8080 Through natural events God reveals His power....

January 15, 1962: Book 85

I want to enlighten you about everything which only serves to ensure that you still take the path to Me, your God and creator, Whom you once voluntarily left, before the end. You humans don't know the reason for your existence as a human being on this earth and yet you should try to find out about it, for only then will you live your earthly life consciously. You are indeed told that you are on earth in order to become perfect, but because you lack closer understanding these teachings do not touch you.... You must first be truthfully instructed and take a mental stand on it yourselves.... Only then will you live your life appropriately. And I try to convey this truth to you, yet your free will is decisive as to whether you accept and recognize it as truth. But now you humans are close to the end, and if you still want to reach maturity of soul by then you must take it seriously and consciously make contact with your God and creator.... You must therefore believe in Him for the time being.... And therefore you will still experience many things which will prove to you a 'power' outside the earthly world (power?) .... You will not be able to deny the intervention of a power which you cannot determine yourselves, which also shapes your destiny and to which you must surrender. If only you come to this realization in earthly life then the first step has already been taken, for then it will also be possible for you to make contact with this power, and then you will be grasped by Me and truly guided step by step upwards.... And now you will also understand why I so often try to reveal Myself in natural events.... People must be able to see that human will, human powers are eliminated when things take place in nature which, as catastrophes, also claim countless human lives.... They must learn to recognize a power above themselves, even though such events do not yet signify a compulsion to believe, since completely unbelieving people also give themselves other reasons for such events if they are still completely opposed to Me. Yet I reveal Myself in natural events of all kinds.... yet individual people will always feel addressed by them, i.e. they will recognize that I am and that they themselves also originated from Me. There is only a short time left until the end, but there will still be many revelations of this kind, for I can no longer speak to those who are hardened in any other way, and only through the most severe strokes of fate can some souls still be won over who suddenly realize that they themselves are powerless and dependent on the one Who created them.... And again and again I will therefore address people.... loudly and powerfully to those who pay no attention to a quiet address, for the connection between Me and earth will always remain in place because you humans are creations of My love which I want to win back. And the closer the end is the louder My voice will sound, which will express itself through the elements of nature.... until the last day has come when harvest will be held.... where everything will fall to death again which has completely turned away from Me and a new life will begin on the new earth....

Amen
