Velsigning frå himmelen ved trua på Jesus.

Picture: Arnstein Andersen, in another occasion.

Go in ready-made works, with a liberating message.

In a message that came in the fall of 2008, Jesus spoke of the word that I have taken into my mouth, it is spirit and life and it is a liberating message, I believe it was intended that I have spoken and written so many times about Paul’s teaching that Christ is the head of man and the man is the head of his wife and in this way Jesus is the head of the church, which is his bride. He called me to go with this liberating message and I should experience that on the inner level I was his co-worker. Quote from

There were two Bible texts in particular that I had been thinking about lately, and when I got into the car and was about to drive to the meeting, I told myself and God that I could well imagine reading these two texts at the meeting, if there was a chance for free testimony, but I also said that it was a bit much to bring up in a regular testimony meeting.

My presentation/testimony.

When the preacher, Arnstein Andersen, entered the lectern, he opened for free testimony first. I went forward and read from the following chapter:

1. Cor.3,5 5 The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given. 
6 I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase. 
7 Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 
8 Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, ate one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour. 
9 For we are God’s coadjutors: you are God’s husbandry; you are God’s building. 
10 According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 
11 For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus. 
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble: 
13 Every man’s work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work, of what sort it is. 
14 If any man’s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 
15 If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire. 
16 Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you ? 
17 But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are. 
18 Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness. 
20 And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 
21 Let no man therefore glory in men. 
22 For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to some; for all are yours; 
23 And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.

Eccl.3,1 All things have their season, and in their times all things pass under heaven. 
2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. 
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal. A time to destroy, and a time to build. 
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh. A time to mourn, and a time to dance. 
5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather. A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. 
6 A time to get, and a time to lose. A time to keep, and a time to cast away. 
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew. A time to keep silence, and a time to speak. 
8 A time of love, and a time of hatred. A time of war, and a time of peace. 
9 What hath man more of his labour? 
10 I have seen the trouble, which God hath given the sons of men to be exercised in it. 
11 He hath made all things good in their time, and hath delivered the world to their consideration, so that man cannot flnd out the work which God hath made from the beginning to the end. 
12 And I have known that there was no better thing than to rejoice, and to do well in this life. 
13 For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God. 
14 I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared. 

In 1 Cor. 3 I did not include verses 5 and 18-23. I just said that it is about wisdom and Solomon was a wise man and then I started reading from Ecclesiastes, where I skipped verses 5-8. There was a lot that Solomon had managed to build, but we know how it went, it was all demolished, and Jesus said that there would not be left one stone upon another and that was after the temple had been rebuilt. It is possible that Solomon saw it in his mind how it would go, a time to build, a time to tear down, everything is futile, but then he also said that God had put eternity in the human heart and everything God does lasts forever, we can add nothing or take nothing away. We all have our daily struggles, what we struggle with, will eventually all perish, but God’s Word is eternal and the work God does with his. Jesus has said that he is with us. We are God’s fellow workers and then we must cooperate. When we build on the foundation with wood, hay and straw, it will be consumed by the fire, it will perish, but when we build with gold, silver and precious stones, it will stand, it symbolizes the eternal. And Solomon said that the work that God does stands forever.

Speech by Arnstein.

Then Arnstein spoke about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and read from John 14 & 16. He also read 1.Ti.4,12-14 and said that we all have a gift of grace to take care of.

1.Ti,4,12 Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity. 
13 Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. 
14 Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. 

Message through interpretation of tongues.

At the end of the meeting, he invited intercession and a woman came forward. Inger-Johanne Vik also came forward and helped pray for her and she spoke in tongues which the preacher interpreted. This was for the woman who was interceding and was somewhat low and difficult to hear. Mp3 recording.

Message 1:

“You must know that I love you. I touch you (not just in your body, I)? touch you (in your spirit)? spirit and you will experience …. that I am the Lord in your life. I will send people your way. You will be allowed to be an instrument for my spirit. …. the word that says you are redeemed, you are free, you are healed, yes, the word that I have spoken which is spirit and life, will do a work in man and you will experience and see that I who am the Lord your redeemer, I am also your healer. And you will be allowed to be an instrument for me, so be bold, trust in the Word, do not trust in your understanding or the wisdom of men. But let the Word be allowed to be the guideline for your life. And you will experience and know that I work a miracle…. Be bold.”

Then Inger-Johanne came with speech in tongues again, which the speaker interpreted from the pulpit and I understood it as an answer to what I had said, Mp3 recording:

Message 2:

The word I have spoken and the word that you have surrounded yourself with, and used and taken into your mouth for many years, it is spirit and it is life. The word that I have spoken, says the Lord, speaks what it says. It redeems people, it sets the afflicted free, it creates freedom and health and wellness and salvation, where it comes forth and is received. And you will experience it, my child, that when you enter into my word again, when you enter into the foundation of the word, says the Lord, and begin to move in the Holy Spirit, you will experience that the power is the same as it was in your youth. You have long been discouraged, says the Lord, you have long been discouraged and lived a withdrawn existence, in relation to going into ready-made deeds, but you should know that he who waits on the Lord and trusts in him will receive new strength. And you will experience moving as in ancient times, you will be allowed to feel that your heart runs like a deer. You will be allowed to experience that you are on the inner level in partnership with me, says the Lord. And you will see wonderful things, says the Lord, when you are willing to walk on the path that I set out for you. Man devises his own way, but the Lord directs its course. And you will experience that when the Word is allowed to speak through you and move you, says the Lord, then you will see that wonders and signs also happen in your midst. I am who I have said I am and I have made myself dependent on man, man who is obedient, man who does not care about his own, but who is willing to walk in the Holy Spirit. You shall be allowed to know that my word is spirit and it is life and there is healing where it goes forth. Be bold and put on the strength that I have given you. You are forced to start moving yourself, says the Lord, that is clear to you. But I am waiting for you to start moving and I will be with you, says the Lord. It will be I who carry you, says the Lord, you will stop walking around blindly and carry me, I will carry you. You shall be allowed to know that I am the one I have spoken in my own word. I am a shadow at your right hand and my word shall be the word that you speak. And you shall be allowed to know and experience that there is life and there is an abundance of life. Amen.

The Word of God is like a seed that He sows in our hearts, so that it will grow and bear fruit. When the Word merges with us in our hearts by faith, we can enter into God’s rest (Heb.3-4). We become like seeds that He sows in the world, so that it will grow and bear fruit. This is how it is His field. We can be God’s co-workers, but the most fundamental thing is that God does His work, through His Word and His Spirit and creates something perfect that will last forever.

Life was planted in us by the Word of God and it will grow, so that we grow up to Him who is the head of the body, which is the church of Jesus, his bride.

Eph.4,9 Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. 
11 And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors, 
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 
13 Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ; 
14 That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive 
15 But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ: 
16 From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
