1. HOLY SPIRIT CALLS YOU
Beloved saint of God,
Jesus calls you to the miraculous and wonderful life style in
the power of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit leads you to live,
to experience and see continually increasing revelation of Jesus.
He leads to the life style, which you cannot conceive by you
natural mind. By faith you will live in the realm of the Spirit,
where the conditions of the visible world do not limit your thoughts,
speaking or acts.
In
the preparation to this Holy Spirit will lead you to walk through
the consuming fire, to get soft in your heart, to clean
yourself from the secret sins and to get stronger in the faith
through tests. Be humble and flexible. Prepare yourself to receive
deeper changes as you would expect. Set the fundaments of your
life into the order. Develop a living love relationship with
Jesus Restore your human relations, business and finances into
the order of God's kingdom.
Our prayer is, that the Lord would give us teaching that is
inspired by the Spirit. Let this teaching lead you into the extraordinary
anointing of the Holy Spirit and prepare you for a new ministry.
Let the Holy Spirit fill you with His presence and strengthen
you in Jesus so much that you will be able to show the 'power
and the Spirit of God' in your ministry!
Jesus can touch, heal, deliver and lead you out from any distress,
sickness, problem or impasse. His salvation covers all areas
of life. He will bring the health of the body, balance of life,
wholeness, freedom, spiritual abilities, healthy mind, financial
balance, ministry relations, restoration of the human relations
and everything that the abundant life in this world requires.
Seek the presence of Jesus and yield yourself unto His increasing
glory and the darkness will flee away!
In this teaching series we will process eg. following areas:
- Understanding the salvation of Jesus
- The position of the new creation in Jesus
- Personal condition of the heart
- Life style, attitudes and orientation
- Living faith relationship with Jesus
- Jesus in the Holy Spirit
- Identity as the follower of Jesus
- Cooperation with Jeesus/Holy Spirit
- Gifts of the Holy Spirit
- Offices of the Holy Spirit
- Growing up in the faith
- Life style of worshipping God
Jesus will lead you in the supernatural transformation process.
It will be accomplished by the genuine revelation of the Word
of God, that meets your thirsty heart. When the Word settles
down in your heart, Holy Spirit quickens it and you will receive
a NEW REVELATION about the Kingdom of God.
We will teach matters, which you may know by your understanding,
but which you have not yet received by faith as a reality of
your life. We train you to step in faith into the life of the
Kingdom of God. Jesus will lead you from the theoretical rationalism
to the living faith and to the real powerful works!
John
7:37-39: Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come
unto me and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture
hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on
him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet [given]; because
Jesus was not yet glorified. (ASV)
The Holy Spirit flows from the innermost being of the person,
from his heart. The innermost being of the person is the source
and channel of the river of living waters. Therefore, when you
hunger after the power of the Holy Spirit, you need to allow
Jesus cleanse and remove any obstacles which would hinder the
flow of the love. Yield yourself unconditionally to Jesus and
let Him touch continually your heart, make it soft and fill with
His love and glory.
Heb 4:12: For the word of God is living,
and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing
even to the
dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and
quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. (ASV)
Adopt a custom of life where you meditate daily essential teachings
of Jesus. They are Words of God and therefore they are quick
and powerful to change you. Do not say, that I have heard this
and that already. Say instead to Jesus: Let it HAPPEN TO ME according
to your Word! Decide to put into effect the teaching of the Word
of God in your life! Read the truths of the Word of God word
so long, that they descend from your head into your heart and
create the reality of the Kingdom of God in your life! Tarry
in the presence of the Holy Spirit and the revelation of Jesus
will increase and brighten evermore!
2. SALVATION IN JESUS
John
1:12-13: But as many as received him, to them gave he the right
to become children of God, [even] to them that believe
on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of
the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Word 'child' comes here from the original Greece from the verb
'tikto' which means to 'give birth'. That means literally 'produced
offspring'.
In the process of the new birth God gives birth to a new creation,
which has come from Him. Born again person has got from God properties,
which did not exist in the natural person before. This is the
start of the change and growth, which ends to the everlasting
unity with God in the heaven.
It is necessary, that you as a born again believer you assimilate
yourself as a being of divine origin. Although you live in the
body of flesh, your true personality is spiritual, the inner
man. You have been delivered from the slavery of the sin that
operates through the flesh. Your new creation has been created
to grow and to control instead of the your corrupt natural mind.
You don't need try to strive after this position. You have been
just set into that as a result of God's creative work.
"…
TO THEM GAVE HE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD…"
Word 'right' comes from the word 'exousia' in Greece, which
means 'privilegde', 'authority', 'capacity', 'competence', 'freedom
to act' or 'mastership'. You are able to get into the position
of a child of God only if you receive the power, authorization
and ability from God. But now the God has just given this power
for everyone who believe in Jesus! Praise the Lord!
John
1:12-13: But as many as received him, TO THEM GAVE HE THE RIGHT
TO BECOME
CHILDREN OF GOD, [even] to them that believe
on his name…
You have the ability, right and power to become a child of God,
like Jesus, because Father God has lavished and commanded you
this ability. God hasn't made your life finished. It is just
your task to grow in faith possessing this power and capasity
in the cooperation with the Holy Spirit. Then you will achieve
the fullness in Jesus and in His Kingdom.
Eph
1:3-7: Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in
the heavenly [places] in Christ: even as he chose us in him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without
blemish before him in love: HAVING FOREORDAINED US UNTO ADOPTION
AS SONS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST UNTO HIMSELF, ACCORDING TO THE GOOD
PLEASURE OF HIS WILL, to the praise of the glory of his grace,
which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved: in whom we have
our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses,
according to the riches of his grace...
Luke
19:9-10: And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come
to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
The latter part of this verse says literally; THE SON OF GOD
HAS COVE TO SEEK AFTER THE DESTROYED (DROWNED, KILLED, FAILED).
Falling into sin separated the man from God and His life giving
presence. Jesus came to save the man from the eternal death and
destruction, which would wait him otherwise.
Word 'save' comes from the word 'sodzo' in Greece language,
which means 'make whole', 'save', 'heal'. The primary Greece
word is 'sos', which is contraction for the obsolet 'saos' meaning
'safe'. Jesus came to rescue the human race from the oppression
of the kingdom of darkness, where sin, sickness, diseases, demons
and other powers of darkness are tormenting the man.
Jesus
did not only carry our sins and sicknesses but He translated
us OUT from the kingdom of darkness and took us under His protection
INTO the Kingdom of God. He delivered every man from every
bondage of inequity that would hold the man under the dominion
of the enemy. This salvation of Jesus will become effective
and manifested as soon as WE BELIEVE IT AS OUR POSSESSION.
Col
1:9-15: For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it],
do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye
may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual
wisdom and understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord unto all
pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in
the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according
to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering
with joy; giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to
be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; who delivered
us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom
of the Son of his love; in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness
of our sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
of all creation;
Through the salvation of Jesus God has already commanded every
believer to be removed from the kingdom of darkness and into
the Kingdom of Jesus. You can receive all this content of the
salvation plan BY FAITH. When you see, understand and complete
trust that you are not anymore a slave of the sin, the new creation
will rise up in you and reign in you and lead your life. When
you believe and possess the fact that you have already been delivered
from the power of sin, sickness and any darkness, the Holy Spirit
will lead you into the victorious faith life! Possess and embrace
the truth of salvation and worship the Lord for His incomprehensible
mercy and grace!
Father God has commanded this to happen for them, that worship
his only begotten Son as their Savior! Accept, meditate and
proclaim this truth for yourself so long, that you have it
permanently in your heart.
John
8:31-32: Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed
him, IF YE ABIDE IN MY WORD, [THEN] ARE YE TRULY MY DISCIPLES;
AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.
3. YOU ARE COMMANDED TO LIVE
IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Now
is the time to move from the recalling of the individual Bible
verses to the comprehensive seeing and understanding of
the kingdom of God. Through His work of salvation Jesus has
prepared us the way into His Kingdom. When we receive by faith
the WHOLE
salvation as our possession, God will translate us COMPLETELY
out from the sphere of power where sin, sickness, demons and
other darkness are ruling. As
a result of the new birth a new creation is living in you.
You have been born from God and you live from the kingdom of
God and in the kingdom of God. The 'old man' is the slave of
the sin and lives under the dominion of the prince of this world.
The 'new creation' is the child of God and the true personality
of the believer. You are living under the cloud of the glory
of God here in the visible world, which is still under the control
of the darkness.
1
John 3:9: No not one from God been born to make sin, the with
that seed of God continues to be in him; and not he you
can get sin make, in that he has from the God been born.
Through Jesus God has given you the POWER TO BECOME THE CHILD
OF GOD. You have got the power, ability and authority to lead
a life as a new creation. God has given you the power, whereby
you overcome the power of the tormentor. You have got the faith
and capacity to win the slavery of the powers of darkness. Jesus
has already prepared this for you. Your life is your promised
land, which you are called to conquer with Jesus into the Kingdom
of God.
ON THE LEVEL OF FAITH you are already translated from the kingdom
of darkness, although you still live in the visible world with
a lot of darkness around. You have got the rights of the citizenship
of the Kingdom of God. In His Kingdom there is no sin, no illness,
no death and nothing kind of darkness. In His Kingdom there
are all kinds of life in entirety, peace, joy and abundance.
In the kingdom of God you have the responsibility to confess
and reject your sins. Then you also have the right to receive
forgiveness of the sins, receive healings and all other riches
of the Father as blessings of your life. These are the civil
rights and responsibilities of the citizens of His Kingdom. Father
God has commanded these to be your inheritance in Jesus.
The mercy of God is ruling over your whole life and walk of
faith. His mercy has appeared to save you all the time. You
can't ever fall to anything that would be beyond His mercy.
But remember, although the mercy of God is unlimited, sin can
entice the heart of a man so, that he estranges from the God.
Continuous practising of the sin can spoil man's soul so, that
he wouldn't want to return to God in 'right time'. That's why
you need to watch over your conduct of life in humility and
obedience close with God. Humility of the heart is enormous
protection and resource. When pride no longer tempts the soul,
God can pour a great glory upon His servant.
4. HOLY SPIRIT SEALS THE SALVATION IN JESUS
God created Lucifer as a high-ranking cherub, whose task was
to worship God on the mountain of the glory. Before his fall
the cherub was in the condition of the obedience and glory like
Jesus was. But Lucifer fell away from this glory and got outside
of Jesus and under the sentence of death. Before falling into
the sin Adam was in the presence of God in the condition of the
glory without sin. But Lucifer enticed Adam and Eeva away from
the obedience and submission to God. As a result the man got
into the road of destruction wherefrom only Jesus was able to
rescue him.
Jesus is the Ruler and and the King on the throne of the Father.
Father exalted Him into this position after the sacrificial death
and the atonement. Now Jesus is not only a Person of God on the
throne of the father, just all heavens exists in him. Jesus is
omnipresent everywhere in the heaven through His supernatural
reality.
Col
1:19-20: For it was the good pleasure [of the Father] that
in him should all the fulness dwell; and through him to reconcile
all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood
of his cross; through him, [I say], whether things upon the earth,
or things in the heavens.
Jesus reconciled a sinful man with God. He prepared for the
believers a divine TRANSFORMATION BY THE RESURRECTION POWER.
This work of the Holy Spirit makes a believer fitting as a citizen
of the Kingdom of God. Jesus did not only rescue people into
His presence in the heaven but in a secret way He saved the believers
to live IN HIM in the heaven!
1 John 3:2: Beloved, now are we children
of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We
know that, if he shall
be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even
as he is.
Luke 17:20-21: And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom
of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo, here!
or, There! for lo, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.
Rom
14:17: for the KINGDOM OF GOD IS not eating and drinking, but
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Jesus is the kingdom of God and the kingdom of God is in Him.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to bring the presence of the
Kingdom of God on the earth into the kingdom of the prince of
this world. The Holy Spirit will take from the possessions of
Jesus and distribute to us.
John 16:13-15: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak
from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, [these] shall
he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to
come. He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall
declare [it] unto you. All things whatsoever the Father hath
are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall
declare [it] unto you.
Jesus is in the heaven in the type of the glory like the Father.
If Jesus would come back on country, the elements would melt
from the heat, as Peter says. Jesus is now permanently in the
full brightness on the throne of the Father. But Holy Spirit
has been sent to the world and Jesus is revealed through Him
in the world. Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus. Without the presence
of the Holy Spirit there is not personal presence of Jesus. Holy
Spirit is able to bring ALL THE BLESSINGS OF JESUS into the world.
Holy Spirit authorizes and anoints the servants of God to be
able to carry out the supernatural task of the preaching the
good news of the Kingdom of God. That's why Jesus said to the
disciples that wait for the fulfilling of the promise of the
Father, before you will move on. Without the equipping of the
Holy Spirit the disciples would have had only the Word and their
own faith. But through the anointing the supernatural person
of Jesus started to move with them and do more than the apostles
themselves would have ever been able to do.
Eph
1:13-14: in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth,
the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed,
ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, which is an earnest
of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession,
unto the praise of his glory.
The presence of the Holy Spirit is the presence of Jesus. Holy
Spirit has the capacity to come silently or like a storm. He
will meet everyone on the level of his ability to receive and
will lead into increasing glory. But remember, the Holy Spirit
has the capacity and authorization to reveal and manifest THE
COMPLETE SALVATION OF JESUS into this world. Holy Spirit is enormously
strong and with Him all things are possible. The touch of the
Holy Spirit is the touch of the resurrection power. All that
the Holy Spirit touches will become healed, revived, alive and
into the order of the Kingdom of God: the sick will be healed,
creative miracles will happen, the dead will be raised up, the
demons flee and so on.
5. LOVE AND BLESS THE PRESENCE OF JESUS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Because we want to enter into the realms of the power of the
Holy Spirit we have to cleanse our heart, mind and life from
all influence that would resist the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit
will fall down into the place where He is welcomed. It is not
of the reason that He would be some 'timid bird' or He wouldn't
dare to touch some person or evil things. This is because Jesus
saves only those who want to get out of the darkness because
they prefer the glory in favour of darkness. If you don't want
to dwell in His presence, He will let you be alone. But you can
call the Holy Spirit to touch yourself or anyone thirsting in
whatever condition of the sin ever. Then He will come immediately
and there will be power to suffice!
Luke 13:34-35: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets,
and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have
gathered thy children together, even as a hen [gathereth] her
own brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house
is left unto you [desolate]: and I say unto you, Ye shall not
see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord.
Jesus appears when people start to bless those servants, which
come in the name of the Lord. When we bless the Holy Spirit,
His presence and His ministry, Jesus will reveal Himself to us!
Bless God, address Him love, praise, worship and respect.
Ps
103:1-5: Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me,
[bless] his holy name. Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget
not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who
healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who
satisfieth thy desire with good things, [So that] thy youth is
renewed like the eagle.
This is a matter of love relationship. God loves you with the
enormous love and you will love him from your WHOLE HEART. You
can 'thank' God with the cold heart, but you can't bless God,
unless you are wholeheartedly fallen in love with him.
When you bless Jesus, you bless His servants. Then you bless
His people and all people. You will renounce from bitterness,
critical spirit, judgements and gossiping concerning you brothers
and sisters. When you bless the Holy Spirit you will bless ALL
His presence. You will not criticize the manifestations that
will appear in the presence of the Holy Spirit. You will love
the increasing presence of the Glory with the heart of adoration.
You will love to see when people are receiving the divine touch
of the Holy Spirit and are transformed by the power of God. You
simply love Jesus so much from the deepest of your heart, and
long after Him increasingly. You will get a desire to get lost
in Jesus, to be translated into His supernatural realm. There
will happen things that are beyond your natural understanding!
My
daily prayer and worship:
"My
Lord Jesus, I confess you as my Savior, my Healer, my Deliverer
and as the only Source of Life, blessing and Light
of my life. I want to surrender to you, join you and serve you
such as you will lead me by your Holy Spirit. I want to grow
into you, be transformed into your likeness, to think, plan and
do things, which are of your heart. Release a new power and anointing
of the Holy Spirit upon me. Take me into the faith and life style,
where Your manifestation in my ministry is daily, performing
signs, wonders ad miracles.
Jesus, I thank You, praise You and worship You as the perfect
Savior and King. Your love, grace, mercy and power is wonderful.
Thank You for the Holy Spirit who directs and teaches me in every
situation. I trust that you will transform me in Your likeness.
I receive by faith a new plan to grow up in my calling in the
power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Jesus for doing this!
Jesus,
I want to dwell more and more in You. Come Holy Spirit and
cleanse
me by your fire. Jesus, fill me with your brightness!
Jesus, I want to hear Your voice, I want to see the glory and
love of Your face. Fill me with you power, I rejoice in your
presence, I adore and worship only You! Increase Your presence,
fill deeper, take into you cloud of Glory. Thank you beloved
Jesus for doing this! For You be the Glory and Honour!".
With love in Jesus Christ
