After His resurrection, Jesus said to His disciples, “Thus it is written, that the Messiah should suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Luke 24:46–47)

 

Just before He was taken up into heaven, Jesus said to them: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

Paul also wrote to the believers in Rome about his apostolic ministry: “So from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ.” (Rom 15:19) He posed a rhetorical question to the believers in Corinth: “Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached?” (1 Cor 14:36) The reality is that the gospel originally came to all the nations of the world from Jerusalem.

 

In the book of Acts we read how the gospel first came to Europe during Paul’s second missionary journey, when he reached Troas. “During the night Paul had a vision. There stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him, saying, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us!’” (Acts 16:9) In time, the gospel then spread through Europe all the way up to the Nordic countries and the ends of the earth in the north—from Jerusalem.

 

The prophetic word describes a reverse flow of the gospel at the end of this age. The gospel will then be proclaimed from the ends of the earth back to Jerusalem. It is written in Isaiah:

​

“Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.’ And they shall be called ‘The Holy People,’ ‘The Redeemed of the Lord,’ and you shall be called ‘Sought Out,’ ‘A City Not Forsaken.’” (Isa 62:11–12)

​

About one hundred years ago, believers in China received a revelation about a movement from the East called “Back to Jerusalem.” The vision is to spread the gospel from China through all of Asia until it reaches Jerusalem—where it first began and where it will conclude with the salvation of Israel. For before all Israel can be saved, the fullness of the Gentiles must first come in. Paul wrote: “A hardening has come upon part of Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved.” (Rom 11:25–26)

​

PROPHETIC CONFIRMATIONS

​

In recent decades, the Lord has spoken to many about a revival from the North that will move through all of Europe back to Jerusalem.

​

In October 1977, during a time of fasting and prayer, the Lord said to me: “I will send a revival that will be much greater than anything you have ever seen before in all of history. But it will only happen to the extent that you pray. Truly, the Lord God does nothing except through prayer.” The Lord then showed me how a revival will break out in the Nordic countries, including the northern British Isles, and then spread down over Europe.

​

Shortly thereafter I came across a book written in 1952, titled God’s Plan for the North by Rolf Wiström. In the book he first quotes Ezekiel: “I looked, and behold, a storm wind came from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually, and a bright light around it.” (Ezek 1:4) He then continues:

​

“Over the Nordic countries lies a bright cloud of God’s power. God is calling people today to become channels of this power. It is the calling hour of the North. God places upon us the responsibility for the de-Christianized countries of Europe. We have the cross in our flags. God wants us to experience the power of the cross in our lives and pass it on to Europe’s longing millions. … Christianity shall once again experience the power and leading of the Holy Spirit. New, large multitudes of obedient vessels shall again go forth wherever the Spirit leads, and God’s plan shall be fulfilled swiftly.”

​

The book became a confirmation of what God had spoken to me, and I started a prayer ministry that continued in Sweden for over ten years. We saw many answered prayers. In 1982 a revival broke out that partially fulfilled what the Lord had shown me in 1977. Eventually, however, the revival waned, and I began to ask God, “When will I see the full fulfillment of what You spoke to me in 1977?”

In 2016 I heard Gunnar Brudeli from Norway share what God had shown him in a vision in 2006:

​

“I was standing on a large map of Europe. Suddenly all the Nordic countries became blood-red. Then four red streams began to flow from the North down the map, through the European countries and toward Israel. The streams grew wider and wider and eventually filled all the countries of Europe. The western stream went from Spain to Morocco and followed the Mediterranean coast to Israel. All four streams converged in Jerusalem.

​

"The streams were people going with the gospel to re-evangelize Europe. The streams were the color of blood. The assignment will cost the blood of martyrs on the way back to Jerusalem.”

​

It is written: “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.” (2 Cor 13:1) I realized that the vision the Lord had shown me in 1977 was still on God’s agenda. Many others have also prophesied the same thing. The late international apostolic prayer leader Kjell Sjöberg wrote in 1985 in his book Spiritual Vikings:

​

“The Lord wants to make the Nordic countries into one great mission station with a strong missionary focus toward Europe. I have the vision of a new Viking expedition to Europe. I am thinking of evangelistic campaigns with teams of young people traveling to the nations of Europe to evangelize. But I am also thinking of spiritual guerrilla groups traveling to Europe’s cities on prayer assignments, to fight in the Spirit against the powers of darkness in order to free people and prepare the way for harvest times and the kingdom of God.”

​

Kjell Sjöberg also wrote in 1986 in a booklet titled God’s Kingdom Plan for the Nordic Countries – Preparatory Material and Report from the Nordic Gathering in Oslo, December 5–7, 1986:

 

“The North shall belong to Me, and from there I will begin My work of liberation … The cross-marked nations belong to Me. … My glory shall explode in the North... We want to stand before the Lord for the lordship of Jesus over the North, and we want to bind the North together with Israel, and we also want to take the position where the North can become a base for what the Lord will do on the European continent.”

​

A RENEWED CALL

 

After having lived in Israel for the past twenty years, the Lord surprised me in 2018 by renewing my calling to pray for Sweden. Early in the morning on January 12 He awoke me with these words: “What is happening right now in Sweden is part of a deliberate strategy to break down society in order to establish the Antichrist’s dictatorship.”

​

The enemy is aware of God’s calling upon Sweden and the Nordic countries and is working overtime to try to stop it. The solemn word I received that morning pierced my heart and reawakened God’s calling in my life to pray for Sweden. As a result, I founded a prayer movement which I named Sweden 7:14, based on the well-known promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “…if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”

​

Two years later, the vision expanded in 2020 to include all the Nordic countries, and the name was changed to Nordic 7:14. In January 2024 we held our Nordic Prayer Conference in Kalmar, Sweden. Before the conference the Lord said: “This prayer conference will prepare the way for Me from the Nordic countries through Europe … It will be a starting point for what will take place in our Nordic lands.” Just as the Lord said—during 2024 our prayer movement began to expand into Europe.

​

UNCEASING PRAYER DAY AND NIGHT
FOR ISRAEL AND REVIVAL IN EUROPE
 

Jesus told a parable to show His disciples “that they should always pray and not give up.” (Luke 18:1) He concluded the parable by saying: “And will not God give justice to His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them? I tell you, He will give them justice speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find such faith [faithfulness] on the earth?” (Luke 18:7–8)

 

Leaders from twelve different nations in Europe, plus Israel and the USA, came to our Nordic prayer conference in Ljungskile, Sweden in January 2025. We experienced a powerful presence of the Holy Spirit with deep reconciliation. From this conference a vision was born to establish unceasing prayer and intercession, day and night, for the salvation of Israel and for revival in the Nordic countries and Europe according to the Back to Jerusalem vision described in Isaiah 62:10–12 and the prophetic revelations many ministers have received.

​

“Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people! Build up, build up the highway, clear it of stones, lift up a banner for the peoples! Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.’ And they shall be called ‘The Holy People,’ ‘The Redeemed of the Lord,’ and you shall be called ‘Sought Out,’ ‘A City Not Forsaken.’” (Isa 62:10–12)

​

In this day-and-night watch of prayer we are inspired by what happened in Herrnhut, Germany, in the 1700s when a small group of believers, united by the Holy Spirit, began praying day and night—a prayer watch that lasted over 100 years! Within twenty-five years this prayer community had reached every continent on earth with the gospel—without media or modern transportation. In fact, every revival in the world over the past three centuries can trace its roots back to this prayer ministry, around the clock—day and night. It is not quantity but quality that counts—not the number of intercessors but the depth of the prayer.
Back to Jerusalem from the North!

​

PRACTICAL STRATEGY

​

This is how the unceasing prayer, day and night, will be organized:

​

1. SEVEN COUNTRIES / REGIONS

​

The Nordic region will be divided into seven countries/areas, each responsible for prayer during one full day—24 hours—of the week. These seven are:

• Sweden

• Norway

• Finland

• Denmark

• Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland

• Estonia

• The Shetland Islands and Northern Scotland

​​

2. MORE NATIONS IN EUROPE

​

Additional countries/regions in Europe will be added as we expand. So far, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Slovakia are already involved. We will build slowly and emphasize quality rather than quantity.

​​

3. PRAYER GENERALS

​

Each country/region will have a Prayer General overseeing its assigned weekday and its 24-hour prayer cycle.

​

4. PRAYER HOUSES (Matt 18:18–20)

​

Each country/region will mobilize at least 24 Prayer Houses, each taking responsibility for one hour of prayer.

A Prayer House will consist of at least two or three intercessors who know each other.

The Prayer House may also be an entire prayer group or congregation. Intercessors do not need to live in the same place, but they must know each other and maintain communication and fellowship.

​​

5. PRAYER HOUSE LEADERS

​

Each Prayer House will have a leader responsible for its prayer hour and for ensuring that at least one member is praying during that hour.

​​

6. EACH INTERCESSOR

​

Each intercessor will commit to praying for a set hour each week in this unceasing 24/7 watch—but this responsibility is shared with at least one additional intercessor. If one cannot pray that week, another will pray.

We do not want the burden to be too heavy. Jesus said: “My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” (Matt 11:30) We believe that taking responsibility for one specific hour per week—when shared—is manageable. What matters is that no one is solely responsible for an hour.

​

7. PRAYER REPORTS

​

Each Prayer House leader will report weekly to the Prayer General what they prayed or what the Lord showed them. The report need not be long.

The seven Prayer Generals will in turn submit a summary to the overall leadership of the prayer watch.

​

8. WEEKLY PRAYER ON ZOOM

​

All intercessors will be invited to pray together weekly on Zoom—Mondays in Swedish and Wednesdays in English. This will keep the prayer watch united and focused, and strengthen every intercessor.

​

9. PRAYER THREE TIMES A DAY

​

Besides their weekly hour, we encourage every intercessor to pray three times a day, as Daniel did: “…in his upper room with windows open toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he knelt down, prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.” (Dan 6:10) David also wrote: “Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and He hears my voice.” (Ps 55:17–18)

Note: Praying three times a day is a biblical discipline we strongly encourage, but it is not a requirement for participating in the prayer watch.

We also encourage all intercessors to complete our four-lesson Prayer School, available for free download at norden714.com.

​

10. GROWTH

​

Twenty-four Prayer Houses for each day of the week is only the beginning. Although we emphasize quality over quantity, we believe the Lord will add more than 24 Prayer Houses in each country/region.

​

TAKE YOUR PLACE ON THE WALL!

​

“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the Lord in remembrance, take no rest, and give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth.” (Isa 62:6–7)

​

We believe that God Himself will call every intercessor who will participate in this day-and-night prayer for the salvation of Israel and for revival in the Nordic region and Europe back to Jerusalem. Each intercessor will have their place on the wall in this continuous prayer. It is written: “I will stand at my watchpost and station myself on the tower; I will look out to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.” (Hab 2:1)
