Divine Revelation

I am the merciful power of love that dwells among you and blesses you; the power that adds its share to all your prayers—and I encourage you to continue them after My revealed word—so that light may arise in every being and in this world.

My beloved sons and daughters, beloved children, you have lifted your hearts to Me so that I, your heavenly Father, can place My divine gifts—the power of My eternal love and truth—deep within you.

Truly, it is the power this world needs so that every individual being may find and walk the way back to the Father’s house, its origin and destination. What source—apart from the Source that I, the Most High, am—can bestow upon you such gifts from the primal light? Many of My children believe in the most varied sources; and not a few others deny any source at all from which life flows to them.

Truly, I tell you, there is only one origin from which life flows to all spiritual and material existence and thereby sustains it. It is the heart of the eternal Godhead, who is also Father-God and Mother-God to you. If I were to interrupt even for a moment the current of the power of love from My heart, or even let it cease, all life would have to lose its existence in that moment and dissolve at once.

I am the living element in all existence; outside Me and without Me there is nothing. This means that all worlds of infinity, everything you perceive spiritually or materially or are unable to perceive, is in its primal ground of divine nature, since My divine vibration of love dwells within all existence and forms, as it were, the primal substance of all existence.

In each one of you, in human beings and souls, this holy primal spark—highest-vibrating spiritual energy, purest light—is eternally present as an unchanging core of being. And therefore, My beloved, every one of you is a temple of My Holy Spirit, a temple of My immeasurable love.

Many of My children, however, ignore this spiritual truth and want to know nothing of the fact that they are of divine origin and thus of the highest spiritual nobility. This came about, as you know, through various negative developments among My own that are guided and supported by every means by the powers of darkness. Human imagination can scarcely picture their contrary intentions and goals, the dark means and ways they use for this purpose. Unrestrained and mercilessly the opposing forces rage, and without inhibition they act upon everything they can seize. For they sense that the days are numbered in which this is still possible for them in this world.

My law of love and My divine will, however, will take away the fury’s power so that this earth will no longer be its realm of rule.

The victory of light is certain and unavoidable; for, My beloved: what is darkness? What is your matter? It is divine light of love with its polarity reversed, holy primal substance transformed downward to the lowest state of vibration. Everything, however, that has moved away from the state of highest vibration and thereby lowered itself will be raised and transformed so that it may again enter the primordial, purely spiritual existence where there is neither space nor time nor darkness. Recognize there, My beloved sons and daughters, your heavenly home.

So do not fear the upheavals that will reshape this world, for this must be. How these events of cleansing and purification affect the life of the individual is placed in his own hands according to My law of love. But truly, I tell you: whoever has chosen Me, his heavenly Father, his Lord and God, as his guide and companion will be protected, and the hosts of heaven—your brothers and sisters from the light—will guide everything that happens for his good. But the day and hour of all that will happen is known only to your Father in heaven, no matter how strongly a human being may cling to particular dates.

I long for each of you, for everything that proceeded from Me and now lives in remoteness from God. Therefore I draw everything closer to Me again.

Do not look into the future ahead of you bent down with worry and dark expectations; turn your gaze away from what has passed unless it needs to be put in order. Recognize what the present wants to say to each of you. Live your hours and days in the awareness and effort to please Me, your Father, by striving to overcome everything within you that still opposes selfless love and by fulfilling My commandment of love toward everything you encounter. In this way you render the greatest possible service to yourselves and to all life.

I have shown you the steps on this path in numerous teachings, and I will continue to enlighten My own about them in the future. The great transformation toward which you are moving, this luminous future that lies before you, needs people who know no other goal than to strive toward shadowless light and unconditional love and thus develop within themselves a transformed spiritual consciousness. In this way, My beloved, you extend your hands to many more of your brothers and sisters, so that their longing for Me, their Father, may also be fulfilled.

Walk on, O messengers of light, toward the dawn of a New Age that—as has been promised to you—will rise after the night. Prepare the ways for My love, My mercy, and My grace. For truly, I tell you: they flow from the heavens in this time with an intensity never known before, for even the darkest soul shall and will one day return to its Father’s house.

My peace remains among you. Amen.

Divine Revelation

I immediately add words from My wisdom to My revelation from divine earnestness by reminding you of your divine inheritance. What does this mean for you, My sons and daughters?

It means that you possess a spiritual potential you do not yet know. These are creative powers of an extent you cannot imagine; and on your path through this life you are to learn to apply these powers, even if in matter you cannot succeed nearly as well as you could as spiritual beings and will be able to again. Yet even as human beings on this earth you are co-creators and co-shapers through your inner feelings and thoughts, through your love.

I rejoice again and again when My children come together in My Spirit, as happens in this hour. I rejoice when they lift their hearts to Me and their thanks and requests reach My ear.

I want to “practice” something with you—and I use that word deliberately—because for many of you it is either still new or because you do not think about what possibilities you have in prayer. When I have often told you that you should bless, this means nothing other than letting your love flow out from your heart. You are able to do this to the degree that you have already developed love within yourselves. And to every blessing I add My share of the energy of love as well.

What applies to blessing applies in equal measure to all luminous, positive energies that you can and should radiate into this world and that repeatedly remind you to use your creative powers for the good of your fellow human beings and your earth.

Therefore let us now practice a form of common prayer that is far more intense and effective than if you merely turn to Me—without knowing your own possibilities—and ask only Me to do something.

You are in a lowered state of consciousness, your hearts are with Me, your daytime thoughts are switched off. You sit in a circle around a candle. Now feel into your inner peace. What matters is not the word thought or spoken, but the inner feeling. It is the peace, My son, My daughter, that you have already developed within yourself and that you are now ready to give away. Feelings of peace flow from your hearts—peace. — —

And now imagine that these inner feelings meet where your candle burns: your energies of peace are gathered there. Mightily your peace rises as a pillar of light. Clairvoyant people become aware of it, and in the subtle realms this pillar of peace-light is perceived as well. Souls that carry within themselves a longing for peace are drawn to this source of peace; and when they become interested in the origin of this pillar that illuminates the darkness, they will find My peaceful sons and daughters sitting here, gathering their energies and sending them outward. Peace—peace—peace. — —

What now happens to your pillar of peace-light? According to the law that like attracts like, your pillar of light grows larger and larger; and because in this moment you fulfill My commandment of love—that is, serve the law of love—the law of love serves you and strengthens the peace in every one of you while at the same time increasing the energy you have concentrated. And My almighty power and My wisdom now distribute these energies of peace over the earth and into the nearby subtle realms—everywhere where the desire for peace is present in hearts.

In this moment, My sons and daughters, you are acting creatively and changing the world. — —

It is not easy to enter into this form of creative prayer. But practice it, and you will notice the difference between merely asking Me to “take care of” something and entering into your own responsibility and developing and sending out the powers of love that dwell within you for the good of all.

My peace is and remains with you. Amen.
