Giving birth with Jesus

On a Sunday after church, Ilse, 39 weeks into her pregnancy, told us she had been feeling so much better at the same moment during her two previous pregnancies which had been very special and God-blessed.

Both times there were clear signs in advance that her body was preparing for childbirth: the softening of the neck of the womb and already a bit of dilatation.

How great Thou art!

It was my desire to once participate in a Fatherheart School or a conference of Gods Ambassade. I had great doubts as to whether this would ever become reality.

The local church: Hope for the future !

Today’s society hasn’t become easier. Notwithstanding new communication techniques such as SMS, chatting, e-mail, communicating and relating to one another is becoming increasingly difficult. A great many people live terribly lonely lives.

The number of depressions is on the rise, psychiatric wards were never more crowded than today… Inner rest is something very few people still know or experience. Even the advancement of medical science cannot banish suffering and death from our lives. Each time there is a new therapy, some new disease turns up…

For many affections science has no answer.

When people lose hope, they don’t want to live any longer.

Faith starts with hope. The local church is potentially the most influential power on planet earth. Church is given by God to be a place of salvation, liberation, healing and recovery… a place where people love one another in spite of their shortcomings and where they can become truly happy.

Our God is a God of hope… for Him, nothing is impossible
