Fire From The North

Wow! was the only word I could say after the first meeting at the Fire From The North Conference last week!

"Fire From The North" was the name of a prayer conference held in Lerwick in Shetland and lasted for a whole week! Brenda Robertson and I (Helga Sakseid) represented Bergen International Church.

The goal for the conference was to pray and intercede for North Europe. We were about 350 delegates from all over the world, but most of them from England. It was a most wonderful experience to worship and pray with people who were completely free in the Lord. People danced, waved banners, or people knelt silently, people shared words that God had given them to share, some had a prophecy, others a confession of sin on behalf of their nation. It was amazing to witness how The Holy Spirit gently took over the leading of some of the meetings.

Many people turn away from God in North Europe today, but intercessors from these countries don't give up pursuing the vision that God is going to create something new. God is going to raise up people who are totally comitted to Him and will obey His will no matter what. We must not allow any compromise with the Devil. For the Nordic countries(Norw.,Sweden and Finland) we have the vision that there will be a revival in the younger generation, youth will stand up to be pastors and leaders and share the Gospel with great boldness. A people not bound by the "Jante" spirit but free to be the unique, prescious child of God. There will be a united spirit between the three countries from the northen parts and southwards.
There were visions of more unity between the nations among the believers, and also a spirit of repentence of sin done to other nations. (E.g.during the war.)
