Peace,

Oh how I wish that my friends would try Jesus and see that He is exactly whom He claims to be!

Life is so wonderful. The joy in my heart many would kill for, if they even knew. I really don't understand how I can be this happy every single day, it is a supernatural joy, that's for sure! It's really weird to say the least. I never knew life with Jesus could be like this.

When I met Him for the first time I was over the moon, but now I'm even higher than that. I'm like over Neptune or Pluto if you will, wohooo! I don't know how this is possible. God is truly AMAZING! Jesus is mentioned a lot in the Old Testament.

It's very clear that OT talks about Jesus like in Proverbs 8, where He goes under the name Wisdom.

Verse 22-36...22

“The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,

before his deeds of old;

I was appointed from eternity,

from the beginning, before the world began.

When there were no oceans, I was given birth,

when there were no springs abounding with water;

before the mountains were settled in place,

before the hills, I was given birth,

before he made the earth or its fields

or any of the dust of the world.

I was there when he set the heavens in place,

when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

when he established the clouds above

and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

when he gave the sea its boundary

so the waters would not overstep his command,

and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

Then I was the craftsman at his side.

I was filled with delight day after day,

rejoicing always in his presence,

rejoicing in his whole world

and delighting in mankind.

“Now then, my sons, listen to me;

blessed are those who keep my ways.

Listen to my instruction and be wise;

do not ignore it.

Blessed is the man who listens to me,

watching daily at my doors,

waiting at my doorway.

For whoever finds me finds life

and receives favor from the Lord.

But whoever fails to find me harms himself;

all who hate me love death.”

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Don't let the devil, tradition and religion fool you!

There are no peaceful religions on planet Earth!

They are all violent. Some religious people pretend to be peaceful and tolerant, but as soon as Jesus Christ is mention as God, the party dies! Since religions are the devil's spawn, they cannot be good. Christianity is a Relationship!

Buddhists fight each other and others like wild cats, Muslims fight almost everybody who are non-muslims, even within their own group (Sunni versus Shia), Some who "call" themselves Christians also fight others, Catholics, Orthodox, Atheists, Communists, evolutionists, Capitalists, Wiccans… You name is everybody is violent. All religions suck big time.

When I met God for real, He downloaded lots of knowledge into my limited brain.

One thing that I suddenly understood was the fact that all religions are evil. God does not like religions one bit. No religion or ritual can save a man, not a single one.

All God wants is for us to have a personal relationship with Him!

Jesus God's Son came to Earth as spirit, to be born as a man in order to save us from death, by sacrificing His own blood in our place. Jesus could have said no, but lucky for us He honored the Father (who is also spirit), by drinking the bitter cup of death.

After Jesus rose from the dead and gave us "directions before we leave earth", He left to be with the Father for a while. And he sent Holy Spirit to us from the Father, since He knew that we would be lost without the Teacher and Helper!

We can ask anything of Holy Spirit in Jesus' name.

He will direct us when we take carry our own cross in Jesus name. We need to give up our own lives for God, if we want happiness. I know this to be true, because I have gone through all kinds of garbage on my way to bliss.

Bliss is only possible through Christ!

Since I began living for God and others, because I love God, He blessed me and gave me a supernatural joy that I never knew was possible. Since July 2 years ago I have been happy every second! Nothing seems to bother me, no matter what. I'm so happy it's crazy.

His joy can be yours too!

Peace can come in an instant, but you might have to work to get there. Be faithful when Holy Spirit asks you to do seemingly insignificant stuff. If you are true in small matters, God will bless you with more important things.

I love God so much that nothing is boring, except fasting, but I do that too now and then, because it is so powerful. If you need answers, fast, and they will come more quickly through fasting , going without food. At least that's how it works for me. I have fasted 1-30 days. Som fast even longer periods.

Before I met God, Jesus and Holy Spirit I was bored to death, now my life is exciting all the time. Every day is a new surprise, I have no idea what God want's me to do tomorrow…as yet.

Don't let the devil, tradition and religion fool you!

Peace,

I've prayed with people for many years and I have found that most people tend to run away from God when they have sinned or made a mistake.

This is so wrong!

When we mess up we should run TO God instead, because He loves us always! God will NOT get angry with you for messing up, instead He wants to forgive and comfort you if you ask Him too. We are allowed to make mistakes!

We seem to forget that God is LOVE.

He has always loved us and always will. There is always forgiveness for us, whenever we ask. Just ask and see what happens, God loves you like there's no tomorrow.

Just thought I'd mention one kinda complicate mystery.

I have been happy every second since July 2 years ago. When you are really close to God, stuff happens, happiness was one of the most fantastic miracles in my life.

Since it happened I have twice been in kind of depressing situations, but still I have been able to maintain my happiness in spite of the drama.

It's kinda strange but nothing really gets to me. It's so wonderful I can hardly believe it's true. It's as if I am on a higher level somehow, my reality has shifted somehow, it's as if I have grown up "again". (althoug not fully grown)

photo © Benjamin Antell

It was one thing to grow from a child to an adult, and now I feel as if I have take a step reminiscent of the "child to adult", but I don't know what to call this new step, but I feel like a completely new man. I guess with God nothing is impossible.

Peace, man it's fun to pray for people.

So many get healed, even some who don't even believe in God. It was the same for Jesus, He normally healed people right off the bat. Afterwards they wanted to get saved. That's how it is, it's when people see that God can still perform, that they get interested in Him, which is only natural.

We often spend too much time in church or in front of the computer, when we really should be out in the streets.

Who is going to tell people about Christ if the Christian don't? They can't find God if we don't show them the way. Most people leave Jesus until last on their list, by the time they get to Him it's often too late. Eastern religions have slain millions of searchers, since no religion can save a man.

Jesus is the only name in the Universe

that can save a lost soul!

That's just the way it is, He told me so a long time ago. It's in the Bible by the way: If you are going to start reading the Bible, begin with the New Testament. I think it's more easy to understand the Old Testament if you read the New one first. And after all the New Testament was given to the Christians and the Old Testament to the Jews. Both are valid of course, but the old rules about food a rituals don't apply to Christians, nor the 10% offerings which were more like a tax in the old days in Israel. Naturally we need to be generous though.

The New Testament is about love, while the Old Testament is about LAW. There's a major difference between the two. Because of Jesus we no longer have to do any of the old rituals that God gave the Jews in the Torah, Tanach. In Jesus there is freedom!

PS. Don't forget Haiti, they still need help! I did a couple of gigs collecting cash for them. I bet many musicians could do stuff like that... Every buck counts.

Peace,

We often "guess" our way through life. "hmmm it must be like this, or that"... "yes, possibly".

Then we stick to our own silly ideas, INSTEAD of asking Holy Spirit. I was a complete fool in that respect, when I was younger. Now I'm more careful on what to share. I am in constant conversation with Holy Spirit, man it's FUN!

I can't get over how exciting my life in Christ is.

When I began pressing in again, He met me and now just about anything can happen. It's fun to do fall free every day.

Some Christians don't believe in supernatural things, this is because they have been misled to believe that religion is God.

Traditions and theology can really stifle a person.

If you really want to see God in action, you have to press in, you have to have a strong hunger and thirst for more! If you feel like you don't have the energy, you can ask God to give it to you! It's silly how prepared He is to help our lazy bones. I guess He just loves us to bits.

A priest that I talked to likes to suffer with those who suffers, which is ok, but to only suffer is not good. There is joy in the Lord!

God can lift people out of suffering. It's weird how some people want to play martyrs. They get a weird sense of false satisfaction out of collective suffering.

Many Christians don't even believe in evil spirits, even though Jesus commanded us to cast them out of people. Instead they just pray meaningless BS prayers while they "suffer" with the afflicted. I wish God would kick their butts and wake them up! I cast out evil spirits on a daily basis when needed. And I love seeing people set free from all kinds of garbage. Wohooo! God is good!

Don't let the devil, tradition and religion fool you!
