A Testimony from Dr Ernest Crocker after finishing the program of Kjell Sjoberg in 2020 with his wife Lynne.

Dear Lillian and Bjorn,

Thank you so much for allowing Lynne and I to attend the seminar series by Kjell Sjoberg on Spiritual Warfare. And thank you, in particular, for repeating the sessions on Saturday mornings. It would have been impossible for us to attend on Friday evenings owing to our ongoing commitment to the CMDFA national prayer meeting for healthcare workers for which I am responsible.

The series brought back a number of happy memories for us. I was reminded of a series of lectures that I attended by Dean Sherman on spiritual warfare. One of these was at YWAM Canberra. Noel and Barbara Bell were there at the time. It was also great to see Keith Browning from the Kihilla Fellowship. He was a great friend and mentor to me and my friends, all of us young medical graduates at the time.

Kjell’s message is just as relevant now in this broken/woken world as it was when first presented. It was encouraging to see how many young people were involved in the presentations. Yet sadly so few young Christians are even familiar with the concept of spiritual warfare today. It is not taught in the mainline churches, and we are seeing so many young Christians come to grief through sheer ignorance and lack of understanding. We are doing our best to correct this with young healthcare workers but so many of them are so busy with church activities that they are simply not available. Outer court ministry can be just as time consuming and exhausting now, as it was in bible times.

The content was of course excellent and there was just the right balance of prayer and sharing. It was also a delight to meet with the other like-minded participants.

Thank you, once again dear friends, for allowing us to participate in these presentations.

Every Blessing to you both,

Ern

Spiritual Warfare with Kjell Sjoberg

Introduction

In 1987, Kjell Sjoberg came to Canberra, Australia for a few weeks to prepare people to pray for spiritual breakthrough in Australia, particularly prior to the opening of the new Parliament House in 1988. Much of this training was recorded on 15 videotapes, and these had been used subsequently in Australia to privately train teams of prayer leaders and intercessors.

Kjell, originally from Sweden, was raised up by God in the 1960s to lead warfare against deep-rooted spiritual darkness there, often from many centuries past, to liberate cities, town and regions in Sweden for evangelisation of the gospel of Christ. He and his wife Lena subsequently went out to European nations and helped prayer teams to do the same in their countries, eventually expanding to many nations across the globe.

Little is available of Kjell’s writing in English (a few papers and published books exist), and there are almost no videos in English except for these recordings from 1987. The videos were transferred to DVDs in the early 2000s, but as the tapes were quite worn by then, the video quality is poor. Nonetheless, Kjell’s teaching is very rich and still relevant today for Spiritual Warfare (and prophetic ministry), and there are many references to events and organisations at that time which are now well-known.

Bjorn and Lilian Schmid were blessed to receive these DVDs in 2010 from Noel and Barbara Bell (former leaders of “Intercessors for Australia”). After viewing them Bjorn and Lilian realised the potential benefits of training others and through Noel and Barbara they obtained permission from Kjell’s wife Lena to use these videos to teach others as part of their mission.

Bjorn and Lilian however waited on God for the right time to use them, and early in 2021, God said “Now!” The first program was run over Zoom with people attending from across Australia, and a few from overseas (Africa and the USA). All who completed the course said they enjoyed it, were challenged by the depth of Kjell’s teaching, and would seek to apply it in their own spheres of influence and their nations.

The Program

the-life-of-kjell-sjc3b6berg.pdf is a video program run over 15 weeks on-line in Zoom from February through to May each year, usually on Friday nights from 8:30pm and repeated on Saturday morning 9am – Sydney times (note that we skip the Easter week-end).

In each video (except for the team reports) Kjell addresses the titled topic with scripture and personal testimony from his worldwide ministry. Each session builds on the previous sessions – it is important to watch all sessions in sequence and not ‘pick-and-choose’ topics. Prior to each session, those registered for the program will receive reminder emails with the list of scripture references and the Zoom link (and times) for the session.

The Program sessions are:

Soldering for Christ
The Fighting Spirit
Training for God’s Army
The High Places
Finding Your Place in the Army
Strategies to Take Cities
Learning to Do Battle
War Against Jezebel
Cleansing the Land
Guerrilla Warfare
Elijah Anointing
Expect Breakthroughs
Warfare Team Reports (Part 1)
Warfare Team Reports (Part 2)
Take Possession of the Land

Each Zoom session opens with a prayer and the video is started punctually on-time. Most of the videos are over an hour and usually a 5-minute break/intermission is taken around half-way. At the end of the video the host asks the attendees to share for 2-3 minutes what stood out for them in the video and we may discuss this for a bit. We then close with a prayer. There is no pressure on anyone attending, but we encourage everyone to participate as much as they are able – all benefit from all sharing what God has put in their hearts!

The next program will start in February 2023. To register please contact us by email to info@prayerstrategy.org

These sessions are very relevant to today’s battles – as our God is the same, our enemy is also the same, but unlike God who is creative, the enemy does the same things to every generation.

Please email me your interest and please take it before the Lord because there is a commitment in this program. More information here https://prayerstrategy.org/spiritual-warfare/

God bless
