The Work of the Holy Spirit!


Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord.

Acts 9:31

I never stop to fascinate over the work of the Spirit. When there is "self-go" in the churches, people are saved, baptized in water and in the Spirit and healed without any pressure or stress from the leaders, we know that we are in the middle of God's wonderful will... When financial miracles happen without manipulation or "help" from the leaders, but people are lead to give, the exact amount in the right time, then you know it's the work of the Spirit... We are experiencing all this in SOS right now, and many true tears of gratitude are often on our cheeks and we have a hard time talking because of this... God has touched my heart, not once, but many times this past year and the goodness of God, His faithfulness and love is poured over me.

As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul's heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day.
1 Sam 10:9

My heart, and the hearts of my SOS coworkers are humbled, crushed and we become softer all the time. God's goodness and love drive out "besserwisser mentality," self-rightousness and brisk holier-than-thou mentality. Thank You God for the genuine work of the Holy Spirit in us all.

Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by valiant men whose hearts God had touched.
1 Sam 10:26

There are some men of God in Sweden that I love very deeply and often pray for nowadays. Not because of church political or strategic reasons, but because God has placed a special love in my heart for them...

I pray for Tommy Lilja in Sölvesborg! Tommy is a true role model in faith, boldness and conquering spirit!

Happy 50th birthday Tommy!

I pray for Pelle Hörnmark (Leader of The Pentecostal Free Churches)! Pelle has a heart of gold and shows true love!

Pelle Hörnmark...

I pray for Per-Johan Stenstrand in Västerås! Per-Johan is a great shepherd and church builder that I admire!

Well, well... Maybe it means something to you fellow warrior brothers to get a little encouragement from another, at this piont, pretty scarred warrior brother :).

I am in Norway preaching this weekend... Praying a lot for our festival in Haiti that starts October 6-10! God, give us 50,000 people in one festival meeting and 20,000 souls to salvation! Lord Jesus, lean down and kiss the city Port Au Prince... Come and bless the people with genuine healings and signs!

See ya!
