GOD WAS JUST A DISTANT GOD
Do you believe that prayer changes people? Listen to Don and Hendrika tell they're amazing story of God pursuing both of them. God showed them through people and His word that He desired a personal relationship, not just a list of do's and don't.
Listen as they tell about making hard decisions to leave the Dutch Reformed church and how God again answered prayer, and lighted the way.

    Thanks for sharing, may God bless you for being faithful. We too left the old familiar life. Form and a way of life does not bring peace in the heart, but being born again thru surrendering all to Christ, brings peace and joy. Thanks again!

    Amen, and thank you for sharing! Matthew 19:29 And everyone who has left house or family, for Jesus' sake, will receive much more, and eternal life. I too experienced the forsaking all after experiencing forgiveness for my sins. I can relate so well. Thank you, and God bless you.

    Praise Jesus! Our story is very similar I grew up on a Hutterite farm as well and I knew something was always wrong but after leaving the last place I looked was in the bible so I had a rough bunch of years with addiction and other senseless things until I was introduced to a program called alpha and took my from ground zero and answered all the questions I had my whole life , through the gospel of Jesus my eyes were opened. My life took a 180 degree turn for the better. Now I’m married with a baby boy and a little farm along side a great community of believers. Thanks for sharing.

    He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21 NKJV should I rely on God's awesome forgiveness or do I play a role as well as in this verse it does tell me that I should keep his commandments

    • @STAND_FIRM
      @STAND_FIRM 2 года назад

      You can absolutely rely on God's awesome grace and forgiveness. He will never go back on His word. He is the one that saves, and He is the one that keeps. It is important to remember that He has won the victory over sin, death and hell and we can't add to that. He is the Victor, and we serve Him, and keep His commandments, because it shows our commitment and thankfulness to Him. We don't keep His commandments to keep us saved, Paul tells us in Colossians 2:6 "As you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, so walk in Him." How did we receive Him? By faith! How do we walk the Christian life? By faith! Keeping His commandments is living by faith and the Lord promises to manifest himself to us in a deeper way. That is so rewarding and exciting!

    The main thing is to be saved: thank JESUS for paying for your sins on the cross and HIS resurrection on the 3rd day!!! It must come from the bottom of your heart and don't forget that JESUS is GOD, see John 1! Listen to great theologians like Dr. John Ankerberg.

    Can’t understand why you had to leave Jesus saved me I except his free gift of salvation I pray my life , be it ever so imperfect sheds the love that I inherited thru faith in Jesus (Hutterite interpretation of the bible taught me that ) Would Jesus turn on a light amongst darkness and then take it away again so darkness can prevail?? Following Jesus is not easy regardless where your at, Jesus was a great example of that.

    • @STAND_FIRM
      @STAND_FIRM 2 года назад

      Thankful to the Lord for the free gift of salvation! It is my hearts desire that all my Hutterite friends and family would put their faith in Christ alone for salvation. John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me. You are familiar with Hutterite doctrine, as am I. Search out for yourself whether it measures up with the biblical truth, that the "right way" to eternal life is through Jesus Christ and His finished work on our behalf. May we cling only to Him! (1Cor. 2:2) Another of the Hutterite doctrines that I compared with scriptures was baptism. Colony baptism and scriptural baptism and scriptural baptism is very different. May the Lord give understanding as you search the scriptures. In looking at doctrine, the Bible is our standard and has the final say. Walking in the light exposes the darkness, and does not embrace/conform to teachings that are not fully supported in scriptures.

    Thank you for sharing your testimony. Until we know the Truth, we are never truly free. “More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ…” Philippians 3:8

    During my prayer time the other day, Jesus gave me this profound thought, He took all that pain for only one reason...LOVE! It brought me to tears & then i thought, can i do less? I don't mean actually dying for people, although one day it might happen through persecution & martyrs were killed, but what i mean by "pain" is stepping out of my comfort zone to witness, giving to the poor even though it might be my last dollar, giving up my "me" time to help someone in need...sacrifice, basically, charity, aka love.

    Praise God !!! What a wonderful testimony!!! So sad people spend their entire lives basing their “ Salvation”on “works”. I follow a girl that lives at Fort Pitt from what I understand their entire colony was excumicated from the Hutterite fellowship. They preach Salvation through Jesus Christ and Him alone. Keep sharing you have an amazing testimony. 💙Cheryl
