Chapter 50 - Since 1985 part 3/3




Miracles when selling my car


  Having already resigned from Volvo PV and VFK, I placed a sales announcement in Used Car's Magazine for my car (Citroen GS Combi). A couple of days later I got a call and a young man wanted to come to a test drive it and maybe to buy it. I had already decided beforehand that I wouldn't hide the slightest fault with the car I knew. So while I was on the test run I list him all the faults, which were many. Also, the exhaust in the car cab even though I changed the exhaust system two times. 

  I told him even that the car's lights go out in the rain due to contact disturbances. (By then I was sure he wouldn't buy the car). He wrote down all the faults accurately. When he finally asked if there were other bugs I knew, I said no. He said he want buy the car and for exactly the price I was asking for: 2,500 kr! I was surprised and asked in amazement, "What on earth are you doing with such a car scrap?"

  He laughed me and said he was teacher and teaching car mechanics at a vocational school and that this car is a great repair challenge for students! Besides, he had reportedly been looking for about two years just this type of car he wanted! According to him, there were only 100 cars of this brand in Sweden at that time. 

  Then it was my turn to laugh and wonder that Yehowah Elohim just led the right buyer to my car! A week later, a car buyer called and told me that he and his students had raised the car's engine and replaced a new expansion tube that attaches to the exhaust system. Then the exhaust leak stopped. He was pleased at car. HalleluYah!


  In this picture I am holding a presentation in a conference room of Hotel Marstrand issues related to quality passenger cars. It is an elite holiday island by the sea, about 30 km north of Gothenburg.

  Here we celebrate the closing of the English and French Intensive Course in the Inner Stockholm Archipelago at the Kaggeholm Christian Folk High School in Drottningholm in 1987. The Kaggeholm in Ekerö is an approximately 3.5 km long and 1 km wide island in the Inner Stockholm Archipelago. I spent my whole 1 month summer vacation there studying English.

  During that time, there was a continuous summer heat for about 3 weeks, and the temperature was daily often at + 30 ºC (+86 ºF) or more. Then came a severe thunderstorm and heavy rain, with big hails, which cut a lot of tree branches into the ground. It lasted less than 30 minutes and then the heat continued until the end of the holiday. Equally brown I have never been since. To the right is a French-speaking French teacher and to the left is one of her students. 



One 3 year old Iraqi girl

  English hours were weekdays from 8am to 1pm. Before that there was breakfast in the canteen and at 11am there was lunch there. I ate only vegetables so I would be refreshed enough during the lessons. I stayed in a smaller cottage with 3 rooms and a shared living room and kitchen. There we were three youngsters, each with their own room and toilet.

  The same cottage had once housed a Messianic Jew, Lewi Pethrus, who believed in Yeshua and served for many years as chairman of the largest Pentecostal Church in Scandinavia. Late one evening, as we were sitting in the living room and all our the homework was done, I heard a very quiet baby crying. I asked my friends to be quiet for a moment and asked if they could hear the baby's crying(?)

  Neither of them heard. I opened the window in the direction where I heard the sound and heard the same crying a little more clearly. I told my friends that the sound came from the woods and that it was a young child crying in great distress. I quickly hurried to see where she was. I ran down the forest path to where the sound came from. It was almost midnight and it was already quite dark.

  Even though I had been working in the workshop for years and my hearing was impaired, I still heard crying. About 1 km away, I found a small, beautiful 3-year-old girl walking deeper into the woods and crying heartbreakingly. She was barefoot. She had black natural curly hair and two pretty red bows on both sides of her head. Since I had a beard and her father didn't, I was careful not to scare the girl.

  I started talking to her in Swedish very kindly and stroked her hair. I grabbed her by the hand and walked towards her family's apartment. When I noticed the girl was completely exhausted, tired and barefoot on the path that was jagged, I gently lifted her to my lap and carried her to her apartment to her family. Her big sister opened the door and was horrified to see us.


  The girl was the child of a family of 6 Iraqi refugees. The girl's story ended happily. Kaggeholm is a large island with foxes, deer and lynx. There were so many mites that a classmate got four (4) mite in his feet while jogging about 4 km in the morning on a forest path. Even though I ran the same running track, luckily for some reason I didn't get even one mite in my leg. 


  Here we are with the staff of the Consulting Office on an excursion flying to Hamburg, Germany. The dark woman on the left is Katalin from Hungary, who attended the same course at the AMU-Center, Lilljeholm, Stockholm, 1984-85. She also got a job at VFK. I won the III prize in the quiz. The green button on my light blue jacket, almost white, was with text, "Jesus Lives".



  This is an important speech as I guide a Finnish wedding couple in the church on how to live in marriage so that they are both happy. Of course I, the bachelor, know it best!


  This snapshot is from an English intensive course that included five other members. The teacher was a British James Liddle, who had been a missionary in Africa. I drove these beloved Christian friends in my car after completing our course in Stockholm to the train station, bringing the woman to her home and the young man to T-Central. At this moment, the course was at the very beginning and I had not yet received a tan.


I wanted move back to Finland

   Although my job was very content-rich and my colleagues nice, I didn't want to give up VFK consultant to become a Volvo PV employee, even though my boss at Volvo suggested it, since I've never been interested in cars.


  That's why I started praying to get back to Finland as early as 1988. In 1988 I saw an interesting job announcement in Helsingin sanomat newspaper, which I sometimes read at the Gothenburg Main Library.


Recruitment interview in Vantaa


(Place and company are aliases)

  An engineering company called Etta in Vantaa (a town Near Helsinki) was looking for a steel structure designer and I applied there. I was soon invited to a job interview. I got the appointment right in the spring during the winter holidays in 1988. 


  I traveled there on a Silja Line' car ferry without a cabin, and I was about to go to sleep, which was located at the floor level just like a big cramped box. There was place only for one, and I ought to crawl in there. I chose to travel Silja Line car ferry instead of Viking Line car ferry, because in Silja Line was free bed places at that time. 

  Then I was overwhelmed with unimaginable fear, downright horror(?) I knew I wasn't afraid to go to a job interview and so I wondered about the fear! Before I fell asleep, I prayed, "My dear Savior, I am terribly afraid of something. Hide me in your love and in the protection of your Holy Spirit. Thank you! Amen!"

After that, I felt how the incomprehensible spirit of love came upon me, closing me in his embrace and came inside me.
I was completely inside the marvelous and strong love and fell in peace asleep. I was ecstatic all the night (Compare 1 Samuel 19:24). I slept that night in all the clothes, including outerwear. When I woke up in the morning, I noticed to my horror that much mucus of my sperm had splattered all over my underwear and reached up to knees!

  Also, in my white trousers with black-striped had a big yellow stain already dried through it, and my shirt and scrotum were covered with wet mucus and semen, and so were my undershirt and the bottom of the jacket. Also on my left thigh upward from my knee, was yet wet of mucus and semen. When I touched those ones, hand got wet from the mucus. What a terrible situation! 

  I prayed to my Savior saying,
"Oh, dear Adonai. The ship is already in 15 minutes from the harbor, and I can't take a shower anymore. I do not have a change of clothes with me and the schedule is so tight that I don't have time neither money to buy new clean trousers.
 Help me, my dear Savior, because I can no longer cancel the job interview, and I can't go to an appointment in these clothes because my semen mucus smells already, and the big stain on my trousers is clearly visible many meters away!" 

  I had slept keeping all the clothes on me. I took my briefcase and held it as if it were a shield as I walked quicly to the bathroom, where I was going to wipe the wet semen off my skin and my clothes. After I had pulled out many a long strip of toilet paper and I was about to start wiping, so what wonder I did see!

  All the mucus and sperm had disappeared while I was walking to the bathroom!
When I touched my scrotum, all the mucus and semen had disappeared from it, and there was no trace of it on the thigh! When I looked at my trousers and other clothes in bright light, there was no trace of that yellow big stain! All my underwear and outerwear were cleaned! It was a physical and much needed miracle! HalleluYah!

  I was so incredibly grateful to Adonai that I began to worship him with the new tongues all the time in my heart, and as I walked from ship to port I was filled with the Holy Spirit like a drunk!I walked a bit on unsteady step without stumbling, even though I was in such a powerful, lovely and comfortable, downright ecstatic state!


 I want to emphasize that my Savior Yeshua HaMashiach is absolutely Holy and that what happened to me that night was due to my weak body, which reacted to Adonai' supernatural love in the way I mentioned. Man cannot control himself in sleep. The same thing happened to me when I was 14 and prayed for help from Adonai just before going to bed. At that time I was not yet sexually mature man and therefore there was no ejaculation at night. 

  Compare with "The Second Encounter of Yehowah Elohim" in chapter 10:
Chapter 10 - Years 1960-64 part 3/3:


https://seventh-river.blogspot.com/2020/02/chapter-10-years-1960-64-part-33.html

  Instead of healthy heterosexual marriage, perverse sex relationships such as gay and lesbian sex, premarital relationships, adultery and rape are, according to the Bible, great sins! All who do those sins, will go to hell if they do not stop practicing their sins and humbly ask for forgiveness from Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach! 


Almost an incredible meeting

  When I arrived at the appointed time and place, I rang the doorbell and a chic dressed gray bearded man in his fifties opened a door. I introduced myself and said I had come for a job interview. He, alias Arvo, said he was the man who invited me and when we shook hands,
I felt how immense the power of the Holy Spirit touched that man so strongly that he was trembling!
 

  His speech interrupted and he began gasp gasp for breath. Then in the vision, I saw the back of spiritual being, from behind him, the very handsome man dressed in a white robe. It seemed as if he stepped out of me and then embraced Arvo firmly and said, "My beloved!" I was appalled, so was Arvo too! (I didn't touched Arvo)

  Then that well-hugged man, Arvo said, "I want you! I want you! Let's go and write a contract right away!" I looked at him a little amused and said, "Sometimes the first impression is so good that you can't think rationally, and you suppose you don't need a separate job interview, but anyway, tell me about your company and what kind of mechanical design is now needed?" 
  
  Then Arvo realized the situation and blushed, gazing down at the floor. I patted him on the shoulder and started asking more about the job's contents. 

  He promised to arrange a temporary home for me in that big design office, help me buy furniture there, and suggested that I take a bath with him. The sauna was located in the same design office. He promised to guide me in calculating the strength of steel structures and to advise me on all aspects of the job.

  He said he wanted to keep me a close colleague from the start and reassured me that there was no reason to be worried about the demanding nature of the job. I thank him for his kindness and hospitality.


  It turned out that I should have started working there already in 2 weeks, but I said, "It is impossible because Swedish law provides for a one-month withdrawal period. Since my employer is a smart woman who owns VFK Consulting Office and I am very well treated by that Hungarian Jewish woman, the time to leave VFK is at least 3 months.

  I do so as a professing Christian because I love Jews. Otherwise consulting company would have problems, because we are the only 25 engineers, many of whom are Jews, and I am one of the most successful consultants in the firm."
 

When I told that him, he seemed disappointed.

  He said he couldn't hire me then because he had to get a designer right away. I said I was sorry, and that for us is not useful to talk about this anymore. I promised to pray to a better designer for him because I hadn't planned many years of design work of the kind that office would need. We said goodbye to each other and shook hands. Then I took a return trip to Sweden.

  
PS. That alias firm has either gone bankrupt, changed its name or merged with another company. 


Return trip to Sweden

  On the way back, I was amazed after all that happened and asked Adonai, "Oh Adonai, you knew in advance that I couldn't take that job, but I still felt it was your wish that I made this trip. Why did you want that?" He replied, "I wanted you to tell that man about me and I wanted to meet him with my love that flowed from you to him."

  I said, "But Adonai, there are many other Christians in Finland who could have told him about you." Adonai replied, "Yes, but I wanted to use you for that. I also wanted to meet you on this journey, just as it happened last night." I said, "All right. Thanks for that. Now I understand and am glad that you love me so much!"

  I still missed Finland and I felt Adonai would soon lead me back there. That's what happened a couple of years later, in 1990, and I'll tell you about it in the next chapter.
