Today I also got two answers to prayer. One of them was also a sign. I asked God about something and I received it today. FED express!
I also heard an unbelievable testimony of healing in the family of a dear friend.
Yay, God is alive and loving.
Now I’ll work on a presentation for a project.
I wanted to meet an online friend. We went to the same school, however I had never met him face to face. So I went to a youth meeting in his church, hoping to find him there.
I ran out of luck. So as a first timer in that church I sat alone. There was an out of town preacher, I had never seen before. After his message he stated:
“There is someone here that is back drifting. You need to come forward for prayer, otherwise you’ll stop being a Christian.”
I immediately felt struck by the message. Then, as the preacher made this statement, somebody distinctively pushed me forward in my back. I turned around to see who it was. However I was alone on the back row. Behind me was nothing but a wall.
It was a super natural push, taking all confusion away for who the message was.
But still I did not go up for prayer. And as predicted, a little later, I asked God to leave my life. And so He did. For 4 years. Then a very beautiful woman came into my life, making me again reevaluate everything in life.
That is another story…
My wife and I got married back in 2001. As many other couples we wanted children. However we soon discovered that it was easier said than done.
We visited specialists in two different countries. After tests the verdict were the same: Getting pregnant naturally, was highly unlikely. The doctors stated odds of 1:100 000.
We began to talk about adopting or artificial methods. However after some thought I stated to my wife:
God is bigger than life. If He wants us to have children, odds of 1:100 000 is nothing.
A few months went by. One day while we were shopping my wife told me: You need to buy me flowers. “Mmmkay”, I thought. “She never says that, but when she asks, I need to get her really nice flowers”.
After delivering her a big nice bouquet she handed me back a small plastic bag. Inside I spotted something that looked like a thermometer. “You’re going to be a daddy”, my wife smiled.
Wow, I couldn’t believe it. Neither couldn’t our treating specialist. His mouth almost literally floored when he took a pregnancy test to see for himself.
However we weren’t in the clear. There were complications both at the beginning and end of the pregnancy. The birth was very hard. My wife was so weak, that I got seriously concerned. It all ended with the doctors sprinting out of the room with our new baby, to save him.
But God stood with us. After some minutes I could carry a nice baby boy back to my wife. I have never seen someone glow like my wife did then. It was like light glowing out of her skin.
After a couple of years we wanted more children. And the story repeated: Nothing came. After the same round to specialists in two countries, the feedback was even more devastating:
You can forget about natural pregnancy. There is 0 activity. The odds are 1:30 millions.
I still remember the talk my wife and I had after. Adoption again became a subject. And again I refused stating:
God is greater than life. If He could give us one child, He can give us two. 0 activity or not.
And this incredible true miracle happen, again. Just as my father passed away it happen. My second son crossed odds of 1:30 millions, embraced life and came to us.
My first son felt very strong for a specific name for his brother. He wouldn’t cave in to our denials. He wanted his brother to be named “Teodor”. After a while we agreed. Later we discovered that the name meant “The gift of God”. What a fitting name.
Later my wife again met our treating specialist, and he was awed learning about the second birth. Now this is a doctor that sees these kind of cases day in and day out. That he is amazed by the story says something.
And he should be awed, like we are, because the combined odds against our two children happen is 1:3 000 000 000 000. So the odds are overwhelming that there does not exist two brothers like our sons on earth today.
It’s easy to give thanks to God, when just a small gaze on our sons reminds us of such a story.
We must not take the favor for granted. And we should not make excuses and say that blessing are just random luck coming our way.
- I don’t see the favor, you might say. But did you look for it in the small things? Did you give our Father credit for it? If you don’t see the small things, the big things won’t happen.
Do you include the things that didn’t go wrong today? E.g. today my neighbor’s car door was broken. Mine wasn’t. Favor or coincident?
Of course without the favor not all bad things would happen every day. But I’m 100% sure that I’m more accident free with the favor, than without. So when I’m reminded of it, I make sure to thank Him for that as well.
However today I not only need to give thanks for protection: God handled a rather big issue. A person went out of her way in her work duties and nagged her boss to help someone in my family. It’s one step in a prayer request I have.
It’s favor! Woho, God! I’m favored.
Thank God for His miracles! You’ll see them if you care to look.
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!
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.
At the beginning the blog was solely about bringing heaven to earth. That will continue. I need to pass on what I learn and see.
However given today’s release I will expand the issues a little:
I have a lot to say regarding these issues. Especially regarding the emerging revival in Norway. Many many people here are in preparation by the Lord. I’m one of them.
So bookmark this blog and subscribe to our RSS or e-mail feed to be blessed (Look at the right margin).
Today began with 3 dollars in the bank and cloudy weather. I were to write about how heavy clouds in your life can keep you from seeing God. However even if you don’t see Him directly, the light of the day tells you that He is there.
This time hasn’t been a fun ride, I’ll tell you. But Jesus has never promised any of His students an easy ride. It’s part of our shaping process.
God asked me to kill my service for Him, my purpose in Him. Or, truth be told, I told God I would kill it. Then He responded that He actually thought that it was a good idea. He asked me a simple question:
Am I alone enough for you?
I immediately responded: “Yes, you’re enough”. So I withdrew from everything. And I felt that I lost my purpose. So even when my lips said yes, it’s been a battle to make my heart say yes too.
Today came my day of release back into purpose. And immediately I got revelation from the Holy Spirit regarding two issues: Priority and purpose.
I’ve shared those revelations with you in two other posts below.
Have a day full of purpose and joy in the Lord!
