TAKE YOUR PLACE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST!   We read in the Bible that those that have received Jesus as their Savior they are the children of God and we belong to the Body of Christ. Christ is the Head on the body. We read in John 15 that Jesus is the true vine, we are the branches and God is the vinedresser. The branches cannot bear fruits by itself. We need to be rooted in Christ and without Him, we cannot bear any fruits. I do like that the Body of Christ is compared to our physical body. ... (read more)

ARE YOU TELLING THE TRUTH?   I am thinking that some of you might say: “No, I only speak the truth. Do you really think that I am lying?” No, I do not really think that many are lying, but some do and what is the truth really? I often hear about people with fear or anxiety and that might make them lie or keep them from telling the whole truth. They are governed by fear or anxiety then and not The Holy Spirit. I will give you some examples making it easier for you to understand. I will ... (read more)

THE LAST DAYS.   The Bible says clearly that we should not know exactly when Jesus is coming back. We shouldn’t accept a prophesy saying the time of His coming then. A prophetess I knew was sure that she was going to live till He came back, but she has been dead for some years now. We should be careful in prophesying times and places, but we cannot deny that there are many things happening in these days reminding us about the prophesies from the Bible. How do we react to wars and threats ... (read more)

GOD WANTS US TO BE WELL AND ENJOY OURSELVES.   I want to start with the third letter of John and the second verse. John is writing this to Gaius who was a leader in the congregation. He was a close friend to John and he was one of the disciples of Jesus. He is writing like this:  “ Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” John continues to honor Gaius for the way he lives his life. Some people do not want to become Christians ... (read more)

    REVIVAL. HOW CAN IT START AND WHAT ARE THE HINDRANCES? ‘ Revival comes from God and not from human beings. The Lord might use people to start a revival, but revival is when The Holy Spirit comes and people want to get rid of their sins and get saved. The power of God is there and people are touched by The Holy Spirit. Many are healed and one experiences miracles. People have a desire to repent and criminality is reducing in areas of revival. There is always something happing ... (read more)

DO YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY?   My question is coming now because Norway is celebrating its national day on the 17th of May and I am Norwegian. On that day I am more Norwegian than any other day during the year. I celebrate the 17th of May no matter where I am in the world. I am actually quite emotional on that day. It is enough with a verse from the national hymn or the tunes from a brass band and I might start crying. I must have some positive memories since I react so emotionally on that ... (read more)

IT IS SPRING.   The month of April is a month of great changes. Remember that I live in Sweden. This year it has changed from heavy snowing till 20 degrees last Saturday. One could enjoy sitting outside in the sun then. A couple of days later we had a cold wind and only a few degrees. In spite of all these changes we can still see some flowers coming up from the ground and I believe that some leaves will be visible on the trees in only a few days, depending on where in Sweden you live. I ... (read more)

IT IS FINISHED! We have just finished celebrating Easter here in Scandinavia. We are often sharing Communion on Maunday Thursday. Jesus instituted the Communion when He ate the last Easter meal with His disciples. He said that the bread was His body and the vine His blood. We are not eating His body, nor do we drink  His blood, but it is a symbol of His suffering for our sins. He gave His body for our sake and His blood was running for our sake and the vine is like His blood. Jesus was saying ... (read more)
