Event at VFK Consulting Office
I will now go back to Gothenburg and the events there in 1985. Every newcomer had to stay in the office for two months and familiarize himself with the standards of the company wherein he was planned to work as a designer. VFK planned that I would be "hired" by Volvo PV as a consultant designer for person cars, under title of M.Sc. (Master of Science in Technology) The work place was located at the headquarters in Volvo City, Torslanda, north from Gothengurg.
When I came to the VFK office, I remembered what Adonai had said at our previous meeting about a woman named Judit Sonnenschein. I began to pray regularly for her and waited for the moment when Adonai would lead me to talk to her about what personal faith in Adonai Yeshua mean to me and what it could mean to her too. That was what Adonai had promised me.
Then the 2 months were almost over, one afternoon that moment came! The Lord said, "Now is the day, Leif! The door to Judit's room is open. Go and tell her about me!" I noticed the door was completely open and only I and Judit were at the office, which was very exceptional.
I wanted testify to her of my Adonai
Immediately I went to Judit's room, knocked on the edge of the open door and asked for permission to talk about things beyond work. She said it was fine now! I said I was a confessing Christian and would like to briefly explain the reason for that. She replied: "Do you know that I belong to the Moses Faith Synagogue in Gothenburg?"
I replied, "No I don't. I did not know that, and since you are apparently Jewish, I will of course not begin now or later tell you about Christianity."
I was already leaving the room when I heard she say, "Leif, don't go away, but tell me how did you find God?"
Then I was free to tell her
I suppose that Judit believed it when I told her how I found the connect with Elohim, but she didn't believe the second story because it was very supernatural! I told her that I well understand her difficulty in believing in this other, even more miraculous story, because only a very few Christians believe in it.
Throughout that hour, it was completely quiet in the office, and when Adonai said to me, "Leif, that's enough!", I told Judit that now was the time to continue working.
Immediately after that, phones started ringing and people started coming to the office, which was common every day. But the complete peace and silence that preceded it were truly rare! Adonai carefully organized that time so that I could tell Judit my testimony in peace.
I was initially hired by Volvo PV for Quality and Development apartment. My main work was to design the compatibility of the new windshield wiper sets and spray nozzles with the new passenger car models, as well as the washer fluid reservoirs with all their parts for cleaning the windshield and headlight lamp covers.
I did most of these work for about 4½ years and I did a lot of work and assembly drawings and I was involved in the development of new car models for sale and under development. I also did several analytical test runs for competing car brands in the Volvo luxury car segment, such as Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMV, Ford, Lincoln Continental, etc.
An exceptionally sacred silence!

At Volvo PV
I was initially hired by Volvo PV for Quality and Development apartment. My main work was to design the compatibility of the new windshield wiper sets and spray nozzles with the new passenger car models, as well as the washer fluid reservoirs with all their parts for cleaning the windshield and headlight lamp covers.
I did most of these work for about 4½ years and I did a lot of work and assembly drawings and I was involved in the development of new car models for sale and under development. I also did several analytical test runs for competing car brands in the Volvo luxury car segment, such as Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMV, Ford, Lincoln Continental, etc.
During the rest of my working period, for about 6 months, I was working on the hinges and opening mechanism of the latest Volvo 850 hood and lamps. The design was computer-aided 3D design with Catia 2.2, the world's most advanced design software tailored for Volvo PV.
I got to this most sought-after project with the recommendation of my colleague from the previous group and with the help of my previous boss, after he was promoted to that department as section chief. He, Arne Karlsson, was my good friend for those 5 years. I also kept in touch with him as his friend until his death in 2017.
In this dark brown Citroen GS Combi car I drove from Angered and Hisinge in Gothenburg to Volvo PV, Torslanda, sometimes to the Consulting Office and sometimes to Stockholm. The combined air and fluid suspension of the car made driving a pleasure especially for long car rides!
Let me tell you about this, chosen for year's "1970's car", case. I bought it cheaply from my friend who was short of money and didn't need the car anymore. My boss, at Volvo, insisted that all consultants must own the car, but the car brand didn't matter. It was even good if it wasn't Volvo, because then the consultant could compare it to Volvo cars.
The car had been driven about 50,000 km before me. I only paid SEK 4,000. It had some rust damage and other minor defects as it was only made for about 11 years of use. When the exhaust began to enter the car cabin, I replaced the entire exhaust system with a total of 8 tubes.
It didn't stop the leak and so I took it to a garage for inspection first and asked them for a price estimate for its repair costs. The price was estimated at SEK 2,000. So I decided not to repair it, but to sell it. There was also the problem that both brake cylinders whistled in the bends of the road and sometimes in the rain all the control panel lights went out. It was even a serious security risk!
Miracles in car inspection
Before trying sell the car, I had to try to get it in a condition that it would pass the inspection. That's why I drove to the OK station and queued for my own turn to the repair corner.
First, I was earnestly praying for help from above and wisdom for repairing the car. Then I got the rental tools I needed from the office and returned to my car in the repair corner. On the back window of my car was a big red sticker on a white background: JESUS ÄR HERRE (JESUS is The LORD).
I thought that those front wheel brake drums had to be opened and cleaned first, because if they whiz at the time of the inspection, then the car would not be approved for use. One gray-haired old man wearing a light blue cool outdoor suit had secretly come behind me. When I saw him smiling, I told him about my car's problems.
Just when I was about to open the first of those brake cylinders, he said, "Don't open those screws so the oil won't spill out under pressure!" Then he said, "Get in the car and do what I ask." I got into the car and after the car was lifted with a big crane about a meter high, the man just opened the right screws and got the brake pads out. No oil was spilled out.
He cleaned them both with a pressure water hose and reassembled them. I always felt a powerful presence of the Holy Spirit! It took about 2 hours and finally the man said, "You'll get this through a car inspection, but both brake cylinders are already worn out and need to be replaced completely."
It was a prophecy, which came true later!
The man wanted any payment!
I was tremendously grateful to him and asked if I could pay for that job because his neat suit was dirty while doing the job? He smiled me and said he didn't want any compensation. I asked if he was a member of OK staff? He said he wasn't, but was queuing for his own Ford Fiesta to enter the OK's workshop's corner.
He helped me for 2 hours although other parking corner spaces were freed up from time to time! I thought how someone could be that friendly? And as soon as I paid the bill to the office, I decided to see where the man's car was in the queue. There was not a single Ford Fiesta in the queue!
When I asked others in the queue. They said they had not seen a single Ford Fiesta in the queue in the evening! Then I was sure that the man was an Adonai's angel! No wonder I was constantly experiencing a very strong presence of the Holy Spirit when he was present.
I was weeping all the way home and thanked Adonai for the tremendous prayer response I had just received. I had already booked the inspection day and time for the next day and when drove to the inspection station, I heard a crunching sound from both brake cylinders as I was driving along the bends of the road.
I prayed to Adonai for help so that the sound would not be heard during the test on the street vid inspection. Then it happened that when the car inspector did the driving test in the yard and drove steeply in both directions, there was no sound at all! HalleluYah!
My car passed through the inspection with only minor error notes and when I drove home, there came clear crunching sound from both brake cylinders on the roadside turns!
That was how the prophecy from Adonai's angel came true!
