Maryam, a young artist from Iran, often wondered who God was and what the meaning of her life was. One day, in Tehran, she walked by an Armenian church with an open door. Being curious, she walked in.

“I saw pictures of Jesus. They were so beautiful, His kind eyes made me feel warm inside, but I didn’t know anything about who He was.

A woman came up to me and asked me to leave. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t stay, and cried all the way home.”

The night after Maryam’s visit to the church she had a strange dream.

“I dreamt I met Jesus. I recognized him from the pictures in the church. He was wea­ring white clothes and had fantastic eyes that looked straight at me.

He took my hand and we walked to the mountains. I was cold but Jesus lit a fire that warmed me. We sat and talked, face to face.

I don’t remember his words, just his beautiful deep eyes that looked at me with so much love.

When I woke up I just cried. I wanted to get to know Jesus even more. Something happened in my heart and my eyes were opened. I knew God lived inside of me and it was as if I saw God everywhere.

I knew God loved me and He was always with me. I changed as a person and I felt free.”

Maryam’s family had a hard time under­standing her transformation, believing that she must be wrong and no one could speak to God the way she said she did. Maryam knew she was in the right place, and one day she got to experience a miracle.

“I broke my leg and three doctors said I had to undergo surgery.

However, I didn’t want my family to have to pay for the surgery and take care of me afterwards, so I prayed to God and he heard me.

In the middle of the night I woke up and saw two men sitting by my feet. At first I was scared and I couldn’t move but then I became calm and went back to sleep Nobody believed my story but when the doctors took new x-rays of my leg it turned out the broken leg was fixed and there was no need for surgery anymore.

The doctor was surprised but I just cried with joy and thanked God.” Maryam married a pilot named Kamyar, but due to the political

situation that developed in Iran, they were forced to flee to Sweden, where they soon had contact with several christians.

Kamyar discovered that these Christians had something he was missing, and had been searching for.

“I prayed to Jesus, and something new happened inside of me; I accepted Him as my personal Saviour and now I read the Bible as often as I can.

It has completely changed my thoughts, my will and my lifestyle.”

Although the future is very uncertain, they are still secure in their faith. Regardless of what might happen, they know Jesus is with them.

Maryam and Kamyar want all to know: “We know God has a plan for us, and we want to follow His will.”

CHRONICLE

WHO IS JESUS? HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

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

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being….”

(Hebrews 1:3).

Newborn babies are amazing to see, so tiny and delicate. After nine long months of pregnancy, the joyful moment comes, and the child arrives. Family and friends gather around the baby carefully examining this tiny new person.

One says, “Oh look, she has her father’s eyes” and another exclaims “I see he has his mother’s dark hair.” We look for a family

resemblance. As the child grows, we notice that he is good at building things or she has an ear for music. Each child reflects some traits, talents and characteristics of his family.

Jesus is not only Immanuel, God with us – he is also referred to as the Son of God, a part of the triune eternal Godhead. As such, he reflects the image of his heavenly heritage. Once, when Philip, one of Jesus’ disciples, asked to see God the Father, Jesus told him, “Whoever has seen me has

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

seen the Father” (John 14:9). The miracle of the virgin birth is “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given” (Isaiah 9:6).

What an amazing transition it must have been for Jesus to leave heaven and become a human baby born to earthly parents, for the Creator to become one who was created.

Have you ever moved to a new location and said “Goodbye” to friends, family and familiar places?

Have you ever struggled to accept something new, a change in your life? We all have, haven’t we?

Change is hard. Leaving behind a place or situation to embrace a new one can be incredibly challenging for us.

wondering how life would be for us in a new culture and place. We knew that God had asked us to go, but we didn’t know what to expect.

We would be leaving behind family, our culture and our comfort zone.

There would be a lot of work and preparation before we could go.

There was a house to sell, our possessions to be given away and visas to obtain. God was asking us to walk by faith, to be obedient and to trust him.

The challenge of faith is that we don’t always know what lies ahead when we step out. We must have faith and trust that God has a plan and that He knows what is best.

Jesus is part of the Godhead but he is also the Son of God – and in this role he was submissive to the Seven years ago, my husband and will of God the Father. He agreed I moved to Sweden to help plant to come to earth and be born as a churches. We were excited, yet human baby. His time on earth fully

demonstrated to us how dearly the Father loves each of us. Jesus trusted His heavenly Father and was obedient to do all that the Father told him to do.

Jesus gave his life for our sins and he victoriously rose from death to life. Jesus was willing to leave his comfort zone of heaven and come to earth to live among us and accomplish all that Father asked him to do.

Today, as a daughter of the King, my heart’s desire is to do what God the Father asks me to do. I want to be like Jesus. I want to walk closely with God and trust Him for the places in my life where I don’t know what lies ahead.

God dearly loves each of us. If we will ask him, he will guide us and help us as we walk through all the changes and challenges in life.

Will you walk with me as we follow Him together?

“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:20).

Contending in Prayer

By Carol Madison

Are you willing to contend for it? I sensed the Lord posing this question when I discovered I lost my chance at buying a new town home.

I had persistently prayed for God’s favor regarding this home, but now the Lord was inviting me to a new level of intercession - that of contending.

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.

This was an unusual home-buying situation.

I was interested in this particular town home for one reason: obedience to God. I didn’t necessarily want to move, as I was content with my current home. But several months earlier God directed me to this town home for a unique prayer assignment, and so I was willing to move.

Situated on a hill, this town home has the best view over a community in Minnesota. The deck extends out with an unobstructed view over the downtown and other key places in the city.

The third-story windows give an even higher perspective. God was inviting me to a special place of intercession on behalf of the people of this community.

However, when I first felt led to the home, it was not for sale. Yet I felt strongly I was to live

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

in this specific town home. Other homes in the complex came up for sale, but I chose not to look at them. The Lord placed the prayer assignment and this home deep within my heart. So for months I drove by the town home, praying and asking the Lord to make a way for me to buy it.

15

“I PLEADED WITH GOD TO SHOW HIMSELF POWERFUL.” PHOTOGRAPHER UNSPLASH.COM/ @BENWHITEPHOTOGRAPHY

One day as I pulled up in front of the home to pray, I discover that that it was on the market! I called my real estate agent, only to learn with quick dismay that another offer on the home had been accepted and the sale was pending only a final inspection. Suddenly the home that I was praying and waiting for was gone.

I was devastated and expressed my disappointment to the Lord. That’s when I heard Him say, “Are you willing to contend for it?” I answered, “Yes,” not knowing what that meant. But for the next few days, I was quickly mentored by the Lord in true contending in prayer for His Kingdom purposes.

Contending for Strategic Territory I had persisted in prayer for many months, asking God to give me the town home. I was reminded of the “persistent widow” story of Luke 18, in which the widow pursues the judge over and over again,

continuing past the normal or expected time.1 Jesus praises this kind of repetition in prayer by telling the disciples to “always pray and not give up” (vs. 1).

In the same way, I asked the Lord over and over again for the town home - and then I waited. But now that I had clearly lost the town home to someone else, I felt the Lord inviting me to a whole new level of prayer.

or contending with an enemy for the control of a port.”3 That summed up how I felt in my prayers - that I was wrestling with spiritual powers in a battle over strategic land and a desperate community.

For whatever God’s reasoning, this town home and its location were important. (Just across the road from the town home is the international headquarters for a cult organization; I knew this was part of my prayer assignment.) Long ago The idea of contending was God determined this was the place new to me. Somehow it seems that I should live and pray on behalf different; more strategic, desperate, of the city. and urgent. Jude uses the term “contend” (vs. 3) when he urges A QUICK CONTENDING LESSON believers to “contend for the faith.” With greater understanding This contending admonition refers that I was involved in a spiritual to an intense effort in a wrestling battle, I began to fast and pray match.2 Watching a wrestling continuously.

Through a daily e-mail updates, Another definition of contend has I invited family and friends to the idea of “striving against a rivalry contend in prayer with me.

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

My fervent prayer wasn’t because I wanted to a new home. This was about God’s Kingdom purposes and His glory! I was suddenly passionate for God to demonstrate Himself in a way that no one could deny. I prayed every way the Lord put on my heart, including spiritual warfare prayers, agonizing prayers with tears, and prayers modeled after biblical giants of the faith.

I pleaded with God to show Himself powerful. Using Elijah’s prayer when he confronted the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18, I implored God to answer in such a way that people would know that He was at work in this. “Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again” (vs. 37).

STOP CONTENDING At the three-day mark of fasting and praying, these words suddenly flashed through my mind: “It’s over. Stop contending and start worshiping Me with praise and thanksgiving.” I was skeptical that I was hearing the Lord. Again, the

17

same words whispered through my spirit. I asked the Lord to confirm in His Word that He was speaking to me.

I opened my Bible “randomly,” and it fell open to Exodus 33:17, where God said to Moses: “I will indeed do what you have asked, for you have found favor with me, and you are my friend” (NLT). A peace rushed through my soul, and I knew that God had done it. The victory had come.

Less than an hour later, my agent called to say that we actually had a “long shot” at getting the town home because of a minor problem with the home inspection. The garbage disposal was too loud, but the sellers were refusing to deal with the current buyer over that little issue.

Eventually, to the surprise of everyone, the buyer defaulted over that insignificant problem - and the town home was mine. And just to add to God’s favor, the sellers replaced the garbage disposal for me, without my even asking!

18

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

YES, GOD WAS IN IT! At the closing, I asked God for an opportunity to tell my story to the unsuspecting sellers. I cautiously shared that I had prayed for months about their town home. I told them I believed God was calling me to pray over the city from that vantage point.

Their response confirmed that I had heard the Lord correctly. The wife exclaimed in astonishment: “We had no intention of moving, but one day I woke up and told my husband, ‘We have to move!’

We had just finished redecorating the home, but I felt an urgency to move. In fact, we put the house on the market that day, and then bought the first house we looked at!”

Everyone, including our agents, sat stunned for a moment. Then the sellers’ agent spoke for all of us when she said, “I had no idea I was a part of something so big.”

FOR THE GLORY OF CHRIST God taught me a lesson in contending prayer. There are times

to pray steadily and faithfully with persistence, but there are other times when God stirs within us a passion to contend as though Jesus’ name and glory are at stake.

More and more challenges are facing believers, churches, and even our nation. We are increasingly aware that intense spiritual battles are confronting us.

Greater urgency and determination rise up in us as we pray: “Not my child; not my family; I will not give in to Satan’s scorn and destruction intended for my church!” By contending, we are assuring God that we will not accept the current circumstances without a heart-felt fight!

If your heart is broken over a seemingly hopeless situation, ask the Lord if you are to “contend” over it. If God responds by stirring within you a passion to contend in prayer for a specific circumstance (a devastated marriage, a friend with a hardened heart, a child in rebellion), know that there is no “textbook contending.” This cry of your soul, this desperate longing

A GOOD RISK! When it comes to contending in If God calls you to contend in prayer and desperately wanting prayer for certain situations, you Christ’s glory demonstrated to all, can trust that He has a greater the risk is worth the investment purpose. You can also trust Him to of your heart and soul! A wrestler teach you how to be faithful to that does not approach the mat with the call.

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS

By Marie Arnfjell

“Forgiveness sets the soul free and removes fear. “

PHOTOGRAPHER © UNSPLASH.COM/@FUUJ

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

As a parent, we do everything we can to teach our children to forgive. But as a child, it is not easy to fully understand that one should forgive, especially when it is not one’s own fault.

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

I have memories of such situations from when I was a child and went to school.

I was a girl who liked the fact that there were messy things happening, both in the classroom and on the breaks. It sometimes meant that I got harsh corrections from the teacher and had to ask for forgiveness, even though I wasn’t always the one to blame.

But the years went by and I began to understand that there was power, a liberating force, in the word “forgive”.

Forgiveness sets the soul free and removes fear. That is why it is such a powerful weapon. Nelson Mandela said: “As I walked out the door to the gate that led to my freedom, I knew that if I did not leave my bitterness and hatred behind me, I would still be in prison.”

Being able to forgive other people is a liberation, both for yourself and for the one who is forgiven. When someone has done wrong, it is natural to feel hurt, disappointed and angry. But if one cannot forget and

23

24

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

forgive what has happened, it is easy for the disappointment to eventually turn into bitterness.

A bitter person devotes so much energy to feel sorry for herself, and also dislikes the person who has wronged her, that it is difficult to think of anything else.

Everyday life is easily filled by self-pity and the self is at the center and for those who are not forgiven, bitterness is not easy to live with.

I think forgiveness is basically a decision of will, a conscious choice.

How many times have you heard it said in the media and among friends that “a lot I can forgive but not this” or “oh, there is nothing to forgive, over time it will be fine”. You feel that you have the right to feel sorry for yourself and to blame the other.

Of course we have the right to feel disappointed and hurt. But we, on the other hand, have no right to bind people by not forgiving them.

It can be very difficult to forgive.

You may decide to forgive and try to forget, but the emotions say

something different and you think you have not been able to forgive.

Once you realize that forgiving is a decision, not a feeling, I think it can be easier to forgive. Not so simple, but once that happens, the future changes.

Today I am so grateful that I learned early on “the power of forgiveness”. When we hold unforgiveness in our hearts and minds, it destroys our boldness, destroys our relationships and causes us to stay in the past.

All of this is something I don’t think any of us want to live with.

We take life for granted and do not always treat each other lovingly. We all must learn to live with humility in the face of life’s limitations and our own power and ability.

The feeling of forgiveness brings peace, uprightness and courage and we can all learn the art of forgiveness. Also the art of being forgiven, which is of great importance in our relationships.

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

The freedom of forgiveness means a direction toward God, in the direction of oneself and in the direction of one who is near you.

Don’t let the past steal your future.

God has made it possible for all of us to both receive and give

forgiveness. The choice lies with you.

ENCOURAGEMENT

Speak to your soul

By Anita Barker Andersen

King David spoke to his soul and encouraged himself to praise the Lord, thank Him and think about all the good that He had done, as seen in Psalm 103:2-5.

The soul does not do this automatically, because it would naturally like to think about the problems and the things with which it is afflicted. You need to steer the soul in the right direction.

ANITA BARKER ANDERSEN TRAVELS AND SPEAKS INTERNATIONALLY AT WOMEN’S CONFERENCES AND GLOBAL VENUES. PHOTOGRAPHER JUNIA MAGAZINE

In Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 we have a very good description of the soul’s unreliability. After having accused God of all his problems, the author says, “So I say, my splendour is gone and all that I had hoped from the LORD. I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me”.

No wonder he was downcast if that was all he thought about all the time!

But he reconsidered, and continued by saying in verses 21-26: “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every

JUNIA MAGAZINE / ISSUE 02

morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” Psalm 42:11 says, “Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God”.

We, too, need to speak to our soul, to encourage ourselves to thank and praise God and to think about His goodness.

Keep a journal and write down all the good the Lord does or says, Bible verses which become alive to you, and so on. You can then bring out the journal when things are difficult and thank God for what He has done!

King David said in Psalm 103:2, “Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not allhis benefits…”.
