My Christ-Love as Strength for Your Journey Home

Divine Revelation

I am with My own wherever they gather. My divine stream of blessing love and healing light enfolds all the places where they come together, wherever they may be on this earth; and above all I touch with it, with particular strength, My beloved children—My sons and My daughters—who turn toward Me, the eternal Godhead, their heavenly Father, with longing and humble hearts.

Oh, open the gates of your inner being so that, strengthened, built up, and encouraged, you may leave this place again and carry outward the healing granted to you in this hour, giving it through your thoughts, words, and works of love to everyone and everything you encounter on your path.

Truly, never before have My own needed the support of the heavens as much as in your time. Therefore I, the Shepherd, call and gather all sons and daughters who once set out to walk the earth as My messengers of light precisely in this time, to be signs and witnesses of the almighty and merciful love of their Father in heaven.

Let yourselves be called, you who are My flock, and awaken; for it is I, your Father.

My beloved child—you, My beloved daughter, and you, My beloved son—hear the word of your Father, which wants to awaken you, encourage you, but also admonish you to look at your life in the light of My universally valid truth, so that you may then recognize who you truly are, what measure of creative power I, your Father, have left you as an inheritance, and what self-chosen task you brought with you into this incarnation.

Another Easter lies behind you, My beloved. Fleeting, like the human being in his outward form, is many a festival emptied of meaning that he celebrates as long as he does not strive to fathom its deep inner significance and take this as an occasion to establish a tangible connection with his own life.

See, I, your Lord and God, walked the path through this matter not only to bring every fallen being the message that unconditional love cannot be overcome, but also to make this visible through My life and work in the midst of My brothers and sisters.

“It is finished,” I said on Golgotha and ended My life as a human being. Yet in that moment I gave the soul of every child an additional portion of My power. Since then this spark of Christ in the depths of every soul, near your heart, has acted as a mighty divine support of energy on your journey home to the Father’s house. Through this redeeming power, the return of all fallen beings to their original state as purely spiritual, conscious beings of light became irreversible.

Truly, the immeasurable Fatherly love in Christ has redeemed you, and without exception every one of My children finds the way back to My Father’s heart—sooner or later. Yet the steps there, the steps on the path that opens the heaven within you again, must be taken by each individual in freedom and selfless love. They are unavoidable and precede conscious union with Me, the one God, your heavenly Father.

Whoever is pure of heart will find fulfillment and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Wherever My child may be situated in this world, whether on this side or beyond the veil, in whatever race, culture, or religion it may believe itself rooted: these, My beloved, are only outward differences, conditioned by the level of consciousness and the condition of the soul.

Seen spiritually, there is only one truth: that every fallen being rests eternally in Me, the primal ground, and—I repeat—will return there again as a conscious, purely spiritual being of light. This is the immovable truth from Me and at the same time the law that applies to each of you until all who have fallen have found their way back to My Father’s heart.

The time in which you live wants to bring all of you a great step closer to this goal. Even if the dark clouds of coming events and upheavals pile up before you as threatening shadows, even if human creation and the madhouse of humanity are destined for decline and the human being, despite his resistance and all his intellectual achievements, is unable to prevent it, know this: in My entire creation there is no chance, no arbitrariness, and no chaos. Everything that happens is embedded in My divine will, My order, and My wisdom—and all the more so every one of you, My beloved, for you are part of Me.

I tell you: “Awaken, but do not be afraid.” Let My word and My teachings become support and provision for your journey. I guide and protect, I comfort and heal you, and My love for each one of you is without limits in time and eternity.

Even when My word is urgent and serious, it nevertheless flows from the Source of love that I am, from eternity to eternity. Amen.

Divine Revelation

The eternal truth that I will draw a l l My children to My heart is founded in My love for everything; indeed, it is love itself. None of My children will be lost. Rather, when each child has once again opened up within itself the love that dwells there, it will be with Me for eternity.

Infinitely many books have been written, sermons and speeches given, and opinions exchanged about what I am, what My will is, and what I taught as Jesus of Nazareth. Yet—with a view to the return of all human beings and souls to their original home—what is truly decisive can be summed up in one sentence: I, your Creator and God, want to foster in each one the development of the capacity to love. For according to the spiritual law that like attracts like, in the end only the one who carries heaven within himself can enter heaven—that is, the one who has again become the love that has lived within him from eternity.

Whoever sets out to develop his capacity to love knows that he must change. Change is unavoidable, and the One who helps you, My son, you, My daughter, in your change—if you want it—is Me. But: I do not change you against your will!

Hidden in this is wisdom that I want to explore with you at least to some extent. Once more: I am the power that changes you, but I do not do so against your will.

Now you will say: “Father, but I do want it. I have given You my yes; I have given You many of the negative qualities I have recognized—and yet often I move forward only in tiny steps, or not at all.”

Let us look into that.

A person’s behavior resembles a surface, for example the reflection of water that beneath it is very deep. And similar to what your physicians do in their field, in what I call inner work the symptoms are very often confused with the causes. It is pointless to tinker with the symptoms when the causes have not been recognized and removed. That would mean “polishing” the surface without paying attention to what is happening underneath.

But if your behavior represents a symptom, there must be motives for your thinking, speaking, and acting, something that moves you to behave one way or another. Thus the effects of your motives appear as the visible surface of your character—and thereby become obvious to you and your neighbor. The motives are therefore the causes of what shows outwardly. But as long as these motives have not been recognized—at least in their beginnings—and transformed by My love, you can polish the surface as long as you wish: you do not truly change. Yet you do want to change because you love Me, because you yourself want to become love again, because you want to return to Me, to My heart! I feel your longing and your love.

Do you want to come to know yourself and internalize the process of self-knowledge even more deeply? Then for better understanding I will give you an image.

Let us assume it is obvious that you lied or concealed something. In the end you cannot avoid admitting that something was not right. What kind of apology would it be if you went to your neighbor and said: “Please forgive me for misrepresenting or concealing this or that. I am sorry.”

What you are apologizing for was already known anyway. If you now want to learn more about yourself, if you want to begin the process of self-knowledge and at the same time—as you say—lay your cards on the table, so that afterward you can be measured by what you reveal about yourself, then you will apologize for your motives. You will disclose what is going on within you and with you, what caused you, what drives you, so that finally the symptom of lying, concealing, or misrepresenting appeared on the surface.

Such an apology would be honest. It would reveal quite a bit about you to yourself and also to the other person or persons, and afterward you would be under the obligation to change this character trait. For when we speak of developing the capacity to love, this always means refining your character, letting your nature become more loving, radiant, and positive; thus not leaving it abstract, but becoming very concrete and recognizing: here is something that does not yet correspond to love.

For you human beings a new problem appears here that you often underestimate: the difficulties of such self-examination lie in the details. And this means that you often do not recognize that, for example, a habit—even when it appears to have nothing to do with striving for the capacity to love—nevertheless violates My laws.

Another example: let us look at disorder.

You might say: “All right, Father, order is of course important too, but isn’t it much more important to love my neighbor?” And already you have fallen into the trap.

There are many areas you push aside or in which you do not recognize that they too belong to love. If you are sluggish or indecisive so that you hold yourselves back on your path through life and in the development of your soul, this too is a failure to follow My laws. The same applies to superficiality, excessive ambition, dominance—indeed to all the countless facets of human character. Or can one truly love yet not want to give? Or direct more attention toward oneself than toward the other? Or bask a little in one’s own glory instead of helping and serving?

There are many such examples, all of which are meant only to make you aware that it is not enough to cover something up on the surface. Nor is it enough simply to hand a behavior over to Me with the request and hope that I take it from you. What good would it do you if, for example, you gave Me your jealousy while inwardly continuing to carry around the same motives that led to your jealousy?

Whoever wants to return to My heart must become love in the depths of his soul. He must look honestly at which areas within him are still undeveloped. And then—with his free will—he can decide to change and come to Me. He will no longer say, “Father, here, take my jealousy from me,” but with My help he will recognize what kind of

power games, for example, he is playing and what wanting-to-possess aspects lie behind them. Then he will set about changing t h i s thinking and this consciousness that led him into his situation, with My help—if he has first freely decided to say goodbye to these motives rather than merely to the obvious symptoms.

To bring about a change requires a surge of spiritual energy. There are several ways such an impulse can be triggered. With the recognition of having done something that does not befit a son or daughter of God, deep and sincere remorse can arise, which—if necessary—is joined with bitter tears. Figuratively speaking, such a child kneels before the inner altar, before My altar, and I look upon My child full of love and mercy.

In such a case the desire for change is so strong that no deep exploration is needed of where the causes lie. The mighty surge of power from My side comes because of the sincere desire to make something right and to act differently in the future. But I ask you: “How many situations have there been in your life that shook you so deeply that you became a different person on the spot?” As a rule, it is not so. As a rule, it is also not necessary for misconduct to be joined with such deep remorse. But then, My child, how can you reach the motives that so often let you become a plaything of other forces? You will not be able to avoid looking at yourself and taking an honest inventory—of differing intensity, depending on the frequency and seriousness of the misconduct.

What I have shown you is what I called “development of the capacity to love.” It presupposes your desire to become love again. But I will stay with the example of jealousy: the desire alone, joined with the corresponding request not to be jealous anymore, is not enough. There must also be the desire and the will to look into the character traits that produce this jealousy and let it rise to the surface.

If that is your will, My child, then in Me you have the best helper you can imagine. Here I intervene by showing you situations in which you understand what lies beneath the surface and acts from there into your outward behavior; also by bringing people to you who want to help you, and much more.

This is what I mean when I say that I prepare the ways for you so that you recognize the direction in which you must now go. And then I go with you.

Treating the symptoms would mean turning in place. But if you decide to come to My heart, then I am the One who comes infinitely many steps toward you, who helps you, comforts you and—when necessary—also gives you a painful insight, but I am always there. I always enfold you in My love, My hand always rests upon your head, and again and again I speak into your soul: “Come, My child, the two of us can do it. Give Me your yes, give Me your will—not for a superficial change, because beneath it you would remain the same old person, but give Me your yes for a change of your human self, so that the true child of love may increasingly come to light.”

In this way you fulfill what you promised and bring many with you who have been waiting for you to be an example to them.

I bless you. My power of love flows to every one of you, and whoever wishes will be led by Me step by step into situations that show him what until now, despite all his good intentions, prevented him from putting them into practice. And then, My dear ones, place your hand in Mine—and let us go. Amen.
