ONCE I had no identity as a person. First Peter 2:10 (NLT)
ONCE I received no mercy. First Peter 2:10 (NLT)
ONCE I was under the power of Satan. Acts 26:15-18
ONCE I belonged to the devil. John 8:42-47 In John 8:44 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire.'”
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
But NOW I am light in the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-10 Now I want to live as a child of light and I want to do what pleases the Lord. What does the fruit of light consists in? The Bible teaches that the fruit of light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth. I am also reading that the deeds of darkness are fruitless.
NOW I am a child of God. First Peter 2:10 (NLT)
But NOW I have received mercy. First Peter 2:10 (NLT)
But NOW I am under God. Acts 26:15-18 I have received forgiveness of sins and I have received a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus.
But NOW I belong to God. John 8:42-47 Now I hear what God says.
I am praising the Lord, that I have been under God most of the time of my life.
Almost 55 years ago I passed from darkness to light and began a new life. My second birthday was on the 2nd of September 1958.
The Lord led me to a Bible school (Bibelschule Brake) in Germany, and I worked as a missionary in Thailand (WEC International) and here in New Zealand (United Maori Mission), where I live now.
