Job 38
It's in our thinking to want to do it all on our own but as good as our intentions can be, we all fall short to the glory of God. That's why I want to quote Job for it speaks all about how our Father in Heaven holds the whole Universe in His hand. We can trust Him and should not focus primarely on the empty world outside. He holds everything in His hand.
The final chapters of Job speak about how He is the Creator of all the Universe. Down at the bottom you will also find a video from Starfield about how He holds the world in His Hand and that we will stand before Him one day. Jesus once said "you do not understand what I am doing now but you will later." John 13:7.

Job 38:3 Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.
Job 38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.
Job 38:5 Who determined its measurements--surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,
Job 38:7 when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 "Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb,
Job 38:9 when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band,
Job 38:10 and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors,
Job 38:11 and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?
Job 38:12 "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,
Job 38:13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14 It is changed like clay under the seal, and its features stand out like a garment.
Job 38:15 From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.
Job 38:16 "Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?
Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
Job 38:18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.
Job 38:19 "Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,
Job 38:20 that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?
Job 38:21 You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!
Job 38:22 "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
Job 38:23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?
Job 38:24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
Job 38:25 "Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain and a way for the thunderbolt,
Job 38:26 to bring rain on a land where no man is, on the desert in which there is no man,
Job 38:27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land, and to make the ground sprout with grass?
Job 38:28 "Has the rain a father, or who has begotten the drops of dew?
Job 38:29 From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
Job 38:30 The waters become hard like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
Job 38:31 "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion?
Job 38:32 Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children?
Job 38:33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth?
Job 38:34 "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you?
Job 38:35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'?
Job 38:36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind?
Job 38:37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
Job 38:38 when the dust runs into a mass and the clods stick fast together?
Job 38:39 "Can you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
Job 38:40 when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in their thicket?
Job 38:41 Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, and wander about for lack of food?
Job 39
Job 39:1 "Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the does?
Job 39:2 Can you number the months that they fulfill, and do you know the time when they give birth,
Job 39:3 when they crouch, bring forth their offspring, and are delivered of their young?
Job 39:4 Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open; they go out and do not return to them.
Job 39:5 "Who has let the wild donkey go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
Job 39:6 to whom I have given the arid plain for his home and the salt land for his dwelling place?
Job 39:7 He scorns the tumult of the city; he hears not the shouts of the driver.
Job 39:8 He ranges the mountains as his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
Job 39:9 "Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he spend the night at your manger?
Job 39:10 Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes, or will he harrow the valleys after you?
Job 39:11 Will you depend on him because his strength is great, and will you leave to him your labor?
Job 39:12 Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?
Job 39:13 "The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are they the pinions and plumage of love?
Job 39:14 For she leaves her eggs to the earth and lets them be warmed on the ground,
Job 39:15 forgetting that a foot may crush them and that the wild beast may trample them.
Job 39:16 She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear,
Job 39:17 because God has made her forget wisdom and given her no share in understanding.
Job 39:18 When she rouses herself to flee, she laughs at the horse and his rider.
Job 39:19 "Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
Job 39:20 Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying.
Job 39:21 He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons.
Job 39:22 He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword.
Job 39:23 Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin.
Job 39:24 With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
Job 39:25 When the trumpet sounds, he says 'Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Job 39:26 "Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south?
Job 39:27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high?
Job 39:28 On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold.
Job 39:29 From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away.
Job 39:30 His young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is he."
Job 40
Job 40:1 And the LORD said to Job:
Job 40:2 "Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it."
Job 40:3 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
Job 40:4 "Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
Job 40:5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; twice, but I will proceed no further."
Job 40:6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
Job 40:7 "Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.
Job 40:8 Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right?
Job 40:9 Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?
Job 40:10 "Adorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor.
Job 40:11 Pour out the overflowings of your anger, and look on everyone who is proud and abase him.
Job 40:12 Look on everyone who is proud and bring him low and tread down the wicked where they stand.
Job 40:13 Hide them all in the dust together; bind their faces in the world below.
Job 40:14 Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.
Job 40:15 "Behold, Behemoth, which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox.
Job 40:16 Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly.
Job 40:17 He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
Job 40:18 His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron.
Job 40:19 "He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword!
Job 40:20 For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play.
Job 40:21 Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh.
Job 40:22 For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him.
Job 40:23 Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth.
Job 40:24 Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?
Job 41
Job 41:1 "Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook or press down his tongue with a cord?
Job 41:2 Can you put a rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
Job 41:3 Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak to you soft words?
Job 41:4 Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant forever?
Job 41:5 Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
Job 41:6 Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
Job 41:7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
Job 41:8 Lay your hands on him; remember the battle--you will not do it again!
Job 41:9 Behold, the hope of a man is false; he is laid low even at the sight of him.
Job 41:10 No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
Job 41:11 Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
Job 41:12 "I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
Job 41:13 Who can strip off his outer garment? Who would come near him with a bridle?
Job 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.
Job 41:15 His back is made of rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal.
Job 41:16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them.
Job 41:17 They are joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated.
Job 41:18 His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth.
Job 41:20 Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
Job 41:21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
Job 41:22 In his neck abides strength, and terror dances before him.
Job 41:23 The folds of his flesh stick together, firmly cast on him and immovable.
Job 41:24 His heart is hard as a stone, hard as the lower millstone.
Job 41:25 When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves.
Job 41:26 Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.
Job 41:27 He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
Job 41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee; for him sling stones are turned to stubble.
Job 41:29 Clubs are counted as stubble; he laughs at the rattle of javelins.
Job 41:30 His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire.
Job 41:31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
Job 41:32 Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be white-haired.
Job 41:33 On earth there is not his like, a creature without fear.
Job 41:34 He sees everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride."
Job 42
Job 42:1 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
Job 42:2 "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
Job 42:3 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
Job 42:4 'Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you make it known to me.'
Job 42:5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you;
Job 42:6 therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
Job 42:7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
Job 42:8 Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has."
Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
Job 42:10 And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Job 42:11 Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold.
Job 42:12 And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
Job 42:16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
Job 42:17 And Job died, an old man, and full of days.

Job 42:6 therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
Job 42:7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
Job 42:8 Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has."
Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD had told them, and the LORD accepted Job's prayer.
Job 42:10 And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Job 42:11 Then came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a piece of money and a ring of gold.
Job 42:12 And the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning. And he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first daughter Jemimah, and the name of the second Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters. And their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
Job 42:16 And after this Job lived 140 years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
Job 42:17 And Job died, an old man, and full of days.
"The Hand That Holds The World"
No greater joy
Is there than this
To know for what
We're meant to live
To hold Your hand
To touch Your face
To find ourselves
In loves embrace
I want to stand before the King
Join in the song that heaven sings
I want to hold the hand that holds the world
I want to know the mystery
Reach out and touch the majesty
I want to hold the hand tht holds the world
No greater love
Could be bestowed
That You would name us as your own
Your daughters sing
Your sons rejoice
They gather here before Your throne
You are, You are
The author of creation
We are, the chrildren of your heart
You are, You are,
The light of all the heaven
We rise, to worship all You are

GMO food - Why and how to avoid it
Revealed: Monsanto GMO corn caused tumors in rats:
God warned us about messing with the blueprint of His creation, animals, plants and humans. However, people didn't listen. They messed with the blueprint of every kind of life here on this planet.

Juicing to gain back Health / Juice fasting
In this video juicing is mentioned. Juicing is very helpfull to those who already have a weakened digestive system. On Natural News I found a great article about juicing. Also, I saw some video's of Dr. Brian Clement in which he explains the benefits of juicing. For great recipes you can experiment with all kinds of vegetables. I started out with a juice in which I used apple, ginger, arugula, fennel, parsley, lemon, etc. Use your imagination.
One thing is sure: it does make a big difference if you have difficulty assimilating or digesting your food properly. The vitamins and minerals will be transported to your bloodstream immediately! However, juices should not be used as a substitute. Juices should be accompanied by foods that contain a lot of fiber.
Shalom,

The Torah
The Torah means guidelines and instructions and are given by a loving Father who protects us under His Mighty Right Hand.
"TORAH" תּוֹרָהHebrew: "learning" or "instruction," sometimes translated as "Law;" also "Law of Moses" (Genesis through Deuteronomy). The Hebrew word translated "Law" all throughout the scriptures.
The Torah is to teach us about His righteouss commandments and that He wants for us to grow in our relationship with Him by not depending on traditions, stories handed over by others or other issues but to go back to the roots of our faith so that we may see the wonders of His Thora.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is faithful to the covenant He made with His people and will bring restoration to the land if we start to be open to learn what is written in His Thora. He writes His Torah on the tablets of our hearts. His Torah is the giver of life to ALL of us:
Psalm 19:7-8, 10
"The TORAH of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes ... More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb."
Isaiah 2:3
"And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we shall walk in his paths: far out of Zion shall go forth the TORAH, and the WORD OF THE LORD from Jerusalem."
Proverbs 3:1, 18
"My son forget not my TORAH: but let thine heart keep my commandments ... She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. "
Matthew 5:18-19
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
In psalm 119 David wrote about the wise and wonderful law/instructions. That is why we read in 1 John that His commandments are not burdensome. Therefore, I want to share this simple truth but often so challenged by the doctrines of men for in Psa 19:7 it says The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Also, I want to include a quotation I have read just recently. It is about God’s righteous commandments in which He reveals His guard and love for us:
“Psalm 119: This Psalms is broken up into exactly 22 sections of 8 verses each. The entire theme of this Psalm is the laws and commandments of God and their blessing in your life. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The first 8 verses all begin with the first letter of the alphabet. The next 8 begin with the second letter and so on until the last letter. The gematria of Yehu’ is 22. This word means ‘YHVH is HE’. The numerical value of ‘ahav or love is 8. It is the Messiah who said “If you LOVE me you will keep my COMMANDMENTS.” In 22 sections of 8 verses each the God of Israel spoke to all of mankind what Yochanan 3:6 says, I LOVE YOU! (The Design of Scripture, 8)”
Fear God and obey His commandments for this is the duty of every person. Yeshua set the example. He did not come to do away with the law but to fulfill it meaning perform or execute fully. He is the Word that became flesh. Yeshua loves us and He wants and longs for us to grow in our relationship with Him. He is our example and we are made into His image. Yeshua said "if ye love me, keep my commandments Joh 14:15." He is the living Thora and we are to live by His guidelines. This is an ongoing process. If you stop having a relationship with Him or you feel like you never had a relationship with Him it is the perfect time to go and seek Him. His love is unfailing and His arms are wide open. The first thing you could do is to seek Him and when you truly seek Him you will discover that He loves you more than any person on the world. Our sins are cast as far away as the east is from the west when you come and drink of the living waters of His mercy and grace and repent for those sins that you made. It is not about knowing everything or having figured it out all by yourself. It is about being able to be moulded and to be seeking Him constantly so He can show you. The good news is that Yeshua is the way, the truth and the light. We are to live as He did, walk as He walked and love as He loved. He kept the Torah perfectly, and it is He who now lives in us. Our choice to turn away from Torah breaking and receive Him for our salvation is evidence that He lives in us. You don't seek obedience to the law through human effort and then receive salvation; you receive salvation through Yahushua's indwelling so that you have the power to walk in obedience.

Biotechnology: what does the Bible say about it?
.jpg)
If you like to learn more about biotechnology and what the Bible say's about it then I like to refer you to an article written by a fellow believer:
http://www.healthtruthrevealed.com/downloads/chapter_11.pdf
In regard to plantlife people are mingling as well. It may seem convenient to have hybrid seedless fruits nowaday's but they have no antioxidants in them whatsoever. They are of no benefit to our health. Moreover, the GMO seeds damage your health for sure. I recommend you to read 'Frankensteinfood' on the website Wildbranch Ministry or some articles on Natural News. The biotech company Monsanto wants rulership over our foodsupply. The seed is the ultimate example of Gods creative power but people don't seem to care. I advise people who do care to definetely stay away from GMO's and other additives in prepackaged foods. The additives have become much cheaper but have also become much more dangerous to our health. Sugar has been replaced by glucosefructose syrup and organic corn has been replaced by GMO corn, and I could go on. Our foodsupply is revolving around money making business in which health is pushed to the side. Therefore, we should take a stand and become mindful of what the Bible is saying about mingling seeds. I hope you will take a stand and become more aware of what you eat by researching it. Organic farmers in America, Australia and elsewhere are experiencing tougher times nowaday's but they are figthing the good cause. If you like you can go and sign the petition Say No to GMO on facebook. We should become aware of the hidden dangers of GMO's. Let's reshare this information.
May our God, the God of Jakob, Abraham, Isaak and Jakob bless you for taking precautionary steps.
Shalom,

Gedicht over Jezus liefde voor ons
Ik was erbij
Er is iemand heel dicht bij je.
Dicht bij je als je huilt,
iemand die huilt als jij verdriet hebt.
Oooh, besef dit toch goed!
Ik zie hoe beperkt m’n woorden zijn,
als ik je zeg dat altijd, wanneer ook in je leven,
als je bang was, als je huilde of juist je verdriet verborg...
ALTIJD was er iemand die naast je stond,
die zijn arm om je heen sloeg.
ALTIJD!
Als jij leed, dan leed hij mee.
Als jij pijn had diep in je hart,
als je je schaamde of je onzeker voelde...
ALTIJD deelde hij in je pijn.
Als je werd beschimpt of geslagen,
als je werd uitgelachen of gehoond.
Als je boos was uit onmacht,
als je alles anders wilde dan
de harde werkelijkheid.
Hij was bij je.
Eigenlijk is hij altijd bij je.
Ook als je het niet moeilijk hebt.
Als je plezier maakt, is hij er ook.
Het doet hem zo goed, om je eens hard te zien lachen.
Hij leeft ervoor om je glimlach te zien.
Om je ogen te zien stralen, je gelukkig te zien.
Maar hij weet dat er zoveel is in je leven, en om je heen
dat je geluk zo vaak in de weg staat.
En soms of eigenlijk best vaak,
ziet hij die onmacht en die pijn.
Die tranen die je wegdrukt,
of wegveegt van je wang.
Hij weet zoals geen ander,
nog beter dan jijzelf,
wat er is gebeurd.
O, hij heeft zoveel verdriet!
Hij huilt en huilt en huilt
omdat hij zoveel van je houdt,
omdat hij zoveel om je geeft.
Hij staat bij jou en kijkt naar jou.
Hij legt z’n hand weer op je schouder.
Maar hij huilt uit onmacht en uit pijn,
omdat hij zoveel meer wil doen, om je te helpen!
Hij wil zo graag dat je hem zou zien!
Hij wil niets liever dan je zeggen
hoe bijzonder je voor hem bent.
Hoeveel hij van je houdt.
Want weet je wat hij deed voor jou?
Hij is diegene van wie je wel eens hoort zeggen
dat hij zijn leven gaf,
voor jou en voor je angst en pijn,
voor jouw verdriet en gewoon
om heel dicht bij je te kunnen zijn.
Hij houdt zo machtig veel van jou!
Maar hij huilt en huilt en huilt.
Zijn hart breekt van verdriet.
Want waarom ben je daar bij hem,
en is hij daar bij jou,
maar zie je hem niet staan,
en zie je hem niet huilen,
en kun je niet zijn ogen zien,
die zo vol liefde naar je kijken...?
Het is deze man,
zo eenvoudig als ‘ie is,
die zijn leven gaf om jou te redden,
van al je pijn en je verdriet.
Van de dingen die gebeurden,
waar je soms niks aan kon doen,
al wilde je het tegenhouden.
Je wist niet hoe.
Hij was erbij.
Hij was erbij.
Hij was erbij.
En ook nu staat hij hier bij jou
Te kijken hoe je deze woorden leest.
Hij kijkt naar je gezicht.
En vol verwachting klopt zijn hart!
Hij is zo machtig, en zo trouw,
dat hij je zijde nooit verlaat.
Ja, hij is God die alles maakte,
ook jou weefde in je moederschoot.
Maar hij verliet de hemel in al z’n glorie
alleen om bij jou te kunnen zijn...
Weet je waarom hij zijn leven gaf?
Om jou te redden, van zonde en van pijn,
van ziekte en van dood.
Maar bovenal... om heel dicht bij je te kunnen zijn.
Zodat je niet meer eenzaam bent.
En daarom huilt hij ook zoveel.
Zijn verdriet is schijnbaar eindeloos.
Want hij wil zo graag dat jij ontdekt
dat hij al zo lang bij je staat,
te wachten en te hopen...
Hij geeft je hints en fluistert zachtjes
lieve woordjes in je oor,
maar door de herrie om je heen
heb je het niet eens door!
Hij legt zijn hand op jou,
maar je durft het niet te hopen.
Je ziet hem gewoon niet staan
door de tranen van je verdriet,
of door de drukte van je leven.
Kijk eens omhoog. Open eens je ogen,
de ogen van je hart.
Je kunt hem zien als je dat wilt.
En als je hem gevonden hebt,
dan zie je dat je nooit alleen was,
dat hij je steeds gedragen heeft,
dat hij erbij was in je pijn,
je schande en je mislukking.
O, hij geeft zoveel om jou!
En hij is zo oppermachtig!
Want weet je,
hij is God!
En hij luistert heel aandachtig
naar wat jij hem zeggen wil
en wat je hem te vragen hebt.
Hij is zo sterk en o, zo groot!
En hij heeft het volbracht.
En hij heeft het volbracht.
Hij heeft het volbracht.
De pijn die jij ervaren hebt,
heeft hij voor jou gedragen.
De klappen die jij kreeg,
die heeft hij opgevangen.
Want hij had alles voor je over.
Zelfs de dood ging hij niet uit de weg
om jou bij hem te brengen,
in zijn armen.
Thuis.
Veilig.
Geliefd.
Aanvaard.
Precies zoals je bent.
Want ooh, hij houdt zoveel van jou!
En als je hem daar ziet staan,
zo heel dicht bij je,
dan raakt hij je aan
en geneest hij al je pijn.
Hij zal je wonden helen.
Ook ziekte en verdriet
neemt hij weg alsof het niet bestond.
Want hij heeft het allemaal gezien.
Hij heeft het allemaal gevoeld.
Hij heeft het allemaal meegemaakt.
Datgene wat jij moest doorstaan,
wat jij te verduren had...
Hij doorstond het ook, voor jou!
Omdat hij zoveel van je houdt
verdroeg hij niet alleen
de pijn van z’n eigen leven, nee!
Zelfs al sloegen ze hem zo hard
dat je niet eens meer kon herkennen,
dat hij een mens was.
Zo toegetakeld was hij!
Ze sloegen spijkers door z’n handen
en hingen hem aan een marteltuig.
Het meest gekende symbool ter wereld,
dat is het kruis...
Daar hing hij naar lucht te snakken
totdat hij z’n geest opgaf.
Hij stierf voor jou!
Voor al je zonden,
de pijn, de ziekte en de trauma’s,
die het leven je bezorgde.
Niets, nee niets was teveel voor hem.
Al was hij maar een mens...
Vol van de Geest van God, Zijn Vader,
kon hij het leven aan.
En ook dat van de hele wereld
en het jouwe... zelfs dat nam hij aan...
Hij droeg het allemaal op zijn schouders
om jou ervan vrij te maken!
Zie je hem staan, daar dicht bij jou?
Voel je zijn hand op je schouder?
Voel je Zijn Geest die bij je is,
voel je Zijn liefde en Zijn kracht?
Hij was er altijd bij!
En ook nu verlaat hij je niet.
Altijd blijft hij wachten
en huilen en bidden en smeken voor jou,
totdat je hem zal zien!
Want dan geeft hij je zielsverheugd
een omhelzing van zijn liefde,
een hele dikke knuffel,
die geen mens je geven kan.
Want hij kent je toch zo goed!
Hij weet precies wat je nodig hebt.
En DAT zal hij je geven
en wel in overvloed!
Hij roept zijn engelen in touw:
“Bescherm hem, nu is hij van mij!
Of zij, mijn dochter, is ze niet mooi?!
Kijk eens, ze houdt nu ook van mij!
Ik ben de bruidegom, zij de bruid!
Voor eeuwig zijn we samen!
Mijn liefde mag ze delen voor altijd.
Nooit laat ik haar meer los.
En ook hem, mijn zoon, kijk eens naar hem!
Ik zie in hem een krachtig man.
Een strijder, een vechter voor mijn liefde!
Die, eenmaal vol van mijn kracht,
zal stralen als de morgenzon!
Nooit vergaat zijn glorie meer
want mijn geest is nu ook in zijn binnenste
en voor eeuwig zal hij leven!
Ook jou, mijn kind, jou roep ik aan:
Kom bij mij met je pijn!
Kom bij me, en roep ook mij aan!
Ik hoor je, zelfs al fluister je zacht,
maar roep mij aan, mijn kind!
En ik zal met mijn sterke liefdemacht
ook jouw leven transformeren!
Hoe slecht het er ook voor staat nu
Ik zal alles ten goede keren,
en gebruiken tot eer en glorie van mijn naam!
De wereld zal het horen!
Iedereen zal het zien!
Wat ik met jou gedaan heb,
toen je mij eindelijk kon zien, naast jou,
vol verdriet en vol verlangen
om jou te redden van je pijn...
O, hoe heerlijk is het leven
met jou in m’n armen!
Kom gauw, mijn geliefde, kom gauw!
Wacht geen seconde langer!
Want ik ben nu en hier bij jou
en wil je zo graag zeggen
hoeveel ik van je hou!
Met al mijn liefde,
Jezus -

Ze sloegen spijkers door z’n handen
en hingen hem aan een marteltuig.
Het meest gekende symbool ter wereld,
dat is het kruis...
Daar hing hij naar lucht te snakken
totdat hij z’n geest opgaf.
Hij stierf voor jou!
Voor al je zonden,
de pijn, de ziekte en de trauma’s,
die het leven je bezorgde.
Niets, nee niets was teveel voor hem.
Al was hij maar een mens...
Vol van de Geest van God, Zijn Vader,
kon hij het leven aan.
En ook dat van de hele wereld
en het jouwe... zelfs dat nam hij aan...
Hij droeg het allemaal op zijn schouders
om jou ervan vrij te maken!
Zie je hem staan, daar dicht bij jou?
Voel je zijn hand op je schouder?
Voel je Zijn Geest die bij je is,
voel je Zijn liefde en Zijn kracht?
Hij was er altijd bij!
En ook nu verlaat hij je niet.
Altijd blijft hij wachten
en huilen en bidden en smeken voor jou,
totdat je hem zal zien!
Want dan geeft hij je zielsverheugd
een omhelzing van zijn liefde,
een hele dikke knuffel,
die geen mens je geven kan.
Want hij kent je toch zo goed!
Hij weet precies wat je nodig hebt.
En DAT zal hij je geven
en wel in overvloed!
Hij roept zijn engelen in touw:
“Bescherm hem, nu is hij van mij!
Of zij, mijn dochter, is ze niet mooi?!
Kijk eens, ze houdt nu ook van mij!
Ik ben de bruidegom, zij de bruid!
Voor eeuwig zijn we samen!
Mijn liefde mag ze delen voor altijd.
Nooit laat ik haar meer los.
En ook hem, mijn zoon, kijk eens naar hem!
Ik zie in hem een krachtig man.
Een strijder, een vechter voor mijn liefde!
Die, eenmaal vol van mijn kracht,
zal stralen als de morgenzon!
Nooit vergaat zijn glorie meer
want mijn geest is nu ook in zijn binnenste
en voor eeuwig zal hij leven!
Ook jou, mijn kind, jou roep ik aan:
Kom bij mij met je pijn!
Kom bij me, en roep ook mij aan!
Ik hoor je, zelfs al fluister je zacht,
maar roep mij aan, mijn kind!
En ik zal met mijn sterke liefdemacht
ook jouw leven transformeren!
Hoe slecht het er ook voor staat nu
Ik zal alles ten goede keren,
en gebruiken tot eer en glorie van mijn naam!
De wereld zal het horen!
Iedereen zal het zien!
Wat ik met jou gedaan heb,
toen je mij eindelijk kon zien, naast jou,
vol verdriet en vol verlangen
om jou te redden van je pijn...
O, hoe heerlijk is het leven
met jou in m’n armen!
Kom gauw, mijn geliefde, kom gauw!
Wacht geen seconde langer!
Want ik ben nu en hier bij jou
en wil je zo graag zeggen
hoeveel ik van je hou!
Met al mijn liefde,
Jezus -
Hij die altijd bij je is

Books and Websites about Preventative Health Care
Is food a key to good health? I believe it is! Maybe you don't know much about preventative healthcare but after researching it I do believe our lifestyle choices do make a big difference! I know it did help me personally. Therefore, I like to reshare my resources. By visiting the websites I like to mention you will learn about health in an honest way and from a Biblical perspective.
For more information about diet and health according to the Bible go to http://healthwatchman.com/. If you have cancer or another disease I recommend you to go to http://www.thegersontherapy.com/ or http://www.hippocratesinst.org/. Also, TrueNorth Health center is a promising clinic. They say that some of the most chronic, distressing, disabeling and deadly diseases in our society today including high bloodpressure, heartdisease, diabetis, autoimune disoreders such as arthritis, lupus, colitus, asthma and many other disorders can often be significantly improved and succesfully managed by incorperating a health promoting diet and healthy lifestyle into your daily life. Go to http://www.healthpromoting.com/. These are clinics in America and Mexico where they don't use chemotherapy but rely on the healing capacities of our own bodies. Although they don't get ANY attention from mainstream media, they have a high succes rate.
What you will learn for example is that you don't have to eat five, six or ten times a day. That's what the media and a LOT of dietitians like to let you believe. I have to admid, I myself did believe this to be true for a long time but by visiting these websites you will learn why it's oke and best for you to eat two or three times a day at max. Also, Hippocrates did believe this to be true:
"Hippocrates (...) is called the 'Father of Medicine' (...) he was an exclusive dietitian. He did not have much knowledge of modern medicine, anatomy and physiology. He knew exactly what disease was, and what was going on in the human body, in case of sickness. His ideas, concept and teachings about how to heal every disease can be characteristically seen and understood by two quotations from his work ondietetics. He says: "The more you feed the sick, the more your harm him." Also - "Your foods shall be your 'remedies,' and your 'remedies' shall be your foods."
His first statement proves clearly that he was an advocate of fasting and restrictive diet, especially in case of acute disease. His second statement (suggestion) embraces perfectly the entire problem of dietetics." Your body should get its rest and time to assimilate. Not eating late at night is difficult in the beginning. If you are used to eating all the time, it is better to not hasten the process. Even more so if you have diabetis. Just take it one step at a time, let's say take one step every month. By the end of the year you will notice you have become used to eating two times a day without being hungry.
Another recommendation I like to add is to read about juicefasting and other type of fasts also. It will help you to get rid of cravings in a couple of day's but you need to know what you are doing. Therefore, order a book about juicefasting which you can reread several times. Also, there are many good articles about juicefasting on the internet. A book about juicing which I recommend to everyone is 'Fresh vegetable and fruit juices' from Dr. Norman Walker. However, if you have a high level of toxicity and heavy metal poisening you should get guidance and slow down the process. It takes years for toxicity to catch up with you so it can not be released in two seconds. You will get headaches, feel extremely tired, dizzy, etcetera, etcetera. Oke, maybe I said enough. I am a big advocate of self study. Beneath I added some books in which information is given about the steps of detoxification. The information given in these books will help you to detox and live a healthy and preventative lifestyle.

- You would be doing better by staying away from GMO's, glucosefructose syrup, MSG,aspartame and other flavour enhancers they add to foods nowadays. Even better, stay away from prepackaged foods. It is one of the many mousetraps of the 21st century. If you want to know why you should read the book of Russel Blaylock, an article called 'Frankensteinfood' on the website of Wildbranch Ministry or just google GMO's. You will find a lot!

Many of these health advisors/doctors do not rely on medications only but are also thoroughly educated in the healing cappacaties of our own bodies. I like to warn you though: many alternative treatments are not recommended and are even to be avoided. Selfstudy is a must.

Food is something I like to look at and think is important but as important are emotions,
excercise, to check your vitamin d levels, sleeppatterns, environmental toxins, etc. By the way, in the video beneath you will learn about the tremendous benefits of drinking fresh and living juices and being optimistic at the same time ;-):
There are a few basic healh principles: faith, enough fresh air, sunlight, excercise, healthy foods, stress control, fasting and detoxification, emotions, etc. There is no need to get confused by all the expensive synthetic supplements which your body does not even recognize. It is best to pay attention to the simple basic health principles such as eating fresh, ripe and organic foods. I advise everyone who is interested in improving their health to read a book about colonhealth. Taking ten or twenty pills will not help you if you aren't able to assimilate them. Chlorella and spirulina are wonderful natural supplements with the highest content of chlorofyl in them. They are great detoxyfiers and help your body to get rid of heavy metals but buy them in bulk and without the harmful fillers. Keep it natural.
P.s.: this article contains no medical advise. If you are Dutch I like to recommend you to click on the article below or visit http://www.goednieuws.org/. They have great books about Natural health and cleansing. Also, you can choose between the English, Dutch and French language. On this website and in the article below a lot of helpful information is given in regard to switching to a healthy preventative lifestyle.
Greetings,
