Hebrew 3.1: Therefore, holy brethren, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest, whom we confess.
For this verse is good to know how it is written in the basic text in Greek. The meaning then will be that Jesus is the high priest and the apostle of our confessions. It means; what we confess on the earth, he brings further to God the father and when we confess his word on this earth it will happen accordingly. When we believe and confess....
A word has power in it selves and if we read in Proverbs 18,.21 we find: "The tongue has the power of life and death and those who use it, will eats its fruit." It means, when we speak words they will be for life or for death. Read also about the power of the tongue in the letter of Jacob.3.1-10!

The Chrystal night
The Esther group, Hamar, arranged an extraordenary rememberance night in Hamar the 9th of November. The guest of honour this evening was Jahn Otto Johansen.
The night was silent and the streets nearly empty, but through Hamar a procession of about 70 - 80 people with torch lights made their way with help of a police car in front.
When I listen to such people as Jahn Otto Johansen, I am thankful to God and proud of being a Norwegian.
He gave an appeal first on the market square and then inside an auditory close by he delivered a lecture on antiSemitism, - Someone is never afraid of speaking words about righteousness and they never give up. Jahn Otto Johansen is one of them!
I am glad that some more people came to the auditory afterwards; maybe about 110-120 attended. But where were the press photographers? I couldn't see them at all. Are we forgetting to honor the old and wise men and women in our nation, and are we forgetting to learn about what they have to say?
Anyway, he let us to know: he has a lot of knowlegde -and wisdom too.
He spoke about antiSemitism throughout history and focused on different countries in Europe. He also reminded us that the Christians have promoted it a lot. Already in a church council in year 888, they made a clear statement, that it is forbidden to have meals with both Christians and Jews.
Then he also reminded us about the historical fact that there were no ghettoes before the great crusades and the Inquisition. It means there were no ghettoes before around year 1000-1100 after Christ.
To be more clear: The ghettoes actually came with the crusades and the inquisition.
Few countries have openly regreted for their antisemtism during Second Worldwar, but Germany has. Jahn Otto also used some time to focused that. It came up in the sixties when the young generation asked their daddies: What did you do in the Second World war? - Every year, in the middle of Berlin they are reading the names of the Jews they lost because of Nazism. - 55 000 names are being red loud: why? They don't want the offers to be nameless. Another example:" Mein Kampf " of Hitler is forbidden to sell in Germany, but like in Austria and in Russia they are selling it openly in the streets.
We should ever be ashamed, as Christians, about what we throughout history have done towards the Jews, and it should make us always to live in repentance for doing what is right towards them.Then we should also guard our-selves against all kind of hate and contempt to all people groups. And if we still have some kind of this hatress or contempt, we should get rid of it by confessing our sin before God.
Let us always be curious about the true facts in history. It can help us to do right in future!

Choose the good friends!
Brawlers and mockers are not the very best ones to be in companionship with..
Proverbs in the Bible, chapter 20 vers 1 tell us: Wine is a mocker and strong drink a browler.
Why then, being friend with them?

Let it never happen again!
For remembrance of the Chrystal nightØstre Torg in Hamar: 9.Nov.2010 kl.17.30: Appeal by Jahn Otto Johansen. Torchlight procession follows straight afterwards.( Arranged by the Esthergroup in Hamar)
That night, in Germany, 72 year ago a terrible violence was effected against the Jews.
Almost all the synagogues were burnt and the Jewish shops and houses were damaged; about 7000 during that night. A great number of Jews were killed. 20 000 Jews were sent to concentration camps. This was the start of the extermination of altogether 6 million Jews during Second World War! -Of these 1,5 million were children.
The hate against the Jews is again increasing! In Scandinavia Jews are persecuted. Media is again making fun of the Jew. Of some Holocaust is even renounced!
After the torchlight procession will Jahn Otto Johansen have a speech in the Festiviteten in Hamar at 19.30!!!
Bring 20 Norwegian kroner to buy torchlight and join all the evening!

The Israelday, yesterday, was remarkable!
Yesterday, for the first time, Hedmark Missioncentre arranged Israelday. About 50 people were listening to Dag Øyvind Juliussen, when he told the truth about the Gaza convoys and made very clear how the Norwegian media are keeping truth, about this matter, away from the people.
The title of his speech was: Israel in the salvationplan of God. That we have to remember our roots. He made clear that the new covenant in the blood of Christ is based upon the covenant that God made with Abraham about 2000 years earlier. The covenant with Abraham is still working, and without that, the Gentiles could not be saved.
Then he focused two events that have to happen before Christ comes back: 1. The gospel has to be preached to all people groups of the world and 2. The Jews will see Jesus who they crusified and recieve salvation through Him.
The Menorah dancing group from Hamar with Julanta as leader was dancing several dances to Jewish songs and did a very good job.
This we enjoyed a lot - and for sure - simalar arrangements will come up in the future!
