This song is about reaching the unsaved. While I drove to my terminal ill uncle, the Holy Spirit put words in my mouth, declaring: “Nobody should have to face death without the Hope of the Cross”.
It’s a really powerful song. Watch out: You’re soul be’ll on fire for unsaved.
Later I will probably go into greater details regarding what kind of projects I’m working with. But not today.
Our journeys can surely be in darkness. However that’s only in earthly terms. Father’s love is constant, no matter your journey. Today the Lord did something amazing for me. THANK YOU JESUS!
That is, it was a small thing. However it made me realise that his favor surely is upon me. I will preach it. I will live it. I will breath it!
I’m really excited because my marvelous comrade and brother in Christ is coming back from a 2 weeks trip to Bill Johnson’s church in Redding, CA. It was a total unexpected blessing for him, not costing him anything. Just another testimony of God’s everlasting love for us.
God’s favor surely lingers upon us. I don’t care what the devil says.
The last days I’ve gotten my fingers wet with Twitter web development. I know the API pretty well now. I made some functionality that put some things on autopilot. It will really help my calling in spreading His love and power online.
I have background as a web consultant, going back from the commercial internet began in Norway. I will tell you more stuff, as we go, revealing my story.
My Father’s divine love and favor rests upon me.
I’m greatly blessed. My Father does not let me go. When rested upon me, His gentle eyes glows with joy. His inner energy makes a spark when His thought goes to me. His passion and compassion jumps when He witness my fight and struggle.
Even if my situation is dispair and calls for hopelessness, that is in earthly terms. My King and Love has stated otherwise: “Do not look to the dark corners of earth. Look to my Kingdom, where your crown shines and your treasure grows for every minute that pass.”
My heart screams out to this overwhelming passion and love for me: My King, you’re truly faithful. My roads are hopeless. However for each step you straighten them, just as my foot reaches the ground. Step, by step, by step…
Because your everlasting favor rests upon me. I am favored. I am highly favored and the heritage is mine.
I proclaim darkness to go. I am a warrior. And I will strike you down with my sword, covered in white gold and inscriptions of divine truth. I am a holy viking warrior, hunting you down. Where I step, light will again linger and rule. Darkness will die.
I love you, my Father, my King!
In a conversation with a pastor a man talks about two experiences he’ve had, that he can’t explain. This is not a man that seems like your average super dedicated Christian. He looks like just an average Joe, that have experienced something divine.
The man told that one time he was bicycling a car came heading straight for him, cutting the curve. Then there is a person or being appearing, that says to him: “I will help you getting over the car”.
The car hit the bicycle’s front wheel. The man flies through the air and is injured in his back, but misses death by not even inches.
At a later time his wife goes into labor with complications. During that night the man can’t sleep. However a being appears to him, stating: “Relax, everything will be just fine”.
The man then sleeps immediately and wakes up refreshed and feel rested. He learns that the labor went just fine.
Not long after the being again appears to him stating: “I told you everything would be fine. Now I’ll take away the pain in your back”. The being hovered his hand over his back, and it was like old skin crumbling together and thrown away, with the pain gone.
The man must admit to the pastor that he probably is a believing Christian. God is so good!
For you Norwegians the TV program was with the TV pastor Egil Svartdahl on TV2.
Roy says he feels an increased hunger for Jesus in Scandinavia, and believe that God will move here. November 16 – 17 he visits «The Way» in Skien. More info can be found here (Norwegian only).
Roy was one of the main worship leaders during the Lakeland outpouring last year in Florida, USA.
More and more international preachers are visiting Norway because of the expectations of a major revival breaking out here, pouring out to the rest of Europe. For this reason senior pastor John Arnott at Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship founded a church in Oslo this fall, called Catch the Fire.
A woman was working as a cultural consultant. However for a few months she had to take over the job of her boss, the head of culture issues.
During this time she had to cut down on operating costs. In her suggestion to the political organs, she had cut out her own position as cultural consultant. As a result she would be out of a job when her boss returns. That’s a pretty bold suggestion to make.
The administrative manager wasn’t pleased with the suggestion, stating that her position was valuable. So we’ll see if she’ll keep her job or not.
An act of integrity or lack of self esteem? What would you have done?
The story is available in Norwegian only here.
The attitude we have to fellow Christians are outrageous and a disgrace. Don’t we understand that when we in this manner go against a brother, we not only hurt him, but ourself and Jesus as well?
Jesus said that people will know that we’re his disciples through the love we show each other. Jesus becomes visible on earth through this love.
But it seems we totally ignore that. Bashing on petite theological differences are far more important to us. Loving on each other and make Jesus visible to non-christians doesn’t hold high value.
Narrow sight on what is the “correct way” to worship, pray, dress, speak, do etc, makes war in the body of Christ. For no reason what so ever other than keeping our sad facades of knowing-it-all.
No. And there are false teaching in the body of the Christ. But it’s not my job to correct a random brother. The Spirit will lead us to the truth, the Bible says. The Spirit, not mr Know-it-all.
More over you can’t correct someone you haven’t earned the trust of. And you’ll never earn someone’s trust through correcting them first.
The most effective way is to loving on people. Both Christians and non-Christians. Not only is it effective, it’s a commandment from Jesus.
Personally I’m comfortable in most christian settings. I can happily visit Russian Orthodox churches, Catholic churches, Lutheran churches, Pentecostal churches and third wave churches (Vineyard/Toronto inspired). Their all my brothers and sisters, even not all might recognize me as one.
However more and more lately there has grown forth new directions that do not fit my definition of Christianity. I don’t say that because I’m better than them. However let truth be told, we don’t believe in the same thing.
I believe in the salvation of the cross of Jesus. They don’t.
This is the core of the core of the core of my Christianity. And to pretend that their belief is somehow similar to mine, and therefore we should both be defined as the same, is simply not truth worthy. It would create a false facade. And I’m all against facades.
Rhema is a greek word that means “the spoken word” or utterance. It is the voice of God, giving personal revelation.
This is the sign Bob received. Not known to him beforehand Rema 1000 is one of Norway’s major grocery store chains. Bob discovered this during one of his first walks here:
The desires of the Father will not be kept secret from the one thousand. New levels of intimacy will be won.
From hearing the Rhema comes revelation, intimacy and opportunity to gain direction and leadership from the Father. Intimacy gives strong relationship and faith. Through this I believe there will come a strong boldness to both declare His Rhema and putting it to action.
Heaven becomes their reality over the reality on earth.
New ground will be taken for others to follow. The barriers of hope will be expanded in the body of Christ, opening up new levels of faith and hope for both this and the next generation to enter.
I can bear witness that God is calling individuals in Norway to be part of Rhema 1000. Of course I don’t know if there are 1000, but the move of God bears witness of truth.
Pray for the ones called to take this new ground. Pray that their identity shall be known to them and grow strong in their hearts. Pray for their success in pressing in. Also pray that they may inspire and pass on to others what they learn.
