A word for you!

In a time of uncertainty and economic confusion, there are many who feel worried and desperate; afraid of what the future holds for them. Facing impossible situations leaves them crying at night and they see no way out. For many it’s like a wall in front of them that they can’t see around. The feeling of finding no way out produces hopelessness and doubt. Meeting these people at the altar and taking part of their pain when praying for them, makes you feel so small, but at the same time I remember Jesus’ Words, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore…” He reminds us of His Gospel, which is a saving power for whoever believes. We have access to this power if we believe in Him. It is His message and we are simply messengers on a journey taking His Word to the world.

Yes, we are truly on a journey, and no matter how much we might want to, we can’t stop time. We have no choice but to move forward. We can never go back. The past is in the past. Some of us have bad memories, some good, and most of us have both. The most important thing is how we deal with our different circumstances. We have a choice to either grow in experience and wisdom, or let bitterness and anger take root, leaving us more stuck in our circumstances than before.

Dear readers, there are a couple of words I often think about, “In the Master’s hands.” These words have encouraged me lately, because they are no longer just words, but a reality in my life. There is incredible security in knowing that we can rest in our Master Jesus Christ’s nail-pierced hands. He is our Rock; steadfast and immovable. We stumble and fall sometimes, but He, the saving Christ, reaches out His hands and lifts us up over and over again. This is a hope and security we as humans need.

How then is it possible to get so close to our Savior that, as a child, we can experience this security and learn to rest in His arms? The Lord says in His Word that, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away.” The Bible also says in Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” In this verse we find the answer! I always try to follow the example of Godly men and women who throughout time have proclaimed this truth, that no work can be done in the kingdom of God without prayer. It is a simple truth, but incredibly hard to submit to. When prayer meetings are advertised, we quickly find an excuse not to go. The Lord also challenges us to knock on the door. That door will be opened by Jesus Christ when we pray with intensity and endurance. To me all this means is that He is inviting us into His presence. He promised that when we seek, we will find!

My friend, even if you feel like your questions haven’t been answered yet, I challenge you to once again try this old, proven way. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Please pray for us as we continue in full-time ministry serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God bless!

Hey everyone...Jeanette here!

Wow, what an incredible time we've had these last few months. Thulin Family is officially back on the road again! After leaving Minnesota last September we spent some time in Florida, with a couple of ministry excursions up north. We were blessed to be able to go "home" to Sweden over New Year's and even though it rained almost every day, we were inside fellowshipping with much missed friends and family.

Right now we are in the process of moving our ministry base from Florida to Minnesota. We just couldn't stay away!! We are excited to be back. Being on the road as much as we are, when we're home, we want to be close to our family!

I wish I could tell you all that God has taught me lately, but I think I would have to write a couple of books to cover all that. An important lesson learned these last few months is what it really means to LIVE BY FAITH - a common phrase in church, but a much forgotten practice in every day life. Living by faith means not having all the answers, letting go of control, trying things without knowing the result, trusting God before yourself and everyone around you! How many times have we stood in church and sung the beautiful and simple song "I surrender all?" With tears in our eyes lifted our hands to the sky and boldly proclaimed those simple words...I surrender all? Simple?? Well...someone once said that in order to surrender, you have to admit that you're wrong AND that you need help. The hardest thing for a human being to do! No wonder God had to send His only Son to save us...we really need help! STILL!!

It's a liberating process, realizing you don't have to figure everything out right now. The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." What an awesome gift...the very words of Jesus, available to us in writing along with the promise that when we read it our faith will grow! So be encouraged! Be filled with joy at the privilege of knowing an almighty God Who loves you more than anything and anyone. He is what we live for. He is life itself. He is our reason why!


"He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD."
- Deut 8:3
