to do this or that, or that you must do this or that! They were and are merely recommendations, directions, and helps. Anything else would be, and is, incompatible with My love, which gave you freedom.
I explained to you that long, long ago My teaching was robbed of its truth at decisive points. The assertion that I punish — indeed, even condemn eternally! — belongs to the falsifications that have brought a great deal of inner suffering and conflicts of conscience. For whoever feels guilty can no longer walk his path with Me and toward Me full of confidence and joy, especially when he sees no possibility of clearing his “guilt” or is unsure whether his effort succeeds in My eyes. He has been brought to a halt.
I cannot give you freedom and at the same time burden you with guilt for using your freedom! Let this truth, if feelings of guilt toward Me burden you, fall deeply into you, My child.
I love you. Period.
This is a love you do not yet know, but you will experience it as you come ever nearer to Me on your path, at the latest when you have once again consciously immersed yourselves fully in Me, the source of your life.
My beloved, I do not love because … That is human thinking. I love! And I have placed the same ability in all My creatures, and thus also in you. Every other teaching is the work of the devil. It has caused My children to become estranged from Me.
If you now know that you have not become guilty before Me — which does not mean that under certain circumstances you have committed no wrong — then there is no reason for you not to come to Me with an open heart:
“Father, there I acted wrongly. I am deeply sorry. I want to make it good again insofar as that is necessary and possible. And I know that You will help me. Thank You. I love You.”
Say it in this way or a similar way, in your own words, even when it is not a matter of great things but of patterns of behavior that have crept in over time, usually unnoticed. What matters is that as free children you come inwardly to Me, your heavenly Father, or to Me as your brother Jesus Christ. Even if at the beginning your head is still lowered, after you have been with Me in this way you will carry it upright again.
And if you are made to stumble and fall a hundred times? Then you get up a hundred times! Where is the problem? With regard to Me and feelings of guilt, which do not exist, there is none. Yet it would be urgently advisable to search truly and seriously for the roots of why you can repeatedly be stopped and blocked and thereby robbed of energy. In the search for the reasons and in resolving the causes you recognize, I am at your side as the best friend. Yes, I am the only One with whose help you can change something decisive in the depths of your being, under certain circumstances in your soul.
If you can bring yourselves to do this, then you have seen through the tricks of darkness, which wants to discourage My children by drawing a completely false picture of Me. Take My hand, which I extend to you at this moment. And let us, if necessary, begin anew; in every case My words are meant to help forge the bond between Me and you firmly and ever more firmly. You cannot prevent them from besieging your castle, but with Me you can close every gate and door so that it is difficult or impossible for them to enter. And if it does happen once, something no one can prevent forever: Come to Me; if necessary, flee to Me. Then they must leave you again.
One word in closing: My revelation is very serious. But that should not prevent you from recognizing in it My infinite love, which also applies to My children who at present do not live in the light and who perhaps make life difficult for you from time to time. My love lives in them too. And it is just as unconditional toward them as toward all My other creatures. I love. Period.
Try at least to find your way more and more into this love yourselves. And remember: those who have fallen, and all those who under certain circumstances make life difficult for you, are also your brothers and sisters, and one day, together with you, will again live in My perfection and love.
If you set My love, and thus the power within you, against them and their attempts, that will — in the long term — also be an example and encouragement to them to set out on the way back to their eternal home.
Amen
