HEED GOD'S MESSENGERS ALONG THE WAY

I shall always put My Will in your heart, if only you ask Me for clarification on what to do. Then I know that you are anxious always to do My Will and verily, you shall not be making wrong decisions. I look after every individual, for each needs strength for his ascent; but whoever is willing to take the way to the height has to also watch all signs, as well as the messengers standing by the wayside, because there always shall be deviations which lead to the abyss, against which it is necessary to caution.

And it is precisely these wayward paths which are so enticing at first, they are so substantial to the eye, so stimulating that man is inclined to enter upon them in the hope of ever more stimulation. But they lead into darkest undergrowth, from which the traveller cannot free himself and has to ask for help. Hence I say, heed God's messengers by the wayside, who know the right way and whom I Myself send out to meet the pilgrim, that he may not be leaderless and go astray. And do no grumble if your path steepens or becomes harder to surmount. You shall always be endued with strength,, and your will can augment same at any time if only you ask me fervently for supply of it.

Because verily, this request shall be granted, because I yearn for your return and shall do everything on My part to draw you the sooner to My heart, which longs for you since your apostasy from Me. Your earth-walk is strewn with temptations of every kind because My adversary wants to keep you for himself, and shall always parade only the goods of this world before your eyes - you shall see a broad, negotiable, exceedingly comely path ahead of you promising the beautiful goal; which you would enter upon without misgivings if you were not warned regularly by My messengers who have My instructions to guide you unto the right Way and to leave the broad one.

Time and again these messengers point out your wrong path and exhort you to turn around and take the right one, provided you desire to reach the right destination, provided that at the end of your pilgrimage on this earth you want to end up in your Father's house, which shall truly unfold every glory and overly compensate you for the joys you forego, when you choose the narrow path leading to such glorious destination. Do therefore hearken unto these messengers, believe that they are sent by Me, your Father from eternity, to meet you, because I love you and want to enable your lasting return to Me.

Do not be put off by seeming obstacles because they are easily overcome, if only you hand yourselves over to your leaders, who shall lead you past cliffs and abysses, the path seeming gradually easier the closer you are to your destination. Because I Myself want to lead you, and with Me verily, you shall overcome all obstacles - with Me even the steepest ascent shall appear easy, since strength flows to you uninterruptedly as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me, whereupon you move towards luminous heights and cease hankering after the depths. But you shall never reach this goal along the broad ways which you had taken at the start, and which indeed promised much, yet irretrievably lead to the depths, from which surely, you are to work your way up to the heights. And though you may take a long time deciding to leave this wide road, you shall time and again come upon side lanes; and yet again My messengers shall call out to you to set out along these, to reach the goal for which you walk the earth.

I do not stop competing for you, and in these messengers I encounter you Myself and speak to you, because I do not want you to become lost on account of trivial joys and forfeit everlasting life, which can be attained only by turning away from the wide road, which My adversary has studded with the most beautiful scenarios, furnished with glitter, which however gives out no light, because he wants to lead you back into the depth whence My love had helped you up to the human stage, which you only need to accept.

AMEN
