John 15 verses 16-17.

Thoughts after house church meeting on zoom, June 6th. Where the theme was John 14 & 15. And those who were leading the house church a couple they started to read those chapters each by them selfs and than together. This was as much as I recall of what I manage to follow before I ” fell out “..

I started to read JOHN 15 and I kind of fell off or out of the ” meeting ” while I read v. 8, v.16-17 and v. 26. They spoke to me. In different ways. How the Lord is Vine and I am a branch (v.8), How HE chose me (v.16-17) & at last HE will send the Spirit & Truth to me (v.26).

Does it speak to you? What are your thoughts about this?


What is my thoughts about the fruit that John is talking about? Have I (you) been in a situation where the Father (the Lord) is the gardener and cuts of the branches of mine that doesn’t produce fruit?

Maybe. I can’t recall any situations right now. But I probobly have. How will I otherwice grow as a Christian person? How does he do it? How does he cut the branches while I still live? Well he doesn’t do it physical it’s a metafor or picture. And what is the fruit? How do I know it is a fruit from the Lord?

I recall one of the others talk about how they were thinking of the fruits. Like being a helping person or testify about what I/you belive. How Jesus is a part of my/your life.

Am I that kind of person, that talks about what I belive to those I meet? No, and I have never been. But I have a tattoo that for me is my testify of my faith. I have chosen to do it this way mostly becauce I have easily to chat with new unknown people.

In John 15 vers 8, Yes, I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who remaine in me and I in them, will produce much fruit.

How to stay and be the good branches? How to produce more fruit? That is my questions after reading this. How can I produce more fruit in my life as a Christian while I am who I am? He is the vine I am the branch. 😍 ✝️


In John 15 verses 16-17; You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. This is my command: Love each other.

HE, Jesus chose me. ✝️

He chose me to Love each other!

To do things out of love, no matter what it is You do for others.


John 15 vers 26; “But I will send you the Advocate —the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.”

This vers talked to me in the way that ” the advocate will come to me from the Father.. ” Whatever happends I will be able to recive this as a believing Christian. I need to seek and read and talk to him who chose me. He has given me this. He has given me the Spirit of thruth! WOW what a gift to recive!! This is big!

How I sharing my faith with those I meet daily. As I wrote above, I have chosen to do it by tattoos (I will finish the one tattoo I started on in 2008 (P.U.S.H.)). Which for other people is just a symbol or letters has a bigger and deeper meaning for me and I know what it stands for and than I tell them my story. How I became a Christian and how those 4 letters is how Christian people around me prayed for me. How theirs prayers became my new path in life. The continuing of this tattoo is F.R.O.G. – Fully Rely On God. My way to the Christian I am today.

How aware are we of what we saying?

Sustainable Life: Relationships

The tongue has power over death and life.

We need to think of how and what we saying in the meeting with friends, new people, Church and family. We need to think what is coming out is it positive or negative?

Presence of positive moments.

Make sure you make positive moments with whomever you meet.

We must take care to replenish with positive words in the day, do not use negative words. Be conscious of what I said.

Why fails to stumble? What is it that makes me repeat things, words, situations without thinking about what was done?

Do they (I) mean everything they (I) say or do they (I) just say something to have something to say?

How aware are we of WHAT we say when we speak?

SMALL THINGS HAVE GREAT POWER

If we want a change we must GO to the source!

What the heart is full of what the mouth is talking about.

I hope this is as inspiring for you as it is for me. We always need to be reminded of this! To be able to live close to the Lord we need to open up our mind.

Clean your home – Clean your heart and soul.

 

 

Clean your home.

“Cleaning my home for me, is when I know I can feel the sent of green soap afterwards.”

I grow up with Thursday as the cleaning day at home and it was always mom that did most of if at least when I was a child. As I grow into a teenager I started to help mom and when I moved out of home as 16 y.o. I brought this cleaning tradition with me. It was naturally for me. I have had some “thinking” about it but I kind of never changed it until for few y.o. It’s been cleaning day on Thursdays so many years of my life that it was a bit weird to suddenly clean the house/home, wash cloths an other day in the week. I have just bought a robot vacuum cleaner to safe my back from more issues and I am pleased with it so far. It is so easy that I only need to sit down, help it to no t “run” into the mat on the floor but my cat – Silver – is as skeptic to the robot “Rob” as to the more common one. Today I took the floor,  washing with green soap. That the perfect end of cleaning at home.

“Is traditions we grow up with that important? Or is it just that we realizing about those tradition’s as adults and just bring them on?”

My mom’s thinking was this, if you clean the house on a Thursday you will have it clean and nice the whole weekend and you can come home from work on the Friday knowing you don’t need to think about cleaning.

It’s nice. But when you as I work weekends that doesn’t really work. I prefer to wash a Sunday if I am free or a Monday. Most times I wash cloths one day and clean the home an other day. It works for now.  And it was during that I started to think more about this of “if we clean our home, then we need to clean our heart and mind and soul too”.

Clean your heart and soul.

It’s not just our homes that needs to be cleaned. Our heart and soul needs it too. I realized that I have been missing to listen to worship for the last week or so, when I started my play-list on Spotify yesterday. I have been feeling emptiness inside. To fill my ears and heart with good Christian music is as much important as to have a cleaned home. In one way I am surprised that I kind of  lost track of the good things after I started the work-experience. In an other way I can understand it, because when I get home after a day or evening from the Hotel I am so exhausted that the only thing that is in my mind is to relax in-front of the television, which I do. It is only when I am free for more then two days I realizing that it is something missing. For me it is my way to clean my soul, to listen to worship or sit by the water and just clear my thoughts. It’s the best way to re-fill my soul, heart and mind with good words. It is easier for me to talk to God, to read an encouraging book or pray with Christian worship in the background. I am the girl that loves hard core and instrumentally heavy metal normally. But this year I have forced myself to listen to more common worship to see if I feel different or if God can speak to me in an other way. So far (nine months in to  it) I can’t say it’s any difference’s of what kind of Christian music I listen to.

As a Christian I need thing that lift me up. I need a Christian fellowship where I can re-fill. To have a fellowship with Christians has become so much more important now when my week is Friday to Tuesday and not Monday to Friday. When Sunday’s isn’t a church-day in the same way as before August..

But I found my Christian fellowship in June, when I went to Torp, Norway. I have now started to be a part of this group on a more regular basis. I can go to church every second Sunday or join the Christian fellowship group on every second Saturday’s. I will see what it will be, this Sunday (the 4th of September) it’s church-day. When it fits I even manage to join my house church too on Thursday’s. I know I need it and I want it. Since I became a Christian the Christian Fellowship is the most important then go to church on a Sunday. The worship, shearing  daily life and praying. Talk about life in a small or bigger group where I feel at home is the thing. Knowing that I have friends that will pray for me when I need it there in the group, when I am in the Hotel or have free and that I can be a part of the prayer for my friends. That’s when God can show us all his power.

A new journey has started in my Christian life, to found out what fits with work, what is the next step about my Christian fellowship and which church is mine? And I know God has a plan that fit’s my life!

I am as curious now as before the 1st of August or even more about what God has for me the rest of this year. 2016.

Do you remember to clean your heart, soul, thoughts and mind?
