ARE THE INVISIBLE WORLD INVISIBLE?

ARE THE INVISIBLE WORLD INVISIBLE?   For whom is the invisible world invisible? There are lot of things that we human beings cannot see with our eyes. Next question is: What do we mean when we say the invisible world? I think of the spiritual world that is influenced by God and the devil. There are lot of things in the ocean as well as in the atmosphere and in our bodies that are invisible, but that is not what I will write about today.                           I ... (read more)

LET THY KINGDOM COME AND LET THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

LET THY KINGDOM COME AND LET THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.   If you have been a Christian for some time, you will recognize these words from the prayer that Jesus taught His disciples to pray, the prayer we call “Our Father”. We can read this in Matthew 6:7-14. We cannot read a lot about heaven in the Bible, but it does say that there is no sin nor any sickness there. Satan was originally leading the praise and worship in heaven, but then he got jealous and he and one ... (read more)

THE GREAT COMMISSION.

THE GREAT COMMISSION.   I will start with the last verses in Matthew 28:18. “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen. In Mark 16. 15-18 we read: “And Jesus said: “Go ... (read more)

WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU DURING CHRISTMAS?

WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU DURING CHRISTMAS?   Christmas is celebrated at different times and in different ways depending on the country you live in. There might be great differences even within the same country. I do not believe that there is another time with more traditions than Christmas. For some people it is a time with a lot of stress and some people are not looking forward to this time. If one is alone, one might feel more alone than what one feels during everyday life. Loneliness ... (read more)

EXPECTATION

EXPECTATION   In many countries we are now entering a season of expectation. We call it Advent. We are waiting for something. We are not waiting for Jesus to come because He came 2022 years ago. I do not believe that His birthday is exactly on the 24 of December, but we celebrate that He came to earth and became the Savior of the world. We can anticipate His coming back. I love Christmas and Christmas celebration. I get happy when I see the lights and I can buy simple gifts to make ... (read more)

THE BODY OF CHRIST, part 2

THE BODY OF CHRIST. Part 2 Most of us are eager to take care of our body. We are washing the body and we are eating healthy food. We take vitamins to strengthen our immunity and we want to have a proper sleep. It is also important to move our body. Some people eat too much and others too little and some are doing too much exercises and others too little, but the Lord wants out bodies to be in balance. Last time I mentioned that those of us belonging to the Body of Christ is called the Bride or ... (read more)

KRISTI KROPP

KRISTI KROPP.   Forrige gang skrev jeg at vår kropp er et tempel for Den Hellige Ånd. I dag vil jeg skrive om Kristi Kropp som vi alle pånytt- fødte kristne er en del av. Jeg vil begynne med å sitere de første versene fra Johannes 15: Jeg er det sanne vintre, og min Far er vinbonden. Hver grein på meg som ikke bærer frukt, tar han bort, og hver grein som bærer frukt, renser han, så den skal bære mer. Dere er alt rene på grunn av det ordet jeg har talt til dere. Bli i meg, så ...

THE BODY OF CHRIST

THE BODY OF CHRIST.   Last time I wrote that our body is a temple for The Holy Spirit. Today I will write about the Body of Christ. All of us who are borne again belong to that body. I will start by quoting the first verses of John 15. “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not beat fruit He takes away, and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to ... (read more)

WE ARE A TEMPLE.

WE ARE A TEMPLE.   Now you are going too far, some of you will say. “ I am created as a human being”, you might say. I naturally cannot deny that, but the Bible says in first    Corinthians 6:19 that our body is a temple for The holy spirit living inside of us. We can continue to read: “You are not your own. You were bought at a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” How often do we think of our body as a temple? A temple is created for ... (read more)

TO SEE AND TO BE SEEN.

TO SEE AND TO BE SEEN!   We read in Matthew 6:22 that the eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is good, it means that your whole body will be full of light. I know that some people have a sickness in their eyes and others are born blind and some become blind later in life. This has nothing to do with sins and I am so glad that Jesus loved to heal the blind while He was walking here on earth. Jesus is the same today and He will still make the blind to see. We might talk about seeing ... (read more)
