Know Who You Are!

May 17, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

God gave you emotions. Part 4
See more of the seminar here!

God is not sin focused, but He wants to show us who we really are in Him.

He wants us to be grounded in who we really are. It is to be grounded in who we really are in Christ that will cause us to not sin.
For in Christ, you are holy, pure, a righteous child of God, chosen and so on.

You also need to see that when you were born again, you were set free from the power of sin, and you died from your sin. You are already crucified with Christ, and your old sin nature is dead, you must see yourself as dead to sin.

God is Not Condemning You!

May 10, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

God gave you emotions. Part 3
See more of the seminar here!

I have seen a large increase of fear and depression, especially among young people.
Many believe that to get Norway and Europe to repent, we must preach the law (The 10 Commandments and morality) to them so that they feel judged and condemned, and then they will turn to God. We hear some preachers say or express: If you do not repent, God will punish you, or you will perish if you do not repent of your sin.

I don’t think preaching the law and the threat of punishment is the right approach to get people to repent.  You may have been raised up by: When we feel bad, you will get better and do what is right, but to a large degree, this was not Jesus’ message to the lost, although He did preach The Law to the ‘Religious Leaders” who preached ‘The Law’ to the people (for their own greedy ends), but themselves lived a secret life of sin in their thoughts and judging attitude.

What Religion Has Done With Emotions

May 3, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

God gave you emotions. Part 2

Many have the image that to be a good Christian is related to surrender, relinquish and give up everything including joy, and everything that feels good is bad or a sin.
I must say that in the first 20 years of my life I was actually not sure of whether God wanted me to be happy or not, that I should feel happiness.

There was some talk about suffering for God, and give up things for God. I thought it was very spiritual to not be happy. For instants, I thought it was very spiritual to cry. I assumed that diseases and depression was a part of suffering as a Christian, and that the condemnation and guilt was something that a Christian should have.
But I was wrong!

God Gave You Emotions

April 26, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

God gave you emotions. Part 1
See more of the seminar here!

What does the Bible really say about emotion? Are emotions something that is negative or positive? Does God want me to be happy? How can I control my emotions? What connection is there between feelings and fears?

Emotions can be our best friend or our worst enemy. In this teaching, I will give you some truths about feelings and emotions that can help you to manage them in a correct and good way, and how you can feel the way that God wants you to feel. 

What I want with this teaching is to show you that the emotions are there and they are given to you by God. You can either lie or ignore them, or you can learn to do something with them.  When we understand why God has given us emotions and we can use them properly, we can apply them in a good way.

If I can learn how to handle my emotions, I can also deal with life and what comes my way.It is one thing that is certain about emotion: We all have them. But unfortunately there are times when the emotions have us. It is when the emotions have us that they become a problem.

Is God Judging This World?

March 22, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

This is something I have on my heart to share in this difficult time we have in our world right now.

Is God Judging This World?

In connection with the Corona Virus that is currently sweeping this world, I have heard people quote scriptures and say that this is God who is angry and it is his punishment for the world and its sin. Not everyone says this directly, but some still believe that it is God who sent it and stands behind it. If the corona virus is a punishment or as a result of God’s wrath, Jesus would have died in vain.

Friend and Father or Slave?

February 23, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

Many view Jesus and God as a stern Lord or slave master, but it could not be further from the truth. Yet, many Christians are very focused on what they must do for Jesus, or whether they are doing everything right.
They might think: Have I committed some sins that have made God angry at me, and in some way he wants to punish me?

What are Jesus and God calling us? Is it slaves and servants? Or is it his friend and son or daughter?
I want to share with you two scriptures today that will show very clearly how God looks at you.

Does God Want to Use You?

February 16, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

Many Christians often pray this prayer: God use me! I myself have prayed this prayer, especially when I were in my teens.

One of the reasons was that I were afraid that I could not be used for anything, and I attached my identity to what I could do and to be used for.

I have one year and 3 months old daughter (when I write this) and I love her over all on this earth.
But my thoughts are not this: What can I use my daughter for, or what can she do for me?
Had I been thinking so, I would have been a selfish, self-seeking and evil father.

Do We Have to Give the Tithe? (And are we under a curse if we don’t give)

February 9, 2020 / Tore / 0 Comments

Perhaps you have heard: You steal from God if you don’t give the tithe, or you are under a curse if you don’t give, or God will punish you if you don’t give the tithe, or God will not heal you if you do not give. These two things are usually not said directly, but it can often be perceived in this way and maybe someone thinks this way too?
In fact, I’ve heard someone say it like this: If you are stingy (“and do not give to us”) then you will go to hell, for those who are stingy will not inherit the kingdom of God.

I get very upset when I hear statements and teachings that are manipulative and that give you guilt, condemnation or fear like this!
None of these things are compatible with God’s character, and some can easily take scriptures out of context and misuse them.

In this teaching today I hope I can give you some clarity and also free you from condemnation and guilt especially in connection with the tithe and money.
