Our speach affects us ourselfs as well as others

 The mouth speaketh what the heart is full of.

Many today and by this I mean, in particular, among the Christians, only have two things on their brain, as these are the only things they seem to share about frequent.

But let me start by going into obey the power and authority that God has put there for our sake.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. Rom 13:1-8

There are lots of conspiracy theories, some I don´t believe in at all, but this I do believe; There are people who want to reduce the population on earth and are working and using all means neccassary towardsit.
Does that mean that we should be hyper-focused on this? According to me, the answer is no.

The only thing that falls outside the scope of obeying power and authority, according to me, is not to worship other people like we worship God, if we do these become an idol for us.

Over to Revelation and Antichrist coming forth into power. I do not know exactly when it will happen, but one thing I am rather convinced of, we aren´t there yet, even less so, in the middle of the seven years of his reign.

So when people then acts as if we are already there in protests against what is going on; What are they thinking?

The Scripture tells us that the earth is the Lords and everything that is on it. He is the one who is in control. If God himself allows what is happening now, why do we go against it and protest?

The thoughts go over to when the Jewish people were brought in captivity to Babel. Those who went out to Kaldées and went to them, they would live, the others who did not would die. Over and over again they were warned of their sin and God had patience for a good long while, until the judgment fell. Jer 21.

When we protest against what´s happening, as it´s probable to assume that God Himself allows it, are we being obedient then? Or are we just as much rebellious as most of the story of the captivity in Babel? Most people did not believe Jeremia but believed that God would save them as he had done before.

And beyond that, why combat what might very well be a preparation for the antichrist to be able to come to power. Do we really honestly think that if we protest against what´s happening now, we will be able to stop what´s about happen? Or do we even believe that the antichrist will not be able to come to power if we protest loud enough?

I don't have the answer for how others think. I myself however, don´t think we can not stop God's plan for how everything will work to it´s completion. It doesn´t matter if this is done through those who want to reduce the population of the earth or otherwise. If we read the Scriptures, we know that everything will come into it´s fullfillment, every little thing God said will happen, will happen.

We all received this day in Sweden to live in reasonable peace, let's have the focus on that instead of on what the focus is for so many. One day at a time, until we see the ugly side of antichrist. Until then, we can continue to work, but after 3 ½ years of his reign, there will be differnt.

If we start complaining and protesting now, what function comes out of it, except possibly that we may even go against God's own plan? Let's think about it and let our thoughts be full of what the Scripture says, let that be what comes out of us.

Greetings of peace Ingemo

The importance of forgiving and the consequences of not forgiving.

Technically, the congregation has ceased to exist, but since we still have meetings together with Lönnbergs Church and the Swedish Salvation...
