Do You really??

Wern´t really planning on going online just now cause I´ve got a lot of studies to deal with but I just had to share this with you:

I was thinking about this scripture Zef.3:17 says:

"The Lord your God is with you, He is the Mighty Worior who saves. He will take great delight in you. In His love He gives you rest, He will rejoyce over you with singing."

..so I asked: "Do You really, Lord?" With the words still on my lips I get this picture in my mind from my kindergarden days: how I "rejoyced" and "took great delight" when the kids did something they had never done before, or just smiled or reached out to me.

In gratitude tears fell from my eyes: What an awesome God we have - Who loves beond any misstakes, Whos grace reaches the unreachable and brings the hopeless back into His Hope!!

"For I know what thoughts I have for you, says the Lord: Thoughts of peace and prosperaty. I will give you a future and hope."
(don´t remember this script word by word or where it´s written but you see the essence) (also something that made all the difference for me:)
1.Tim.2:3-4 says:"This is good, and pleases our God and Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowlege of the truth."

So people - this speaks clearly, not just to me but to everyone of you as well!! 

God loves YOU!! 
He takes great delight in YOU!! 
He rejoyces over YOU with singing!!

Come to Him, He gives hope that nor will nor can ever die :)
God bless ya´ll ;)

I looked around...

I´ve seen alot in this life.
News of war, catastrofees, murder, rapes, struggles, fights, terror, torture... 
It makes me wanna look away.

I´ve seen girls struggle with their selfesteem, or selfconfidence..not eating or purging..cutting or hurting themselfs in different ways..
...makes me wanna look away.

Such sadness in those beautiful eyes.
Such pain that just won´t let go.

I´ve seen hate: bricks trown to hurt someone who is a little bit different. Hateful words spoken. Hateful eyes.
Bitterness.. Darkness..
I need to look away!

Then I feel the sun, it still warms my face..
The colurs of the sunset looking bright and clear.
Stars are still shining, the rose smells so good. The beauty of a bed of flowers. The magestic featurs of the raising horses. The comforting kindness of a dog.

I know You are there! And I know You care... Why else should the sun keep rising? Why else all this beauty in the middle of the darkness? It´s Your way of saying: 

"I love you through it all!"

It´s Easter time...

There´s something that has been on my mind lately that I wanted to share with you all..

It has to do with how God sees us: the humans.

It´s so easy to get lost in the thought that we are nothing but sinners: Ugly, awfull, dirty sinners!

I want to take this Eastertime to remind ya´ll about what God says about creation, about humans, you, me and everyone out there.

First...

"In the beginning God created heaven and earth....And He sow that it was good!"

"Lets make humanbeing in Our image, in Our likeness. They shall rule over the fish, birds and everything that moves upon the earth....He made them to be man and woman. And He blessed them." Everything was given to human: fruittrees, berries. Greenplants as food for the animals.

"And God sow what He had made and it was more then good!"

Now human had free will. How can you truly love someone without free will? God wanted to love and to be loved by His creation. They needed a choice: One tree in the garden was forbidden: the tree of knowlege.

God said if they ate from it they would surely die.

Lucifer - a fallen angel(another story for another time) in the shape of a snake created lust and confusion in the humans mind by laying to them: "Surely, you will not die! You will become like God!"

We know the story: They ate the fruit, were disobidient to God and He could no longer have them in the garden of Eden. They made a choice to depart from God and His will and now it would no longer be possible for them to have the relationship with God that He wanted - that He had made them for.

God who had given them life had to turn away from them, sin came in and sickness, decise and death came with it.

(They had to start working the earth for food - around 10.000 years ago in the middle-east).

Second...

I love the Cronicles of Narnia! C.S. Lewis telles the story so well:

The wintercold surrounds the land - the law sad that someone had to die for the sin(rebellion, betraial, disobidiense...so on..) Edmunds blood was demanded by the whitewitch.

Then the Lion, Aslan - the son of the King on the other side of the sea - comes and gives his own blood in Edmunds place. The whitewitch rejoices - finaly her enimy is dead! But she did not now of the other law: "He who gives his life for another, being without guilt himself can not be held back by death."

So Aslan awakes and concurs the whitewitch and all of her armies.

The rightiusness of God are both these laws...

Sin needs blood. The humans were thought to sacrefice a lamb, the blood covered for them for a while, then they had to secrefice another one.........Until the ultimate Sacrificial Lamb came.. Jesus Christ chose - out of love for the humans and obidience and love for God His Father - to come to earth, show humans how God saw them, treat them as God would: "Healing the sick and brokenhearted, resurecting the dead, teaching and providing, and at the end: dying on the cross for our sins, giving His blood as the perfect secrifice. (This blood did not just cover our sin like the blood for the normal lamb, but took it all away for ever!)"

"..and he who believes in Him shall have everlasting life."

"Surely He has boren our griefs and carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed Him as stricken, smitten by God and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;

the chastisment for our peace was upon Him.

And by His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5

Third....finaly:

So... First - created in the image and likeness of God, He said human was "more then good", made to rule and take care of everything on the earth.

Second - Then sin came. What did He do? Came up with a solution!! The blood of Jesus Christ!!

- that means forgiveness and grace for everyone who believes and turnes to Him <3

Finaly, what I wanted to share with you on this beautiful sunny day:

How God sees you as a human:

* Psalm 139 says: God know you, and everyone of the days of your life befor they had even begun. He knows your every thought, longing and desier. He tied you togheter in your mothers womb! You are a masterpice!! A work of art!!

* The Song of Songs says YOU are beautiful, with no flaw, and His most beloved!!

* The Prophet Sefania sais that God rejoices over you with dancing, in His love He will give you rest.

* "I know what thoughts I think of YOU, sais the Lord. Thoughts of future and hope, not of anything bad!"

Okay, if you have accepted the Sacrifice of Jesus - His blood for your sins - then God sees you through Jesus Christ!!

* Rightious, without sin

* Loving and good

* Obidiente and humble

....so on...........

- and He provided for it all for us though we did not deserve it nor exept it -

So a Christians lifelong goal is to become more and more like Jesus Himself.. How??

Learning from what we see Him doing :) Doing what He did to the people around us...

But as Paul sais: "What I want to do I tend not to do, and what I don´t want to do I tend to do.."

Our flesh (selfisness, disobidience...so on...) does not want to do the things that Jesus did..(it hurts the ego.... :P ) That´s why God gave us the power of The Word (the Bible - every spoken word matters so careful what you say ;) - remember God created the world by speaking and we are created in His likeness... -

The power of Holy Spirit for guidence, support and comfort in hardship and much more.

The power of the blood of Jesus that helps us if we fall short :)

God is GOOD!!!

Look at all He has done for us!!!

To think that we matter to Him, the human in the whole marveles universe!!!

He sees us and loves us <3

May your Easter be blessed and may the love and grace of God be showen unto you that you may have life in Him :) :) :)

<3 <3 <3

(Please excuse my language..it´s not always easy finding the right words in English and spelling them correctly then the spellingprogram is not working....)

We all need food!

There are three ecential things in life that we all need in order to survive, (phisicaly):

Air

Wather

Food

To a human spirit theese three are:

Gods precence

The Holy Spirit

The Word of God (Jesus, see John 1.1->)

This week has been filled with them all!

And God is good!!

In His mercy and grace He has once again turned His face to me telling me how much He loves me!! How much He wants me to see all He has prepaired for those who love Him.

I want YOU to KNOW that YOU ARE LOVED for who YOU ARE by the One Who Created YOU, the One who sow YOU and knew YOU allready when YOU were in your mothers womb.

More then anything HE WANTS YOU to KNOW HIS LOVE FOR YOU!!

He wants YOU to know that He loves you so much there´s no messure with enough room for all the love He has just for YOU!!

You may know me, you may not... I want you to know that I don´t believe something easely..I´ve had my chears of fights on weither to believe or not.. Ask me why I believe and what!! I´d love to answer, take time to sit down with you and let you know how He loves you and how He became my everything.

"For God so loved the you that He gave His Only Son, that you if you believe in Him should not parrish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son to condemn you, but that you may be saved through Him." John 3:16-17

"Eli, Eli, lamá sabaktáni?"

The thing about walking by faith and not by sight is that even when I feel all alone I have to remember that He is always there!

When I gett caught up in my own ways -not alowing Him to guide me in doing what´s best; I need to remember that He keeps waiting -with open arms saying: "When ever you´re ready...?" Waiting so patiantly for me to realize that I´m making a mess.

I say: "God? Why have you left me? Do You not care?"

-deep down I know You are there! Waiting for me to say the word..Waiting for me to alowe You back to where You belong: IN CHARGE!

Three words are on my lips -they will always be; I NEED YOU!

Help me do what You call me to do!

They say I´m brainwashed - then where does the dubt come from?

They say I´m selfrightius - then they obiusly do not know me.

They say I make myself more stupid then I really am - do they even have a clue how it feels to know enough to get good grades and know even more that this knowlage is nothing but junk?

I see my dubts everyday - knowingly brainwashed to beleiving truth dosen´t seam to bad.

I see my mistakes maybe more clear then anyone - I know that I need Jesus´rightiusness!

I see my stupidness too: I know much about what God sais about life, me and victory in Christ - do I live by it?

Most everywhere I go people say hatefull negative stuff about Christians - about me!

Yes, it hurts...Yes, it makes me question my belifes, my life and my God...

But mostly it makes me question me. What´s wrong with me since they don´t see You in me God? What´s wrong when they can´t see Your love for them but only judgement and selfrightiusness?

I need You to show me! I need You to guid me! I need You to hold me when I get confused!

Someone wrote: "When the people unrightfully accuse me I know I´m doing my job. When people get saved around me I know that The Holy Spirit is doing His."

Cross roads....

Once again I face the difficulty of a choice:

Cross roads

Do I walk by faith:

following my dreams and the awesome plans that God has prepared for me?

Or do I continue on this rocky road till it ends?

I know all too well where it ends...

But can I let go? Can I give up this lie that tells me again and again that this is how it should be?

Can I find my way back to the security of the Truth?

Confessions of a broken heart...

My life is not what is should be...

I am not where or how I should be.

In fact I can´t really think of someone or

something I hate more then my self right now...

Everywhere I go people think of me as a Christian,

but I can´t call my self a Christian the way things

are in my life now.. There´s so much I know God

would not approve of.....

For those of you who read this remember always:

People are only people!! If a Christian does something

that goes against what Jesus would have done,

remember that!!

We have a roll-model, a perfect One!!

And so we have a really long way to go....

We will never be done...Only the day we see Him

face to face, then His perfection will be mirrored in us!

Weither I´ll be there to see Him, I don´t know right now...

The path I´ve made for my self is so dark I can´t really see

anything now........

I need to do something about it...

With God all things are possible for those who believe!!

Stay safe and strong in Jesus, God bless!!

A look in a glass-mirror..

I take a look in the mirror.

Quickly I look away...

Cause what I see makes me so ashamed.

Friends look at me and say:

Don´t look away!

You are beautiful!

But what do they know.

They can´t see what I see.

What´s behind it all...

Thoughts and comments that embarrasses me to think about.

Mistakes and flaws I just can´t leave behind.

Hate, lust, loneliness, longing....Needs..

I don´t want to admit that I have them...

I don´t want to admit that all I see in the reflection

is a corrupted image of evil...

A longing to get away.

A need to be free...

..from this evil that enslaves me in bondage of self-hate.

You tell me to look at You......

You will be my Redeemer.

You will free me from this captivity.

"Have a look into the written mirror!

See your self the way I see you!

Trust Me to make you pure again!"

The mirror of love..

The mirror of faith..

The mirror of grace..

"Have a look into My heart...

I´ll show you My love for you through it all...

Sunsets, roaring waves, calming wind, a hug, an unexpected gesture.

With friends like Ana & Mia....

A letter came in the mail one day... She picked it up, opened it and started reading:

Letter from Ana & Mia.

We will be your bestfriends!

We will go with you through everything...

But we expect you to do what we tell you:

Look at the models, their perfect bodies, leges, arms, belly, face...

They are beautyful!! Nothing like you... We´ll helpe you get there!

Do not trust anyone exept us..They will be jealluse and only take us away from you so we can not help you anymore!

When you fail in doing what we tell you to do we will punish you:

Force you to the bathroom to vomit everything you just ate, cut your body to see the blood flow, hit your head to the wall until you get a trembling headake, or take laxatives until you sit on the toilet all through the night...

When you look in the mirror, when you look at people around you we will remind you why we want to help you: you need us, we will make you perfect just like the models, superstars and acterers you look at in magazines and at tv..

The letter kept going...Through it all she read and wept....she recognized so much from her own life! Words that Ana and Mia were saying, that they had been telling her all through her life through media, classmates, even comments made by people close to her...... They truely had been there all the way.. But was this a good thing??

They questioned her friends, everything about her...

"Well, true: friends should always tell the truth! True friends want to help you grow and sucseed.."

With friends lik Ana and Mia, who needs enemys?????

Friends should lift you up in your weekness. They should want the very best for you and your life!! They should never ever punish you, but tell the truth and help you when they see you in pain.... Not cover it with more pain and torture!!

God let us be real friends towards one another and not anything like Ana and Mia!! Help us to build each other and not pull each other down!!

Help us stand together to fight against the lies that are spread through Ana and Mia!!

Help us want nothing but the best for each other, teach us to know what it is!!

This is far from the best thing I´ve written, but something NEEDS to be said against those lies being told by the devil through Ana and Mia!!! May God help us stand against the lie and reveal it for what it is!!! Let´s stand together and pick it apart til nothing but the truth is left standing!!! Let the word of God be lifted high for healing and freedom for the captives through all contries!!

I found a diamond!

I am rich!
-Flying freely I run down to the waterside.
Ice, broken into large flakes, I thought: "Who can lift thees?"
Continuing over the bridge, running, jumping to the top of the island..
The sun shining, the waves roaring softly.
The only big noice was the singing of thousand of birds gathering on the big iceflakes out on sea.
I sow a family of ducks out there too.
A bush of thorns reminded me of today, Eastertime is here now.. A sacrefice made a long time ago cleansing all my sin away!
My heart was singing and my lips followed along.
"Holy, holy, holy, You are Lord!
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy!"
Something was shining, twinkling so bright: "A diamond -on the bush of thorns.."
When I touched it, it became two, one on the branch and one on my fingertip.
Awesome God! You move the waves, through theier power I see Your awesome streanght! Through the beauty of the sun, sea and nature I can see a bit of You..
And through my beautyful diamand: a raindrop, shining, reminding me of how rich I truly am!!
Walking away in awe of who You are, what You've done, I see large flakes of ice being lifted and moved in a mighty way: the waves, just like everything in Your creation, showes more of Your mighty ways!

Talking to God

Walking all alone, tears on my chek.
The moon shining so clear, the stars was poping out one after the other.
The quiet filled the air, only brocken by the words from my mouth.
Sobbing out all my heartakes, puting words to all my fears, thoughts and longings.
Laying down all my own ways. Tears wash away the pain.
Screaming out, desperat to change my own selfish ways.
Asking questions that has filled up my mind, quietly You answer deep within my heart.
Looking around I desperatly long for more.. More then what I can see, hear, understand and feel..
I wish this night would never end!
The trees at my left side, I know You can see them. You made them. You were there the day they were planted, You've seen it grow all the way till now!
"Oh, how much easyer it would be to be a tree! What more do You expect from me?"
"Just like it started out as a tiny seed, you started out as a baby girl.. I have watched you grow. You're still growing.. I expect you to keep on growing, in love, patience, streanght, faith and responsabillity. Just grow..like the tree.... Trust Me more day by day, allow your self to grow, trust Me to give you groth!"
Longing for something more, something else then what this world gives I looked around - desperation in my eyes and thoughts.
Looking for something I needed!
"Being with You is all that I want, away from all the messed up stuff in this world.. I know it would be selfish...but I wish to pray for Your comming to be soon.. You said: "When all the people have heard, then I will come back for you and you will be with me for ever."
I can not wait, God! What should I do?"
Everyone needs to know this hope that is in You, everyone has to hear!
They all need a chance to join in this hope, this eternity with You..
I prayed, I screamed out: "Please, don't wait, come back now.. Come back for me! Please!" I cryed better tears, then You filled my heart with this hope - this hope that everyone needs so desperatly. The future they would all missout on if You answered my plead this evening.
"Lord, save the people!
Lord, save the generatons!
Use me, Lord, to spread this hope..
Lord, You will save!!"

IT'S UP TO US

Last time I went to church something really blew my mind and I wanna tell you about it.



I had a really bissy day, work in the daycare fallowed by working out at the gym and swimming, to end it all I went to my churchs youthmeeting.

While swimming I started talking to God in my thoughts.. I've been wondering about something-

God says in His word that He loves us so much and He longs to spend time with us, to hear our voice and so on.. To me this one thing in particular has not made any sence, but it has been my great longing for a long time - to feel His loving touch. You know, like when a parent gives a hug to his or her child or just lovingly pat the child or something. If He longs so much for us and loves us so much, would it not be natural for Him to wanna touch or pat us in that way?

I told God I really wanted to Him to do that. It did not take long for me to decide that this would be totaly impossible since it is almost 2000years ago that Jesus was on earth in flesh and was able to phisicaly tuch someone....

At church though something happend- I was sitting in my seat and a friend comes over and starts pating my shoulders and right then it hits me:



WE ARE HIS BODY ON THIS EARTH, WHAT WE DO TO EACH OTHER WILL BE HIS WAY OF BEING ABLE TO TUCH, OR CARE FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND US.



-LET'S GIVE HIS LOVE TO PEOPLE-

Three words that matters a lot....

"I am here" - three short words that simply means the world given at the right time..
I wonder how I could be so blind not to see that those three words are the same as three other words..words that the anyone would think of as important: "I love you"
Someone once told me that love is spelled T-I-M-E..

If your day was crappy - I am here, I have time to make it better
If your past looks like shit - I am here, I have time to face it with you
If your future doesn't look so bright - I am here, I have time to help you find a new perspective

If your day was filled with sunshine and joy - I am here, I have time to cherish it with you
If your past has blessings hidden in your mind - I am here, I´ll be grateful with you
If your future is full of dreams and hopes - I´ll be by your side ´cause I wanna see them come to pass

Someone once told me that love is spelled T-I-M-E...

"I´am here if you need me...my time is yours if you want it!"

Together we´ll be strong like the three cord string.

Let the world se His love through us!

The "Daniels" through time..

Through last year I got teaching about the revivals and how the Gospel has spread from the time of Peter and Paul and the other apostles.. And about all the tribulation that followed they're stand for Jesus Christ, I recommend you all read about a few of them -notice all people make mistakes, but those who trust in God and are willing to stand up for Him will be a part of miracles and great adventures!!
Most people know of the awful stuff that happened to Christians in Colosseum in Rome, I'll mention some names of that truely were "Daniels" of theyer own time:

Martin Luther -> The reformation of the church or the start of the reformation. What he did was brave and he rusted God, he wanted the people to see what he had seen, that Christ gave the one and only needed sacrifice for the sins of all mankind! And wanted to show that the Pope exploited the people and cheated them of they're money, that the highest authority of the church is God and His word, the Bible, not the church.

This one story truly stuck to my heart:
Alexamenos fidelis..
Around the year 113ad. A carving was made in a school wall showing a boy, a fellow student, praying facing a crucified man with the head of a donkey, next to it was written: "Alexamenos sebete theon" - "Alexamenos worships God"
In the other room an other boy had carved: "Alexamenos fidelis" - "Alexamenos is faithful"
You see at that time in the Roman empire they had many gods and only having one would be seen as foolishness..

Antonius was a man who chose to leave everything, family, friends, career, riches cause he had found the precious "Perl" that the gospels talk about. Alone in the desert for weeks reading the Bible and praying, he wanted everything that God had for him. People at his time wanted wanted to be acknowledged for they're faith and good deeds, that people would come to them for everything, this is what he got.. He never had to ask for it, people came from different countries to hear him speak or only to see him. But Antonius him self wanted to be left alone with God and went future in to the desert.
Remember: Seek God! He is what matters.. Everything else follows AFTER Him!

Georg Muller -(read about him!) A lesson to learn from him is: If God wants you to do something He will provide everything necessary to do it, whether it might be health, contacts, people, money, what ever it is
-Trust God!

John Wesley - riding across the country, having 4-5 meetings at different places each day, sleeping 3-4 hours a night, writing books while riding from place to place, he did not waist any time!! :) Revivals fallowed him. People were changed for life, for the better(!)
His cry to God was: "Give me one more soul!"
One day riding his horse he got confused realizing he had not been hit with any stones or rotten eggs, he asked God: "am I falling away from the faith in You?" He went of his horse, knelled and prayed for God to show him where he had gone wrong. Immediately he was hit by a big stone thrown at him and he got to his feet and praised God that everything was as it should be :)

Ending this post I want to tell one last story: at the time when the first missionaries were sent to America by boat, a woman was sending away her last son. All the others had gone before him never to return - they died on the mission field. Knowing this a man says to her: "no wonder you are crying, you just lost your last son.." Her answer is one to take a great lesson from:

"I AM NOT CRYING BECAUSE I'VE LOST MY SONS, I AM CRYING BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE SONS TO SEND OUT.."


As a wise man once said:

"HE IS NO FOOL WHO GIVES UP WHAT HE CAN NOT KEEP TO GAIN WHAT HE CAN NOT LOOSE!"

Who will be the "Daniels" of our time??

It Does Not Matter

Does it matter if it's the day or the night?
Does it matter if I sleep or am awake?
Does it matter if it rains or the sun is shining clear?
Does it matter if I run or if I walk?
Does it matter if I smile or if the tears fall down my face?
Does it matter if you stay or if you leave?

It does not matter cause He is always here!
It does not matter cause He's plan for me is hope!
It does not matter cause He has given me new life!
It does not matter cause He has loved me through it all!
It does not matter cause He holds me to His heart!
It does not matter cause He's my strength when I am weak!
It does not matter cause He is God to the end of time!

You, the most beautyful of all the flowers!!

(first some words: in class a few days ago we were reading about the new biotechnology law, and I sow this edelweiss which did not look like the others...I picked it up and looked closely at it: it was really shining like I've never seen anything shine before and I started telling my self this story......)


Once up on a time there was a gardener who had the most beautiful garden.
One day he decided to make a field of nothing but Edelweiss. He planted the seed, one hundred of them. He made sure to give everyone of them all the care they needed; water, love, sun and warmth. He protected them from the stormy weather and just loved to come out and see how much they had grown.

Time went by and the flowers had grown long, glittering white, with the sun it self shining in the middle, and the leafs where beautiful in a strong green colour - the gardener said more then once:
"Truly, this is my masterpiece, the most beautiful creation of them all!"

But one of the flowers were not like the others... All the rest of the 'Weiss'-family gathered, but they shut out that one. "His not like us!" "Not good enough.." "It would be better both for us, the gardener and for him if the gardener would just pull him up.." "Yes, the gardener should just get rid of him!"
The one was standing a bit away, but he could hear every word.. "Maybe they are right.... I'm not like them.. I'm just in the way here, they don't want me..... If only the gardener would get rid of me then they would all be satisfied."
That poor flower.. His head fell further and further down to the grown by each day that went by.
One day the gardener came down to the 'Weiss', he stopped and asked them what was going on, how they're days had been and what they were talking about.
"Gardner, you have to see it, he is just not one of us! He does not fit in.." "He is different...weird!" "Now, hush everyone! You can't say stuff like that... The thing is, gardener...Well, just look at him...he's miserable! He would be better off if you would just pull him up with his roots." "Yeah! And if would be better for us and you too, gardener!!" "Hush(!!), I said you all should be quiet!" The gardener shock his head, looked with disappointment on his beautiful creation, before he turned away he said something that they were never to forget: "Can't anyone of you see that these words you call mercy and kindness brings nothing but pain and death(!) to this one?"

Bending down to the one, he softly touched his head and lifted it towards him: "Oh! You, the most beautiful of all the flowers!! Your white glitters like the stars at night, the sun in your middle shines like the sun at it's strongest point, the green on your leafs is so beautiful, no one like you can ever be found!!"

I need You MORE!!

I need You, Lord
More then I could ever say
You are my everything
All I’ll ever need

You, Lord, alone
I will worship You

All I am I owe to You
All I have is a gift from You

I need You MORE


Hear my heartbeat, Lord
Hear my hearts cry:
I need you. Lord
I need You more
So much more!!

AWESOME GOD

So Holy, so Righteous,
still willing to give it all for His creation!

I was reading the book of Hosea today,
after hearing a lot of good stuff about it.
It is about the prophet that God calls to
merry a prostitute.

God uses this picture:
God is a faithful and jealous husband,
Israel, His people are the unfaithful wife,
or the prostitute that does not stay with Him
even when He shoves His love for her time after time.

Almost the whole book is about how Israel is being
unfaithful with foreign gods, gods of created material.
How they offer sacrifices to them, worship them and so on.
It shoves Gods rightful anger,
and how He has to punish their wrongdoings.
But it also talks about and shoves
a God that is in terrible pain because because His beloved
turns away to something that will only bring them pain
and captivity.
11:8 - "How can I give you up Israel?"....
"My heart charns within Me. My compassion is awakened."

He talks about how He wants to find a solution,
He does not want to have to place any more rightful judgements
to punish their sins.
"For I am God and not man. The holy one amongst you.
I will not come in my anger." - 11:9
And He talks about His solution:
13:14 - "I will redeem you from the power of death.
I will free them from death.
Death, where is your punishment?
Death, where is your destruction?"
This takes about what Jesus Christ came to do several
hundred years later!! He took the punishment for the people
(also for us!!) and died in our place.
(And rose again so that we could live with Him in the eternity!!)

Here it talks about how He wants to bring His people back to Him:
14:5 - "I will rise them up from their fall,
I will love them from My heart,
for My anger has turned away from him."
Only because Jesus choose to take the punishment for us,
the rightful anger of God is no longer pointed towards us.

Before it ends with a hope that the people will turn back to God it sais:
"Repent, Israel, to the Lord, your God.
For you have fallen in your integrity.
Take words with you and repent to the Lord.
Tell Him: 'Forgive all integrity! Except us in Your goodness,
then we will sacrifice the fruit of our lips to You."

Isn't this just a really strong example of what an
AWESOME GOD have?

And He wants to call us His children!
As a good friend said yesterday:
"Wow! I am the daughter of GOD!!"

WoOw!!

"Too much,God...hahaha" :-)

Lately God has been doing a lot in my life. Things are changing more and more.... Walking around in town or at work, everywhere I go(!) This other day I just *had to* tell this guy about God on my way to a meeting. I got to pray for him before he left and I know God is working in his life. Yesterday I just *had to* ask a woman that I work with if I could pray for her ear, she had big pain in it and today she had an appointment with her doctor. This morning when I asked her how she was feeling she sad: "It's still there, but it is better."
Friday night I had a toothache and it really hurt, some friends and I prayed and in the morning the first thing I noticed was that there was no more pain! Praise God!!
Saturday morning I was supposed to meet some people at 6:15am, by mistake my alarm didn't go of and miraculously I woke up 6:05 - I meet them 2 minuets too late :)
This morning when I was supposed to get up and get ready for work, my alarm rang 4 or 5 times but I fell asleep again each time...again miraculously I woke up, this time 6:45 - which is half an hour before I have to go to my bus..
You know what?! I'm unable to go out of my house anymore.......where ever I go there is always a person that I pass that I really want to tell about God. (I mean like really want to - like burning inside of me..) Going home from work today I overheard a conversation. At first I was like: "Ah....a drunk person..." But then the burning started: "Noooo....wait! These guys needs God!!" Not knowing what to do I said to God: "This is too much God....You have to do something here, or else we have a problem!" By this I didn't mean that I didn't want the burning desire to tell people about God (I'd want SO much more of it!!), no, I meant with that desire I also needed boldness. Because although I do know there is no reason to be afraid of man or Satan and his army, I still need God to reveal it even more to my heart...
So my prayer will be:
"God, reveal Your power and Your love, more of who You are to my heart, Lord!!
Be in my life, let a flame burn in me, for You and for mankind!
Let me be a Jesus Freak to the nations of this world :)
Praised be Your holy name!
I thank You for Your love and mercy, Lord Jesus!
In Your name, Amen!"

A deam and a newspaper...

In a dream I saw some of my classmates from high school coming to visit me.
They were saying all kind of horrible tings about God and Christianity and I were just standing there thinking that I couldn't just let them say all of that without any response. But I were speechless.....and I prayed quietly.
Suddenly I felt a great joy growing in my heart and I couldn't keep away the smile that were spreading all over my face. I opened my mouth and started telling them that it in fact was all about Gods amazing love that we are saved. And that, yeah, hell is a reality(!), and that they have to choose for them self before this life is over. Telling them about Gods love a smile came to there faces...telling them about the choice they had to make you could see that they understood how serious it was.
When I woke up (I never read the newspaper!) I found the newspaper to go through it form beginning to end.
I found this article about Jew hatred.. It was a answer to an other article that said that Jews were evil and that the old testament in the Bible was just terrible - basically it had the same arguments for Jew hate as Hitler had when he destroyed so many people.. This article was about the fact that it's Christianity that has the resent history of being evil - crusades, killing people who won't convert to Christianity -I mean church history is filled with it. Hitler said him self to be a Christian when he killed all the Jews because (after what he said) they killed Jesus. By the way: Hitler was half Jewish him self.
God, I don't understand how such evil can come out of a religion that believes in a LOVING, MERCIFUL and JUST God? Actually a FATHER - THE Father!
(we need to pray that God lets the people of the world know the real Father and that Satan's lies will be crushed faster then a lightning goes over the sky...
People of the world NEED God, our Lord!)
I cried reading the end of the article....Satan has really don his job with destroying the reputation of Christianity. Thank God we have a good God who has all ready won full victory so we can start all over again showing mankind who God really is, the Creator and Father of all creation!!
May all creation from trees,
waters and wind, to animals,
birds and humans praise the ever lasting God
for who He is and for His never ending love and mercy toward us!!
(by the way: Jews are Gods chosen people and He LOVES them, we are supposed to love them too like our Father does)

Changes for a life time...

Father, You lift me up.. You carry me high.
When I feel like I am in total darkness You are always there to shine Your light!
Thank You for the pure love that You show me through Your word, people and circumstances!
Your love is life changing and real.
I love to be loved by You!
4 ever Yours, the eagle-I trust Your love

Sunshine...even when the waves are roaring

On a boat trip yesterday I looked at the waves, they were really tall at times. And they never stopped coming. It reminded me of all the problems we can meet everyday, they might never seem to stop coming. They might make you feel sick, week or even hopeless.. And when they never stop coming you might just wanna give up.....
But I also felt the warmth of the sun burning on my back all the time and it reminded me that no matter how tall the waves get or how often they keep coming God is always there with His love and He gives strength to get trough. Sometimes when the waves are roaring you might not see the Sun but still if it weren't there at all it would be so much worse.. And as always the Sun has to come out from the clouds. Then God show Him self and reminds you that He really is there and care. Even tough the problems might not stop coming you can feel and see that He really is there and gives you strength in the middle of the storm.
Thank You, Jesus!

Soldier! Stand up and fight!

"Are you just gonna sit there and watch while the whole world goes to hell?"
These words were the first I heard when I got to the movie theater tonight. They got stuck in my head through the whole movie. Walking home from the bus I got to think about a song called "Stand" written by Rebecca St. James(my favourite singer) and Reggie Hamm. It says that there's a time for everything and that I (or we who believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior) has to stand up and tell the world about the hope in Him. That we can't be silent while everyone around us quietly goes to hell without even knowing about it. We have the answer, the solution, the ONLY ONE who can give them LIFE instead of eternal death in hell.
If you're not a Christian and you read this you might get seared, provoked or you might just laugh about it. But think about it: if you were sleeping in a burning house about to die, a friend sow you in the house said to him self "Oh no! His gonna die I have to help him, but what if...(something)" There are always a reason why a Christian shouldn't tell a friend that his going to hell...The friend might get angry and would never want to talk to you again and you don't wanna lose your friend, or..well the reasons are many!
BUT think about it!! Risk losing a friend here or losing a friend and watch him go to hell knowing that YOU could have done something about it...
Jesus Christ gave His life for everyone on this earth so they would NOT have to go to hell and pay the price for the lies, thefts, rapes and kills and all the other stuff that they have done wrong(me too, I've done a lot of stupid things..I'm not perfect, but God gave me a new start because of what Jesus did)
You might say "How could God love a rapist or a murderer and let Jesus take their punishment?" But we've all done stupid things and after our thoughts and way of thinking a murderer is worse then a lier but to God they're just as bad. He loves us and wants to be in a personal relationship with us, but we have to come to Jesus and let Him take our sin and give us a new start, a new chance. And from there He will help us and lead us to do what's right and turn to Him again when we make mistakes (it will happen even though we try not to, we will grow and as we learn to know Him we become more like Him-more perfect)
I'm gonna end this now..... It's a lot to think about here. Now what counts is to STAND UP and let the world know the truth about what they'll face in the end cause they might have everything they need here in this life, but what about eternity? They need to know!
So my last words will be:
SOLDIER! STAND UP AND FIGHT!
"GO OUT TO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO ALL OF THE CREATION" -the gospel, the good news that Jesus took our punishment and gave us life, we just have to except the gift of salvation.
Mark. 16:15-translation from Norwegian King James version of the Bible.
