I want to be at Holy Places 2
This text is the transcription file of the podcast “Kiki and Ingrid – a young chinese woman meets Ingrid the singer”
On day I have heard his calling
Sinner repend
I have heard and received a Jesus Christ
And now I am a child of God
From the kingdom of evil and darkness
He has put me in the kingdom of God
I am happy about my salvation
That I can say my father to God
I want to be in holy places
Singing the glory of God
Singing of all his wonders
Giving thanks for what he s done on the cruz
I never deserved so much grace
Which he has given to me on the cruz
I am a new creation
Through the water and spirit in God
God remembered me
That I am lost without him
I lived in the dust of the world
And now I m living in the light
And now I am walking with him
He transformes me on each day
The flesh is dieing the spirit is living
Sometimes it costs to die
Soon I will see Christ
When he will return on his day
I want to be in the union of the saints
Praising enternaly the king
How did you call Gods calling and why did he call you?
God promises in the book of Hiob, that every human being on earth is called at last three times to come to God and to repent.
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
Hiob 33
29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
God calles everybody of us by different situations:
Paul saw a very brilliant light and heard Jesus voice.
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Acts 9
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
But his does not happen often. More often it happens through questions which come to our mind, questions about where we will spend eternity at a day when we just missed a near person. Or we hear a preacher in the street or on the radio. Or someone gives us a little paper or a bible which talks about Jesus.
In my case, my Grandfather died and I missed the love he gave me and I asked myself, who can give me so much love as my Grandfather did. My cousin died in an accident very young and I asked myself, where will I go one day.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
And than God called me by hearing people talking about Jesus when I was on a Journey.
I prayed to God: If you exist and these preachers on the street tell the truth give me a sign. And than God showed me a huge rainbown, the sign of Noe in book Genesis. So I was shure, that the bible is the truth, I repented and became a child of God.
Why does God call us to repent?
To repent means that I change my life. Maybe before, I did not have a sensitive concience and did what I want to do. But when I repent, I change my way of life, Jesus says, enter the door and go on the small way which leads to heaven.
Before we were on a wide road which leads to hell and after repentance we are on the small way to heaven.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.Matthew 7,13-14
Why did you become a child of God by repentance
In Juan 1 Juan describes, that Jesus came to his people but they refused him. But those who received him, got the right to call themselves children of God.
Before repentance, we are creation of God, there is still the wish in us, to do something good and be like God, but after repentance, we are directly connected to God how a child, that was adopted by other parents.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
You talk about the kingdom of evil and the kingdom of God in your song. Where are they placed?
The kingdom of evil is everywhere on the earth. God gave the earth to the human beings and they gave the earth to the devil. He himself says to Jesus in Mathew: I will give you all kingdoms of the earth if you fall down and adore him, because they belong to me.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matth 4
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
The kingdom of God has come near, when Jesus came to earth, but it is not visible. The kingdom of God is in the heart of each person who has repented and received Christ in his heart.
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Col 1
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
What is a holy place for you?
A holy place for me can be everywhere on earth, it is not necesary to go to a temple or a church.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John 4
When I sit down and pray or sing to God and feel his tender presence in my heart than I am at a holy place.
We can enter with the new created body we got from Christ, that is different to our flesh, the part of us, which is our earthly body and still has the wish to sin, to heaven and have fellowship with God in heaven.
When I am with my father in heaven, I am at a holy place, no matter where I am in that moment with my earthly body.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John 4
I already asked you the last time: Are you scared to die?
No, because I will go to heaven.
A lot of people are scared of dieing, because they are frightened of to be punished for their faults on earth
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5
Before I will go to heaven, I will sleep a time, but than Jesus comes and arrises all who died in his name.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Heaven is a wonderful place. The streets are of gold, there will not be heat and cold, we will never be hungry or thirsty and we will be able to see God face by face.
This will be my final holy place where I long to be and to share with God and the friends who already passed by.
