Når tro blir en byrde: Når frykt forvrenger det åndelige livet (religiøse påtrengende tanker) (3)
For mange er troen en kilde til fred, trygghet og glede. Men for noen kan den også bli en arena for intense bekymringer og påtrengende tanker. OCD (også kalt scrupulosity) er en form for angst der frykten for å miste frelsen, synde ubevisst eller ikke være “god nok” for Gud blir altoppslukende.

Tro og kjærlighet overvinner frykt
Hva er det egentlig som overvinner frykt? Tro og kjærlighet. Men hvordan får vi denne troen? Er det ved å anstrenge oss, ta oss kraftig sammen, eller gjenta «jeg tror» hundre ganger? Nei, tro handler ikke om selvdisiplin eller prestasjon. Det handler om å se hvem Gud er – at Han er kjærlighet – og å sette vår lit til Ham.

Frihet fra religiøse påtrengende tanker – Overvinne perfeksjonisme (2)
Perfeksjonisme i troen kan føre til en uendelig streben etter å være “god nok” for Gud, drevet av en frykt for ikke å tilfredsstille de høye standardene man tror er nødvendige. Dette kan resultere i konstant selvkritikk, skyldfølelse og en følelse av utilstrekkelighet, selv når man gjør sitt beste.

Hvordan overvinne påtrengende og tilbakevendende tanker (1)
Har du noen gang blitt fanget i en spiral av bekymringer som: Har jeg gjort alt riktig? Hva om jeg har såret noen? Eller hva om jeg har en alvorlig sykdom uten å vite det? Åndelige spørsmål kan være like plagsomme: Ber jeg nok? Er jeg til behag for Gud? Synder jeg for mye? Har jeg mistet frelsen? Mange sliter med slike tanker uten å vite hvorfor. Jeg har selv erfart dette i mange år før jeg innså at det kunne skyldes obsessiv-kompulsiv lidelse (OCD), spesielt en form som kalles religiøs OCD. Ved å forstå denne tilstanden, kan vi finne...

Kommer Jesus tilbake?
2024 var et år med mange engasjerte diskusjoner i norske kristne miljøer om endetiden og hvordan man skal tolke Jesu profetier. To teologiske retninger sto i fokus: dispensasjonalismen og preterismen. For noen har dette ført til forvirring, særlig når begge sider hevder å ha rett og støtter seg på Bibelen. Hvem skal man tro? Hvordan kan man finne trygghet midt i ulike tolkninger? Jeg vil dele min personlige reise gjennom denne debatten — fra uro og frykt til en dypere forståelse og ydmykhet. La oss se nærmere på hva som virkelig er klart i Skriften, og hva vi kan læ...

Frykt ikke, Gud er med deg!
Gud er nær deg – Frykt ikke Vi møter alle situasjoner i livet hvor frykt, bekymring eller rådvillhet truer med å overvelde oss. Men midt i vår situasjon kommer Gud til oss med en trøstende påminnelse: “Frykt ikke, for jeg er med deg!” Dette er ikke bare ord – det er en levende sannhet fra hjertet av vår himmelske Far. Uansett hva du står overfor, husk at Guds kjærlige hånd holder deg oppe. Hans styrke er din styrke, og hans løfter står fast. La oss finne fornyet mot og fred i vissheten om at Gud e

Gud har kommet nær
Julens budskap er enkelt og fantastisk: Gud har kommet nær. Han er ikke en fjern Gud, men en som elsker oss så høyt at han selv tok steget for å gjenopprette fellesskapet med oss. Gjennom Jesu fødsel i Betlehem ble dette mulig. Jesus er Immanuel – Gud med oss – en påminnelse om at Gud lengter etter oss og ønsker å være nær oss, hver dag.

Du er akseptert og fri
Du trenger ikke å bli «fikset» – du trenger å oppdage at du allerede er fullt ut akseptert! Gud har akseptert deg helt og holdent, akkurat som du er. Når du virkelig ser og forstår dette, vil både dine tanker og din oppførsel naturlig begynne å forvandles. Det kristne livet handler om å bli fornyet i tankene våre, slik at vi stadig får en dypere forståelse av hvor høyt vi er elsket og akseptert av Ham. Denne sannheten setter oss fri. Når vi lever i denne erkjennelsen, får den makt til å bryte gjennom narsissisme, stolthet, overtenkning, tvang...

Løgnen om hvem du er
En stor løgn djevelen vi at du skal tro på er at du er bare en ussel, svak og syndefull skapning, og når du synder er Gud misfornøyd, skuffet og sint på deg. Hvordan ser Gud på deg når du har falt i en synd? Forandrer hans syn på deg når du har gjort noe galt? Kan jeg fortelle deg en god nyhet? Gud elsker deg fordi du er skapt i hans bilde, og fordi du er hans sønn eller datter. Dette vil aldri forandre seg!

Kjærligheten driver all frykt ut
Johannes 4:18-19 lærer oss om Guds kjærlighet som driver ut all frykt. Frykt kommer fra en forventning om straff, men Guds fullkomne kjærlighet gir trygghet og fred. Frykt i forholdet til Gud viser at vi ennå ikke helt har forstått hans kjærlighet fult ut. Verset minner oss om at vi elsker Gud fordi Han først elsket oss. Når vi oppdager Guds kjærlighet mer og mer, blir vår frykt erstattet med tillit og visshet om at vi er trygge i Hans armer og i hans kjærlighet. Vi kan bli fri våre frykt tan

Guds vilje og lidelser – Hva med Jobs lidelser og Paulus’ torn i kjødet?
Når vi møter lidelser i livet, kan det være fristende å spørre: Hvorfor skjer dette med meg? Er dette en del av Guds plan? To av Bibelens mest kjente figurer, Job og Paulus, opplevde stor lidelse, men deres historier gir ulike perspektiver på hvordan vi kan forstå prøvelser og utfordringer. Var Jobs lidelser en konsekvens av frykt, og hva var egentlig Paulus’ “torn i kjødet”? Gjennom deres erfaringer kan vi få dypere innsikt i hvordan troende kan møte motgang med utholdenhet og avhengighet av Gud. La oss se på deres historier for å avdekke hva de kan lære oss om...

Guds vilje og lidelser – Kommer lidelser fra Gud?
Er lidelse en del av Guds plan og vilje? Mange har stilt dette spørsmålet når de møter smertefulle situasjoner i livet. Mens noen tror at lidelser er en måte Gud straffer eller tester oss på, er Bibelen tydelig på at lidelse i seg selv ikke er noe Gud ønsker for sine barn. Så hvorfor opplever vi lidelse som troende? Hva betyr det å “ta opp sitt kors” og følge Jesus? Gjennom denne undervisningen vil vi se på hva det innebærer å følge Kristus, selv når det innebærer å møte motgang og utfordringer.

Guds vilje og sykdom
Sykdom er en virkelighet mange av oss må forholde oss til, men er det virkelig Guds plan for våre liv? Mange har kanskje blitt fortalt at sykdom er en byrde vi må bære, eller at Gud bruker sykdom for å lære oss noe. Men hva sier egentlig Bibelen? Kan vi tro at Gud vil at vi skal være friske? Gjennom Jesu liv og offer finner vi et radikalt budskap – et budskap om frihet fra både synd og sykdom. La oss se litt dypere på dette kraftfulle temaet og oppdage hva Guds hjerte virkelig er for helbredelse.

Guds vilje, skjebnetro og bønn
Hva om bønn er mer enn bare ord vi sender opp til himmelen? Hva om det faktisk er et nøkkelverktøy som Gud ønsker vi skal bruke for å bringe hans vilje inn i våre liv og denne verden? Mange tenker at alt som skjer er forutbestemt av Gud, men Jesus lærte oss å be om at Guds vilje skal skje – noe som antyder at vi har en viktig rolle å spille i dette. I dag skal vi se på hvordan bønn, er langt fra å være en kjedelig plikt, faktisk kan bli en spennende og dynamisk kraft når vi forstår...

Du er et mesterverk!
Har du noen gang tenkt over hva det vil si å være et mesterverk? I et kunstverk er det kunstnerens håndverk, visjon og hjerte som gir verket verdi, ikke materialene det er laget av.

Do We Have Two Natures? Identity Confusion
Many Christians are often a bit confused about whether we as Christians have two natures. Some people teach that we have one nature before we became a Christian, and when we are born again we got another, new nature. This new nature is in conflict with the old one, and often we can still feel that the old nature is most dominant. The solution some preachers give is that you have to feed the good side of yourself, the new nature, so that the old one does not take over again. But that’s a lot of work

When is God Pleased?
When is God pleased and satisfied with us? Many Christians struggle with this question. I had a quiz on my website for a while back, and one of the questions I had was: When do we please God? I was amazed how many people wrote: It is when I pray, don’t do any sins, sing worship songs, do evangelism, lead someone to Jesus and so on. The focus was on what we need to do, but what is it that really satisfies God?

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...

Does God Want to Use You?
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 a nine 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...

Do We Have to Give the Tithe
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 then you will go to hell, for those who are stingy will not inherit the ki...

The Joy is Our Strength
The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength (Neh. 10: 8). If you are depressed and worried do you have strength? We have little strength and power if we do not have joy. The joy is in you already, but you need to discover it more and more. We also have an enemy who is looking for an opportunity to steal our joy and peace. Learn how to discover more of this joy, which can even heal you and set you free. I have also include some personal stories in this encouragement.

Love Keeps No Record of Wrongs
We have probably all heard that God is love (1Joh 4:8), but what does that really mean? Some believe that God only has love, it's only one of his attributes, and he will show it to us when we deserved it or when we have behaved good. Some believe he only loves me and will hear my prayer when have repented from all of the sins I have done, and they maybe even think: All sins I have done since I was a child and I need to know exactly what I did. There are a lot of people who are...

In this world it is easy to be stressed out. It can be all from work, circumstances, family, bad report when it comes to sickness or even when it comes to know our identity. As a believer in a mighty God, we should not give into this stress, but the reality is that we are not so much different from people in this world. We still let this things get to us and even control us. And you are not alone, and sometimes I ask why? We have an answer that this world dose not have, and a hope and...

You Are More Valuable Than You Think!
We are all looking for value and being someone important. We are all looking for love. I think if we truly saw our value this world would look very different! This applies not only to the non-Christians, but to us Christians as well! I think there would be less gossip, envy and judging others if we really saw who we truly are, I actually think these things would not be a problem, even sin would not be a problem anymore if we truly saw who we are!

The Spirit and the Flesh?
Many Christians don't understand Galatians 5:17 very well, about the struggle between the Spirit and the flesh. Many people when they look at this verse they think that this it is about our new spirit and nature, fighting against the evil part of me, called the flesh. It means I still have a struggle on the inside and I have to constantly try to be in my spirit and try to kill the flesh, the evil side of myself. First, notice that the Spirit is capitalised, that means it's not about your spirit but God's Spirit. Secondly, remember that the flesh...

You are the Fruit of the Spirit
Someone might wonder about this headline? But I will explain to you what I mean with this headline during this teaching. For many years I was afraid of reading Galatians 5 where it is talking about the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. I was afraid that if I did some of the acts of the flesh, I did not belonged to God anymore. I sometimes could get angry, I experienced jealousy and I know I did some of works of the flesh, and then it says that those who do such things should not inherit the...

Can I Lose My Salvation?
I can actually tell you my answer right away: You can't! When you hear this answer and statement, you may think: You must be a Bible teacher who says that it is perfectly fine to sin and we can sin as much as we want without any consequences. Can I tell you one thing: There is no place in the Bible where it says you can lose your salvation in the same way that you might lose your wallet, for example. Salvation is not something you suddenly lose, like doing a sin or falling into a sin. One of the...

Are Lusts and Desires Sin?
Some think of our desires and desire as something evil. Especially when we read this verse: James 1:14-15 14 But each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced by them . 15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin, when it is fully formed, brings forth death. Can I tell you one thing: Your lusts and desires are created by God and they are good. In fact, they are absolutely essential to our existence.

Sin Is A Power
It is a spiritual evil force and power called sin, and it is our enemy. When other hurt me, I know that they do not see the truth about who they are, and when somebody sins against me, I also know that they are not what they do, but it is a spirit that is behind, and it's called sin, and it has tricked them to choose to do the wrong thing.

You Are Not Sin
Your enemy is not yourself, but the lies you believe about yourself. We as Christians say that we have the answered for the problem of sin, which is Jesus, but in the practical life, it often does not look like it. Many Christians struggle with sin as much as the non-Christians, some even more, although they may manage to maintain a better facade. in addition they struggle more with condemnation, guilt and self-condemnation. You may find that some non-Christians can often exercise better self-discipline than many Christians. What is this so? Is there an answer?

How you handle this subject depends on your image of God. If you have a picture of a judgmental and...

Bring Bad Thoughts Into Captivity
What I want in this teaching is to help you to distinguish between what thoughts are from you, what thoughts are from God and what thoughts are from the devil. We must distinguish between what is from God and what is not, for the enemy has even made you believe many of his thoughts and lies. It might be that he sends thoughts that it is God who condemned you for a sin you did, but those condemning thoughts came from him. He is called the accuser, not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our helper and comforter. Remember...

Not All Thoughts That You Have Are Your Thoughts
Many Christians struggle to find out if thoughts they have comes from them, God or the devil. Today, I will share from Jeremiah 29:11, and this verse gives us a an answer. The thoughts God has for us are peace, no thoughts of evil or something bad. In other words, evil thoughts come from our enemy, the devil, thoughts that bring peace and hope, and thoughts of a good future comes from God!

He Forgave All Your Sins
Many Christians fear that they have not been forgiven by God because they have not yet been able to fully forgive others. They want to forgive, but they still have negative feelings towards those who have hurt them. They can easily be condemned by what Jesus is saying in Matthew 18:35, that if we do not forgive our neighbor with our heart, God will not forgive us, but reject us and punish us, which makes us have the fear that God has not forgiven us. I often skipped this scripture and was afraid of it myself, I wished it was not...

Do we constantly need to ask for forgiveness to stay forgiven?
When Am I Forgiven? (Part 2) What about the first letter of John saying that God does not forgive us before we have confessed our sins? If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so he forgives us from sin and purifies us from all unrighteousness. This is a scripture many use to explain that God has not forgiven us until we have made up for our sin and asked for forgiveness. It may seems, when we read this, that God has not forgiven us until we do the next sin and that we constantly must remember to ask...

But what about what Jesus did on the cross? And what about John 3:16 and 17? What about Jesus that Jesus has forgiven all sin, for all, once and for all? I think some mix...
