THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST

given through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer (between 1840 and 1879)
Few of our fellowmen know that for more than a hundred and thirty years, there is on earth a vast Jakob Gottfried ensemble of spiritual Lorber Mayerhofer writings known as the New Revelation, whose authors, the Austrian Jakob Lorber and, later, the German, Gottfried Mayerhofer, alike all the prophets of the scriptures, sustained that they were www.new-revelation.ro www.hisnewword.org nothing but simple messengers of Gods words. The two men explained very clearly that these writings were not conceived by them, but only the fruit of a mysterious dictation perceived by them as coming from the area of their hearts. The real author, the one who spoke the words that they put on paper (including those that you will be reading here), declared himself to be, in all these texts, JESUS CHRIST Himself. The New Revelation is the greatest personal and direct testimony of a omnipotent, omniscient and most loving Father-Creator, Who never abandoned His creation, Who never left us on this earth as orphans, Who is manifest in the existence of every atom, every cell of our body, every fiber of our soul, every particle of our spirit, Who confesses us the ultimate love of the Father able and willing not only to give His earthly life, but also His spiritual, eternal one, in order to have the last of us saved

"The reason why I am now giving out so much of the bread of heaven, as has never happened since the day I walked on earth, is that now indeed the time is approaching when the world reaches the culmination of its aberrations and deviation from My plan of creation. (Lords Sermons, 16)
THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
"This you are given for your solace. I value you because I know your heart; it only needs the right guide who will bring it onto the right path.
For the time being, I Myself will be this Guide. And so, follow My advice and you will certainly never regret it. All this I, your most gracious Father, am telling you. Amen." (Secrets of life, chap. 10)
"For the pure word is a light and in itself the greatest sign of signs and the greatest miracle of all miracles. (Great Gospel of John VIII 154:4)
New Revelation Manuscripts Lords Word through Jakob Lorber
But know and understand, man does not so much live from the bread of this earth, but rather from every word coming from the word of God!
(The Great Gospel of John IX, 134:12)

through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
In truth, I tell you, one day also this earth and the entire visible firmament will come to an end; but My words will remain forever, and so will he who carries them alive in his heart. (The Great Gospel of John VI 153:9) Manuscript Jakob Lorber
"For after Me the gate of heaven will always remain open, and what we are now discussing here will after more than a thousand years be possible to be heard and written down, as if all this were happening before the eyes of those living nearly two thousand years after us on earth. And in whatever area man will in the future have any doubt, he will be able to obtain clear advice from the heavens. For from now on everyone will have to be taught by God, and who is not taught by God will not enter into the kingdom of truth and light. (The Great Gospel Of John III, 15:6)

"I am giving it to you in order to set a new corner and boundary stone for the world. Many shall fall over this, for they do not follow the way of humility, utter self-denial, patience, gentleness and great love that is shown in it."
(Himmelsgaben I p. 390)
My beloved, act accordingly, only then it will become quite clear to you that this teaching, which you have now heard, does not come from the mouth of an ordinary man, but truly from the mouth of God, and that it contains the highest and purest truth and, thus, life itself.
(The Great Gospel of John VI, 99:2)
He who reads this work and regards it as spiritual inspiration, but is not yet clear in his mind 'whether it comes from a lower or a higher spirit', is still extremely blind and the cover of his worldly intellect still mightily veils the vision of his heart.
(The Household of God Introduction)
One must be a living, active doer of the word in order to be released from the night of eternal death - and not only a hearer, or ultimately even a critic, what is even worse, a despiser and then even a denier of My word. And I tell you this in addition: if anyone has a doubt and cannot fully believe this communication, so that through it he becomes alive in his heart, he will do better not to touch it for, if he has touched upon it, he has also reinforced the inner judge towards death.
But if he has not touched upon it, his judgment will also be easier, and the way to the negative pole more tolerable and, perhaps, after eternities, also reversible. But whoever reads it and considers it as a powerful signpost towards life, and does accordingly, truly, he already has the victory within himself, all of which is your fathers sole, holy love-will eternally. Amen. (The Fly, final chapter 12:45, 12:60-61)
"Therefore also, only those shall be given the light to awaken their mind and spirit from the heavens who are seeking it, and also love and esteem it as the highest there is in life." (The Great Gospel of John IX, 180:6)
"The day of My second coming will be as a lightning that goes from the east to the west, high in the clouded sky, and will illuminate everything that is under the sky.
Before that will happen - as I have told you already several times - the Son of Man must still suffer many things and be rejected entirely by this generation, namely by the Jews and the Pharisees, and in later times by those who will be called the new Jews and Pharisees."
(The Great Gospel of John, Book 21, 38:5)

Whoever is destined for life on earth, shall be awakened to life through My word.
(The Great Gospel of John IX, 148:12)
Jakob Lorber: Lords Scribe receiving His Inner Word
You have been My predecessor in this great time of My coming to the people, and you will again be My predecessor when that great time will arise about which I have spoken. But the people will not recognize you then, despite that you will know who you actually are, because that last temptation in the flesh that you can expect will become the foundation for the building of the dawning kingdom of peace.
The people at the time of your next life will care little about your word, but it will be written in their soul with burning letters so that they will nevertheless feel it when they will be free of their body. That word of you will be My Word, and I will demand an account of everyone who heard it but despised it. (The Great Gospel of John Book 25, 55:2)
Jakob Lorber: Lords Scribe receiving His Inner Word

"Thus spoke the Lord to me and within me for everyone, and that is true, faithful and certain: - You are the Lot of Sodom, but make sure that you do not suffocate in unchastely and thus participate in the heritage of the harlot, for you are unlike anyone before or after you. As a man you are entirely in the flesh and its lust, but as a spirit you are completely free, with open eyes and open ears. You soil your body with dirt, whilst streams of light are poured upon your spirit. Your body feeds with the swine, whilst a thousand angels surround your spirit. You have filled your earthly heart with mire and dirt, but I have made My abode in the heart of your spirit. You talk with harlots, whilst I talk to you as a brother to his brother. You stink like a cesspool, and your spirit breathes the sweet odors of the highest heavens. You are a horrible creature, but your eye shines more than the suns. Therefore, cleanse your flesh and become one with Me, so that I may become One with you." (The Household of God I, 2:1)
"Understand thus My earthly life, and beams of light will envelop you, which you, following My example, can likewise use towards the highest bliss by doing only good, spreading only benefactions, by lifting up your own Self and drawing nearer to Me. For, treading in My footsteps, you are doing the same thing I did and am always doing. In other words, retaining your human and spiritual dignity, you shall rise to that which I want to make you, namely, children of an eternal God and forever loving Father." (Secrets of life, chap. 24)
Do tell My children and all others, no matter of what religion whether Roman, Protestant, Jewish, Turkish, Brahmin or benighted heathen in short, it goes for all: on earth there is only one church, and this is the love for Me in My Son. This love is the Holy Spirit within you, which reveals itself to you through My living Word. Thus I am in you; and your soul, whose heart is My dwelling place, is the sole Church on earth. In it alone there is eternal life, and it is the sole redeeming one! (...) Or do you think I am present within the walls or in the ceremony or in prayer or veneration? Oh, no, there you are very much mistaken. There I am nowhere to be found, but only where there is love, there I am also!
(The Household of God, vol. I, 4:9-12)
Everyone should strive above all to gain the highest possible knowledge of God. Whoever does not recognize God properly, can never fully believe in Him, let alone love Him above all and, consequently, can never fully receive Gods spirit.
(The Great Gospel of John VI, 227:18-19)
THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorb er er & Gottfried Mayerhofer
Seek ye therefore the kingdom of God and its righteousness in your heart before everything else, troubling yourselves little about anything else; because all these other things together with the wisdom of angels can be given you overnight. (The Great Gospel of John vol. I, 162:8)
For of a truth, believe Me: God in His heart steadily remains the Self-Same! As He was when no sun, moon or stars were shining yet for a long time upon the firmament, just so is He still this moment and shall be into all eternity. He who seeks Him along the right path also shall find Him and be blessed into all eternity of eternities! (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 1, 127:16-17)
The teaching itself must justify the truth. Whoever will henceforth fail to live according to the Word, will die in the judgement of the same Word that was spoken to him and which he had not believed and trusted.
For just as I, out of Myself, have received the power from the Father to give eternal life to everyone who is capable (of receiving it) through his will, or take it from him, the same can be done also by My Word. For My Word is invariably the almighty and everlasting expression of My will. He who fully absorbs My Word and unfailingly acts and lives according to it, thereby absorbs Me with all My love, wisdom, might and power and has thus become a true child of God from whom the Father in heaven will not withhold anything He has. (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 1, 83:1-3)
The one who learns it from Me and who comes with Me in the school of life, by believing in the One, only true God and by the love for Him, and through that, by the love for fellowman, and who will then live and act according to My teaching, is a good disciple of My school. It is the only real and true school of life for everyone who wants to join that school and who wants therein to persevere unshakably until the end of his earthly life. Only in this school he will find the eternal life of the soul in the beyond, and death and judgment of matter will leave him. The one who joins this school, and acts according to its teaching, will then also experience in himself how and why only I am the Master and the School Myself. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 22, 23:9-10)
You are completely right when you say that the Kingdom of God has come to you in Me and is now with and among you, but this is still not sufficient to attain to the eternal life of the soul and keep it completely, for although the Kingdom of God has come to you in Me, it has by that not yet penetrated in your inner self, which only can and will happen when you will have completely accepted My teaching in your will and thus also in everything that you do, without considering the world. Once this will be the case, you will say no more: Christ, and with Him the Kingdom of God has come to us and He lives with us and is among us, but you will say: Now it is not I who lives, but Christ lives in me. When this will be the case with you, then you will also completely understand that the Kingdom of God does not come with outer pomp and splendor to and in men, but that it develops only inside of man and draws the soul into the eternal life of that Kingdom of God and will keep him permanently in it. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 21, 40:9)
Many of the countless people on those stars know by their angels that a soul can only attain to the true childhood of God on this Earth, but only by means of a heavy and difficult life in the flesh.
When they want, they will be allowed that their souls will also be begotten in the flesh on this Earth. Once they are here, they also have to accept that for a short time they have to go through it, because by that they will reach forever the triumph of the full equality with God, and therefore they can also submit to a few things, since I also, voluntarily, out of love for My children have submitted to a lot of things, and also will have to submit to something very big and bitter, for the salvation of My children. Gods Kingdom can only by obtained by force and great sacrifices. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 18, chap. 64:2)
However, God did not create human beings as so-called playing dolls for Himself, but as completely equal images of Him, which He has brought to life out of Himself, not as creatures of His almighty arbitrariness, but as true children of His eternal fatherly love. And He has given them a creative quality, which is completely equal to Him, in order to develop themselves completely freely out of their own power of life according to their own totally free will until they are completely equal to God. And look, for this reason, the development of mens free will may not be slowed down by any godly force. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 34:8)
But whoever hears Gods Word and acts according to it, he has Gods Word living within him, and has become himself, in all his nature, a living Word of God, and is therefore in his spirit from God. But if that is so, who can say that then the whole person has not proceeded from God? But if a man, through his being completely filled with the spirit of God, has become in his whole being the living Word of God, fully filled with the spirit of God, is he then not a God, seeing that what is perfectly divine must everywhere be regarded as God, and all the more in the case of man? (The 3 Days Scene, 9:8)
"The full shaping of his own life is put in every individual's own hands." (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 1, 93:8)
Therefore, do give God the credit for everything and act always in His name, then you will have Gods love within you. And he who has the love of God has everything within him for eternities.
(The Great Gospel of John VIII, 19:4)
If, however, you are a friend of the light, the day and the truth out of God, you will also act in accordance with divine truth and will surely long for your works to come to the light and be revealed to everyone, for you know that your works, because they were done in the light of truth out of God, are good and righteous and thus deserve appreciation and visible reward. Therefore, who is a friend of the light will not walk in the night but by day, and he will recognise the light immediately, because he is from the light, and this light is called - faith of the heart. (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 1, 21:4-5)
If I created outside of Me two more Gods, like for instance the Son and the Holy Spirit, so that the two would be individually different from Me, then they inevitably could claim all My unlimited power, without which no God could be imagined, no more than one can imagine a second or even third endless universe that would be divided in a certain way, limiting each other. However, if this would be thinkable, then what about Gods sovereignty of which there can only be one?
The one Kingdom of the one God can exist eternally because only He is the only King and Lord of it, as it is written in the books of the prophets, who have prophesized out of the mouth of God: God will give His glory to no one else (Isaiah 42:8). FOR ONLY I, CHRIST, AM THE ONLY GOD. Human beings, angels, sovereignties and powers, yes, all things in Heaven and on all globes have always bowed before Me and will throughout eternity only bow before Me and never for anybody else, just like the cosmic spaces of creation that seem endless in your eyes are devoured by the one endless space of creation, and compared to that, they appear like a total nothing. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 74:5-6)

For whatever happens on earth, in the moon, the sun and all the stars is for the sole benefit of man, for the reason and purpose of al creation in infinite space lies in man alone.
(The Great Gospel of John VIII, 140:5)
It is worth the effort to become a child of Him, who for one look of love can give you solar regions and cosmic systems!
(Secrets of life, chap. 14)
Yet, this is why I clothed Myself with a body, so that I no longer appear to you as an incomprehensible and invisible God, but as a man with whom you can talk an associate as with your peers, and I have thereby not only made you My children in My true image, but also My friends and brothers. (The Great Gospel of John X, 207:11)
Once a man has reached this maturity and consistency, he has also become a master over all the forces emanating from God and, through these, spiritually and materially, also a lord over all creatures and is then in and for himself no longer destructible through any force and thus, has gained life eternal." (The Great Gospel of John, Book 13, 10:6)
No one will come to Me unless he is drawn to Me by the Father. You must all be taught by the Father, that is, by the eternal love in God, if you want to come to Me. You must all be as perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect. Yet neither great knowledge, nor the greatest deal of experience will get you there, but only the active love for God and in the same measure for the neighbor. Therein lies the great secret of the rebirth of your spirit out of God and within God. But each one will first have to go with Me through the narrow gate of complete selfabnegation before he becomes like I am. Each one must cease to be something by himself so that he may become everything in Me. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 21, 71:4-5)
Everything I have created has two aspects, a good and a bad one. This applies also to faith. As total surrender to the divine will, what gentle warmth it spreads all over the human heart, and how burning, wildly blazing and intolerant it is if, used by the wrong hand, it presses a firebrand instead of a small lamp as a road-sign into the hand of the man seeking peace! Therefore, my children, BEWARE OF EXTREMES particularly in our time! USE FAITH AS HEALING BALM and take good care lest it become a consuming poison for you.
So as to be on the safe side, BELIEVE ONLY ME, LISTEN ONLY TO MY VOICE IN YOUR HEARTS, which does not deceive, and do not let yourselves be deluded by clever, sell-seeking interpreters of My Word. Here the word holds good: Examine what you hear and read; adhere to the good and eliminate the bad. (Secrets of life, chap. 12)
If I arrange it so that even the smallest and most insignificant creation has a very important purpose, and prescribe the fly a usefulness in all its seemingly insignificant functions, - how much more would I provide for man, who is not only My creation, but truly a CHILD OF MY LOVE, or at least should become one, which means that he should recognize that I am a Father to him, not simply a Creator, as I am to the stones and clumps of earth. Yes, even a marginally devout childlike heart has to say that I give Fatherly care to the silent grass in the field, - and such is true, yes, very true, for only the Father gives food and drink to all things whatever food and drink they may require. But, if I give Fatherly care to the dumb things in this manner, how much more Fatherly care will I give to those beings who came forth as CHILDREN OF MY LOVE, truly IN MY IMAGE?! (The Fly, 6:28-29)
I tell you: God is love and the Son is His wisdom. And God loved the world so much that He gave His only-begotten son, that is, His wisdom, emanating from Him from eternity, into this world that all who believe in Him may not die but have eternal life.
Look here. I have a head, a body and hands and feet. The head, the body, hands and feet are flesh, and this flesh is the Son of Man, for what is flesh comes from the flesh, but in this Son of Man who is flesh there dwells God's wisdom, and that is God's only-begotten Son. (The Great Gospel Of John I, 21:1-3)
"I, love personified, have created you out of love, and so you, the created, must strive to emulate this Creator, who laid the spark of love into you, as much as it is within your power. This is the actual fundamental meaning of love, of the dignity of man, who, curbing his passions of anger, hatred or revenge, does, suffers and feels everything only out of love, only for others. Therefore, man's dignity consists only in the subjugation of anything ignoble, be it in thoughts, word or deed! The dignity of man, or the spiritual awareness: I am not of this world, but of another, better and eternal world. (Secrets of life, chap. 26)

Without Me, no one can achieve anything for the salvation of his soul. And even if he has kept the laws that were revealed to him, as if out of his own willpower, then he still should acknowledge in himself that he has been a lazy and slow servant, and give the honor only to God for all the good deeds he has done, then God will always support him and make him strong. He who will always give the honor to God for all the good things he has done, is pleasing to Him and is a real helper and servant after His heart. God will not leave the one who will not leave God in his heart, but will protect him with His hand. However, the one who will leave God in his heart and who will pay little or no attention at all to Him, who thinks to be his own lord and act according to his worldly reason, and who will let himself be honored, speaking about his cleverness and noble deeds when he succeeded something, rewards himself and will not have to expect any reward from God. For all the good and true things that you do, do them in My name, and I will be with you and will support you and make you strong. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 22, 27:3-4)
I tell you, a proper trust in God is worth more than all the treasures of the world, with which you can help your flesh indeed for a short time, but not your soul! But if you have ruined and therefore lost your soul, what can you give later to ransom your soul?! (The Great Gospel Of John I, 94:4)
Says the Lord (to Judas) I: Whatever someone loves, that he also has the intellect to commend; you love money excessively and hence well know how to praise it. Hence I shall say no more about it to you, because what one loves, one also knows how to praise! But you nevertheless shall in the not too distant future learn about the curse of money! (The Great Gospel Of John I, 94:4)
In general, the full, naked truth cannot now be given to man even by Me, but only veiled in parables and metaphors so that in his search he can unravel it from such metaphors. Only with you few do I speak without reservation, but those to whom you pass it on, shall also not receive it completely naked, but somewhat veiled, so that they will have an opportunity to freely reflect and be freely active. And to prevent you yourselves from becoming half-hearted, I am telling you also: There is much else I ought to tell you, but you cannot bear it as yet. However, once the Spirit of Truth will come over you and your children, it will lead you into all truth. And thus, you will for this earth be in all truth and will only then receive into your hands the key to countless truths of the heavens. And through the ever newer and more profound unveiling of such truths, you will have more and more to do in eternity. (The Great Gospel Of John III, 168:12)
Now look, My children! Human dignity is really nothing else but the constant acting, thinking and willing in accordance with My laws of love! I, love personified, have created you out of love, and so you, the created, must strive to emulate this Creator, who laid the spark of love into you as much as it is within your power. This is the actual fundamental meaning of love, of the dignity of man, who, curbing his passions of anger, hatred or revenge, does, suffers and feels everything only out of love, only for others. (Secrets of life, chap. 24)
Where men must have freedom of will and freedom of action so that they can become human beings also in spirit, I Myself do not interfere no matter how foolishly they may act. All I do is allow them to reach, unperturbed, that which they have so eagerly striven for as if their life's happiness depended on it.
It does not make any difference to Me whether the consequences are good or bad. What they create they get. Although I know what will happen afterwards, I can and must not intervene with My omnipotence; for if I do that, man ceases to be a man. THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
He is then nothing else but an animated machine and can be of no value forever, either for himself or for Me. (The Great Gospel Of John V, 109:2)
I said: That for which you will ask the Father in My name, will also be given to you. For only the Father is good and has no pleasure in the suffering of people, but He also does not prevent that such things come over the people if they, out of sheer love for the world, forget the Father, do not have faith and direct themselves in that which must give them all kinds of misfortune. Walk continuously on the ways that I have truly shown to you now, then you only will have little to suffer and your departure from this world will be easy. (The Great Gospel Of John VIII, 16:10-11)

Mans heart however, is like the wine skin; it keeps growing stronger and more alive through the truth, but is forced through falsehood and deceit to finally pass into complete death, since it is also the center of life. If in your heart you believe that there is a God, you will love Him because in the heart everything is permeated by love. And if you love God, God's highest power has entered into your heart and, thus, into your life. Yet Gods power is not somehow limited, but pervades the whole everlasting infinity. If in unison with this divine power you are stimulated within your life's ground, the divine power within you is stimulated simultaneously and whatever this wills, will happen without fail. (The Great Gospel Of John,Book 12, 73:2-4)

In the one who takes delight in Me and loves Me, I too take delight and love him. However, times will be coming when people will also seek Me, but not find Me as promptly and easily as you did. But whoever will in all earnest seek Me in his heart and in his actions in accordance with My word, will also find Me and be full of joy at having found Me. Once a person has found Me, he will not lose Me again. For a greater trial of his love and patience I shall now and then for certain moments hide My face from him, yet I shall not leave him.
Good for those whom I shall try a great deal, for they will recognize from it that I love them very much. He who is tried much and stands the test, will hereafter in My Kingdom be set over many and great things, whereas he who is tried less because of his weakness, will be set over fewer and lesser things. . (The Great Gospel of John VIII, 103:9-12)
Love for God on the part of man is determined by the love for his fellowman. The one who says that for ones salvation it is only necessary to love God above all, but then closes his heart and door for his poor fellowman, is in great error because love for God is without love for fellowman eternally not thinkable and also not possible. So love your fellowman, because they are just like you Gods children, then by doing so you will also love God above all.
(The Great Gospel of John IV, 1:5)
Behold, love does everything! Whoever loves Me above all, renders Me the greatest sacrifice and most pleasing thanks, for at the same time, he sacrifices the whole world for Me. However, apart from the love for Me, there is another love, namely, the love for the neighbor. The true neighbors are those who are poor in spirit and poor in the sometimes necessary material possessions. Whatever someone does to them in My name, he does to Me. (The Great Gospel of John III, 112:3-4)
That is why true, unselfish love for fellowman is one with the love for God, and God rewards his love already in this world and will once on the other side in His eternal Kingdom reward it even more with eternal life. Truly, not even one drink of water that you have given with a good heart to a thirsty person will not remain unrewarded to you. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 21, 28:4)

through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer Therefore, investigate first of all into the misery of your poor brothers and sisters; give them help and comfort. Then you will find more in one brother whom you have helped than by having travelled to all the stars and praised Me with the tongues of the Seraphim. Truly, I tell you, all angels, all heavens and all worlds with their wisdom cannot give you in eternity what you can attain by truly helping with all your might and with all you have to help a brother who is in misery. Nothing is higher and closer to Me than alone the true, active love. (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 4, 1:11-12)
Feel the need of the poor and relieve it according to your strength and wealth, comfort those who are sad, clothe those who are naked, give food to those who are hungry, and drink to those who are thirsty, help those who are sick where you can, free the prisoners and proclaim My gospel to the poor of spirit. This will exalt your feeling, your mind into the Heavens, and on this true path of life your soul will soon without difficulty become one with his spirit from God and will by that also share in His wisdom and might.
(The Great Gospel of John, Book 19, 98:14)
To be rich on this Earth and only use as much for yourself as one really needs for the maintenance of oneself, that is, to be sparse towards oneself, in order to be all the more generous towards the poor, this is the greatest divinity even in the flesh on this Earth! But the greater this genuine and only true divinity exists in a person, the more blessings and mercy constantly flow to him from the heavens! Whoever gives much with love and joy, to him will also be given much!
(The Great Gospel Of John, Book 7,, 78 :11,13)
If poor people come to you and grieve about their need, help them according to your strength and ability, because what you will do for the poor I will consider it as if you have done it for Me, and I will repay you already here and even more everlastingly later in My Kingdom. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 21, 71:4)
The poor in this world are truly My children everywhere. The rich however are mostly the children of this world. In order that My children would not indulge, I let them also in this hard but for them extremely beneficial school of life to suffer need. And in their need they come to the rich of the world. What these will do for My children, I also will do for them, and I will reward them already here manifold and in My Kingdom endlessly fold.
So the one who has the love of the children by his love for the children, has also the love of the Father and has acquired by that the eternal reward. Do you now understand what it means to love God above all? (The Great Gospel of John, Book 24, 22:12-14)
"I tell you: let the fire of your love for your family be like a light which is lit during the night; But let your love for the children of other poor parents be like a great conflagration, through which a large area is lit up far and wide!
(The Great Gospel Of John X, 225:4)
Do not look for any reward in this world for the little sacrifices that you are giving Me, for truly, then you would not be My children, but children of this world and Earth which is a bad footstool for My love and My earnest. However, perform all the things that you do out of true, inner love for Me, your Father, then I will surely know with what I have to prepare a true joy in return for My beloved children. Truly, truly, I say to you: no human eye has ever seen, no human ear has ever heard and no human sense organ has ever felt what I am preparing for My children who truly love Me with a simple heart as their Father. " (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 86:13-14)
Man is not ennobled by the conventional adherence to social rules and state laws. Not at all! Man is ennobled by his own conscience, when he is aware of having done everything out of the most noble, most exalted motives, of having done everything out of love for his Creator and love for his fellow created beings.
(The Secrets of life, chap. 24)
"Therefore understand the resurrection of the body to mean the good works of true love for your neighbor! These shall be the flesh of the soul and thus rise with it to everlasting life as an unalloyed ethereal body on its judgment day in the spirit world, following the true trumpet call of this My teaching. If you have borne a body a hundred times on earth, in that next world you shall have but one body, and that the one described to you. (The Great Gospel Of John V, 238:1)
Therefore, I say to you once more that no human being has ever seen or heard and that the spirit of no human being has ever experienced what God has prepared for those who truly love Him.
I still could tell and also show you many things but you cannot yet bear it now. However, when the Spirit of all truth and all life will come over you and you will be reborn into it, it will guide you into all depths of My light and will exalt you. Only then you will understand and perceive what great words I have spoken now to you, and through you, also to all human beings. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 97:3-4)
"God is supremely good, supremely wise, supremely just and does not need anyone's advice and instruction when He wishes to do something. But I tell you: Also man in this earth is called to become as perfect as is the Father in heaven. And I think that if God offers this to man in return for a small effort, namely, for the easy complying with My teaching, man should spare no pains to reach this supreme goal." (The Great Gospel of John I, 39:5-8)
Truly, I tell you: Here one hour counts more than a thousand years do there. Inscribe these words deeply in your heart!" (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 13:10)
"Your body, as matter, is indeed a nothing; therefore, great immortal man shall not care for his temporal and material nothing, but for the spiritual everything. Then he will no longer be able to say that he is an absolute nothing but, instead, in and with Me, an absolute everything." (The Great Gospel of John VI, 247:8)
Friends, humility in the human heart is one of the most necessary virtues by which one can come first to the inner life of light. But that virtue exists actually only from true love for God and for fellowman. It is the gentle patience of the heart, by which man surely recognizes his excellence but who is never exalting himself as a ruler over his weaker brothers, but surrounds them with all the more love and tries to raise them to their own recognized higher perfection through teaching, counseling and action. Therein consists the real and only true humility, but it never exists in despising oneself. THE NEW I Myself am humble and gentle of REVELATION heart, and My patience goes of JESUS CHRIST beyond all limits, but you have never experienced through Jakob Lorber & that I have despised Gottfried Mayerhofer Myself before men.
Whoever does not recognize him to be a work of God cannot truly respect his fellowman or even God, but only for a totally wrong reason. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 17, 60:9-10)
Happy the old man who, finally, after great conflicts and manifold disturbances, has at least secured for himself so much that the garment of his soul has approached the archetype of My image, even though not completely. Happy he if he, albeit late, has properly recognized his mission on this earth, his God and Lord and the other world. He will calmly await the moment of departure when the garments will be changed; he will leave the world without fear and regret, for, although late, he has found his creator, his father, who will up there, in keeping with his still youthful heart, surely invest him with a new, youthful garment.
Then, constantly becoming more handsome and more spiritualized, he can, on the level of perfection, keep drawing closer to me in order to become quite worthy of the name: of God. (Secrets of life, chap. 6)

Therefore, for every soul, only one thing is necessary: that he would search for My Kingdom of life in himself in the little chamber of the heart of the original life, and would also find it. All the rest, he will receive from Me as a free gift anyway. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 19, 9:14)
For there is only life in the truth, and therefore, to search for the truth is the only blissful activity that warms the heart of man and will more and more awaken the divine spirit that lives in him, while in laziness, in the lie and the unwillingness to search for the divine truth there is not only physical death but it is especially the cause that the soul will more and more be lost in material things. By that he will not only cause an early physical death but he will also make himself incapable to progress in the life in the beyond and search for his only salvation there." (The Great Gospel of John, Book 25, 26:12)
You see, your dear friend has imbibed the sweet poison of human wisdom from these books. Following these scientists step by step, he has often in his life found their arguments seemingly proven and has thus fallen victim to pseudo-knowledge. This, however, neither satisfies nor consoles, but condemns him to share with them the sad fate these scientists have allotted to man in creation. This is, to wait patiently until, after much misfortune and suffering of human life, finally also his hour comes which carries him off this vale of tears, turning him perhaps into a bit of water, or ether, or nitrogen (according to their idea). It is this horrible prospect that depresses him, and since no one has as yet come (to him) to enlighten him, he is sick and tired of his life and existence.
So you see, My child, you are reading here what I, as your God, am speaking to you. You fail to understand this event. It has never occurred to you in your life that God, Who claims to exist, the Creator of all these immense worlds, should want to talk to you, and despite your astonished shaking of the head, this is what I am doing. For I love you, My created being, too much to want to see you lost, a victim of materialism and unbelief! (Secrets of life, chap. 13)
Let all come to Me who are troubled and weighed down by darkness, and I shall restore them. Those who want to come to Me, to them the door shall be opened and they will find in Me the One for Whom they have long been searching in vain, despite all their worldly wisdom. Where I am, there is also room for anyone who loves and seeks Me. (The Great Gospel of John X, 88:6)
" Do not shut off your heart to My fatherly voice! Even when the last rays of hope are fading, do not lose heart! I am and remain always with those who want to stay with Me at all costs. Do not wait for My personal appearance like Thomas, but prepare yourselves to believe and trust firmly, so that My appearance will be only a confirmation of that which you have already believed and hoped for. Then you will be able to help Me, yourselves and your fellowmen as I once helped My disciples during My life among them. Do not allow doubts to attack your heart nor brooding to weaken your faith! My children shall not keep their hearts shut. With their gaze directed upward above all worldly things, they shall always remember My sacrifice, My love and fatherly care for them and all living creatures so that their heart, as a permanent temple of My love and with unshakable faith in My infallibility, may be a true support in all life's difficulties and against all temptations through doubts and disbelief. . (Lords Sermons 20)
Every word coming from My mouth is light, truth and life in your heart. If you grasp My words in your heart and act accordingly, you already obtain with the perceived word true life eternal. (The Great Gospel Of John V, 218:9)
Only activity upon activity for the common good of people brings you salvation. For all life is the fruit of Gods constant, never tiring activity and therefore can only be maintained and preserved for eternity through proper activity whereas nothing but death does and must result from inactivity. The heart of the soul, however, is called love, and its pulsating expresses itself in true and full loveactivity. Thus constant love-activity is the never wearying pulse beat of the souls heart. The more actively the heart of the soul pulsates, the more life is generated in the soul and once thereby a sufficiently high degree of life, this awakens therein the life of the divine spirit. This - as the very life, because the untiring supreme activity itself - then flows into the soul that has become equal to it through love activity, and everlasting imperishable life has fully commenced within the soul. And look, all this arises from activity, but never from idle rest. Therefore, shun rest and seek full activity, and eternal life will be your reward. (The Great Gospel Of John I, 221 6, 9-11)
"If someone then comes upon too great an obstacle, I shall give him a light and the power to safely conquer such a stumbling-block. But every man must above all do all that is within his power." (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 51:13)
"With what kind of almightiness and wisdom can you fight against it if you want it to be effective for eternity? I say to you and to you all: with nothing else except with the truth that I have taught you and with the power of extreme self-denial and the true and full humility of the heart. Strive only for that which you recognize as truth, and then act according to it and not out of appearance for some worldly reason like the temple servants and also many gentiles are doing. Then by that, you will have conquered in yourself the complete Hell and its prince. All evil spirits that are present in all matter will not be able to harm you anymore. And even if an endless great number from the whole great Man of Creation would attack you, then they nevertheless will have to flee away from you as loose chaff and as desert sand for the mighty storm. But if the treasures of the Earth are holding you captive, so that you in order to possess them, would also deny the recognized truth, then you are already conquered in your soul by the power of Hell and its prince who carries the name of lie and darkness, judgment, destruction and death." (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 60:9-11)
Truly, truly I say unto you: those who believe in My teaching, that it has come out from God, they shall also be raised from the dead on the Youngest Day, under these circumstances everyone will find his just sentence. But those that love Me like you do, will never taste death! Just as quickly as the fastest thought, so also will they be transfigured out of this life of the body into the very brightest eternal life, and will take up residence with Me, their Father for eternity! However, carefully keep such a secret with you, until I have been resurrected! (Correspondence between Abgarus and Jesus, chap. 3)
"Whoever will in all earnest seek Me in his heart and in his actions in accordance with My word will also find Me and be full of joy at having found Me. Once a person has found Me, he will not lose Me again. For a greater trial of his love and patience I shall now and then for certain moments hide My face from him, yet I shall not leave him."
(The Great Gospel of John VII, 103:11-12)
"You will have grasped that the eternal space of creation is filled with nothing else that My Spirit which is pure love, thus life, light, wisdom, clearest self-awareness, a certain feeling, perception, vision, hearing, thinking, volition and action. Within Me is the main focal point of life of this one, forever immutable, Spirit, that is yet united with its outer-life ether which fills all infinity. In contrast to the soul's outer life-sphere which, as a substance, cannot spread beyond the limits of a certain space because of the diversity of the foreign elements it encounters, the outer life-ether of the Spirit cannot ever come across foreign elements since it is basically all things itself. Thus, it can without hindrance forever see, feel, hear and understand all. And on this is based, easily comprehensible, the omniscience of God which you find so hard to grasp." (The Great Gospel Of John IV, 257:10-11)
Wherefore it is written: God resides within the eternally inaccessible light!, which is to say: Gods omnipotence - Gods actual power, filling infinity, is forever inaccessible to the nature of every created being, if it wants to endure. For every conflict with Gods omnipotence is the death of the being. Because every being, having completely separated from Gods love, and taking it up with this might, must necessarily be completely swallowed up by such almight, being only with difficulty or not at all, capable of disentangling from it somewhat like a mite buried under the rubble of the Himalayas! (From Hell to Heaven I, 29:7)
And, in addition, I tell you that, viewed in this light, as a collection point of life, a single fly counts for more than our entire formerly developed planet clump! And when you think about this, you will see how much higher above the outer matter life itself is, even in its first spark, and you will also see how much higher over all suns and all the planets stands the life of a single person. And when you comprehend this, it will not be hard for you to understand why I, as the Original Life of all life, as Father and Redeemer, came to earth and have made man into a child of Mine, and have prepared for him a way to My heart. And, finally, you will comprehend why I said to you, The fly, the fly, it sings to you of victory! (The Fly, 8:37-38)

Now, since the Spirit in My Person, as an eternal, independent identity must have as its fundamental principle the main attribute love, it follows that I must also possess all the other attributes belonging to love, which cannot exist without love and without which love cannot exist. These attributes are: meekness, patience, perseverance (or faithfulness), humility and, since all created things are My products, as it were My children, in them also fatherly love finds its loftiest expression. Now look, if the Creator wants to create something, He must surely Thus, in order to call into existence the endow the created with something of His own universe with all its worlds and suns, self, so that it may resemble its Creator and with their plant, mineral and animal become worthy of Him! kingdoms, I had to endow each of these parts, thus all things of the universe, with a certain quantum of Myself, with a wish to gradually strive upward and an urge to again return to Me. (Secrets of life, second part of chap. 16)
When people fell a tree or pull out a plant, do they know whether the tree or plant feels something during this violent act? They do not know! But their lack of awareness is no proof that the tree or the plant does not physically feel pain and, spiritually, death. For what your senses momentarily fail to perceive does not prove its non-existence.
This emotional life is thus probably more or less present in everything created, in keeping with its individuality (nature). Now it surely is natural to ask: If, according to certain laws, the feeling is there, who established these laws, who showed them their established limits beyond which they cannot go? Where there are laws, there must also be a lawgiver, for elements and natural forces do not evolve spontaneously. Therefore, since the laws naturally imply a lawgiver, it goes without saying that with the wisest laws there must also be a most wise lawgiver who is the quintessence of all wisdom. (Secrets of life, chap. 10)
The fact that God does not let Himself found so easily as many people would like, has the following very wise reason: if people would find with little effort what they are seeking, then the thing they have sought for would soon have no more value for them and they would make little effort to seek and investigate further. They would become lazy, and then the spiritual treasure that was found so easily and fast would be even less useful to them than when they had to seek that treasure continuously and anxiously, which they can find in this world only seldom completely and with much effort. Therefore, great revelations happen only rarely, so that people will have to make effort themselves in the fear of their souls night in searching with all zeal the eternal truth, and thus Me. (The Great Gospel Of John IX,19:8)
"Only those people who in their soul are trying to become like Him or are already more or less like Him, will be able to find God. But to become equal to God means: to become full of love for your fellowmen, and to let your heart be full of humility, meekness, patience and mercy regarding everybody. Then God will also have mercy on you, and in the spirit of His love and eternal truth He will let Himself be found by you. If you only want to search God in and with the only truth , then you will find Him indeed, but you will not see His real being and even less understand it. However, if you are searching God in the pure love, humility, meekness, patience and mercy, then you will find God, recognize Him and receive the eternal life of your soul. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 17, 19:3-5 )
It is true, there is much lovelesness in the human heart as the seat of love, yet the heart is the seat of love. But pure love in the heart on its own would be quite as incapable of producing fruits of life as the earth without the light of the sun. The heavenly sun is for the heart of man his natural intellect. This descends in well-ordered, good thoughts, ideas and concepts into the heart, or to the earth in man, enlightens it and quickens the germs toward good and noble acts. Is the light of the intellect still weak, as is the light of the sun in winter, the heart still becomes more sensible and wiser; but because it still abides too much in self-love, the noble germs within it do not sprout, grow and bring living fruits of action to fruition. If a person through diligence and proper use of his talents and abilities becomes increasingly more enlightened in his intellect, this light will also awaken the vital warmth in the heart all the more mightily and the seeds for good deeds within it will begin to sprout, grow and blossom; and soon they will be bringing forth fully ripened noble fruits of action for a rich harvest of life. (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 7, chap. 56:14)
Although your eye can see and your reason can recognize nothing else except judgment, persecution, robbery, murder, death, decay and perishability, it is not as you imagine these things, but quite different. Firstly the laziness, which is an inevitable attachment of the matter of the body, is the greatest enemy of the soul who must become more and more awake and active, for only through that can she becomes completely similar to the Spirit of God in her, and thus become similar to God. And the hotter the countries are where people have built their houses, the more they are threatened by this first enemy of the soul. If in such countries there would not be all kinds of animals that are troublesome for man, and if he did not have to take care for the nourishment of his body, then he also would not take care for the development of the powers of his soul. He soon would look like a sea polyp or like the roots of a tree that have nothing else to do except to suck to them the nutrients that are suitable to them, from the water, from the soil and from the air through its organic-mechanical system. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 23, 2:3-5)

"Yet nature is everywhere calling out to you: We are! but not by chance, nor knit together according to your 'laws', but out of and through a higher power, brought into form... We are! but not 'force' and 'matter', as you believe in your blindness; we are 'spirit'! - bound spirit, dissolved spirit, spirit creative in form and again destroying its forms, so that in the end we shall emerge from all the struggle transformed into spirit, to show you that everywhere in nature everything is spirit, and that you merely lack the spirit to comprehend, refusing, despite revelation in visible and invisible nature to come round to the admission: YES, WE REALIZE THAT WE KNOW NOTHING.
(Secrets of life, chap.13)
And look, it is this love, which, as a divine spark originating from Me, appeases the animal towards its immediate environment, sending a light-beam of joy, of well-being into the little animal soul, so that it does not only follow the urge to feed and of self-preservation but knows also a higher spiritual pleasure, which does not bind to matter, but binds spirit to spirit. (Secrets of life, chap. 24)
Most other animal souls are endowed with enough intelligence to approach you human beings and if you knew how much love and devotion often lies in an animal soul nestling against you, which would feel happy if a higher human spirit would concern himself with it, you would certainly be amazed at the qualities present in such an animal, which would shame many a man and force him into humbly abandoning his proud notion of being the ruler of all that was created.
THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST Through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
(Secrets of life, chap. 9))
Look, a dog who knows his master very well and who is very fond of him is also aware that he is near his master, runs to him and shows through all kinds of jumps, facial expressions and affections that he loves his master and knows him well. But he does not run to a foreigner, and when someone comes near his master he is furiously attacked, and he follows no one elses voice but only the voice of his master. But who tells the dog that such person is his master and no one else? Look, My dear friend supreme judicial city officer, it is not the flesh of the dog that knows this, but the dogs soul that is already THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST on a higher level of intelligence. But how? Through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer Look, man as well as animals possess an outer sphere that surrounds them, which is necessary for life and which is very related to their soul. Many people who live very simply can often notice from a distance of several hours of walking that a friend, whom they knew before and who was absent for a long time, comes to meet them, and they even can determine the time on which that friend will come to them. Animals often possess an even sharper capability to detect and notice if something is hostile or friendly to them from an even greater distance. Dogs and cats possess that capability to a very high degree . (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 25, chap. 8:6-9)
The animal world, so trampled upon by you, often suffers far more than you. It often suffers not merely through laws of nature, which, for the sake of the animals progress, has also woven suffering and conflicts into their short lives, but it suffers mostly innocently through that which man inflicts upon it, and which far surpasses in heartlessness your slavery and other despotism which you are trying to abolish everywhere!
Whenever an animal's brood, its habitation is destroyed, watch its fear, its pain, its restless running about; watch it and be ashamed because you yourselves so often mercilessly commit such an act of cruelty, fancying to be "the lords of the worlds". If I allow such things, not punishing them as they deserve, it is because these sufferings, harsh and bitter as they are for the dumb creature, must nevertheless help in the strengthening of its soul- and spirit-life. (Secrets of life, chap. 24)
Of course, this does not give you the right to torment the animal, BUT YOU, BEING THE STRONGER, SHALL PROTECT THE WEAKER and not exploiting their weakness, waste your time with senseless killing during hunts and with forced feeding, fattening up, etc., for the enjoyment of your palate tormenting an innocent being, WHOSE LIFE, SINCE YOU DID NOT GIVE IT TO THE ANIMAL, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE.
You human beings should remember that I did not create the world as you have it now before your eyes. By no means. In the early times man lived in harmony with the animal world. The animal did not see its enemy in man, nor did man have to fear the animal. But now that people have corrupted the trust to mistrust also towards the animal, they have to bear the consequences of such conduct. The once existing Paradise consisted in the unity of the entire created world, as an everlasting prayer of thanks to Me. And it was only man himself, who planted in it the discord of self-seeking, hatred and vengefulness, so that he is no longer the lord of the world, but the world has become his lord!
Whosoever is capable of abstaining from eating meat, or eats it in moderation, protects himself in this manner from a multitude of spiritual specifica, or elements, whereas another human being thoughtlessly fills his stomach with it. As far as the spirit is concerned, through vegetarianism, he provides the soul with a healthy body, while another human being is prone more to ailments and maladies, wherein the cause presents a puzzle. When you are permeated with the beautiful spirit of compassion, and do not want to take the life of an animal, merely to turn its flesh into your own, you do well should you not wish to do that. Because everything a human being is convinced of as a spiritual being, he should never do the opposite, since it would have a harmful effect upon him. (The Lord through Gottfried Mayerhofer, 12.9.1870)
As for the excesses and cruelties of the human race against the animal this kept pace with the decline of man's own spiritual dignity, bringing mankind spiritually and physically to a stage that will also soon be approaching its end. Then the human spiritual dignity will soon again occupy its proper position, which man will actively exercise not only towards his fellowman but also towards everything inferior to him. Then the earth will again be peopled with spiritual human beings towards whom the animals will be inclined in a less hostile manner, so that man will recognize the former lost Paradise in the unity of all living beings as the great spiritual school of life. Everything is striving towards it. THE REGENERATING SPIRITUAL WIND COMES FROM ALL DIRECTIONS. (Secrets of life, chap. 24)
Imagine yourself a human soul in its original unspoiled state as a true sun among all the various enlivened creatures containing a soul, which all have to submit to the human soul, since they take from its outer life sphere, when this like the soul, is in perfect order, their life light and spiritual life warmth to vegetate in their further rising soul life sphere, and thereby become gentle, tolerant and obedient. Since the souls of plants as well as animals have the to you of course still very unknown destination, ONCE TO BECOME HUMAN SOULS THEMSELVES. The plants and even more so the animals are nothing else than suitable pre-vessels according to My wisdom and insight for accumulation and successive development and for seizing each other of the - you might say - general nature-soul-life-power in the immeasurable space of creation, from which also your souls originate, if originally on this or also on another earth world, does not matter. These animal souls feel the emanation of a proper human soul and the sphere formed by its outer-life-light and outerlife-warmth. (The Great Gospel Of John IV, 16:1-2)
Yes, I tell you, there are still countless other and more insignificant things, and still I dont let even the minutest thing perish! And since I am, therefore, not the all-consuming God, but a Father preserving the smallest things, and also an exceedingly faithful economist for my children, - how great must be the blindness of a man who wants to contest My constant, all-encompassing Fatherly care for My children?!
Oh, my dear children! Do believe me! I am occupied day and night caring even for the growth of every hair on your body, which will soon perish together with your body; then how much more will I care for your immortal souls and your eternal spirit out of me?!
(The Fly, 6:31-32)
Imagine that in it there is not a single little point that is without life and without intelligence and that even that which is in your eyes dead and which seems to be completely without life, is not dead and without life, but only judged by Gods almighty will, just like you yourselves can observe from a heavenly body or from its apparent lifeless elements.
However, if all heavenly bodies with their most diverse elements are nothing else and also cannot be anything else except ideas and thoughts of Himself that are fixed by Gods almighty will, then how can they be considered by men as dead and without any intelligence? If God, who is identical with the endless space and its eternal time, is in Himself entirely the highest and most perfect Life, then how can that which wholly comes out of Him be dead, without life and without intelligence? (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 76 :15-17)
Behold, all matter of this earth from the hardest rock up to the ether high above you is soul substance, however in a necessary and thus consolidated state. Its destination however is to return to an unbound, pure spiritual being, if it has reached, by this isolation, the necessary life independence. But to reach this continuously increasing self-activity, the soul freed from bound matter must go through all possible levels of life and must in each new level of life wrap itself anew in a material body, from which the soul again attracts new life - and activity substances and makes it her own. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 15, 4:3)
Believe Me, every man possesses hidden within his spirit the countless wonders circling about and revolving in for you immeasurable spaces. Therefore, aim first of all at your spirits full awakening, and what no eye has ever seen and no sense has ever felt, you will always, in greatest clarity, see within yourselves and also genuinely perceive through all other senses. Those who truly recognize and love God in Me, the Son of Man, will already in this life enjoy a bliss of the glory of which until now, no mans heart has ever perceived or felt anything. But merely on the way of science, no man will ever get there.
(The Great Gospel Of John III, 175:8-9)
For there is only life in the truth, and therefore, to search for the truth is the only blissful activity that warms the heart of man and will more and more awaken the divine spirit that lives in him, while in laziness, in the lie and the unwillingness to search for the divine truth there is not only physical death but it is especially the cause that the soul will more and more be lost in material things. By that he will not only cause an early physical death but he will also make himself incapable to progress in the life in the beyond and search for his only salvation there." (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 25, 26:12)
The seed for the true knowledge of God and the living faith in Him is in the first place the love for fellowman, and in that, also the pure love for God. However, if someone is already so heartless that he cannot even lovingly help his poor fellowman whom he can see, then how will he, in the hard blindness of his soul, be able to love God whom he impossibly can and want to see and be aware of?
(The Great Gospel of John, Book 22, 78:13-14)

Therefore, all of you should not be just idle hearers of My Word, but diligent doers, only then will you begin to notice its blessings within you. For life is action and not stagnation of the powers on which life depends. And so life must be preserved even for eternity through the constant activity of all its powers, for in the lying-down-torest there is no permanent life. The certain feeling of well-being you gain from rest is nothing else but a partial death of the powers needed for living. The person who then increasingly enjoys the inactive rest, especially of the spiritual life-powers, thereby also slides ever more into the arms of actual death from which no God will easily free him. Once idleness has made itself at home in a soul there soon follows also depravity. For idleness is nothing else but a self-indulging love which all the more flees any activity for someone elses sake because it basically wants only one thing, namely, that all others should work for its benefit. (The Great Gospel Of John I, 220:7-9, 15)

But if a person intents now and then to do something serious and will say: Lord, from now on I will persevere steadfastly with my plan, but then, going outside, there are again such tempting things in the world that come to him, so that he cannot turn his senses away from them and he becomes although not bad again weak, yes, such a person cannot progress, remains on the same spot and comes by that not even for one fourth to the mastery over the lusts of his senses. In that case, in which his love is wandering to and fro between the charms of the world and Me, and comes not even for half on My side, yes, then I cannot yet support this person who is like a weather vane and give him full steadfastness. For since man has a free will, which has been given to him for the sake of his life, he himself should first make a good start. The full completion is then My concern. If you have understood this in the right way, then act accordingly, then My help will not stay away. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 19 , 99:5-6)
But the teachers must therefore not fancy themselves, that they as teachers and wise are standing higher with Me than the children of this earth; for with Me it will always count and apply: Let these small ones come to Me and do not hold them back!
Since who will not be like these little children, will not enter My kingdom; since it belongs to them and for the sake of them it is made. Who however is a wise man and therefore a teacher and at the same time is wholeheartedly totally humble and gentle, will one day also be there where I will be a true Father among My children from eternity to eternity! (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 15, chap. 48)
When I say that the Kingdom of God can only be taken into possession as a child, then I do indeed not mean the physical being of a child, but only being a child in your heart. A child has no pride, no anger, no hatred, no tendency for fornication, no lasting passion and also no impatience. He surely cries if something has been done to him, but he also soon lets himself be comforted and forgets the sadness that he had and embraces the benefactor with all love. So should every person be in his heart and his mind, then the Kingdom of God is already his possession. Now if you understand this now, you surely will not have to ask how a person as a child should take the Kingdom of God into possession? (The Great Gospel Of John VIII, 165:20)
No mortal eye can see nor ear hear and no earthly sense can ever grasp what beyond in the Kingdom of Heaven awaits those who become worthy of being called children of God. For, before the eyes of true children of God the earths, suns and moons shall be floating like glimmering dust. Therefore, do not be only hearers, but be doers of My Word. Only the deed will let you recognise whether the words I have spoken to you, and am still speaking, are coming to you from the mouth of a man or from Gods mouth."[John 7:17] (The Great Gospel Of John, 140:7-9)
How does man become aware that his soul has united with its indwelling true Spirit of God? - That he verily easily perceives within. When you no longer feel within yourself any pride, any unnecessary ambition, thirst for glory, envy, greed, love for splendor and self-love, but instead feel all the more living, true love for the fellowman and for God and a true, heart-warming joy when in an emergency you have shared all that you possess with your poor, suffering brothers and sisters; indeed, when you feel great sorrow in your heart for not being able to help some poor, when God means everything to you, but the whole earth with all its treasures nothing, then your soul has already united with the Spirit of God within, has attained to perfect eternal life, is wise and able, wherever necessary, to perform miracles by merely willing it." (The Great Gospel Of John V, 51: 3 on)
"Therefore, I have prepared the new way in such a manner that My Spirit, which I am now laying - and have laid as a spark of My fatherly love into the heart of every soul, be nurtured through your love for Me and thereby kindled truly and actively into love for fellowman, that it may grow within your soul, and after attaining the proper size and strength, completely unite and become one with the purified soul, which act shall and will be called 'rebirth of the spirit'. However, this spark of My love will not be laid in its fullness into the heart of a soul until a man has heard My word and accept it in his heart in faith and love for the truth. Unless this is the case, no man, however perfected in his soul, can attain to the rebirth of the spirit. For the spark of My love does not enter the heart of your soul without My word as I am speaking it to you now. Henceforth, also infants, consecrated to Me and baptized upon My word and in My name, shall receive the spirit spark of My love into the heart of their soul. However, this will not grow with a wrong upbringing, but only with an upbringing according to My order which I have now shown you in all clearness." (The Great Gospel Of John IV, 20:9-11)
Verily, I say to you: Without the right love you will not find God, never recognize Him properly and will therefore also not be able to come close to Him! Only love shows you the right way to Him, - your mind forever never! But who does not find the way to God, does also not find the way to his very own life and therefore walks in darkness and on the road of judgment and everlasting death. (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 138:17)
Therefore, for every soul, only one thing is necessary: that he would search for My Kingdom of life in himself in the little chamber of the heart of the original life, and would also find it. All the rest, he will receive from Me as a free gift anyway.
For this reason I have already told you many times that you do not have to be fearfully worried about what and where you will receive food and drink and with what you will clothe your body, but to search most of all My Kingdom and its true justice in you. All the rest will be added to it just like that, because the Father in Heaven knows what you need for your earthly livelihood. If you work today, and you eat and drink, then you sufficiently have taken care of the difficulties of the day. Therefore, on the day that you work, it would be useless to worry for the day of tomorrow. If you will experience that one it will bring along its own worries. For only the day that you are still alive and working is written on your account by Me. The future one rests still in My hand and you are not responsible for that one yet. And therefore, it is foolish to worry in an earthly way already today for the day of tomorrow, for it depends only on Me if ever I will give man to let him experience the following day. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 19, 9:14-16)

He who will not search will also not find, the one who will not knock, for him will also not be opened. He who believes that the spiritual knowledge of that which is good and true must search for him so that it would automatically fall to him on his regular worldly ways, can wait eternally to receive it. The one who, out of indolence and because of worldly businesses, avoids to make even a little detour to search for the source of the truth, although he already heard about it, belongs to the worldly people to whom the Lord will say at the end of times: You heard about Me and did not search Me. Now I do not search you, although I know that you are there. Go away from Me and go to where your love draws you." (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 25, 23:10)

Your head can create countless gods for you, but what are they? Verily I say unto you, - nothing but vain, lifeless patterns produced by the brain with its loose mechanisms; only in the heart shall you find a God, and this One is true, because the love in which you found the only true God is itself Truth.
This Truth therefore can be sought and found only in Truth; but the head has done its share if it has delivered you the key to Truth. Yet everything that urges and draws you towards love can be a key to truth; hence follow such attraction and urge and enter upon the love of your heart, and you shall find the truth which shall free you from all deception! (The Great Gospel Of John I, 69:10-11)

I am not like a weak person who is afflicted with all kinds of passions, but I have come into this world to help all people who will believe in Me and will live and act according to My teaching. And so I am now as I was before, even before this Earth was created. I love also those people who still do not know Me and have never known Me. And also to them the gospel will be preached at the right moment. Whoever will take that at heart will receive eternal life, but whoever will not accept the gospel, will remain in the ancient judgment and the ancient death. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 20, 41:5)
Therefore be always and constantly merciful, and you will always find mercy with Me! The way you are behaving towards the poor brothers and sisters, I will behave towards you. I say and advise it to all of you: Be always prepared to serve each other, outbid each other to do good, truly love each other, just as I love you, and you will show to all the world that you are truly My disciples and in your spirit are fully My true children.
This is the destination of all My children, that they on this earth should continuously exercise themselves regarding the business in My heavens; since there everything has to do with love only, and each wisdom which does not originate from the flame light of love, will forever never find any acceptance in My heavens and likewise will not get anything to do! (The Great Gospel Of John IV, 97:8-9)
He who is in complete order within himself is also a master over all wordly conflict and therefore able to endure in any political society, no matter of what nature. I Myself am also on this earth and adapt Myself as to My outer person to the order prescribed by the Roman emperor, never being in opposition to the same, not even seemingly. Do I thereby lose the order of My innermost divine nature? By no means! I am who I am, unchanged. And My counsel is also accepted by those bearing the rulers might in their hands. Believe Me, one who has truly become a master over his own self, can easily become a ruler over a whole nation. The people will appoint him themselves by rushing to him for advice. Of course, such an attitude requires also that indomitable courage that knows no fear of death. Yet how should he fear it who is clearly aware of eternal life within, well knowing that those that slay the body cannot harm the soul but that the soul makes an inconceivable gain shedding the body. Therefore, do strive above all to become perfect masters over your own self, and you will also be masters over all the laws and all judgement and not subject to the curse of some foolish wordly law. THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST (The Great Gospel of John V, 133: 4 on) through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
He who worries about earth and flesh is a fool; for just as man's flesh has its end, so will it be with the earth! When however the end of the earth shall once have come for sure, on which ground shall the poor soul have its dwelling then?! But I say unto you that every man whose body is taken from him also loses the earth forever. And if he has not created a new earth in his heart through love, then his soul shall have to expose itself to the mercy of the winds and the clouds and mists and be driven about throughout everlasting infinity without finding pause or rest, other than in the false and insubstantial configurations of its own fantasy, which becomes feebler and darker the longer it lasts, eventually turning into thickest night and darkness, from which the soul shall by itself hardly ever find its way out!

Hence you can in future do as I have just shown you; but for now do as you want to and can do! (The Great Gospel Of John, I, 58: 5-6)
And the Father is in Me, as I am always and eternally in Him, and I give you the full assurance that I will never leave you behind as orphans, until the end of times of this Earth. Truly I say to you: who truly loves Me and keeps My commandments I will come to him and reveal Myself to him, and then everyone will be able to convince himself that he is not like an orphan in this world. The one to whom I will reveal Myself to him in this manner should however not keep it to himself, but should also tell this comfort to his brothers, so that also they may be comforted and strengthened by that. Who gladly will strengthen the weak, comfort the sorrowful and gladly will help those who are suffering, can in all these things expect tenfold the reward of life from Me. You always can be completely sure about that. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 42:14-16)


Only those people who in their soul are trying to become like Him or are already more or less like Him, will be able to find God. But to become equal to God means: to become full of love for your fellowmen, and to let your heart be full of humility, meekness, patience and mercy regarding everybody. Then God will also have mercy on you, and in the spirit of His love and eternal truth He will let Himself be found by you. If you only want to search God in and with the only truth, then you will find Him indeed, but you will not see His real being and even less understand it. However, if you are searching God in the pure love, humility, meekness, patience and mercy, then you will find God, recognize Him and receive the eternal life of your soul. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 17, 19:3-5 )
Thus life, as a spirit-spark everlastingly flowing out from Me, is that which imparted to the first atoms in the great ether the energy to solidify, made from them worlds and suns, endowing them with all the wonders of creation and populating them. And it will ultimately lead them back on the same road, so as to build from the remnants again other spiritual and superior dwellings for freer, greater spirits.

The life out of Me is infinite; likewise the effect it produces. He who fails to understand his own life or the life of the world surrounding him in this sense, fails to understand the meaning of the concept of God, of the Creator. He is unable to grasp the idea of a loving Father, who is, and has been, doing everything to be loved, revered and also recognized by His created beings. (Secrets of life, chap. 19)
Before God and to the advantage of the own inner, spiritual life, every person, either rich or poor, can exercise neighborly love; it depends only on a truly living good will, whereby everyone with all devotion does with pleasure, what he is able to do. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 9, 3:8)

Whilst in worldly things we are mainly dependent on others, in the spiritual your own innermost being is the greatest storehouse where all the treasures of an infinite world of the spirit are lying concealed. It is within you that I can reveal Myself as the Father, as the Son and as the Supreme Spirit.
On this revelation depend your peace and equanimity and, thanks to it, you learn to regard all the troubles in your life not as punishment but as wise and necessary trials. Then you begin to fully comprehend the words: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden!" Love, a heavenly Father's everlasting, infinite love, has put this burden upon you, but it also helps you carry it. Then the suffering and troubles of temporal life are no longer misery, but blessings from a Father Who does not want to make of His children worldly masters, but spiritual pioneers for His teaching of love - already here and one day in that everlasting kingdom. (Lords Sermons, chap. 2)
LOVE and PATIENCE are the two greatest things for everything in this world, as well in everlasting infinity. (The Great Gospel Of John X, 68:1)
"That which you call the infinity of space is the spirit of My will, which has from eternity created the endless spaces and filled them with all kinds of beings. This spirit, however, has a centre, a formed being, in which all the might of this infinite spirit is concentrated to a unified working. This might-centre of the infinite being of God is love as the life of this spirit and this love am I from eternity. Although the Spirit of God can work everywhere, it cannot present Itself in a form without love. Wherever God shows Himself to finite beings in a form, He manifests Himself through His love, which is the actual fundamental essence of God and the rallying-point for all might, power and holiness of His infinite Spirit. Behold, that is God's true being, and it can only be comprehended with the heart, never with the intellect!" (The Household of God II, 139:20-22)
But the endless glory of God does not have the power and can impossibly have it to create Gods outside of Himself, who are completely equal to Him. For if He would be able to do that, He would be able to create besides the one endless universe also other equally endless universes, of which any somewhat clearly thinking person can already see from a distance that this is the purest nonsense. For if the first universe is endless in all imaginable directions, then where must the second equally endless universe begin? A second perfect God with the fullest endless glory is therefore quite as unimaginable as a second endless universe. And so you can clearly see that I who am now just like you walking as a Son of Man in the flesh, am not a second but only the one and the same God who I was since eternity before all created beings and also will remain in all eternity. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 74:2-3) THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST
I said: Yes, yes, it could indeed be different (on earth), as it is different on countless many other planets; but then exactly this Earth would not be chosen for the cultivation of those people who are designated and called to become My children! Can true, powerful love ever become fully aware of itself among human beings who themselves are pure love? What object on which to practice patience, humility and meekness could be given to people filled with love from birth? If I had endowed every man's nature with the highest degree of perfection from birth, not requiring his own effort, what practice in life- and self-development would be thinkable for him? For what activity could such spirits finally be used? I tell you: The trees of the wood and the rocks of the mountains in the very most indispensable self-activity would be many times more preferred than a person quite perfected in every respect right from birth on! (The Great Gospel of John, Book 12, 52:2-5)

Unless I allowed errors to creep in among mankind, but only allow the truth with its certain and necessary effects, men would be like the richest gluttons and sensualists, who in the end do nothing else but care stupidly for the timely filling of their belly. Provide for all people the easiest for the body, and you can be quite certain that soon there will be no priest, no king, no soldiers, but also, no citizen, no peasant and no worker and tradesman left. For why should a man work or be active in something, seeing that he is anyway from top to bottom well provided for his whole life? Therefore, people must suffer want and misery, as well as pain and grief, lest man die in most inactive indolence. (The Great Gospel Of John III, 168:5-7)
Believe Me: our Jehovah is since eternity the only true, good, living God and has never failed to answer the supplications of those who without doubting believed in Him, who have kept His commandments and thus also who loved Him above all and their fellowman as themselves. Even if He sometimes delayed to completely answer their supplications in order to purify their souls all the more, but He still has never failed to answer them completely and has always fulfilled them, often at a moment when those who prayed for it thought about it in the least.
(The Great Gospel Of John IX, 20:1)

NO ONE WILL COME TO ME UNLESS HE IS DRAWN TO ME BY THE FATHER. You must all be taught by the Father, that is, by the eternal love in God, if you want to come to Me. You must all be as perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect. Yet neither great knowledge, nor the greatest deal of experience will get you there, but only the active love for God and, in the same measure, for the neighbor. Therein lies the great secret of the rebirth of your spirit out of God and within God." (The Great Gospel Of John IV, 1:4)
Do not ever forget to what end you were created! Use every minute and every word from Me to fulfill this purpose, for soon the time will come when the grain and the chaff will be separated. Happy they who have used time and word in such a way that they, raised as corn for a fertile, invigorating bread for the heavens, can confidently continue on the road to perfection, when I shall come, as the sole Shepherd, to gather My sheep under My protection, which will certainly happen soon! (Secrets of life, chap. 18)

Even in your human-earthly life, what is life without love? Where is there a sentiment equal to love! What renders also nature beautiful and sublime? What is there in music that evokes exalted feelings? What is it that inspires and warms the poor, suffering, enduring heart?
It is the ray of love which wafts around you through the material nature and penetrates the invisible spiritual spheres, moving, urging you on towards an embrace, a drawing near to another person, where you again perceive the beating of a heart which, like yours, beats for the beautiful and holy.
What would be all that you see visible before you, did not this spiritual bond pass through all living beings, and what would unite Me with you, drawing you to Me, and Me to you, if not love? This holy, blissful feeling, which reaches from the physical limits of your nature to far beyond all stars, where in eternal bliss and tranquility is waiting the One who gave you this gift as His very own self and wants to let you feel that without love, the world would have been created in vain! (Secrets of life, chap. 16)
Man, as My complete image, must also have a perfect free will by which he has to as far as his spiritual part is concerned transform and strengthen himself, and make himself free from My omnipotence, so that one day he may stand next to Me and live and act as a strong, free, independent and arbitrary being. Look, all creatures are subject to laws, which are established by Me.
Also man, where his body is concerned. Only the soul and the spirit of man are not. That is, as far as his will and the freedom of learning and the realization of everything are concerned. The form and the structure of the soul in all its parts is of course also subject to laws which are established by Me, but only in such a way, that, precisely because of the free will in man, he can become either very noble and strong or very ignoble and weak. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 17, 40:3-4)
Where people are called to become complete spirits and beings equal to God, also the opposite direction must be possible for their freedom of will to have free allowance to become a complete devil, who however by his own fault will have to bear in a miserable way that which he has caused by his own will.
Therefore, I will judge and punish no one by My omnipotence for his bad deeds, but this does the one himself and also the unchangeable law of My eternal order, which has been made known to everyone by the way of the light of the many revelations, already since the first beginning of the existence of man on this Earth. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 21:11)
Whoever sees and hears Me, believes easily and can also live and act easily according to My word. But he who in the future will not see Me anymore physically will have it more difficult to attain to the true, living Kingdom of God, for he must believe what the messengers who are send out will tell him about Me. However, if he willingly accepts what he hears in his believing heart, and will feel true joy because of the truth that he heard, then soon the baptism of the Spirit from Me will come over him, and then he will see the opened gate to Gods Kingdom. From that point on, also for those who were no witness of My presence now, the way to Gods Kingdom will be easy.
(The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 26:2-3)

Happy he who comes to Me and recognizes Me, as you do! For, whoever recognizes Me, has already received a light from Me and then actively believe in Me. But at the present, this light is only a tiny flame within your soul. Not until you have accepted My teaching and with it My will, and act and live accordingly, will your present tiny light become a sun and only then will you attain to the full truth of all life and being and awaken eternal life within you." (The Great Gospel of John X, 88:11-12)

So in Me, there is also the One who came visibly into this world, whom you searched and were not able to find in any school nor in any temple. As I am here now in Myself, being active throughout the whole of infinity, so I will also exist and be active in the spirit in all those who will keep My simple commandments, who believe in Me and who actively will love Me above all. But those who, although they believe in Me and say Lord, Lord, but who are lukewarm in their actions, and careless in their love for their fellowman, I will not live in them and I will not reveal Myself to them, and My power and wisdom will not fill their soul. For since every man has a completely free will, I want that he first comes to Me, completely out of his free will, by acting in everything according to My will that was revealed to him. Then I also will come to him, reveal Myself to him and then fill him with all My wisdom and power by the Holy Spirit of My eternal love that rules everywhere. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 22, chap. 26:4-6)
Firstly the truth will remain one and the same truth, even without signs, and whoever will live and act accordingly will become deeply inside aware that My teaching is divine and not a human word.
Secondly, those who will transmit My teaching about the Kingdom of God in man to others and who will not only be teachers but who they themselves will also do My will that is clearly contained in My teaching, will also be capable to perform signs in My name, and even greater signs than I am performing Myself." (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 51:1-2)
However, as concerns the outer form of the revelation, this must adapt to the given situation. Outwardly it must, therefore, necessarily appear contradictory, whereas it is within itself in perfect harmony. Look, for instance, at the written word of the Old, as well as the New Testament. How many thousands of branches, twigs and roots would you notice therein? Outwardly, there seem to be many contradictions. [] Whoever seeks the inner meaning starting from the outer aspect, will surely lose his way and hardly find it." (The Natural Sun, 69:8-9)
Know this, that no message from God may come from the heavens fully unveiled to men on earth, but every such message is always enclosed in a covering. Without such a covering, no message from the heavens, being as such purely spiritual, could be received by men. (The Spiritual Sun II, chap. 15)
Yes, My children! There is a higher life, a life that reaches far beyond all that is transient and even in the rock is infinite. For also the rock changes only its form and chemical structure, but it too does not become nothing, and whatsoever is infinite in the rock, owing to its origin from Me, which in the plant and animal kingdom and in the human race is even more distinctly expressed, this imperishable something is the bond uniting the material with the spiritual world, and both with Me! (Secrets of life, chap. 19)
"So as to be on the safe side, believe only Me, listen only to My voice in your hearts, which does not deceive, and do not let yourselves be deluded by clever, self-seeking interpreters of My Word. Here the word holds good: 'Examine what you hear and read; adhere to the good and eliminate the bad.' (Secrets of life, chap. 8 )


"The Father, I, as the Son, and the Holy Spirit are, distinguishably, one and the same from eternity. The Father within Me is eternal love and as such the first cause and the actual primal substance of all things that fill all infinity. I, as the Son, am the light and wisdom going forth from the fire of eternal love. This mighty light is God's eternal, most perfect selfawareness, His clearest self-knowledge and the eternal Word in God by which everything that exists has been made. In order to make it possible for all this to be made, also God's mighty will is needed and this is the Holy Spirit within God that gives the works and beings their full existence. The Holy Spirit is the great, uttered word 'Let there be!' - and what love and wisdom within God have determined, comes into existence. And behold, all this is now within me: Love, wisdom and all might! Thus, there is only one God, and that is I, and I have assumed a human body like yours, solely in order to reveal Myself - as is now the case - to you men of this earth whom I have created completely in My image out of the primal substance of My love. (The Great Gospel of John VI, 230:3-6)

Man consists of three things, namely, of body, soul and spirit. My love is eternal, and thus everything that has originated, originates and will eternally originate from it, is actually also eternal. The living spirit in man is My eternal love and wisdom that creates, arranges and maintains everything, and this spirit is actually the true and in itself already eternal man in man, who, in order to become independent, covers himself, only in the course of time, with a soul and a body according to My eternal order in him, and steps thus into an outer visible form.
(The Great Gospel of John, Book 21, 53:9-10)
"I tell you that it is now not even necessary that you go with Me, but if following an inner prompting you want to do so out of love for Me, you will thereby not only lose nothing, but gain tenfold in everything. For whoever does something out of true love for Me will here be rewarded tenfold, but once in My Kingdom a hundredfold, also a thousandfold and endlessly." (The Great Gospel Of John I, 93:10)
None of you have as yet understood why I uncover and explain to you all the depths of My creation, all the innermost aspects of My divine self.
Behold, My dear ones, the reason for all this is, to instill into you the very thing lacking in all of you, meaning, the trust in Me. For when together with Me you traverse the immeasurable spaces of My infinity, when I open up to you My spiritual heavens, giving you an inkling of what is there being kept and prepared for you; when I reveal to you My own self, which is nothing but love and in return wants only love; when I prove to you down to the smallest atoms that I, the Creator and Father, sustain everything with the same love, I only want to prove to you that a Being possessed of this might and strength, as which I am showing Myself to you, should surely be worthy of trust and that, compared to My omniscience and omnipotence, all your activity and behavior must be considered as below the level of Zero. (Secrets of life, chap. 12)
What does it actually mean to fear God? To fear God means: to love God above all as the eternal, highest and purest love, and, because God is the highest truth, to remain in the divine truth and not to adhere to the lie of the world out of material self-interest. Whoever is truthful in everything has the true fear of God in his heart, and he who has that, will always worship God in the right way. For as the lie is a very great dishonoring of God, so also is the pure and living truth a continuous and highest glorification and truest worship of God. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 21, 54:5-6)
Love for Me, great goodness of heart, love for all men this is also the true sign of rebirth. Where this is lacking and there is not enough meekness in adversity, neither halo nor cassock nor spiritual visions are of any avail; and people of this kind are sometimes further from the Kingdom of God than others with a very worldlyloocking face. For the Kingdom of God never comes with outer pomp, but only within the quiet of human heart! Do imprint this as deeply as you can onto your heart, and you will find the Kingdom of God much more easily than many a one thinks. (Earth, chap. 70)
I am the Lord over everything in heaven and on earth, in Me is all might, power and strength, and yet I am from all My heart full of love, humility, gentleness, patience, goodness and mercy. Let all of you be likewise, and thereby one will see that you are truly My disciples. (Great Gospel of John X, 90:4)
True, pure and living love is in itself completely unselfish. It is full of humility, active, full of patience and compassion. It will never unnecessary burden anyone and will gladly tolerate everything. It does not take pleasure in the need of its fellowman, but is always trying to help everyone who needs help. So also, pure love is chaste in the highest degree and does not feel pleasure in the lustfulness of the flesh. But the purity of the heart is all the more pleasing to it. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 18, 42:13-14)
However, the people of this earth I called forth from the center of My heart and created them fully in My image. They were meant to be not just My creatures, but My beloved children who were not meant to perceive Me as God and Creator, but as their good Father who will, after a short trial period, take them back into His house to share everything with Him, dwell with Him everlastingly and rule and judge the universe with Him. And behold, all my creatures love Me as their Creator and gratefully enjoy their existence; but My children do not want their Father and reject His love. Behold, it saddens Me when I see how every You ask Me again how hour thousands upon thousands wither this could be possible. Oh yes, and pass away. Oh, if I could only I tell you, it is quite possible. Behold, Help them! Is it not sad when all My creatures are held by My might, but the Almighty cannot help? My children by My love. My might commands, and it is obeyed, whereas My love only desires and gently bids the free children, but the free children refuse THE NEW REVELATION to listen and do not want to face their Father. Because they of JESUS are free, as I am, I cannot help them if it is against their will. My CHRIST might surpasses everything, but My will is subject to My children. through But let everyone note this: I am your Father and am also your God and Jakob Lorber & beside Me there is none other. Do you want Me as a Father or as a God? Gottfried Your actions shall give Me the final answer. Mayerhofer (The Household of God I, 2:3-5)
"Now look, My children! Human dignity is really nothing else but the constant acting, thinking and willing in accordance with My laws of love! I, love personified, have created you out of love, and so you, the created, must strive to emulate this Creator, who laid the spark of love into you as much as it is within your power. This is the actual fundamental meaning of love, of the dignity of man, who, curbing his passions of anger, hatred or revenge, does, suffers and feels everything only out of love, only for others.
Thus the material, physical man with his human needs is hallowed, spiritualized through the sublime warmth of a divine love, more worthy of his actual descent and more capable of understanding his Creator and of drawing near Him.
For every good man heaven will be exactly where he is at a given moment, and all the good and pure of his kind will immediately be very close to him. It is not a case of: 'Behold, here or there, perhaps beyond all the stars, is heaven and perhaps somewhere deep down below the earth is hell.' All this does not depend on this time and on this space and, being without any outer pomp like some idle temple ceremony, but within the innermost being of man himself. Therefore, as man's innermost is constituted, so will be the world in the beyond which he has created for himself out of himself and in and on which he will then live in either a good or a bad way. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 14, 4:8-9)
If man closely follows this new teaching, his hither-to bound spirit becomes ever freer, grows and, finally, permeates the whole man, thus drawing everything into his life. This life is of God and must, therefore, last forever in the highest possible degree of bliss. Every man thus reborn in the spirit, as it were, will never see, feel or taste death, and to be separated from his flesh will give him the greatest happinesss. For the spirit of man which is thus at one with his soul can then be likened to a man in a dark prison, who can through a small hole look out into the open country and watch free people enjoying themselves with all sorts of activities, while he has to languish in prison. How glad he must be if the jailer opens the door and frees him from his chains, saying: Friend, you are free from further punishment and can now go and enjoy the fullest freedom! But such a blissful goal can only be reached by the painstaking and sincere adherence to My commandments of love. (The Great Gospel of John III, chap. 53)
He who will not search will also not find, the one who will not knock, for him will also not be opened. He who believes that the spiritual knowledge of that which is good and true must search for him so that it would automatically fall to him on his regular worldly ways, can wait eternally to receive it. The one who, out of indolence and because of worldly businesses, avoids to make even a little detour to search for the source of the truth, although he already heard about it, belongs to the worldly people to whom the Lord will say at the end of times: 'You heard about Me and did not search Me. Now I do not search you, although I know that you are there. Go away from Me and go to where your love draws you.'" (The Great Gospel of John, Book 25, 32:10)
My eternal complete free will is the law over My thoughts and ideas that have indeed since eternity their visible existence only in Me. However, if according to My love it would please Me to bring them to a firm and independent existence, then My wisdom places My will as law over My thoughts and ideas, and then those become realities, as if outside of My Being.
And further, they have to continue to exist as external independent realities as long as My love and wisdom allows My will as law of all laws to rule expertly and efficiently over them. .(The Great Gospel of John, Book 18, 85:7)
"All I experienced during My earthly life, beginning with My birth and ending with the cross, namely, My teaching, My suffering and conflicts, My love and meekness, My grace and forgiveness and the forgetting of all My might, My immense patience with erring mankind, all this was correspondingly laid into every tiny spirit-particle. And what I, as an example, experienced, suffered and fought for on earth, had long ago been determined in every created being, in all matter, wherever a spark out of Me was hidden, so that even the smallest spirit-atom may consistently absolve, together with its great Creator, the same course which shall ultimately raise the spirit above matter.
Thus the triumphant rising from level to level will actually prove that, just as there are laws relating to matter, laws of repulsion and attraction, there exist also moral, sublime, spiritual laws which, grounded in Myself, constitute My own Being and the permanence of all that was created . (Secrets of life, chap. 24)

Whoever wishes to talk with Me, let him come to Me and I shall lay the answer in his heart. But only the pure whose heart is full of meekness shall hear the sound of My voice. And he who prefers Me to all the world and loves Me like a tender bride her bridegroom, with him I shall walk arm in arm, and he will always behold Me like a brother his brother, and as I beheld him from eternity, before he was.
(The Household of God I, 1:1-2)
Tell those who seek Me: I am the true 'everywhere' and 'nowhere'. I am everywhere where people love Me and keep My commandments and nowhere where I am only praised and worshipped. For is not love more than prayer and the keeping of the commandments more than worship?
Verily, verily, I say to you: He who loves Me worships Me in spirit, and he who keeps My commandments is the one who truly reveres Me. But only he who loves Me can keep My commandments, and the one who loves Me has only one commandment that he love Me and My living Word which is the true everlasting life. (The Household of God I, 1:4)
Tell the weak from My mouth: I am a powerful God. Let them all turn to Me and I shall perfect them.
Of the flycatcher I shall make a lion-tamer, and the fearful shall destroy the world, and the mighty of the earth shall be scattered like chaff. (The Household of God I, 1:5)
Tell the sick, they shall not grieve about their sickness, but turn to Me in all earnest and trust Me completely. I shall comfort them, and a stream of the most precious balm will flow into their heart, and the fountain of eternal life will inexhaustibly manifest within them. They will recover and shall be refreshed like the grass after a downpour. (The Household of God I, 1:3)
Tell the fearful mothers not to raise their daughters to be afraid of men and the world. For what one fears one blindly obeys when the temptation arises and those who are feared have an easy victory. Let them teach their daughters rather to respect and love Me that I may be the victor and they despise the world and least on My boundless love. They shall not take them to public places to find a husband, but to Me. Let them bring them to Me and I tell you: Not one of their desires shall remain unblessed and unsatisfied.
For I am a rich God who has plenty of everything which He can - and will - give in abundance. (The Household of God I, 2:2)
Tell the gamblers that they first gamble away their life and eventually everything that has been given to them for their life. For gambling is a well filled with poisonous dirt. The gamblers believe it to be a hidden source of gold and keep burrowing in it daily, inhaling its pestilential odor, poisoning themselves through and through and finding their spirit's eternal death, instead of the imagined gold. (The Household of God I, 1:8)
Those who are fashion-crazy tell in all earnest that they will be standing naked before their most just judge. Their splendor will vanish like bubbles. Their lust for power and pomp shall end in the lowest slavery, and they will be ashamed of their foolishness everlastingly. Is not he a great fool who wants to have a rubbish heap gold plated and has gems set in the worst kind of dirt instead of gold! Oh, that there are so many lunatics in the world these days! They regard the light as darkness and the darkness as light! (The Household of God I, 1:11)
Tell the dancers openly that Satan manipulates them all. He seizes them all by their feet and whirls them around to make them dizzy enough so that they can neither stand nor walk, nor sit, nor sleep, nor rest, nor see, hear, feel, smell or taste, nor sense, for they are all dead and, therefore, can neither be advised nor helped. And even if they wished to turn to Me, they would feel like somebody whom a strong one had seized by the feet and whirled around. If he were to look up to the sky he would not see the sun, but only a bright streak blinding him so that he would close his eyes, unwilling to see anything anymore. The person whose physical eyes are blind has still the possibility of seeing with his spiritual eyes. But he, who has turned blind in his spirit, remains so in eternity. (The Household of God I, 1:6)
Tell the love-makers: Whoever walks in the flesh, walks in death and his lust will soon become the food of maggots. Only he who walks in the spirit will reach the light, the original source of life. His share will remain forever and keep increasing. (The Household of God I, 1:10)
What God has joined, no man should separate, and thus a true marriage remains indissoluble for all eternity. A false worldly bond is no bond before God in any case and therefore can be dissolved like worldly men and all their bonds, which are nothing but plain whoring in advance, through which Satans children are brought into miserable being. You two therefore are now fully husband and wife, and one flesh before God, Amen. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 3, 36:9)
Those who have the Scriptures, but do not read them are like thirsty men beside a well with pure water which, however, they do not want to drink, either because of a certain spiritual dread of water like rabid dogs that instead of drinking some water and recovering will rather bite into the hardest stones to quench their thirst, or very often because of a certain indolence, they prefer to be served by certain idle servants stinking slime from the nearest mud-hole to quench their thirst and eventually perish. (The Household of God I, 1:9)
Tell My friends they shall not love My servants more than Me. They shall place their salvation fully in My hands, rather than keep it in their own hands, and completely rely on Me. For the servant must act strictly in accordance with the command, lest he be found unworthy. The giver of the law alone stands above it and can place whomsoever he wishes above it, too. However, as long as they are under the yoke, they shall be judged, but to those who come to Me I can remit judgment. My church on earth is a bath of purification. Let him who has washed himself come to Me that I may dry him with the warmth of My love and keep him with Me. But the one who only enjoys the splashing and dabbling will fare, as do the mill wheels, which never get out of the water. If someone has performed the works of true repentance, let him come to Me, and I will receive him like a prodigal son and keep him within My strength. For the servant can advise, but I can do it; the servant can instruct, but the salvation is My work; the servant can pray, but I alone can bless. My servant must pass fair judgment, but only the Lord has the right to show mercy. Therefore, let them not forget the Lord over the servants! (The Household of God I, 2:4-6)
Tell My officials and servants: My offices are not banks and changing-offices, for he who serves Me for the sake of money does not serve Me out of love. And the one who does not serve Me out of love is a stranger to Me in his service as I must be a stranger to him since he does not serve Me out of love; with him My account is already closed. And how can he be a faithful servant who sells his master's treasures illicitly like a thief at shameful prices? - Judas Iscariot sold Me at least for 30 pieces of silver not knowing in advance what would happen to Me; for he was deluded and became lost. But now - as already tortured, slain and raised from the dead, I am available every minute for a mere song. Oh, you shameful thieves, you murderers, what can I compare you to? You children of the dragon, you brood of vipers! Are you serving Me like this, must I find you such? I had My dear Paul tell you that he who serves the altar shall also live of the altar, but only from the works of love, which works all that, is good. But you have no works of love and are, therefore, robbers and thieves and murderers of the Gospel and all truth. Know then: As the work, so the reward! Love cannot be had for money, but only for love. (The Household of God I, 2:11)
Tell them also that they must on no account take offence at anything in or about the church, for I purify every food I recommend for the one who wishes to partake of it in spirit and in truth and so he can enjoy it without fear. What I give to My children is clean and is not desecrated through the outer form for those for whom I have blessed it. I shall bless the temple and the place where they are shall be hallowed. For I, their holy Father, shall be in their midst wherever they go, and not a hair on their head shall be hurt. Tell them in no uncertain terms: My love is waiting for them, and I will not close My arms before all of them are resting in My embrace, where they will behold their most loving, holy Father face to face, and their joy will never end. Amen! (The Household of God I, 2:14-15)
There is only a God, and that is I, and I have assumed a human body like yours, solely in order to reveal Myself as is now the case to you men of this earth whom I have created completely in My image out of the primal substance of My love. (The Great Gospel of John VI, 230:6)
That I, as a God, performed miracles was not so wondrous, the really wondrous thing was My love for you, My created beings, and My immense condescension and selfless kindness, meekness, patience and extraordinary humility before the people whom I could annihilate with just a breath.
(The Great Gospel of John VI, 178:2)
"I am he, who writes all the sins into the sand, who neither curses nor hates or is vengeful, but who has always been, and still is, ready to pour balm on gaping wounds. I have never been an unjust God, no more than a strict Father towards my children!" (Secrets of life, chap. 26)
From eternity I never have punished any being, except that it punished itself much the less will I ever punish you for your good and noble heart. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 16, 58:13)
This I now say: I am the sole eternal GOD THE NEW REVELATION in My triune nature, as FATHER in My of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorber & divinity, as SON in My humanity and as Gottfried Mayerhofer SPIRIT in all life, action and cognition. I am from eternity the very love and wisdom. I have never received anything from anyone. Everything that exists is from Me, and whoever possesses something, has it from Me. How can I be a tyrant and one who condemns? - Oh, you fools! I love you and you scorn Me. I am your Father, and you regard Me as an executioner. Where I bless, you curse. Where I build, you destroy. What I raise, you bend down. What I sow, you smother with floods. You oppose Me in everything. If I were as you say that I am, truly I tell you, the earth would long since have ceased to exist; indeed, it would never have been created! However, since I am the way I am, everything is still in existence as it has been and will be forever. And you will be the way you wish to be, without My condemnation, for you will be what you have made of yourselves. But those who accept Me as I am and love Me as I love them, I shall make into what they wish to be so that their freedom and joy may be perfect everlastingly. (The Household of God I, 2:10)
Truly, in the whole of eternity there is not a single case where even one spirit had been condemned by God! But I can show you countless cases where spirits, owing to their freedom of will, scorn and blaspheme the Deity, not for all the world wanting to be dependent on Its endless love, since they fancy themselves to be lords even over Deity!

However, as the Deity can only bestow the abundance of Its endless love on those who wish to enjoy it, it becomes clear that those who hate and scorn the Deity and Its endless love above all and blaspheme It, cannot partake in this love because they stubbornly refuse to do so. ("From Hell to Heaven" I, 24:5-9)
Now if I have come with such intentions to the people in this world, then how could I ever be just like a man be in a bad mood, and who can offend Me? He who has recognized Me and believes in Me and acts according to My teaching will certainly not offend Me, and he who did not recognize Me or who does not want to recognize Me, even if he could recognize Me, cannot offend Me. He only offends himself, since he becomes an enemy of his own life. But I only seek those who are sick in soul and body, to help them, and not the healthy who do not need help. For of what kind of love, wisdom and justice could a doctor be accused if he would hate the sick, would persecute and chastise them, only because they are sick? So change your opinion about Me and remember that He, who speaks to you now, is a true and righteous Doctor for the soul and spirit and in case of emergency also for the body. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 20, chap. 41:5-9)
The world is always the same; a loving heart sees only love, where an embittered one finds hatred and discord, in your heart you do not see the world, but only its reflection; clean the mirror and the reflection of My nature, which is always the same, will soon show itself to you in greater purity. Read My old and My new words; they contain peace and tranquility, which you will seek in vain in the books of scholars. (Secrets of life, chap. 13)
"The worldly understanding of men does not grasp the inner things of the spirit and of living truth, and takes those for fools who bring them news of such." (The Great Gospel of John IX, 132:16)
Tell the children that they must not mock Me, but that they shall take this seriously. Tell them that I am never facetious nor do I appreciate a joke. I take everything seriously concerning the great and the small, the young and the old, male and female. I do not make exceptions. For behold, I instantly and forever destroy My creatures that are useless. But for My children I have plenty of punishments, and I shall discipline the disobedient to the last drop of their blood, when they will surely recognize that I am at least the master of the house if they do not want to accept Me as the loving, holy Father. (The Household of God I, 2:18-19)
To their request for a miraculous sign, I even answered to the Pharisees and scribes that this generation would not be given a sign by Me, which meant that where My visible appearance was the greatest miraculous sign, no additional proof of My deity and the truth and everlasting continuance of My teaching was needed.
And what I then told the Pharisees and scribes, applies also today to all hypocritical churchgoers and to all the scholars of your time developing their philosophies about matter. They, too, will not be seeing any signs because they do not want to accept the greatest sign, the voice of a God and Father in their own hearts. Thus many of your scientists, notwithstanding the constant discoveries of laws of nature, do not believe that there must also be a lawgiver. They would rather dispute their own self away than admit defeat through factual evidence of the existence of God. (The Sermons of the Lord, 32)
How, then, can there ever be One Shepherd and one fold, when the Christs of the various groups are angry with each other, worse than the wild animals of the forest. All such animosity must disappear: To that end I have already engaged laborers in My vineyard. They work diligently and with zeal (for instance, as critics of the gospels, etc); after them will soon come many who will work with still greater zeal and diligence in order that I can come to the people in truth as the true Christ and God of eternities - not as the one I am supposed to be, who, in accordance with the pleasure of each group, has nothing better to do than judging, condemning and being allowed to make only them happy in heaven who have been declared worthy and capable by their churchsuperintendents or other representatives of God ! []
Therefore, grant the sciences their territory of action, for science is an effective sweeping instrument to remove the dirt from the world, and at the same time it is a powerful Hercules, who knows how to clean out the stable of Augias, an action which, though it is a good table of earliest pagan antiquity, can be very well applied still in our days. (Interpretation of Scriptures )
"Every discovery in the field of science is wrongly interpreted by your scientists and exploited only for material ends. Here and there individuals may discover traces of a sublime spiritual power, beyond the elements THE NEW REVELATION that are already well known, but they will of JESUS CHRIST make every effort to explain away what is there right before their noses, in very round through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer about ways and using long - learned scientific terms, or they will invent their own explanation, not wanting to acknowledge that there is a God. If there has to be one, they want to be that god themselves." (Lords Sermons, 52) Therefore, this is a fundamental principle: Prior to dealing with any science, men must become true men, or any science whatever it may be, will harm rather than benefit them. For all science engages only the reason which lodges in the brain; but the heart, as the foundation of life, remains coarse, cruel and wild as that of a beast of prey and works even more evil, with the aid of science, than without it. For with an ungodly heart, science is a true light of evil of every kind and type. Therefore, My friends and brothers, first of all give the blind a true light of life into their heart and let such light at first illumine the souls understanding, then all science will become a true blessing to man. (The Great Gospel Of John III, 175:4-5)
If a worldly-wise man comes and wants to hear the truth from you, do not give it to him for free, but let him pay you a penny for every word; because for such a truth seeker truth only has value if it has cost him a lot! If a poor man comes to you hungry, give him to eat and to drink and do not let him leave as a poor man; however, if someone comes who enjoys sitting at your table, he should pay for what the poor man next to him ate! Support every need for free, and charge every mere pleasure! Did you understand Me? (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 11, 1:11-13)
"What would it profit man if he possessed all the treasures on earth enabling him to enjoy all imaginable pleasures, but thereby harmed his soul?" (The Great Gospel of John VIII, 183:9) "People complain about the hard and difficult way of earning a living. Who makes it so difficult for them? Neither I nor the world, but one person for another! Every one seeks to gain from that which he either had to learn with effort or which fell into his lap without his doing. Who else is it but unscrupulous people, who even use their fellowmen's misfortune to enrich themselves, thus making the cost of living more expensive. Because such people without conscience are now in the majority, refuse to acknowledge a spiritual mission and believe neither in God nor in the immortality of the soul, you see how one seeks to gain advantage over another and none shows himself in his true nature. (Secrets of life, chap. 33)
Let Me tell you this as a truth, full of light: I could as well have come to earth in a giant human shape, accompanied with countless hosts of angels, with fire, lightning, thunder and storm and could have proclaimed the words of grace to you with a mountain-shattering voice of thunder. Not a single person among you would then been able to feel any doubt in his heart, for terror and fear would have immediately paralyzed him, rendering him unable to think at all. Would that have helped anyone towards his true inner liberation? Oh, never! That would have been a judgment for every human soul and a bondage for all minds. Behold, that is why I came into this world quite unknown and in lowliness, so that no human heart would become imprisoned and people would solely through the blessed power of the truth of My words and teaching recognize Me lovingly and freely arrange their lives accordingly. (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 7:7-8)
Does there exists a father with only a little love for his children, who would throw one of his children, who committed a mistake against his order, for the rest of his life into a dungeon and on top of it punishes him daily for as long he lives?! If no human father could do this, who basically as a person is bad, how much less will the Father in heaven do such, who is the everlasting and purest love and goodness Himself! Or just imagine for yourself a truly wise and quite reasonable person on earth! Will he ever approve of an everlasting punishment for a sinner, or will he award such punishment to anybody? Surely not, and even less so the most wise God! (The Great Gospel of John, Book 6, 243:9-10)
"Whoever allows himself to be enticed by the world and its matter (which necessarily must be - and remain - under judgment, or it would not be 'world'), must be considered lost and dead for as long as he cannot forsake the judged matter. Thus, for the sake of the created beings, there must be an eternal judgment, an eternal fire and an eternal death. But from this it does not follow that a spirit imprisoned in judgment must remain imprisoned for as long as this judgment can last - any more than on earth, if you had built a strong prison, the prisoners would be sentenced to remain there for the whole time the prison would last. Is it not obvious to everyone that 'prison' and 'imprisonment' are two different things?
Of course, the prison is - and remains forever, and the fire of My zeal must never go out. But the prisoners remain in the prison only until such time when they have changed and bettered themselves.
(From Hell to Heaven II, chap. 226)

"God's mercy reaches so far that He still looks upon your (Pharisees) abominable sins with forbearance, hoping that you will finally convert and repent. For even a sinner in the middle of hell crying out to his God and Lord for help will find help and redemption.
(The Great Gospel Of John XI, chap. 5)
Thus, truly, there is also an eternal hell - yet no spirit who, on account of his depravity, would be condemned to eternal hell, but only until his betterment. (From Hell to Heaven II, chap. 226)
A man who abandons God, casting Him out from himself and not taking Him up again, necessarily must create a true hell within himself, which must be bad and wicked in everything. If such human spirit then, from such godless state, necessarily fares very badly getting worse with time, then the Deity cannot be blamed. Because if the Deity were to nonetheless take over such being omnipotently in spite of the beings most stubborn resistance, then this would instantly annihilate such being, which would be against all divine order.
For were the Deity to destroy even the smallest being that had once been set free out of Itself, then this would be the start of the destruction of all beings. Since the Deity however unchangeably established Its order for the non-destruction ever of whatsoever being of any self-development, the everlasting enduring of every being is thereby assured, and therewith the possibility of becoming an exceedingly blessed one, or remain unhappy, if desired! (From Hell to Heaven I, 30:9-10)
I also tell you that much less than you think in your foolish belief depends on the temptations through the devils. The true devil is man himself with his worldly desires. From these issue self-love - this is one evil, the passion for a life of luxury - a second devil, ambition, pride, lust for power, anger, revenge, envy, avarice, arrogance, harlotry and contempt for his fellowman all these are devils begotten on man's own ground and soil.
Therefore, you shall not be so scared of the devil nor shall accuse him. However, do accuse yourselves in your conscience and do proper repentance and firmly resolve to become completely different men, and then carry it out. Love God truly above all and the poor neighbor as yourselves, and your many and great sins will be forgiven you. For as long as man does not completely give up sin, he cannot be forgiven it, for sin is man's own doing because it proceeds from his flesh and from the desire of his soul. (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 10:12-13)
And look, so is also the survival of the devils a law that has been placed in them, besides the still personal free will. As long as they do not want to acknowledge Me as the One who I was since eternity, still am and eternally will be, so long will My compelling law also not move away from them, for if I would take away My compelling law, then their independent existence would come an end.
If an already independent existing being improves his life out of his free will now or only after a for you unimaginable long time, and turns to the Kingdom of the truth, is for Me the same. And I will not change My eternal order one hairs breadth for this reason. However, he who wants to have it differently can also do that, because all means are given to him for that. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 85:8-9)
For behold, it says there: Depart from Me, accursed ones! Who cursed them? Impossibly God! Because if God cursed someone, then there would be neither love nor wisdom in Him. If the Deity were to crusade against Its works, would It not actually crusade against Itself for Its own ruin, - instead of fortifying Itself from one eternity to another through the growing perfection of Its works - Its children?!
A being has on the one hand a fully free spirit and will, which actually is grounded in Gods love and wisdom. On the other hand, to isolate it from omnipotence for becoming a truly free being, it also for a while has to have an omnipotently judged body and an outer, judged world with its own stimulants under judgment. Hence it cannot be judged and determined by anyone other than itself. Such free being therefore can be cursed only by itself, that is, completely separate itself from the Deity. (From Hell to Heaven I, 29:2,4,5)
Every soul contains her own spirit, and she cannot detach herself from this spirit. This pure spirit is the opposite of Satans spirit. When such a soul wants to get closer to Satan, the spirit within her opposes her as a judge, imposes punishment, and torments the soul like an inner fire. Through this torment, the soul is removed as far from Satan as possible, so that she may better herself. If she continues to better herself, it becomes easier and easier for her, the closer she comes to the purity of her inherent spirit. Should this improvement continue, and if she attains the condition of her spirit, then the soul may reach bliss. (Earth and Moon, chap. 58)
This is the difference between bliss and damnation: in bliss the entire soul passes over into the spirit, and the spirit is then the actual being. In damnation, the soul wants to expel the spirit and take on another, namely Satans spirit. But since the spirit within her has the opposite polarity, he practices the counter force which repels her severely from Satan. The closer a soul comes to the being of Satan, the more severe is the effect of the spirit within her towards the spirit of Satan.
This reaction is a very painful feeling for the soul. And that is where the suffering and pain in Hell come from. This reaction shows itself in appearance as an inextinguishable fire; that is the worm in the soul that never ever dies and whose fire never becomes extinct. This is one and the same fire that causes the highest bliss in an angel and the greatest calamity in a devil." (Earth and Moon, chap. 58)
The same way of spiritual existence and activity is also found among the souls of those who were called away from all the globes and are now living in the beyond. Also they have freedom of will. They can progress or retrogress, they can do whatever they wish. They can, in a minute, proceed from the hellish torture of a tormenting conscience to the beatitude of an angel; can remain what they were in their lives on earth or become still more wicked through companionship with other, more evil souls. Their sphere of action is limited by nothing but the conditions of existence found on each spiritual level. (The Lords Sermons, 15)

Of course, the total conversion is a rather slow process, but this does not matter, since a total perdition of the soul is forever out of the question. (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 5, 232:2)
But since you also asked where My Heavens may be found, I tell you: My The good and pure spirits are always living in Heavens are wherever the pure light spaces of the free ether space." there are godly, pure and (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 17, 88:8-9) good men and spirits. This whole visible space, that ends nowhere, is Heaven without neither end nor beginning. But only for good men and spirits. However, where evil men and spirits are dwelling, THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST there this space is not a through Heaven, but a Hell, which Jakob Lorber & is judgment and eternal Gottfried Mayerhofer death, showing itself in this world as matter, which in itself is also a judgment and thus death. So whoever is only chasing after the treasures of the world, which is entirely matter, judgment, Hell and death, goes thereby also with his soul into death. Thus, all evil spirits are mostly dwelling in the matter of this Earth.
Where then is that so terribly depicted judgment day, when perhaps only a decillionth of people would get into heaven and all others into hell? How could this One, Who wrote the guilt of an adulteress into the sand of the temple and Who, on another occasion in the presence of many sinners, loudly exclaimed: Come unto Me, all who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest! indeed! How could this One have preached about such a day of terror?
That is the house of My Father! Within this endlessly great house there are many dwelling places. Those who had no opportunity to know Me here nor could listen to My words will certainly find within this great house and opportunity that is purposeful for their everlasting life. Therefore, do not worry about who, now or later, cannot learn of Me; for My Father knows them all. Out of His love and wisdom, He has not called a single one into existence for an everlasting fall, but for an everlasting resurrection.
(Received from the Lord through Jakob Lorber, on March 18, 1864)
I did not open the doors to life only for those ones now living on the earth, but also for all those who have passed over long ago. And many of the sinners of ancient times will have to undergo another brief life-trial in the flesh, as I have already indicated to you. In the beyond there is an endless number of schools, where the souls can be instructed in the most expedient manner. To be sure, it is not so easy as here, because there, every soul has no world and surroundings other than those preceding from its own thinking, feeling and willing, which offer the soul all that it loves and wills. (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 65:2-3)
In this respect, My love is universal since it must only pursue the great purposes of a creation to which all others have to submit. Love, as I understand it, forgets neither the worm nor the senseless stone and even less the larger and more finely organized beings. But this love has other laws, other intentions, other purposes. Were My love not as it is, I would have to be a vengeful God, as so many people among you would like to make Me, a severe judge, implacable when dealing out punishment, all attributes which you have learnt in your law books, but are not found in My law book. It is precisely out of love that I transform all the evil that human beings do to one another into something good. Out of love I do not judge, do not fling any anathema or thunderbolt between quarreling people. They create their own evil, and My concern is only to let the comforting word from a better world flow into the heart of the oppressed. Happy those who take heed, but this unfortunately is rarely the case; that is why the complaints and recriminations made against Me. (Secrets of life, chap. 26)
No one will be able to say about My teaching that it demands even something unnatural, unfair and impossible; and yet in time such hardships and impossible to carry out adjuncts will set in, which no man will be able to observe in their entirety. One will massacre people in their hundreds and thousands in an exaggerated eagerness, worse than the wildest forest beast, and will believe that they are performing an extremely pleasant service for God.
Yes, I Myself will have to let Myself be caught and finally even killed by the people, if they want it, in order to give the people the freest and highest playground for their will; for only through this highest and very most unlimited freedom were people placed on this Earth completely in a position to rise to the truest and most perfectly god-like children and gods themselves in all things. For as I Myself am God from eternity to eternity only through My very most unlimited strength of will and power, likewise the children of My love must be it too eternally! (The Great Gospel Of John III, 177:5-8)
Just look at the flame of the lamp which burns here on the table. Can you separate the light from the flame or the flame from the light? Now, the flame is that which I call Father and Love, and the Light is His Son, sent by the flame to illuminate the darkness of the night. Are then the flame and its light not one Being? And is the flame then not also in the light as the light is in the flame? And when this is so and could be impossibly otherwise, then the will of the Father reveals itself in the light that emanates from Him. Thus, he who walks in this light, walks also according to the will of the One who sent Me as His Light into this world, and he who walks in this light cannot lose his way and must reap eternal life, because the Light, according to which and in which he walks, is the eternal Life itself. (The Great Gospel Of John VIII, 86:11-12)
"Listen, if it is sure that God as Creator of all beings yet different from all other beings who were created by Him was, is and will be eternal, is it then for Him an immovable necessity to remain in that particular original center? If it is already given to man to move freely with his body in all directions and even more so with his spirit, how could God in His limitless freedom restrict Himself in that wherein He gave even His created beings full freedom? I say to you: the divine infinity has the power in everything to also move endlessly free. He therefore will also have the right to change His glory into the flesh in order to be visibly and understandably present before His created human beings as an eternal entirely perfect Man. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 18, chap. 74)
It is true that I possess already since eternity in Myself all power and glory, but still, I was not a visible and perceivable God for any created being, not even for the most perfected angel. If I, to a certain extent wanted to make Myself visible for someone like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, then this happened because I had filled an angel with such a degree of Spirit of My will that on certain moments he represented My personality. But from now on, I am a visible God for all men and angels and I have laid the foundation for a total perfect, eternal and independent free and consequently true life, and from that consists also My own greater glorification and with that also yours. For how could even the most perfected angels and also the most pious men of this and all other earths glorify God in truth by a true and living love for Him, whom they had never seen and therefore also had never understood? For it was always said: No one can see God and keep the life, because the pure divinity is in Himself a devouring eternal fire. That fire in Me is now covered and tempered by this body of Mine, and now is no more valid: No one can see God and live, but: From now on, every angel and human being will be able to see God and live, and whoever will not see God, will have a very miserable and judged life. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 19, 5:14:15) THE NEW REVELATION
of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
This body of Mine is therefore the THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST glorified shape of the Father for the through Jakob Lorber & benefit of the people and angels, so that Gottfried Mayerhofer I could be an understandable and visible God for them. Now you can see Me, listen to Me and speak to Me, and by that still stay alive. Because before, it was so that no one could see God and live. I am now God in every respect. In Me is the Father. And the power that goes out of Me according to My love, wisdom and almighty will and that fills up the eternal endless space throughout and which is also active everywhere, is the Holy Spirit. As you can see Me now as God-Man with you, I am with My whole original central Being certainly completely and undivided in your midst, here in this dining-hall on the Mount of Olives. And thus, as highest true God and Man at the same time I am nowhere else, not on this Earth and even less on another. But still, by the power, which is the Holy Spirit, that goes out of Me, I fill all the Heavens and the earthly material and endless space with My activity. I can see everything therein, from the greatest to the smallest, I understand everything, know everything, decide on everything, and create, guide and rule over everything. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 18, 75:1-4)

The living spirit in man is My eternal love and wisdom that creates, arranges and maintains everything, and this spirit is actually the true and in itself already eternal man in man, who, in order to become independent, covers himself, only in the course of time, with a soul and a body according to My eternal order in him, and steps thus into an outer visible form.
Now if this is so and can impossibly be otherwise, you surely will realize that I have loved you already an eternally long time before you still were what you are now. You are now as if a spark of life that is separated from My love and you yourself can become a big and independent flame of love that looks like Me, by loving Me above all and your fellowman, who is completely equal to you, as yourself. And if this is what you are, and will then also love Me in this manner, you will soon see into yourself how I as the Eternal Love am everything in all and again everything is in Me. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 53:10-11)
A natural human being, as you are still now although you can view now with your eyes, and hear with your ears the Lord and Master of all existence and life if he becomes heavyhearted at the sight of a beautiful environment, because the feeling of his perishability awoke in him, then this is only very beneficial for his soul. Because that feeling is the immortal Spirit from Me in the soul of every human being, without which he would not possess a life. That Spirit cries out to the soul: Do not love the world for the sake of its outer charms, for they are all subject to death and perishability. Take courage and turn away your lustful eye from that which is nothing in itself. Instead of that, turn inwardly in your deepest inner self, in Me, your true existence and eternal life. Then you will not only see and recognize the dead, outer shell of the things and beings, but excellently see and recognize that which is in them and which is active, and how and why, and what ultimate goal they have. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 22, 35:9)
Whoever loves his father or mother more than Me is unworthy of Me; and who has sons and daughters and loves them more than Me is unworthy of Me. Whoever does not willingly take his burden - even if it should weigh him down like the Roman cross of death - onto his shoulders and follow Me, is quite unworthy of Me and shall not participate in the Kingdom of God. Truly I tell you: Whoever seeks the life of this world, and also easily finds it, shall lose life eternal and on judgement day, following the shedding of his body, I shall not awaken him to everlasting life, but cast him into hell for eternal death. But he who does not seek worldly life, even shuns and despises it out of true, pure love for Me, shall find eternal life; for I shall awaken him immediately after the death of his body, i.e. on his judgement day, or the first day of his new life in the spirit-world, and shall lead him into My Eternal Kingdom and adorn his head with the crown of eternal, immortal wisdom and love and he will then rule forever with Me and all the angels of the eternal, infinite heaven over all the material and spirit world. (The Great Gospel Of John I, 140:810)
As long as I still walked among them (Lords disciples) physically they did not have a firm conviction that I was a godlike being with powers and attributes ordinary people did not possess. They did witness My miracles, but lived and believed only under their compulsion. The moment I had been taken away from them and this direct influence abated or ceased altogether, their firm belief, their confidence and trust, had faded away. If I had not risen from the dead and fulfilled all My former promises, My disciples would have promptly returned to their previous occupations and regarded their experiences with Me only as a dream of which nothing but a memory would have remained of the reality of which they would not have been able to convince anybody. And as I then had to put My seal to My work with My resurrection, My repeated appearances among My disciples during forty days and My ascension, thus I must now guide and strengthen you, My children, in your faith and trust. (The Lords Sermons, 20)
My teaching gives you the highest freedom, and therefore it cannot be proclaimed with the sword and with the chains of the darkest slavery, because man must also be acquainted with and accept that which he can and will procure with the highest freedom of life.
As I have given you all this for free, so you also should give it for free to those who want to have it from you. (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 8, 20:3)
So I did also not come into this world to bring the Earth as it is now peace and quietness, but the sword to fight against it, and I Myself am, as the eternal Truth, the sword. That sword I have also given to you for the battle against Hell and its raging power. Thus, do not fear those who can indeed kill your body, but who cannot damage the soul. And if ever you want to fear someone, then fear the One who possesses all power in Heaven and on the whole material world, and who, as the only Lord and Master over life, can throw a soul who is filled with sins, into the deepest abyss of Hell and its eternal death. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 69:8)
Whenever I, as Christ on earth, prayed to My Father, it was Wisdom calling to Love to limit its boundless action. Just as wisdom and love can only exist with each other, I, as the Christ, was one with My Father, the Love, and therefore I could say: 'No one knows Me, except the Father in Heaven and I alone know Him', or I go to the Father' and so on. Thereby I meant to say: All the world was created out of love, but wisdom has regulated its conditions. Love creates, and wisdom preserves. Love, as the "Father", was the highest symbol of purity; whereas I, wisdom, as the "Son", proved it through the deed. Thus also man, as My descendant, shall become a manifestation of love and wisdom. He shall love first and only then shall he learn to be wise so as to comprehend fully My creation and his mission in it. (Lords Sermons, chap. 5)
Although there was an endless gap between Me and you men by which even the most perfect angel spirit could not even approach Me, but now a bridge has been built across that gap, and that one is formed by the love for Me from your side, while I from My side have become a Man Myself of flesh and blood out of My eternally great and above all mighty love for you men, and have also taken your weaknesses upon Me, so that I will not be an eternally distant God, but that I can be a completely close and easy to reach Father, Friend and Brother, which you can become and stay according to the measure of your love for Me.
If this is the case now between Me and you men, and thus completely different from the time of Moses, no one can say that he is annihilated by My divine majesty that lives in its fullness in Me, since I Myself am with all My heart meek and humble and full of the highest patience and tolerance, love and compassion. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 53:5-6)
I, as the man you see before you, am not God, although a Son of God, which actually every human being should be, for the people of this earth are destined to become children of God once they have recognized His will and live in accordance with it. One of them, however, was from eternity destined by God to be the First, to have life within Him and to pass it on to everyone who believes in Him and lives according to His teaching. And this First One am I. However, I did not bring this life out of God into the world at birth, although the seed was latent within Me. It had first to be developed, which cost Me almost thirty years of time and effort. Now I stand before you perfected and can tell you that all power and might in heaven and on earth is given to Me and that the spirit within Me is fully one with the Spirit of God; and by My signs you see that I can accomplish what has never before accomplished by a human being. [] THE NEW REVELATION
This spirit is, indeed, God, but I, as the Son of Man, am not, because, as I said before, I had first to acquire with much effort and practice the dignity of a god, like every other human, and was able to unite with the Spirit of God only after achieving this. Now I am one with Him in spirit, but not yet in the body. After great suffering and total and most humiliating selfabnegation of My soul, I will become one with Him also in the body. (The Great Gospel of John VI, 90:9-12)
of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
I am the gate, the way and heaven myself. He who listens to Me, believes in Me, and loves the Father in Me above all, will walk through the right gate of all life the light way to the Kingdom of the Heavens that is created spiritually out of My pure love in the lightest and most living form out of My wisdom. Do not look up or down with your fleshly eyes if you want to perceive the true sight and the nature of Heaven which is the Kingdom of God, but direct the eyes of your mind at your inner awareness of love. There you will see Heaven, even everywhere, no matter in which place you will be in My creations, be it on this Earth or on another, this does not matter, because the view of Heaven will form itself out of the foundation of your life, just like it is formed by My word and by your good works. Only by means of your own Heaven will you be able to come in My eternal and infinite great Heaven. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 66:2-3)
Stay where the Kingdom of God and its eternal spiritual life rule, for I Myself am the Truth, the Kingdom of God, the Revelation and the eternal Life. Whoever believes in Me will receive the eternal life when I will wake him up on the youngest day. I will also stay in the one who will stay in Me in faith and in love, and in whom I stay has already the eternal life in him and will never see, feel nor taste death. So stay here with Me, and by your love, in Me. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 22, 91:4)

You can leave out this too great awe for Me, and grow instead of that, into the right and true love for Me, for it means much more and it is greater to love God above all than to fear Him above all. An exaggerated fear for God drives man ever further away from God and is finally the bad seed out of which, in due time, will grow paganism with the whole pagan service of idols, superstition and finally complete disbelief. But with full love, man comes ever closer to God, he trusts Him more and more and longs for Him, and thus he is more and more filled with the Spirit of God, because the constantly increasing and trusting love for God is the true and living Spirit of God in man and the spirit of the eternal life in the soul. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 97:2)
"Whoever wants to attain to the spiritual rebirth in order to gain miraculous powers (for ambitious and selfish reasons), can rest assured that such grace will not be bestowed on him. For this would literally mean to throw the finest pearls to the swine. Love for Me, great goodness of the heart, love for all mankind - this, in short, is the true sign of spiritual rebirth. However, where this is lacking and the person's humility is not fully developed, neither halo nor cassock or spiritual visions are of any avail. All these people are often further from the Kingdom of God than some others who appear very worldly. For the Kingdom of God never comes with any outer pomp, but enters quietly and humbly into the human heart. (Bishop Martin, chap 70)
There is always a greater power in the wisdom of the human spirit than in his fist, and where earnest in itself can perform little or nothing, love with its patience and meekness will do wonders. The full earnest in your own heart and its courage controls yourself. However, your weapon against men should always consist only of LOVE, MEEKNESS and PATIENCE.
Then you will achieve more on this way on which I Myself am going before men than with sheer zeal of fire and its earnest that is as hard as diamond. You really should not be afraid of worldly people, who in their anger can indeed kill the body, but can do nothing further anymore to your soul. Therefore, fear only the One who is a true Lord over life and death since eternity. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 22, 16: 9-10)
Do follow the prompting of your heart, which will teach you in a moment more than all five books of Moses and all the prophets. For behold, nothing in man is true, except love! Therefore, adhere to it and you will be walking by day." (The Great Gospel Of John vol. 1, 22:9)
My teaching as such is very short and easy to understand, because it desires of man only that he believes in one true God and loves Him above all as the good Father and Creator, and his fellowman as himself. That means, to do everything for him as he in a reasonable manner can wish that also his fellowman would do the same for him. Well, that much selflove every man will surely have, so that he will not wish that his fellowman would do something evil to him, and therefore he will also not do that to his fellowman. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 17, chap. 59:3)
I also did not say that the one who proclaims My teaching to other people should not mention My deeds at all, but not too much sensation should be made of it. And then by preference only those deeds should be mentioned that I have done to people out of pure love, as a Doctor and Helper, to one person or to several people who were in the greatest need. And no sensation should be made of those deeds - although I also performed them out of love for the people - that were done to convince them more quickly of the truth of My teaching, which is only necessary especially in this time, but not in future times in which My word will already perform signs by itself. For this would soon increase people's desire and make them long more for all kinds of wonders than for the influence of the true life which My teaching has in man. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 23, 28:2-3)
My teaching gives you the highest freedom, and therefore it cannot be proclaimed with the sword and with the chains of the darkest slavery, because man must also be acquainted with and accept that which he can and will procure with the highest freedom of live. As I have given you all this for free, so you also should give it for free to those who want to have it from you. Also, I have forced nobody of you, but I called you in full freedom: He who wants, let him come, listen, see and follow Me. And you have done that out of your free will. Therefore, act from now on like this in My name, then you will walk the right way. But he who will make a must of it, will not be My disciple, and on his way he will encounter rocks, reefs and thorns. (The Great Gospel Of John VIII, 20:3-5)

I also knew that My Word would find a good soil with you, and that is why I came here to bring comfort to all of you. But let this be the greatest comfort to you, that in Me the kingdom of the God, Whom you do not know as yet, has come to you and with it eternal life of the soul. For behold: What use are all the treasures of this earth to man, since he has soon to leave them behind forever? Is it, therefore, not incalculably wiser for man to gather such treasures that last forever and secure for the human soul and everlasting, more blissful and happy life, and that man, already during this earthly life, gains the clearest and undoubted conviction that his true, most perfect and free life actually commences only after the death of the flesh? (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 131:12-13)
Your question is actually why I allow those enmities on a celestial body like the Earth. On this I say to you that apart from the Earth there are countless much bigger celestial bodies, and there you will find no or very little of this kind of earthly enmities among the created. Yes, then why exactly on this Earth? I say to you: because the people of this Earth are, for what concerns their soul and spirit, in a position to become children of God by which they then also will be capable to do what I can do. That is why it was said to the elders by the mouth of the prophets: You are My children, and therefore gods, just as I, your Father, am God.
But to bring a soul into that position he must, as they use to say, after a long series of years, in a way be joined from countless soul particles from the kingdom of all creatures on this Earth. And this joining of those often endless many souls of creatures is that which the old wise men who knew about it, called migration of the souls. The outer material forms of the creatures destroy each other from both sides, but by that, many souls who live in those creatures become free. Those who are similar unite themselves and are procreated again in a material form on a next, higher level, and so on till man. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 24, 66:1-4)
But I say: If you provide for yourselves first, you are abandoned by God and are without His blessing and His otherwise so certain help. For God did not create men for selfish reasons, but out of pure love and, therefore, men must in everything fully correspond to the love that gave them their existence. If, however, you live and act without love and trust in God, you voluntarily reverse the heavenly element within you into a hellish one, turn away from God and become servants of Hell, which in the end will not fail to give you the reward you have deserved, which is death in the wrath of God.
(The Great Gospel Of John I, 125:14)
"All those who, already on Earth, will follow Me and My words will reach that goal which I indicated to you so many times as the rebirth of the soul.
So this is when the soul has become pervaded by the spirit by which he is already capable in the body to penetrate in all higher wisdom of the Heavens and become lord, not only over himself but with that also lord over his environment, yes even over nature and hidden powers, when he tries, out of love, to fulfill My will for the benefit of fellowman. The means to reach that goal are called: FAITH and TRUE LOVE FOR FELLOWMAN. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 25, 77:1)
"But of what consists that power of God in man? It consists of the true and pure love for God, of its all-superior wisdom, and by that of the right love for fellowman, and also of meekness and humility, as well as self-denial against the enticements coming from the world. He who has become strong in all this, has already the power of God in himself, and has become, through the unification of the Spirit of Power from God with the soul, completely one with God, and has by that raised himself above the coercion of time and space, and with that also above every judgment and every death. He has become an independent ruler in and from God, and eternally he should no more fear, as little as God should fear Himself, the wrath of God, which is His almighty and all-powerful will of which the unbendable earnest gives every creature its firmness in time and space, because man has become one with God in the manner that I have clearly explained to you now. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 70:8)
The more love for God and his fellowman man will truly begin to feel in himself and the more merciful he becomes in his mind, the greater and stronger has then also become Gods Spirit in his soul. Because the love for God and from that to fellowman is now exactly Gods Spirit in the soul of man. To the same extend as this love will increase and grow, also Gods Spirit will grow in him. And when finally the whole man has become pure and charitable love, then the complete unification of the soul with Gods Spirit in him has taken place. Then man has reached forever the supreme goal in life that God had set for him. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 42:10)
I said: If you stay in Me, I will also stay in you. However, without Me you can do nothing. And if you are with Me, and have done everything in My name, then say in yourselves: Look, o Lord, how we, while working in Your vineyard, are still standing before You as lazy and useless helpers. For truly: he who exalts himself, will be humiliated, but he who humiliates himself, will be exalted. Besides, you will call no one Lord, for also, only one is your Lord and Master, and this is I. You will call no one Father, for only one is your Father, namely He who lives in Heaven. So you also should call no one good and holy, for only God is good and holy.
You are all brothers and sisters among each other. The one among you, who wants to be the first and the most important, should be the helper and servant of all. For in My Kingdom, the most humble, the minor and apparently the least, is actually the most important and the greatest in all wisdom and power. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 22, 13:2-5)
I say to you: the spirit is the only living thing in man, is pure love and most gentle and is an eternal supremely well disposed feeling of that love. Thus, he who will make effort to ever more absorb this love of the spirit and its most gentle and eternal most well disposed feeling into his selfish soul, becoming therein also more and more strong, more powerful, more courageous and more compliant, will help by that the full union of the spirit with the soul. And if the soul becomes then pure love and wisdom in his most gentle and most well disposed feeling, then such a soul is also entirely one with his spirit and is therefore then also in the most living possession of all wonderful capabilities of life and existence of his spirit. And that is then certainly more valuable than having attended all the schools of the worldly scientists on Earth but remaining by that a severe and insensible human being. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 19, 98:15)
Only then shall I pour from the heavens My spirit full of truth and power over all My followers, which in turn will then fully render possible the complete rebirth of the spirit and in the spirit, and only then and thereby will you understand and recognize the rebirth of your spirit. Until then, nobody can be fully reborn in the spirit, as nobody has been since Adam, not even Moses and all the prophets. But through My act, which has now been made known to you and all the others, all people starting with Adam, will take part in the full rebirth of the spirit; all who were born in the world and who were, during their earthly life, at least of good will, even if they did not always act accordingly. For there are many others who are of the best will to do something really good, but who totally lack the means and the bodily strength and skills which are indeed as necessary for it, as the eyes are for seeing. Well, in such cases, the good intention means as much as the deed itself, as far as I am concerned. (The Great Gospel Of John III, 171:5-7)
Let everyone examine the inclinations of his heart, and he will easily discover what kind of spirit prevails in his heart.
If his inclinations draw the heart and its love towards the world and he feels within him a longing to become great and respected in the world, if the heart that is inclined to become proud, feels discomfort with poor mankind and has the urge within to dominate others without having been chosen and anointed for it by God, the seed of hell is already lying in the heart and, if not overcome and nipped in the bud, will obviously prepare for such a person nothing but hell after the death of his body.
However, if a mans heart is full of humility and he feels happy to be the least among men, to serve all and disregard his own self because of his love for his brothers and sisters; if he willingly obeys his superiors in all things for the benefit of his brothers and love God above all, then in his heart the heavenly seed grows to a true and eternally living heaven. And this man, who thus has already all heaven in abundance in his heart, which is filled with true faith, the purest hope and love, can after the death of his body not possibly get anywhere else but to the Kingdom of God which he has already carried in his heart in all its abundance for a long time. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 3, 50:8-9)
Only when the love, the will and the mind, which is filled with all truth, have become one in all actions, has man also entered in the REBIRTH OF THE SPIRIT FROM GOD IN HIS SOUL and has stepped into the first degree of Gods power in himself, and in that condition, he can already perform signs. But someone who is often too much filled with the world cannot come so fast and easy to that condition. And the reason for that I have already shown you. But without the attainment of that condition, all pure intellectual knowledge is for man only like any other knowledge.
For the perfecting of the inner man it has only very little value and is often rather more harmful than useful. Generally it is better for man if he, tormented by all kinds of objections and doubts, must search for the truth of life, compared to when he would already possess it in his intellect as a sun that suddenly came up while by far he does not yet possess the power in his love and in his will to act accordingly. That is why, with man, his heart and intellect must be developed and be made stronger at the same time progressively, otherwise no man can really make any progress in understanding and act accordingly. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 21, 71:6-8)

Take an example on Me. I alone am the Lord and Master, and Heaven and Earth lie in My power and authority, and nevertheless I am meek with all My heart, full of humility, patience, love and mercy, and do not allow to be honored by anyone like the Pharisees, the pagan priests or other imagined great of the world, as they are demanding that. So bring Me those kinds of offerings, then you will be able to rejoice continuously in My love and mercy. And whatever you will do in love for the poor in My name, will always be considered by Me as if you have done it for Myself, and by that you will gather for yourselves great treasures in My Heavens. These are the offerings that I ask from you. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 20, 54:9-10)
Man who is gifted with an individual life-consciousness considers the endless space of creation and the unknown countless things which it contains as dumb, dead and without intelligence. Why this seems to be like that to man has a wise reason, which is that his lifeconsciousness must acquire the full godlike lifes independence. For that, by My will, man is completely separated from the universal life-consciousness with its endless and highest intelligence, so that the life consciousness of man would find itself in it and by that, as if by the external revealed way, he also would develop and strengthen himself for its eternal independent existence.
However, when he is ready for it according to Gods revealed will, because his inner spirit has completely permeated him, then the whole person is in free contact with the highest life and its enlightened intelligence in the universal infinity of God, without losing his individuality and personality by that. Then he discovers no more a dead and dumb space or dead stones, but then for him everything becomes life and light and intelligence that is aware of itself. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 18, 77:1-2)
For if men of this Earth want to become children of God, they must try in every way to be as perfect as the eternal and holy Father in Heaven who is in Himself the eternal truth, the eternal love and power, and all the endless good, righteous and wonderful that results from it.
Therefore, it is also written in the Scripture: God created man after His likeness, He made him after His image and blew His breath into him, so that he would become a living, free soul. In this manner, men of this Earth are not simply and solely creatures of Jehovahs almightiness, but children of His Spirit, and consequently of His love, and thus as it is also written gods themselves. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 20, 90:5-6)
Do not ever promise a person something you then cannot or - even worse - do not wish to keep for whatever reasons, if you truly want to become children of God. In truth, I tell you, the worst thing is a promise that is not kept. For the one who is angry sins within himself and harms first himself; who practices unchastity buries his soul in the judgement of the flesh and again harms himself, but the evil of evils is the lie. If you have promised to do something for a person and circumstances arise that make it impossible for you to keep your promise, do go to him without delay and tell him honestly what has happened to you, so that he can help himself at the proper time in some other way to overcome some difficulty. But woe betide everyone who makes promises and does not keep them, even if he could do so, for thereby he causes farreaching trouble. The one who expected his help cannot fulfil his duty, and the hands of those who relied on him are tied, and thus such a broken promise can cause greatest embarrassment and distress to thousands. Hence, a promise that is not kept is the thing most opposed to the love of ones neighbour and, therefore, the greatest of evils. (The Great Gospel Of John I, 98:1-4)
Do not let yourself be overpowered by self-love, but fight it easily and powerful with the glowing sword of the true, most unselfish love for Me and your next brothers and sisters, and you will keep the field free of all weed and soon you will yourself enter My kingdom as a purest and most valuable fruit, and see and lead new and pure spiritual creations in eternity! But pay attention that the enemy, or self-love in you, does not take up an atom size space in you; since this atom is already the seed of the true weed, which can in time completely take over your free will, and your pure spiritual then goes continuously more and more over in weed or matter, where you yourself become a lie, because all matter as that what it is, is obviously the most cardinal lie! The smallest atom self-love in you, My current disciples, will in a thousand years become entire mountains full of the most toxic weed, and one will immure My word on the back streets and streets with the worst excrement, so that no lie full of haughtiness and hate can be offended by it! Just stay pure in My order, then you soon will see the wolves and lambs drink from the same brook. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 9, 40:6-8)
It is easy to see that with such competition, abuses occurred through jealousy, greater ability, good or evil intentions, in short, through the pressure of all human passions. They in turn had their effect on the social life of the individual where, always battling and struggling between want and plenty, your whole present human society grew up, for it was only the temporal life that caused such conditions. According to the moral laws, the lowest and the highest ranking person on earth could be inspired by the same principles, since ethics and My divine two laws are alike for both peasant and king.
However, since the divine laws, which are higher than the earthly laws, are not subject to change and do not allow various interpretations, the very incongruities arising from the social life are often the reason why people accuse Me, when they themselves, mind you, generally speaking, are at fault. (Secrets of life, chap. 26)
Poverty and need among people on this earth solely and entirely makes for lack of love among them ..." (The Great Gospel Of John IX, 210:4)
"The great and the powerful are thieves and robbers of nations because of their desire for profit and their great need for power, and they will have to expect their just rewards from Me in due time." (The Great Gospel Of John IX, 101:6)
"All the ills presently apparent in the world were not created by Me, but are the product of free will being misused by men. Being free they are able to do as they like, but they will also have to accept responsibility for the consequences." (Lord's Sermons, 83)
THE POOR shall not beg at the doors of the rich where they experience the lot of stray dogs and their hearts are turned to sorrow and bitterness. They shall come to Me with great confidence, and I shall refresh them all. I shall give load to the hungry and drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked and heal the sick. The lame shall leap like a hart, the leper shall be cleansed, the blind will see and the deaf hear, and I will make the weak stronger than a lion. The timid shall become bolder than a colt and the aged shall find rest. The poor is My closest brother, I care for him. Therefore, the dogs shall not debase him, for THE RICH OF THE WORLD are brothers of Satan and children of the devil in hell. (The Household of God I, 2:3)
Just as a good man grows ever better, so an evil man will grow ever more evil and with this be in a condition farther and farther away from what is good, which can be seen quite clearly even in this world. Look at those people who are all the time growing more and more filled with arrogance and burning desire for power. Having made many millions of people the most miserable of slaves through their tyranny, they then gather even greater martial hordes, invade the territories of the other kings, conquer them and take their land, people and treasures. And when they have thus conquered half a world and made it miserable, they imagine themselves to be like unto God. (The Great Gospel of John VI, 33:10-11)
through Jakob orber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
Yes, your souls and the souls of millions of people no longer even know that they are the carriers of the spirit of God, not to mention that they could and should do something beneficial for becoming free and independent. For your love of splendor and comfortable life, the poor and weak humanity is driven by you too strongly to bloody endless drudgery and therefore cannot do anything to liberate their spirit and so you are dead along with you subordinates and are truly children of Satan and will not hear My word, which earnestly and truly leads you to life. Instead you defend your word, from which eternal death for you and all your subordinates must necessarily follow! (The Great Gospel Of John III, 10:3,4 & 13)
Therefore, a man who seizes with love all sorts of matter and becomes actively anchored in it, commits a sin against Gods order, which exposed him for a time to matter for the sole purpose that he combat it and, by using his completely free will, strengthen himself for immortality. And the consequence of sin is death, or the annihilation of all that mans soul has appropriated out of matter, because matter, as I have shown you, is not what it appears to be. Therefore, if you love the world and its hustle and bustle and want to gain its treasures, you are like a fool who has been introduced to a well-adorned bride, whom he does not want and for whom he does not long. He nevertheless throws himself with the ardor of a blind fanatic onto the shadow of the bride caressing it beyond measure. When the bride leaves the fool, surely her shadow will go with her. And what will remain for the fool? Evidently, nothing. (The Great Gospel Of John V, 70:7-8)

To what use would it be for man if he with this earthly life would profit the whole world, but suffer harm in his soul? What can such a person give to save his soul? Therefore man must use this bodily life for the sole purpose to attain the everlasting life of his soul. If a person does not use his bodily life for only that purpose, it is his own fault if he forfeits the life of his soul or at least weakens it to such an extent, that he afterwards in the beyond has for an exceedingly long time to do, to collect himself insofar, that he is able to go over in an only somewhat brighter and better spiritual life. Since for as long a soul clings to its bodily life and its advantages, she cannot be completely reborn in the spirit; a soul however who is not completely reborn in her spirit, cannot enter the true kingdom of God, because no atom of anything material can exist therein. (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 162:11)
However, concerning your external laws of the state, those should exist for the flesh of the people, for as long as man is not fully reborn in the Spirit, external laws of the state are necessary for him because they are training him in humility and patience which are extremely necessary for the attainment of the full rebirth. On the other hand they will help to keep dark and evil man away from causing a great deal of evil to his fellowman, because through sharply drawn boundaries these laws are allotting to everyone what is their own, and will chastise the one who willfully acts against it.
For this reason, I am also saying that you should remain obedient to the worldly power, no matter if you find it good or even very bad, because its power has been given from above. However, once someone is reborn in the Spirit, he will, just like Me not trouble himself anymore by a worldly law. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 70:5-6)
Whoever lives according to his self-conceit, which is usually saturated with self-love and pride, and cannot from all his heart forgive and bless ten times more the one who offended him in some way, will sooner or later have to taste the inevitable consequences of hostility against which he can by no means expect any protection from Me, unless he has paid his debt to his enemy to the last penny. Therefore, do live in peace and unity with everyone. It is better for you to suffer an injustice than to do even an apparent justice to someone. Thus you will not educate avengers for yourselves, and the spirits, who otherwise would have become your enemies, will then be your guardian angels and ward off many a calamity threatening you. But why is all this so, and must be? Here I say: because it has to be so in accordance with My will and unchangeable order! (The Great Gospel Of John I, 80:2-3)
Humility is primarily promoted by serving, often the more subordinated a service appears, the more suitable it is for the true development of life. Humility itself is nothing else than the increasingly and stronger condensation of life in itself, while haughtiness is a loose formation and a scattering into infinity and finally a complete loss of life, which we can call the second or spiritual death. In haughtiness all serving has come to an end and therefore also all further development of life. If with the development of life a haughty ruling over others would be required, surely such a order would be created by Me, that every person has an unlimited right to rule; but since this is against My eternal order, every person and angel must take up the apprenticeship of serving and finally find in the everlasting always increasing and expanding way of serving the highest joy and bliss. (The Great Gospel Of John IV, chap. 95:1-2)
I wanted all people to live together as brothers without this corruptive means of exchange (money), but because as secular people they introduced it in this world long ago for a greater comfort of their trade and exchange, I will leave it at that - but only through My love will it bring benediction to people! Do not put any value to it other than My love, and it will bring you My love and My blessing! If someone needs a penny, give him two, even three, and My love will on the other hand replace it ten and thirty times over! (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 11, 1:67)
If everyone wants to be superior, then addiction to rank and anger strut along together. Their servants are insidiousness and pretense. This devil of addiction to rank in human flesh is the source of all evil in mankind, and fully equal to the lowest and deepest hell, because in him all evil is united. Would there ever have been a war if this demon had not corrupted humanity? Humanity has deposed God, and today place this demon of arrogance on the throne, just as they did in former days. That is why mankind deserves to be tyrannized from above as well as from below, because it finds the greatest pleasure in raising its own children as tyrants. That is why you should raise your children in humility, so that they themselves prefer to be the last rather than the first. Then the tyrants would soon have no alternative but to give up, because they would have no help or assistants. (Earth and Moon, chap. 63)
But if given in too much to the animal like desires and passions of your children, you will open with them a new and wide gate for all vices, by which they will penetrate in masses into this world bringing destruction; and once they are there, you will in vain fight them with all kinds of weapons and will achieve nothing against their great powers and rule! Therefore look after the little trees, so that their growth becomes heavenstriving straight, and clean them carefully from all after outgrowths; since once the trees have become big and strong, and are full of bad curvatures in form, which the evil winds have caused them, then you will not be able to straighten them with all kinds of violent means! ( The Great Gospel Of John, Book 4, 124:8-9)
ANGER is the most glaring contrast to LOVE, and it forms the essential main ingredient of Satan. Anger cannot exist without nourishment; therefore it is constantly surrounded by countless nourishing spirits, on which the Devil of Anger sucks and which he consumes. Since love cannot exist without nourishment, which is to be loved in return, so anger cannot exist without anger in return. Let us see what kind of riff-raff surrounds anger for its succor. Hate is the main provider for anger, followed by haughtiness. Out of this comes forth selfishness, envy, greed, adultery, fornication, and contempt of everything divine, the greatest of disdain for other people, murder and bloodshed, lust for power and, in the end, a complete lack of conscience. These are the assistants of the Devil of Anger, each of whom has a considerable multitude of evil subordinate spirits, which are easily recognizable in the most manifold passions of a human being possessed by anger. This evil spirit is just as difficult to cast out of a persons flesh as it is to extinguish a fire that has seized every part of a large house. In this instance, there is no other remedy but to let it burn down THE NEW to the last beam, and then examine REVELATION the cooled ashes to ascertain of JESUS CHRIST whether there is anything left through Jakob Lorber that the fire has not consumed. (Earth and Moon, chap. 61) & Gottfried Mayerhofer
Whosoever is not satisfied with the quiet, fruitful soil of the Earth should go to sea and learn the difference between peace and tranquility, and motion and storm. Should storms at sea not swallow him whole, and should he love the sea, then he may return to it. Yet the solid earth remains still, just as, in spite of learned innovations, the ancient words of God continue to exist, and My mercy is there just as well for everyone that seeks it. As for those who do not care for My mercy but are interested only in innovations, purely because of an interest in rank and property, they may go to the Devil with it. Such a person may rest assured that no one in My heavens will shed a tear for him. (Earth and Moon, chap. 64-65)
As such you can see nations stuck in all kind of corruptions regarding the soul; but their form remains, and if you see them, you must acknowledge that these are humans. Indeed, their souls are distorted by all sorts of lies, falseness and malice; however, at the right time I let more warmth penetrate the germ of life, and it starts to grow, consumes the old disorder of the soul, just as the grassroots consume the already decayed drop of water, and a complete healthy, life-strong and in all parts pure blade of grass with blossom and seed arises. Because for this reason you should never judge a spoilt nation too harshly! Since as long as the form remains, also the pure germ in man remains, but if this remains, even a devil can become an angel! Normally misconstrued teachers, lust for power and avarice of a few powerful people and a temporary possession by evil spirits, which creep up on the flesh and the nerve-spirit of people, are the reason for the corruption of people and their souls. But a complete corruption even of the most inner life-germ is unthinkable. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 18, 66:4-6)

If man is already from his childhood urged on to the right activity and educated in obedience, humility, meekness and the right self-denial, he soon will become strong and mighty in the pure and true knowledge of God and in the love for Him, and God will again be able to reveal Himself to him without harming his free will, after which more light and more life will come into the soul, but because men do not exercise themselves to fight against and overcome their inborn laziness because the parents are already too sluggish for that men suffocate in their necessarily inborn laziness already a long time before they ever have made an attempt to fight and overcome it in themselves. (The Great Gospel of John Book 20, 44:3)
Now look. I alone am the Lord from eternity. How am I now among you all? Look, I call you children, friends and brothers, and what you all are for Me, that is the destiny of all men, and no one is less or more. Because every man is My perfect work, who as such should recognize himself and know his value, and should not completely underestimate himself and consider himself less than no matter what kind of monster, because whoever despises a clearly recognizable work from Me, despises necessarily also Me, the Master. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 17, 60:8)
Your neighbor is every human being, friend or enemy, who needs your help in no matter what good manner that is in accordance with Gods commandments. But it is obvious that you should not help anyone who acts against Gods commandments, but should withhold him from doing it. If you will do that, you will practice neighborly love and your reward in Heaven will be great. (The Great Gospel of John X, 139:3)
Therefore you should not judge the people, so that you do not become judges on yourself! Wouldnt it be the most inhuman foolishness, to judge a bodily sick person and then impose an unscrupulous punishment on him because he has become sick and miserable?! How much bigger and many times more inhuman foolishness is it not, to judge and condemn a soul sick person, whose soul has become weak and sick because of the above mentioned reasons! You call such people according to your laws and regulations criminals and submit them to relentless, hard punishment; but what are you achieving by this? You punish a soul because she basically became sick without her fault! Ask yourself, how your judgment must look before God. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 8, 68:1-3)
On a globe where man would not be able to sink into all of the greatest vices by his free will, his intellect and his reason, he then would also not be able to raise himself to the highest and divine virtue. [] Because look, to create and raise animals, trees and plants is easy for the deity, but to educate people is not so easy. The deity can educate them but cannot enforce an internal coercion on them. Do you understand that? (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 25, 20:8-9)
Whoever believes that he has rid himself of his enemy when he has slain his body is smitten with tenfold blindness. For thereby he made for himself from a weak enemy whom he could see, a thousand invisible ones, who persecute him day and night and harm him in body, soul and spirit. Look at a war where not seldom many thousands are bodily slain. The victor believes in his blindness that he has rid himself of his enemies whose bodies he has destroyed.
But what a mighty error that is. The souls and spirits of the slain, thanks to their direct influence on the Earths weather, devastate during several years the various crops thereby inevitably calling forth high cost of foods which causes famine and all kinds of fatal epidemics and pestilence. These then within a short time snatch away more people than soldiers of the enemy had been slain. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 1, 79:7-8)
He who seeks to defeat his enemy only to destroy him is a cowardly fighter, for not his courage but his great fear has prompted him to rid himself of his enemy by killing him. He who wants to be a real hero must not annihilate his enemy, but take the trouble to win his foe with all cleverness, patience, love and wisdom in his heart; only then he can boast of fighting a true victory over his enemy, and his greatest reward shall be the hard-won foe. (The Great Gospel of John I, 201:15-16)
Hence do not repay evil for evil, if you want all to become good. If however you are going to judge and punish those who have sinned against you, then you shall in the end all turn evil and there shall be no more proper love and goodness in any of you! The mighty shall take it upon himself to punish those sinning against his laws; the sinners however shall in turn enkindle with revenge and attempt to ruin the mighty. Question: what good shall come of all that?!
Hence judge and condemn no one, that you may not be judged and condemned! Have you all now understood this My most important teaching, without which My kingdom can never have a place in you? (The Great Gospel of John, Book 1, chap. 75)
You however have a criminal, which after your wise law has earned the death penalty. I however say to you, love and mercy stands superior, than wisdom and justice! Act therefore with him in love and in mercy, and you will be one with Me and with the Father, the One who dwells in Me and from Whom I go out, as mortal being the same as you. Amen. (Correspondence between Abgarus and Jesus, 4:8))
"Let them lie; is there a fire that burns more fiercely than that of the lie?! Do them good on top of that and they shall run off with glowing coals over their heads! - Remember that! Never return evil for evil and bad with bad!" (The Great Gospel Of John I, 74:6)
At all times true soul doctors, filled with the spirit of God, have been send into the world who have preached the right way to cure souls. Some have taken note of them and were infallibly cured; but the so called great and powerful of the earth regarded themselves in any way as soul-healthy, ignored the soul doctors which I have send to earth, in the end pursued them and forbade them their remedial work for ill souls and thus it always happened by the great and powerful of this earth that the teachings of mercy to cure ill souls, could never take those roots by which it could have grown into a strong remedial tree. And if somewhere a strong seed has been planted, the selfish and power-hungry human children of this earth knew to clean the tree for so long, by taking away the superfluously seeming branches and twigs and continuously scraping off the bark, until, finally, the whole tree had to dry up. And thus up to this hour no other remedial institution for ill souls exists than the sharpest law, arrests, investigations, prisons, terrible penal dungeons, the sharp, most unmerciful sword and all kinds of tormenting and torturous execution and killing instruments, have been produced for use. These are also products of ill, but strong souls, which THE NEW must be helped above all, if the curing of the REVELATION of JESUS small, weak and subordinate souls should CHRIST become any happy success on this earth. through Jakob (The Great Gospel of John, Book 8, 68:11-12) Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer
O you, who are judging and with your judgments make the poor ill souls even more ill than they were before, think in all seriousness what you are and what you should be in all truth, and what you are supposed to be doing according to the order of God! You judges and chief rulers over the weakness of the nations, who are in the final analysis also your power, might and respect, should be true fathers of your nations, and as such should look after the health of the souls of the many children entrusted to you with all love and true fatherly care! You do not need to be doctors for the body but the more so doctors for souls! If you see your children often disregarding the rules of their parents and now and then even strongly sinning against them, would it be becoming of the parents if they take one of the children and torture it as a deterrent example and even hang it to the cross?! This can perhaps only been carried out by a most power-addicted father; but the worlds history will not be able to show many such examples! But you better parents will at least reprimand the transgressing children in a pretending serious manner and in the most severe case even punish them with the salutary corrective rod. Should the children thereafter better themselves, your surely will have a great joy about them; since it will be a right desire for you to see the souls of your children fresh and healthy before you. In the same manner, you mighty judges should act against all people, and your joy will never end! (The Great Gospel of John, Book 8, 70:7-9)
But I say to you, that in future among My true followers, no punishment not even temporary penalties although until now it said: Life for a life, eye for an eye and tooth for tooth should exist. If someone slaps you in the face, do not hit him back, but hold for him the other cheek, so that he can give you another slap, otherwise he cannot have peace with you, and that there will be peace and unity between you! If someone has struck you and you have lost an eye, do not do the same to him, but forgive him and as someone suffering, you will better his heart. Never repay evil with evil, and as My true disciples you will have peace in the world and thereby show, that you are truly My disciples! (The Great Gospel of John, Book 6, chap. 243:11)
Do even the wise laws of Rome not say: Volenti non fit iniuria? [He who consents does not suffer injustice.] Or should I perhaps, out of some kind of love for My adversaries, dispose of My eternal light of life and truth and put on the garment of lie and deceit? Hopefully no one of you would want that! But even for such souls who had condemned themselves, I have told you two comforting things: one time in the parable of the lost son, and later, on a similarly controversial matter like now, when I told you that in the house of My Father are a lot of habitations but in order to express Myself here more clearly: a lot of schools for education and correction, where even the most rejected human devils from this world can be converted and improved. (The Great Gospel Of John X, chap. 10)
This serves you as a proof that basically no soul can be corrupted to such an extent, that it cannot be cured anymore. Of course, with some souls it will take quite some time either here or even longer in the beyond, until she has reached that independent, healthy firmness, which is necessary to awake fully the primordial life germ in herself, to be penetrated by it in all parts.

But to think that this act of life cannot take place in a soul which appears to be already completely corrupted to the very bottom, would be just the same coarse sin against the love and wisdom of God, as the soul itself which is believed to be doomed and appears as a sputum of hell and stands in front of the judging world eyes as a mountainous and dense knot of sin. ( The Great Gospel of John, Book 8, 67:8-10)
Verily, he who wants to spread My word and My teachings with the sword in his hand, will not receive a blessing from Me for his zeal, but be pushed himself into the greatest darkness! If you illuminate a room with pure oil lamps during the night, then everybody who is in it will have a joyful light; but if you burn down the whole room, everybody will start to curse you and flee you like a furious fool. Who preaches to cure souls, should speak with a clear voice but at the same time in a gentle manner and should not shout like a raving who foams of fury and rage;
since a person who foams of fury does not better anybody with his wild shouting! He either causes that his listeners are mocking and laughing at him, or, if he goes too far with his shouting, they finally will chase him with batons and fists away from their congregation. In the same manner someone should not speak a conciliatorily word to his brother, if he still feels the sting of annoyance in his chest; since finally he convinces himself in his annoyed zeal, becomes infuriated and did not only manage not to convert his brother into forgiveness, but has irritated him even more to the opposite and has pushed the imagined good purpose far into the background! Yes, when spreading My teachings you should always make a friendly face; since with My teachings you are coming with the friendliest and most joyous message from the heavens to the people and therefore must announce it with the most joyous and friendliest approach! (The Great Gospel of John, Book 8, 71:4-7)
Enforced laws have an evil effect on the soul desiring freedom, as I have more than often shown you, and so have their inevitable consequences. Let there be only free actions out of true and pure love among you, never compulsion and coercion. That will be the only way in which My true disciples will be recognized: that among themselves they practise only the free law of love, and love one another as I now love you." (The Great Gospel Of John VIII, 40:24)
To Me there are no Romans, Greeks, Jews, Persians or other nations. There are only people who will all have part in the Kingdom of God in the heart and also on Earth. However, one people had to be chosen from which salvation comes forth, and this could only be the Jewish people because only there the right foundation was laid already by Moses and the prophets. But this does not mean that this nation is more than other nations. O no, only when they would have accepted My teaching and would have recognized the true Messiah, whom I always am and will be, they would have become the mightiest and also the most noble nation, because the conditions for it were present in that nation by the soil that had been cultivated for centuries. But since this will not happen, it will also be like this: The first ones will be the last ones. THE NEW Since you know this now also, you should not despise or perhaps REVELATION hate this people when you soon will hear what they will do to Me, of JESUS CHRIST but consider them as lost ones who do not know what they do, through Jakob Lorber & and try with all your heart to lead them on the right way wherever Gottfried Mayerhofer you can. So do not favor your fellow citizens but be righteous to everyone, so that you will not receive the bad name of being rude, unfriendly and miserly. Always try to follow My example and do your best to be especially patient. For look, despite when in a lot of occasions all of you would already have broken the thread of patience, I remain patient, listen calmly to the great foolishness of the people and try to teach them in a manner that is not repulsive to them, and I am doing good works for them as much as possible. (The Great Gospel Of John XI, chap. 14)
That humility resulting from pure love is a proper and true humility; for it respects and loves in the fellowman a brother as a brother, without elevating either itself or the fellowman to a god before whom one is expected to bend the knees and adore him. Whatever you want or desire, ask it as a man of a man and as a brother of a brother; but never shall one man crawl in the dust before another.
No man shall demand of his fellowman what God does not demand of any man! This is a true wisdom in the fullest divine order. Therefore, take note of it and act accordingly and you will be agreeable to God and to men. (The Great Gospel Of John III, 195:13-15)
Hence, you can think what you want; but do not revive any thought and any idea to become a fruit, before properly examining it by the judge of your mind and your reason! If the thought has passed the light- and fire test, only then you can revive it to become a fruit or deed, and then you can have a desire for something good and true; but you should not have a desire for something which is disorderly and apparently goes against neighborly love! And therein lies, what Moses has expressed in his last law, and verily therein is never and nowhere found any contradiction with the inner functions of life, which you with the help of your sharp-witted rabbi believed to have found. What should, yes, what can become of a person, if he does not from early on learn to examine and sort his thoughts, and to discard all that which is impure, evil and false? I say to you, such a person would become worse and more evil than the most savage of animals! In the good and wise order of thoughts lies a persons whole value of life. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 16, 55:3-4)
"I will give you a measure by which you and everyone else may know where he should stand with his self-love, with his love for his fellowman, and with his love of God.
Take the number 666 which in its good or bad sense - depicts either a PERFECTED HUMAN BEING or a PERFECTED DEVIL. Divide man's love evenly into 666 parts. Of these give to God 600, to the fellowman 60, and to yourself 6, then you have the right proportions of a perfected human being. But if you choose to be a perfected devil, then give God 6, your fellowman 60, and yourself 600!" (The Great Gospel Of John II, chap. 77)

People everywhere, even if they know My teaching or are now getting to know it, want to adapt it to life in such a way that no sacrifice or self-abnegation is needed in order to become My disciples, My children. What I once said about the city of Judah applies still today to the great cities of your earth. Where there should be the greatest enlightenment, there reigns the greatest darkness. And in those cities where I reveal Myself directly to the people, I am ignored most of all, just as once in Cana where I performed the first miracle in public.
Although over a thousand years have passed, mankind has remained the same.
(The Lords Sermons, 2)
He who wants to live properly may accomplish this in any church, because the main rule is as follows: examine everything and keep what is good. I will tell no one: become a Catholic, a Protestant, or an Orthodox! Instead, remain what you are if you so wish; but be an active Christian in spirit and in truth! Because anyone may have access anywhere to the pure word of God, if he so wishes. (Earth and Moon, chap. 73)
Furthermore, you also can give, if you have, from time to time bread and wine also in My name and in My love that is in you to those who actively believe in Me and keep My commandments as a remembrance to Me. When you will keep such meal of love among yourselves, I also will be in your midst, with you and in you, like now in flesh and blood. Because the bread that you will give because of your love for Me, will be the same as My flesh, and the wine the same as My blood that soon will be shed for many. How? That you will hear later. That only, should be sufficient to you as an outer sign, which will however only have true value for Me because of the love." (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 22:12-13)
"All that which is good and true has its complete correspondence in bread and wine. Therefore, you can be assured that after Me when you moderately will be using bread and wine in remembrance of Me, that I will be in the spirit, as now in the body, personally among you My children, brothers and friends until the end of all times of this Earth. Surely, you will not always see Me with the eyes of your body, but then still, your heart will tell you: Rejoice, for your Lord, God and Father is among you and is blessing the bread and wine for you. Therefore, be joyful and cheerful in His name, and remember by that the poor brothers and sisters, and more precisely the poor in spirit.
When your heart will give you such a stimulation, remember and believe always that I will be personally among you and whatever you will then ask Me which is good and true for the life of your soul, I will always very willingly give it in a well understandable way. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 88:2-3)
Man is hollowed by nothing else except by the living faith and its actual love for God and the fellowman. However, he who has sinned against God and against his fellowman should acknowledge his sins with true repentance, ask God seriously for forgiveness, make up for the injustice that he has caused to his fellowman, and further stop from sinning. Then subsequently he is fully purified. For when he makes up for the evil and refrains from sinning, it is evident that also his sins are forgiven.
However, he who will not do that, will continuously remain entirely in all his sins and its bad consequences, even if 10.000 goats would be slaughtered and be thrown into the Jordan. This and also all the other outer means of purification do not improve nor hollow man in the least, but only his true and sincere acting according to My teaching and the belief in his heart in the one, true God, and thus in Me. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 16:14-16)
When a person prays for insignificant and foolish things of this world, he mostly will not be completely heard by Me. So be totally at ease now. In your actions you will also find the complete answer to your prayer, as well as all those whom you have included in your prayer. For it is always pleasing to Me when someone, out of pure love, comes to Me with the right prayer. It will never stay unanswered.

But the requests and the prayers of people who let themselves be highly honored and praised as the servants of God, and who let themselves truly mercilessly and dearly be paid for their meaningless requests and prayers, will never be answered by Me in the least, because what a person does not do out of pure love for his fellowman, but only to glitter in the eyes of the world, has no meaning for Me. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 69:2)
"God is a spirit, and those who pray to Him must pray to Him in the spirit and in truth. This needs neither mountain nor temple, but merely a heart that is as pure as possible, full of love and humility." (The Great Gospel Of John I, 24:13-14)
" Therefore, you also should in future times not build any temples and altars for Me, for I will never live in the temples that are made by human hands, and I will not let Myself be honored on altars. He who loves Me and who will keep My simple commandments, is My living temple.
And his heart, full of love and patience, is the true and living offering altar to My honor, which is the only thing that is pleasing to Me. All the rest is judgment, death and ruin." (The Great Gospel of John, Book 22, 34:10)
If notwithstanding you have to awaken your hearts towards Me and enter upon the right humility in an exalted temple, then move outside into the temple of My Creations, and sun, moon and all the stars and the sea, the mountains and the trees and the birds of the air, as also the fish in the water and the countless flowers of the fields shall proclaim My glory to you! Say, is not the tree more glorious than all the splendour of the temple at Jerusalem?! A tree is a pure work of God, it has its life and brings forth nourishing fruit. But what does the temple bring forth? I say unto you: nothing but arrogance, anger, envy, the most blatant jealousy and domineering; because it is not God's, but the vain work of man. Verily, verily I say unto you all; he who shall honour, love and therewith worship Me by doing good to his brothers and sisters in My name shall have his everlasting reward in heaven;
but he who henceforth honours Me with all kinds of ceremonies in a temple built especially for this shall also have his temporal reward from the temple! When however after the death of his flesh he shall come to Me and say: Lord, Lord, have mercy on me, your servant, I shall then say unto him: I do not know you; hence depart from Me and seek your reward with him who you served! For this reason you too should henceforth have nothing more to do with any temple! (The Great Gospel of John I, 49:12-13)
Behold the air, the earth, the sea; behold the moon, the sun, the stars, the flowers in the field and the trees and look at the birds in the air, the fish in the water and all the animals on the dry earth; look at the high mountains and all the clouds and winds! Behold, all this proclaims loudly the glory of God, yet God, unlike a man, never looks at all this full of conceit, but He looks only at a human heart which recognizes and loves Him as the One True, Good, Holy Father. How is a perverted heart supposed to please Him or how an idle ceremony with all kinds of lip bawling, behind which there is nothing but the crassest self-love, pride, lust for power, all kinds of lewdness, falsehood and deceit? Now you know that first of all God has no need to take glory from bawling people, for the whole of infinity is full of His glory. What kind of glory, then, does foolish, blind man want to give to God, since he himself has none other than the one which he first received from God through the grace of being a man? Or can this redound to God's honor if men sacrifice Him an ox, but hold on to their sinful hearts and then, after the sacrifice, are ten times worse than before? Oh, I take no glory from men, for there is the Father in Heaven Who honors Me more than enough! But if people keep My commandments and love Me above all, they thereby honor Me as well as My Father, for I and the Father are completely One. (The Great Gospel of John III, 112:11-13)
To worship God means: to always love Him above all and his fellowman as himself. And to truly love God means: to keep His commandments very faithfully, also during oftentimes most THE NEW REVELATION unpleasant life conditions which of JESUS CHRIST God when it is necessary in one through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried way or another according to His Mayerhofer love and wisdom brings over such and such person to strengthen him and for the lifes practice for his soul who is too strongly attracted by matter, for only God knows every soul, his nature and qualities, and knows also the most clear and best how that soul can be helped on the true way of life. So God is in Himself the highest and purest Spirit, because He is the purest Love, and therefore, those who really wish to worship Him, should worship Him in spirit and in truth, even unceasingly during the whole life, as also all angels in Heaven are doing eternally. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 20, 5:7-8)
"When you pray, do not pray like the pagans and the Pharisees with your lips, using words formed by the tongue of flesh, but pray, as I have told you, in the spirit and in truth, with life-filled works and acts of love for your neighbor, then every word spoken in My name will be in truth a prayer and I shall always hear it, the sighs from your lips, however, I shall never hear." (The Great Gospel Of John III, 209:4)
Be truly reasonable and have an understanding heart, do good to everyone who somehow needs your help. Yes, do good even to your enemies and bless those who curse you. Thereby you will become like I am, for I let My sun shine on the good and the bad, and My worst enemies are daily showered with blessings from My almighty hand; the rod is only applied to the very bad offenders. Yes, I tell you: YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF MY HEART AND BROTHERS OF MY SOUL. Therefore, when you pray, do not pray with the lips like the heathens and Pharisees, with words formed by the physical tongue, but pray as I have told you, in spirit and in truth, through living deeds and acts of love for your neighbor, and every word in My name will be a true prayer which I shall always and infallibly answer; but the sighs from the lips I never answer. (The Great Gospel Of John III, 209:)
For the world I am a most insignificant hero for whom there is not much regard. The scholars look down upon Me and at the most call Me an honest man. Some of them ignore Me completely; for them I no longer exist; others still admit some divine trait in Me, but only for a short time, then they let themselves be influenced by the worldly wise. Soon I am dismissed and at the most regarded as a God for old women. For some of My servants and workers, who imagine themselves great, I merely serve as an official seal and as an external kind of divine cover for their idle nonsense and their gross and utter foolishness and stupidity. There are some who permit Me still to retain My divinity, but for this I must allow them to make of Me what they will in their pursuit of temporal gains. And what is the worst: I must be a downright absurdity! Love and mercy I may have only as long as it suits them; then I must become more pitiless than a stone and must suffer Myself to be changed into a most despicable tyrant. I am expected to rush from One tribunal to the next and pass one condemnation after the other. My love must therefore be only temporary, whereas My tyranny and harsh judgeship are meant to last forever. Oh, those utter fools! My infinite forbearance, gentleness, meekness and eternal love for My created beings certainly do not serve their greedy purposes, but all their plans shall soon be thwarted. Their accounts are before Me and the measure of their deeds has been almost filled and their reward is awaiting them. (The Household of God I, 2:8)
For behold, I am the Lord over everything that exists. I am the eternal and almighty God and as such also your holy and loving Father. And all this I am in the Word, but the Word is in the Son and the Son in the love and the love in the law, and the law has been given to you. If you observe it and act accordingly, you have absorbed it. Then it becomes alive within you, exalts you and makes you free, and you are then no longer under the law, but above it in the grace and light, all of which is My wisdom. And that is the bliss, or the Kingdom of God within you, or the only beatific church on earth. And life eternal is only in this church. Or do you think I dwell within the walls, or in the ceremony, or in the prayer, or in the worship? Oh no, there you are quite wrong, for I am only where there is love, being Myself the very love or the very life. I give you love and life and unite only with love and life, but never with matter or death. (The Household of God I, 4:10-12)
Away with sack and ashes, away with castigating and fasting and away with the sacrificing of goats and away with all the other temple sacrifices for the forgiveness of sins, for those do not have the least of value for life for Me. However, instead of this, one should display a firm and inflexible will for a true inner improvement of life, as well as a living love for God and fellowman, and the full faith in God and His incarnation in Me, for only this sanctifies man and makes the soul strong, giving him to live entirely in My Spirit that prevails in him. Remain with this, and teach it also to all other nations, then you will save Me from sending the threatened judgment over all the heathens in later times. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 90:3-4)
I (the Lord), as a man, could forgive anyones sins, since I was without sin. But he who is not without sin is not allowed to do so. To be without sin means to be in the highest degree in humility and love. The laws of God must have become such a human beings own nature. In order that the power of God may dwell in him fully, all desires, even to the lowest level, from childhood on, must be removed from his flesh.
Only then may such a human being say to any person, Your sins are forgiven! and they will be forgiven. But in this instance the person himself does not forgive sins, but the divine power alone. It is possible only for the divine power to reconcile the hearts of those that have sinned against one another and become enemies; that means to make their hearts red hot with the divine fire. This suffocates all anger, all haughtiness and all envy. It is obvious that only Gods power, and not mans, has that ability. (chap. 72, Earth and Moon)
Yes, today is the Sabbath; but the Sabbath is stupid and senseless as your hearts and so you keep the Sabbath, since in your hearts it still looks very Sabbath-like. But, as I am the Lord also over the Sabbath, I say to you: First ban the Sabbath from your hearts, if you want to be and remain My real disciples! We are here for work every day the same and where the Lord of Sabbath works, there His servants should not put their hands into their pockets! (The Great Gospel Of John I, 30:14-15)
Not only THE SEVENTH DAY, but every progress will then be a Sunday and after which this day is called by you over you and all around you. Every delight when you - worthy of your goal - progress from stage to stage, holiday, the holy day of eternal bliss of consecration and peace, prepared by time immemorial. Amen.
day on which you make spiritual holiday for you - a day like the sun and it will pour light, warmth and life day will become a day of celebration or Creator and with a clear knowledge of your until you attain the eternal, never ending in those regions where every day is a day a loving Father for His children from (The Lords Sermons, 42)
In later times men will built certain houses for Me, and in them they will just like the Pharisees in the temple in Jerusalem and the gentile priests in their pagan temples of idols perform a certain religious service on a certain day of the week, to which they will still add other great and high-days in the year. But when this will become a general custom among the people, contrary to My advice and My will, the signs that were discussed before concerning My living presence with, in and amidst men will completely disappear, because in temples, which carry the phrase to the greater honor of God which are build by human hands, I will be as less present as now in the temple in Jerusalem. But if in a community you want to build a house out of love for Me, let this then be a school for your children, and give them teachers according to My teaching. You also can build a house for the poor, the sick and the disabled. Provide such a house of everything that is necessary to take care of the people who live there, then you always will be able to rejoice in My pleasure. All the rest and that which is in addition is evil and has, as already said, no value for God. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 12:4-5)

Do not in future build houses of prayer for Me but guest houses and refuges for the poor who can not pay you! In the love of your poor brothers and sisters shall you be My true worshippers, and in such houses of prayer I shall be frequently among you, without you necessarily becoming aware of it; but in temples built for worshipping Me with the lips, as it has been till now, I shall henceforth dwell no more than man's intellect would in his little toe.
(The Great Gospel of John I, 49:10-11)
Who gives laws, also gives judgment; is judgment love? That is why I took all judgments upon Me on the cross, so that only love would remain for people - but is this love conceivable where there are a billion tribunals set up among the ones supposed to be brothers and where one can only see laws on top of laws?!
Is this Peter, the rock on which My church, which is and should be nothing but love and more love, shall be built?! Anybody who acknowledges and loves Me like Peter, is a true rock on which I can and really will build My true church, the true love and wisdom from within Me. But how can any small or large community under some chieftain be a rock, if everyone thinks and believes what they want; where one whispers incomprehensible words and sells such whispers as useful prayer, another one curses, mocks and laughs about it, and a third one shows up as judge and condemns everything to the deepest corners of hell?! Can such a community or its leaders be the rock on which My church is built, against which the gates of hell shall never prevail?! (Gifts of Heaven 3_47.05.25)
You shall not be like those whom Isaiah meant when he called out: 'Behold, this people praises Me with the lips, but their heart is far from Me!, ' but when you pray to Me, do it in the spirit and in all truth. For God is a Spirit and can only be adored in the spirit and in truth. Therefore, the only true prayer in the spirit pleasing Me does not consist in the movement of the tongue, the mouth and the lips, but only in the active practice of love. What benefit is it to you if you adorn a prophet's grave with many pounds of gold, while at the same time you ignore the voice of a suffering brother? Do you think I shall be pleased with this? Fool! I shall look at you with angry eyes because you have ignored the voice of the living one an account of one dead." (The Great Gospel Of John IV, 1:14-15)

By the way it goes without saying that he who wants to lead the blind, must be able to see himself, if he does not want to fall with them into the same pit. You cannot say to your brother: Let me take the splinter from your eye!, if a whole beam is stuck in your own eye. Hence, a true teacher must be free of flaws which can be an obstacle to him during the execution of his duties; because there no teacher is better than an imperfect one! Since I train you as teachers, I therefore show and explain to you so many unheard issues; thus every perfect teacher must be taught by God, just as you are taught by God. The Father in heaven must draw him, otherwise he cannot get to the truth in its fullest light depth; but who doesnt get there and does not become light himself thereby, how should it be possible for him to illuminate the night of his neighbor?! (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 9, chap. 97:1-2)
The best way of achieving remission of sins is no longer to commit the sins, and truly to repent of those committed in the past, to give alms to the poor for this, and forgive all one's enemies from the heart and pray for them in the spirit and in truth. For when a man repents of his sins, I, too, repent of having to punish him for them. Alms will in any way cover the greatest multitude of sins. And who forgives shall also be forgiven even if his sins were as the sand of the sea and the grass on the ground. Those then are the only ways in which any sinner can achieve forgiveness of sins without any need for confession, and there are no others." (Himmelsgaben II p. 321 f.)
The one who possesses a lot and practices true neighborly love is truly fasting, and that fasting is pleasing to God and is useful for the eternal life of man. He who has much, let him also give much, and he who has little, let also him share the little he has with his fellowman who is still poorer than he is. Then he will gather for himself treasures in Heaven. Giving in itself is already better than taking. However, the one who truly wants to fast for God, so that it is useful for the eternal life of his soul, should, out of love for God and his fellowman, refrain from sinning, for sins are burdening the soul, so that it can only raise itself to God with difficulty.
What goes into the mouth to feed and to strengthen the body does not defile man, but that what often comes out of the mouth, like calumny, slander, dirty talks, backbiting, cursing, false witnesses and all kinds of lies and blasphemy, are defiling man. And whoever does that, is actually breaking the true fasting. For truly, fasting means to deny oneself in everything, to take the appointed load on his shoulders with patience and to follow Me, for I Myself am humble and patient with all My heart. (The Great Gospel Of John , BOOK 17, 4:6,7,12, 13)
You (Pharisees) are lacking nearly completely faith and a real living trust in God, and therefore God does not answer your prayers and does not pay attention to your sacrifices. Why actually do you not pray yourself with full faith and trust? Because this seems too uneasy for you. That is why you have in the congregation certain people who pray and beg for you, who are authorized by the temple and whom you pay, so that they would beseech for you this or that from God. If you can give your faith and trust to these hypocrites, who are always letting themselves be well paid for their pretended effort and whose praying and begging have never given you any help, then why do you not prefer to put your faith and trust in God the Lord and Father Himself? [] Therefore, awaken your faith in God and the real, inner love for Him and firm trust in Him. Pray and beg yourself in spirit and in truth to Him, then He certainly will hear you. Thus, pray yourself without ceasing, do real penance and endure also the suffering which has come over you for good reasons, with patience and true dedication to the godly will, as you can learn from the patience of Job, then God will help you out of every distress, as far as this will be good for the salvation of your souls. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 20, 8:4, 6)
Wherever Christ is not preached in His true spirit, there in its place is false prophet-hood instead of a true church. Even if one or another sect states, Behold, we have no pictures, therefore our denomination must be the purest, thus do I reply: Icon or no icon determines nothing, only living in accordance with Gods word. Teachings, even if they be cleansed of all ceremony and made suitable for the acceptance of pure reason, are meaningless if they remain merely teachings and no one lives by them.
What should I say about a church that does not teach anything but belief, and repudiates works? It is clearly written: Belief without works is dead. I Myself said it many times, But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only! That makes it obvious that belief alone is of no benefit; rather, it must become active through love. (Earth and Moon, chap. 73)

Whoever can benefit from the senseless bawl in the temples, while a thousand poor and hungry brothers outside are not remembered? Go and first of all strengthen those who suffer need; feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, comfort the sad, set free the imprisoned and preach the gospel to the poor in spirit, and you will do endlessly more than by bawling with your lips day and night in the temples, while your hearts are cold and unreceptive towards your poor brothers. (The Great Gospel of John III, 112:9-10)
Before we boarded the ship, one of My disciples came to Me asking for My permission to bury, before we left, his father who had died so suddenly the previous night [Mt.8:21]. I, however said to him, You better follow Me and let the dead bury their dead. [Mt.8:22]. And the disciple immediately refrained from his request and followed me into the ship, for he understood that it is better to be concerned with life than with death - a futile concern - indeed, best suited for the dead, for all those who make much of funeral pomp are more or less dead. They pay their respect to death and the honour of death is most important to them.
Mans true death is selfishness and its spirit is pride which above all craves for glory. Thus, the pompous funeral of a deceased is nothing else but the last display of pride of a person who has been spiritually dead for a long time. (The Great Gospel Of John I, 103:1-2)
Thus, two, three or more people could quietly get together and pray for themselves and the whole community but not in such a way that the community hears of it -, and I shall surely grant such prayers. But if the two, three or more people were to tell the community that they would do so on this or that day, at a certain time, truly such a prayer will never be granted and will be useless to the community as well as to those who have prayed. For also the heathens did all that in times of great danger: they marched with great crowds from one heathenish temple towards the next, carrying all kinds of silly wood-carvings, banners, vessels and many other things, making a lot of noise, blowing horns, mightily beating the cymbals and clanking their shields. They also organized distant pilgrimages to particular, especially gracious idols and, on arriving there, they did all kinds of most absurd penance making great, sometimes quite considerable sacrifices to that god. Naturally this was of great benefit to the priests, but never to the ignorant pilgrims. So such general prayers and supplications are never granted by Me. Therefore, whosoever would like to have a good request granted by Me, let Him make a pilgrimage into his heart, telling Me quietly and with simple words of his need, and I shall grant it. For, whoever will not come to Me quite naturally the way he is and will not ask in the proper spirit of full truth, shall not be heard. Only he who truly loves Me, does My will and comes to Me naturally without pomp and compulsion shall always be heard by Me. (The Great Gospel Of John VI, chap. 123:10-11)

If you only believe, but do not bring faith to action, then faith itself is still dead and cannot give real life to the soul, but by the action the faith becomes alive and therefore also the soul by his living faith. Therefore I say to you once more: do not believe only that what you hear from Me, but act according to it, willfully and zealously, then you will receive in yourselves true, eternal life. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 20, 31:6)
If however, when teaching the people in My name, then always do as I do, first through good deeds and then with plain and simple words, and you shall therewith soon count many true disciples. But if you dress yourselves up in mysteries way beyond the stars, and try to impress upon men that you are called of God to judge, bless or curse them, and besides that, get angry if My angels dont want to support you therein, then it must be clear to you that such conduct is not at all My will as revealed to you, but that you have created a new order and from this tried to build a safe church in place of the old Mosaic one, before which your lambs were to bend their knees already from afar. Behold, thus it was with the mosaic church, and when it had been fenced in, it did not bring any or only little, and usually stunted, fruit. I am now giving you a completely free church that does not need any other fencing than with everyone his very own heart wherein the spirit and truth are dwelling and where alone God wants to be recognised and worshipped. Because I gave you My Spirit first, you shall not imagine yourselves by a hairs breadth better than any other person, and you shall not make any particular office of this gift as is done by the heathens and the twice as dark Jews and Pharisees for there is but One who is your Master and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters, and there shall never be any discrimination among you. (The Great Gospel Of John I, 203:5-8)
Yes, in the end they would become just as lethargic as there are many of the prosperous Jews nowadays who are even too lethargic to pray to God themselves, but instead they pay the Pharisees and also other people so that they would pray for them, since they themselves have too little time and it would also be far too inconvenient for them to mumble out the many, many prayers, long as a piece of string, themselves. But once it would get to such a pitiful point with this religion of Mine, then a general judgment as in the days of Noah which leads everything back to the old state of truth cannot be far away. Therefore teach all the people the purest truth and forget all mystical and magical elements, otherwise everything will have been in vain! For if a person comes out of the activity of his free will and transforms into a type of pious lethargy, he will stop being a human being. Instead he will stand under the dignity of an animal and rather resemble a deaf and wild shrub, which simply vegetates fruitlessly under the external influence of the light of the sun and its warmth as a wild shoot and is capable of almost no necessary independent activity any longer. With such people love also then grows cool and the poor neighbor in the end becomes an annoying fly to them which bothers them in their worldly sleep of comfort. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 12, 25:5-8)
What I give to you for nothing, give that also for nothing to others. But that which is offered by the love of enlightened people, accept it, and thank Me for it. For it is only My love in the heart of men who will give it to you. And thus do also not despise the smallest gift. However, never seek earthly gain for the sake of My name and word, neither any worldly kingdom of worldly rulers. For firstly, My Kingdom is not of this world, and secondly, by receiving the earthly gain that you sought to receive, and having received a kingdom of this world, you would have already received the reward of life for your soul, and then you should not expect any further reward from Me from the Heavens. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 22, 34:7-8)
When certain chief principals of a worldly government are too closely connected with its deceitful priesthood, then in the first place, open force cannot be used with success, but in a later stage it surely can be well used. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 87:7) He who wants to catch birds should not start to hit directly into the bushes with clubs, but he should first spread out the nets and only then throw the clubs into the bushes, then a lot of birds will catch themselves at the same time into the nets." (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 87:6)
The moon, the sun, the stars and this earth and everything which is in it, on it and above it, lives and moves, are all remaining miracles of My wisdom and power, and the current miracles are only witnesses thereof, that I am the very Same who has filled since eternity infinity with countless and remaining miracles. If I then effectuate miracles as God, it is nothing miraculous, but the actual miracle about Me is My inconceivable love for you My creatures, and My so big meekness and unselfish goodness, gentleness, patience and actual humility in front of you people, whom I could blow away into nothingness with one breath. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 16, 49:2)
What are all the joys and beatitudes of My heavens for Me, the Father, compared with the bliss to be loved by My dear children as their only true Father! Behold, I give you all the beatitudes for this one bliss, which I have reserved for Myself. And therefore My children shall call no one but Me their Father, which I am and to which I am fully entitled, and no one may take this right from Me as I am the only one and there is none other besides Me. (Household of God,I, 3:10)
I will bless every magnetopath who places his hands upon the ailing in My name so as to bring them healing. But the other kind of miracle-workers and futurologists had better stay away from Me. Also, you should make everyone aware that they should not reveal the future to other people through such special means until they are mature enough to judge such predictions properly. Definite predictions about the future are not only harmful in the highest degree for every soul but are also nonsensical, since a definite future does not exist because everything is in accordance with the free will of human beings. I gave every human being a free spirit, and every human being should make every effort to affect the rebirth of his spirit. When this comes to pass, the future will be revealed to such a person. But as long as that has not happened, there is actually no future for such a human being. Above all, seek the kingdom of God; everything else will come by itself." (chap. 68 & 69, Earth and Moon)
THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST I tell you: This kind of treatment (vaccination against smallpox) has never born the fruit of which foolish mankind dreamt. This type of action fostered and determined superstition towards the alleged beneficial success of the vaccine. through This, however, has become rare, since Jakob Lorber & now, almost any belief among human Gottfried beings is missing, and in its place, we find Mayerhofer the so-called pure knowledge!
For example, take a tree that has drawn out of the soil some vile, spoiled, and againstits-nature not congenial sap. Soon, you will notice that the leaves of the tree come forth malformed and withered, and moreover its sprigs, branches, and trunk are surrounded by all kinds of unpleasant and parasitic plants. If someone only has superficial knowledge of arboriculture, he will, with certainty, come to the conclusion that a grafting with other sicker and weaker plants will definitely not make the tree well, but in the end, one will totally destroy the other. Or, if someone who already has poison in his body or who had poison administered, that he will get well through the same poison that already took three-quarters of his life. Then the additional administering of the same poison will be sufficient to take the last quarter of the already poisoned human being. Is it not obvious that with the tool of death, you never fight against death, instead, you fight at all times only against life? (The Lord through Jakob Lorber. dated 7.2.1841)
God knows about everything and He cares for everything! However, since most men nowadays no longer know about God and His existence, how can they be expected to know what God does and what He ordains for their possible redemption? If God had not allowed the corresponding ailments to follow the sins of men, more than half of mankind would totally perish and the earth would turn into a complete hell and have to be destroyed, its dead wreckage wandering about in endless space, as this visible space of stars and worlds can testify with some examples . (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 55:6-7)
MIRACLE-ARCANUM (remedy)

Listen, I want to give you a little recipe for that. Take every morning and evening a good tablespoon full there from, and you will convince yourself, that this prescription is an actual miracle-arcanum. The first species exists therein, that one unites oneself immediately after waking up with the Lord through the love in His will; such must also take place in the evening. - Then, if someone wants something, he should pay attention to the first thought; that is the second species. This now hold immediately firm and do not exchange it for all the wealth in the world with a second one. Has he done such, then he should ask the Lord, that He, with His endless strength, would unite Himself with the weakness of once own will, thereby grasp the Lord once again with his love, - thats the third species. If such has taken place in all dodder-less intensity, then he should add to these three species another fourth one, and that is the focused firm belief. (The Spiritual Sun II, 18:20-22)
"But you all should remember: when you are gathered in My name like before in the garden of the institution then I also will always be active in your midst, with you and in you, just like before in the garden. The one who will listen to you, will also listen to Me, and I will be merciful to him. And a sick person, who will adhere to Me, will improve when you will lay your hands upon him in My name. The one who will accept you, will also accept Me in you. And therefore, I will forgive his sins and bless him for this time and for eternity. But the one who will not accept you, will also not accept Me, and his sins will remain in his soul and My mercy will be far away from him. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 22:34:1-3)
A fourth sign of My powerful presence with, in and amidst you will be that the physically sick people will improve when out of true neighborly love you will lay on your hand upon them in My name, if the improvement will be beneficial for their soul. It is however obvious that at the same time you will always say in your heart: Lord, not my will, but only Your will be done.' For you cannot know if and when it will be beneficial for a soul that his body should improve, and an eternal life on this Earth in a body is given to no one. Therefore, the laying on of hands cannot free always and everyone from their physical afflictions. But still, you will not commit a sin when you will show this love that has been indicated to you to every sick person. I will be the Helper if it will be useful for the salvation of the soul of the person - and this, only I can know. If you have heard from afar that one or the other friend of yours is lying down sick, then pray for him and lay your hands in spirit upon him, then he will also improve. The prayer that you should only speak out in your heart should thereby consist of the following few words: May Jesus, the Lord, help you, may He strengthen you, may He heal you by His mercy, love and compassion.' If you will speak out these words over a sick friend - or female friend - in full trust and faith in Me, no matter how far that person may be away from you, and thereby lay on your hands in spirit above him, he will improve at the same hour, if that will be useful for the salvation of his soul." (The Great Gospel Of John
Book 21, 11:6-9)
But with the recognition and with the firm desire alone nothing or very little is achieved! The skill in the use of the will of God in the own heart one achieves however only through the power of pure love for God and thereby for ones neighbor; for such alone correct love creates in the soul the living faith and an unshakeable very firmest trust, without which even the very most enlightened person can do nothing or very little. (The Great Gospel Of John V, 82:8)
If a father has an unruly child who is not much inclined to obey his words and commands, he will give him the opportunity by some bad experience to seriously run into something, but at the same time he will also try to, as much as possible, soften the bad consequences. This is also the case between God and men. God will always seek out the means that are soft, but when they are without result, He must use the strongest means to keep humanity on the way that leads to the goal of peace and pure happiness. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 25, 84:18)
What happened when I first came to the earth as a man will happen again. There will be signs - happy they who understand and heed them for their own benefit and that of their fellowmen! Spiritually that which has been predicted will commence - and actually has already commenced - with exactly the same symptoms as once during My pilgrimage on earth. Wars and uprisings, the persecution of My followers, fear of the future and all kinds of diseases were the early signs then and shall not be absent today. THE NEW Not that I am sending them, but men work their own destiny through REVELATION non-comprehension of My divine words that shall remain unchanged of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorber & forever.
Gottfried Mayerhofer
The wind of spiritual freedom is blowing also today, penetrating all human hearts. The human rights that have been disregarded for so long want to be respected and no longer trampled underfoot by just one class - the more powerful. It says that even a worm will turn when trod upon. Well, the mighty of the church and the world have trod on the worm long enough, endeavoring to completely subjugate it and let human dignity begin only with them. But they went too far. This they feel and are now - in their fear of the consequences - looking for means to stop this development. But in vain! As once in Jerusalem, also these mighty of today will reap what they have sown. (Lords Sermon, 1)
(The Lord to His disciples) What would you say if I tell you that shortly after 2,000 years, calculated from now on, firstly this My teaching will be in a much worse state than now the worst paganism and will be even worse than the most stupid what the Pharisees in Jerusalem are now prescribing, which from now on will not last longer than 50 years?! What will you say if I reveal to you that the people of that time will invent and produce large artificial eyes whereby they can look into the great depths of the starry sky and will set up completely different calculations as the Egyptians have done?! Yes, the people will make roads of iron and will drive with fire and steam in cars made of iron, as quickly as a shot arrow flies through the sky! They will fight each other with firearms made from iron and will carry their letters by lightening into all the world, and their ships will move through the power of fire on the large oceans of the world without sail and oars, so quick and easily as an eagle glides through the air, and still thousand and again thousands of things of which you cannot have any idea. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 14, chap. 72:13 written before 1864)
That humanity is neglected for what their education is concerned, while the deity excellently provided for that education since the very first beginning, is only because of the laziness of the people. If nowadays there are still honorable and just men among the people like you and your neighbors, then why are they not all like you? Because they are lazy. That is why the deity let those big cities to be destroyed because laziness and the resulting immorality were dominating there.
(The Great Gospel Of John Book 25, 20:4)
"The worlds industries will be pursued with diligence so as to deaden the spirit more quickly and possibly also destroy completely the anyway scanty seed for the attainment of eternal life. And thus men's hearts, God's sole dwelling place on earth, are becoming stunted. (Gifts from Heaven 11, p. 367)
"The dwellers in the big cities are forever craving for pleasures. They all want to live in comfort, to have entertainment, be distinguished and, if possible, exercise a little bit of power.
All these refinements, however, are nothing else but idolatry, for they are sacrifices of the human spirit to dead materiality." (Spiritual Sun II, 81:10&13)
The people cannot bear the truth for a longer time, become tired and always sink back again into their old judgment and death-bringing laziness.
And then there is truly nothing else that can be done but, through the most extreme ways, awaken the people again and of old, bring them once more upon the ways and mountain paths of light and life.
Therefore, I am saying to you once more: above all, warn the people against spiritual laziness, for with this will start all evil things of which the prophet has spoken, and I must unfortunately permit them. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 17, 95:10-11)

"Men are meant to have everything and arrange their life on earth with as many comforts as possible. They may protect their hands from hard labor so as to gain all the more time for the refinement of their hearts and souls. But if with people's increasing skill, also their selfishness, greed and lust for power will keep growing and, as a result, their spiritual darkness, the worst consequences may be expected." (The Great Gospel Of John V,108:6.)
"It will be like it was at the time of Noah: men will be making more and more improper use of their worldly knowledge and acquired skills, thereby of their own free will be calling forth from the depth of My creation all kinds of judgments upon themselves and, finally, upon the entire earth." (The Great Gospel of John V, 108:4)
Natural events, accidents and diseases preceding this time are the last efforts to save whatever can be saved, that not all may suffocate in the mire of selfishness. The arrogant human heart can only be made pliable through misfortune and blows of fate. Like reality, truth must present itself in a naked form, unembellished by illusions. Only thus can it have a healing effect. And when the material world presents itself undisguised in its transient and deceptive nature, when it rejects a man mockingly, scornfully turning its back on him who wanted to caress it, only then - usually too late - can the spiritual begin to effect its influence; only then are better thoughts and purer emotions awakened. Thus I, as a loving Father, have to guide man towards recognition of the true value of things so that he may find Him Who is permanent peace. (The Lords Sermons, 53)
"Men have now strayed so far from their true goal that no human power would be able to deter them from their pursuit of pleasures." [...] "Therefore, I sober up the nations through distress. I free them from the delusion that the worldly pleasures, for which they are craving, are the foremost thing a man should strive for. Through most unpleasant events I teach them about the instability of worldly self-conceit, worldly glory and worldly possessions and prove to them the eternal permanence of spiritual treasures. To all of them I show that there is yet Another above them who, although He suffers them to do what they want, is holding in His hands the threads of the chain of circumstances." (Lord's Sermons, 49)
"And thus it is possible that in times to come people will be making great discoveries with the help of which they will be able to affect nature on Earth so that this will spring a lot of leaks. The consequences will, indeed, be quite disagreeable and become a punishment for men's wrongly applied will; however, not intended by Me, but simply brought about by their own will." (The Great Gospel of John V, 109:6)
"All kinds of great natural cataclysms, particularly in those spots on earth where people will have built too large and magnificent cities in which the greatest arrogance, lovelessness, evil practices, spurious justice, power , influence, but still the worst poverty (slums) will be reigning." (The Great Gospel Of John VIII, 186:4)
"There will be extreme dearth (inflationary development), famine, many bad diseases, epidemics and pestilence among people, animals and even plants. There will also be great storms on land and at sea; in many places the sea will flood its shores." " (The Great Gospel Of John VIII, 185:3-4)
From now on for nearly 2000 years countless many seers and prophets will be awaken, while at the same time even a bigger number of false prophets and even highly haughty, power-hungry and all love bare false Christs will rise. But also the judgments will continue and there will seldom be a ruler who because of his darkness will not, together with his people, have to endure a severe judgment . Towards the end of the indicated period, I will awaken even bigger prophets and with them, also the judgments will increase and become more widespread.
There will occur great earthquakes and very destructible storms of elements, large price increases, wars, famine, pestilence and many other disasters, and, as I have already remarked earlier, faith will - except for a very few - not be among the people, and will be frozen in the ice of the peoples haughtiness, and one nation will attack the other. The people will be warned through seers and special signs in the sky, of which only a few of Mine will take note of, while the world-people will only regard this as effects of nature and spit on those who still believe in Me. Thereupon the greatest revelation through My repeated return to this earth will take place; but this revelation will already be preempted by the greatest and sharpest judgment and be followed by a general thinning of the world-people through fire and its projectiles, so that I Myself can establish a completely different plant-school for true people on this earth, which then will last until the end of times of this earth. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 6, 150:14-17)
However, once the number of the pure and good will have decreased as in the time of Noah, the Earth will again be visited with a universal judgment in which neither people nor animals or plants will be spared. No longer will their lethal, the fire spitting weapons be of any use to the proud people, nor their fortifications and metal roads on which they will move along with the speed of an arrow. For there will come an enemy from the air and destroy all those who have always done evil. This will truly be a time of shopkeepers and moneychangers. What I did only recently in the temple at Jerusalem to the money-changers and pigeonsellers, I shall do on a large scale all over the Earth and destroy all the selling and money changing stalls through the enemy whom I shall send to the Earth from the vast expanses of the air like a flash of lightning and with a great thunderous noise. Truly, against that one all the armies of the Earth will fight in vain. However, the great, invincible enemy will not harm My few friends, but will spare them for a new plant nursery which will produce new and better people. Do understand this well! But do by no means think that I want it thus and that therefore all this is predestined. Nothing could be further from Me and from you! Yet it will be as it was before the time of Noah. The people will keep putting their worldly knowledge and acquired skills to increasingly evil use and, of their own free will, bring upon themselves and, finally, upon the whole Earth, all kinds of judgment out of the depths of My THE NEW REVELATION creation. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 12, 3:2-4) of JESUS CHRIST
The same admonition applies also today: "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation!" Keep yourselves pure, gain strength through your faith in My love and My divine care which, even if it allows the most terrible things to happen, will never punish those who have followed My teaching with childlike trust and practiced it with faithful zeal.

The signs of the time will pass you by when you have learned to adapt your body to a minimum of physical needs, but instead are more concerned with the building up of your spiritual being. Then - as once My followers did - you will praise My greatness, love and mercy even over the smoking ruins of worldly splendor and battlefields, where matter has been defeated, but the spirit liberated. (The Lords Sermons, 1)
The actual ANTICHRIST" is the generally prevailing obsession for entirely different things than are preached by My Teachings. It is the prevailing inclination of so many people where only the head is active and the heart is being condemned to silence. Here you must accept the "head" or the calculating intellect (as the spiritual principle) as the Antichrist" who has already for a long time been actively working his wiles on earth, endeavoring to explain to mankind, by seductive arguments, that only what the intellect can grasp and elucidate is true. THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob Lorber & Gottfried Mayerhofer (The Advent of Christ)
And still man forgets what I once said: ' Your knowledge is but fragmented!' All these pictures in the Apocalypse of John are spiritual figures. They are prevailing epidemic mental disorders which drive and dominate people. In order to be able to decode these revelations, a person must think on a much higher level than he is capable of at this stage. He must see and understand, from My standpoint, the spiritual inner world of the souls enveloped in a physical body on earth. (The Advent of Christ)
"But what concerns My question about the condition of faith with men in the still faraway future, when the Son of Man will come again to the Earth, in the manner that I have often told you, I say that in general He will find even less living faith than now. For during that time men will have made great progress in many sciences and all kinds of technologies, mostly because of their tireless investigating and calculating under the twigs and extensive branches of the tree of knowledge, and they will achieve great things with the powers of the nature of the Earth, which are now still completely hidden for men, and they will say: Look, that is God there is no other one. So the faith of those people will have almost completely disappeared. Thus, with those people I will find no more faith at My return. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 57:1-2)
The first verse of the prophet has a deep meaning and goes like this: Look, the Lord, Lord Zebaoth will take away out of Jerusalem all kinds of provisions, and also out of the whole of Judah the total provision of bread and the whole provision of water. (Isaiah 3:1). Here, by Jerusalem must be understood the present-day Jewry, just as it is now and already has been for a long time. By Judah must be understood the future generations that then, by accepting My teaching, will be counted to the tribe of Judah. Because of their laziness they will undergo the same fate in a much greater measure as now the Jews in a smaller measure. By the taking away of the provision of bread you must understand the taking away of love and mercy, and by the taking away of the provision of water, the taking away of the true wisdom out of God. And the result thereof will be that all of them will come on a wrong track, and their soul will be in darkness, and nobody will be able to give counsel to another. And even if somebody would give counsel to another, then the one who needed counsel and light will still not trust him and say: What are you talking to me about the light while you yourself are in the same darkness as I am. (The Great Gospel John Book 17, 94:2-4)
Not until true, pure love and the corresponding humility will rule and guide the nations, will it no longer be generally dark on the earth. There will certainly at all times be individuals who walk in the light, but always only few. As long as there are worldly-great and excessively proud and ambitious rulers in the world, the seed of pride and of the lust for power will continue to grow rapidly in all ranks of humankind and night, darkness, selfishness, envy, avarice, persecution and betrayal, as the true elements of hell, will not cease until the time of the Great Judgment, when I shall cleanse the earth anew through fire. After that time no king will rule any more, but only the light of God. You can accept as full truth that almost every two thousand years there is a great change on this earth. So it will also be, counting from now (TN: time of Lords incarnation). (The Great Gospel Of John VI, 76:8, 10)
Since the children only become worse instead of better by the chastisements that come from above, those chastisements happen only seldom, and only when all loving attempts have failed on the blind stubbornness of men. That is why God has always such a great patience with the arrogance of men, so that by constant punishments they would not be driven even more away from Him than what they are already doing themselves. And once God had to visit men with the chastising rod in His hand, then He presents in His other hand although somewhat veiled His heart to them, so that they would see that God the Father, even if He already has the chastising rod in His hand, still comes to meet them with all love, as this is now also the case before your eyes. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 97:10-11)
I say to you: Live only for fifty years according to the proper divine order, - and you will never again see, hear, taste and endure any calamity! I tell you: All calamities, epidemics, all sorts of disease among humans and animals, bad weather, lean and unproductive years, devastating hailstorms, great, all-destructive floods, gales, great storms, locust-plagues and such like are merely consequences of the wrong actions of man! If man was, as far as possible, living within the given order, he would not have to expect any of these things. The years would pass by like pearls on a string, one as blessed as the next, and the habitable part of the earth would never be afflicted by too much cold or too much heat. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 9, 76:1-3))
The reason why I am now giving a full light in this matter is so that in the end no one may be able to excuse himself as if since My bodily presence on earth I had bothered neither about the purity and completeness of My teaching nor the people who accepted it. THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST
When I shall come again to earth I shall undertake a thorough sifting and not accept anyone who will come to Me with whatever excuses, for everyone who seeks in all earnest can and must find what he seeks. However, the sick sheep and asses feeding at the crib shall be administered medicine after which they are sure to become greedy for the feed from the heavens, but then they will as convalescents be fed homoeopathically for a long time. (The Great Gospel Of John I, chap. 91:19-20)

"Henceforth, almost 2000 years will pass before the great judgment will take place, the Lord tells his disciples and close friends. (The Great Gospel of John VI, 174,:7)
In the future, until the end of the world, I will send My messengers from the Heavens, so that My word would not be destroyed and would not be too much slandered by the evil children of this world. But they also will be more or less persecuted for the sake of My name, till the time when I will come back as a flash of lightning that from sunrise to sunset will very brightly illuminate everything that does good or bad things on this Earth. In that time I will let a big sifting come over the whole face of the Earth, and only the good and pure ones will be saved. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 23, 97:9-10)
What happened to the Jews at the time Jerusalem was destroyed will happen again at the end of today's mankind. There will again be the horrors of war and destruction, only in a different form.
THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST And just as in those times the few that believed in Me had a better lot or, if it was hard, were better able to bear it thanks to their firm faith in Me, thus it will be in the time preceding My Second Coming.
(The Lords Sermons, 53)
Everyone who offends against My laws can be forgiven when he changes his ways, recognizes his mistakes, repents, turns to Me and remains in Me and I in him. But the One who tries to undermine My law shall be crushed by it, and he shall cease to exist forever. All the worldly laws undermine My commands, unless men who are instructed by My Spirit give them out of My love. Woe upon the tyrants and despots who rule because of the might and authority of their thrones. For when their measure is full, they shall experience the power of the weak. The ground is Mine and the field is Mine. This tells you the True One, the Eternal God of Love and Wisdom, and He makes it known through a fool to the worldly wise. (The Household of God I, 2:11)
Therefore, always stay meek and humble, and by that in true neighborly love, then no judgment will be called over you, because where during that time the people will live according to My order, there will be no last judgment. I have told you this now beforehand with the purpose that you will also tell and proclaim it to the people, so that finally no one can bring forward the excuse that he had not been warned for the danger. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 17, 99:6 )
And in not completely 2.000 years there will again be a very big and general judgment, leading to salvation of the good ones and to ruin of the worldly great ones and the complete loveless people. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 20, 97:6)
Want, need and all kinds of misery I only let come among the people when they totally have left Me, and have become partly dark and foolish idol worshippers and partly totally selfish and ungodly worldly men. Because need and want will force men to think about the causes of their misery and make them inventive and clever, and in this manner there very soon will appear sensible and wise men among a people who will open the eyes of their fellowmen and will show them the source of the general misery. Then many will leave their paralyzing laziness in order to arm themselves for the battle against the loafers who became powerful, who rule as tyrants among the nations that they have made blind and who are the actual instigators of the general misery on this Earth. Often through hard battle they will be completely conquered and expelled or at least be forced to give the nations such laws that will allow them to live in a decent way. And so happiness and wealth will then always begin among men according to the measure that they have returned to their way to the only true God. If the people would never turn away from God, they also would never fall into need and misery. (The Great Gospel of John, Book 21, 3:4)
Behold now and comprehend the mark of the right hand and the forehead among great and small, rich and poor, free and slaves! Is it not the desire to rule by either power or worldly reason? Tell Me whether one can achieve anything without this mark? Without this mark what is one person to the other? I tell you, if anybody among you has daughters, would he gladly give them to an "unmarked" person, or will they ask for an "unmarked one"? - Therefore, can anybody still procure worldly happiness, without having a mark, or having received an office by the beast? You, yourselves, are THE NEW "marked" - with the REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST exception of My scribe, through Jakob Lorber & whom I have kept Gottfried Mayerhofer unmarked until now with great effort. I tell you however, if I permitted him to ask for one of your daughters, would you not look at him strangely and advise him politely to desist there from, since it would not be profitable, because he is not "marked? (Gifts of Heaven 1, pg 337)
"Therefore, let everyone be full of meekness and humility, and thereby you will show each other the greatest and truest human honor and live together in peace and harmony. Ambition and pride, however, bring forth discontent, vexation, contempt, resentment, anger and, finally, vengeance, war and its evil consequences. The arrogant and ambitious person is also full of selfishness and greed; and because he wants to gain everything for himself alone, in order to enhance his worldly importance, this sadly results in thousands around him possessing nothing and having to live in the greatest poverty and need. This was the case at the time of Noah and will be even more so in the latter days of the new heathendom. This evil and totally hellish state among men is the judgment they will be preparing for themselves. The vast number of the poor and oppressed will finally rise against their arrogant oppressors and get rid of them. That will be a second Deluge through the fire of wrath of the in the end too mightily oppressed poor. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 8, 51:1-3)
"At that time however, men will be able to contact each other from one end of the Earth to the other, and this as fast as the lightning that strikes from a cloud. [...] So then it will be possible to spread the message of My personal return in a very short time over the whole Earth... (The Great Gospel of John Book 21, 62:11)
But until then another thousand and not quite a second thousand years shall elapse! Whereupon I shall send the same angels which you see here now unto mankind with rallying trumpets. These shall so to speak awaken the spiritually slain mankind of the earth from the graves of their night, and like a pillar of fire rolling over the world, these many awoken millions shall fall upon the world powers, and none shall be able to stem them! From then on the earth shall become a paradise again, and I shall lead My children along the right path for evermore. (The Great Gospel of John I, 72:3-4)
"They killed the prophets and left their dead bodies lying in the street for three and onehalf days." This signifies: When mankind heard the teachings of My Chosen Ones, they refused to accept them, mocked My scribes and servants, or regarded them as nonexistent, as dead. They rejected My Teachings or' left them lying on the open street' , not believing in them, but also not completely discarding them either. Until after a short time (figuratively three and one-half days) truth triumphed again, the one believed dead became alive once more and returned to whence he had come, i.e. he ascended to Me. Whosoever comprehends the meaning of these words, that is, what they signify spiritually, will also easily find out the meaning of "the city of Babylon" or "the place of intellectual errors. Whosoever throws himself into My Arms can calmly watch the coming events. He knows that it is all for the benefit of the straying children. Once he will realize from My Words that the world cannot exist in this way - since I did not create it for this purpose - he will also understand that I have to return, in order to save whatever can still be saved! Wherefore he, too, shall strive only for no other goal, than to prepare himself so as to be worthy of and be counted as one of "My Children", and not be swept away from the earth and annihilated with the rest of the debris!" (The Advent of Christ - Jakob Lorber and Gottfried Mayerhofer)
The sign of the Son of Man, however, is the again newly awakened love in this Church, with all its attributes like mercy, patience, gentleness, humility, acquiescence, obedience and acceptance of all afflictions of the cross. Behold, this living sign of the son of man will appear in the sky of the inner eternal life and will not kill but exceedingly enliven. At such an occasion the tribes of the earth addicted to the world will howl, moan and lament as all their hellish deception consisting of the uncountable products for sale and for purchase will not be wanted anymore. The reason is the people of My sign will have little to do with the world dreamers, the traders and the money changers. These will turn their eyes only where they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with great power and glory which is the living Word in the heart of man or My eternal love in its fullness which therefore is of great power and glory. And the clouds of heaven is the endless Wisdom Itself in this living Word. []

The clouds themselves, however, will receive you in the beyond in My kingdom and will be forever your home. That means that only there will you visibly recognize with great bliss the great power and glory of the Son of Man in all fullness. (Gifts of Heaven 1, pg 337, or HiG.01_41.05.01.a, 01)
(The Lord to Peter) Verily, I say to you: all your successors who are not prepared by Me, but trained only by people in certain world-schools to follow your office, will not be looked at by Me; since only the antichrist will qualify his disciples in this way. [] However, during later times there will be only a few, because the antichrist will expand his regiment too much; but when he thinks to be the highest in the world, he will be brought down forever! Have you understood this well and clear? (The Great Gospel Of John Book 6, 150:25, 27)
The temples of idolatry of the present time will indeed have been destroyed a long time ago, but instead of them, numerous other ones will be build by the antichrist, and this even in My name. And their priests will let themselves be exceedingly honored as My replacements on Earth, and they will make effort to gather all worldly treasures. They will fatten themselves, but the people will be in great need spiritually and physically. Look, when that paganism will predominate, then the great judgment will soon be poured out over the new harlot of Babylon." (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 87:14-15)
Remain with this, and teach it also to all other nations, then you will save Me from sending the threatened judgment over all the heathens in later times. However, you should not shudder and tremble before the people, but with a good and courageous will, you should proclaim to them openly the full godly seriousness of the truth. And even if you should not be able to oppose effectively and successfully all the heathens in a short time, the pure truth will very well be able to do that in future times. Because the great judgment over the kingdom of the lie that I have announced, consists in the victory of the truth. And that will not be a different truth than what I am proclaiming to you now. During that time, I will again awaken men and even virgins who will be transmitting this truth out of My mouth as pure and as clear into their heart as I am proclaiming it to you now with My physical mouth, and that truth will be the mighty and relentless judge over all the blind heathens. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 90:4-5)
And still further, I say to you: in one and the same night of the soul, 2 people will lie in one and the same bed. Also then, the one will be accepted and the other left behind, which means: 2 people will outwardly be in the sphere of one and the same confession of faith, but the one will be in the active living faith and will therefore be accepted in the living and lightful Kingdom of God, but the other will only adhere to the outer cult, which has no inner value for the life of the soul and the spirit, and will not be accepted in the living and lightful Kingdom of God, because his faith without the works of neighborly love is as it were dead. And further: there will be 2 people in the field of work. The one who will work without self-interest in the living faith out of love for God and out of love for his fellowman, will also be accepted in the true Kingdom of God. But the one who will work in the same field as the Pharisees without inner living faith out of pure self-interest, will obviously be left behind and will not be accepted in the living and lightful Kingdom of God. See, that is how it will be and happen during the 2nd coming of the Son of Man, and this is how it will manifest itself. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 21, 38:10-12)
Yes, it even will happen that false prophets will exalt themselves on golden thrones and persecute as soon as possible the true ones that are chosen and called by Me. However, when this will happen, then also their judgment and their end will come over them, and My teaching will despite that continue to exist among the people on Earth. But it will only shine, radiate and comfort in quietness as a free possession among the people, but never as a ruler who is commanding entire nations on a ruler throne with crown, staff and scepter. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 18, 62:7) "It will not be long before your social system, which you think will continue for ever, will collapse." (Lord's Sermons, 35).
When next time I will come again on this Earth to keep judgment over such dead epicures, but also to give the reward of life to those who out of love for God and their fellowman have suffered much misery and distress, then the Earth will no more be measured with any measuring stick for the benefit of one person only, but wherever one will stand, he will also reap and provide for his need. And the people will well support one another, and no one will say: Look, this is my property and I am lord over it.' Because then men will perceive that I alone am the Lord, and that they all are brothers and sisters. (The Great Gospel Of John, Book 20, 30:4)
When man, bent down by disaster, no longer knows what to do, when the whole religious edifice built perhaps from youth on has broken down with the storm of fate, a light spark begins to gleam in the east. At first it is a little star, then it rises higher and higher, grows bigger, becomes a sun, the sun of grace with My image in the center and surrounded by My teaching in the form of a pencil of rays, illuminates the unhappy heart of the man, pouring gentle comfort and light into his heart and allows perhaps for the first time the sorely tried to feel the spiritual foretaste of heaven, of a divine love. The man stands up, understands the graciousness of his Father and blesses the blows struck him by fate, which after all had no other purpose but to lead him into the arms of Him who long ago opened them wide to receive him but who knew no other way of achieving it than by a seeming misfortune. (Secrets of life, 7)
Beyond My wisdom and beyond My will nothing can happen. What happens and what still is going to happen, is calculated and directed from above and has its deepest holy reason; however, who is with Me in the heart and in love and in the will, the very worst world cannot harm him in any way. However, who is one with Me only in wisdom, will have to endure many and evil battles in the world; since the world will in its material reason never recognize, that its apparent something, is actually nothing before the spirit. Be content with this and have a totally cheerful disposition with Me! (The Great Gospel Of John Book 15, 22:15)
Watch however, primarily for MY ARRIVAL WITHIN YOU and worry less about the general one. Tell Me within your hearts in prayer for which you care in general. Dont bother about the rest. Because the great WHEN, HOW and WHY lies safely in the best of hands! This I am telling you, your great, holy and most loving Father. (Gifts of Heaven 1, pg 319,16 or HiG.01_41.03.25.b,16)
You demand of Me unlimited grace and I demand of you unlimited love. With the exchange of these two conditions it is only you who gain, since I want to accord you a might that shall make you LORDS OF ALL THAT WAS CREATED!
Prepare yourselves to become worthy pupils of the carpenter's son, of the teacher and redeemer on the cross and of the God and Father Who has engraved His two commandments of love with brightly shining letters into all creation, throughout its vast expanses. Prepare yourselves to spread light where the blind implore you for it so that they, too, may share in the grace, that they may, through direct communication, learn in the shortest possible way what others have often recognized only very late, after much effort and many tribulations, that I - the Lord and Creator of all that exists - am also the Father Who never denies anything to a supplicant if it is for his good, and Who is most willing to open the eyes of the blind that he may recognize and appreciate his Father in the simplicity of Jesus and the glory of the Creator. Amen. (The Lords Sermons, 12)

For all future times and eternities I wanted to create for Myself true and real children completely resembling Me, however not as usual, but truly bring them up by My fatherly love, so that they can rule with Me the whole of eternity. However, to achieve this, I, the infinite, eternal God, took on the flesh for the main life centre of My divine being, to present Myself to you, My children, as visible and touchable Father and to teach you Myself out of My very own mouth and heart the true, divine love, wisdom and power, by which you like Myself should and will rule, not only all the beings of this current creation period, but also the preceding ones and all which will follow. And therefore this creation period has above all others the still by you not sufficiently recognized advantage, that it is in the whole of eternity and infinity the only one, in which I clothed Myself completely in the human flesh, and in the whole, large creation-man I have chosen this shell-globe, and in it the central sun region of Sirius, orbited by two-hundred million suns where each is orbited by many earth bodies, in particular this earth on which we are standing now, to become Myself a person and to raise you people as My true children for the whole of infinity and eternity backwards and forwards. (The Great Gospel Of John Book 10, 87:3-5)
But despite such incalculable lengths of time for you of the great worlds its time will one day nonetheless be over and then once again a period of creation will have taken its course and be completed. After that a new period of creation will begin in an endlessly remote region of space of creation. And you will be taking an active part in this, as well as in countless others following it, but only as My true children. For whoever does not achieve the childhood of God on the path that is shown, will remain, live and act and walk on his spiritual earth as an indeed complete, sensible and ever-blessed creature and will even visit other neighboring spiritual worlds yes, he will be able to travel across the whole surface of the globe!
THE NEW REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST through Jakob & Gottfried Lorber Mayerhofer
But in all eternity he will go no further, and the need to achieve something higher in an active, living way will not burn in him. But My children will always be with Me and will think, feel, want and act along with Me as if with one heart! That will be the endlessly great difference between My true children and the creatures blessed with common sense and understanding. Therefore make sure that you will one day be found to be suitable and worthy to be My children! (The Great Gospel Of John Book 5, 7:8-10)
"Therefore, do search only in the heart for wisdom and true revelation from Me, and you will easily understand it and remain with it for your whole life and forever." (The Great Gospel of John III, 184:6)
Do understand this God, who once in human form descended from heaven to you weak created beings, who left to you precepts of love, of tolerance, of forgiveness.
Become engrossed in the thought about His greatness, His might, His infinite creation. At the same time realize what it means that He, this infinite Creator and Lord, wants to let you feel nothing of these attributes overwhelming you but wants only to be your Father, your loving guide, and who even now for quite a while has been in direct contact with you, trying to draw you to Him, explaining and revealing to you all the secrets of His self, His creation. And this only so that you may learn to love Him and to find your spiritual path more easily, which is mapped out for all who were created by Him and through Him." (Secrets of life, chap. 23)
Therefore, take great pains to become worthy of My direct communication as My disciples once did! You, too, as those disciples did, should spread My Word. Sow it, but in such a way that it does not fall upon stony ground. Remember that everything you now so richly receive from Me is not intended for you alone, but through you also for others. One or the other will meet with circumstances where he will have to test what he has read and heard; he will have to show to what extent he has comprehended and adopted it in order to pass it on to others, just as I gave it to him. So do not leave over any of My bread! Digest it spiritually! Make it your own, so that you - as living evidence can prove through deeds, not only with words, that love, patience, meekness, forgiveness, perseverance, self-sacrifice and mercy are the foundation of your faith, the seven baskets into which you want to gather your good deeds, so that in your own basket of life you can hand them to Him Who has always showered upon you many favors and a great deal of light from His heavens! (The Sermons of the Lord, 32)
Therefore, My dear children! You, most of whom have already trodden the path of tears and suffering, you, on whom I have taken mercy, giving you My word, do not lose heart! You will not be charged so highly for your past as one or the other perhaps believes, and I will sweeten your future as far as possible, lest you forget Me and My teaching. Let this be said to you for your solace by Him, who loves and blesses you like all His children!" (Secrets of life, chap. 11)
Thus the lord of the vineyard will soon be occupied with paying the wages and I shall soon be distributing the crowns and palms of victory among those who - whether late or early - were the true representatives and propagators of My teaching. Therefore, make sure that you not only belong to those chosen to hear My Word but that you may be counted among the elect who, like diligent laborers in a vineyard, have in mankind's old age contributed most to win from the hard and loveless dealings of the world as much spiritual as possible which one day in the Kingdom of Heaven, after the process of fermentation, will be bearing spiritual fruits. (The Lord's Sermons, 10)
Above all stick to love; this will not forsake you. Everything may pass, but love remains forever. Where there is love, there is everything, for love preserves all things and is everywhere the foundation of all existence. Therefore do not be faint-hearted nor sad or morose, but in everything brave, serene and cheerful, of a pleasant mind, heart and spirit, then you will walk your path with ease and always behold the gates of heaven wide open before you. This will make it easy for you to lead your earlier revealed worldfriends, ennobled, into My Kingdom. This is the most ardent loving will of the One Who is here showing you this immense grace through the servant. Amen (The Household of God I, supplement)
