Given by Gabriele, the prophetess
and messenger of God for our time.
Dear reader, particularly during the present time, the topic “God in Us” is a provocation for many people. When you read and hear in the media all that is going on in this world, the word “God” recedes more and more into the background, not to mention “God in Us.” We hear about the disasters in this world and how people act, how they treat those like them and how they live in animosity with those who don’t share their basic attitudes. The earth with its animals and plants is suffering under the fraudulent labeling “Christian” and under the egoism of the exploiters. Each one has his own argument for plundering the earth, torturing and killing the animals and destroying nature. All this certainly has nothing to do with God and with Jesus of Nazareth.
And now, someone comes who claims: God in us!
Recently, many, very many people are leaving the church institutions. We hear ever more about the debaucheries of the caste of priests, about the hypocrisy, about the lies and not lastly, about the perversions and excesses that we don’t even want to call by name, unless the talk is about the dregs of mankind.
The number of people leaving the church is increasing. Many are disappointed by their church, in which they believed and where they felt at home, in the hope of finding God. Others shake their heads and say: “There is no God! If there were one, where is He, then?”
The church leaders have lost their credibility and the political parties babble about the common good and social services. When we look deeper, we see it’s mostly about dividends, and one’s own well-being. The so-called “C” (for Christian) government of Germany rules the third largest exporter of weapons in the world, which, however, calls itself “Christian.”
As long as the government helps the caste of priests, subsidizing it in Germany with about 14 billion Euros annually, not much will change, because the denominational person helping the church stay in power and the denominational rider, the church, controlling the reins of the horse, the government, don’t feel it is at all necessary to change their conduct toward God and his fellowman. Besides that, churches and cathedrals are restored with millions and millions that ultimately have to be raised by the state – that is, by us, the citizens. And that, even though in the priests’ Bible, which the caste of priests insists on and literally sells to its faithful as the absolute truth, we can essentially read: “God, who created the world and everything in it, He, the Lord over heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands.”
We citizens are burdened with taxes and are fleeced more and more, like a rooster that undergoes the torment of castration, turning into a capon that then lands on Pope Benedict’s plate as a Christmas roast, as was depicted in the media around Christmas time several years ago.
What did Jesus, the Christ, say? “All who take up the sword will perish by the sword.” This world demonstrates what human beings are like: war, murder, manslaughter, hunger, suffering, illness, epidemics, animal torture without end. And then one asks: “Where is God?”
And still another says: “I believed the fairytale about God for a while, but I don’t believe it anymore. There is no God.”
What should God do with the all-too-human pile of shards? Should He smash it completely? God doesn’t have to do that, we’re already doing it. For we have made this world and the earth into what it is, and not God.
Dear readers, many of you are a good analyst. May I ask a good analyst and all those who are now shaking their head: Do you have herd instincts and are you a yes-man? Are you a person who believes what people lead others to believe, even when this and that one talks about God? Are you the herd animal that needs a church made of stone with tradition, denomination and thus, dogmatic priests? Or are you a free spirit who has learned to weigh and measure things and doesn’t believe everyone who wants to convince him of something, be it the promise that God would be here or there, or even that the chaos of this world is the “mystery” of God?
I am only a human being, just as we are all human beings. Anyone who promises something to someone should also be able to prove it. No person can promise another that he will find God through his tips and instructions. I can’t do that, either. God cannot be found here and there. God is the life in us, in each one of us.
According to our inner disposition, we are social people. No one should be alone, for it is said: “It is not good that man should be alone.” And not to run after another person means to find God in oneself, because only from this does a genuine, true sense of community develop. And so, to find God means to first find yourself, in the awareness of what Jesus, the Christ, taught people. Among other things, He taught us: “I, Christ, Am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
This also applies to me. I do not bind myself to any human being, not even when he promises me many things and wants to guide me here and there to find God.
Even when a person has found God in his innermost being, he cannot prove this to anyone else. A good role model can be an indication but not proof. Consequently, my words are not binding. They are based on the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, and particularly on His promise: “I am the way, the truth and the life.” My desire was and is to find God myself. I was able to find Him in myself, because I did not bind myself to any person, but oriented myself to the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, and I still do this.
In the great work of revelation “This Is My Word,” we read that Jesus of Nazareth was already confronted by His contemporaries with questions about God. There it says:
And some who were full of doubt came to Jesus, saying, “You told us that our life and being are from God, but we have never seen God, nor do we know of any God. Can You show us the One whom You call the Father and the only God? We do not know whether there is a God.”
Jesus answered them, saying, “Hear this parable about the fishes. The fishes of a river spoke with one another and said: They tell us that our life and being comes from water, but we have never seen water, we do not know what it is. Then some of them, who were wiser than the others, said: We have heard that a wise and learned fish who knows all things lives in the sea. Let us go to him and ask him to show us the water.
And so, some of them set out to search for the great and wise fish, and they finally came to the sea where the fish lived, and they asked him.
And when he heard them, he said to them: Oh, you foolish fish that you do not think. Yet wise are the few of you who seek. You live and move in water and have your existence in the water; you have come from the water and you will return to the water. You live in the water, but you do not know it. In the same way, you live in God and yet you ask Me: Show us God. God is in all things and everything is in God.”
As already mentioned, the inner predisposition of man is communality, for, as it is said: It is not good that man is alone. However, if we link with the One, who in His teachings made, and makes, us aware again and again that He is the way, the truth and the life, Christ, and if we follow His teachings step by step, then we find our way to those people who think and live similarly. But we should not bind ourselves to them, either.
If we explore the statement “God in us,” the objection might come up: “What a statement. That’s presumptuous, when you look at present-day society.” But truthfully, it is written in many priests’ Bibles “God does not dwell in houses made with hands.” That brings up the question: Where, then, does God live if not in stone churches?
Many people believe that a soul lives in them. We could philosophize about whether this is true or not. But let us assume as fact that we are vivified by a finer-material body, which is not from this world. Let us assume that deep in the very basis of our soul, in this finer substance, is the life, the breath, GOD, whom we experience in our breathing.
We should not see the fact of “life” as exclusively limited to the earthly shell, the human being, who at some point exhales and no longer brings his breath back again by inhaling. Life is eternity, and we call eternity “God” or “Eternal One,” or “eternal existence,” or “eternal Being.”
Just think of nature. Spring brings more light, more sun, and the part of the earth that has turned toward the sun comes to life again. Nature turns green and starts to blossom. And how is it with us? If we turn toward the light, God in us, our soul will become more light-filled; we will live more consciously, we will become freer and happier. We become honest, open and straightforward and just toward our fellowman, because we have found ourselves in God, the life, and we are true to ourselves.
Let’s go back to our topic: God in us, God in you, God in me – and that each one of us is the temple of God and God dwells in us. And so, the immortal life, the breath of God, is in the very basis of our soul. Life streams through our soul. It streams into our cell body and we breathe the life. Our heart beats, because it receives the life from the all-encompassing life, God.
Jesus of Nazareth did not teach us church traditions. Jesus did not teach us to go into temples made of stone. Jesus taught us, and He said this to the priests back then: “But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, Christ.”
So we could ask: Where is the teacher? It is Christ, the resurrection and the life in us. The Christ of God is thus the Christ of God in us. In God, He is the law of love and freedom. And so, you, like all human beings, are free, either to believe or not to believe; free to bind yourselves or to become free.
I don’t want to bind you to anything or even to lead you to believe something. Nor do I want to prescribe how you should act. I simply want to say to you: Try out what I have also tried out, along with many of my fellowmen. They, as I, have found their way to God in themselves, thus becoming people with whom one can live.
Jesus of Nazareth taught us to go into a quiet chamber and to seek out God in the stillness. He did not teach us to go into stone churches. What can we do to have a quiet chamber?
As an example, in my apartment I’ve set up a small prayer corner, with a small table, a chair, a candle. In time, the desire grew in me to withdraw to pray or to attune myself via music, in order to become quiet, and then to direct several deep and profound prayers to within.
Try it out! Set up a prayer corner! Through music and prayer, let this become a place that exerts a force of attraction on you. And become aware again and again that God, our heavenly Father, loves you, that He loves all of us. He wants us to come to Him, for in the very basis of our souls we are all children of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is our true, our everlasting homeland, eternally.
Each one is free to believe or not that as a human being he is merely a pilgrim, who bears eternity within himself. For its existence in this world, our soul has temporarily taken on a human body. When the human body passes on, then the soul goes on its way, and it continues on this path until it has found its way within again, to its Creator, to God, its Father, and is one with Him, as Jesus said of Himself: “I and My Father are one.”
The inner unity in God, our eternal Father, joins us as brothers and sisters, who belong to the Kingdom of God. It is solely the eternal homeland in God, our Father, that unites us.
Let’s get back to the quiet chamber. You have realized that I do not want to lead you into any kind of external society, nor into an external community. My sole desire is to encourage you to find yourself with the question: Who are you, we, really?
If you want to, find your way to yourself and analyze what it means that God is always present. He is in nature. He is the life; He is the light in every animal, in every stone, in every mighty tree. God is in the very basis of your soul. God is with you and by you.
Once you get used to the quiet chamber, you will be attracted again and again to this place – be it only a quiet corner in a room. Keep your small place, which was set up to help you collect yourself and go within, free of bad, all-too-human thoughts. Withdraw to this familiar corner only when you want to listen to music and go into prayer.
And when you pray, pray deeply into the very basis of your soul, that is, to within, for you, yourself, are the temple of God and God dwells in you.
These explanations should not be regarded as “a teaching hour.” What I want is to make a case for God, not for myself, not for a traditional community, but solely for God. I want to give my fellowmen an understanding of God.
I have found God, the life, deep in my soul and I know that He loves all of us. As our eternal Father, He beheld us in His heart and created us.
I can talk about this – but I cannot prove it to anyone. I know it – and cannot prove it. You, we, all live eternally, because God is eternal. He, God, our heavenly Father, created us as pure, fine-material beings.
At some point, our body will pass away, but His call holds true, for instance, through the word of the Christ of God, which says: “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
Where should we go then, when the Spirit of God, the Christ of God, dwells in the very basis of our soul? To Him, who dwells in us.
Once more, I return briefly to the quiet chamber. If you should set up a quiet niche, a quiet prayer corner, light a candle and pray, perhaps attuning yourself with harmonious music, so that you find yourself, and then, you will very soon sense that you are not alone. Something is in you, which speaks to you, which encourages you, which wants to lead and guide you.
At some point, the question comes up in you, in all of us: What else could I, what else could we, do to grow closer to God, in order to change our whole attitude, our whole lifestyle, toward the positive? When this heart’s desire reverberates in us, we will remember the divine gifts that were already given to us as guidance. Through Moses, we human beings received the Ten Commandments from God, our heavenly Father, and from Jesus, the Christ, the Sermon on the Mount.
A good analytical mind grasps the meaning of the commandments of God and the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus and knows that the New Era is announced. It is coming! Many a one wants to become a new person, a person of freedom, a person in the Spirit of God, who cherishes nature, who loves it, and who meets his neighbor in peace with the power of God. These are the people of the New Era, of the coming generations.
Will you join us? You do not need an external leader; you have the inner leader, the Christ of God, in you. He is in each one of us.
Try it out, to find yourself, in order to grow closer to the true life. No one may force you into spiritual activity. In the spirit of truth, in God, you, all of us, are free people!
But an avowal may be made, and I want to do this now:
I love God, our heavenly Father, because I was privileged to experience that He loves all of us. We human beings do not need any church denominations, any church traditions. We do not need any priests, any intermediaries. We have something in us, namely, a treasure, an unimaginably valuable treasure.
We are called upon by Jesus, the Christ, to unearth this treasure in us, because Jesus taught us: “I Am the way, the truth and the life.” And He called upon us: “Follow Me.”
I have undertaken to grow closer to the inner treasure and I do not speak from theory. I speak out of my own experience and I know that you, all of us, can unearth the treasure.
I am glad when you set out to turn to this unique treasure.
I am glad when, in the awareness of the presence of God, you find the inner peace.
I am glad when you realize that you are not alone, that something is in you that knocks and knocks and breathes and flows – it is the Spirit; it is the truth; it is the life in you, in all of us.
I wish for you the quiet chamber.
I wish for you good and profound prayers.
I wish for you that you grow in freedom.
I wish for you the life in and with nature.
I wish for you the communication with the innermost being in you, in our fellowman.
In this awareness: a warm, greetings in God and God with us!
