RoFMI Visit to Denmark 18 to 21 June 2010

Two teams – one to Norway and one to Denmark !! That’s a new one for us to have two teams on simultaneous visits. This intrepid reporter went to Denmark so I will concentrate on that for now and tell you about Norway later. Six of us went in two cars to the airport fairly early on Friday morning and arrived in Billund Airport in Denmark around 10:00am to be met by Michael, our host, and Frank. Their mini-bus was sufficient for all of us so we all piled in and drove to a town called Middelfart, which means the middle way, and which is just about as central in Denmark as you can get.

We went to the church where we met Heidi, Michael’s lovely wife, and their children. We then deposited Jean & John with them before Peter, Ruth, Keith, and I went to stay with Dan and Greta our lovely personal hosts – about a mile away. Now let me explain here that only about 20% of what we do on these trips is reportable so I can only give you a flavour of what happens. So – the four of us (Peter, Ruth, Keith, and I) went on to Frank & Helge’s house/building project about 15 km away. I say building project because they are 6 months into a rebuild and complete refurbishment of an old farm house and stable block. When finished this will be a beautiful home for them and their four children – and sheep , ponies, dog, and cats. Wonderful fellowship for an hour or two.

Back at the church in the evening for fellowship with some people from the church and where Peter spoke briefly on the coming revival – signs and prophecies about it and generally preparing folk for the impact it will make to their lives. One word given was this – “Get ready to train your teams for the time of preparation is coming to an end. This is for the shepherds as well as the flock for some shepherds I will pass over – I have told them and told them and they have done nothing.” How will revival come? Through ordinary repentant people like you and me !! God cannot use us unless there is repentance. Do you think God will bring people like Reinhardt Bonnke here to bring revival? No – he will use ordinary people like you and me !! It is time to tell Satan who we are in Christ and not who he tells us we are. Satan is a liar !! It is not so much who you are but whose you are.

On Saturday morning we went to Jakob & Dorthe’s home for more fellowship where the Lord showed Peter a map of the Middelfart area and drew two lines across it – dividing it into three smaller areas. Various prophecies were given for them and their two lovely girls – one of whom ‘adopted’ Peter with all sorts of wonderful little gifts. We prayed for the whole family before lunch and then returning to the church for another open meeting on the prophetic and revival. A group of around 25 people assembled including our great friends Preben and Maureen from Korsor who were in the area on holiday. Peter spoke on the price of revival and of the prophetic ‘signs of the times’ spoken of in the Bible. Signs like the 11 year old girl who had a very clear vision of the return of Jesus – like the 10 or 11 year old children prostrated before the Lord under the power of the Holy Spirit – like the 86 year old lady who has been promised that she will not only see end time revival but also the Bridegroom coming for His Bride. We also heard about something absolutely unprecedented where in one church the entire leadership team stood down so that younger people could step up into leadership positions !! Peter also gave a word on John 21:15-19 “Do you love me?” Prayer and prophecy concluded the meeting.

Saturday night we drove to Sallinge to Pastor Saresh, his wife Eva and their children – all 7 of them – where we had a wonderful meal before their church joined us for an evening of praise & worship and fellowship. I spoke briefly about the gifts of the Spirit given to children being the same gifts that we adults receive. The Peter spoke about personal holiness and that judgement starts with the church – us – first. We need to clean ourselves first. He spoke of a vision of the harvest fields being ready but full of mice nibbling away to the harvest and destroying it. The enemy is trying to rob us of the harvest but we have the authority to stop him so we need to tell him to leave the harvest alone. Once again the picture of who we are in Christ – whose we are – came up. Jesus words – “greater things than these will you do” were emphasised. None of us is too old or too young to serve the Kingdom of God – whom He uses, He qualifies. The key is repentance and Peter used two examples from recent events in Norway. We got home a bit late early Sunday morning J

At church on Sunday morning we had a short time of ministry before lunch and then a more extended time after lunch. After anointed praise and worship, Peter spoke about Amos 3:7 where nothing happens without God speaks to his prophets first. Peter warned the church that there is a major move of God coming to Middelfart and the whole of Denmark. He went so far as to say that, if there is not a significant move of God within the next three months, then they may call him a false prophet and tell every church in Denmark and have his name banned too. That sent a shock-wave through the whole church. But then, he put up the town map and invited all who were prepared to pay the price of revival to join him and lay hands on the map and call for God to move in power in their town. He spoke of an Acts 2 series of events – that everyone in the town knows where their church is (it’s in the former mental hospital) and that it could become the focal point for all whom God calls to repentance and revival.

One of the people at the meeting on Friday was asked what they would be doing later. They said they would be watching the Denmark/Cameroon match on TV. Peter asked if he wanted to know the score – before the match began and he went on to say that it will be 2-1 to Denmark which was correct. Peter then used this as an example saying that if God could correctly give football results as a sign then why wouldn’t any other prophecy be fulfilled. Houses are being shaken too (just as they were in the Hebridean revival) – Yes even in Denmark! In Korsor where we went two weeks ago, people are reporting that their houses are shaking and that they are hearing strange noises from the sea – so much so that they have telephoned the military to find out what was happening. Then they returned to the home of the Christians where we had the outreach BBQ. Peter reminded the church of this; and that elsewhere, people are coming under conviction and seeking the Lord through the nearest Christian they can find. He said, “As in Acts we here are now in one room and of one accord – in agreement. If we give God our permission now, then He will move just as He promises in His Word.

Revival is not what we do, but it is what God does as a sovereign act – and we need to be ready. He then proclaimed the end of Satan’s authority in that town – he called for the Holy Spirit to come in power and fire to Middelfart in the precious Name of Jesus !!

After a period of ministry, we all departed for Peter and Anne-Lise two missionaries who have returned to the town for such a time as this. After this we went to Aage & Bente for more times of ministry and fellowship before concluding a wonderful Lords day with the church and people of Middelfart.

On Monday we drove out of town to Gurli & Helge’s lovely home for lunch and more fellowship. They have a beautiful home with a huge garden – it is two old houses joined together as one where they can accommodate around 12 people. There were several words of prophecy for them all before we came back to the church to collect all our stuff together and have a final coffee & cake session of fellowship together with Michael and Heidi and their family. A good flight home, a coffee with Peter & Glenys before I finally made it home too.

A wonderful trip – all praise and Glory to God \o/
