Welcome   

  to wake up call #6. Gods love for each individual person.

 

It is our prayer, that  God will draw closer and closer to you as you

draw daily closer and closer to Him . We pray, that through the power of His

Spirit you will be able to separate yourself from the dominion and teachings

of the Catholic and the Lutheran institutions. Here in Missouri or in the USA

this is much easier. Because, the Holy Spirit has not yet been denied daily

access, to the lives of most of the people of this country like it is in the

German speaking countries. But Satan has also made big gains under the

Christian and the non-Christian population here in the last 30 - 40 years.

 

God gave all His love to His creation. Adam and Eve had no wants in

the Garden He had placed them. However, when they broke their creators

only command and didn’t follow His instructions, they had sinned and could

not stay with God. God sent them away from His perfect world into a world

their sin had created. Into a world of danger, work and death. God had hopes,

that they would learn to listen to Him and not live by there own understand-

ding or by Satan’s directions. But God still loves people and He had already

made a plan how He would bring them back to Himself.

                                                                                   (Please read Gen.3:15)

 

The evil in the days of Adam and Eve did not come from God. It does

not come from God today either. Because God is love. ( 1.Jn 4:16) The

evil in the world comes from Satan and from the people who are under his

influence, the people who do not accept Gods love. Mankind as a whole has

never loved God. Adam and Eve denied God their love and trust when they

listened and obeyed Satan instead of remembering what God had comman-

ded them. (Gen. chapter 3)

 

The descendants of Adam and Eve multiplied greatly. Since they were

spiritually and physically separated from God, their sins and evil multiplied

also greatly. “The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had

become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil

all the time.” (Gen. 6:5) This is how it will be when Jesus comes back.

 

(Read Mt. 24: 37-39) Look around you, dear reader, if you are honest you

can see, that we are living in a time today not unlike that of the days of Noah.

A time in which mankind creates more evil every day.

 

Faithfulness and love for God showed only Noah and his family.

“Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he

walked with God.” (Gen.6:9)

 

          However, all his sermons fell, by his fellow men, on deaf or uncaring

ears. The same has happened to me very often in my 18 years  as pastor or

missionary in Germany. Many just did not want to hear the Truth nor did

they want to understand it. Paul wrote about such people in one or more of

his letters. He prophesied when he wrote: “The coming of the law-

less one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds

of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that de-

ceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the

truth and so be saved. For this reason God send’s them a powerful delusion

so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have

not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”     (2.Th.2:9-12;

2. Tim. 3:1-5)

These verses speak very clearly of the Popes church and the German

speaking people who will not and can not let go of their alignment with the

Lutheran and Catholic churches. They live under Gods “powerful delusion

so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned”

 

Again I am begging you with a terrible fear for your soul. Would you

please, please believe what your Bible, Gods Word says and allow Jesus to

save you through His New Covenant?

 

The people in the time of Noah, did not believe him until the rain came.

The most German speaking people, unless they change, will also not under-

stand or believe the Truth Jesus has died for, until they stand before His

Judgment seat. Because they are so deceived today that they believe the lies

of these two churches without reservations. Many think their church knows

it better than God and His Word. Even some of the Minister (Pfarrers) I talked

to believe this.

 

Although God was surely disappointed over the unloving attitude of His

prime creation, mankind, He decided to try again to win man’s affection. He

decided to create His very own people and nation. To them He would give all

His love. He would be like a father to them. He looked mankind over and

found a man with the characteristics of Noah. He tested him and this man did

not disappoint Him. Abraham was in everything He commanded him

completely or blindly obedient. (Gen. 12:1-4; chapter 22; Jam. 2:20-24)

 

To be “blindly obedient” is for most people today a foreign expression.

Especially the younger generation will not understand that. For that reason,

it is very hard for many to become real followers of Jesus Christ. Few today

believe on absolute Truth or absolute commandments of God.

 

One reason is the hypocrisy of the churches and its leaders. Most, as

the Apostles Paul and Peter foretold, try to make their churches a place where the

unsaved and wicked people feel at home, where they don’t have to change and

obey the will of the Lord. (2. Tim. 4:3,4; 2. Pet. 2: 2, 3) Some even say that

homosexuality is from God. (More about this theme in Lesson # 44)

 

God promised Abraham, that through his descendants and especially

through one, the whole world would be blest (Gal. 3:15,16). In later texts

and lessons we will learn more about this one descendant or seed of Abraham.

This descendant or seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob came as promised. Not

in the days of Abraham, but He came to this earth.

 

Through the people or nation God had created for Himself, the Israe-

lites or Jews, the descendants of Abraham, Jesus Christ came into this world.

 

He was the promised blessing to Abraham for all the nations of the

world.

 

         This Jewish nation and people were also used to give the world another

great blessing of God. It was determined by God for them to crucify their
