Sword-Bishop – His Personal Development

          because she does not dam them up in her, but allows them to flow
          through! Become empty! Prism, only prism! What I give you must con-
          tinue to flow, otherwise it will become bottled up in you and adopt
          much that is human and personal from you. The great mistake of
          many of My instruments!»

          And so it was. Suddenly it worked. The KGS gained a foothold in
          Switzerland! Unfortunately, however, it was again and again most
          vehemently attacked. And this chiefly from traditional circles, which
          grieved and wounded Nikolaus most. More often than not from such
          people who had never ever spoken with or seen him before.

          Had the KGS become successful, it was destroyed again by slander.
          Many fought against him because they believed it was competition. By
          the time Nikolaus had finally exposed this slander or also ignorance of
          others, the KGS had again been so much destroyed that he frequently
          had to start again, more or less from scratch. Had he not had, besides
          GOD, his brave, dear wife, who always understood him as a person,
          lifted his spirits and believed in him unconditionally, who knows ...!

          One day he received a telephone call from Germany from a wellknown
          Marian pilgrimage site. He was asked to come because a religious
          sister had heard something about the KGS and desired to know more
          about it. The Sword-Bishop tells us about it:
          «At first I thought to myself, this sister is rather bold! I am supposed to
          undertake an expensive journey, which would take me six or seven
          hours, without knowing the details! However, I immediately heard
          within me the voice of the SAVIOUR, saying: „Go there!“ And I went.»

          There he met this religious sister, from whom he learnt that she lived in
          a convent in Holland and was as good as retired, and that she had
          been imploring GOD for three years that He might give her an apos-
          tolate with and for children, and so on. This sister, then, was really
          enthusiastic about the KGS. She returned to Holland and worked so
          beneficially in the Netherlands and Belgium that Nikolaus (still a
          layman at that time) had to travel to Holland and Belgium more and
          more often at the strong desire of these people who wanted him to talk
          to them about the KGS and to instruct the children himself. He held talk
          after talk and retreats for the parents, and so forth, and so on. In this
          time GOD worked many miracles through him, mainly on children (see
