-Matt 6:33
This is how I spend my time right now. “Eastern theology after 1453″ is one part of the course I’m taking. I just prepared this “study-evening” with my favorite brownies, so I can stay focused! My advise to you is never to study without tea and chocolate 
Be blessed!!
Unthankfulness is having it’s place in our lives way too much. It makes us having a difficult relation to life. Gods will for you is to enjoy your everyday walk with him, but while holding on to unthankfulness you will never see that come to pass.
1 thess 5:18
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
Thankfulness brings us in line with the will of God for your life. We don’t have much that we can give to God, but one thing we actually can give is our thankfulness. By giving him our thanks we get a sound focus and a thinking in the right direction. It will open up for many blessings to be released over our life’s according to Gods will.
What happens when we let unthankfulness abide in us?
Rom 1:21
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Unthankfulness causes blindness to take over our hearts. Blindness is not to stop seeing, but it’s to see other things than God wants us to see. We get a wrong perspective of ourselves, God, and other people. We will have wrong understanding of life and become unhappy.
One unthankful person can never enjoy life. We can be rich in material things, cars, money, even friends, but if we are not thankful we are the poorest people on the earth.
Some people complain that the devil has sent so high electricity bills. But a revealing truth is that the devil has not used the electricity in your home. You need to thank God for that bill. Think about all the good things you could use it for. And think about all those people on the earth that can’t even receive a bill because they don’t even have a home to stay in. Praise God for your bills!
Some people complain that they have too much to study while others around the world barely survive because they never had a chance to go to school. Praise God for being busy with studies!
Some complain that they have to get up of the bed too early in the morning. Even that is something you can praise God for, because that means you have a job to go to in the morning! It also tells me that you have a warm bed in your home. Others have to sleep on the street because they have no bed at all. Praise God for the few hours of sleep you got in a warm bed!
Maybe your husband is just sitting in front of the television all day, but you should praise God for him! That he has patience enough to be your husband
Praise God for life! Maybe it could have been better, but it could also be worse. At least you live, and that alone is worth praising God for.
Im sure there is much more to praise God for, and if we open our eyes to if, (maybe it sounds like a slogan, but) our life’s will be changed!!
A thought just hit me, that when we have experiences in this world which teaches us something about the kingdom of God, they are not only for ourselves, but they are for others! We should never withhold the blessings to people, and therefore I want to tell you just a small testimony of what God did one day in my life.
I was a bibleschoolstudent in my precious wonderful homechurch in this city, and was flooded by faith-teaching and encouragement, and it was just natural for me to be in that “faith-atmosphere”.
Suddenly one day as I and a friend were on a shopping tour in the center to find a pair of glasses for me (I had gotten bad sight) and my bike disappeared, somebody stole it from the place where we parked it. It wasn’t a very precious or expensive bike (actually I had received it for free) but for me it was very valuable since it was my only means of transportation at that time. It was the time before cars even existed…
So at first came my “how-could-it-happen-attack” and then the precious “If-I-only-had-done this-attack”. And that is the way in which we most times react when something unexpected happens. But I realized that attitude wasn’t gonna help me so I did what should be our first reaction always; I prayed to the Lord!…. And then I reported it to the police.
The very next day as I’m biking on a borrowed bike towards my apartment I hear a small still voice of the Holy Spirit speaking inside of me saying “take the way through this school, and you will find your bike“.
We need to take the soft voice of the Lord seriously always. If we are ever gonna get to know him closer and recognize his voice we need to dare to believe, and step out in faith. I did, and I’m excited to tell you what happened!
This is not a big deal, I mean a bike with no financial worth at all! But the very issue in itself, that the Lord cares about the even smallest things, is worth mentioning. That is the least we can do in return is to exalt him, giving thanks and to declare before people that he is a good God.
When I took the road through that school I turned my eyes towards a certain spot, and there it was! My bike! The police came and released my bike, and I went home in total spiritual victory!!
We should never forget to believe God for small things! When the enemy attacks us remember to; Submit under God, stand against the devil, and he will flee from you!!!
Blessings and love
Hi there!
Do you know how it feels when you have done something wrong towards a friend (all of us have, right?) and the trust between you and that friend has been damaged or broken?
It hurts to know that someone has hard time to trust you…
How then do you think it feels for God when he is looking upon our unbelief? To doubt means not to trust in God, and it hurts in him too. Jesus clearly expresses his feelings in Matt 17:17
“O unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.”
God wants you to trust in him!
We are proud to present our own Christer Fuglesang who is a swedish guy in the space He is working a lot, but has even time to play chess against the readers of the swedish newspaper “Dagens Nyheter”…
Good luck.
This song draws such an attention to God and his holiness! When I listened to it the first time Gods presence just filled my room, and made me think of his greatness and beauty! It is true that he is so much more than we can comprehend or understand with our mind. God is not to be understood with the mind! He is to be loved, adored and we should have fellowship with him in the spirit, not in the mind. Just listen to the song and love him!
What if we would see into the spiritual world with our physical eyes, and be able to see exactly what happened when we prayed, worshiped and praised God?
What if we would see the reactions of the angles when we did Gods will? Or when someone got saved? The bible says that the angles are rejoicing when a new soul comes to the Lord.
What if we could see the reactions of the demons when we started to pray in tongues? When we pray for nations, cities and our neighbors?
What if we would see the change in the spiritual world when we speak positive or negative words? The word tells us that death and life is in the power of our tongue. (prov 18:21)
If we could see all these things here on the earth with our physical eyes, we would be more concerned about the way we are acting and relating to the spiritual world. We would have faith to move mountains! When Elisha prayed for his servant, the Lord opened his eyes and he saw what a mighty army that were with them on the hills (2 Kings 6). Let us not forget that even though we cannot see it, still it is there and we need to be aware of it and start to live in faith.
We indeed can make a change!
Love
Yesterday when I took a walk in the sun I started to think how God really wants us to live. What is it that pleases him?
I want to be a person that cares for others. I want to be someone that even if I have much to do, little time and a lot of people to meet, I can still focus on one person and take time with this one without getting disturbed by everything else. I can listen to what this person want to say, and look him/her in the eyes with the mindset that “this person is important”. That is caring.
I want to be a person that sacrifices my own comfort in order to save or help others. That begger on the street might need my $10 better than I do even if it feels like I really need it right now. I will always survive without it. My friend might need a lift to the city, and it doesnt always feel so good to do it, especially when I am tired or in a hurry somewhere, but for her it can change her day!
Then my relationship with God, I dont want to be a “sunday-christian” that always praises the Lord in church but the rest of the week only minding my own business. No, I want to be constantly connected to heaven in prayer and worship and knowing that he is present all the time. Praising him for every little thing I can think of, be led by him in daily details, letting him be the Lord of my life Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
