With gospel experiencing God in your heart and your body


Nine days ago I attended a performance of three gospel choirs in the church of the Evangelical Community in Nieuwegein *. I would like to tell you what I've experienced and ask You to comment on this. Did I experience it all correctly?

Everything you experience is correctly, it is what it is, it has a meaning, it is allright, but you’re asking if  your interpretation of what you have experienced fits with what actually happened over there?

Yes, that’s  what I meant, thank You

I will comment on your story.
Take your chance.

I went to the evening with my niece.
We both love You, we both love God, really. We are deeply religious, but maybe it’s better to say You are our first and our last, our everything, and we are both trying to get closer to You.
I'll stick to myself, but I heard afterwards she experienced about the same.

The choirs hadn’t begun yet, but I already felt touched in my heart.
But when they started to sing!
The joy of the gospels, the surrender, the devotion, the love for God, all of this became palpable when 120 people were singing. And we couldn’t stay sit after a while.
We had to sway, to clap, to sing along as well.
And at one point during a touching song I felt literally how my whole being was in love with You, I was filled with my love for You and I shouted energetically:"I love You, I love You, I love You".
And that feeling overwhelmed me so much I got tears in my eyes and my whole heart and my whole body were burning and lustering and expressing my love for You.

Someone else could say: wow this man is a fanatic.
But I say, the enthusiasm of everyone helped me to experience my love for You, and in a more complete way. And with my whole being and with my whole body as well, while often prayer happens in my head or in my heart.

In short: OhMy God, what was it moving, what was it fine,what am I happy with this energetical and physical experience with You.
It has been close to me for days, and when I think about it, it comes back again.
You are My love, My support, My everything, My God.
Well, and now I am anxious to hear from You.

You have put it aptly, and I tell you this, My son, do indeed look forward to this immediate and wonderful meeting with Me, rejoice you have experienced Me in your heart and your body, and know that you can experience this more often, each time when you plunge into the happening of a gospel meeting.
And comfort yourself with the realization that almost everyone that night has experienced this.
So powerful is the gospel.

This is how it works, the energy force, this accumulated energy, the spiritual chapel, the gestalt of energy of and around a gospel choir.
So what is happening exactly?
  • Singing together always gives energy, discharges tension and relates people to one group as a family, it's a real "coming together".
  • The theology of the gospel is extremely simple, you could say almost conservative and primitive, it is a very restricted but powerful message about God, about prayer, about Jesus. But actually that's not really important, not for the people themselves, not for the spiritual world, not really.
  • More important is one is making contact with the spirits of devotion, of surrender, of being together. With the spirit of love for each other and with the spirit of love for God. This devotional surrender is important, fundamental, essential, touches and supports and feeds the people. So much that many visitors are ranning for dear life from one gospel meeting to the next, experiencing this as a spiritual uplifting in their lives, as a power force, as bright light in their sometimes wretched existence.
  • This devotion often addresses God or Jesus, but for God it does not matter to whom one is adressing, as long as one is surrendering. So someone who is deeply touched, as you that night, through the prayer: "King Jesus is a listening when you pray". You had tears in your eyes, and you felt so much love that moment for Jesus. I am sharing this part, My son, and I am therefore very close to you. In the spiritual world there is no jealousy, and we are all just as excited as a human being opens up for us no matter what it concerns Mohamed or Tara, Buddha or Jesus, Jehovah or God.
  • This surrender, this devotion in gospel meetings will almost always be experienced in the heart. And God loves this a lot, because over there is the seat of love, over there the three  upper chakras and the three lower chakras are coming together, over there the crucifixion of the ego takes place, over there is the surrender of the physical to the spiritual, over there you will find the mystical rose, the chapel of the spiritual personality, over there God is waiting for Its human being. Love for each other, love for God are thus possible and easy, accessible and available, offered and experienced, felt and known.
  • And do know the gospel experience is manifesting itself  in the whole body, by the sway, by the standing, by stretching the arms upwardly, by keeping the hands to the sky, by standing with your feet on the ground . This allows a powerful flow from the old heavy energies to Mother Earth and therefore room will be made for the higher spiritual energies from above pooring into the body.Your bodies are connected to God’s transformer, and the energetical impact, the healing, the  spiritual power are huge.
  • Thanks to the African people, who have cherished better than the other races, the connection with the body, the respect for one's own body and respect for the functioning of the body. Gospel is a wonderful and by God cherished cross-fertilization of the Christian faith and the African respect for physical greatness. The Christians have it picked up by slavery in the New World. But the Jews, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Buddhists could have experienced it  with equal ease and with the same joy. But that's not what happened.
  • But the gospel as method is available to everyone, it is a quick, effective and attractive way to get closer to God.
The gospel choirs are blessed.

My blessings to you all

Do not tell, just ask




I was musing on the misunderstandings between people and realized then they often do not want to listen, they only want to tell the other their own story.
I got that insight probably from You, or was it my own mind?
Would you like to comment on this?

Is your thinking not also maintained by Me?
But it does not matter, if an insight of your thinking is yours or suggested by God, the question is whether it is true.

The spirit of wisdom is present among people when one
  • only talks about one is knowing of
  • listens first to the other
  • waits with one’s own story
  • realizes one own’s perspective is just one own’s perspective
  • realizes other people may have other views
  • not needs to hold a contest on insights
  • accepts different views aren’t threatful
  • accepts some one else can have his  own truth
  • realizes the truth of the other does not threaten its own truth
  • asks questions to the other
  • questions and questions deeper
  • asks open questions like: what do you mean?”
  • accepts God is in the other.
Actually, the guiding principle is: "Do not tell, just ask."
 
My blessings to you all

God is not a plumber


Many people pray as if God were a big aspirin pill; they come only when they hurt (B. Graham Dienert)

My God,
would You like to comment on this quote?

It’s not really God’s primary focus to make you feel comfortable.
Of course, God loves you and will help you and support you and comfort you and God teaches you the right direction.
But God is not a plumber.
Once something is leaking, you call the plumber who will fix it.
But God is not a plumber.

It really could be the case that the awkward situation you are end up in is totally arranged by God.
So if you pray to be freed from it, you ask the wrong thing.
Because maybe you guys should thank God for that awkward situation, because it will bring you exactly what is needed.
To realize something, to eliminate a blind spot, to get to know your little will, to change, this all could be possible.
So ask yourself what you are praying for.
And in all cases, if you do not know for sure what you are asking, say next “Thy will will be done”.
Then it's always good.

And it's always appreciated when you address to God not to get something, but only to thank for what you have received.

My blessings to you all

God is temporally powerless in man



My God, I was musing a little bit on the obstinacy of man and on Your omnipotence, and then I suddenly realized that you're actually quite dependent on our cooperation.
Would you like to comment on this?

My son, God is temporally powerless in man.
How can it be, while God is omnipotent in an infinite cosmos, and man is a void earthly creature?
And although God in this process is making Itself Deliberately and Knowingly totally dependent on the free will of man, God will have of course ultimately the better end of the staff.

For God is always effective, even if the will of man is allowed to come first, to serve first.
God's laws are always effective, maybe not always visible but indeed manifesto.
God's plans are always durable, if not always openly but for sure secretly.

And the will of  man is the first to go.
Man murdering and raping and torturing and being criminal, man losing oneself in small and big stupid deeds, man letting himself to be swayed by the ape of God.
Man first to go, led by the laws of God through a thousand detours to one goal:

The surrender of the own will to the Will of God.
The renunciation of the ego in favor of eternity.
The surrender of his mind to the laws of the cosmos.
The recognition by man that the only real freedom of man consists in to give away its freedom to God.

And God knows this.
God knows this is ultimately the only way.
Therefore, God is accepting His total powerlessness in men.
For it is only for a short time.

My blessings to you all
