Healed from chronical bronchitis and healthier than before

Bronchitis was a phenomenon Josée was very familiar with... a few times a year she had to contend with it and then she had to stay inside for quite a time and to take medication. As a child already she was troubled by it...she often coughed yellow lumps and she drank quite some cough mixture in the course of her life. Having a phone call with Ann she told that she invariably used to have a bronchitis in the period between Shrovetide and Easter.

It is all about a heart relationship

Jeanine from the Netherlands sent us the following testimony after our Fatherheartschool in October 2017:

“About half a year ago, the Holy Spirit showed me an image: I was playing as a young girl at a playground. When I stopped playing, I noticed a man sitting on a bank. I looked a little bit closer and I realized that it was Father. I sat down next to him. He wrapped his arm around me and I cuddled up to him and gave him my pebbles. They were precious to him.

What do we believe?

God is greater, better and closer than we can imagine.
The Bible is Gods perfect guide for life.
Jesus is God showing Himself to us.
Trough the Holy Spirit God lives in and trough us.
Nothing of the earth or the universe is by accident. God has made it all.
We people do enough things against Gods will. We call that "sin" and because of that it is impossible to come to God.
Because God wants to have a relation with us, Jesus arranged for it that we cannot be guilty any more by willingly taking our penalty. Therefore we now can come to God.
God promise us eternal live if we believe in Jesus. The choice is ours whether we want it or not.
Heaven and hell are real. Our choice determines our destination.
The church has the task to serve people just as Jesus did.
