Peace,

The artist Michael Jackson died at 50 years of age.

Some say "nobody lives forever" but that is exactly what we do, if we receive Jesus into our lives, and live for Him!

Those who do not live for Christ will end up in Hell, that's only natural because nothing unclean will ever enter Heaven. Jesus makes us clean because of His sacrifice. He died in our place for our sins, that's why when God looks at a Christian He actually sees His Son Jesus Christ! I'm not saying this to frighten anybody, because anybody on this planet can receive Jesus as their saviour. It doesn't matter if you have killed a hundred people with a sledge hammer, God still loves you and wants to save you. I know it sounds crazy, but God is love. He will forgive anybody who truthfully asks for His forgiveness. We are all rotten to the core. If you think that you are a good person, then you are not very intelligent. Nobody except God is truly good.

Luke 18:19 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-except God alone.

A CAUSE WORTH LIVING FOR -

DAVID 'PACKIE' HAMILTON

At 22 the young Loyalist David Hamilton was one of those locked in a powerful cycle of violence from which release seemed impossible. Being a Loyalist meant knowing first-hand what - and usually who - was responsible behind breaking news: a bomb here, a hold-up there. His own barrister told David that he was lucky to get only 11 years! Even prison is different for terrorists: they have ways of pressurizing their inmates and gaolers (jailers). Yet even in that darkest place, God was waiting for David, whose story details his journey into freedom. This updated edition has been illustrated with black and white photos and includes the point of view of David's second wife, Sharon.

Peace,

Hi I'm back from my trip.

It was great to be in Stockholm, I really love that city and the people. The spiritual situation was a lot colder than back in the 70's.

School's out!

I was handing out my own tracts about salvation through Christ many people turned me down. It took me many hours to distribute a little bunch of the pamphlets, that would only have taken minutes in the 70's. (took me 3 days eventually what could have taken an hr in the 70’s)

When I informed them that the chicken on the cover was my own, a few people decided to receive it... Some pulled their hand back when they saw "GUD" (God) on the cover, they reacted as if the tract was on fire… I also had a sign with me that said "If you like, we can pray for you". I had a friend with me on the first day. I only got to pray with one lady on Odenplan on the first day but it was great.

Vineyard

Later I also got to pray for some other people at the Vineyard Church. The meeting there was wonderful, the praise music brought tears to my eyes because the anointing was strong. The music style (which is of no concern to me) was rock/pop.

Many seem afraid of God these days.

I guess a part of it has to do with the conduct of spiritually dead priests who don't know Christ. After all, there are evil men out there who "pretend" to be sent by God, but actually are disciples of satan. There are many ordained priests who do not believe in God, they are only in it for the money etc.

But thank God not all priests are evil

Many of my friends are evangelists and pastors who love God, and have dedicated their lives into serving Him and those around them. They have very small wages, some earn nothing at all, it's hard to understand "how" they survive. "By the grace of God" is a common answer.

I preached at

https://www.hesselby.com/kyrkor/bergskyrkan.html

in Hässelby for two days.

Stacca

The meetings went well, and the Holy Spirit moved many. I sang and played some songs of praise on my acoustic guitar and "Happy", a boogie that i wrote after finding a fine church once (Kvevlax Missionskyrka). Then I prayed for everybody who wanted intercessory prayer.

The Swedish pastor and I also met some latino evangelists that held meetings in the same church. We got to bless each others and had a good time with the Lord. My latino brothers plan to start a latino church in Finland! Afterwards pastor George Kjellberg and I attended one of their services in Spanish.

Woman gets saved!

What a meeting!

Pastor George get's blessed by Pastor Rogério as interpreter Liber rejoices.

Everybody had tambourines and they used them. They welcomed us four times during the service hugging us like we were long lost friends. They made us feel as if we were a part of their family, God bless them!

Peace,

It's finally summer here in the Arctic north!

I can never get used to this cold and dark country. I've lived in Finland since 1980, and it's cold, dark and gloomy most of the time. People kill themselves because of the dark and depressing circumstances. The suicide rate is very height in this country. I guess atheism plays a major roll in the depressive state Finns seem to be stuck in. I mean, if we a descendants of apes, then what are we living for? I can never thank God enough for slapping me around, showing me that He is real and that He truly cares about us. Sure there's disaster all around us, but that's only a logical result of our rebellion, and cold heartedness towards each other. When I was a kid I lived Down Under, mostly around Brisbane, but also in New South Wales. Australia was a nice country, with fruit trees all over the place and cool beaches. I loved every minute of it except for school. Many teachers were absolute Hitler's.

When they came to school in the mornings they often beat us, because they were angry at their wives or whatever. They pretended that it was for our own edification, bastards. I have forgiven them though, but they certainly darkened my towel. Sometimes I pretended to be sick so that I wouldn't have to go to school and get bullied by my teacher! I used to like school, but the teacher put me off. As a result I started hating school instead. I wish they wouldn't employ any fool with a degree like they tend to do. There is not much justice in this world, people in power will push your buttons as long as you live. That's why it's great to know God. When He fills your heart, all these worldly problems disappear. It's true, nothing much bothers me any more.

Most of my problems are unimportant in the BIG picture, so I don't think much about them.

I try to focus more on God. I love to see Him heal people when I pray for them. It makes me feel so small to see and realize what He is doing. And what an enormous impact one little prayer might have. For instance, you lead a person to God. A few weeks later her whole family is saved, and she is working in the ministry, leading hordes of people to the Lord! Talk about snow ball FX. This week end I'll be going to Stockholm, to pray for people and preach some. I can't wait to see what God is going to do! I'll be there for about 2 weeks, if nothing weird happens. You never know with God, every day is a miracle in it's own right.
