What is on My Mind?

Hi every­one,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

It´s been a while since I last updated this blog and I am sorry about that. I pray that you will still check it our once in a while and that the Lord Jesus Christ gives me grace to write here more often to tell you what He does for us here in Mora­vian Falls. We´ve been to 3 con­fer­ences since last time I wrote here. Two of them we hosted here in Mora­vian Falls and one we hosted in Franklin, Ten­nessee. When I say we I mean Gary Oates Min­istries with staff and interns.

The first con­fer­ence we had here that Sanna and I was a part of was “Chart­ing the Course in Chang­ing Times” and the speak­ers were Gary Oates, Bobby Con­ner and Rafaela Sil­veira. It was great to be a part of it all and have the oppor­tu­nity to lis­ten to them all preach and teach. It was great fun! It was the first time I met Bobby Con­ner and it was very inspir­ing. It made me want to learn scrip­tures like he does. I don´t think he opened the Bible at all dur­ing his ses­sions but I prob­a­bly quoted more than 50 verses to us. It´s pretty amaz­ing!

I Am a Friend of God

Jesus loves me and calls me His friend:
Just read this in John 15:12–17 (New King James Version)

12 This is My com­mand­ment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do what­ever I com­mand you. 15 No longer do I call you ser­vants, for a ser­vant does not know what his mas­ter is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that what­ever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I com­mand you, that you love one another.

Jesus wants you to know Him. He wants to spend time with you. This is some­thing that have caught my atten­tion the last week. I really want to be Jesus´ friend. He wants to pro­vide for all my needs and I want to be close enough to Him to rely on Him always. And I want to lean on Him always just like we can read about in Song of Solomon 8:5 (NKJV)

Who is this com­ing up from the wilder­ness,
Lean­ing upon her beloved?

I´m telling you right now, that I´m the one com­ing up from the wilder­ness lean­ing on my beloved Jesus Christ. I will not be ashamed of my beloved again. I love Him and He loves me!

This is one of the promises we have in Psalm 91, v.1–2 (NKJV):

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

So that´s where I want to be; in the secret place of the Most High.

I just wanted to share with you what´s on my heart. Seek Jesus with all your heart and he will let you find Him accord­ing to Jere­miah 29:13-14a

13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD

BLESS YOU!!!
