What defiles a man, what enters or what comes out of him
What defiles a man, what enters or what comes out of him?
«He said to them, “Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into someone from the outside cannot defile that person because it does not go into his heart but into the stomach, and then into the sewer (thus he declared all foods to be clean)?”» (Mark: 7/18-19.)

«God also said, 'Look, to you I give all the seed-bearing plants everywhere on the surface of the earth, and all the trees with seed-bearing fruit; this will be your food. »
(Gen. 1/29.)

«God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, 'Breed, multiply and fill the earth.»
(Gen. 9/1.)
«Every living thing that moves will be yours to eat, no less than the foliage of the plants. I give you everything, but you must not eat flesh with life, that is to say blood, in it.» (Gen. 9/3-4.)

(Translated by I.A.)
… Behold my flowers, the holy prudes, holy martyrs, armies of angels, holy martyr virgins now come and sing to you. Well children, well children with your heart full of joy, oh, well my flowers! I am glad for you and for your joy as well, for in this night of plagues and debaucheries it is only you that pleased me. Oh, I sit and cry, as the earth is full of grave sins which have been done this night, debaucheries worse than in Sodom and Gomorrah; drunkenness, murders, abortions. I cannot look down on my earth. I cannot look because of the transgressions horror. The body laid hold of the soul, for a lustful and bloated body is a dead soul. Oh beloved, food and self-indulgence brought the man Adam out of Eden. Food and disobedience and immorality will fill the hell.
Excerpt from God’s Word, from December 31, 1995

Here is what I say to you: “I went to a dance hall and I found a sleeping demon; he had no work to do with anyone as all were his. I went into a church and from the door to the altar there were many demons with all kinds of evils; enmity, pride, libation, debauchery thoughts, tobacco. I found the priest smoking at the altar. But you, children do not judge, that there is someone to judge them.”
Oh, well my children, I have not come to destroy and tell you lies. I have come to tell you to love one another. Oh, your Father looks at you and does not find pleasant souls among you to accomplish the place in heaven. Here, the places are waiting for you and there is none to occupy them. Look, a Christian says that he cannot but eat meat.
Excerpt from God’s Word, from May 14, 1957
***
… The day comes when for a meal you stay out of the garden, for Adam was driven out of the garden for a meal. See about the food on forbidden days. Why do you eat fish on forbidden days? Why do you say that not what enters a body defiles a man, but that what comes out of his mouth defiles it? Oh, how you will cry bitterly! But there will be late!
Oh, children quit tobacco, for tobacco is from the devil. Well children, I have sown wheat but the devil has sown tobacco. Here, he surpassed me for many would give bread for tobacco. Mind yourself for you will not get out of the hell if you get into it with all these that you are doing, for there will be no one to save you.
… Your Father is crying, the One who created the earth and all that can be seen on it for man, and now there is no fruit, there is no dance, there is no contentment and joy, there is no hope; all are sad. Do you know why there is no fruit? There are only dead children instead of fruit. The land and waters have been defiled because of so many things done on it. They have become worse than those who have no law that is the heathens.
… I have come down to the wheat field with the twelve apostles and I found a part of wheat and three parts of tare. Here is what the devil has done: he has sown tare and left. Who is it to be blamed: the sower or the keeper? Oh, brothers, the keeper. Stay away of all that is after Satan’s will and take care one another! Be on vigil!
… Father built a prayer house and the devil a dance hall. Father made a vine and wine; the devil made a brandy boiler, and brandy made him, for many put the grapes into it and turn into brandy. My Father has sent prophets to proclaim the seasons, and the devil has made the radio and speakers. Look, who says that brandy is not from the devil will not see God’s face.

Here is another sin: man left the bread and feeds on fire. I made myself a dove and I met a man on the way who said to another: “Give me a light, as I have not eaten bread since yesterday, but I cannot abstain from tobacco.”

… Someone keeps saying, “I do not want children any more. I have got four.” But why not just say, “I will sleep in another bed?” Look, however I will put it, is still not good for you, Christian. Intercourse between man and woman was for the birth of sons and not for lust. Oh, the animals got ahead of man. Only if my teaching would be appreciated by Christians, for I cannot say this thing to the heathens. Brother and sister, may God forbid child conceiving in your womb out of your lust that you have. Do not be upset that that I tell you, but this child will be always sick, mischievous, for someone asks, “Why the child is sick or bad?” Oh, you have not thought at Lord, Jesus Christ, but only to satisfy your desire. If death is to come at that moment, it will be hard for you. I am ashamed of this sin. Be frightened of this thing. I have commanded to unburden the women’s arms and they said that it is him that cannot do it. Brothers, whoever is a Christian let him work according to my command. Who is not a Christian, let him work according to his own will.

The greedy man at all breaks God’s building. Greed is the evil spirit. Son, Christian, fast to lose your desire and ask God for temperance of your body! Christian, you get up at night and you cannot say your prayer, but can do other bad things and the whole hours pass this way. Young man, my eyes hurt me looking at your sins. Oh, only if you were the one who keeps heaven and earth in his hand. Oh, what great pain!
… I have wonderful words, but whom shall I give them? You say that you are Christian, but you do not leave the bottle from your hand. You know that you are a driver and you do not drink as you get off your job, but from the Kingdom of God will you not be driven out? From your job you do not miss an hour for you get fired, but are you not afraid that you will be driven out from the garden of God when you miss?
… How nice it is in the city! It writes taproom, tobacconist, food store, only death it is not written, but death is written in another language. Do not rise against Me, as you have the right to say that I did not tell you that it is written death. It is not sin to buy, but buy only what you need. Blessed are those in the city if you do not touch your little clothes with this pitch.

… Lord, Jesus Christ has written from heaven on earth, “Traveler, remember death!” Whoever finds the slips let him read them! Close the pubs and latch the doors, for all these the earth will swallow up first.
… This village, banks, all will remain empty, as it did a lot of trouble to Me.
… Woe to the man who became an innkeeper. Woe to the man who sells meat in the fasting days, who sells drink in the fasting days! Sons, a man will come and say, “This prophetic word is a liar”. But I say take heed for the earth will open itself and swallow this man and many of you will fall, for he will come and say the same into his bed as My vessel through which I speak, and will speak against My work and My working and there will be great war.

Make prayers. Sons, your fathers and ancestors made prayers in songs. Daughters and sons, where are your melodies? The book of Lord, Jesus Christ says, “Sing a holy song”, for the taprooms roar with wordly songs. I met on My way a man who sang, “I got a penny and I want to drink it!”

… Open your heart, because otherwise the fire comes from Sodom and Gomorrah. For tomorrow morning you will see as your house burns and as all your cattle run away with terror with fire on their back. (See “The apocalyptic fire”, r.n.) Take a good look for all those that you see naked and talking with guys, you will not see them anymore, for these have brought the end on earth. Sons, do not let these things to enter in your houses. Do not let fire to enter in your house. Let God see the sign at your window to escape. And if in your house you let your daughters to be naked and your sons as those in Sodom, of the world, then you will not get away, you and your house and your cow and your things will burn.
… Not even when I was on the cross, was I so sad as I am today. Sons, I do not give you brandy. Brandy is from the devil. I give you grapes but drink with measure. I have given you the plum as a fig, not to boil and turn it into brandy. Little children, behave yourselves and do not spoil the things of the Lord. Woe to you plum tree for you yielded the plum and you were turned into brandy. I speak spiritually. Listen carefully and buy wisdom if you do not have it. But you buy only pigs, cows and horses. Buy wisdom too. For you worship both God and the evil spirit. You fast but at the same time you lie. You do charity but you steal as well.
Nothing on earth can save you on the day of judgment. The earthly judgment does not resemble with the heavenly one. Heavenly witnesses and lawyers do not receive lots of money, but take you on the basis of the book instead. They do not overlook anything. It is only the Blessed Virgin Mary who is merciful, for this is why the mystery is done on earth, so that she may pray for you to have her as an intercessor. That is why I say to you; do not commit any more sins!
Excerpt from God’s Word from September 14, 1973
***
My little children, why have you turned your mouth and your throat into a mouth of smoke? Do not burn your mouth anymore, Christian, for all will be forgiven, but this will not be forgiven, as no one is to save you. Pride came on all so that they may smoke, both man and women. Look carefully for what is today in the world is the destruction of this world, for what does man commit, there has not been since the age. What is today! What is today? It speedily brings the fire and judgment.

… My children, we will not stay here long and we will move to another house and there will come from far away countries, and when they will see your food (meat, r.n.) they will go out of their senses.
… Sons, live with fear. Be afraid, not of beaten, but of sin, for nothing will punish you but sin. There comes the one who puts a latch to the cigarette, little bottle and little meat, and happy is the one who will not take this.
… Sons, give Me too a joy that you will not depart from Me. I will go for I have a people much further strengthened than you, for they sing the prayers. Oh, what a people! Now I found it. I go at it too. When I come back, may I find you well not with drink and meat between your teeth. My little sheep, this is what I said when I left, “Remain calm, sing and be obedient.”

It is seen on earth man committing adultery with another man, and woman committing adultery with the finger with another woman; it is seen the woman who, when she does not fulfill her lust, screams as an animal.

All clothing and fabrics and all footwear will be thrown out in the streets. But why it will not be said. I ask you not to use anything.

This little bird entered the crows and eats what the crows eat, she eats even carrions. Now she eats carrions for she is with crows. I have seen once how a flood of crows came from abroad on earth, a large flock, and I was with Peter, My friend. And the crows found a foul carcass and they sat on and ate it. And Peter said, “Oh, Lord, such a food do these crows eat?” And I said, “So do they eat for crows are crows.” And I told him that these crows are the humankind of today, which eats what does not know, meat of humans too, dog, cat and mouse. (They are put into sausages and other “meat products,” r.n.) Then they found that foul carcass in the field, but now this carcass is in the stores. Christian, keep this hidden so that the world may not realize that you know it. And then Peter put his hand to his mouth and wept bitterly. And I said, “So will it happen with My servants too.”
I have spoken many times, “Do not eat things if you do not know where they are from. Eat only things made by yourselves!”
… Christians, what are you doing? If I were to tell you everything, all, the end will come to Me. What are you doing? Some of you eat and others mourn; some of you shiver with cold and others, with seven clothes on them too; some of you pray and some others revel and gorge themselves.

Where it is written holy day, this is written by Lord, Jesus Christ and it is put to be observed. Do not break it, if your head were at your feet, for if you break it, you will be numbered among the defiled bones; if you break it, you will be numbered among the dead; if you break it, you will be numbered among the damned; if you break it, you will hear the words: “Go away from Me into the eternal fire!” That is why I called you to Me and I told you to keep the law of God.

Why do you eat fire? It is heard from heaven that some Christians sit at the table with pagans who eat fire. It is heard from heaven when man says, “Friend, give me a light,” and his friend gives him gladly a light. He has made heaps of fire on earth. This is man’s earning on earth, fire, which soon will burn everything. Israel, if I were in your place, I would drown because of what is ahead of you, I would burn of what is in your hand. Israel, because of your iniquity which reached its peak, will perish. Run today! Israel, run away from fire, run! Seek, for you spirit is not dead yet; he is somewhere in life. Go and seek him and make peace with him. Ask him to receive and forgive you and the angel to sit at your right hand, for the angel proclaims wilderness which torments you. Israel, My people, eat manna from God, so that your spirit may be healed, your spirit and your body to be healed. Eat manna, for only with bread and meat and fire lives man today, who has estranged himself from God. Oh, holy image, why have you defiled yourself and made you abhorred of God?

… Here, today, man only when he sleeps does not eat. Otherwise, he eats and drinks all the time. Man’s gluttony of today took him in everything to judgment. Who will be the condemnatory of man? Sin and the father of sin. God measured with a good extent how to eat and how long to sleep, how long to work and how much to rejoice. Everything has its own measure, but you spoiled the right measure and turned it into a wrong one. Listen, for I speak truly; woe to the one who spoiled the right measure that God made for your future! If you had taken God’s measure, you would have not been sick, you would have not been the way you are today and you would have been in a great heaven. Make peace with God, you too sick man and healthy man as well. Make peace with God and fix your mistake. Wipe away your fault so that it might not be found out on the day of judgment, for if a group of Christians are found today living a good life on earth, all family will be repaired, the one that you have on earth and the one that you have damned.

Lord, Jesus Christ said, “Let the Christian lady not have her head uncovered, let her not show her bare leg and let her not wear high or sharp heels.” And this led to a great war between them and I. Now I say nothing. I close My mouth and swallow, for it is My turn, but later on there will be your turn, for you will swallow until you swell and crack and you will cry but I will not save you. It is hard Christian. It is hard for someone not to obey My teaching. It is hard, hard, son. This is the sufferance of My vessel through which I speak; the disobedience of My people.

I have sent heavenly word over to My people and I told, “Let the Christian come back to the food from Eden so that he may stay alive and be holy.”So I have worked with you, you people chosen from the world, and I have brought you news one by one, in an easy way, lest you find it hard. And when the way was wider, I was calling and telling you that the time was coming for the door to be narrow when you were to enter into the glory room of God, who will come before you to meet you in the great tribulation. I know as I know and not as you know. I know son, why I ask you this step. I do not want to let it be hard to you when nobody will give you anything any longer, and I want you to be well prepared and ahead of time, so that God may know you and send to you at that very moment heavenly food, the same He gave it to Israel into the wilderness, for I wanted then at all costs to clean the one who was blessed, but he wanted so badly what was on earth and fell off heaven and did not enjoy from what came from heaven. The same is now too; Christian does not enjoy to learn how to come back home and wants it as on earth, but I will make heaven on earth and as in heaven there will be on earth.
... Son, receive My proclamation and feed on those that were given from the beginning as food to My creature, for I want to put an end to the spirit of the flesh, with your worldly spirit in you. You see well that the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. Let the spirit overcome son, let your spirit be stronger than your body, for what comes out of the body, it is body, and what comes from the spirit is spirit. I have blessed as you said and I said let it be eaten, if man ate, but from the beginning it was not so. In the beginning I made the man and I breathed life without death, and man did not listen to Me and knew death and died. But I want to give him back the life without death and the youth without old age, and this is the work to which God wants to reach.

Then I said that they were indeed healthy as far as their body was concerned, but not in their soul: ‘For whoever practices harlotry and fornication is very sick in his soul. Through this sin a person’s heart hardens from day to day, becomes ever more unfeeling and merciless towards its fellowmen and in the end loves nothing but itself and the object of its lust, not for the sake of the object though, but only for the sake of satisfying its lust. Such a heart then flees God’s Word which admonishes it against its evil desire and in the end even becomes hostile to those who carry the Word of God in their heart and live accordingly. Many of you suffer from this sickness and that is why I returned to you to heal you from this very bad and fatal disease. Those of you who know that they suffer from this deadly disease should entrust themselves to Me and I shall heal them.’
In truth, I tell all of you: Those who are lascivious, unchaste and fornicators shall not enter the Kingdom of God unless they have drastically changed their most wicked way of life. For see, all other sins man commits outside his body and can, therefore, rid himself of them more easily, for what takes place externally does not cause as much damage to a person as that which takes place within him. Fornication takes place within man, damages his soul and spirit and is thus the most dangerous of all evils. Therefore, shun it above all and flee it like the plague, for the appetite for sensual pleasure is Satan’s trick. Woe betide him who has allowed Satan thus to take hold of him. He will find it extremely difficult to free himself from Satan’s claws. Unspeakable suffering and pains will be his share. Do heed all this, or else the time and the days will come which you will not like at all.’

The process of digestion in the human body
My dear friend and supreme judicial city officer, on your sharp-witted question from your mouth, I will also give you a clear and sharp-witted answer.
Look, there seems to be a clear real difference between the miracles that I perform, but basically there is none. Look, everything that you eat and take into your stomach to strengthen and enliven your body is not as dead as you think. It has 3 parts: firstly a material part that you can see and feel. And when the food is well prepared you can perceive a good taste, and already beforehand you can also inhale the nice smell with your nose. Look, this is the part that enlivens your body.
When secondly the food comes into the stomach, they are in a way cooked for a second time, and by that, 2 main elements are formed of which one of them – the biggest, to nourish the body, its limbs and muscles through the blood that comes from those 2 elements – is led to all parts of the body that need to be nourished and strengthened.
Once these 2 elements are greatly extracted in the upper stomach from what you ate, and are spread in your body, you become thirsty and you drink. By that, the food comes into the lower, little stomach that is divided into 12 parts. Here, by means of a special fermentation process, the etheric particles are separated from these little cells of the food that you took and are needed to give life to the nerves. That is why you also can call this element ‘nerve spirit’.
The extremely fine ethereal, which we will call ‘substance’, is guided by the spleen along a very hidden way to the heart, and from the heart it passes completely purified into the soul of man. And so also the soul takes of what is related to him, and by that he is nourished and strengthened in all his separate elements that correspond completely to those of the body.
This you can easily notice from the fact that the things you say and conclude are clumsy and disconnected webs of thoughts and ideas when you are hungry and thirsty, but when you first eat good, pure food and also drink pure, good wine, the things you say and conclude will in a very short time be of a much different nature. And this is because the soul is then also satiated and strengthened. If you would not take any food and drink for a long time, your thinking, speaking and concluding would be very poor.
Once the food has delivered its important part to the body, to its nerves and to its soul, the actual impure part of the matter that you took to enliven your body, is removed from the body by the 2 natural paths. However, if a person becomes a glutton in every respect and has made his belly as his idol, then the food that was taken, as well as the too much wine that was poured into the stomach, cannot be completely separated in the 2 stomachs, which I explained. By that, still many more parts, which have to enliven the body, the nerves and the soul, but which were not extracted from the food, come into the big belly and the intestines and for another part via the liver and the spleen in the urine bladder. There they will again cause fermentations out of which in the course of time will develop all kinds of sicknesses for the body, and which will make the soul lazy, dull and insensible.
However, out of those bad elements, another bad thing will often result from that. Because when the bad, still unfermented nature spirits from the atmosphere of such person will clearly notice that in his belly and his lower body already a great number of nature spirits have gathered who are related to them, they will soon penetrate the body of such person and unite themselves with those similar spirits in the body.
Once this has happened, things look already very bad for such person. Soon a number of difficult to heal or incurable diseases will seize not only his body but also his soul, and he, being made very weak and lazy in himself, cannot avoid that they pass into his sensual and suffering flesh.
To avoid that a soul becomes completely materialistic, there are no other means than the big diseases of the body itself. Such a person looses then every lust for food and tries to remove the old filth from his body by means of drugs. Here and there he will reach a kind of healing but never completely, and such person only has to be a little forgetful and he will have enlivened his former tormenting spirits again, and his second suffering condition is then usually worse than the first one.

The causes of physical sickness
I said: “For what concerns your question of yesterday, namely about the often long lasting and severe state of illness that precedes the death of the body, and also about the often very early dead of children, this is only allowed by Me to improve the people, but this does not mean that it was a decision that came from the almightiness of My will.
Look, the first men, who always stayed in the order and simplicity that was shown to them by My Spirit, did really not know about any sickness which precedes physical death. They mostly reached a very high age, became never sick, and they finally fell quietly asleep, and by that their soul did not feel any pain or fear of death.
Their food was always the same, and not today this and tomorrow something different. They mostly lived from milk, bread and good, ripe tree fruit. This kind of dish was their food for their body during their whole life, and to quench their thirst, fresh spring water was used.
For this reason the nerves of their body were always fed by the same good, harmless substances of the soul, and no bad, impure and therefore harmful soul substance could creep into the body. That is why those men always stayed strong and healthy, spiritually as well as physically.

Soul and body
Say I: “Very much so; for if you eat the bread, the material bread is soon discarded from the body by the natural process, however, the germ-life is as something spiritual immediately assimilated by the soul-life and unites to its corresponding composition with it. The more material part of the life-germ which always served it as a solid base, like the water of Moses the spirit of God, becomes nourishment of the body and finally, as properly purified, goes over to the soul and serves for the development and nourishment of the soul’s organs like its limbs, its hairs, etc. and in general for the development and nourishment of all this what you from alpha to omega would find in the human body.

Advices about nutrition.
I said: “Precisely what you just said. That which is fresh and well prepared and which goes inside through the mouth does not defile man, and will also never harm his health when taken in moderation. But man should not eat anything of the meat of suffocated animals, which is common among many gentiles, because in the blood of animals certain unfermented nature spirits are swarming which are for the physical nature of man almost like poison and will therefore also poison man’s blood, will make him sick very quickly and he will not be able to do his work.
Excerpt from The Great Gospel of John (Jakob Lorber) Vol. 10, Chapter 240.

In earlier times, when people lived much more simply than now, there were frequently those who had so-called second sight and were completely at home in both worlds. It would be possible to reach this state easily even at the present time if our nourishment were only simpler. Our present-day complicated, refined, and wrong nourishment causes people great harm. With their food, they corrupt and stupefy their nature to such a degree that the soul, like a bird in lime, becomes entangled and stuck, and it becomes impossible for her to reach the agility and activity that would enable the soul to have the possibility of free ascent and free flight.
What kind of food did ancient and simple people eat? It consisted mostly of legumes, which were simply boiled until soft with a little salt, and never eaten while hot. Also, simple bread made from whole grains, milk, and honey was also an ancient simple nourishment on which human beings reached a ripe old age and were continuously in possession of their second sight until the last breath of their lives.
Anyone may occasionally moderately consume some wine, but not so much as to feel inebriated.
… Behold, in ancient times there were many people who lived in such a simple manner, and those who had their residence in the mountains had a particularly simple mode of life. That is why they were in possession of their second sight at all times; they had, by day and by night, a fully natural association with the spirits, and allowed themselves to be taught by them in many different subjects. The spirits showed them the effects of herbs, and also where one or another precious or base metal was hidden in the mountains. These spirits also taught them how to obtain these metals and make use of them through melting and forging for all kinds of beneficial purposes.
There was rarely a house in the mountains that did not have its very own house spirits, as in other houses where there were house servants. Especially in the mountains, many wise people existed who lived with the most secret forces of Nature; particularly, they associated with the spirits with the greatest familiarity, and these forces or spirits were at their disposal at all times.

Carnal and sensual pleasures
The Lord says: “I tell you that you may be assured that most human ailments originate from their hellish inhabitants, for which they themselves have paved the way into their own flesh; many already begin the school of Hell in their youth, and these are the true children of the world. These human beings do not sense that they are accommodating foreign guests of the dirtiest kind. These spirits not only seek to place the mood and flesh of the landlord in a sensuous mode, but also work in this manner upon the soul to the extent that she begins to find pleasure in all kinds of worldly things.”
These worldly things, especially for females, are “fashion”! The charming flesh must be covered in accordance with the prevailing fashion, the hair must be curled, and the skin must be embrocated with well-scented potions. For men, there must be the ever-present hellish tobacco, and many young dandies, if they have a little money, will frequently smoke as much in one day as ten poor people spend to buy enough bread to feed themselves.
You should also know what the spiritual significance of this fashionable smoking is. These evil inhabitants make every effort to familiarize the soul, while living a physical life, with the hellish vapors and stink of tobacco. Therefore, after the soul leaves the body, she does not become aware of her stinking company immediately, nor does she sense early enough that this fine company, completely unnoticed, is leading her into the third Hell.
You may easily conclude from this why I often rallied against this highly detestable smoking of tobacco.

The most important food for man
So if man wants to stay completely healthy in body and soul, from childhood he must moderately nourish himself with pure food.
Look at Me. I am also a human being for what My body is concerned, but I eat and drink always the same food and quench My thirst with pure, good and healthy wine, but always in the right measure. And what I eat and drink now before your eyes, I already ate and drank in My childhood years, as well as most of My disciples here who were almost all fishermen and lived from fish.
When they had a surplus of fish they caught, they received money, and with that they bought the necessary clothes, bread, salt and also wine which they drank in moderation with water, and ask them if one of them was ever tormented by a sickness, except the one who I do not wish to specifically indicate to you.
I say to you: if people would have stayed with the food that was indicated by the prophet Moses, the doctors with their medicines would never have had any work to do for them. But they began to stuff their body – just like the pagans in the manner of the epicures – with hundreds of different so-called delicacies and by that, after a short time, they fell into all kinds of sicknesses.

The consequences of immorality
This is however something that is of the greatest importance in life because if white people could forsake their immorality and only have intercourse in order to awaken a fruit in the body of a virtuous woman, I tell you: There would not be a single one among you who would not at least be clairvoyant! However, as is your custom, both the man and the woman waste their best strength in their often daily secretion of life’s juices which are most refined and most closely related to the soul. There are thus no reserves which could be stored to ensure that an ever more intense light would finally build up in the soul!
This behaviour causes them to become more and more lethargic and polyp-like hedonistic beings. They are seldom capable of clear thinking and are fearful, cowardly, very materialistic, moody, capricious, selfish, envious and jealous. They only understand any spiritual matter with difficulty or not at all as their minds always drift away to the attractions of stinking flesh and they are incapable of lifting themselves to any higher spiritual level. If here and there are a few among them, who, at least during moments when the lustful thoughts of the flesh are not occupying their minds, might glance briefly upwards, then there immediately appear, like a black cloud in the sky, new sensuous thoughts to blanket the higher ground to such an extent that the soul simply forgets about it and immediately plunges back into the stinking pool of carnal desire!
... It must therefore be said to you in all truth that pimps and whores, adulterers and adulteresses and other immoral degenerates of all kinds and of both sexes will with great difficulty or not at all find a way to enter My kingdom!
If you think in your hearts that this is a little too harsh, then you should try to reform one of these men who are obsessed by the flesh! Start by drawing his attention to God’s commandments and say to him: ‘Peace be with you, the kingdom of God is nigh! Abandon your life of vice, love God above all things and your neighbour as yourself! Search for the truth and seek out the kingdom of God in the recesses of your heart. Abandon the world and its materiality, and try to bring your spirit to life within your being! Pray, search and act in accordance with God’s ordinances!’ You will have directed these words to completely deaf ears! He will laugh at you, turn his back on you and say to you: ‘Just go away, you pious fool, do not irritate me with your stupidity, otherwise you will force me to hit you in the face!’
Tell Me what else would you do to a debauched fiend like that provided you had no governmental power available to you?! If you admonish him for a second time, you can expect him to be even more offensive than the first time! What then? -
Therefore a fornicator is not just a sensuous scapegoat - in his agitated state he is also an evil person full of wild fury as well as blind and deaf to everything that is good and true in the spirit. You will more easily convert a robber than a real fornicator and adulterer.”
(The Lord:) “Now, as lechery and fornication have taken root as a true pestilence afflicting people’s souls, that’s the end of preaching the gospel! How could one preach to deaf ears and show symbols to blind eyes? However where truth is not preached and can no longer be preached, there is no other way to strengthen and free the soul and enlighten it completely. The soul only can become active, full of love and also of light by means of the truth because there is no other source for light to diffuse the soul. It is only the light of truth from the soul that can shape the sphere of influence of external life!
Where therefore lechery and fornication are deeply rooted in a nation, the people have no sphere of influence in their lives. They are sluggish, cowardly and indifferent and can not take pleasure in anything that will make them joyful or blissful. They no longer delight in a beauty or shape. Their character is based on the mute, animal desires which are driven by the flesh and they either have very little or no sense at all for anything else!
Therefore take care above all that this vice does not take hold of you and married couples should only do as much as is absolutely necessary for procreation!
A man who disturbs his wife during her pregnancy will spoil the fruit already in her womb and implants in it the spirit of licentiousness, as the same spirit which urges and incites a couple to sleep together more than is the norm, is then transmitted to the fruit in an even stronger degree.
Therefore this point must also very carefully be considered so that the act of procreation is not an expression of mutual lechery, but is driven by true love and affinity of two souls. Secondly, a woman who has conceived should not be touched but left undisturbed for at least seven weeks after having given birth!
Children who have been conceived in the correct way and have matured in their mother’s womb undisturbed, will firstly come into this world with their souls more perfected, because the soul in a perfectly developed organism can certainly much more easily care for its spiritual progress if it is not housed in a spoiled organism requiring continuously repair-work and patching. Secondly the soul itself is purer and brighter and has not been made impure by the lustful, lecherous spirits, which have often made a daily imprint on the embryo’s flesh and its soul in their repetitive activities after conception.
How easy is it for such a soul, in its most tender childhood years, to raise its mind to God. It is just as Samuel did it out of truly childlike, completely innocent love! And what marvellous basic primordial images will in this way be lightly and brightly engraved in the true depths of the heart by the young, tender brain before there is any evidence of materiality. The child will then use this light to explain to itself the correct meaning and true relationship of the later images which come to him from the material world because these pictures are so to speak implanted on a brightly illuminated background which is true to life. They are dissected into their individual components and are so very well illuminated that they can easily be inspected and understood by the soul.
With these children an external sphere of influence in life already starts to develop in their early years and soon they easily become clairvoyant while at the same time everything in My order of life becomes submissive to their will. What are the children already spoiled in the mother’s womb by comparison? I say this to you: They are scarcely more than apparently animated silhouettes of life! What is the main reason for that? It is, as I have amply demonstrated, only the consequence of lechery!
Wherever My word will be preached by you in the future, this lesson must not be omitted, since it tills the earth and the ground of life and cleanses of all thorns and thickets and thistles, from which no man has ever harvested grapes or figs. Once the ground and earth has been purified, it is a simple task to scatter the noble seed of life into the furrows which have been illuminated by the light of the mind and its life warmed by the flame of love. Not one grain will fall to earth without germinating immediately and quickly unfolding to bear a sumptuous fruit of life! However on wild, uncultivated ground, you can sow whatever you will but you will never reap a good harvest!
