THE OFFERING OF PRAYER

 
 
YOU HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE OFFERING OF ABRAM.
ABRAM OFFERED ANIMALS TO GOD.
YOU CAN OFFER ALL KIND OF THINGS TO GOD.
YOU CAN OFFER ANIMALS TO GOD. YOU CAN OFFER MONEY TO GOD. YOU CAN ALSO OFFER GOOD IDEAS TO GOD.
WHEN I WRITE THIS BOOK, THAT ALSO IS AN OFFERING TO GOD.
 
ALL WHAT YOU DO HAS TO BE OFFERED TO GOD.
TO OFFER TO GOD MEANS TO CONNECT TO GOD.
TO OFFER TO GOD MEANS TO GIVE TO GOD.
TO OFFER TO GOD MEANS TO BECOME UNITED WITH GOD.
 
ONE OF THE OFFERINGS THAT WE GIVE TO GOD IS PRAYER.
PRAYER MEANS TO SPEAK TO GOD.
WHEN YOU SPEAK TO GOD, YOU MUST ALSO LISTEN TO GOD.
NOBODY LIKES IT WHEN YOU SPEAK, YOU SPEAK AND YOU NEVER STOP TO SPEAK.
WHEN YOU PRAY TO GOD, THEN YOU MUST ALSO LISTEN TO GOD’S ANSWER.
 
WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE, YOU MUST PRAY BEFORE YOU DO IT, YOU MUST PRAY WHILE YOU DO IT, AND YOU MUST PRAY AFTER YOU HAVE DONE IT.
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU WORK IN THE GARDEN, YOU MUST FIRST ASK GOD IF IT IS GOD’S WILL TO WORK IN THE GARDEN. YOU ALSO MUST ASK GOD HOW TO DO THE WORK IN THE GARDEN. YOU CAN ASK GOD WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORK IN THE GARDEN.
WHEN YOU DO THE WORK, YOU MUST DO IT WITH A GOOD SPIRIT. THAT MEANS THAT WHILE YOU WORK, YOU MUST PRAY TO GOD.
WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED THE JOB, YOU MUST OFFER YOUR WORK TO GOD. THIS YOU DO THROUGH PRAYER.
 
IN ALL OFFERINGS, PRAYERS ARE INCLUDED.
WHENEVER YOU GIVE SOMETHING TO GOD, YOU MUST ALSO OFFER THAT IN PRAYER.
SUPPOSE THAT YOU HAVE BIRTHDAY AND YOU GET A PRESENT BUT THE PERSON WHO GIVES IT SAYS NOTHING TO YOU…
WOULD THAT NOT BE VERY STRANGE?
WOULD YOU LIKE THE GIFT THAT YOU GOT?
YOU WOULD NOT SO LIKE IT ANYMORE.
IT IS NORMAL THAT WHEN YOU GIVE SOMETHING TO SOMEONE, THAT YOU ALSO SAY SOMETHING.
YOU SAY, FOR EXAMPLE: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THIS IS MY GIFT FOR YOU.”
OR YOU SAY: “DEAR BROTHER, YOU HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR ME, THEREFORE I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS BEAUTIFUL GIFT.”
 
IN THE SAME WAY YOU MUST SPEAK TO GOD.
YOU GIVE SOMETHING TO GOD, AND THEN YOU SPEAK TO GOD.
ABRAM SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN TO GOD BEFORE HE GAVE THE OFFERING TO GOD.
ABRAM SHOULD ALSO HAVE SPOKEN TO GOD WHILE HE WAS CUTTING THE ANIMALS IN TWO.
ABRAM DID SPEAK TO GOD AFTER HE FELL IN A DARK SLEEP. BUT THEN IT WAS ALREADY A LITTLE TOO LATE.
 
ABRAM DID NOT PRAY SO SERIOUSLY BEFORE HE BROUGHT THE OFFERING TO GOD.
ABRAM OFFERED WITHOUT THINKING MUCH.
ABRAM WAS NOT SO SERIOUS. HE DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO, BUT HE DID IT WITHOUT LOVE FOR GOD.
 
ALL OFFERINGS THAT YOU BRING TO GOD MUST BE GIVEN IN THE RIGHT WAY.
THAT ALWAYS MEANS THAT YOU PRAY TO GOD IN A SERIOUS AND DIRECT WAY.
 
BUT THE PRAYER ITSELF IS ALSO AN OFFERING.
I WANT TO EXPLAIN YOU A LITTLE MORE ABOUT PRAYER.
PRAYER IS AN OFFERING TO GOD.
THAT MEANS THAT YOU GIVE YOUR PRAYER TO GOD.
THE OFFERING OF PRAYER MUST ALSO BE PURE.
YOU CANNOT JUST SAY ANYTHING TO GOD.
 
DID YOU SOMETIMES SEE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK A LONG PRAYER BUT THEY HAVE NO LOVE IN THEIR HEART FOR GOD?
SOME PEOPLE PRAY LIKE THAT. THEY READ THEIR PRAYER AS IF IT IS FROM A BOOK.
OR THEY MAKE THE PRAYER SOUND VERY NICE, BUT ACTUALLY IT IS MORE LIKE A PLAY, LIKE AN ACT. SUCH A PRAYER IS NOT REAL.
WHEN YOU SPEAK TO GOD, YOU ALWAYS MUST SPEAK WITH MUCH RESPECT FOR GOD.
AND YOU MUST HAVE DEEP LOVE FOR GOD.
YOU MUST ALSO BE HUMBLE.
YOU MUST KNOW THAT GOD IS THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR.
YOU CANNOT TREAT GOD AS YOUR SERVANT.
 
SOME PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ASKING GOD TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR PROBLEMS.
THEN YOU TREAT GOD AS IF HE IS YOUR SERVANT.
IT IS VERY WRONG TO DO THAT.
WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU CAN ASK GOD TO HELP YOU.
BUT YOU MUST BE SERIOUS THEN.
YOU MUST ALSO KEEP YOUR PROMISES TO GOD THAT YOU WILL DO WHAT GOD TELLS YOU TO DO.
YOU HAVE TO SOLVE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS.
GOD CAN HELP YOU, BUT YOU MUST DO WHAT GOD SAYS TO YOU.
 
PRAYER TO GOD IS AN OFFERING.
AN OFFERING IS A GIFT.
AND A GIFT IS SOMETHING THAT GOD MUST LIKE.
YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT GOD LIKES YOUR PRAYER.
GOD MUST FEEL HAPPY WHEN YOU SPEAK TO GOD.
 
WHEN YOU HAVE DONE YOUR OWN THINGS DURING THE DAY, THEN YOU HAVE BECOME IMPURE.
WHEN YOU ARE IMPURE, YOU CANNOT SPEAK A NICE PRAYER TO GOD.
ABRAM WAS IMPURE WHEN HE BROUGHT THE OFFERING.
THEREFORE, ABRAM COULD NOT PRAY IN THE RIGHT WAY.
HE WAS A LITTLE ARROGANT.
 
BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD PRAYER, YOU MUST CLEANSE YOURSELF.
ACTUALLY, YOU CAN ONLY PRAY RIGHT IF YOU HAVE DONE GOD’S WILL.
YOU CANNOT DO EVIL THINGS AND THEN JUST GO TO GOD IN PRAYER.
YOU CANNOT PRAY TO GOD IN THE RIGHT WAY IF YOU ARE LIVING IN THE WRONG WAY.
 
SO, YOUR PRAYER BEGINS WITH YOUR GOOD LIFE.
WHEN YOU DO YOUR MISSION, THEN YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A GOOD PRAYER.
THEN YOU CAN OFFER YOUR PRAYER IN THE RIGHT WAY TO GOD.

GOD’S LOVE AND FALSE LOVE

 
 
EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT LOVE. NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT LOVE IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME. THERE IS GOOD LOVE. AND THERE IS BAD LOVE.
 
LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN YOU THE DIFFERENCE. YOU CAN DRINK MILK, AND THIS MILK TASTES GOOD. YOU LIKE TO DRINK IT. IT DOES GOOD TO YOU. THIS IS LIKE GOD’S LOVE. IT IS GOOD LOVE.
 
BUT SUPPOSE SOMEONE EVIL CAME AND HE PUT POISON IN THE MILK? NOW YOU DRINK THE MILK. YOU DO NOT TASTE THAT THERE IS POISON IN THE MILK. THE MILK IS JUST MILK, THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE STRANGE TASTE TO IT. YOU DRINK THE MILK. YOU LIKE IT. BUT SOON AFTER THAT YOU FEEL SICK. OH, YOU FEEL SO SICK. THAT COMES FROM THE POISON IN THE MILK. YOU DIE FROM THAT POISON, STILL YOU COULD ALMOST NOT TASTE THAT IT WAS IN THE MILK.
 
THE GOOD LOVE COMES FROM GOD. THE EVIL LOVE DID ORIGINALLY ALSO COME FROM GOD, BUT SOMEBODY PUT POISON IN IT. IT WAS THE SNAKE SATAN WHO PUT POISON IN IT. OR SOMEONE WHO IS FRIENDS WITH THE SNAKE SATAN DID IT. THE POISON DOESN’T COME FROM GOD. YOU MUST NEVER DRINK LOVE THAT WAS MADE POISONOUS BY SATAN.
 
IN MILK, THERE IS SOME LOVE. BUT WHERE IS THE MOST LOVE? MOST LOVE IS IN MAN. ALSO ANGELS HAVE LOVE. THEREFORE, MAN AND ANGELS ARE NICEST TO MEET. BUT THEY CAN ALSO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS TO MEET.
 
YOUR BROTHER, YOUR SISTER, GIVES LOVE TO YOU. THAT IS NICE. LOVE IS NICE. BUT WHAT IF HE OR SHE PUT SOME POISON IN IT? IT ALMOST TASTES THE SAME, BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
 
WHEN YOU RECEIVE GOOD LOVE, GOD’S LOVE, YOU YOURSELF GROW IN GOODNESS. BUT WHEN YOU RECEIVE BAD LOVE, EVIL LOVE, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT FIRST TASTE RATHER GOOD, LATER YOU DIE FROM IT.
 
EVERYONE MUST ALWAYS CHECK THE LOVE. THE MILK YOU GET FROM GOD IS GOOD MILK. BUT THE LOVE YOU GET, IT CAN BE GOOD, OR IT CAN BE THAT THERE IS SOME POISON IN IT.

WHEN YOU ASK YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, THEN YOU KNOW WHICH LOVE IS GOOD, WHICH LOVE IS EVIL. HE WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU. THEREFORE, BEFORE YOU ACCEPT LOVE, ALWAYS ASK GOD IF IT IS GOOD LOVE.

THE FOUR-POSITION FOUNDATION

 
 
 
GOD CREATED THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. WHEN YOU MAKE SOMETHING, YOU CANNOT JUST DO IT WITHOUT ORDER. YOU CANNOT MAKE SOMETHING GOOD IN CHAOS. FROM CHAOS, ONLY MORE CHAOS COMES.
 
THIS CHAPTER IS ABOUT THE FOUR-POSITION FOUNDATION. THE FOUR-POSITION FOUNDATION IS THE NAME OF WHAT IS CALLED THE STRUCTURE OF EVERYTHING CREATED BY GOD.
 
WHAT IS STRUCTURE? STRUCTURE IS: WAY OF BUILDING, WAY OF CONSTRUCTION.
 
FOR INSTANCE, A HOUSE HAS FOUR WALLS AND A ROOF. THIS IS SO FOR EACH NORMAL HOUSE. THE FOUR WALLS AND THE ROOF IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE HOUSE.
 
YOUR BODY HAS TWO LEGS, A TRUNK AND TWO ARMS AND A HEAD. ALL THAT FORMS THE STRUCTURE OF THE BODY.
 
THE FOUR-POSITION FOUNDATION IS THE NAME FOR THE STRUCTURE OF EVERYTHING CREATED BY GOD.
 
THE WORD IS VERY SIMPLE. FOUR = FOUR. THERE ARE FOUR POSITIONS. WHEN THERE ARE FOUR POSITIONS, THERE IS A FOUNDATION. FOUNDATION MEANS: SOMETHING ON THAT YOU CAN STAND, SOMETHING THAT IS A BASIS, SOMETHING THAT MAKES STRENGTH.
 
WHENEVER GOD CREATES SOMETHING, GOD ALWAYS MAKES A FOUR-POSITION FOUNDATION. GOD ALWAYS MAKES THAT STRUCTURE TO BUILD SOMETHING GOOD. THIS IS GOD’S SECRET HOW GOD CREATES EVERYTHING.
 
HOW DOES GOD MAKE A FOUR-POSITION FOUNDATION? THE FIRST POSITION IS ALWAYS GOD. GOD HIMSELF IS ALWAYS THE FIRST POSITION.
 
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE GOD AND YOU WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW? YOU WOULD TAKE SOMETHING THAT YOU ALREADY CREATED. THIS IS WHAT GOD DOES. GOD TAKES SOMETHING, OR SOMEONE ALREADY CREATED. THAT WHAT GOD TAKES OR USES TO WORK WITH OR THROUGH, THAT IS THE SECOND POSITION.
 
THEN WHAT COMES NEXT? GOD USES THE SECOND POSITION TO INFLUENCE OR WORK ON SOMETHING ELSE THAT WAS ALREADY THERE. THAT IS THE THIRD POSITION.
 
FINALLY, OUT OF GOD’S WORK WITH THE SECOND AND THIRD POSITIONS, THERE COMES OUT SOMETHING NEW-CREATED. THAT NEW-CREATED IS THE FOURTH POSITION.
 
ALL THIS WORKS OF COURSE ONLY WHEN ALL POSITIONS ARE FULLY UNITED WITH GOD. ALL POSITIONS CAN BE FULLY UNITED WITH GOD WHEN THEY HAVE A RELATION OF MUTUAL GIVING WITH GOD. AND OF COURSE, ALL POSITIONS MUST ALSO HAVE MUTUAL GIVING WITH EACH OTHER.
 
LET US NOW LOOK AT AN EXAMPLE. GOD, IN THE FIRST POSITION, GOES TO ADAM. ADAM IS THE SECOND POSITION. WHEN GOD WANTS TO USE ADAM TO CREATE SOMETHING, THEN ADAM MUST BE FULLY UNITED WITH GOD. OR, ADAM MUST HAVE A RELATION OF MUTUAL GIVING WITH GOD. ADAM MUST DO EVERYTHING WHAT GOD WANTS.
 
THEN, GOD AND ADAM UNITED GO TO EVE. IN WHICH POSITION STANDS EVE? IN THE THIRD POSITION. EVE ALSO MUST HAVE A RELATION OF MUTUAL GIVING WITH GOD, AND ALSO WITH ADAM. THEN, WHEN GOD, ADAM AND EVE ARE ALL UNITED IN LOVE, THEN GOD CAN CREATE SOMETHING NEW. GOD CAN MAKE THE FOURTH POSITION, THAT IS ADAM’S AND EVE’S CHILD.

THE STORY OF THE TREES

 
 
 
DO YOU KNOW WHY THE TREES ARE THERE? THIS STORY OF THE TREES TELLS YOU THIS.
 
GOD CREATED EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD. THE EARTH WAS CREATED. THE SKY WAS THERE. THE SUN WAS SHINING. THE MOON GAVE LIGHT IN THE DARK NIGHTS. THE SKIN OF THE EARTH WAS BEAUTIFUL GREEN FROM FRESH GRASS. FLOWERS MADE RED, YELLOW, BLUE AND PURPLE SPOTS IN THE GREEN. BUT SOMETHING WAS MISSING.
 
GOD SENT HIS ANGELS TO THE EARTH. “YOU MUST LAY YOURSELF DOWN IN THE GRASS,” GOD SAID TO HIS ANGELS. “YOU MUST LOOK TO THE CLOUDS IN THE SKY, AND THEN YOU MUST FIND OUT WHAT IS MISSING.”
 
THE ANGELS DID WHAT GOD ASKED THEM. THEY LAID THEMSELVES ON THE GRASS, AND IT WAS VERY NICE. THEY WALKED OVER THE FIELDS, AND IT WAS VERY NICE.
 
GOD WAS WAITING. HOW LONG IT TOOK, UNTIL THE ANGELS FOUND ABOUT GOD’S PROBLEM! THE ANGELS NEVER CAME BACK.
 
GOD HIMSELF WENT DOWN TO THE EARTH. HE CALLED HIS ANGELS AND ASKED THEM HOW THEY FELT. “OH, I FEEL VERY NICE,” THEY SAID. “BUT WHO ARE YOU?” GOD WAS VERY SHOCKED. THE ANGELS DID NOT KNOW HIM ANYMORE. AND HOW BORED THEY WERE LOOKING! MOST OF THEM WERE SLEEPING. NONE OF THEM WAS INSPIRED TO DO SOMETHING.
 
GOD WENT BACK TO HEAVEN AND BEGAN TO THINK. SOMETHING WAS REALLY MISSING. BUT WHAT?
 
FINALLY, GOD FOUND IT. EVERYTHING ON EARTH WAS FLAT. YOU COULD SAY, HORIZONTAL. THERE WAS NOTHING ON EARTH THAT TOLD YOU TO THINK ABOUT GOD. NOTHING THAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO HIGHER. NOTHING THAT MADE YOU DREAM ABOUT THE FUTURE, ABOUT THE WIDE UNIVERSE, ABOUT GOD HIMSELF.
 
THAT WAS MISSING! THEN GOD INVENTED THE TREES. GOD THOUGHT: “I MAKE TREES EVERYWHERE. THEN EVERYONE WHO SEES THE TREE MUST ALSO LOOK UP. AND WHEN THEY LOOK UP, THEY MUST THINK ABOUT ME.” THIS IS WHAT GOD THOUGHT.
 
GOD MADE BEAUTIFUL TREES. GOD WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE WOULD BE BORED ANYMORE. THAT EVERYONE WOULD SEE A TREE THAT HE OR SHE LIKED MOST, AND THEN THIS PERSON WOULD LOOK UP, AND THINK ABOUT GOD. THEN EVERYONE WOULD FEEL ALWAYS HAPPY, AND NEVER BE BORED AGAIN.
 
GOD ALSO THOUGHT: “THE TREES ARE LIKE MY OWN CHILDREN. MY CHILDREN ALSO MUST ALWAYS WALK STRAIGHT, WITH THEIR HEADS CLOSE TO ME, THEIR FATHER.”
 
THE ANGELS WERE VERY HAPPY. THEY LIKED THE TREES VERY MUCH. WHEN ANGELS SEE TREES, THEY MUST ALWAYS THINK ABOUT GOD’S CHILDREN. AND THEN THEY THINK ABOUT GOD. THEY LOVE GOD THEN SO MUCH. THE ANGELS LOVE GOD BECAUSE THEY SEE GOD IN HIS CHILDREN. AND THEY LOVE THE TREES, BECAUSE THROUGH THE TREES THEY WERE NEVER BORED AGAIN.

GOD OUR PARENT

Do you know God? God is our Father. God is your Father. God loves you. God loves me. God loves everyone who is good.

God lives in Heaven. Where God lives, there is Heaven. Heaven is to give love. God always gives love. God’s love, that makes heaven. In God’s love, you feel good.

You are God’s child. You are God’s son, or you are God’s daughter. A child is like the father, and also like the mother. We call God – our Father. But God is also our Mother. I am God’s child. You are God’s child. I am like God. You are like God. God gives always love. I give always love. You give always love – That is to be like God. That means: to be God’s child.

God loves you. God loves your brother. God loves your sister. When you love God, you also love your brother, you also love your sister. You are all children of the same God, the same Father.

God is always with you. You are never alone. You can always speak with God. You can hear God’s voice in your heart. God always loves you. God always helps you. When you feel alone, you must tell it to God. Then you are not anymore alone, because God is with you. God is your Father, and God loves you.

God made all beautiful things for you. God made for you the sun. God gave to you your parents. God gave a home to you. God made the trees for you. God makes the birds sing a beautiful song for you.

God also smiles to you, when your brother or sister smiles to you. Each smile of love, that is God’s smile. God made the animals for you. God made the food for you. God gave the angels to take care for you.

God is not always happy. Sometimes God must cry, when people do bad things. Then, when you talk with God, you also feel to cry. God does not like it to see people suffer. God does not want it when you feel pain. Then God cries tears for you. Then you must help God, to make it good again.

Sometimes God is angry. When people do evil. When people hate each other. Then God shows his power. God is very strong. God is a God of power. This you can see in the thunder and the lightning.

Evil people should better be afraid for our Father.

God does everything out of love – love for you, love for your brothers and sisters. God wants only the best for you. We must give all our love to God, because God is good.
