A happening weekend and more to come...

This weekend has been absolutely a riot! Friday night me and Brother Mats drove to Frank Mangs Center in Närpes where we had fellowship together with some of the Brothers and Sisters from Gospel Riders. Gospel Riders were out on a tour and they had been at 100 places in two groups, in the last three weeks. Close to 100 people had received Christ through their tour. Friday night they stopped by and slept over in Närpes. The same night Nina Åström had a concert there and no one left without being touched by God. A wonderful night!

Yesterday, Saturday 20th was a big day for me. It was last winter I got the vision to arrange something in the village Kvevlax where my home church is located. There is a spiritual heritage in Kvevlax and all three churches are operating together. There is unity in Kvevlax and most likely this comes from around 1920 when evangelist Frank Mangs visited the village and basically the whole village got saved. Yesterday we stood together in this vision and we went out to take the church to the people. We served coffee, sausages and the Gospel outside the local supermarket, everything for free. Gospel Riders visted us in the morning and from early morning to the afternoon we had another wonderful day in the presence of Jesus.

Yesterday I just thought about things and I believe God spoke to me. I just have to let you all know that I am very thankful right now! God is definitely doing something and it feels like He is moving His children closer to each other! As the word of God says that He will pour out His Spirit over all flesh in the last times this also means that His love will be more present and this perfect love will also be poured out over all flesh (all people)! I just believe that we as Christians have a choice her, a free will. We need to make up our minds if we want to step out of our comfort zones and share that love in Spirit and Truth with all other people or if we want to continue sitting inside the church whining and complaining about things? That question goes to me and it goes to you!

Let me be honest with you and tell you the truth. NOBODY have been better by complaining. Complaining is something that we do when things are wrong but this whole concept called "complaining" has become like a life style for some of us. I have been there, bought the t-shirt and I have the record but I did not feel any better. I still do it but I do not want to do it! 

When you are THANKFUL something is released inside of you that make you stop complaining. It gets even better when you thank GOD for what ever you are thankful for and something way more powerful than anything else will be released inside you and you will carry it and give it away to other people! This is for YOU!

We do not have time anymore to sit and write status updates about what they are doing in that church or what they are doing in that church, what is wrong in that church or anything negative about any Brothers and Sisters. We are called to BLESS all our Brothers and Sisters! So to all you out there who are gossiping, slandering and badmouthing other Christians, especially you who think you live closer to God than anyone else; get down on your knees, repent and ask GOD to forgive you. The fruit you produce is BAD! Remember: GOD IS GOOD, ALWAYS!

Yesterday is still on my mind and I am thinking about how many wonderful people we have in our church, people who show their Christian love in action and do what they can do. They ask if they can help and they show up when they need to be there. They serve with a passion and with joy. Funny that most of these people are the older generation, those who built our church and made it possible for us to have a church to go to. I highly respect and love these wonderful Brothers and Sisters and I want to have what they have. 

They are perfect examples and they are not standing on a box condemning people to hell, they might not hit you in your head with the Bible and the 10 commandments right away. They will not tell you that you are a useless sinner and that you have to do this and that. They show the true love from our heavenly Father in action and love as they are carrying the very same love and they are giving it away in a way that are touching people more than words.

I think that we, the younger generation and next generation should be really careful about how we do, how we think and how we act. There is a big difference in generations but still when I talk to men and women of God today they often quote people from this older generation. When they were young there were revival and there were a church in every small country side village. Today it is different. May be it is time to pray and ask God what we have done wrong? One thing is for sure, if the renewal is not of God, we wont do any good, we will destroy more than we too good! We have to respect the older generation and actually find out. How did God make it so dee in their hearts!

In a couple of days, on Tuesday June 23rd me and my son, Sebastian are heading out for a 16 DAY road trip. People who don't know what we are doing on our road trips might have their own opinions about being out on a motorcycle. They might think it is something we do for fun. Well, to be honest with you I am not so into riding long distances and I do not think it is fun at all riding hundreds of kilometers in heavy rain. I do not think it is fun to get pain in my back from sitting on a seat for many hours per day. Why are we then doing this if it is not fun? We are doing this as for six years now I have seen how God is opening doors when we are out on the roads. We wear our leather vests with our colors on the back with a cross and the text; Ambassadors For Jesus Christ. Already there it is a testimony for those who think that all Bikers are bad. Some of the people out there has never heard about a "Christian Biker". Some of the scribes and pharisees does not think it is ok to be a born again Christian and ride a Harley Davidson. Why would it not be ok? I do not see it as anything negative. What IF I said that I do not think it is ok for a Christian to write poems, or if I said it is not ok for a believer to take a swim. It is exactly the same thing and I would like to call it stupidity. So many times I have got to share my testimony and most important of all the Gospel with people at gas stations, on the side of the road, at cafés, yes even in traffic lights during our road trips. What if that ONE person is someone who never heard the truth before? What if that person is someone who has been hurt by religious churches with their laws, rituals and condemning words? We have to be out there on the highways and byways sharing the love of God that is in Christ Jesus and the Bible is clear. NOTHING can separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:39).

Every time we get out on the road we have meetings and scheduled events as well. This time we are going to be ministering in Borlänge, Tärnsjö, Gothenburg, Halmstad and Borås. We have totally six events and these are the ones that helps us to be out there to minister to the individual people we meet anywhere. We are equipped with books, bibles and cd:s and we give away way more than we sell. I always get blessed when I receive an e-mail from someone I met on the road who got a book or a cd, or even just an encouraging word. Even more blessed and thankful I get when someone writes and let me know that he, she or someone they know got to know Jesus because of us being out on the road. It makes me thankful and amazed, amazed over that God can use someone like me. IF God can use someone like me to reach souls, He can use anyone, including YOU! It happens all the time and as we do not know, all we have to do is to trust in the Lord and pray for those seeds that are sown. We are laying the nets and most of the time there is someone else taking them up. Many times I have heard from a third party about someone who they got to lead to the Lord and somewhere on the way to the cross we one part of that way. Imagine how amazing that is, that we TOGETHER can reach souls for Jesus and people will get saved and forgiven for their sins. We can NEVER forget that we ALL are sinners and the ONLY ONE who can forgive us and save us is Jesus Christ.

Being on the road is never cheap. As I said the meetings and events are helping us to be out there in today's dark world and that is a foundation we have to stand on. The rest of the funds has to come from somewhere and as more parters we get the more we can do. To me it is not a question about me getting rich or me becoming successful. IF I had the money I would never bother looking for people to partner with us. What we do is nothing that I feel or do as a "job". This is a big part of my new life, the new life I have in Jesus Christ. IF YOU are interested to partner with us, read the information in red letters below.
