Tune and Prepare!

Being able to help people in such an extraordinary way has given you a certain satisfaction, I suppose. I was very, very happy to see that some people were cured. But I never forgot who the Helper was. Whenever a letter like that came to me about healing, I would kneel down with those words: 'Look, My Saviour, this is for You, the thanks are for You,... but I can rejoice in this too, can't I? Were you also a pastor of the sick? I suppose praying over the sick and caring for the sick go hand in hand. If I was called to see a patient, that was the first question before prayer: "Is everything okay between you and the Savior?" In many cases, confession followed, clearing the way for a prayer of faith. James did not write in vain: "...even if he has sinned, he will be forgiven" (James 5:14-17) ... I am thinking here of the story of the healing of the man with a stroke (Matthew 9:2), who was first freed from his sins and then heal...

and the teetering vessel of the Lord Study 2. The conflict described in 2 Samuel 6 is really a conflict between David and the Lord. Although it is an incident with dire consequences, despite its dramatic beginning, it is an extremely powerful departure for David, a cleansing and righting of his personal identity and his worship. The spiritual foundation of his kingdom was here solidified for the next period of history. The reasons for the Uzza conflict, in brief The kings of Israel were informed about the order of the Holy things, including the use and transport of the tabernacle and ark. The community of the ark is not only the community of the priesthood but also the community of the king. .... When David entered the new, triumphant era of his life as king of his nation, he was subject to the ordinances as were all Levitical priests and leaders. So he had to be informed about the transport of the ark. Well. He was not informed. Two things, two ...

and the teetering vessel of the Lord Study David again brought together all the able young men of Israel—thirty thousand. He and all his men went to Baalah 1 in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim on the ark. They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart with the ark of God on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it. David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with castanets, 2 harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals. When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God. Then David w...

There was a time in my life when I rejected, both externally and internally, everything as "useless", such as spiritual gifts, etc. Such (testimony) writings will only impart profound blessings to us if we read them in a spirit of repentance and confess our own sloth and poverty. Then we cannot put them down without asking and pleading with all our hearts, Lord, fill me also with the Holy Spirit and fire! Yes, then it will be great and important, even holy, what is written on the banner of the Salvation Army: 'Blood and Fire'. We need the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit if we do not want our lives to be poor, to be empty and fruitless. Without the blood of Jesus, there is no forgiveness, no healing (Isa.53:5) Without the Holy Spirit, there is no power, no empowerment (Acts.1:7-8) Emil Nigg

I suppose praying over the sick and pastoral caring for the sick go hand in hand. Emil Nigg   ☆

... I went for a short walk one afternoon. As I wanted to praise and pray on the way, I made my way towards the nearby forest and thought I'd take the narrow road to Interlaken. When I reached the fork in the road, I felt something strange. It was as if the trap had closed after a while. So I turned back and continued in the opposite direction, towards the village. After a few minutes, the road continued past a garden where an old woman was working. I had to call her. After a few words over the fence, the old woman asked me to come in. Inside, I was quite moved when she told me that she had asked the Lord in her morning prayer: Send me your delegate today! And He did! After discussion and prayer with her, I continued my journey with a joyful heart, thankful that I had heeded that gentle warning in the forest. When I first told this experience somewhere, I had to add: "The Savior does not open with a squeak, does not close with a clang!" It takes a subtl...

Colonel, is it allowed to stick with these promises, to be so insistent on these? Isn't this blackmail? As far as I am concerned, the Word of God is the Word of God. I have no regard for myself or my faith, or my unbelief, or my doubts, Or the need of others, difficulties of others, only one thing is important: to persevere, with great earnestness and firm trust in God, standing on the promises of God, as it is written. How many times have I laid my hands on a promise: Isa. 53:5, or Luk.4:18-21, or Mark 16:18 with these words: Here it is written! Thank you for your healing by your wounds! This also applies to X, and I m not leaving from you. I just give thanks, thank You, simply thank You! One night, before falling asleep, I opened the Bible at Is. 53:5. I prayed and I said thank you for this promise, a promise with regard to a patient! "My Saviour, this is applies to her /valid, also for this poor woman!" With that I fell asleep....

- Ezredes, szabad ennyire ráállni ezekre az ígéretekre? Nem zsarolás ez? - Részemről Isten Szava az Isten Szava. Én nem vagyok tekintettel sem magamra, sem a hitemre, vagy hitetlenségemre, sem mások szükségére, kétkedésére, nehézségeire, csak egy a fontos: Ráállni, igen komolyan és szilárd bizalommal Isten ígéreteire, úgy, ahogy írva van. Hányszor helyeztem kezeimet egy ígéretre. Pl. Ézs. 53:5, vagy Luk. 4:18-21, vagy Márk 16:18-ra ezekkel a szavakkal: - Üdvözítőm! Itt az van írva! Köszönöm Neked a sebeid által való gyógyulást. Ez érvényes X-re is, én nem távozom el Tőled, köszönöm, köszönöm, egyszerűen köszönöm Neked! Egy este, elalvás előtt még felnyitottam a Bibliát az Ézs.53:5-nél. Imádkoztam és köszönetet mondtam ezért az ígéretért, egy betegre való tekintettel: - Üdvözítőm, ez erre a szegény asszonyra is vonatkozik! Ezzel elaludtam. Midőn felébredtem, a lap az Ézs.53:5-tel a kezemhez volt ragadva és nehéz volt eltávolítani onnan. Ó, mennyi...

Coronel, ¿se le permite aferrarse a estas promesas, ser tan insistente en ellas? ¿No es esto chantaje? En lo que a mí respecta, la Palabra de Dios es la Palabra de Dios. No tengo ninguna consideración por mí o mi fe, o mi incredulidad, o mis dudás, o la necesidad de otros, las dificultades de los demás, sólo una cosa es importante: perseverar, con gran seriedad y firme confianza en Dios, apoyándome en las promesas de Dios, como está escrito. Cuántas veces me he apoyado en una promesa: Isa.53:5, o Luk.4:18-21, o Marcos 16:18 con estas palabras. ¡Aquí está escrito! ¡Gracias por tu curación por tus heridas! Esto también se aplica a X, y no me alejo de ti. Sólo doy gracias, gracias, ¡simplemente gracias! Una noche, antes de dormirme, abrí la Biblia en Is.53:5. Oré y dije gracias por esta promesa. Recé y di gracias por esta promesa, una promesa ¡con respecto a un paciente! "¡Salvador mío, esto se aplica/es válido, también para esta pobre mujer!...

A Jézus Véréért való dicséret és köszönet, az Ő Szent Vérének győzelme , ezek voltak a legerősebb "gyógyszereim". Enélkül a titok nélkül nem jutottam volna túl a fájdalmaimon. Arra is rá kell mutatnom, hogy nem elégséges az, ha csak gyorsan, pár perc alatt mondunk dicséretet és köszönetet. Előfordult, hogy az éjszakában két-három órán át dicsértem és hálát adtam és dicsőítettem Jézus Vérének erejét, amíg a fájdalmak és szorongások el nem múltak. Ez mérvadó másfajta kísértésekkel szemben is. Az ellenség gyűlöl minden dicsőítést és hálaadást. Igen, mert ezek őt valóságosan elűzik. A Zsolt.50,23. valóság: "Aki hálával áldozik, az dicsőít engem, és aki az útra vigyáz, annak mutatom meg Isten szabadításat. Ez volt az én egyik legkedvesebb zsoltárom és igazságát gyakran átéltem. Ó, ha ezt többször vennék igénybe a keresztények akkor másképp állna sokak sorsa! Emil Nigg Életrajz és cikkek A teljes életrajzi könyv ingyenesen letölthető itt, magy...

The Praise and Thanksgiving For the Blood of Jesus, the worship for His Holy Blood, these were the most powerful "medicine" of mine. Without this secret, I would not have gotten over my pain. I must also point out that it is not enough, if we just say thanks quickly, in just a few minutes. It has happened that I praised and thanked him for two or three hours in the night, praising and giving thanks to the power of Jesus' blood until the pain and anxiety had passed. It is also significant in other kinds of temptations. The enemy hates all praise and thanksgiving. Yes, because they actually drive him away. Psalm 50:23 is a reality: The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies Me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!” This was one of my favourite psalms. and I have often experienced its truth. Oh, if only Christians would use it more! The fate of many would be different.. Emil Nigg Nigg articles ...

"Authority", Fennhatóság Martyn Lloyd-Jones Egyedül a Szent Szellem az, aki végül is megingathatatlan bizonyosságot adhat nekünk az üdvösségről. Az üdvösség bizonyosságának témája nagyon fontos és úgy tűnik nekem, hogy nagyon gyakran félreértik. Három fő módja van annak, ahogyan a bizonyosság eljut hozzánk, de napjainkban sajnos gyakran csak az elsőt hangsúlyozzák. Az első az, amit úgy kapunk, hogy hisszük és magunkra alkalmazzuk a Szentírás puszta szavát, mint Isten hiteles szavát. Azt mondja nekünk, hogy "aki hisz benne, nem kárhozik el" , Ott van Isten szava, hisszük és támaszkodunk rá. Ez azonban csak az első út, amelyen a bizonyosság eljuthat hozzánk. Sőt, ez önmagában néha veszélyes lehet. Ez lehet egyfajta "hitélet" {believism: "hit elvűség"}. Az ember a saját lelki békéje és céljai érdekében mondhatja ezt. Ezt elfogadjuk, de önmagában ez nem elég. Szükségünk van még valamire, ami a bizonyosság második alapja. János els...

from the book: "Authority" by Martyn Lloyd-Jones It is the Holy Spirit alone who finally can give us an unshakable assurance of salvation. Now this subject of the assurance of salvation is a very important one, and one, it seems to me, which is very frequently misunderstood. There are three main ways in which assurance comes to us, but often in these days, unfortunately, only the first one is stressed. The first is that which is to be obtained by believing and applying to ourselves the bare word of the Scripture as the authoritative word of God. It tells us that ‘he that believeth on him is not condemned’ , There is God’s word, we believe it and rest upon it. Yet that is only the first way assurance may come to us. Indeed, that alone can sometimes be dangerous. It can be a kind of ‘believism’, A man can say that for his own peace of mind and for his own purposes. We accept that, but alone it is not enough. We need something further, which is the second gr...

(From the testimonies of Emil Nigg's life.)    - "Colonel, I have the impression that your love for Jesus Christ was much deeper than ours." Was this the case at the beginning of your career?  - I have nothing to add to this. I may have needed the Savior more than others. At the beginning of my Salvation Army officer career, I had a foreman who became my role model. Even now, I see him, praying very seriously, leaning on his knees. His prayers and his love for Jesus had a great impact on me, the beginner. On our simple meals, a third chair was also set up, as a symbol, for Him Who We Worshiped: "Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest!" The flowers on the table were also in His honor.  -"Has your faith been so humble, so childlike, and perfect from the beginning?"  - No, because I also tried to achieve things on my own, even the closeness of God and His special blessing. A small example. As an officer student, I spent a night outside in the garden on an ...

 In Jesus' name  (from the testimonies of Emil Nigg's life) ...  "What did the doctors say about these amazing twists?" "I remember a woman who came to me in great pain." She had a big tumor in her breast and was waiting for help from Jesus, the Great Doctor. I prayed and placed my hands on Jesus’Name. The Lord's response was not missed. The pain was gone, the tumor was back. She waited until only a small lump appeared to testify to his doctor of the healing power of Jesus. As soon as she showed herself to the doctor, he could barely understand what had happened, that only a small lump was visible, and that his patient was in no pain. The woman told him that it was all done through prayer. The doctor's face shone and he acknowledged, that it was his great joy, that he had experienced such a thing that "a woman had found a cure through her prayer."  - Doctor, was it cancer? she asked. "Yes, it was, at an advanced stage." The...
