Party this Weekend!

It seem like summer has finally reached Stockholm :). I am enjoying riding my Harley to work in the morning traffic. Real life-quality to ride in this beautiful weather while gazing out over the city. Stockholm is so beautiful in the summer!

Come and enjoy summer together with SOS Church this Saturday! We'll meet at 12 noon for a cook out in the Rålambshovs park, right by the large tree beside the restaurant. Bring your relatives, friends, neighbors, the dog, the cat :). Take out the steak and potatoes! Bring the lovely Persian food and the delicious Latino food! Bring the chips and the Coke! BBQ this Saturday my friends!

Party continues on Sunday too, we'll meet for two celebrations! I am preaching at 12 noon and 4 pm. We'll hear wonderful reports from the festival in Tanzania. You do not want to miss celebration this Sunday!

See ya!

Touchdown in Stockholm after Tanzania

From Tanzania to Norway last week and now I'm back in Stockholm again… I had a short layover in Stockholm before I flew to Norway and spoke at the Youth Conference 'Jesus to the Nations' at Sarons Dal in Southern Norway this past weekend… About 50 saved and 70 were baptized in the Holy Spirit and started speaking in new tongues! Thank you Jesus!

During the 24 hours in Stockholm the Amritzer family rented a pedal boat at the Tullinge Lake and sun bathed… We also watched and enjoyed a great movie; Soul Surfer… What a good message! We all cried when we saw it… See it!!! It's a must!

100 crazy SOS missionaries have landed in Stockholm now! We will turn this city upside down this summer and baptize in every little water hole we can find :)!

See ya!

65,000 the Final Night in Dar!

What great days we've had here in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania! Tens of thousands of people have gathered for 5 consecutive nights at the large soccer field, Jangwani, in the center of the city… We have preached to a total of 160,000 people these nights! Jesus has saved, opened blind eyes, deaf ears and removed tumors and every night demon possessed have met freedom in Jesus Christ! The final night God poured out His Holy Spirit over the people and we believe that around 10,000 were dipped in His fire and started speaking in tongues! Thank you Jesus!

I am overwhelmed of what Jesus has done here in Dar, I am sooo grateful to God!

See ya!

The Fourth Night in Dar!

Last night we actually had about 35,000 people at our festival here! Such lovely miracles; deaf children that hear perfectly and blind that see! Jesus is in town!

Zela Hasani had become deaf on both ears due to wrong treatment for malaria when she was a baby. Here she is repeating everything that we say, showing everyone that Jesus has done a complete miracle! Her hearing is perfect!

Maria Musah had been almost completely deaf on both ears for 10 years, she received her hearing and was completely restored after prayer!

Blind Eyes, Deaf Ears and lots of Salvations!

The crowd here in Dar es Salaam grew to around 27,000 tonight, SOS is having festival and Jesus is here and performs miracles! The crowd has grown from 13,000 the first night to 20,000 yesterday and tonight we had 27,000… Wow, I am so happy! Imagine that I get to preach to these precious people!!!

We concluded our three day long Pastors Conference today. 2,100 pastors from the entire nation have attended and it has been our privilege to teach and serve them. We ended the conference by handing out 5,000 copies of my book; "A Public Spectacle." My covenant friends, Ron Johnson and Jeff Leake have been teaching the pastors all week, wow, it's been great!

This man had only one eye, on which he was blind… But tonight Jesus opened his only eye! He demonstrated his healing on stage in front of a roaring wild crowd!

There were so many strong healing miracles tonight; blind eyes were opened, deaf ears could hear again and paralyzed body parts had life again! We have prayed with thousands of people to salvation these three nights, Jesus is really visiting Dar! Our team of about 190 people are happy, a little tired, but we are all looking forward to what Jesus will do tomorrow! Thank you all my blog-readers and friends for praying for us!

See ya!

The Third Day of the Festival!

We are on the third day of the Signs & Wonders Festival here in Dar es Salaam… Jesus has performed miracles every night and lots of people have been saved! Yesterday we had around 20,000 people at the festival ground, Jesus healed the sick and many were delivered from evil spirits! Jesus is lovely!

A man who had become blind on one eye due to an explosion accident where he got some glass in his eye started to see last night! He was standing up on the platform, he was so happy! Jesus loves to perform miracles!

Finally in Dar!

Festival week; I landed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania late Monday night… Yesterday we had a press conference with the large magazines, TV and radio channels present and two of the national papers; The TanzabiaDaima and The Majira wrote about our festival, fun…

Today our Pastors Conference; Apostolic Breakthrough started. More than 2000 pastors attended, I taught one session and my good friends, Ron Johnson and Jeff Leake the rest of the day.

So many precious people ran into the arms of Jesus tonight and prayed a salvation prayer...

Around 13,000 people gathered this afternoon at Jangwani Ground in the middle of the city, lots of people saved, many miracles and Jesus delivered many people from evil spirits! Exciting to see what the Holy Spirit will do the rest of the week! I am sooo happy for this life!

This lady had been deaf on her left ear, tonight Jesus opened her ear and here she is here demonstrating her healing in front of a rejoicing crowd!

Tonight was the night of deliverance for this lady. The demons had forced her to throw herself into the fire, but here she is completely free, she was so happy!

The Power of Jesus!

I am so enjoying being a pastor in Stockholm this week… The Bible School graduation on Thursday was a "Holy Ghost blowout"; thank you Jesus! We spent a lot of time praying for our dear students… Our pastors-meeting was such a heart to heart moment, naked honesty and beautiful salty tears with Jesus in the center of the room… I've also had a pre-marriage counseling session with an African couple that are so in love :)…

Meditating on the power of Jesus today. Thinking of when Jesus stood in front of Lazarus grave, two thousand years ago. Just imagine that he said; "Lazarus, come out!" (Joh 11:43b). If he had not said; "Lazarus," i.e. the name of the dead person, the all the dead in that entire graveyard would have come out of their tombs. Everyone that died in Israel would have come to life :)! Jesus has all the power in the heavens and on the earth (Matt 28:18b)!

I am believing God for a miracle explosion in Dar es Salaam next week!

Preaching here at how tomorrow at 12 noon and 4 pm… Hope I'll see you there!

See ya!

"Hot" Christians!

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

Acts 2:3

Early this morning I had an espresso in "summer-Stockholm..." Reading a beautiful picture book by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, enjoying his simple and full life experience from a long life as a missionary on the African continent. I quote;

Flies only sit on a cold stove. Get the fire of God in you, and no demon will come near you!

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke...

Wonderful! Right?! Sooo great!

Today it was graduation for our students, both SOS Mission Bible College and SOS Leadership Academy... Wild worship, laying on of hands and power-transfer :)!

You are coming this fall right?! Apply here!

See ya!

Reflections in Pittsburgh

I just concluded a weekend at Allison Park Church, Northern Pittsburgh, had some chicken wings and coffee... I am enjoying life to the full! Have once again had the privilege to preach to thousands of people again and many have been saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit! Thank you Jesus! What a life I get to live!

Just imagine that God has given me all these faithful friends and partners all over the world and especially in the US and Norway...

I am flying home to Stockholm today. Preaching at home on Sunday and will fly to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on the East Coast of Africa next week. Signs & Wonders Festival and Apostolic Breakthrough Conference will be fantastic! I am longing!

I have been reflecting over margins and "chaches." A cache is someting that makes life so much easier. Cache, margins and a little extra in all areas is a great secret to a more sound life... Leadership is so much more than just being able to accomplish as much as possible all the time, it's also about living a long life with high quality. If you want your your leadership to attract people so they want to follow you from the heart, then listen... Have a little extra money saved and have some space in between the larger projects. An extra day off now and then and an extra hour off in between your long 2 do list... This will really make your day extra special and create feastivity in your everyday life. I have become much better at this these last three years, and as a result I am doing so much better. Some time off for hunting, fishing, riding my motorcycle and an extra day off with my family really makes the difference. Test it out! But, if you don't make space for this in your calendar, it won't happen...

Day off with my family at Dalarö a few weeks ago...


See ya!
