About me
My Journey to True Freedom
When life was storming and the snobbery of the fine halls cast me out into the cold, I saw the system for what it was: it was nothing for me. But when I looked closer, I saw the bigger picture – that Jesus took me away on this journey, which through suffering and exile made me understand that His grace is sufficient for me. My suffering drove me straight into the arms of the real Jesus. The One who bends down to my level. And just when other people stood firm in their theology and their unyielding stance, I could see what He was doing with me.He raised me up when He and I rose up together, and He carries me. Even though I experienced exclusion, it became my path to the true freedom everyone is striving for. I only need Him written upon the fabric of my heart. To know His presence in moments of distress, where grace is needed the most, His Word must simultaneously exist at a depth that no human teaching can ever achieve. It must be written upon my heart, engraved by moments where grace has been active. And when anxiety and anguish come, I feel with a light touch of my fingertips upon the fabric of my heart, as if reading braille, and so He calms my soul. His power, which is made perfect in weakness, works through me – because of this.
I am from Sweden, and my family tree goes back to the 1300s. My forefather, King Gustav Vasa, laid the foundation for our Lutheran society, completely free from the influence of the Catholic Church. He also wrote into the law that the royal houses must be professing Christians. Many missionaries have been sent out from this nation, and I believe firmly in the apostolic ministry. "Apostle" is a word few in Sweden have dared to use, but to operate in that office is actually very Swedish in its nature.I am glad I don't have a higher education. It is fantastic to be free from that ambition if you have a dream or a vision to drive you. True growth and a genuine zeal to do well come from that freedom; the calling is everything. Even though I am the 14th grandson of Gustav Vasa, I am the simplest of all. What remains from that family tree is a testament to God's providence and His care for future generations, because He is deeply interested in family lines.We are living in exciting times—not for people who want a life free of problems, but for those who find themselves standing before the living God in this situation. God said His final word on the cross, and that word makes an atomic bomb look totally harmless. It is precisely within this reality that it is easy for a child like me to operate. He is with me, yet I stand as a mature man against evil because I have chosen to let the Word of God build my person. The Holy Spirit Himself sanctifies my whole being, but I was the one who opened the door. He did it—Himself. I am blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms, and as long as my baggage is not too heavy, my arms are full of these blessings.Like Joseph, I have lived with dreams, and like Paul, who was knocked off his horse, I have been awakened. Therefore, it is God who speaks and exhorts through me. I never had a natural talent for corporate leadership, but I have always been known as an uncomplicated, simple, and happy person. I am social and find it easy to talk to people. I will never stand on a platform pointing a finger; instead, I will bend down, like Jesus did, and write in the sand for both your sake and mine.I grew up without my father, who died just before I turned seven. In a way, I stopped growing right then—to my own advantage—and that child-like trust serves me well now at sixty-plus and moving forward. It has been a season of waiting to fully trust God as my Father. Others might wonder about Him being my provider, but since I am not a materialist, my focus remains strictly on food, clothing, and a bed.To me, what a person says is vital, and it must align with the truth. The early disciples were witnesses, but they were unique witnesses who laid the very foundation for the Bible. Raising up more witnesses or repeating what others proclaim is not the point here—the point is the Truth and the authority to preach the message of grace. There are already too many guardians and teachers out there; my hope is to be a father to you, and to manage this ministry so that you, too, may receive an apostolic anointing. It is far better to fashion a completely new clay vessel than to pretend that the old system works as it is.With this, I want to lay the foundation for the ongoing work that begins with this website.
