b. not by strength and might but by the Spirit of the Lord (Zech 4:6).

Message and Impression from:
Ps. DR. Drs. Hein Watuseke, M.Th

The above testimony was given by Ps. Hein Watuseke, one of NJE leaders and a
senior NJE activist but he is also a senior pastor in one of the churches of Pentacostal
Church in Indonesia. One angle of the impression and message from a full-time servant
of God has been provided. What about the other angles of view? Now what about
impressions and messages of the other leaders and senior activists from part-timers
with secular backgrounds?

The following writing and testimony were prepared by a professional in medical
profession i.e. a doctor (physician) who has become a long-time NJE activist, one of
the leaders, senior members and evangelists as well.

Each time we respond to God's call, it does not necessarily guarantee that
everything will go well, safely and smoothly without any disturbance. On the contrary
the opposite is often experienced such as ridicules, insults, insinuations and various
other unpleasant events that can make us disappointed and discouraged. There were
some people who said that before becoming followers of Christ; their lifes were better,
more comfortable and the problems that existed were just ordinary problems.
Unfortunately after following HIM even more problems occurred and it seemed that
life became more difficult. I did experience such occasion which have made my heart
broken. I really felt that I was alone, abandoned and no longer passionate about
serving God. Such feelings took place especially when you were still at the beginning
of your ministry with the baby-like spiritual life and not understanding much about His
word. Soon this condition could bring you into a desperate situation. But He did not let
this happening. Yes, there was His help, His readily-given joy, His timely-given strength
while still hoping and focusing on God and His Word. I truly experienced His touch and
His visitation as something flowing in my heart when I entered into His presence. And
this happened as an urge to do so in praise and worship that made me calm again and
totally restored and refreshed.Trust that He who has called each of us in His plan, is
obedient and will surely fulfill His promises. Stay faithfully to serve Him according to
His calling, no matter what the problem is. HE, the faithful God, always sustains, helps,
comforts and be with us. Amen!
