“2019 in der Prophezeiung!” (2019 in Prophecy), has received over 33,000 views during the past week on our AufPostenStehen German language program, which was presented by Norbert Link.

“How America Is Destroying Itself… Terrible Consequences of the Shutdown,” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Was Abraham Lincoln right when he prophesied that America would destroy itself? Sadly, the crazy government shutdown gives us a foretaste of what is going to happen. Millions upon millions of people are already affected, and it will get much worse, as this program shows. The Bible condemns very strongly what is happening, but most people are sound asleep.

“Wie man Depressionen überwinden kann,” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “How to Overcome Depression.” “Die Macht der Emotionen,”  the German sermonette presented last Sabbath by Mario Danisch, is now posted. Title in English: “The Power of Emotions.”

“The Ongoing Shutdown– Comments on News and Prophecy (January 5, 2019),” the presentation last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The partial government shutdown is continuing, with no end in sight. President Trump claimed it may last months, if not years. Food, tax, transport, trash collection and much more are being threatened. Most Americans are opposed to the shutdown, but what would be a swift solution to end this and future shutdowns caused by bickering politicians, once and for all?

“Don’t Delay,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

What is it that we should be focusing on and preparing for so we are not caught off guard in the soon coming end times, while the rest of the world, especially the English speaking nations, are sound asleep? How can this be and what does the Bible say about this very fact? What is prophesied for 2019, especially what’s happening in Europe which can cause things to develop very quickly?

“Saul’s Demon,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

With whom did King Saul and the witch of Endor communicate? Was it indeed the dead prophet Samuel, as some commentaries claim, who told Saul about the future, even though God had refused to talk to him through prophets? Or are other commentaries correct, which state that it was a demon who pretended to be Samuel? Could Saul’s prior experiences with a demon be significant? What does God tell us about demons and those who want to consult the dead?

“2019 in Prophecy!” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

What will 2019 bring? This program sets forth some of the events which newscasters expect to occur, and compares them with biblical prophecy, covering such diverse topics as new challenges for Europe; the desire to build a European army in light of American unreliability and threats from Russia; the power vacuum in the Middle East; Russia’s threats towards Israel; the lack of leadership in Germany; the Brexit; the disastrous stock market and the fragile American economy.

“2019 in der Prophezeiung!” is the title of a new AufPostenStehen program in which Norbert Link presents the same topic as described above—in German.

“Der dritte Tempel kommt bald!” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “The Third Temple Will Arrive Soon!”

“Are We Standing Our Ground?” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris is now posted. Here is a summary:

The posturing of a divided U.S. government has reached a point to cause another partial government shutdown. Appearance based upon shallow values, as usual, is the crux of why political parties draw lines in the sand and make their ideological stands. As Christians, we cannot allow misguided principles to become the root of our beliefs because they will lead us away from the truth.

“Everyone,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The plan of God is vastly inclusive in the way that everyone has either had an opportunity, or will have an opportunity to be part of His glorious family and live eternally. The justice built into God’s plan is amazing!

“Mein Kampf” (in English: “My Struggle”), the German sermonette presented last Sabbath by Johann Schell, is now posted.

“How To Keep the Sabbath,” is the title of a new booklet written by Evangelist Norbert Link. This booklet has entered the initial editorial process, and it is planned for printing early next year.

“Sauls Dämon–Was uns das Buch Samuel lehrt, Teil 4,” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “Saul’s Demon–What the Book of Samuel Teaches Us, Part 4.”

“Above All Things,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In the Bible, the imaging of hot and cold is applied to love. The warning for Christians is to not let their love fail as evil grows ever more powerful.

“Balance through ‘The Way’ of Christ,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The teachings of Christ, often referred to as “The Way”, offer mankind balance and a reward of eternal life. True balance does not equate to acceptance of worldly ideals. We must be careful to not fall into the trap of most professing Christians and allow Satanically inspired teachings to lead us away from the path Christ has clearly set before us.

A new Member Letter (December 2018) is now posted, and it has been mailed to our subscribers. Pastor Dave Harris reports on initial plans for the Ministerial Conference, Feast of Tabernacles and new booklets; notes growth in the impact of our video postings; and points to the role of Truth in our lives.

“Does God Bless Our Christmas Celebrations?” is the title of a new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Ninety percent of Americans celebrate Christmas, but only a slight majority observe it as a religious holiday. Many who keep Christmas do not even believe in the virgin birth. In many countries, a demonic creature is celebrated around this time of year, which has become popular in the USA as well. Did you know that Christmas was not an official holiday in the USA until after the Civil War? Why is there so much anxiety, grief, depression, increase of heart attacks and alcoholism associated with Christmas? And why do we, as a Christian nation, willfully lie to our children about it and become upset with those who tell the Truth?

“Hidden Secrets of the Bible,” is the title of a new Global Trailer, presented by Pastor Brian Gale. You can also find his presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALEv_G5fS0k.

Sauls Rebellion—Was uns der Prophet Samuel lehrt! Teil 3,” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English:  “Saul’s Rebellion—What the Prophet Samuel Teaches Us! Part 3.”

Allgemeine Missverständnisse — Weihnachten und Neujahr!” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermonette, presented by Pastor Michael Link. Title in English: “Common Misconceptions—Christmas and New Year’s.”

“Endless Encouragement,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Living in a world that is so antagonistic against the Way of God can become wearying. Where can we look to find encouragement when we need it most?

“Who Are The Gentiles?” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Dave Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:

Jesus spoke prophetically about the times of the Gentiles being fulfilled. Who are the Gentiles He is referring to, and what does the biblical designation of people in this way actually mean?

“USA and EU on Collision Course” is the title of the new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Germany has a new leader for Angela Merkel’s party (the CDU).  Her course towards Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will be tougher. She advocates helping Ukraine militarily against Russia, and she wants to reintroduce the draft in Germany. However, most Americans and Brits show a “worrying lack of knowledge or interest” in history and what is happening now, being totally oblivious to the signs of the time. Europe is anxious to replace trade transactions in US dollars with the euro, and Washington’s patience with European “obstructionism” in high-stakes trade negotiations is wearing thin, being willing to do “whatever it takes” to protect American interests. Where will all of this end?

“Was uns der Prophet Samuel lehrt! Teil 2,” is the title of this Sabbath’s German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “What the Prophet Samuel Teaches Us! Part 2.”

“By the Power of God,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The power of God is incredible and yet His Word shows us that we can at this time call upon and partake in some of this power now. Once we are a God being we will have the same power that God and Christ have, but we can use this power in small quantities in accordance with their Will at this present time. But it takes having a close relationship with them to be able to do so.

“A Future Hope,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Michael Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

There are many things that we hope for in this life but what is it that we should hope for in the time ahead? How is our relationship with God and how should we be living our lives at this moment so we can hope for and be part of a much better future?

Spiritual Growth

Having eight grandsons, my wife and I are regularly noting how much the boys are growing as the weeks, months and years go by. This is especially apparent when we view their older photos. Human growth is a miraculous occurrence. From conception forward, there is an astonishing and wondrous development of life culminating in birth. Likewise, the young grow into maturity—all a process of God’s creative power!

There is a parallel in spiritual growth.

We are called by God to become His sons and daughters (2 Corinthians 6:18). That begins with our spiritual begettal when God gives us His Holy Spirit and culminates when we are changed from flesh to spirit. While many Scriptures describe this (compare 1 Corinthians 15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 1 John 3:1-3), note that the Bible also reveals this change takes place after a period of time.

Very specifically, the Church and ministry are established to help in our spiritual growth, “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13; compare also, 2 Peter 3:18). We know that Jesus Christ is the example to apply in order to measure our spiritual growth (1 Peter 2:21). He did not sin (Hebrews 4:15; 1 John 3:5); He conquered His own human nature (Romans 8:3-4); He overcame the world (John 16:33); and He defeated Satan (Matthew 4:10; John 12:31; 14:30).

How are we doing by His standard? Are we, more and more, “bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5)? Can we say that “we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16; Philippians 2:5)? Is our constant goal to become perfect just like God is perfect (Matthew 5:48)? Can we say that we are a stronger Christian now than when God first called us?

Jesus gives us a powerful key for spiritual growth, and it is for us to focus on overcoming those things which are contrary to God’s Will. This is His message to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3.

The Apostle Peter wrote, saying, “…brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure” (2 Peter 1:10), and in verses 5-9, he noted how Christians are to do this:

“But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

If we grow spiritually, then we have this incomparable promise: “For so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:11).

We are very sad to announce the death of long-time member and deacon, Bill Grams, on December 1, 2018. His wife, Nancy Grams, thanks everyone for their prayers during this difficult time.

“George H.W. Bush and the German Reunification” is the title of the new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The late American President George H.W. Bush has been described as a gentleman, a generous and true American patriot and a “stroke of luck” for the Germans. From a prophetic standpoint, his most important accomplishment was his contribution to the German reunification. This program describes the events in 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, and points out the close friendship between President Bush and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. But neither Bush nor Kohl anticipated what would subsequently transpire; nor, what is still prophesied to happen in the future.

A German AufPostenStehen program, covering the same topic, was also published. Title in German: “George H.W. Bush, Helmut Kohl und die deutsche Wiedervereinigung“  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_q-sOZGFF0

Our monthly Tech Team meeting was held on Sunday, December 2, 2018, via SKYPE. Hosted by Eric Rank, updating our web host, review of hacking attempts, video production and factors relating to our web page were covered.

“Was uns der Prophet Samuel lehrt!” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. Title in English: “What the Prophet Samuel Teaches Us.”

Comments on News and Prophecy (December 1, 2018),” the message presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In this edition, we are addressing new developments in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict; the G-20 summit and President Trump’s cancellation of a press conference because of respect for the death of George H.W. Bush and his refusal to meet with Vladimir Putin and Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman; the military collaboration of Germany and France because of Brexit; Germany’s public support for increase in defense spending; different viewpoints of Americans and Germans in regard to the US-German friendship; the economic consequences of a border closure between the US and Mexico; the many recent earthquakes in Alaska; and the reasons as to why a prominent writer left the Catholic Church.

“Let Us Be Clean and Holy!” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

As members of the spiritual Body of Christ we must be clean and holy, and we may think many times that we are, but may deceive ourselves. We must recognize our uncleanness and eradicate it with God’s help.

How Will the New Russian-Ukrainian Conflict Be ‘Solved’?” is the title of the new StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

The Russian blockade of the Azov Sea and the capture of three Ukrainian ships and sailors caused the USA and the EU to condemn Russia for violating international law, but Russia denies this and couldn’t care less. Even though Ukraine is asking NATO and the EU, including Germany, for further economic sanctions and military intervention, this does not seem to be likely. What, then, is going to happen? History from World War II and the Bible give us answers.

A German AufPostenStehen program, covering the same topic, was also published. Title in German: Wie der neue Konflikt der Ukraine mit Russland ‘gelöst’ wird!”

“What the BIBLE Says on the Brexit Debacle,” is the title of a recent StandingWatch program, presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:

Much has been reported on present and future Brexit negotiations, the real or possible adoption of legally binding or not-binding deals, and further developments and potential outcomes. This can be confusing at times. This program will bring clarity and tell you what the Bible prophesies regarding the EU and Great Britain.

Warum Christus bald zurückkommt!” is the title of this Sabbath’s new German sermon, presented by Norbert Link. In English: “Why Christ Will Come Back Soon!”

Comments on News and Prophecy (November 24, 2018),” the first message presented last Sabbath by Norbert Link, is now posted. Here is a summary:

In this edition, we are addressing Europe’s desire for creating a powerful army and core Europe’s last revival of the ancient Roman Empire; the ongoing Brexit debacle with no good solutions for the UK; the future of Gibraltar; the false alternative Temple Theory and Israel’s desire of building a massive third temple on the Temple Mount; the non-exiting German-Israeli Friendship and Europe’s growing anti-Semitism; the Church of God’s debt of gratitude towards the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals; the European arms embargo on Saudi Arabia; and the curse of rising nationalism.

“True Christian Humility,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Kalon Mitchell, is now posted. Here is a summary:

The Bible enjoins us all to be humble and have the attitude of being as such. But why? Why is it important? What does Christian humility look like? Are there any other parts that go along with being humble? We will look into these questions and discover the important answers.
