Revival fire among the youth in IHOP

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Word is that revival has broken out among the youth in IHOP, Kansas City. Hopefully it will spread.

International House of Prayer, or IHOP, is led by Mike Bickle. And it is amoung the youth students where healings, deliverance and joy where spreading. It began with a class lasting for 15 hours.

There is a conference called One Thing at IHOP December 28-31. Perhaps a good place to go for thirsty people?

Mike Bickle and Lou Engle has written a letter regarding this outpouring of the spirit.

Breaking news! God can be proved

Sunday, November 29th, 2009
It’s impossible to prove God’s existence, some say. I believe that’s not completely true.

I do agree that there probably does not exist a single piece of evidence that on an universal level can undeniable prove God’s existence on a world wide level. However I believe that on a personal level the undeniable proof is in the pattern.

At least that’s how it is in my life.

I can’t get past the huge amount of evidence. Each piece does perhaps not contain enough conclusive data. However the pattern of the evidence put together is so overwhelming.

It’s so overwhelming that even if I should wish to not believe, I can’t. It would be to deny so much of myself, that I don’t think it’s possible.

Court in session

The legal system in our society is built on the same principle. Judgement seldom come based on a single piece of evidence. It’s the pattern of evidence, put together, that tells the story, past shadow of reasonable doubt.

This pattern is enough to have people thrown in jail for the rest of their lives, or even killed, some places.

If this legal principle is strong enough to have people killed, why shouldn’t it be enough to produce life?
Because in my life the pattern of evidence is there. However the conclusion is faith and the verdict is eternal life, not death.

Pieces of evidence

I have thousands pieces of evidence in my life. And as I look for the light, the more evidence keeps pop-in up. E.g. right now I can feel the presence of God in my room.

However I might be emotionally screwed up, right? Well, all around me I can talk about different experiences, supernatural encounters, miracles, healing and circumstances that point to my God, experienced by myself or people I know. It’s a massive pattern of evidence of not an existing God, but a God who loves me. Here are one of the pieces and here’s another.

I bet He loves you too. Try to meet His out stretched hand and you’ll get your own pattern.

A true Swedish hero

The Swedish people has finally understood who is the true hero of the society.

Or maybe they will one day? :-)

- In 2009 we should be more enlightened than to believe in hell

Saturday, November 28th, 2009
- Happily fewer and fewer people believe in Heaven and hell. Even among believing people.

These statements I saw in a forum just now. And I think it is funny, sad or disappointing how mislead people are by “modern” thinking.

It seems that human kind has never been more morally corrupted than these last decades. They have never been further away from the standard God sets.

But still they call it enlightenment and refer to the year as proof of how good handle human kind has gotten of what is true and right.

Corrupted thinking

Never before has sexual corruption, addictions, lust, attention to superficial attributes, self glorification, destruction of the family, materialism, imbalance in the roles of the sexes and plain sin, been more common conduct and defined as proper as now.

In the “enlighten” thinking, that has grown out of a society filled with the actions described above, hell is just an old fairy-tale that was constructed to scare people.

The very world we live in are the biggest testimony ever, that hell is not only possible, but also probable. Look at all the evil everywhere. But people’s eyes are so blinded that what used to be right has become wrong. And what used to be wrong has been deemed right. And it’s called progress.

*Sigh*

Support Egil Svartdahl

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Norwegian TV2 wants to take the famous TV pastor, Egil Svartdahl, of the air after many seasons. The programs are very popular and recieve high remarks, but it doesn’t fit TV2’s profile.

Norwegians: Support Egil Svartdahl today. Become a fan of this Facebook page and follow @tvinternorge on Twitter.

Copy and paste this message to your Facebook and Twitter status:
Støtt aksjonen for å beholde Egil Svartdahl på TV2! http://bit.ly/8eEOCQ og følg http://www.twitter.com/tvinternorge.

The secular national TV2 in Norway has announced that they will take the program of air, since they are no longer obligated to run it. This is despite the program being a success, attracting an huge audience. No other Christian TV program reach so many Norwegians.

Pray for breakthrough in this matter.

I refered to a testimony in the program in this earlier blog post:
Testimony: – I will help you over

A vision of revival fire in Norway

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Neil and Judy Malaquin traveled all the way from Australia during Roy Fields visit here. 10 years ago they got a vision over Norway.

The couple has earlier served as pastors in their home country. In their vision they saw Norway clearly. A fire that was ignited. It spread all across the country.

They believe the time has come for revival in Norway.

Thanks for visiting Norway and for your powerful message, Neil and Judy! God bless.

The Lord asked Roy Fields to go to Scandinavia

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
During his recent stay in Norway, Roy Fields, the Lakeland revival worshiper, said the Lord challenged him to go to Norway.

His desire is that people should fall in love with Jesus. Roy will be back in Norway in April, this time in John Arnott’s church Catch the Fire.

However he is open for changing his schedule earlier if revival should break out.

For Norwegians:
- Gud vil forandre Norge (Norge Idag)

Darkness gives hope for light

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
When darkness seems all around I see hope for redemption and light.

Jesus won victory over the darkness. It means that towards God’s children it has little power. So when darkness sneaks up upon me, I know my redeemer stands ready.

Ready to let the light shine. Ready for victory.

It is in the darkest hour breakthrough comes.

The awakening of a nation

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009
Is revival revival, or is the revival in Norway different?

You can look at revival as spiritual awakening among individuals. If there is many enough individuals involved, you got yourself a revival. However there is a big difference between an outpouring of the spirit and awakening a whole nation.

In Norway we’re talking about transformation of the nation. It is when the awakening is not only working on an individual level, or are limited to the church. We’re talking major change in institutions of the society.

Such deep change demands more than awakening of a few souls. We’re talking change in politics, business, media, education etc.

Many are called in Norway

I know many people are called in Norway. Not just to be awaken, but also to be spearheads of change into different areas of society. God is preparing an army of leaders. If you’re connected you’ll see it everywhere in the body of Christ here.

Something big is happening underneath the surface.

Hans Nielsen Hauge

Hans Nielsen Hauge was perhaps the most significant Christian figure in Norwegian history. He was building the body of Christ through building industry, rather than cathedrals. His impact on society was incredible. He lived 200 years ago and left a real legacy for revivalists in Norway.

Hauge is also a major focus in the prophecies of Bob Hartley and Bob Fraser.

Personally I knew that business was very important in the Norwegian revival, long before I had heard about both Hauge and the Bobs. The Lord spoke this to me early in my calling, maybe in 2001 or so.

So when suddenly everybody is talking about Hauge and Christian business models, I understand that it’s legit and God driven.

Support our nation

Please support our nation, and the other Scandinavian countries, through prayer. The Norwegian revival is in labor. Also ask the Lord if there is something he wants you to do in order to release the revival. Not just for our nation, but also the many other nations that will be touched through this end time move of God.

Bless you!
