Benjamin Antell's thoughts

Faith is almost dead in Europe, at the same time that miracles happen all over the place. Many people including myself, see miracles in the streets, at clubs and whatever. A few true Christians have started acting on Jesus' commands, healing the sick, driving out demons etc. while the Lutheran priests compromise with the world in their religious folly and rituals.

The biggest problem in the churches today is the fact that we never practice what we preach. People just come to church and sit there gobbling down information year after year, but they never use the info. People just go to church once per week and stuff themselves with info. What's the point in that?

Jesus wants to heal people on the spot as we witness to them about His power. Don't hold back, don't be afraid, just obey Christ and you too will see miracles happen in front of your eyes.

When we sanctify our lives and draw even closer to God, our lives will change again, even if we already know the Lord!

I can't possibly explain the supernatural peace and bliss I have inside. Never knew it could be like this, and it's been like this for years now.

Talked to a woman the other day who told me that she could not possibly stop knitting... Just because I have given up all worldly pleasures, she thought that she would have too. It's not necessarily like that, even if it can be. But then again if knitting is more important than a relationship with God, then she will probably have to do a whole lot of weird knitting in Hell. If we choose some worldly thing over God, then that becomes an idol, and nobody who worships idols will ever see the kingdom of God.

I was stubborn too I guess, I did and didn't want to give up everything. I took some of the things that Holy Spirit said, as recommendations, even though I should have know better. If God says something, He surely means every word!

I still don't listen to worldly music, because now I can't even stand it. It makes my Spirit sad to hear it, so I can't bring myself to listen to it. To my ears it is nothing but worthless junk. The same goes for most worldly entertainment, it does not work for me any more. When the light in you gets stronger, you see rubbish that you never really noticed before. That's just how it is.

I asked God for a stronger thirst for more of Him and He answered :-) I'm so happy. I also asked Him for greater wisdom, better character etc. He really does listen and gives us what we ask for, as long as it's in line with His wishes. I get very happy just talking about it. Now He started whacking me again :-)

Man I love this supernatural life, it's so cool. Still I know I'm only scratching the surface, but I'm happy with whatever I can get! I'm constantly asking for more, God tells us to nag until we get what we need. I urge you to pray, pray and pray, never give up!

If you would like to try Jesus for yourself, say this prayer from your heart, it will change your life! God loves you, just as He loves every man who walks this Earth!

Rom 10:9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus [as] Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

"Heavenly Father, forgive me my sins. Jesus I believe that you are the only son of God and that you died in my place, please save me now, come into my heart, and take over my life. Amen".

If you seriously said the prayer, you are saved! For we are save by grace and nothing else, we can come as we are! Now thank Jesus for saving you.

The Bible tells us to work hard on our salvation, this does not mean that we are to run around doing good, but that we should obey Holy Spirit as He speaks to us! We should also keep the commandments of God and the commands of Jesus Christ, to preach the Gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons. We also have authority over death (in Jesus name), so we can wake people from the dead whenever Holy Spirit tells us to do so.

Welcome to the family! Check out god.TV on TV or the Internet, it is full of good spiritual guidance. xpmedia.com is very good too. Your life will change for the better!

(Naturally, not all preachers are good, just because they are on god.TV), use your brain as you watch, compare what they say, to see if it lines up with God's Word! Another very important thing: we should never criticize our sisters and brothers outside the church! If we feel that we have to correct somebody, it HAS to happen in church and not publicly. We should never launder our differences before the world, that is stupid according to Gods word!

God didn't intend for all of us to become filthy rich on Earth. Naturally, there might be some generous people on Earth, who may be blessed in this way, since God treats us all individually. But I don't believe for a second, that all Christians are meant to roll in cash...simply for our own pleasures. That would be pointless and silly.

I don't believe that we should hoard our money in the bank, but to put it to good use. God will bless those who think of others, like the famous painter Van Gogh did. He gave his money etc. to the poor miners of Borinage, where he worked as an evangelist (between paintings). This is another fact, which is rarely (if ever) mentioned in art books due to our atheistic society.

We read in the Old Testament how he was tested by the devil and lost everything. Because he was faithful to the Lord, everything was restored to him + he became filthy rich :-) Why? Because God blessed him.

Rom 10:13 for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Naturally, your life needs to change, if you've received Christ. We can't go on living in sin, like we did before we met God. But anyway, everything starts with the little prayer. It has worked for me and many of my friends. Let God take over, and don't fret, He will take care of you, trust the Lord!

You are now ready to receive Mr. Holy Spirit (if He hasn't already descended on you)! He is a person, sent by God to be your Helper. Spirit filled born again Christians can pray for you to receive Him. Your life will never be the same!

I call Him Mr. Holy Spirit sometimes, because most people don't seem to know that He is a person as well as Spirit.

Holy Spirit will give you a prayer language, so if you feel like there's something bubbling inside you, just open your mouth and speak whatever sounds Holy Spirit is giving you. The prayer language is called "tongues", it can be a Heavenly language or an earthly one, it all depends. I have many different ones, I've noticed that it changes a lot, from time to time. One Finnish girl that I prayed for received english as her prayer language, go figure.

Some people even claim that you can't pray or talk to Holy Spirit, I beg to differ. God the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit are ONE, so you can pray to any one of the three.

But it's logical to pray to the Father in Jesus' name. When I pray for people, Holy Spirit and I have an ongoing dialogue during prayer. We speak to each other all day, but even more intensely during prayer, since He then directs me.

Mar 16:17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;

Tts 3:5 not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of Holy Spirit,

PS, I sometimes highlight words in the scriptures that I quote. Always check your own Bible to confirm God's word!

I'm not trying to put anyone down with my Write, I'm just trying to convey what God has put on my heart I also feel that that life is too short, to just shut up and go with the flow, when people suffer under all kinds of bondage, and could in fact be set free in Christ.

If you find my write helpful, or disgusting in any way please let me know, you can drop me an e-mail. Remember to use a correct "subject" so that my spam turkey won't gobble it down.
