WE DO HAVE THE POWER!

Things come up and things change. After two wonderful days in Vårgårda, Sweden at an USA car meet and a wonderful evening with LP in Tibro, Sweden, Sebastian took me to the airport in Stockholm and dropped me off there.

Pastor Tommy Lilja called me on Sunday and wondered if I could join his team on a TLM (Tommy Lilja Ministries) Gospel Crusade in Ndola, Zambia and I am glad that my wife agreed with me that I should go. I flew from Stockholm, Sweden to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia via Rome, Italy and from Addis Ababa to Ndola, Zambia.

Thursday night the crusade started and it was a massive crowd as usual on these TLM crusades. For four nights I was serving alongside with Pastor Tommy and his team and I heard people on Facebook say ”why in the world would you like to go there?”. Well, first of all it is time for the christians to leave their comfort zones and go out and preach the Gospel to the whole world.

All nights we saw multitudes of people received Jesus Christ into their lives, the greatest miracle of them all. Every night we saw the power of God work and as I have seen this many times with my own eyes I personally think it is foolish to say that ”this power” ended with the first apostles. There are some conservative churches out there that are dangerous as they take the life out of the word of God, the Gospel.

A few of the miracles we saw was a blind woman who got her eye sight back and she said she could ”see people”. A man who could not walk was healed and he was dancing and jumping around the stage. Most likely the same way as the lame man at the gate beautiful we read about in the Bible. A young boy, around 8-9 years of age who was deaf and dumb first started to hear. Pastor Tommy continued praying for him and on Friday night this wonderful little boy said his first words ever. I should not forget to mention the multitude of people who were delivered from evil spirits and demons. Witchcraft is very rooted in the area we were in and these spirits can not stand the presence of Jesus so they start to manifest. Thousands of people were carried to the deliverance tents where the local churches casted out these in Jesus name. Don’t tell be that there are no evil spirits or demons. It is truly a spiritual reality we are living in. I think the biggest evil spirit we have in the western world is the spirit of religion and this is something that has to change. We HAVE the POWER in the name of Jesus.

I have known Pastor Tommy now since 2010 and I thank God for him. He is my mentor and good friend and he is a man of God. When his team comes to a place and have a crusade, the crusade is not over when we leave. That is just a start. TLM Ministries are working with many churches on all the places they have their crusades and the important part is the follow up. Pastor Tommy has dedicated his life to this and it is hard work to preach night after night and train leaders during daytime. Some people might think it is easy but I can testify that it is not easy at all. It is hard work but the result is awesome. Thousands of lives are changed and there are a party in heaven.

Right now I am sitting at the airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on my way home. Africa is in my heart but I can’t wait to get home to see my family. I will have a couple of weeks off at home and a few meetings in Finland before we go out on our next trip.

July 6th me and Sebastian are leaving again for the largest American car meet in the world in Västerås, Sweden. 100 000 people and around 20 000 cars. We are going to be there to spread the gospel through music and the word of God. As it looks right now Sebastian is dropping me off at the airport in Stockholm as I might do another trip to Zambia with Pastor Tommy and I am actually looking forward to it. The trips and the crusades are faith raising and I am praying for boldness to start to pray for people more in Finland, Sweden, Germany, USA and where ever we are.

We have decided to change the studio to finish the work of the ”Hope” album because of different reasons. I am thankful to God to work with hit maker Jan Hyöty at Sugarhouse from now on and the new mixes are already rocking. We hope to release the record this fall and we hope to return to Germany mid September for a short tour and release.

We are currently planning our trip to the US in November and of course we are going to base out of our home in Okeechobee, Florida. God is opening doors and we are most likely going to visit Oklahoma, Arizona and Texas next trip. God is expanding our territory and we are living in exciting times. The best of all is that we see God change peoples lives and that is what it is all about. It is all about Jesus!

God Bless You All!

Greetings from Ethiopia!
