My name is Pontus J. Back and I am a delivered alcoholic. "Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic".
Thats what people in my world like to hear!
WHY would I say stuff like that when I am a new creation in Christ Jesus? For those who wont believe in the word of God this is stupid and they can not understand as they do not have a spiritual life at all. All they have are demons and evil spirits not only around them but also inside of them. This is their side and I am not allowed to say stuff like this.
We are now in a time when we see lots of tragedy in the world. For example what recently happened in Haiti where hundreds of thousaunds of people were killed. People wont see the spiritual reality of anything, not even people that claim they are Christians.
About a week ago I got treated really bad when I was taking care of some stuff at the local hospital. They called me an alcoholic and blamed me for things that they dont know anything about. It is so easy to blame other people, especially those who have had issues and have been struggling with different stuff. This has to stop!
Last week I also visited the local prison and gave my testimony to the prisoners. My first taught came to how the people outside the prison are going to meet these people when they are getting out again. Even Christians are walking circles around us "criminals" and are badmouthing us behind ur back if they do not have balls to shoot us straight. What did Jesus say to the robber at the cross next to Him when he asked Jesus to think about him when he gets to heaven? Did Jesus say: - You are a looser, you are going to hell? No! Jesus said: - Tonight you are going to be with me in paradise! That is how big Gods grace is!
I just feel that Christianity and the body of Christ need to repent and change. So many people are within their own comfort zones heating up the seats in the church. What about going out with the gospel? Is that just for the "evangelists" and the "radicals"? No, it is for all of us! I just would like you all to think about what Jesus gave us when He died at the cross. What authority He gave us to use! Like Reinhard Bonnke said during the Fire conference in Cape Town a while ago, the spiritual gifts are not something we should wear as medals on our vests. These gifts are tools for us when we go out and do what GOD called us to do. I would like to see some more action from the body of Christ in this last time. When HE returns it is too late.
I might me struggling with personal stuff in my life but I live with the knowledge that GOD is with me all the time and that I can perform the same miracles as JESUS did while walking on earth, when I am in Him. Again, this is foolishness for those who wont believe or accept the gospel. The time has come when it is time for us to get hungry, thirsty and desperate for more of God and less of ourselves. When we get this revelation that GOD IS LOVE we automatically will go out and meet all the people with LOVE. What is done without love is worth nothing.
Things are taking place in my life and I might be hurt. This wont stop me from doing what I am called to do and actually I am looking forward to the coming meetings this week in Rauma. I am looking forward to face hundreds of students in the high school of Kalajoki the week after that. No matter what, I am going to preach until HE comes. I am feeling that raw faith right now and when I am small GOD is big. My faith and my strength is in HIM and I am not longer an alcoholic, I am a child of God!
My life changed after I gave my life to the Lord and you can do the same thing. This is highly recommended as the Bible says that He that believes and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believes not shall be damned (Mark 16:16)
YOU can get saved today, you dont have to wait for a meeting or the priest to come to your resque. Open your heart and say following prayer and you are saved. If you decide to do so, please let me know who you are and where you are so we can pray for you and help you go further on your walk with the Lord.
"Dear God I know I'm a sinner, I know I am not where I want to be, and I want your forgiveness! I believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for my sins. Please wash me clean from all sin, shame, and guilt and come into my life to be my Lord and Savior. I ask and receive this in Jesus name, Amen!"
