Yesterday we had church. Great time. Singing, NGE-Info, Sermon, Infos - all seemed very inspiring. The Berlin Church is amazing! I tried to teach my QT-point form Luk1. The point is amazing - Not faith was required but just facts given. Faith is something deeper. It is the connection of my heart, soul and spirit to God - from whom i know he is here. Therefor it makes sense to me, that Paul talks about missing thankfulness to God in the beginning as reason for the loss of faith. In the beginning they knew why they were here. God made them. But they stopped being thankful for God - the heart connection was lost.
My wife went to church later. She saw a guy who was selling Homlessnewspaper. Somehow Dasha felt the need to talk to him. She invited him to church. He sad - i can not come, i have to sell the newspaper. Dasha sad - so come next week. But then the guy did come to church. He was so happy. He told everyone: 'I have been invited!' Next week he is coming again! Dasha is following the spirit of God. I want to learn from it.
Luk1,5-20
It is about Zacharias and his Wife. They both did what was right before God. They had no kids. They both were very old. > This is the presentation of the Bible for this two old faithful people.
Then Zacharias was chosen to go in the temple.
And the People prayed outside when Zacharias went in the temple.
Then
The Angel of the Lord appeared to Zacharias.
Zacharias see the Angle and is amazed and terrified.
The Angel sais:
DO NOT BE AFRAID
Your prayer has been answered
1. Your wife Elisabeth will have a child
2. She will have a Son
You shall give him the name JOHN
3. You will have joyful about him - he will be a delight to you
4. He will make a lot of people glad
5. He will be important in the Lords eyes
6. He will not drink wine ore such drinks
7. He will be filled with the holy spirit from his birth
8. He will bring many of Israel beck to the Lord
9. He will prepare the way of the Lord
10. He will have the same spirit and power like Elijah
11. He will teach parents how to love their children
12. He will also teach people who don't obey to be wise and do what is right.

13. He will prepare a people who are ready for the Lord

After this amazing list of promises Zacharias response was:

“How can I be sure of this? I am an old man, and my wife is old too.”

The answer of the Angel:

I am Gabriel

I serve God

I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

And now you will have to be silent

You will not be able to speak until after John is born

That's because you did not believe my words

They will come true when the time is right

Zacharias and Elisabeth were people who did what was right before God.

But when God came the Angel had to say:

Because you did not believe 

The first time the word 'believe' comes up in the Gospel of Luk.

It does not come in the introduction

It does not come, when Zacharias and Elisabeth are described

It does obviously not come up when the Angel is there

But it does come up when the Angel finished all the promise

> DO I BELIEVE, WHAT GOD PROMISED ME?

my words

The Angel is not saying anything about his appearance

He sais MY WORDS

> MY FATH IS BUILD ON THE WORD OF GOD - DO I KNOW THE PROMISE FROM GOD FOR TODAY?

God give me faith for today - that all the time you are here. You never leave me. You would use even the smallest thing i do with faith in you.

God help me to believe in you, to believe you today!

Give me a different perspective

Your perspective!

Thank you that i could read today again

Your word is amazing!
