Funny prayer!!

I think I have to share this funny story at less for me my self.

Today is was quite a good day and quite long long day to work. I started at 10.00 am. til 9.00pm. On every Wednesday we will have " Bønnetimen" or pray time at my office. I waited waited and waited but nobody came until at 8.00 pm. An old man ( around 75 years old) with a big guitar bag and with black color came to my office, so I never seen him in this Bede huset before. Javel!!! I started to greet him. I guess, he was a bit disappointed to see me alone and more than that I look really ASIA ASIAAAA woman !!

He told me that he is a prayer man, walk around from the place to place which has prayer group but normally he went to Filadelfia in Mandal. ( I love Filadelfia ....) I thought WOW !!! God !! Thank you so much that you sent some one just has the same heart like me and same style to worship you.

I was not the leader for prayer but it supposed to be other dame but she didn't come. I said to him that " Ok! let's we do like this, we just let's the Holy Spirit work out and lead us what He need us to pray for. Because I have no idea for now what we suppose to pray" He answer me " it seems ok but I would like to start by singing first and then we pray!" ( I love his style ) actually I love to play guitar when I pray too, but I am not so good to sing in Norwegian!!" I told him

Oh! PS. we have spoken in Norwegian.

" just do whatever the Holy Spirit lead us!!" so,we agree!!

The worship time from the 2 generations start to open.!!! Gringgg!!!! ......He started to play guitar and sang and I started to focus on God but his song......

was like traditional Norwegian melody and the way that he sang,it really really really made me laughing. By the way I said to me self " No Prem you have to control your self!!! stop laughing Focus on God ....Focus on God Prem!!!" but the more that I try to stop to laugh and control my self the more made me laughing at him.

I have to open my eyes and look at him a bit. But he looked really in love in God and suddenly he just shout! out to praise the Lord ( I love his style anyway) I was a bit startled and tried to focus on God once again but it didn't work neither.

Then he start to pray with more power and fire!! I felt my office was really warm ( I still love his style) but it made me more laughing.

Normally I am just like him when I pray but I never expect that I will see such the person like him in this old age and powerful to pray before.

So, I just said AMEN!!!! HALLELUJAH !!! all the time =) ( I love his style^^)

=) Believe or not ...we use about 1 hour to pray for every thing in Mandal but he is the main person who prayed a lot ^^!

If God will angry me about this, I accept and must apologize the old hard rock man for my disturbance!!

By the way in the end we have a good chatting together about our faith !!! ;)

Walk of Faith

Constructed to give people the illusion of walking on air, "The Walk of Faith" is a platform of laminated glass at the top of a 385-foot tower in Blackpool, England. An Associated Press photo showed a woman at the edge of the invisible walkway, fists clenched against her face, trying to summon the courage to take a step. She had been told the platform was safe, but she was still afraid.

Sometimes we feel that way about our circumstances. Perhaps a serious health problem has caused us to question the power and the presence of God.

It's encouraging to note that Paul's familiar words "We walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7) occur in his discussion about being "absent from the body and . . . present with the Lord" (v.8). He used a powerful metaphor, calling our body an earthly house that's being destroyed, yet he said we have a heavenly building made by God. He spoke of groaning in our earthly frailty and longing for our heavenly home. He concluded that no matter what circumstances we face, we should make it our goal to please the Lord (v.9).

Our walk of faith can be challenging and sometimes scary. But because God is powerful and present, we can step out in confidence today. — David C. McCasland

The Lord wants us to walk by faith,
Because our eyes can be deceived;
And even though our path may fade,
God's Word can always be believed. --Sper

It is better to walk with God by faith than to go alone by sight.

Julemessa i Mandal!!

13-19 Høsttur,2009

I really start to work at Normisjon in Mandal. There are many activities that I have to join and to work with but my main working is working with the youth as the Ungdom Abeider

( Youth worker )

We have also youth meeting which is called 13-19. It mean the youth group between 13- 19 years old ( I am an excuse hehe..) By the way this meeting will attend on every Tuesday evening. That is really amazed for me because I never know before that there are really many youths in Mandal. There are around 60 - 100 which came to the youths meeting in each week.

Last week, we have a camp or we called Høsttur 2009. Nor mission in Mandal has own cottage or the Norwegians call " hytte" We were there together around 40 guys .... But I have been there only 2 days. Because of working on Friday.

So I miss the hiking trip!!! It was a bit sad for me.

Anyway it was so awesome!!! " Det var knall gøy!!" Especially in the evening, those youths organized entertainments and I have joined them as well (Actually I did not need it neither but a boy at the camp putted my name in it ) And the thing I have to to do is the " Girls contest 2009", so we have to flight many different things but one of contest which was so weird for me is drinking these!!!

Fresh milk + Raw egg!!! = Drinking!!!!

It was so weird and so terrible !!!! but anyway I was the WINNER!!!! Hurray y!!! After that I felt vomit all night :P

I slept not so well because it was quite cold and a bit noisy.... But I understood when many youth were together , they always have lots funs, talks, plays and so on .....it was almost at 3 Am. that they went to bed... Hallelujah!!!

Yes!! not only funny time that we have but also the great time with God. A boy in the camp, his name is Johaness. He has a speech and shared us about The Vine and the Branches It was very nice speech from him. Actually he is my first friend at 13 - 19 youth group :)

I can say that I am very much glad to work with them here and feel very lucky to work at Bede Huset in Mandal.... Thanks God so much that He lead me to be here.

Be still

Be still, and know that I am God;—Psalm 46:10

As I sat in the dentist’s chair, I braced myself for the drilling that would begin my root canal. I was ready for the worst, and my body language and facial expression exposed my sense of dread. The dentist looked at me and smiled, saying, “It’s okay, Bill. Try to relax.”

That isn’t easy to do. It is actually very difficult to try (requiring effort and exertion) to relax (requiring an absence of effort and exertion). Try and relax just don’t seem to fit together—not only in the dentist’s chair, but in the spiritual realm as well.

Far too often I don’t limit my efforts of resistance to visits at the dentist’s office. In my relationship with Christ, I find myself not pressing for God’s purposes but for my own interests. In those moments, the hardest thing for me to do is “try to relax” and genuinely trust God for the outcome of life’s trials.

In Psalm 46:10, we read, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” In the moments when my heart is anxious, this verse reminds me to “be still, and know.” Now, if I can only put that into practice and rest confidently in His care, I’ll be at peace. — Bill Crowder

Lord, we know that true rest can be found only in You. Help us to end our striving and to trust that You will provide. In Your loving arms we find rest. Amen.

God knows the future, so we are safe in His hands.

La meg få se ditt ansikt

Let's me look at your face! I try to translate from Norwegian into English " La meg få se ditt ansikt" . It is a national women conference in Norway which is in this year was arranged at Sørlandsalen. There were over 2,000 women in this conference and it was beyond awesome. I have been in this women conference last year and it was just amazing. I really thanks God that He gave me opportunity to be in Norway one year more, so I could be in this conference once again.

I got too know many women of God through this conference. Even our age is so different but I think, their heart just like teenage always :) Last year though this conference I got to know Lisbeth Solsvik Hjortland

, she is just amazing woman for me. God used her to pray for me and I got the great experience " felt down in God' s presence in many hours" It was just fantastic to have such a great experience. Anyway I met her once again in this year ( If you read my Blog Lisbeth I would like to say that YOU ARE A PERSON WHO IS IN MY REFLECTION STORY FOREVER.

And other woman which is like my mother and my best friend and etc. Her name is Grete Haaland. Yes I knew Lisbeth and many other women of Lord through Grete. I wonder how she got to know many people like this.... Even now I am working at Normisjon in Mandal, many women there still know who Grete is.. she might be an universal woman, I guess.

By the way, Heidi Baker and Rackel Hickson were preacher for this conference, so I got lots encouragements to keep to on in the rich and fertile land. The best part of conference was the tunnel fire!!! I was really looking forward!!! Then when the time came, staffs over 100 persons were standing 2 lines which was like a tunnel and they were ready to pray for those who walk through tunnel.

I start to drunk by the Holy Spirit before went to the tunnel fire, then went I started to walk ahead, I just drunk drunk and drunk by the Holy Spirit. I could not even walk because the presence of God was so strong and the glory of God was so strong upon on this gathering !!! Many women cried, felt down, drunk etc. by the Holy Spirit.

I have read abook of Heidi Baker for long time ago, it was just amazing story! she got a calling to be a missionary when she was teenage, then every seems impossible for her, in the end God show her ,, With God all things are possible,, God use her to make lot of miracle under Jesus name around the world. I felt really lucky to see her here in Kr.Sand!!!

Sow today what you want to reap tomorrow!!!

Question for my self is what I suppose to sow today if I want to reap ( need to go to Hillsong church in Sydney ) tomorrow ?

The I heart ♥♥♥♥

I realized that I am a reading person. I could read 4 or 5 books in the same time ( a little bit from each ) and its not just surface but in the deeply understanding. There are 4 books that I am reading now

1. Bible ( still keeping my Goal!! )

2. The root of rejection by Joyce Meyer

3. A Leader in a Making also by Joyce Meyer

4. Surprised by the Power of the Spirit by Dr. Jack Dear

The interested things that I found is; all of those books written about the HEART ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I think God would like to teach me something about this, the more when I was focusing what God need to tell me, the more I started to observe that He putted this word in my heart for long long time and especially in this year.

1. I have speeched about " My son, give me your heart " from Proverbs 23:26

2. My church in Thailand used the same scripture for the church' s motto

3. Came back to Norway and went with the Bede Huset's camp named " Love"

4. I got a vision with the Heart and the scripture " I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 11: 19

5. I went to a prayer group and the leader of that group used the same scripture from Ezekiel!!!

Thinking with the Head but Faith with the Heart!!!!

I knew that is the year to serve Him and walking with Him and I knew that He don't need me to serve and walking with Him without heart.....

My heart, Your home Lord!!!

Come and make my heart Your home

Come and be everything I am and all I know

Search me through and through

‘Till my heart becomes a home for You

A home for You, Lord

A home for You, Lord

Let everything I do open up

A door for You to come through

And that my heart would be a place

Where You want to be…

You are my portion, filling up everything

You are the fortune, that’s causing my heart to sing

That it’s amazing…

That You could make Yourself at home with me

My little Goal!!!

I got a thin book from my friend which called " BIBEL- bLogGG" it's like a guide book for reading a Bible within 1 year. I set my goal on it. I have heard from many Pastor that ...

Normal Christians suppose to read the whole Bible x 1 time in a year

Active Christians x 2 time in a year

Pastors or the server of the Lord x 3 time in a year

I think I am normal Christian but quite active and I work as a server of the Lord, so how many time that I suppose to read the whole Bible ? ....... maybe as much as I can but suppose to more than 1 time...

So me little Goal is from 1st October 2009 - 31 December 2009 .... I am going to be finish to reading the whole Bible!!!!

How nice is coming back to K. town

Oh! That is really wonderful time to come back to K. town especially yesterday was awesome day for me... It was absolutely nice weather and lovely temperature, so I went to the vågsbygd Kirke with my host dad and got many friendly greeting from the member at the church, pastor, ex workers, ex leader and many friends. I felt WOW Prem!!! you are very popular here!!! He he :) After finish God service I just left my host dad ( too bad girl) and went with my best friends. It seems really long time that we never seen them. We have a nice dinner together and a lots of sharing from me and from them...When we were together we love to discuses about the Bible and about faiths or update our experienced stories that God made through our life. Normally all of us will share our stories but this time I felt I spoke too too much !!!! Perhaps it was because I have had many stories to share them, anyway they were very nice listener :D

When the story of my first time to drive a car at Hald was shared, so they got an idea that they would like to teach me how to drive the car.... It was so EXCITED!!! We drove the car from home to a place called Happy prise which is a lot of space that I could practice to drive the car ...Ha ha ha many funny things happened during I was driving....anyway it was Knall bra!!

Then in the evening I have to say bye for short time to my friends because I have to pick 2 girls from Laos up and go to Salem church together.

Velkommen til Salem!

Salem er en menighet i Kristiansand, lokalisert på Lund.

Once again that I felt wonderful time to come back.So met many friends here and got a fantastic worship songs, preaching, cafe with my friends .... If I could stop the time I would like to do that but in fact I couldn't. Even I didn't need to leave from there at all but we have to.....

My best friend Eirik Larsen drove us back home. It was really nice time to talk with him because he is the once that I could shared him almost every things. Even he is only 22 years old but his soul and his thinking is not 22 at all. We shared many stories about God's miracles that what God worked through our life. Really thanks God to have a such great friend like him .. Oh! We called him " Kristiansand Prater!! ( in Norwegian) "

We called him like that because he is the one who love to talk about Christ and encourage people around him by speaking although his speech was quite long. ( friends of us said but I didn't agree) Because in fact he would like to help people around him grow up Christ that is why he love to talk ;) and that's why we called him " Kirstiansand Prater" ( hope he won't read my blogger, maybe he will get angry :)

Ja vell!!!

( typical word of Kristiansander )

Thanks God for the awesome day
