But the best way against such extremely deceitful nonsense is the information that you can give to the better part of the people, because once they will very well know what these things really are, then the rabble will soon know it also and that is then the quickest and most important method to drive such evil spirits of flesh and blood out. [6] 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." (GGJ, Book 18, chap. 87.About the ruins where ghosts are) "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) "If somebody comes to ask your help, you must not withhold it from him, for My providence sees to it that in such cases nobody can look for help until is the right time for the one possessed to be rendered the proper help. It must, therefore, not be withheld from the one seeking it." (GGJ II 169:9) "If your words found acclaim in the world they would not be of Me. To be despised by the world has at all times been the greatest witness for that which comes from Me." (Himmelsgaben II p. 98) "Where you can make no change, because of the freedom of will and of vision given to every man, save yourself all toil and trouble in future." (Himmelsgaben II p. 97) „Therefore do not concern yourselves over those who now and in later times will not be able to learn of Me, for My Father knows them all and has not called a single one of them into existence for their eternal perdition, but to eternal resurrection, out of his love and wisdom." "Therefore, man's soul must gain the inner living light of its indwelling spirit out of God trough proper instruction and then through its own searching, examining, recognizing, believing and willing, then it has been truly helped forever. Any other, imposed help, as suggested by you, would only have a destructive effect upon its life-elements and never a healing one." (GGJ VIII/126, 5 on). "Yet allow everyone their free will and never coerce them, for you know now that any kind of moral compulsion is totally against My eternal ordinance. What I do not do, you also shall not do." (GGJ VIII 43, 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." (GGJ VIII 40. 24) "I have not used coercion on any of you (the disciples), but merely called out to you, in complete freedom: Anyone who wishes to do so may come, hear, see, and follow Me. And you did so of your own free will. Continue to do so in future, in My name, and you will be following a good road." "But anyone wanting to make a compulsion out of this will be no disciple of Mine, and he shall find rocks, cliffs and thorns on his road." (GGJ VIII 20, 3-5) "The living word (New Revelation) shall be a fire in the hearts of those who possess it." "All that is human, world-taught word, however, shall be empty, dry straw; and likewise all pulpit speeches." (Himmelsgaben II, p. 198) "Consider, there are millions of people who have to be guided to the right door, the door of light." (Lord’ Sermons 132) "Do not fear that they shall win." (Lord’ Sermons 107) "When all spiritual and physical wars have ceased, then all will understand Me easily and also freely obey My commandments, that start with love of your neighbor and end with love for God ' " (Wiederk. 115) 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." (GGJ I, 22;9) "[9] My cherished friends, when teaching, one has to proceed most carefully. One need not blurt everything out straight-away, or serve all foods at once at a dinner. One enters a house quietly, and quietly knocks at one or the other door. And when giving a dinner, one serves a second course only after the guests have consumed the first. Otherwise, in the case of being a visitor, one’s rudeness shall become notorious; and as a cheeky gatecrasher, one will achieve little or nothing on the host’s premises. While, on the other hand, the host would take away the guests’ appetite if he were to set a medley of different foods on the table simultaneously, whereas, in proper sequence, the guests’ appetite would be preserved, and the latter would praise the host for his superb hospitality." (GGJ Book 3, chap. 23) [14] Then many fathers and mother hurried to their homes and brought soon a great number of children with them who were sick and weak in a more or lesser degree, and they asked Me if I would like to bless them all and make them healthy again by that. [15] However, the number of children that they brought with them was considerable and when the disciples heard that I wanted to touch every child separately, according to the wish of the parents, they said: “Well, well, the day will hardly last for 2 little hours. If the Lord has to touch and bless every child separately, the day will be over, and we still have to travel to another place, because it is out of the question that we should stay here, because already along the way He said that He would not stay overnight in the first village. And once He had spoken out something, He never deviates one hair’s breadth from it. Let us send back the children who are crowding with the good remark that it is not necessary for every child to be touched separately. It is sufficient that He speaks outonly one word, then they all will be healed and be completely and entirely blessed and strengthened.” [16] After they had deliberated this, the disciples prevented them to come to Me and warned those who wildly would want to press through. [17] However, I called all these many children to Me and said to the disciples: “Oh, let all these children come to Me and do not prevent them, because for such children is the Kingdom of God. Truly I say to you: whoever does not take possession of the Kingdom of God as a child, will not enter into it.” [18] Then the disciples let all the children come to Me and I touched them all, pressed them to My heart and fondled them, and they all became well, strong and healthy, and I let them go with the unceasing words of gratitude of the parents. [19] Then a few disciples came to Me and said: “Lord, You have now again made a new condition to take part in the Kingdom of God. How can we as most of us gray haired men, become again children in order to come into the Kingdom of God? And still, You have said just now very clearly that a person who does not take possession of the Kingdom of God as a child, will not enter into it. If this is the case, then what is the use of our effort, abstaining and self-denial?” [20] I said: “Truly, a lot of patience is needed to go along with you. How long will I have to suffer you before you will understand things clearly? 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? Did you understand that?” (GGJ Book 20, chap. 30)
