Anger

Yesterday I had this strange encounter with a boy who was maybe two or three years older than me. I was sitting next to my father in the car while he was driving, when this boy drove through red  almost bumping into us. This was no problem because he reacted on time and nothing happened. Then, as he came standing next to me in front of a traffic light I looked at him. I gave him a little not because I thought I knew him. For him, however, my look was not so friendly, and he started yelling at me and threatening he would ‘get out of his car’. I mean, he was really angry and really yelling crazy things at me. I was just amazed, starring at him asking myself, why are you so mad?

Thinking about this, I remembered so many times how ‘my look’ at someone almost got me into fights. I can think of countless times people threatened me because I looked at them a moment too long. This made me wonder, what is it that makes them so mad? Is all that anger all ready inside of them, because of failing of family, schools, systems and more? Is it because of lack of purpose and meaning in their life? Is it because they feel attacked or venerable when someone looks at them, and they feel this big need to protect their status, their ‘rights’? I think it can probably be either one of them, or maybe a bid of all. Whatever it is, their need to show their strength, protect their venerability, or maybe just their pent anger only takes a small look to come out.

Driving home I just felt sorry for this guy. All that anger must have had some kind of source.  Back home I read these verses in Ephesians:

…Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being separated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart. (4:17-18)

These words make me think about the best thing to pray for people. The problem is that they hardened their hearts, creating ignorance, separation from God, darkened understanding and so forth. Now, God is not into the changing of hearts when a person does not allows Him to. So more than asking God to change their hearts, a good prayer would be asking God to change and provide circumstances in such a way that they might soften their hearts, creating space for Him to change and renew it.

And then hopefully, because they soften their hearts, knowledge may come, causing their life to move toward God,  that their understanding might be lightened, making their mind fruitful for all good.

God is able

Ephesians 5:13
..Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.

I’ve been meditating on this verse for a few days and I really love what it speaks to me. I read and hear a lot about the arising of the sons and daughters of God that is taking and going to take place on earth. And God is really releasing a lot of wisdom and revelation about this through His body. It feels like every book or message I receive is about this arising. It is all about the arising of the Joseph’s, the rising of the shining ones, the coming Elijah revolution, the arising Daniel company; About the coming of the bridegroom and the shining of His bride, and much more. And it amazes me how God shapes a time by releasing this revelation through so many people in different ways that all point to the same thing.

There are so many great and awesome promises written in the bible that are going to be fulfilled in the coming times, that it blows my mind thinking about it. And looking at them I can’t help myself wondering, how are you going to do all of this Lord? I mean, look at the world.. look at this generation.. look at the status of the church.. How can this be shifted to all of this? I mean, imagine seeing nations coming to Christ, seeing every sector of society showing His splendor, seeing His sons and daughters shining like stars showing the world its true  desire, seeing Jerusalem being a praise in the world.. How is this ever going to take place?      

By awakening, arising and light! Because God is a amazing God! His wisdom surpasses all our imagination. He is a God of generations, and He knows exactly when and how He is going to fulfill the times. And looking at my own life, I often wonder how I can receive so many of these messages. But then I understand that God is the director, the creator and He has spiritually wired my generation for this move of His spirit. They only have to be awakened and arise from the dead, and Christ will give them light. And looking at all my friends and all the students in the classrooms and youth around me, I feel that they are a able, that God had made them according to this time. They only don’t know, they are asleep and have to awake. They have to arise from the dead situations the prince of this earth has brought in their life, and be filled with the light Christ will give them as they more and more fall in love with Him.  

And the light will guide them out of their situation, and the wires of their purpose and calling will suddenly connect to their sores and start to produce, causing all Gods promises and prophesies to fulfill.

And as I write this my spirit and thought get so excited and filled with aw, and I know books can be written about this. I just want say with this, I believe in my God, that He is able to do all He said and I believe that this and the coming generation will be shifted in its calling.

 So as God and the body of Christ shake the earth, more and more people and nations will WAKE UP, arise from the dead, and start to shine with light Jesus will give them!

For as the soil makes the sprout come up
   and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness
   and praise spring up before all nations.

thankful

Thanks be to God for another save and smooth journey home from Sweden. It have been two great and vibrant weeks that left me with this impression: building. Both in the natural and in the spiritual. And coming home I just feel so blessed, so thankful that I can be a witness, a part of and a student during the journey and building of Rob and Prisca. You just keep amazing me with your love, your vision, your kindness and wisdom, and I just want to let you know that it forms me, directs me and blesses me ever since I knew you. Thanks once again for the wonderful time and privilege of being with you! And I rejoice in the fact that much more will come in the future! God bless you!
