God protects

GOD PROTECTS!
Jasmijn relates:
"It is Monday morning. The schedule for the forenoon looks as follows: after breakfast to the market and after that still to the store too.
While I prepare myself, I pray to God. I ask Him to open my eyes for His goodness and for the small 'miracles' He is doing for us day after day.
09:30h. Finally we are standing at the front door, ready to leave. Given my tight schedule, I put up some speed. I am already on my way from the front door to the car, when suddenly Bram says he still wants to take a toy with him. I open the front door to about one full meter, and I go already on to the car. When I am fixing Jonas in the car, Bram comes running to me already and he comes and sits in the car too. I fasten him and we leave. First to market, then to the store. About a full one and a half hour later, we arrive back home. I loosen the boys and I walk to the front door... and it is still almost completely open!!! It takes a while before I realise that I had forgotten to close it.
Immediately I went to look around inside, but everything was just as we had left it. Nothing was missing, not even any keys! I am sure, our house has been protected by God Himself that morning! "

When two of you agree ...

A female resident - greatly advanced in years- from the retirement home where Inger used to work, was eagerly looking forward to the wedding party of her granddaughter, with whom she had a special bond. A while before the wedding, she was visibly getting worse: she became confused, had no strength left. She was expected to die very soon. Years before all this Inger once had talked with her about Jesus, but she did not want to choose for Him nor receive prayer. She thought it was "too late to change her mind". When her condition became critical, she allowed Inger to pray with her and she gave her heart to Jesus. Inger also prayed for new strength, so she would be able to attend the wedding. The next day her condition was much better, and slowly but surely the confusion disappeared and she recovered her strength. With a fresh mind, and a lovely outfit, she enjoyed -amidst her family -the wedding party she had longed for so much.

The shoulder of a 81 year old heals completely

Theo, nearly 82 years old, can still work hard and he bicycles a lot.
He wholeheartedly believes Father’s promise in Psalm 92:12-15:

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing to shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

And that is his testimony wherever he goes and people ask him how come he is still in such good health
A few years ago Theo fell when riding his bicycle and hurt his left shoulder very badly. At first he could only move his forearm, the shoulder was frozen. With persistent prayer the condition improved. He could move his shoulder again but working was still off limits. His brother had asked him to come and repair a roller shutter at his place. Theo replied it wasn’t possible because of his shoulder.

When Jan Sjoerd Pasterkamp preached in our church on Sunday 9th March he had some words of knowledge at the end of the service. One was that somebody who had hurt his left shoulder in an accident or a fall, was now healed. Immediately Theo thanked Father silently and added he would go help his brother with that shutter.

On Monday he went to his brother. The shutter was stuck in the header box above so Theo had to work with his two arms up in the air to get it fixed… it was a tough job! He worked very hard with both his shoulders and he had no pain whatsoever… his shoulder was completely healed!
Theo is very grateful to Father, and he tells about it everywhere and he is also working very hard again with that shoulder!
