We have now been home after our month long trip of Europe. We also have been a trip to Sweden and picked up our Rock Force One van that broke down there. We also got the Saab that broke down in Latvia home so we are trying to fix as much as possible ourselves as having others to work on your cars is very expensive. Still it is therapy for me to work and learn new things as I work. Also I feel that my spirit is open to listen to what God has to say when my brain and hands are activated and the Lord has been pretty clear to me the last month or so.
I say like David Wilkerson once said. It is time for the prosperity preachers to pick up their Bibles and start to read it. I am fed up with prosperity preachers and a false Gospel as I want to follow Jesus Christ. I have seen many things from the first row and these are serious things. I do not want to stand there before God one day because I lived a luxury life, traveled in first class and stayed at the most expensive hotels with funds people donated. I totally believe that God wants to bless us but He wants to bless us so that we can be blessings to others.
God can bless us in many different ways and I am blessed. According to the word of God I already have all the blessings of heaven. I am blessed with a second chance in life. I am blessed with a new life in Him. I am blessed to be sober and clean. I am blessed with a wonderful family.I am blessed with so many wonderful sisters and brothers around the world. I am blessed with so many things that can not be bought with money or anything of this world. I am blessed with a testimony about what Jesus is able to do. I am blessed with the gift of music. I am blessed to be alive! I am blessed so that I can be a blessing to others and that is what I want to be.
Too many christians are trying to please people. At the end of the day it honestly does not matter what people think. The only thing that matters is what Jesus thinks. I know I fall short time after time but I also know that Jesus knows my heart. I am blessed with this knowledge. I do not have to boast or try to make an impact on people talking about how good or ”anointed I am”. I am blessed to not have to make up stories about my missions trips as God has blessed me with the truth. I am blessed to not be part of any religious system or specific denomination as I have the heavenly blessings and I am blessed to be part of the body of Christ. I am blessed to have pastors, evangelists and preachers bear false witness against me as it is a blessing to see that as a sign that I am doing something right in my imperfection. I am blessed to know that I am far away from perfect and I am blessed to know that Jesus is changing me according to HIS will day by day. I am blessed that there is forgiveness when I need forgiveness. I am blessed to be alive.
This is what is on my heart. I am blessed to take some time off this month and spend time with my family. We will be back with some details about Sweden later this summer as well as some other countries in the fall including the regular trip to USA mid October to early December.
Have a wonderful summer! Remember that you are blessed!
Pontus
