A SHOUT OUT TO THE YOUTH:
Hey, how you doing? Has any one told you that you"re loved? Yes you! Jesus loves you You"re one of his most precious creations ever made. You"re so beautiful to him and every time you smile his heart rejoices. No matter what you must face in life, always know that he"s there for you "God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble, therefore we will not fear (Psalm 45:1-2a) Isn"t it wonderful to know that no matter what comes our way in life, you always have someone who is there for you and who will never leave your side? I know what you are thinking at this point: "Oh great, another of these so called Christians right? Well I need to tell you that this isn"t the case, not at all, for I know what I"m talking about!!! I"ve had to face so many obstacles in my life where I came to the point of not wanting to live anymore, but through JESUS I regained new strength and had revelation of Satan"s lies. So many people tried to discourage myself esteem and my faith in the Lord. Satan tried to take away my joy, my love, and my will to serve the Lord, but I"m here today to tell you don"t give up!!! No matter what your situation is at this point know that God sees your needs and is waiting on you to make the first step by asking for his aid, so that he can open the windows of heaven and supply all your needs and make you conquerors in Christ Jesus. With God nothing is impossible, always remember our flesh and Satan try to tell us that we are losers and that we will never be able to succeed in our situation, but know that with him all things are possible(.Mark9:23 ) Everything is possible for him that believes. Do you see the key in this verse? Do you? Yes, you are right it"s the word "believe so in other words it is once again us, humanity to make the first step we need to believe and we believe through faith. God does not move one finger if we don"t allow him to, for he gave us a free will in which he will not inter fear. That"s why I want to encourage you to make the first step and realize that we need to make the first step of enabling Jesus to move in our lives and not limit him. If we limit ourselves we limit God and we will not be able to be as victorious and blessed as if we believe and have faith in God"s promises in our lives.

In Romans 8: 28 it says: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
So don"t worry about what your circumstances are, because if you love God than you already have your reassurance that all will work out for the better. You have been considered worthy and precious enough by our Lord and savoir Jesus Christ to build his precious and powerful kingdom from the very day you asked him to enter into your heart. So no matter what you do know you will it will ALWAYS work out for the good. Just remember our ways aren"t always gods ways. So be humble and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to direct your foot on solid ground. HALLELUJAH. Isn"t that wonderful you and I have been chosen by the almighty God to serve him and the be part of his kingdom. The best of all is that we will never ever be alone again, but that we will always have the Holy Spirit as our companion and friend. Wow, how amazing. The only thought of it makes my heart rejoice, because no matter how often I fail and even disappoint myself I always know that there is someone who loves me no matter what and who will always be there to carry me through the situation that I am going through. Always remember that the day that you asked Jesus into your heart you made a decision for eternity. Let me tell you that when I asked Jesus into my heart it was the most brilliant and wonderful decision that I ever made and I would do it over and over again. Now I am not only an over comer through Christ Jesus but I am also a unique and more loving person for my goal and my ambition is to follow the footsteps of Jesus and become each day more like him. I just can"t get enough of the agape love. Through the love and relationship I have today I can only encourage you my beloved brethren to not give up, but to hold on to the promise and the love that God has given you through the blood of Jesus. Now that the blood is upon you know that you are not a nobody anymore, but you are a somebody that the devil must be very afraid of. HALLELUJAH. For we have the victory. Amen. By Nastasja Preusser

After dark night comes the bright light

I walk along a path all grey and dull. NO colours are shown whatsoever no matter where I turn my head I see only darkness that surrounds me. I want to fall to the ground and cuddle up like a ball to protect me of my surrounding for I am afraid very afraid of the dark and the unknown. The evil presence around me makes my heart heavy so that I can"t breathe my only emotion that I feel within is fear and desperation for I feel as if I can"t move. Everything has stopped turning I only hear my heart pounding as loud as thunder and nothing can make one inch of my skin or body move. I feel the sweat dripping down my brow down upon my arm. Seconds feel like minutes and minutes like hours. No matter where I turn I can"t even see my hand in front of me for it is so dark. I feel alone and cast out. I try to utter words I try to move my lips but without success. My spirit cries out for I feel so afraid. My skin feels cold and nothing can bring me any warmth. My soul cries out and more and more intensely that I can hear my soul cry as if I was to speak those exact words with my lips. I cry: "save me save me, for I feel as if I"m about to die. My skin is feeling even colder and now I sense the presence of one that is cold and cruel. His hands touch my arm and I feel the rough and filthy surface of his fingertips. No matter how I try to pull away from him, I feel as if each second I try to pull away he surrounds me even more and like a coat he tries to embrace me and take control of my body. His evilness makes my skin curl up and my fear arises even more. I try and try with all my might to get away from him and to finally see a light break the darkness surrounding me but without success. I try and try with all my might to finally utter words to free me from the oppression I"m in now. He that surrounds me starts victoriously praising himself because he sees that he caught his prey. Tears flood my eyes for I now had the revelation that my end was near. I have given up and see no more hope for my situation.
The cry of my soul has faded and my body and senses have become numb. My oppressor has laid chains on my soul, spirit, and body. No move that I make is freely but is directed by him and his darkness that has gotten control of me now. I feel that the life in my veins has died. I no longer am alive I"m a carcase walking directed through the one who has bound me. I hear my heart beat. Every time it the thump floods through my body it is as if new life is being pumped into my arteries again, new hope reviving my soul. The thump is very soft and almost impossible to hear, but as I listen to the thump it becomes faster and faster and louder. I feel the blood being pumped into my body and my soul becoming alive the power rushing through my body and I regain the will to live. My hands form into fists and my body becomes tense and rebellious against the chains my oppressor has laid upon me .My will becoming stronger and stronger to break free and cast this heavy burden from me. My eyes long so much to finally see daylight again. My heart longs to be free and my soul longs to sing of love. But how can I sing or feel free and know love if I"ve never experience it? How can I understand and see the real meaning of it? Will I be able to recognize it? Am I even worthy of getting a taste of its glory? "For I am the one who brought myself upon this path of destruction and bondage .
As I sit there waiting for the darkness and my controlling master to force my next steps, I tried with all my might to break the chains that healed me but without success. My rests started bleeding because of the force I used to free myself. I tried over and over with so much determination as never before but with failure. Hope once again left me and I thought I once again would have to accept my fait that I will die.
Suddenly I heard a voice, a whisper, a voice so sweet as I"ve never heard before. The voice tingled in my ear and sounded even sweeter than the most soothing sound a human ear has ever heard. As I heard this voice the ground beneath my feet started shacking and I fell to the ground. The creature who held me in bondage started screaming and covered his ears. The voice became stronger and stronger and kept on calling my name till it was so loud that my body shivered of the sound of it. Every time the voice appeared new life filled my body it was as if air filled my lungs and each breath that I took enabled me to stand upon my feet that let me be strong enough to stand firm on my feet. The chains around my ankles and around my rests loosened and when I realized what was happening I immediately knew who this person was who was calling my name. It was as if my spirit gave me the revelation of who this person was and it was Jesus. When I realized that it was him my lips spoke out those five letters and in that exact moment the chains fell off from my body and through the darkness I could see a break of light in the distance and it became greater and more majestic through the striking gleams that shown on my face. The darkness around me including the one who had held me captive were vanished through the might of the light and there was no sign of them left. Tears flooded my eyes and my heart felt as if it was about to explode because the presence of the almighty touched not only my soul and spirit, but it also flooded my body with power. Everything dismaying was washed away and disappeared. I looked up into heaven and I spoke unto Jesus and said: " Lord, I am not worthy of thy presence and love. I haven"t lived my life correctly I was the one who brought myself upon this path which has destined me to my fait of dying. I don"t deserve to know love. My face was pressed against the ground beneath me because his presence made me weak for he was so mighty that my carnal body couldn"t handle the glory of his majesty.
I felt a hand upon my shoulder so soft and gentle that only by the touch you felt the love his heart was feeling. His hand lifted up my face from the ground and he faced me towards him. His eyes met mine and I saw the most beautiful and clear eyes in my whole in tire life they looked right into my soul and they were filled with so much love and compassion, no word could describe the beauty of them and the depth of what his soul portrayed. He just looked into my eyes and started smiling, as he smiled me struck my face gently and said "No need to worry about the past my child, I have forgiven you. My blood has cleansed you from all your sins and all you wring doings. My child you say you"re not worthy of my love, but I say unto thee that I love you , I love you so much that I was willing to die for you on the cross: I love you so much that ill never leave you but will always stay by your side. My love is unconditional and will for all eternity stay that way. You say you"re not worthy of my love but I tell you that I couldn"t live one day without you because if you love someone and you"re not with that person than you feel like you"re dead because a part of you is missing. That my child is how I feel about you. I love you. I couldn"t believe my eyes what he had just said words couldn"t express the way I felt that moment. If I were to put it into words then I"d describe it as if my soul was lifted up from the chains it was bound to. I understood the meaning of love, not like I have always thought it to be something that you can express with words but something that you feel. You feel it with your heart and when you feel it then you become a part of it and it becomes a part of you. Just as Jesus is a part of you. Love becomes a part of you that will never leave you and so will Jesus for he is love. The love that is everlasting and will never rot but will bloom eternally with all its beauty and Jesus is waiting for you to give him the chance that he can change your desolate and dark world into light and giving you his love that will never leave you but will be a support when you feel alone and you have to overcome trials. Know that he considers you worthy no matter what you have done he forgives. With and for God nothing is impossible and he will carry you through whatever you are going through. Ask and it shall be given unto you so ask and Jesus will give you the love that your heart longs for so much and know nothing in this world can ever take away the love that Jesus has for you.

"No, in all these things new are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor the present, neither angels nor demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39)

My Testimony
by Nastasja Preusser

I"m a young woman wanting to achieve her dream of charring her life experiences with the world, which I endure in my heart till this day. Many trials and tribulations had to be conquered which have made me into the person I am today and has thought me to cherish the blessings that come my way. The greatest impact upon my life has till this day been my family and through their support I have faced hard trials and have gained many experiences of conquering the mountains which were placed into my path of life. I take the challenge upon myself of facing them without excuse. For they have taught me to be an over comer no matter what may come my way and to always make it through Gods grace and mercy. Not only has my family been a great impact, but also through my foundation of being a dedicated Christian have I become the ambitious and determined woman I am today.

My family has been most significant influence till this day. Through them I have understood not only the value of family, but also gained the understanding and knowledge of surviving through the trials we as a family faced. My life has never really been ordinary compared to others, because my families experienced a lot of trials, which we only overcame through Gods grace. My family was fairly wealthy for a while and then all of a sudden we moved to Spain, due to family issues where we lived for several years in poverty. At that time we didn"t even have enough finances to buy food, but we never gave up. My brother and I went to school in Spain over the two years we lived there and we didn"t speak any Spanish when we arrived there, but we intergraded ourselves fairly quickly with success. After such a time of temptation of being dismayed we returned back to Germany. At that time I was seven years old and was a very common little girl waiting for the next experience to explore. My father, after two months, had decided to attend a bible college in the United States so he and my brother flew over to establish an apartment for our family. My mother and I stayed in Germany three more months and every way possible tried to earn some finances to provide for the two if us. After three months had past we arrived at the airport with only our suitcase and nothing else. Even at that time we had nothing really we lived for the first year in a one-room apartment in a very poor area in Louisiana, Baton Rouge. I once again had to learn the language of my new environment and had to face a new obstacle. Throughout the five years we lived in the United States God always made a way for us to survive. What amazes me so much is that my parents never gave up hope, but always stayed ambitious and motivated of overcoming the circumstances in our lives.



My family has impacted, to the most extreme, because they have not only showed how to not fear the unknown as much and have demonstrated real ambition which has motivated me never to give up. Even if one falls to always dust off the dirt from ones feet and to just try again. They have thought me that trust and self-confidence are important to achieve the task set. Humbleness and patience have become a part of my life and my thinking. Of course I"m only human so that doesn"t always work, but I give my best and my all when I set my mind to it. Through the times I have gone with my family and the experiences I have made, which are to many to tell, I could probably write a book. The experience I made by observing and being a pat of my family"s lifestyle I have come to the conclusion of being thankful for no matter what I have done, even if it may be temporary , but in my eyes it is precious and I try to make the best out of every situation. This is what my family has thought me to this day and this has also formed and moulded me into the person I am.



The experience of being a part of the circumstance that the family was all we really had. No people to rely on, no stable finances, no nothing basically but ourselves. When one day Jesus started playing a precious role in my life and that of my family. I am grateful that Jesus has become the greatest and most wonderful thing that has happened to my family and me. Through my believe in him I have also experienced a lot of blessings through situations where humanity would of even at time give up. An example would be when my dad had till this day had five heart attacks where twice the doctor diagnosed him clinically dead, but through a miracle he recovered. Through experiences like these my dad then became a pastor and now he is the president and founder of a ministry called "Mission for Jesus International which has been established since five years and has prospered till this day. Now I work part time as his secretary and try to help out any way possible to support the work of his ministry. Not only do I work, but I also sing in the worship team on Sunday and have also become the youth leader at our church. The Lord Jesus Christ has become a great aspect in my life, which I can"t imagine my life without. Through my belief towards him I have also become the person I am today.



My family and Jesus have made me the person I am today and they are the most significant to me. They had such an impact on me through our trials and yet our blessings, which on both sides have been to my benefit. For through them I have learned not to give up but to continue with my ambition and the task that lies ahead of being an over comer-
