What is learned in the cradle is carried to the tomb...

This goes also for sowing and harvesting!!

Double healing of the eyes

Recently François and Els had to go to a funeral in the family on a Tuesday afternoon. They had already informed us that they probably would not be able to come to the meeting that evening. Contrary to their expectation, they returned home at about 18.30 o'clock. They decided to go to the meeting all the same, but François still wanted to eat a bowl of soup first. He went to the garage and bent down in the dark to lift up the cauldron from the floor. In doing so, he knocked his right eye against an iron bar of a clothes horse.

Here is the story of how Tamara met Jesus and how He changed her life completely.

Here is how she tells her story:

“I grew up in a Catholic family. From the age of 10 till I was 14, I went faithfully to church every Sunday although under mild pressure of my Grandma. I believed in God and read the Bible in those years. However, I didn’t like church: cold and very unpleasant to be there as a child.

In the following years faith was shut out completely. Church was expendable.

Somewhere I had read Jesus said: ‘Split a piece of wood and I’m there. Lift up a stone and you will find Me.’ And so my life continued calmly it’s course…

Twenty years later I met Robby. He is an evangelical Christian and his heart is filled with love for the Father. I couldn’t quite grasp this and wanted to know where that came from. So I ended up at Gods Ambassade. Months passed by. I started to read the Bible again and I attended Sunday service regularly. I knew God existed but I lacked the deep conviction I saw in church.

Through a combination of circumstances my world was falling apart. In the night of 6th to 7th September 2014 I was overwhelmed with grief. I asked God: ”What must I do?” He answered with one simple word: “Belief!” I went to sleep with a saddened heart and had a very restless sleep. A bright light woke me, at first I didn’t pay attention to it, thinking it came from outside. A little later, again there was this bright light. This time I experienced a powerful presence. I didn’t dare to open my eyes, but I knew I was wide awake. A warmth flowed through me, I never experienced this before and I felt very comforted. For a long time I thought it was an angel that comforted me. Now I know it was Father Himself who took me in His arms that night.

The following day I went to church together with Robby. We were celebrating the 25th anniversary of Gods Ambassade. I managed through the day on autopilot, that evening we split up. We had one more conversation. Robby said: “If God says: ‘belief!’, then why do you still doubt? Doubt is Satan’s work!”.
I got in my car and said out loud: “Satan, huh! Well, Satan, you better quickly get out of my life, I don’t want anything to do with you!” At once I was filled with that same warmth I felt during the night. In that moment, my world totally changed. I was singing the whole way back home. The next day as I was walking from the parking lot to my job, it seemed like the world around me had become smaller.

I told Ann about it and in her presence I very consciously gave my life to Jesus.I was baptized on 9th December 2014 but it was on that particular 7th September that my new life began. It is a date that marks both the saddest day and the happiest day of my life. On that day in 2002 my father died of cancer and on that same day in 2014 Father found me.

These days, my heart still sings: ‘No more to roam, I’ve found my home. Hallelujah in my heart I’m not alone! Love walks with me. Hallelujah, in my heart!”
And He is right: one simple word is enough: ‘BELIEVE!’
