No. 1639:

As King Saul behaved towards his son Jonathan, so does the Planning and Building Authority behave towards us!

Why is there lying and gossip about everything?

Why is a stable society broken up in this way?
When Satan and his demons work in people.
So it is not always with self-harm, harming others, screaming and extreme behavior.
It is also with denying people food, having a wall and being punished for it.
The scripture also says that refusing others to marry is also demonic activity.
1 Tim. 4. 1 But the Spirit clearly indicates that in later times some will abandon the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.
2 They are lying hypocrites, with their consciences seared as with a branding iron.
3 They forbid people to marry and give in marriage and abstain from food that God created so that we who have the correct knowledge of the truth should receive it with thanksgiving and faithfulness.
King Saul forbade the people food, it was an action that the demons that triggered him throughout his life. Which influenced him to do so.
But Jonathan his son ate – honey – and he won a great victory!

 

Rom. 15. 4 What was written aforetime, should be our instruction, so that we through endurance, and with the comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope.

God himself says that what is written in the word of God, was written for our instruction, so that we might have endurance. Comfort and should recognize that what we are going through is the same as the saints of old have experienced.

Therefore, it is so in all situations and settings that we as believers have, we will find one or more passages of scripture in the Bible that will relate to what we are going through.

It is the same God we believe in today that the men and women of the Bible believed in.
We have the same Satan and his demons to fight against.
The situation is not that much different, as we humans are exactly the same as we were 1000 years ago or more.

We are now 3000 years back in time with King Saul and his son Jonathan!

This is a tough battle between Israel and their enemies the Philistines that begins in 1 Samuel 13 and ends in chapter 14.

Where Israel finally wins the victory because of Saul's son Jonathan.

It begins with several skirmishes where the Philistines press Israel, so that the fighting becomes prolonged.

We read in 1 Sam. 13. 16 And Saul and his son Jonathan and the people who were with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, and the Philistines were camping at Michmash.

17 Then a company went out from the camp of the Philistines to raid; It was divided into three companies; one company went to Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
18 and the other company went to Beth-horon, and the third company went to the city that overlooks the Valley of Zeboim, which overlooks the wilderness.
19 Now there was no blacksmith to be found in all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, “The Hebrews can make swords or spears for themselves.”
20 And all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plowshares, mattocks, axes, and mattocks sharpened,
21 and to sharpen the edges of the plowshares, mattocks, mattocks, and axes, or to sharpen the goads.
22 So it came to pass on the day of battle that there was not a sword or spear found among all the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; only Saul and Jonathan his son had such weapons.

The reason for this was that the blacksmith had been removed from Israel, as a tactic of the Philistines.

Where only Saul and Jonathan had the tools of war intact.
The leadership was with King Saul, but he was more concerned with his own ambitions and his own circumstances. Than that Israel was equipped for battle.
He himself had swords and spears as it should be.
And his son Jonathan, but no one else.

We read further in chapter 14.
1 Sam. 14. 1 Now it happened one day that Jonathan, Saul's son, said to the young man who carried his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side!" But he did not tell his father.
2 Saul was then staying in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree in Migron, and the people who were with him were about six hundred men;
3 And Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, was there at that time, wearing the ephod. But the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

Here we see that Jonathan had now gone away from the others

 

 He saw his way to make a difference, where he could make use of the tools he had. And certainly, they were only two and would not be seen by the enemy as quickly as a whole crowd – army – would be.
He had not told anyone, not even his Father.

In this first attack from Jonathan he managed to kill 20 Philistines, which caused it to create enormous fear among them.
But they were by no means defeated.
We read on.

1 Sam. 14. 24 Now the men of Israel were very tired that day, and Saul had made the people swear, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats any food until evening, before I have been avenged on my enemies!” And none of the people tasted any food.
25 Then all the people came into the wood; there was honey in the field,
26 and as soon as the people came into the wood, they saw a whole flow of honey; but none of the people put their hand to their mouth for fear of the oath.

King Saul issued a completely foolish and evil order, that no warriors should be allowed to eat!

The order was as follows:
"Cursed be the man who eats any food until evening, before I have been avenged on my enemies! And none of the people tasted any food."

Immediately after this terrible and senseless order.
Then the children of Israel came across a lot of food.

"Then all the people came into the forest, and there was honey in the field, and as soon as the people came into the forest, they saw a whole flow of honey; but none of the people put their hand to their mouth for fear of the oath."

The opposite here was Jonathan, who ate of the food.

Which strengthened him and his armor-bearer so greatly.

1 Sam. 14. 27 But Jonathan had not listened to his father making the people swear; he reached out the staff that was in his hand, dipped the end of it in the honey, and put his hand to his mouth again; and his eyes were restored.
28 Then one of the people spoke up and said, “Your father strictly charged the people, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today!’ And the people fainted.
29 Jonathan answered, “My father has brought disaster on the land; see how my eyes have become enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey;
30 how much greater would the loss of life have been among the Philistines if the people had eaten today of the spoil they had taken from their enemies!”

We sing a song about this in Sirdiregn on No. 171: King Saul forbade all the people to eat—Jonathan ate from the Lord’s dish. He dipped his staff in the honey. And his eyes shone so wonderfully.

Chorus: In the rock is honey, in the rock is honey – Abundance of honey now in the rock is. Come, taste and see that God is good. In the rock is abundance of honey. Rarely good and meaningful song that tells about what I am describing here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8n_hOVK6UQ

Is this so small and insignificant to deny the people food in the heat of battle?

Think, in our case it turns out like a wall, stairs and shed that have beautified our property.
Where the justification from PBE and the authorities is something that is not true.
They themselves have written that when we received the framework permit for construction in 2011, the level difference was 5 meters.
Then we are allowed to have this wall that we have approximated as it is.
We are allowed to have a wall corresponding to what has been built.
They lie and claim everything between heaven and earth.
Among other things, that we claim we have a legal wall, which we have never claimed.
When the highest allowed wall for us to have by law is 1.5 meters.
Ours is 1.8 meters when PBE guided us how to build our wall.
The whole thing is foolish and controlled by Satan and his demons as King Saul's order was that they should not eat food when they were in the battle against the Philistines.
For this they are trying to break us with every means they have in their "toolbox!"

 http://the-heavenly-blog.janchristensen.net/2023/10/no-1624-what-we-experience-with.html

 

Here we are denied a wall, and King Saul forbade the people food!

It is through such minimal and small things that people show their true selves.
Of course it is also through so-called big things, but then it has come to light through what one would almost call trifles and insignificant things.
Which one has failed first, before one also fails in the bigger things.

 

 Anyway, here the parallels and similarities are strikingly similar.
Why? Because it is the same spiritual forces and the same type of people that are involved.
Nothing has changed in the deepest sense in 3000 years.
From Israel to Norway. It is the same.

We read further that because of the harsh command given by King Saul, this enormous negative and downright perverse relationship was created!

1 Sam. 14. 31 That day they struck the Philistines and pursued them from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people were very faint
32 and they immediately set about the spoil; they took sheep and oxen and calves and slaughtered them in the field and ate the meat with the blood.
33 Then someone came and told Saul and said, “The people are sinning against the Lord, in that they eat meat with the blood in it.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously; roll a large stone here to me!”

It is difficult for us to understand how great a sin the children of Israel committed here.
When they ate meat with blood in it. It was a mortal sin, as God had clearly said repeatedly that one should not eat anything with blood in it.
This also applies to us in the new covenant.

Leviticus 17. 13 And if any of the children of Israel or of the strangers who live among them kill a wild animal or a bird that may be eaten, then he shall pour out the blood and cover it with earth;
14 for the life of all flesh is the blood, because the life is in it; therefore I said to the children of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is the blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.

King Saul's command not to eat made the warriors of Israel here!

Violated a command that led to a mortal sin.
But right here King Saul stood out as a true leader, and commanded atonement for their sin.

1 Sam. 14. 34 Then Saul said, Go about among the people, and say to them, Let each of you bring me his ox and his lamb, and kill them here, and eat, lest you sin against the Lord by eating the flesh with the blood. Then each man of the people brought his ox with his own hand that night, and killed them there.
35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord; it was the first altar that he built to the Lord.

There are times when even the most unjust people are able to go within themselves!

That is what we hope, believe and pray for in our case.
That the PBE and the State Administrator will come to their senses and realize that what they are doing is madness and has no meaning and value.
Just as King Saul was able to go within himself, even though he was not really an upright and good man. Where he even wanted to sacrifice his own son.
If the people had not come to Jonathan's aid, he would have been killed by his own Father because he ate honey. And thus got the strength to win the war.
Saul was like the authorities are here against us.
Rotten and sad. But even for such they can find an opportunity, as God has put a conscience even in such. So that they can come to knowledge!
The scripture says:

1 Tim. 2. 4 He wants all people to be saved through coming to the correct knowledge of the truth.
1930 translation 1. Tim. 2. 4 he who wants all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

We have had several relationships up here at Hellerudtoppen in Oslo.
Where we have been free range for the demonic forces that work through unjust people.

Here are the guidelines. Which I can go much deeper into.
This is what Satan and his demons are doing in many respects.
Where what he can use, when there is nothing else.
That he lets such small and obvious things become the biggest problems.
The children of Israel were in a long war of attrition, which King Saul had as a leader failed before the war started by not having blacksmiths in the country.
He himself was extreme, worse than anyone.
So during the war, he denied them food until they had won.
Completely contrary to all common sense.
More than ever need than food during a long and ongoing war.

 

 So it is with us.
Before we built the wall, it was a difficult and muddy slope.
After we built the wall, everything works perfectly.
Our neighbor who has a slope has big problems today and makes it work.
It is muddy, not very delicate and still not environmentally good.
With us it is the opposite, but we have been tried and are being tried to punish as harshly as possible!
The fines are up to 280,000, - kr.
They have taken the car, tried to take money from my salary account.
They have pretended to sell the house, and that is probably the next thing these devilish and evil people will take.

What I experienced with Unibuss, getting fired for playing Christian radio programs.
It's also in the same street, for a legitimately legal thing.
Playing on the radio, and getting fired.
It's also demonic activity. By the management of the bus company.

Final comment

King Saul is dead, but his manner and way of acting is still alive!
Even neighbors and others have made things as difficult as they could.
Insults, cutting off the charger on the electric bus.
Scratched up our car and destroyed the gate on our stairs.
There has been so much.
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2023/08/nr-3260-i-var-kamp-imot-plan-og.html

The truth is that it is demonic activity that was behind King Saul and the authorities that we are experiencing. They are not ruled by themselves, but by Satan.
Therefore, what they are doing is without any common sense.
King Saul forbade the people food.
The authorities deny us the wall, stairs and storehouse that are completely legitimate and good to have.
It is the same spirit that was behind King Saul, and that is behind PBE and their co-conspirators against us.

Eph. 4. 17 I say this and testify in the Lord so that you will no longer live like the rest of the nations, for they walk in the futility of their minds.

18 Their understanding is darkened, and they are alienated from a life with God because of their ignorance and their hardness of heart.

19 They have no sense of shame, and they have given themselves over to debauchery that leads to all kinds of impurity and greed.

This fits Saul and the authorities exactly

They are “for they walk in the futility of their minds. Their understanding is darkened, and they are alienated from a life with God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. They have no sense of shame, and have given themselves over to debauchery, leading to all kinds of impurity and greed.”

It is absolutely, absolutely sick what King Saul was doing.
It is equally sick what the PBE and the authorities here in our case are doing.
Demonic activity, that is Satan. Against all that is wholesome, right and good!

I have worked at Unibuss for 16 years.
In many ways, I gave my "best" years to driving buses here in Oslo.
The management was unhappy with me, where boss bully Per Christian Bing fired me because I played Christian radio.

2.4 Billion in debt, but received support and help from Ruter, Sporveien and Oslo Municipality!

Ruter recommends reconstruction.
Unibuss, which accounts for 65 percent of all bus departures in the Oslo area, has major financial problems. The solutions being worked on involve either a forced reconstruction or bankruptcy.

Unibuss is conducting a witch hunt on its own employees.
In short
Unibuss has been sued in at least 16 cases since 2020. The conflicts were with employees who believe they were dismissed on invalid grounds.
Three cases were won by employees, three by Unibuss, while ten cases ended in settlements, which is often common in labor law cases.
The Norwegian Confederation of Bus Workers criticizes Unibuss for bad culture and difficult management, while CEO Rønning rejects the criticism.
In the latest case, a bus driver was fired for disabling sound alarms that are supposed to warn of safety deficiencies.

“It was a high number,” says Per Ole Melgård, leader of the Norwegian Confederation of Bus Workers’ Union in Oslo and the surrounding area.

Three of the cases were won by the employees. One of them is not legally binding as it is awaiting appeal in Borgarting Court of Appeal. Three cases were won by Unibuss. A full ten of the cases ended in
Avisa Oslo has previously discussed one of the conflicts that ended in settlements. Then the bus driver received a sum of money equivalent to 13 months of severance pay to quit his job. It cost Unibuss ½ Million kroner.

A dysfunctional bus company that has been saved by Ruter, Sporveien and Oslo Municipality!

It is incredible that no form of investigation has been set up and asked how Unibuss. As well as Sporveien, Ruter and Oslo Municipality have saved Unibuss!

The management itself is hateful towards some employees.
What is needed to have a responsible and profitable bus company is missing.
What is the reason for this?
It is certainly complex, but without a doubt it is because they do not have the competence and sense of responsibility that is needed.
They are simply a dysfunctional bus company that I have warned against a long time ago.

Why hasn't Unibuss gone bankrupt? All other bus companies would have gone bankrupt with 2.4 billion in debt.

Unibuss has a debt of 2.4 billion kroner.
The ruling from the district court states that the bus company has a debt of 2.4 billion kroner as of April 30.
In reality, they own 0, as everything is tied up in contracts etc. Which means that in the event of bankruptcy they would have in reality caused others far more than 2.4 billion in loss of value and reshuffles etc.

Route manager Bernt Reitan Jenssen tells Aftenposten that he believes Unibuss will avoid bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy is the worst option, as it looks now, according to Reitan Jenssen.
There could soon be talk of new public funds being injected to save the remains of the company, and secure bus services in the capital for the time being.

This is an article from 24.04.2024 several months before Unibuss was "rescued".
What they are being told is, you can do whatever you want Unibuss.
We, Ruter, Sporveien and Oslo Municipality are going to "rescue" you anyway.

The mess that Unibuss, Sporveien, Ruter and Oslo Municipality are making is affecting employees of Unibuss.
The taxpayers who are keeping this bus company artificially alive!
When will it end and Unibuss be liquidated?
Time will tell, hopefully that day is not far off!

https://blog.janchristensen.net/2025/05/nr-3457-pastor-geir-stomnas-forsvarte.html

I wrote about Pastor Geir Stomnås and his, in my opinion, unbiblical practice of defending remarriage and thereby rejecting Bible believers who uphold the teachings of the Bible.
Which has actually more or less also been the church's teaching and practice for 2000 years.
Remarriage for believers has more or less never been accepted until the last 50 years within Christianity as far as I know and understand!?

The article I wrote is dated Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
https://blog.janchristensen.net/2025/04/nr-3449-pastor-geir-stomnas-er-ikke.html

This is 1 month before I read that he had filed for separation.
(I think I first read about Stomnås on May 8.)

I don't know as of today if this was something they had mutually agreed on?
Or is it he or X's wife who has taken the step out of the marriage.
But that this came as a complete surprise, wasn't it when I wrote about this indirectly before it happened?

I do not consider myself a prophet, but I have a prophetic gift!

There is no doubt that God has the full overview of what is happening in the church!

Heb. 4. 12 For the word of God is living and active! Sharp as a two-edged sword, it penetrates and cuts off soul from spirit and joints from marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 Nothing of creation is hidden from him, and everything will be revealed and laid open before the eyes of us who have his word.

God knows everything that is happening, nothing is hidden from him.
When I wrote about Pastor Geir Stomnås, I did not know that he had big problems.
But God was aware of this - of course.
http://the-heavenly-blog.janchristensen.net/2015/09/no-1042-jimmy-swaggart-was-revealed.html
I have experienced this many, many times before in many contexts.
Once it was about Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart.
As I have written about here:
After feedback, I will explain something more about the meetings with Jimmy Swaggart in August 1987 Crusade on Long Island, New York where he was exposed to many thousands of people, but would not repent!

He then had a meeting there together with all the Assembly of God churches in the district around there.

He who was the leader of those meetings, a merger of churches there, had a dream that he publicly spoke out. This Italian who I have spoken to on the phone afterwards who was just as surprised as everyone else how true his dream had been!

He had had a nightmare-like dream about Jimmy Swaggart as I remember it, where he himself experienced that a snake attacked him as he himself was Swaggart.

This Pastor woke up from that nightmare through the sweat, and he had been in a fight. This snake wanted to kill and break him.

Then he publicly said to Jimmy as I remember the following: "Jimmy is really all right with you, should we pray for you, or what?"

Swaggart sipped his glasses that at that time were as big as saucers. But he did not want to admit his sin there, and be prayed for. Unfortunately, he was too proud for that. When he came forward in February 1988, it was unfortunately no surprise, this had already been revealed in the August 1987 Crusade on Long Island, New York. There he was revealed to many thousands of people, but would not repent as I have already written about!

But God is merciful, Jimmy Swaggart is back and serves God now together with Francis and the church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Lord, 80 years (young) old!

Amos 3. 7 For the Lord God of Israel does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
I spoke on the phone with the Pastor who exposed Jimmy in August 1987.
Now I don't remember the name since it was so long ago. But what I remember is that he said that he himself was completely surprised. And afterwards he realized that he had dreamed a true dream, as the scripture says.

http://the-heavenly-blog.janchristensen.net/2015/09/no-1041-evangelist-jimmy-swaggart-was.html

The Holy Spirit clearly spoke through me here.
When I wrote this article where I pointed out the hollowness with Pastor Geir Stomnås.
Pastor and Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart was exposed.
"Everyone" is exposed when one comes out of God's will in God's church if one wants and wants to be led.
Especially preachers and those with responsibility.
Here was clearly a Pastor on the wrong path, whom God knew all about.
Knows all about today as He knows all about all of us!

 2 Kings 6. 8 The king of Syria was at war with Israel; and he consulted with his men, saying, “In such and such a place I will encamp.”
9 But the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware of passing this place, for the Syrians will come down there.”
10 So the king of Israel sent to the place of which the man of God had told him, and he was there. This happened not once, but several times.
11 The king of Syria was very angry because of this; he called his men and said to them, “Can you tell me which of our people is on the side of the king of Israel?”
12 Then one of his men said, “No, my lord the king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel everything that you speak in your bedroom.”
13 And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, He is in Dothan.
14 And he sent thither horses and chariots, and a great host: and they came thither by night, and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant of the man of God went out early in the morning, behold, an host compassed the city with horses and chariots: and his servant said unto him, Alas, my lord, what shall we do?
16 And he said, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 2 Chronicles 32:7 1 John 4:4
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked, and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Genesis 32:1 Psalm 34:8
18 And when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness, as Elisha had said. Genesis 19:11
19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, nor the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he brought them into Samaria.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Lord, open their eyes, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw, and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 And the king of Israel saw them, and said unto Elisha, My father, shall I smite them?
22 And he said, Thou shalt not smite them: wilt thou smite them with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and then return to their master! Proverbs 25:21 ** *bow: you do not even kill prisoners of war, much less should you kill these.
23 So he had a meal prepared for them, and they ate and then he sent them away, and returned to their master. After that, no more Syrian raiders came into the land of Israel.

Here we read the following:
“Can you tell me which of our people is on the side of the king of Israel?” Then one of his men said, “No, my lord the king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel every word that you speak in your bedroom.”

I received a revelation about what was going on in the “bedroom” down in the South.
I had no idea about this. I did not even think along those lines.
But God knows everything, and I have received a "mandate" from God that He is still the true Lord, ruler and ruler of His church.
Behold, who confesses His name, it obliges!
It is to uphold the pure and unadulterated word of God and sound doctrine.
Which does not at all allow remarriage among preachers, pastors, singers and those who have a leadership responsibility in God's church.
It is not our church, but God and Jesus' church!

This was the first time I warned against a preacher who was not divorced, who mingled and defended those who were remarried.
In such a clear way, when of course I have also indirectly accused others of defending remarriage by not distancing themselves from those who, according to God's word, are adulterers and then live improperly.
God knows everything, and He does not let Himself be "pilled" on the nose by anyone!

No. 1636: WHY DOES SATAN RAGE AGAINST HEALING BY PRAYER?

No. 1636:

WHY DOES SATAN RAGE AGAINST HEALING BY PRAYER?

Jesus healed all the sick.
Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

Clipping from Vekkeropet no. 10/1982

There are three reasons in particular why Satan rages against those who pray for the sick:
1. Because it is an open declaration of war against Satan's destructive work against humanity. Through illness comes despair, sorrow, suffering and death and then accusations against God. And never in history have the powers of disease had such free rein as today. Hospitals and clinics are overflowing, and new unknown diseases are constantly appearing. Doctors stand helpless, while in despair they ask: What shall we do?

So what is the cause of all this? Some say it is pollution in the air. Others say it is malnutrition, and health food has never been more popular than it is now. But people will not believe that it is Satan and his spirit army raging against God’s creation—man.
2. Satan knows that his time is short, and is doing everything he can to turn the hearts of men away from Him who came to destroy all the works of the devil.

The body that was supposed to be a temple for God has, through false and unbelieving preaching, through unbelieving preachers, become a temple for disease powers and poisonous medicines that are slowly but surely breaking down God’s temple into complete destruction. Preachers of all kinds praise medical science and recommend seeking a doctor rather than doing what Jesus told his witnesses: “CAST OUT DEMONS AND HEAL THE SICK!” Why do they do it? Because they believe more in what Satan says than in what Jesus has commanded.
3. When Jesus raises up witnesses and gives them power to cast out demons and heal all kinds of sickness, Satan and his demonic army rise up in a fiery hatred and fury, together with unbelieving preachers, and wage a merciless war against such witnesses.

God has his witnesses all over the earth whom he anoints with the power and authority of the Holy Spirit, who are ready to revolutionize the world with a miracle revival the world has never seen before. It is God's nuclear power against Satan's spiritual army in the sky. And these will be witnesses who do not bask in the revival, and sit on a high pedestal, but who are willing to sacrifice even their lives in the fight to save people, and who by the preaching of faith give children bread instead of stones.

God has abandoned churches and church organizations because they trample on the command of Jesus Christ to cast out demons and heal all kinds of sickness. The world needs to see evangelical power in full action, and preachers who give themselves entirely to the ministry, without regard to religious organizations and religious leaders who spew lies and all kinds of devilry against those who dare to believe in, and practice, the message of faith. Something is about to happen the like of which the world has never seen.
Jesus is not coming to get a defective church, but a church that is fully restored by the power of the Holy Spirit, both in spirit, in soul, and in body, the temple where Jesus sits on the throne of the heart. God Himself will shut the mouths of all enemies of the message of deliverance. Their religious services will collapse like a house of cards before the eyes of the people, and will become a laughingstock to the public. Their outbursts of rage, with lamentations and cries, will be drowned in loud shouts of joy from people whom Jesus heals of deaf-mute spirits, of the blind, the lame, the paralyzed, and of every kind of disease. From those who are raised from the deathbed, and from those who jump out of wheelchairs.
And I believe as it is written in the Acts of the Apostles that many of the priests will come to faith.

This is not wishful thinking, but it is already happening. There will be no nuclear war until all this happens. It is the Lord, who by his almighty hand, is preparing his temple, so that he can fill it with his divine glory. And just as quickly as the change came on the day of Pentecost, just as quickly will the change happen with his church before he comes with all his angelic host and takes his beloved bride. AMEN!

No. 1635: Pastor Geir Stomnås is not remarried himself, but defends them that are!

 No. 1635:

Pastor Geir Stomnås is not remarried himself, but defends them that are!

 

Picture of Stomnås who is a liberal preacher who opens up for sin, remarriage and demonic activity in the congregation with his defense against what God's word speaks against.

 

Geir Stomnås is Pastor in the Pentecostal church Filadelfia Vennesla in the South of Norway.

 

2 Tim 4:2-3 Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching! 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts, they will heap to themselves teachers, because they have itching ears.

 

The problem is not that they do not understand that divorce/remarriage is wrong according to the sound doctrine of the Scriptures, it has never been the historical position and teaching of the church that divorce/remarriage is the "sound doctrine", but they cannot endure/suffer to hear the sound doctrine, i.e. they will not come to terms with the fact that they have made bad choices with their spouse or they will not suffer for the sake of righteousness and remain single after divorcing/being abandoned, being the so-called innocent party. They go from being an innocent party to becoming a guilty party by remarrying after divorce.

 

The main problem is that they cannot endure, they cannot come to terms with the fact that they must be single for the rest of their lives while the divorced spouse is still alive. This is the same carnal spirit of lack of self-control that we find in sodomites who demand their right to exercise their form of “love,” it should be a “human right.” It is no human right to be married or to be able to acquire a new wife or husband when the marriage is broken by divorce.

 

1 John 4:8 He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.

 

Everyone wants to declare their love and that God is gracious/full of love, the prerequisite for love is to know God, when they reject sound doctrine they are unable to love as God loves because they reject what God thinks about love. It is love for God that is shown by remaining single after divorce/being abandoned/innocent party.

 

Now that almost all preachers are either divorced and remarried or stands by that divorce/remarriage is what the Bible teaches and allowes, it is not easy to turn the tables. When the blind lead the blind, both fall into the ditch. The ditch warned against is: remarriage for believers, eternal damnation, separated from the Lord Jesus Christ forever, no wedding feast in heaven for these.

 

Titus 1:7-9 For an overseer must be blameless as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for filthy lucre, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, temperate, 9 holding fast the faithful word according to the doctrine, that he may be able both to exhort by sound doctrine and to rebuke those who contradict.

 

Another thing most people do not understand is that there is a difference between grace and forgiveness being available to everyone who comes to God based on the Blood through the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace and forgiveness are not the same as if I have become blameless in the eyes of men and in the eyes of God. There are higher requirements for those who are to be overseers. The integrity we are talking about here is our righteous walk/lifestyle as representatives/ambassadors on behalf of Christ. We find the same principle in the rest of the secular world that has certain criteria that must be met for different offices/positions/occupations.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ never said to the divorced, “I give you forgiveness and grace to remarry after divorce” but what he said to all who had heavy burdens was:

 

Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

 

As a church and the body of Christ, we are in a very bad condition to suffer for Christ's sake if we want revival and persecution, when we cannot even control our feelings of loneliness/being single and sexual urges. How can we stand with the Lord in tough times when the Lord is not enough in times of peace. Most people do not want to live godly because it arouses the wrath of the ungodly/religious.

 

2 Tim 3:12 And all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

 

Titus 2:11-15 For the grace of God has appeared to bring salvation to all men, 12 teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works. 15 Speak these things, and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you!

 

Final comment:

 

With such a doctrinal standpoint, one pushes out those who are not part of this unbiblical and carnal slippage that this is.

There is no room for both God and Satan.

For light and darkness.

Right and wrong.

The choice is made, when one first opens up for remarriage among us Christians!

 

2 Cor. 6. 19 Since you have received these promises, beloved, cleanse yourselves from every filthiness of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

 

No. 1634 What about Christian leaders who have remarried?

No. 1634

What about Christian leaders who have remarried?

Some time ago I heard "Pastor" Sigurd Bylund from Troens Ord Sandefjord speak.
Where he repeated time after time that he had been divorced and remarried many times.
All the greater grace, forgiveness and meeting with Jesus.
This is a failed Christianity, where one opens oneself up to a life of debauchery. It is a mock Christianity and a mockery of all who want to follow Jesus and God's word closely!
Claiming to have more marriages, to have more "God's grace" waiting is in direct contradiction to scripture.
This is a distortion of God's word and God's grace.

Jude 4 For some people have crept in among us. They are such as were written down in ancient times for this judgment. They pervert the grace of God into lasciviousness and deny the only One, the Lord Jehovah, and also the Lord Jesus Christ.

God does not discriminate between people, but Christian leaders lead others to fall with their lifestyle, claims author Øyvind Kleiveland.

It is not uncommon for Norwegian churches to have Christian leaders who have been married several times, and many Christians wonder how to deal with this.
Can God use them, even though they are living in what the Bible calls adultery?
What does the Bible really say about such situations?

God uses fallen people

It is important to understand that God often uses people - despite their mistakes and shortcomings. I am an example of that.

The Bible shows us many examples of God working through imperfect people. David is a good example, even after sinning gravely with Bathsheba, he repented and God continued to use him.

In the same way, God can use Christian leaders who are living in their second, third or fourth marriage.
God, in his grace, uses us all despite our shortcomings.

God Calls Us to Holiness

Although God may use such leaders, it does not mean that their lives are in harmony with the guidelines for leadership found in the Bible. The Bible says that marriage is eternal, and the bond lasts as long as both spouses live. Jesus said that “what God has joined together, let no man put asunder” (Matthew 19:6). This covenant is broken by those who remarry while their first spouse is still living.

Luke 16:18 says, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery.” This means that remarrying while a person’s first spouse is still living is adultery.

Remarriage is the same as adultery

The Bible clearly states that adultery is remarrying while one’s first spouse is still living. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 says that fornicators and adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God. This includes those who remarry after being separated, because their marriage remains valid as long as their first mate is alive.
Galatians 5:19-21 speaks of the works of the flesh, which include fornication and adultery. The Bible says that Christian leaders are engaging in the works of the flesh when they remarry while their first mate is alive, and according to the Bible, this is serious.

How should we deal with such leaders?

While God may use such leaders, it is important to understand that they are not behaving in the way that God requires. According to the Bible, an elder is to be “the husband of one wife”
(1 Timothy 3:2), and they are to serve as examples to the flock.

This means that Christian leaders must live in harmony with God’s plan for marriage.

Leaders who are married to someone else while their first mate is still alive do not accurately reflect God’s will for marriage.

God’s Call to Repent

Even if a Christian leader is living in sin in a relationship that the Bible calls the works of the flesh and adultery, there is still hope.

God’s grace is great, and He calls all of us to repent. Repenting means not only accepting that you have done something wrong, but also changing your lifestyle so that you live in harmony with God’s will.

1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This also applies to those who have been married more than once. God can provide forgiveness and restoration for those who turn from sin. This means stopping what one is doing, as Jesus commanded the woman at the well: “Go and sin no more” (John 8:11).

Conclusion

As Christians, we must be aware that the Bible sets very high standards for those who are to lead the church. The Bible says that if a leader is living in a second, third, or fourth marriage while the first spouse is still alive, they are engaging in adultery, which the Bible defines as the works of the flesh.

That is, they are living in the flesh, not in the Spirit. A leader cannot be a good example to the church when he or she is living in the flesh. God calls leaders to be examples of how to live a life in the Spirit. It is necessary to break the vicious cycle that occurs when Christian leaders drag other people into sin through their lifestyle.

 Therefore, as Christians, we should not have such leaders in our congregations until they have shown sincere repentance and ended relationships that the Bible describes as adultery.

Although everyone who repents can receive God's grace, we must adhere to the rules of the Bible and demand that our leaders behave in accordance with God's will. It is important to take seriously that a leader who lives in sin cannot lead God's people on the right path.
He should be a model, pattern and example for the congregation.
1 Pet. 5. 2 So be shepherds of the flock of God that is among you, overseeing it - not by compulsion, but willingly. And not for corrupt gain, but eagerly.
3 Neither should you be lords over those entrusted to you by God, but it should happen by being examples to the flock.

Øyvind Kleiveland has written, among other things, the marriage book “Den store fallgruven”.

No. 1633:
Christian preaching has overlooked the significance that judgment begins with God's church - not the children of the world!

The index finger of the Christians must also go to the children of the world, as we are part of society.
But inside - to other believers who are astray. Who spreads destruction, lives in sin is unfortunately a mute like oyster above.
Scripture warns us that the judgment and the search begin with us believers.
Have we failed the Lord and His word here? Unfortunately, I think so.

1 Pet. 4. 17 For the time of judgment shall begin with the house of God! But if we are to be first, then what about those who towards the end disobey God's message?
18 For: 'If it is difficult for the righteous to be saved, how will it be with the wicked and sinners?' WORD 11,31
19 And therefore he who must suffer according to God's will, must surrender his soul to good works in faithfulness to the Creator.

In recent times here in Norway, "de-Christianization" has gained momentum!

I grew up with Christianity as part of the "package!"
Where one at the school had Our Father's Day and other elements as part of the school's everyday life.

At the end of school and other things, we were in the Church.
Afterwards we got a grade book etc.

Today, as far as I know, this is a distant reality in the profane school.
Today's Norway and the one I grew up with are in many ways completely different.

The way it is for us believers - Jesus believers - is the development we see.
Go against the way we want Norway.
I could go on here, but my point is.
This is the World - where the unsaved.
The non-believers rule the roost today, and indeed before.
As this world lies in evil, the scripture says.

1 John b. 5. 19 We know that we are of God, but the whole world is subject to the evil one.

1930 the translation 1 Joh.b. 5. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in evil.

As believers we are in battle - every day against Him who rules this world, that is Satan and his demons.

Therefore, it is completely wrong to say that it is de-Christianization and everything else?!

Deepestly, it is when we believers are removed from this world that there is "de-Christianization". As long as we are in this world, we influence society.
We are light and salt, against the rot in society.
No one else but us Jesus believers is fully aware of this.
Why? Because we have God's Spirit within us, and belong to the living God.

This is exactly what the Apostle Paul says.

2 Thess. 2. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. It is only that he who holds back must hold back until he is taken away.

The basic text, loosely translated, says:
It is what remains that must first be taken away.

It is the congregation - us Jesus believers who hold back before the Antichrist comes and rules this world fully.
This World is in evil right NOW!

Satan's aim is to remove us Jesus believers - everything else is subordinate to his will!

If he does not remove us believers, he will have influence.
Then that we as believers are not followers of Jesus in life and teaching.

Yes, in every way prevent us from being what God has called us to be!

But my point is above all, what is the "apostasy" is that we Jesus believers are removed and erased. It will only happen at the rapture!
The world and the world's children have nothing to fall for. But when we as Jesus believers are removed. Then comes darkness in its full and entire width.

Joh.e. 9. 4 I must work on the work for which I was sent, while it is still day, for the night is coming when no one can work.

Final comment:

Believing in a great revival and reformation such as happened in the 16th century with Luther. Where the whole society was permeated by Luther's faith and teachings, we will never experience again until Jesus establishes his kingdom of peace. And the people obey him.

Genesis 49. 10 The king's scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the scepter from his feet, until the prince of peace comes, and the people obey him.

Before this, we Christians with our beliefs, views and opinions will be more and more frowned upon.
Jesus and true Christianity are too hard food!

The positive thing about this is without a doubt that Israel and God's church - the Jesus believers will find more and more together.
We both believe in the Bible and have it as a standard and direction in our lives.
Even not all Jews believe in Jesus, but it will come when they will be saved as a man in one day.

Room. 11. 25 For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this secret - lest you should think yourselves wise - that hardening has come in part upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
26 and thus shall all Israel be saved, as it is written: From Zion shall come the savior, he shall remove wickedness from Jacob,
27 and when I take away their sins, then this is my covenant with them.

Case. 12. 10 But on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem I will pour out the spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look up to me as they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only son, and mourn bitterly for him as one mourns for his firstborn.
