Another weekend is over. I was a good weekend with some joint meetings with several churches in town. Mark DuPont was the main speaker. He is a prophet of God with an international ministry. He has been coming to Norway for many years and for nearly ten years he has visited Bergen regularly twice a year. He is loved by many people in many of the churches comprising the one church of God in Bergen.
His burden is to see the presence and holiness of God manifested among the covenant community as it is brought to maturity. It is more important to know the ways of God rather than only know his works. This time he also emphasised that we are being tested by the word of God, as he is forming our character preparing us for everything he has promised. Diamonds are formed under tremendous pressure but coal is formed by the same material under less pressure. Coal will burn out but diamonds will be shaped to reflect light and beauty. In the same way we are being formed into the likeness of our Lord to reflect his glory through a beautiful life.
