GOD WANTS GROWTH AND INCREASE.

GOD WANTS GROWTH AND INCREASE!   Today I go back to the beginning. We read in the first chapter and the 28th verse in Genesis. It says that God had created man and woman and then He said to them: Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth. He continued to give them authority over everything that had seeds in them. When God creates something, He does not create ... (read more)

THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE.

THESE SIGNS WILL FOLLOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE.   I will start by quoting Mark 16:15-19. “And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay ...

DID YOU GET RID OF THE AIMLESS CONDUCT FROM YOUR FOREFATHERS?

DID YOU GET RID OF THE AIMLESS CONDUCT FROM YOUR FOREFATHERS?   When you go to a doctor and present a problem, he will most likely ask you if somebody else has the same problem in your family. He is actually asking if you have an inheritable sickness. I do not think that we understand how much we have inherited from our forefathers. Your parents have inherited from their parents. I recently met a small boy looking exactly like his father. I have never seen anybody looking like a copy. I ... (read more)

WHAT HAVE CHRISTIANS DONE WITH THE WORD SIN?

WHAT HAVE CHRISTIANS DONE WITH THE WORD SIN? Part 2 I started last time to write about religion. I mentioned a lot of things that were considered to be sinful, but many of these were made by men. This time I will focus on things that are wrong, but they are more and more accepted in several churches. Some churches will even accept yoga in their churches. They will say that yoga is a form of gymnastic and it will help you to relax. It might help you to relax, but it isn’t a mere form of ... (read more)

WHAT HAVE WE CHRISTIANS DONE WITH THE WORD SIN?

WHAT HAVE WE CHRISTIANS DONE WITH THE WORD SIN? Part 1 Many are putting a sign of equation between the word sin and religion. There are groups and sects within Christianity where they talk a lot about sin. They do not only talk about the things that the Bible call sin, but make a lot of their own rules. They might have made rules for what kind of clothes they should put on. Should they have long or short hair? Is it sinful to put on make-up? Maybe one shouldn’t use jewelries, at least not ...

REVIVAL, part 2

REVIVAL Part 2 When we receive Jesus and get saved, God’s spirit moves into our spirit and we become a new creation in Jesus Christ. One part of us gets ready for heaven. The letter to the Philippians 2:12 says that we should work on the salvation of our soul. When we get saved, we receive a power that helps us to live according to God’s will here on earth. We read I Romans 5:5 that the Lord has poured His love into our heart. That means that we have received a lot of love. We can activate ... (read more)

REVIVAL, part 1

REVIVAL Part 1 How many prayer-meetings have you attended where they pray for revival? I have been to many, but I am not always sure what we pray for. I am not an expert on revival-history, but I have read about quite a few revivals. I will start by writing about a revival that has to do with us as individuals before I write about the revival reaching many. The first point goes like this: God, wake me! Many of us have an alarm-clock waking us in the morning. As a pensioner I do not always need ... (read more)

MOTHERS AND FATHERS ARE NEEDED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, part 2

MOTHERS AND FATHERS ARE NEEDED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. Part 2 Last time I wrote about the newly converted. I compared a newborn Christian with a newborn baby. I said that a newly saved person needs a lot of care and attention. I said that when we pray for revival, we are praying for a lot of new Christians. Are we ready to take care of them? When a person is saved, she or he receives the nature of God in their spirit. The Bible says that they are a new creation. The letter to the Philippians ... (read more)

MOTHERS AND FATHERS ARE NEEDED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

MOTHERS AND FATHERS ARE NEEDED IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. Part 1 There are countries where they give birth to too many children and in other countries to too few. In many Muslim countries they give birth to many children. I do not believe that the reason is lack of education about contraception. One of the reasons is that they want to rule over the world. In the Body of Christ we lack new-born babies as well as mothers and fathers. This is the real theme for today. We Christians are crying for ... (read more)

WHO IS YOUR LORD AND MASTER DURING 2020? Part 2

  WHO IS YOUR LORD AND MASTER DURING 2020? Part 2 I do not believe that Jesus is Lord in all areas of our lives. We would be perfect then and I do not believe that will happen before we are in Heaven. Our spirit is born again and we have received a new nature. 2.Corinthians 5:17 is saying that we are new creatures. The old has passed away, but we do have a soul and a body that can harbor wounds and even demons. We are also fighting our flesh that stands against our new- born spirit. Who is ... (read more)
