The arch of fire and the star above us |

In 1990
the pastor of a little |
|
However,
after a few weeks, because of some circumstances (I pass over them), I and my
brother wondered whether it was good for us to go away or not. We were
troubled and perplexed, we were on the point of leaving, even though that
would have meant to sleep on the park benches, inside the railway stations,
etc. However, while we were in that mood, during the evening worship service it
came to pass that while we were praying a Rumanian brother, who was standing
behind us, had a heavenly vision, which he told to the whole church after
prayer finished. He said to all the Church that he had seen above me and my
brother an arch of fire and a big star, and according to the insight and
understanding the Lord gave to him, the arch of fire was the Word of God,
that God has put in us, while the star was His guide for it meant that as God
guided the Wise men through the star to the place where the child Jesus was,
so He had guided us to that place and He would continue to guide us in the
future. |
|
To us, who
were in that particular situation, those words were like a balsam. We were
filled with a great joy, God turned our wailing into dancing, and our
mourning into gladness, and we were encouraged to continue to stay there,
being sure that the Lord wanted us to stay there and we should not doubt
about His guide even in the future for He would certainly guide us. |
|
The
incidents that happened during the following months confirmed clearly that we
had taken the right decision. God had kept us from leaving that place at that
time because His time had not yet come. |
|
To God be
the glory now and forevermore. Amen |
