Folks,
Just some thoughts about the future!
In this vision a saw a Christian rock record in front of me where I shared parts of my life with my music and it took two years of patience before the record could become true. First I said to God that IF HE wanted me to play my guitar again I would do it for HIM. HE gave me my gift back and I tried to do the record in my own strength but without success. When GOD said GO it all became reality and this vision became truth. GOD took care of everything related to the recordings and the release of the record. HE even wrote most of the songs together with me.
I have tried to join forces with several people and bands to play rock music for HIS glory but this have been in my/our own strength. Nothing has really worked out until this year when I stood up and played the songs from my album together with a band in Stockholm, Sweden. GOD showed me different things regarding this and told me straight that my identity is NOT in rock music but in HIM. First I thought that it would never become reality to combine my ministry with rock and roll but more and more GOD have been sending people and visions this way about how HE is preparing things for me. Something is going on and I know that nothing is possible in my own strength and without GOD being in it.
Yesterday I had a strange feeling when I listened to music again and I am praying about wisdom from my Lord about things. First I thought I let the devil in with listening to secular music but in the middle of the night I wake up hearing the devil being mad telling me NOT to get out there playing rock and roll for Jesus. I know GOD has something going on about this but before I do anything further I am going to make sure I hear GOD speak to me and telling me exactly what to do and when. I might have to wait another 20 years or it might be right around the corner. It is not longer up to me, it is all up to GOD and one thing is for sure: I am NOT going to let religion or peoples thoughts about rock and roll being from the devil stop me to use my gift and the music! It is all about reaching souls for Jesus!
Those who say rock and roll is from the devil are more lost than they think they are!
The near future:
Soon it is time to be at the Ostrobothnia Exhibition again and we are short of money as usual for the boot at the exhibition. Last two years we have been there giving away Bibles and telling people about our Lord, Jesus Christ. We have seen many people accepting HIM into their lifes getting totally new hope in life. If you are able to help us write to me and I direct you to the right person who is handling the finances.
At end of the month I am going to the middle part of the country to do FIVE lessons in a school about what Jesus have done in my life. This is a door that I have been praying for to open up, the door into the schools. Our youth need more of Jesus and less drugs and alcohol. The same night april 30th I will have a meeting in the pentecostal church of Toivakka (Toivakan Helluntaiseurakunta) and the next day, may 1st I will be doing a concert in Keuruu.
GOD is on a move and I am excited about the future! Thank you for praying for me and my family and our ministry. We are moving in the right direction and please keep praying.
Love you all!
Pontus
