MY STORY
I would like to tell you how I practised yoga and
later met Jesus Christ, God the creator and savior
and how he became the source of my life.
In my twenties I read a lot about parapsychology,
esoteric, Yoga, and religions from the Far East
(Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Swami Vivekananda,
Bhagavad Gita). Meditation, Yoga, Esoteric
become my life. I neglect my engineering studies.
My Yoga exercises are: breathing exercises and
meditation. I also get to know Transcendental
Meditation.
I am Brahma, a part of God, like every other
human being. But this reality needs to become real
through meditation. I enjoy practicing meditation
and put all my hope on Yoga, but a growing
disappointment fills my heart. The progress is very
slow. Can Yoga really keep its promises?
Problems in my studies and in my life with my
parents and my friends increase.
Then one day the famous movie „THE 10
COMMANDMENTS“ shows in the local cinema.
When it showed before I had missed it, but NOW
was the chance to see it. I watch the movie an am
fascinated. The fight between God and the gods
and the powers of Egypt is very fascinating. The
Egyptian sorcerers can do a lot, but so much less
than what the God of Israel can do. The Indian
gods who I knew by reading have also many
problems. They are more like mixed beings of gods
and humans, with all human kinds of mistakes.
What I see in that movie brings up many questions
in me. What is the truth? God, the God of Moses or
the other religions of the world, like that of India?
Some Indian teachers of religion may look like
scientists, but they make more a kind of religious
statements, that cannot be proved. A fight begins
in me, a fight between light and darkness. What is
the truth?
The turnaround
To understand the movie and the questions it
brings up I buy a Bible and begin to read in it. The
words of the Bible do not let me go. God works in
me.
I begin to put my trust in God. GOD is the almighty
creator, nobody and nothing is like HIM. He is the
Lord over all human beings.
Religions are men-made, but the Bible comes from
God, is inspired by God. Meditation and its
mental states are in the realm of the psyche
and sometimes under the influence of spirits.
There is no connection to the true God, because
he is different from mankind.
I read about Jesus, the Son of God. He Is GOD, He
is the Way, the TRUTH and the LIFE. Nobody can
come to God the father, except through Jesus. I
begin to pray, the prayer Jesus taught us: OUR
FATHER......I
I become a child, a son of God. My sins are forgiven
and the sins of the world too through His death at
the cross. God loves me. He has accepted me. I
belong to Him and am moved to His heavenly
kingdom. I belong to the world-wide family of
Christ. How wonderful.
At home I stop my Yoga practice. Later I burn all
my books on Yoga and my esoteric books too. In
the Bible alone does God reveal show Himself.
Jesus gives me one of his famous words in my
heart that will lead my life. It says: “I am the way,
and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me (The Bible, Joh.14:6).
Through the invitation of a friend I join the
Christian Youth group of Christian Endeavor. That
is where I learn a lot more about Jesus. I also get to
know the theological Seminary TABOR in Marburg
and go there to study Theology.
After graduation I work as a pastor and later God
leads my wife and me to the Far East to serve Him
as missionaries in Taiwan and Thailand for many
years.
Now we are back in Germany and enjoy being
retired.
We praise and thank our God for His grace. We
pray and help that many more people can become
God children through our life and testimony.
We pray that many more people get to know Jesus
and enjoy to live according to His word. God bless
you, dear reader.

FROM YOGA TO JESUS CHRIST
