Concentrate

The other day I was discussing and praying for a specific goal with Crystal Hicks and Michael Thomas. Later on Michael guided me through a session of legislation in the spiritual realms. But one thing in particular that I remember was Crystal prophesying; ‘YOU make the choice, Victor, says the Lord.’ She was, of course, … Les mer

More substance, please

ENGLISH/PRAISE Listen to Tori Kelly and Jon Batiste rendering this soft version of “Amazing Grace”. Granted, the two are not exactly Hillsong material but don’t you ever happen to harbour just a tiny little wish that worldly musicians could teach us a bit more on how to perform the old, battle proven hymns? Those that … Les mer

React? Or — Act!

ENGLISH/PROPHECIES When we look back on our lives, we will discover that we are more a product of our responses to the situations, criticisms, failures, and successes of our past — than to any other single factor. We respond to expectations from church, from relatives, family, and friends, even from those at school or in … Les mer

ENGLISH/PROPHECIES In the book of Genesis we read about Joseph who first experienced the pit, then a prison, and finally, the palace. If YOU can survive the pit and the prison that try to steal your dreams, you WILL experience the palace! From the PIT — Via the PRISON — To the PALACE: God never … Les mer

ENGLISH/PROPHECIES One of the major tasks being carried out on a regular basis in the several prayer groups set up by Michael Thomas under this International Network of Kingdom Creators, is the tuning in to the voice of The Holy Spirit.

Is it God? And, is it meant for me?

ENGLISH In charismatic circles we sometimes receive messages from God, a term that is a common denominator for different kinds of communications from The Holy Spirit. It is, however, important to gauge the quality of such messages. Is the message really from God, or is it just a person expressing his wishful thinking? And, furthermore, … Les mer

Going to war even when on vacation

ENGLISH I have just concluded a short holiday with my daughter, Andrea. Although I am no longer a well funded man—not the way I used to be before my early retirement—I have been able to spend well on Andrea. We maintain an axiom within the family—live inexpensively day to day, and live like a king … Les mer

Laziness is not a Christian deed

‘Laziness is not a disability.’ Sign on a parking spot down town in a Norwegian holiday village (Skudeneshavn, Rogaland County). May I add, it’s not a Christian deed, either!

Theology divides

ENGLISH/THE ROAD AHEAD The Naked (not nude) Pastor lost faith and left ministry some years ago, mainly because theology filled the place in his heart where Jesus should have resided. I do, of course, not recommend his choice of leaving both ministry and Christ, but he’s right in this respect: Theology can indeed divide! >> … Les mer

Why People Stop Going to Church

ENGLISH / CHURCH LIFE Do you sit in church and wonder ‘WHY AM I HERE’? This happened to me quite a bit. My earliest memories were sitting through Brethren church services, where my grandparents served as missionaries. Us grand kids referred to the morning meeting, as the boring meeting. Then I sat through hundreds of … Les mer

Set limits

ENGLISH/DEVOTIONAL Sometimes it’s important to cut off other people’s access to yourself. It’s about establishing barriers. It’s about self-care. And, it’s all about saying ‘NO!’ to others’ limitless expectations. From time to time, Jesus entered into the solitary. He was fasting in the desert. He met God at the mountain top. Even in the Gethsemane, … Les mer

Constitution Day

ENGLISH May the 17th is the Norwegian Constitution Day. Where many countries choose to celebrate independence, Norway chose to celebrate its Constitution. To some extent, we may arguably claim that our Constitution is the exact oppsosite of our independence. The Constitution was written as a dependency. As a dependency to God. As a dependency to … Les mer

A draught in May

ENGLISH/THE ROAD AHEAD A full drizzle for weeks now. Doctors scared of new cancer. Personal challenges. In a few words, that’s the sum of my worries. Then, I found the solution! The last few weeks have proven difficult to handle. Some personal challenges may be shared, in part, later, while I will still keep what’s … Les mer

Failure

Failure does occasionally happen, but do you let failure stop you? Or, define you? Originally shared with the Kingdom Creators on Facebook, April 30th, 2019.

Persecution

Now, Jesus never promised us believers an easy path and ever more success, but still persecution is harder on us than in any other faith. And what was the answer from Christians on Sri Lanka? Not war, but love and increased ministry and dissemination of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If anyone tells you differently, … Les mer
