A
dissipated life.
Boerge and
Gerda have been together since 1969 and were living a dissipated
life with drinking, parties, pubs, dancing places, free sex -
but no drugs. In 1980 they found a good neighbour and female
friend.
About 1987 the friend found a man, who had a philosophy - A
mix-up of eastern religions, freemasonry, Gnosticism, false
Christian doctrines, collectivism and much more like that. He
talked all the others into this, and shortly after they created
a collective in this couples flat - four adults and four
children. There was a lot of drunkenness and sex, but also,
particularly between the man and Boerge, big quarrels about how
to understand the Bible - They both knew the bible wery well -
At last all these ups and downs were to much for Gerda and
Boerge, so they moved back to their own flat, which they
fortunately had kept. The friendship continued however.
The
first break and something divine
During
this time, Boerge had developed an aggressive and sometimes
unpleasant personality. Finally,
he was thrown out of the flat, and with help from friends he
found his own flat. One evening before sleeping he got a
horrifying thought: "It's all the others fault, they don't
understand me. I will take a gun and shoot them all - Gerda, the
friends and the children". He became so frightened over
this thought that he burst out: "God, if you exist, help me
and I will be yours forever". He started to go to church (a
Lutheran church), where one day during the hymns, he felt
something wonderfully divine come from above and down upon and
into him. After that he began to change and Gerda discovered
that, so Boerge moved back home. They found a Baptist church,
but it didn’t speak to them, so they dropped out.
The
second break
|
Slowly
Boerge went back to being unpleasant and Gerda was
afraid of him. This time Gerda moved out and moved to
Jutland with the youngest son and Boerge stayed in the
flat with the eldest son.
Once again Boerge was in a bad position - What now?
|
Call upon me in the day of
trouble, and I will deliver you,
and you shall glorify me.
Psalm 50 verse 15 (New King James bible)
|
The
salvation
Yes, what
now? He was convinced that he, when he was together with the
other couple, had been possessed by demons and these he tried to
cast out with his own power, but with out no luck. He remembered
the wonderful things he had felt in the church. He wanted to
find that feeling again, so he began to repeat different
scriptures from the Bible. Among others these: "I'm able to
do all things through Him which give me power", Philippians
4:13. "The power comes from God" Acts 1,8. "I'm
a child of God" John 1:12-13. ect.
Suddenly one day it happened - This wonderfully divine
feeling came from above and down into him. He jumped up and he
burst out: "Yes, all this about God and Jesus is
true". He decided to go to the Baptist church the first
Sunday in September 1994. There he intensely followed the
worship songs and the preaching, and when he took the Holy
communion he thought: "Yes Jesus, you exist, and I'm
yours". Then Gods power/the Holy Spirit overwhelmed him and
he staggered like a drunk up to the front to be prayed for
Acts 2:1-4. This power came many times after this, even at
inconvenient times at work, which he had kept always. From the
Bible, he learned to forgive. Every time he went to sleep, he
prayed The Lords Prayer
and forgave in the name of Jesus all people he felt had wronged
him. About forgiveness see Matthew 5:44 & 6:9-15 & 18:21-22.
The
fight
But Satan
and his demons wouldn't give up and let him go just like that.
He often had nightmares and could wake up with demons trying to
come into him, yes; he could feel it quite physically. But then
the power of The Holy Spirit flared up inside him to protect
him.
One night he dreamed, that he was preaching the false doctrine
he had been a victim of, in church and people was listening with
interest. Suddenly, he felt that he was thrown backwards towards the darkness. "No,
No", he screamed out, "it is going so well. They are
listening". Then he saw to angles and the one of them said
to the other: "Well, you are the Holy Spirit, why don't you
fly down to him and rescue him?". Boerge woke up because he
felt that his body had been filled up with a wonderful power and
he had a feeling that a battle was been fought inside him and he
asked: "Who won? Was it you, Jesus that won?" He
became more filled – as though the body was growing bigger.
Every time he said thank you Jesus, the more he was filled up.
And at last he fell asleep happy.
After that, things happened fast and he got rid of all the
unpleasant things and even quite automatically stopped swearing
which he normally did a lot. In addition, he became very conscious of no longer doing wrong and illegal things. Eg. to work blackmail, buy contraband, neither cheat on taxes nor others, lie i.e. always be honest, drive too fast, etc., etc. and if he is tempted to do that, well, the Holy Spirit will probably remind him in a loving way that it is wrong. Yes, the temptations are still there, but it has become much easier not to give in, and if you do, it is much easier to say sorry to God and stop it.
The attacks of Satan and the nightmares went
away gradually and he didn't have any nightmares since. Stupid
dreams, yes, but no nightmares. -
(All this still holds here in the year 2023).
When the eldest son saw the transformation with his father and
that is was real, he too found Christ.
Boerge got a new girlfriend, but it didn't last, and after this
break he discovered that he still loved Gerda and began to pray
for her; that she would be converted and come back home. Many
friends, both in the church and outside, supported this prayer.
For two whole years.
Gerda
In the
meantime, Gerda had moved with a boyfriend in his house. It went
well in the beginning, but when Gerda, who had believed in God
her entire life, tried to talk to her boyfriend about it, he was
not interested. Instead he became jealous and began to control
Gerda in everything, in fear of losing her. The eldest son
didn’t like that his brother lived under such circumstances,
so in 1996 he
kidnapped
his brother - What a fuss, but it ended with little
brother staying with dad. When little brother learnt what had
happened with his father and big brother, he too found Christ.
In 1998 Boerge and the sons went to a Bible camp on bicycle and
roller skates and on the way the visited Gerda. The sons tried
to convince the mother to go with them, but she said no. Boerge
and the sons was well installed at the camp with their tent. The
next day it was raining a lot, but at noon the sun came out and
Boerge was outside enjoying the sun. Suddenly
he saw a well known figure
dragging a bicycle,
soaking wet and looking like a drowned mouse.
God are able to do more for you,
than you even can imagine.
(Ephesians 3,20)
(Many scriptures in this testimony are a description
of
the essence of the verses in any kind of bible versions)
Gerda's
way to salvation
When
Boerge and the sons left, Gerda started to think and discovered
that this life here, it can't go on anymore. The next day she
took her old worn bicycle, which had not been used for several
years and some few belongings and sat the
course towards the Bible camp in pouring
rain. For a while, she had had a job, where her arm got very
bad, so on the way she prayed to God, that both the bike
and the arm would hold. Every time she heard a car behind her,
she hid in the ditch because she was afraid, it would be her
boyfriend coming to bring her back. But it went well; The bike
held and God healed her arm on the way. When she arrived at
the camp, soaking wet, very tired and dragging her bike, she met
an unforgettable sight. She saw Boerge standing, looking
like he was waiting for her. He looked happy and had a mild
expression. After they had greeted each other, she thought;
"What a change. How is it possible?" Even though all
rooms were occupied, she was
lucky to get a room because of a
cancellation, and there she was installed.
They joined the evening meeting, with worship songs, preaching
and a mood, Gerda had never experienced before, neither in the
Baptist church she had experienced in her childhood, nor later
in the Lutheran church.
When she went to sleep, she prayed to God, that if this was
real, then He had to give her a sign. She saw the New Testament
on the bedside table, took it, and flipped randomly to the
parable of "The lost Son." Luke 15:11-32. She
exclaimed: "Oh, that's me!
God, you have a great sense of
humour. It can be called a clear hint. Suddenly
she was filled with something wonderful, and she felt she was
floating one meter over the bed. Was she really floating? She
couldn't figure it out afterwards.
They stayed at the camp the rest of the week. After the camp,
the eldest son went back home. Boerge and the youngest son
visited Boerges elder brother. Gerda didn't
quite know what to do,
because she had nothing planned apart from getting away from her
boyfriend. She decided to go with Boerge and the youngest son,
so they borrowed a small tent, which she could sleep in on the
way.
When they put up the tents at the first tent camp and went to
sleep, the son resolutely jumped into the smallest tent and with
a grin he said: "Gooooood night mum and dad". Boerge
and Gerda hadn’t talked about getting back together again, but
was now forced to sleep in the same tent.
After the family visit and back home at Boerge's place, Gerda wanted to find
a nearby flat, so she could be near the sons, but it ended up
with her staying there permanently. They remarried in 1999 and
call it their "Recycle marriage". Gerda got saved,
found Jesus and got back the Boerge of her youth.
Shortly after coming home, Gerda was thinking: "What about
all the money I had invested in me and my boyfriend’s shared
house? How can I get them back? Should the boyfriend just keep
them?" She went into the nearby church, where she prayed to
God to find an answer. Suddenly God said: "Abandon all and
I will give you all". Matt. 6,24-34. She found that
she didn't need to claim her rights, but just let the boyfriend
keep it all, even though she had the right to claim half of the
value of the house. God would take care of her going forward.
And this He has done ever since, although He didn't make them
rich, and there have been times, where they had to turn every
coin.

Here is what to do:
A
PERSONAL MEETING WITH THE REAL JESUS
1. RECOGNITION: All
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans.
3:23) God! be merciful to me a sinner! (Luke 18:13). In the light of God's word, it is realized
that we are sinners.
2. REPENTANCE: We
must have a sincere desire to break with sin once and for
all. If you do not repent, you will perish in the same way
(Luke 13:3). Therefore, change your mind and repent,
so that your sins may be blotted out. (Acts 3:19).
3. CONFESSION: The
Lord is waiting for our confession of sin and for us to
show faith. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and
fair, so He forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all
unfairness. (1. John 1:19) ....when you confess
Jesus as Lord with your mouth, and believe in your heart
that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Rome.
10:9).
4.
FAITH: Faith in Jesus finished work on the
cross...God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Whoever believes and is
baptized will
be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. (Mark
16:16) .
You must accept Jesus
Christ in your heart by faith and believe that God raised
Him from the dead before you experience the reality of the
new spiritual birth in your life (John 3:1-13) - "He came to His
own, and His own did not receive Him. But to all who
received Him, He gave power to become children of God. (John 1:9-13) .
PRECIOUS
OF THE HEART THIS OR
A SIMILAR PRAYER AND BE SAVED:
"Dear
Jesus, I come to you as you are, and I pray this prayer
from the heart: I turn to you and choose to believe that
you are the Son of God, that you atoned for my sin on the
cross and died there, but that You arose again. I
acknowledge that I have sin in my life, and I am sincerely
sorry that I have transgressed God's law. I believe that
the blood You shed on the cross is the only thing that can
cleanse my sin away again and I ask You for forgiveness
for all that I have done wrong in mind, thought and action
and I turn away from sin now and invite You into my heart
and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I also forgive those
who have hurt me and renounce evil and want to follow You
from today. I ask You that You will cleanse me from my sin
and with the help of Your Holy Spirit help me through my
life, so that my life's journey can one day end in the
kingdom of God. I say thank you because You want to save
me. With your help, I will confess you to other people.
Amen.
(The mission command in Matthew
28:16-20 and Mark. 16:15-20)
(Read it below)
When
you have prayed this prayer from your heart,
then
you have taken one of the most important steps for your
salvation, but along with this comes the baptism of faith
as described in the Bible. It is also important that you
now repent of the sin, because otherwise you are just
about to lose it all again. Matt. 7:21 says that not
everyone who says Lord, Lord to Jesus will enter the
kingdom of God, but only those who do God's will. It is
thus your task now to stick to your decision to follow
Jesus. Read a little in the Bible every day, preferably
start with the New Testament, because the Old Testament
can be a bit heavy at the beginning. Begin to pray, and
through this learn to get your strength and wisdom from
God himself, then you will be a good helper in your life,
as well as when you die, and you will be brought home to
the kingdom of God. Your life is important. Your journey
starts here. Where do you want to go? One journey - two
destinations – Heaven or Hell. Choose the right path.
If you have prayed this prayer and decided to do God's
will, then:
WELCOME
TO THE FAMILY OF GOD.
In
addition, it is also important that you find a spiritual
church that teaches the correct doctrine, where you read
as it says, believe as it says and do as it says.
BUT read and examine for yourself what is written
especially
in "The New Testamentente”

And what is it
you will be saved from -
It is, of course, Hell -
And what are you saved to - In addition to having a good
life with Jesus here on earth, it is of course also to
come home to Jesus in Heaven on the day you die. -

(The
Mission Command
in Matthew
28:16-20)
”Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy host: Teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
(KJV)
and in
Mark 16:15-19)
”And
he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature. He
that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned. And
these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They
shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they
shall recover”.
(KJV)
Jesus'
words about the World Judgment in Mattew.
25, vers 31-46 KJV
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep
from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand,
but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on
his right hand, Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world: For
I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave
me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye
clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye
came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord,
when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave
thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or
naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison,
and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he
say also unto them on the left hand, Depart
from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no
meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger,
and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in
prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister
unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye
did it not to me. And these shall go away
into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Everlasting
punishment
/ everlasting fire
= Hell
Life

Heaven / Kingdom of God
