Profetens roll

Why the Western Church is in Such Disarray

The modern church no longer embraces the Prophet's Role in confirming leadership. That is why so much of the church is in such disarray. Senior Leaders are put in place by people who look only at the external not at the heart.

The book of Acts confirms what Ephesians and Corinthians state doctrinally, that the Lord selects and specifically calls some men and women to be prophets. Prophets were important in the establishment of the church at Antioch, the first church recorded that was composed of both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 11:27). It was the prophet Agabus who foretold that there would be a severe famine in the Roman world during the reign of Claudius Caesar (Acts 11:28; this famine is documented in secular Roman history). Prophets were vital in getting the revelation from the Lord to set apart Paul and Barnabas and send them on their first missionary journey (Acts 13:1-4). The prophets Judas and Silas are specifically mentioned as exhorting and confirming the disciples in Antioch (Acts 15:32-KJV). It was Agabus the prophet who so graphically portrayed what would happen to Paul in Jerusalem (Acts 21:10 and 11). In fact, the only foretelling in Acts is given either by prophets or by the apostles Peter and Paul.

The book of Acts and the Church Epistles show clearly that the Lord still works through called prophets. They are not “just another believer because every Christian can prophesy,” as some have stated. Evangelists still exist in the Church even though every Christian can share his faith, there are still pastors even though every Christian can help people who are hurting, and there are still prophets in the Church even though every Christian can manifest prophecy. Prophets are charged with being spokesmen for God just as they were in the Old Testament, and today they speak also for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Once we understand that the ministry of a prophet is the Lord’s doing, and that they are very important to the health and wellbeing of the Church, we should be very interested in recognizing who they are and what we can do to help them in their job of being spokesmen so we can have the word of the Lord among us in a more powerful way. If we close our ears to the Prophets... we will fall into error. They are there for our protection. Hearing them is an option..one of which will lead into a ditch if they are not heard.

I krukmakarens hand

Den här berättelsen kan nog många av oss känna igen oss i:

The Potter's Process

I have a little story that somewhat explains the process of being shaped and molded by the Potter's hands. Each of us is nothing more than a clay vessel cleansed of its impurities. God chooses unworthy and broken vessels of clay for His work.

"Pausing, the Potter picks up an abandoned and broken vessel of clay. His empathetic tears fall upon its sinful nature, baptizing it, washing away the years of neglect and abuse. His compassion melts the vessel, resurrecting a new pliable texture. His newfound love for it begins to knead out the lumpy, hard features of its coarse and worldly ways.



"Finally the clay sighs in relief as it is gently placed in the center of the Master's view. He ponders with great thought about what He will make of this re-born vessel. Suddenly, the clay experiences a troubling intrusion. Spinning the wooden wheel, the Master begins to form the clay into His heart's delight. 

As the clay feels the strong touch of the Master's hands, he also experiences the swirling of circumstances that he cannot control. Faster and faster, the Potter's wheel turns as He squeezes and shapes the clay, extending its faith and stature. Slowing the wheel, life's problems seem to cease. The Potter sits back and observes His renewed vessel. Noticing a few weaknesses in the vessel, He compresses the clay once again into a shapeless form. Whirling the wheel around even faster than before, causing confusion in the clay.


"As the Potter works the clay, it rises higher and higher. Each finger of the Potter's hand carves deep into the clay, creating deep paths of purpose and destiny. At last, the wheel comes to a halt and the Potter walks away. Standing all alone, the clay begins to cry out for the Master. To his surprise the Potter returns with a sharp, double-edge sword. "What could He possibly want to do with that?" stuttered the vessel. With one clean stroke of the sword of His Word, the clay vessel is freed from the wheel of calamity and confusion. Resting in the hands of its Master, the vessel experiences a great peace as he is handled delicately for a season.


"Having been placed in a small box, the vessel witnesses the closing of a door that only the Master can open. With great intensity a fire begins to breathe its fury all around the clay vessel. Sweating with fear, the vessel struggles to find faith in the midst of this seemingly cruel process. With every hour seeming like years, the vessel weeps every ounce of moisture from its being. Having no more strength of its own, the vessel begins to harden in the Refiner's fire. 


As the vessel sees a new glow from his Master's flaming eyes, the vessel recounts its purpose for being created. It recalls the promise of the Potter's return; the vessel begins to reflect. Yearning for deliverance, the smoking vessel cries out with a burning desire to serve His Creator. As the Potter begins to remove the vessel from the furnace, the vessel vows to serve the Master with every part of his being.


Still glowing with passion to tell others about the Potter, the vessel pleads to be used for the Master's glory. Instead, the Potter places the vessel on a cold shelf, knowing that he could scorch another with his heated passion to share his experience. The vessel laments over this chilling experience, waiting impatiently to be called into the service of his Master.

"With each new day the once fiery zeal of the vessel draws cold. Discovering the vessel is cool to the touch and cannot harm those who handle it, the Master takes him from the shelf. Knowing he is called to serve the Master, the vessel waits patiently for the anointed brush of the Potter. 

With each unique and personal stroke of the Master's brush, the vessel is gifted with a colorful destiny unlike any other. The vessel is complete, ready to be filled with the Master's glory. It is willing to be filled and emptied again and again, delivering hope to those who thirst for the Master's touch."


But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter; and all we are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8

Nationaldagsbön i Husby



Nationaldagsbön för Husby den 6 juni kl. 18.30 Husby Träff, Husby Centrum Edvard Griegsgången 16 Tel. 08-752 64 12


Sverigebönen (www.sverigebonen.se) är en nationell bönerörelse, med uppgift att informera och inspirera till förbön för landet och för den ort man bor på.
Ett fokus som vi har är bön på nationaldagen och de senaste åren har det varit registrerade bönemöten på omkring 150 platser i Sverige. I år siktar vi på bön på 200 orter den 6/6 och 2015 att det finns organiserad bön i alla 292 kommuner!

Vi vet att bön kan förändra en ort, stad och nation. Vårt land och vårt folk behöver komma närmare Gud, det kan ske genom bön för folk och land!

Den senaste tiden har vi sett våld och upplopp i Husby som också har spridits till fler förorter. Vi uppmanar till förbön för Husbys ungdomar och för de stora problem som sprids genom segregation och utanförskap i alla våra förortsområden.
Vi behöver alla samhällets resurser och politiska lösningar men framförallt vill vi tillsammans bära fram Husby inför Herren i bön!

men mitt folk, som är uppkallat efter mitt namn, ödmjukar sig och ber och söker mitt ansikte och omvänder sig från sina onda vägar, då vill jag höra det från himlen och förlåta deras synd och skaffa läkedom åt deras land.

Se upp för felaktig pliktkänsla

Dagens ord från Marsha Burns idag tar upp en sak som jag tror just vi som svenskar behöver se upp med eftersom det här med plikt nästan ligger i vår nationalkaraktär. Pliktkänsla kan absolut vara bra i många sammanhang, men om pliktkänslan tar Guds plats så är det lätt att gå in under andras, ibland felaktiga, förväntningar. Och andras, eller för den delen våra egna felaktiga förväntningar tror jag är ett av de större skälen till att vi inte vandrar i vår fulla potential i vår kallelse.  Guds välsignelse! Barnabas    


SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Set a watch for those who would put you under the burden of obligation.  I would have you be free to journey on with Me.  I call you to that place of freedom to be led by My Spirit to just do the next thing, without a sense of obligation or duty to fulfill the expectations of others.  Refuse to be a man-pleaser, says the Lord, but rather seek to serve Me with sincerity of heart.  

2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

En verklig Jesus-rörelse

A TRUE JESUS MOVEMENT

by Gary Wilkerson | May 27, 2013
"What hurting man, woman or child wouldn’t run to a place where lifelong troubles are answered by God, where deep, miraculous healing takes place? That is truly a “Jesus Movement.” And it does not happen by plans, ingenuity or organized events; it happens when God shows up. Wherever His glory manifests, whether through faithful preaching or a simple testimony, people will run to taste it.

The people “ran together to them” (Acts 3:11). There is great significance in this word “together.” These people were not scrambling to get past one another. They went as one, each humbled by the majestic power of God’s presence."

Genom min Ande, säger Herren

By My Spirit, Says the Lord
By Ron McGatlin

My personal belief is that spring and summer of 2013 will be known and remembered by many as their season of spiritual transformation. Many of God’s people are being transformed from what they have been to where they are going next. 

It is not possible for us to be transformed by our self-efforts. The outpouring of the Spirit is the grace empowerment of God within us changing us from our own nature and our own life into the nature and life of Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit within us. His righteousness, His peace, and His joy consume our hearts and lives. His spiritual fire ignites in our hearts and flows out in radical passionate love for God and for one another.
Zech 4:6: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts. 

From religious striving and pumped up motivational preaching in the power of the soul, we are being transformed into the pure and holy grace of the Spirit of God flowing pure love and impartation of the life of Christ Jesus to one another. What man could not do and what religion cannot do, the grace of God has done and is doing.
Grace is Christ Jesus in us by the Holy Spirit influencing or impacting our hearts with great favor, reflecting into our lives and out to the world around us.

Many of the people of God have longed for the PURE REAL move of God around them. Many have been separated from the world and from the religious systems of the world. They have lived somewhat dormant in a wilderness in much aloneness. This has been a season of coming to know that we can be made pure and survive with only the presence of God without the encouragement of others. While we longed for a pure move of God without the hands of man in charge, God has been preparing us for the time that I believe is at hand. 

Now in this day God is pouring out His Spirit in groups of pure hearted believers in spots across the world. One of those spots is here in Mt. Airy, NC. In the sense of coming out of dormancy and wilderness and connecting with pure-hearted people of God there is revival, back from the place of survival through revival into the FRESH pouring out of the FIRE of the SPIRIT of God in great joy consuming our hearts and lives with His love in His presence.
Truly our lives are being transformed, and we cannot go back to how we were in the past - not even how we were last month. Even day by day and week by week, there is change within and among the people as God transforms our lives into His life. We are undone and consumed. Old lives are passing away and pure holy life of Christ is becoming our life as we only love and wait upon God to move with his biding in our lives.
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Phil 2:13b

A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them. And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. Eze 36: 26-28
In His presence,

Kom till ro och lyssna

May 20, 2013. Now is not the time to communicate. You can't get yourself quieted down enough to hear Me. There are so many voices vying for your attention it is hard to hear My voice. It's all right, precious one. When you get yourself settled down enough to hear only Me, I will still be right here. I am not going anywhere. When Jesus was finishing His work on earth and the veil was rent, He enabled you to come to Me anytime. Now slow down and get your spirit in tune with Me.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13 (NASB) "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, [1]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words."

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

 I have given you the right of passage through these dire straits and difficult ways.  I will show you the way through every situation with precision and extraordinary discernment and insight.  These are days to keep your mouth shut and learn to look and listen so that you can see and hear spiritually, says the Lord.  Trust Me to lead you to safety. 

Psalms 12:5 "For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns."

Två starka, profetiska texter


Dessa båda texter sätter väldigt starkt ord på det jag själv upplever Herren talar om och mycket mer! Jag ber och hoppas du tar dig tid att läsa detta för jag tror du kommer att bli välsignad. /Barnabas

   2013 Word of the Lord (Arise and Cross Over) (Part 1)

Jo Ellen Stevens

This is the year 5773 In the Hebrew Calendar which has a few meanings, but one of the meanings is “To cross over”. This is the year that God's people that have been prepared as by fire by trial and have learned to walk in love toward their fellow man will rise up into the fullness of their destiny to crossover from the warfare of the past
(doing warfare as in the past season) and come into the alignment and positioning into the earth for the harvest. This is the year for the Manifest sons to arise from the frustration and prostration in which circumstances have kept them.

This is a time for us to push past our comfort zones, our fears, our frustrations, your past, and your insecurities!! Come out of the complacency where hopelessness has set in because of what seems to have been delay to you and begin to take our place in whatever God has been preparing us for! God says “This has not been delay but a time of preparation of those that are about to train the harvesters for the greatest harvest the world has ever seen.”

Some of you have settled in your hearts that you will lay back and retire because of age or hurt or circumstances but all of this has gotten you to a place of dependency on God alone and that has been His plan all along!! This last season has brought us into being more like Jesus. Rom 8:29 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." Literally, He planned that you would become more like Him if it has to kill you to do it! I am not talking about death in the literal sense here but death to your flesh so that He might increase in you!!

           Crossing Over Pt.2 "FAVOR FOR MY FAITHFUL" IN 2013

Jo Ellen Stevens

 I have been hearing the words "Favor For the Faithful" for the New Year.  I know also that jealousies will arise, but God is placing great favor upon His people in this hour!! God is saying, "You have been faithful to me through much pressure and pain and many trials and now I will arise and Favor the Faithful!!" 


Many have not seen the things that you have been through. You suffered alone and quietly but God is about to reward you openly! I am telling you do not give up right now!!  It is the set time to favor Zion and many doors are opening. I had a vision of a huge long hallway and it had many closed doors in the beginning.The Lord then said that the hallway was called "transition" I then saw the doors begin to swing in and out and the Lord said that many had been in the hall of transition,but now the doors were opening up for his people to go through and there had not been much going on in the hall, but that there would be so many doors being opened that we would have to know which ones to go through. He said that there will be a lot going on behind these doors and we would go from seeming like we were standing still to being thrust into our destiny very quickly!

Samuel utsåg kungen ... eller gjorde han?



Den senaste tiden har man kunnat läsa om nya ledare som utsetts i viktiga funktioner. Jag vet inte hur dessa processer har gått till, men jag blir lite illa till mods när jag läser artiklarna. Man får intrycket att det är mycket diskussioner och åsikter.  Men hur utser Gud ledare i Bibeln? 
Idag läste jag nedanstående på Gene - a prophets blogg och jag tyckte det var så bra att jag översatte det.
Här kan du läsa originaltexten:

Guds välsignelse! Barnabas   
.....................................................................................................
Samuel utsåg kungen ... eller gjorde han?
postat av Gene  
 
Historien om hur Samuel utsåg Israels kung från Isais söner är lärorikt.
1 Samuelsboken 16:1-13

Gud hade en man som skulle leda Israel. En som upplevt mycket, som var förberedd i det fördolda, en som hade haft ett möte med den sanne och levande Guden. Det var han som, förbisedd av Samuels kött, Gud valde. Om du läser berättelsen noga ser du att Samuel ville smörja andra som såg bättre ut, hade bättre meriter, hade ledarskapsförmåga. Han ville heller inte göra det, för han var säker på att Saul skulle döda honom. Men i allt var det Guds Ande i Samuel som drev honom. Detta är och har alltid varit Guds plan.

Profeter utses av Gud för att identifiera och smörja till tjänst den som Gud har valt att leda sitt folk.

Så gör vi inte längre.

Apostlarna utser och smörjer sig själva. Eller så hittar de en annan vänlig apostel som kan lägga händerna på dem.

I vissa samfundskyrkor väljs ledare genom en valberedning. Jag har varit en del av detta. Det är inte Guds väg. Gud arbetade aldrig genom kommittéer. Kött kan inte åstadkomma vad Gud förordnar. Kött kan bara erkänna vad Gud redan har gjort, om det kan lägga åt sidan sitt köttsliga inflytande precis som Samuel fick göra. Bön är inte tillräckligt. Samuel bad inte, han hörde.

De sanna ledarna/kungarna som ska leda väljs av Gud allena. Du kan inte hitta Guds ledare genom att läsa deras meritförteckning.

Ismael är oftast resultatet.

Jag kommer inte att nämna några namn, men det finns flera Gudsmän och Gudskvinnor som Gud genom åren har sänt mig att smörja profetiskt för tjänst i Guds rike. Jag var med en sådan förra helgen. För många år sedan berättade Gud för mig hur han skulle användas. Vilken plats han har i Guds rike. Precis som med David den dagen, så när den profetiska smörjelsen fanns på plats, så rörde sig Guds Ande mäktigare över honom.
1 Samuelsboken 16:13

Vi måste komma tillbaka till att Guds sanna profeter smörjer sanna ledare i Kristi kropp eller så kommer vi att fortsätta att vackla från kris till kris pga falskt ledarskap. När människor försöker "anställa” en ledare, slutar det oftast med en ”Saul”.

Det kommer naturligtvis att kräva sanna profeter .... men det är en annan historia."

1 Sam.16:1-13

David smörjs till kung

1 HERREN sade till Samuel: "Hur länge tänker du sörja över Saul? Jag har ju förkastat honom, så att han inte kan vara kung över Israel. Fyll ditt horn med olja och ge dig av. Jag skall sända dig till betlehemiten Isai, ty en av hans söner har jag utsett åt mig till kung." 2 Samuel svarade: "Hur skall jag kunna gå dit? Om Saul får höra det, dödar han mig." HERREN svarade: "Tag med dig en kviga och säg: Jag har kommit för att offra åt HERREN. 3 Sedan skall du inbjuda Isai till offret, och jag skall då låta dig veta vad du skall göra, så att du åt mig smörjer den jag visar dig."
4 Samuel gjorde som HERREN sade och kom till Betlehem. Men de äldste i staden blev förskräckta när de mötte honom och frågade: "Kommer du med frid?" 5 Han svarade: "Ja, med frid. Jag har kommit för att offra åt HERREN. Helga er och kom med mig till offret." Och han helgade Isai och hans söner och inbjöd dem till offret.
6 När de kom dit och han fick se Eliab, tänkte han: "Det är säkert HERRENS smorde, som står här inför HERREN." 7 Men HERREN sade till Samuel: "Se inte på hans utseende och på hans resliga gestalt, ty jag har förkastat honom. Ty det går inte efter vad en människa ser. En människa ser det som är för ögonen, men HERREN ser till hjärtat." 8 Då kallade Isai på Abinadab och lät honom gå fram inför Samuel. Men Samuel sade: "Inte heller honom har HERREN utvalt." 9 Då lät Isai sin son Samma gå fram. Men Samuel sade: "Inte heller honom har HERREN utvalt." 10 På detta sätt lät Isai sju av sina söner gå fram inför Samuel. Men Samuel sade till Isai: "HERREN har inte utvalt någon av dessa." 11 Och han frågade honom: "Är detta alla pojkar du har?" Han svarade: "Det fattas en, den yngste, och han vaktar fåren." Då sade Samuel till Isai: "Sänd bud och hämta hit honom, för vi sätter oss inte till bords förrän han kommer hit." 12 Isai sände då bud och hämtade David. Han var rödkindad, hade vackra ögon och såg bra ut. "Stå upp och smörj honom", sade HERREN, "ty han är det." 13 Då tog Samuel sitt oljehorn och smorde honom mitt ibland hans bröder. Och HERRENS Ande kom över David från den dagen och framöver. Sedan steg Samuel upp och gick till Rama.

Fresh Winds of Kingdom Revival Fire

Fresh Winds of Kingdom Revival Fire

By Ron McGatlin


A fresh spiritual wind is like the fresh winds of changing seasons in the natural; you can sense it before is arrives. There is a fresh scent and feeling in the air. A hard to explain tinge of inner excitement deep within stirs a deep longing – a sleeping hunger in the spirit begins to awaken the soul. Can it be? Can it really happen? Here, now, to me, in our town?

The hope of real revival is ARISING -
Can you feel it? Tears fill my eyes just now as I write of the stirring of the Spirit in my own heart. – Can these dry bones live? Can these dry wells spring up again? Are the ancient foundations being uncovered? Can these destitute mountains of vanity become the dwelling place of the fire of God? Can the holy joy of the Lord ring forth from the mountaintops to the treacherous valleys of darkness? Is the golden liquid fire of God’s love and the white fire of His holiness beginning to pour down from the surging living fire of heaven that has now come near to the earth? Is the at-hand kingdom of God touching the mountains now?

I am overwhelmed; my human strength pours out as water, and I melt before the nearness of the roaring sound like a thousand jet engines at full power of the surging boiling clouds of fire of heaven that have come near to earth. The atmosphere upon the earth near the clouds of fire is charged as if electrified. Tongues of fire like swirling fingers drop down from the holy cloud to touch the earth igniting it with the fire of heaven and transforming all that it touches. People touched by the finger of God’s fire become flaming ministers of God igniting fires wherever they go.

Unlike any previous outpouring of God on earth, this shall last. This outpouring of the fire of God is bringing the real kingdom of God from heaven to the earth. The dead bleached bones, the stopped up dry wells, and the buried scorched foundations of past moves of God were all once alive with the fire of God. Eventually they all became unholy, man-centered works of dead religion. They were choked to death with organization and empty religious works.
The well-meaning people captive in religion gradually became hard-hearted, stony ground growing thistles. They could not hear and grow the seed of the word of the kingdom into fruition of the kingdom of heaven on earth (Mat 13:18-23). The gospel of the kingdom became a false word to them, buried deep under the mud of the pride of life and the lust of eyes. Ears grew dull of hearing and eyes became full of darkness (Mat 13:15).

Babylon, the glorious whore, was built into the lands of rich merchandisers preaching great swelling words of the wisdom of fallen man and doctrines of demons (1 Tim 4:1). Religious systems developed a man-centered gospel that lead millions into the deceitfulness of the riches of Babylon, believing they were rich and filled with knowledge and in need of nothing and not knowing they were wretched, poor, and naked of the reality of the Spirit of God (Rev 3:17). They became disqualified for the real kingdom of God lifestyle (1 Cor 9:27).

Real kingdom revival fire will bring an end to Babylon.
The roaring fire of God has come and will waste Babylon leaving only ashes. The trumpet of the Lord is urgently and loudly calling, “come out from her my people (Rev 18: 2-6) (Jer 51:49-50).”
Rev 18:4: And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
Mystery Babylon represents the religious and fallen world systems ruling in all facets of life. New Jerusalem the great Bride city from heaven represents the kingdom of God on earth from heaven.

Beauty for Ashes
God will raise up a people of Jesus – those in whom Christ dwells by the Spirit of the Lord to repair the old ruins and heal the people of captivity (Isa 58:12).
Isa 61:1-4: "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.
Kingdom revival will last.

Past revivals and outpourings did not last, because they did not produce the kingdom of God. They were primarily about getting people saved and in church so they could become disciples to get more people saved. The church-age church systems for the most part had little or no vision beyond getting people saved to go to heaven when they died. Some did also have benevolent works of helping the poor.

In more recent outpourings the Spirit of God moved to heal and deliver as well as initial salvation. This was and is a movement toward kingdom but is yet short of the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom as Jesus and the first century disciples brought it. They spoke of great tribulation and the cleansing of the earth making preparation for the coming of a fullness of the kingdom of God coming to earth producing a heavenly Jerusalem - a New Jerusalem lifestyle – the rule of God on earth with His people as it is in heaven.

This great kingdom revival will do more than get people to heaven when they die. It will move beyond miracles of healing and deliverance for the people. It will not be focused on church growth or church buildings. The great kingdom revival awakening will focus on changing the city and the nations. It will change the culture from Babylonian style living to kingdom of God, New Jerusalem style living.

Kingdom Revival will not be centralized.
Past revivals became centralized geographically, or according to sectarian views or structure. Different streams flowed in the most recent outpourings. However, it did not flow across the culture. At best some sub-cultures were present. This in part is because of the church system connection to the revivals. A spontaneous move of God would soon become an independent stream or group of systemized churches or a denomination which tended to confine the stream within the river banks of that group.

The Holy Spirit did begin to jump boundaries in the most recent revivals and outpourings. However, it never really became full-grown kingdom revival because it remained tied to the systemized church and separated from the rest of life. Culture including family and work life, business, media, education, government, and more were NOT equally engulfed in the Spirit of revival fire. God’s plan all along has been to return all things under the one King Christ Jesus.

True kingdom revival will be at ground level with underground roots and will spread everywhere across all of life. It will not be tied to church systems or to leadership personalities nor any centralized concentration of headship other than Christ Jesus. Kingdom revival headquarters will be in heaven. The centrality of kingdom revival is Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit flowing through multitudes of brethren all at one level as brethren with Christ Jesus and consumed in the holy fire of revival. There will be no opportunity for famous leaders to become rich by merchandising the revival.
No opposing religion or secular government forces can destroy it, because it is everywhere at one time with its roots hidden from view in the underground of the spiritual realm. It will arise like grass in a field covering the landscape of life on earth.

Though I see this coming in the Spirit now, I have no idea how long it will take to come to full completion. It could be months, years, decades, or centuries, but it has begun and is coming to pass. The kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God.

Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

Ljudet av silvertrumpeter


I september 2011 var Werner och Regula Woiwode från Abraham ministries, Schweiz, i Skara domkyrka och blåste i silvertrumpeter i samband med en bönesamling för Sverige. Nedan har jag översatt en text från deras hemsida där du kan läsa bakgrunden till varför de kom och vad denna trumpetsignal innebär. Efter texten kommer ett referat av deras besök. 

Sommaren 2012 kom de tillbaka och den här gången hade de ett stort team med sig. De kände Herrens maning att komma hit och be för vårt land och vi var ett antal bedjare som kopplade samman med dem. Det blev en stark bön! 

Det har gått ut en mycket allvarlig larmsignal för Sverige och svensk kristenhet och som sagt, nedan kan du läsa vad det innebär konkret. 

Längst ned kan du läsa hur de nu har slutfört det uppdrag de fått av Herren att blåsa i silvertrumpeterna i Europas alla länder och hur Herren nu utvidgat deras uppdrag till att gälla varje kontinent på vår jord.

Guds välsignelse! Barnabas 

                                  -----------------------------------------------------------



Blås i trumpeterna!
 
Gud älskar trumpeter! För några år sedan hörde jag denna proklamation i en predikan av Colin Urquhart.

Jag råkar vara en som tror på det. Han utmanade sitt folk att göra trumpeter och gav också tydliga instruktioner kring när och hur de skulle blåsas. De är mycket viktiga instrument, som vi regelbundet möter genom hela Bibeln, från fjärde Mosebok till Uppenbarelseboken, där änglarna kommer att blåsa i trumpeterna för att förebåda olika domar.

Jesus talade för över två tusen år sedan att  olyckor, skakningar och katastrofer skulle komma så till den grad att ingen skulle kunna föreställa sig det. Naturligtvis har det alltid förekommit krig och fruktansvärda naturkatastrofer. Men aldrig i sådana enorma proportioner, utan uppehåll, och som omfattar så stora områden eller  till och med hela världen själv. Och allt påverkas. Himlen, (askmoln från Island), jorden (jordbävningen i Haiti), havet (oljeförorening av Amerikas kuster i Mexikanska golfen).

 

Var är Gud i allt detta? Vad gör Han?

Han ger instruktioner och människor som hör honom är lydiga och genomför dem. Så är det med att blåsa i trumpeterna. Gud själv har talat, instruerat och auktoriserat. Det (nuvarande) tillståndet i världen, bland  människor och framför allt i hans kyrka lämnar honom inte oberörd.  Hans ord till oss i Abraham ministries är:


" Gör dig två silvertrumpeter, i hamrat arbete skall du göra dem. Du skall använda dem när menigheten skall sammankallas och när lägren skall bryta upp" (4 Mos 10:2 Folkbibeln)


För några år sedan gav en broder i Herren mig två trumpeter. Han berättade att tiden skulle komma då jag måste blåsa i dem. För två år sedan, i slutet av Europeiska bönemötet/konferensen deklarerade en av ledarna att det nu är dags att blåsa i trumpeterna i alla europeiska länder! Mitt hjärta skakades och rördes djupt. Det behövdes dock ytterligare två år innan Gud gjorde klart för mig i en tid av bön och fasta att ovanstående vers var för mig personligen. Vi har fått uppdraget att gå in varje land i Europa och att blåsa i trumpeterna där.


Vad är skälet till detta? Det är en väckarklocka!


Genom att blåsa i trumpeterna ska kyrkan  väckas, för att bryta sig ur sin slummer och gå in i sin kallelse.

Vad är kyrkans kallelse eller uppgift?


Den första, viktigaste och djupaste kallelsen är:
"Du skall älska Herren, din Gud, av hela ditt hjärta ..."

Gud kallar oss:
"Omvänd er och kom tillbaka till Mig!"


Kanske vi tänker: "Ja, vi älskar Dig, vi är med dig"

Men här talar vi om Guds standard, inte den som vi har gjort upp för oss själva. Han vill föra oss tillbaka till vår första, passionerade brinnande kärlek. Tillbaka till den kärlek som bränner upp allting annat: rädsla, tvivel, svartsjuka, självcentrering.

Tillbaka till där denna kärlek övervinner allt annat; överlåtelse, seger över synden, förmåga att älska (min Frälsare, mina bröder och systrar, folket och till och med mina fiender).


En ytterligare aspekt av denna kallelse är:
"Vänd tillbaka till Guds ord!"

Han är Ordet. Vi kan inte skilja Honom från hans Ord. Vi kan inte påstå att vi älskar Honom och samtidigt inte bry oss om Hans ord. När vi verkligen vill och längtar efter Honom, så måste vi vilja ha, längta och törsta efter Hans ord. Det är vårt dagliga bröd, vår vägledning som visar oss vem Han verkligen är!


En tredje aspekt av vår kallelse är:
"Att vi blir medvetna om våra rötter, och inte bara accepterar dem, utan också älskar och värdesätter dem med en tacksam attityd."

Låt oss inte glömma att vi helt enkelt är den inympade grenen. Judarna - Israel, å andra sidan, är olivträdet. Därför är det min uppfattning att det viktigaste för Gud, just nu, är Hans uppmaning till kyrkan att återgå till sin ursprungliga kallelse. Det är en kallelse inåt, ett steg bort från nuvarande sätt att göra saker, ett återvändande till Honom.
Jesus frågade Petrus tre gånger:


"Älskar du mig?"


Det låter så lätt och enkelt, men vad det verkar så visar det Guds djupaste smärta. Hans kyrka är ofta frikopplad från Honom. Om och om igen gör den sin egen grej eller förblir sig själv nog och är tillfreds bakom skyddande murar. Vårt uppbrott mot världen runtomkring måste ske inifrån, utifrån vårt passionerade kärleksförhållande till Honom.

Det är dags att söka Gud som aldrig förr.

Medan världen mer och mer håller på att fläckas genom att synd, korruption och fördärv kommer att öka i stor skala (en bild av det är askan från Island eller det okontrollerbara flödet av olja utanför USA:s kust), så är Gud, å andra sidan, igång med att rena och helga sin Brud kyrkan genom att kalla den tillbaka in i en intim kärleksrelation.

”När ni i ert land drar ut till strid mot någon fiende som angriper er, skall ni blåsa larmsignal i trumpeterna. Då skall ni bli ihågkomna inför HERRENS, er Guds, ansikte, och bli räddade från era fiender."(4 Mos 10:9 Folkbibeln)

Det är krig och ingen av oss kan dra oss ur eller förbli neutrala. Och i krig är den absoluta lydnaden av kommandon från den militära ledaren av största vikt. Då är det inte längre en fråga om vad jag, min kyrka eller min tjänst vill, utan vad som är viktigt för Jesus och Hans rike.


Schweiz står inför svårigheter och umbäranden och pressas hårt och det nuvarande tillståndet i kyrkan ger oss inte mycket marginal för att motverka den. Jag har många gånger hört från Gud Hans kallelse genom polis-, ambulans- brandbilssirener tillsammans med ordet "akutläge eller akut situation!" Vi måste bli medvetna om den sanna naturen av den svåra situation vi är i. Låt oss vakna upp i detta avseende!

Räddningen, frälsningen är här. Befriaren har kommit, och kallar oss till sig själv för att räta upp, hela, återställa och helga. Så att vi i vår tur än en gång kan sändas ut. (För att göra arbetet vi är satta att göra).

Vi som Jesu Kristi kyrka är kallade att vara väktare för Israel och Europa!

Rapport från besök i Sverige:

"Blow the trumpets over Europe!“



Sweden

14 - 18 September 11








We left Kolding, in Denmark, by train and reached Frederikshavn, where we caught the ferry over to Gothenburg in Sweden. We were greeted there by Eva and Per Erik. I first met them last year at a European Prayer Meeting in Budapest, where I was able to blow the trumpets, and Eva chivied us to come to Sweden. Her reason to invite us was because she had had a vision two years previously which had to do with trumpets. A little while later she drove with a colleague from work to Krakau where she both saw and heard trumpets being blown from a church tower. As a result she was, so to say, well prepared for our visit.

We were invited to two meetings where representatives from the Lutheran Church and a number of intercessors from all over the country assembled together. What took place there was really quite remarkable. The intercessors had already met the day before the official Church services, to prepare themselves and to bring the whole action before God. It was a very, very strong time of worship, prayer, intercession, prophecy and prophetic acts. We experienced an exceptional time under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. 


The first church service was in Husaby. Christianity began there in Sweden through the baptism of their first Christian King Olaf. Part of the meeting took place in the church, which was full to capacity, with worship and intercession. Then we went to the baptismal place outside. There the lady vicar officially asked for forgiveness for all the false religiosity and control exercised by the church, i.e. baptism of children. The organisers purposed to set free previous sources of blessings, so that they would once more bubble up and flow. Finally Holy Communion was celebrated, at an altar, which was built out of stones from every region in Sweden (1000 years of Christianity). Back then representatives of 300 churches came together. 

It was overwhelming to see so many vicars together in their robes, waving banners and praising God. That afternoon we moved on to the cathedral in Skara. We were naturally further exhilarated that the authorities allowed us to blow the trumpets there after we had the opportunity to explain to all what lay behind this action. We are convinced that some of the hinderances which have caused previous sources of blessings to be blocked up have been removed.

Trumpet Call Prayer Ministry in Europe
We finished the trumpet wake-up call in January. Turkey was the nation number 50 and the last in Europe. Below you can read that the vision grows and we start to go to the continents... So the message spreads out in the German-speaking world. And now we produced also a new professional English version (sound the trumpet see below) to give it in international meetings to brothers and sisters.

It is important that people know that God is at work in Europe! We have some awesome testimonies as to what is happening in some nations after we blow the trumpets and prayed together with brothers and sisters from there. For example: In Greece (northern part), some ministries and local churches gave more than 100,000 Bibles to the people. In Spain, trough a nationwide evangelistic campaign, more then 10,000 people came to Christ!! In the Balkan nations, the prayer leaders come together. Also in the north and south region of Europe, God brought pastors and prayer leaders together, and I was a part of some awesome meetings. This is only a very quick report that God is doing his work on this continent in all the darkness. And this is just the beginning. Hope you will help to make it public as an encouragement for us all. 

Hallelujah! Praise and glory be to our great God. It is finished! And our hearts are full of wonderment and thankfulness. In March 2010 we had our first meeting in Basel, where we proclaimed God's message and blew the trumpets. On 27th January 2013, we did the same in Turkey. Between these two dates we have been able to travel to all 50 European countries to deposit God's Word and together with our brothers and sisters there blow the two trumpets. God gave us many wonderful moments of fellowship. And a good portion of protection! Also time and again, God provided for us through friends like you so that we were able to travel to all the nations either by car or plane, to carry out that which He had said that we should do. Please look on our website.  

Thank you, dear Father!

An now the task continues...
 
Blow the trumpets on all continents!
We have often been asked on our travels by different brothers and sisters: "What about the other countries? Shouldn't they also hear this message and the trumpets?"
We passed on these questions to God and believe we have received the following answer from Him: The trumpets should be blown on every continent, as before, with brothers and sisters from their respective countries. They should be blown in the north, south, east and west parts of each continent.
As we realised the implications of this new task, we were intrigued to see how the initiative is seamlessly continuing.

In Turkey we finished the first task for Europe! There, we have started this new initiative to the continents! The largest part of this country is part of Asia. It is the most western part of the Asian continent. And therefore, we blew the trumpets out from the west over the continent of Asia.  

Blow the trumpets in and from Switzerland over Europe and the whole world!
