Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, responsible parents repeatedly adjust the help they give their children as they grow up. This means that there are indeed repetitions, admonitions, and reminders, but because good upbringing is directed toward a goal, it does not stop there. After all, the aim during the time of physical and emotional maturing is to give children foundations on which they can build and which are meant to prepare them for the life they will one day have to master on their own responsibility.
Do you think I act differently?
For many decades and centuries – if you include the prophets of the Old Covenant, for millennia – I have enlightened My human children about the fact that there is a higher and greater power than their own small and transient worldly rule: that I am their God and Creator, the One who guides their destinies, and that I created laws in which everything is embedded, including their loveless conduct directed only toward their own interests.
Sons and daughters faithful to Me have conveyed messages from My heart to My ignorant children, always with the intention of widening their view and directing it toward the true life that awaits them after their so-called death. Never before has there been so much information and knowledge about life in the world beyond in your world as in this time. Anyone who wanted to find could find; indeed, he had to find, because the law of attraction led him to the sources he needed for his next steps in development. For it has always been true and remains true for all time that I will certainly allow Myself to be found by whoever seeks Me; and that through My presence in his daily life I convey to him: I am here, I am with you!
Anyone who follows My quiet knocking in his heart cannot in the long run be held by the negative powers present in your world, which steer and dominate many people without their noticing it. In order not to lose more and more people, and with them their souls, they had and have to do everything possible to bind human beings and thus prevent them from developing upward. That is their only chance. Truly, they make use of it, and a large portion of My children run into their cleverly laid traps.
My commandment of love, which I gave you as Jesus of Nazareth, I have repeatedly brought close to human beings in every detail, illuminating and explaining many aspects in an understandable way. Repetitions were necessary because the intellect forgets all too quickly and a person falls back into the routine of everyday life; at the same time, however, My teachings became increasingly concrete and increasingly adapted to your time and your understanding. They brought and still bring you the tools for putting into action the knowledge that exists in abundant measure in most of you, that is, for practicing it in your daily lives.
This putting into practice, comparable to knowledge moving from your heads into your hearts and hands, is urgently called for. Why? Because I know what the years and decades ahead will bring. Because I want to arm you and make you strong, for in the coming time the opposing forces will do everything to plunge the world more and more into chaos and terror.
My law permits this, for the barrel called sowing and reaping is overflowing, and the causes that have long been pressing ever more frequently and forcefully toward their effects are spilling out. In this the forces of darkness are not concerned only with impairing or harming you physically; they aim to influence your life after death. For if you do not succeed in remaining inwardly with Me, or in coming into My arms in time and seeking refuge there with a loving heart, many souls after laying aside their material bodies will go into the astral realms and remain there for a while. Their further development will thereby be made more difficult or prevented for a long time.
My words of revelation, given through many of My sons and daughters, have always aimed to spare you these difficulties. Love – and nothing else, the short form of My commandment of love, springs solely from My longing for each one of you and My wish both to spare you hardship and suffering already during your lifetime and to clear the path you will enter as souls.
Perhaps an image can make clear to you the situation in which your world, and therefore every individual one of you, finds itself:
Two sides face one another in a confrontation that has been prepared for a very long time. The outbreak of the struggle lies in the not too distant future, though if you include the preliminary skirmishing – for at present it is no more than that – you can also say, “The struggle has already begun.” The great horrors are still to come. Yet both parties have already positioned their fighters. From “above,” many highly developed souls have incarnated, including some who do not yet live in absoluteness but want to make their contribution toward easing the coming time for all who are of good will. From “below” have come those – also carefully planned – who have an interest in building up and expanding their status of power through decay and destruction. They are vassals of darkness who, through their distance from God and ignorance of My laws, do not know – do not yet know – that the mountain of causes they have already set in motion is piling higher and higher. And the very largest part of My sons and daughters finds itself, ignorant, undecided, fearful, and easy to manipulate, between the fronts.
Anyone who must decide for or against something depends on information, especially as long as his inner feeling does not yet show him the safe path. That is why it is so important that you practice the logic of the heart that I teach you, so that you learn to see through the cunning activities of the opposing side. For it knows very well the value of information with which, if skillfully prepared and presented, very many people can be led astray and then controlled. Whoever obtains a monopoly over the instruments for spreading news and opinions finds it relatively easy to steer people in his own direction, if necessary even under threat of punishment.
The policy pursued by church princes in distorting and misrepresenting My teaching of love, for example, still shows its devastating effects centuries later. But in the absence of other sources – apart from the teachings of a few men and women who lived in My Spirit but in many cases were eliminated – people were dependent on what was not only offered to them as allegedly My teaching but almost always imposed upon them as well.
Not much has changed in the method of exerting influence. Your technical possibilities today, however, also give a voice to those who hold a different view and can substantiate it credibly. This poses no great problem for the forces of evil: they scatter their “truths” among the people in many ways, and the people often accept without examination what is put before them. The parable of the man who sowed good seed and then had to discover that his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat aptly describes this happening.
Measured against medieval times, you do indeed have the possibility today of hearing and reading much outside what is officially offered, but one thing cannot be spared you: searching for and finding the truth-content within the great supply of true and false information and finally making a decision. This applies both to the many transmissions “from the spirit,” a large portion of which are not from My Spirit, and to the information policy concerning the current events that determine your daily life worldwide.
Much contains half-truths or untruths, but they are not simply presented crudely. In most cases they are prepared so skillfully that they appeal to the often unconscious, hidden wishes and ideas of many people. For the satanic powers too know the inestimable value, threatening to them, of the logic of the heart, which makes people free and enables them to decide and live on their own responsibility. They therefore employ their countermeasure:
Without the person noticing it, his interests are addressed so that he is willing to follow the prescribed direction. That is why I have said several times, not without reason*): Whether you see through a matter or situation and assess it correctly is not so much a question of intelligence as of your interests. Most readers or hearers of My words passed far too quickly over this truth. With sufficiently honest reflection it would have told them much about themselves. But it is never too late …
Among these interests is everything that serves to avoid fear: fear for health, for one’s own life, for the life of relatives or dear fellow human beings, for the loss of jobs or livelihoods, for the loss of freedom, for the loss of leisure and enjoyment, and much more. In the spiritual realm: fear of punishment by God, or of an eternal existence in hell after death, or of blows of fate because of sinfulness, or of no longer being loved by God, and, and, and …
Working with fear has always been a proven instrument of the opposing forces. Most people, however, would deny that they too are affected by it if it were pointed out to them. It is the instrument that not only promises the greatest success but also produces it. And at the same time it is the opposite of what I teach and offer you: security and a sense of being sheltered for the one who entrusts his life to Me, who puts My commandment of love into practice in daily life, and in this way follows Me.
If you practice exploring the cause of your fears and begin with Me to work on their roots, then you bring your fears out of their hiding place and, in practical terms, bring them into the present. Then give them to Me and, in the next distressing situation that wants to frighten you, remember that I am with you. I live in you! In this way your fears gradually dissolve in My light.

In a time such as this, My beloved, one that has never before existed in the history of humanity, it can no longer be merely a matter of providing you with still more facts, for example about life after death, or giving you pleasure with descriptions of future beautiful and luminous planes. Such knowledge is indeed also part of it for many, but – even if My word seems very serious to you, perhaps too serious to some – it is now about more, at least for those among you who sense that the “time of milk and honey” is over, as I put it recently.
For a long time I have given, and continue to give, much knowledge to the world so that people may understand the connections, comprehend the meaning and purpose of their earthly existence, and lose their fear of dying. I will continue to do this; yet those who until now have not only read My words but also internalized them will meanwhile have realized that very much is at stake. Many whose longing in their hearts I have been able to address do not need detailed knowledge anyway. They have recognized the truth that I am love, and through their daily effort they have set out on the path full of trust, even without knowing how I will arrange things, how I set the switches, both in their present life and in their life beyond.
A prayer – in substance, with these or similar words – “You take over my life; You know best what is right for me” creates a childlike, trusting foundation that guarantees everything will develop in the spirit of My love and care. Anyone who then carries in his heart the certainty that everything that is good for him as a human being and for his soul will now happen experiences a clear reduction of the stress that was previously still present, or it dissolves completely in the awareness of being safely held in Me. The physical effects will be correspondingly positive as well, for your scientists have long since established that stress is a major cause of many illnesses.
Developing such an inner attitude is a high goal that cannot be reached “with ease,” and certainly not by merely consuming spiritual literature. It presupposes, My beloved, that what is read or heard is put into practice; at the very least there must be a serious effort, which I support to a high degree. The need to work on this becomes more important from day to day for all who have recognized the seriousness of the time.
Blessed are those who, according to their possibilities, have included Me in their lives or will soon do so. Blessed are they because, full of trust, they walk toward Me and My outstretched arms. In this way I can guide them most safely. The decision for such a step, however, must be made by each person himself on the basis of the freedom I have given him. My Christ-love waits to be called upon and accepted.
Because spirit governs matter and not the other way around, the immune system of the soul also stands above the physical one. Evolution did not create without reason in plants, animals, and human beings an immune system intended to help protect against disease-causing intruders. Human beings alone, who unlike plants and animals possess a fully developed soul, have a spiritual defense system that I call the immune system of the soul.
As the “crown of My creation,” the human being possesses the ability freely to decide what his thoughts revolve around and where his ideas and wishes go, thereby at the same time strengthening or weakening his immune system. If it is largely intact, it can ward off invisible attacks from the subtle realm. Its radiance is transmitted to the body’s immune system because spirit stands above matter. The “higher” a person therefore vibrates, the more luminous his spiritual radiance, the more powerful his immune system is as well, and the more capable it is of building an effective defense against the many influences of disease-causing agents.
Darkness naturally knows this too. That is why it begins here – here too:
By seducing you unnoticed in many ways, the strength of your soul is reduced. In this way darkness achieves, on the one hand, that you burden your soul and, on the other, that you endanger your health acutely or over the long term. Damage to health serves the opposing side insofar as a person, because of pain and suffering, often also in connection with harmful side effects of medication, becomes dissatisfied and unfair. He then increasingly seeks compensation in worldly things and runs the risk of losing faith in Me. In his ignorance he often quarrels with Me and breaks with Me, and not infrequently makes Me responsible for the destiny he created for himself.
Even when it does not go that far, many, because of their lack of enlightenment and practice, are nevertheless unable – often also unwilling – to practice self-knowledge and thereby, with My support, recognize that the causes are to be sought and found wholly or partly in their own behavior.

Anyone who approaches you in dishonest intent, visibly as a human being or invisibly as a spirit being, while trying to conceal or hide his true motives, will always proceed according to the same pattern:
First he will try to awaken your interest. If he succeeds, he will take the next step and make the matter attractive to you. If this too succeeds, you are then not far from seriously occupying yourselves with the subject, the idea, the project, the person, the hoped-for pleasure, the promised advantage – or whatever it may be. He has you “on the hook”; the first step of seduction has succeeded. Let us call it fascination. It serves as the entry point for the steps that follow, of which you still have no inkling, much less knowledge. At this stage they must remain in the dark, because otherwise there is a danger that the seduction will not reach its goal.
This is how darkness proceeds. This is how every exertion of influence begins, leading in the next phase to a greater or lesser dependence that makes it easy for your adversary to begin his manipulation unnoticed. In many cases he succeeds because you do not know this method or are not attentive. And by no means are only obvious addictions meant. The tendency to exercise power, accumulate wealth, seek worldly prestige, and much more also belong to the repertoire of seduction.
And when an event then arises that frightens you, consciously or unconsciously, because you fear losing some or much of what is still so important to you – what then? Then you are forced to make a decision, one way or another … Your interests will decisively influence your yes or no.
The negative forces always have a clear result in mind: to bind you to ideas and habits, to views and ways of acting that in themselves represent nothing evil, but that serve to make the human being unfree. This in turn means that, for example in difficult situations or times of crisis, he can no longer freely decide for what is good and right, which he would previously – that is, before the bond was formed – have chosen.
In the final phase, the deliberately created bond, which is scarcely or not at all perceived as such but leads to still greater dependence, the person has lost an often large portion of the original freedom I gave him. Seen in this way, every weakness of character represents a bond, especially when it has been cultivated for a long time. But it is not only the human being who has allowed himself to be bound. Since throughout life he continually shapes the condition of his soul through his inner feeling, thinking, speaking, and acting, the soul too no longer possesses the freedom originally belonging to a child of God. Such a process can extend across several incarnations, strengthening or weakening along the way depending on whether the person pursues selfish or selfless goals.
According to the law that like attracts like, after physical death the soul then goes into those realms beyond that correspond to its nature, its vibration. In such cases these are often the astral realms that attract a bound soul.
A bond, of whatever kind, always leads a person to try to keep what was important to him during life or gave him a certain security. If this behavior has perhaps been practiced for many decades, it can have become a rigid corset without which the person can scarcely, or no longer at all, live contentedly, relaxed, and happily. It has become part of his thinking and acting; often it also forms the basis of his financial existence, and he is afraid of having to give it up or give up part of it. Letting go of what has become dear then becomes very difficult to impossible. In the worst case he regards everything that wants to take away his illusory security as a threat. Fears of loss spread within him.
The only way to free yourselves from recognized faults of character = bonds is to turn toward Me and give your life’s path a new direction. Under some circumstances, however, letting oneself fall trustingly into My arms can mean extremely hard work for the human being. For he does not know what awaits him. “Your will be done,” especially when such words come from the heart and are not merely spoken with the lips, is no longer an alternative for him in such a phase of life.
The satanic method, the creeping, unnoticed seduction through the stages of fascination, dependence, influence, manipulation, and bondage, has borne fruit – though not for all time.
*
My sons and daughters, in a few sentences I have described to you the danger that exists at any time for every human being. Much more could be said about it. Yet this is enough to encourage vigilance in those who strive to put My commandment of love into practice. In your time it is doubly important to follow events with an alert mind and not allow yourselves to be seduced into false conclusions.
Remember that the opposing side tries to manipulate you through fear. Examine yourselves to see to what extent My explanation concerning bonds applies to you and your life. No human being is free of bonds. They are the price your soul pays upon incarnation when it enters earth, the domain of darkness. The risks are great, but so are the incomparable opportunities to leave earth again enriched by many experiences and purified. The next rung on “Jacob’s ladder” leading into heaven has been reached. For this nothing more is needed than love – and nothing else.
If you wish to reflect on your bonds, on the one hand do not be too strict with yourselves – I release every bond that is handed to Me with an honest heart! – but on the other hand, calmly go a little deeper. Not all bonds can be found at once. If in your heart you pray in substance, without becoming uncertain or perhaps even troubled or fearful, “You take over my life; You know best what is right for me,” then you are on the best path toward freeing yourselves from what the world offers you with a seductive smile. Then, with a sigh of relief, you can let yourselves fall into My arms in the certainty: Everything is good!
Then fears will no longer assail you at the thought of having to let go of this or that. If it is good for you, it will remain with you. If letting it go helps your soul, I am the One who gives you the strength for it. What you then place in My light can no longer frighten or burden you. And darkness must let you go because it no longer has power over you. Your bonds have been released by Me on the basis of your decision.
At present you are indeed a child of this world. But try to be in this world without being of this world.
Change the world, even if only in tiny pieces or steps, by remaining positive. But be careful! This does not mean the false positive thinking that denies reality according to the motto, “Everything is good.” That does not move you forward; on the contrary, it leads to deep disappointment. The time is difficult and will become still more difficult.
Remaining positive means looking the facts in the face and recognizing what will come and must come as something difficult, as calamity, but not allowing yourselves to be pulled down or frightened by it. Remaining positive means taking your place in the knowledge that I have everything in hand and make no mistakes, filling that place to the best of your ability, and passing on with love and encouragement to those who need help and comfort what I place within you.
*
At the end I give you one more thought that you may deepen if you wish:
You all know the term “no-win situation,” which describes a situation that appears hopeless and cannot be resolved one way or the other without the greatest difficulties, massive losses, or destruction. Humanity as a whole has maneuvered itself into such a situation, one that no longer offers any possibility of emerging unharmed.
This may raise in some the question of what Jesus, who knew a solution for everything, would have done under these circumstances. The answer is simple, and it invites reflection:
“He would not have gotten into such a situation.”
Amen
