THE RIGHT CONCEPT OF GOD
And this My Spirit will reveal to you, that there is only
one God and that this God manifested Himself in Jesus Christ. Because
God is a Spirit, I could not become visible as a limited entity to the
beings created by Me, but in Jesus Christ I became a visible God for all
My creatures. Therefore, you must not speak of Jesus Christ and the Father,
for I am one with Him, so that when you speak of Jesus Christ, you speak
of Me, your God and Maker, your Father from eternity.
Already the infant Jesus was filled with My Spirit, and already after
His birth I manifested Myself in Him in an unusual way, to make the people
around Him realise that My Spirit dwelt in the infant. The man Jesus died
on the cross, but His body was already spiritualised and rose from the
dead - for all its substances had united with Me. My Spirit had permeated
body and soul and nothing human was left in Him. That which had arisen
from the dead on the third day was I Myself, the Father-Spirit from eternity.
The God, whom the beings desired to see and who had manifested Himself
in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God, for I am a Spirit and have become
visible to all My beings in the Person of Jesus Christ. And you cannot
imagine Me in any other way than as the Divine Saviour Jesus Christ.
If you want to pray to Me, if you want to make contact with Me, you must
pray to Jesus Christ - you must speak with Him, you must acknowledge Him
as your Father from eternity, and then you will also have the right concept
of God, which, however, can never be right if you pray separately to Me
as "God" and to Jesus Christ as "God's Son".
In the man Jesus there dwelt a soul, which was My "son", a supremely
perfect being created by Me that remained faithful to Me when the great
apostasy of spirits took place. And this "son of God" made it
possible for Me to incarnate Myself in a human body - so that the complete
unification of the eternal Father Spirit with Jesus Christ could take
place. But subsequently there were not two separate entities, but only
one God, for the Divine Spirit, the First Cause, completely permeated
the human body, thus also spiritualising it.
It was all "Divine Spirit", it was the Spirit that pervades
infinity, but manifested itself in a form visible to men, so that they
could form a concept of Me and rejoin Me. For their original guilt of
apostasy consisted in the voluntary separation from Me, because they were
unable to see Me.
And thus I provided for them a possibility to rejoin Me of their own free
will, by rendering Myself visible to them in Jesus Christ. You must never
separate "Jesus Christ" from Me, for He and I are One and the
same; whoever prays to Him, prays to Me, whoever sees Him, sees Me personally,
Who Am, have been from eternity, and shall be forever and ever.
