Waking up.

My spirit is crying, its time to wake up Tyler! we have so much to do, and i have so much to teach and show you! ahh I cannot even describe what happened. But I can say that before that I was going through a very lazy week in my life just not wanting to really do anything not wanting to talk to my father or anything. We had this teaching about christian world view, and bassically God spoke to me are you gonna kneel to Satan, or stand by my side. And I just proclaimed outloud Jesus you are my saviour and you are my witness I 'm standing up for you to be by your side and to be dangerous for you and be your servant and be this warrior for you, I want to be a man of the spirit!" And i was quickly reminded of the scripture Jeremiah 29:13
                        "You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with all your heart."
He made me a promise, a promise that I will find him and that is so encouraging to hear. Thank you that you will meet me there God. Also God has really been working in my heart about the fear of man, to strike it down forever. Because I have the lord at my side who shall I fear? And as I was thinking about this why do I fear man, why am I scared to talk to people about what I believe it just sounds crazy. I felt like God wanted to strike that our of me before I could move on. So story about this, we were having a worship time   on friday and I asked the spirit " Who do you want me to serve?" and he said "the teacher" and i was like what? and just to let you know this teacher scared me at the beggining of the week. He was a man who had no fear of man and only feared his god. And who just had a huge passion for Christ. and he is very radical. But yeah the spirit said, ask to wash his feet. And i was like really?? are you sure God? and then he sent someone to me and he said that i need to move on in my relationship and be a servant, and I was like okay God I will go and ask... and as i turned to him I said to my self ' NO fear of Man" and it immidietly left and I went and asked him and he said "no". At first I was like what? but doing the act was not what God had in mind. he was seeing if i had a willing heart. Its so crazy how God works sometime... but i would not have changed it for anything. I will wash all the feet in the world for Jesus!
Proverbs 1:7
                     "The fear of the lord is the beginning of all wisdom"
And I just to elaborate something. fearing the lord is to hate what he hates. I have asked the lord how he feels about a certain group of people and i felt their brokenness and now i have compassion for them and love them even though i do not know them. That is the fear of the Lord. and also a really good picture of this is from C.S. Lewis. Azland, from narnia, even though he is a tamed lion and he is so amazing and saves the day, he is still a Lion and is very intimidating. 

One last thing to say we had a concert here at the base last night, friday, and it was just a night where people could experience their saviour jesus. People worshipping their lord, it was just an amazing night, when you would walk into the room you could litterally feel the presence of the spirit, i had no doubt about it. He was working in so many peoples lives last night. it was great so please be praying for those  people who were met by Jesus last night Thank you so much. and i know prayer works, it something i do not out of because im a christian no its because God turns his ear to us when we pray and listens. so thanks:)

I miss everyone so much and thank you for your support and your prayers i am forever grateful.

Judges 12:12-16
                          "When the angel of Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior." "But sir," Gideon replied "If the Lord is with us why has this happened to us? Where are all the wonders that our fathers told us about when they  said, 'Did the Lord not bring us up out of Egypt' But now the Lord has abandoned us and put us in the hand of Midian. The Lord turned to him and said, "Go  in the strength you have and save Israel from Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?" "But Lord Gideon asked "How can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manneseh and I'm the least in my family." The Lord answered " I will be with you, and you will strike down all the midianites together

In Every Season You are Still God

Wow, this is such a powerful line. It was in a song the other day that we were singing and it stuck out to me. In every Season You are still God. When I'm in my highs, when I'm not being joyful, when I'm just in my lows. He is still God. HE is faithful to his word that we will never forsake us. When I'm not rejoicing in  him He is still God. The most powerful being in the universe, that loves me for who I am. In every season in my life he is still the same, unchanging. That's so incredible to hear! could you imagine if somedays you woke up and God was grumpy that day... It would suck! completely suck. I myself and not pleasant to be around in the morning and If God had my grumpiness in the morning that would be absolutely miserable for everyone. Everyday he is there waiting for me to talk to him and give more of his love to me.He is unchanging, his love is unchanging for me. AH our God is just so great, I'm so happy I can call him Friend. He is God no matter what.

Be Bold, Care for each other, and Trust in God

The first team week is over! and the title of this post was our team goal. It was so much fun and I learned so much. The team week is where the base sends us out in different teams in Norway to share the gospel and serve along side with churches. This past week I went with my Team to a high school, evangelized on the street, went to a couple different youth clubs and went to a preschool. Each place was so different with different experiences, its funny to see the different reactions when you approach people here in Norway (Norwegians don't talk to strangers, at all) But I had a couple of personal goals for the week.

1. To trust God that he would teach me what to say. Exodus 4:11-12
2. To speak to as many people as possible.

the 1st Goal I believe I accomplished, when i approached people I said to God, okay God your word says you'll teach me what to say. So please help me speak." and I would be fillethe 1st Goal I believe I accomplished, when i approached people I said to God, okay God your word says you'll teach me what to say. So please help me speak." and I would be filled with the spirit and would felt confident to speak to whoever i would be talking to at that moment. The lord is faithful to his word! and the 2nd goal I accomplished as well it was harder but I did it. I ran into a lot of trouble with language this past week, but it did not stop me from being social! haha As many times as I got rejected when I tried to speak in English I would go and try and find someone else to speak to in English :)d with the spirit and would felt confident to speak whoever i would be talking to at that moment.

If you go to my facebook page we learned a dance you should go watch it, it goes along with what im gonna say. So at first when we learned this dance we thought we were gonna have a big crowd. And I was discouraged, because only 5 people came... And I said to myself oh I'm not dancing in front of five people, that's not worth it. But someone said to me why should we change our program, Jesus loves each individual here so much.
But yeah that was my revelation on that, I hoped you liked the dance it was pretty fun to do! hahah

But wait there's more....


Ever since we got back from team week God has been pouring out his blessings onto me so much, I don't even know where to begin. I guess I can say our God is a God who Blesses us! I've just seen him move in so many ways. 1 Corinthians 14 tells us to eagerly seek the spiritual gifts and I have, and the lord has been just blessing me. And last night a couple of us received and we were filled with so much Joy, I don't even know how to explain it. We were filled with spirit and just praising God and thanking him for he is! that we decided to go out and share Gods Love by blessing people on the streets... And I met a girl who was already a Christian and was greatly encouraged, it was so
cool to see. (I also just want to say I''m not saying


this to  say look how righteous i am, I just want to share what God's been doing in my life)

But yes one last thing dont stop reading yet your almost there:)

Yesterday, Tuesday, we found out where we are going for our 2 week mini-out reach in January. And my mom almost went crazy because we were not allowed to talk about where we were going but I am going to..... wait for it..... here it comes..... ESTONIA


Hebrews 13:5b-6 
"Never will I leave you, never I will forsake you" So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
