Prophecy
I’m privileged.
First of all, because I grew up in a wonderful Dutch family.
My parents had a living relationship with the LORD God. I followed their example, and accepted the Lord Jesus when I was a young boy.
The full gospel meetings we attended in Amsterdam, held regular communion services. During that time, everyone received from the pastor, or someone else, a word of encouragement or prophecy. This was taped and afterwards we received the typed message.
I kept them all, and I am amazed about the line of thought, the unity in these words of prophecy, not only in those years, but also later, when other servants of God had a message for me. During our wedding service, the Lord blessed us with a special word of encouragement.
Reading through these special, treasured words, I’m amazed to see that nearly all of them are fulfilled.
The central message that kept coming back was that the LORD had seen my desire to serve Him. I had to be silent before Him; he would open the doors in my life, in order that I would be able to share His word with many people.
This all has materialized and is still in process. Hallelujah!
I was able to lead Bible study groups, preach during church services, and in recent year, I’ve begun to write weekly updates, with spiritual messages. God has used it to bless others. His Word (literally) goes out from Jerusalem. What an awesome privilege!
I’m privileged beyond measure, because I received a wonderful helpmate from the LORD.
Together, we serve Him, and experience that His hand is stretched out towards us, and that He is faithful.
(This was part of the promise God gave us during our wedding service.)
Since 1989 we have the privilege to live and work in Jerusalem. Here we may foster three precious, special needs, children. Giving them a home and loving care, we help them on their very difficult journey to adulthood.
“…for I, the LORD, go a special way with you.”
