Tillkomme ditt rike...

ICCC inbjuder till konferens:

"TILLKOMME DITT RIKE…
- Vår bön vårt hopp och uppdrag

Jesu dominerande undervisning handlar om Guds rike. Att leva i Guds rike är
att leva ett annorlunda liv, ofta på tvärs med gängse uppfattningar. Gudsrikeslivet kan tillämpas på livets alla områden, allt från individuellt plan till samhälleliga strukturer. Ett Gudsrikesliv innebär att leva i fas med Guds planer för
mig i de sammanhang jag är insatt i. När det sker blir livet rikt, fruktbärande
och meningsfullt! Guds karaktär blir påtaglig i det dagliga fysiska livet och kan
betjäna omgivningen.

Jesus ger många olika beskrivningar om Guds rike eller ”Himmelriket” som
det ibland också kallas. Vid ett tillfälle ges liknelsen om en surdeg: ”Himmelriket (Guds rike) är som en surdeg som en kvinna arbetar in i tre mått mjöl;
till slut blir alltsammans syrat”. På så vis kan även våra liv få betydelse i långt
större omfattning än vad vi själva representerar, när vi väljer att medverka till
att Guds rike bryter fram i vår tillvaro.

Alla som vill vara Jesu efterföljare har mer eller mindre djupgående erfarenheter av när Guds rike får utrymme. Vi vet också hur svårt det kan vara att
upptäcka de situationer där Riket kan släppas fram eller hållas emot, men ack
så avgörande. Ofta är det genom frustrationen i utmaningen som genombrott
och seger kommer. Desto viktigare att känna igen när tiden är nära, så att man
inte ger upp och missar hela syftet.

Därför inbjuder vi till en konferens på temat ”Tillkomme Ditt rike… - vår bön,
vårt hopp och uppdrag”

Målet med konferensen är att uppmuntra och utmana dig att se Herrens
väg med ditt liv, så att du förmår hålla kursen mot det Han berett för dig och
förberett dig för – att leva ett liv där Hans gåvor till dig får betjäna Hans planer
för dig och att du därigenom gång på gång får erfara att Guds rike blir manifesterat genom att leva för ditt syfte till föredöme för andra.
Vi vill därför välkomna dig till en helg av delaktighet och gemenskap – en konferens vi hoppas ska kännetecknas av:

• Profetisk analys och klarhet
• Uppenbarelse om Vad & Hur
• Hög delaktighet i en gemensam process

Varmt välkommen!
Församlingen Nimbus och ICCC Sverige"

Historiska rättigheter

Detta är en video som tar upp historiska fakta kring situationen på Västbanken presenterade av Israels vice utrikesminister Danny Ayalon:


Så här skrev ECI, European coalition for Israel i ett pressmeddelande den 8 juli:

“Pushing back Israel to 1967 lines is illegal under International Law

London, 8th July, 2011

- The Balfour Declaration, issued by the British Government in 1917, in which the Jewish people were promised a national home did not qualify as international law. However, the San Remo Resolution of 1920, which incorporated the Balfour Declaration, made the pledge binding under International Law. The San Remo Declaration, together with Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations and Article 80 in the Charter of the United Nations, are still applicable today. Pressurising Israel to go back to 1967 lines and dividing Jerusalem would thus be a serious breach of International Law.

These were the words of international human rights lawyer Jacques Gauthier who spoke at a consultation in the House of Commons in London on Thursday, little more than two months before a crucial vote in the UN General Assembly in New York. This is where Israel is being pressurized to accept a new Palestinian state along 1967 lines and to give up the Old City of Jerusalem. In his presentation, Dr Gauthier explained how the Old City of Jerusalem was promised to the Jews and how the Jewish claim to its capital is valid under International Law.”

Från Fletch Whipp´s hemsida:

"Two by two

I enjoyed reading this short teaching from Os Hillman below. I have operated our music studios for the last 7 years. I am so thankful to do what I love, meet some amazing people & enjoy the Lord’s favor in remaining prosperous during uneasy economic conditions. In the last season however the Lord has really caused my wife, Mouse to be used in a John 21:1-9 manner. ‘Throw your net on the other side of the boat’. Through Mouse’s input I believe the Lord has been steering us successfully into area’s I would never have considered. An important lesson was learned. God allows us to have vision, but there is strength in multiplication, as detailed throughout scripture. The disciples were sent out two by two, Proverbs tells us over and over to seek counsel and wisdom from others, and the scripture below from Ecclesiastes illustrates the point well.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work.” Ecclesiastes 4:9

(Os Hillman) Have you discovered yet that you are incomplete by yourself? During my “warrior” stage of life you would have been hard-pressed to convince me that I needed you or anyone else. I know few people willing to admit their need for others, but many who live according to this principle. However, sooner or later we discover God’s truth regarding our need for others.

God made us to need others. We may not discover this until we fail – fail in a business, a marriage, a close friendship, or in a client relationship. We are incomplete without the ongoing input from others into our lives. An independent spirit is one of the most detestable sins from God’s viewpoint. It is the highest form of pride. “Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice” (Prov. 13:10).

God has made each of us so that we have only so many gifts. He did not give any of us all the available gifts. Hence, we learn to depend on others and to humbly trust others to complete us where we are deficient.

David had Jonathan. Paul had Silas. John Wesley had George Whitefield. Martin Luther had Philip Melanchthon, who was 14 years younger. Martin Luther learned that he needed someone in his life to complete the work God called him to do. Luther had the greatest respect for this friend who helped him reform the Church of their day, and the Church as we know it at present. Luther learned a great deal from Melanchthon, who was a great scholar at a young age. He could speak several languages, and he became Professor of Greek at the new University of Wittenberg at 21 years of age. This was ten months after Luther posted his famous theses on the church door in Wittenberg. Melanchthon helped shape the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century through his research, writings, moral purpose, and religious conscience. Luther and Melanchthon became inseparable, and when they died, they were buried next to each other.

Who has God placed in your life to complete you? Perhaps it is a mate. Perhaps it is a close friend. Perhaps it is a business partner. If you lack this in your life, I encourage you to seek someone out who can speak into your life. If you have someone like this, tell him or her how much you appreciate the role he or she plays in your life."

Sevenfold Spirit of God

Nedan finns en undervisning om Guds sju andar och här kan du också lyssna till en alldeles utmärkt undervisning om detta: http://www.daystaratlanta.org/resources/sermons.asp leta upp:

"The 7 Spirits of God" Johnny Enlow August 15, 2009

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

Sevenfold Spirit of God

It is easier to recall the gifts of the Spirit, the ten commandments, but what of the Seven Spirits of God? As I re-read Chuck pierce's word from several days ago (see further below on this page) I found myself stumbling to recall the seven spirits. So using the Word we can trace and see these seven spirits as detailed by John in his letter to the churches. Enjoy, -Fletch

(Revelation 1:4-5) "This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia. Grace and peace from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the sevenfold Spirit before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the commander of all the rulers of the world. All praise to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us."

(Revelation 3:1-2) "Write this letter to the angel of the church in Sardis. This is the message from the one who has the sevenfold Spirit of God and the seven stars: "I know all the things you do, and that you have a reputation for being alive-but you are dead. Now wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is at the point of death. Your deeds are far from right in the sight of God."

(Revelation 4:4-5) "Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads. And from the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in front of the throne were seven lampstands with burning flames. They are the seven spirits of God."

(Revelation 5:6) "I looked and I saw a Lamb that had been killed but was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that are sent out into every part of the earth."

WHAT ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS?

I. SPIRIT OF TRUTH

John 15:26 (NLT)

"But I will send you the Counselor-the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will tell you all about me."

John 16:13 (NLT)

"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not be presenting his own ideas; he will be telling you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. "

1 John 4:6 (NLT)

"But we belong to God; that is why those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception."

2. SPIRIT OF POWER

2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

3. SPIRIT OF LOVE

2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

4. SPIRIT OF SELF-DISCIPLINE

2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

5. SPIRIT OF WISDOM

Deuteronomy 34:9 (NLT)

"Now Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. So the people of Israel obeyed him and did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses."

Proverbs 1:23 (NLT)

"Come here and listen to me! I'll pour out the spirit of wisdom upon you and make you wise."

6. SPIRIT OF JUDGMENT

Isaiah 4:4 (NLT)

"The Lord will wash the moral filth from the women of Jerusalem. He will cleanse Jerusalem of its bloodstains by a spirit of judgment that burns like fire."

Isaiah 19:14 (NLT)

"The LORD has sent a spirit of foolishness on them, so all their suggestions are wrong. They cause the land of Egypt to stagger like a sick drunkard."

(This spirit was sent to punish the Egyptians, thus, it is of the Spirit of Judgment.)

Isaiah 29:10 (NLT)

"For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has closed the eyes of your prophets and visionaries."

(This spirit was sent to punish the enemies of Jerusalem, thus, it is the Spirit of Judgment.)

7. SPIRIT OF LIFE

Revelation 11:11 (NLT)

"But after three and a half days, the spirit of life from God entered them, and they stood up! And terror struck all who were staring at them."

Zechariah 12:10 (NLT)

"Then I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on the family of David and on all the people of Jerusalem. They will look on me whom they have pierced and mourn for him as for an only son. They will grieve bitterly for him as for a firstborn son who has died."

Nationellt böneupprop

NATIONELLT BÖNEUPPROP för Hösten 2011-2012 - Tillsammans för ett förvandlat land.

www.sverigebonen.se

10 juli 2011

Till alla troende och orter i Sveriges land

Guds frid!

Till församlingarna som deltog i Bön på Nationaldagen 2011: Vi sänder

er varma hälsningar ifrån bönenätverket Sverigebönen och önskar Er en
härlig sommar och välbehövlig vila efter en lång vinter. Än en gång,
underbart att Ni anordnade bön på Er ort 6/6. Det var 104 orter som bad.
Visst ger detta mersmak! Vi har mottagit många segerrapporter från olika
platser i vårt land, från norr till söder. Gud Hör bön!

Drottningen skickade brev om uppmaning till bön, och Kungen sa i sitt
nationaldagstal att det är viktigt att med tacksamhet utbrista i texten
”Land, du välsignade”. - Vårt land blir mer välsignat när sinnena är
öppna och viljan att lära av varandra är gränslös, sa han i sitt tal.

BÖN FÖR DIN ORT (1 Tim 2:1-4)

Hösten 2011-2012

Vårt land och folk har stora behov och utmaningar. Under lång tid och
på många orter beds det för orten regelbundet. I Stockholm och S:ta
Clara kyrka anordnas "Bön för staden" en gång i månaden (uppstart igen
slutet av augusti). Vi vill nu inspirera Er till att Ni också tar
initiativ till "Bön för staden/orten" där Ni bor.

Vi vill att bönens eld skall drabba landet och ett naturligt samarbete
har börjat med 6/6. Låt oss stå tillsammans i för landet!

Förslagsvis kan Ni också börja i slutet av augusti eller när det passar
Er. Vi uppmuntrar till 8-12 samlingar per år i ekumenisk bön. Låt det
gärna vara bön på en plats mitt i ortens hjärta. Flera ber redan i stads
och kommunhus för sin ort.

Vi uppmuntrar bön inom 7 samhällsområden (se powerpoint på vår hemsida)
- Näringsliv/affärsvälden
- Media
- Politik, riksdag och överhet
- Utbildning och skola
- Familjen
- Religion och kyrka
- Kultur och konst

Bön: Vi ber om ett andligt ledarskap som tar ansvar för sin ort. Ge mod
och kraft till ditt folk Herre att be och arbeta för skörden. Vi ber att
korset ska bli synligt och verksamt på varje samhällsområde. I Jesu
Namn. Amen.

Vi hoppas att vi tillsammans kan nå ut med information via olika
nätverk och kanaler beträffande böneinitiativet och uppropet. Hör av er
gärna när ni har startat er ortsbön eller om ni redan ber regelbundet.
Mail: info@sverigebonen.se. Boka redan nu in 6 juni 2012 på din ort. Väl
mött i bön!

För Sverigebönen,
Carl-Erik Sahlberg, Ingemar Helmner, Patrik Sandberg, Torbjörn Erling

Herrens örnar samlas

Detta profetiska tilltal är från 2003, men jag upplever ändå att det är aktuellt idag. De "örnar" som varit separerade håller nu på att samlas på olika sätt. Läs och pröva.

Gathering Of Eagles

faithbuildersministries Jan 9, 2003

"And they answered and said unto him, where Lord? And He said unto them, wheresoever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together." Luke 17:37

"You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself." Ex 19:4

"And it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and the voice of the trumpet exceedingly loud." Ex 19:16

I have said that I am gathering My Eagles. As I delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage with lightning and eagles, so once again I am about to deliver My people with lightning and eagles.

Before I bring My judgment and My deliverance, I gather My eagles together and I shall lift them up on eagle's wings. Each eagle has experienced being alone in solitude, their only companionship being their God.

Their wait has been extremely painful at times, waiting for the manifestation of who and what they are - my cupbearers - the bearers of life.

They represent My Word, all the while soaring to the greater heights and victory. I have hidden, raised, trained and nurtured My anointed ones and they are being gathered for the sake of the world. My Eagles, those who will "see" MY vision and have the courage to soar where none have gone before and confident in the strength of the One Who uplifts them, going forth in perfect obedience to their Lord.

And when they soar it will be a GLORIOUS sight to behold! They have learned discipline, the discipline of silence - solitude - and the seemingly endless waiting, waiting, waiting.

Many tears have been shed, hurts, rejections, heartaches, being alone - all in preparation for their gathering.

The wait has seemed endless, and many might have given in, but because of the Spirit of My Son dwelling within their hearts and the knowledge of My High Calling on their lives, they have remained on course.

They know and feel their destiny and have MY strength to mount above the storm. They have seen the storm hit full blast upon them, still their destiny is "fixed" for a purpose AND a time - and it will not be defeated or destroyed - either by the enemy or by man!

Eagles who have been on fire, with a passionate longing for their God - their eyes discerning the brightness of the Son and their ears hearing the deep rolls of thunder.

Though at the moment, they are not visible to the world, My Spirit is even now moving upon My Sons and Daughters of glory and they shall be raised to heights that have never been seen before.

They have waited upon Me and now I shall 'renew' their strength and they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not be faint.

But, the scoffers also gather. Many will scoff and mock My Eagles, many will reject them, but when they do, they scoff, mock and reject Almighty God.

Nonetheless, be assurred, My eagles, no other birds can contend with you, for you have learned not to waste your time on them. You will soar even higher up, under My protective wings beyond their reach.

I have given you power and strength 'for hope' while waiting for your Lord to give the call.

As in the natural the eagle is the highest flying of all birds - the only creature, man or beast, who can look directly into the sun and it's eyes not be destroyed - so it is with My spiritual eagles.

You can look directly into the light of God, without being destroyed. You have had bouts of weariness, when your physical eyes took over, trying to find your own solutions through your own resources, and not Mine - Perceiving your "circumstances" to be bigger than your God.

But, as I fluttered above your nest and spread My wings, you "saw" that you dared "not" to lean on anything in this world, but to trust Me and ME alone and you learned to fly, "focused on ME."

You have learned to keep "focused" with your keen spiritual eyesight, looking straight ahead, led by My Son and you have yielded to Me, waiting for the wind of My Spirit, before you fly. In My perfect timing, you will soar, up - up -closer to ME, flying to the highest heavenly realm.

My Golden ones - soaring upward with no effort, just spreading your wings. You have said "I come to do Your will, O Lord" and you shall mount up and 'together' we shall soar as never before! And I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth.

I am taking you from all the nations, all the races, gathering you to Myself. I 'chose' My eagles, separating them unto Me.

You have been purified and given a new heart and now I am gathering My Eagles. You shall mount up on My command, making your nests high upon "THE ROCK." You shall see with new eyes and shall behold My Kingdom AND see the Splendor, Glory and Majesty of your God.

I am giving a call for My eagles to arise and come forth, calling you out of the darkness of the wilderness, and you shall be strong and do great exploits. No longer baby eaglets, but mature eagles.

You have heard My voice in the wilderness, now I am coming for My eagles, calling you together and you shall use the double edged sword in your talons for MY GLORY. Already, you are seeing with eagle's eyes, with "a passion for the possible", and soon you WILL SEE the impossible become possible.

I shall command LIFE for you, and what man can stop it? I am gathering My eagles, to join in union with their Lord, My Son, and the sharing of His anointing.

And you shall be transformed into My Light - My Glory, counted worthy by your God. The saints of all ages and My angels are watching and waiting in glorious anticipation of the Gathering of My Eagles.

"So we should live on eagle's wings - above the sadness, problems, stress. So spread your wings, oh child of God, catch the wind that blows and let Him take you to that joy that only you can know." (The last few lines of poetry that a beloved friend has written) golden eagle

Skillnad på kraft och auktoritet

John Paul Jacksons månadsbrev för juni:

The Heart of Kingdom Authority

June 2011
by John Paul Jackson

Jesus Christ came to Earth fully human, fully man, to redeem humanity and reveal something that most of us don’t notice right away: He revealed the authority we are capable of walking in. Basically, His life says to us, “Watch what I do, because everything I do, you can do. I get everything from the Father, and you can do everything I do if you have the relationship with Him that I have. And by the way, I have come to ensure that such a relationship with Him is possible for you.”

I have been a Christian for about 55 years, and as many of you have probably experienced, day-in, day-out Christian life can feel somewhat stagnant — unless we have something to make it interesting. If you are bored in your Christian walk, something is missing!

Perhaps it is the understanding that it takes more than power to make a Christian life really interesting. It also takes authority.

Why authority?

The major difference between power and authority is that anybody can have power — it is a gift, but authority comes only from intimate, abiding relationship with God and that takes effort. Authority is bestowed upon us through relationship, and therefore it is only as deep as that relationship.

Because it is rooted and wrapped in God’s presence, authority is greater than power. That is why Jesus gave the disciples authority over all the power of the enemy. Power does not necessitate relationship because it is an irrevocable gift. It can be residual or momentary; we may exercise it often, or it could happen only once in our lives. The devil clearly has power and uses it for his own purposes. He does not, however, have authority. He lost that when he fell from Heaven, which is why the disciples said, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

Power is recognized once it happens, but authority is recognized before it happens. The demons recognized that Jesus had authority before He ever did anything. In other words, they knew Him by His relationship with God, and therein lies the secret. We can have a power encounter and never change, but transformation comes with authority, because it involves time spent in the presence and heartbeat of our Father.

Relationship with God

Relationship is the heart of Kingdom authority. The Bible says to seek first the Kingdom and God’s righteousness, and everything else will be added to us. If we want to walk in spiritual authority, we need to put relationship with our Father first. We need to take on the nature of Christ by spending time with Him: time in His Word, time in prayer, time relating to Him. Then through time and experience with Him, we adopt a heart of obedience, which is the heart of a servant, and we adopt a heart of submission, which is the heart of a friend.

The Kingdom of God is based on authority. It conquers through power, but it rules through authority.

Hunger for God

Many people question why much of the Western Church is powerless. I would say we’re more “authority-less” than powerless. Generally speaking, the Church has forgotten about being transformed into His likeness. Five or 10 years after a revival, we sit back and wonder why we’re not different. Some of us aren’t even as close to God as we were before the revival, let alone after the revival. Again, power doesn’t change us. But authority always will because it involves God’s heart.

In the coming months, I think the Church as a whole is going to be reintroduced to the Father, and a hunger for authority is going to ensue. With that hunger for authority, we will see more spiritual encounters than we have in 20 or 30 years. Signs and wonders occur in the place where God’s power and hunger for authority combine.

If we want to have the kind of authority that disrupts the enemy, we have to have deep relationship with our Father. That relationship is the key to everything. It is the answer to this question of authority and power, and it is the answer to what many Christians fear: an inconsequential, mundane existence.

As we seek Him and His righteousness, we will naturally begin to exercise more of His Kingdom, and we will find what has been missing in our lives. We will find more of His heart.

For more on this subject, check out my teaching Power and Authority: Discovering the Missing Keys to Signs and Wonders.

Reningsverk

Den här texten sätter verkligen ord på det skede som jag tror Sverige befinner sig i just nu och som en hel del förebedjare är engagerade i bön för. Susan O´Marra bor i USA och tilltalet kanske riktas till denna nation, men som sagt, jag upplever dessa ord som mycket aktuella även för Sverige.
Grunden kommer att skakas och sådant som inte är välbehagligt inför Herren kommer att avslöjas. Speciellt sådana synder som förorenar marken, sådant man brukar kalla rotsynder.
Dvs:
- avgudadyrkan (2 Mos 20:3-4 och 34:12-16, Esra 9:11-12, Jer 3:6-10, Jer 16:18),
- sexuell omoral (3 Mos 18:1-30, Hes 16:25-27),
- blodsskulder (4 Mos 35:33, Ps 106:36-39, Hes 9:9), och
- brutna förbund (som kan leda till felaktiga förbund) (Jes 24:5-6, Hebr 10:28-29).

För dessa synder behöver vi förebedjare ställa oss upp i gapet och be om förlåtelse, omvända oss och be Herren bringa läkedom för vårt land. (2 Krön 7:14)
Jag upplever hur Herren lagt en god grund i Sverige, men den har på olika sätt blivit förorenad på dessa områden och de här "ogräsrötterna" behöver dras upp och sprickorna efter dem muras igen så att grunden blir stabil igen så att Herren tillsammans med oss kan fortsätta bygga upp Sverige till det Han har tänkt att det ska vara. /Barnabas


Child, I told you that I was going to go to the very root of the heart of your nation, and that I was going to break forth and set My charges against her pillars and structures and that a great demolition would occur so that I could forth bring My renovation process. You are seeing the very beginnings of that phase. I am forcing to the surface every foul thing that is buried deep within your nation’s heart. Every work of darkness shall come into the light. Every evil intention shall be discovered and uncovered. That which has lain comfortably underneath shall now be pressed till it fully emerges and it shall be utterly undone. What I told you was true. I shall have My way, and I shall bring this nation to it’s knees before Me. It is My Day. It is a Significant Time.

You are not to fear, or to be dismayed at what you will see openly displayed. I told you that I was going to the root. I shall leave no stone uncovered. I am going to thoroughly expose, and to thoroughly deal, so that no man can say that they did not know, and that they were deceived. No! For every heart shall know! I know that which lies deep within. I know the truth, and I know the hidden lies. Every heart will see the depth of it’s own depravity, and when My Light shall come, I shall set free all that want Me to set them free. I have come to bring a great liberty!

You are seeing only the first layers beginning to come to the surface, much more shall come, it shall be a great unveiling. It shall then lead to great national travailing, and when you have birthed forth from within, then My new work shall begin. I have heard your prayers. I am answering every one of them. I shall have a People, which are called by My Name, and they shall walk in My Light unashamed. I have yet to reveal all of My Plans, but you must trust Me and know that I Am! I know what I am doing in your midst. I shall bring forth all that is ordained to be. The rest will be cast off as shameful iniquity. Such a dealing shall I do with you, that other nations shall reel with all that I do and reveal. They shall know that I shall also do it with them. It is time for My Harvest to begin!

You must walk even closer to Me. You must cleave to My Word even more. It is time to watch and pray as never before. For I shall rise and I shall roar, and all that is against Me shall be separated forevermore. I have drawn a line, and no darkness shall cross it. No compromisers shall walk it. No liars shall move it. No mockers shall disprove it. I shall arise and I shall bring forth My Justice swiftly. Men shall know that I am He, for they shall come face to face with Me. I am coming. My angels are ready, the charges are set, the explosions shall commence. No more riders sitting on the fence. My demolition has begun. My Hand has come. I shall show you what needs to be done. Set your faces into My Winds and know that it is you that I will send, for I will set your cities on end. Great displays of My Presence and My Power shall burst forth with every falling tower. You will see My Design and wonder at My Signs. For I shall cause all of Mine to understand, and you shall walk hand in hand.

The Father Loves You!

Jewels from Judy: The Father Loves You!
By Judy Bauman
~
The Father Loves You – an exhortation from my heart to yours:

Today as I write you, I rejoice in the Father’s Love. We can know that no matter what turns life may take, the LORD God will be with us. He will never leave nor forsake us. This is His promise! During difficult times, which are sometimes referred to as a “dark night of the soul,” we need to set our face like flint and seek the Father’s will in our situation. Jesus lived this by example. The Father will always provide a way for us when we seek Him. The Bible teaches that the testing of our faith is precious to God. He tested all the patriarchs and their examples are written so that we can learn and be strengthened in our heart, soul, mind, body and spirit. I believe how we go through times of testing; these dark nights of the soul, will speak of our growth in Him and also to those around us. (See Matthew 5:16)
~
Right now, some of you reading this post may feel abandoned by God or that you are in trouble with Him. We have to see with the eyes of our understanding is that ALL our sins are covered by the atoning blood of Jesus! He is our High Priest; and because of this fact, we can go boldly to the Throne of Grace in our time of trouble. (See Ephesians 1:18; Hebrews 4:14-16)
~
We don’t need to beg and plead for mercy or try atoning for our own sin before approaching the Father. At the moment of need is when we are to RUN to Him. All begging, pleading, acts of penance and self-punishment are our own works trying to cover sin. If we could do that, then we wouldn’t need a Savior. However, when we come boldly to receive mercy, we are actually obeying Scripture! This “coming boldly to the Lord” is something that takes some practice, because it comes naturally to us to try to cover ourselves. That is what Adam and Eve did in the garden when they sewed the fig leaves together! They were working to cover themselves and it obviously didn’t work. If we repent and declare the Word of God over our feelings and situation, we will see the Lord’s hand swoop in and cover us. When God covers your sin, it is covered!
~
Now that is the gift of God and our biggest part – is to rejoice in the freedom of it!!! AMEN!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- 6/29/11:

A window of opportunity has opened if you will rise above complacency and be willing to put forth the necessary effort required to accomplish your desires. I speak to you who have become relaxed in your attitudes and standards; your way out of stagnation is to stir yourselves up to do what has been given you to do with renewed vigor and enthusiasm, says the Lord. Your reward awaits you.

Colossians 3:23-24 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

Min kommentar: complacency: att vara nöjd med det bestående, självbelåtenhet Tilltalet handlar inte om att vi ska "rycka upp oss" och göra något i egen kraft, utan helt enkelt göra anspråk på det som redan är oss givet.

Predikan på Nyhem igår

Igår predikade EFK-pastorn Mikael Hallenius på kvällsmötet på Nyhemsveckan. Det var en av de mest ärliga och tydliga predikningar jag hört någonsin. Självutlämnande och naket uppmanade han oss att leva efter det åttonde budet. Han uppmande i slutet till omvändelse och att istället för att leva i oförlåtelse och i andra synder, bekänna dessa saker inför Herren, be om förlåtelse och börja leva sanna och ärliga liv.
Predikan börjar 44 minuter in i sändningen, markörern går att dra dit om du bara vill lyssna på den. Rekommnderar varmt att ta tid att lyssna.

"Felfinnaranda"

Jag har länge funderat över den "felfinnaranda" som mer och mer blir synlig, inte minst i den kristna bloggosfären. Jag läste någonstans att idag finns fariséerna på nätet och jag är benägen att hålla med. Jag skulle kunna nämna många bloggar där denna anda frodas, men det gör jag inte för jag vill inte hamna i samma dike. Jag måste dock samtidigt erkänna att när vissa av dessa bloggar för några år sedan började ta upp de felaktigheter inom kristenheten som jag också sett, så tyckte jag det var bra. (Förlåt mig Herre för det!)

Men ju mer jag läste så började ett stigande obehag resa sig inom mig, och jag började fråga mig, vad var det som var fel?? Var det inte bra att allt det här kom fram i ljuset?
Jag började ibland skönja en fariséisk, religiös och lagisk anda bakom en fasad av att vilja göra Kristi kropp en tjänst genom att avslöja felaktigheter. Och till slut insåg jag att det var det här med att hänga ut andra kristna på nätet i samband med att olika företeelser avslöjades som jag inte tycker är OK och jag kan inte se hur det skulle kunna vara kärleksfullt. Så jag började tappa intresset för att följa de här bloggarna.

Jag drar inte alla bloggar över en kam, det finns de som skriver utifrån uppriktig kärlek till sina syskon och rena motiv, men alltför ofta kan jag känna denna olust. Speciellt när bibelord används för att trycka till någon annan. Guds Ord är heligt för mig och alltigenom sant, men jag tror inte det var tänkt att användas i det syftet.
Jag menar inte heller att vi inte skall följa de riktlinjer som Bibeln ger att gå tillrätta med dem som felat, men det ska ske på det sätt som Bibeln föreskriver och det är för mig en annan sak än det som sker på nätet idag.

Fletch Whipp skriver idag att det nästan utvecklats en ministry av felfinnande bland kristna, men att de personer som ägnar sig åt det inte förstår vilken skada de orsakar. Han menar också att den skada som denna kärlekslösa korrigering orsakar är större än de fel som felaktiga doktriner eller andra brister hos enskilda kristna orsakar.

En stor skörd

Från www.bed.nu:

En stor skörd - En broder i Herren
2004-09-06

En kristen broder, som vill vara anonym, sände detta budskap till oss om en stor skördetid men också om en förberedelsetid.

Från Honom, den upphöjde och den högtlovade, en hälsning till oss som jag förnimmer den:

- Då jag en gång talade genom mina profeter i Gamla Förbundets tid och som jag själv talade till människor då jag vandrade här på jorden, talar jag i dag.

- Såsom ni hör rapporter från olika delar av världen hur jag genom Helig Ande besöker olika länder, så skall jag också komma till detta land och folk. I stor nåd och kärlek skall jag så göra och mäktiga ting skall jag låta ske.

- Men Du min brud i detta land vart går din färd? Med undran ser jag på dig? Därför uppmanar jag dig att gå in i bönens kammare ensam och tillsammans med mig, där skall jag låta all min skönhet möta dig och stora gåvor skall jag där lägga i dina händer.

- Ty en stor skörd har jag lagt framför dig och jag skall göra dig beredd att ta emot detta. En skörd så stor såsom aldrig tidigare bärgats. Ty en Andens vind skall jag låta blåsa över detta land från norr till söder, från söder till norr, från öster till väster, från väster till öster och en stor skara skall då bejaka mitt ord. Nåd utöver nåd vill jag räcka dig och i stor glädje skall jag låta dig gå åstad.

Lovad vare Du Herre, himlarrnas himmel rymmer dig icke, men tack för att din hand är over oss. Herre är dessa ord från dig så välsigna dem, om inte så låt dem kastas bort.

En broder i Herren

Korset är rest över Sverige

En person som fick höra om ett stort, suddigt kors på himlen vid Jesusmanifestationen i Kalmar den 6 juni 2011 fick följande uttydning på detta att prövas av var och en:

"Så säger Herren, Herren: Ja, korset är rest över Sverige, det är sannerligen rest! Det är nu er uppgift att be och verka så att korset träder fram i sin tydlighet och skönhet. Verka i stor frid och kärlek, underordna Er varandra ty karriär och positioner existerar inte i mitt rike utan fortfarande gäller att störst är den som tjänar.

Vandra i Anden och sök mitt rike och min rättfärdighet så skall jag ge instruktioner hur Ni skall arbeta vidare att detta land, som jag älskar, skall få upprättelse från mig. Sannerligen, jag tillerkänner mig till den som lägger ned sitt liv för mig"
Halleluja!

Hosianna i höjden!!

S. Birgitta "


I Sveriges mittpunkt planeras ett 30 meter högt kors att resas, läs mer om det här:

Jesusmanifestationen i Kalmar

Ett vittnesbörd från Jesusmanifestationen i Kalmar igår:

"Igår var jag med på den första Jesus-manifestationen i Kalmar. Eftersom det var en stekhet sommardag gick jag in på Konsum för att köpa lite vatten innan det hela började. På vägen in i affären gick jag förbi ett sådant där ställ med studentattiraljer och där stod bla några stora Svenska flaggor. Jag kände direkt en maning att köpa en och ha med mig under manifestationen, och det passade ju bra för det var ju dessutom Sveriges naionaldag. Men jag stod ändå en stund och tvekade eftersom jag insåg att det skulle bli lite bökigt att ha den med...och dessutom var det ju så varmt... ibland är man lite trög. Men till sist insåg jag att det inte gick att göra annat än att köpa den och ta den med. Jag gick ned till Tullhamnen där evangelisationsbåten "Shalom" låg och där sjöng en kör väldigt medryckande. Jag fällde ut min flagga och snart kom en funktionär fram och kommenterade att "så bra att du är förberedd och har med dig flagga..." Nja, så förberedd vet jag inte om jag var precis, men med mig hade jag den i alla fall, tänkte jag.

Så gick vi i samlad trupp till Larmtorget där det skulle bli sång av Bengt Johansson med band och en del appeller. Medans vi gick där i tåget så slog det mig att jag nog var den enda som hade Svenska flaggan med mig och straxt kände jag hur någon tog tag i flaggan och tittade till åt sidan. Det var två killar av utländsk härkomst som ville låna flaggan och bli fotograferade med den! Nu började jag ana att det var nåt Herren ville med flaggan jag köpt...

Uppe på torget var det underbart att se alla människor komma samman och ära Jesus i bön, lovsång och tillbedjan. Jesus stod verkligen i centrum! Och medans vi stod där så kom det fram ytterligare en man som kommenterade att "så trevligt att se Svenska flaggan, det borde varit fler här idag" För mig så symboliserar det gula korset verkligen Jesu kors, så jag började fundera på om det var det i flaggan som drog till sig uppmärksamheten...

När vi så började gå i procession mot Stortorget där det skulle firas gudstjänst utanför Domkyrkan, så säger en god vän till mig: "Ser du korset däruppe?" Jag tittade på flaggspelet med de nordiska flaggorna över gatan och undrade om det var dem hon menade. "Nej, korset på himlen" Och då såg jag korset av vit rök som du ser svagt på bilden här intill (klicka på bilden så blir den större, korset är lite uppe till höger). Guds Andes närvaro blev så stark att jag började gråta! Tyvärr blev inte bilden så bra och det syntes mycket bättre i verkligheten, men hoppas ändå du kan se. Det var helt förunderligt!! För mig blev det en så stark bekräftelse på Herrens sanktion och himmelens glädje över det som skett i förberedelserna inför JM, manifestaionen igår och det som kommer att ske i vår region som en frukt av detta.

Framme på Stortorget hade massor av folk samlats för gudstjänst och medan vi stod där kände jag återigen hur någon bakom mig tog tag i flaggan och fotograferade den...men nu började jag nästan bli lite van :-) Straxt kom en kvinna fram och sa ursäktande att det var hennes kanadensiska vänner som ville ha ett foto av flaggan. Eftersom Kanada är ett land jag ber för så började det nu bli lite väl mycket tillfälligheter, så jag gick fram till hennes vänner och hälsade och sa att jag ber för deras land. Och vet ni vad den kanadensiska kvinnan svarade: "Jag ber för ert land också!"
Så genom min flagga förde Herren igår ihop två förebedjare i Kalmar som på var sitt håll bett för varandras länder. Jag vet inte vem av oss som var lyckligast att hitta den andra! Guds vägar för att knyta ihop sitt nätverk av förebedjare världen över är förunderliga.

Och som ett tecken på vår nyfunna vänskap och som en profetisk handling gav jag henne min Svenska flagga och jag tror att hon uppskattade den väldigt mycket. Herren vill verkligen knyta lena vänskapsband mellan oss människor, men också mellan nationer. Och jag var efteråt väldigt tacksam över att jag hade gensvarat på impulsen att köpa den där flaggan. Så viktigt det är att vi är lydiga när Herren manar oss. Guds välsignelse över Kalmar och regionen runt omkring!"

Väckelse i Sverige

Idag är det Sveriges nationaldag och jag vill gärna lyfta fram detta tilltal som Catherine Brown fick för några år sedan. Bed för Sverige!

A Word About Revival in Sweden
Catherine Brown 14 June 2007

JESUS CHRIST – THE KING OF SWEDEN!

As soon as I saw this phrase I had a vision of Jesus walking into Sweden. I saw the instantly recognisable blue and yellow flag of the nation and the Swedish people were laying out a red carpet to welcome the King of Kings and He was just walking in! I asked the Lord what had Sweden done to enter into revival visitation and the Spirit replied gently, "Nothing. It''s Sweden''s time." I received a strong impression that revival is about to break out in Sweden and that it will last 3 years. I believe that each nation has a divinely appointed time and season of visitation and that Sweden is upon her revival time line.

Father, in the blessed name of Jesus Christ, we agree for an outpouring of revival in Sweden. Father, we ask that there will be spontaneous conversions as it was during the 1939 and 1949 Lewis revivals (Scotland) in the highways and by-ways as your angels are despatched in Sweden and as preachers rise up to speak with apostolic grace, authority and compassion to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Father, we thank you for loving Sweden and for releasing miracles, signs, wonders and salvations. We decree Kingdom visitation upon Sweden and we open up the gates for your glory to fall. We pray for a spirit of wisdom and revelation to be poured out upon the Swedish King and Queen; upon the Swedish Parliament and upon all others in positions of influence and authority in Sweden in order that they may be good stewards of this precious Kingdom outpouring. We call forth the labourers for the harvest in Sweden and we crown you King of Sweden precious Jesus! Thank you Father for all the testimonies that are coming out of this land to your Great Name.

I see this revival in Sweden gaining national and international media attention. I see many children and youth being caught up in heavenly visitations and a phenomenal outpouring of prophetic utterance on the Swedish people. I see miracle meetings in the land with huge numbers of conversions and healings with creative miracles as part of the blessing. Father in Jesus'' name, we pray for the five fold ministry to be raised up in Sweden to help equip and disciple all these new disciples of all ages, that we receive by faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

I also see that surrounding nations will be touched by the holy fires of revival lit in Sweden. Prayerfulness will sweep across Sweden and affect neighbouring lands. Hallelujah!

"The Spirit and the Bride say Come Lord Jesus!"

samt detta tilltal som Ewa Gustafsson fick samma år:

"Hör vi Andens rop till församlingen!
Res er upp, väckelsen står för dörren, Kungars Kung ska rida in i landet. Röda mattan har rullats ut. Det jag har talat det jag har lovat det ska ske, Elden ska brinna från Göteborg i väster till Stockholm i öster, från Smygehuk i söder till Treriksröset i Norr. Gör er redo köp ögonsalva hos mig så att ni kan se och känna igen min Ande när jag rör mig i landet. Se till att ni inte står i vägen eller begränsar mig, bestäm inte hur jag ska komma eller vad jag ska göra."

Eileen Fisher - Powerless within yourself‏

Eileen Fisher - Powerless within yourself

4 juni

"The Lord says, “I am looking for a people who are hungry. I am looking for a people who will be open to receive. I am looking for a people who will lay down their lives and follow Me. I am looking for a people who will pick up My power and spread that power and bring Me all praise and bring Me all glory. I am looking for a people who will humble themselves and exalt Me so that I could bring forth My glory upon My broken people.

“I am looking for a people who will call upon My Name and as they call upon My Name, they will be identified within My Name. I am looking for a people who will come in My Name and will be sent in My Name and who will receive in My Name and who will bid others to go in My Name. I am looking for a people who will proclaim My Name. I am looking for a people who feel even at time their name has been stripped away, that My Name will never be stripped away. I am looking for a people who will be loyal through testing, through trials, through triumph.

“I am looking for a people who will lay down all and follow Me. Ambition, pride, fear, disappointment, unbelief, doubt, discouragement. I am looking for a people who will have the heart of Job for I understand how painful it is to understand to be slain. Now I want to raise Myself a people stronger who will understand the gain of My resurrection and take the knowledge of the gain of My resurrection and heal the pain of My people. I am looking for a people to carry all that Heaven has gained and spread it forth and proclaim that I have not only died, but I have rose again. I am looking for a people to carry the power of My resurrection with humility, with a contrite and a broken heart and a broken spirit to where they can have My heart, My heartbeat, My heart desire. I am looking for a people to exchange their heart for My heart, their power for My power. I am looking for a people powerless within themselves, but powerful in My Spirit,” says the Lord your God.

Love and Blessing, Eileen"

Offerhöjderna rivs ned

It's the High Places Coming Down

I have an impression that the High Places are being torn down. Before any period of blessing as you read the Word, there was a time when the High Places had to be destroyed. High places were places that may have started out OK but in the end became idols. Works of the flesh. False Religion. Many great men of God tore down the high places. Gideon did. Josiah did. Hezekiah did. Jehoshaphat did. Yet reading the word...I see not man, but GOD tearing down these places that attempt to take the place of God in our lives. Money. Government. Religions. Power. Sex. and a hundred others who would by the motivation of the enemy try to supplant God. When I look around the world today, even reading the news, watching it on TV, I see high places being torn down.


When Father said, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me", there was no exception clause in it.

God is tearing down the high places. If you don't want things torn down and destroyed, don't erect them in the first place. That is the word of the Lord.
Leviticus 26:30 I will destroy your pagan shrines and knock down your high places of worship. I will leave your lifeless corpses piled on top of your lifeless idols, and I will despise you.
Micah 1:3 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Ezekiel 6:3 -- This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places. 4 Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols. 5 I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.6 Wherever you live, the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols smashed and ruined, your incense altars broken down, and what you have made wiped out. 7 Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
What we see as difficulty, pain, suffering and disaster is many times just the high places coming down. All change is first perceived as loss. This is that.
