Bible week at Stokke

Bible week at Stokke
Wednesday the Bible week at Stokke started. I was ministering the word of God in the opening meeting. About 550 were gathered in the big green house. Six hundred pluss have registered and many visitors from the surrounding area are attending the meetings. Lot of people arrived even after the meeting. There is expectancy in the air. People are hungry for God. In the opening meeting we could feel the presence of God. Spiritual gifts were in operation and people were touched by the Spirit of God.
I was ministering on change. God is the unchangeable, almighty God who changes everything according to his plan and purpose. The entire Bible is a document of change, from nothingness to the fullness of creation, from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from ugliness to beauty! That is the way God is working throughout history! We don�t understand the theology of the Bible if we don�t accept that change is the most important dynamic of the Kingdom that God has given to his people! We must go beyond accepting change as part of reality to become a people that cause change to take place in line with the plan of God!
The Powerpoint presentation will soon be made available for downloads on our community site!
Thursday morning it was terrible hot in the green house! Some said it was 35 degrees and some said 40 degrees! To all of us Norwegians it was terrible hot. Still we were able to enjoy the teaching of Knut Osland and Arne G. Skagen. They were both ministering on bringing out the gospel to all people. They both did an excellent job. Arne came on after Knut and it was hard for many people to concentrate in the heat. However Arne managed to keep everyone awake and alert by his good humour and his stories!
In the afternoon Solveig and I managed to take a short trip to the sea for a bath. It was so good to swim in the lukewarm sea and just dry in the sun afterward.
Keri Jones was ministering the word of God in the evening meeting. He used the story in Luke 5 when Jesus called three apostles to teach us to fish for people! As usually Keri was excellent! He is full of life and joy, and he likes to challenge all our religious ideas to make us real followers of Christ! There was great excitement and joy when he finished his message.
