It all started at the toilet

First of all I would like to thank all of you who are standing behind me in prayer, believing in me and my ministry and making things possible. Without YOU I could never have done what I have done this past weekend. I have been here in Sölvesborg, Sweden pressing in and diving deeper in the word of GOD! I have been on a three day conference here at the distance Bible school where I am studying. Thank you all for your prayers and financial support to make this happen. I just feel this is the will of GOD in my life right now.

I have to share this story with you about HOW I found out about this Bible school and how it all started. It is a funny story but GOD has HIS own sense of humor and GOD is a good GOD! We have to remember that NOTHING bad comes from GOD!

It was this summer when I was in Gothenburg, Sweden ministering and preaching in some churches. I stayed at Betelskeppet, a ship where around 30 alcoholics and drug addicts live. Me and my son Sebastian stayed in the captains cabin on the upper deck and it was something like a luxury cabin with dark wood on the walls and had two separate rooms and a bathroom. There were windows in two directions so we could see the waters of Gothenburg and the sun deck. I think it was the first day after we had arrived when I had to go and take care of some business at the toilet. Usually I read the newspaper there but I had no newspaper this day. There were some books in the cabin and I saw this book with flames on and thought that must be a good book as it had fire on it. I sat there for I dont know how long and read this book as it really spoke to me. Not just to my flesh but to my inner man, to my spirit. Actually I sat there until the captain Jukka Mäkikangas came and said we have to leave for next meeting.

I left the book there and we did what we were there to do and on our way back to the ship I remembered the book. I wanted to read it all but I knew that I had no time to do it before we had to leave the ship. I asked brother Jukka about the book and he said that I could have it. People have been giving me books and I have many books that people have been giving me. This book is different, I got overwhelmed when he gave it to me and I remember how it had its special place in my bag.

When I came home I red the book and it really spoke to me. I remember being so thankful for that book and I wanted to know more about the person who wrote it. First I thought it was some old dude that moved home to the Lord 50 years ago or so. I never heard the name Tommy Lilja before. I started to investigate him and his ministry that I never heard about either. I found a man in his best years, a man of GOD with a ministry and a church. Let me put it this way so you understand what I found. I found something like the swedish version of Reinhard Bonnke. A minister with his heart on the right place and a passion for the lost. This is not possible if you are not humble.

I had been praying for a Bible school as well and I planned on starting studying on Morningstar in USA by their distance school for international students. For some reason this never happened even if I visited Morningstar earlier this year. I wanted a distance Bible school in Swedish. Now I found this on pastor Liljas webpage and I knew then that this is what I have been searching for. Of course I did not have the money, but because of YOU I mentioned before I now have the finances to study and get deeper in the word of GOD.

I have now studied two months and this last weekend I attended their conference with ten lessons in FAITH and three meetings with a woman of GOD, Paige Junaeus from USA. This last weekend have been so wonderful and dear friends, again I have to face the fact that tattoed and hairy rock and roll bikers does cry. I have been so thankful for everything and so touched by GOD this weekend here in Sölvesborg, Sweden that I have been crying like a child. I received really encouraging words from GOD through HIS prophets and I met new brothers and sisters that I do love with all my heart. I can easily say that this weekend changed not only my life even more, it changed me, my way of thinking and my way of living. I really want to step out of my comfort zone and live a life to serve other people. Imagine that all this started at the toilet in Gothenburg earlier this year. We can NOT understand GOD and HIS ways!
