That's why we break God's commandments with 1G/2G

​

Because God's commandments are commandments of love. Because the glorious truth about God is: that He is love! But with 1G/2G we no longer act in love. On the contrary, we break His commandments on a large scale, yes, we also contribute to the fact that they are broken more and more worldwide and that many people are excluded from society and the churches/communities etc. But with this we testify of the world and not of God. For God is love and He invites everyone into His house (Mark 11:17) — To God's glory and to many people's blessings!

​​

"Many will be offended by this, betraying one another and hating one another. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many. And because lawlessness will prevail, the love of many will grow cold." (Mt 24:10-12) When we move away from the fire we are colder than when we are very close to the fire; as if we are very close to love, as if we are very close to God. And if we do not love God (first commandment), our hearts will grow cold and through 1G/2G it will "only" become visible - high time to turn back !​

In the Corona period so far, there have been far too many who have not served God but have broken God's commandments and who also felt that this was so right that they not only supported this way of the world but also demanded that others follow it go. But there were also many who did not break God's commandments, but should this really be credited to them? Should they be praised for doing what should be a given. Should one say "well done" or even rejoice that they had not broken the commandments? No, we can't praise them for that, but of course we can credit them with it and encourage them to take this path even more. So that next time they not only meet the minimum, the minimum, are a little light but a real beacon. Because unfortunately there were far too few who were a light in these dark times, a role model for other believers, a lighthouse that shows many the way to God and serves to honor Him. Who testifies of God, just as Jesus taught, commanded and always lived it himself. But in far too many places His people seemed like a small, scattered flock, as if they had no shepherd, let alone one who was also God and interceded for them. She seemed more like she was on her own and therefore didn't act much differently than the world; which God does not know. It was a flock of little faith and in many places even unbelievers.

But these days are about the great conversion, the great conversion to God. But don't think that this only means the world. No, God always cares about His people first. Anything else would be unfair. Because the children of the world are not yet interested in God's will and therefore they would not be able to understand if they were now required to keep God's commandments. But His people should not only be interested in it but should long for it with all their hearts and live it as an example to the world - to their blessing - and of course to God's glory. It was and is not about the conversion of the world but about the conversion of those who say that Jesus is their Lord. It's about the great conversion in the churches/communities and those places where Jesus is called Lord. Because where He is called Lord, His will should of course be done, His kingdom should be visible and His name should be hallowed. The heavenly places should also be heavenly places and where God lives, that is where heaven has come to earth and these are also the churches/communities. And when this happens, it also serves as a witness and salvation for all others who cannot yet confess Jesus as Lord. Because since Corona we have been living in the time of judgment and God is now judging His house(s). He shakes it by showing us what He no longer wants to see in His house and calls believers everywhere to repent. For He is the vinedresser and we are the branches and all the branches that do not bear fruit are cut back so that there is more room for those that do bear fruit. It is a test of our faith and the judgment of His house, over which Jesus is called Lord, and which is so often only a shell of faith. And no matter how often we think about this facade, the word love write but no longer live it, it is still His house but no longer serves to honor God. Which is why it is all the worse that this is called His house, because it all falls back on God and, on the contrary, serves to dishonor Him. How could God not judge this and urge people to repent with all his might? Unfortunately, things usually have to get worse before they can get better and get better. And it has become very clear how necessary this reversal is. Especially since in this period of time, the time of judgment, there will actually only be two churches left: The Whore of Babylon and the Church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:10), as well as those who belong to Philadelphia, even if they are not aware of it and are not yet an official part of it. Because this is also a spiritual question. But there will only be the true body of Jesus, in the form of the Philadelphia type church, and the false body, the church of Satan; the wolf in sheep's clothing or the prophet who has two horns like a lamb and speaks like a dragon. And the frightening thing is that what we have seen in many places, including in the communities, during the Corona period so far was like a wolf in sheep's clothing. But the whore of Babylon is the place and the great gathering of those who do not want to let go of the world, who do not want to overcome the world. But the body of Jesus is the overcoming of everything worldly; through faith. Because he is our victory, in every way. And that's why communities in particular have to set an example. These must remain places where heaven has come to earth. Yes, places where God lives and lives. A place to stand in reverence before God and give Him all the glory; a place to worship God – God’s home!

Because Jesus' church is much more than a hospital. It is the place where sick people should become healthy in every respect and, above all, not sicker. That's why the spirit and its healing always come first, but of course our heavenly Father also takes care of our physical well-being. Because this is important and good for us, it is also important to God. And we would also be hypocrites if we said that it wasn't that important, but as soon as we feel physically bad or it could even be that way - see the Corona period so far - we are immediately very worried, afraid and even Panicking and complaining, even sacrificing God's holy commandments and nothing less than God's holy name for our physical well-being; because our health comes first. This shows us very clearly how important our physical well-being is to us and that it is important to us is completely okay. God wouldn't think it's right if we didn't care. And if someone gets well because of prayer or speaking/laying on of hands, this is, in the truest sense of the word, a wonderful sign from God (John 9:3 +10.38 as well as Mark 16:20 andActs 5:12-16). God always shows us how important we are to Him and how much He loves us, even what His holy name means: salvation. And when He heals us, we see that His name truly means salvation and that He wants to and can pull us out of every danger, just as David sang about it again and again in many psalms and God made known and taught through Him; because God is love and His name therefore carries exactly this (salvation) within it. But it's not just us who see it, but also those who can't believe it yet.

And if we are also proven in this, then it is all the easier for us to testify of God, even in great distress, and to be even better at supporting others in their difficult times. Be it through encouraging words or a prayer, an encouragement/laying on of hands for healing or simply a hug because the person is currently very afraid. Paul also recognized how important it is to continually report on God's supernatural intervention and thus encourage the communities. So that it would be easier for them to trust God completely, especially in difficult times. So he taught how important this is and how much God is happy about it and of course this trust does not disappoint if you do what corresponds to God's teaching and do not test Him with it. Just as the other apostles taught, Peter in particular found very clear words for it and associated with it a great mystery of faith(1 Peter 1:6-7).

And if everyone knew this so clearly - and how much I wish this and how much I pray for it - then where were they all when the Corona numbers were high and the world was about to go crazy? Why were many churches/communities, Christian organizations etc. at that time only a shadow of the world but no light for the world, unfortunately not for other believers either, and lived this accordingly, even having their doors in some places completely closed? Where was the trust in God? Yes, God probably wants us to close the doors, it comes from the state and we have to obey the state because it too is a servant of God. We have to practice humility now... such nonsense. And the corona vaccination doesn't come from heaven either. Don't you see that it leads to exclusion from society, even from churches/communities, and creates separation instead of connection? Is that God's will? The world can't do it differently, we have to understand and even accept that, but we should be able to do it differently and therefore live it differently. For God sent faith from heaven so that every division may be overcome and we may bring many to God; through love. So that we may be built on the rock, able to withstand all storms, knowing that God loves us and believing that when we need help, He will intervene; to the world as a witness! Because how else could the world learn? This is what God wants and what He wants to do through His people. But we have to believe it too! For this reason He checks our faith (if necessary and unfortunately for most people it is necessary) whether it is genuine."For he is more valuable than gold that perishes, which is purified by fire." (1 Peter 1:6-7)

If you would like, a little help on the often misunderstood topic of “believing correctly”.
Otherwise, just skip it (until the next bold text) but maybe it will also be a good help for you. Because that's how God explained it to me, step by step.

Because I experience again and again, and perhaps you too, that many leaders are not yet able to live the way God has taught. They misclassify grace - which undoubtedly remains and must remain the most important thing. They subordinate everything to her. On the one hand, this is true, but it can also be misleading. Because it is also the foundation. And you build on a foundation. And faith is built on this foundation. But faith also means that every Jesus sheep can come before God at any time blameless, holy and completely without guilt and can expect everything that is good for you from God, as the Bible teaches; yes, even expected. For why should God not want to do it and not fulfill what was asked? There is no reason for this anymore. Jesus took care of it completely at that time and cried out with great pain: “It is finished!”.

Or they try to divine God's will. This can also lead astray. If God tells someone His will, it is good and of course right to follow it, but otherwise we have to follow His written word and of course check everything against it. And it says very clearly what God wants and why Jesus himself always taught and did/lived. If we try to guess His will through any philosophical explanations, this can also lead us very much astray. Because we are not omniscient and only know God's will to the extent that He communicates it to us. Just believe "What Jesus himself taught and did and follows His glorious example, as well as that of the apostles, and trusts in your glorious God that He will also do what is asked; because it corresponds to His teaching. But don't fall out of grace (spiritually, don't despise grace) if the prayer doesn't come true right away. This is another mistake that many make. Don't fall out of grace by becoming at odds with God, but then exercise patience and pray if you have the impression that you are at odds with God you came. Because grace should always remain the most important and most beautiful gift from God. She must always come first.

But if the prayer has not yet been fulfilled, it may also be the case that you have not yet accepted God's gift with open arms, for example a healing, because you are still too much in the "mercy mindset" or even "sinner mindset." " or in any explanations as to why what was requested might not happen, and that keeps you from this belief (no ifs and buts).  In that case, pray that you can accept His gift. Because no matter what the reason is why something could not happen, it is an obstacle to believing in the fulfillment as God has taught. But of course it is also possible that God will only fulfill the prayer later , or not at all or simply completely different than requested, but with the same effect or even better. But that shouldn't interest us for now, because it would stand in the way of our absolute faith, especially since it also depends very much on what was asked of God.

​

Either way, "just" believe what is written in the Bible and what Jesus himself taught and exemplified countless times. First of all, stay on the ball, and always with the joy that God will do it, and give don't open too quickly. And always be completely honest with yourself about whether you could be the obstacle. what you believe/suspect if what you requested has not yet arrived. But above all, stay at peace with yourself and of course with God; always remain in His grace and rejoice in it first. In all of this, there is a very simple rule of thumb that sums it all up wonderfully: Let God, Be God!

​

Because it's about trust. It's about trusting God. But Trust is hope, supported by faith; supported by God's love. However, believing and hoping is like day and night. Because hope always has its limits. This limit is where the world seems to contradict this hope because you cannot yet see what you are asking for or because everything seems to speak against it. But faith overcomes all limits because the only thing that matters is what you believe; regardless of reality, which may even contradict this belief. And in this spirit we must have faith, not just in hope but in trust, in unshakable trust in God that He will intervene and change the situation accordingly. As the Bible already taught in the Old Testament and repeat this teaching again Jesus was underlined and reinforced. Yes, Jesus even rebuked His disciples and told them that they had hard hearts because they did not trust in God but rather in their own actions. But God is love and therefore also loves her infinitely. No one knew this better than Jesus and so He taught it accordingly and emphasized it again for everyone to see on the cross. But it was often difficult for His disciples to believe that God loves them so much, perhaps because they were still too caught up in the way the world thinks.

Corona is not over, it is just beginning - but don't be afraid

​

Many people think that Corona is almost over or has now become established and is therefore no longer anything out of the ordinary. But be warned, the opposite is true; it's just beginning! "For the revelation waits for the appointed time, and yet it hastens to the end and will not deceive. If it is delayed, wait for it, for it will surely come and will not fail." (Have 2.3) That's why it's so important now that we understand and live this time correctly and clearly reject the 1G/2G (commandments of the world); as soon as they are back on the world's agenda and we want to be convinced again to follow their path. Please don't be afraid. For God's will is not for His children to fall but to bring them to glory. So let us also, more than ever, give glory to God and worship Him; let us trust completely in God! Let's give our fears and worries to Jesus, He will take more than good care of them. Because He loves us more than anything - let us believe it!

​

"I have spoken these things to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you are afraid; but be of good courage; I have overcome the world."— and did it for all who want to become children of God. So why are you still afraid children? Or have you not become my children? You are reconciled to God; God is with you! Did I not give myself up for you out of pure love? Are you still so ignorant and of little faith? (John 16:33 and my additional impression of the verse at this moment)

It's about us knowing God and, because we know Him, trusting Him and therefore being able to serve Him well even in difficult situations. That's why He came to us. So that we can know God in a way that no one has ever been able to before. For He wants to testify about Himself through His people. But what kind of testimony is this that when a wolf comes, all the sheep immediately run away and the shepherds run away in front? Well, then of course it's no wonder why the sheep run away. Because they follow their shepherd. But is that convincing or even encouraging for others? Yes, that's ok for a club. But for a people who claim God himself is with them? We're talking about God! What didn't the people of Israel do in the Old Testament, what battles did they win when they knew/believed that God was with them? That only changed when they no longer believed that or God turned away from them because they continually broke His commandments and didn't want to stop. But thank God we have our glorious Jesus for all of this, who has taken care of it once and for all. Therefore, in our case it is nothing less than the question of who do I trust more: the world and its analyses, assumptions and techniques (actions) or God, His Word/His teaching, and His witnesses (actions)?

Therefore, test whoever commits himself forever, it is said at the wedding and His church is also about to get married. But what kind of bad relationship is if you can't trust your partner? Would you want to marry such a partner? Therefore examine whoever binds himself forever? And God wants to connect with us forever if we also want to enter into a relationship with him and give him our hearts. But He not only wants us to submit to Him completely in love - because He is God - but He also wants us to trust Him completely. Because love without trust is not love. And not only can we trust God, but we should, and He continually calls on us to do so. And not only we should trust Him, but basically the whole world, how much more so His people, His children, who have been declared righteous before Him through His holy blood. For we are to have a glorious relationship with none other than God himself. Jesus is our husband and He tests those who want to unite with Him forever and this test serves to strengthen them so that this connection with Him is all the stronger, all the deeper, all the more fulfilling. For He is not only our Husband, He is also our King/Ruler, our Shepherd and Savior; yes, our God. How could we not trust Him? Let's pray for it!
 

And so the prophet Ezekiel warned the people of God back then:"You do not strengthen the weak, you do not heal the sick, you do not bind up the wounded, you do not bring back the lost, and you do not seek the lost; but you trample down the strong with violence." (Ezek 34:4)

​

​But that has to change now and the circle of those who want to change that needs to get bigger. We want to work for this. So that the weak is strengthened again, the sick is healed, the wounded is bandaged, the lost is brought back and the lost is sought. The strong but remains humble and shines powerfully for everyone who is in the house and is encouraged to do this more and more. Just as it pleases God, because it brings glory to Him and His house should become a blessing to many. For God shall be honored, praised and praised by many mouths - yes, He shall be worshiped by all creation; because He is God!

So let us worship the King together, for He is coming back now and His reward with Him!
