– Hi! How are you doing?

The question we should ask instead is: 

– Hi! Where are you looking?

Because the state of our heart doesn't really depend on what we're going through but on what we're looking at! Are you looking at your problem or at the solution, Jesus? 

Example of something that just happened to me:

Money issue

 Uh…warning!

 Taking me aside, the workshop's accountant announces to me that our numbers are in the red… again! 

– Oh well… business as usual!

But she insists: –uh… it's never been as bad; this time we're 120,000 CHF short! 

Ouch! Doesn't sound good… I ponder.

I've already been where there was nothing for my family to eat, and God provided with a miracle: someone rang at my door with all the ingredients to cook a meal (the idea had come to them out of the blue) 

Are we a more complicated miracle for God? Absolutely not! 

So, I calmly tell my accountant: 

– Don't worry, God will provide! I went back to my work in peace. I'm working on a beautiful parable that I know will touch a lot of people. Everything's fine (and beyond).

Looking at the concern

But a little later, my wife sends me a text message to tell me we can't use our credit card any more. The anxiety I had been able to shush, suddenly kicked in. 

Disquieted by this new information, I tend to look at it. I didn't sleep well at all that night. 

Money

The next day, I went to church and during the offerings the Lord told me: 

– Give the 5 CHF you've got. 

I hesitated:

– Uh, u sure…? But I opened my wallet and as I was holding the coin, I remembered it had "Dominus providebit", ("God will provide"), written on its edge.

So, I gave it and after my nap (back home, not during the preaching!), bam! I get up with this haunting thought:

 – Go visit so-and-so! 

I really wanted to see them again, on top of it. But I didn't feel like taking the car. So, I started arguing:

– But Lord! I don't have enough fuel. I'll be ridiculous if I run dry. 

– Go!!

(okay! okay!) So I visit these people and we catch up. I'm thrilled to see them again. 

As I'm about to leave, they stop me: 

– Wait, we've got something for you! 

They handed me an envelope with 1,200 Euros. In shock, I tell them that I can't accept, that I… when I hear the Lord thinking inside me: 

– Accept! 

And as I'm driving back, He adds: 

– It's from me…

Later, I topped up (and not just the tank) So, yeah! I'm aware I still owe the bank a lot, and I don't have a clue where that money will come from, but… I'm looking in the right direction. So, I'm at peace and more than okay.

- Salut, comment ça va?

La question que nous devrions plutôt poser est:

- Salut, où regardes-tu?

 

Car notre état de cœur ne dépend pas tant de ce qui nous arrive, mais d'où on regarde! Est-ce que tu regardes à ton problème ou à la solution, à Jésus?

 

exemple,

avec un truc qui vient de m’arriver:

 

L’exemple de la thune

 

Heu…alarme!

 M’ayant pris à part, la comptable de l’atelier m’annonce une fois de plus que nous sommes dans les chiffres rouges…

- Bah la routine coa!

mais elle insiste: - heu… ça n'a jamais été si grave, cette fois il nous manque 120’000.- CHF/Euro!

Ouh là ! C’est vrai qu' on est mal… je réfléchis.

Je me suis déjà retrouvé avec plus rien à manger pour le lendemain pour ma famille, et Dieu a pourvu par un miracle: quelqu’un était venu sonner à la porte avec ce qu’il fallait pour cuisiner un repas (elle a eu cette lubie comme ça). 

Est-ce que cette somme est un miracle plus compliqué pour Dieu? Absolument pas. 

Alors, tranquille, je réponds à ma comptable:

- Tqt, Dieu pourvoira! Tranquille, je suis retourné à mon travail. J’écris une belle parabole en livre, et je sais que ça touchera beaucoup de gens, ça va bien (le kiff, même)

 

Regards vers le souci

Mais plus tard, ma femme m’envoie un sms pour me dire qu’il ne nous faut vraiment plus faire de courses avec la carte qui est trop en-dessous. Mon inquiétude, que j’avais réussi à mettre en veille, s’est mise en branle. 

Perturbé par cette nouvelle info, j’ai un peu tendance à regarder vers elle pour gamberger. J’ai très mal dormi.

 

La thune

Le lendemain j’ai été à l'église et au moment de la collecte le Seigneur m’a dit:

- mets les 5.- francs que tu as.

J’ai hésité:

- Heu,t’es sûr…? Mais j'ai ouvert mon porte-misère, et au moment où j'avais la pièce dans la main, je me suis rappelé que sur sa tranche, il est écrit: «Dominus providebit», («Dieu  pourvoira»).

Alors je l’ai donnée et après une bonne sieste, (heu pas pendant la prédication, après, de retour chez moi!), 

paf, je me lève avec cette pensée obsédante:

 - va visiter telle personne!

En plus, j’ai trop envie de revoir ces gens, mais j’hésite grave car il me faut prendre la voiture. Alors j’argumente:

- mais Seigneur et si je n’ai plus assez d’essence pour rentrer, j’aurai l’air malin avec ma panne sèche 

- va!!

(bon okay! okay!) Je vais voir ces gens, pour prendre de leurs nouvelles et j’ai trop de joie à les revoir. Au moment de retourner chez moi, ils me retiennent:

- attends, on a quelque chose pour toi!

ils tendent une enveloppe avec 1200.- Euros . Sous le choc, je leur dis que non, que ça me gêne, que…quand j’entends le Seigneur penser en moi:

- accepte! 

et sur mon chemin de retour, il ajoute:

- c’est de ma part…

Alors, plus tard et à plus d’un titre, j’ai fait le plein. Alors oui, je sais, il reste une grosse dette, je ne suis pas tiré d'affaire, et je n’ai aucune idée d'où ça viendra, mais… je regarde au bon endroit et donc je vais super bien, je suis en paix. 

 

“J'ai cherché l'Eternel, et il m'a répondu; Il m'a délivré de toutes mes frayeurs. Quand on tourne vers lui les regards, on est rayonnant de joie, et le visage ne se couvre pas de honte.” Psaume 34: 4-5

 

Si jamais, je raconte ce témoignage dans le live 35:

[:de] HALLO, WO SCHAUST DU HIN?

 

-„Hallo, wie geht’s ? » 

Wir sollten die Frage lieber so stellen :

-« Hallo, worauf richtet sich dein Blick?  » 

Denn unser Herzzustand hängt nämlich nicht so sehr von dem ab, was uns passiert, sondern worauf wir unseren Blick richten ! Guckst du auf dein Problem oder auf den Ausweg, auf Jesus ?      

Hier ein Beispiel, das mir gerade passiert ist :

Die Sache mit der Knete…  

 

Äh …Alarm ! 

 Die Steuerberaterin des Ateliers hat mich zur Seite genommen, um mir einmal mehr mitzuteilen, dass wir in den roten Zahlen stehen… 

Naja, wie immer halt !- 

Sie betont : Äh, es war noch nie so schlimm wie dieses Mal, es fehlen uns 120 000.- CHF/Euro ! 

Ich denk, O nein, jetzt ist es richtig schlecht um uns bestellt! …Ich fange an zu grübeln.

Es ist mir schon passiert, dass ich für den nächsten Tag, für meine Familie nichts mehr zu essen hatte und Gott durch ein Wunder vorgesorgt hat. Jemand hat an der Haustür geklingelt und Proviant für ein Essen mitgebracht  (Diese ausgeflippte Idee kam ihr einfach so).

 Erfordert diese Geld(un)summe ein zu schwierigeres Wunder von Gott ? Sicher nicht ! 

Also antworte ich meiner Steuerberaterin ganz ruhig :

- „Bloß kein Stress, Gott wird dafür sorgen!“

Ich gehe getrost an meine Arbeit zurück. Ich schreibe im Moment ein schönes Gleichnis, dass ein Buch werden soll, und ich weiß, dass es viele Leute ansprechen wird. Alles paletti, ich krieg‘ gar den Kick!

 

 

Der Blick auf die Sorgen 

Aber später schickt mir meine Frau eine SMS, in der steht, dass wir die Kreditkarte zum Einkaufen gar nicht mehr benutzen dürfen, weil wir so tief im Minus sind. Freilich kommt die Besorgnis, die ich für eine Weile ruhiggestellt hatte, gleich wieder hoch.

Diese Nachricht bringt mich aus der Fassung und alles dreht sich um diese Gedanken. Es wird eine unruhige Nacht. 

 

Knete, Zaster, Pinke-Pinke !!

Am nächsten Tag, als in der Gemeinde das Opfer gerade eingesammelt wird, spricht der Herr zu mir: „Gib deine 5 Franken.“ 

Ich zögere. „Äh, bist du dir sicher ?“ Also öffne ich meinen Geldbeutel und im gleichen Moment, als ich das Geldstück in meiner Hand halte, erinnere ich mich, was auf der Kante geschrieben steht: „Dominus providebit“ (Gott wird dafür sorgen)

Ich spende es also und nach einem guten Mittagsschläfchen (He, nicht während dem Gottesdienst, sondern daheim !), wache ich mit diesem eindringlichen Gedanken auf : „Besuch doch diese Personen!“ 

Obwohl ich richtig Lust auf einen Besuch habe, bin ich wirklich unschlüssig weil ich dazu das Auto nehmen muss.  Ich fang‘ zu argumentieren an : Wenn ich dann  nicht genug Benzin für die Heimfahrt habe ? Ich würde doch blöd aussehen, wenn das Benzin ausginge ! « Geh !! »

Ja, ja, ist schon gut ! Ich guck‘ mal vorbei und frag‘ sie, wie’s ihnen so geht. Ich freu‘ mich schon, sie wiederzusehen. 

Beim Abschied halten sie mich mit den Worten zurück: „Warte mal, wir haben was für dich!“ Sie strecken mir einen Briefumschlag mit 12 000.- Euro entgegen. Unter Schock erwidere ich, nein doch, das ist mir gar nicht recht… als ich innerlich die Stimme des Herrn sagen höre: „Nimm es!“ Und auf der Heimfahrt fügt er noch hinzu : „ Das ist von mir…“

Etwas später tanke ich voll, und das in mehrerer Hinsicht. Ich weiß, ich bin noch nicht aus der Patsche gezogen, es bleibt noch ein großer Schuldenberg und ich hab‘ keinen Schimmer, woher Hilfe kommen wird, aber ich gucke auf die richtige Stelle und habe Frieden. 

 

„ Preiset mit mir den Herrn und lasst uns miteinander seinen Namen erhöhen !  Da ich den Herrn suchte, antwortete er mir und errettete mich aus aller meiner Furcht.” Psalm 34, 4-5

God's Answer to Luna

I received Luna's testimony by mail. It's so encouraging that I had to share it with you.

'Coz we're surrounded by more people like Luna than we think. When people in pain cry out to God, He hears!! Just bear in mind that His answer could very well be you!

 

Luna's Mail

Good evening Alain,

My heart is pounding tonight, and the Holy Spirit is gently repeating… “just write to him and say thanks”.

So here it is...

Let me introduce myself: Luna, 33 years old, two children and a doggie. I live in the south of France.

 

Jesus vs religion I met Jesus when I was a little girl. It was in His arms that I used to fall asleep. He was my friend, my best friend. My cuddle bubble...

Being from a Catholic background, my grandmother had immediately guided me towards religion. I was only 7 and had a very high fever, but I demanded to be baptized! I couldn't breathe because of the incense, and felt cramped in shoes that were too small. Spilled by the priest, three tiny drops were sprinkled on my neck and on my burning forehead, when I was craving to be entirely immersed in the marble basin filled with holy water!!!

Revolted! I quickly found out that religion was oppressive and cruel and I couldn't understand why our Lord had been crucified! Eventually, my faith turned into anger! I just couldn't accept it!

I mistook religion and Jesus and no longer wanted to be His friend anymore. And He didn’t force Himself on me…

From then on, I experienced devouring shame. Insanity crept in every corner of my misunderstood existence and led to marginalization and addiction. Looking back, I realize that even then, in the darkest moments of my life, Jesus was there.

Backtracking In 2018, I decided to turn away from evil! Thanks to the Alcoholics Anonymous, I found my way back to God. During 3 years, my children, Jesus and I, have known what it was like to be a happy little  family. 

But ouch! A brutal and unexpected, fusional and passionate relationship shattered it all to pieces. An argument finally broke the camel’s back, to the point that I thought I was gonna slip back into hatred and insanity… again.

That’s how on July 17th, I cried out: Help me Lord! I can’t do it on my own. I beg You to help me once again! Tell me what it is you want from me!!! What am I supposed to do?

 

Miracle! I had to go to work an hour later (I work at the flea market) and despite the emotional state I was in, I finally managed to set up my stand at the spot I was assigned. It was situated in the park of my village, at the foot of an iron cross surrounded by a fence (very convenient to hang my dresses). My stomach was hurting like hell and I had the feeling of being in a dark hole. 

Suddenly, a man and two women came up to me. One of the women said that the Lord had told her I could be in need.

I was shocked!

– Wait a minute! What?!? What Lord??

She answered: -Jesus. Are you hurting anywhere? I can pray for you if you wish…

I answered yes, thinking they would pray when back in their church!!! 

Instead, she put her hand on my stomach right there… My pain was gone before she even had time to say “In the mighty name of Jesus, I command the pain in Luna’s stomach to completely disappear, now!”! 

I was embarrassed but my stomach wasn’t hurting any more. I stood up and stepped back a little. My boyfriend seemed cross (he didn’t know I had cried for help).

When I asked them what their religion was, they answered:

- We don’t have any. We’re just disciples of Christ! But here’s another disciple’s calling card. She doesn’t live far from here. Call her. She’ll be able to help you. Incidentally, I had planned to go to that village the following day, in order to rest in the forest in the presence of my heavenly Father!!! 

So that’s how I met Orianne. She told me about the Gospel, about Jesus, about the living stones in the Church of Christ… just like in the book of Acts. 

She prayed for the Holy Spirit to come upon me. She gave me three gifts: a Bible, a comic book “Conventional Wisdom”, and another book “Meet me in the forest”!!! I couldn’t believe it!

There was no anger left in me. I knew I had experienced the biggest turn of my whole life! I was baptized on October 15th 2022.

So, this is my story. Now it’s time for me to say ‘good morning Alain!’. (‘coz it’s dawn). 

I hope that my yadda yadda wasn’t too awkward and confusing and I send you my most sincere and limitless gratitude for all that you give in your works*! 

May you and your beautiful family be blessed, dear brother. 

 

Luna

Luna et la réponse de Dieu

J’ai reçu le témoignage de Luna dans ma boîte mail. C’est si encourageant que je devais vous le partager.

Car il y a dans notre entourage plus de gens comme Luna qu’on ne le pense. Lorsque des gens dans la détresse crient à Dieu, Il entend!! Mais attention, il se pourrait bien que Sa réponse: ça soit vous!

 

Le courrier de Luna

Bonne nuit Alain,

Cette nuit, j'ai le cœur qui tambourine et l'Esprit Saint qui répète avec douceur... "écris-lui juste ton merci."

Alors voilà,

Je me présente: Luna, 33 ans, deux enfants et un toutou. J’habite dans les Cévennes.

 

Jésus vs religion J'ai rencontré Jésus lorsque j’étais petite fille. C'est dans ses bras que je m'endormais. C'était mon ami, mon meilleur ami. Mon nuage de douceur...

Mais issue d'une famille catholique, ma grand-mère m'a tout de suite orientée dans de la religion. Je n’avais que 7 ans et 40 de fièvre, mais je voulais me faire baptiser! L'odeur d'encens m'étouffait, et je me sentais à l'étroit dans des chaussures trop petites. Le curé m’a versé trois toutes petites gouttes dans ma nuque, sur mon front brûlant, alors que j'aurais voulu être plongée toute entière dans la bassine en marbre remplie d'eau bénite ce jour-là !!! 

Révolte! Mais j'ai vite trouvé la religion lourde et cruelle. Je ne comprenais pas qu'on crucifie notre Seigneur! Finalement ma foi s'est transformée en colère! Je me suis révoltée contre tout ça!

J’ai confondu la religion avec Jésus, et je ne voulais plus être son amie. Lui, il m'a jamais forcée… 

J’ai vécu alors la honte qui m'a dévorée, et la folie s'est incrustée dans tous les domaines de cette existence "d'incomprise", de marginale, de toxicomane. En y repensant, je vois que, pourtant, Jésus était toujours là, même dans les pires moments de ma vie. 

 

Retour En 2018, j'ai pris la décision maladroite de tourner le dos au mal!  Grâce aux rencontres des Alcooliques Anonymes, j'ai retrouvé Dieu. Pendant 3 ans, mes enfants, Jésus et moi-même avons rencontré le bonheur d'être enfin une petite famille.

Mais aïe aïe aïe, une relation brutale, inattendue, fusionnelle et passionnée a fait voler mes progrès en éclats. Tellement qu'après une dispute de trop, j'ai pris peur de craquer dans la haine, la folie...Encore. C’est ainsi que le 17 juillet, j'ai hurlé: - Au secours mon Dieu! Seigneur, je n'y arrive pas toute seule! je t'en supplie, aide-moi "encore" une fois! Dis-moi ce que tu attends de moi!!! Que dois-je faire?

 

Miracle! Une heure plus tard, je devais aller bosser (je travaille à un stand aux puces). Malgré l'émotion, j’ai finalement réussi à déballer mon stand à la place qui m’était assignée. C’était dans le parc de mon village, au pied d’une croix en zinc, avec une barrière tout autour (pratique pour y accrocher toutes mes robes). J'avais  très mal au ventre, je sentais comme un trou noir.

Soudain, un homme et deux femmes sont venus vers moi. L’une d’elle me dit que le Seigneur lui avait dit que peut-être j'avais besoin d'aide?

J’étais sur le choc! - Attends? Hein?? Quel Seigneur??

Elle me répond: -Jésus. Est-ce que tu as mal quelque part? Je peux prier pour toi, si tu en as besoin…

Je lui réponds "oui", en croyant qu'ils iraient prier plus tard dans une église !!!

Mais elle a aussitôt posé sa main sur mon ventre, et ma douleur a disparu avant même qu'elle dise d'une voix forte et autoritaire: - Au puissant nom de Jésus, que la douleur dans le ventre de Luna disparaisse complètement maintenant!

Gênée, mais libérée du mal, je me suis levée et mise à l'écart. Mon copain m'a regardée de travers (il ne savait pas que j'avais hurlé au secours).

Quand je leur ai demandé de quelle religion ils étaient, ils m’ont répondu: - Aucune, juste disciples de Christ! Mais voici la carte de visite d'une autre disciple qui habite pas loin d'ici. Appelle-la. Elle pourra t'aider. J’avais justement prévu d’aller dans ce village le lendemain, pour me reposer dans la forêt chez mon père qui habite là-haut!! 

C'est comme ça que j'ai rencontré Orianne (www.dedicaceopresent.fr) qui est venue jusqu'à moi et m'a parlé de l'évangile, de Jésus, des pierres vivantes de l'église de Christ… comme dans le livre des Actes. 

Elle a prié pour que le Saint-Esprit descende sur moi. Elle m'a fait trois cadeaux : une bible, une bd Idées reçues et un livre “Rendez-vous dans la forêt” !!! J'étais vraiment scotché !

La colère est partie de moi, je sentais que ma vie avait déjà pris le plus grand tournant de toute mon existence !Je suis passée par les eaux du Baptême ce 15 octobre 2022. 

Voilà mon histoire Alain, bonjour maintenant! (le jour se lève), et je t'envoie quelques photos pour illustrer mes blablabla confus et maladroits…Mais surtout mes sincères gratitudes infinies pour tout ce que tu donnes dans tes œuvres!

Sois abondamment béni toi et toute ta famille, mon frère ! Wouaw quelle magnifique famille!!!

It was situated in the park of my village, at the foot of an iron cross surrounded by a fence (very convenient to hang my dresses). My stomach was hurting like hell and I had the feeling of being in a dark hole. 

Suddenly, a man and two women came up to me. One of the women said that the Lord had told her I could be in need.

I was shocked!

– Wait a minute! What?!? What Lord??

She answered: -Jesus. Are you hurting anywhere? I can pray for you if you wish…

I answered yes, thinking they would pray when back in their church!!! 

Instead, she put her hand on my stomach right there… My pain was gone before she even had time to say “In the mighty name of Jesus, I command the pain in Luna’s stomach to completely disappear, now!”! 

I was embarrassed but my stomach wasn’t hurting any more. I stood up and stepped back a little. My boyfriend seemed cross (he didn’t know I had cried for help).

When I asked them what their religion was, they answered:

- We don’t have any. We’re just disciples of Christ! But here’s another disciple’s calling card. She doesn’t live far from here. Call her. She’ll be able to help you. Incidentally, I had planned to go to that village the following day, in order to rest in the forest in the presence of my heavenly Father!!! 

So that’s how I met Orianne. She told me about the Gospel, about Jesus, about the living stones in the Church of Christ… just like in the book of Acts. 

She prayed for the Holy Spirit to come upon me. She gave me three gifts: a Bible, a comic book “Conventional Wisdom”, and another book “Meet me in the forest”!!! I couldn’t believe it!

There was no anger left in me. I knew I had experienced the biggest turn of my whole life! I was baptized on October 15th 2022.

So, this is my story. Now it’s time for me to say ‘good morning Alain!’. (‘coz it’s dawn). 

I hope that my yadda yadda wasn’t too awkward and confusing and I send you my most sincere and limitless gratitude for all that you give in your works*! 

May you and your beautiful family be blessed, dear brother.

The primary source

“All things are from him and through him and for him" (Romans 11 :36, CEB)

God is the primary source of life. In Him, our deepest needs are met. And the good news is that, through His sacrifice, Jesus has given us open access to it.  

 

Err... but how?... 

Well…you just need to stop (by walking in the woods for example 😉) and fully open your heart. Spill it out, put your whole life on the table, let go of what you think you have, and seek God for real.  

The most important is that we need to seek Him, the primary source, before asking Him to fill one of our secondary sources.  

 

The secondary sources 

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights" (James 1:17, NIV)

 

‘Coz they indirectly come from Him,these precious and soothing gifts should be cherished, but without ever forgetting they are only temporary sources that cannot quench our thirst forever. 

 

Nature in its beauty is one of them. Those who admire it are in some way unknowingly in awe of its Creator. People who reject faith and can't name 'God', will talk about "strength" or "energy" 'coz too much crap is associated with the word. 

Animals, the ones we care for, love between us, friendship, tenderness, and all the moments that follow these: artistic expression, culinary art and so many other fields of interest have their source in Him. Wisdom, pleasure of learning, dreams and fantasy do bring us joy… and even sex (but hey! don't get excited! You’ve got to follow the manual 'coz, just as for many other things it’ll go south otherwise) In short, all of these come from Him too but are nothing else than secondary sources, if not tertiary. 

 

And what's most surprising is that believers are often not the ones to enjoy them most. 

 

What about church?

As for me, when I go to church (or on spiritual sites on the internet), I know I’m not drinking from the primary source but the secondary ones. I go for the pleasure of seeing everyone and encouraging them. If the time of praise and worship, the preaching, the prayers or whatnot aren't top shelf, it doesn't matter much, 'coz my primary source is in the forest with Jesus.

Those who bless you can only do so after having drawn the blessing from the primary source. In order to get top quality you have to go there yourselves. 

Speaking of which, I've got to go fill my "tank" (for free!!!)

 

"As the scriptures said concerning me: Rivers of living waters will flow out from within him" (John 7: 38, CEB)

La source primaire

“C'est de lui, par lui, et pour lui que sont toutes choses”

(Romains 11:36)

Dieu est la source primaire de vie. En Lui, il y a tout ce dont nous avons profondément besoin. Et bonne nouvelle!!! Jésus, par son sacrifice, nous en a ouvert l'accès direct.

 

Comment konfé?

bah…il s’agit juste de s’arrêter, (en marchant en forêt, par exemple 😉), et d’ouvrir son cœur sincèrement, tout dire, mettre sa vie sur la table, d'être près à abandonner ce qu’on croit avoir et savoir, d’écouter, de le chercher sans détour. 

Mais d’abord le chercher pour Lui, la source primaire, avant de Lui demander de combler une de nos sources secondaires.

 

Les sources secondaires

“Toute grâce excellente et tout don parfait descendent d'en haut, du Père des lumières” (Jacques 1:17)

 

Elles sont réconfortantes, car indirectement elles émanent de Lui. Il faut les soigner, car elles sont des présents précieux, mais sans jamais oublier que, puisqu’elles sont diluées avec de l'éphémère, elles ne peuvent pleinement satisfaire celui qui y boit.

La nature si belle en est une, et quelque part, ceux qui l’admirent sont en réalité émerveillés par son Créateur, sans le savoir et sans l’avoir. Les réfractaires à la foi ont de la peine à nommer “Dieu”, ils parleront de “force”, “énergie” pask y a plein d’images fausses collées sur ce mot. 

Les animaux, les proches, l’amour entre nous, l’amitié, les gestes, les moments qu’on peut en retirer, l’expression de l’art, du jeu, l’art culinaire, et un paquet de disciplines ont leur source en Lui. La sagesse, le plaisir d’apprendre, les rêves, l'imaginaire qui nous réjouissent et même le sexe (mais oula, on se calme! faut bien suivre le mode d’emploi, car ça (comme le reste) peut avoir l’effet inverse. Bref, tout ce qu’il y a de bon là-dedans émanent de Lui aussi, mais ça reste une source secondaire, voire tertiaire. 

 

Et étonnamment, ce ne sont pas toujours ceux que l’on dit croyants qui sont les plus à même d'en tirer le suc.

 

L'exemple de l’église

Perso, je ne vais pas à l’église (ou sur des sites spirituels) pour y boire à la source primaire, mais secondaire. C’est plutôt pour le plaisir de voir les autres, de les encourager. Si le “service” louange, prédication, prière ou chépas

 ne sont pas top, ce n’est pas vital pour moi, car ma source est dans la forêt, ou autrement dit, auprès de Jésus.

Ceux qui déversent des bénédictions sur vous ne peuvent le faire qu’après avoir puisé à la source primaire. Pour avoir de la pure, faut y aller soi-même. 

D'ailleurs, je vous laisse… je vais faire le plein (celui qui n’augmente pas et qui est offert!!!) 

 

«Celui qui croit en moi, comme a dit l'Écriture: "Des fleuves d'eau vive couleront de son sein"» Jésus (dans Jean 7:38).

 

On se voit à mon live tout à l’heure?

Hey! Et si vous veniez avec moi à la source? Facile, il suffit de cliquer ici, et on se retrouve ensemble à la forêt:

Die Urquelle 

« Denn von ihm und durch ihn und zu ihm sind alle Dinge.” Römer 11,36 Gott ist die Ursprungsquelle des Lebens. In Ihm gibt es alles, was wir im Tiefsten brauchen. Super Neuigkeit: Jesus hat uns durch sein Opfer den direkten Zugang dazu geschaffen!!   

 

Und was soll man jetzt machen ?   

Na, man sollte doch nur mal innehalten, (z.B. auf einem Waldspaziergang) sein Herz ehrlich öffnen, alles aussprechen, sein Leben auf den Tisch legen, bereit sein, dass was man glaubt zu haben und zu wissen, aufzugeben, Ihm zuhören und Ihn ohne Umwege suchen.

Aber vor allem Gott seinetwegen zu suchen, Ihn die Ursprungsquelle, bevor wir Ihn darum bitten, eine von unseren Sekundärquellen zu speisen. 

 

Die Sekundärquellen   

Alles, was Gott uns gibt, ist gut und vollkommen. Er, der Vater des Lichts, ändert sich nicht ; niemals wechseln bei ihm Licht und Finsternis. ” Jakobus 1,17

Sie sind tröstlich, weil sie indirekt von Ihm stammen. Man sollte sie pflegen, da sie wertvolle Geschenke sind, aber man sollte niemals vergessen, dass sie durch Vergängliches verwässert sind und deshalb niemals den Durstigen völlig befriedigen können.  

Die schöne Natur ist eine davon und eigentlich sind ihre Bewunderer, ohne es zu wissen, von deren Schöpfer entzückt. Die Glaubensgegner haben Mühe, « GOTT « zu sagen, sie sprechen lieber von « Kraft », « Energie », denn an diesem Wort haften viele falsche Vorstellungen an. 

 

Alles hat seinen Ursprung in Ihm, Tiere,  unsere Angehörigen, zwischenmenschliche Liebe,  Freundschaft, Gesten, wertvolle Augenblicke ,  Kunst,  Spiel, Kochkunst und so weiter und sofort… Weisheit,  Spaß am Lernen,  Träume, Phantasiefreude und sogar Sex (nur keine Panik ! Man muss doch die Gebrauchsanleitung beachten, sonst kann es zu einer unerwünschten Auswirkung -wie sonst alles andere auch- kommen!). Kurzum, alles was darin gut ist, stammt von Ihm, bleibt aber eine nebensächliche oder sogar drittrangige Quelle.

 

Erstaunlicherweise sind es nicht immer diejenigen, die man als Christen bezeichnet, die am fähigsten sind, das Beste daraus zu machen. 

 

Beispiel Gemeinde   

Ich persönlich gehe nicht in erster Linie zur Gemeinde (oder auf christliche Web-Sites), um dort an der Ursprungsquelle zu trinken, sondern an der Sekundärquelle. Es ist eher die Freude, die anderen zu sehen und sie zu ermutigen. Selbst wenn der Lobpreis, die Predigt, das Gebet oder sonst irgendetwas nicht so super sind, ist es nicht entscheidend für mich, denn meine Quelle befindet sich im Wald oder, anders gesagt, bei Jesus. 

 

Diejenigen, die über euch Segnungen ausgießen, können das nur, weil sie zuvor aus der Ursprungsquelle geschöpft haben. Um reines Quellwasser zu bekommen, muss man es schon selbst holen. 

Deshalb lass ich euch nun, ich möchte volltanken (ohne Preiserhöhung, ein Gratisgeschenk!!!)  

„ Wer an mich glaubt, von dessen Leib werden , wie die Schrift sagt, Ströme lebendigen Wassers fließen. « Johannes 8,38 »
