When I choose the proper time,
I will judge uprightly.
The earth and all its inhabitants are dissolved;
I set up its pillars firmly. Selah
Psalm 75:2-3
Dear brothers and sisters,
actually I wanted to write already for a long time about something else. But after what has happened to me on the 29.10.07 and since I returned recently from a country which very often gets beaten by earthquakes, I have to write and warn about the following:
Whenever I saw myself praying in dreams for Switzerland, I saw myself as a woman giving birth, sighing and moaning, without words, but with an incredible intensity, which one can not imitate. The Holy Ghost complains about our country and about the nations!
On the 14.06.03 I could sense that everything was moving underneath me. I knew that it was an earthquake and that I should get up and stand in the shelter of the doorframe. But I slept so deep, that I did not have the power to do it! I woke up scared, but sometime later I fell a sleep again. Then I had the second dream: I saw myself in a room, sitting all alone in a corner. In the room were some brothers and sisters. The pastor or leader who was among said: Come lets go to this woman, she has the anointing. They came and laid their hands on me. At this very moment I started to moan like a woman giving birth, but without words. But it was terrible and I knew that I was crying, groaning and moaning about what will come over Switzerland.
On the 28.01.01, about 1 ½ years earlier I saw myself with a sister on the mountains. The soil was so soft, that it was very dangerous, even to take a step. Suddenly I saw complete mountainsides slide down. On the whole it was of gigantic dimensions. I saw the people trying to sell their houses and to move away, but who would have liked to buy? I saw plenty of people on the move searching for a save place and I said: Where should we go, Switzerland is full of mountains!
On the 29.10.07 I was experiencing again an earthquake in my sleep. After I also fell a sleep again, I saw myself walking around in this renewed dream, asking a group of people:” Was there an earthquake?” They were answering with a clear NO. Then I said: So GOD has shown me all this, that I should warn the people.
Some of you might know, that I have made 7 days praying marches in all the capital cities of the cantons; always accompanied by a sister or my husband. Before I started with these praying marches, a sister told me, that she has seen me in a dream with a banner in my hand walking the streets. Her interpretation was, that I would do all this out of wrong ambitions, because I want to be somebody, because I am proud etc., etc.
If somebody tells me something, then I first check it out. And so I have asked the LORD over and over again about this matter, if I should start at all with these praying marches or if I should leave it. Is the whole thing his inspiration, is my motivation right? And … and … and … soon I noticed that I have become depressive and I could not decide clearly anymore. I knew already at that time, that earthquakes would come and so I felt, that if I would not do what the LORD has laid on my heart, I would be guilty to. The next day when I was again communicating with the LORD about what to do, I was in the room of my son, where I was supposed to clear the newspapers away and one was one laying open. I was so astonished!
There was a whole page full of a report on earthquakes in Switzerland and the title was: Earthquakes, the number one danger in Switzerland! There one could read a whole lot about this real danger and that Switzerland with all the knowledge about earthquakes was neither prepared for it, nor where the building regulations heeded.
When I read it, I knew what I had to do. I broke every curse on me and my ministry; and every spiritual prayer on me. Then I was free of depressions, the joy and the clarity came back and I knew, that I had to start with the praying marches.
Why am I writing about all this? Just to frighten? No, I just want to warn you. Brothers and sisters bring your house and your life in order, because we are facing apocalyptic catastrophes. Did you know, that 400 years ago through earthquakes at the Lake of Lucerne, disastrous Tsunamis were generated and that, according to the scientists the same could happen again?
While I am writing this letter the sun is shining outside, the sky is smiling and the economists say, that Switzerland is very fine and it is getting even better and better. Who will take this letter serious? Everything is still looking so marvelous? It is the same as in Noah’s time: they ate, they drank, they bought, they planted, they built – but the Flood came and it killed them all.
Brothers and sisters JESUS said: When you see all this, then lift your heads and rejoice, because your salvation is near. How many of us are rejoicing when we hear about catastrophes? Only few! Why? Because we are still so carnally minded.
You all surly know, that during the last months again various prophets have come to Switzerland, mainly from America. What did these Prophets say? That the sky is open over Switzerland, that the next year will be even better! How can these people say something like this? Don’t they know that the sky over Switzerland, Europe and America is made of Granite with a small hole and under this hole we are working in the streets?
How can these people say something like this, when even every blind and every dove notices, senses that enormous catastrophes are heading towards us? You don’t even have to be a prophet to know what is going to come. Do these people not know that the pornographic Babylon Hollywood, Los Angeles and so on will be destroyed? How much destruction and filth has it brought across the whole world! Do these people not know that the economic Babylon New York will be destroyed? What brother David Wilkerson has predicted about 30 years ago is soon going to happen.
Don’t these people know what is going to come over America, Europe and the whole world? About 20 years ago, when I was still fresh in the faith, I had a strange dream: I saw that Russia will be attacking the US, via Alaska. Wired, that’s what I thought at that time. But a few months ago, I received the homepage of a Rumanian pastor to reed; in 1984 he had to move to the US to warn them. When I went through his prophecies I read that an angel of GOD has showed him, that Russia will attack America through Alaska, before they will attack Europe.
Then I knew that the dream was from the LORD. Do you notice the rising of Russia? Do you notice that the US is just about to collapse? I love the US, I don’t want its destruction, at least America has always made itself strong for the persecuted Christians. But the sins of the Americans cry to heaven! The LORD is tired of the porn industry of Los Angeles, the adoration of the mammon of New York and from there in to the whole world, enough of the prosperity evangelism which is denying the cross etc. etc.
When the LORD is coming with severe judgment against America, what is he going to do to us, the ones who have already the gospel for 2000 years?
Do these prophets not know it? Why don’t they warn the people of GOD? Why do they still preach so cautiously? Do you know why? Go to Second Chronicle 18, …and read the whole chapter, there are mentioned 400 prophets of the LORD. These were not false prophets, they were prophets of the LORD. What did they tell king Ahab: Just go to war, the LORD is with you, you will be the vanquisher. Only Micah told the truth although he had to go to jail for this. And what else did Micah say in Verse 22: The LORD has given the spirit of lays in to the mouths of these, your prophets … Why? Do you want to know the answer? Go to the New Testament, Thessalonians 2:10 … because they did not take in the love for the truth, GOD sends them the power of seducement, so they will believe in lays … Do you want to know the truth? The LORD does not just away with false prophets or prophets who have made compromises; to the contrary, HE just allows them to check your and my heart.
Have you got your pink glasses on? Don’t you here the supple voice of the Holy Ghost, which is warning you; then be ready for seduction if you are not yet already entangled in it. How is it possible, that at least 80% of the Christians are just happily living for themselves, hardly caring about the lost, hardly seeking the LORD and still are listening to the nice preaching of the prophets who are calming them at times like these?
When I was in a foreign country the LORD made it clear to me in a dream, that I have to test everything, even the preaching and writhing of people who I know personally. If something is soothing me instead of challenging me, then I don’t have to receive it.
A few months ago I got a CD with a good sermon on it to listen to. The brother said: The LORD has told him that he, the man is holy and we are very unholy …. The whole would have been very good, if not for the fact, that the brother was preaching in a way that the people had to laugh all the time. About what? About their sins and weaknesses.
It is always said, that we can not command repentance, the LORD has to generate it, that is correct. But if a preacher is making the congregation always laugh, you can forget the repentance. Did you ever experience people who went, after much laughing on to their knees?
I didn’t. You leave the assembly and you think ….. oh this was nice again.
How I see it, there is neither in Switzerland nor in any other western country a move for repentance on its way. The party goes on ……. its easy, its called worshipping.
How can we sincerely worship the LORD if we live in disobedience, in rebellion and only few live up to their calling. Only a few are caring about anything else, then only about themselves. And guess what? Don’t take a stone and throw it at the prophet. It is difficult to tell the truth. Just imagine somebody would get up at our nice services or conferences and said: Congregation turn round or else the LORD will take away your chandelier!
Do you know what will happen then? This person will be thrown out! And if he was invited, they won’t invite him again, the folks will say: What kind of a negative person is this, lawful, religious ……
People of the LORD, …. it is not only the fault of the prophets, they only tell you exactly what you want to hear. How about, if the leaders and the people of the LORD would encourage the prophets to speak clearly, instead of silencing them? People of the LORD pray for the prophets, because difficult times are ahead of them. If plenty of Christians don’t get saved, or if the prosecution is going to come, or all these disasters, then plenty of people will attack the prophets and the leaders and accuse them.
Pray for the prophets who have made compromises for the fear of man, that they will repent and turn round, that their souls can still be saved. Pray also for the TV evangelists, that they should repent. A congress man in the US is demanding of 6 well-known TV evangelists, that they should lay open their financial situation. If it all will erupt in to scandals, it is going to hit us all and most of all the name of JESUS.
And finally: People of the LORD take yourself to judgment, for you have misled the prophets of the LORD to decay, because you have only honored what suited you. To say the truth costs a lot, even lives. Salvation is for free, but to follow Christ takes everything. Amen.
How I mentioned earlier I travelled to a country which is shaken regularly by earthquakes and still feels very save. I was, by the grace of the LORD, for 12 days in Tokyo, Japan. Already on my way there I sat next to a Japanese. After I have told him a thing or two about the bible and Jesus, he sad: For a long time he wanted to read the bible, but up to now he didn’t get at it. Is it not beautiful, the LORD has seen his heart and I was allowed to give him the bible in Japanese and the address of a congregation in Tokyo. When I was walking round praying in Tokyo, I always had to marvel at the wealth and at everything the Japanese have built up after the war. It looked to me like the Japanese have continued to build the tower of Babylon. You can’t imagine this if you haven’t seen it! The people are very proud; in the natural they would have every reason for this. But they are also very friendly and helpful. You can’t hardly have a look at the road map without them asking you, if they can help you. And they would go miles with you, if you have troubles to find a place. The Japanese are in their own country completely different then here, if I want to contact them, they flee.
In Japan the situation is like in the western world. The materialism is even worse then here, the people live to work, they have even more excessive wealth then we have, (of course there are poor people too), it seems that only the best is good enough for the Japanese and quality stuff is sometimes cheaper to get then in our Country.
The LORD has given me a heart for the Japanese. The only problem was the language, only a few speak good English, but in spite of this I could hand out several hundreds of tracts and new testaments. A lot of the people were refusing, but a lot of them were positively surprised.
Surely it does not often happen to them, if at all, that somebody is mentioning JESUS to them. I was told: You can not talk about sin with the Japanese, they won’t understand it …. I was communicating very well with them, if I was talking about rebellion against GOD, they were laughing shyly; they knew very well what I meant. A young man asked me, if there is a GOD, why do we then have such misery in the world? I thought: “Look at this; even the Japanese have the same questions as the Swiss.”
For example, I was approaching a young man. His English was good and he told me, that his girlfriend is a believer from California. But she told him, that he doesn’t have to become a Christian because of her, only if he wanted to! Then I told him, he doesn’t have to become a Christian because of his girlfriend, but for the sake of his sole …… He was very open and I believe that he will come to JESUS. But I don’t want to encourage to marry unbelievers, because not all of them come to JESUS!
In Japan I have experienced something which otherwise I don’t know so well. Whenever I saw elderly people, my thoughts were fixed on the idea, that when they dye, they will go to hell. And so I always rushed after them to give them a tract or the New Testament.
I remember very well an old man who saw, that I rushed to catch up with him and was waiting for me.
If I com to think that hardly anybody is doing the work for the LORD, it pains me. When I asked the pastor of a ministry if he had some tracts for me, he said that he hasn’t got any, because they don’t evangelize anymore, because every week, through connections, a few new people would join the parish.
Oh my goodness, can we have connections with 130 million people? Of course there are some missionaries, but first of all the country is huge, 3000 km from north to south and secondly not every missionary is in the streets; a lot of them are in the offices. Japan has 1% Christians, it is not much, but with 130 million inhabitants it gives an enormous figure. Just imagine this one million Christians would set 1000 or even 10000 missionaries free for their own country!
Would this be possible? Of course, if everybody would completely surrender him- or herself. Why is it not being done? Because we spend a lot of our time, power and money for a good life here on earth.
When a woman in a community told me, what a nice conference they had, I told her she should rather go with a group to the Yoyogi Park. There are so many people gathered there and some play music, - go there and sing of JESUS ….. She replied: The folks are not interested! This is only part of the truth, a lot of them don’t want, but a lot of others, specially the young ones do want, and if you think what a free life they lead ……
Do you know what is the difference between a Japanese and a European? If you tell a European that we are heading towards an apocalypse, then most of them know what you mean, but the Japanese ask: What do you mean?
What a great responsibility we have if we don’t warn the people and if we don’t educate them! I was able to sow some seeds in Japan, in spite of the difficulties with the language.
On my way back I sat next to a Japanese, his sister is a Christian, but he wasn’t. So I was able to witness again, and to encourage him to com to Christ. I had a good time, a blessed time in Japan and I have taken the country and the people in to my heart.
It is a privilege to me to bring the gospel to the people. Throw all your fear of men away like a coat and be a witness for JESUS CHRIST.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Amen!
Isaiah 60:1,2
May the peace of the LORD be with you
