BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO SOULS IN THE BEYOND - LOVE

Deliver the gospel to souls in the beyond. Remind them of MY commandments of Love which must be fulfilled even in the world hereafter, if the soul would rise to the heights. Give them knowledge of MY Will which always requires a turning to ME, and must take place to be apprehended by MY Love.

It is the same on Earth as in the spiritual Kingdom those who are at first directed against ME must have a change of will. This can happen only through Love, for an unselfish act of Love is the first step toward ME, bringing strength to such a one.

The souls who are powerless in the beyond are poor in Love, and you must explain to them that they can only expect help when they are willing to share Love with those who, like them, are equally poor in Love and unhappy. Without Love their thinking is wrong, and as on Earth beings can come to them and teach them wrongly without them being aware of the error. Only a soul willing to help recognizes the Truth. So you must first present to the soul MY commandments of Love and draw to their attention that these have been given to them that union with ME can only be restored by fulfilling these commandments of Love, for deeds of Love provide strength and also helps them upwards.

You can teach those souls again and again, but if they are not willing to Love they will not believe you, or understand you. So if you are willing to help them it must be your earnest and serious intention to encourage them and appeal to them to help other souls that are in need. Only this readiness to Love can open their spiritual eyes and ears, then they can understand everything that you lay be fore them.

My Gospel is only the doctrine of Love, because everything else comes by itself, if 'they follow My doctrine of Love. To bring souls in the beyond knowledge only, would be of no use, because as long as they are not willing to perform deeds of Love they shall not understand, because in the beyond, as well as on earth, deeds of Love must be performed, but this always demands a willingness to do so, otherwise the soul is without power.

As long as the soul thinks only about itself and its sorrowful condition, there is no possibility to give it help or to convey strength. It must first turn its eyes to its surroundings, or if it is alone in a barren region its thoughts should go out to the people on earth that it could have helped but failed to do so.

(March 13) The soul must feel sorry and have a desire to make restitution. Then to that soul beings in need will come and as soon as it is willing to help them it will immediately receive strength to carry out its intentions. First of all this Love has to be inflamed which can take a long time, but through loving support from the earth of a human being, urged by a loving will to help and trying to teach, it is possible that he can give to the soul an explanation about its needs.

Love achieves everything and Love overcomes everything. Love itself is the force, which helps the soul to salvation. But as long as the soul only considers itself it will be very difficult to free it from its unpleasant condition. However, it can become tender and loving when it gets touched by small rays of Light. These are sparks of Love, which shall always touch and ignite its heart.

Every soul who feels the darkness as a pain will be pleasantly touched by such rays of Light and in this is its hope that it goes after the Light, and that it is also willing to help other souls to this Light.

Love should always be preached to these souls. Love, which found it's crowning in Jesus Christ and His work of redemption. At first no other knowledge is necessary for those souls. They should know about the reason for their distress and how they can remove it.

Only when they have this discernment their ascent is sure, only when they themselves want to do deeds of love do they receive strength to work in Love and accept steadily more strength and go on in continually brighter Light.

Light makes these souls exceedingly happy and in their happiness comes the willingness to love constantly greater. Through this a single soul in the beyond can perform an extensive work of redemption.

Because as well as it understands itself, so shall it also bring its knowledge to other souls and try to urge them to the same endeavor in Love. For as on earth, so it is in the spiritual Kingdom: Love God above all and your neighbor as yourself.

AMEN
