Teachings

15th of April Part 2 This is the second part of this theme. They belong together since my thoughts go a little back and forth and they should be read together even if they come out at different times. I mentioned that God is not totally sovereign and can do exactly what He wants and all attacks do not come from the devil. There are certain rules and spiritual principles. The devil will often use people to attack us, but the battle is not against human beings since we always should forgive men ... (read more)

1st of April Part 1 I believe that I could get almost as many answers as there are people on this planet earth. I will write about the different reactions and what the Bible says about it. Where do the attacks come from? Who is sending them? Are all attacks from the devil? Some people blame everything on God. How can God be a good God since he does this and that? They think that God is a sovereign God and think that He can do anything without paying any attention to the devil and to mankind and ... (read more)

1st of February Part 8 This will be the last part of this theme, at least now. I do not believe that I have covered everything there is to say about the prophet, but I will close this for the time being. I did mention some of the problems of the prophets in the Old Covenant. They announced judgment over sin and idol-worship and that was not and still is not very popular. Prophets did and will still experience quite a lot ofrejection. A prophet sees, hears and reveals things that others ... (read more)

15th of January I have underlined that every new born Christian can hear from God and we can all prophesy, but all of us do not have a prophetic gift. Even less are called to be a prophet. I am not saying that the prophet is so exclusive, but most Christians have a regular job in the secular world. Only a few are called to one of the fivefold ministries. I have been to countries with a small church on every house-corner. The reason is the fact that so many think that they are called to be ... (read more)

1st of January Part 6 I am not allowed to continue with another theme even if we are entering a new year. You can use this material as teachings, beneficial for yourself as well as others or even your Bible-school. I find it easy to write about the prophet and his ministry will not become less important in the future. In The Old Testament we find three important offices, the king, the priest and the prophet. God spoke to and through them. The Holy Spirit came over them or they were visited by ... (read more)

15th of December Part 5 A new era started on the Day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit was poured out. We are now talking about the beginning of the Church. This was prophesied by Joel and will last until Jesus returns for His bride. I will also write about Jesus as a prophet and some others functioning in the gap between the old and the new era. John the Baptist is probably the most known one. He was a forerunner of Jesus. He was supposed to prepare His coming to this earth. To-day we have many ... (read more)

1st of December Part 4 I am in the process of going through the prophets of The old Testament and we have come to the prophet Habakkuk. The name means to embrace or to cling to. It is probably the last meaning which suits Habakkuk the best. He had to cling to God in spite of what happened to his people. He didn’t always understand why God did what He did, but he clung to God anyway. Habakkuk is a prophet in a time that is called Judah’s struggle for death. The people were called ... (read more)

15th of November Part 3 Last time I wrote about the prophets Isaiah, Jonah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. They were used to announce judgment, but also salvation through repentance. I mentioned their dreams and visions. I said that God cleansed their sins in order to sanctify them and I wrote about the persecution they had to go through for the Lord. We must remember that the prophet is only a spokesman for Him. To-day I want to start with the prophet Daniel. His ministry takes place under the 70 ... (read more)

1st of November Part 2 Last time I stated the fact that the prophet is both a spokesman and a seer. He was so both under the Law and in our days. I wrote about Moses, Deborah and Samuel and quoted a prophesy about Jesus from Isaiah 53:4+5. To-day I want to continue to write more about the prophet Isaiah. He was functioning in the 8th century before Christ. His book consists of 66 chapters, the same number as the books of the Bible. The first 39 chapters write mainly about God’s judgment ...

I will write about the prophet in the Old testament, the prophetic ministry and the prophetic gift of the Spirit. I really pray that the Holy Spirit will help me since I want this to be of encouragement and blessing to you. I do not know everything there is to know about this subject, but will share with you what I do know. I might start with the very beginning, with Moses. He was absolutely a great prophet, but he was also appointed to be a leader for his own people. God had already chosen ... (read more)
