THIS IS THE FAST THAT I HAVE CHOSEN

”THIS IS THE FAST THAT I HAVE CHOSEN”, SAYS THE LORD.   The last six weeks before Easter is often called Lent. The time before Christmas is called Advent, a time of waiting and expecting. The time before Easter is often a time of fasting and drawing closer to God. Fasting is a part of many religions. The Muslims are actually having Ramadan right now. They cannot eat and many cannot drink during daytime, but they can during the night. The purpose is to come closer to God and to become a ... (read more)

DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED? Part 3

DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED? Part 3 In the letter to the Hebrews the 11th chapter and the 6th verse we read that it is impossible to please God without faith. We must believe that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Why do I mention faith when I write about love? Because you must believe that you are loved. If you do not believe that God loves you with a non-conditional love, your entire life will reflect that. You might have some fear and you might worry ... (read more)

DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED? Part 2

DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED? Part 2 In the letter to the Romans the 8th chapter and from verse 35 vi read: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor ... (read more)

DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED?

DO YOU KNOW THATYOU ARE LOVED? Part 1 I do not think that there is another word than the word love that has been used more in speech and in writing, but I still think that there are many that do not quite understand what the word really means. If I should ask different people what that word really means to them, I would get many different answers. The Bible is writing a lot about love and I will refer to some of them, but I will also keep to the title. Many are unfortunately living as they do ... (read more)

WHAT KIND OF THOUGHTS DO YOU HAVE FOR 2024?

WHAT KIND OF THOUGHTS DO YOU HAVE FOR 2024?   I will not tell you what you should think, nor will I predict the happenings of this year. I might mention certain things that emphasize the time, but there will be no sure answer. I believe that your thoughts are circling around different topics dependent on where you live, if you live in a family or if you are alone. It is also dependent on age, health and economy. It is also dependent on what you believe in and on whom you believe and trust. ... (read more)

DO YOU WANT TO BE A JESUS-LETTER DURING 2024?

DO YOU WANT TO BE A JESUS-LETTER DURING 2024?   Some of you might think that I am a little crazy now and you might really wonder what is hiding behind this title. Jesus left this earth many, many years ago and we are waiting for Him to come back for His Bride. Jesus is now sitting beside His Father in Heaven. I have not seen Him, but He is revealing Himself especially for Muslims in order for them to believe in Him. Most people have never seen Him and many find it hard to believe in ... (read more)

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN THE WAR? Part 3.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN THE WAR? Part 3 When we are in war, soldiers might get wounded and some might even die. We do not need to die during the spiritual war. Some Christians are afraid of the enemy and they are hiding. They forget that Jesus already has conquered the devil on the Cross and we are therefore fighting on the victorious side. If you are living in obvious sin, I would recommend you to repent and stop before you enter warfare. Sinning is an opening for the devil and the more ... (read more)

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN THE WAR? Part 2

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN THE WAR? Part 2 I started last time to write about spiritual warfare and how we can succeed. I underlined the importance of the Word of God in order to succeed. That is like a weapon that Jesus Himself used when He was tempted by the devil in the desert. He said: It is written! We should do the same. When one enters a war, one needs to know the opponents very well. One needs to know how they think, what kind of weapons they use and how many they are. Do they know how to ... (read more)

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN THE WAR?

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN THE WAR? Part 1 I am not writing to you participating in the war in Ukraine nor in Israel or in any other war in the world. Wars are going on in many places in the world and many are suffering enormously because of that. I am a war-child from the second world-war and I can therefore understand how wars can influence generations afterwards. I will not write about a military war, but the spiritual one that all Christians are part of. Many Christians are blind for its ... (read more)

A TRUE IDENTITY LEADS TO DEVINE BEHAVIOR

A TRUE IDENTITY LEADS TO DEVINE BEHAVIOR! Your self image will color your identity. Both are formed by which country we are born in, our family background, our upbringing and our experiences. Our vocation will often be our identity. In Christianity one might have an identity in the gifts of the Spirit more than the One that has given the gifts. Some people have their identity in other people. Some people have their identity in their failures. When I was a child, I was brought up in a Lutheran ... (read more)
