HIGH-HANDEDLY ENDING OF THE LIFE

You are given time for the last Redemption from your chains, for the final release out of form. That period varies in duration, but I consider what is best for your soul. I do not arbitrarily cut off your earthly life. I know the maturity of each individual's soul, and also the danger of regression, or the possibility of reaching a higher maturity on Earth. My Love and Mercy will terminate a human life sooner, to prevent a back-sliding of the soul, or if I see the possibility of a change in the last hour, then I will lengthen that life-span, but only in Wisdom, because I know everything that is profitable for the soul.

Now you will understand what a great offense an arbitrary ending of a life is, what sin you commit when you go ahead of MY Love and Mercy, and therefore do not use the opportunity, which is offered your soul to reach completion. You intervene in MY Plan of Salvation and add harm to your soul that will someday cause you a great remorse and self-reproach, for that you cannot make up for in the beyond. You have irretrievably forfeited something for yourself, even if you succeed in improving the state of your soul when you strive upwards.

But there is a great danger that the soul will sink down and rebel. The arbitrary ending of its life was rebellion and the estrangement remains. Those souls have great need of help so as not to get lost for endless long times. But it happened according to their will.

I will certainly help everyone in great need, which need may diminish at once if one only thinks of ME, and calls upon ME for help. This need is also the means to turn your thoughts toward ME, so that you still can achieve success in this earthly life. Suffering does not come on the people without cause, because their souls are in danger and they should find, through their suffering, a way to escape. The more the soul rebels against ME, the greater becomes its danger. Then finally it will oppose MY Will, and throw away Life which MY Love and Grace gave it for its final Redemption.

Because the embodiment as a human being is a Grace for the soul, a gift of MY Love, it is the last step upwards to the Heights, which it may go, to be forever free and happy. The soul stands close to its goal and is therefore responsible for its actions if it does not make use of this gift, throwing it away in blinded thinking.

I know every move in man's heart and I certainly judge righteousness, I reckon with the weakness of MY Creatures. But it is not guiltless and its free will shall weigh heavily upon it if it is directed wrong or misused.

Man cannot end his needs by doing away with himself, he must go on with it, and he will not find a way out. His soul will suffer inexpressibly in the Spiritual Kingdom until he becomes its master, as he could have on Earth. He must take refuge in that One Who is Master over all need and suffering, because HE is victorious over sin and death.

AMEN
