Teaching 226:

1. The master blesses you, people. I prepare you that you may refresh yourself in my presence and receive strength to withstand the mental, moral, and material trials that are still among you.

2. I have often spoken to you of the trials that will afflict the world in this time. When you open your eyes, you will see that they have already arrived. Tomorrow still greater ones will come. You who have the antidote for them will have the opportunity to gain respect. If you obey my instructions, you will be able to command the forces of nature, which will then pause and do no harm to your loved ones, and they will obey you like obedient servants. Your power will not be limited to a small group of people, but whole regions and nations will receive relief in their tribulations through the prayer of the "people of Israel". But woe betide yourselves if you do not remain "awake" and praying, for then your lack of fulfillment of your mission will weigh on your soul, and you will feel too frail to face adversity.

3. In this time of reflection and fulfillment of the mission, you must prepare yourselves to complete the mission that you began in times past. Correct mistakes, lovingly give back to your soul its purity. Your doubt is great because as emissaries of Me you have not passed on all that I have entrusted to you for the benefit of mankind.

4. Blessed is he who has faith, but I bless also him who comes to me and asks me for this precious gift. "Faith will save you" I have always told you. In the severe crises, in the great trials, everyone who prays and trusts will be saved. Why do you sometimes fall into the abyss of despair and hopelessness, even though you know that I love you and that you enjoy my full protection? If you have no active faith, seek it in yourselves, and when you have found it, carry it with you like a lamp to light your way. Then you will be strong, patient, and agree with your fate.

5. I have taught you to pray, and in that prayer we were in communion of thought. You have called Me in your sufferings and in your hours of peace. Even though you have sinned, you have sought My presence to weep with Me over your transgressions and thus calm your soul. My love and my patience are boundless and are manifested without ceasing with you.

6. The appointed date for my departure is drawing near. My word will then end, but I will remain in the Spirit in the heart of my disciples. At this time you must have learned to seek Me in the inner temple of your being. The glory of it will be grounded in faith, in the love and elevation of your soul. No one will be able to destroy this sanctuary if you have built it with unwavering faith. Remain steadfast in my teaching so that you may recognize the task which I have entrusted to your soul at all times.

7. Seek Me in the Infinite with the sensitivity of your soul, but do not ask to see Me Your eyes cannot see my Spirit. John, my disciple of the Second Age, in his great vision, did not see my Spirit in all its glory. I showed his spiritual eyes only symbols, which contained a great mystery, which he was not able to interpret in all his elevation. He thanked Me for what I had granted him and wrote down for future generations what he saw and heard in that great face.

8. Prophets of this time: penetrate reverently into the Infinite, and I will grant you beautiful visions for your preparation, which will encourage the people and announce to them the events to come Even children will bear witness to what they have seen; I will grant them great visions. The light of my wisdom will shine upon you.

9. The word which the Master transmits at this time has the privilege of revealing the teachings unknown to men through a prepared man who performs his task as a voice bearer with real understanding At the same time, this grace teaches you to understand, through my rallies, the development that the soul has reached in the Third Age.

10. My light has made you clearly recognize this truth; it permeates your whole being. It is crystal clear water for the weary soul to quench its thirst. For the heart, it is encouragement in the struggle against the misery and temptations that you have to resist day after day. This knowledge is the strength that encourages you, is the grace that renews my disciples.

11. In order to know a little more of the soul and the life that surrounds you, you had to unfold yourselves during different earth lives. You have entered the age of light, which enables you to recognize the teachings of my teaching in their true meaning, no longer in the way you imagined them. And this enables you to recognize the path that leads to eternal life. How many revelations will man know through this light, and how many past errors will he have to lament when he discovers them! For now is the hour of awakening, is the age of freedom of Spirit and thought.

12. All superfluous customs, which man carried with him like chains, will fall away from him when he frees himself from materialism by his new preparation.

13. You will have to raise your voice so that the world may hear it. You shall be the mouthpieces of this Good News, as true witnesses who can explain what their ears heard and their minds received, confirming it with your works of love and mercy.

14. If up to now there was no perfection in your actions, it is because you would not be transformed by my teaching. You have lacked will, self-denial and effort. But your soul wants to soar up in the desire to come closer to me and to fulfill its task.

15. When men of science trumpet the greatness of their erudition, it is because they are convinced of it. In order to speak of my work, you too must delve into it until you are convinced of its truth.

16. Understand that of that which you do not know, you cannot speak or confirm it for fear of falling into lie or error. But if you are prepared, if there is knowledge and deep faith within you, you will possess the light of truth.

17. Remember that my teaching is not limited to your imaginations and understanding. My divine wisdom has no limit. No one can claim to have known or understood any of my revelations before I have revealed them to him.

18. While scientists try to explain everything with their material knowledge, I reveal to the humble the spiritual life, the actual life, in which is the cause, reason, and explanation of all that exists.

19. From the knowledge you impart will arise the conception that men will make of my work. Many will judge my teaching according to your inconspicuousness because of a lack of understanding, just as in the "Second Age" Jesus, the Christ, was judged by his humble appearance and simple garment, and because those twelve who followed him were also simply clothed. But I tell you in truth that they were not covered with rags, and that they had only scorned the earthly vanities, because they had understood, on the basis of my teaching, what the true values of the soul are.

20. I tell you, disciples, when men set out to study my work, and when they seek you out and question you, do not be tempted to think yourselves superior because of the knowledge you have received from Me. The more humble you show yourselves, the nobler and more trustworthy they will think you are.

21. In this way the light that dissolves fanaticism and frees the soul will gradually advance from man to man. And those who called themselves Christians without being so will know and interpret the true teachings of Christ through this light. For it will give them an uplifting conception of the spiritual life of which Jesus spoke in his teachings.

22. Disciples, listen to Me, for he who taught you humility and called you brothers in his love is the same one who speaks to you today at this time.

23. My secret treasury opens before the disciples to transform them into masters. Hear Me and study My Word so that I may send you to the provinces and peoples to spread My teachings.

24. In this time I speak to you from my "throne", and my voice is heard on your world through a man gifted by Me.

25. As in the first time the coming of the Messiah was announced, so I also announced to you my return. And here I am now!

26. In 1866 the Spirit of Elijah, the prophet and pioneer, made himself known to prepare the ways of the Lord, to light a light in the heart of the "first," to announce to them my imminent coming, and to prepare the voice-bearers, men and women without education, through whom my HolySpirit would be revealed.

27. Through these mouthpieces I have made myself known, so that my word may be heard also by the appointed servants of God on earth, so that all those who violate my laws in any way may refrain from further profaning them, and teach them the true way that leads to me.

28. The scribes and Pharisees will rise again to judge Me and put Me to the test ─ now in you. But I say to you, be humble with that humility which I teach you so that they may recognize you as my disciples.

29. The people of Israel are not yet united. For while some are "in the Spirit," the others still have an earth body. While the some are saved, the others stand at the edge of the abyss. Among these are those who believe to love the Father, but in reality worship the Golden Calf. But the time is drawing near when this people will be united and prepared.

30. You who hear Me and are part of that people are among those who have followed the sound of My call, which is like the ringing of a soothing bell The reward for your obedience and good will you will receive when you hear "the Divine Word" ─ the same that spoke in Jesus, the rabbi of Galilee.

31. I teach you not to censor the beliefs and ritual acts of your fellow men in their various religious communities. My teaching, which is all-embracing, teaches you to respect every faith. You know that I am in everyone, both in him who is pure and in him who is defiled by sin.

32. I love all and punish no one. It is my righteousness that corrects and perfects souls.

33. The Divine Spirit is full of love; in him there is no wrath. Believe it: If the Father would feel anger for a moment in the face of your insults and transgressions, that moment would be enough to annihilate you.

34. This is why I have come "on the white cloud" to let you hear my word, to remove your wickedness, to open your spiritual eyes to the truth and to present myself in the desert of your life as a palm tree under whose shadows you have rested.

35. I have not given you material riches, for if you were to receive everything, you would turn your backs on Me. What would you do if you became rich? But truly, I tell you: What I am giving you at present is more than a jewel ─ it is a treasure.

36. Where do the souls go after physical death? Your heart does not know, it does not know those worlds. But you must ascend on the narrow path of your soul's development, so that your soul does not enter the valley of darkness.

37. Rise to live a new life, a life of peace. I want you now to "watch" and pray, because mankind is threatened with destruction.

38. There are some who do not believe in my presence, because they oppose the wretchedness and modesty of these assembly places and the inconspicuousness of the voices through which I make myself known. But if those who doubt in this way were to study the life of Christ, they would realize that he never sought ostentation, homage or riches.

39. These places can be as poor and low as the stable and the straw on which I was born then.

40. Disciples, you have been at my heavenly table, and in it you have eaten and drunk the bread and wine of my love.

41. From my "throne" I send my ray to delight you with the concert of my Word.

42. I have awaited your coming, as in times past.

43. Sit at my table and surround Me. If you are hungry and thirsty ─ here are the dishes: Help yourselves and eat. If you feel sad or sick ─ here is my presence to give you health and comfort.

44. Always nourish the hope that you will live with Me forever. Since I have fulfilled my promises concerning the world, I will also fulfill my promises concerning spiritual life.

45. Perform merits on earth, and you will never stray from the way that leads to me

46. At this time you are crossing a new desert where you did not die of hunger because in it the miracle of My Word was done, which nourished your soul, just as you nourished yourselves with manna in the wilderness of the desert and later ate of the loaves and fishes of the miracle of Jesus ─ also in the desert.

47. Today it is not the hot sandy desert that you cross, nor is it the bread of the earth that I offer you. Now you ascend to the top of the mountain, and the bread of eternal life nourishes you. Your soul fully understands the figurative sense in which I speak to you, because your soul development enables you to penetrate into the core of my teaching.

48. You are now climbing up the mountain step by step under the weight of your cross. When you are weary, call me, and immediately the Master, as co-bearer of the cross, will stand by you with your burden, so that you can continue your way of atonement until the end. You all have assignments and duties, so I am with all of you ─ both with the child, the youth and the adult. But if I have marked out the fate for you and entrusted the cross to you, it is because I know that you can do justice to your Father.

49. No one will be able to determine his spiritual degree of development, nor the plane of existence in which his fellow man is. Only I can judge this.

50. I have come to break the chains that bind you to the world, to give you the spiritual freedom to rise up in desire for the light, which is the truth.

51. No one wants to be last; you all want to be first. Earn merits, therefore, work. Irrigate the fields with love, make them fertile and sow the seed of the Master on them. Then the generations that come after you will know by your mark that you have been taught by the Father.

52. Defend your fields with the sword of light which I have given you so that temptation does not spoil your seeds.

53. I have offered you the kingdom of heaven as a reward for your spiritual work. In it you will be with your Creator, who comes to you in this era as Father and Master to comfort and enlighten you. Here is my teaching in which you will see my love, my sincerity, my justice and also my counsel with which I want to lead you to wisdom.

54. At all times I have revealed myself to man in a simple way so that he could understand me; I have always done it in the comprehension of your mind and heart. I have come down to you to give you an example of humility with this, when I stooped down to your miserable life to raise you up to a better life.

55. I asked you which way I speak to you you would prefer, and you answered Me that you would recognize Me in every form in which I would do this. Do not put me to the test. What you must do is to try to spiritualize yourselves so that you may better interpret my rallies and thereby fully testify to my teaching with works of true love.

56. I have always brought you the light and shown you the upwardly leading way. Today I prepare you so that you may fall into a greater rapture with your prayer and may be able to see the spiritual life at close quarters and see your Father in all his glory over his creatures.

57. My Spirit is currently calling every soul, mind and heart to feed on Me because you are hungry. You have not known how to feed yourselves from My words, have not used the teachings I have given you in times past. The book of life, in which the law and the commandments are, is kept, forgotten by the present world.

58. I have come in the Spirit, and my presence has stirred you up. My light has come to you, and your conscience has reminded you of all your works.

59. I invite you to enter into a new life and to attain a greater spiritual upliftment. I have allowed your soul development through the ages so that today you may understand My revelations and, having heard Me, take with your soul every responsibility that comes to you and carry out your mission with love.

60. How will you be able to lead humanity to attain spirituality in an epoch of so much materialization and spiritual confusion? Be aware that your work is difficult, that you must be strong and patient in the struggle to accomplish it. You must make a great effort to correct the misinterpretation given to My law and also the imperfect way in which you offer your worship to Me. But you must bear in mind that you cannot change your ideas and forms of worship in an instant, but that in order to achieve this, you must arm yourselves with patience and good will and set an example of love with your works.

61. In the First Days your offerings were material. Your sacrifices were innocent beings: Lambs or birds, also seeds and field crops, with which you believed to be pleasing to me. You were still very immature and could not look beyond your world. I granted you one period of time after another, always in expectation of your awakening.

62. In the second time you received my word through Jesus, and He taught you the most perfect love a child can have for his Father. He opened up a new world to man's soul, leaving you a treasure of wisdom which you still have not understood. Today, in the Third Age, I open for you the Book of Life and show you in it new lessons that speak to you of the nearness of my Spirit, the age of peace that awaits man after his purification and spiritual upliftment.

63. All these lessons live in the depths of your soul. Today I am teaching you so that tomorrow you may be leaders and teachers of the new generations and take care of their souls so that no useless traditions or false knowledge take root in them. Carry in your soul the law and my word. Teach with it and put humanity, which is beginning to come alive, on the safe path.

64. I have sent neither Moses nor the prophets to bring you this message. I have come myself to prepare you to let you take a decisive step on the spiritual path.

65. Watch and pray, always be prudent and act according to my teaching, so that you may know the greatness of this revelation of the Third Age.

My peace be with you!
