A prayer of Repentance

Visits: 1168

Do you feel an urgent need to pray to God for forgiveness? Then come to Jesus, with a true acknowledgement of your faults and wrongdoings. Ask God our Father, who sees everything, to wash you clean. A true repentance must be genuine from your heart.

Do you feel broken? Through Jesus, God wants to heal you and make you whole again. It’s a promise and a gift no one but the Almighty Father can accomplish.
If you have a stony heart, ask God to replace it with a new heart of flesh. Ask Him for a renewal of Spirit, Mind and Soul. Then God will reward you with overwhelming JOY!

The sacrifice God desires the most is a broken spirit. Where you are truly sorry. God promises He will not reject a broken and repentant heart. Thank you God, we can trust in you and you alone!

Psalms 51:1-17 (NKJV)
Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your loving kindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin [is] always before me. Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight – That You may be found just when You speak, [And] blameless when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.  Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden [part] You will make me to know wisdom.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, [That] the bones You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me [by Your] generous Spirit.  Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, [And] my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.  O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.  For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart – These, O God, You will not despise.

Same-sex relations & membership in the free church.

About Evangeliska FriKyrkan’s (EFK in Sweden) report on same-sex relations and membership in the free church.

Don’t close your eyes to the fact that the concept of membership in the free church is based on biblical theology.

In EFK’s (Evangelical Free Church) report on same-sex relationships, they give advice that is probably perceived as controversial by many in the Free Church, namely that people living in same-sex relationships should be welcomed as members of EFK congregations. They write: “In concrete terms, this means that our second piece of advice is that, regardless of whether you live in a same-sex relationship or not, you should be allowed to be a member of an EFK congregation. To all the brave who have shared their stories with us, we advise EFK’s congregations to say: “Welcome home.”

Even some people with a traditional view of same-sex relationships – such as Stefan Swärd – do not seem to attach much importance to this. He says it is “of secondary importance” . I think that is a mistake. It is true that different churches have different structures and thus different concepts of membership. In the State Church of Sweden (Svenska Kyrkan), a member does not have any great influence on the local congregation. Certainly, you have the right to vote in the church election, but you have no opportunity to choose who will become a bishop or a priest. The Church of Sweden has also cultivated the idea of ​​a “peoples church”, which means that everyone in Sweden should feel at home in the Church of Sweden. It should be “the folks church”. Without demands on faith in Christ, repentance, full surrender to God and being a disciple – that is not required to be a member.

The Free Church was born largely as a reaction against this. The point of the Free Church was that its members really wanted to be – and saw themselves – as disciples of Jesus. It was the true believers who were in the Free Church, those who took God, Jesus and the Bible very seriously and who strove to live accordingly. It was also based on the Bible as a norm that the Free Church’s membership concept was formed. The Bible itself speaks of those who are inside and those who are outside. In 1 Corinthians 14:23, Paul speaks of the possibility that “uninitiated or unbelieving” can come to the service. This shows both that outsiders were actually welcome to Christian gatherings, but also that there was one inside and one outside.

Movie director censors 9/11 documentaries after pressure

Visits: 466

The African-American director Spike Lee and HBO announce that they will censor their own documentary series on the September 11, 2001, about the so called terrorist attacks in New York.

The documentary series, which is made on behalf of HBO, deals not only with the events around 11 September but also with how the corona virus, the policy of lock downs and other crises that have affected New York and its inhabitants.

The documentary episodes, which are scheduled to premiere on September 11 – 20 years after the buildings collapsed where a total of 2996 people died – would initially largely focus on a longer discussion with members of the network Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and their thoughts and views on what actually caused the buildings to collapse.

The group, which consists of architects and engineers, physics professors and mechanical designers with long working experience, among other things, believes that the official version of events can not be correct. This is partly because the official evidence presented with the aircraft theory, is poor and has large gaps, as well as the fact that the buildings were designed to withstand collisions with passenger planes and could never collapse in the way they actually did. How could the buildings crumble on it’s on foot ground, in free fall?

Instead, it is believed that most indications shows that it was controlled explosions that caused the buildings to collapse.

According to the New York Times, many journalists consider it unacceptable that Lee initially gave “as much space” to Architects and Engineers as to proponents of the official explanatory model. The newspaper also states that a full 30 minutes of critical discussion about the events has therefore now been censored.

The fact that people who question the official narrative would be allowed to participate in the documentary, lead quickly to massive criticism from American establishment journalists and other thinkers. According to HBO, Spike Lee has now promised to completely cut off the politically incorrect discussion.

Lee himself does not want to comment on why the documentary is now being cut, but has previously stated that he has questions about what really happened on September 11 and that it is therefore important that these perspectives are given space.

“I mean, I have questions and I hope that maybe the legacy of this documentary can be that Congress holds a hearing, a hearing in Congress regarding the 9/11 event”, he said. He pointed out, among other things, that the enormous temperatures required to melt steel, could not be achieved by jet fuel. He also highlights how the collapse of building 7 (WTC 7) strongly reminded of exactly how a controlled explosion works.

“But people will decide for themselves what to believe. My approach is to present the information in the film and let the viewers decide for themselves. I respect the intelligence of the audience”.

It is noteworthy that this is not the first time that Spike Lee ends up in “heat” in the public for “politically incorrect” elements in his films. The 1990 film Mo ‘Better Blues received massive criticism from American journalists and Jewish lobby organizations for allegedly portraying Jewish nightclub owners in a “dangerous and anti-Semitic stereotype.”

The love of God was so overwhelming!

Throughout his upbringing, David’s heart was passionate for Islam and he was a jihadist who wanted to get Christians to convert to Islam. But God brought him from his home country to Sweden – where he met God. The emptiness he had felt disappeared and for the first time in his life; he felt loved.
33-year-old David, likes to carry the Bible under his arm. It’s “my weapon,”as he describes it. But there was a time in David’s life when he was searching for completely different weapons.

Born and raised in a strict, Muslim family in Afghanistan, it was Islamic thoughts that characterized him. He tried to be the best Muslim he could. All he did was to honor Muhammed. David, born with a Muslim name, hated Jews. He thought Christians were “poisonous” and felt that they were not following God’s path properly.
But deep in his heart he felt an emptiness, he felt that there had to be something deeper and he have always had a longing for it.

David tried to fill the void inside in different ways. First by investing in kung-fu, where he got a black belt. Then in kickboxing, where he also reached the top. In both sports he discovered that there was a “roof” that could not be lifted – then there was no more. The emptiness persisted. He have been at the top of the martial arts, but still his soul just got weaker.

Later he joined forces with jihadists and wanted to go to Syria and to fight in the war, assured that this was the path the Quran urged him to take if he wanted to come to paradise. He wanted to go out in jihad [holy war; red note]. He needed to kill another man to get to heaven, that was the promise of Allah. So he was convinced and desired to die in battle. But he never came to Syria. Thanks to the grace of God, David explains today. Continue reading “The love of God was so overwhelming!”

Why you need to study the Bible (and more)

Visits: 996

The knowledge of Jesus (who is the Word in the flesh, see John chapter 1) and the knowledge of the written Word, they cannot be separated. To know the Bible is to know Jesus, and vice versa. It is like knowing the author when reading one of his books.
Further more, Academics (knowledge) must lead to Application (wisdom) which must lead to Compliance (obedience). When you hear the Word you must Obey.

It is elementary and of most importance, that we move from carnality into spirituality. This can only happen when you receive the Holy Spirit. That’s called to be Born Again. When the new Spirit starts to live inside us, our new being, it will not completely destroy the old creature (our old man, bond to sin). They coexist and struggle for control (Romans 7:22-25). “Head knowledge” does not change us. “Heart knowledge” is the objective of the teaching gift. We need a change of heart; from a stony heart into one of flesh. One that is open to God, one that loves God above everything. A heart that truly loves people. Which loves to exercise righteousness (do what is right and pleasing to God). Christianity is really a heart (love) issue. A Christian faith and community should be constituted by personal relationship with God through Christ, a relationship known in the heart rather than through the mind. Ezekiel 18:31; 36:26,27

Bible studies draws the students (disciples) into the Word. It allows us to see how we, and our families and our churches measure up. “Mind the gap!” was the mantra of the prophets, who constantly warned God’s people when they went astray. Reading the Scriptures (Bible) should inspire and encourage others to have the same peace and joy we have, as adopted children of God, through the atonement of Jesus Christ, our King and Lord.

Reading the word and meditate on the Bible verses, should encourages us to press toward the mark when we stumble. It helps us to keep the faith and to have patience while under trouble times. The Bible convicts us when we are wrong – and it mirrors us, we can through the stories see the problematic state (fallen nature) we are in. But it also shows us the way out, and gives us joy when we claim and see the promises of God being fulfilled, for those who listen, obey and fear Him.

The great conspiracy with the United Nations.

Visits: 908

“The question how and why the United Nations are the crooks of the great conspiracy to destroy the sovereignty of United States, and the enslavement of the American people, within a UN One World dictatorship, is a complete and unknown mystery to the vast majority of the American people.
The reason for this unawareness at the frightened danger to our country, and to the entire free world, is simple.
The masterminds behind this great conspiracy, have absolute control of all our mass communication media. Especially Television, the Radio, the Press and Hollywood.”
This quote was made by Myron C Fagan in a 1967 speech.
If he is correct, it means that all the digital communications are also in the hands of the conspirators of mankind, meaning the mobile phones, the computers and the Internet and all social platforms – they are controlled by this global Elite.

So who are the conspirators Myron C Fagan is taking about? In the book of Revelation 18:23-24 we find that they are the global companies and those who became rich by buying and selling. They are the new kings since the kings of old was replaced in violent revolution (French, Russian and Chinese revolutions), in silent coups like assassinations, through blackmail, bribery and secret societies. By wars they took control over nations. By list they took control over central banks. By lending & interest and printing money out of thin air and orchestrating economic recessions and booms they manipulated most of the wealth into their hands.  

“… For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.  “And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.” Revelation 18:23-24

Jesus blood and righteousness


Lyrics:
Jesus your blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
‘midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
with joy I lift up my head!

Bold shall I stand in your Great Day;
for who a charge to me shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am.
From sin, fear, and guilt and shame.

Through your blood and righteousness,
I am so richly blessed.
By grace I am justified,
redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus be endless praise to You,
whose boundless Mercy did pursue,
and for me full atonement made,
Your blood my ransom paid!

When from the dust of death I rise,
to claim my mansion in the skies,
then this shall still be all my plea,
He lived and died for me!

Oh let the dead now hear Your voice,
now bid the banished ones rejoice,
their beauty this their glorious dress,
Your blood and righteousness.

Love God yes, but do you still following your own desires?

Visits: 12896

There is one major root problem for today’s Christians. That’s why I like to address “We who love God but at the same time choose to follow our own desires.”

Jesus said; “- Go away you workers of iniquity!”
(You say you know me – but I say I don’t know you. There is nothing of me in you) Luke 13:27
What does Jesus mean? And what should we not do?

What we should do is to get away from our crocked ways and behavior. Instead we should get closer to God. Because when we draw ourselves closer to Him – He will get closer to us. And when we have spent time with the Lord, when we continually are filled with His Holy Spirit, we don’t have to resist our fleshly desires in the same way we otherwise would.

The power of Forgiveness

Visits: 557

There is power in forgiveness. If for example when you are out evangelizing, ask the person if they are angry or bitter with anyone.
It can be within the family, in school or work place, in past relations. Ask if he or she can forgive. If the person says “yes I can forgive”, then have the person speak it out, by repeating your prayer to Jesus, for example; “- Jesus I forgive the person who have hurt me. Jesus please also forgive me for my wrongdoings.”

What’s in our hearts should come out in a confession, either it’s a confession of sin, wrongdoing, binding or losing e t c, anything you like to declare or proclaim.
Sometimes the person have difficulties in forgetting the past, then remind him that it’s better to let go, and instead to be set free. Remember it’s a difference between forgetting and forgiving.
Some people may say they have forgiven, but as soon as they speak it out, they have difficulties and may suddenly cry. So we are not telling them to forget, but to forgive, so they can let go (and move on and thereby not think of it that much so their hurt and their feelings and emotions can get healed).

Sometimes it can be difficult to forgive someone and speak it out. I usually suggest then, what if we ask Jesus Himself to help us? Like this; “- Jesus help me forgive this person, because I can’t do it on my own.”
You see, when someone sins, he is in debt (and the debt of sin is death). So when we forgive a person who have done anything wrong to us, and hurt us, we set them free from their debts! Continue reading “The power of Forgiveness”

When are you saved?

Visits: 540

Is the salvation in Christ instantaneous or is it an ongoing process?
Are you saved at the very moment, when you accept Jesus with your mouth, and believe in Him? Many argue it is so, they believe in “once saved – always saved”. “Salvation is a gift, it can’t be earned” or worked for”.

Those who argue that you are saved forever,  from the very moment when you open yourself up to Him and receive Him, and that this blessing and salvation can never be cancelled, that it’s an instant and eternal validation that God will not withdraw, they don’t believe in an ongoing saving rescue process (they can’t understand it); they refer most of the time to these Bible verses:

John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:”

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9, 13 “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. … For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

David Pawson wrote these lines in his book “Understanding the water baptism”:
“Too many want to be happy in the next life (and in this life; my note) rather than holy in this one. They want to be safe rather than saved.
They are usually looking for an instant, even instantaneous, salvation that can be guaranteed as soon and as quickly as possible. Continue reading “When are you saved?”
