HOT STORY

Everyday miracles for someone visually impaired

By Anita Barker Andersen

PHOTOGRAPHER JUMPSTORY

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

I have now been visually impaired for over 40 years.

My medical record states that I am severely handicapped, having only enough sight to see my way about, not being able to orient myself in unknown places,and having only two percent vision.

ANITA BARKER ANDERSEN HAS BEEN SPEAKER DURING MANY CONFERENCES FOR WOMEN AND ALSO GUEST SPEAKER ON MANY OCCASIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD. PHOTOGRAPHER JUNIA MAGAZINE

In spite of this diagnosis, nobody seems to notice. More than 30 years ago the Lord spoke to me very strongly. A woman who did not know me and did not know about my disability, gave me a message from the Lord during a service on the first day of a Bible school in Maine. He said that He would heal my blind eyes. Until then, I was to walk in faith as if I could already see. He would take care of the rest.

A couple of years ago I received an explanation for the miracle I am living, the miracle that no one seems to notice that I cannot see well. A person that works with visually impaired people told me, “I have never before seen a person with impaired vision and the natural body movement of a sighted person! Such a person usually moves in a specific way because he can’t see his surroundings”.

The miracle I have lived is that my subconscious and my central nervous system do not seem to realise that I cannot see. For example, my feet always run up stairs, and it is exciting for my head to follow. When somebody hands out printed material, the hands receive it before the head starts to ask what I am going to use it for (because I cannot read it). Automatically I seek eye contact with those with whom I speak, even though I cannot see the head of the person, as my central vision is missing.

My consultant at the hospital has talked to me about breaking down my resistance to using a white cane that was given to me 30 years ago. But as I have not fallen or tripped yet without the cane, I would probably do so with the cane, because of the speed I normally walk! I live in this miracle daily. Almost every day people ask me about it, and that gives me an opportunity to testify to what God is doing.

A couple of days after that prophetic word 40 years ago, concerning acting as if I could see, the big test came. We were about to have gym class at school, and for that semester we were going to play baseball. This is a completely impossible sport for me to play, as I cannot see the ball in time. How then would I manage to hit the ball? First I thought I would ask to be excused from class, but then I was reminded of the prophetic word. The Lord also gave me Philippians 4:13: “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” Now I just had

to test this! All the other players had grown up playing baseball, but for me it was a new game. At last it was my turn to take the bat and I said a prayer, “Lord Jesus, help me hit the ball!”. Then I started swinging the bat around, the ball came flying through the air – and I hit it! Unfortunately the ball landed on first base and I was out.

The next inning, I asked for a good hit! I continued to play the whole season and had good hits throughout. I would be able to run to either second or even third base before they got the ball. They said that I played better than most of the other team members. Every gym class became a miracle. Imagine – God cares about ball games! After 30 years it was time to try again.

Our church was playing a baseball game and I had not thought about participating. However, because there were small children playing too, I thought that maybe I should give it a try. Imagine – it still worked!

I made four home runs! Life with Jesus is very exciting and a lot of fun!

CHRONICLE

Who is Jesus? He is God.

By Lynn Jarman LYNN JARMAN LIVES WITH HER HUSBAND JIM IN STOCKHOLM. THEY ARE MULTIPLICATION CATALYSTS FOR CHURCH PLANTING. PHOTOGRAPHER JIM JARMAN

I love walking. I prefer to walk outside when the sun is shining, the air crisp and the sky blue. But I’ll also walk when it’s cloudy and raining. I’ll walk in the city and I’ll hike in the countryside.

During the recent pandemic, I’ve walked all over the world and never left my Stockholm apartment as I walk in place to YouTube videos. My daughter once bought me a Fitbit as a gift. She wanted us both to track the steps we walk each day and share the experience together on the Fitbit app. But after a while,

she said, “Mom, stop walking so much! You always have twice the number of steps that I do each day!”

Even more than physical walking, I love walking with Jesus – spending time daily with Him, acknowledging His presence with me during every step of my day.

My heart’s desire for you is that you would walk every day with Jesus as well. Why don’t we share the experience together? That is the purpose of this regular column in Junia magazine.

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

In order to walk daily with Jesus, we first need a clear understanding of who Jesus is and who He claims to be. There are so many descriptive words that the Bible uses to describe Jesus and we will take a look in this column at a number of them. Jesus is the Savior, the Lord, the Redeemer.

He is the Healer, the Restorer, the King.

As we look at these descriptions and others, I will personalize them for myself and I hope you do the same. Jesus is my Savior. Jesus is my Lord. And so forth. But before I can personalize Jesus in my life, I need to clearly know who He is in the eternal realm as part of the triune God. And the Bible declares that Jesus himself is God. In the Gospel of Matthew, we have the account of Joseph being unsure about taking Mary to be

11

his wife because she had become pregnant. He knew he wasn’t the father, and this troubled him greatly. An angel appeared to him in a dream and told him not to be afraid; Mary was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. He was to marry her and name his new son Jesus and all the people would call this child “Immanuel” which means “God with us.” God was coming from the eternal realm into the very world he created. He was coming to walk with us.

Today, as we journey together with Jesus, let’s reflect on the fact that we are hand in hand with God himself and he is actually walking with us. No matter what difficulties we face, or what obstacles are in front of us, we have God by our side. Immanuel is right here. There is nothing in the world that is better than that. Do not be afraid, dear friends. God is with you.

STORY TELLER

A Roaring Lion From A New Life by Anita Barker Andersen

PHOTOGRAPHER JUMPSTORY

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

A friend of mine, Kerstin, has lived a large part of her life in South Africa, where this happened to a woman in her church. The woman was confronted by a stranger in her kitchen, threateningly wielding a large kitchen knife in his hand.

She understood that he was there to kill her, but didn’t want to scream since her children were watching television in the bedroom. She was afraid her scream would draw them to the kitchen and risk them being hurt. She called out: “Lion of Judah, help me!” This is one of the names of Jesus in the Bible.

Suddenly, the man dropped the knife and ran away. The woman called the police and gave them a description of the man. When the man was arrested, she asked to see him in jail, so she could ask him why he suddenly ran away.

He told her that as she prayed, he saw a roaring lion standing on its hind legs behind her. He ran away so he wouldn’t be eaten. There was no lion in the kitchen, and the woman understood that God had sent his protection and helped her in a somewhat unusual way.

Watch Each Other’s Backs Persistent Prayer for All the Saints

By Carol Madison

My friend Jean will tell you—no matter what the circumstance, no matter how impossible it may seem, regardless of how much Satan has done to destroy your child’s life—never give up praying for God’s glorious work. I must admit I wasn’t always hopeful for her daughter Joey, but Jean never stopped rallying intercessors to pray for a miracle.

CAROL MADISON IS THE EDITOR OF PRAYER CONNECT MAGAZINE AND THE AUTHOR OF PRAYER THAT’S CAUGHT AND TAUGHT: MENTORING THE NEXT GENERATION. SHE HAS SERVED AS THE PRAYER COORDINATOR FOR LARGE CHRISTIAN GATHERINGS IN MAJOR USA CITIES AND OFTEN PLACES HERSELF UNDERNEATH THE STAGE ON HER KNEES WHILE THE SPEAKER IS SHARING THE GOSPEL ABOVE HER.

Although Joey grew up in the church, attended a Christian high school, and knew the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 (God has plans for her future), Joey chose a hard life – rebellion, addiction, prostitution. She knew the darkest of the spiritually dark places.

It wasn’t until after years of her mom’s faithful prayers (and nine stints in treatment centers), that Joey found her freedom in Christ. God turned Joey’s life around in a dramatic way. She has been clean for nearly 20 years and even worked for a Christian drug treatment center.

Group Effort Jean and Joey gave their powerful testimonies on a Sunday morning in Jean’s small church in northern Minnesota.

Jean thanked those who prayed week after

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

week, year after year, for Joey to return to the Lord. She recounted the many times assurance of people’s faithful prayers encouraged her.

On one occasion, when she walked into a children’s Sunday school classroom, she saw her daughter’s name written on the whiteboard. Suddenly she realized all the children were praying for Joey.

Another time, a volunteer firefighter, tragically paralyzed in an accident during a fire, asked about Joey from his hospital room. He had been praying for her in spite of his own traumatic injuries.

Joey, hearing these stories for the first time as her mom spoke, was stunned to realize how many people had not given up on her.

This little church recognizes that spiritual warfare exists and that Satan intends to consume believers and families. But the Christians there are committed to praying persistently for all believers everywhere.

As fellow soldiers they “watch each other’s backs.”

Warfare Prayer Mode The Apostle Paul closed his letter to the Ephesians with a dire warning and a plea for his fellow believers to “stand firm” against the devil’s schemes. He didn’t paint a picture of Utopia for the Church;

rather with sobering language he described the darkness churning around them. And he urged them – and us – to take both defensive and offensive battle postures (Eph. 6:10-17).

Paul then told them how to pray. His instructions, loaded with wise exhortations, came from the experience of this man who knew how to battle “against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (v. 12).

Paul knew how to approach battles with the strongest arsenal possible—prayer in the Spirit always, without giving up, and for every believer. He knew that all believers, the “saints,” are engaged in a serious battle for the sake of the gospel: Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and

Gentiles alike. I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should (Eph. 6:18–20, NLT, emphasis added).

Paul did not instruct people to pray quick “fix-it” prayers to get themselves out of a jam or make their lives more comfortable. If that were the case, he might have said, “Please pray that I’m not beaten or stoned today. And pray that I won’t be shipwrecked again. And one more thing – prison is getting old.

Please pray I am found innocent immediately.”

Instead, Paul pursued greater purposes in prayer – that God might equip all the saints to know and share the love of Christ, while at the same time destroying the works and arguments of Satan (Col. 2:2–3; 2 Cor. 10:4).

SO HOW CAN WE PRAY EFFECTIVELY FOR EACH OTHER WITH THIS WARFARE MINDSET? 1. Pray in the Spirit for one another—always. Seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to guide

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

your prayers. Tune into the urgency of the day and the seriousness of Satan’s prowling around us (1 Peter 5:8–9). The Holy Spirit knows all things and helps us to pray even when we don’t know how.

Paul gave us a wonderful truth and prayer tip in Romans 8:26–27: “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”

discovered that good intentions to stay alert on behalf of their friend were not enough. Jesus returned to them three times, and three times He found them in a sleepy stupor.

He warned them to step up their prayer efforts: “Keep alert and pray. Otherwise, temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak” (Mark 14:38, NLT).

We cannot take anything for granted regarding the spiritual lives of our fellow believers. When we are tired, overwhelmed, or just plain careless in our prayer lives, we may open a door for Satan to slip in to tempt us – or our brothers and sisters—toward destruction. So, Partnering with the Holy Spirit stay awake and alert at all times in will open our hearts to “prayer prayer for the saints – because one prompts” aligned with God’s quick “nod off” may be all Satan purposes.

She has

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

various lists of people she prays for, and her prayer schedule is multilayered. She prays for some people daily. Others on a certain day of the week. Still others one day a month. If you get on her prayer list, you don’t get off until God has answered her prayer or dramatically changed your life. She is always alert and ever persistent in her prayers for fellow believers.

4. Pray toward the future faith of one another. Imagine being Peter and knowing that Jesus was continuously praying for you, always encouraging you, and that He had the insights of heaven to pray specific prayers that framed your destiny. That must have been a comfort to Peter, that is, until Jesus warned him that Satan had asked to sift Peter like wheat – and it was going to be painful.

Yet, Jesus prayed toward Peter’s future despite Satan’s plan. Jesus assured him, “I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail.

And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:31–32).

Of course, God answered that

prayer powerfully following Peter’s denial of Christ and subsequent repentance, and it culminated in significant ministry.

It’s possible that Satan has asked to sift each of us. We live in such a dark and tempting world that we are just one poor decision away from personal devastation.

Recognizing that our children, spouse, or friends might at any time succumb to the sifting of Satan, we need to pray toward their future.

Regardless of the potential sin or failure, we can be praying in advance that our loved ones will not fall away from the faith but eventually repent and experience the good future God has planned for them.

Battling Together Paul pleads for his beloved friends to pray for him, but first he asks that they pray for all believers everywhere. If you are a follower of Christ who is committed to the advancement of the Kingdom of God - and you live in this fallen world ruled by evil principalities and powers - you can expect trials and opposition. In fact, Peter wonders

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

why we are surprised when opposition rises against us (1 Peter 4:12).

But Peter also reminds us that fellow believers around the world experience extraordinary suffering and persecution for the sake of Christ (1 Peter 5:9). We have the opportunity to pray for friends we may never meet on earth.

Dare to take a risk?

By Marie Arnfjell

“Dare to take a risk means that you and I can discover life’s possibilities here and now. “

PHOTOGRAPHER © DIEGO CERVO - STOCK.ADOBE.COM

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

MARIE ARNFJELL IS THE EDITOR IN CHIEF FOR JUNIA AND THE FOUNDER OF THE ORGANIZATION SISTERS INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER FRIDA FUNEMYR

Sometimes when I’m out and talk about “Dare to Believe in Your Dream”, I find myself being very encouraged by my own words.

Because I need it, I need to hear time and time again that I can, that it’s okay to fail, but that I can anyway.

Therefore, I am not afraid to take a risk and fail, because I have discovered that failure is not an event but rather an estimation of an event. Failure is not something that happens to us or a label that we put on something. It is a way of looking at a result.

Before Jonas Salk developed a polio vaccine that was effective, he came up with two hundred that did not work. Someone asked him, “How did it feel to fail two hundred times?”

“I have never failed two hundred times in my life,” Salk replied. “I’ve learned not to use the word failure. I’ve only discovered two hundred ways not to vaccinate against polio.“ And when Edmund Hillary, after several unsuccessful attempts to climb Mount Everst, stood below the mountain, he clenched his fist and said defiantly, “I’ll defeat you one day. Because you’re not getting any bigger than that – but I’m still growing.”

23

24

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 01

Each time Hillary climbed and failed, he learned something and one day he did not fail.

Dare to take a risk means that you and I can discover life’s possibilities here and now. Don’t think God has created us into “couch potatoes”.

No, He has a purpose for our lives.

He has given us gifts, creativity, intelligence and even the courage to do what can bring satisfaction in life.

The challenge of taking a risk lies in overcoming fear. The fear of failure, of being laughed at, not trusted, or simply not being able to cope all the way out.

So I want us to use our imagination a bit. Imagine being able to see everything God could do in your life if you had allowed it.

Imagine what He could have done with your talent if you had trusted Him. Imagine what He could do with your relationships, and your finances if you trust Him. Imagine if you finally ask God for help – He who knows you and knows what is

best for you and who is capable of doing far more than we can pray or think – just imagine what He could do!

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.

You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

SHORT STORY

Carried by Angels to Heaven

By Anita Barker Andersen

A friend of mine, who works in northern Afri­ca, told the story of a woman’s encounter with angels, which eventually led to her becoming a Christian.

Her husband had been watching Christian television broadcasts, through which he became a Christian. She, however, experienced this as being very difficult, because she was a very devout Muslim. One day when her husband was driving a large truck carrying gas tubes, there was a terrible accident. The entire truck exploded and he died almost instantly.

The woman told my friend: ”I thought my hus­band had gone to hell, but that night I woke to a powerful shaking of the ground. I heard someone call my husband’s name and I went out on the balcony.

There, I saw two men in glowing white clothes standing on either side of my husband, who was lying down. He looked so peaceful and he was also dressed in glowing white clothes. The two men lifted

up my husband and carried him away towards heaven, further and further away until they finally disappeared.

I was completely shaken by this, but at the same time, thankful that God had shown me this vision.”

After this, she was convinced her husband had been taken to heaven.

In the last book of the Bible, it tells about the white clothes and the heavenly multitude, as it says, “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.”

(Revelation 7:9). (NIV)
