DAY 9 – Bazanowice, Poland
June 23rd, 2018
Poland is a country of Central Europe and is prospering since it has become part of the European Union. Restored as a nation in 1918, but ravaged by two world wars, Poland suffered tremendously throughout the course of the 20th century. World War II was particularly damaging, as Poland’s historically strong Jewish population was almost annihilated in the Holocaust. Millions of non-Jewish Poles also died, victims of more partition and conquest. With the fall of the Third Reich, Poland effectively lost its independence once again, becoming a communist satellite state of the Soviet Union. 97 % of the population is Catholic and marked by communism. Pope John Paul II was a native to Poland and served in the Vatican from 1978 to 2005. So much of history here, but it would out-do the purpose of this journal to go into more details.
God has a Bride from every kindred and nation and there are a few small groups of believers scattered throughout this nation, about 800 brothers and sisters from about 38.5 million people. He finds everyone of His attributes, no matter what condition or location.
Pastor Jacek Walach with his precious little flock here in the small town of Bazanowiche, which is just minutes from the border of the Czech Republic, invited the brothers this morning for a fellowship in his church, and about 25 brothers from different parts of Poland, from Latvia, Lithuania, Czechia, and Germany attending this divinely orchestrated fellowship, where the presence of God comes souvereignly among them.
Old friends meet after many years
Brother Vin lays out how satan has build his eden in 6000 years and shows that all this is contained in the first four seals.
The first church service begins at 4 p.m. today and the church is packed to the last seat, a group of regularly about 80 believers here.
Brother Jacek introduces Brother Vin as one of his old friends, who had been here 12 years ago, where so many precious memories have remained.
The son of Pastor Jacek, Brother Samuel Walach, is interpreting in the meetings.
The title of the service is: The Angel Of God, Whose I Am, And Whom I Serve, with the subject: The Angel Of God Is The Holy Ghost and Brother Vin takes the Scripture from Acts 27, where Luke reports in detail the problems they had during a storm, and it is very clear, that this pertains to the hour we are living in. ”
It’s a stormy time, a dark hour, but in this story the Angel of God came on that ship and gave assurance that no man’s life would be lost.
Some lost their property, because a lot of cargo was on the boat, but they didn’t loose their lives. They had the man Paul in the boat, but the people didn’t recognize who he was, and thought he was just a trouble maker, a prisoner, but this wasn’t just any man; he was a messenger, a prophet, a teacher.
God took this man to the third Heaven. This man had seen Jesus Christ in the form before He became flesh; this man’s word became the Bible, but the people didn’t know who this man was and that he was linked up to the Creator. What a story, because when the Angel came on that boat, He didn’t come to the captain, to the Roman centurion or to the great sailors, He came to this man and said: “I give you all that sail with you. Paul must have spoken to them: “Around here many of you have fear for their lives, but God knows, and His eyes are on this ship all the time.” But the people didn’t listen to Paul, and Luke is telling us all the details about the cargo, the time, the conditions, so we have a clear picture and can apply it presently.
We have to listen close and see what God has said about us in this hour, because the Word, that comes from God’s mouth will not return to Him void but will accomplish what It is sent for. God’s Words are creative, and what He has planned, He is bringing to pass and it’s impossible for God to lie. Brother Vin brings this part of Scripture so vividly to our day and proofs by the Scripture and our prophet’s words, that the Angel of the Lord is the Holy Spirit, not a created Angel, but the Jehova Angel.”
“People today have settled into a place of church attendance with no revelation that they see the mystery of their lives in the Scripture. We must begin to see that our life is designed for a position in the Body. God gave David the pattern for the temple, and showed him that every stone was cut out for a definite position, and they cut it from around the world and brought it to Jerusalem. When God thought about you in a certain way, He gave you a personality and role to fit a certain function. When God is drawing His children, He brings them together in a way, that we might be a living organism. It has no place just to sit down and attend. Church attendance is not part of the Body. God made you what you are, elected, called, anointed and placed.
People want power today, but God hides Himself in humility and reveals Himself in simplicity. It’s not church and religion, it’s about a relationship, a yielding.”
What a service in the realities of God, and I could write so much more here, but rather suggest to listen back to the recording and apply it personally.
It’s almost midnight again when we get to our hotel, and although very tired, we are excited about what we have heard and seen today.
