Hello. My name is Karin and I am 34. I have been educated in grocery business and now I am working as a business leader at a petrol station.
Before I met God in August, 2004, I used to live a very “ordinary” life, at least outwardly. I lived in a house together with my 2 children and their father. It actually looked fairly good on the surface, but we were not on very good terms with each other. I had left the children’s father many times because he was very aggressive and sometimes even violent. His use of violence made my younger son go to hospital twice. However, the worst thing was the mental factor. The children were used to “reading” their father in order to see what kind of mood he was in. Nevertheless, they could never completely rely on that because he was like a ticking bomb that could suddenly change.
I stayed together with him for many reasons.
- I thought it looked best (no matter what) to live together with my children’s father.
- I had tried to leave him, and anyway he did not leave me alone, but troubled me even more.
Last but not least – if I left him, the law required of course that the children should meet him, and therefore spend time alone with him.
This was certainly my greatest fear. I thought, therefore, that I could protect them better if I lived together with him. I often made sure that they were taken care of outside the home when I was not there – so that I did not have to worry how the children were doing.
It also suited me well that he was seldom at home because then I had peace and quiet. He had 2 working places and often spent his free time with a friend. However, it felt empty – and I started to look for the meaning of life.
I started to read the Mormon’s book in which there was a business card. It said, ”In order to find out if this book is true, you can pray that God confirms it to you – so you will be able to notice something inside and get the answer.” I tried to do it, but did not notice anything… Then I thought about the Bible. I started to read it, having decided that I WANTED to find the meaning of life. When I began to read, I could not stop, and having spent many evenings reading it, I suddenly noticed that it became alive. Jesus says “seek me and you will find me”, and I was no longer in doubt it was possible.
I could really notice that the Bible became alive – just like you see in ”the neverending story”. The only difference is that it is not an adventure or a film. It is REALITY. It means there is a living book, namely the Bible.
I looked for Jesus and found OplevJesus.dk on the Internet. There was going to be a meeting that Friday in Randers and I just felt I had to go there. So on Friday the 20th August I went to Randers, came forward and was prayed for. As Torben was praying, I felt God’s power and fell on the floor. When I regained consciousness, I felt different on the inside and as I was driving home, I noticed supernatural joy. The same evening I was set free from cigarettes, which I threw away on the way out of the meeting. I just did not need to smoke any more. Earlier I also used to suffer from fear, but I was set free from that as well.
That night I dreamt I was standing with a huge golden pearl between my hands. There was amazing joy and peace over that dream and I did not doubt even for a moment that it was from God. The following day I went to the meeting in Randers, where I told Torben about the dream. He received a verse:
” Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. (Matthew 13:45-46)
He told me that it was God’s kingdom that came to me, but I should be willing to turn to Him completely and receive it, which I did.
Receiving Jesus is really the best thing I have ever done and there is nothing that is more worth than that.
When I surrendered my whole life to Him and laid everything in His hands, He has really done a lot for me. I often receive visions and dreams from God and He intervenes in my life – He was able to solve the problem with my ex-boyfriend, who is also saved today and lives with God.
Besides that, I have experienced freedom from a demonic spirit that gives people unpleasant dreams which come true. For example I have once dreamt that I drove wrong somewhere, which came true many years later. Many people today are harassed by this kind of spirit today and do not know that they can get free from it.
I feel secure about my future now because I know that even though I have given something up, it is nothing in comparison to what I get back.
I wish everybody could sit down and try to read the Bible with a desire to find Jesus.

3 days after
3 days after she had met God in Randers, she wrote an e-mail to me in which you can read clearly how great it is to meet God. Karin let me show it here:
Hello Torben,
After last Friday, when I was out and received God’s power, my whole existence has become different. On Saturday I went to Randers again in order to meet the Holy Spirit. It just felt so important.
I had been reading the Bible some time before. I looked for the meaning of life and found it must be Jesus. But how should I meet Him and why did He never listen to me when I prayed (at least I could not hear any answer)? HE DID. Seek and you will find – these words stayed in my head. Then I looked for Jesus on the Internet, found your website and read ”Deceived?”. I got a feeling that I just HAD TO meet Jesus and I saw that you were coming to Randers – so I wanted to see if you could help me. You could. I received the Power and my fear disappeared. I was sitting in the hall with great discomfort and my heart beating fast, but after I was prayed for I have not had any fear!!! I have not even been able to smoke cigarettes. I smoked the last one before the meeting on Friday night. I have not felt like smoking since that time, even though I used to feel discomfort because of not smoking. I feel that if I smoked it would be a VERY BIG SIN, and the whole treasure I have found would be lost.
Since the meeting on Saturday I have not been able to think about anything else than GOD. I have been feeling completely intoxicated and have been singing about Him. There come a lot of songs to me about GOD and THE HOLY SPIRIT. I just feel it is the GREATEST thing that could happen. But here comes also my problem – and where I am standing now. I went to work yesterday. I am educated as a shop-assistent (grocery store shop-assistant). I have really been a shop-assistant from head to toe – and now also became a leader in a shop corresponding with my education. Since then I have become a shopkeeper in a shop with responsibility for the staff and the whole shop. But it all feels MEANINGLESS NOW!!!! I cannot concentrate at all, my whole job feels wrong. I am ONLY thinking about GOD and serving GOD all the time. I almost cry when a customer comes and buys beer, and I know he is addicted to it. I mostly feel like saying – come my friend, and I will show you the way to Jesus. But in a shop it is only about a profit – it feels really meaningless, and I know with the thoughts I have – I cannot possibly stay here – I cannot possibly think about just earning money.
I received a parable on Saturday – ”the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”
This must be the answer: ”He sold everything he had.”
This is how I feel it, like a REALLY REALLY great desire to throw everything away and just follow Jesus. I cannot get enough peace by just occasionally going to church. I feel I have to dedicate MY WHOLE LIFE to God. But do you do that? I am not educated as a priest or someone like that. I have asked God, but have not received any answer other than the parable I got on Saturday.
I only feel safe when I am close to the Bible and to God. Do all Christians feel like that?
God bless you and your family.
Greetings
Karin Kyhl
