Hi my precious brothers and sisters in Christ
I'm being led by the Holy Spirit to share those things I'm going to share. The LORD wants me to tell you about couple of encounters to show you that GOD wants to reveal himself to us in those ways too. It is fantastic and it is a privilege to share those words because I'm full of words about those things. This is a testimony how I'm doing and what the LORD is doing today in my life, what he is teaching me about him through the scriptures and encounters with GOD. The LORD Jesus wants me to tell you those things to encourage others and myself to seek beyond your belief. Seek into the heavenly realm and seek GOD more and more.
Those words are annointed by the Holy Spirit and I know when you read those words and experiences and encounters, you will start to get more hungry for GOD and you will start to find him in more ways than before. You will encounter GOD more and get more experiences from himself. I say this to you because the LORD wants to be intimate with us. He wants intimate relationships, he wants us to see him, he wants us to talk to him, he wants us to reach to him not just in bad times of our lives. He wants us to talk to him in good times too. He wants to talk to us too. Prayer is a dialog not a monologue. I don't build my FAITH on experiences, I build my FAITH on Jesus Christ which is our ROCK. But because the LORD has given me GRACE to encounter those experiences and encounters, I know in my heart that the LORD wants others to encounter him in those ways too. The LORD is no respector of persons. He wants to give us those experiences because he loves us. He wants us to know him intimately. But we shall start now and I know some of you will not agree what I write but it's okay.
To start with, after I got saved easter 2003 I started to having dreams. Dreams which told me what I would be doing in my future. The LORD gave me those prophetic dreams to see His Call on my life. Today I'm dreaming almost every night. And I believe that those dreams which I have been dreaming comes from GOD. It is true that not all supernatural experiences comes from GOD but do you know what. Here is what I have learned: Don't seek the supernatural!! Seek the LORD himself and suddenly we start to live in the supernatural. Don't seek blessings, gifts or other things. Yes, I know Paul wrote that we should seek the gifts especially the gift of prophesy, but do you know what. There is a better way to get those gifts and blessings. It is by seeking the Blesser, the Giver, the Miracle Worker. We are to seek GOD with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength and start to LOVE him with all our being.
But there is another thing I have been learning is that we need to get GODLY FEAR. We must seek His GODLY FEAR. We must obey GOD when He tells us to do something. I hear the LORD speak to me and today I hear it almost every day. "Don't fear the man or the enemy, FEAR ME Because I have the Power to destroy body and soul" I hear this almost every day. Those are couple of points which GOD has been dealing with me and I must inform you about that because GOD wants us to FEAR the LORD with a GODLY FEAR. I actually have experienced this GODLY FEAR when the LORD started to reveal himself to me.
There are two experiences which I need to share with you and it can be painful for you to read those words but those encounters are REAL Encounters with GOD and I know that the LORD will touch many by using me to write those words. Remember: Don't build your FAITH on experiences or encounters. Build your most holy FAITH on the Rock, Jesus Christ who died for us and shed his blood for us to save us so we could be together in Heaven. But we must be His Light on this earth and tell others about Jesus. Share the Gospel to people who are unsaved and take the cross. But here are the experiences, maybe some will start crying or laughing with the JOY of the LORD. Some will change and some will really start to seek GOD rather than in the blessings and gifts of GOD. Don't misunderstand me, gifts and blessings are good. But you see, once, the LORD told me to seek Him, not the gifts or blessings.
Here is the reason: If we seek only in his blessings and gifts or supernatural encounters the enemy can come and give us false blessings, and false gifts, false fruits and so on. But if you seek GOD himself then the enemy has no chance to fake GOD's Nature and you will know GOD. GOD doesn't allow the enemy to fake GOD's Nature, His holiness, his LOVE, his Mercy, his Forgiveness and do you know what. If you seek the LORD you will get all the promises, blessings and gifts which are written in the Bible. And they are not false. This is what GOD told me. Jesus doesn't change.
First experience was very deep and it touched me so deeply. I was in my bed and at 06:00am I heard the Holy Spirit cry. When I hear him cry like a baby I asked him: Why are you crying? I felt sadness in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit was sad and felt bad.
Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me: People neglect me, people don't know me, Christians don't know me. There was some break and then the Holy Spirit spoke again: I was sent to glorify Jesus, I was sent to guide people into all TRUTH, I was sent to convict person/s of their sins, righteousness and judgement.
When the Holy Spirit spoke those words I felt humbleness in my heart. The Holy Spirit is humble in heart.
Then the Holy Spirit said: Have I not said, don't grief the Spirit? Without Me there is no resurrection, no hope, no conviction. It was through My Power that Jesus was raised up from the dead, the Holy Spirit said. How can I take the church deeper when Christians don't know Me? I want to take the church deeper intimacy but when people neglect Me then I can't take her deeper .
After some time the Holy Spirit spoke: Tell!! Tell your brothers and sisters in Christ. Tell people what I have told you. Teach who I am, my son. Tell everybody what I told you. Then the Holy Spirit said: When you preach, preach about Jesus and talk about Me. Then the Holy Spirit said to me: I have given you wisdom to teach people who I am.
And I said to the Holy Spirit: Yes, I will tell others, I will tell my brothers and sisters in Christ about you. I shall teach them who you are. I LOVE you Holy Spirit and I don't want to hurt you!! I will tell others about you.
The second experience I had was with Jesus himself, it was awesome. I pray that those words will develop hunger within the reader's heart. It happened couple of days ago when I encountered Jesus. I was in Heaven. It is written in the Bible that we shall come boldly before GOD's Throne. GOD wants us to reach into higher level with him, into deeper intimacy with the Holy Spirit and with Jesus. Some may think I'm crazy but what I'm going to tell exactly what happened. It was at 11:00am and I said to the LORD: Now I come boldly before your throne LORD, and I called to the LORD and said: I'm home now, I'm in Heaven now. I'm going to see you LORD Jesus Hallelujah. Suddenly when I spoke those words, I was in Heaven. And then I saw Jesus, He welcomed Me. I saw in my spirit Me running to him and jump into his arms, into his lap. And I completely changed into a baby. And then when I was in his arms, the LORD started to tickle me. And I started to laugh like crazy and he didn't stop. I didn't want him to stop and then I said: Dad, stop tickling me with a smile in my face. Then I saw Jesus stop tickling me and smile to me. And then I saw myself lay my head on His heart and the LORD started to share his heart with me. He gave me couple of visions of what he sees. I saw icecream which was green and I said to the LORD Jesus: Oh, Dad, gimme gimme, I want the ice, give me the ice, and he gave me. And when I licked the icecream I literally felt the icecream in my mouth and it was like I was eating the icecream in reality. This experience was so full of JOY, it was awesome. I laughed after this experience and was overflowed with JOY. It was awesome. I didn't see it very clear but the LORD spoke to me about that. When you pray in tongues you will see it clearer. But Jesus showed more than that, he showed me who was getting healed and he showed me His children. It was awesome, I had tears in My eyes after this experience.
I pray now LORD Jesus that those who has been reading this have got the hunger within their hearts. I pray LORD Jesus that you show them your LOVE, and reveal yourself to them like you have been revealing yourself to me. I pray that those who read those words will get a deeper intimacy and reach into the heavenly realm. As you said when I left, "you can come whenever you want. You must trust and believe and you will reach into the heavenlies." I LOVE you LORD Jesus so much, I'm so on FIRE, let your FIRE flow into this writing LORD and may those readers feel that those words aren't from myself, it's from you LORD. Thank you Jesus for letting us step into higher intimacy with the Holy Spirit and thank you Jesus for saving us. You are our Bridegroom LORD Jesus and we are your Bride, let us be in your constant will LORD. Let oil flow from our lamps and we will be the wise virgins who filled the lamps LORD. I pray all this in the NAME of Jesus. Let people be healed through those words and annoint those words LORD. I submit myself to you LORD in your most Holy Will and do what you want me to do in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
GOD bless you all
Gudbjorn

Dear gbjorn,
When I read this testimonie and the last that you wrote by the leading of the Holy Spirit, it reminded me of a friend I have at church. He also had a hard past as you. And it seems to me that His relationship with the Holy Spirit is very similar to yours. I do hope to be that close to the Lord, but I have to have paitence and obedience to God, I think. But Praise be to the LORD, He Gets All the Glory.

Hello Gbjorn,
Thank you so much for trusting in God and for sharing your encounter. I believe you. Other evangelists have had similar encounters with the Lord (like Benny Hinn and Jesse Duplantis). What you said about seeking God and fearing Him confirms messages I've been hearing lately. It is true. God's word says, "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you." At my Bible study, the minister recently taught about fearing God...people who do not fear Him keep going back into the same sins. So it's extremely important to fear God. After all, it's only by His permission that we have breath! He deserves our reverence, our worship, and our praise!
God bless you and keep the faith,
Charity

Hi gbjorn, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences. I am new here, and I read your testimony for the first time today. And even though you wrote this over a year ago, I could feel the power of the spirit as I read your words.
I believe they are annointed words from begining to end, and I believe that I have been changed in my heart because of your faith.
About 3 years ago I was led by God in a Walmart store to buy The Daily Chase. I had never heard of this guy before, never heard of his books either. But I was drawn to it, and opened it up to the only chapter that would entice me to buy the book. It was titled "Many have become "milk babies" in padded pews." I never read a book that moved me like this one did! I laughed, I cried, I prayed, I cried out to the Lord while reading this book.
Today I took it off the bookshelf and flipped through the back of it, got on the site, and I've spent the day reading. It's been inspiring to me to read the testimonies, the different topics and replys, etc.. especialy yours gbjorn. I've felt connected with many of you, because we share a common love. I needed this, and I'm so glad the Lord led me to this site today! I want to go deeper in my walk with the Lord, and I'm encouraged today. gbjorn, you remind me that I also have had awesome experiences with the Lord, and can again! Your words have helped to re-kindle the flame inside me!! I know when I get off here, I will be seeking the Lord with a renewed passion! Thank you, I hope to read much more from you.

Hello I started chasing after God in 1987 and it is November 2007 and I am still on fire for God. He is awesome you can always learn from His Word and other brothers and sisters. It is great to be a God chaser. To be in God's Holy presence for a moment can change your view, heart and you come away ready to change the world as he leads. Sometimes I have expierences where I just look back over where he has brought me from and how blessed it has been to walk with God
