1. DEEPER REVELATION ABOUT SALVATION

Dear friend of revival,

Receive a new, deeper revelation about the wonderful salvation of Jesus for you! Grace of God is greater than you have experienced and His blessings are more plentiful than you have imagined. Open your spirit to look at Jesus in His glory. Open your heart fully for Him. Let all fear, anxiety, disappointment, depression and defeat melt down in your heart. The Lord is good and your salvation is firm and secured. You have already been set into the heavenlies with Jesus!

Zeph 3:14-17: Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not fear evil any more. In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack. Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.

This Bible verse is one of the brightest revelations about the salvation, into which JESUS HAS ALREADY BROUGHT HIS PEOPLE. The prophet of the Old Covenant was lifted up into the heavenly vision, which was matchless in the times of the prophets of old. He saw the judgement being removed and this fact opened a whole new river of blessing and life of victory. This vision is a bright window into the presence of the glory of Jesus in His church.

This vision of salvation is fulfilled already! You need not anymore to stretch out towards some future blessings. Jesus has already prepared all this for you. The fullness of salvation is for you to receive right now. Receive this vision in its fullness and as a fact for your life! Open your spirit to rest in the bliss of your salvation! You have already got the right to enjoy and receive all dimensions of this salvation in your life.

2 Pet 1:3-4: …seeing that his DIVINE POWER HATH GRANTED UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that called us by his own glory and virtue; whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust.

In Jesus God has given us ALL that we need in our life. The fullness of Deity dwells in Jesus and all creation consists in Him. Jesus is the abundance in all areas of human life: spirit, mind, body, ministry, economy, relations etc. The reason for your lack comes from darkness and you can remove your lack by receiving Jesus deeper in your life. Jesus is your Saviour in all areas of your life!

Trust in Jesus, surrender unto Him deeper than ever, because He is the Good Shepherd of your soul. He wants to give you all that are good and pleasant - through His presence in you. Jesus is your source of everything. When His presence fills your life, His blessings and abundant life will come upon you. His will give you more than you dare to pray or ask.

Rom 10:12: For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD IS LORD OF ALL, AND IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM:

The Holy Spirit glorifies the person of Jesus and the beatitude of His salvation for you. Receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Rise up in you spirit into heavenlies, because there is the source of your life and ministry! Praise and worship daily the Lord as a Source of your life. Ask for heavenly visions, because you will need them and the Lord has promised to give them to you. The Lord wants that you would be connected into heavenlies - all the time. This is the honour and privilege of His people!

2. SEEK AFTER JESUS HIMSELF!

Without Jesus a human being is praying from fear and unbelief. Even a believer often thinks in perplexed way of the Person and blessings of Jesus - because of the dead weight of sin and unbelief. In this condition a believer has not yet received the full spirit of adoption. Our heavenly Father has taken us into the position, in which we can totally rely on our Father and receive increasing blessings BY FAITH AS A BELOVED CHILD.

Rom 8:14-17: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

Be strengthened in the spirit of adoption, where there is no fear concerning the goodness of the Father. Let your heart be overwhelmed with joyful awareness that your heavenly Father is good! He has only good and merciful thoughts towards you. Be filled with confidence, happiness, gratitude and love towards your real Father!

The touch of the glory of Jesus will deliver you from the feelings and thoughts of lack and anxiety. May the abundance of love flood over you in His presence! Be free from soulish desires and compulsion to receive from the Lord something that is inspired by your own imagination. Let His Spirit deliver you into ever increasing faith and peace in your life. Be free from any strained attempts to 'squeeze' solutions from God. Surrender unto Jesus and let His revelation and presence solve your problems and fulfil your needs. Let the peace of Jesus fill your heart and deliver you from your anguish. Be filled with living faith and believe that you will receive!

Matt 6:31-33: Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

John 14:27: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

All solutions, healings and blessings of your life will become fulfilled in the condition where Jesus has authority in your life. Seek Jesus Himself, His will and presence. An encounter with Jesus will bring peace into your heart. From this peace your faith will rise up and receive. When He manifests Himself to you, He brings with Himself more than only the solutions for your needs. The presence of Jesus in your life is the heaven on the earth. When He comes upon you, there will rise up a whole new life plan, identity and abilities in your life.

Is 40:9-10: O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: BEHOLD, HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM, AND HIS RECOMPENSE BEFORE HIM.

The presence of Jesus is the manifestation of salvation, life and faith. Therefore PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED HIM AND CAME NEAR TO HIM - when Jesus ministered as the Anointed One - received easily faith for their healing. Wounds of sin and guilt were healed by the touch of Jesus. He was full of mercy and truth. Therefore no one had to leave from His presence with empty hands.

Is 62:9-11: …but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and THEY THAT HAVE GATHERED IT SHALL DRINK IT IN THE COURTS OF MY SANCTUARY. Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples. Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; BEHOLD, HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM, AND HIS RECOMPENSE BEFORE HIM.

The blessings of Jesus will be received and enjoyed only in His glorious presence! Jesus has come that you would have life and in abundance. Your disappointments towards God are caused by the lies of the enemy. Release your thoughts from wrong trails and proceed into the presence of Jesus - in reverent worship. Then you will receive and enjoy His blessings, praise God!

3. RECEIVING BY FAITH

All blessings, solutions, plans and decisions are received BY FAITH. The whole kingdom of God is established by faith. Nothing under His reign will operate in the condition of unbelief or natural mind. The heavenly things must be studied, received and worked out spiritually.

Heb 11:6: And WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE WELL-PLEASING UNTO HIM ; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.

God wants to bless you more than you believe! He doesn't limit his blessings, but the limits are in your faith (rather unbelief!). Because of sin your motives to desire something from God are often confused. Therefore seek the presence of the Holy Spirit and the mind of God in your heart. Come so near to Jesus that you will hear His blessed voice to open the doors of heaven for you! Learn to listen, what kind of blessings Jesus is lavishing upon you in each situation. Your heart has no strength to believe and receive without the green light of Jesus. This is because you can operate in supernatural realm only by faith of God, where natural mind is powerless. Jesus builds you up to become a hero of faith - as a new creation and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 15:4-8: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples.

When you examine the Word of God, your heart gets convinced from many things that are the will of God. By faith you can start receiving such kind of things without wavering. When the new creation rules in you, your heart is ready to receive continually from God. Therefore you need to cherish righteous and clean lifestyle - especially when you want to receive something great from God.

The condition of faith is free from the curse of law. Then you hate sin and love righteousness and your heart is yielded unto obedience to Jesus. It is the condition where you have 'put to death the deeds of the flesh'. Your thought life, ambitions and desires have become cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Then you dwell in Him and He dwells in you and whatever you ask from Him, He will give it to you!

Rom 8:13-14: …for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

1 John 3:19-22: Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

4. MORE YIELDING, MORE BLESSINGS!

The Word of God commands you to grow and root into Him until He has got a form in you - even unto perfection. Yielding unto Jesus is continuous and deepening process in your life. Therefore, although the new creature is in you, the natural old man may still rule some areas of your life.

In any situation Jesus has Good News for you! In spite of your wicked old flesh you are able to surrender Him totally! That potential is included in the salvation. Do not waver, because the ability to surrender is in you! The goal of the Gospel is just this: dying of the old man and revival of the new creation in you. Of course this will mean strong and deep change of life. But Jesus is prepared to do great and revolutionizing things also in you - as long as you want the same as He wants.

2 Pet 1:10-12: Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble: for THUS SHALL BE RICHLY SUPPLIED UNTO YOU THE ENTRANCE INTO THE ETERNAL KINGDOM OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with you.

In the process of rooting into Jesus you have your own part. Every choice of your life will reveal whether you are directing yourself towards Jesus or further from Him. You are responsible for your choices and you can not blame God for your deeds. However, in this battle of faith you never need to compromise because of unbelief. The Holy Spirit is your power and will strengthen you always in truth.

1 John 3:2-5: 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. And every one that hath this hope set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin.

Accept the full righteousness of Jesus for you and live accordingly. Seek the transforming touch of Jesus in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Let Him change your heart. Let Him enlighten even the most secret chambers of your life with his glory. Reject all enchantment of sinful and worldly life, because getting entangled with them will paralyze your faith and prevent you to receive your blessings. Make a decision in your heart to surrender fully unto Jesus. Then the cloud of glory will rest upon you and the heavenly blessings are flowing upon you. Glory to God!

Ef 2:8-10: for BY GRACE HAVE YE BEEN SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, that no man should glory. FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS FOR GOOD WORKS, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

5. RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

The perfection of God is not a human kind perfection through control of deeds, life or mind. His perfection in you is PERFECTION BY FAITH - on the basis of the Salvation of Jesus. Receive His forgiveness and go on forgiving others. Have full confidence in the completed reconciliation of your life, although the work of the Holy Spirit is still continuing in some areas of your life. Embrace the completed salvation and position as a spotless child of God that Jesus has given you!

You are a human being and only God is God. Jesus will always be your source and you will always be a receiver! By faith the cleansing cover of the blood of Jesus will always be upon you perfectly. God loves you and wants to bless you with all of His Goodness. You are a delight to God but your sins and sicknesses will trouble His loving heart, because He is your true Father. He knows how painful it is for a man to be under the slavery of sin or oppression of sicknesses. Therefore He has saved you in Jesus - completely out from the powers of darkness. Believe this position and blessing for yourself! Praise and worship the Lord in the presence of His Glory!

As soon as your heart has yielded into forgiveness, love and obedience in Jesus, your faith will become strong and fruitful. As soon as your will is convinced about the destructive power of sin, you will not take the bait of its temptations. You are convicted in your heart, that all that comes from darkness is filthy deception and will produce destruction and death. You must not be afraid of falling. Instead put your whole trust on Jesus, who is the author and finisher of your faith - and who is able to keep you forever.

God sees you all the time through the redemption of Jesus - since you received Him as your Saviour. Therefore God does not hold any blessing from you. But if you do not maintain a pure and righteous life style, your heart is not capable to receive by faith. When you cherish purity and keep yourself free from sinful and worldly practises, your heart will be strong and confident to receive God's abundant blessings.

Believe and receive the righteousness of Jesus in your life. Stand up in faith and live out the promises of God by your faith! YOUR NEW CREATION IS FREE FROM SIN AND PREPARED FOR ALL GOOD WORKS. DO NOT TRY TO BECOME a winner of sin BUT BELIEVE THAT YOU ALREADY ARE THE WINNER OF SIN in Jesus. DO NOT TRY TO GET HEALED from your sicknesses but BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ALREADY HEALED in Jesus! Look at your life from the godly position whereto you are already authorized through the blood of Jesus. Accept in your heart this be truth of your life. Speak yourself the reality of the Salvation of Jesus - and it will be manifested in you!

So what then is sin in your life? Firstly, sin is all that Bible says is sin. Therefore you need to study the Word in order to know, what kind of things you should not practise. However, there are many situations in your life where Bible gives no detailed advice. Then you need the personal advice from the Holy Spirit. If you are uncertain whether some intention is sin or not, you can think about if Jesus would do it. Can you praise and worship Jesus as the Lord of Glory while you are doing certain things? Does your spirit become silenced or does your worship turn off in that situation?

Col 3:1-11: If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

All people seek after blessings and solutions from that god they worship. Many unbelievers use more time 'in prayer' than those who believe in Jesus. The natural world considers devout prayer activity as holy and honourable. However, it is vain and useless unless that man has received Jesus and has surrendered his life under His reign. After this he will be set into the position where the God kind of faith starts operating in his life. All that is not from faith is sin.

James 2:19-20: Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

Faith is not knowledge that has been forged into your mind, how steadfast that might be. The essence of faith is its LIVING CHARACTER, which leads you to operate according to the spiritual truth that you have accepted by faith. The living faith moves and operates trusting on the invisible truths, although there is no visible evidence yet. When disciples asked Jesus to increase them faith, Jesus began to speak about the LIVING FAITH that has the size of mustard seed. God has given you a faith of the size of mustard seed, WITH WHICH YOU CAN CATCH GREAT JESUS, WHO BELIEVES IN FAVOUR OF YOU IN FRONT OF THE FATHER!

6. THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL

The mystery of the Gospel is not merely the knowledge or proclamation about what Jesus has done for the mankind. The true content of the Gospel of Jesus means that Jesus Himself ACCOMPLISHES HIS SALVATION IN THE LIVES OF HIS BELIEVERS. The secret of the Gospel is in the fact that Jesus Himself enters into those people who have surrendered themselves unto Him. Then He takes a supernatural form in them! JESUS IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY! This is possible because Jesus through His Salvation broke the law of sin and death upon the man and made possible him to be born again from the Spirit of God. The presence of Jesus in you and me opens the heaven on the earth and leads into the presence of the glory in front of the throne of the Father God - even in the resurrection body.

Col 1:25-27: …whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God, even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY:

The purpose of the Gospel is that Jesus will come into you and you will be transformed into likeness of his image. Receiving Jesus means irrevocable death sentence to your sinful character - from the first beginning of your faith life! You new creation must stand up to reign in your life. Then the Person of Jesus can operate and be revealed through your life in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Through increasing filling with the Holy Spirit and Word of God the power of God is working in you and changes you 'from power to power and glory to glory'!

Take a peaceful moment to ponder following questions in your heart. Do not hurry and pass their serious challenge. Find out in your heart, what is the condition of your heart concerning these questions:

  1. Do I want or am I able to surrender unto Jesus so completely that I would not anymore fight against any of His plans in my life?
  2. Do I really believe that I can overcome with Him all sin, hurts and curses that I recognize affecting my life?
  3. Do I really believe that Jesus takes care of all my needs, if I only surrender unto Him?
  4. Do I or can I deeply and completely be changed into likeness of the image of Christ?

Now we have Good News for you! Definitely you can answer to all these questions YES - without any question! And there is even more included in this area. Because you have given your life to Jesus HE ALSO EXPECTS that you will answer YES. He has prepared such a way for you that you will reach your destination with Him. In your salvation there is nothing that you could not receive. You are already in supernatural growth process, where the Lord is finishing His work in you. Worship the Lord for your finished salvation!

Pray following prayer out loud and meaning what you say:

"Dear Jesus, thank You for saving me. Jesus, I confess my unbelief and reluctance towards You. I confess that I have kept some areas of my life under my own control and privacy. I want now to surrender You wholly. I renounce my resistance and disobedience. I surrender myself with free, joyful and willing heart - completely into Your glorious presence.

I believe that You have already forgiven all my sins and carried all my sicknesses, diseases and curses. I reject all unbelief, fear, worrying, bitterness, disappointments and confusion. I trust that through Your presence full health and new power are flowing into my life. I trust that You will open me a new calling and anointing. I trust that You will give me abundance in the areas of my economy. Come Jesus, seize me and overwhelm me with Your love, purity and glory. I want to be Yours completely. I want to obey Your will in my life. Thank You Jesus that I am Yours now, always and forever. Amen."

Mark 11:24: Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Because of the redemptive work of Jesus and because you have received Him without conditions, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE all, that you pray in faith. Proclaim that this right has taken effect in your life! Speak out loud several times following proclamation and continue your life receiving more from God:

  • THANK YOU JESUS, NOW I BELIEVE THAT I CAN RECEIVE YOUR GIFTS!
  • THANK YOU JESUS, NOW I BELIEVE THAT I RECEIVE ALL BLESSINGS OF GOD IN JESUS!
  • THANK YOU JESUS, NOW I RECEIVE MORE, I RECEIVE MORE!
  • THANK YOU JESUS, NOW I AM BLESSED TO RECEIVE FROM YOU ANYTHING THAT IS GOOD!
  • THANK YOU JESUS, NOW I LIVE IN YOU AND YOU LIVE IN ME! AMEN!

With love and blessings
Seppo
