God is good and the sun is here as we have been praying. It has been both windy and rainy the last week but today we have a beautiful sunny and warm day. We pray and hope that the weather will continue like this as we are going out on the road again as Ambassadors For Jesus Christ.
Last night while I was riding my motorcycle God gave me a revelation and a vision. I passed by the grave yard where a good friend and brother of mine is buried. First I felt sadness coming over me as we sure do miss those who have left us. My thoughts went back to the 30 something years I lived with a strong fear of death that also took control over my life. Death was in all my thoughts and I have to admit that inside I was a sad and scared little boy even if the outside might have told different. People who know me also know about my inside. Everything I did and everything I thought about was death. Of course these thoughts disappeared when I drank or used drugs but in the long run that peace was just temporary, like using novocaine.
When I met the Lord on my death bed four and a half years ago my fear had changed to a reality. I was entering death and I almost went over the line when Jesus miraculously appeared to me and healed me and set me free from my past life with addictions and fear. Since that night God and His word have been ministering to me not only about the inner man and the peace we receive in our Spirit when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We are still going to leave this world one day and of course it might sound sad and depressive. Anyway there is a big blessing in death if you are saved. The word of God promises us so many good things when we look in the eternal perspective that it is hard for our minds to get it all. As born again Christians we have nothing to fear, not even death. It wont hurt and it is not dangerous to die. When we finally get on the other side we will have everything. We will be in paradise together with our Creator and heavenly Father and HE only wants us the best. As I have suffered from depression and fear so much in my past I just wanted to share my thoughts and the vision that GOD gave me about the eternal perspective. When you as saved and born again you will never die. Your body will give up but the day you accepted Jesus Christ into your life your inner man, your spirit where put in the heavens together with JESUS sitting next to Father God on His right side on the throne. This is just so heavy that it is hard to understand but it is one of the many promises in the word of God.
If you miss a friend you can rejoice with him or her if you know they were saved. Children will ALWAYS get to heaven as JESUS said, let the children come to me. If you think about a person who have passed away and you do not know if she or he was saved, don't worry about it, think about your own soul, spirit and eternity. Personally I believe that Gods Grace is Amazing as it says in the old song. I believe that Gods Grace is way bigger than we can imagine and that the day we move home to heaven we will see many of those we never could have thought about making it there. It is easy to get saved, the only way to the Father is through Jesus and the day you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and what the Bible teaches about Him and you confess it with your mouth and admit you are a sinner you WILL get saved and you can start to live in the eternal perspective without fear in peace. I can only recommend this to you if you never gave your life to Jesus. I do not want to force any one to do anything. Jesus loves you and me they way we are as we are the ones HE created us to be.

If you need some one to talk to or some one to pray for you or you are in need you can always ask one of us Ambassadors when you see us. When we are on the road we are on the road for Jesus and we are there to serve Him and help one another in a best possible way.
We are also doing some changes in the leadership and board of directors within the next couple of days. We have decided about a new board of directors and Pontus J. Back continues as director for the European branch.
