Brazil Mission Trip – Day 5

Filed Under God is Good!, Testimonies | Leave a Comment

Glory!

I should have written this yesterday when we came back home but we were so tired after a very long day so I put it off until now. I´ll make it quick :) We had an awesome meeting yesterday morning. It was for pastors and leaders in Bauru. Rafaela Silveira taught in words of knowledge and it was great teaching. When she was done she had people come up who had received words of knowledge during the meeting. I will write more about words of knowledge at a later time, but for now I´ll just explain in very easily; it´s when God tells us about somebody´s pain, sickness, need or something else He wants to do. The people that shared got together with the persons it was for and prayed for them. It was amazing! We received some words about revival in Norway! Hallelujah! Sanna and I really look forward to go back to Norway and see what God will do there for our country. Pray for revival everybody!

In the evening Sanna was going to preach. It didn´t look like we were going to get to the church at all last night. We were scheduled to be picked up at 7:30 pm, but nobody showed up. We waited an hour and then they came. We didn´t know why they were late, because they never told us :) Maybe they started an hour later then we thought? The church was the best we´ve been to down here! I don´t remember last time I´ve been in such an amazing church! It was glorious!! I was on the floor after the worship and they put a blanket over me. Sanna introduced her husband as “the guy under the blanket”… She was awesome! I have heard her preach before and it has been good. This time it was incredible!!! Jim was with us again, and also a lady named Nora. The three of us kept looking at each other and stare in amazement at her. She was so filled with the Holy Spirit. It was about 100 people in the church, and about 80 of them came forward to rededicate their lives to the Lord. Not that they weren´t Christians, but the message she spoke made them want to sell out even more to the Lord. Give Him everything they have.

Sanna preaching on surrendering to God

Sanna was really lifted up into the next level of anointing and authority. As her husband, I just marvelled at what God did with her during the meeting. That church will never be the same. My wife rocks!!

Brazil Mission Trip – Day 4

Filed Under God is Good!, Itinerary, Testimonies | Leave a Comment

Last night was awesome! Sanna, Chase and I went with Michelle and her boyfriend Aaron, to hear her preach. It was great! She shared some personal testimonies about healings and the love of God. Then she had an alter call for those who wanted to receive Jesus as their personal saviour and friend. 14 people came up! It was huge! After that we opened up for people to come up front to receive prayer from us on the team. For anything they wanted or needed prayer for. I want to share some of the things that happened when me and my interpreter, Paula, prayed.

The first to get up to us was a young boy and his family. He was about 5 or 6 years old. His problem was that he had difficulties with breathing. His sinuses was clogged up and his throat was too narrow to breath easily. He needed God to open up his respiratory system in his throat. He also had pain in his right upper leg. As Paula and I prayed for him his family started to weep. After a short while I asked him to breath deeply repeated times. It was no problem for him anymore! Tears started welling up in my eyes and all of us stood there crying. I just took that boy in my arms and held him for a long time, both of us crying out of joy. God, you are soooo good! Thank you so much for healing him. His leg had no pain either. I saw him around later too, and he was smiling huge every time he looked at me.

There was a woman that came up who had back, neck and shoulder pain. After praying for her without the pain to go I had a word of knowledge about one of her legs being shorter. I just told her to sit down and then I took her feet in my hands and checked and found out that the right leg actually was a centimeter shorter. That caused her back to hurt and it had moved up to the neck and shoulders! She knew about her shorter leg, so that was confirmation to me. We prayed for her, and after about 5 seconds the leg grew out again in my hands!!! That was crazy! She got up, we prayed for her back again, and the pain left her! Yeah, God!

A man had been given a word in 1997 that he would have the gift of healing. Yesterday Michelle had prayed for him that he would receive that. I didn´t know that until after the meeting last night. I prayed for him and imparted the gift of healing to him and had him stay there with me and pray for people. It´s all about giving away and activating the people in the churches here so that they can do the stuff after we leave. So he prayed for people and at least 3 people got healed that we know of when he prayed. That is so good! Exactly what we want :)

I had a word of knowledge about a man with hearing loss in his right ear. He came up to me and after a short prayer his hearing was 100% restored and he and his friends hugged and laughed and rejoiced together :-)

You´ll hear from us again soon. Blessings!

Brazil Mission Trip – Day 2

Filed Under God is Good!, Itinerary, Testimonies | Leave a Comment

Hi again!

It´s a little past 5 pm now and we´ve been to a meeting this morning. It was for pastors and ministers, and we´re going to have a meeting like that every morning this week. In a couple of hours we´re going to have meetings in three different churches. Gary Oates, Chase Turner and I are preaching and inviting the presence of our Holy God to come be with us to save the lost, heal the sick and free those bound by the devil. It´s going to be very good! Jesus is always good! Please pray for us. I´ll update this note later to let you know some of the things that is going to happen. Thank you all for partnering with your prayers. We love you all very much!

Hugs from Krister and Sanna

Update:
It´s been a fantastic evening! The meeting was very good. God showed up, the worship was glorious, people were hungry. I didn´t know what to preach on as I came there this evening, but Holy Spirit didn´t leave me speechless. He really came and thanks to Him there were many people healed tonight! Our team, consisting of Sanna, Jim (our faithful team member from the Colombia trip in January!) and myself did impartation with everybody in the church. It was great! It took some time because there was over 200 people in the church, but it was perfect. We want people to be able to step into the things that we preach. Since they believe they also can lay hands on the sick and see them recover. So that was my focus. To help them see who they are in Christ, and what authority and power they carry as sons of God.

I had a few words of knowledge and had people stand up for me to pray over them. God sovereignly healed 39 people of various conditions!!! Jesus you are the saviour of the world! It was so great! One lady used a walker and had done that for a couple of months because of a knee surgery that left her off worse than before. She couldn´t bend her knee… after I prayed over her and some other people that stood up she was able to bend her knee again and she came up using her walker. I asked her why she still had the walker and so she tried to walk without it; and she did! Glory to God! She walked back and forth, better for every step. In the end when she was going back to her seat, she just folded together the walker and lifted it up! It was so glorious!

One woman gave her life to Jesus for the first time, and two men that had been walking away from Jesus, rededicated their life to the Lord. Tears were streaming down their faces as they had seen the power of the only living God manifest in their midst. They wanted to come back and walk with Jesus again. Hallelujah, there´s a party in Heaven right now!

After the meeting we were invited out to eat pizza. The translators didn´t come so we ended up with 50 people from church, with nobody to translate! It was both fun and interesting. The pizza was very good, even though we couldn´t communicate very well with the people there. We left 12:30 am and went back to the hotel; tired, but full of joy. Thank you for everything you did tonight, Holy Spirit!

Jesus Visits Walmart Supercenter

Filed Under Testimonies | 4 Comments

Praise God! WOW!!! Sanna and I have had a couple of hours at Walmart and it was super amazing! Wow, we saw people healed and touched by the Holy Spirit and Jesus just loved on His children. God is so good!

We went to Walmart with our friend, Erika. The reason we went there was that we needed to get some groceries. That´s it. But we went there looking for a chance to share about how much Jesus loves us. The first man we talked to was 69 years old and was a baptist minister. We talked together about living for Jesus and how awesome He is. We got to pray for him and bless him before we all continued shopping. Then we saw a couple that we wanted to talk to and see if we could pray for. We just went up and asked them if they had any pain in their bodies. “Yes,” they told us that he had a regenerate disk problem in his spine and had pain there. He was on medication so he didn´t have any pain right then so he couldn´t tell us if he was healed after we prayed for him. He´ll know tomorrow morning! His wife had pain in her knee. We usually ask them if they can tell us how much pain they´re in on a scale from 1 to 10. This woman, Karen, had a pain that was about an 8! That´s painful. He knee was popping and it hurt badly. After we prayed for her once the pain dropped to a four. Great, but we wanted to go for total healing. That´s what Jesus wants for us. We had her husband pray together with us and ALL the pain left her! Thank you JESUS!!

Dog Healed in Statesville

Filed Under Testimonies | Leave a Comment

Today´s news is absolutely astonishing! A married couple from Norway and an American girl who´s interning with Gary Oates Ministries went to Statesville yesterday. The things they saw down there were beyond their wildest dreams and imaginations! It was not premeditated. Not planned in any way.

Statesville is a beautiful place to visit. The sun was shining and the sky was clear. The reason why this small group went there yesterday was to go and minister at a House of Hope and go horseback riding. When they got down there from Wilkesboro they got out of the car and saw a dog that was limping badly. His right front leg was obviously hurt and the girls there told them that the dog had been limping for a couple of days already. The young Norwegian man decided that this was the the appointed hour. This was the Lords moment! It was time for that dog to get healed! He got down on one knee beside the dog, laid his right hand on the hurt leg and commanded pain to leave and healing to flow through that leg, in the name of Jesus. Nothing happened! At least nothing that could be seen with the natural eye. But what was going on in the spiritual?! The Norwegian had faith, and in perfect Smith Wigglesworth style he told the dog to activate it´s faith and walk! The dog obviously had great faith because it started to walk. Still limping though.

After a couple of hours they went horseback riding. After 5 minutes they were able to catch up with a dog that was running in front of them. It was the dog that only hours before limped severely! Now it was running in front of them with no sign at all of the limping!! It was healed! Praise you Jesus!! The power of God touched that dog´s leg and took away all the pain. The pain had to bow to the name of Jesus Christ.

This concludes today´s news. God is good. All the time!
