THE OBJECTION THAT THE WORD

OF GOD IS CONCLUDED

A selection of revelations of God,

received by Bertha Dudde in accordance with the promise of
John 14:21
 INTRODUCTION

This booklet contains a small selection out of the 9030

revelations received from the LORD by one of HIS scribes
and handmaids, Bertha Dudde.

Bertha Dudde was born in Liegnitz, Germany. She worked as

a seamstress to help support her parents and seven brothers
and sisters and was therefore prevented from continuing her
education beyond grammar school. Coming from mixed
Roman Catholic and Protestant parentage she received little
religious education and knew nothing about the Bible
although there was a deep desire for the Truth in her heart.

Often when she prayed the Lord's prayer she would beseech
the Lord to allow her to find His Kingdom. In 1937, at the age
of 47 she began receiving revelations from the Lord through
the "Inner Word". After sincere prayer and quiet devotion the
Lord spoke to her inner being and she wrote down word for
word what she heard. This continued almost daily until her
death in 1965.

The publication of these messages began in Germany shortly

after her passing away and in 1978 has begun to be translated
into English.

Publication and translation is sponsored by "friends" of this

New Revelation and is not supported by or associated with
any religious denomination or sect. They are offered with the
prayer that the Holy Spirit will enable the reader to discern the
Truth of this New Word from the Lord in accordance with His
promise of John 14:21.

THE OBJECTION THAT THE WORD

OF GOD IS CONCLUDED.

It is an exceedingly wrong assumption that the Word of God is

to be kept closed and that every revelation is to be rejected as a
concoction of the forces of evil. Both good and evil powers try
to exercise their influence on the people. All the forces of
good perform the will of God, but the evil forces work against
the Divine.

"Un-knowing" powers, beings from the middle kingdom

cannot transmit any good thoughts to you because they are in
their darkened state, still under the power of God' s opponent,
thus more susceptible to his influence than to the influence of
Light-beings. But as soon as these ignorant spirits realize their
blindness and yield themselves to the Light-beings, submitting
to the Divine Will, from then on they pass on only what they
have received from these Light-beings.

This must first be clarified to disprove that the powers of the

beyond arbitrary, express themselves where people are given
Divine revelations. The LORD Himself taught on Earth and
brought this word to men. It was His Will that this Word was
written down for the succeeding generation to preserve. He
has, however, proclaimed to mankind by His Spirit working
through His Word, giving them, as it were, the promise to stay
with them in His Word through all Eternity. He Himself has
said: I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth.

There are many places in the Book of Books from which you
can conclude that God will always speak to His people, but
there is not one statement of the LORD from which you can
4
conclude that His Word is closed off. It must be considered
that His Word shall certainly remain unchanged, as shall the
gospel that He Himself brought to mankind. Not one word is
to be added, not one word to be taken away, so that the
meaning of His Word could be changed. But this does not
mean that His Word or His revelations are concluded.

Nothing should be changed, not one word added to the words

the LORD once spoke on Earth. But human wisdom has
attempted to change and improve them. The Word of God is
often distorted by people of good intention trying to make it
more understandable. This has led to even the work of His
Spirit, proclaimed by Him, being less understood and therefore
not recognized. The knowledge is completely lost to men, that
God will speak to people again and again and that all people
on Earth must try to listen to His Word given directly.

Instead however men draw back from the expression of the

Divine Will. God Himself comes close to people in His Word,
but they no longer recognize Him. His written word is no
longer alive in people. They still read the Word all right but
they no longer grasp the meaning. A spiritual drought has set
in because the well of Living water has been stopped by the
people themselves.

But God has taken pity on men. So He has allowed a stream of

Living Water to break forth from the rock. He lets streams of
Living Water flow from the innermost being of those who
long for His refreshing drink and open their hearts and ears to
receive His Divine Word. With this the Holy Scriptures are
fulfilled. However, if He no longer revealed Himself, and if
He no longer was close to the people, or among them, then the
Word of the Lord through His Earthly walk would have been
in vain.
5
So man is not justified to consider the working of God as
closed. If he does this he only demonstrates his ignorance or
in- comprehension concerning the written Word.

Because of the innumerable references to the working of the

Divine Spirit, which he would thereby make invalid he reveals
that he really does not grasp the meaning. Such a one belongs
to those who err and puts on their error to other people. He
will then not recognize the pure Truth and therefore also
withhold it from his fellowmen.

But God' s Love is unlimited always giving and never

exhausting. God will therefore express Himself through His
Love giving His Love so that everyone who abides in Love
themselves may receive it. God is Love and God is the Word.
Whoever desires the Love of God receives His Word, and
receives it through all Eternity…. Amen

B.D. 6592 July 10, 1956

EXPLANATION FOR THIS UNUSUAL GIFT OF

GRACE

It is an undeserved gift of Grace when I speak to men directly,

because seldom do people on Earth acquire the degree of
maturity, which brings them so near to Me that I can touch
them with My Love-rays. Therefore in this last time before the
end I am speaking to men in such a manner that they can
recognize Me even though it may not be in a direct manner.

To do this I require a vessel who will allow My direct working

in himself, who wants to devote himself to Me. I will use such
dedication in an unusual way because people need help
urgently. I may well choose such a vessel to become an
6
instrument for Me, if he has reached a certain degree of
maturity, but even a degree of maturity would not be sufficient
to receive My direct rays of Light. Only a true child of God
can receive My revelations, one who leaves this Earth
completely spiritualized to be received by Me as My child,
with all rights of a reinstated child, with whom I can commune
as a Father with a child.

You must understand that such a degree of maturity is required

for My Love-rays to touch a being directly, and from there be
further led out to wherever there is a desire for Light. That is
why I call it an undeserved gift of Grace when I use a human
vessel which does not have such a high degree of maturity to
lead My Love-rays directly to the people. In view of the
nearing end the flow of Grace must increase to help mankind
for what otherwise would be impossible, can only be achieved
with an unusual supply of power.

I accept therefore even the slightest earnest desire to serve Me,

which permits the working of My Spirit in man.
I have promised that I will send you the Comforter, The Spirit
of the Truth. He will guide you in all Truth and bring to your
remembrance all that I have told you.

So My Spirit works in each one who, through Love, has

become a vessel for My Spirit. He will be led to the right
knowledge, enlightening his thoughts, and giving him a true
insight to remain in the Truth.

It will be the Light in him which enables him to transmit his

knowledge to his fellowmen. He will be filled with My Spirit
and can therefore truly speak of My presence.

7
This working of My Spirit in men requires a certain degree of
Love which everyone with good will can reach while still on
Earth. But this degree of Love can increase and can lead one to
such a close union with Me that I can touch My child with My
complete glow of Love, so that he can "hear" My voice in his
inner being in indescribable happiness becoming so filled with
My Love-force that he is compelled to proclaim My Word
even further…. Amen

B.D. 8054 Dec. 3, 1961

IS THE BIBLE CLOSED OFF?

How erroneous it is of you to assume that with the Scriptures -

the book of the fathers- My Word is closed off; that I have set
Myself a limit to the extent that I shall henceforth not express,
that I no longer speak to men.

Who gives you the authority for such an assumption? Who

would prevent Me, as the Father, from speaking to My children
time and again? Who gives you the authority to set up the
assertion that the Bible alone suffices, that you men have need
of no additional Word?

You, who reject every kind of New Revelation, you still find
yourselves in the deepest spiritual darkness! And in this
darkness you will not understand the Bible either - and thus also
the latter is for you still a closed book! Because you do not
understand the spiritual sense of the letters, otherwise you
would find references to My perpetual Revelation also in this
book - and the working of My Spirit would be intelligible to
you. But so long as you are of an unawakened spirit yourselves,
you cannot grasp the sense of the Word which I Myself spoke to
My disciples when I walked the earth.
8
How impoverished you men would be if you had to confine
yourselves to a book, the unaltered contents of which you are no
longer able to verify for yourselves; if the pure Truth from
above were not constantly offered to you, by which you can set
a gauge as to whether you move within Truth. You who want to
validate only this book, you have not penetrated the "Word"
yourselves; you have read it with intellect only but not allowed
the spirit within you to speak, which teaches you and explains to
you the sense of the word. You adhere to the letter and do not
understand its spiritual sense!

And when I Myself want to lead you into Truth, you deny My
Word - and suspect My servants of dealing with My adversary.
You dispute My Will and Power to speak with those who offer
Me their service in full faith - and who are therefore able to
perceive My voice within themselves. And you stubbornly
persist with your opinion that My Word is closed off with the
Scriptures, which you acknowledge as the only book through
which I have revealed Myself. And this is your loss!

Because by your rejection of My Word from above you only

prove: That you are dead Christians! Because a living
Christianity is a "working in love" - and this would bring you
illumination of the spirit - and therewith an understanding for
My unusual assistance in times of spiritual want. Then you
would also understand the words of the Bible, the promises
which I Myself gave you, indicating that I manifest Myself to
those who keep My Commandments (John, 14:21). How do you
intend then to construe these My promises, if you deny all New
Revelation? Do you want to give the lie to Myself when I
announce to you "My Comforter that shall lead you into all
Truth?" (John, 14:26). How do you understand these words,
which must be fulfilled, because every promise which I made to
men during My passage on earth fulfils itself. And why do you
9
not want to believe? Because you are of an overbearing spirit.
Because you lack inner animation, and an awakening of the
spirit, and therefore you believe yourselves capable of
determining Me and My Work, to limit it as it suits you.

But you err - notwithstanding that you deem yourselves to have,

through study, attained to a knowledge which entitles you to a
rejection of My Word from above, you are of an overbearing
spirit, and can therefore never receive a revelation from Me.
Because only the humble receive the gift of My Grace, and this
humility you lack. And that is why you still walk in darkness -
and you will not break through it - because you avoid light,
which could present you with cognition, if you were desirous of
stepping into its gleam.

My love for My beings never ceases, and hence I shall never

miss an opportunity to address you men, where the pre-
conditions are present. And My Word shall always resound to
those who are of goodwill, to whom I, as the Father, can speak
as to children who animatedly believe in Me. And to them I
shall manifest Myself, and Mine will also recognise My voice.
Because I can be present with them and reveal Myself - as I
have promised…. Amen

B.D. 8192 June 6, 1962

PROMISE TO SEND THE COMFORTER, THE SPIRIT

OF TRUTH
THE STARTING OF THE GIVEN MESSAGES
25 YEARS AGO. (June 15, 1937)

I have given you the promise to send the Comforter, the Spirit
of Truth. I have now done this by bringing you the pure Truth
through an earthly child which was devoted to Me, whom I
10
trusted with the mission of bringing this Truth to those who
are willing to accept it. I have ignited a light for you which
cannot be hidden under a bushel, but must become a shining
light in the night, enveloping the whole Earth, for this
darkness can only be overcome by a Light from above.

I have brought My Word to you. I Myself have spoken to you.

I came to you in Word through My messenger. But the
receiver of My Word hears it from Myself, he is in such close
contact with Me that I can speak to him directly, manifesting
proof of My presence. My Word is addressed to him and to all
of you, speaking in him and truly revealing the deepest secrets
that lead you into the Truth, and a knowledge which agrees
with the Truth, because it is Myself who speaks to you, and
from Me only pure Truth can be revealed.

Thus you have received from Me a gift of immeasurable value.

You can truly call yourself blessed that I have spoken to you,
because no one can take from you what I have given and
which you accepted willingly. Your soul has received
something very precious which is nourishment helping you to
mature so that you may achieve the goal of your earthly life,
namely: union with Me your God and Creator, your Eternal
Father.

Again and again the receiver of My Word can in turn give this
gift of Grace to his fellowmen, more and more he will receive
this means of Grace of such enormous consequences, to help
mankind to achieve their goal on Earth, draw closer to Me and
continually receive strength from Me for the perfecting of their
souls

Therefore I will not stop the flow of living water from the
spring I have opened up. Because men need a constant supply
11
of power. You must continually keep close to the source to
refresh yourself, to draw from it and revive yourself with the
flow of power, and drink constantly, from that living water
which flows to you from the well of My inexhaustible Love
and Mercy enduring forever.

I will never let My well of Grace run dry. I will always come
to My child who yields his will to Me and who wants to be
spoken to only by Me.

As long as he is active for Me, I will supply him continually

with power. For the child who in free will places himself
completely in My Hand, I can take over the leading and
supplying of all his needs, both spiritual and physical. I alone
know how important this mission is, and what result it will
have for innumerable souls who are in spiritual need, and that
this mission is redemptive work of immeasurable value.

It is a unique gift that I can speak to you through such a

devoted child who be- longs to Me in free will, and believes
My Word, allowing himself to be led into the Truth and giving
it to people who urgently need Light in order to find their way
out of spiritual darkness.

People can receive a great blessing if they accept this Light,

and the receiver as well becomes closer to My heart. He
accepted My Words in faith and in doing so increased his own
inner Light, gaining an insight into the ruling and working of
My Eternal plan of Salvation, receiving understanding about
My work of redemption in JESUS CHRIST. My child can
only pass this clarity on to his fellowmen who like him afore
time, walked in darkness unable to grasp My work of
redemption through JESUS CHRIST as a gift of Grace. I could
bring this Truth to many people but only as they desire it. And
12
all who accept My Word will never forget it and will be led to
the right way. But this path can only be found by people who
do not close themselves to My Word when it is offered to
them as a gift of their Father Who wants to help His children
to find their way back to Him.

My blessing will continually be with you when you submit

yourself to Me and let Me speak directly to you. Because the
need of the world is great, it is obvious that mankind needs My
help through My direct speaking to them. Therefore, you My
useful servants on Earth, will receive the help you need, I will
supply you continually with strength physically and
spiritually, so that you can work for Me and My Kingdom in
My Name. Then you work in My stead, and make it possible
for Me to speak to My children who are in need and want to
hear the voice of their Father. They must receive help which I
alone can and will give, because I long for their return to the
house of their Father and therefore will do everything to help
them…. Amen

B.D. 8284 September 26, 1962

PROMISES THAT CONCERN DIVINE REVELATIONS

“I will reveal Myself to you”, thus runs My promise which

also you, who would like to disavow such revelations, cannot
deny. But how can I reveal Myself to you if you do not believe
that My Word is the truth which I Myself spoke to you as I
walked on earth?!

I want to reveal Myself to you, and My sole condition is that

you love Me and keep My commandments. However, you
disregard My promise, otherwise you would faithfully listen
and welcome My revelation.
13
You learn on the Scriptures, the book of books, but do not
believe what is written there, for it contains many more
promises announcing My working through the Spirit through
which I want to reveal Myself.

How then do you interpret My Words:

"I shall send you the Comforter"...

"I shall be with you unto the end of the world"?

And the words:

"From your loins shall flow streams of living water"? And,

"I will pour out My Spirit over all flesh"?

Why do you not believe that the Father keeps talking to his
children?

Why do you limit My activity to a measure that is admissible

to `you'?

You should realise that with rational thinking you can do a

lot of harm if you ignore your heart - if you do not allow your
heart to speak and be a much better teacher for you.

You want to thwart My creatures' direct contact with Me and

want to think of it as impossible that I Myself speak to My
children, although I also said: "My sheep know My voice".

Therefore, I must speak to them, I am doing it and shall be

doing it through all eternity.

14
Only what issues from My mouth is the pure truth, therefore,
you must accept also as truth that which is written is the
Scriptures and which you call my Word.

I have to keep speaking to men in view of the fact that as a

result of your imperfection you keep distorting or
misinterpreting My pure Word.

Therefore, aspire first after the awakening of your spirit,

endeavour to live My gospel of love which I taught on earth
and then your thinking will become enlightened and clear, and
you will desire that I reveal Myself to you.

You will be asking for evidence of My presence and you shall,

indeed, receive it, for your faith will have become alive and a
living contact with Me will have been established. What
previously you were unable to believe will now be quite
obvious to you, namely, that the Eternal Father, your God and
Creator reveals Himself to His creatures because He wants to
be known and loved by them. That is why He makes Himself
known and `reveals' Himself as a God of Love, Wisdom and
Might.

And if you people earnestly wish to come closer to this

supremely perfect being, He will grant you enlightenment so
that you need no longer walk in darkness as a consequence of
your apostasy from Me. Even if you read the Scriptures
eagerly, if you learned by heart every letter, it is only your
intellect that obtains a knowledge which is of little use for
your soul. Only an awakened spirit will attain complete
enlightenment, i.e., the adjustment of your whole being
towards love; the fulfilment of My divine commandments of
love alone can give you enlightened knowledge. Then will you
also apprehend the Book of books correctly in its spiritual
15
meaning, whilst until you have achieved this, it will remain for
you nothing but “a knowledge of the letter”, and it is only “the
Spirit that gives life to the letter”.

If you people earnestly want to serve Me and be good workers

in My vineyard, then you must first of all establish a close
contact with Me, your Father from eternity, and only then you
will yourselves be enlightened and know that I reveal Myself
to you as I have promised, for My Word is truth and must
be fulfilled.

And it also comes true as soon as the necessary basis is given

and you live a life in love longing for My presence. The you
will listen inwardly and no longer doubt the love of the Father
who reveals Himself to you through His Spirit….
Amen

B.D. 9030 August 17 & 23,1965

A WARNING NOT TO CHANGE THE WORD OF

GOD…

Yet all of you again and again stumble at the form, as to how
My Word out of the height reaches you… This can be
explained very simply, in that I make use of the marvellous
(spiritual) grasp a person has, but must not be confused with
general education, for I rarely find a person who is able to
receive dictation of My Word, because with it comes the
ability, thoughts that touch him, to grasp them lightning fast
and to step by step write the dictation down… this however is
not to be confused with the birth of once own thoughts… This
could lead to the erroneous acceptance that it would be once
own body of thought, what the individual received and now
seeks to place as being spiritual. The persons mind at that
16
moment does not work, but he rather hears it internally, what
the Spirit out of God speaks to him…It never will be
incomprehensible for you, what you receive as My Word, if
you read it with the necessary open-mindedness, which
stipulates an understanding… And an alteration is in this
respect not in place, because you people also change
constantly in your form of expression, therefore one should
leave My Word, how it was received. For the content attest to
the divine exit, and after his ability to capture things the
receiver hears My Word, also if a light spirit radiates it to the
earth, for this cannot radiate unlike My Word…

The dictation comes all the more clearly into being, the more
intimate a person establishes the connection with Me, but he
will never be incorrect, for where a mistake slips in by
interference, there the recipient will soon be referred to, so that
he himself can correct it. For just therein lies the danger that
My Word is very easily exposed to such variations, because
men according to his “state of development” wants to give it
form, which is however absolutely inappropriate, for I know,
how I can address each person in order to be understood by
him. And the sense of My address is always understood, when
only through the Love a certain degree of maturity has been
reached, which is though not to be replaced by else kind of
intelligible formulation. And the one thing you should always
consider that in view of the near end My Word to you people
is truly offered in such a manner, that you can without doubt
accept it as truth, because I know, that only the truth alone
means rescue for you people and that I do everything, in order
to bring you the truth, however I would always warn you
before hand, to undertake changes for yourself, even when this
takes place with the best intentions...
Amen
