Jesus will use me and I will use both my gift of grace and my natural ability. He’s the good shepherd who takes care of my business and my case. That’s how I think he’ll take care of my people, too.
The picture: Meeting in Filadelfia Ulsteinvik.
Jesus will use me and I will use my gift of grace and my natural ability.
The church and the people made Olav Haraldson a saint after he died. But Jesus chooses us and makes us holy and will use us while we live on this earth. Jesus has said He will use me during this time, then I shall use both my natural ability and the gift of grace He has given me.
Message 22.8.2021:
“There are many yet in my country, says the Lord, who has not heard of me, you do not believe it, but it is true, there are even many who want to meet me but do not know the way,” the Lord says. You’ve been chosen to show them the way, show the way to me. And lift your eyes and look. There are things that you will experience in the days to come, if you lift your eyes and do not look at the impossible, for I am yesterday and today the same, I am, not just something you have memorized, but I am yesterday and today the same, I can put all things in order, saith the Lord.
Don’t look at all that you don’t have, saith the Lord. But lifted your eyes and look at what you have. And your abilities, what you are good at. And go out on what you have and use what I’ve given you. And I’m going to put you above greater things, saith the Lord, as long as you’re obedient and go on what you’ve been given. You think it’s poor, saith the Lord, but it’s not, saith the Lord. Use what you have got, I will encourage you, lifted your gaze and see. Behold, I stand at the door, knocking, and there are many who shall experience me, saith the Lord, through you. Yes, lifted your eyes and look, look around, you’re going to see more than you think. Amen.”
I have asked Jesus to give me a saved woman as a wife and He has given me a gift of mercy and that I shall use.
When I was a little boy, I was taught to call upon Christ as my Savior and Lord and ask him to save my relatives and pray like that for the people and the country as well. That’s how I got to know Jesus, so he became my best friend. Then it must have been by giving me spirit and life, so it was revelation by the Holy Spirit.
Eventually, I understood that salvation was the opposite of being fooled and seduced as by the fall, so I began to ask Jesus to save humans from it. Since it was the woman who was first enticed and seduced like that, I began to ask him specifically to save the woman from it and give me a saved woman as wife. I was afraid to acknowledge my faith in him to humans, but I acknowledged it to him and asked him to free me from that fear of man. When I was in middle school, I noticed that the love affair between Christ and his bride was born in me by the Holy Spirit, so for me it was about the love affair between man and woman. Later, I discovered that it was consistent with Paul’s teachings.
The second last year of middle school, I fell in love with a Christian girl, whom I would call Christina. I let her know, but she wasn’t interested and thought it wasn’t appropriate to be a Christian, so she said she wasn’t Christian after all and stopped attending the devotionals of “the Christian School Team”. Then I let her know that I also believed in Jesus and that surprised her. Yes, she was Christian after all and continued to attend the devotionals. So that’s how I found my way of telling about my faith in Christ.
When I started high school, I started attending the Free Evangelical Congregation and a little in the Pentecostal church, and here I got to experience Jesus answering me through the translation of speech in tongues. Both through the speeches, testimonies, and through such messages, it was preached that Jesus’ work of salvation is completed and perfect, so it was just for me to believe it and thank God for it, we receive the Holy Spirit by faith in Jesus of mere grace, for free, without the requirement of works. Then it’s important for us to go out and witness about him.
Jesus said we should believe in Him and love Him and love each other, to have his word and stuck to it. Then he would come to us and reveal himself for us, he and the Father would take up residence with us. I mean that this I experienced the strongest when I prayed as a little kid and then when I prayed for a girl that I loved. Paul taught us that the hope of God’s glory does not disappoint us, for God’s love is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit that is given to us (Romans 5:1-5). I mean I experienced this in my love for her Christina as well and for me it was obvious and natural, but it occurred to me that for many it was controversial, also for many Christians.
When I was in high school, I fell in love with a Christian girl I call Virtually. I acknowledged to God that his love was between us and it was right, same to whether she would say yes or no to my proposal. With that acknowledgment, I opened myself up even more to it and received a new filling of the Holy Spirit. And she was revealed to me as a child of God who lived in a love affair with the Father, as His child, and in a love affair with Christ, as His bride. What is born of flesh is flesh, but what is born of the Spirit is spirit. We were born of water and Spirit and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. The one who is born of God loves what is born of him.
Later, when I was studying real sciences in Oslo, I discovered a girl who I thought was so wonderfully beautiful, so I told Jesus that if I could get her as wife, I would have her, even though I hadn’t spoken to her or got to know her in any other way. A few days later, I experienced the Holy Spirit driving me and leading me so that I met her, then I said in my quiet mind: “There she is?” Then I experienced a spiritual revelation, it was like heaven opened up and Jesus revealed himself to us and said the same to her, “There she is”, at the same time as I said it. And we know that God reveals his salvation for us in Christ.
The hope of God’s glory does not disappoint us, for God’s love is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given to us. It is also like a flame that we shall let burn in our hearts, like a fire on our altar. As I speak of revelation, I must also understand it as a gift of grace that I shall put into operation and use.
God put the praise into me by the Holy Spirit, so I praised him for saving both men and women, he saved me and he saved Virtually, she praised him as his Savior and Lord and I rejoiced in it, so we were united in our praise of the Lord. When I told her I loved her, of course I wanted her to continue like that and I still do.
Later God revealed his salvation for us in Christ to me and Really and I am convinced that it made her glad and that in turn made me more glad. The hope of God’s glory did not disappoint us, for God’s love was poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit that was given to us. It was poured into my heart and I think I can also claim in this context that it was poured into our hearts. I wished to get close to her and talk with her and I write something about it. Then Jesus reminded me that he looked to the heart and he said to me that like he had been to me, he would also be to the one for whom I prayed. He looked to her heart too, he talked to me and I could count on him to talk to her too.
Jesus’ Church is His bride and I understand this is about us being invited to Jesus’ wedding in heaven and we also invite to it. Then we must dress in the wedding cloth that He gives us and that is by receiving of the Holy Spirit.
Come to Jesus and get rest.
Jesus has recently said that I shall take myself seriously and take Him seriously. All right, I thought, so I believe he will give me a saved woman as my wife and then I shall have her body, like her husband. And since his church is his bride, he shall have her body, like her groom and husband. He gives me help in the form of a wife and that help I will use, also to serve him with, as a spiritual gift of mercy. I wrote that as a comment and then he replied that he has said that we shall come to him, all of us who have a hard time carrying heavy burdens, with him we shall get rest.
The rationality of modern science.
When I started secondary school it became clear that I had good ability in mathematics and it turned out in natural science as well, these subjects I liked. I believed and meant it was possible to combine that interest with my faith in Jesus, with the Spirit and life that I had received in my heart by faith in Him. But I understood that it was controversial among the scholars, both among the Christians and the secularized, which I got a better understanding of when I started studying.
The pioneers of the Reformation were persecuted by the Catholic Church and so were the pioneers of modern science, even though they were Christians. Galilei believed in Christianity, but was persecuted by the leaders of the Catholic Church, so he believed there was no more violent hatred but ignorance against science. In his old days, Newton wrote a book about the book of Daniel and the Revelation in the Bible. So he believed in the revelation that the Bible gives us. Descartes was a mathematician and philosopher who also believed in the revelation of the perfect, a dualism between God who is spirit and the nature he has created, so we get a psychophysical dualism, between soul and body. Spinoza was a Jew who was delighted with Descarte’s philosophy and developed with it a more all-encompassing philosophy. Leibnitz was a mathematician and philosopher with universal interests, he developed differential analyses in parallel with Newton. He imagined a psychophysical parallelism. But how can physics and soul work together in a dualism, how do the parallels connect then? The mathematician Pascal solved that problem by claiming that we have free will. It’s connected by us making our choices. For example, if I go shopping, I decide to do it and so I do. Then I can say that it is my soul that chooses it, decides it and implement it, so that my body does it, in this way it has consequences for the physical nature. That’s how I think.
The Holy Spirit researches everything, both the depths of God and the nature he has created.
The Holy Spirit researches all things, also the depths of God. So it researches the physical and biological nature as well and I can think like that when I study science as well. I imagine that the rational insight I have and I get when studying real sciences is consistent with the spiritual insight I gain by faith in Jesus, for he is the truth that sets us free so that we are no longer slaves under the perishable nature (Rom.8,21). With rational insights, we can know something about the future, but by faith in Jesus we gain future and hope for all eternity, so the spiritual insights He gives us tell us some far more about both the future and eternity, which we otherwise could not know.
1 . Kor.2:6 6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away.
7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.
8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”–
10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.
13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.
16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Moral philosophers load heavy burdens on us.
The Pharisees and the scribes load heavy burdens on the people, because they did not understand the law of Moses and added human made rules.
Matt.15, 1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,
2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.”
3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?
4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’
5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”
6 he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:
8 “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;
9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
10 And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand:
11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”
13 He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Matt.23, 1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat,
3 so practice and observe whatever they tell you–but not what they do. For they preach, but do not practice.
4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.#rl
5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long,
6 and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues
7 and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others.
8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.
11 The greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.
This is how the people became slaves and this is how economic interests came in, such interests have arisen later too, in the church. In our time there is much power interests and economic interests in morality and political philosophy. It also appears in the requirement that you should prove what you say or substantiate it with experience, as if everything we say and claim should be science. But it’s not. We have free will, so much of what we say and believe cannot be founded like this. But when they make that claim, they load heavy burdens on the people, without trying to carry it themselves.
But Jesus called all who were struggling and had hard to bear, with him they should find rest.
Matt.11,25 25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;
26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I’m going to talk with Jesus, he’s got new doors and roads for me. He has plans for me and my family, the Church and my social circle.
The Holy Spirit reveals Christ for us and He makes the Father known to us. I claim that this spiritual revelation goes well together with the rational insights we use in real sciences. The question is how much and how good spiritual and rationalistic insight we have. Through the evangelical preaching and charismatic revival, we get a good insight into the perfect and it cannot be replaced by anything else. We have become children with God, so we can talk to Christ as our Savior and Lord and talk with the Father as His children.
In 1995 I felt lonely and abandoned in Oslo, I had no friends to talk to except when I met other people in the Church (dFEF in Møllergata 40). But Jesus told me to talk with him. And then he said he had new roads and new doors for me, he had plans for me, my family, the Church and my social circle.

«…… as soon as you look at the closed doors. But I want you to know, when doors closes for you, I stand with new opportunities, I will open new doors for you, says the Lord.
Therefore, I wish of you that you turn to a new goal, the opportunities that are open, says the Lord. Study my word and see what blessings I have given you there. Open yourself to me in prayer and praise so that I may lay down in you the blessing that I want to give you, saith the Lord. I have something to give you, it’s for you.
Yes, be quiet before me, saith the Lord. Let me fill your thoughts and your minds. Let my word permeate you so that you may think my thoughts, saith the Lord. I have new paths for you.

“You are gathered here now as I have given you mercy to be before my face. You’re gathered here now for you to spend time together with me and I want to talk with you. Put away your own thoughts and put away your own worries. Put it over on me, and I’ll take it, and then you’re going to spend time with me now and become strength, be grounded, get power to the life you live. I will be your Lord and I will be your God, and then I must get to shape you, then I must get to speak to you and have communion with you. I love you and I have bought you free. Use the time of grace you now have together with me. Worship my name, stay before me, and notice that I take what weighs on you, that I strengthen you, I give you power to this day and to the day of tomorrow.”
Jesus has said many times that I shall look at Him, He speaks to me, and He has said that I will speak to Him, and He will speak through me and do his work through me.
Message 31.1.2022:
“My children, whom I love, for whom I have given my life, I want you to be holy and pure as I am holy and pure,” the Lord says. I want the life I have called you to, shall be a life that you can be—which I can be proud of. I want the life you live in this world shall be a life where I decide, a life where I speak to you and through you. I want you to live here in this world and also know that you are not of this world. For I have taken you out and given you new life, a new heart, and you are new creatures in me, saith the Lord. That you have got a new identity. Therefore, you should not look at yourself and your own shortcomings, your own imperfections. But you shall look at me, because look, I’m making all things new. Behold I make all things new, saith the Lord. Also in your life. Therefore, you shall turn away from that which does not give fruit, you shall turn away from the empty talk, tern you shall turn away from wickedness. Then you shall turn to me and look up at me, and I shall work in you and through you, as only I can do, saith the Lord.
Behold, I know of your works, I know that you have little strength, I know you have gone wrong. But I want you to look at me now, behold, I have set before you an open door, saith the Lord. And you’re going to walk through that door, I’m inviting you again to go in through open doors. I invite you again to move on with me, saith the Lord. And the race hasn’t finished yet, you haven’t come to the end of the way. But you shall chase toward the goal, towards the prize of victory which I have called you to, saith the Lord. For it is a victory prize I have called you to, not a defeat prize, but a victory prize. And therefore you shall have the goal in sight, you shall have my spirit in your hearts and be aware that I will use you, I will speak to you. And you shall see something that you have not seen in a long time, you shall see that I call on the unsaved, I call on the children it has been prayed for, I will again create new life in your heart, but also in those who do not yet know me. And you’re going to see that there’s only one way to come to faith; that my name is held high, my name is proclaimed. And when I am exalted, I shall draw them all to me, saith the Lord. Hallelujah.”
Jesus gives us spirit and life from heaven and wakes us up to life in communion with Him and the Father. Here Jesus said that he would again give new life in my heart, and I believe that has to do with him giving spirit and life to a woman and wake her up to life in communion with him and the Father, thus giving me her as a wife. Yes, since it’s in my heart.
At the foot of the cross we find the true love, it shall be between us’ and therefore we shall rejoice. It is especially important in the love relationship between man and woman.
One of the messages 12.2.2011; https://blessings-from-heaven.com/2016/08/08/2011-02-12-m40-jesus-kalla-sions-dotter-til-a-frigjere-seg/ :
Translation of tongue speech by a woman, this was hard to hear, what I become unsure about, I put in parentheses:
” (I want you to know that?) with eternal love, I have loved you. This love that I have poured out on calvary cross, when I died for every single one, this love I want to be between you. For the greatest of all is love. Therefore, my children, I want you to understand that the love (which you) long for, you have in me. Because without me, you can’t do anything. I am the one who is the love, I am the one who gives love. Yes, there’s nothing you can do by yourselves. You can’t have this love or produce it yourselves. But when you look at me, when you’re in me…
Love overcomes everything, love hides a multitude of sins, (love is the greatest). Therefore, my children, search into me, search into the Word, where I am, there you shall see what true love is. Therefore, my children, rejoice and be glad that you have found the true love. You’ve found me, and when you have me, you have everything you need, for time and (eternity).”
In the song of Salomo it is told about a young girl who was not yet sexually mature, so her brothers wanted to protect her from boys that wanted to propose to her.
Song of Salomo.8,8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver, but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10 I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who finds peace.
It’s natural. The boys that wanted to propose to her were likely to be at her own age or a little older and there is a financial point in it too, they have to grow up so that the financial burdens don’t get too heavy for them, they need to learn a job, so they become able to provide for themselves and their children.
But then there may be so many people loading heavier and heavier burdens on them as they grow older and learn more, that they are never going to make it. That may obviously the purpose, too, because that’s how they try to overcome them. But the solution to it is the same as for the young girl who fell in love with a young boy and the young boy who fell in love with a young girl, long before they were sexually mature. They must learn to appreciate the love between them even though sexual relationship between them is not yet relevant. In a way it is obvious, but how? How can you say so? When a young boy falls in love with a young girl, it feels important for him to be with her and talk with her, maybe get to embrace her and give her a hug. In this way it surely also feels important for a young girl to be with the young boy she is in love with. The physical touch must then be careful, as we saw in the Song of Salomo.8,8 … But they can make up for it by talking together and thus they develop personal life, spirit, soul and intellect. For that, they need God’s Word, they can hear God’s Word and speak it to each other and it is, as you know, life-giving. Jesus is the Word of God and John the Baptist said that Jesus has the bride, he is Messiah.
John 3 22 After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing.
23 John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized
24 (for John had not yet been put in prison).
25 Now a discussion arose between some of John’s disciples and a Jew over purification.
26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness–look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him.”
27 John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.
28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.’
29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete.
30 He must increase, but I must decrease.”
31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all.
32 He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony.
33 Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.
34 For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure.
35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
Paul said that he presented the Church for Christ as a pure bride, then it is important for us to turn to Him, love Him, and look upon Him, and it is by the Holy Spirit to glorify and reveal him for us.
2 .Corint.11, 2 For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.
3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
Heb.12, 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Jesus gives me a wonderful and glorious rest that I can´t understand with my human mind.
We will probably notice that there are strong economic and political power interests in fooling and seducing the woman as in the fall, and then using her to entice the man with, we notice it far into the church and Christian organizations, the purpose is clearly precisely to seduce the church and the Christian organizations. What can we men do as countermeasures? Just turn to Christ, love him and look at him. He gives us spirit and life from heaven and wakes us to life in communion with him and the Father. With faith in him, we can hope that he will also wake the woman to life in communion with him and the Father and thus with us as well, yes, as the wife of a man, in sanctification as appropriate in a Christian church.
Jesus said he gives me a wonderful and glorious rest.
The message 17.2.2013:
“Yes, once again I have spoken to you, through my Word, and by the Holy Spirit and to awaken your pure consciences, that you should look upon me, I who am author and finisher of the faith, you shall look upon me through all things, in all the conditions and circumstances of life. Because you’ve got to experience trials and you think in your heart, it´s no use. But come to me, all who are struggling and have heavy burdens to carry and I will give you rest.
I want to give you a wonderful and glorious rest. A rest that you cannot understand with your human mind. But I will give you rest in your heart and mind, that you may trust me at all times, that I am who I have said to be and I will lead you out of the trouble. And you shall praise me, and you shall honor me, for I the Lord am the one who loves you, I am the one who has taken you up, and I am the one who leads you. And when you look at me, you’re not going to go wrong, but you’re going to experience a voice behind you that says, this is the way, walk on it.”
When I heard this message, I first thought of Virtually, then Reelly. The point is, Jesus’ work of salvation is perfect and complete, so on that foundation I get to rest. That foundation holds, both for me and for them. He is perfect, so when I look at him I see the perfect. He saves me perfectly and I can believe and hope that He saves them also perfectly. He is God’s beloved Son and he loves us with the love of God, he loves me with it and he loves them with it and I think he loves them through me with it. He’s said he wants to make me a conduit for his blessing, so I think it’s going to be for them and a lot of together people with them.
God created life on earth in 6 days and then he rested the seventh day. As long as Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, they were in God’s rest, resting on the foundation of the work God had done, when He created. At the fall of sin, men fell out of that rest, but now Jesus’ work of salvation is complete, so on that foundation we may again come into God’s rest. So it is both on the foundation that God completed the creation and that Jesus completed the work of salvation. God has revealed salvation to us in Christ.
By the fullness of the Holy Spirit, we shall win more than victory.
In the autumn of 2014 I started studying biology at the University of Oslo. At a lecture, I felt for a moment strongly attracted to a beautiful girl with light hair, just as she walked past me. I felt the attraction of her body, yes, so it would be approachable to say that I wanted her, but it was under the reigning of the Holy Spirit, so I experienced it as the power of God and therefore I formulate it this way, that I felt strongly attracted to her. After I had gone to bed that night, I acknowledged this to Jesus in my evening prayer and at a meeting in Maranatha the following Sunday, he answered me like follows.
The message 12.10.2014:
“Yes, saith the Lord, I have said in my Word, that you shall rejoice and rejoice in my salvation. Rejoice in me, saith the Lord, and I’ll give you what your heart desires. Don’t get busy with what’s around you, don’t look around, neither to the right nor the left, but have your eyes fixed on me, says the Lord. Be engaged with what’s up there. I’ve said in my word, if you’re upright with me, then you’re going to seek what’s up there. But one thing is necessary, saith the Lord, it is to be filled with my Spirit, filled with my anointing and power during this time. For look, the evil one, he resists you. But with my power and my anointing, ye shall win more than victory, saith the Lord. For look, the spirit that dwells in you, it is stronger than the one in the world.
Many are them these days, looking back and trailing behind on the road. Therefore, my children, ye shall cry unto me, and pray for them, that they shall get new power and new courage, and I shall meet them again, saith the Lord. For look, there are many who are hurt, there are many who are in pain and suffering. But you, my children, you shall go out and comfort them. And you shall help them along the way, for I have said in my Word, that you who are strong, ye are guilty of carrying the weak. For see, there are many weak ones among my people. But I, the Lord, wish to call them these days, and I, the Lord, shall fill them with my anointing and power. And then the weak shall say, I’m a hero. For see, it’s only with my power that you can win.
Yes, I will praise and exalt you, my Savior and Lord, because you have saved me, because you have written my name in the book of life. And I know when you come, I’m going to be with you. And I’m going to be part of that crowd, which is going march into the place with the firm foundations. Oh, how I long to see you, who my soul loves. Amen.”
This girl I call Poly-Esther, she looked like a Norwegian girl, so I was a little surprised when I got close to her again and discovered that she was talking another language with another girl. I asked her and learned that it was Russian, she was from Ukraine and the other was from Russia.
Jesus has plans with me, my family, the Church and my social circle, and it has to do with my socialization. I have asked him to give me a saved woman as wife and that is a very important and central point of our socialization. Marriage and family life is the natural and most basic social unit in society.
He has reminded me many times of how important it is for me to be filled with the Holy Spirt. I have said yes every time and I have thought of my body as a temple for the Holy Spirit and thought that I must open every room in this temple to Christ and to the filling of the Holy Spirit. Especially considering that he will give me a wife, so that it applies to her too, for then we shall be one flesh, one body, which is thus still a temple to the Holy Spirit. Besides, he wants to make me a conduit for his blessing, so it comes to she that he gives me as my wife and to many with her. He makes me a blessing for my family and my relatives, my people and my country. I can and will believe that and this will be my objective. Yes, he has recently said that he will create new life in me and in many others, so it is surely connected and thus he socializes us into communion with him and the Father, as His Church. When he gets exalted, he’ll drag everyone to himself.
Build peacefully on the foundation of the gospel; marriage, family life, home and church, education, society and nation.
God reconciled the world with him by Christ dying instead of us, Christ atoned for all our sin with his death on the cross. On that foundation, we have peace with God and on that foundation we have peace with each other. On that basis, our relationship with him is again established and on that basis the love affair between man and woman is again established. But now Christ is the last Adam, who is from heaven and who for us has become a life-giving spirit. He is the head of the man and the man is the head of the woman and in this way Christ is the head of the church that is his bride.
So I think he gives me a wonderful and glorious rest by saving a wife for me, so she becomes a help to help me and that help I will use and make use of. He has given me a spiritual gift of grace that I will use, so through the rebirth and filling of the Holy Spirit, she becomes a gift of grace with which I will serve him with. For he is life and gives us meaning to life in that we live for him. We love Him because He loved us first and by loving Him and praising Him as our Savior and Lord it is quite clear that this is happening in accordance with our own free will and in peace with God and in peace between us. He gives spirit and life to both me and her and talks to both me and her.
Jesus will use me during this time and I will use what He has given me. I want to see this in a historical context. Norway became a free and independent nation with relatively peaceful methods. I want to honor and thank God and the Lamb for that, for God has created all things and finished it and Jesus’ work of salvation is completed and perfect, so we could build on that foundation. On that foundation, our fathers and ancestors were allowed to build marriage and family life, houses and homes, and as I said, it is the natural and most fundamental social unity of the people, society and the nation. And we still get to do so. I get that too and so I expect he will give me help in the form of a wife and that help I will use. Then I can say and claim that this is how he does to me and with us and so he will do with others as well. That’s what he does to my people and my country and that’s how he’s going to do it with other people and countries also. So it becomes an example for others who are fighting for freedom and national independence.
But what about those who fight against freedom and national independence? Well, the gospel should be preached to all peoples, it is most fundamental and so it is valuable to the people, no matter how they organize their society. It’s fertile, so it might teach them how to build and organize their community in a better way. It is like that in Norway and other free and independent nations. We may think we’ve done well and got a good society, but we should honor and thank God for it. In a living society, development has to take it´s course and it’s still about finding and going the right way. Christ is the way to the Father, and it is still about finding it, choosing it and walking it.
Be blessed by faith in Jesus both as an individual and as a people.
Harald Fairhair unified Norway to a kingdom, but that kingdom was not very large. Then Olav Tryggvason and Olav Haraldson the Holy unified Norway to a kingdom again, with Christianity, and that were greater kingdoms. They used force, yes, in the military and political game it seemed like people were Christianized by force. But that is still not the most fundamental cause. People had already heard about Christianity, for the Vikings went to countries where Christianity had taken root and there they got to heard about it. There were someone who preached it and someone who heard it and believed, in this way Christianity came to our country. Faith comes from the preaching and preaching of Christ’s Word, so it is most fundamental. That’s what we still have to focus on and with modern mass media it should be even more efficient.
In the Old Testament, we see that a people is often referred to as a man and/or a woman, often their for-father and his wife, like Adam and Eve. It is an important point that our soul and personality come into its right before God and then socialization becomes important. Thus, the individual man represents his people to God and hopefully may represent God to the people as well. That was the point of the clergy. It was important to the prophets as well, but for them it was most important to represent God to the people.
Jesus said He would make me a conduit for his blessing, so I imagine He makes me a blessing to my people, in that my body is a temple to the Holy Spirit. Then I first think of my closest family, then the people of Møre og Romsdal and Nordfjord and then the Norwegian people. Then I think of the people of the Nordic countries and those who come from the Nordic Vikings. Moreover, I think of the people of Europe and those who originated from it. I guess that’s what’s called the white race, all right, so it is, but then we’ll have to include the area further east as well.
But my point is that the Vikings accepted Christianity and so they became more peaceful. Why and how? On the foundation of the gospel, we got peace with God, and in the Christian Church we had a peaceful socialization. We were blessed, both as individuals and as people, and that means entering communion with God. This was valuable to us and it still is. It’s important for us to acknowledge it, realize it, and accept the blessing, so we get even better insight into it and becomes even more blessed. By faith in Christ, I am blessed and therefore I say the blessing to my people; Christ is our Savior and Lord, He is the Son of God, so the true and living God is our God.
