How moving it was, as the third baptism came around. Everything was in a beautifully sequence:
Ingrid, a creative movement instructor from Switzerland, was deeply moved after reading the book "Die Tränen Gottes (The Tears Of God)" by Markus Richner, which was recommended to her by a colleague. After reading it, she looked into other books from the Urs-Heinz Naegeli publishing house and discovered the book "Heilen Wie Jesus (Healing Like Jesus)". After that it was extremely clear for her, where she had to go.
When she arrived to the Hotel Paldina for the seminar and got into her room, she was astonished, not by poor accommodations, but by what she saw when she looked our from her window: "Yeah, down there is where I attend a Yoga course at a spiritual center and during the middle of my meditation times I was visited by Jesus. What will I experience in this week?"
Later, she was walking and discoed that the center had been changed into a Centro Evangelico (Evangelical Center). During this week the same happed to her. She experienced being born again and may be excited because her own spiritual center has been transform.
What actually happed with the people, who participated in the seminar week? With a great joy we have stated that God leads the way. With Ingrid, for example, I invited her to go to a free church in a town without knowing the church myself. When I got home I found out that I was invited to speak at an evangelical service at the very same church in June.
With Michael and his girlfriend from Berlin, we were astonished when we found out that they live in detect proximity of Ben Seidl. Ben is an American theology student, who is in the prose of translating Heilen Wie Jesus (Healing Like Jesus) and was "by chance" in Tessin for the week. Ben lives directly in the middle of Michael and his girlfriend.
There was even and other surprise: On the last day I was able to introduce the Nonmedical Practitioner (A.K.A. a healer) from Belgium and his wife to Evangelical Pastor and his wife, whose ministry is in a nearby bordering region of Germany.
We pray and believe that Jesus Christ will do things here as well and not forsake anyone. Echoes from the participants come in all the time. A woman, who also entrusted her life to Jesus, confirmed that she could now write E-mails at the computer without her glasses. She wrote me and said that it is clear to her now that she may not heal any more with Reiki symbols. Though she is not yet clear, why she should also stop with Shiatsu.
She promised God and a consoler, who was on the team from Pastor Michael Herrmann that came during the second half of the seminar, to quit. As a matter of fact, she will keep the promise to no longer practice.
As you can see, there is still much more to do, for those who want to convert their healing practice, step by step until Jesus Christ stands in the center. In Germany spiritual healing is not freely permitted. How does that stand with Christ Centered healing? When will this be accepted? Questions upon questions. You can guess, that there is still a lot that need to happen.
Not to mention the partial healings: a woman with hip problems was alleviated from very sharp pains. She also took Jesus was her Redeemer. An other participate was partly freed from a hoarsely sounding voice and she was completely healed from constant cough. At this time we are not able to truly estimate the totally outcome of everything that happen. Again I can think of an other participate from Germany, who had a strong occult infused burden (one could also say demon possession) at the seminar and experienced an almost complete release. She is going to take up further consoling, in order to be completely healed from it as well as associated internal injuries.
During the whole week we felt an enormous amount of prayer support. We are so grateful and thankful to all the intercessors the supported us. We are confident of this, that Jesus will carry out to completion the good work that he has begun in us, until the day of his return (Phil. 6).
In there entire German Speaking World there where prayers being said for this seminar week. This is was done by individuals, in additions to prayer groups in church, as well as 24 hour prayer. We also received concrete that in Paris and Seattle (USA) there was prayer for this seminar. I also have a great joy knowing that Gott hilft- Werk (God helps- Work, ministry in Switzerland) stood behind this project and will also in coming seminar week from the 8th 15th of November 2003.
