God is love

God loves you and me … his love is not like human love, but it is unconditional, not bound to our love or dependent on our love in its traits …
He loves you no matter who you are, what you are, what you have done wrong or right, what you think of you or others and whether you are good or evil … He loves you without ever expecting anything. We humans often rely on other people we think to love very high standards … we want to be loved back as we expect and think we deserve. This is often associated with many disappointments and soul suffering. But that’s not how God’s love is … His love for you never stops. Why can I write something so bold to you? … because God Himself vouches for it in His Word, and because His Son, Jesus Christ, on the cross of Golgotha, has sealed that covenant of love in His blood again. How is God’s love in his essence … his love is sacred and is completely different from the profane of this world, but for you today and for the future to experience.

The Son of God, Jesus Christ, came into the world as a savior.

In John 3 Verses 16 and 17 we read:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but that the world might be saved by him.

So God loved you so much that his son went to the cross on behalf of your sins. He has always loved you thus, without experiencing your love, which shows itself by obedience to his word and commandments. This love never stops, even if you do not return it. Because God does not force anyone to love him.

There are two levels to experiencing and sharing the love of God Himself.
We personally accept the sacrificial death of Jesus on the Cross and make Him the Lord of our lives and follow Him by allowing us to be guided and changed by His Holy Spirit. The vertical, the heavenly plane. We love our neighbor … the horizontal, the human-level: both levels are distinctive features of a true Christian. Not just words but actions. Do not just sit in a pew but be active yourself. Not just like a parasite sucking full, but even become a giver and servant. The Lord bless you as you continue to seek the truth.

We are here for you … if you have any questions feel free to contact

I can not force you to love me
If I wanted, I could take the light.
A shimmering piece of paper, crumple it in my fist.
And then, it would be night.
If I felt like it, I could destroy the day with fire.
Warm my hands on your charred hopes.
With the slightest movement of my arm, a flicker of my will
Sweep you and all darkness.
But I can not force you to love me.
Can not force you to love me.
Can not force you to love me.
I can not do you, I will not, you can not
force me to love.
If I wanted, I could pick up the sea.
Everything would be a blue-green tablecloth.
Discover lost, forgotten things.
Unwritten poems.
It would be easy to revive the bones
of men who never thought to see their homeland again.
I have awakened a shipwrecked person.
The story of that salvation, that homecoming
could prove that you are important to me.
But even if I LOVE YOU LOVE the sea and the
Can write heaven
Can not I force you to love me
Can not force you to love me
Can not force you to love me
I can not, do not become, can not force you,
to love me.
I can be a father, a brother, a shepherd, a friend.
The rock, the door, the light, the creator, son of man
Immanuel, Redeemer, Spirit, the First and Last,
Lion or lamb.
I can be the master, the lord, the way,
the truth, the life
Bread or bridegroom, Son of God, I am, Yahweh
Savior, judge, headstone, grapevine
King of kings, Liberator, Morningstar
Alpha and Omega, Jesus, Rabbi, Carpenter or Morning Dew
Servant, teacher, sacrifice, flower in Sharon
I can – let me – be crucified for you.
But I can not force you to love me.
Can not force you to love me.
Can not force you to love me.
I can not, I will not,
can not force you to love me … ♥ by Adrian Plass

shalom Lions and friends…

feel led  to release the words the Holy Spirit gave me several times the last few days… it started with… cleansing of the tongue…

I heard the words gossip, criticism, negative talk, pessimism…  

well obviously we all have problems in that area… it is very easy to use the words we speak for accusations. Instead when we see something wrong in our opinion it is wisdom to

pray first and ask the Lord to change us and the person. I found a lot of verses in the Bible which speak about using the tongue right and wrong. Lets look first what power this little

piece in our mouth has:

Proverbs 18:21  The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. NIV

Luke 6:45  A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. NV

Prayer:

Lord, I realize that i am not perfect in that area… my heart is not right in many ways towards others… and myself… I have spoken words unwisely and used my tongue for negative talking

and I have hurt people … sorry Lord, forgive me and help me to change…I need your help Holy Spirit that I use from this day forward words to show your mercy, love, healing, encouragement and

correction in love if necessary …

see James 3 : 1-12

Read Gods word … the bible

A time of refreshment comes for you …

in the AT of Isaiah chapter 40 we read

27 Why do you complain, Jacob?   Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”? 28 Do you not know?  Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary,  and his understanding no one can fathom. 29 He gives strength to the weary  and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord  will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;  they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Here we see a key word for receiving new strength and power, 
which affects both mental and physical condition. 
The word is ...

HOPE

it is called in the Hebrew qavah what can be translated with 
hope and wait. This word always comes with patience and it means as much 
as waiting with an expectation. A hope for the arrival of his promise. 
We also read in verse 28 that our God has the fullness of power and strength.
How can we implement this urge in a very practical way? So I do that: 
I'm looking for a quiet place, take my guitar and start to play songs 
of praise and wait until I come into his presence to talk to JESUS 
​​mentally through his Holy Spirit in me. The Bible says he lives in the praise 
of his people, and wherever he lives we can meet him. 
If you can not play an instrument, let a music that gives Jesus the glory 
run and sing along. Try to forget yourself, your worries and problems, 
hardships and suffering, avoid yourself in the focus of your thoughts 
and ask to have. But wait for his presence. 
Sometimes it gets really fast sometimes it may take longer. Try it. 
He is happy when you sacrifice time and come.
This is also our 2nd keyword

COME

This is what Jesus says in Matthew 11

28 Come unto me all who labor and are heavy laden, 
and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, 
for I am meek and humble of heart; you will find peace for your souls!

30 For my yoke is gentle and my burden is light.

Here Jesus calls you and me into his presence ... close to HIM ... 
we can experience his presence in several ways. One is through worship 
and praise, the other is through reading and studying in his Word, 
the Holy Scripture, the third is through prayer. 
This means that this coming again requires action on our part. 
Sacrifice TIME is probably a key to everything.

When we redirect our priorities to fellowship with Jesus, 
we have taken the first important step to be refreshed 
and strengthened and empowered. Then we may learn to be humble ... 
to find peace as in verse 29. This Greek word is also 
translated as refreshment. Which means: recovering to be fit for 
further work, settling down, resting temporarily, keeping calm, 
staying calm and waiting in patient expectation.

May the Lord bless you while you continue to seek HIM ... shalom

shalom... the last few days the Holy Spirit whispered the word refreshment 
in my ears... that means good news for you...
there is coming a time of refreshing for those who are tired from work, 
the inward fights and the fights with so called 
brothers and sisters who supposed to love and pray for you... 
here just a good advice - wisdom word what the Lord said to
me today... if you see something negative in your brother... 
make it a prayer... and afterwards ask the Holy Spirit if you 
should give him some good advice... 
just read these words of truth out  of Matthew 11
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, 
and you will find rest for your souls. 
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

He is calling you... to sit and listen to HIM.. to rest and enjoy HIS presence
... the entrance in that roam is worship and prayer 
in private.You need to rest for a while... so you are strengthened 
for the future work for HIM.
 The Lord knows how you feel and that
you want to serve HIM... but there is power in silence and listening. 
No running around and getting busy but cutting time out.. and 
YIELD.. do not beg Him all the time... most of our begging comes out 
of the flesh and fear
.. but just wait on him and ask him to speak to you... 
He loves you beloved... just come and surrender
your precious time... 

Dear brothers and sisters,

how happy and useful could we be for God if we took this teaching to heart:

Galatians 6 Verse 3 For if one thinks he is something, since he is nothing, he is deceiving himself.

But How many lessons are needed in this regard in the lives of a believer. But our Lord and Master is a patient teacher. In his school, although the classes often have to be repeated because the learning goal has not been achieved, but to be expelled from school, that’s not the case with HIM. Diotrephes, he wanted to be the first among the believers.. Did this man still recognize how worthless his actions were, without the Lord’s approval and blessing? For when we think we are something, since we are nothing, we deceive ourselves. As the Bible Word above teaches us.

King Saul at first found himself in a low position because he came from one of the smallest tribes of Israel, and was born into a family that was the least among all the families of the tribe of Benjamin. But after Saul was elevated to kingship, he meant to be something. As a result, he was characterized by self-confidence, need for recognition, disobedience, foolish behavior, inertia and much more. In spite of all power and splendor Saul remained in the eyes of God a nothing. He died ungraciously at the hands of the enemies of God. In contrast, Jacob, who learned the lesson in the school of God, and became by the grace of God from the troublemaker to the blessing bringer. It took him some time to realize this: I am too little of all the kindnesses – Genesis 32 verse 11. He ended his long and varied life as a worshiper of God. Gideon, the poorest and the youngest knows about his own inability, he did not think he was something, God tells him: I will be with you – Judges 6 verse 16. And give him the task of saving Israel from the hand of his enemies.

Moses or Saul, too, who became Paul, are examples of true humility, dear ones, so even as born-again Christians we do not want to forget that we are nothing in ourselves. We have to learn that in the school of God. This learning does not stop until we are with the Lord. Praise and thank him for what he makes us. Do not be like the prodigal son who ran away and wanted to be independent and fulfill the lust of the flesh and finally ended in a pitiful lifestyle, hungry, poor, like a sinner. . But stay in the house of the Father and in His presence, even if He chastises you, for He loves every son, every daughter, every child.

Our Father loves unity… may He grant us a humble spirit… may HE grant us the grace to forgive each other quickly… and may HE help us to surrender our lives to the truth, we find in the bible.

Psalm 133

Basic knowledge and foundations of the Christian faith … what does the Bible say, God’s Word, God’s manual for man to know and implement his will and standards?

The Bible consists of 66 books by 40 authors and is written over a period of over 1500 years. The authors were shepherds, fishermen, kings, a doctor, a scribe, a cup bearer, and prophets. It is a collection of literature of truth.

According to 2 Timothy 3: 10-17, the Bible is God’s infallible Word. Thus, the book of all books should be our # 1 priority. What has the highest authority in a human life is its God. God’s Word is not opinion-oriented and thus subject to the changing circumstances and moods of a person. God’s Word is the truth and Jesus is the truth. Thus, by understanding the Word and knowing who Jesus is, we will be able to distinguish truth from falsehood as we grapple with the contents of the Bible. Only in this way can we recognize how God is and thinks. According to John 1 verse 1, God and His Word are one.

God does not change, so we may build our house of life, firm as a rock it will stand even when the storms of life come you are strong and look at the truth, which has the power to change you and your circumstances for the better. The word acts like spiritual food and makes you grow in faith through love. The Word sets you free, makes you whole when we live in it and follow it.

Read God’s Word, the Bible … spend time in it … there you will find everything you need ..

Prayer:

Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit I wholeheartedly thank you that I may get to know you better … from today I would like to spend more time with the words you speak to me through the Bible … please forgive me where I have been in the past neglected. I realize I need more truth.

and where are you?…

The Pastor stole our spoon !

A Pastor had dinner at the house of a couple in his church. After he left, the wife said to the husband: ” I think he stole our spoon “. This bothered her for a whole year. A year later the couple had the pastor for dinner again. Unable to resist, the wife asked: ” Did you steal our spoon last year? ”

The Pastor replied: ” No, I put it inside your bible “.

Out of the world into the living word… spent time with Yeshua… read your bible… pray… meditate on the word…show HIM respect and honor HIM by not wasting time. 

Psalm 1

a word against rejection and inner pain…

Matthew 5:11-13 New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Salt and Light

¹³ “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

My child… the people who reject you are not worth your presence or knowing your name. I love you dearly, I stand patiently in line until you come to me with all your pain, your sorrows and unanswered questions… I am always here for you… Men will leave you, people will betray you, they will treat you like dirt even you have loved them and gave your time and strength… even family members will disappoint you so you are not able to trust flesh any longer… TRUST ME !

BUT I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU… just let them go… release them out of your heart through forgiving them… do not let a root of bitterness grow, this is what the enemy of your soul desires but my desire for you is – draw close to me, and all is well… your beloved Jesus
