What did <strong>Jesus</strong>’ body consist of?…. I.<br />
Nothing is impossible to Me, your God and Creator…. Everything I want, happens, and what I want to create instantly<br />
appears in front of Me as an accomplished thought…. I have no limitations, neither concerning ideas nor executed<br />
actions, be they of spiritual or material substance. For basically everything is spiritual substance, regardless of whether<br />
you see physical or spiritual creations. But how this substance is natured can only be judged by Me Myself…. Only I<br />
know whether it is spiritual substance which had once fallen away from Me and had hardened into solid matter or<br />
whether it is My directly emanated spiritual strength which took on a shape according to My will, for I can use any<br />
strength to change or form all kinds of works of creations.<br />
I can also give My directly emanated strength those characteristics which cling to the sinful spiritual being if it, in its<br />
final form as a human being, shelters a soul for the purpose of attaining perfection…. A body created by Me of nonsinful<br />
spiritual substances can, through My will, experience a state of weakness or incorporate characteristics which<br />
adhere to all other bodies if it serves a specific purpose…. Everything is within My will and within My power….<br />
But through contact with the world, with matter…. which is impure spiritual substance…. everything of a pure, divine<br />
nature will always be influenced by the latter and experience problems, and since <strong>Jesus</strong>’ act of Salvation involved an<br />
extraordinarily important mission, impure adverse forces made a special effort to exert influence on the purely Divine,<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong>’ external form. For this divine-spiritual emanation of strength, which His body has to be regarded as, did not take<br />
effect by destroying or preventing everything of an adverse nature…. instead, it was sufficient to render the same<br />
resistance, like any other external form should, by pacifying the encroaching spiritual substances and thus waging the<br />
same battle against all temptations, for as a human being <strong>Jesus</strong> wanted to exemplify the kind of life which all fellow<br />
human beings should live in order to release themselves from the forces of darkness.<br />
However, the fact that <strong>Jesus</strong>’ body consisted of earthly matter cannot be denied: nevertheless, this earthly matter was a<br />
product of My love, wisdom and might, its substance was not taken from a fallen spirit but My emanated strength which<br />
My will compressed into shape…. Even so, the demands it imposed on <strong>Jesus</strong> were by no means less arduous, for as<br />
soon as strength from Me comes to earth…. hence, as soon as perfect spirit enters My adversary’s realm, it will be<br />
besieged by unspiritual substances and all substances which clung to <strong>Jesus</strong>’ soul and more or less took possession of the<br />
body were meant to be redeemed. Thus He had to fight so as not to succumb to them but without using His strength<br />
beyond human means since He was meant to serve people as an example and, therefore, <strong>Jesus</strong> the man was not granted<br />
any privilege due to extraordinary strength….<br />
As a human He had to be like all other people, and even the fact that His body was a product of My strength did not<br />
give Him any advantages in His striving for deification…. It was nothing more than a shackle which continuously<br />
tormented His soul, because it was used to freedom and the brightest of light and had to take above in darkness…. And<br />
this darkness also inundated the body, causing it much pain which was felt by the soul and yet it could not be spared for<br />
the body. For as a result of His love <strong>Jesus</strong> recognised all correlations and was resigned to His fate, which He exactly<br />
foresaw and through which alone He already endured indescribable pain.<br />
Nevertheless, complete deification could only be achieved by extraordinary suffering and an abundance of love…. And<br />
the fact alone that a pure body without sin and a soul from the kingdom of light had to reside in the realm of the prince<br />
of darkness contributed towards that, because they constantly had to defend themselves against him and his forces,<br />
which made every effort to tempt the body into becoming sinful in order to cause the downfall of <strong>Jesus</strong>, the human<br />
being, albeit he did not succeed. However, it was a hard fight, and yet, <strong>Jesus</strong> the man prevailed and thus provided all<br />
people with proof that through love they also acquire the strength in order to resist all temptations by the adversary.<br />
Besides, through His crucifixion He also acquired the grace of greater willpower for you humans, so that it is possible<br />
for all people to release themselves from the shackle of their prison warden, so that they will not be at the adversary’s<br />
mercy but find help in <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> in Whom they can confide and Who nevertheless understands them as human beings<br />
and will truly snatch them from the adversary’s control if they appeal to Him, for He knows how much he torments<br />
your body in order to prevent your soul from maturing…. He is aware that the battle in earthly life is hard because the<br />
body still belongs to the adversary, who does not want to release it, but <strong>Jesus</strong> made the sacrifice on the cross for you so<br />
that you can become free, He redeemed you through His blood so that you will be released from all sin…. Amen<br />
