IN WHOM AND WHAT ARE YOU TRUSTING? Part 2

  IN WHOM AND IN WHAT ARE YOU TRUSTING? Part 2 Today I want to start by referring to psalm 91. Many are reading this psalm every day during difficult times. When we had the swine-flu some years ago, I was leader for an institution for sick people in Norway. I read and prayed this psalm every day over me, the 100 patients and the employees and I proclaimed that no one should get the flu. No one did even if other members of the families got it. Psalm 91 became like an effective vaccination. ... (read more)

IN WHOM AND IN WHAT ARE YOU TRUSTING?

IN WHOM AND IN WHAT ARE YOU TRUSTING? Part 1 People think that the world is changing rapidly and borders are moved quickly and things that before was considered safe is not safe anymore. I am born in Oslo, Norway and I was not living so far from the center of the town. I remember that I walked from my home and down to the center of Oslo. I was only 10 years of age. I was going to the dentist. I might have taken the tram, but the point is that I would never have allowed a ten years’ old child ... (read more)

JESUS HEALS AND RESTORES THE ENTIRE HUMAN BEING.

JESUS HEALS AND RESTORES THE ENTIRE HUMAN BEING.   We read in 1.Thessalonians 5:23 that every human being has a spirit, soul and body and we read in Genesis 1:27 that we are created in God’s image. God is three, God the Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. When Eve and Adam were tempted, they opened up for sin and they could no longer live in the perfect Paradise. The intimate relationship with God was broken. I believe that God was longing for a relationship with the people that He had ... (read more)

IT IS TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING.

IT IS TIME FOR SPRING-CLEANING.   I do not know what you are thinking when the sun shines brighter and everything that have been hidden during winter, comes into light? All of a sudden I see dirty spots on windows, drawers and cupboards. I see spots that I hadn’t seen before. Are they new? No, they have probably been there for a long time, but I haven’t seen them before. This gives me thoughts about my spiritual status. Do I live in darkness, maybe in a fog, a grey zone or in a bright ... (read more)

FALSE AND TRUE UNITY

FALSE AND TRUE UNITY!   It is always good to start with a word from the Bible. You can look up Matthew 18:19. It is written: “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” At another place it is written that God will answer our prayers if we pray according to His will. It might be misunderstood by some people and they might think they can ask for wrong things. We do have a lot of promises about ... (read more)

WHAT DO WE DO WHEN THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS?

WHAT DO WE DO WHEN THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS?   I am coming from a country being occupied for five years during last world war. My mother got a wall over her back while she grabbed my ten years old sister in front of her and I was five months old in her stomach. None of us was seriously injured. I was only a few days old when I heard the sirens and I was taken to an air-raid shelter. When I hear some sirens today, I am still reacting. My body is remembering the excitement and fear connected ... (read more)

WE ARE WELCOMING THE YEAR 2022!

We are welcoming the year 2022!   I have been listening to different prophesies for 2022. They are not identical and I will therefore refer to some of them and also add some of my own thoughts. It doesn’t need to be contradictions even if they are different. Some might be global and others might be for the local congregation. Other prophesies are meant for a specific country or a region or for a specific person. It is important that you know for whom the prophesy is spoken to. The Bible ... (read more)
