Trust in Him!

15th of November I am writing this sermon for you as well as for myself. I am in a situation right now where I cannot rely on people, but only on HIM, MY SAVIOUR AND REDEEMER. I will feed us both with Bible-verses that can build our faith in Him. I had planned to start with psalm 37:5, but my eyes luckily fell on a couple of previous verses. There we read: “Trust in the Lord, and do good. Dwell in the land, and feed on His fatihfulness.” I am so glad that I saw this verse. We can ... (read more)

What are you looking for, part 2?

1st of November Part 2 Last time I asked if your search for a partner was more important than the Lord. I also came with questions concerning the Lord as your Provider and the Lord as your Healer, your doctor. There is a great longing for signs and wonders in the Body of Christ to-day. I am one of those who is longing for it. I want to see it daily. It is not wrong to seek signs and wonders and stand on the promises of God, but we must be well aware of the fact that it is the Lord who heals and ... (read more)

What are you looking for, part 1?

15th of October Part 1 I was earlier writing about our focus. These sermons belong together. It is a fact that WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR, WE GIVE OUR ATTENTION TO. Many men and women in all ages are seeking for a partner. I am not talking about a casual sex-partner, but about Christians who are looking for life-partners. Almost every single brings up the subject of their longing for a person to share their life with. They might talk about their sorrow and frustrations. A lot of bitterness might ... (read more)

Where do I have my focus, part 2?

Part 2 This time I want to focus on how we look at our fellow human beings. I recently listened to a sermon and the pastor got me thinking. This pastor worked a lot with homeless people and he told several stories, especially about his first meeting with them. He did not think:” Oh, they are so bad. How can they live like this?” He knew very well that the Spirit of the Lord lived in HIM and that Jesus loved THEM. He often experienced that God in him brought forth God’s ... (read more)

Where do I have my focus, part 1?

15th of September Part 1 I might as well have called it: “What kind of expectations do I have?” I will start by sharing a personal story with you. I live in Sweden. One day I went away for a few hours and I left my mobile at home. When I returned, I saw that a friend of mine had called on my mobile. It was both a missed call and a message that promted me to call her. She had never called my mobile before, only the regular phone. This was also at a time when she is usually at work. ...

How can we preserve our faith in Jesus during the year of 2008, part 3?

15th of February Part 3 Last time I emphasized how important it was to live by the promises and to have faith in the blessings. We must remind ourselves of what we do have and not all the things we think we lack. I also emphasized the importance of a daily LOVE-RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. He wants us to be close to Him and if we keep ourselves close to Him, He will keep close to us. (Jam.4:8) I also want us to read from John 15:9. It goes like this: “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved ... (read more)

How can we preserve our faith in Jesus during the year of 2008, part 2?

1st of February Part 2 I will start this time by reminding you of the most important points from last time. In order to be preserved in our faith, we have to RECEIVE JESUS AND ALL THE GIFTS HE WANTS TO GIVE US AND ALL THE THINGS HE WANTS TO DO FOR US. We must GIVE HIM ALL OUR BURDENS AND BELIEVE THAT HE LOVES US. HE IS FOR US AND NOT AGAINST US. Sin and pride can be hindrances. When we are born again, a unbiblical cord is risen straight up to the Father and we can have contact with God, Jesus ... (read more)

How can we preserve our faith in Jesus during the year of 2008, part 1?

15th of January Part 1 I wrote last time about the confessing of sin, the importance of forgiving and I warned againt growing a bitter root. I mentioned a few of the prophesies i had gotten myself and a few of those I had heard. More have come to me in the beginning of the year and they all go in the same direction. IT WILL BE TOUGHER TIMES IN THE WORLD AND THAT WILL INFLUENCE THE PEOPLE OF GOD. IT WILL NOT BE SO EASY TO BE A CHRISTIAN. THE OPPOSITION AGAINST US WILL INCREASE IN MANY PLACES. ... (read more)

Welcome to the year of 2008!!!!

1st of January I really say: “Welcome to a new year!” I want to start with a sentence from a Norwegian singer and writer, Alf Prøysen. It goes roughly like this: “You will get a new day tomorrow, a clean day that has never been before, with clean sheets and coloured pencils.” This is how we should start the new year, but many cannot do that. We bring so much of the past with us into the fresh year that the pages are already partly stained. Think of the people that are ... (read more)

To make a comparison!

15th of August I will to-day share a story that my daughter wrote some years ago. We found it some days ago and I will share it with YOU. This story will be the background for my reflections on the same theme. Read it and allow the Holy Spirit to touch you. The queens and the King. One night I was dreaming and I saw two beautiful queens in lovely dresses. The dresses were shining and I saw diamonds and precious stones. Their entire beings were radiating the Glory of God. No one had seen ... (read more)
