2016 - The year I left The Last Reformation

Hello guys out there! Happy New Year!
This is a New Year video, but it's much

more than that. This is an amazing
testimony of what God has been doing

in 2016 and is a testimony about the
Holy Spirit working. We are going to look

at what next year will bring - 2017.
So, I hope you are ready because 2017

I can say right away is a special year for
us. Because we are coming out with the

next movie. And the first movie was a
big, big thing this year and it really,

really made a big impact on many people's
lives. But next year, 2017, the new movie

is going to come out. And it will come out
at the end of the year, around the 500

year anniversary of the Reformation with
Martin Luther. Because next year is 500

years ago, Martin Luther on the 31st of
October 1517 stood in Wittenburg in

front of the church and put his 95 theses
on the church door. That became the

beginning of what we know as the
Reformation. Now 500 years later, we are

standing here, not with 95 theses, but
with a very, very special movie that's

going to come out next year. And it is
special in many, many ways. Because one

of the highlights in that movie is about a
special person we kickstarted in

Wittenburg, Germany outside the same door
500 years later where Martin Luther was.

And what we have in the next movie is
special in so many ways and for us, we

really see how God is working with it.
And I don't think it's just a coincidence

that this comes now 500 years after Luther
I think it's a time now when God is doing

something and it's going so fast. And we
have already seen it this year 2016 has

been special in so many areas. For me as
a person, for people I work with, I would

say The Last Reformation as a movement
because 2016 was a real test for me, a

big trial where God tested our hearts and
God came in and did something we never

saw coming. And I think what happened in
2016 will form my life and form The Last

Reformation in the future. And I want to
use this video to tell a little about it.

Because what I'm going to say here, I've
not shared before on a video. There have

only been a few people who have known
about it. But, I feel it is important that

you out there also know what God has
done. This year at the Jesus Hotel where

we have our place here, and the Pioneer
Training School, we have gone through a

crazy time. It started suddenly with a lot
of mistrust. There was a lot of lack of

confidence towards each other and people
suddenly didn't like to be here and to

work here anymore. And I wondered, What
is going on? I knew something was wrong,

but I and my friend Peter and the other
people who were working here did not see

what the problem was. But we know that
today. There were some people who came in

who should not have been here. And through
a lot of lies and manipulation and through

a lot of spiritual war, satan came in and
destroyed a lot of things. And it actually

came to that point that my good friend
Peter, who owned the Jesus Hotel, came

to me around a half year ago and said,
Torban, there is a problem here. I don't

know how we can solve it. I think the only
way we can solve it is if you step out of

The Last Reformation, step out of the
Board. Because some of the people

who are making problems, it was what
they came to that I was the problem.

And I was like, What? And he really meant
it, that the only way we could save this

was by me stepping out. When I heard
that I was like (stunned!), okay, I need

to go and talk with God about it. And I
went and talked with God and I said,

God what is happening? I know something is
wrong. I know Satan is really working

right now. But am I the problem? Shall I
step out? Is that the only way to save

this movement? To save what God is doing?
And I had some amazing days with a battle

I have never seen before. It was a
spiritual fight. For three days I couldn't

eat, I couldn't sleep almost. I couldn't
do anything. I was sitting on the kitchen

table. I was crying and shouting to God.
God, what is happening? And I felt this

as a spiritual wall, really spiritual
wall. Come on God, I started this.

This started in our basement with the
book and with the Pioneer School.

And now there's so many people all over
the world who love it. We have given out

one movie, the next movie is coming and
You want me to give it all over to some

other people and let go? And I took some
days and prayed and prayed. Suddenly,

in the middle of everything, God spoke to
me. First thing He said, Torban, the

movement is born. You can let go. And
when He spoke to that, The movement is

born, you can let go. It was so special.
I felt that now it's up and out and nobody

can destroy it. It's birthed now. It's
born as a movement, not just a ministry.

It's born a movement all over the world.
And He said, Torban, the movement is born.

You can let go. And then He said, Give it
over. Step out! And when He said that, in

the same moment, I felt like a spiritual
wall and then I felt like deliverance.

I felt something just die in me. Something
just let go in me. And I was crying and I

was "whew!" I can let go now. I can let
go. God wants me to let go. And it was

so strong and it was like suddenly I was
out of it. Suddenly I was not part of it

anymore. Suddenly it was not mine.
Something I was working with, I could

now let go and God wanted me to give
The Last Reformation, the website, the

email, the money, the decision, over to
some other people. So I called my friend

Peter and said, Peter, God has said I
should step out. I let go. And he was

surprised, people were surprised. When
I said it there came a few people to me

afterwards and said, Torban, Torban,
this is not right what is happening.

You should not do this. But when they
said that, I said, Stop, I don't want to

hear! This is what God has said I should
do and therefore this is what I do.

And I didn't fully understand it. But
I knew it was God. So I stepped out of

The Last Reformation and I gave it over to
somebody else. And it was a weird

experience. Because suddenly I was not
part of it anymore. Suddenly I was

standing from outside and looking at it
from outside. And when you're not part

of something and you're standing outside
and looking at it and you see things with

different eyes. And I saw with different
eyes and I thought, Wow, Oh, if I'm part

of it and I've done like this and done
like this and if we'd have done like this,

then we could not, it was not easy to
be destroyed because of this and this.

And there were many things I suddenly
saw. But now I was not part of it anymore.

So I said, God what do I do? What shall I
do now? A few days later I went to America

to have a meeting there in Texas. I was
focused in getting ready for the meeting.

Then I suddenly got an email, it was six
days after I stepped out. I got an email

from Peter, my friend who owned the Jesus
Hotel and those things. He wrote in an sms

Torban, I told you I was happy for the
things that were happening now. But,

I'm not happy anymore. Since you stepped
out, everything became about saving money,

like running a business, and not the faith
that God is in control. And the vision is

God. And he said, if this is how we want
to run it, I don't want to be part of it

anymore. I'm going to sell the Jesus
Hotel. I'm going to rent the building out

to somebody else and the Pioneer School
and The Last Reformation can move and

find a cheaper place, another place to be.
And I got that text message in America.

"Whhhat?" God, You said that I should
step out. you said that I should let go

and six days later everything is falling
down. And it really looked like this place

was dying. It looked like everything was
wrong. Like the Pioneer Training School

was dying. Whew! And when I got that text
message I wondered, What is happening??

I went for prayer and I had a long jet lag
in America. So I was up early and walking

and praying. Then I got one of the
strongest experience I've had. It came as

a total surprise. But when I was out
praying and shouting to God, I said,God

what is happening? You told me to let go.
You told me to give over The Last

Reformation and I've done it. You said
that it is born and nobody can destroy it.

Now, it's all falling down. And then God
spoke to me. He spoke to me so clearly.

And He said, Torban, it was all a test.
Like Abraham was willing to offer Isaac.

You were willing to offer all of this. But
now I give it back. Whhat? And it came as

a total surprise for me, like, Was it a
test? Do I get it back? What do You mean?

And I came home from that prayer and then
Peter had sent an email to me and he said,

Torban, it was all a test. I feel it was
all a test. Like Abraham was willing to

offer Isaac. You were willing to offer all
of this. We need you back. And it was

just a strong confirmation of what God
had just been speaking to me about.

After a few days I was back again. And it
was so special. But when I came back the

problem was still there, but then God
started to work. God started to reveal

what the problem was and who was creating
problems and everything. The Holy Spirit

really came in and did amazing things.
Suddenly, Ph! Ph! Ph! God spoke. He sent

people from other countries to prophesy
over us and it was confirmation of another

prophecy we got. God spoke to people and
revealed what the problem was. And,

suddenly, everything just changed.
And now we are standing here on the

other side, stronger than ever before.
There is a unity with those people who

are here that we have never had before.
There's a love, there's a strength like we

have never had before. And we are standing
so much stronger than we have ever done

before. And we have learned so much. We
have learned that this belongs to God.

It's really His. The Last Reformation is
born as a movement. It's God's.

It belongs to Him. We also know and I know
it's not mine. We are just stewards of

what God has entrusted to us. And God can
remove everyone He wants to remove and

give it over to anybody He desires to do
it. And it really created a fear of God

which I never had before when I came to
this place and what God is doing. So,

this has been a very special year. I want
to say, no matter how big your ministry is

going to be, it's all about Jesus. It's
not about the ministry. Its not about

the name. It's about Him. And I have
seen that. I passed that test. And I

would say, if I had not done what I should
do and step out, then we would not be

here today. Because Satan was in, trying
to destroy it all. But, because I did

what I should do, God came and changed
everything. If we humble ourselves, God is

going to intervene. He's going to lift us
up. I saw it. I experienced it. And it was

a strong, strong experience. It was also
a spiritual battle. I saw that, God spoke

to me that every other movement that
had been through the years have gone

through a battle like this. But many have
not passed this test and have ended up

as their old thing. A church organisation
one more time. And I felt that this test

this thing was so important for me, so
important for us, so that we should not

end up like a church organisation one more
time and things are going to die. But that

we will really see it become exactly what
God has called it to be.

After that experience, God intervened.
This place changed. The last Kickstarts

I was on, or the next Kickstarts after
this were so strong. It just took off.

More people came. More people met God.
More people got baptised and set free.

It just exploded, exploded, exploded!
And something changed in me and I

felt it and other people felt it. And this
is a year where we are going to write

about this in a book in the future. 2016
was a year where God tested our hearts.

Where God wanted to cut away those things
that He didn't like. Where God allowed

things to test us, to try us, to see
where our hearts were. But we passed

the test. And God came and did something
we have never seen before. And we go into

this new year with a faith and with an
expectation that this year 2017 is going

to be amazing. Persecution is not going
to stop, I know that. There's going to be

more problems, but we are more aware of
it now. But this year, we are going to see

a lot of things. I can tell right now that
the first Pioneer Training School in

America is going to start now, in
February in America. In March in Canada.

We're going to have the first German
speaking Pioneer Training School in April,

In March, I think. February or March, I
don't remember right now. In Switzerland

there's going to be a Pioneer Training
School there. So in the first three months

we're going to see three new Pioneer
Training Schools start. Next year 2017 is

also going to be the year where we here
at the Jesus Hotel, are going to start a

Pioneer Leadership School. That is a two
month training school for those people

who are ready to give up everything and
who have been on the Pioneer Training

School. Who have been on the three week
school, can join the two month afterwards.

We are right now looking at another place
where we can have this place and are

praying for that. So that we can somehow
run two schools, the three week school

and the two month school. We are just
expecting great things. The movie is going

to come out. The movie is going to be
special. In a few weeks I'm travelling to

Brasil with my friend Fabien, with Lebo
and others to film also. The beginning of

next year we are going to Brazil, South
Africa, we're talking about America again

Norway, Hong Kong we're talking about and
many other places. I hope this testimony

spoke to you. I hope even though it's a
bit long video, but I think that this is

important for you to know what has been
going on. Don't go into details as to what

happened and why and who caused problems.
Because it's actually not important. God

allowed things to test our heart. God
allowed things to try us, to cut things

away, so that we can bear even more fruit.
This is the fig tree all over again.

Jesus wants us to bear fruit. But He also
prunes us and cuts things away so that

we can bear even more fruit. And He's
testing our hearts to see if our hearts is

ministry or our hearts is Him. Where is
our focus? Because it's all about Jesus.

It's all about serving Him. I have one
goal and it's not the Pioneer Training

School. It's not the Pioneer Leadership
School. It's not The Last Reformation.

I have one goal and that is to stand in
front of Him one day, and have been

faithful with what He has entrusted me.
Now that He has entrusted me with The

Last Reformation, I want to be faithful
with that. But if He says, Give it over.

Let it go. I will give it over and let go.
Why? Because it's not about this. It's

about what He says. It's about being
faithful with the things He has entrusted

me. And if He had not trusted me with
this, then, and He wants to trust me with

something else, that is what I'm faithful
with. And I think this should be our heart

It's about Him. It's about living in
faithfulness. It's about obeying Him.

So God bless you. A big greeting from
here to all of you and God bless you

out there. See the Pioneer School online.
There are twenty four lessons now. Share

it, share the movie. Keep praying for us.
Keep supporting us. We need your prayers

we need your support because it's an
important time we're in. God is doing

amazing things. Satan hates us. And
God is great! So it's good. We are doing

well. So God bless you all out there.
A big greeting from here. Bye bye.
