Draw near to God and he will draw near to you…

Places with a lot of prayer are also places where God’s presence becomes tangible and characterizes the atmosphere. The main task of the Torch of Prayer is to inspire to seek God, to stimulate and encourage the erection of such places of prayer. Figuratively speaking, we are distributing these Prayer Torches to those who wish to receive them.

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit…

Ephesians 4:3

Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day you lead your forces…

Psalm 110:3

Arctic House of Prayer Svalbard

 “The Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, Look, your savior comes; his reward is with him and his recompense before him.” (Isa 62:11) The end of the earth… Svalbard is the northernmost inhabited place on earth, thus the northern end of the earth in that way, which I did not know when the Lord spoke “Svalbard” to me in March 2023. In August 2023, we went up for the first time with a team of 14 people from 5 nations connected to the networks Bönefacklan and Norden 7:14 to pray and proclaim God’s Word and send out a signal in the spiritual realm that the Messiah is coming, like the midnight cry from Matthew 25:6. … first the Jew and then the Greek. (Rom. 1:16)

During our prayer preparations on site, Jack van der Tang, leader of the Pillar of Fire, from the Netherlands, who was also present, received a message that the Lord wants to establish a house of prayer there. We got a clear sanction in our hearts for this, which also lines up with the Bible passage from Psalm 2:8, which we had also received before the trip. “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage and the ends of the earth your possession.

A number of recognized prayer leaders and men of God have with slightly different emphasis addressed about importance of the North and the northern end of the earth. We therefore find this to be a mission of great importance for what the Lord wants to do and redeem at this particular time.

Below is an excerpt from a text written by one of these men of God, Kjell Sjöberg, in 1986 regarding God’s kingdom’s plan for the Nordic countries:

“And I saw a whirlwind coming from the north, a great cloud with blazing fire, and a light surrounded it. (Ezek. 1:4) Ezekiel saw in his vision of calling the glory of God. He saw God’s glory coming from the north. I believe that this indication of the direction is based on Israel. The glory of God will fill the earth, but it will begin to come from the north…”

“In the psalm [Psalm 2] that deals with the antichrist rebellion against the Lord and His anointed, the Messiah is given permission to claim the ends of the earth as his possession as a strategy to counter the rebellion… Deliverance begins from the ends of the earth, and it is completed in Jerusalem when the King returns.”

Establishing a Nordic House of Prayer on Svalbard is a collaboration between prayer leaders and people of prayer from several nations, although mainly from the Nordic countries, but is led by The Torch of Prayer (Bönefacklan). However, it is not our work but a work of the Spirit. We believe that the prayer ministry in Svalbard will grow and when the time comes, become a 24/7 prayer house with people from all over the world. “Your people will offer themselves willingly on the day you lead your forces…” (Ps 110:3)
