I started crying while I was in prayer some days ago. I had just experienced how a broken relationship between old friends was restored and a lot of misunderstanding was wiped away. We had moved to different places and it was not natural to keep the same tight relationship, but the Lord doesn’t want anything that can be interpreted as a division between us. When I prayed for something completely different, I saw how mountains of ice disappeared and how His love should flow between us ... (read more)

Some of you will be offended and surprised by my title. You might think that I talk about sinful pleasure. No, I don’t. I just asked if you could enjoy it. To enjoy something has in many Christian circles a bad connotation. It is often thought of as sexual sins, too much alcohol or a way of living where I and me are in focus. One can get a fantasy of parties with lots of gourmet dishes and where one can drink as much as one wants of all kinds of drinks. The entertainment might be very sinful. ... (read more)

What other alternatives did she have? She could have become irritated and thinking that she wasted her time. She could have accused her friends and she could ... (read more)

15th of May Do you remember that I have written that there will be many births this year? I do not primarily think of biological children, but I think of God’s plans and visions. They will come to pass this year. I said that birth-pains could be painful and it is not easy to give birth. Mine were not easy ones. When you see the child, you forget the pains and you know that it was worth the pain and the hard work. You rejoice in the result. I participate in different groups and we pray a lot. ...

1st of May I can almost see the question marks in the faces of some of you. What is she thinking about now? Is she suggesting a name for our boys? I am a man and I can’t give birth to a child. Where are you heading? I will explain, but first I want us to look up Genesis the 16th chapter. I think that you should read the entire chapter. It is about Abram’s wife Sarai who was old and childless. She had a maidservant with the name of Hagar and she wanted her husband to be with her in order ... (read more)
