The Deceased speak out. Dieter Scharnhorst

      "Soon we will stand hand in hand in the kingdom of God."

      I had been given permission to do this service to others. And so, since then, I have fulfilled my duty in this way. She's so versatile. For once I find my place with a lonely man. I pray to God in the name of the Redeemer for mercy for him, that he may receive him and forgive him. Depending on the situation, I also try to enter into conversation with the spirit of the person, to point out the last hours of his life and to pray with him. In this way I always found and still find many possibilities to fulfill my ministry. It makes me happy. And so I stand in the order of God and fulfil my service to my neighbour. Just as I was led, as I was gracious and merciful, I too want to pray for others and lead them.

      But I would like to betray one more thing, sometimes my task is a little hard. Because sometimes a person has not lived a life pleasing to God. Then I am made aware of his purification, of the tribulation that awaits him. But through my prayer, through my sacrifice, it is possible for me to guide him, to be a comforter for him in his place of distress, to make him aware again and again of the love, mercy and grace of God, which will one day also seize him. In this way I fulfil my task, and it is just the same, people on earth are attached to their life, to their environment, to all that they may have created themselves. They do not want to part from this earthly world. They only want to be human. Only when they have grown old and their body becomes burdensome to them will they be tuned differently. Then they are ready to leave the earth. But it will be a long time before that happens. Those who are in the bloom of their life, who are doing well, they do not want to die, they do not want to. And when they do come to the other world, they do not want to be satisfied even in the beginning. That is why they need this care.

      People generally do not want to die. And those who have settled down in the hereafter and after a good life are integrated into the divine world, they feel so happy in this big, beautiful, harmonious family that they do not want to return. And when they have to be told

      "'Now it is soon time for you, you must achieve even more, your present position is not yet enough, you must soon be born again into a new life on earth', then they answer:

      "No, no, not yet! Not yet! Leave me here! Do not let me go into a new earth life, I do not want to go back there again!

      So some people have to be put into a calming sleep with gentle force first, so that the transformation can take place, in order to be born again as a child on earth. Not everyone realizes that it is good for him, because he likes the heavenly world so much and feels at home here, because the future, which a new life on earth brings with it, seems too uncertain to him. For while a person knows so little as a human being, he knows in the hereafter about the temptations and dangers which await him in life on earth. They know that a person falls so quickly into temptation. How beautiful it can be in the spiritual kingdom. And so many a one is afraid that he could lose what he has acquired here so far if he does not prove himself in a future life on earth. Because he could fail, because nothing of the knowledge has penetrated into human life, which was still known in his family in the world of God. The memory is taken from him, because everyone has to start anew in the new life on earth. It is about showing anew what the longing of his soul is. Whether he is truly solidified in the depths of his soul, whether the longing for God and for Christ, the King of the spirit world, truly pulls him. Neither here nor there do they want to leave their world if they feel happy in it. And so often a situation comes about to leave them in order to enter a higher life, to take up a higher spiritual level, in order to move up faster. It may hurt people when something happens in their circle in the way it happened today.

      In the kingdom of God it is often not so painful, because they are led to spiritual clinics and there they are put into a pleasant sleep. Then when peace has come over those who are left on earth and their tears no longer flow down their cheeks, then it is time to awaken for those in the spiritual hospitals and then they will judge everything from their spiritual point of view and will fit into the new life. So I was allowed to say these words to your teaching.

      3.Case study

      Many people think that by praying to God so much, they have advantages over others, and those who pray to their so-called saints are received by them or led to them when they return to the hereafter. Through their ecclesiastical education they have a false idea of life after death. They cannot imagine that one has to work and learn a lot there. And when you tell them, they indignantly reject it. The following report, which was received by the media, gives an answer.

      Spirit of God: In the following case study, a returnee tells of her life in the hereafter:

      My name is Hilde, and I would like to tell you about my early days in the world of God. In addition I would like to make some remarks about my human life.

      I remained unmarried and, as I believed, lived a pious life and, in my opinion, took religious life very seriously. But my fellow men did not always agree with my conduct. They said I was violent and often hypocritical, so they did not believe my exaggerated piety. I, on the other hand, tried to be pious all my life, for I believed that prayer was part of life and that it was important to pray quite a lot. I was taught by my parents that by praying a lot one's sins are forgiven. I also tried to do a lot of good at the same time.

      Now I want to tell you about my life in the spiritual world. When I had opened my spiritual eye, I was amazed and surprised by this new world. My parents, some relatives and friends came to meet me. They did not make happy faces and all did not seem very happy. They reached out their hands to greet me and I wanted to express my joyful surprise at the reunion and that they had come to greet me. But I did not get the chance, not even to talk. At first everything went haywire in my mind. I was not yet quite aware whether I had really died or whether all that I was experiencing now was only a dream.

      But then someone had stood beside me and made it clear to me that I was in the hereafter. I would have died for the earthly world, but risen in the spirit, and all those who welcomed me would now also be in the world on the side beyond, in the world with which I now had to familiarize myself. I would now have to adapt myself to this order and should be quite obedient, because everything I would have done in life would not be in the best order. Now I would have to make up for everything I had done wrong. But they did not talk about it any more and asked me to come along. I had the impression that I lived somewhere on earth in a village unknown to me. It all looked so similar to earthly conditions. Then a man who had become my companion walked up to a house and said

      "In this house you will have to take up residence for the time being. The inhabitants here live together like a family. You must now join them and try to live harmoniously with them, for you came last.

      Further spoke the being that those other spirit brothers and sisters had been here for a long time and therefore they would know the order of God exactly. So I should follow their instructions.

      My companion still promised to ask for me occasionally and left me after he had left me to those roommates.

      The house I entered was as simple and modest as I had been used to live on earth. Here a brother approached me and greeted me on behalf of all. He asked me to sit down, for they would tell me something about their life and activities. At first I was really dazed and felt quite tired. I still did not know, is it true what they told me, am I dead now, or is it all just a dream? So I asked them to let me rest a little first, I needed a lot of sleep. So they took me to a small, narrow room to lie down. I could still see that it was a plain room, for I only saw my simple bed. Everything else was indifferent to me too, for I felt very tired, but I could still think about it, if it is really so that I died, then I only want to rest. How long I had really slept I did not know afterwards. There was no time calculation and no clock to look at. After I had slept in, they continued to look after me and asked me to join the community now. I felt really recovered and relieved after that sleep. Everyone showed me their joy that I was doing well and rested.

      Now they began to tell me about what they had to work here and what they had already achieved and what still had to do. So they always talked about working.

      I was disappointed, one reason being that I had to live together with
