WHOSE CHURCH IS IT ANYWAY? Part 42
KINGDOM LIVING
THELASTREFORMATION.COM
Here is an example of a kingdom ministry from Denmark, a most unlikely place you would expect a kingdom ministry to come from, being a highly secular country.
Under the leadership of Torben Sondergaard, this ministry teaches kingdom principles and their practical application, spreading them through the 'hard' mission field of Europe and now, round the world.
As kingdom focus is not upon any one man, I am not going to mention anything about Torben personally, but rather show some of the amazing testimonies of people he has influenced, spreading the kingdom to people in a host of different situations, anywhere and everywhere, drawn from Torben's newsletters.
From earlier newsletters.....
Hallelujah. The Reformation is started. This is amazing.
I would like to share something with you that's amazing.
I've just been in the United States and Canada and it was really good. But the amazing thing is what happens after we have come home. Will this continue? The answer is YES.
This is from my friend in the United States. Posted 2 days ago:
“We kick-started three people, saw 8-10 healings, I led four people to Christ who were powerfully touched by the Holy Spirit (one received tongues) and I prayed for three others Christians who got baptised in the Holy Spirit on the streets. Hoping to follow up with some. I saw more fruit in one day then in my past 22 years as a follower - everyone is amazed and excited!
Getting set free more each day reading a couple chapters a day of "the last reformation book". It's really helping me see what I could not see before, things are more clear every day without glasses. The book is 10 times better than I imagined!! Can I buy 10 or 20 more books from your publisher?”
This is from Canada. This is from someone who was NOT at the meeting, but has been kick-started through someone who was at the meeting;) Yes, it spreads like fire.
“A Big Thank You To All The Ones Who Organized Torben Søndergaard To Come To Guelph Where I Have Meet Brother Wayne Morgan
A Big Thank You Goes Out To Wayne Who Came Out To London Today In Which The Lord Was Leading Him To Come Here.
WOW!! Thank You To Everyone Who Prayed For Me!
I had no idea! I am speechless! Thank You Jesus!
What an Awesome Day Today Was!
Thank you Wayne for taking the time to come down to London to equip the body of Christ with myself and sister Joan to heal the sick and share the love of Christ to the broken harden. I cannot describe in words how it meant to me.
In Summary we prayed: 1- healing to an older lady in her 80's who had a younger lady take care of her, in which she had the peace of Christ.
2- prayed for man and shared Christ, he wanted to know where he can go to church, exchanged phone numbers.
3-A gentleman in a wheel chair who knew Christ who had demonic spirits.
4-A gentleman who had sever back pain from a pain level of 9 down to a level of 4
5- We talked to a young lady and warned her in a loving way of the dangers of Yoga
**We talked a lot, on a lot. Equip me on what to expect when praying for people.
WOW OH WOW! GOD IS AWSOME!! PRAISE THE LORD.
Thank You Lord for Equipping Wayne to Equip Me.
Now This Is True Discipleship!”
Also, I can say that in Denmark we have seen two blind healed, two with crutches, two baptized in water and 2 with the Holy Spirit in the last week;) Love it;)
On Sunday we go to Thailand and then Singapore.
The Reformation has begun;)
And from the one before.....
Testimony from long Island
In the morning session I spoke about the importance of water baptism and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
At the end of the meeting one woman asked to receive the Baptism of Holy spirit but nothing happened. She felt as if something was blocking her and there was no evidence of being filled. She was very disappointed and began to cry. Then she explained to me that she was only "baptized" by a sprinkling of water as a Catholic, which is not a full baptism, since baptism is full immersion under water on your own faith and not only a sprinkling of a little water on the head.
Shortly afterwards we went down with her to the beach where she was baptized with 6 other believers. She was the first person baptized and as soon as she came out of the water (was still in the water), she was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. It was so powerful to witness how full water baptism opened the door for a full baptism of the Holy Ghost for this woman, just as we discussed in the training. So then she baptized the next person and then the next person baptised then next and so on. Each person was set free and were baptized with the Holy Spirit in the water. It was so strong.
Suddenly a young man came over from the parking lot. He felt led to come down and see what happened. When he saw what was happening, immediately he felt that he should be baptized. He was raised in a Catholic church, but had left the church. I asked if he knew about the baptism of Holy Spirit and speaking tongues, which he said no. But we baptized him on his own faith right thee and wow… The Holy Spirit also come over him and as soon as he came out of the water he began speaking in tongues without really knowing anything about it. It was amazing and powerful to see just how the Holy Spirit was present in this way.
Then suddenly a boy of 9 years who was watching on the side with his grandmother, said that he also wanted to be baptized. But she thought he was too young, but he kept on saying that he wanted to be baptized. (The two were also raised in a Catholic church)
He came down to the water to me and we baptized him. The then same thing happened to him. As soon as he came out of water (was still in the water) he began to speak in tongues and he did also not know about it .. wow, that was an incredible day. People were crying and they saw what true Christianity is. It was so big and beautiful.
We got it all on video for our new movie The Last Reformation which will be published early next year. This movie will be something the church has never seen before. We have witnessed and filmed things on this trip that is so incredible.
We are so grateful and we can say. THANK GOD. THANK YOU JESUS and THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT for some incredible days here in the United States. Tonight we fly back to Denmark.
AMAZING TESTIMONY I have just received from someone who was part of the weekend in the United States last week:
"Torben, thanks again for everything. I hope your travel went well.
Amazing testimonies! At the airport I prayed for a guy’s knee. Totally healed with the first quick prayer. He had a deep experience with the HS but did not speak in tongues. He is here in Colorado Springs and we hope to connect while he is here. I gave him one of your books and also prayed for his friend.
Today, Monday, at lunch I met with a man. As we were leaving the restaurant he started crying. He sat on the sidewalk and wept and repented of sin in his life. He was not ready to receive the Spirit but we will talk again soon. I told him about The Pioneer School and he and I will discuss it further.
Both of these men grew up as preacher's kids and had walked away from the church at some point in their lives.
Just before I walked in the restaurant I received a phone call from a man. He is from Bosnia. He sets tile for me so I see him periodically. I had prayed with him about his wife's cancer in the kidney and elsewhere. He does not walk with God but he let me pray with him on a construction site a few weeks ago. She had a biopsy last week and there is no cancer! He reminded me of the prayer and he understands that God healed her. He and I will meet soon.
It is so good to be loved and used by God.
He is good."
The major question now is, "where is the church of the 21st Century heading".
Fourteen years into the new century, it is becoming more apparent that God is 'doing a new thing'. But as we have seen over the past 2000 years, through the Dark Ages, the Reformation and the Holy Spirit revivals of the 20th century, the Holy Spirit will always be to the fore of what transpires.
Regrettably, from a human perspective, all past movements of the Holy Spirit have come to an end, primarily because man has codified them and taken over. Like Moses, the world's humblest man and the closest to God before Jesus, when he hit the rock, (which he had done successfully before to bring water), rather than talk to it as God had instructed him to do,(Numbers 20:13) man has always seemingly known better than God. This cost Moses the opportunity to take the Israelites into the Promised Land.
So where do we go from here? What is God doing here and now, and into the future?

FROM THE WORD
THE WORDS OF JESUS
May we hear what the Lord is saying to us.....
Jesus Healing an Official’s Son(John 4:32-54)
Who was near to death.
“Unless you see signs and wonders you people really won’t trust me,”
“Go on home,” “Your son will live!”
Jesus Driving Out an Evil Spirit (Mark 1:21-8, Luke 4:31-7)
At the synagogue in Capernaum.
“Be quiet! Come out of him.”
Jesus Praying in a Solitary Place (Mark 1:35-8, Luke 4:38-44)
Is advised that the people are looking for Him.
“We have to go to the other towns around here so that I can tell them the good news as well—for that’s why I came,”
Healing From Leprosy (Matthew 8:1-4, Mark 1:40-45, Luke 5:12-16)
At a man’s request.
“I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Immediately he was healed from his leprosy. “Make sure you don’t tell anyone,” Jesus told him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and give the offering which Moses required as public proof.”
Healing the Paralytic (Matthew 9:1-8, Mark 2:1-12, Luke 5:17-26)
As Jesus returned to Nazareth.
“My friend, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven.”
When queried about being able to forgive sins.
“Why are you thinking evil thoughts in your hearts? What is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Get up and walk’? But to convince you that the Son of man does have the authority to forgive sins…” “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home!”

Our complete report has been delayed for another week! Monday!!!
We are facing lots of challenges currently.
We need God to intervene!
DAVID'S CHOLESTEROL TEST
My mother's side of the family has inherited high cholesterol, which I inherited.
Having been in Africa now for 10 months eating rice, greens, beans and only a little meat, I thought I would take a test, for I haven't taken my cholesterol pills since arriving.
Remarkably, I was only 20% above normal, compared with 80% at home in New Zealand.
Pills unnecessary.
Shows diet does make a difference!
Seen here giving some of my precious blood.
