The Gift of New Life

05
Oct

1 Peter 1:3 – “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

The birth of a baby changes the parents’ lives forever. They no longer think the way they used to or do the things they once did. Everything in their life is impacted by the arrival of their new baby. New life has a way of transforming everything around it. When we are born again into the kingdom of God, we also get a new beginning.

Our new life resembles the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. We put to death our old self, habitual sins and past history. We awake into a new and glorious hope that Jesus Christ purchased for us. Through God’s abundant mercy, we’ve been gifted a new life and hope for a glorious future.

We cannot take our salvation for granted. God is merciful and kind but we cannot and must not take His gifts lightly. Whether it is the gift of new life He gave us when we put our trust in Him, or the daily gift of grace He showers on us, God’s gifts to us are precious. Let us live with the constant awareness of God’s presence in our lives and seek to make the most of this new life He has freely given us.

    Hello, I’m Patrick (46) from Germany near Aachen and I’m listeningVoices, I think they are demons. I am looking for someone who can pray me free in faith. I am a believer and attend a local free church. Several pastors have already tried to pray me free in faith.

    I am still searching.

    A sincere prayer is of great help.
    It ends up as an incense offering before God.
    I believe in the power of prayer.
    Pray that I find someone who can pray me freely.
    I have been searching for about 5 years and believe that God will help me.

    The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.

    (Revelation 8:4)

    P.S In addition to finding someone who can pray freely, prayer is a beautiful support for me. I am happy every time I read that my siblings are praying for me.

    Just do it.🙃

    The first time I was in Hilden.
    Then in Dortmund
    then in Aachen
    Then twice in Switzerland. The first time they started with pray, but i had to drive back in the evening. In the evening, there wasn’t enough time, I also waited almost 4 hours despite having an appointment. The second time, they didn’t even start, and I was sad about it.
    1 x at an event by Katrin Krick in Lage
    1 x in Minden
    1 x in Rheine on 11/17/23
    I believe that God also grants me the freedom so that I can serve Him fully. I’m sorry that I didn’t hold on to him when our marriage fell apart in 2007.
    In the year 2000, I found faith in jesus, got married, had a child (Paula, 20❤), became a home group leader, and was baptized in a Pentecostal church.
    I had fallen off from 2007 until 5 years ago. I have repented and turned back , and confessed and forsaken my sins. For that, I am grateful to Jesus that I had the opportunity to turn back.

    I was picked up by someone who was freed through prayer in faith. He picked me up from the train station, that was the last meeting. I was full of faith and hope. The boy who picked me up was schizophrenic with a medication regimen.
    In any case, we went to the Russian-German pastor who freed him in faith through prayer. He started praying… praying… questioning me… praying… only questioning me…That was it…
    He stopped before he was finished.
    I believe that Jesus also achieved liberation for me on the cross.

    I live as a Christian!!!!

    Please include me in your private prayer..maybe in the evening before you go to sleep..I would like to live even better..take care of myself, go to work..fasting with prayer..some things don’t work like that…praying that I can be free to God can serve… A sincere prayer is of great help..

    God’s blessing

    Greetings from Germany ,
