DO NOT FORFEIT EVERLASTING LIFE

Do not forfeit everlasting life! Once it shall be granted you indeed, but eternities may still pass…. epochs of endless torment and darkness, where you find yourselves in utter power and lightnessness. And you could prolong this time of torment endlessly, so that you might even speak of "everlasting damnation", which I Myself have not imposed upon you however, but which you create yourselves voluntarily, and repeatedly re-create. If you do not utilise your human existence in order to gain everlasting life.

I will not allow you to become lost forever, because you are My beings, whom I have loved from the beginning and shall never cease to love. But I cannot give you life prematurely if you yourselves prefer a state of death, if you are not prepared to take life out of My hand. But you could gain same easily, because you only need to entrust yourselves to the One Who is life eternal Himself. And for this purpose earth-life has been given you, where you are in possession of intellect and free will, where you can receive instruction about your task on earth and hence need only to be willing in order to emerge from a state of death. And that time is short indeed, no great sacrifices are demanded of you, compared to what is given you upon the right application of your will. Hence the lifespan is very short but sufficient for attainment of your goal. But your pre-development stage - to when you could appear as a human, was of endless duration. And it shall take endless times again before you receive the grace of another volition test. These are eternities whose span you men cannot conceptualise, because in your imperfect state your thinking also is limited.

And just as you are in ignorance about his torment, because retrospection is taken from you for the duration of earth-life, so also you are unaware of the unspeakable bliss embraced by the concept "eternal life". You have no concept of the splendours awaiting you in My kingdom, when you have decided for permanent return to Me. And neither the one nor the other knowledge can be proven to you, because this would prevent your free decision.

But you should believe even without proof and put your earth-life behind you accordingly - you should not forfeit the bliss in My kingdom, you should allow for all these possibilities regardless of their seeming implausibility, and consider them intellectually and live in a way that precludes self-reproach at the hour of departure from this earth. You should also listen to those who speak to you about things not of this world. And you should also think and try imagining where you would stand if they were right.

Too much is at stake for you men, and not just a number of earth-years such as your life-span, but an eternal life; it is about a never-ending state of highest bliss, a condition in light and power which was peculiar to you at the beginning. And in the exchange for this eternity of light and power you need only a brief time - a "moment" of this eternity to forego entirely worthless things. But you are rating these things unduly high and hence you are forfeiting "life" and remain within death again for eternities. And all I can do to help you to life is to repeatedly send you My servants, who warn and remind you in My name and are to spur you unto attaining to truth; who refer you to Me so that I, as the only truth, may enlighten your thinking; who advise you to establish the connection with Myself so I can then seize you and draw you to Myself. Yet you must take the first step, because I do not coerce you into your bliss. But I support and strengthen even the weakest of wills if same turns to Me.

I caused the entire Creation to come into being in order to give you life. I do not want your earth; I want you to live and to at least escape the state of death, which lasted eternities. I want to again present you with My love and prepare a glorious destiny for you, which shall not end into all eternity. But I cannot prevent you from choosing the road to the depths again, when you voluntarily follow again him who once took your life and delivered you unto death.

I can only call to you time and again, "Do not forfeit everlasting life", but you have to respond to this call voluntarily, you have to try and win life eternal whilst still on earth, and I shall verily help you, because I love you.

AMEN
