Hi folks,
You all know that I am too busy in my own forum 'Ask Ger'; also up here, I have not so much opportunity to go elsewhere on this well- visitid forum, because I have also other appointments: in Holland, Belgium and Germany..
But now I am here and there is much talk about ' demons' . But there are so many aspects more. Let us focus for some moments on angels, that is to say: angels who are on the side of God.
There is so much to say about them. . In Matthew 1 v 21 an angel reassured deadly dismayed Josef, Mary´s bridegroom. In Mathew 2 v 13 there is anew an angel with important, life-saving instuctions for Josef. And so as these two textes I find in my concordance in the New Testament alone already hundreds of finding places, where is spoken of these kind helpers, about whom Hebrews 1 v 14 is speaking, when it says: " Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation".
And when we have spoken a thousand times about angels, there is ' the baptizm with the Holy Spirit'. About the Holy Spirit there are hundreds of finding places in the New Testament. And when we have spoken a thousand times about these delightful things, there is 'the congregation', also called 'the church', which is meant to be the bride of Jesus and which has as a future what Eph 5 from v 25 is writing about her: " Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by his washing with water through the word and TO PRESENT HER TO HIMSELF as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish". And this is valid not only for the church as a whole, but for all the individual members.
This is the great issue, which makes us joyful.
And now I have not spoken about gifts and fruit of the Spirit, I am writing about all the ' hundred' aspects in my column ' ask Ger' and namely lin my biblestudies, But I am glad to point to the full richesses also here.
I shall be really happy if you all at this forum, so beloved by me, are happy. I don't believe that one can be really happy and blessed, when there is too much focus only on ' healing' or 'demons'.
Let us all be eagles and fly high to see all the possibilities and ' big issues'.
Greetings Ger
