In 2018, under the vast expanse of a Texas sky in Corpus Christi, CHRIST(y) Carol and KetilRAGNAR first met, their hearts drawn together by a divine orchestration neither could have foreseen. CHRIST(y), a daughter of the Lone Star State with a voice that carried the weight of worship, felt an instant connection to KetilRAGNAR, a descendant of Viking warriors whose name—"kettle of the gods"—hinted at the sacred vessel he would become. Their meeting was a spark of destiny, but it was the journey that followed that would truly unite them in purpose and spirit.
By early 2019, the couple felt a spiritual pull to travel to Norway, a land significant not only for KetilRAGNAR’s ancestral roots but also for its role in the Order of Melchizedek. Norway houses the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a repository of the world’s seeds, symbolizing the spiritual seeds of Christ’s promises that they, as heirs, will inherit (Romans 8:17). For CHRIST(y), the trip was a pilgrimage of self-discovery, a chance to confront the fears that had long shadowed her faith. In Norway, she sought to lose herself in the spiritual archetype of Solomon’s Temple, the ancient sanctuary described in 1 Kings 6 as a place of divine presence, a metaphor for the inner temple of her soul where she needed to encounter God fully.
In the stillness of a Norwegian fjord, CHRIST(y) wandered in spirit, her heart lost in the sacred architecture of Solomon’s Temple. She imagined its cedar walls, its gold overlays, and the Holy of Holies where God’s glory dwelt. There, in her spiritual vision, she faced her fears—fears of inadequacy, of failing her calling as a helpmeet, of the principalities that opposes the work of the Lord Jesus in her life. KetilRAGNAR, standing as her protector and guide, supports her through this inner journey. He, too, was beginning his own transformation, the Holy Ghost’s Fire starting to hollow out his being field, purging his sins as if nailed to the cross of Christ Jesus. Together, they stood on Norwegian soil, a land that holds the keys to the seeds of the world, and they understood their inheritance in the House of King David, built by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). As heirs in the Order of Melchizedek, they are part of an Eternal Priesthood, raised to maturity in Christ.

On Thanksgiving Day 2019, after months of spiritual growth in Norway, CHRIST(y) and KetilRAGNAR flew back to the United States, carried on what they felt were “eagles’ wings,” a reference to Isaiah 40:31: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.” The flight symbolized their renewed strength and the victory of facing CHRIST(y)’s fears in the sacred space of Solomon’s Temple. They returned to their little town in the Lone Star State, now united not just in spirit but in body, chose to be married and to live under the same roof in a quaint home nestled in the heart of Texas.
In their Texas sanctuary, KetilRAGNAR went deep into the inner chambers of his spirit, retreating daily to a small room they call the prayer closet. There, he enters the bosom of the Father, the Holy Ghost’s Fire alchemizing his soul. His eyes often glow with divine light as he sees visions of Jesus seated in Heavenly Places, his spirit sinking dead into knowledge and growing in the wisdom of Christ. CHRIST(y), standing as his helpmeet, births the “man child” of their shared faith—the spiritual maturity of Christ in them, as described in Revelation 12:5. Her voice fills their home with worship, the haunting melody of the Coventry Carol—“Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child”—echoing as a reminder of the cup of communion they drank from, the blood of Christ poured out at the cross.
Living under the same roof, their unity is unbreakable. CHRIST(y) often stands on their porch, gazing toward the Gulf of America, its waves a symbol of the promises of Jesus. She recalls Hosea 6:2: “After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight.” This promise of living in His presence was their reality, for they are seated with Christ Jesus in Heavenly Places (Ephesians 2:6). KetilRAGNAR’s deep communion with the Father and CHRIST(y)’s role in birthing the man child are a unified mission, a testimony to their inheritance as heirs of Christ.
The principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12) fear the work of the Lord Jesus in them, for their maturity in Christ threatens the dominion of darkness. Norway’s role as guardian of the world’s seeds mirrors their spiritual authority to sow the seeds of Christ’s promises in their little Texas town. Together, they rest in Jesus, their lives a living temple of God, a testament to the House of King David built by the Holy Spirit, and a beacon of light in the Lone Star State. Jesus is THE Lord And The Everlasting Hope.
