proud adornment for their limbs.

And even less did God teach man to make for himself an edged garment as though he could worship God only when wearing the same. So dress yourselves simply and in keeping with your rank, valuing your coat and cloak only inasmuch as they cover the body. Whatsoever is more comes of evil and bears no good fruit.
The Great Gospel of John VI /123:17 .

Who will live and act perfectly in accordance with My teaching, will also be blessed perfectly with its blissful results. But he who will live and act imperfectly will reap accordingly.
If someone hears the Word about the Kingdom of God, that I preach, but does not comprehend it in his heart which, because of his love of the world, has been hardened like a smooth road, the evil one soon notices the exposed Word, which has not fallen into the soil, but onto the tread-down, worldly smooth outer surface of the heart, and tears out with ease what was actually sowed into the heart, but stuck to the worldly smooth outer surface. And behold, such a man is like the road onto which the seedMy Wordfell.
The Great Gospel of John I/191

Kinship Spirit
Transforming one life at a time

Verily, there is nothing greater in heaven or on earth than My children. Thus he who has become My child possesses more than all the heavens encompass. For he has within him Me, God, the eternal, infinite supremely sublime God full of might, power and holiness, as the most loving, only true Father and thus all My perfection, which is My unending love, grace, wisdom and strength. Behold, this is the father and child relationship with Me, and this I now give to you!

Healing Power as a Sign of the Lords Presence

A sign of My mighty presence with, within and among you shall also be this, that, if out of true love for your fellowmen you will in My name lay your hands upon physically sick people they shall improve, provided it serves towards the salvation of their souls. But it goes without saying that in doing that you shall always say in your heart: Lord, not mine, but Your will be done! For you cannot know if and when the healing of the body is of true benefit to a soul, and no man is granted eternal life in the body on this earth. Therefore, the laying-on of hands cannot always and in every case rid a person of his physical maladies. However, you will not commit a sin by showing every sick person the love indicated to you. And I will be the helper, provided it serves towards the salvation of that mans soul. If you hear that one or the other of your friends is ill, pray over him and lay your hands on him in spirit, and he will soon be better. But the prayer, which should only be spoken in the heart, should consist in the following few words: May Jesus, the Lord, help you, strengthen you and heal you through His grace, love and mercy! If you say this over any ever so distant sick person and, full of trust in Me, lay your hands on him in spirit, he will become better within the hour, provided it serves towards the salvation of his soul.

KINSHIP SPIRIT
Throughout history prophets have foretold of wonders and events that will come about whether good or bad. Prophets are in intricate part of our human existence and with accuracy foretell what is to come, what has been and what will happen. But did you know that prophets are so much more than foretelling events. True prophets emanate forth messages received from God. Yes, true prophesy always comes true and will stand the test of time. One such prophet was born in 1800, in Austria. His name was Jakob Lorber, he earned his income as a teacher and musician. Jakob Lorber heard from God and he wrote everything down on paper. By the time he died in 1864, 24 years after he first heard Gods Words inside him, a very unique and immense prophetic library emerged, filling 25 volumes of 500 pages each, not to mention many shorter works. His immense library makes known to us: The nature of God, the universe and its relationship with humanity, Science, the cosmos, medicine, sickness, and everything in between. Jakob Lorbers spiritual revelations are uniquely universal in nature. No matter what your background or belief you will find something that will stir your heart and mind. Kinship Spirit will give you a tiny sample from this vast divinely inspired library. If you like what you read we love to form a Kinship Spirit with you; contact us at [email protected] and we will try and put you in contact with other like minded Kinship Spirits from around the globe.

The Proper Way to Dress

God created man without a garment in His own image, and God took pleasure in the form of man because it was in His image. God also showed man how to make a garment for himself so that he might be able to protect his skin against the cold. But God did not teach the original people to make clothes so as to wear them as a

Is there a God?
The mere love for women is self-love. For he who is so steeped in it that thereby the love for the fellowman and even the love for God becomes a burden, loves himself in the woman. Therefore, do not let yourself be unduly captivated by the attractive form of a woman, for you will then perish in the weakness of the woman, whereas the woman was meant to rise in your strength to become one being with you and in you.

About God-Seeking
The question about God has at all times moved many a human heart and a clear, indisputable proof of the existence of God has been sought in many different ways. Especially in the Middle Ages, theologians and philosophers have frequently endeavoured to prove the existence and nature of God through logical, rational conclusions. Yet all these efforts have failed to lead to conclusive evidence, notwithstanding stacks of books on the subject. Toward the end of the 18th century, the great German philosopher Immanuel Kant put an end to all these speculations by proving logically that the existence of God could never be proven with conclusive certainty by means of pure reason. From the book of nature, that is, from the order and expediency of all creation, no more than evidence of a certain rather convincing probability could be derived.
Excerpt from the book: Fundamental Principal of Life I/

Unspoiled human souls have with their life-emanation an effect like suns upon the plants and animals around them.

The Gospel of the Grain of Seed

Concerning God in the universe and in the seed we read the words: Tell me, brother, have you ever experienced that a house with all its furnishings has emerged somewhere by chance? - You say: No, such a thing has never happened. - Well, if chance cannot even produce a simple house, how could it have created a complete earth upon which we find an endless number of wellcalculated miraculous things, the simplest of which shows a much too ingeniously planned arrangement and form to let one assume it could be the work of blind chance. - Look, for instance, at the wondrous arrangement of the plants, how they do not change by an atom their once-given form, the characteristics of their kind and their mechanical formation of a grain of seed thanks to which it draws from the soil only those elements through which it again multiplies and reproduces itself; not to speak of the transcendental nature of a grain of seed. For who can comprehend the divine calculation by which a single seed comprises countless myriads of its kind, and that not just in the form of the seed, but also in the form of the plant on which it ripens. Take an acorn, place it in the soil and soon a complete oak will emerge, and this tree will then for many years produce a countless number of acorns. If you plant all these acorns in the soil you will have a forest of millions of oaks producing the same fruit in an incalculable quantity. And behold, all this is

Poverty and Wealth

Although poverty is a great nuisance to people, it carries within it the germ of meekness and modesty and will, therefore, always remain with mankind. Still, the rich should not let poverty grow too much or they will be in great danger here as well as one day also in the beyond. As for the poor in your midst, you need not give them so that they, too, become rich, but must not let them suffer want. Help those whom you see and know according to their needs. To the one among you who will be a friend of the poor from the depth of his heart, I too shall be a friend and true brother temporally and eternally, and he will not have to learn inner wisdom from another wise man, but I shall give it abundantly into his heart. I shall always come to him and reveal Myself faithfully. I shall speak to his spirit, which is love, and this will fill his entire soul; and whatever he will then be speaking or writing, that will have been spoken and written by Me.
The Great Gospel of John IV/79:3...

miraculously contained in every acorn, hidden from our view and yet undeniably there. If this is so, tell Me whether a blind chance is able to arrange an acorn in such a miraculous way? No, truly - there must exist a God full of supreme might and wisdom. My mind and my intellect could not possibly ever deny this.

Children of God
A sun-elder speaks to the sun-congregation: However, looking at the other kind of beings of which there would be considerably fewer we find, according to the revelations we have received, that they are not only creatures as we are, but true children of the only God. These children have a share in Gods absolute power and their bliss is equal to the bliss of God. For they possess everything that God has, they do everything that God does, - and God does what they do! To them God is no longer a God as He is to us, a forever inaccessible One whom a mortal eye can never see. To them He is a true Father who is always among them, guides them, talks with them as I do with you, cares and provides for them so that they may not ever want for anything. When perfected, they will one day be complete masters over the whole of infinity like their almighty Father and enjoy the endless absolute power bestowed upon them by their Father.

If Adam had obeyed the positive command, humanity, that is, the complete soul of man, would not have received such a hard, heavy and frail physical body. But the disobedience to Gods law has necessarily led man to a lengthy roundabout way on which he reaches his destination with much more effort and much later. You are now thinking: Why! How can such a small, merely moral law have such a significant influence on the entire nature of man? Without this silly enjoyment, Adam would surely have been the same sensual Adam as he showed himself after partaking of the apple. And he would surely have had to die in his flesh just as now all men have to die! On the one hand you are right, but on the other hand you are wrong. The enjoyment of an apple, a healthy and ripe fruit, certainly does not cause death. Thus the apple is of little importance or none at all. However, when the eating of an apple is prohibited for an indefinite time, but the soul, aware of its free will, disregards and transgresses the law, it causes as it were a breach in its divinely pure nature which is like an open wound that can hardly ever be healed. Even when the wound scars over, through the scarring some vessels are damaged so that the life-juices of the soul cannot properly circulate through them and this always causes a disagreeable, painful pressure at the spot of the scar. And behold, this scar is called w o r l d! The soul is anxious to get rid of this scar, which hurts it through a feeling of worldly worry. But the greater the souls effort, the harder the scar becomes and the more worry it produces. In the end the healing of this old scar completely occupies the soul, that is, to get rid of its worries, and it no longer cares much about its divine spirit. And behold, that is the so-called original sin! How can such a thing be hereditary?, one may ask. Easily! What the organic soul structure has once adopted, may remain with it for thousands of years provided it is not completely restored through the spirit. - Look at the type of a people! If I presented to you today their original progenitor, you would find that a considerable likeness has been passed on to all his descendants. If their progenitor was a good and gentle man and his wife too, the entire people with only few exceptions will be more of a good and gentle disposition than a people with a choleric, proud and tyrannical progenitor. If such a slight trait of a progenitor can bodily and morally still be recognized in all his descendants, how much deeper will a trait of the earths first man be noticeable in all his descendants who at the time of procreation were impregnated with the fathers characteristics in the stream of his vital sperm.

Since you also asked Me where My Heavens may be found, I tell you: My Heavens are wherever there are godly, pure and good people and spirits. This entire visible infinite space is heaven without end and beginning, but only for good men and spirits. Wherever wicked men and spirits dwell, this space is not heaven but hell which is a judgement and eternal death, in this world represented by matter which in itself is a judgment and, thus, dead

The New Jerusalem

Said the Lord: Just wait, all of you will soon get better acquainted with this star. Thereupon the Lord opened for some moments the inner vision of all present, and the star became a world full of light. In its centre stood a New Jerusalem with twelve gates, its walls built from as many kinds of precious stones as the city had gates. Through all the gates angels passed in and out; also Moses, Elias and many other prophets could be seen. Seeing this, the Jews were amazed. Now the Lord explained to them: What you saw was My new teaching which I am giving you from the heavens, for the old one on earth is no longer good for anything. The twelve gates denote the true twelve tribes of Israel. The twelve kinds of precious stones of the city walls denote the ten commandments of Moses, and the upper two rows, consisting of diamonds and rubies, denote My two commandments of love for God and love for the fellow man. The angels passing through the gates denote all the truths and the wisdom people gain through the faithful compliance with my teaching, whereby they will attain to the true rebirth in the spirit. This is the meaning of this vision, and it is also the true Sun of Grace for anyone who hears My Word and lives according to it, and all who now and in the future - believe in Me will forever be there, live with Me, and will together with Me guide and conduct all creation in infinite space.
The Great Gospel of John VI/13:1

The Multitudes of Stars

The earth is by no means a small globe, and the sun is about a million times larger than the earth. But already the central sun of the next magnitude is ,more than a million times larger than the sun of this earth and has a greater volume than all the thousand million planetary suns, with their earths, moons and comets taken together, which revolve with great velocity in, for you, inconceivably extensive paths around such a central sun. And yet, especially the most distant ones need often a million earth years to just once complete their path and arrive again at the original spot. Such a group of celestial bodies is called a solar region or galaxy. Now there is another type of central suns around which revolve in endlessly greater paths entire solar regions/galaxies with their central suns. The most distant ones already need an eon of earth-years to orbit but ones around this central sun. Such a second central sun, around which whole solar regions with their suns revolve, we shall call, including their millions of solar regions, a solar universe or super galaxy. ~~~ The third central sun is ten million times larger than the solar universes that revolve around it, this is a super super galaxy. Yet this supper super galaxy still has a gigantic primordial central sun which is referred to as a shell globe.
The Great Gospel of John VI/245

Nature Spirits
When a soul, assembled from matter through pure spiritual forces has spiritually matured in its body - be it that of a mineral, plant or animal - and become capable of ascending to a higher form of life, its controlling spirit from the spirit world arranges for it to be relieved of its no longer useful material body, I.e., its spirit departs from the material body together with the soul particles it has attracted so that it may further enrich and perfect its soul in a higher life-form.
The Great Gospel of John VI/133

Besides, everyone has been assigned a guardian angel anyway who has to guide him from birth to the grave. Such a guardian angel always influences a persons conscience and only begins to keep farther and farther away from his ward when the latter, guided by his self-love, has voluntarily relinquished all faith and all love for his neighbour.
The Great Gospel of John 1/192:14

What is the truth of a thing? Look and listen! The spiritual part of a thing is the truth! As long as that has not been ascertained, then everything resembles a deaf empty nut which does not contain anything.
The Fly 11:20,21

Spiritual Rebirth
Behold, a sunrise is very similar to mans spiritual morning of life and the rise of the spiritual sun of the heavens in his soul. When man hears the Word of God it begins to dawn in his soul. If he believes in the word he has heard, it becomes already brighter within him. He begins to experience an ever-growing joy in the teaching and becomes active according to it. Then his acts, like those lovely little morning clouds, assume the rosy tint of love and he receives more and www.LorberPublications.ca / [email protected] more light. Through such joy in the good and true out of God man gains an ever clearer knowledge of God, and his heart becomes aglow with the greatest love for God, which can be fully compared to this now already radiantly bright rosy dawn. His knowledge of God, and thereby also of himself and his great destiny, keeps growing like the here already very bright dawn through which all the beautiful earthly regions all around are becoming clearly recognizable. But it still keeps growing ever brighter. The little clouds closest to the rising sun - like the acts out of pure love for God, become brilliantly shining gold. Then there is a glow in the east and, behold, the sun itself rises in a glory of light and majesty above the horizon; and just as the new day is reborn out of the night through the power of the suns light, so man is reborn through the power of the Word of God and through the ever-growing love for God and the fellow man. Therein consists the spiritual rebirth of man, namely, that his knowledge of God keeps growing and, as a result, also his love. Once he has kindled a proper glow in his heart, Gods Spirit rises in man like the morning sun, and it has become fully day within him. However, this is not like a day on this earth that ends in the evening, but it is an eternal day of life and the complete rebirth of the Spirit of God in the human soul. In truth, I tell you: He in whose soul such a day has dawned will no longer see, feel or taste death in all eternity; and when he leaves his body he will be like a prisoner who has been pardoned and whose jailer opens the door of the prison and says to him with a friendly mien: Rise, for you are free! Here, put on the garment of honour, leave the prison and walk as a free man before the one who has shown mercy to you! Just as a prisoner will be overjoyed at this, thus, and even more so, will a person who is reborn in the spirit rejoice when My angel will come to him and say: Immortal brother, arise, put on the light-garment of honour in God, come and from now on walk freely and independently in the abundance of eternal life in the presence of God.
The Great Gospel of John VII/1:2-7; V/184: 3-4

Age of Technology
There will come a time when men will determine the life-energy of the water vapours in terms of degrees and harness them, as the Arabs do their horses. And use them for the hardest imaginable labour. They will harness the life-energy hidden in the water to the heaviest carriages, thereby moving them with the speed of an arrow. They will also harness the life-energy of the water to the great ships, and it will drive them more swiftly than a gale over the waves; yes, they will even defy any gale and run through its fierce centre without suffering any mentionable damage. Only rocks and sandbanks will still be a threat to these fast navigators. But soon after that time things will begin to look very grim for the people on earth. The earth will become more barren, very high cost of living, wars and famine will occur, the fire of love will cease to glow and grow cold and then the final judgment of fire will come over the earth. The Great Gospel of John III/33:2-5

I will give you a measure by which you and everybody shall know what your self love should be like, your love of your fellowman as well as your love of God. Take the number 666, which in Good or bad proportions shows a perfect human or a perfect devil! Divide a persons love evenly into 666 parts; of that give God 600, your neighbour 60 and yourself 6, then you are a perfect human! However, if you want to be a perfect devil, give God 6, your neighbour 60 and yourself 600!
The Great Gospel of John II/77

Faith in Me is, indeed, a living light from the heavens, but only through works of love.

The hearts mind is developed through true love, gentleness and patience.

The 12 HOURS
[132 pages, 19.3x13 cm]

In 1841 Jakob Lorber received the true meaning of the parable of the prodigal son through the inner voice of Jesus Christ. This was not the first nor was it the last dictation this humble Christian prophet from Graz, Austria recorded Word for Word on paper. His prophetic writings cover every possible subject known to humanity; he took notations of everything he heard near his heart. In this book The 12 Hours the reader will be taken on a morally, politicalhistorical journey of the famous Biblical parable mentioned in Luke 15:1132. The prodigal son is by far one of the best-known parables Jesus told in the New Testament. This story is all about a deep yearning of homecoming to our true spiritual Father; a Father Who stands at the gate waiting for his prodigal child to come back home. This book is about a Father Who is longing to restore the entire creation and wishes to reveal the fundamental cause, meaning and goal of the entire Bible! Hour for hour will be painfully truthful, until the very end when the reader must look deep within himself. He must examine his own prodigal heart and place in life. This worldly life of ours, no matter what creed, colour, gender, social or ethnic background, religion or status you belong to, will pass away, however, The 12 Hours will - no doubt motivate you to make the right decision. ~~~ 7
