ENGLISH —It’s not a sin before you’re caught, one Colombian pastor and former colleague commented with dry irony. He had just had it with the amount of excuses and lack of ethical behaviour from people who were more than willing to follow the letter of the law but knew nothing of the Spirit having written … Les mer

ENGLISH How do we prepare ourselves for the destiny of God in our lives today? Do we dig in and wait the corona virus out, or do we use the opportunity for good? Remember, the world is still not coming to an end. THIS IS A MESSAGE TO CHRISTIANS IN COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES ON LOCKDOWN … Les mer
ENGLISH If one of your aims — as a woman — is to become personally equipped to lead church in thoughtful and informed dialogue, not in confrontation, how would you respond to this frequent feedback women often receive?

IN MEMORIAM: A friend of mine, whom I got to know only last summer, was abruptly taken to Heaven. My first impulse was; ‘Now, why would God do that?’ My second impulse was; ‘Victor, you’re doing it again!’ That’s the religious in me blaming God for not steering the wheels of a reckless driver, although … Les mer
ENGLISH Jesus is not just another ideology. He is by no means just a conviction. He is not even a religion! So, what is He? ’For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him,’ Jesus said. (Joh 3:17 NIV) All the philosophies invented … Les mer
ENGLISH Christian prayer — not church prayer — Christian prayer is unique in this world. Nothing comes even close to resemble its purpose. Christian prayer is designed by God to be answered. By Him! Jesus Christ tells us that the desire of our Father is to do good to His children! Are you a child … Les mer
They say that polar bears walk the streets in Norway. That’s not entirely true. On the mainland black bears help us exercise, even through winter. Polar bears are roaming Svalbard only. (This picture is of me after I took up cycling again.)

The other day I was discussing and praying for a specific goal with Crystal Hicks and Michael Thomas. Later on Michael guided me through a session of legislation in the spiritual realms. But one thing in particular that I remember was Crystal prophesying; ‘YOU make the choice, Victor, says the Lord.’ She was, of course, … Les mer
You are not what you appear to be as you go about your day. You are so much more. If you chose to say YES to The Holy Spirit — He will not force himself upon you, nor will He enter without your permission (Rev 3:20) — you will be empowered by the living God. … Les mer
ENGLISH/PRAISE Listen to Tori Kelly and Jon Batiste rendering this soft version of “Amazing Grace”. Granted, the two are not exactly Hillsong material but don’t you ever happen to harbour just a tiny little wish that worldly musicians could teach us a bit more on how to perform the old, battle proven hymns? Those that … Les mer
ENGLISH/PROPHECIES When we look back on our lives, we will discover that we are more a product of our responses to the situations, criticisms, failures, and successes of our past — than to any other single factor. We respond to expectations from church, from relatives, family, and friends, even from those at school or in … Les mer
ENGLISH/PROPHECIES In the book of Genesis we read about Joseph who first experienced the pit, then a prison, and finally, the palace.

ENGLISH In charismatic circles we sometimes receive messages from God, a term that is a common denominator for different kinds of communications from The Holy Spirit. It is, however, important to gauge the quality of such messages. Is the message really from God, or is it just a person expressing his wishful thinking? And, furthermore, … Les mer
ENGLISH I have just concluded a short holiday with my daughter, Andrea. Although I am no longer a well funded man—not the way I used to be before my early retirement—I have been able to spend well on Andrea.

ENGLISH/THE ROAD AHEAD The Naked (not nude) Pastor lost faith and left ministry some years ago, mainly because theology filled the place in his heart where Jesus should have resided. I do, of course, not recommend his choice of leaving both ministry and Christ, but he’s right in this respect: Theology can indeed divide! >> … Les mer
